Volume 1 Two Years of Foundation Building Chapter 29 Practicing the Six Paths

After the apprentice bows to the master, the master will return the gift to the apprentice.

The Array Foundation Daoist took out a long sword from the storage bag and said, "Originally, this was meant to be given to you, but I read that your cultivation is still shallow, so I will put it in the teacher's place for the time being, and I will give it to you after your cultivation reaches the fourth level of qi refining." ”

Yan Yue saw that there was hidden spiritual power on this long sword, and knew that this was not a mortal weapon, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Mu Feng saw Yan Yue looking at the long sword with blank eyes, and sent a message to Yan Yue: "This is a spiritual weapon long sword, Master doesn't give it to you now, it's for your own good, you are not able to protect it now." ”

Hearing the words, Yan Yue remembered the scene when Cao Lin and others snatched Wang Popi's hat that day, so he cut off the delusions in his heart first. If you don't have enough strength, you won't be qualified to have a spiritual weapon!

The Formation Foundation Daoist looked at the changes in Yan Yue's eyes such as greed, clarity, and firmness, and nodded slightly, "Next, your senior brother will explain the rules of the sect to you." ”

Mu Feng took a step forward and said: "My generation of monks, we must always remember the four words 'respect for the teacher' in our hearts, and the 'teacher' of respecting the teacher refers to the ancestor of cultivation, Emperor Yan, who is the common ancestor of all monks in the world, and my generation of monks must not have any words and deeds that deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors." The 'way' of the heavy path refers to the way of cultivation, and before learning the way of practice, one should first understand the way of being a person. ”

Then, Mu Feng talked about the way of being a person.

The content of what he said was roughly similar to that of the old master in the private school of Dashu Village, which was similar to the way of being a man, probably because of the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, wisdom, courtesy, faithfulness and courage, not killing each other, promiscuity and banditry, and so on.

Yan Yue listened to it, but he had his own opinions, he had his own rules of life, and knew what to do and what not to do. What he agrees with, he has to do whatever he says, and what he doesn't agree with, no matter what others say, it's useless.

But because he had to abide by the rules of the teacher, he wrote down these ways of being a person one by one.

These ways of being a human being are also the precepts of the master under the Formation Foundation Daoist, and after Mu Feng finished reading it, the Formation Foundation Daoist tested Yan Yue and asked him to repeat it again.

Yan Yue has a good memory, and roughly retold the meaning of these contents.

The people of the Formation Foundation Dao were very satisfied, but they blamed Yan Yue for not completely memorizing it, and explained a few vague things about Yan Yue.

After he finished speaking, he asked Mu Feng to continue to explain the path of cultivation.

This is also a test of Mu Feng, Mu Feng said: "The way of cultivation, summed up a total of six ways, the six ways of practice are: clear ambition and enterprising, patience and quietness, forgetting the dust, to be false and truthful, to reach the mind at ease, and to follow the heart." These six realms will be of great benefit to your future cultivation, and you should keep these 24 words in mind. ”

Yan Yue heard that this cultivation of the Six Paths was of great benefit to cultivation, so he hurriedly gathered his mind and memorized these twenty-four words.

Mu Feng began to explain each one in detail from the beginning to the back.

"First of all, it is explained that those who are ambitious and enterprising, those who cultivate the truth, go against the sky, and when they first embark on the road of cultivating the truth, they must first clarify their aspirations. Only if there is ambition in the heart, can we move forward, if there is no ambition in the heart, then like a headless snake, can only wander in place.

But it's not enough to have great ambitions, you must also have an enterprising heart. Many people have lofty ambitions, but when they encounter resistance, they become decadent and depressed, and complain all day long.

The path of cultivating the truth is like sailing against the current, and only by bravely going up the rapids can you achieve your wishes.

Our generation of monks pay attention to the Tao and nature, and the so-called Tao is natural, that is, people imitate the earth, the earth imitates the heavens, the heavens imitate the Tao, and the Tao imitates nature. Man should obey the earth, the heavens, the way, and nature.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

The starry sky of the universe is still in motion, and people should follow the example of heaven and earth and keep moving forward!"

Yan Yue memorized it and comprehended the meaning of the words.

After Mu Feng finished remembering Yan Yue, he continued, "Let's talk about the patience of silence and silence." The path of cultivating the truth is unbearable, if you can't keep the loneliness, you can't bear the loneliness......"

Mu Feng added his own cultivation experience in the middle of the formation base, and he spoke in great detail, and after he finished speaking, it was already the beginning of night.

Yan Yue memorized every word, waiting for the master to take the test, but the Formation Foundation Daoist said: "It's getting late, you go down first, Yue'er, today, you will temporarily live in the empty room in your senior brother's courtyard." ”

Although Yan Yue has worshiped the foundation Dao as a teacher, in the Yunyang Sect, he is still a temporary disciple, and he needs to live with other temporary disciples, and only after reaching the fourth level of qi refining and becoming a formal disciple can he live in the courtyard of the same senior brother.

Yan Yue quit the house, and the Daoist of the Formation Foundation instructed Mu Feng a few words, and Mu Feng also walked out of the house.

"Enterprising, endure silence and keep quiet, forget the dust......" Yan Yue has been remembering the six ways of cultivation that Mu Feng said just now, and feels that just remembering it in his mind, there is always a time when the memory fades, and when he saw Mu Feng come out, he hurriedly asked him to borrow a pen and paper.

Mu Feng didn't know what Yan Yue was going to do, and seeing his anxious appearance, he didn't ask, and took him to his room, Yan Yue immediately lay down on the desk, and recorded the six paths of cultivation in his mind and their annotations one by one.

Halfway through the recording, Yan Yue suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to do something, but he couldn't remember anything for a while, so he put it down first. This coming and going has caused his memory to be confused, and Yu Wufan can't remember the last sentence of the dust.

Yan Yue skipped first, and recorded the other five things that were still in his mind, as well as their annotations. After the record was finished, I struggled to remember what I had forgotten.

Mu Feng saw that Yan Yue was so serious about what he explained, and he was very satisfied in his heart, and he kept looking at Yan Yue on the side.

Seeing that Yan Yue couldn't recall the fourth sentence, he slowly mentioned it: "The fourth way is to keep the truth to the void, and this is to talk about ......."

As soon as Mu Feng said that the truth was true, Yan Yue completely recalled it, and quickly wrote down the meaning of the void on the paper.

Mu Feng saw that he hadn't finished speaking, Yan Yue took a step ahead of him and wrote what he wanted to say, so he hurriedly said what Yan Yue hadn't written yet, "Keeping the truth means holding the truth and keeping the truth, and maintaining the original intention of cultivating the truth from beginning to end, and never forgetting the original intention, you have to always!"

After Yan Yue recorded all the six ways of cultivation, he thought that he had only recorded the content of the cultivation, but he had not written a word about the way of being a person, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In the eyes of the teacher, it is obvious that more attention is paid to the way of life.

Seeing Mu Feng watching from the side, he recalled the content of the way of being a man and made a record.

Mu Feng looked at Yan Yue's record, and suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, in my opinion, the reason why people who cultivate truth is to seek freedom is to be comfortable, if they are bound by these benevolence, morality, and secular etiquette, and do everything according to the rules, then ......."

At this point, he didn't say any more, thinking about something in a daze.

Yan Yue looked up at Mu Feng, and could faintly feel what his unfinished words were.

I thought to myself, no matter what is right or wrong, in short, I will act according to my own standards of conduct, and I can't be wrong.

Mu Feng said again: "Let me add one more thing, the way of being a person that I have comprehended is that in the cultivation realm, you should know how to judge the situation when dealing with people. ”

"Judging the situation does not refer to acting based on people's faces, but refers to thinking twice before acting, and seeing small profits will not achieve great things. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared if you think, and be prepared for danger, this is also the way to survive in the cultivation realm. ”

After Yan Yue listened to it, he had a feeling of enlightenment, and he felt that this sentence was more useful than the way of being a person, so he quickly wrote down this sentence word for word.

Then, take out the storage bag in your arms, fold the paper, and put it in the storage bag for later viewing.

Mu Feng warned Yan Yue again, "Whether it's the storage bag or the spirit stones inside, you don't want others to see it." Those few spirit stones, when you reach the qi refining period and have the true yuan in your body, you can use the true yuan to draw out the spiritual power in the spirit stones for absorption and utilization, or you can exchange them for wine and drink. ”

Speaking of the storage bag, Yan Yue thought of the gourd inside, and recalled the phrase 'be prepared for danger in times of peace' in his mind, but Yu Mufeng didn't pay much attention to what he said.

After Yan Yue finished recording, it was getting late, Mu Feng led Yan Yue to eat, and warned him earnestly along the way about how to behave in the sect in the future.

After reaching a certain stage of cultivation, the monk can open the valley. But in the Qi refining stage, three meals a day are still indispensable.

Under the sect of the Formation Foundation Daoren, there is a special dining room, and the disciples of the same sect gather together to eat.

"Senior brother, you're finally here, we're all hungry!" A dark-skinned young man looked at the door of the dining hall, and when he saw Mu Feng coming, he almost cried with joy, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Didn't I say that if I come late, can you eat first, look at you and you're hungry!" Mu Feng patted the young man on the top of his head and said with a smile.

"This can't be done, in my heart, you are the person I respect the most, unlike Ah Fu and Xiao Liu, who have already eaten and run away, senior brother, don't instruct them in spells in the future!"

The young man had a look of "Senior brother, you see that I have been waiting for you for so long, so you will instruct me a few more spells".

He saw Yan Yue beside Mu Feng and asked who Yan Yue was. After learning that Yan Yue was the newly recruited apprentice of Master from among the disciples who had just started today, he introduced himself: "I am your seventh senior brother, you can call me a rotten baby." ”

The disciples of each elder of the Yunyang Sect are in the same lineage, and the people of the same sect all eat together.

The three of them came to the dining hall, the hall was full of senior brothers waiting for Mu Feng's arrival, there were more than 100 people, and after they heard that the master had recruited a new disciple, they all looked around Yan Yue and enthusiastically introduced themselves.

These people are all cultivators above the fourth level of qi refining, Yan Yue was secretly frightened while greeting him.

Among the teachers, the elders are respected, and Mu Feng, who is the senior brother, has not arrived, except for a few naughty ones, the rest are all hungry, waiting for Mu Feng to arrive.

At this time, when it was finally time to eat, they devoured it one after another, and the table was suddenly in a mess.

The rotten baby sitting next to Yan Yue secretly sandwiched the food on Yan Yue's plate, and chatted with Yan Yue to distract Yan Yue, "Do you know, Master, he is an old man, he is over one hundred and fifty years old, and he has seen everything. Yunyangzi, the ancestor of our sect, has lived for more than 500 years and traveled all over Nanming. In the future, after I cultivate to perfection, I will also go outside Tiannan to have a look. ”

Yan Yue looked at the rotten baby, and stuffed the food on his plate into his mouth, not to be outdone, he grabbed a chopstick from the plate in front of the rotten baby, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The rotten baby was dumbfounded, "This junior brother is really fierce, hurry up and eat!"

Yan Yue's mouth was bulging, and when he chewed vigorously, he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten to do.
