"Then what realm are you in? How far are you from the innate realm?" Chen Fan suppressed his eagerness to understand the innate realm, and first understood the realm of Xiao Qing's martial arts in front of him, so as to have a reference.
"My inner strength is only practiced in the meditation stage, which is far away from the innate realm. It is still in the basic stage. Master Huang did not dare to teach me real inner strength. The main reason is that the inner strength methods of each sect and academy are different, but They all require the mind to be calmed down quickly, so they only teach how to become calm, which is not very different among the various sects."
"What is the biggest difference between internal strength and external strength?"
"External Kung Fu mainly exercises muscles, muscles and bones, and strength is mainly related to qi and blood. The maximum strength of a person is estimated to be about 500 kilograms. Due to the restriction of qi and blood, with age, qi and blood decrease, and the strength gradually decreases; internal Kung Fu mainly exercises Training of muscles, bones, and five internal organs is currently limited by the spiritual beings of heaven and earth, and internal strength training can only reach a maximum strength of about two to three thousand kilograms."
"Two or three thousand kilograms? How can we break the void?" Chen Fan knew that in modern society, weightlifters are divided into two types of movements: snatch and clean and jerk. The snatch is more difficult than the clean and jerk. No matter which movement, the current world champion can do it at most. Lifting more than 200 kilograms of weight, but if it is boxing, strength plus speed can produce more than 500 kilograms of force. I don’t know which one Xiao Qing is referring to, but no matter which one, Shattering Void requires The strength is very different, right?
"Breaking the Void doesn't just rely on strength, there are other things as well. It's quite complicated. I don't know the details, but it can only be done by reaching the innate realm."
"What is the innate realm?" Chen Fan asked again and again.
"The specifics are not very clear, but the human body's meridians are fully open, and the internal force runs in the body and can penetrate the body, which is the prerequisite for entering the innate." Xiao Qing told what he knew.
It seems that "the road is long and long, I will search up and down." (from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao") Chen Fan thought that although the road ahead is long, isn't the excitement of life lies in the exploration of the unknown?
"Then why do you plan to go to Qian Taoist Temple? With your qualifications, you can probably go to any Taoist Temple." Judging from the relationship between the original owner Chen Fasheng and Xiao Qing, he must have never asked such questions, let alone praised him. Chen Fasheng Van asked, deciding to throw caution to the wind for the moment.
Sure enough, when Xiao Qing heard Chen Fan's praise, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Actually, my qualifications are only average. Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and hundreds of schools of thought all have their own methods to enter the innate realm. However, for thousands of years, only With the martial arts, he has achieved the Shattering of the Void, Baiyun Temple is known as the authentic Taoist school in the world, and his martial arts is also unique, so he chose Qian Dao Academy in the hope of entering Baiyun Temple to practice."
"The Baiyun Temple claims to be the authentic Taoist school in the world!" Chen Fan looked towards the place where the incident occurred and saw Master Jia walking into the courtyard from the Crescent Moon Gate, followed closely by his father.
"I have met the mage and my father (uncle)." The two of them quickly stood up and saluted.
However, the greetings between the two people did not interrupt Master Jia's emotion, "Think of me, those who practice Taoism, what they cultivate is the heart, which is virtue. Saints usually have no desires, no pursuits, no self, Do nothing. Therefore, I don’t seek, don’t fight, don’t show off, and don’t show off. Think about my Zhenwu Guan, which has been established for thousands of years and has a long tradition, but it never claims to be authentic. Instead, it establishes Tao, preaches, and teaches by one’s own body. He protects the world, so although he has a small name, he is not prominent, but his Taoism is profound and spiritual, and he is not inferior to any view." After saying this, Master Jia paused, and probably couldn't hold it back in the end, looking at Xiao Qing and Chen Fan added: "Do you know?"
When these words were asked, the atmosphere suddenly froze. If you don't answer, it's not right. If you answer, the words will spread out and offend Baiyunguan. If you don't answer, you will immediately offend Master Jia in front of you. Chen Fan looked at Xiao Qing and saw that his face was slightly red. He probably didn't know how to answer and was anxious.
"We can't be silent here. I think Master Jia was invited by his father to treat me, or even to become his disciple. A Qing doesn't have to answer, but I can't offend him." Chen Fan saw this, and his heart went crazy. , couldn't help but said: "What the Master said is that saints do nothing? Although I don't know what orthodoxy is, I am fortunate enough to meet the Master. Every time I listen to the Master's teachings, I suddenly feel enlightened and enlightened. Seeing that the Master is teaching with his own body all the time, I want to come to Zhenwu Temple His reputation will be spread all over the world and he will be respected by others. If students of the Dharma can learn a thing or two from it, they should use it for life." It would be best if you could copy all the classics in the temple for me. Chen Fan silently made a wish, and at the same time he felt a little proud: "I didn't say that Baiyun Temple is not orthodox, I just said that Master Jia has a high level of Taoism, so he shouldn't have offended anyone."
Master Jia was in a good mood after hearing Chen Fan's words, "Fa Sheng has been praised too much. We should take the saint as a role model, be selfless and selfless, and be a pure and sincere person."
"I have learned the lesson, thank you Master." Chen Fan and Xiao Qing said in unison.
"The master and I came today, Fa Sheng, mainly to ask the master to check if you are okay." Father Chen finally had the chance to interject and said.
"Master Youlao, can you go to my room?" After the master and his father nodded in agreement, Chen Fan led the master and his father into the hall. Xiao Qing did not follow him, but excused himself to go back to wash up and went back to his room.
"Ah Chun, pour some tea for the Master and Father." Fortunately, Ah Chun had calmed down at this time and was standing in the hall. He probably had tidied up the house after hearing the voices of the Master and his father in the courtyard. , the room is clean and tidy, but the tea has not been prepared yet. It is estimated that it will not be available for a while.
"Okay, Langjun."
"No, I just drank. There is no need for these red tapes. Come on, let me check Xiao Langjun's pulse first."
The two of them sat down in the living room and began to take pulses for diagnosis and treatment.
"Little Langjun is indeed fine. He just needs to cultivate for a while. I wonder if Xiaolangjun has ever practiced internal strength?"
"No, I hope the mage can give me some advice on how to practice internal strength." Chen Fan had long heard about internal strength, but Xiao Qing had made it clear that he would not teach it. No matter how thick-skinned he was, there was no need to do the impossible. It's no use. Now the Master asked me about internal strength, so I just wanted to ask for advice.
The mage nodded and said: "The practice of internal strength was just a minor way in ancient times. Now due to the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the combat power of practicing internal strength is not inferior to that of cultivation. Therefore, various schools and sects have studied it, but The methods are all different. According to the method of cultivation, our Taoist temple divides the practice of internal strength into six levels: entering tranquility, collecting qi, gathering qi, moving qi, circling the sky, and fetal breath. But as far as I know, the martial arts passed down from ancient times , the internal strength is divided into four levels. It doesn’t matter how you divide it. But no matter whether you are cultivating or practicing internal strength, the first step in my Taoism is to enter tranquility, which is the so-called meditation, which puts people’s minds into a trance state. Morality There is a saying in the sutra, "The Tao is a thing, but it is only a trance. When it is trance, there are images in it; when it is trance, there are things in it." You should understand this first step, and don't worry about the subsequent cultivation for the time being. "
Chen Fan didn't need Cheng Ying to understand this first step, which meant not thinking about anything, letting go of everything, and in a trance, entering a state where the heart was bright and he naturally followed his heart. Understanding is understanding, but what to do?
"Master, this first step presumably involves entering a trance and naturally following one's heart. But how to do it specifically?" Chen Fan asked.
"Yes, yes, your understanding is quite high. As for the specific cultivation method, each family does not teach it to non-core disciples. I-Kuan Xiaolangjun's body has smooth qi and blood, which makes him suitable for practicing internal skills. I wonder if he plans to practice the I-Kuan Kung Fu method. ?" Master Jia asked rhetorically, and at the same time named each family as non-core disciples who would not pass on it.
No matter how stupid Chen Fa was, he understood the meaning of Master Jia's words. He immediately bowed to Master Jia without hesitation, "Master, my disciple Nudu, I am fortunate to meet Master now. He has made me see the greatness of Taoism. I am willing to devote myself to Taoism." , please Master, can you accept me as your disciple!"
"Fa Sheng, today Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism stand side by side, and there is endless debate over who is the authentic Taoist sect. There were two debates between Taoism and Buddhism. As a result, Taoism suffered a huge defeat. Why do you think it is?" Disciple Choi said, A master also chooses a disciple. For Master Jia, he really had the idea of accepting a disciple. Originally, he couldn't get rid of Chen's father's kindness and came to treat illnesses and save people. He had no intention of accepting a disciple. However, after meeting Chen Fan yesterday, he felt that he was smart. Today After checking his pulse, he found that Chen Fan's meridians were unobstructed and he had excellent qualifications for practicing internal martial arts. He was quite moved and inadvertently said, "Do you plan to practice the self-contemplation technique?" He said clearly that he wanted to accept a disciple. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was really worth the price. That's why he said this ask.
Although this question was an impromptu question, it was also a question that had always puzzled Master Jia himself. Because he wanted to test Chen Fan's xinxing and understanding again, he blurted out his question without thinking of any problem. This question has almost become an obsession in Master Jia's heart. He always felt that how could the Taoist sect lose?
Chen Fan is not prepared to live in confusion regarding the issue of Master Jia. Before you decide on a stance, you can avoid offending either side, but once you have decided on a side, you must correct your attitude and stand firm. When faced with major issues of right and wrong, It is more important to speak out, so Chen Fan said without hesitation: "Students believe that a scholar cannot be without great ambition, and a Tao cannot be without promotion." The first half of the sentence is a quote from Confucius, which means that people cannot live without lofty ambitions, and the second half of the sentence is It was Chen Fan who confronted him, meaning that Tao must be vigorously promoted and promoted. Regarding the question involving ideas, in Chen Fan's superficial understanding, no matter what, publicity and promotion is necessary no matter in which era, so the answer to "promote and carry forward" is never wrong.
After a pause, Chen Fan continued: "Taoism comes from China. It teaches people to be selfless and selfless, and to be pure and sincere people. Therefore, they have no distracting thoughts and treat others kindly. Buddhism comes from Yidi and does not educate people in its own territory. , traveled to other people’s lands to preach, so they had to travel around a lot, get familiar with the local customs, and make friends with powerful people everywhere in order to gain a firm foothold. Their intention was to confuse people, and they calculated with intention but no intention. How could Taoism be undefeated? But this can only confuse people for a while. , how can I confuse the whole life, thinking that Taoism is profound and profound, we should take the promotion of Taoism as our own responsibility, and victory is only a matter of time." In the first half, Chen Fan actually didn't understand the Taoist life very well, but he directly referred to Master Jia The words taught just now are definitely not wrong. In the second half of the understanding of Buddhism, I don’t know the definition. But I know that it was introduced from Tianzhu, so I will criticize its non-native culture and imply that it is not my race. The view that one's mind must be different is never wrong. Finally, it must also be said that justice will defeat evil.
Sure enough, these words made Master Jia feel elated when he heard them. However, what Chen Fan never expected was that these words would bring him a real opportunity, allowing him to get a glimpse of the true Taoist temple very early in the future. And obtained a treasure that was of great significance to Chen Fan.
