Chapter 41 The road is difficult, and there are many taboos
Tang Ze listened quietly, and was a little embarrassed to be praised, so Chen Ken said, "I know this." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Su Changliu smiled sincerely: "Then I will officially invite you to join my Jiuying Mountain now, where your natural talents can be stretched, and there are abundant resources, with your qualifications, within a hundred years, you will have the opportunity to form a golden pill, or reach the realm of immortality." Eternal life. β
"Forget it. Tang Ze shook his head and refused, with a hint of apology on his face, "My relatives are all in Da Zhou, and they have raised me for more than ten years, but I can't leave because of selfishness." β
Su Changliu didn't care about Tang Ze's refusal, and asked directly: "Then second brother, what are your plans in the future?" β
Tang Ze hesitated for a moment, then said his thoughts: "Go home and study, and then practice martial arts while cultivating the Tao." β
Su Changliu looked at Tang Ze, thought about it, and said in a loud voice: "The land of Cangzhou is vast, and in addition to the human race, there are many demon races, as well as some other strange existences. The exercises of cultivation are complex and diverse, and the paths of cultivation are also different. But whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or demons and monsters, in general, it is nothing more than cultivating the soul and the body and body. β
Hearing this, Tang Ze already knew that there was something wrong with the path he had planned, which made the eldest brother feel like a professor. He had heard similar words from Elder Su once, and at this time, from the mouth of the eldest brother, it was a little deeper, and there was a lot more information. He also knows his own shortcomings, that is, without a teacher to guide him, he knows and learns according to his own understanding and exploration of books, and it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings and omissions.
Thinking of this, I only heard Su Changliu say again: "Only cultivating sex and not cultivating life, this is the first disease of cultivation." Therefore, except for a very small number of cultivation sects and races, most of them are dual cultivation of life, both the body and the soul, otherwise, they cannot be detached, but the focus is different. For tens of thousands of years, all cults of cultivation that have cultivated alone have not been able to last long. β
Tang Ze concentrated his attention and listened carefully, without asking, but just memorized every word that his eldest brother said, and listened to him talk eloquently there.
"In the land of Cangzhou, there are five avenues that are the easiest to walk, and the people who walk are also the most, they are Confucianism, Taoism, Buddha, demons, and martial arts. Confucianism reads, righteous heart and virtue, self-cultivation in the world, proves the heart of heaven with the hearts of the people, is righteous and upright, and the world is peaceful; Taoism cultivates the mind, the nature of the self, enters the gods and sits in the light, opens the world to preach the Tao, evolves all things, and is infinite; Buddhism visualizes, realizes the truth, does not move the root, establishes the kingdom of the Buddha in Bliss, the bitter sea, the past, the present and the future, all beings are equal; the demon clan manifests, swallows the sun and the moon, controls all laws, crosses the wind, fire, thunder and robbery caves, becomes holy, passes through the Mahayana, and lives forever; martial arts self-cultivation, the unity of spirit and flesh, and the subtle communication of the gods, proves the way of heaven with the power of God, holds the sun and the moon in his hands, and steps on the worldγ β
Su Changliu said this, poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and said: "Every avenue has its own way forward, and it is also extremely difficult. If you want to practice the two avenues, it is not impossible, and there are indeed people who have gone very far, and those who are still alive are all the existence of the dominant side. As for the initiates of the three avenues, I have not heard of a single person so far, or rather, who is still alive, is not qualified for me to remember. I look at you, second brother, there is not only Haoran righteousness in your chest, but also martial arts in your heart, and even more aura in the sea of qi. He looked at Tang Ze and said solemnly, "...... Second brother, listen to the advice of the eldest brother, and the three initiates of the three paths, but it is not good. β
Tang Ze was moved in his heart, it turned out that the eldest brother had gone around such a big circle, just to withdraw himself from the wrong path. After hearing this, he had a deeper understanding of the cultivation path of the cultivation realm in his heart, but the more he knew, the more he didn't know, so Tang Ze's mind was now full of questions.
He thought for a moment, and then asked, "Why can't you practice the three realms together?" For example, if I choose to major in martial arts, I will focus my main energy on it, and then devote part of my energy to cultivating Daomen spells and Confucian Haoran righteousness. In that case, wouldn't that be the equivalent of building only one avenue?"
Su Changliu shook his head categorically and said, "There are two reasons. The first point is a matter of energy. From mortal cultivation to immortality, that is, to get rid of the shackles of longevity, a total of four major realms must be broken through, that is, a full forty small realms, and each breakthrough is a double sublimation of the soul and the body. You mortals of the human race and cultivators who have entered the first realm, if you are free from illness and disaster, you can live for one hundred and fifty years. Breaking through the second realm, the longevity will increase to two hundred years. The third realm is three hundred years. Although Shouyuan can also be increased with treasures, elixirs and other strange things, it will never exceed five hundred years. In other words, if a person cultivates wholeheartedly, he must live forever within three hundred years, otherwise he will definitely die, and those who rely on treasures and elixirs to increase their longevity are just a lingering breath, and it is impossible to go further. β
Su Changliu sighed, his expression was full of emotion: "Actually, it's not just your human race, all races have similar restrictions, such as my demon race, although it has a long lifespan, it is self-proclaimed to be free and immortal, and after growing up, it can be said that it has great magical powers." But what my demon clan has to face is the three tribulations of wind, fire and thunder, its strength is three or five times that of the human race, its cultivation is ten times slower than that of the human race, the higher the level, the lower the chance of giving birth to an heir, and so on. All in all, this is the eternal and unchanging rule between heaven and earth, and it is the restriction, spur, and reminder of the way of heaven on our living beings...... Well, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Tang Ze's heart was extremely shocked, this is really a world with a clear path to exist! Not to mention other races, with the improvement of the realm, human cultivation can actually increase the lifespan, and the third realm can live for at least three hundred years! or even five hundred years!
300 years, 500 years, how many things can be done?!How much knowledge can be learned?!How many wonderful things can be seen?!
What's more, there is immortality above! There are four realms above immortality, so what kind of world is that?
He took a deep breath, suppressed his restless mind, and said, "I understand what the eldest brother means. Cultivation alone, it is already very difficult to break through to the fourth realm, and three hundred years may not be enough. And each of these realms must lay a solid foundation for the next realm and accumulate a profound foundation, otherwise, it cannot reach the highest level. In just 300 years, energy has become very limited...... My eldest brother is telling me that cultivation is not easy, and if I take care of other things, my energy will be even more insufficient. β
"Well, good, that's it. Su Changliu smiled with satisfaction, and said again: "This second point is balance. If you have extremely high qualifications and perseverance, you can also cultivate two paths at the same time, such as the second brother. But you have to understand one thing, whether it is a human, a demon, or other living beings, what they cultivate is the shell of the divine soul, and in a deeper sense, it is the cultivation of essence, qi, spirit, body, mind, and mind, and each avenue has its own cultivation method and cultivation sequence. For example, if you practice martial arts and qi at the same time, martial arts pay attention to forging the body first, melting the spirit into the qi, and condensing the supernatural powers. The Daomen is the first to draw qi, open the sea purple mansion, and build ten square abutments. This requires mastering the most basic balance, which is the balance between true qi and spiritual energy. Most of the geniuses of the two initiates died because of the imbalance of energy in their bodies, they went mad and exploded!"
Tang Ze was shocked into a cold sweat, in order to gain strength quickly, he didn't understand the taboos in cultivation, but fortunately he met Brother Su, otherwise he would be in trouble, it seems that the future road needs to be well planned.
