The young man in sackcloth actually had a very vicious vision. The first time he took action, he targeted the Qingqiu around Qi Jingzhi's heart.
This Qiu Qiu is a concrete representation of several techniques practiced by Qi Jingzhi. Although it is extremely important, it is not part of his practice, so it can be easily obtained by the opponent.
The young man in Mai took action for the second time, aiming at the collar where the authority of Ruo Mu Dao Ling and Ri Rui condensed.
The power of these two things is naturally not small, but Qi Jingzhi only obtained them for a short time, and the connection with his own mind is relatively shallow. Even if the spiritual Ruomu seedlings resisted spontaneously, they did not cause much trouble to the other party.
As for the iron wings behind Qi Jingzhi's heart, they are the spiritual embryos of the crane's wings. Although they are also external objects, tracing back to their origins, they are the treasures sacrificed by Feng Zixu, the master of Xuandu Temple. Not only are they integrated with The inheritance of Xianyu Mountain is incomparably consistent with Qi Jingzhi's practice, and it is closely related to the robes and crane shoes he wears, becoming one and the same.
The robe worn by Qi Jingzhi's heart is derived from the haze feather robe and "Dancing Crane Picture". The two colors of green and red on it are intertwined with the Tao Yun of pine, cypress, armor wood and heart candle and dinghuo. The crane shoes on his feet are made of anger. The green-eyed crane transformed from the heart and bones of the angry crane to the heart and mind, and was a small Tao fruit obtained through hard work along the way. It is actually the foundation of the whole body's practice, and it is also the most precious thing on the road.
The commoner boy tore at the iron wings and immediately moved his whole body, activating the two fundamental objects, the cassock and the crane shoes, finally awakening Qi Jingzhi from his soul-crushing confusion.
Facing Qi Jingzhi's angry questioning, the clothed young man whose wrist was tightly grasped was shocked. He couldn't help but smile, his tone full of confusion: "Why have you forgotten again, I am you!"
"oh?"
This time, Qi Jingzhi just blinked, and his eyes returned to clarity.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly in a cold arc: "You just said that you have worked hard for me here for sixteen years, so why have I never seen you before?"
Seeing the increasingly blazing fire in Qi Jingzhi's eyes, the clothed boy's words became a little hurried: "You were like a blind man sitting in a boat before you completed your cultivation. You only know that the boat is flying, and the sun goes thousands of miles away, but you support me. The people in the boat didn’t see or hear anything, and they didn’t know anything about my hard work over the past sixteen years!”
"Qi Jingzhi, I am your innate Taoist nature, and I am also the boatman who takes you out of the sea of suffering and reaches the other shore! You and I are originally one. In the past, we could not see each other in this place, so we could not recognize each other. Now we have experienced We finally meet again after sixteen years. It is only natural that I take a few common things from you to pay for the ship's fare! If you still have some conscience, let me go quickly!"
The commoner boy struggled hard as he spoke, but he couldn't break free no matter what.
"Since you have a good background, especially as a boat man, why do you only have this little strength?"
Qi Jingzhi's eyes were as bright as fire, and he stared at the boy in cloth, and sneered: "It's only natural? If I follow your wishes, it's not mine now?"
"You mentioned Master's teachings earlier, about being at a loss when getting Qi, touching everything, and about one thought being different and confusing delusions. These are indeed Master's exact words, but you just missed one sentence. That's what happened. It is extremely easy to attract Yin Demon, the seventh one among the ten demons that block the path!"
Hearing the word "yin demon", the commoner boy's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately forced a smile and said: "It's just a yin demon, you really can't do anything!"
"Now that you and I know each other, I might as well tell you that I am not only your boatman, but I also have a sword with a hundred refinements, which can work with you to destroy the six thieves in your heart, so that the six roots are pure, the Bodhi is luxuriant, the mirror stand is clean, and the Not stained by the six dusts!"
As the young man in sackcloth uttered these words, a sword suddenly appeared above his head, with a dazzling cold light and five colors.
Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the sword, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity and familiarity in his heart. At the same time, he instinctively felt a warning sign. He felt the sword's energy was cold and went straight into his heart.
He couldn't help frowning and asked: "I know the Bodhi Tree and the Mirror Stand, and I have also heard about the six roots and six dusts. But what are the six thieves? What is the name of this hundred-refined sword?"
Seeing that he seemed to have frightened Qi Jingzhi, the young man in sackcloth relaxed his expression and became a little proud again: "You have just entered the right path of cultivation, so you are inevitably short-sighted, so please listen carefully!"
“If you want to touch the heaven and earth and understand the great truth when you are alive, you rely on your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, which correspond to the sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and thought. Six."
"There are six types of dust that are connected to the six roots, namely color, sound, smell, taste, touch, and law. Dust means pollution because it can pollute emotional consciousness."
"The six roots are connected with the six dusts, which can give rise to all kinds of delusions and discriminations about good and bad, beauty and ugliness, superiority and inferiority, nobleness and inferiority, etc., so the six dusts are also called 'six delusions'; they can give rise to all kinds of attachments and troubles, which can weaken good intentions, and They are called the 'six thieves'; they can hijack all merits, virtues, laws and wealth, so they are called the 'six thieves'."
"The six thieves each pursue their own selfish desires, plunder Dharma wealth, and harm good nature. They are the formidable enemies of monks on the road. They each have their own names. They are called the eyes that see joy, the ears that hear anger, the nose that smells love, the tongue that tastes thinking, and the eyes that see joy. Desire for opinions and worries for oneself.”
Every time the boy in sackcloth uttered a name, the so-called hundred-refined sword above his head trembled imperceptibly.
Qi Jingzhi saw this and couldn't help but nodded: "That's it!"
Seeing this, the young man in sackcloth thought that Qi Jingzhi had finally convinced him, and couldn't help but look happy.
He coughed lightly, then suddenly looked solemn and serious, and shouted loudly: "Qi Jingzhi, please listen to my advice!"
"The human heart has great desires, and the six desires are all thieves. You should not be hasty in getting rid of thieves. If you are in haste, you will be attacked by the enemy. You have a strong temperament. If you don't have my help, you will definitely be unable to win. If you are unable to win, the disaster will only happen in an instant!"
After hearing this, Qi Jingzhi finally couldn't help laughing loudly: "What a man with great desires in his heart, and all six desires are thieves!"
He laughed and let go of the Maid boy's wrist.
The young man in linen clothes showed a look of joy on his face. Suddenly, a bright moon rose in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, I saw a bright mirror hanging high and a brilliant clear light falling down.
The boy in linen clothes was caught off guard and was covered by the moonlight. His body was as stiff as a tree and he could no longer move. He could not make any sound. His eloquent tongue suddenly became a decoration.
Qi Jingzhi stopped laughing and said leisurely: "Return your heart to the right place, aspire to maintain peace, forget about being pure, and gradually enter the immortal sect. Cut off the six roots and the six dusts. You can't see the things you see, and you can't hear the sounds. , peaceful and tranquil, pure and subtle, empty and bright, containing the essence, the six transformations of innocence, made by refining Qi of the Supreme God!"
When he recited the so-called method of escaping tribulation by closing the orifice taught by Deng Fuqing, the five-color Bailianjianjian on the head of the young man in linen wailed and lost its color, and it no longer had the sharpness and coldness it had before.
"The insights you just made are quite impressive! Fortunately, you reminded me, and I suddenly remembered that I was taught by an elder two methods for overcoming the tribulation of confusion."
Qi Jingzhi looked at the frozen boy in sackcloth, with a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes: "The first one is what I chanted just now, and it is the inheritance of the Taoist sect. The second one comes from the Taoist tradition of Sheng Jiang, and the key is to cultivate one's mind with a correct mind. "
"The way to rectify your mind is to recognize the fears, joys, and sorrows in your heart, and to be absent-minded."
“With absent-mindedness, one can turn a blind eye without seeing, hear without hearing, and eat without knowing the taste.”
Every time Qi Jingzhi said something, the face of the boy in sackcloth became visibly grayer, and his figure became visibly illusory.
"In addition, in my master's sect, there are also cranes holding their wings and being as open-minded as a valley, which penetrates the heart and embraces the spiritual enlightenment and righteousness of the world."
"It's just that I never thought that as I progressed bravely and cultivated deeper and deeper, the five colors, five tones, and five flavors that I had no longer paid attention to would quietly give birth to six thieves, and even attract a greedy and cunning person like you. The devil is really as good as the devil!"
"You just said that to kill the six thieves in your heart, you need a sword that has been refined for a long time. It just so happens that I also have a precious sword here. Today I will test the blade with you, the Yin Demon!"
As Qi Jingzhi's words fell, the young tiger lying at his feet could no longer hold it in any longer and jumped up suddenly. Its mouth was as wide as a basin of blood, and without any explanation, it swallowed the young man in sackcloth with his knife. .
The cub fell back to Qi Jingzhi's feet, shaking his head and feeling very proud. He sneezed several times in a row, and spurted out a green hornet and two small red and green snakes from his nostrils.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi felt as if a huge boulder weighing on his heart had been removed, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.
He let out a breath of turbid air, and while taking back the Qingqiu and the collar, he silently recited the words in the "Qingyu Secret Scroll" in his heart.
"The heart is the home of God. Nature depends on being, and destiny depends on being."
"The mind is the master of creation. The wonderful principles govern all things."
"Secret Scroll of Qingyu", the secret scripture of Xianyu Mountain, was refined into the wings of cranes by the master of Xuandu Temple. In order to lay a solid foundation and accumulate perfection as soon as possible, Qi Jingzhi ascended the spiritual platform and recited and understood it every day since he came down from the mountain. Not daring to slack off even a little bit, I was moved by the scene at this moment, but I recalled the "Heart is the King" mentioned in it.
"The reason why people are haggard and withered, who makes it happen? It's the heart! All things are gathered together, one thought ends and the other continues, and there is no time for it in the whole day."
"The heart is in the middle, but the two eyes, the two kidneys, and the three orifices belong to it, and they cannot all use it wonderfully. The reason for its wonderful function is that the spirit obeys its orders, the energy obeys its orifices, and the essence obeys its call. If the spirit obeys its orders, the mind should not wander outside, and the spirit will be hidden within. If the spirit obeys its orifices, the spirit will be harmonious, the spirit will be harmonious, the shape will be harmonious, and the form will be harmonious, and the heaven and earth will be harmonious."
"That's right. If you want to get back, don't ask far away. Don't worry about taking a look. The clouds will gather and let the golden crow see. A little spiritual light will make your eyes clear."
After reciting this silently, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but smile knowingly. He raised his foot and took several steps into the void in front of him. He chanted loudly: "The clouds will be released and the golden crow will be seen. A little spiritual light will make your eyes clear!"
The next moment, the dark void where he stood responded like this, with some mysterious changes happening faintly.
If before this, Qi Jingzhi's state of mind was in a dark and lightless room, now he was in a vast and deep valley.
The so-called crane holding its wings and being as open-minded as a valley are not only methods of entraining and storing qi, but are also applicable to the practice of mental health!
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but feel excited. He subconsciously looked around, only to see that the surroundings were still pitch black, and he couldn't tell what was up and down. However, he felt that his heart was extremely bright, and there was even an extremely strong, real and clear light of enlightenment. , pointing to a shadowy tower in the depths of the void.
At the same time, Qi Jingzhi heard a deafening roar.
The roaring tiger valley is almost as powerful as thunder.
Qi Jingzhi looked down and saw the tiger cub standing upright before his eyes, transforming into a little monk wearing tiger skin monk clothes and wearing a five-color dagger at his waist.
"Ouch!"
The little monk grinned and roared again, which sounded crisp and without any power at all.
He was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the changes in his body. He touched the short knife at his waist with his small hand, and his face was filled with surprise.
"Hu Chan has met my elder brother!"
Looking at the little monk who finally came to his senses with a look of admiration on his face, Qi Jingzhi responded with a smile, his heart moved.
When he first achieved the state of mind, he had carefully sensed the young tiger at his feet and found that Qi Huchan was not so much the sword spirit of the Niuerjian Dao, but rather a reflection of his own spirituality, Qi Jingzhi.
However, Qi Jingzhi once again looked at the young monk who called him Big Brother. Although the other monk was still full of attachment to him, and they were still spiritually connected and extremely close, Qi Huchan was being tempered by Tian Lei at this moment. After devouring a cunning evil demon and a six-thieves sword, he looked more and more like an independent sentient being.
After all, there are differences between weapon spirits and living beings.
The birth process of Qi Huchan is indeed very different from the refining methods of the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth, the Wings of Crane Foot and the Long Sword of Jianrenshou. It is more like the transformation of a sharp sword into a spirit monster.
Therefore, Qi Jingzhi raised the corner of his mouth and curiously asked his younger brother: "Hu Chan, since your spirit has transformed from a tiger into a human, can the external body also transform into a human?"
Qi Huchan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with great expectation: "I'll go out and give it a try!"
Before he finished speaking, the young monk wearing tiger skin robes and a five-color dagger took a step forward and disappeared.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi narrowed his eyes and considered whether he should install a door and a lock on the deep valley in his heart. Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting people come and go?
At this point, what else doesn't he understand? The desire represented by the evil demon just now couldn't be more obvious, and it pointed directly at the great desire in his heart to climb the spiritual platform and go further on the road.
As long as Qi Jingzhi still maintains this bravery and diligence in the future, things like today will happen again, and as his cultivation continues to grow, most of the external demons he can attract will become more weird and cruel.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi could not help but have a deeper understanding of the difficulties and dangers of the road.
"Master said that I advanced too quickly and had an unstable foundation, so he did not allow me to climb the spiritual platform rashly. It was indeed not unreasonable. I have not yet climbed onto the spiritual platform, let alone opened the door to Wuji. However, with the desire in my heart, I have accidentally been contaminated by all kinds of things. The evil spirit actually attracted the evil spirits that blocked the way!"
"It can be seen that impure Qi and overflowing desires are really harmful, and I will take them as a warning in the future. If we encounter a scene like today where spirits and monsters gather together again, we must seal our hearts and guard the doors to avoid being harmed by evil spirits. Evil spirits may take advantage of you, and in addition, you must always observe your mind and examine your thoughts, and be on guard against burning desires that may hinder your practice.”
"Hey, Master also said that once you encounter evil demons when your cultivation level is low, you can only kill yourself with a knife and kill all those demonic thoughts. Tiger Chan is just a spiritual treasure blade. This time it seems that the child is The tiger swallowed the demon, but in fact it was still killing the demon with a sword, which can be said to be a half-hearted attack."
In the blink of an eye, Qi Jingzhi imitated his younger brother's appearance and transformed into a green-feathered crane with angry eyes. He was illuminated by the ding of heart candles burning in his eyes. He immediately spread his wings and spread his wings with the thoughts in his heart. Based on the mysterious induction, he flew towards the tower hidden deep in the void.
"When great desires arise, it is better to remove them than to block them. Now I have a deeper understanding of the practice of mind in "The Secret Scroll of Green Feathers". Even if I cannot go on stage today, I still want to take a look at what that spiritual platform looks like!"
