Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 87 Cultivating the True Path and Cultivating Immortality

After being disturbed by the Heavenly Master Temple in Qingcheng Mountain for many days, the pair of master and apprentice in Kunlun Mountain have returned today, and Meng Zhenren of the Heavenly Master Temple can be regarded as free, and can carefully teach his granddaughter to crown a bit.

As the only daughter of the Sword Saint, Gongsun Ting's qualifications are needless to say, whether it is the way of arithmetic or the talent in the way of the sword, they are all the best choices, and growing up by the side of the Sword Saint, naturally there will be no lack of knowledge. But it's a pity that because she is the only daughter of the Sword Saint, she has been held in the palm of her hand by the Sword Saint since she was a child, and although she is extremely talented in swordsmanship, she has never practiced swordsmanship because the little girl doesn't like it. This makes those swordsmen who are limited by their qualifications and rarely see the peak scenery of swordsmanship, and who are a little trapped in a bottleneck, and who are difficult to advance for the rest of their lives?

"Gongsun, you have been in the view for half a month, based on what you have seen and heard, what is the view of the Heavenly Master?"

Gongsun Ting sat quietly opposite Meng Zhangjiao, and even the loose Taoist robe could not hide her cuteness. The appearance of the Sword Saint and his wife is not bad, and his only daughter is naturally a rare beauty embryo.

Hearing Meng Zhangjiao's question, the little girl thought for a while before slowly replying: "Xiaodao is almost overwhelmed by the way of arithmetic in the view, when he was in the White Emperor, even though there was no shortage of famous teachers to teach, but as time passed, it was inevitable to breed pride and complacency. When I arrived at the view, I saw that my uncle and uncle counted the sky, the calendar, and the life, and realized that in the past, I was just a person who sat in the well and watched the sky, which was really embarrassing.

There are also boring Taoist priests who thought that the land of Taoism was full of ascetic cultivation and strict adherence to the rules and precepts every day, but in fact, many fellow Taoists are exploring the truth of this heaven and earth, and the more they know, the more they feel that what they have learned before is too shallow. ”

"Good. ”

Meng Zhangjiao was extremely satisfied that Gongsun Ting could say such a thing, and to be honest, he was really afraid that this little female crown would not be able to endure the hardships of this Taoist temple. On that day, he firmly promised the Sword Saint to cultivate his daughter into a talent, if this good little woman grew crooked in the Taoist temple, it would always be difficult to explain.

Seeing that he was sitting upright, as if he was a little nervous, Meng Zhangjiao comforted: "It's good that a young man is like a young man, there is no need to pretend to be old, just casually, the Heavenly Master's view is a place outside the square, and some rules of the world do not apply here." ”

The little girl relaxed a little at this time, and no matter how much she saw, she was still a child. Children of ordinary people's age are still running around and playing around like crazy every day, and how many of them have been left alone to study and cultivate the Tao like her.

"I happened to have free time today, so I will tell you about our Dao Sect cultivation.

What you said before is that many fellow paths have explored the truth of heaven and earth, and this is true, but it is not comprehensive. According to the poor Tao, what the people of the world ask for and do are only:

Cultivating the true path and cultivating longevity, respecting heaven and earth and respecting cause and effect. ”

"That master, are the rumors of the Daomen's predecessors soaring in the daytime true?" After entering the view, in her spare time, the little girl's favorite is the legend of these gods and monsters, and these little Taoist priests of the same age are also willing to share their private stories with them.

"I don't know as a teacher, there are indeed many records in the Taoist classics, and our Taoist temple is named because Zhang Tianshi was here to appear and attain the Tao, and he soared in the daytime, but the time has passed, and there is no way to verify this matter. The so-called word of mouth is always a little more mysterious, and it is not the same as the truth. ”

As soon as the little girl showed a look of disappointment on her face, she heard Meng Zhangjiao continue:

"However, the final realm of my Dao Sect Mind Law corresponds to the realm of the Flying Ascension of the Day, but it is shallow for the teacher's Taoism, and it has not yet come to this point, if you are lucky enough to learn it in the future, you will definitely be the first to teach you this little female crown to know. ”

The little girl smiled, "Then there will be Master Lao." ”

Meng Zhangjiao patted his apprentice's head to show his doting, and then explained: "Since Lao Tzu founded Taoism, there are rumors about the realm. The Daomen have been inherited for many years, and the amazing and glamorous Daomen predecessors have emerged in endlessly.

Take Zhuang Zhou's predecessors as an example, the exercises inherited by this vein, when Xiaocheng urged, you can see the Kun swimming in the Beihai, and when the Kun comes out of the water and turns into Peng, it proves that this person has entered the realm of a product, and there will be no bottleneck since then, and the progress of cultivation for the Dao realm is not more than a thousand miles, but if this vein wants to reach the extreme, the most difficult thing is that his spirit must be integrated with this side of the world, and I am familiar with Zhuang Zhou Mengdie has reached this realm. ”

"Did Zhuang Zhou Xianxian become an immortal?"

I don't know, but there was such a rumor, Zhuangzi's wife had agreed with him that life and death were not compatible, Zhuangzi cheated and died, and he turned into a beautiful man to come to the house to mourn, and his wife was newly widowed, and the beautiful man took care of her, so it was inevitable that her mind would change. Within a few days, he took off his mourning clothes and put on red makeup, wanting to have fun with a beautiful man. At this time, Zhuangzi sighed from the coffin, stood upright, and the beautiful man disappeared, and Zhuangzi did not say much, and since then he left home and concentrated on cultivating. ”

Gongsun Ting always felt that this story was weird, so she had to sigh: "What Zhuang Zhou's predecessors thought and did was really unexpected. ”

It's really unexpected, after all, ordinary people can't do this thing.

Meng Zhangjiao skipped this sentence with a smile and continued: "All these rumors are already immortal methods, but this really cannot be used as a basis for judgment. After all, when it came to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, a real person in Miaoying, had diagnosed the Dragon King and received ten pearls from the Dragon King.

If this is true, then there is no reason why the ancestors have reached such a realm, but we are hesitant. Therefore, it is more likely that this is a joke made up by later generations for the sake of preaching, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never stopped, so it is not surprising to attract believers. ”

In Gongsun Ting's opinion, these rumors mentioned by Meng Zhangjiao are much more interesting than Taoist practice, but since he promised his father and mother to succeed in his studies when he left home, he still had to exercise a little restraint and practice with peace of mind.

But it doesn't matter if you talk to others in your spare time, hehe.

His thoughts returned to business, "Master, what about the exercises that Senior Brother Dongxuan has cultivated in their vein?"

"The cultivators on Kunlun Mountain take it as their duty to serve the way of heaven, if you say that the Taoist people in this world are the closest to the immortals, it should be your uncle. Kunlun Mountain Gongfa cultivates the five gods in Tibet, so that the five qi are passed inside, and the Yuan Shen ascends the nine-story building, and when the Yuan Shen steps on the top of the nine-story pavilion, he can gather the three flowers on the top and knock on the door of heaven.

However, as a teacher, you still have to say more, although your senior brother Dongxuan is proficient in yin and yang techniques, but this is more for the supplement of the vertical and horizontal learning in his chest, and his ambition is in this world, not to cultivate and become an immortal. ”

Gongsun Ting was a little embarrassed, and asked: "Why does the master want to talk more about Senior Brother Dongxuan, Xiaodao is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and he has no time to care about it." ”

Meng Zhangjiao has never broken it, the girl's Huaichun is the most beautiful emotion, and he still has to be a villain.

As if feeling that the atmosphere was a little solidified, Gongsun Ting took the initiative to ask, "Master, how can the method of visualization enter the hall?"

"The method of visualization was originally the magic power of Buddhism, and the people in Buddhism used it to control their own body and mind, starting from Buddhism, flourishing in Taoism, and now people in the three religions are all people practicing. ”

Seeing the little girl's somewhat indignant appearance, Meng Zhangjiao explained with a smile: "The three religions have been in dispute for a long time, and they are also communicating with each other and quoting each other's doctrines in the process of fighting. The so-called Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, and turned Hu into a Buddha was just that Buddhism wanted to gain a firm foothold here at that time. ”

Seeing that the little girl's face was slightly softened, Meng Zhangjiao continued: "At the beginning, the Buddha statues in the temple were all Hu people's appearance, but later, in order to promote the Dharma, they were replaced by the appearance of today's benevolent eyebrows. When I asked these bald heads, they said that the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas all had a thousand appearances, and their ugly appearances were unsightly, so they acted like this. Little girl, you know, on weekdays, these virtuous monks are very strong, but if you really want to fight, you don't need any face. ”

Gongsun Ting laughed at these words, and at the same time, she also realized that the master spoke like this in order to take care of her emotions, and respectfully said to Meng Zhangjiao, thanking the master for taking care of him.

This time, Meng Zhangjiao smiled at the corner of his eyes, and then said before: "The magic of visualization is extraordinary, and there are too many things that can be visualized, and many magical powers have been derived from this, but the so-called end of this method is to inherit the mind with the things of visualization, so as to survive in the world forever."

Everything in this world, after all, still can't escape the word balance, since the pursuit of combat power and supernatural powers, it can be regarded as cutting off the path to becoming an immortal. ”

"Isn't it immortal if your mind lives forever in the world, master?"

"No, no, if the body is dried up and the mind is left, unless you can find something that is not in the world, it is possible to go further. And in this process, once you have evil thoughts, it is a monster that will bring disaster to the world, and the disciples of the Taoist Sect, in order to maintain the stability of the world, should take action to get rid of it. ”

"Follow the Master's teachings. ”

"Good. In addition, there are some other ways, all of which are small paths, so I will not repeat them, such as there are also people in the Daomen who practice swordsmanship, but when you talk about this, it is different from the class gate with an axe. ”

"It's that the master wants to talk about kendo, but the apprentice doesn't want to hear it, it's too boring. ”

Hahahaha, the Sword Saint is like this, it's really interesting.

"Master, in this world, can anyone really enjoy the wonderful realm of immortality?"

Meng Zhangjiao's eyes were confused, as if he was caught in a memory, at the beginning of his cultivation, he had asked the master this question, how did the master answer at that time?

The idea of immortality originates from the weakness of the human body, but it will grow old in a few decades, and the things of immortality, if you believe it, you don't believe it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it.

"You can enjoy immortality by ascending to immortality, and you can also refine the elixir of immortality. ”

"Is there really an elixir in this world?"

"Maybe there will be in the future, but at present, those who take pills will either die of illness or violence, and they are not middle-aged. ”

"Then why are there so many fellow practitioners who are obsessed with it?"

"That's right, maybe. ”
