Chapter 67: The History of Spiritual Practice

"Do you eat meat?"

The three people, two cats and one snake sat around the hot pot, and Yang Lao Ghost warmly greeted Zhang Huairen and Gao Laodao, "If you don't eat meat, you can watch me eat it!"

"Eat, eat!" Zhang Huairen and the others hurriedly picked up the bowl, and Gao Lao Dao even explained, "The old Taoist priest had to eat meat every day before he became a monk, and he secretly tasted it several times after he became a monk!"

So for the two of them, there is nothing taboo about eating meat.

Yang Xi couldn't help but be disappointed on his face, and pulled the plate containing the meat to his side, "Then you will remember to eat less, I am a big family!"

......

"Little Fairy...... Can we ask you something?" After eating some potatoes and cabbage, Zhang Huairen couldn't help but speak again.

Yang Xi directly rejected him, "I don't like to talk about business during dinner, if you want to give me some guidance on cultivation or something, I'll talk about it when you finish doing chores for me!"

"Oh. Zhang Huairen and Gao Laodao couldn't help but be disappointed, lowered their heads and put some vermicelli into the bowl.

"But let's not talk about business, it's okay to gossip to you!"

Yang Xi changed his tone and said to them, by the way, all the cooked meat in the hot pot was fished into his own bowl, and a few pieces were divided into Gou Fulai and his wife.

Zhang Huairen and Gao Laodao were instantly happy, they didn't even eat the hot pot, put down the bowl and made a deaf look, waiting for Yang Xi to speak.

"Don't worry, pour me a cup of tea first. Yang Xi unceremoniously commanded others to serve him.

Zhang Huairen didn't feel offended, and served it to him respectfully, but when he smelled the fragrance of tea, he exclaimed, "Good tea! This is the top Lushan Yunwu tea, right?"

Old Ghost Yang grinned, his face was a little proud, "When I went back to Huizhou, I met someone from the Special Security Bureau here, and I asked them to send it to me." ”

Anyway, it's a bastard if you don't take advantage of it!

After taking a sip of tea and diluting the heat in his mouth, Yang Xi pondered and spoke, "You know the stages of cultivation, right?"

"Is it the kind that refines and refines qi and refines gods?" asked Gao Laodao.

"No," Old Ghost Yang shrank himself comfortably into the chair and said with a pout, "Refining and refining qi is the statement of the Inner Dan Sect, and the Inner Dan Sect arose after the Tang and Song dynasties...... Prior to this, the system of cultivation had always been based on the division of innate and human immortals. ”

"Human immortals have a life span of two hundred, and then they are immortals, earth immortals, earth immortals have the power to cross the world and turn over the clouds and rain, which can be said to be the top of the power that monks can reach. ”

"But this is not the final point, above the earth immortals, there is still an existence!"

Yang Xi raised a finger and emphasized, pointing to the sky, with a subtle expression, "That is the realm of heaven and man!"

"Heaven and man are in line with the Great Dao, as long as they pass the tribulation of the five decays, they can naturally live forever and live together in heaven and earth. ”

"There is still such a saying...... the two earth buns exclaimed, "We have been cultivating for many years, and we have never heard anyone talk about it." ”

"Of course you haven't heard of it, just in the past, the cultivation world has changed twice, and the cultivation methods will naturally be different. Yang Xi took another sip of tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"Twice?!"

Zhang Huairen, they were all scared to death by what Yang Xi said-this kind of thing, they didn't even dare to think about it before!

If there are similarities and differences in the methods of cultivation, it is good to say, after all, everyone's comprehension is different, and the way of cultivation is naturally different, but the word "change" is ...... Too much caution.

If it wasn't drastic to a wide range of changes, how could it be said in two words like this?

"What, how do you say that?"

Under the agitation of the mood, Gao Laodao couldn't care about his physical problems, and hurriedly urged Yang Xi to continue to talk about it, don't sell it anymore.

He's this age, but he can't afford to be hanged!

"Almost...... "Old Ghost Yang curled his fingers and calculated, muttering in his mouth, "It happened once during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then it happened again during the Tang and Song dynasties." ”

"Shang Zhou, in such an ancient era, did there also exist monks?"

"Nonsense, do you think that the cultivation world suddenly jumped out of the stone? It's not just a little bit of groping by the predecessors!"

Yang Xi glared back at Zhang Huairen, who was talking, and said in his heart that this person is serious, why doesn't he have any common sense at all?

Zhang Huairen shrank his neck and asked Yang Xi to continue to tell the story of the past.

Old Ghost Yang scratched his head, ate a piece of meat, and said, "Human beings should have started cultivating seven or eight thousand years ago...... It was almost the time of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. ”

"In ancient times, people's cultivation was just beginning and was not systematic, so if you want to obtain great mana and satisfy other desires, you need some special means to carry it out......

And those who use the means are the original monks – in today's teaching, we can call them witches. ”

Zhang Huairen slapped his thigh and stood up uncontrollably, "I remember, I remember mentioning in the notes of a certain senior that those wizards in ancient times did have the ability to form a cultivator!"

"It's no wonder that in ancient times, the tribal group was not only headed by the patriarch, but also by witches...... I said, how can a person who can stand at that level be ordinary?!"

"You still don't listen to me?!" Old Ghost Yang was very dissatisfied that he interrupted his speech, and hammered down the table with his hand.

Zhang Huairen sat back and was secretly laughed at by Gao Laodao for a while.

So Yang Xi continued, "However, because the methods of exercising witchcraft are very rough and cruel, and they like to use human martyrdom as a medium to gain power, so slowly, some monks gave up witchcraft and turned to practice qi refining methods......

"The so-called qi refining is to collect and devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, and the method is much gentler than witchcraft, and the effects are diverse, so during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the number of qi refiners increased, overpowering the witchcraft school in the past. ”

"The change of Shang and Zhou, in addition to being a cultural innovation, is also a great change for the spiritual world. ”

Cocking Erlang's legs, Yang Xi ate the scalded cabbage and exhaled a breath of heat.

It is said that the story has to taste when eating hot pot, and even people become more and more energetic the more they tell.

smashed his mouth and pressed back the excited two Taoist priests, Old Ghost Yang sorted out the language and continued to speak.

"The Qi Refining Method lasted for a long time, until the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the cultivation world ushered in its peak. ”

"However, everything has prosperity and decline, and the cycle of rise and fall is common sense, not to mention that Qi Refiners have also cultivated for thousands of years, so as soon as this peak is over, the cultivation world begins a second transformation. ”

Zhang Huairen and Gao Laodao listened nervously to Yang Xi's words, swallowing saliva in their mouths, and they were so anxious that they wanted to call out, but they didn't dare to interrupt - what if they interrupted Yang Xi's words, what if he refused to tell them?

"This change can be regarded as the beginning of the transformation of the cultivation world from prosperity to decline. ”

Speaking of this, Old Ghost Yang couldn't help frowning, after all, not long after that, the end of the law calamity was coming.

"Due to the rapid decline of the aura of heaven and earth, the qi refining method of simply absorbing the aura can no longer allow monks to cultivate, so it was not long before the more elaborate inner dan method jumped up and became a common cultivation method in the cultivation world. ”

"Aren't the Jindan, Yuanying and the like you are talking about divided because they are too particular?"

Yang Xi said to the two.
