Chapter 18: On the Word
White Cliff sat in the starry sky, surrounded by brilliant stars. It's just that this starry sky is different from ordinary starry sky, and there are countless transparent flocculent pipe networks connected between the stars.
Occasionally, these flocculent pipes suddenly flare up to create a dazzling electric light, and as the lightning flickers and moves, the stars connected at both ends of the silk thread emit light and heat, creating a slowly rotating cloud-like vortex inside.
The generation of electric light and vortex does not show any pattern on the outside, but it always brings a familiar induction to Baiya.
This is a phenomenon that occurred in the sea of consciousness when he accidentally held the statue of an arhat in his hand after entering the qi realm, when he was sitting on a stake with the Vajra mudra.
At first, White Cliff didn't know what this phenomenon meant. But slowly, he finally realized that this vast star and the flocculent network connected to it were actually the acupuncture points and tendons in his body.
After countless verifications, Bai Ya found that whenever the flocculent pipes, that is, the tendons, lit up with electric light, the stars representing the acupuncture points must produce cloud-like vortices. At the same time, the body part he corresponds to is also in motion.
From this, Bai Ya realized that this was the Arhat statue showing him the dynamic changes inside his body in a microscopic way.
So far, he has not been able to control such microscopic dynamics, and can only observe them from the perspective of a bystander.
However, Bai Ya is not unable to do anything, and when he began to imagine the Arhat's martial arts performance based on the observation recorded in the Arhat statue, he found that there were five areas in the starry sky that would fluctuate violently.
Electric pythons are produced in the flocculent ducts one after another, and at the same time, the cloud-like vortices at the acupuncture points are stimulated to rotate and accelerate, emitting more light and heat.
This light and heat expands the flocculent ducts and acupuncture points in these five areas, making them tough and unobstructed. The flocculent pipes in these parts become more and more clear and transparent, like glass crystals, while the star acupuncture points will gradually become warm and smooth, like the pearl of the night.
He knew that this was the result of cultivation, and in the preface to the general outline of the statue of the Arhat who descended the dragon and subdued the tiger, this phenomenon was explained, which was called the glazed vein and the Bodhi acupoint.
White Cliff now only cultivates the thirty-two forms of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, and this phenomenon will appear in the tendons and acupuncture points. When he doesn't cultivate, the tendons and acupuncture points have also become glazed Bodhi, then it is equivalent to practicing a crippled glazed Bodhi Dharma body.
The reason why it is said to be incomplete is because it only involves tendons and acupuncture points, and does not cultivate to the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs.
The martial arts cultivation of Buddhism is not the same system as the Daomen!
The Daomen pays attention to refining qi and forging the body, and cultivating the inner and outer Dan methods, in order to finally achieve the primordial spirit and transform into a baby, and set foot on the Golden Immortal Road. Among them, the flesh is just a container for the primordial baby, and it is not too important.
As long as the Yuan Shen or Yuan Ying is still there, the container does not have to use its own flesh mortal fetus, even bamboo shoots and lotus roots.
Buddhism is different, physical cultivation is extremely important, it is the key to attaining the Tao, and it is called the Dharma body. Buddhism martial arts cultivation to the extreme, the whole body is an iron plate, water and fire do not invade, and the five poisons are not damaged.
However, it is precisely because the entire body has been cultivated to an iron plate that the Qi refining method of the Daomen Luck Acupoint is useless, the Qi veins are blocked, and the internal Qi can only go through the tendons and veins of the body.
Just like the iron cloth shirt of Baiya, this kung fu originally belonged to the Buddhist martial arts, and when you practice to the peak, you can cultivate into the incorruptible body of King Kong. But after mixing into Daomen Qigong, it has a defect, because the body is no longer monolithic.
Buddhism martial arts and Taoist martial arts have their own characteristics, Buddhism because of the practice to the end, the body is the strongest weapon, so the most representative Shaolin seventy-two stunts, most of them are fists and feet and internal and external hard skills, equipment martial arts are relatively few.
The characteristics of these martial arts are mainly based on the true qi of the ontological self, and there is less connection to the external vitality, and it is difficult for sword martial arts to exert their power.
The Dao Gate is mainly based on refining qi martial arts, and after the formation of qi veins, it communicates smoothly with the external vitality, so the instrumental martial arts can maximize the lethality, and can use various talismans, magic circles and magic weapons.
Venerable Mogal is a great master who integrates the two martial arts of Buddhism and Taoism, and his 32 styles of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger also have the characteristics of both Buddhist and Taoist martial arts.
The glazed veins and Bodhi points formed by its cultivation are the incomplete Dharma bodies that belong to the Buddhism, but they do not involve other aspects of the physical body, so they do not hinder the formation of qi veins.
From the two-pronged approach of the qi veins and the tendon veins, the internal qi channel is expanded and stabilized to the greatest extent, making this external master palm method extremely powerful.
Bai Ya's luck was very good, this Thirty-two Styles of Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger had to reach the innate stage before he could use the spiritual vision state of mind to open the Relic Dharma Body and obtain the general cultivation outline contained in it.
But he swallowed his own Yuan Ling Pill, obtained the general outline of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts in advance, and because of the relationship between the relics and the phantom, he entered it early.
Although this dragon and tiger palm method has entered the actual combat realm of "entering the hall", it is still far away, but he can start exercising the glazed veins and Bodhi points in the five major body regions in advance.
The glazed veins and Bodhi points corresponding to these five body regions, Bai Ya has slowly figured it out against the Arhat statue during this time.
They correspond to the three yin meridians of the hand, the three meridians of the hand Taiyin lung meridian, the hand yin pericardial meridian, the hand shaoyin heart meridian, and the two strange veins of the yin and yang dimension. There are dozens of acupuncture points passed by the three horizontal, two vertical and five tendon veins, faintly surrounding the middle dantian on the chest - Jizhong acupoint.
As the contemplation slowly settled, the green dragon, the white tiger, and the good and evil arhats appeared in this fleshly starry sky respectively.
After Bai Ya introduced this exercise, he realized how naïve his previous ideas were. The so-called finding some bees to simulate the bite of the green dragon and the white tiger, and comparing the Buddha light with the stove will not work.
The pain and tingling caused by the bite of the green dragon and the white tiger do not flow from the surface of the body, but from the depths of the muscles and bones, and the same is true of the golden Buddha light produced by the two arhats, good and evil, where can be simulated by bees and stoves.
After settling for a while, Bai Ya's consciousness slowly blurred, and he remained half-asleep and half-awake.
However, according to the usual rule, he would wake up after two hours and then lie down again and fall asleep. After the Vajra Mahamudra was modified by the Yuanming Zen Master, it could no longer completely replace sleep.
......
"Is there a problem with cultivation lately?" Liu Yu looked at Bai Ya expressionlessly.
This kid spread rumors a week ago that he was his illegitimate son, but he didn't hold back his anger for a while, and the rumors spread throughout Jianzhi Peak.
Liu Yu had already knocked on Baiya, but he had already forgotten about it, thinking that with Xuan Ji's help to explain, it would always be clarified. As a result, the rumors continued to ferment, and there were actually two brothers and sisters running from other peaks to laugh at him.
Only then did he know that "rumors stop at the wise" was a fart, and he had to come forward to clarify it in person, which made him lose face.
"It's okay!" Bai Ya didn't know what medicine was buried in Liu Yu's gourd, so he glanced at him cautiously.
"It's been more than three months since you went up the mountain, maybe it's time to pass on a new martial art to you!" Liu Yu sighed and said slowly.
"Master, didn't you say that I have practiced enough martial arts now, and if I practice new martial arts, will I be greedy and chew too much!" Bai Ya asked suspiciously.
"Do you know why today's martial arts are called martial arts?" Liu Yu didn't answer his question, just squinted his eyes and asked rhetorically.
"The credits of immortal martial arts are merit and Taoism, and the acquired martial arts practice gong, and the martial arts are the first to see the Tao when the gong reaches the extreme!" Bai Ya recalled what Wang Peng said before, and immediately copied it.
"Yes, that's the truth!" Liu Yu was surprised, glanced at him, and then said, "Yun Dao in martial arts is martial arts, but there is also a superficial saying in martial arts, which is more suitable for you Qi realm martial artists!"
"Oh?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows, he really didn't understand what Yundao Yuwu was now, it was too mysterious, and it was difficult to understand without touching that layer.
"There are some low-level martial artists who think that martial arts is to integrate all their martial arts into one and form a path, which is called martial arts. Liu Yu said with a light smile, "This statement is only superficial and wrong, but it has great guiding significance for martial artists with aura and artistic conception!"
"Do you know why some martial artists are talented, but after only a few years in Qingcheng Mountain, they cut off the path of martial arts and had to go down the mountain to enter the WTO?" Liu Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked with some emotion.
"It's because they can't withstand the temptation and practice too many martial arts, causing them to be greedy and can't chew too much, right?" Bai Ya suddenly remembered Feng Yang.
"You're only half right!" Liu Yu shook his head and smiled, "Martial arts are the same as books, the more the merrier, how can you cut off the path of martial arts just because you practice too much?"
"It's not that they practice too much martial arts, but that they don't choose the right martial arts!" Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, "You must remember in the future, it doesn't matter how much you practice martial arts, but everyone can only have one kind of martial arts! Some people are domineering, some people are benevolent, and each kind of martial arts will actually reflect the specific concept of the founder......"
I see! Bai Ya has somewhat understood, domineering and benevolence are incompatible, and they may be able to assist each other in specific matters, but the concept must not be confused.
For example: Cao Cao and Liu Bei, one is "Rather teach me to bear the world, don't teach the world to bear me", and the other is on the way to escape, his wife and children must not be wanted, but he must bring the people.
These two people may have been domineering and benevolent in specific matters, but their concepts are clear and clear, and they will never be confused. Imagine if Liu Bei also had the idea of "I'd rather teach me to bear the world, don't teach the world to bear me" in his head, would there still be so many people following him?
Everyone has their own ideas and styles, if the two concepts are very different, and you have to go with the mud, it can only be high or low.
"Take you as an example, most of the martial arts you are learning now are simple moves, and your strength is mainly strong. If you have to learn that kind of twisting and pinching, extremely fancy fist and foot martial arts, it won't take five years, and you will cut off the road of martial arts!" Liu Yu said with a solemn face.
Bai Ya listened to this, thought for a while, and asked, "Master, is this phenomenon limited to Qi Realm and Artistic Conception Martial Artists?"
"Well, it should be said that low-level martial artists are the most serious!" Liu Yu replied with a smile, "High-level martial artists also have obstacles, but their martial arts path has been solidified, so even if the martial arts they have learned do not match their own martial arts, they can forcibly reverse it and turn it into their own style!"
Bai Ya understood that this was the same as Chinese ink painting and Western oil painting, both of which could paint the same scene, but in very different forms.
