Song Daren was a teacher at the beginning, and when he saw Zhang Xiaofan holding his face with his hands, he was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but talk about it, and talked eloquently:

The cultivation process of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao is easy and difficult, most people in the first layer of the Yuqing Realm can be cultivated in the first year, but from the beginning of the future, the difficulties and difficulties will be revealed, the second level of ordinary people will have to practice for five years, and the third layer is a watershed, those with slightly inferior qualifications will stagnate here all their lives, and it is not uncommon for some to practice for fifty or sixty years.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth and stammered, Song Daren smiled slightly, and continued to speak.

The main practice method of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao is roughly taught at the third level, and in the future, it is more about the level of qualifications and self-cultivation. A teacher with advanced cultivation may give some advice, but that is only a matter of personal experience, so that the disciple will not take some detours. Of course, the so-called "detours" here are mostly measured in hundreds of years.

And those who have cultivated the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao to the fourth level of the Jade Qing Realm have the root of ten thousand laws, and they can start to practice other thaumaturgical magic methods and cultivate their own magic weapons at the same time. The magic weapon secret weapon has a long history, and most of the gods and gods in myths and legends have their own artifacts, which are extremely powerful. And in the human world, those who cultivate the true Tao and cultivate the Tao also have great power in controlling the creation of heaven and earth at the beginning. The small ones can fly in the sky and gallop in the wind, and the big ones can shake the sky and the earth, destroy the mountains and cut off the flow.

And the magic weapon material is also varied, strange, but there is one point, how the magic weapon material determines the power of the magic weapon after cultivation, if Fan Tie casts the "Divine Sword and Thunder True Technique", before attacking the enemy, the sword has become ashes with the master.

As for the Qingyun Sect, because the Qingye Patriarch got the ancient sword "Zhu Xian" in the "Phantom Moon Cave Mansion", the battle was rampant all over the world, almost invincible, and most of the younger generations admired it, most of them were cultivating immortal swords. A thousand years later, there have been many swordsmen, and it has almost become the unwritten rule of Qingyun Gate, even if it is necessary to change its name to Qingyun Sword School.

But speaking of which, it is not easy to mention the first Tian of Dazhu Peak, he himself is a sword cultivator, and the talisman "Red Spirit" is one of the famous swords in Qingyunmen, but he has no intention of encouraging them to cultivate fairy swords to the disciples under him, but he also often "instigates" everyone to practice some alternative magic weapons, which is quite criticized in Qingyunmen, but firstly, there is no such rule to say no, and secondly, it is not easy to come to Tian The disciples are mediocre and the number of people is small, and everyone can let him go.

Among the disciples of the Great Bamboo Peak, the senior brother Song Daren has the deepest cultivation, and has cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the fifth layer of the Yuqing Realm, followed by the fourth elder He Dazhi, who has cultivated to the fourth layer. Although his entry time is shorter than that of Wu Dayi and Zheng Dali, he is the smartest among the disciples, so he learns first and comes first.

As for the second Wu Dayi, the third Zheng Dali, the fifth Lu Daxin, The sixth Du Bishu, are struggling on the third layer of Yuqing Realm, but the little sister Tian Ling'er is very smart, since she was a child, her parents have been carefully taught, although she began to do bamboo cutting homework at the age of ten, but she has been practicing Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao for many years, at a young age, she actually practiced to the fourth layer of Yuqing Realm when she was thirteen years old, she can drive the magic weapon, is one of the famous early wisdom children in Qingyunmen, and is very favored by her parents and the care and care of the teachers, Su Ru even gave her the famous "Amber Zhu Aya" to her as a magic weapon for self-defense.

"Senior sister is so powerful!" Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Song Daren smiled and said: "Yes, the little junior sister is extremely intelligent, and she is more talented in cultivating the truth, what the master and the master pass on to her, as soon as she hears it, her qualifications are far better than those of us senior brothers, and now she is just shallow in cultivation, and the heat is insufficient. Da Zhufeng's vein has been carried forward, and it is all on her. ”

After all, his eyes were full of expectations, and he obviously loved this delicate and lovely little sister.

Then, Song Daren talked to Zhang Xiaofan about some points to pay attention to in the process of cultivation, and finally said: "Little junior brother, there is one last thing, I must tell you: the cultivation of this sect is important in gradual and down-to-earth. If you are greedy for merit, you are afraid that if you are not greedy enough, you will have a great disaster. Whether it succeeds or fails, it is fate, and there is no need to force it. Such as demons and demons, heresies, and dissatisfaction, most of them are punished by God, which is pitiful and pathetic. You have to be careful. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and hurriedly said: "Yes, senior brother, I know." ”

Song Daren nodded, stood up, and said, "Then let's do this first, the Taiji Cave is in the back mountain, and the disciples who have to cultivate the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the third level or more can enter and cultivate." Before that, you should practice in your own room. It's very quiet here, and the master and the lady don't usually come, so you worked your own. ”

Zhang Xiaofan stood up and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Song Daren smiled, patted his head, and turned to leave.

※※※※※

Zhang Xiaofan sent Song Daren away, turned back to the house, closed the door, and was indescribably excited, and even the fatigue of cutting bamboo in the morning did not know where to go.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, slowly walked to the bed, meditated according to the posture taught by Song Daren, closed his eyes, and thought about the method of the first layer of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao Jade Qingjing Realm taught by Song Daren from beginning to end in his heart, and was about to practice according to it, when suddenly his heart moved, he suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "It's not right!"

The first layer of the Jade Qing Realm taught to him by Song Daren was originally the most superficial and basic cultivation method in the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, and its function was only in two words: Qi training. Cultivators, sit quietly, let go of the mind and forbid all kinds of troubles, and lead the aura of heaven and earth into the body to carry out the operation of the Great Zhou Tian, so as to breathe with heaven and earth, and then comprehend the creation of heaven and earth. If you can introduce aura into your body for three consecutive weeks, your own meridians will be stable and you can cultivate to a higher realm.

This kind of practice method is a method that Taoism has been tempered for thousands of years, and there is no doubt about it, but at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart is like a storm, swaying non-stop. This qiē is because of what he has heard today, and it is diametrically opposed to the set of mantras and practices that the monk Puzhi passed on to him when he was rì.

On the night before the tragedy in Caomiao Village, when Pu Zhi passed on his mantra, he clearly told him that when cultivating the truth and refining qi, he must cut off his connection with the outside world and realize that he is self-sufficient, that is, the so-called: the emptiness of all laws, neither birth nor destruction, no dirt or purity, no increase or decrease, so there is no sè in the air, no desire to act and no knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no sè, sound, fragrance, taste, Touching the Dharma, there is no vision, even the unconscious realm, no ignorance, no end of ignorance, even no old death, no old age and death, no suffering, no wisdom and no gain. (Note: Uttering the Heart Sutra of Prajna)

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't understand such a difficult and dry truth at this time, but the two cultivation methods were fundamentally different, but he could distinguish them, and his heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he didn't know what to do.

In fact, Zhang Xiaofan didn't know that Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao is certainly the supreme magic method of Taoism, but Pu Zhi made great wishes on him and placed great expectations on him, and the set of mantras he passed on was also the supreme Dharma of Buddhism - Dafa Prajna.

Two kinds of practice, two completely different ways of practice, but we have to start from the roots.

Buddhism and Taoism have a long history, old and dead do not get along, and the art of cultivating truth also originated from its school of thought. Taking Taoism as an example, its main purpose lies in the word "Tao", the so-called: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. All things are negative yīn and embrace the yang, and the middle qi is harmonious. (Note: The words are from the fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching). Taoism originates from Taoist thought, and even the triple realm of Taiji Xuanqing Dao is also named after the Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun in Taoist mythology, which is commonly known as the "Three Qings". Taoism cultivates the truth, pays attention to the breath of heaven and earth, the body is the same as nature, and the body is created by nature, and turned into great power.

On the other hand, Buddhism, the main theme is "things should have no place to live and give birth to their hearts, one qiē ten thousand laws, and never leave themselves". Youyun: He period from xìng, this is from purity, what period is from xìng, this is no birth and destruction, what period is from xìng, this is self-sufficient, what period is from xìng, this is unshakable, what period is from xìng, can give birth to ten thousand laws!

Buddhism and Taoism are very different in thought, and the practice of the Dharma is naturally in the opposite direction, but they have kept their secrets for thousands of years and are unknown. And at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan, a little disciple on the Great Bamboo Peak of Qingyunmen, was greatly troubled by this incident.

"Which one is right?"

Zhang Xiaofan jumped out of bed and walked back and forth in the room, only to feel that his brain was in chaos, cranky, and he didn't dare to ask anyone, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed in a daze, sighing, and couldn't make a sound.

He was not a wise man, he came from a peasant family, he was young, and he had no insight and decision, and he thought about such a big thing in vain for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a reason. In the end, Zhang Xiaofan said to himself in his heart: "Forget it, anyway, Master Puzhi didn't say anything about this situation at the beginning, I will cultivate the two together, that is." At the moment, I didn't think much about it, but my heart was relaxed for a while, I went back to bed, meditated, and practiced Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao first.

It's just that it's easy for him to think, but it's a completely different situation to do. Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao refining qi, to open the seven pores of the whole body, to lead the heaven and earth aura into the body along the meridians, so as to exercise and stabilize the body's vitality and internal meridians;

The two sets of methods are diametrically opposed, but they made Zhang Xiaofan miserable, and in the next three months, in addition to going up the mountain to cut bamboo every rain or shine, he practiced these two ** doors with his heart. It's just that he has just made a small success in practicing Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, the aperture of the whole body has just opened, and the aura has entered the body.

After three months, Tian Buyi suddenly came to investigate Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation situation, but when he asked and tried, he was angry half to death. A common sense theory, ordinary people practice Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, with the first layer of the superficial, after three months should have a small success, can initially lead the heaven and earth aura into the body, running for three to five weeks. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofan's qualifications are really rare and unheard of. After three months of cultivation, he couldn't even control the aperture of his whole body, and it was even more reluctant to introduce spiritual energy into his body, let alone run for a few weeks.

Tian Buyi's eyes widened, staring at Zhang Xiaofan with an angry face, all the disciples next to him had sympathy, but they didn't dare to speak out, originally Song Daren wanted to say a few words for Zhang Xiaofan, but seeing that the junior disciples he taught had practiced to such an extent, his face was dull, and he didn't dare to speak, as for Tian Ling'er, he was smiling and watching the jokes on the side.

Zhang Xiaofan's face was full of shame, kneeling in front of Tian Buyi, embarrassed, thinking that no matter how the master scolded, it should be. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the surrounding senior brothers were silent, and even Tian Buyi didn't say a word, he was strange in his heart, and secretly raised his eyes to look, but saw that Tian Buyi's face was full of anger, and he didn't know when he turned into disappointment.

I saw Tian Buyi get up with his sleeves, shook his head, moved his short and fat body, didn't say anything, and walked towards the back hall. The disciples looked at each other, not knowing why.

Song Daren followed Tian Buyi for the longest time, vaguely knew what Tian Buyi was thinking, and guessed that the master was afraid that he would give up on this little junior brother. In the past three months, in addition to practicing his homework, Zhang Xiaofan has been busy in his spare time, he is helpful and honest, and everyone likes him very much. The mountain dwelling is lonely, that is, Tian Ling'er, who has always been arrogant, suddenly has a playmate who is similar to his age, even though he is often scolded on the surface, he is also a little happy in his heart.

Song Daren frowned, stepped forward to help Zhang Xiaofan, and said, "Little junior brother, the master is just angry for a while, so he doesn't care." As long as you practice diligently, sooner or later you will be recognized by his old man. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was ashamed in his heart, nodded again and again, and worked harder and harder since then.

He went up the mountain with Tian Ling'er to cut bamboo every morning, and ordinary disciples could cut down the black knotted bamboo in March after practicing Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, and Zhang Xiaofan actually cut the first black knotted bamboo half a year later. However, rain or shine in every rì, his body is quite strong, at least he will no longer pant like a cow when he goes up the mountain.

And from that time on, Tian Buyi ignored Zhang Xiaofan, and Song Daren asked him a few times about his practice at the beginning, but the longer it was, Zhang Xiaofan's entry was slow, and in the end, even Song Daren was discouraged and stopped asking him.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about it, he knew that his qualifications were not good, although sometimes he wondered if it would be caused by the two methods cultivating together, but every time he thought of it, he would think of the voice of Monk Puzhi, and his heart was hot, so he persevered. Although it was extremely difficult to practice along the way, he was persistent and stubborn, and he still survived.

He lived in a secluded place, practiced Tai Chi Xuanqing Tao during the day, and practiced Dafa Prajna late at night.

And during this period, Zhang Xiaofan also set one of the worst records since the establishment of the Qingyunmen: it took him three years, that is to say, it took three times as much time as ordinary people to finally complete the first layer of cultivation in the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Yuqing Realm, and he could control the aperture of the whole body freely, and lead the aura of heaven and earth into the body for thirty-six weeks. But what everyone doesn't know is that he also laid a solid foundation by practicing the Great Brahma Prajna, and he also peeped into the door of internal qi control.

When Zhang Xiaofan timidly announced to everyone at a dinner, all the disciples of the Qingyunmen Dazhufeng were stunned, as if they saw the thousand-year-old iron tree blooming, and then everyone laughed loudly, and Song Daren even picked up Zhang Xiaofan, who had grown up a lot, and threw him into the air, and after a few hits, he was overjoyed.

And Tian Buyi, who was sitting in front, looked at him coldly, snorted, and scolded in a low voice: "Big idiot!"

In the past three years, Zhang Xiaofan has grown to be fourteen years old, because of every time he cuts bamboo, his body is also strong, although he is two years younger than his senior sister Tian Ling'er, he is already generally tall. Tian Ling'er has grown from a thirteen-year-old girl to a sixteen-year-old daughter, and her appearance is even more gorgeous.

Tian Ling'er has always felt that the other six senior brothers are too big for herself, and she is old-fashioned, so she has always liked to stay with this stupid junior brother, and after three years, it has been very close. However, it has always been Tian Ling'er who has the upper hand, Zhang Xiaofan feels that her senior sister is indeed much stronger than herself, although she is commanding and shouting at herself, but she is occasionally teased by her senior brother, but she is the first to stand up and support herself.

The mountain dwelling is lonely, but it is also quiet, and Zhang Xiaofan has also asked Tian Buyi and Song Daren a few times about the tragedy in Caomiao Village, but there is no clue about that matter.

※※※※※

In the early morning, Zhang Xiaofan took a firewood knife as usual, walked out of the house alone, and walked towards the back mountain. Tian Linger completed the bamboo cutting homework two years ago and no longer goes, so in the past two years, Zhang Xiaofan has mostly gone up the mountain alone, but Tian Linger sometimes has nothing to do, and he also runs up the mountain to have fun with him.

Today, Zhang Xiaofan didn't see Tian Ling'er's figure, and he didn't care, he went up the mountain road alone, and in more than a month, he would also finish this bamboo cutting homework. He can now cut two black knotted bamboos every rì, but it is still far inferior to Tian Ling'er, when Tian Ling'er was about to end, he could cut more than a dozen black knotted bamboos.

A month ago, he had finally cultivated to the first layer of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Jade Qing Realm, and then Song Daren passed on the know-how of his second layer. He practiced for a month, and although it was much more profound than the first layer, somehow, he vaguely felt that it was easier than the first layer. For example, the first layer requires the control of the whole body aperture, which he has practiced for three years before he can achieve a small success, while the second layer requires "turning qi into jīng", so that the heaven and earth aura introduced into the body turns into jīng qi in the meridians. According to the senior brother, this is more than ten times more difficult than the first layer, but Zhang Xiaofan felt that it was unexpectedly easy. In the past three years, he has practiced every rì of the Great Brahma Prajna, and he has never stopped, and the internal qi has been quite hot, and the jīng qi is the internal qi, with the foundation of those three years, Zhang Xiaofan's entry into the realm is extremely fast.

It's just that he doesn't believe in himself, and when others practiced for a year, he had to practice for three years, and this time it was probably an illusion. So he didn't care, anyway, every time he practiced on time, no one came to bother him.
