Chapter 83: The Meaning of Thirty-Seven
The monthly engagement may sound slow, but time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it has been three years since Mu Feng came to Scorpio Wanzhong Mountain, from a thirteen-year-old child to a sixteen-year-old boy, receding from youthfulness, maturity, and great changes in style and temperament.
Whether it is the growth of the appearance or the internal transformation, it has undergone earth-shaking changes.
This has the credit of Yin Bo, and it is inseparable from the teachings of the spirit shadow.
Sixteen-year-old Mu Feng looks energetic, youthful, like the rising sun, full of vitality.
Yin Bo looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The master has taught you all things in your heart, and it seems that you have mastered them completely. ”
Mu Feng said modestly: "It's just a preliminary mastery, and it still needs to be constantly honed." ”
Yin Bo said: "Cultivation is a long process, the key is to get started, speaking of which, you can be regarded as half of the master's descendant, this is your luck in this life." ”
Mu Feng bowed his head and said: "Yes, this is the luck of my life, but the time is too short." ”
I see each other once a month, and it's only thirty-six times in three years, and thirty-six nights, which is really short.
"Don't be disappointed, there's still a chance. You're just getting started, and there's still a long way to go. ”
At night, on the white jade cold stone, the spirit shadow came as promised.
Yin Bo stood aside respectfully, and Mu Feng took Lingying's hand to tell about the progress and changes in the past month.
"You're making a lot of progress, and being able to keep going up at this rate shows that you're very strong, very malleable, and you're still at your peak, and it's harder to push the limits. ”
Mu Feng sneered: "Is there any way to be faster?"
Lingying stroked Mu Feng's hair and turned his head to look to the side.
Yin Bo said respectfully: "Master, the old slave has little time, why don't you let me accompany him around." ”
Spirit Shadow said, "It's too early, he's not ready yet. The next three months will be the key to his full sublimation, you go and prepare, I hope he can enter the realm of Juding before the age of seventeen. ”
"The old slave understands. ”
Lingying took Mu Feng into the secret realm and discussed the cultivation speed.
"People have three souls and seven spirits, what does the corresponding spirit realm represent, do you understand?"
Mu Feng hesitated: "The Three Souls and Seven Spirits should correspond to the cultivation of the spiritual level, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with the Spiritual Realm, right?"
"When you were in the realm of Huagang, ten vortices were condensed in your body, forming a three-layer pyramid of ten vortices, breaking through the limit of nine throughout the ages, how do you think this ten came about?"
Mu Feng muttered: "Nine is the extreme of the number, it is the extreme of the singular number, ten is the beginning of the double number, the separation of the two is a line, but it represents two different levels, as for how ten came about, I really haven't thought about it." ”
Lingying said: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, this three is very important, it can correspond to the three souls of the monk." Everything in the world is difficult to be perfect, and this ten is the combination of three souls and seven spirits. The monk is the spirit of all things, and the way of heaven can manifest in all things, and naturally it can also manifest in the monk, and it is extremely clear. Many people tend to ignore these things, thinking only about the essence of the Heavenly Dao and the true meaning of the Great Dao, but ignoring the fundamental connection between the Heavenly Dao and the monks, and between the Great Dao and the living beings. ”
Mu Feng was stunned, this was a question he had never thought of, if it wasn't for the Spirit Shadow awakening, he might not have thought about this problem for a long time in the future.
"The way of heaven is lacking, the way is damaged, and the so-called eternal life is perfection. Eternal life is unattainable, and perfection is not always available. For cultivators, reincarnation is only for perfection, but these two words have become the most difficult door to cross on the road to eternal life. ”
Lingying sighed lightly, full of emotion.
Mu Feng still didn't quite understand what eternal life and reincarnation were, because his realm was too low, and he was still too far away from that level.
"Sister Lingying, what does the three souls and seven spirits represent when they correspond to the realm of the spirits?"
Spirit Shadow whispered, "It represents the conjunction of three and seven, but not everyone can reach that level. You have this opportunity, but you don't understand it yet. ”
Mu Feng pondered: "Three and seven add up to ten, I now have the Star Tree and the Hellfire Demon Lotus, and I can continue to fuse the innate spirit roots, I want to fuse the eight more innate spirit roots as long as the opportunity allows, and it should not be difficult to achieve perfection." ”
Spirit Shadow said, "This is your understanding, which is exactly the same as the thinking of a normal monk. Ordinary monks don't have a physique like yours and can't fuse excess innate spiritual roots, you have this kind of opportunity, but your understanding is wrong. ”
Mu Feng was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Lingying said: "Three plus seven is ten, different from two plus eight, one plus nine, four plus six, this three has a special meaning, three gives birth to all things, corresponding to the three souls of the human body." In terms of the realm of the seed spirit, the perfect spirit realm can be called the only one in the world, and it is the ultimate of the spirit realm. But how can we be perfect, what is the relationship between the combination of three and seven and the three souls and seven spirits?"
This is exactly what Mu Feng is puzzled about, Lingying's hint is already obvious, but he has thought about it a lot, and still hasn't come up with the most reasonable explanation.
Looking at Mu Feng's contemplative and silent appearance, Spirit Shadow whispered, "What is the difference between your Star Tree and the Hellfire Demon Lotus?"
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at Lingying in amazement, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "I understand, I know what the combination of three and seven means." ”
Lingying knocked on his head and scolded, "I reminded him for a long time to figure it out, it's really a piece of rotten wood." ”
Mu Feng said with a dry smile: "The main reason is that this level is too profound, and I can't think of going there at all." ”
The key lies in the difference between three and seven.
Lingying's repeated reminders and ignitions were to tell Mu Feng that if he wanted to achieve perfection, it was not something that could be completed by simply fusing the eight innate spiritual roots, which contained mysteries, and the difference was a millimeter.
The difference between the Star Tree and the Hellfire Demon Lotus is not the difference between one yang and one yin, but the Star Tree is condensed by Mu Feng itself, and the Hellfire Demon Lotus is fused, which is the essential difference.
If you want to be perfect, Mu Feng must condense three kinds of spiritual roots by himself, and then fuse the seven innate spiritual roots, three inner and seven outside, corresponding to the three souls and seven spirits, and the three souls are the main inside, which is the root, and the seven spirits are outside the main body, and they are extremely changeable.
The three notoginseng are combined, the three controls and seven changes, and the spiritual root formed by its own condensation is unbreakable, forming a triangle and determining the base.
The so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and if the foundation is not strong, the building will fall.
If Mu Feng only condensed the Star Tree, and then fused nine kinds of foreign innate spirit roots, the number reached perfection, but in fact, the hidden danger was extremely deep, and if he was not careful, he would fall into a place of no return.
The triangular pyramid corresponding to the Huagang realm can also continue in the realm of the spirit.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng suddenly brightened, and felt that the fog ahead had suddenly opened, and he had taken another crucial step on the path of cultivation.
"To condense the other two spiritual roots, you need the corresponding superior exercises, do I need to cultivate other methods?"
The Star Tree originated from the Heavenly Star Divine Technique, and if you want to condense a spiritual root that can be comparable to the Star Tree, you will inevitably need a superior multiplication method of the same level.
Lingying said: "Your Heavenly Immortal Divine Technique is already quite hot, and it complements the Heavenly Star Divine Technique, and it can also be condensed into a spiritual root of the same level. The remaining third method is crucial and needs to be carefully considered. ”
Mu Feng asked, "Is the trick of mountains and rivers and the earth good?"
Lingying said: "The mountain, river and earth recipe is not bad, but it is still a few points worse than the Heavenly Star Divine Technique and the Heavenly Hades Divine Technique. ”
"Is there a more superior technique that is suitable for me to cultivate?"
Lingying muttered, "I'm from another world on the other side of time and space, and the cultivation method there is completely different from here, focusing on cultivation at the spiritual level. ”
Mu Feng questioned, "Isn't the Heavenly Immortal Divine Technique a practice of that world?"
Lingying said: "I will tell you the origin of the Heavenly Immortal Divine Technique in the future, I have carefully calculated your mountain, river and earth technique, and it is not perfect, if you can obtain the follow-up cultivation method in the future, it will not be bad." ”
Mu Feng was surprised: "The mountains and rivers are incomplete, won't you?"
Lingying smiled: "You are still young, and your realm is not enough, so there are some things that you can't comprehend yet." The Heavenly Star Divine Technique and the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Technique are one yang and one yin, from above the sky and under the netherworld, and the last method is the best position in the middle for you. ”
Mu Feng frowned and said, "In the middle?"
"Heaven and earth, people, up, middle and down. If you compare the Heavenly Star Divine Technique to the heavens and the Heavenly Spiritual Secret to the Underground, the third method you need is the human being. ”
Mu Feng realized something and asked, "Where can I find it?"
Lingying looked at the colorful jade beads in the distance, and her beautiful face showed contemplation.
"The world is far away, illusory and ethereal. There are countless miracles of life in heaven and earth, and it is not only this place that has living beings, but the so-called middle position is the place of origin that carries all things and gives birth to endless living beings. In other words, the earth beneath your feet. ”
Mu Feng is not stupid, he has something to think about. "Calculated like this, the trick of mountains and rivers is actually very good?"
Lingying looked back at him, with a look in his eyes that Mu Feng couldn't understand.
"You're right, the mountains and rivers are indeed very suitable, but it's just incomplete. If you are sure that you will be able to get the complete exercise in the future, then it is the best exercise. If you don't have the information to get the full exercise, then you can choose to take another superior exercise. ”
This is a choice, and it is related to the achievement of a lifetime in the future, so Lingying said it very clearly, hoping that Mu Feng can grasp it himself.
"Are the other exercises easy to find, and how are the results?"
"The perfect supreme exercise is naturally difficult to find, and the effect should not be too bad, but there are always flaws. ”
Mu Feng fell silent, he was now standing at a crossroads, and he needed to make the most important choice in his life.
Once you choose the key to mountains and rivers, the foundation must not be changed, and you can only go one way.
If you give up the mountain, river and earth technique, you need to find another supreme technique that is comparable to the Heavenly Star Divine Technique and the Heavenly Immortal Divine Technique, which is also a very difficult thing.
