"Hello everyone, disciples of the Mountain and Sea Sect. I'm Wanyan Donglin. "Many of you have heard my name but have never met me. Some of them have heard my teachings before, and some of them haven't. Anyway, let me first talk about this teaching, why you have to collect your precious medals. ”

"Originally, teaching the Fa within the sect is the responsibility of the division commanders of each team in your district, and if you worship the disciples, you have the right to enjoy the teachings of the division commander. However, everyone also knows that in order for a sect to prosper, it must not be divided into strong and weak, and everyone must be treated equally, and there must be a certain incentive law. Receiving your two medals means that you have at least two medals in your hands first, and you are already a disciple with certain qualifications, which can also stimulate you to train hard, study, contribute to the sect, and seek more tokens. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled, "Of course, these are all big truths. I'm sure you get the idea. People don't value things that are easy to get, and they only value the value of this lecture if they pay a huge price. You get it, too. ”

"The most direct purpose is to mix some medals for me. As you know, the sect's medal coins are too difficult to earn. I have taken a fancy to a bottle of good elixir, and I will take the opportunity to ask for your support. ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the tent was relaxed. Jin Ling also laughed heartily.

"Straight to the point. When you come to listen to my teachings, you have encountered such and such problems in the process of cultivating the Recipe of Mountains and Seas. Some people have already heard me talk about it, and some people haven't. In any case, I'm going to talk about it here, and I hope it will be enlightening for you. ”

"Let me ask you first, what is the meaning of these three words?" After Yan Donglin looked around, he pointed to a disciple: "Chen Kun, you can tell me." ”

A disciple stood up, this was an intermediate immortal master, and said loudly: "The mountain and sea recipe was created by Chonghua Zhenren, the founding ancestor of my sect. At that time, the patriarch of Chonghua sat on the extreme peak of this day, sat on the mountain and faced the sea, realized the Tao for 9981 days, and finally created this brilliant mental method. This mountain naturally refers to the Tianji Peak where our sect is located, and this sea naturally refers to the Beihai under the Tianji Peak. The majesty of the mountains and the richness of the sea are the essence of this method. ”

"That's a good point. Wanyan Donglin said, "The purpose of the mountain and sea formula, whether it is the first or the ninth, is ultimately inseparable from the words mountain and sea." These two words run through the entire mind. It can be said that as long as you comprehend the essence of these two words, the entire mountain and sea recipe can be self-taught. ”

The essence of the mountains and the sea?

Everyone in the tent pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"What Chen Kun said just now is right, Patriarch Chonghua has indeed realized the true meaning of the mountain and sea recipe from Beihai and Tianji Peak. However, the mountains in the Mountains and Seas after this no longer only refer to the Heavenly Pole Peak, and the sea in the Mountains and Seas does not only refer to the North Sea. They refer to all the majestic mountains and all the seas in the world! They refer to the true meaning of all mountains and all seas!"

"The mountains are majestic! The sea is heavy! The momentum of the mountains and seas is like everything in the world! Even if there is no battle, the powerful momentum can make the other party shake and give in!"

"The disciple understands. Chen Kun bowed down and was taught. The other disciples also meditated and digested carefully.

After Yan Donglin called the name again, this time referring to Feng Ruohan, "Tell me, how did you cultivate the first level of this mountain and sea technique?"

Feng Ruohan said respectfully: "The disciple followed all the steps on the first level, and did not dare to be sloppy in one step, and ran the immortal power according to the heart method, which took one year and seven months, and finally practiced. ”

"What about the second one?"

Feng Ruohan had a wry smile on his face, "I also follow what the heart says, run the immortal power step by step, keep failing, suffer endless pain, it took three years and three months, and finally I barely practiced." ”

"The third?"

Feng Ruohan's face was ashamed, "The disciple is dull, it has been three years since the third level of cultivation, and he still hasn't seen the doorway. ”

Wanyan Donglin said to the other disciples in the field, "Do any of you have the same cultivation path as him?"

Most of the disciples, more than eighty percent, should claim to be.

Wanyan Donglin nodded and said, "No wonder you, this is the right path of cultivation." The complete book of the mountain and sea recipe left by the ancestor to us, as long as we follow the steps mentioned on it and practice penances for many years, we will definitely continue to break through. So, who among you went to the top of the mountain, to the seashore to visualize?"

This time, only about fifty percent of the disciples responded.

"Visualization is a means of directly comprehending the essence of things, and it requires great talent and precise observation. Wanyan Donglin said, "Whether or not to visualize success depends on a comprehension of words, which is also the decisive force of talent." What are the results of those of you who go to the top of the mountain and the sea to visualize?"

Feng Ruohan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from the deputy sect master, the disciple once sat on the seaside for nine days and nine nights, letting the huge waves of the sea water pour his body, standing still, and also braved the wind and snow, standing on the top of the Tianji Peak to see the small mountains. However, in any case, it seems that there is no epiphany. ”

Others felt the same way and chimed in. A few were silent, apparently acknowledging the gains of visualization.

"Visualization?" Jin Ling's mind was cheerful, yes, he was busy practicing the mantra during this time, how could he really go to the top of the mountain, go to the beach to take a walk, and take a look? Is the essence of the mountains and the sea only from the book and the words to be experienced?

Not to mention anything else, Wanyan's sentence is at least worth those two medals!

"Visualization is very important, and it can't be done blindly. Wanyan Donglin said, "You can't rush to achieve success, enlightenment, only in the subtle way." Like the nine days and nine nights that Feng Ruohan said just now, less, too little. I have here a poem by the ancestor of Chonghua, called Guancang Sea, for everyone, I hope there is still some inspiration for you. ”

As he spoke, he whispered:

View the sea

It is bordered by the heavenly pole in the east to view the sea.

The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.

The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it.

The stars are splendid, if out of it.

Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song.

It's just a poem of scenery. All the disciples took pen and ink to record. Jin Ling silently recited it three times and kept it firmly in his heart.

What a grand spirit! The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it. This kind of sea is not only the image of accepting hundreds of rivers, but also embracing the world!

Is such a sea still a sea?

When Jin Ling recited it in his heart for the first time, he didn't feel anything about it. When I read it for the second time, my heart was shocked. When I read it for the third time, I already felt that I had an endless aftertaste.

"Our current cultivation is all following the old path of our predecessors. How the predecessors cultivated the Mountains and Seas back then, we will not be wrong, we will not go mad, but there will be no changes and innovations from the cultivation of our predecessors. Wanyan Donglin said regretfully, "Including me, this is how you came." ”

"But the more I cultivated, the more I felt that this mental method was more important than the image, and the inside rather than the surface. Wanyan Donglin said, "This is a little bit of my insight." And I have benefited immensely from these insights. What I can teach you, including visualization, and its connotations are all in this sentence, and how much you can comprehend depends on your qualifications. ”

Emphasis on meaning but not image?

Emphasis on the inside but not on the surface?

The connotation of these two sentences is very complicated, Jin Ling doesn't quite understand it, don't care about it so much, just keep it in mind and digest it slowly.

After listening to Yan Donglin's teachings, the disciples benefited a lot, and they each figured out the meaning of the scriptures and left in twos and threes.

Jin Ling didn't move, he stood in place, still chewing on those two sentences over and over again in his mind.

Focus on the meaning but not the image.

Focus on the inside, not the surface.

Until all the people had left, Jin Ling was still standing there thinking until nightfall.

"Stupid. Someone said lightly.

Jin Ling was suddenly startled, and found that there was a person wearing a hat and his whole body wrapped in a black cloak standing in front of him.

This person is of average height, his body is even a little thin, the shadow of the hat covers most of his face, and his face is pale and cold on the exposed cheeks.

It was indeed cold, looking at him, Jin Ling found that his body was a little cold.

I can't see the other party's cultivation, even if I use the Qi Hope Technique, the division-level Qi Hope Technique, I can't see the other party's cultivation. You must know that by cultivating the original scholar-level Qi Hope Technique, you can already observe the metallic essence of the purple level, and the division level will naturally go to the next level.

So how high should this person's cultivation be?

"You...... Hello. Jin Ling was stunned, and his voice was really a little dumbfounded.

In the shadow of the hat, the man's eyes shone like stars. He looked at Jin Ling, thinking, thinking. Originally, he was completely disdainful of a low-level disciple like Jin Ling, who was like mud and sand, but he seemed to have a very strange feeling, invisibly dragging himself to get close to the only remaining outer disciples in this square.

And Jin Ling, although he was not able to see the whole picture of the other party, but in his heart, he unconsciously seemed to feel a sense of closeness to the other party, very close, indescribable, and inexplicable.

It's like a long-lost brother, although the two sides have different appearances, but the feeling of passing by.

"My name is Jin Ling. Jin Ling said.

"Mingxin, Shangguan Mingxin. The man said.
