Volume 1 The Rise of the Kunlun Mountains Chapter 6 What is Cultivation?
Above the sky, thunder roared, like an ancient giant god roaring, and black lightning pierced the sky, scorching every inch of space.
This is a divine thunder with destructive power, its color is colorful, the brilliance shines in the blue sky, and it falls on the back mountain of Qingyao Peak, and the entire forest is instantly reduced to scorched earth.
The eight sects of Kunlun were all shocked, all the disciples were terrified, and some elders floated in the void, looking at Qingyao Peak from a distance, their faces were shocked. Even many sects in the Western Regions were alarmed, and the big names probed with their divine senses to find out what was going on.
"Is this the birth of a divine body?, is there another amazing genius in Kunlun?" an old man speculated in the Jade Void Gate in the southern part of the Western Regions.
"No, the birth of the god body causes the colorful real thunder, this god thunder has seven colors, and the brilliance is all over the sky, unlike the birth of the god body. The other old man looked at Kunlun from afar and shook his head.
"Could it be that he is still above the divine body?"
"I don't know, it may also be the vision of heaven and earth caused by the Kunlun faction's training into a divine soldier......"
In the back mountain forest, Li Yunchen looked at his body and was dumbfounded. The golden Buddha text is circling, and there is a Buddha mark looming on the top of his head, like a Buddha, and at the same time, there are also colorful streamers in his body overflowing outward, intertwined with the Buddha text.
Just when Li Yunchen was amazed, another divine thunder struck. This time, the divine thunder directly aimed at Li Yunchen and slashed at him. Regarding the horror of the divine thunder, Li Yunchen had just seen it, and immediately stepped back to dodge, but his movements were still a step slower, and he was beaten squarely.
A burst of soreness and numbness swept through the body, followed by a sharp pain, but the strange thing was that this divine thunder, which could split even the mountain peaks in half, hit Li Yunchen's body but could not cause any damage.
Li Yunchen shook his numb arm and pinched his face again, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, he couldn't believe that he could still be unscathed after being hit by such a terrifying divine thunderbolt.
"Click!
A few more divine thunderbolts struck, Li Yunchen didn't care about his doubts, and hurriedly dodged, although it was not fatal to be hit, but the pain was unbearable and unbearable. He fled around the mountains and forests, and the divine thunder chased after him, and even the surrounding rocks and giant trees were affected and turned into thunder ashes.
Similarly, when Li Yunchen passed by the side of the man in blue, a divine thunder struck crookedly and slashed at the eight-headed snake, and the snake's body suddenly became charcoal, and the thousand-year-old snake spirit that even the Beast King was invincible to the Heavenly Tiger was killed in an instant. Fortunately, the man in blue was wrapped in a snake body and was not injured by the power of divine thunder, otherwise he would have been wiped out.
Fortunately, this thunderstorm did not last very long, and after a while, the divine thunder faded away, and the sky gradually returned to its original state, which also cut off the way for those who wanted to find out.
Li Yunchen, who collapsed, fell to the ground tired, panting heavily, as if he hadn't recovered from the fright, he was hit by the divine thunder several times, and his body was numb and stiff.
"I thought I would hate this, but I didn't expect that the endless road of heaven and earth could be rescued in this deep mountain!" The giant snake was dead, and the man in blue was also able to escape, jumping out of the snake's body, he walked towards Li Yunchen, hugged his fists and thanked: "Fu Shi in the Golden Bow Mansion in Xianai, thank you brother Tai for coming to the rescue!"
Li Yunchen sat up when he heard the sound, looked at the man in blue in front of him, and then looked at the eight-headed snake that had become a mass of charcoal, and immediately understood what was going on. Although saving people was only an unintentional move, Li Yunchen still waved his hand and said: "It's just a small help, it's not enough to worry about it, brother Tai doesn't need to say thank you." ”
Fu Shi said: "Then how to do it, my father has always taught that the grace of dripping water must be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention this life-saving grace." In this way, you go with me to the Golden Bow Mansion, and I will thank you very much!"
"Golden Bow Mansion, what is that place?" Li Yunchen frowned.
"The Golden Bow Mansion is one of the many sects in Kunlun, which belongs to the Qionghua sect, and its status is second only to the eight sects of Kunlun, and it is also well-known in the Western Regions. Fu Shi's tone was a little proud.
"Forget it. Li Yunchen was still a little interested in the Golden Bow Mansion, but as soon as he heard that he had something to do with Kunlun, he immediately changed his mind, "It's not early, I have to rush back." Li Yunchen stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait. Fu Shi stopped Li Yunchen, "I just investigated, and found that Brother Tai Tribulation Pill was just beginning, and the breath in his body was not very stable, so he must have been crossing the Tribulation just now, so he descended the Heavenly Tribulation and slashed the Divine Thunder." ”
Li Yunchen was deeply puzzled by what Fu Shi said, he had never cultivated, how could he say that he had crossed the tribulation? However, he probed his body with his divine sense, and was surprised to find that there was indeed a golden pill in the dantian, and he could also clearly feel that his aura had become stronger, which was different from before.
Could it be that it was because of the Virtuous Tribulation Sutra? Li Yunchen thought about it and felt that this was the only possibility. Unexpectedly, a Buddhist scripture that he stumbled upon made him step into the path of cultivation by mistake, which also explains why he was able to survive being struck by divine thunder.
Fu Shi continued: "I have seen too many ordinary people crossing the tribulation, but none of them are as earth-shattering as Brother Tai, and the divine thunder descended by the Divine Body Tribulation is only colorful, while Brother Tai's is colorful, and the power is terrifying, I think your physique is extraordinary, if you cultivate it well, you will become a great weapon! It just so happens that my father has a good relationship with Qionghua Zhangjiao, I will let him introduce you to worship Qionghua to learn art, which can be regarded as repaying the grace of saving your life." ”
"No need!" Li Yunchen immediately refused, "Brother Fu has good intentions, but I'm used to being free and casual, and I'm not suitable for the kind of formal Dao cultivation in Kunlun." Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have any earth-shattering physique. ”
"Well, since Brother Tai insists on this, then I don't force it. Fu Shi sighed, a little regretful, "Then make a friend, I don't know my brother's surname." ”
"Under the surname Li, the name is Yunchen. After learning that he had accidentally stepped into cultivation, Li Yunchen became interested in cultivation, and he was no longer in a hurry to rush back, so he said: "Just now I saw Brother Fu use his technique to kill the Heavenly Tiger, presumably his cultivation is not low, and I have just come into contact with it, and I don't know anything about cultivation, I don't know if Brother Fu can give me some advice." ”
"What? You don't know how to cultivate? Then how did you open up the Tribulation Pill and trigger the Heavenly Tribulation?" Fu Shi felt strange, if a mortal didn't understand the method of cultivation, and there was no good teacher to teach him to solve his doubts, it would be impossible for him to cultivate the Tribulation Pill and step into cultivation.
Li Yunchen said: "It's not a secret, I memorized the next Buddhist scripture by chance, and after a little enlightenment, I accidentally cultivated the robbery pill." ”
"Buddhist scriptures?" Fu Shi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Could it be...... The Virtuous Tribulation?"
"How do you know?" Li Yunchen exclaimed.
Fu Shi said with a smile: "Although I am in Kunlun and have studied Taoism since I was a child, I also have a certain understanding of Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist scriptures in the house. This Sutra of Virtuous Tribulation is a strange sutra of Buddhism, how could I not know, and it is also the supreme method of cultivation, but because of its own mysteries and difficulties, very few people can understand it. Human life is rare, the Tao is difficult to value, and the Buddha is rare to meet, so it is difficult to know, I can't imagine that Brother Yunchen has such an adventure, it seems that the Buddha is not shallow. ”
Li Yunchen said: "There are many Buddhist scriptures, and it is not only the Virtuous Tribulation Sutra that can be used as a method of cultivation, why can Brother Fu say it in one sentence?"
Fu Shidao: "Brother Yunchen doesn't know, the origins of Buddhism and Taoism are different, and the cultivation concepts are very different, so the cultivation methods are also different. For Buddhism, the path of cultivation must first cross the virtuous tribulation, become a tribulation, open the sea of suffering, and go through the hardships of life before it can be successful. This calamity is the first calamity, and it is also the current tribulation of the living tribulation that must be cultivated, only by crossing this tribulation, can you step into the path of cultivation, and the virtuous tribulation sutra is the cultivation method of the tribulation realm, only this sutra can help you survive the calamity and open up the tribulation pill. ”
Fu Shi said the truth, but Li Yunchen heard it in a fog, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what is the Tribulation Realm?"
Fu Shidao: "In the Buddhist concept, the virtuous tribulation is the first of ten thousand tribulations. The Tribulation Realm is a great tribulation of life, during which it includes the tribulation of virtue, the triple tribulation of heaven, earth and man, a total of four tribulations. And the so-called three tribulations of heaven, earth and man are also the heavenly thunder tribulation, the earth fire tribulation and the heart demon tribulation. This is the first realm of cultivation. ”
Li Yunchen nodded, as if he understood.
Fu Shi said again: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." As far as Taoism is concerned, the counterpart to the Tribulation Realm is the Hearing Dao Realm, where the main cultivation is to refine the qi, divide the Dan, accept the spirit, and return to the truth. Although the cultivation systems of the two are completely different, there are still commonalities in tracing their essence. In my opinion, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, the ruler is short and long, if you can double cultivate, learn from each other's strengths, you will be able to make a breakthrough in cultivation, but I am not enough to understand, although I am familiar with many Buddhist scriptures, but the enlightenment is only a little skin, can not integrate the two. ”
After hearing this, Li Yunchen realized a little, and felt that it was a blessing to make friends with Fu Shi, this person has a unique view of the way of cultivation, and he will be able to avoid detours on the road of cultivation in the future.
At this point, he also let go of his prejudice against Fu Shi as a disciple of Kunlun, and asked: "Since the Virtuous Tribulation Sutra is a Buddhist Sutra, and it is also a cultivation method for the Tribulation Realm, as long as I comprehend more, the cultivation path will be unimpeded?"
Fu Shidao: "No, there are many factors that affect cultivation, and sometimes people in the same realm have a big difference in strength. However, good cultivation exercises are one of the two most important points, and the other is the cultivation of physical fitness. ”
"Oh, this difference in physique still has an impact on cultivation?"
"Of course. Generally speaking, among the many physiques, the divine body is the strongest, and the mortal body is the lowest. A hundred years ago, Kunlun Qionghua sent a god body, who broke through the Wendao realm at the age of ten, and had no rival among his peers. And the mortal body has always been abandoned, because it cannot be cultivated, even if it is assisted by the best exercises, it is useless. ”
"Can't cultivate?" Li Yunchen was stunned and said, "A person who is born with a mortal body, isn't it true that he has no chance of cultivating in this life?"
Fu Shi said with a smile: "There is no absoluteness in everything, and this physique is not unchangeable, but it is extremely difficult." Brother Yunchen don't have to worry, your physique is definitely not simple, the colorful divine thunder caused by the previous tribulation is not even as good as the divine body, maybe it is still some kind of legendary physique above the divine body, plus the Virtuous Tribulation Sutra, this Buddhist scripture, Brother Yunchen's cultivation path can be described as bright!"
Li Yunchen smiled and said, "Brother Fu, don't make fun of me, I'm just an ordinary man, it's already an adventure to be able to get the Virtuous Tribulation Sutra, how can I have an amazing physique." ”
"How can an ordinary physique cause such a terrible catastrophe, if Brother Yunchen doesn't believe it, let me investigate. After speaking, Fu Shi sacrificed his divine sense, and a spiritual light flashed, submerging into Li Yunchen's body.
However, after perceiving it, Fu Shi's expression changed greatly, and the smile on his face was replaced by a confused color.
"How could it be, how could it be...... Mortal!"
