Chapter Twenty-Five: Sudden Change
For three days in a row, Qin Guan was in a mysterious realm, and Qing Jing set up a big umbrella for Qin Guan, and spring should pass soon, it is always raining these days, so Qin Guan is covered with a little rain. On the night of three days later, Qin Guan woke up from his contemplation, moved his body that was about to rust off, and saw that the night was thick, so he was not embarrassed to disturb the sleep of others, and quietly returned to his residence.
In the past few days, Qin Guan has not only carefully pondered the future cultivation path, but also perfected the plan to solve the ban of Luo Nan and others. Qin Guan thought so about the path of cultivation, combining the experience of Chang Wuzi, Ling Xiaozi and Lianshan Old Ancestor, and combining the miscellaneous studies he had learned from his grandfather Qin Peili in his previous life, as well as some Taoist books he had read in his previous life, to create a unique cultivation system. However, this system is not contrary to the current cultivation system in this world, but Qin Guan feels that he is stuck in the cultivation realm, and he is not a real cultivator. In his thoughts, a cultivator should uphold the principles that he has identified, either with the human heart and the heavenly mind, or with the heavenly heart and the mind of all sentient beings, which is simply divided into two types: birth and accession. Birth is easy to understand, that is, to live in seclusion in heaven and earth, and try to get as little cause and effect as possible. Entering the WTO is to enter the red dust to temper one's own Dao heart with various states of life. There is no difference between the two, there is no difference in difficulty, some are just different paths, but they have the same goal, and the ultimate goal is to lift the sun.
When there is a goal, there is motivation. But just daydreaming, everyone can, and there need to be concrete measures. Qin Guan is a casual person, and he has always disliked formulating things like strategies and guidelines to limit himself. But now that the family is dragged with their mouths, counting dozens of people (beasts), it is a little irresponsible to follow the feelings. In fact, he knew his own problems before, but he hadn't really thought about these things thoroughly, and since he came to this world for a few years, he had stepped into cultivation in a hurry, and he had run out of danger in a hurry, and then traveled thousands of miles in a hurry, and he had no time or energy to think about these things again.
This epiphany did not improve his cultivation, it was only a cultivation of his mind, and it laid the foundation for his future progress, which was a great gain. Sitting on the chair in his bedroom, Qin Guan began to stabilize his mind and recorded the things he had pondered over the past few days into the Xuanguang Mirror in his hand.
At the end of the day, everyone got up and began to wash, and the morning class was half an hour later, so everyone in Sanqingguan had already gotten up. Qin Guan worked hard to write all night, and it was not until it was over, and he hurriedly called Qingjing and others who were about to start the morning class, and asked the teenagers to recite "Huang Ting" by themselves, and several teachers of Sanqingguan gathered together and prepared to have a small meeting.
Gu Weirui first asked Qin Guan if there was any major problem in the past few days, and Qin Guan waved his hand: "It's nothing, but it has a lot of benefits." Then, I will tell you what I have summarized one by one.
The first is the cultivation system, the cultivation method in the current world is to refine and refine the qi step by step, and when the spiritual power is sufficient, then work hard to rush through the level and reach the next realm. But Qin Guan thinks that he pays too much attention to cultivation and ignores his state of mind, he had mentioned this matter a long time ago, and Ling Xiaozi also left an entrustment, but he has always only thought about this matter by himself, which is too thin. He just used books such as "Huang Ting Jing" and "Tao Te Ching" in his previous life as reading materials for morning and evening classes, and the effect was not very good, so he wanted to go further and come up with more measures to promote the cultivation of the mind. Of course, it wasn't enough for him to think alone, so he threw out the question first and asked everyone present to go back and think about it together.
Then he took out the two cultivation systems he had conceived, explained the meaning of being born and entering the WTO, and after seeing that everyone understood, he asked everyone to put forward their own opinions and suggestions, and he would summarize them in a few days.
Then there is the question of the exercises. In his opinion, the practice is just a one-sided manifestation of practice, too narrow, and he expressed the practice method conceived in his heart: "Practice is actually much the same, I think that the practice as a carrier, just inherit the wisdom of the predecessors, and lack of their own ideas, is not desirable." In the past few days, what I have been thinking about the most is this 'Tao', what exactly is the Tao? I believe everyone has read the Tao Te Ching, which contains a description of the Tao, but it is a truth when summed up. However, each living being's own truth is different, and we can't use a unified standard to measure whether this truth is correct or not, so we can only come up with a general direction for the practitioner to judge whether he or she is in line with his own path. ”
"I don't understand what the Lord is saying. Qing Xuan touched the back of his head and said to Qin Guan, "Could it be that there are still tens of thousands of kinds of 'Dao', so what is the 'Dao' that we are cultivating for?"
"Well, this is something to ask your heart, what are you cultivating for, for immortality, for being at ease, for helping the world, or for getting rid of shackles? Or do you do nothing, you just want to cultivate, that's also a kind of Tao. Qin Guan pointed at Luo Nan and said to everyone, "Luo Daoyou's cultivation is passive, and he was whipped behind to practice, this is not his way." Now in order to get rid of the troubles of prohibition, he is striving to cultivate, and this purpose is his way. ”
pointed at Gu Weirui again: "Senior Sister Gu is looking for her sweetheart thirty years ago, this is for love, this is her way." ”
said to Qingjing and Qingxuan: "The two of you have been in the world for decades, and then you followed my master, and what you admire in your heart is my master's vast supernatural powers, this is your way. ”
patted Helian Jun's shoulder again: "As for Helian's junior brother's way, it is to be able to cure his son, and then to study the formation." ”
Arched his hand towards Shutong: "The way of Shutong's predecessors is to travel the world, this is what I call the way of freedom." ”
He pointed at himself again and said to everyone: "As for me, in fact, I have felt that I am an ordinary person since I was a child, and the ordinary birth world should also dissipate in an ordinary way, but since fate has given me the opportunity to enter the cultivation, then I must leave something behind." The Tao is infinite and the manpower is limited, but I just want to try to find out the connotation of the Tao as much as possible, so that more people can come into contact with the Tao. In fact, he explained the 'Tao' as the road, the dream as the goal, and the 'Tao' as the path to the dream.
After saying it for a long time, seeing that everyone was thoughtful, it was not in vain that his words were not wasted. After thinking for a while, everyone asked another question: "Then how should we realize our own Dao?" Relying solely on cultivation is no longer feasible in Qin Guan's statement, and it is necessary to have a good mind, but everyone knows how to do it to refine and refine qi, which is relatively simple, but it is more difficult to refine the mind.
"Everyone's path is different, so the method of refining the mind must be different, so you need to go back and think about it yourself. "Qin Guan didn't make any suggestions, cultivation is personal, and he can't take care of everything, so isn't it a way of cultivation in the world where the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade?
In addition to putting forward a few questions for everyone to go back and think, Qin Guan also put forward the way he thought about how to operate the Sanqingguan in the future, which is summarized as "reaching is to help the world, and being poor is to be good alone", first improve the cultivation and mentality of everyone here, and only then will you have the opportunity to change the whole world in the future. "All living beings are suffering, and if we have the ability to help others and not do it, that is not the attitude that a cultivator should have. Qin Guan concluded.
Of course, this is just his own thoughts, he doesn't have his heart, he can't know the thoughts of others, but subtly, he will always be able to influence everyone here to follow him to change the world, after all, living in a good world is much better than a boring world.
-------------------------------------
The first session of the "Struggle for a Better Life" sharing meeting ended successfully, and everyone who attended the meeting had a lot of gains, in addition to having a lot of questions to think about, and having to hand over a piece of experience to Qin Guan in the future, everyone was very satisfied, and Shu Tong even proposed to hold such a conference every once in a while in the future, and it was best to become a rule. This suggestion was strongly supported by Qin Guan, and the rest of the people had no opinions, so it was decided.
Everyone should go back to think about the problem, and then go to class for the teenagers, Qin Guan calmed down by himself and continued to compile his "Three Qinglu".
Books are the ladder of human progress, and Qin Guan agrees with this sentence very much. But he also knows that it is better to believe in books than to have no books, because books are only carriers of knowledge, not shortcuts to goals, and they still have to rely on their own efforts. However, it does not prevent him from compiling the books in his hand and handing them over to others to study, which can save a lot of effort from others to ponder his own Tao, which can be regarded as putting forward a vague concept and allowing the reader to fill in his own knowledge.
"Sanqinglu" is a mixture of Qin Guan's own cultivation knowledge, the inner and outer parts are described separately different things, the inner part is the law, the technique, the trick, the outer part is the encyclopedia, he believes that the more he understands, the clearer he can see where his Tao is, and the more sure he is to achieve his dreams. Qin Guan's dream is very big, and there are many of them, and after countless small dreams are achieved, then the ultimate dream is close at hand.
In the next few months, Qin Guan turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and was only focused on writing books, and he didn't even care about the fact that the steward's mansion of Danghai City sent someone to invite him to participate in the sea sacrifice ceremony. Everyone had no choice but to let Luo Nan, who was the highest Taoist in the temple, take the first class and others to attend the grand event for Qin Guan. The sea festival is a tradition in Danghai City, every summer and autumn at the turn of time, such a grand event will be held, not only to pray for business prosperity, Baitai Min'an, but also to make a big promotion for the merchants in the market, which is to give back to new and old customers.
Qin Guan is working behind closed doors, not caring about any merchants' big promotional activities, but things always happen inadvertently. On this day, he was pondering in the room whether to divide the bottleneck of the "Kaiguang" layer between Zhuji and Jindan as a separate cultivation realm, and then elaborate on it, but this bottleneck varies from person to person, some people can meet it, some people can't, and the people he meets may not be able to get through it for a lifetime, or it may break through in an instant, so it is difficult to define. Qin Guan has been pondering for several days, but he has not yet made up his mind, and he is still deliberating. Suddenly, he felt that there was a fluctuation of aura in Swinging Sea City, not the slight tremor that ordinary monks broke through, but a fierce collision, as if someone was fighting. Putting away his scrutiny, he hurriedly pushed open the door to see what was going on.
In the courtyard, Helian Jun was arranging the magic circle, and when he saw Qin Guan coming out, he hurriedly said to him: "Lord Guan, go to the city to pick up Luo Nan and them, Luo Nan passed the news and said that there was a person from Lingyin Tower who stabbed the three major stewards of Haicheng, and the three stewards were all plotted." Qin Guan didn't have time to inquire about more news, so he sent a message to Shu Tong in the courtyard, asking Shu Tong to take the rest of the people to guard the station, and wait for him to come back with Luo Nan and the others. Then he took out a magic sword obtained from Lianshan Cave Mansion, threw it in the air, and staggered to the city.
Most of the magic weapons left by the ancestors of Lianshan have been in disrepair for many years, lack of nourishment, and a large part of them are no longer usable, only five magic swords and one black jade Ruyi can still be used, and the rest are only left in shape, and basically can no longer be instilled with spiritual power. Qin Guan took a magic sword and the black jade Ruyi, and distributed the rest to Helian Jun and the four of them, and gave the rest to Gu Weirui, so that she could figure out other people's refining techniques. The magic sword is called Bai Hong, the sword is three feet long, engraved with three thousand "solid" patterns, such as three thousand silk threads wound on the sword body, and it is the strongest among the five magic swords. Qin Guan's favorite thing is a sturdy magic weapon, and the dust left by Ling Xiaozi was like this, although the function is single, but with Qin Guan's slightly small swordsmanship, it complements each other.
Qin Guan hadn't particularly practiced the flying of the imperial weapon, but after shaking for a while, he got used to the feeling of flying the imperial weapon, and before he could savor the taste of flying, he had already come to the scene of the sea sacrifice ceremony. When he was on the road, Qin Guan had already felt more than ten aura fluctuations, each one more intense, and even once he almost lifted his magic sword away, and Qin Guan took a lot of effort to stabilize it. Even if he was fully prepared, he was still shocked by the tragic atmosphere in the sea sacrifice ceremony: the ceremonial platform standing in the square in front of the governor's mansion had been torn apart, many stumps and broken arms were scattered around, a large group of masked black-clothed monks were scattered in the crowd and killing wantonly, and the monks who were still alive were struggling to resist, but looking at this situation, defeat was not far away. Above the ceremonial platform, Liao Xingchen, Gu Qinfang, and Min Hui, the three great stewards of Swinging Sea City, were fighting against a masked black-clothed monk, and the envoys came and went with magic weapons, but the black-clothed monk who couldn't see his face clearly seemed to be much more advanced than the three of them, and he was not inferior to one enemy and three enemies. Qin Guan was anxiously looking for the whereabouts of Luo Nan and the others, and suddenly heard Luo Nan's voice coming to say that they were hiding in the steward's mansion, Qin Guan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went around a big circle, avoiding the scene of the chaotic battle and going to the steward's mansion.
