Chapter 51: The Tao is not the Way
Gu Qing had two problems to solve in cultivating Bing Xuanjin.
The first problem is how to quickly condense the ice energy. Bing Xuanjin will dissipate, which seems to be a shortcoming, but for the current Gu Qing, it is an advantage.
Because cultivators mainly rely on qi to judge whether others are cultivators or not, Gu Qing has no qi in his body, but has the miraculous effect of hiding himself.
Therefore, when Gu Qing went out, he did not have ice condensation on his body. When tracking the blind pianist before, he only temporarily condensed a little ice energy.
But sometimes there are intentional outsiders in the family, such as Duqi, He Qing and even Fang Wanqiu, when he happens to practice ice chip secret weapon kung fu, he has ice magic on his body, which is inevitably sensed and difficult to explain.
Therefore, researching a method to quickly generate Ice Xuan Jin would be of great benefit to Gu Qing.
This means that he doesn't have to condense ice energy in his body beforehand, and he can also respond to unexpected situations at any time.
Of course, no matter how fast the speed of ice Xuan Jin condensed, it would definitely not be able to compare with the situation where there was ice Xuan Jin accumulated in his body, but Gu Qing originally intended to be used as a surprise soldier, not a conventional means.
Now it took him about three breaths to condense the Ice Divine Strength.
This speed is not slow, but it is still too slow to use in actual combat. In the hands of cultivators, not to mention three breaths, even one-third of breaths can determine the outcome of life and death.
The second problem is relatively simple, and that is to increase the speed of the ice chips, while maintaining accuracy. This is similar to the marksmanship in the era of practicing firearms, it depends on hand-eye coordination and body reaction ability, which happens to be Gu Qing's advantage. So the solution to the second problem is to practice more - "without it, only the hands are familiar!"
Gu Qing shot the ice chips while thinking about giving this trick a name.
"Ice Spirit Silver Needle?"
It sounds good, but he's not Li Mochou.
"Shadowless Divine Needle. ”
Gu Qing thought of a terrible name again.
The borneol is thin, barely worthy of a needle, and transparent without a shadow.
"It still doesn't sound domineering enough. ”
"Heavenly Jedi God Slaughter Needle?"
Gu Qing shot faster and faster, but his attention was not very concentrated, and he was cranky. But he kept his head.
In fact, it is also a method of exercise, allowing the flying needle to form muscle memory, rather than transmitting another command through consciousness.
After using up Bing Xuanjin, Gu Qing condensed again, in this process, his attention was very concentrated, carefully feeling the process of Bing Xuanjin from scratch, and grasping the key.
The morning passed like this, and then Gu Qing went to Fang Mansion to send the Songhe Extension Chart, Fang Lao wanted to stay with Gu Qing for dinner, but Gu Qing refused.
The Fang family is obviously very lively today, but Old Fang's sons and daughters have not returned, and Fang Wanqiu is not there, but there are many members of the Fang family. Before leaving, Elder Fang also asked Gu Qing not to get involved in the murder case of Ding Dian Prison, he had already greeted the people in the official mansion, and he would not be entangled with him in this matter.
Gu Qing also guessed from Elder Fang's demeanor that Elder Fang knew a little bit of the inside story, and of course Elder Fang also helped him reduce a little trouble.
Gu Qing left the Fang Mansion and went straight to the slow embroidery in the city.
When the maid Xiaolian saw Gu Qinglai, she took out a letter and said, "This is the young lady's reply that I copied, you can take it." ”
Gu Qing took it and said in his heart: "Copying, Miss Xu replied so quickly, it seems that it is not a normal means to use." ”
He tucked the letter in his sleeve and thanked him.
Xiaolian took out another crane and said, "Miss vaguely remembered the size of the childe, and gave us the drawings of this crane, and we drove it out overnight, and the son tried it, if it doesn't fit, we will change it again." ”
This is the second time Gu Qing has been given clothes, and they are all women. But last time it was an old lady who was almost eighty years old, and this time it was a little girl about eighteen years old.
He didn't shirk it, he tried on his clothes, and tightened it slightly, but it was because his body shape had changed a little after he mixed the second layer of Yuan Tongzigong.
Gu Qing didn't let Xiaolian change, he said, "It's quite suitable." ”
Xiaolian looked at it and said, "It seems to be a little tighter, but Childe thinks it's suitable." You really look a little like a fairy in this dress. ”
Gu Qing said: "You haven't seen an immortal again. ”
Xiaolian was stunned.
Gu Qing saw her look and felt very strange, he was just joking, why Xiaolian seemed to have a little intention of refuting.
But Xiaolian didn't say anything after all.
Gu Qing said again: "Thank you for me, I don't know where she is now, I also want to give her a gift." ”
Xiaolian said: "Miss can't receive a gift from Childe now, but things are going well on her side, and she should be back in two months, so Childe will personally give her a gift when she arrives." ”
Gu Qing nodded, and he said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll leave first." ”
Xiaolian gave a gift and sent Gu Qing out.
Gu Qing took the letter and brought his clothes home, whether it was the painting boat in the river or other deep mansions in the southern suburbs, the road was full of festive festivities, but his small courtyard seemed a little bleak and lonely.
He's alone.
But Gu Qing didn't feel anything, he was poor, he was all a passer-by in the world, one came and one went away.
When he got home, Gu Qing still checked the house, and after there was no abnormality, he began to open the letter.
"The one who is in the fish is in the fish and forgets the fish, the hoof is in the rabbit and forgets the hoof, and the speaker cares and forgets the words. ”
Gu Qing: "......"
Can Miss Xu put it bluntly, what kind of reply is this?
Isn't he asking directly enough?
Gu Qing rubbed his head, because it was a letter copied by Xiaolian, there should not be such things as hidden content, it seems that it has to be understood from this paragraph itself.
Gu Qing also knows the source of this passage, which is the Chinese character of the Taoist Scripture.
This passage exists in both the previous world and this world.
It's just that the author is different.
The original meaning of this passage is that the hooves, hooves, and words are all tools, and the goal is still fish, rabbit, and meaning, as long as the spiritual essence is obtained and understood, then these tools can be forgotten.
"Miss Xu means that you want to analogue symbols? Symbols are tools, but I also have to understand how to use them to understand the true meaning. ”
Gu Qing thought left and right, pacing back and forth.
Eventually, he decided to start thinking about the symbols.
Starting from the first symbol, Gu Qing recalled repeatedly, observed from various angles, and even wrote it on paper, writing the first symbol over and over again.
Gu Qing seemed to have grasped something.
At a certain moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The Tao is not the way, but it can be understood but not spoken." Words do not hide the Tao, but imply the existence of the debut. And not because the words themselves have the connotation of Tao. It's like a rabbit net used to catch rabbits, do I have to understand how rabbit nets are made and what materials are used? Actually, no, as long as I see rabbit nets, I know in my heart that they can be used to catch rabbits, and I don't have to think about how rabbit nets are made and what materials they are. ”
These symbols may have their own meaning, but they are by no means the meaning that the person who left the symbol conveyed. ”
For example, if Gu Qing hadn't gotten the cultivation memory of Gangxiang, but only got the mantra of the Mixed Yuan Boy Gong, he would definitely be confused.
An important inheritance in the spiritual world lies in the understanding of the mind. Of course, Bing Xuanjin's kung fu is not at this level, so He Qing himself doesn't pay much attention to it, and the Red Cross Society is willing to auction it off.
Mixed Yuan Tong Zi Gong is different, just like stealing to learn Mixed Yuan Tong Zi Gong is to secretly observe the stone slab that records the Mixed Yuan Tong Zi Gong, and after repeating it many times, he naturally understands what the Mixed Yuan Tong Zi Gong is, rather than practicing according to the mantra.
The slate has the meaning of mixed yuan boy gong, and the gang elephant got the meaning, so the cultivation was successful, not the gang elephant memorized the mantra and the practice was successful.
Gu Qing was able to practice because he had obtained the meaning of the Gang Image.
"It doesn't matter if I recognize you or not. ”
Gu Qing wrote down the first symbol again, and there was a heartstring that seemed to be plucked, mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful.
