068 Episode The use of tools because of people, not necessarily relying on supernatural powers (I)
As the Wind Gentleman spoke, the chalcedony in the air had almost been refined, and it had become a completely transparent liquefaction state, suspended there like a large droplet. Feng Junzi let go of my left hand, grabbed my right hand with his own left hand, and stretched out a finger in the air with his right hand and asked me, "Shi Ye, do you know what Nanming Lihuo is?"
"I don't know if I've heard of it. Wait, it seems that "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" said that it was not fictional by literati?"
Feng Junzi smiled: "This is indeed the fiction of modern literati, but can't I turn fiction into reality if I am a cultivator of truth?" Actually, I didn't know what Nanming Lihuo was before, but after learning Samadhi True Fire, I created my own refining spell and simply named it Nanming Lihuo." Do you know the meaning of the four words Nanming Lihuo?"
"I don't know, I don't know the owner of Huanzhu Mansion, you created it yourself, or you told me yourself. β
Feng Junzi: "In the Book of Changes, Fu Xi made the congenital gossip in the south and Kun in the north, and King Wen made the acquired gossip in the south and Kan in the north. Nanming Lihuo refers to the creation of all things in heaven and earth. The center of the Samadhi True Fire is the true nature that manifests itself from the congenital appearance, while the Nanming Lihuo is the ingenious material and different properties of all things, so that the utensils have their unique and wonderful uses. β
The Wind Gentleman pointed to the chalcedony and said this, and the chalcedony was changing as he spoke. I saw that the color of the chalcedony was fading, from dark green to brilliant blue, and then from brilliant blue to light green. As the color faded, the body also shrank, as if the mass of liquid droplets was steaming and shrinking, from the size of an egg to the size of a walnut. The god gentleman I was looking at asked me again, "Have you learned how to leave the fire in Nanming?"
This time it was strange, I barely felt anything, unlike the one he had just cast the Samadhi True Fire, and I could know what he was doing at the same time. I shook my head, "No." β
Wind Gentleman: "It's normal that you can't understand it." Because it's not your mind refining chalcedony at this time. I'll tell you, the second step of this refining tool is that you process it after the material is pure and ready to be formed, but it's not just a casual process. The refining tool should not only use pure mind to refine the material, but also use your divine sense to experience this thing, and experience the changes after its natural properties are formed, and you must use the spirit to communicate with the weapon. Only in this way can it become a dharma instrument that is in harmony with the body and mind, and you can freely use it and make it a part of you. Although refining tools require special materials, the use of magic tools refined by each person is different for the same material. Do you feel it now, let it be a part of your body, although it is suspended outside of your body, you can control this thing as you control your hands and feet"
When the Wind Gentleman said this, I really realized it. But it's hard to describe the experience - imagine that you have three hands, which of course is not the meaning of the thief, but that you have one hand that is not connected to your body. But it is yours, it has feelings, and it is under your control. In fact, this is already the mental method of the imperial weapon, and it is obviously different from the imperial object I have learned before. In the realm of imperial objects, I am my stone or a stone, but in the realm of imperial weapons, I and the ritual weapons are one. Not everything can be used as a magic weapon, it must be refined through the human consciousness and mind.
Seeing that I had some understanding, the Wind Gentleman said, "Actually, this kind of principle of the unity of mind and object is not something that only cultivators can understand. Ordinary people can do it, have you seen it?"
"Ordinary people? Let me think about it...... There is a man named Shi Kang in our village, who likes to plant flowers, and he planted a pot of osmanthus flowers, and he can't wait to sleep with them every day, according to him, he has a feeling that the flowers bloom and fall, and the people in the village laugh at him as a nymphomaniac. ......β
The Wind Gentleman smiled again: "Yes, yes, that's what I saidβalas, it's not good!
When the Wind Gentleman was talking to me, he didn't pay much attention to the chalcedony in the air, and when I looked at it again, the droplets of the chalcedony had turned very small, and the green had almost receded, turning into a bluish-white. Looking at the gentleman again, he looked very sorry. He stretched out his hand and stretched out his ring finger like a warped orchid finger. The small drop of chalcedony slowly fell from the air, and the fingertips passed through the chalcedony and rested at the base of his ring finger. Then the Wind Gentleman let go of my hand, and the chalcedony stopped rolling, and in a thin circle, it became a ring around his ring finger.
The Wind Gentleman plucked the chalcedony from his hand and placed it in the palm of his hand, which was a ring. He looked at the ring, and the expression on his face was bitter, as if he was about to cry. I asked him, "What's wrong with you, Windlord?" Is there something wrong with the chalcedony? You made it into a ring?"
Feng Junzi: "It's a pity, this chalcedony is extremely precious, and I can't find a place to find it, but I finally got a piece, but I was wasted." It's all my fault that I accidentally just talked to you......"
"What's wrong, isn't that great, I think this ring is similar to what it sells in the mall. β
Feng Junzi: "We are refining the magic weapon, and we are not processing jewelry, we really want to process jewelry, such a large piece of jadeite raw jade is worth a lot of money! β
I took this ring and looked at the light between the vines outside the bridge, it was a blue-white translucent ring, and if I looked closely, the blue-white texture was covered with countless tiny spider web-like lines, which were indeed much worse than the original delicate and transparent jade. I didn't look at any doorway, and then returned it to the Wind Gentleman and asked, "How did it come to waste?"
Feng Junzi took this ring and played with it in his hand, and tried it with ten fingers on both hands, and then said to me: "How can the magic power of you and me be useless with such a good material? β
"What's the point?"
Wind Gentleman: "I use my pure innate mind to refine it, so that the outer demons will not invade." Then process it according to the properties of this chalcedony itself, so that it has its own wonderful use. Don't forget, this is the essence of a diopside jadeite raw jade, it can lock the aura in the veins of mountains and rivers. ...... This ring has two sides, inside and outside, the outer circle can block all the yin things in the world, close to the yin and evil spirits, and the inner circle can lock the spirit and spirit of the wearer's whole body, so that the aura and soul do not leak out. That's what this ring is for, but it's not for you or me. β
"It's amazing, why is it useless to you and me?"
Feng Junzi: "I haven't told you before, in fact, your Dan Dao cultivation is not low at the current realm, and it is only one step away from Jindan Dacheng. Besides, your Yin God cultivation has long been proficient, and you have the excellent body of the Golden Dragon Lock Jade Pillar, so there is no need to use this ring. Have you forgotten, that night in the mountain temple, there were thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and you sat alone at the temple gate, all of which blocked yourself, and you were much better than this ring. ...... As for me, this thing is even more dispensable. β
"So who can use it? Don't waste good stuff. "The Wind Gentleman said that it was useless for me to take it, and it was useless for him to hold it himself, so I couldn't help but think of something else. There are a lot of people around me, what about them? Or rather, what about them?
"Who can use it?" the Wind Gentleman suddenly smiled as he looked at the ring. This smile came suddenly, his face was sad just now, and suddenly his eyebrows flew with a smile, and he said with a smile: "I see!
"What's the matter?
Feng Junzi: "Willow is the willow of the Liu family, whether it is Teacher Liu Fei'er or your sister Liu Yiyi, they all need this ring." Have you paid attention to Teacher Liu? She has been looking very haggard lately, and this ring has a wonderful effect on the hands of ordinary people, that is, it calms the mind, is not stained, and does not have nightmares even when she sleeps. There is also Liu Yiyi, although he transforms into a form, but once he enters the world for a long time, the yin god will be consumed, and the body will be difficult to condense, but if you have this ring, it will be no problem. Although she can't have a real human body yet, all her actions should feel like an ordinary person's body!"
I listened to it from the sidelines, and I thought to myself, this is really a heavenly cycle, and it is not at all unpleasant! This chalcedony was originally stolen from the Liu family by the Wind Gentleman, whether it is for Teacher Liu or Liu Yiyi, it will be returned to its original owner. I asked, "Who are you going to give it to?" Teacher Liu or Yiyi?"
Feng Junzi looked at me: "Don't ask me this question, I plan to give it to you!As for whether you give it to your sweetheart Teacher Liu or that cute sister Liu Yiyi, that's your business, so I don't have to cause this trouble, and I don't have to use this brain." ...... But you have to pay attention to what a ring is? It's a ring or something, what does it mean when a man gives a woman a ring? Hehe, you can look at it yourself!"
With a wave of his hand, he threw the ring over, and I caught it. Originally, I was very happy, but after listening to the words of the Feng Junzi, I had a problem in my heart, who should I give it to? Logically speaking, I should give it to Liu Yiyi, because this thing is obviously more useful to her, but the Feng Junzi said something again, what is the meaning of the ring, this is really difficult. After thinking about it, let's give it to Yiyi. The reason is nothing else, Yiyi needs it more, and if I give it to her, she will definitely wear it, as for Mr. Liu, I have no excuse to give her such an inexplicable thing, and if I give it to her, she may not necessarily wear it, or whether she wants to wear it or not.
Seeing that I put away the ring, the gentleman asked again: "The magic weapons have names, what should this ring be called?"
"How's the Locking Ring?"
The Wind Gentleman nodded: "Okay, it's called the Lock Spirit Ring." I have taught you the general process of refining, in fact, the refining methods of each sect are different, so you can slowly explore it yourself in the future. I'm not too proficient in this, I'm not afraid of your jokes, today is the first time in my life that I have refined a weapon, and I didn't think about it, so I made a defective product. ...... The purpose of me teaching you the refining weapon is to let you learn how to use the magic weapon in the process, and the mental method of the imperial weapon, will you?"
To be honest, the wind gentleman demonstrated the process of "refining" in front of me, that is, it was so-so, I didn't dare to say that I have also learned the way of refining weapons since then, but I did experience the mental method of "imperial weapons". Hearing this, I nodded and said, "Yes, I comprehended the realm of the Imperial Weapon when you were refining the Lock Spirit Ring. β
Wind Gentleman: "Very good, give me the Qingying Mirror now." β
I took the Qingying Mirror out of my arms, and the Wind Gentleman took it and played with it in my hand. I kept looking at his hand and wondered if he would borrow his supernatural powers again, but this time he never reached out to grab me, but looked at the Qing Ying Mirror and said, "The Qing Ying Mirror is one of the three treasures of Zhengyi, and it can be regarded as a heaven and earth artifact, and it is infinitely useful in legends. Unfortunately, I didn't make it, it wasn't passed down to us, it was you who picked it up, and I don't know what it could be used for. β
"Didn't you use it?"
Wind Gentleman: "That's what I sensed myself with the mental method of the imperial weapon, and you can too." It's a pity that this weapon is broken, it is no longer its original appearance, and many spells may not be able to be cast, otherwise I can figure it out if I have time. β
I suddenly thought of a question and interrupted him and asked, "Wind Gentleman, wait, you said that this is a mutilated Qingying Mirror, but Zezhong Zeren of the Orthodox Gate said that it wasn't them, why can't they recognize it, will you be mistaken?"
Feng Junzi: "I can't make a mistake about this, this is the Qingying Mirror! It's normal for them to not recognize it, because they don't dare to think that the Zhengyi Three Treasures will be like this, and it is completely different from the Zhengyi Sect's artifact genealogy record." If the head of the Zhengyi Sect is upright, the real person is here, I am afraid that he will recognize this Qingying Mirror, but he will not be able to recognize it like those people in Hechen and Xi. Wouldn't that be better for you?"
The Wind Gentleman is right, so it is indeed better. Now the cultivation world knows about Qi Yun's view of life, and knows that my Shi Xiaozhen's magic weapon is a dilapidated ancient mirror. As long as no one says that this is the Qingying Mirror, I can take it out publicly and take it on my body so that the real person of Shouzheng will not see it. Thinking of this, I asked the Wind Gentleman again: "Then can it still be repaired?"
Wind Gentleman: "It should be possible to fix it, but it's better not to do it." Don't think that it only took me a moment to make this ring, if it was seen by outsiders, it would be just nonsense and ruining things. Do you think it's that simple to refine a magic weapon? The senior who refined Ziyingyi took thirty years! Refining a treasure like the Qing Ying Mirror is not an ordinary kung fu, and it is even more difficult to repair, so you might as well make use of it!"
"So what's the use of it now? I see you've done a lot with it. β
Wind Gentleman: "Now there are at least three wonderful uses for this Blue Shadow Mirror. The first use is to collect and refine all the yin things in the world, this is after all a Taoist thing, and it is very convenient to catch a little ghost or something. The first time I used it was to receive Liu Yiyi's Yin God into the mirror. β
"Catch ghosts! What are you doing catching ghosts? The ghosts didn't offend me!"
