Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 109: Using music as a guide to control all things is called "Wonderful Music Spiritual Flight Sutra"

Half a month later, in the small building in the secluded forest.

Under the old peach tree, Zhuang Bu Ran and Shi Qing Xuan sat opposite each other and talked.

"Master Qingzhai, Qingxuan has always wanted to ask, how on earth did you manage to grow a peach forest in such a short time? Could it be that you have truly become an immortal?"

"It's just an ordinary martial art, not worth mentioning."

"It's rare, really rare, that Master Qingzhai can be humble."

"Miss Shi, you excel in medicine, flute playing, Qinggong (lightness skills), and mechanical engineering. Even though you haven't specifically trained in martial arts, you still have martial arts skills that have reached the Xiantian realm. This shows that your innate aptitude and understanding have perfectly inherited the legacy of Master Bi and the Evil King."

"Recently, I've discovered a martial art that seems to be quite compatible with you. Would you be willing to learn it?"

"Master Qingzhai, since you know that Qingxuan doesn't like to practice martial arts, you should know that I don't have any obsession with martial arts."

"Haha, Miss Shi should be thankful that she was born in this world where the Tao can be found. Not only can some people enter the Tao through love and embark on the path of shattering the void, but they can also enter the Tao through joy. Once they reach the pinnacle, shattering is no longer just an illusion."

"Master Qingzhai, please don't tell Qingxuan that I have created a unique martial art that uses music to achieve enlightenment."

A hint of smile appeared in Zhuang Bu Ran's eyes:
"'The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart' is divided into two volumes. The first volume discusses the method of cultivating demon seeds and the transition from Dao to demon. The second volume discusses the method of transitioning from demon to Dao. It emphasizes the transition from Dao to demon and planting demon seeds in the Dao heart. It is extremely bizarre and dangerous."

"But then again, this is a martial art that views everything as a wave. Every blade of grass and every tree is a wave."

"Even the Qi of ordinary martial artists is a wave, but Xiantian Qi is a higher level and more subtle wave, because it can combine with the human spirit."

"The demonic seed born from within the body has transcended the fluctuations of life and death, so it can do what humans cannot. It also regards the void as a kind of fluctuation, which it can then shatter and leave."

Shi Qingxuan frowned and said:

"Could it be that you have discovered your so-called martial arts of using music to achieve enlightenment from those evil and vicious martial arts?"

“Isn’t music the most beautiful wave in the world?”

The young man in blue shirt talks freely:

"The first chapter of 'The Great Dao Heart Planting Demon Method' is the first step in entering the Dao. One must first cultivate the authentic Xuanmen Heart Method to establish one's own Dao body and Dao heart. The essence of the skill I created is also included in it, which is the profound and subtle Dao of tranquility and inaction, letting nature take its course."

"Using music as a medium, I have not only integrated the essence of the 'Dao Heart Demon Planting Method', but also mixed it with the various martial arts I have learned. This can be considered the culmination of my martial arts."

"This skill is divided into four chapters: 'Spiritual Song', 'Spiritual Dance', 'Inspiration', and 'Spiritual Flight'."

"Spiritual Music is an internal practice. It has twenty-two pieces of music, each corresponding to a meridian. By playing musical instruments, one can activate the internal Qi and cultivate internal skills."

"The human body has twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, as well as two songs specifically designed to connect the Ren and Du meridians. Therefore, there are a total of twenty-two songs, collectively known as the 'Zhou Tian Ling Fei Qu'."

"At the beginning of cultivation, one must use these breathing techniques to play wind instruments such as the flute, xiao, yu, and sheng."

"Master Qingzhai, it sounds like your skills require a deep understanding of the way of music." Shi Qingxuan said meaningfully:
"You don't seem to have the unique grace that is characteristic of people like me."

Zhuang Bu Ran shook his head and laughed:
"Not to mention that I've studied the art of music, and I've also acquired the Buddhist clairaudience, so I'm quite knowledgeable about music. Isn't that natural?"

"Then play a song for me to see if Master Qingzhai is really omnipotent." Shi Qingxuan placed the long flute hanging from his waist in front of the young man in blue.

Zhuang Bu Ran placed his hands on the stone table, but did not touch the flute. Instead, he tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and hummed softly:
"All things are my rhythm, wild horses follow my tune. As the saying goes, flowing water has no strings, but the listener has his heart."

“A mindful listener to unstringed water finds it flowing freely, with its own natural sounds. A mindless listener to a stringed zither finds it playing to an ox, even if Boya were still alive.”

"When I take my heart as my own, the heaven and earth can be used by me. I can use thunder as a drum, gather wind and water as strings, use the lungs of the earth as a pipe, and transform the mountains into bells and chimes."

He suddenly gave an order:
"Wind blows!"

A strong wind suddenly arose, and the whole peach forest suddenly boiled over. Thousands of branches danced wildly in the wind, and the pink and white petals were rolled high into the sky, like a snowflake flying against the wind, or like broken clouds, surging all over the sky.

Under the old peach tree, the two people's robes and long hair moved in the wind.

At this moment, Shi Qingxuan stared at the petals flying all over the sky in a daze, unable to utter a word.

"Yunyong!"

In an instant, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds rolled over the peach forest.

"Thunder!"

With a "boom", thunder rumbled deep in the dark clouds.

"Rain!" Suddenly, raindrops tapped on the branches and leaves, the sound was as soft as a whisper. The violent storm just now had disappeared, leaving only the lingering drizzle.

A Qi shield was erected under the old peach tree to keep the rain out.

"Are you a human being?" Shi Qingxuan looked astonished.

"Now he's actually using magic to summon wind and rain!"

Zhuang Bu Ran said casually:
"Using music as a guide to control all things is called the 'Wonderful Music Spiritual Flight Sutra'. Do you want to learn it?"

"If I learn it, can I also call the wind and rain?" Shi Qingxuan asked curiously.

The young man in blue shirt said nothing,

"The second chapter, 'Spiritual Dance,' is about body movements and techniques. It's both dance and martial arts, requiring spiritual music and true energy as a foundation. If the rhythm is right, it can absorb any martial art in the world and create new changes."

"The third chapter, 'Inspiration,' is divided into three realms: human sound, earthly sound, and heavenly sound. It is a method of perceiving external objects through true qi. Spiritual music true qi is generated by music and is extremely sensitive to sound. Upon reaching a certain level of practice, practitioners should be able to break out of the circle of 'Zhou Tian Ling Fei Qu'."

"Use the inner Qi to respond to the sounds of all things, perceive all things, and thus transcend the ordinary and reach the heavenly way."

“No matter how subtle or noisy a sound is, once it enters the ear, it can be distinguished and analyzed in detail and organized.”

Shi Qingxuan heard this and looked at the still falling drizzle, and immediately came to his senses:

"You use your true energy to respond to the sounds of all things, sensing all things. Once you sense the potential for wind and rain, you guide it with music, bringing it forward."

"Qingxuan is really smart. She didn't disappoint me. I have even more expectations of you." Zhuang Bu Ran said happily:
"In the fourth chapter, 'Spiritual Flight,' one can reach a state where music is the guide, controlling all things. As the saying goes, heaven and earth have their own rhythms, movement and stillness have their own rules, and the principles of relaxation and agility are consistent. Knowing the beginning and controlling the end, acting according to the rhythm, everything one does is successful."

After hearing this, Shi Qingxuan felt even more enlightened:
"So that's how it is. Everything in the universe has its own rhythm, a rhythm that includes changes in movement and stillness, speed and slowness."

"When these changes are consistent, it's like a piece of music. Music has rhythm, and martial arts also have rhythm. The more beautiful the music, the more unique the rhythm; the more advanced the martial arts, the more subtle the rhythm."

"Even if you've never encountered a martial art before, as long as you grasp its key points, you can infer the subsequent changes from the previous move."

Her clear eyes stared at the boy in blue shirt:

"You just used this principle to transform all things into music, guiding and fueling the storm, allowing it to descend before it did."

"That's right. I just said it, and you can draw inferences about other cases." Zhuang Buyan said leisurely:
"Once this skill is mastered, any weapon in the world can be transformed into a musical instrument, even the heavens and the earth."

"This is because the rhythm of 'Spiritual Song' originates from Qi and blood, and the changes in the Qi and blood in the human body are connected with the heaven and earth. Therefore, it follows the will of Heaven and responds to human needs, which is in line with the Great Dao."

"Once one has mastered the Spiritual Flying technique, one can use one's own Qi to guide the Qi of others. One can control any type of Qi in the world. In actual combat, one can control the flow of an opponent's Qi, preventing them from exerting their internal strength normally. One can even use their Qi for their own benefit, increasing one's own strength."

"This contains the essence of the Immortal Seal."

"I have never shown you the Immortal Seal." Shi Qingxuan's face showed a hint of understanding.
"It seems that you have grasped the essence of this martial art through fighting with him."

Zhuang Bu Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"According to the rhythm of the Spiritual Song, the mental method can be divided into five parts. The first is listening to the wind, listening to the sound of the weapon, and using keen hearing to perceive the movement trajectory and attack direction of the opponent's weapon."

"The second is to break the rhythm, see through the opponent's rhythm of attack, and understand the rhythm and pattern of his attack."

"The third is to disrupt the opponent's martial arts, disrupting their rhythm and making it impossible for them to perform their moves smoothly."

"The fourth is to enter the rhythm, to bring the opponent into your own rhythm and control their actions."

"The fifth is to have fun together, making the other person unable to make their own decisions and having to let themselves be manipulated."

"These five steps, in sequence, are collectively known as the 'Five Laws of Stopping War,' which also means to stop war as a means of warfare. This should be quite suitable for your temperament, as you don't like violence."

Shi Qingxuan looked deeply at the blue-shirted boy:

"Why do you suddenly want to teach me martial arts?"

"With my martial arts, the deeper your understanding of the Way of Music, the faster you can practice it. I believe that with Qingxuan's attainments in the Way of Music, in two or three years, even the Evil King will not be a match for him."

Zhuang Bu Ran said quietly:
"It would be a shame for a woman like you, who embodies the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, to die of old age in the mountains."

"I have always valued talent, so why not let me help you find your way out of this broken path."

Shi Qingxuan also spoke in a quiet tone:
"If you can't get through, you'll die, right?"

"I like you more and more. You are really smart." The young man in blue clapped his hands and laughed.
