Chapter) Discussion

"That's right, Uncle Yu, you reminded me that this is the most succinct and clearest theory of practice!"

The young man spoke proudly, full of confidence: "I said before, what is the most important thing in the realm of the gods?"

Yu Ci jokingly replied: "Master Ye said that the state of psychic power is for monks to clarify the structure of the soul, purify the nature of the soul, and improve the level of the soul until they refine the spirit of Yin and travel out of the body. As for what is the key here? , and ask Master Ye for guidance."

Ye Tu had a slight blush on his face, but he could still hold on. He slapped his hands and said, "The most important thing in the realm of supernatural power is the structure of the soul. Without this, all the refining and yin gods are all confused. Today, I will definitely Explain the structure of the soul clearly!"

With confidence in mind, Ye Tu sat cross-legged on the ground, motioning for Yu Ci to sit beside him, and then said: "I said before that the structure of the soul is 'one is real, two is empty, and three'. It sounds weird, but it is actually very easy to understand."

He took a breath, and slid his fingers across the circle area: "This is the consciousness."

Then he moved his finger back to the broken stone in the center of the circle: "This is Yuanshen."

"The primordial spirit is for innate light, and for the innate 'nature', all practice is to go back to the source and pursue its innate supernatural powers; and knowing the gods is thinking and awareness, which is what we think, feel, and observe. Mainly for daily use. There is a saying in Daoist scriptures that the consciousness is hidden and the primordial spirit is out, to discuss the relationship between the two... To put it bluntly, isn’t it like this?”

His fingers clicked on the graph twice, and Yu Ci nodded repeatedly.The relationship between the Consciousness God and the Primordial Spirit is complex and cumbersome to say, and thousands of words can't explain it all, but when this figure is put out, it can be visualized at once.It can be seen that Ye Tu really worked hard.

"Yuanshen and Zhishen are the two ultimate concepts that are relatively co-existing in the structure of the soul, that is, the 'real two'. But why do we need to add the 'principal one' in front? Here we must understand a concept, that is , What is the meaning of the so-called deliberation and awareness of the god of consciousness."

Ye Tu raised his head and stared into Yu Ci's eyes: "Look, I drew a circle at the beginning, which represents the perfect mental state in an ideal state. And how did this 'perfect' come about? In the case of interference from external objects, the projection of the innate perfect state of the "primordial spirit". At the beginning of the soul, there is no difference between knowing the god and the primordial spirit. , "Yuanshen" is the foundation, the only, and the point of essence.

"But in fact, this state of spiritual perfection is impossible to achieve. From the moment we are conceived in the mother's body by receiving the blood of our parents, we are always affected by the external environment. These influences are perceptible and imperceptible. , There are memorable ones, and some non-rememberable ones, including any kindness, malice, good deeds, bad deeds, etc. from childhood to present, every stumbling and acceptance...

After saying so much in one breath, Ye Tu also stretched his arms to the maximum, as if encircling an unbearable heavy object, and then pressed down all at once, and dubbed by the way:

"Bang!

"In this way, the perfect circle becomes imperfect! But every time there is a force that makes the 'circle' become 'unround', our instinct will give it a corresponding counterforce, hoping that it will return to perfection. After a period of time Afterwards, practice makes perfect, and a whole set of responses to external changes will be formed. This set of responses is the foundation of our conduct as a human being. It is acquired, that is, acquired thinking and ideas, that is, "knowledge of God"..."

Speaking of this, there was another thunderous roar in the sky rift valley, and the surrounding creatures were a little commotion, but Yu Ci didn't care, this happened too many times last night.Ye Tu was completely immersed in his own world, he didn't notice it at all, he just said it dancing:

"One more thing to understand. Every force exerted by the outside world will leave traces in our consciousness. Some we can feel, and some can't. Those things that are difficult to perceive, seemingly insignificant, are actually the total amount of our consciousness. Dozens or hundreds of times the information that can be realized, accumulated over decades, has already become a scale, and it is far beyond the scale we can perceive."

He moved his hands, almost sticking to the outer arc, and drew another circle, forming a group of concentric circles with the previous figure: "The thin outer circle is what we need every day. I call the ordinary thinking and awareness "explicit consciousness", and the inner part is called "hidden consciousness". The combination of the two can be called the real "knowledge of God".

"The information in hidden consciousness is incredibly huge, and it also contains very huge power. There are emotions and desires that we have accumulated for many years, there are wild instincts left by our ancestors, and there are even more mysterious blood inheritance. It is the "talent" and "aptitude" that is often said in practice, and it is the potential that we have accumulated all year round, so..."

The young man slapped his palms heavily on the concentric circles: "This is a complete 'illustration'. You see, the primordial spirit resides inside, while the consciousness resides outside; the hidden consciousness resides in the deep, and the apparent consciousness resides in the shallow, forming a With a clear three-layer structure, all the cultivation in the realm of the gods can be expressed with it. Here!"

Ye Tu's index finger started from the center of the circle, drew two lines, and protruded out of the two circles.

Yu Ci was startled for a moment, then slapped his thigh again, already matching his own practice experience: "Separate consciousness and transform thoughts!"

Ye Tu laughed very happily: "That's right, after the cultivation of the 'mortal customs', the soul gradually grows stronger. In fact, it is the primordial soul in the deepest part of the soul that really grows stronger. When it is strong enough to a certain level, it can penetrate the consciousness and take The spiritual power comes out, and it can also actively perceive the information from the outside. We call the former "spiritual thoughts", and the latter "spiritual consciousness". The two are collectively referred to as "spiritual will". "

Hearing this, Yu Ci suddenly realized.

The soul system is like this: primordial spirit and consciousness are its basic constituent elements; consciousness can be divided into manifest consciousness and hidden consciousness; primordial spirit, hidden consciousness and manifest consciousness form the basic structure of the soul from the inside to the outside.

As for Divine Sense, Divine Consciousness, and the collective name of the two, "Divine Will", they are all concepts derived from the Primordial Spirit itself, and are just a branch level.

In this way, the priority and the secondary are separated.

His reaction was the best reward for Ye Tu. The young man waved his hand in a demonstrative manner, his fair face glowing red with excitement. Arrows, converging inwards:

"The next goal is to expand the controllable thoughts inward as much as possible, and transform the elusive hidden consciousness into the controllable manifest consciousness as much as possible. The key link of practice.

"You must know that there are too many emotions and desires hidden in the hidden consciousness. The good and the bad are mixed together, and it can be said to be the dirtiest corner of the human heart. When practicing, doom often arises from this, which is the origin of the demons. Adding purification, not to mention that it is difficult to improve the cultivation base, even if you really go up, the foundation is still weak, and sooner or later there will be a day of collapse."

Speaking of this, Ye Tu shook his head: "This shows the importance of a good longevity technique. Ordinary persuasion and thoughtfulness, guidance and breathing, at most, is to practice to the point of differentiation and thought, But from the step of 'purification', there must be a qualified longevity technique as a guide. Every sect in the practice world has its own unique method of 'purification'. Uncle Yu is a casual cultivator, which is really embarrassing. "

Of course Yu Ci knew his problem, but he wouldn't show it in front of Ye Tu, he just smiled and said, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, who can say for sure about chance?"

Ye Tu thought for a while, and said: "How about this, Uncle Yu and I will go back to the East China Sea together. Our Banshan Island also has a special skill in longevity. Uncle's swordsmanship is so good, I will go back and talk to the master and let him take it. Wouldn't it be great for you to take it under the sect?"

The young man became more and more excited as he talked, and Yu Ci was also a little moved, but he didn't have much hope.Although Ye Tu has not seriously introduced his own sect, but from what he occasionally reveals, he can feel that there are many Ye clans on the half-mountain island, and there are very few foreign surnames. If you want to join such a place, Not easy.

So he just smiled, and pulled Ye Tu back to the topic: "I'll talk about the longevity technique later, you just arrived at 'Xinlian', what's next?"

Ye Tu became excited again because of his own idea, and his mood was even higher. He responded fluently:

"When we have refined all the hidden consciousness and completely transformed it into the manifest consciousness that we can realize and control, it proves that we have reached a certain level of control and grasp of the spirit. At this time, there is no hidden consciousness, manifest consciousness Consciousness and even consciousness of God are collectively referred to as "Yin God". Once the Yin God is established, the huge potential contained in the soul will be gradually developed, so that the strength of the soul will increase by leaps and bounds until it leaves the body and travels out of the body. That is the third step kung fu!

"In this way, corresponding to these three steps, there are three major tests in the realm of spiritual penetration: the first is the separation of consciousness and transformation, which is the beginning of spiritual penetration; the second is the manifestation of the true spirit, which is the axis of spiritual penetration; the third is One is the yin spirit coming out of the body, which is the achievement of psychic power!"

"What is a true spirit?" Yu Ci asked the most crucial point.

Ye Tu replied like a stream: "Seeing the original mind is the truth, and the perceptual understanding is the spirit. The true spirit is corresponding to the hidden consciousness, which can make the hidden consciousness manifest and initially understand the outline of one's most secret mind, and the inner soul is radiantly illuminated. Through the projection of this outline, various auras are formed, which is the true spirit. In fact, it is the shadow formed by the primordial spirit penetrating the conscious spirit, that's all."

Hearing this, Yu Ci couldn't help but think of the flames burning above and below the top door. According to Ye Tu, that should be the true spirit.

Ye Tu nodded and said: "Exactly, I see that your true spirit is burning like fire, uncle, but its shape is single. You must know that people's hidden consciousness is naturally the true reflection of yourself, so the complete form of the true spirit reflected by its outline should also be Your own image is correct. Therefore, you should have just touched the hidden consciousness, and have not reached the deep level. In the first, middle, and upper stages of the spiritual realm, it is the time when the primary stage is completed and the intermediate stage is not yet complete.

"Uncle, it's only been a few days since you entered the realm of supernatural powers, and you've already reached this level, which is already very powerful. It should be the 'Three Passes of the Ordinary', with a solid foundation...By the way, what you practice is the method of thinking and visualization." , Compared with those who are from the outside to the inside, or who simply guide and breathe, they have a great advantage in nourishing the soul."

Yu Ci really admired Ye Tu's erudition.Then, the teenager began to finish:

"If the human body is completely achieved, there is no difference, it means that the hidden consciousness has been successfully purified, and it is already at the level of the Yin God. At that time, the Yin God will be the form, and the real spirit will be the shadow. Menstruation days, the primordial spirit at this time can be commensurate with "Yangshen". Of course, the current "Yangshen" is just a title, and the cultivation base of the "Yangshen" who will "gather together to form, and disperse to transform qi" in the future is still different. There's a long way to go."

When Ye Tu said this, Yu Ci couldn't help but slapped his legs in admiration, no matter how deep the kid said, whether it was correct or not, this series of theories can indeed be justified, from beginning to end, he has opened his eyes today.

The more he was like this, the happier Ye Tu was. He not only talked about it, but also repeatedly indicated it based on the graphics on the ground. He didn't want to explain it in detail, but gradually revealed a complete outline of his practice. I don't know how many times better than the previous one who was digging through books and talking about everything.

At this moment, Yu Ci suddenly had the feeling that "listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books", and he listened more carefully right now.One of the two spoke hard while the other listened hard, unaware of the passage of time.Gradually, Yu Ci also began to ask questions in order to better understand the information in it.He was more interested in the way of the sword, so after a few back and forth, he asked about the "primordial spirit controlling the sword".

"The words of Yuanshen controlling the sword...but it will be extended again." Ye Tu didn't prepare for this question, he scratched his head and made an impromptu performance:

"Yuanshen controlling the sword is the application of 'Anihilating Qi with God', and this 'Anihilating Qi with God' is not part of the same system as what I said earlier, but involves things like refining Qi and body. To put it bluntly, It is the combination of spirit, spirit and vitality of the whole body, that is, the integration of essence, energy and spirit, regardless of each other. The so-called "spiritual energy embraces", "spirit enters the qi" point, and "three-in-one unity" is also formed! From this, the "gang" is formed. , 'sha' and other high-level powers. Concentrate it on the sword, you can control the sword to pass through the gods, and at the same time improve the vitality of the soul, it is a very practical skill."

"Well, that sounds good..."

"Of course, others are fine. For sword repairers, controlling the sword with the primordial spirit is the foundation of cultivating swords and cultivating evil spirits. It is the foundation that will last a lifetime. But Uncle Yu, you are self-taught, which shows that the foundation of self-cultivation is laid. It is firm and full of vitality, which makes the talent of the sword even more remarkable!"

"The requirements are so high? That Taoist Yan..."

"What Taoist Yan?" Ye Tu was confused.

Yu Ci immediately told the situation of his fight with Daoist Yan, focusing on the last powerful sword.

Ye Tu was stunned when he heard this, and murmured: "No way, when will Yuanshen control the sword alone?"

He shook his head, regained his composure, and began to explain to Yu Ci: "Here is the key to embracing one's spirit and energy, and reincarnating into energy. This energy is not that energy, but Gang, it is evil, and it is the innate energy, which is better than the true energy cultivated in the human body." It needs to be a higher level. It is the result of the practice of returning to the alchemy realm in the future. It is difficult for a spiritual cultivator to refine the innate qi.

"I have never seen that Taoist Yan, but according to your description, uncle, before this person casts his sword, his true spirit shines, and he uses his spirit to control his breath. I am afraid that he is the soul of his sword. , but the power is a bit... By the way, let me have a look at the Nine Suns Talisman Sword."

He wanted to pass the Nine Suns Talisman Sword, looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Yes, the one next to this Talisman Sword is nothing more than that, but there are rune patterns that accumulate evil spirits, probably because of the primordial spirit controlling the sword or something else It is only when the method is stimulated that it becomes extremely powerful, and this is not all due to Taoist Yan's own strength."

Yu Ci lowered his head to observe, followed the rune pattern to deduce it for a while, and found that it was indeed the case.He also remembered that the jade slips he got from Daoist Yan did have this content, but he didn't have time to study it.

Nodding his head, he was about to ask again, but the commotion of the raptors and beasts seemed to spread, and there was a violent vibration under his feet.Ye Tu was facing the edge of the slope, his gaze swept away, and he suddenly became tongue-tied and speechless.
