Chapter 28: The First Step of Practice

The old man was at the Daokong Cliff and said, "The first step of cultivation can be divided into, the practice of stillness and the practice of movement. ”

A disciple below asked, "What is it, the practice of tranquility." ”

The old man explained: "The practice of tranquility is one by one, and it is true to keep quiet. ”

To the extreme, the void is nothing, and the pole is the extreme, that is, to make oneself appear as empty as possible.

To be quiet, to remain still, to remain steadfast, is to be as quiet as possible without being disturbed by negative factors from the outside world.

It means that there is no trace of distractions and pollution, and it is empty, clear, and clear, which is a state of mind.

But we must maintain this mental state, the mind is not disturbed by the outside world, the heart is like water, and humanity is one.

The old man recounted this, and another outer disciple asked, "The heart is like water, and humanity is one, how can we do it?"

The old man replied: "The heart is like water, and it is characteristic to maintain the unity of humanity." ”

People should achieve the following ten characteristics: nothingness, naturalness, purity, simplicity, simplicity, quietness, non-action, weakness, and indisputability, which are the ten paths of cultivation.

The old man explained very clearly, and the outer disciples below all nodded, roughly understanding the meaning.

Su Chen also roughly understood, the first step of cultivation, the heart is like stopping water, humanity is one, maintaining this mental state, the mind is free of distractions, keeping it pure, and not being disturbed by the outside world.

After a while, the old man continued to preach, practicing the second step, and then the next lecture on the practice of moving one by one.

The practice of movement is simply the practice of the body.

An outer disciple below asked suspiciously, "How does the body practice?"

The old man explained: "Even if the body is physical, our body is the same, on the surface, it is just an ordinary body. ”

In fact, the human body is full of everything, we can't see it, we can't touch it, and the seemingly small body can contain countless doors one by one.

Constantly exercise the body to open these doors one by one, and unearth the body hidden one by one.

Constantly breaking through oneself and breaking the confinement of heaven and reason, this is the practice of moving one by one.

The old man shouted: "Do you understand, the first two steps of cultivation, you must keep it in mind, this is the practice of one by one. ”

"Understood!" a group of outer disciples below were full of anger and responded loudly.

Su Chen almost understood, it turned out that he kept opening the doors one by one, and unearthed the body to hide one by one.

I've read some of them in books before, such as: Like strength. Some people will have more and more strength after exercising their muscles, and this is one of the ways of the Dao.

Practice, the practice of tranquility and the practice of movement, roughly refer to it, and it is almost clear to understand, and it can also be thought of as the two concepts of physical cultivation and spiritual cultivation.

The old man continued to say a lot of words, telling in detail, a group of outer disciples, when they encountered questions, they asked questions, and the old man patiently answered them one by one.

The practice of tranquility, the beginning is to sit quietly and collect the heart, rest assured, single-minded, calm and calm, naturally achieved, luck back and forth into a cycle, endless, endless, no distracting thoughts, and then no seven emotions and six desires, the realm of selflessness, all in oneself one by one.

The practice of movement can be divided into the three treasures of the human body: essence, qi, and spirit.

Everything in the world has a beginning, and our body is the place of beginning, under the umbilicus.

The vitality of life under the umbilicus contains the essence and qi of the whole body, and the experience of accumulating experience can exercise the natural energy, and the god is a kind of spiritual energy.

Any kind of mystic method that wants to be performed is inseparable from the essence, qi, and spirit of one by one.

Jing Yiyi is the origin of the body and the material basis of life activities, such as human blood, sweat and so on.

Qi is both matter, function, and energy. For example, it is an intangible substance that nourishes the human body in constant motion, and is the power and function to maintain life activities.

God is the supreme commander of all life activities, including spirit, will, consciousness, soul, spirit, movement, consciousness, and so on.

The essence, qi, and spirit are mutually breeding and mutually reinforcing, and the relationship between them is very close, and the three are the foundation of human life.

Next, the disciples below kept asking questions, and the old man patiently answered and analyzed them one by one.

All kinds of common sense, experience, and experience encountered in the practice are explained one by one.

In this way, a month passed unconsciously, and Su Chen gained a lot during this time, and he slowly fully understood and integrated his conceptual knowledge, and almost felt that he could start practicing.

Cultivation is a difficult process, especially when you first embark on the path of cultivation, you must be guided, otherwise you will not know how to start and how to practice.

Today, the old man said that he explained the basic method of cultivation, and the supreme supreme scripture of Taixuan Palace was the first volume of the Taixuan Sutra.

As soon as you hear the name of "Taixuan Sutra", you will know that the founder is the founder of Taixuan Palace, and the scriptures written by Emperor Taixuan are one by one.

Emperor Taixuan is a person who is too courageous, when Emperor Taixuan collected the world's immortals and asked for Taoist scholars, and part of the scriptures of the "Taixuan Sutra" was the upper volume of the Taixuan Emperor's scriptures, which were circulated in the world and provided the world with practice.

Many big families or small sects have the first volume of the Taixuan Sutra, which can be said to be known as the strongest cultivation foundation in the ancient wilderness continent, and it is also the most common practice method.

Emperor Taixuan kept the middle volume, the second volume, and nine emperor-level secret techniques of the "Taixuan Sutra" in the Taixuan Palace, and did not circulate them in the world.

The scriptures of "Taixuan Jing" are divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and there are nine kinds of emperor-level secret techniques, which represent the foundation of Taixuan Palace, and Taixuan Palace has always been standing, which is exactly the case.

Outer disciples can only practice some basic exercises, that is, the "Taixuan Sutra" one by one on the scriptures.

Only inner disciples and true disciples, as well as those with a position above the elders, can possibly cultivate the middle and second volumes of the Taixuan Sutra.

As for the nine emperor-level secret techniques, as long as the inner disciples of the Taixuan Palace rely on their own comprehension, as for how many secret techniques they can comprehend, it depends on their personal talent and understanding.

It's just that in the past 6,000 years, since the Taixuan Emperor Patriarch created nine secret techniques, except for the Taixuan Patriarch alone, no one has been able to comprehend the nine secret techniques.

A disciple in the crowd asked suspiciously, "Law Enforcement Great Elder or Sect Leader True Person, can't they comprehend all nine secret techniques?"

The old man looked at the disciple and replied: "The ancestor of the Taixuan Emperor, the amazing talent, the unfathomable, created the "Taixuan Sutra" and nine kinds of secret techniques, as long as the world can comprehend a secret technique, it can be called a rare genius in ten years. ”

The Great Elder of Law Enforcement is known as one of the most outstanding people in the three hundred years of Taixuan Palace, and he has been proficient in six secret arts.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they all praised it, the Great Elder was too powerful, comprehending the six secret techniques, but more people admired the ancestor of the Taixuan Emperor.

"I've heard Senior Brother say, the Great Elder's strength is second only to the Palace Master, three hundred years ago, the Great Elder fought with the Palace Master, the Great Elder lost to the Palm Sect True Person with a move, and since then, the Great Elder and the Palm Sect True Person, have never fought again. There was a disciple in the crowd who was extremely well-informed and said.

Now that 300 years have passed, who knows who is strong and who is weak.

Some of the people in the crowd were outer disciples, talking softly and talking to each other, some people thought that the Great Elder was more powerful, and some people felt that the real person in charge was more powerful.

Who is more powerful, I'm afraid only the Great Elder and the Master, they themselves know better.

Su Chen was listening to the crowd, and then slowly calmed down, ready to start practicing.

There are no shortcuts to practice, step by step, a solid foundation has been laid, and time has passed like this.
