Baicheng walked out of the Ming Hall, the sun was rising, the sun was shining on the ground, and the surroundings were bright.
The thin old man was already waiting outside, leaning on the tall door frame, covering his mouth and yawning, and said, "Why did you kid come out?"
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, slowly stepped forward and said, "In Xia Baicheng, thank you for the help of the old man, I don't know what the old man is called." ā
His inexplicable fear of the old man faded away, and curiosity gradually took over
The thin old man smiled, didn't answer, reached out and took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to Bai Cheng and said, "Go back and memorize this book well, it will be good for you." ā
After speaking, he ignored Bai Cheng, swaggered, turned around and walked towards the palace.
Bai Cheng took the book, looked at his back and shook his head, turned around and walked towards Chenji's small courtyard.
Back in the small courtyard of Chenji, it was still early, and the house was a little stuffy.
Bai Cheng simply moved the chair to the courtyard and picked up the scroll given by the thin old man.
The scroll is more than two inches thick, and the light blue cover reads four big characters of "Military Strategy and Mystery", and the penmanship is wanton.
Bai Cheng opened the cover, and inside was a neat fly-headed small letter, mixed with a lot of graphics, and there was no blank space.
The whole book is about the affairs of the army, starting from the basic recruitment and training, including camping, formation, and handover, as well as various tactics, various formations, and even the biographies of the main military generals of the Seven Kingdoms.
This book is unsigned, I don't know who wrote it, but the author is by no means very human, not only deeply understands the mysteries of military law, but also has extremely amazing literary attainments.
Since Bai Cheng picked up the book, he was reluctant to put it down, and studied it carefully word by word, until it was nearly dusk, and he finished reading the whole book before putting down the book.
Since Bai Cheng was promoted to the micro realm, he has tempered his mind day and night with the "Thunder Universalization of All Things Life and Death Sutra", and he has the ability to never forget, but after half a day's effort, he recorded all the content of this book in his mind.
To this day, his cultivation path is also very different from that of ordinary martial artists, and his mental cultivation is extremely strong, not only stronger than martial artists of the same level, but even stronger than Taoist priests of the same realm.
When he was in the Flying Star Gate, he only knew one cultivation path of martial arts, and later after meeting the Qingji Daoist in the Nine Immortals Temple, he knew that there was another cultivation path.
Martial arts and Taoism, these are the two cultivation paths he knows now.
Qingji Daoist once told Bai Cheng that these two cultivation paths, no matter which path they take, if they want to reach the peak, they must take into account the cultivation of the body and mind at the same time, and the two cannot be neglected one or the other.
But this is not to say that there is no difference between the two paths, on the contrary, there are great differences between these two paths on the path of cultivation, and the most important point is that the focus of cultivation is different.
People in the martial arts pay the most attention to the physical body, and take the physical body cultivation as the realm division standard, and divide the cultivation realm into three levels and nine realms, which are the three levels of quenching the body, practicing qi, and refining the gods, and each level is divided into three realms. For example, the quenching level has three realms: easy tendons, mental movements, and subtleties.
The people in the Taoist sect take the cultivation of the mind as the standard for division, which are the period of divine birth, the long-term period of the gods, and the period of divine maturity, and each period is divided into three stages: before, during and after.
These two divisions correspond one-to-one, in which the quenching level is for the divine birth period, the qi training level is for the divine long-term, and the refining divine level corresponds to the divine maturity period.
According to the Qingji Daoist, the reason why the predecessors summed up such a one-to-one correspondence is not because of boredom, but because the cultivation of the mind and the body cannot be too far apart, at most it cannot exceed one order, otherwise it will not be able to break through no matter what.
For example, the cultivation of the physical body is a cultivator of the Yi Muscle Realm, and the cultivation of the mind and mind must not break through to the long-term of the gods. In the same way, the cultivation of the mind and spirit is a cultivator in the early stage of divine life, and the cultivation of the physical body will never advance to the level of qi cultivation.
There is only one way to break through, and that is to cultivate all the power of the mind and the body to the limit of this level, and only in this case can one of the paths break through the realm.
Bai Cheng didn't know anything about the division of the Dao Gate in the past, and that was because in the foundation stage, the difference between the two roads was not too big.
Most of the exercises in the martial arts that can be cultivated to the realm of qi cultivation have a simple method of refining the mind, which can crush dark thoughts, nourish the mind, and slowly improve the cultivation of the mind.
In fact, the vast majority of martial artists also use this method, that is, first cultivate to the subtle realm, and then slowly refine the mind, and then after the mind and spirit cultivation reach the late stage of divine life, and then think of breaking through to the level of qi training. Daomen disciples are the same, except that they often cultivate to the late stage of divine life first, and then turn around to refine their physical bodies.
Bai Cheng had curiously asked the Qingji Daoist a question, since in the end, the cultivation of the physical body and the cultivation of the mind had to be balanced, why couldn't they go hand in hand from the beginning?
The answer of the Qingji Daoist was that this mode might be feasible in the foundation stage, but after entering the Qi cultivation level, it would not be feasible at all.
This is because for the vast majority of Qi Rank or Divine Long-Term Masters, they will not be able to take a single path to the peak of this stage in their lifetime. As for going back and building another road, it is only theoretically possible.
The consequence of the two paths going hand in hand is that the progress of the realm is extremely slow, and it is neither able to defeat a martial artist who cultivates the strength of the physical body alone, nor a Taoist priest who cultivates the power of the mind alone.
As for the possibility of the two paths going hand in hand and finally successfully advancing to the next realm, just look at how many Qi Cultivation Masters there are in the world, and how many God Refining Grandmasters there are.
Bai Cheng grew up in the Flying Star Gate since he was a child, and before he went down the mountain, he had always focused on physical cultivation and walked the path of martial arts.
When he left the Flying Star Gate, his physical body cultivation had reached the realm of Yi Jin Xiaocheng, and his mental cultivation was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary martial artists because of the "Breaking the Jade and Returning to the Yuan Jue".
After going down the mountain, he got the help of Fang Yin's pot of spiritual wine, and his physical body broke through to the realm of mind movement, which was far beyond his mental cultivation.
It wasn't until he got the Nian Stone that his spiritual cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds, and then he cultivated the "Thunder Universalization of All Things and the Destruction Sutra", and his mental cultivation even surpassed the physical body cultivation, breaking through the middle stage of divine life in one fell swoop, forming a martial arts mind.
Later, he absorbed a bag of Nian Shi in Qingyang Mansion, and his mental cultivation rushed to the late stage of divine life, and at the same time, because of the stimulation of the power of the mind, all the medicinal power absorbed in the ink rain pool was erected, and he also broke through to the subtle realm, and the physical body cultivation and the mental cultivation reached a balance for the first time.
This situation lasted until the Battle of Sanhe Mansion, and after he absorbed a mysterious warmth sent by the Northern Immortal Sword, his physical body cultivation skyrocketed, and even broke through the limit of the quenching level. Flesh cultivation once again gained the upper hand.
Now, his current cultivation is also extremely amazing, his mental cultivation has reached the late stage of divine life, and his physical cultivation has even crossed the quenching level, reaching an indescribable realm. It was only because the Mind World had been injured too much that it was difficult to improve the Mind Cultivation that he was unable to advance to the Qi Cultivation Rank.
Rao is like this, relying on the strength of his physical cultivation, the sharpness of his sword qi, the miraculous effect of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Righteousness, and the magic of breaking the jade and returning to the original formula, not to mention the younger generation of disciples, even the master of the previous generation like Meng Tianjiao, in front of him, he can only bow his head and admit defeat.
