Xiuwu lonely road 45 Laoshan old road

Suhai City is between Bianhai City and Jiangjing City, two important cities in Eastern Province, and is one of the rich production areas of beauty in Daqin. The manor of the Shen family is in this famous garden city, with lush greenery, hidden bridges and flowing water, pink walls and famous monuments.

Shen Youdao didn't come back after receiving the Shen family's invitation, but he was in retreat for half a year, and he just wanted to come out for a walk. When I got home, I found out that the family sent an order, hoping that the masters of the clan would help. Shen Youdao is a cultivator, and he doesn't care about the world, but since he is casually distracted, he has nothing to help the family.

One of the two powerhouses of the Jiajia family who joined with Wu Changkong had already determined that one was a high-level ninja, which was equivalent to the realm before the infinite entry but could never get started. Such a ninja can not only deal with the strong people in the early stage of skin refining, but also because ninjas are good at hiding and escaping, it is very troublesome. The other is a powerhouse at the level of a mid-level samurai, which is equivalent to the middle stage of skin refining. Although the two have been stared at, they have escaped several times without being caught. Now that the Wei family has also come to rob it, it is difficult to guard against the Wei family and catch the two of them. There is also news that other families in the underground world have also smelled the fishy smell and are ready to come. Those families who are not from the Eastern Province also don't know where to get the news, which is a bit strange.

These two people from the Jiajia family can be said to be the top masters of their family, and the death of one less force will be greatly damaged. But they still ventured to come to the Great Qin Kingdom, which shows that the value of what they got is extraordinary. I wanted to catch someone and I could know what it was. But now that people haven't caught it, they don't know what kind of treasure it is. There is another way, which is to find another party, Wu Changkong. And after investigation, it was found that Wu Changkong should be a member of the Wumeng.

The people of the Wumeng are not easy to use. There should be no shortage of money to join the Martial Arts League, and the investigation knows that he has made a sum of money himself. A self-proclaimed martial artist, only martial arts can impress him. But the paradox is that people in the martial arts are very insistent on themselves, and the martial arts experience that is not special and really makes him tempted can't say that it moves him. The sooner you know what the Sun Nation people are in their hands, you can be sure if you really want to go to war with other families for this.

When Shen Youdao appeared, everyone immediately felt that the Taoist priest said that he should be able to exchange content with him.

The master of the middle stage of the calcining bone can split a lot of surveillance into Wu Changkong's villa. Wu Changkong's little sister was not at home on the night shift, so when Wu Changkong returned home, he saw a Taoist priest sitting inside.

It's impossible not to be startled, but the warrior himself has a good psychological quality. Otherwise, how can you resist the infestation of demons?

"You're the same as ever, when I didn't exist. I'm here with no malice, otherwise you'd have dangerous instincts too. ”

"Tell me anything. ”

"I don't know if you've heard of Daowu?"

"I haven't heard of it. ”

"Since ancient times, many real Taoist priests have been martial artists, so they have a very long lifespan, and the mountain people don't know it, so they think that cultivation can live a long life. And the warriors believe that the Taoist priest does not take martial arts as the foundation, and does not recognize the Taoist priest as a martial artist, which is called the side door left way. ”

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"When many martial artists teach their apprentices, they tell their disciples that when they really can't suppress the demons, they can look at the Tao Te Ching, the Nanhua Sutra or the Heart Sutra, so that fame and fortune can be bland and transcendent, so as to understand and suppress the demons. These scriptures belong to the Taoist and Buddhist families. Wouldn't it be helpful if you could have a deeper understanding of martial arts?"

"You're not going to come out of the way to help me, are you? Say what you want to do. ”

"I wonder what you gave to the people of the Sun Country. How did you get it, and why did you give it to the people of the Sun Country. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"If you think it's simple, it's simple. ”

"It's an ancient leather book, and it's written in seal script. I checked it, and I guess it's called "Nine Palace Mantras". Wu Changkong had nothing to hide, and told him about the ninja of the Sun Country who he met in the mountains that day. It's just an excuse to go into the mountain because I want to go into the mountain to cultivate.

"So the people of the Sun Kingdom found an ancient tomb or burial site and dug up this ancient book. "The Mantra of the Nine Palaces"? It seems that there has been no record of this book in history? Have you read this book?"

"I flipped it over, but I couldn't read it. Not only are they all seal scripts, but I probably don't understand the grammar very well, so I didn't study them. ”

"It's a pity. Can you take me to where I was?"

"It happened by accident, and now I don't know which direction it is, and I can't find it back. ”

"Forget it, thank you for being honest. The Taoist priest thanked him.

"You're welcome. There's nothing I'm going to cook. Wu Changkong clenched his fists in return.

"Will you rest for a while after eating?" the Taoist priest guessed.

"Yes. ”

"I'm here waiting for you to rest, and I'll talk to you about martial arts. "The Taoist priest wants to return cause and effect.

"Whatever you want, you greet yourself. ”

After eating and resting, the Taoist priest began to preach martial arts with Wu Changkong. It turned out that the Taoist priest was a member of the Shen family, who had been a monk since childhood, and was called Shen Youdao, also known as the head of the Dao of the Moon.

Martial artists achieve longevity through the cultivation of martial arts, and perceive the ultimate in personal development through the power of martial arts.

Taoist priests and monks achieve the ultimate in personal development by cultivating their minds and understanding nature from them.

Their ultimate goal is actually the same, which is to enable people to transcend their own limitations and reach a higher state through cultivation. In today's parlance, it's evolution.

Martial arts itself is ** cultivation, so it can make people's bodies evolve, thereby increasing lifespan. Through the perception of the application of power, we can constantly use power to transform ourselves, continue to evolve, and finally reach the extreme.

Originally, the Tao and the Buddha were only cultivating the mind, spirit, consciousness, and soul. These words all mean more or less the same thing. However, epiphany is hard to come by, and there has not been a single one for tens of thousands of years. The occasional epiphany is like a drop in the ocean, and it cannot play a leapfrog role in the entire spiritual cultivation. Therefore, there is a problem, the cultivation has only achieved a little, and the body has aged and can only die with regret. Spiritual cultivation is very time-consuming, and often a meditation session can take more than half a day. Again, this is the result of a hunger interruption, otherwise it would have been longer.

The world doesn't know that if someone concentrates on one thing, they forget about hunger, and they think that meditation will forget hunger, which is impossible. Ordinary people, pay attention to ordinary people, concentrate on one thing and forget that hunger is because the hungry ** is replaced by something else** and temporarily give up stimulating the human body. It is to concentrate on the **fight against hunger** to occupy the human body and control the human body. The current narrative of hunger is only temporarily blocked, but the fact that hunger still exists and harms the body cannot be changed at all. And meditation is originally a solution, so it will be affected by the body being hurt by hunger. The body cannot relax, and it is natural that it cannot continue to meditate.

There is a possibility that meditation can forget about hunger, but that's not meditation, that's enchantment. The subconscious mind thinks that he does not need to eat, and the subconscious mind thinks that he has the exercises, but in fact it is just a hint to hypnotize himself. What prevents one's nerves from receiving hunger stimuli creates another illusion for one's brain. Also known as hallucinations, illusions. There used to be a lot of qigong in the Great Qin Kingdom, and there were also meetings to practice collectively, and some people even felt qi in a month. It's an illusion.

In order to solve this problem of hunger and longevity, Buddhist practitioners also chose to cultivate martial arts at the same time. Because Buddhist cultivators themselves have strong spiritual consciousness cultivation, they can suppress the ** inner demon in terms of positive power.

Martial artists purely rely on the unwavering belief in cultivating martial arts to suppress their inner demons, and exercise their will by cultivating martial arts. Therefore, it is very difficult, and many of them become strong or go crazy and die. However, because of the difficulty, the power obtained is also large, and the mastery and application of power is stronger than that of Daowu.

No one wants to give up halfway, and gradually many warriors began to read Buddhist scriptures to help stabilize their minds and wills. This part of the people is considered by pure martial artists to be the left way, and they are called Daowu.

In fact, everyone has the same goal. For example, why do Buddhists shave their heads? It is to save time, save the trouble of taking care of the hair, and in the world's words, laziness.

Isn't Wu Changkong also short-haired? It seems that Wu Changkong knows not many martial artists, oh, there are not many, and the men all have ultra-short hairstyles.

Yes, but why do Taoist priests have long hair?

Long hair is also known as three thousand troubles. Not keeping your hair is a manifestation of concentrating on your cultivation, and keeping long hair is a way of cultivating. The longer the hair, the harder it is to take care of it, and combing your hair is a practice.

Chopping hair is like a blockage in water, but it is easy to sparse and not easy to block. The Tao is natural, and hair troubles are also natural because of their existence. The troubles and demons are always there, the martial arts are strong suppression, and the Taoism is naturally separated. So when you take care of your hair, it's also a time to practice.

Cut, crooked. Wu Changkong disagrees with this, but the existence of troubled demons is a natural thing, which means that there is a reason for his existence. Since there are disturbing demons in all things, then they can never be eliminated. This is also in line with the rule that all things are equal.

The Taoist priest also explained his understanding of the three scriptures to Wu Changkong, and occasionally Wu Changkong also joined in the discussion.

In the end, Wu Changkong expressed his doubts: "This "Nine Palace Mantra" must be from Great Qin, and the Sun Kingdom has to pay such a big price to show that this book is a peerless treasure." I have translated a few sentences, as if they are also talking about cultivation. It's just that the cultivation is through the nine palaces corresponding to the nine characters. It is estimated that these nine characters are Lin, Bing, Dou, Tsk, Jie, True, Column, Front, and Hee. It is very similar to the nine-character mantra that is circulating now. It seems to be a book of cultivation methods. ”

"The martial arts of the Sun Kingdom are all passed down from the Great Qin Kingdom, and the ninja practice methods are also passed down from the Nine-Character Mantra and the Five Elements Exercises. This should be the reason why they are desperately trying to get it. ”

"Then does this "Nine Palaces Mantra" help us in our martial arts practice?"

"Small repairs may help, but they can't be huge. Anything that tries to take a shortcut will not be the right way. If we cultivate this, we are going astray. ”

After the Taoist priest left, Wu Changkong began to meditate and digest the insights gained from the conversation. Although there is an electronic version of the "Nine Palaces Mantra", Wu Changkong no longer intends to exchange it with Wu Meng. Wumeng must have been exchanged for Guoan, and Guoan actually made a hand in his own file. Although I don't know what the purpose is, if the Nine Palaces Mantra is a cultivation method, it should be something of long-term value. It's not like people can change, and it's not like doing things all at once. If Guoan gets it, it's too cheap for them.
