Chapter Seventy-One: The Dragon's Trick
This thought was just a flash, and the mountain god couldn't even pick a few leaves of the ginseng doll, let alone eat the little bad. Lu Zheng naturally wouldn't do this, he was flustered, so he had such thoughts. Looking at the unconscious mountain god in front of him, Lu Zheng couldn't think of any way, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
"Hao Hao Hao" The little bad has been jumping around on the mountain god, shouting non-stop. Lu Zheng didn't pay attention at first, but after a long time, he was distraught, and couldn't help but shout: "Little bad, be quiet." After drinking it, I realized how could I have such a big temper? and hurriedly said, "Little bad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." After speaking, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how could the little bad understand what he was saying? He stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed the little bad into his palm.
As soon as he let go, the little bad immediately jumped outward, jumped back to the mountain god's body, and jumped to the heart of the mountain god. Lu Zheng went to catch it again and put it in the palm of his hand, touched its back, and was stunned for a while before he said: "Little bad, even you want to stay with Uncle Mountain God, don't you?" But now that Uncle Mountain God is about to die, I have nothing to do but watch, what do you say I should do? Hey, so far, there is no one to discuss what to do, so what's the use of telling you!"
"Hao", Lu Zheng hasn't come back to his senses yet, and the little bad has already jumped back to the mountain god's body, still staying in the heart of the mountain god. Lu Zheng felt a little strange at this moment, why did the little bad always go to the heart of the mountain god? If you look closely, the mountain god's clothes are a little tattered. A red scroll emerged from the hole, and the little bad just jumped around on the scroll, refusing to leave.
Lu Zheng looked curious, grabbed the little bad and put it aside, and then took the red scroll out of the mountain god's arms, flipped it upside down and looked at it, Lu Zheng wanted to open the scroll to take a look, but under a pull, the scroll couldn't be opened. Lu Zheng remembered that when he used the ancient vine, the mountain god taught him to use mana to extract it, and immediately sensed the scroll with his divine sense. Prepare to unfold it with mana.
It was the moment Lu Zheng's divine consciousness touched the scroll. An unspeakable aura surged from the scroll. Under Lu Zheng's divine sense, he was frozen. At the same time, the scroll flew up on its own and spread out in mid-air, and countless golden runes appeared, and the light reflected Lu Zheng's whole body.
He seemed to be attracted by this mystical aura and golden light. A dragon groan sounded from Lu Zheng's limbs. Reverberates around the body. Then a golden dragon poked its head out of Lu Zheng's chest and flew towards the Dan scroll in the air, stretching out its claws to grab the scroll.
At this time, Lu Zheng saw this qiē very clearly. But he couldn't move, he almost forgot about it, the last time he was in the stone room, the golden dragon entered the body and guided the seven orifices to bleed, and he was going to find Yuan Wuyi to ask clearly, but then a series of accidents happened, so he forgot about it. I didn't expect it to pop up again now, what the hell is going on?
Just as Lu Zheng had this question in his heart, the golden dragon's claws had already grasped the scroll, but the claws were through the scroll. The dragon's claw was rolled in, but half of its body remained in Lu Zheng's body, so a bridge was built between Lu Zheng and the scroll. The golden runes seemed to be inexplicably pulled, and they began to rotate around Lu Zheng, gradually entering Lu Zheng's body.
After the rune entered the body, it wrapped around the golden dragon, and at the moment when the rune touched the golden dragon, the golden dragon trembled, roared, and his body suddenly transformed into thousands of feet, constantly flying into the sky, shaking off a golden light with his teeth and claws. Behind him was the golden rune that appeared in the Dan scroll, constantly spiraling around the dragon's body, and the speed was not much slower than that of the golden dragon.
The golden dragon climbed the clouds and kept drilling out of Lu Zheng's body, until in the end, only one tail remained in Lu Zheng's body. The golden dragon stopped rising, and the golden runes suddenly attached to its body, and in a short time, all the runes were imprinted on the golden dragon's body, even the dragon horns and dragon whiskers. With the rune on his body, the golden dragon roared again and slowly retracted into Lu Zheng's body. Immediately, a purple lightning bolt suddenly descended from the nine heavens, divided into four paths in the air, and fell on Lu Zheng's four directions.
After the golden dragon entered the body, Lu Zheng suddenly had a thought in his heart. He naturally used his divine sense to touch this thought, and then his mind dissolved, and the layers of content continued to unfold in Lu Zheng's heart. Just after Lu Zheng deciphered the content of the first layer, he almost didn't scream immediately!
The content of this mind turned out to be a set of cultivation methods created by the Holy Sect!
Naturally, this thought was not left by the Holy Sect himself, because the Holy Sect is not a name but an honorific name, and it is the name given to him by later generations after the Holy Sect disappeared, so it is impossible for the Holy Sect to call himself the Holy Sect. The person who left this thought did not explain who he was, but he clearly explained that this set of recipes was created by the Holy Sect, and the name of this set of recipes is called the Dragon Technique!
As the thoughts unfolded layer by layer, the entire Dragon Recipe was also clearly manifested in Lu Zheng's heart. This set of dragon tricks is divided into six realms: hidden dragon tricks, seeing dragon tricks, walking dragon tricks, leaping dragon tricks, flying dragon tricks, and Kanglong tricks.
Why is this set of recipes called the Dragon Technique? This person has his own explanation in his mind. The path of cultivation is the path to liberation, and when you practice, you can obtain magical powers. The so-called supernatural power is not in magic, but in its divine ability to penetrate all things in heaven and earth. And if its gods can reach all things in heaven and earth, then it is the path to liberation.
Therefore, the so-called supernatural power is originally in God and is used in it, and spells are just its use. Everything in heaven and earth is a tangible body, and in its visible and knowable form, there is also the foundation of all laws that are born in nature and earth, which is God!
This god can also be said to be the true spiritual nature possessed by all living beings in heaven and earth, and he is naturally at ease among living beings. However, because of all kinds of obstacles, the god of a living being is unable to communicate with all things in heaven and earth, and thus all kinds of unfreedom and liberation arise, so it is necessary to practice to prove it.
Therefore, the first step in cultivation is to find the 'God' in one's own physical body. And the dragon is the most changing thing between heaven and earth, rising and rising, or soaring above the nine heavens, or lurking under the nine earths, traveling clouds and rain, and news at any time, just like the change of God. Therefore, the Holy Father used the dragon as a metaphor for God. That's why this set of recipes is called the Dragon Trick!
Therefore, the first layer of the formula is called the hidden dragon formula, the so-called hidden dragon meaning, with the dragon lurking in the waves, and the nine places down the metaphor of the god hidden in the form of all things, and it is not revealed. And the first step in cultivation is to find the God hidden in the form, and there is only one way to find it, and that is for God to manifest itself. As for how to make God manifest himself, there are many ways to do it.
In this hidden dragon formula, the person who left the formula mentioned that although there are countless ways to make God manifest in the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism, the Holy Sect believes that in terms of covenant, there are actually only two kinds, one is forgetting the form, and the other is practicing the form. The so-called forgetfulness of form means forgetting a qiē form, so that it no longer hinders God's communication with all things. The practice of the form is to make the visible body the medium through which God communicates with all things. In fact, all the ways are not out of this movement, one and two ways. Through these two paths, the visible body can make the god manifest and find the hidden dragon.
And the Holy Father even said that no matter which method is used, the most important thing is to achieve the eight words of self-restraint and concentration. Therefore, the Holy Sect himself did not leave any special method to manifest the gods, but in this hidden dragon formula, he listed countless related techniques in the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, including meditation, guidance, qi training, mantra holding, and so on.
What the Holy Sect talks about in this hidden dragon recipe is more about another issue, that is, the difference between the method of forgetting the form and the method of practicing the form, which belong to the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. In Buddhism, the main practice is the way of forgetting the form, and in the Taoism, the practice of the form is the first. Of course, this is not absolute, there is also the method of practicing the form in Buddhism, and there is also the practice of forgetting the form in the Taoism, but the practice of Buddhism and the forgetting of the Taoist gate, the meaning is also completely different, and it leads to the difference in practice after that.
The Buddhas' way of forgetting their form, with the method of meditation, regards this physical body as the body of the earth, fire, water, and wind, and regards this mind as a thing that combines the six fates of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and the body and mind are all illusory, but in fact they do not exist, so as to reveal their gods. However, the way of practicing the form of the Taoist Gate is not, depending on the physical body as the commission of heaven and earth, and the traces of its gods are the foundation of cultivation.
In the end, the Holy Father did not explain which method was more superior, but only suggested that the visible body is very different, and which method is more appropriate to use, and it does not matter which one is different.
And when Lu Zheng came to this, his heart naturally compared with the Imperial Heavenly Recipe that Yuan Wuji had passed on to him before. One is the Heavenly Trick and the other is the Dragon Trick, and the two seem to have a very subtle connection. Although the Imperial Heavenly Formula is divided into nine realms, and the Imperial Dragon Recipe only has six realms, the first layer of the Imperial Heavenly Formula is known as the Divine Sky, and the three steps of the Yuan Shen Manifestation, the Yuan Jing Stability, and the Yuan Qi Meridian are actually exactly the same as the Hidden Dragon Formula.
And the method of transforming the Heavenly Essence into the Manifestation of the Primordial Divine is the True Essence and the Small Refining Form, which is exactly one of the two methods of one movement and one stillness that the Holy Sect talked about. It's just that in the hidden dragon formula, there are more methods listed than this.
Its god is revealed, like a dragon has appeared, so the second realm after the hidden dragon trick is to see the dragon trick. The so-called seeing a dragon is like a dragon appearing on the earth and being seen by others. After practicing the hidden dragon technique, the tangible body is refined, and its god can be revealed, at this time, the form is the god, the god is the form, and there is no difference between the two.
After that, the practitioner should break through himself, feel the god of all things between heaven and earth, and at the same time make sure that his own god is stable and mastery, and not be taken away by the god of all things. Neither disturbed by external objects, nor disturbed by all things, God contemplates all things, static and stop, moving and following, nothing to do. Therefore, in the recipe of seeing the dragon, there is a method of refining the gods, stabilizing their gods, and there are also methods of feeling with things, and so on. (To be continued......)
