The so-called formation method is actually an extremely special method. If we want to talk about it in detail, we must start from the foundation of Xuanmen's understanding of the world.
According to Taoism, the foundation of the world is
"Qi", that is
"The vitality of heaven and earth", the vitality of heaven and earth is material, and their combination constitutes the entire world. Qi, or the vitality of heaven and earth, is the most basic part of the world.
The mechanism of the movement of the vital energy of heaven and earth is mostly the result of the mutual influence of the three laws of heaven and man among the nine laws of heaven and man.
Although the vitality of heaven and earth is real, it is different from that of heaven and earth.
"I" is not real. People are born, old, sick, and die. When they are just born,
"I" am very ignorant and a confused child. When we grow old, as our body ages,
"I" will also become dull and rigid. Even in the prime of life, they are still affected by the outside world. If your eyes are bad, you can't see.
If your ears are not good, you will not be able to hear clearly. This material world composed of the real vitality of heaven and earth, and this constantly affected
Compared with "me", I am really too fake. That’s why Xuanmen has a goal,
"Cultivation through falsehood" is also the origin of the original meaning of cultivation. Get rid of that false
"I", dig out, refine and cultivate into the true
"I", this true self is not only transcending birth, old age, sickness and death of the physical body, but also transcending heaven and earth. This is practice.
composed of this new
There are two major categories of "true self" in Taoism. One is called
"Yang Shen", a name
"True form". The so-called Yang Shen means realizing that the survival of the physical body is not the most important factor, strengthening one's mind, and finally integrating the physical body into the soul, abandoning the original body, and pursuing a more transcendental goal.
"Dharmakaya" is what is called in Buddhism
The saying of "Dharma body and wisdom life". The true form is to inherit the essence between heaven and earth, constantly transform the body that is destined to be weak, and achieve
"Eternal truth". In the process of practitioners constantly refining and strengthening their true selves, everyone has different understandings, follows different rules, and proposes different methods. This is
"Law". For example, the "Secret of Zhou Jue Yin Tian" practiced by Su Che is essentially to use the lunar moonlight to continuously grow and strengthen.
"True me". The Shenxiao Tao respects the thunder method, and the "Xuan Xiao Ying Yuan Pu Du Zhen Jue" practiced in its sect uses the power of thunder to grow and strengthen the soul.
These
"Dharma" all starts from the nine laws of heaven and man, and goes up layer by layer. In the end, it leads to the same goal through different paths, leading to the fruit of transcendence.
Since practitioners have
"Dharma" is in one's body, relying on
Acting on the "Dharma" can naturally change the vitality of heaven and earth, that is, the external material world, and transform it according to the mind. This driving force to change the original state of the vitality of heaven and earth is
"Mana". And the way to change the external world is to
"Skill", that is
"Supernatural power". This is the foundation of Taoism and the fundamental reason why Taoism, Buddhism, Sword Palace, etc. are different from each other.
In other words, according to Su Che's previous life, it is the difference between the worldview of understanding the world and the methodology of transforming the world that is the fundamental difference between the several major schools.
For example, Buddhism treats the external world as
"The vitality of heaven and earth" is still regarded as
"Earth, water, fire and wind"
The "Four False Combinations" are a combination that denies the reality of the external world and pursues the inner world.
"True", from this point alone, is fundamentally different from Xuanmen. The difference between the two families is definitely not as simple as whether to shave one's head.
The definition of immortality is different from Taoism’s constantly adapting to changes.
"Survival", but the pursuit of
"Empty is not empty, Tathagata hides"
"Death" will
"Nirvana" is regarded as the ultimate liberation. This kind of thinking has even negated the significance of Xuanmen immortality. The immortality of Taoism is still inaccessible to Buddhism, and the nirvana of Buddhism is equivalent to the end of immortality for Taoism.
The same method is used to manifest a ball of flame with magic power, and the result is the same, but the cause is completely different for the two sects of Xuan Buddha.
But when we arrived at Sword Cultivator, the entire legal principle changed again. Of course, the legal principles of sword cultivation are more harmonious with Taoism, but they are completely opposite to Buddhism. They are even more antagonistic to Buddhism than Taoism.
Therefore, there are people in this world who also practice Xuanjian.
"Lu Chunyang", but can't see it
"To kill karma is not to kill people; to kill is to protect lives."
"The Theory of Buddhist Swords". Let’s talk about the formation again, we still have to start with
Put pen to paper on "skill". Since mana is the driving force to change the material world, and magical power is the method to change the material world, then a problem arises.
Once the external power is lost, the universe, heaven and earth, as a
"The overall system" naturally tends to restore the original
"normal status". Just like Su Cheyi
The "Nine Nether Burning God Yin Fire" can naturally burn all kinds of monsters and ghosts against the enemy, but the Nine Nether Burning God Yin Fire itself has
"Legal principles" determine that it cannot continue to be maintained after the mana urge disappears. It is destined not to spread and even be indestructible like a wildfire that follows the law of nature.
In the world of spiritual practice, there are methods that can burn Afang with a lamp. For example, the karma fire of Buddhism comes from
Starting from the concept of "existence" itself, as long as it is contaminated, there will be no end. But practitioners always hope that they can transform magical powers into
If the "abnormal state" is maintained, just like the karmic fire in Buddhism, there will naturally be different
"Technology". Weapon refining can be described as one type, and formation method is another type. Through various arrangements, the laws between heaven and earth are permanently changed, causing certain effects.
This is like embedding a net on a piece of calm water, building something of its own under the original laws of heaven and earth.
This is the formation. It is an attempt by monks to influence and replace the natural laws of heaven and earth with their own methods.
The Taiyi Mu Shenjing in Qingdi Baoyuan is the highest level display of the formation. The large formation in Daliang Palace is also a typical representative of this kind of magic.
Compared with the directness of other magical powers, formations can also rely on
"The power of heaven and earth" means borrowing the original power of the law of nature and turning it into one's own use. There is now a somewhat rudimentary formation in this gambling house, and the purpose of this formation is to limit and respond to the prying eyes of spiritual thoughts. This is also a simple application for practitioners.
If it were the previous Su Che, when faced with such a formation, he might have nowhere to start and could only look for changes from the pile of old papers.
However, Mr. Su San, who received the "Jade True Sword of Nine Spirits" from Kong Kong'er, really gained not only the sword-handling concepts of the Creation lineage, but also the broadening of his thinking.
From simple application to trying to fully understand, by
"Glorify things" and then
"Sword Movement" has evolved into changing the way he observes the world. This may be Su Che's biggest gain after going to Huandan.
It is also a priceless treasure on the road to spiritual practice in the future.
