Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's heart was shocked: "For no reason, Deng Fuqing should not deceive me with this kind of thing. But since I have been practicing the "Immortal Feather Sutra", my cultivation has been progressing very quickly. The gestation and achievement of the bone were also extremely smooth, how did it ever get anyone’s permission?”
"Huh? It can't be said that there is no such thing... My "Immortal Feather Sutra" comes from Lu Yunzi's residual thoughts. The residual thoughts are hidden in the soul mask. This soul mask is actually a soul corpse refined from a small bronze mirror. If you say Whoever gives permission, I’m afraid it’s just that mirror!”
"If this is really the case, the Immortal Feather Mountain mentioned by Deng Fuqing must have a tight gate. If I, a person who slipped through the door and picked the lock, met the Xuandu Temple Master, I would probably end up in a miserable state... The immortal throws his shoes and steps on the crane to fly up. What is hidden in it? How much secret?"
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the green horse tied to the old camphor tree to hide the strange look on his face.
Jiao Yulang heard and saw that something was wrong, but he just followed the Qi family brother in silence.
"Huh? I see you are quite a smart guy. You won't be so angry if I expose you to your face, right?"
Deng Fuqing immediately stepped forward with his sword in the air, and once again stopped at Qi Jingzhi's side: "I'm confused, considering the relationship between me and Xuandu Guan, what else do you have to avoid in front of me? Don’t tell me that you have never heard of me and Bitaojian before!”
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's thoughts started to change rapidly. While untying the reins, he turned to look at the old wood carving: "Senior, whether you believe it or not, I am just a lucky person who has entered the path of spiritual practice and does not even know about the calamity of being deluded. It’s just Yehu Zen!”
Being reminded like this, Deng Fuqing was obviously startled. She also recalled what she had seen on the boat earlier, and her eyes on Qi Jingzhi became strange.
He thought for a while and finally shook his head: "That's it! I have no control over what plans Master Xuandu has! Hey, it doesn't make much difference whether they are raised in captivity or free-range on the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain!"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi felt relieved, got on his horse, and headed towards the official road with Jiao Yulang.
He turned to look at the old wooden carving who was still following him unhurriedly: "Senior, is there anything else you can do?"
Deng Fuqing nodded matter-of-factly: "Since you are a disciple of Xianyu Mountain, even if you don't know your identity, you still have to know me! I have a deep connection with Xianyu Mountain. According to your seniority, you should call me uncle." !」
Hearing this, even though Qi Jingzhi was extremely careful, he still couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He didn't even have a master on the road of cultivation, but now he had an uncle.
Jiao Yulang on the side chuckled: "Senior Deng, how can there be any reason in the world to force people to recognize their uncle by pressing their heads?"
The old woodcarving man immediately glared at the little kid and said, "I taught him the method of closing the spiritual orifice, and I also brought you two out of that ghost ship safely. I didn't ask him to worship me as his teacher. How could I even do that?" Can’t you even be called a master?”
Jiao Yulang was dumbfounded, rolled his eyes, and shook his head: "I have never seen any sect train disciples like this. When a master, he only leaves behind the remaining scriptures and never shows his face, let alone talk about it. Uncle's fighting skills brought disaster to my nephew, and he was given a useless method of closing the body as a remedy, but he was still proud of himself and thought he had done it!"
"Not to mention anything else, even the Caojiang Water God, whom we have never met before, invited us brothers to drink and eat meat. Oh... He also gave my brother a few words of real methods of overcoming calamities! If you follow me, senior will not say anything about giving my brother a gift. Three or five flying swords as a meeting gift, how about passing down the "Immortal Feather Sutra"?"
Deng Fuqing was startled when he heard this, and then said angrily: "I only have this flying sword. I brought it from my womb. Where can I find three or five of them? Besides, I just have an old relationship with Xianyu Mountain, and If we don't come from the same school, how can we understand the "Immortal Feather Sutra"?"
He paused, then turned to look at Qi Jingzhi, and said angrily: "Although this kid's provoking method is poor, I am a very particular person! The Lord of Cao Jiang obtained the "Flying Dragon Calling the Rain Book", so he said that you two might It is his luck and luck that I came to Daqi and finally transformed into arms, and I happened to meet you, an old disciple, so it may not be destiny!"
"Not to mention anything else, if you hadn't suddenly been robbed by the gods and interrupted my fight with the Lord of Cao Jiang, if I wanted to get my wish, I would have to spend some time with you.
Hands and feet... Well, I can satisfy your request at my own discretion! Well, except for the cultivation techniques. After all, you are a disciple of Xianyu Mountain. I can't teach you randomly and ruin the plan of Xuandu Temple Master. "
Qi Jingzhi was surprised. He really didn't expect that Zhu Yihou and Deng Fuqing, two great masters in the third realm, valued the so-called destiny so much. It was obvious that he and Jiao Yulang just happened to meet each other. Could it be that there was something going on here? Can't?
He thought carefully and then said: "Then please ask senior to explain to me the various realms of practice in detail. Just talk about the fundamentals. There is no need to involve the branches and leaves, and there is no need for specific techniques."
Hearing this, Deng Fuqing couldn't help but look strangely in his eyes: "Think carefully, it's rare for me to show kindness, but there won't be a shop like this after passing this village!"
Even Jiao Yulang on the side was a little dumbfounded. This was an opportunity he had risked to gain. He also advised: "Brother, why don't you think about it again? My heart is still young, and my family doesn't allow me to aim too high. There are many things I haven't done yet." I’ll teach you in detail, but if you’re only in a spiritual realm, you really don’t need to waste such a good opportunity!”
Qi Jingzhi shook his head and smiled brightly at the little boy: "Senior Deng is a master in the third realm. He must be in a high position and have many insights and insights that others cannot match. Although you are a direct descendant of the Jiao family, I am an unknown person. How can it be difficult for me? How about I ask your grandfather to teach me in person?"
"Not to mention that compared to the military noble family, Senior Deng's orthodoxy is obviously more suitable for the "Immortal Feather Classic", and may even be more suitable than the inheritance of all the famous families in Daqi. This is why there is no such shop after this village. .”
Jiao Yulang was dumbfounded. He had also heard the few superficial discussions between Deng Fuqing and Zhu Yihou. Jiang Qi's lineage of the Holy King and Deng Fuqing's lineage were similar in many places, but the differences between the two The difference is real, not to mention that it is really unlikely that he will ask his grandfather.
Seeing that he was silent, Qi Jingzhi turned to Deng Fuqing and said sternly: "I don't know what happened to Xianyu Mountain, so let's put it aside. Senior and I met by chance. Although we were affected by the fighting before, it was also senior's unintentional mistake. , and you have already received compensation, you really shouldn’t push yourself further.”
"However, this junior has been cultivating so far with the help of a broken scripture. Most of the time, he has stumbled around and fumbled around. Fortunately, he has achieved success, but he knows it and doesn't know why. Perhaps among those big sects, all realms of practice are easily accessible. The ordinary knowledge is what I need most urgently right now. If senior is willing to explain a few things, Qi Jingzhi would be grateful!"
Hearing this, Deng Fuqing couldn't help but laugh, nodded slightly with a proud look on his face and said, "You're a kid whose talent is second to none. Your sobriety and determination alone are extremely rare."
He pondered for a while and then said: "Well, I am now the third great realm. I have not personally experienced the subsequent realms, so I don't want to mislead others. I will explain the first three great realms to you in return. Tonight, thousands of miles apart, we meet by chance."
As he said that, he glanced at Jiao Yulang, who had a troubled look on his face, and said leisurely: "I am in a good mood tonight. I am driving a sheep and herding two sheep! Besides, you have already practiced the Taiyi lineage. The nine-color spiritual light that illuminates the darkness and exorcises sins is still faintly left in the body at this moment. Compared with this, what does it mean to listen to my family's opinions? Can it destroy the military foundation passed down by your family?"
Hearing this, Jiao Yulang was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently, and his expression returned to normal.
Qi Jingzhi turned around on horseback, bowed his hands to Deng Fuqing in salute, and solemnly said: "Senior, please give me some advice!"
Deng Fuqing nodded and said solemnly: "I belong to the Taoist sect. From the perspective of my lineage, my destiny belongs to me and does not belong to heaven and earth. I do not listen or see or know. I have no origin as a god. I have been with the Tao for a long time. I am To rule as one with the heaven and earth, and to maintain one's own roots. This is the foundation and path of our monks' practice."
"This is a bit loud, so just listen to it. Let's talk about the first state of cultivation. The monks train their minds and bodies to strengthen their lives. They pay attention to the inner spirit of the gods and the external training of the Tao body to strengthen their lives. Therefore, it is called the state of strong life. . Saint Jiang Daotong calls it bone refining and strong life. Although the names are slightly different, the inner meaning is the same."
"Refining the Taoist body externally, or training the muscles and bones externally, is nothing more than martial arts, tempering the body, and taking food. It is said that the bones are straightened and the tendons are soft, the qi and blood flow freely, the tendons grow one inch, and the life span is extended by ten years. The Taoist body of muscles and bones is the result of cultivation The foundation, the treasure that transcends the world
Raft, there's nothing to say about it. "
"As for the inner spirit, or the inner nourishment of the heart and bones, it is mostly done through reading scriptures, meditating, walking, etc. The poem says, "The Master advised me to nourish my heart and bones, and not to be filled with worldly things." He also said, "I heard that a strong man focuses on his heart. Bones, the ancients walked three times without destroying them." This is what we call it! "
Deng Fuqing paused, then suddenly fixed his eyes on Qi Jingzhi, and said with a smile: "There are no certain rules for the success of the heart and soul. Some people who are born with profound moral principles may have enlightenment while eating and drinking, and thus open up their spiritual awareness. , stepping into the door of cultivation, even if you want to polish it a little more, it won’t work.”
"Or if you are a lazy person with a strong background, relying on the talent you brought in your mother's womb, and don't want to waste time on this long-term grind, you can ask your elders to help. There are many shortcuts such as telepathy, receiving a basket, and praying to the gods. Walk."
Qi Jingzhi knew that the other party was referring to something, so he couldn't help but frown, and thought to himself: "I seem to be able to do both of reading scriptures, meditating, and walking. If I focus on walking to kill evil spirits, it would be too smooth. It is my natural way. Is it because of my deep sexual nature, or did the small bronze mirror replace the sect master and lead me to take a shortcut?"
Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Senior, if a monk achieves sudden enlightenment or a teacher helps, will the foundation of such an achievement be unstable?"
"This is natural. As we say, every gain must come with a loss. For example, after opening up spiritual awareness, a monk will see a new world in front of him. He will often be confused, especially those with a weak heart. If he cannot survive, he will naturally have to be protected by his elders. , what great achievements can such delicate flowers that cannot withstand the wind and rain achieve?"
Deng Fuqing nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Just like you kid, no matter which category you belong to, at least this catastrophe of confusion is much more severe than that of those monks with a solid foundation. On the contrary, if you climb to the top of the mountain step by step, your mind will It must be tough, and its ability to withstand the five colors, five flavors and five sounds must be stronger, so why be afraid of a few floating clouds covering your eyes?"
"But then again, as long as they have withstood the catastrophe of confusion, such monks, who may have extraordinary talents or profound backgrounds, can build themselves up in the second realm, reflect on themselves, and then go back to make up for the foundation one by one, and become worthy of the title. Getting twice the result with half the effort is not necessarily any worse than the blind man's foolish effort of touching the elephant and self-study and enlightenment."
"In fact, many times, it is these monks who have been born with a good pregnancy, who are very likely to move faster and faster until the teacher can no longer provide help and their own talents have reached their peak. That is the time to compete with their peers on things like xinxing and diligence. .”
Qi Jingzhi nodded in understanding, but there was no resentment in his heart.
Although he comes from a humble background and has no help in cultivation, he still thinks that he has some talent in cultivation. He also has a very magical small bronze mirror. He is not necessarily worse than those disciples of high-name families, but it is his own character. It still needs polishing, and the knowledge is even more lacking. If it is not made up for in time, if you encounter disasters such as the Catastrophe of Confusion in the future without any reason, you may be in danger of death.
Deng Fuqing waited for the young man to digest it for a moment before continuing: "Besides Shengjiang, other Taoist traditions have other methods for practicing internal refining, but they all work in the same way and are within the same boundaries."
"For example, I have never been to the Ji clan's kingdoms, but I have heard that most of the Ji clan's traditions refer to the heart as the inner scene, and they pay attention to incorporating the outer scene into the heart. Compared with Zhujiang, they pay more attention to the imitation and communication of heaven and earth. Therefore, in the second stage when heaven and man interact, the progress is faster and the power is more powerful."
Qi Jingzhi nodded when he heard this. This senior Deng is indeed a man who has traveled thousands of miles, and his knowledge is indeed broad. As for the so-called inner scene of the Taoism, it reminds him of the ancient cultivation method of the Jiang Shennong family and the "Bow" of the Demon-Suppressing Academy. "Gengpu" is indeed the same.
Jiao Yulang on the side curled his lips and couldn't help but ask: "According to what senior said, is it possible that Zhu Jiang's moral integrity is not as good as that of Zhu Ji?"
The old woodcarver laughed and shook his head: "A ruler is shorter and an inch is longer. The advantage gained by the inner scene is only in the second level of interaction between heaven and man. After cultivating to the third level of wandering spirit control, no matter whether it is through shape transformation or After the calamity, I still tempered my Tao seeds, but I have to envy the tenacity and stability of Jiang's heart and bones."
"Speaking of which, when it comes to spiritual practice, those bald donkeys in Buddhism are very shrewd, and they are more willing to absorb the strengths of other sects. They combine the inner beauty of the concubines with the strengths of the hearts and bones of the jiang, and pay attention to opening up the blessed land of love and planting the path of the heart beads. kind."
"The so-called Love Field and Blessed Land is based on Zhu Ji's knowledge of inner scenery. "The Book of Rites" says that people's love is also the field of the Holy King, and they cultivate it through cultivating rituals. Chen Yi
Sow them, teach them to cultivate them, be benevolent to gather them, broadcast music to comfort them. After learning Buddhism, he replaced it with Buddhist principles, claiming that "the seed of Tao will be cultivated in idleness, and the medicine will be hoeed in the field of love." "
"As for the seed of the heart bead, Buddhism calls it the seed of the Buddha's fruit. It is said that "the spiritual light shines alone, is far away from the roots and dust, the mind is untainted, and it is self-perfected." "Brilliant; the moon is sad and the flowers are shining brightly in the sky." snort! No matter what they say, no discerning person would know that this is a variant of the heart root and heart bone! "
"When you meet in the future, don't be deceived by those bald donkeys with brilliant tongues! Whether it is the Holy King's orthodoxy or the Taoist method, they are all full of supernatural powers and very mysterious, so there is no need to belittle yourself and seek from others!"
