Chapter 116: Two Truncated Swords

At night, everyone in Huashan had rested, but Yu Yue Buqun wandered alone in the study. Today's breakthrough may be able to be simply surprised and happy for him by being close to everyone, but he himself can't be stupidly happy. In particular, after he dissolved his demonic thoughts and restored the clarity of his Dao heart, he faintly felt that the [essence and spirit] of his entire person had grown "in a circle", his ears and eyes were certainly much smarter, his thinking was becoming more agile, and his spiritual sense was more subtle......

The light on the table was like a bean, Yue Buqun slowly approached, spread out the rice paper, dipped the pen in thick ink, and wrote down four big letters: Yin and Yang combined.

He originally thought that the [Yin and Yang Combination], what [Yang Electrode Yin Birth, Creation and Nature], what [Color and Color Emptiness, All Laws and Void Phases], and what [Movement and Stillness, Yin and Yang Change] mentioned in many secret books were all about the mystical program of cultivating true qi, which was to polish one's own true qi, make yin and yang harmonious, and combine rigidity and softness, so as to get a glimpse of the innate way......

But now, it seems that the innate path does not seem to have much to do with the changes of yin and yang, rigidity and softness of true qi, but seems to be closely related to the strength of people's flesh * body * essence and spiritual soul. The [Yin and Yang] and [Color Emptiness] in the secret book certainly involve the changes in the nature of cultivating true qi, but more should be a metaphor for people's spiritual thoughts and essence energy as each other's internal and external aspects, each other's yin and yang, and each other's virtual reality. In between, the two will maintain a potential, subtle dynamic equilibrium range, once one of them suddenly increases or decreases, through the mutual yin and yang, virtual and real transformation, the other will inevitably increase or decrease sharply, at most slightly decreased. The sudden increase in the body's essence will make people feel that the body is strong, the strength is greatly increased, and there will even be a slight sense of swelling and pain, and the sudden increase in spiritual thoughts will make people think faster and increase their confidence unconsciously, and even their minds involuntarily want to think about the west, and the thoughts are like wild horses that have taken off the leash. On the contrary, the sudden weakening of the body's essence will make people feel weak and weak, while the sudden weakening of the mental mind will make people unconsciously slow in thinking, have low self-esteem and fear, and even worse, they will be confused, empty and stupid.

Yue Buqun completely broke through to the ninth layer of the Mixed Yuan Gong today, and under the surge of purple qi, his spiritual power also increased a lot unconsciously, so that he could look up to the sky and roar at the same time, his thoughts turned sharply and fantasized again and again...... If he fails to stop his illusions in time and rein in his mind, he will inevitably become more and more manic and obsessed, and eventually his distracting thoughts, demonic thoughts, and obsessions will be mixed and unique, deeply rooted, and it will be difficult to extricate himself. Fortunately, he attaches great importance to the cultivation of the mind on weekdays, the mind is sensitive, every time after the fight, he will adjust the mood with the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., and cultivate the sentiment, although his own demonic thoughts and anger are more and more pure and secluded, and the latent is deeper and more hidden, but the number is not too much after all.

It can be seen that the subtle spiritual realm can effectively regulate the dynamic balance interval of the body, body, essence and spiritual thoughts, that is, to reconcile yin and yang, and sort out the void and reality. In Taoism, this state of mind is the nature of the Tao and the law, the unity of heaven and man -- no desire and no action, harmony and unity with the nature of heaven and earth, so that miscellaneous thoughts and demonic thoughts are plain and scarce, and the waves are not prosperous; in the case of Buddhism, this state of mind is the emptiness of all laws, bright and peaceful -- not attached to all kinds of things, the heart has its own great joy and purity, not stained with dust, not moved by demonic thoughts; in Confucianism, this state of mind is the human heart is only in danger, the Tao heart is only slight, but the essence is the only one, allowing attachment to the middle - Be prepared for danger, firm beliefs, sincerity, be cautious in doing things, walk on thin ice, like facing the abyss, and naturally will not be mistaken by delusions and illusions.

Yue Buqun has understood a lot, and even guessed that if you want to advance to the innate nature, the most direct thing is to achieve the unity of heaven and man, and the mysterious state of mind of heaven is my heart, and you will naturally be in line with the spirit of heaven and earth, and step into the innate nature; Yuan Qi achieves innate true qi, and then strengthens the spiritual mind, touches the innate primordial spirit, communicates the innate aura, and carries out a higher level of cultivation.

These three methods, the first two are idealistic, biased towards the epiphany of one step to the sky, and the third one is down-to-earth, step by step, which belongs to gradual enlightenment, but the last critical moment also needs to be comprehended by chance. Of course, the so-called double cultivation of life can actually be seen as three methods go hand in hand, blended into one, once the opportunity comes, regardless of which method, you can immediately break through the innate and cultivate into great progress.

Nowadays, most of the Taoist practitioners hidden in the deep mountains are the double cultivation of life, and the three are one; the great virtuous monks study the Buddhist scriptures, participate in Zen and worship the Buddha, and transform their own hearts, and most of them are the first two in one; the laymen of Taoist temples such as Wudang, Huashan, Shaolin, and Wutai, Warrior monks, or learning the Tao and practicing martial arts, or participating in Zen and practicing martial arts, pay attention to the integration of martial arts or Zen and martial arts, and most of them are the latter two in one; erudite and Confucian cultivation of the mind, spread and educate, and go alone to the first; ordinary martial arts people practice internal and external martial arts, but they fight bravely and fiercely, only care about happiness and enmity, and they are not clear in the essence of martial arts, and they are basically ignorant and ignorant and go alone to the third party.

I have to say that Yue Buqun was very glad that he had the foresight to embark on the path of double cultivation of life at the beginning, not only did Zixia Divine Skill enter the realm quite quickly, but also laid an excellent foundation for breaking through the innate one.

Throughout the history of martial arts, it is possible to reach the innate or even higher realm of the strong, from Bodhidharma to Huangshang, from sweeping monks to Wang Chongyang, and even the last Zhang Sanfeng, it can be said that it is not a Buddha or a Tao, which is not a body to practice martial arts, meaning the essence of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and understanding the truth of heaven and earth...... Even if Dugu seeks defeat, it is still in the mountains and forests, friends with the eagle, and after conforming to nature, can the internal strength reach the realm and realize the essence of the "wooden sword".

On the contrary, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo were born in the two wild roads, and they obviously had poor qualifications and understanding, and they even practiced the Shaolin 72 stunts, but they didn't cultivate their minds, and they ended up being angry and crazy.

Of course, the most worthy of Yue Buqun's vigilance is Gu Mozhi. This guy was obviously born in Buddhism and is proficient in Buddhist scriptures and doctrines, but in the end, he is not much stronger than Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo. The reason for this is that from the appearance of this guy with bells and whistles, forcibly practicing seventy-two stunts by cheating, and who has to compete with Shaolin to show who is stronger, it can be seen that he is greedy, hateful, and ignorant, and has long lost his nature, and the essence of Buddhism, which should be used as a cultivation helper, was thrown into the house by him at the beginning......

The only difference is that Yue Buqun is quite self-aware, and does not want to practice all the martial arts in the world, but he has always regarded the Taoist Qingling natural realm as the ultimate heart nest and as a mirror of the soul, and regarded the red dust and mundane things as clouds and smoke, and regarded the conspiracy and battle as a tempering, and used it when needed, and erased it after the event, without stagnation in the heart...... Although he has obtained a lot of cheats, he can rationally stick to his original heart, focusing on the cultivation of the most fundamental mixed yuan skills and Zixia divine skills, and the rest of the martial arts are only used for reference, and have never been deeply cultivated; although the gold and silver treasures and BMW incense cars he has obtained are numerous, he has never gone out to "commit crimes" like Gu Mozhi, and he is still lively, blowing, blowing, and beating, slow and stupid, he only chooses the most practical and fastest; he will never fight to the death with others because he wants to be stronger than anyone's stunts, it is too boring, idle eggs hurt, life is so precious, how can it be cherished...... In Yue Buqun's view, Gu Mozhi has obviously put the cart before the horse, and the three views are not correct! Practice, practice...... Obviously, it is fundamentally to prolong life, peep into the mysteries of heaven and earth, steal the mysteries of creation, and even pursue longevity, keep young forever, and become immortals. For the sake of the courage and diligence of one's own cultivation, one may be able to take some risks and accept all kinds of training, but how can one fight to the death with the monks who make soy sauce for the sake of a little false fame?...... If you win, you can't become a bodhisattva or become a Buddha, and even the seventy-two stunts of the monks pressing the bottom of the box don't need to be grabbed again......

Seeing that the night was getting darker, Yue Buqun ended his admiration or contempt for his martial arts predecessors, blew out the oil lamp, and slept peacefully.

The next morning, when Yue Buqun returned from practicing in Chaoyangtai, he heard that the subordinates of Emei Jindingguan had sent him a gift......

"Master, this is me and the others inadvertently in the Emei Jinding Temple, oh no...... It was found in the dark under the Buddha statue in the Jindingguan Hall...... That's nitpicking, sharpening iron like clay......"

"Okay......" Yue Buqun casually interrupted the subordinate's invitation, holding the half-truncated sword in each hand and looking at it non-stop, with surprise in his eyes, he happily ordered: "Count it as your great merit...... Go to Elder Feng to receive the reward!" The two good men from the left side of the door went down happily, discussing in a whisper all the way whether this great achievement could be exchanged for a high-quality martial arts cheats.

Yue Buqun didn't care about those trivial matters, and repeatedly studied the blades of the two severed swords that had been hidden in the snow for nearly two hundred years but were still as clean as new, as well as the hollow sword spine with a broken blade. Suddenly, Yue Buqun put down half of the tip of the sword, and his free left hand was gently raised, and he was slightly lucky, and he sucked at the stainless steel long sword hanging on the wall outside Zhangyu.

Click...... Sonorous......

The scabbard shook, and the steel long sword seemed to be unsheathed by an invisible hand and flew into the air, cutting through a graceful arc, and falling lightly towards Yue Buqun's side.

Laugh at......

Yue Buqun swung the half-cut remnant sword in his right hand lightly at the falling steel long sword.

With a crisp sound, the steel long sword broke in two and fell to the ground. Yue Buqun couldn't help but praise: "The Heavenly Sword is really sharp, peerless......"

After a slight hesitation, he instructed the disciple and Dao Tong who was waiting on the side, "Go and find Elder Yu...... Let him summon all the senior blacksmiths under Huashan's command to wait in Huayin City!"

After the disciple took the order and left, Yue Buqun turned around and returned to the study with two pieces of Yitian Sword, and took out the sword of the head of Huashan that was broken in the last battle with Ren Wuxing. Comparing the blades of the two slightly, he held a half-cut Heavenly Sword in one hand and a half-cut Boss Sword in the other, and slashed hard.

After the crisp sound of ding, the half-cut head sword was not broken again, but when he took a closer look, he saw a sesame-sized gap on the blade of the half-cut head sword, and the half-cut Heavenly Sword was still as clean as new, undamaged, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

After thinking about it, Yue Buqun put down the broken sword, went to the desk and took out a small note, wrote a short message in a wolf seal, and then sent it through Jinyiwei's secret carrier pigeon.

Since you want to reforge the sword, you should find some precious materials. I heard that the palace has a lot of fine castings such as cold iron, black iron, meteorite iron, and Uzi steel...... Toto relationship, and spend a lot of money, those treasury eunuchs will fulfill any of your wishes......
