Shen Xinghe's injuries were either serious or minor.
No matter what his original plan was, now that he heard that his disciple was determined to start refining a high-grade elixir in the past two years, he calmly waited.
In his words, it is his ability to rely on his own disciples.
The master's arrival not only made it easier for Lin Xuanzhi to ask for advice on his daily practice doubts, but it also did not affect his orderly practice.
The master leads me in. Cultivation is personal.
Teachers can preach, teach, and resolve doubts, but they cannot help their disciples in everything.
Even intervening too much can be counterproductive.
"There are thousands of roads, and the road taken by others may not be suitable for you."
After answering a few questions from Lin Xuanzhi, Shen Xinghe couldn't help but nodded slightly and smiled.
Lin Xuanzhi responded clearly when he heard this: "Practice brings true knowledge."
"The same is true for spiritual practice. You have to walk the path carefully to determine whether it suits you or not."
Shen Xinghe nodded in approval: "Others, even teachers and fellow disciples, can only learn from and refer to their paths. Blindly copying and imitating them is a dead end."
"Do you know why?"
Lin Xuanzhi fell into deep thought, and after a long time he slowly spoke: "Nature?"
The smile in Shen Xinghe's eyes grew stronger, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You're not stupid yet."
"Practice is the way to get rid of the false and preserve the true, and to see your true nature."
"And the one who can do this is the real Yuanshen who has broken the barrier between life and death."
"But since the beginning of practice, the theory of true nature and original mind has been with us throughout our lives."
"As you said, true knowledge comes from practice. From the beginning of practice, each person's path, scenery, and experiences are his or her own path of practice."
"Only by experiencing different world events, scenery, and choices can we gradually understand ourselves, break through illusions, and discover our own nature."
Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said: "So even if the heavenly books, resources, and the hearts and minds of the predecessors among the various Dao sects are all lacking, they are still allowed to be practiced by the disciples and tempered by the worldly affairs of the world."
"So it is often said that practice is still within oneself, that is, only by walking through an unknown path personally can one be qualified to talk about the path and nature."
Shen Xinghe smiled happily: "There are countless books in the temple. According to what the predecessors left, they talk about nature and Taoism. Anyone can say it, but it is just a false and empty theory, which is rootless."
Lin Xuanzhi nodded solemnly: "The road is only under your own feet."
Shen Xinghe chuckled and said, "To be honest."
Then he added: "Some roads may seem rugged, with countless thorns and difficult walking, but they may not be dead ends."
“Some roads may appear to be smooth, but may be treacherous and interrupted along the way.”
“No one can see the end at a glance, so they can only move forward alone, recognize themselves on the way, overcome obstacles, and gradually move closer to the end.”
"This is the process of firming up the path and clarifying one's mind."
"And if the path cannot be firm, how can we talk about seeing one's true nature?"
"Therefore, reaching a high-grade elixir is the prerequisite for breaking through the barrier of life and death and achieving the soul."
Lin Xuanzhi felt something in his heart: "Disciple understands. But, I don't know what kind of nature is good?"
Shen Xinghe knocked on Lin Xuanzhi's head and warned: "Under the way of heaven, the nature of many sentient beings is not divided into high and low, only the difference between whether they are in line with themselves or not."
Lin Xuanzhi seemed to have something in mind and said hesitantly: "All living beings have different natures. There is no distinction between good or bad, high or low. As long as they adhere to a path that is consistent with their own nature, they can all hope for spiritual enlightenment?"
"So the master of magic has also chosen a path that suits his own nature?"
Shen Xinghe nodded and smiled: "The authentic Taoist sect refers to our four pure Yang and nine immortal Taoist sects in a narrow sense."
"But in a broad sense, it refers to all those who practice with the purpose of firming up the path and clarifying the mind and nature."
"There are naturally many experts in the path of evil who follow the authentic path of the Dao Sect."
"Evil thoughts, bloodthirsty, plunder, etc. are also in line with the nature and thoughts of many demonic people."
"However, although cultivation is a process of gradually approaching the Tao, the human way is not the way of heaven. Even many high-ranking Taoist kings and Buddhas still have "selfishness" and "human nature." As for the Taoist ancestors, we are beyond our ability to understand them."
After saying that, Shen Xinghe looked at Lin Xuanzhi and nodded: "You are doing well now."
"Whether you are a teacher or a master of bones, even the pure yang level temple master and the ancestor of the will-to-be Taoist king can only give you opinions on your practice."
"Follow your heart, do whatever you want to do, and practice how you want to practice."
"Being able to feel at ease is something that many people would envy."
Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that your disciples will become great demons as they please?"
Shen Xinghe glanced at him and sneered: "If you have that potential as a teacher, I will first let you experience the mystery of the invisible sword energy."
"Your grandpa can't even save you!"
Lin Xuanzhi smiled happily: "My grandfather has become a Dharma minister now. I don't know who is better between you and him."
Shen Xinghe touched his chin and thought, "Your old man is really not bad."
"But don't worry, I can't stop you as a teacher."
The two of them were joking, as if Lin Xuan was about to betray his master at the next moment.
With the addition of Shen Xinghe, the Calabash Temple lost the peace that Lin Xuanzhi had when he was alone.
In his words, it is also his "nature" to be noisy.
After Mo Ming arrived, he and Ao Rui began to fall in love with each other.
The son of the Dragon King was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sound of Ao Rui's feeble resistance and struggle could be heard in the backyard.
Within a few months, he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.
However, none of this bothered Lin Xuanzhi.
More than a year has passed.
In the Calabash Observation Quiet Room.
I saw a brightly lit eight-view palace lantern in Lin Xuan's Niwan Palace, illuminating the chaotic Niwan.
There seemed to be seven colored streams of light melting in the light, quickly integrating into the entire palace lantern.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw the palace lantern suddenly change, turning into a lavender figure with a somewhat solid feeling.
It was Lin Xuanzhi’s soul!
However, the initial formation of the soul is only the beginning.
The spirit was seen sitting on a clay ball, wearing a treasure robe transformed from a large red sky image, and a quietly suspended moon also fell into the hands of the spirit.
Lin Xuanzhi's heart was calm and calm, as if he were in harmony with heaven and earth.
In the mind.
The innate yin and yang true shape diagram rotates rapidly, and under the influence of the soul, the eight scenes of purple energy in the Dantian, limbs, and many large acupoints begin to flow rapidly.
The human body is the furnace, and the Dantian is the courage.
Lin Xuanzhi seemed to be in the unity of heaven and man. Under the Taoist charm of the innate yin and yang true shape diagram, his whole body's magic power began to transform.
You can see that during repeated kneading, the dense purple energy continues to gather and disperse.
Fuzzy but real artistic conceptions such as Shaoyang, Xuanyin, Sun, Taiyin, Liangyi, Innate Yin and Yang, Tai Chi, etc. emerged in Lin Xuanzhi's mind and became clear and can be understood.
The magic power travels around the body, developing the Tao body in more detail and extracting the essence of the human body.
The next moment, a little purple real fire suddenly came into being.
A drop of "jade liquid" flashing purple light in the firelight fell into the Dantian, and then it fell like a curtain of rain.
The purple energy of the eight scenes decreased rapidly, and the jade liquid slowly accumulated.
The soul is first formed and the jade liquid is born.
Shen Xinghe looked at the reflected purple light and couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said in a playful tone: "It seems that my role as master is still useful? It can save the apprentice more than half a year of work."
