Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

Of course, there is another thing that You Fang did not say clearly, that is, although Mr. Lu is strong, his cultivation is still not as good as that of the old master. Since you want to find someone to discuss the Tao, why not find the top one?

Naturally, the Heavenly Master understood what he was thinking. At the same time, he did not try to expose anything. He just nodded lightly after listening to his explanation: "Okay, you tell me."

"Well, it's like this..."

Next, You Fang explained everything about Ziyang Zhenren's "Tao Fruit", the content of "Enlightenment Chapter", and his feelings about "Nine Sequences of Mind Technique". As for the content of the exercises, Nothing is left out.

Although for each sect, their own skills are top secret, but in this "Tao realm" and under the discussion of Tao, as long as it is related to "Tao", there is no need to hide any secrets, and only in this way is it possible Go one step further.

And when You Fang finished speaking...

"Well……"

"I never thought that you would have such an opportunity. I have never seen the 'Daoguo' in a hundred years of practice." The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Haha, if Heavenly Master is interested, I can tell you the location and entry method of this place. With your ability, you can naturally take this 'Tao Fruit' at will." You Fang responded sincerely.

In his opinion, this "Twenty-Four Sections of Tongtian Valley" is the inheritance place of the Taoist sect's founder, and as the current leader of the Taoist sect, it is naturally the most appropriate for the old master to entrust this place to him.

At the same time, this can also be a big surprise for Wu Gensheng in the future. If he returns to Tongtian Valley in the future, the old Heavenly Master will definitely be able to sense it immediately, and with the strength of the old Heavenly Master, he will be captured. Living must be within reach.

"Well, since it is the place of opportunity left by Master Ziyang, then I naturally have to go and take a look. If I can compare it with its 'Tao Fruit', maybe it can make me go a step further." Regarding the potential improvement of this kind Naturally, the Heavenly Master will not refuse the good deeds of cultivation.

And then...

"But that's all for later. Let's take a look at the problems you encountered first. If everything you said is correct, then I am sure that your feeling is indeed right."

"Really!"

After receiving the Old Heavenly Master's affirmation, You Fang immediately became more confident, and immediately asked: "Old Heavenly Master, from your perspective, where does this problem lie?"

"Um……"

The Heavenly Master thought for a while.

"There is no doubt that the root of this problem is not the 'idea'. Since the 'Three Levels of Reverse Life' can be cultivated to the 'Second Level' and complete the process of 'reverse transformation of the body into Qi', it also means that this The road will definitely work!"

In fact, when he reaches the realm of Lao Tianshi, he has already fully understood the concept of "the world's great roads lead to the same destination through different paths". For him, as long as a technique does not lead to a dead end from the beginning, everything is just The idea shows that it can be worked out.

And since there is no problem with the fundamental "idea", it means that the problem lies elsewhere, and judging from the current situation, the problem should be in the "gong method".

"Actually, a long time ago, after I had many contacts with Lu Jin and learned about the practice of the Trinity Sect, I have always had doubts. There may be something wrong with your Trinity Sect's exercises." He pondered. After clearing his thoughts for a while, the Heavenly Master continued.

"Although I have never seen the founder of your Trinity Sect, Mr. Sanjiao, I have actually seen the immortal appearance of the Immortal Daying. I can say that, based on what Senior Zuo showed at that time, In terms of strength, his talent must be much higher than that of my master, but he has neither been able to enter the 'realm of Tao' nor break through to the 'realm of inaction', which... is quite abnormal!"

"Um……"

You Fang also nodded in agreement with Lao Tianshi's statement. Judging from his understanding of the Zuo Sect Master, his cultivation should not stop here.

"The talent, understanding, and character are all perfect, but after hundreds of years of practice, there is no real breakthrough. Indeed, this can only be a problem with the technique, not other reasons."

"That's right." The old Heavenly Master also nodded at this time, "And since it's a question of martial arts, then naturally we have to find the source from your Trinity Sect's "Nine Sequences of Mind Technique". And if you just said That’s all of the "Nine Sequences of the Heart", then maybe I... will know the crux of the matter."

"Huh? Please tell me!" You Fang said impatiently.

"As you can perceive, there is indeed a bit of 'disharmony' in this practice. This may be the source of all problems, and the disharmony lies in the way you 'refining Qi' Come on!" The Heavenly Master did not hesitate and pointed it out directly!

"How to 'refining Qi'?" Hearing this, You Fang frowned, then lowered his head and began to think carefully, and soon his eyes widened, as if he suddenly understood.

"What you mean is that our Trinity Sect's concept of 'reverse life' originally starts from 'nihility' and returns to 'innate energy', but our method of 'refining energy' is the same as usual, which is contrary to Regarding your own philosophy?”

"Yes, that's right." The old master smiled and nodded, "In my opinion, this is also the reason why your practice has come to an end when you reach the second level, because if you want to go further, your 'lives' and 'Qi' will be separated and fall into a state of eternal destruction!"

"Perhaps, the deaths of Senior Zuo and your adoptive father You Daoyou were also related to this issue. For now, the 'Third Level of Reverse Life' is a 'trap' for you!"

What the Heavenly Master means is very simple, that is - the practice of the Trinity Sect in terms of "nature" and "fate" all follow the process of "turning the void into the spirit, turning the spirit into the qi, and turning the qi into the essence" , there is no doubt that there is no problem...

But the problem is that the Trinity Sect's "Qi refining" method follows the traditional process of "refining Qi to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, and refining Qi to transform spirit into void". It can be said to be completely opposite, so it cannot be perfected. As one.

Furthermore, in the "first level", since both of them are "foundation", "xing", "ming" and "qi", the three are not consistent, so there will be no problem in practicing at the same time. It is just an introduction. It's just more difficult.

When it comes to the "second level", since they are at the same stage, and the three are already integrated, it is the most harmonious state, and it can show the power far beyond the ordinary inner alchemy, and there is no need to advance. question.

But when it comes to the "third level", the problem becomes bigger. At that time, the state pursued by "Xing" and "Ming" is "Innate Qi", that is, "refining Qi and returning essence". One step further up is the "realm of nothingness", which can be said to be one south and one north, divided into two poles!

In this case, it is not impossible to make further breakthroughs. After all, there is still a way forward for both aspects of practice, but the biggest problem lies in the "nature", "ming" and "qi" of the practitioner at this time. The three are already integrated into one.

At that time, if we want to force a breakthrough, "Xing" and "Ming" will naturally return to the state of "innate Qi" and achieve the so-called "perfect Qi transformation" state, and all substantial things will be transformed into "Qi". This can be considered a breakthrough...

However, due to the conflicting directions of cultivation, the "qi" at that time will be refined to the state of "nothingness". When the three are combined, it is equivalent to "nature" and "ming" also turning into "nothingness", and other internal Alchemy does not abandon the "physical" difference. It can be said that it no longer has any carrier to rely on, and naturally it "disappears into thin air".

"I see!"

The Heavenly Master's analysis was like an enlightenment. You Fang immediately understood the problem. He couldn't help being surprised and his eyes widened.

"Hiss...wait!"

But then he felt something was wrong again, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Old Heavenly Master, if you don't follow the ordinary method of refining Qi, wouldn't it mean that there would be nothing left to practice?"

You must know that the method of "refining Qi" starts from the "innate Qi" of one's own body, and the "innate Qi" exists from birth, it already exists, so what's the point...

For "virtual"?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 184 The method of rebirth and complementation!

How to start refining Qi from "emptiness" with the concept of "reverse generation" is indeed a problem.

At the same time, this may also be the biggest problem that troubles the founder of the Trinity Sect, "Mr. Three Religions." You Fang has reason to suspect that it was not that the founder did not want to incorporate the method of refining energy, but that he did not think of a suitable method.

However, judging from the expression on the old Heavenly Master's face, he seemed to have thought of a solution. This made You Fang curious and immediately asked: "Old Heavenly Master, do you already have a solution?"

Facing his question, the Heavenly Master just smiled slightly: "There is no way to talk about it, but from the perspective of practice, it can be tried."

"Oh?" You Fang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his expression was a little surprised, and then he said respectfully, "Then please tell me!"

"Um……"

The Heavenly Master pondered for a moment, then raised his eyelids and spoke softly: "I remember that you went to Putuo San Temple before coming to Longhu. During that time, Master Jiekong happened to be teaching Dharma there, so you must have met him. Bar?"

"Master Jie Kong?" Hearing this, You Fang couldn't help but be startled, but then he thought again and suddenly showed an enlightened expression, "Ah! What do you mean?"

"That's right, Master Jiekong and I are both 'Ten Guys', so I naturally have more contact with him, and you should also know about his situation. His cultivation is completely useless, at least in terms of 'Fate' and 'Qi' ...He is truly a useless person." The Heavenly Master nodded, confirming his conjecture.

And then...

"But even so, after you really meet Master Jie Kong, do you think... is he really useless?" The old Tianshi looked at You Fang and asked such a question.

"Of course there is no such thing. Master Jie Kong's cultivation on the path of 'nature' is extremely profound. Even if his body and Qi are gone, as long as his cultivation of mind and soul are still there, sooner or later he will be able to Enter what Buddhism calls 'Nirvana'!" You Fang replied very confidently.

"Well, that's true." Seeing that You Fang could see this layer, the old master couldn't help but nod and smiled with satisfaction, "This is what we often say, 'No destruction, no establishment', which is also the Buddhist concept of 'Nirvana' the truth."

"And this 'no destruction, no establishment' is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to actually achieve it. This is not only a test for the practitioner's cultivation, but also a mountain-like pressure on his mind. Most people They will all be defeated at the bottom of the mountain, and only a handful of people will be able to climb over it.”

"But..." Then, the old Heavenly Master changed the subject, "This is also a great opportunity, just like those who have been led out of the 'Three Corpses' by the Three Demon Sects, and even this opportunity is even greater than that Bigger!”

"As long as you can get through, at least in my opinion, even if you fail to ascend to immortality, you will at least stand in front of the immortal gate. All you need is some good luck."

"Well, indeed..." Hearing this, You Fang nodded, and then asked, "So Heavenly Master, do you think that the problem of our Trinity Sect can be solved with just one word 'broken'?"

He seemed to have grasped something key.

"Yes, this is the only way I can think of at the moment. Since the 'Qi' was refined wrongly, then just 're-rehearse' it." As expected, the old Heavenly Master nodded.

"As mentioned before, the fundamental problem with your "Nine Sequences of Mind Technique" is the 'tearing' that will occur when you break through the 'third level'. To solve this problem, you must let the Qi in your body Cultivation can also be reversed..."

"But just as you are wondering, the practitioner already possesses the 'Innate Qi' at the beginning of his practice, which is also the basis of 'Qi Refining', so it is basically impossible to start 'Qi Refining' from 'emptiness' , which is the fundamental contradiction of this issue.”

"But..." At this time, the old master suddenly squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking, and seemed to be deducing, "What is impossible when you first get involved in cultivation does not mean that you will be able to do it after you have advanced. Still can’t do it.”

"Just like Master Jie Kong, it was naturally impossible for him to abandon the cultivation of 'Fate' and 'Qi' and practice 'Xing' alone when he first started practicing. But now he can do it!"

"I understand!"

Hearing this, You Fang's mind opened up completely, and he immediately said: "In other words, when our Sanyi sect's "Nine Orders of Mind" practice is profound enough, we can overcome the influence of the 'Waste Qi Heavy Refining' , and at the same time, when we can find the method of refining Qi through the God of Emptiness, the problem will be solved!"

After he thought for a moment, he expressed surprise: "Thank you, Heavenly Master. This is indeed the only feasible method at the moment. Although it is equally dangerous, it is really possible to help my Trinity Sect break through the current predicament. !”

Not only that, this is also in line with the practice philosophy of the Trinity School itself, because it originally integrated the essence of the three schools of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and naturally also absorbed the Buddhist concept of "Nirvana"...

And in this way, the missing link in the "Nine Sequences of Mind Method" seems to have been really filled in. Although it has only gone through preliminary scrutiny, it is undoubtedly a feasible method!

"but……"

But then, he seemed to have thought of something, and showed doubts on his face: "With this method, why didn't the founder of the time, Mr. Three Religions, think of it, with his ability to combine the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism with his great talent and innate understanding?" , it shouldn’t stop there.”

"I have also thought about this point just now. It is actually very simple. Looking at Senior Lin's life, everything will be naturally clear." The old Heavenly Master gave the answer.

"According to the existing records, it can be seen that your ancestor, Mr. Sanjiao, did not start practicing since childhood, and he was not even a member of the Taoist sect from the beginning..."

"Furthermore, he has lived in a wealthy family since his birth, surrounded by dignitaries. Therefore, without any external factors and survival factors to promote him, although he is talented and intelligent, he will not step into practice."

"From the time he was born, until he was thirty years old, his goal was to pass the imperial examination. At that time, he was a Confucian disciple, and he concentrated on writing. In addition, there were very few Confucian practitioners, so naturally there were very few It’s hard to get into practice…”

"It wasn't until he was thirty years old that he finally decided to abandon literature and follow Taoism after repeated attempts. In other words, it was only at the age of thirty that he finally entered the spiritual practice."

"You and I both understand that no matter how talented a person is, his or her cultivation and understanding of practice still take time to slowly improve. No one is an exception..."

"Of course, there is no doubt that people with great talent can shorten the time. Therefore, it took about ten years from the time when 'Mr. Three Religions' entered the Taoism to when he really came to prominence."

"At that time, 'Mr. Sanjiao' had just turned forty and was in his middle age. Although he started late, he still had a very good idea of ​​​​practicing. As long as he continued to practice, he would surely surpass his contemporaries very quickly and fly by leaps and bounds. And soaring to the sky.”

"But, at that time, the Japanese pirates attacked. Being kind-hearted by nature, he could not bear to see the world suffer, so he resolutely joined the war against the Japanese pirates. In this way, he could not concentrate on his cultivation for another ten years."

"And when ten years had passed and the war against the Japanese was successful, he was already over fifty years old. Since he had only been practicing for a short time and his cultivation was not high, he naturally looked old..."

"But considering his talent, it was not too late even if he devoted himself to practice from that time on. However, because of his deep kindness and seeing the suffering of sentient beings after the war, he started to do relief work again. .”

"But fortunately, doing good deeds and providing disaster relief is less strenuous than fighting against Japanese invaders. If there is time for him to practice, he can calm down again."

"And I have to say that his talent is really amazing. During these few years of doing good deeds and practicing cultivation at the same time, he actually understood the principles of the three gates and thus created the Trinity Gate."

"But after that, he still did not practice true meditation. Instead, he began to implement the 'Gen Back Method' in the name of Trinity Sect, hoping to benefit all people in the world..."

"And this implementation invested the entire second half of his life in it, and his "Nine Prefaces of Mind Method" could only be slowly understood and completed in this process until his death."

Having said this, the Heavenly Master paused.

"That is to say, the 'Mr. Three Religions' back then had almost no time for true 'quiet practice and enlightenment', and the "Nine Orders of Mind Method" that you practice now is just a result of his extraordinary talents. I write with inspiration while doing good deeds..."

"Even though his descendants and disciples also have amazing talents and are able to make some additions and completions to its content, the word 'ni' was understood by him after all, and it will be difficult for future generations to understand its essence. We can only pass this "Nine Prefaces of Mind Method", and the framework of the method is indeed complete and it is difficult to find omissions, so naturally no one can find the real problem!"

As he said that, he looked at You Fang: "Look, even with your qualifications, if you hadn't met Ziyang Zhenren's 'Tao Fruit' by chance, even if you might be able to discover the clues in the future, you don't know how many years it will take." He Yue..."

"As for me, if I hadn't been immersed in the Tao of Inner Alchemy for hundreds of years and had already entered the 'Tao Realm', I wouldn't have dared to see the problem, let alone the merits of your Trinity Sect in the past. A senior master who cannot enter the 'Tao Realm' due to the limitations of the law."

"I see……"

After listening to the explanation of the old master, You Fang couldn't help but nodded. At the same time, he recalled the life of the ancestor and found that it was indeed the case.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh: "If the Patriarch can truly practice quietly for tens or hundreds of years, maybe he can become the first truly confirmed immortal in this world, right?"

"Indeed, just from the information revealed in this past record, it is enough to judge that the talent of 'Mr. Three Religions' is extraordinary. Even compared to 'Mr. Wolong' and 'Kunyang Taoist (Zhang Sanfeng)', he is not far behind. If you devote yourself to cultivation, you will definitely be able to become an immortal..." Regarding this point, the Heavenly Master agreed.

"But if this is the case, everything may change again. After all, the reason why 'Mr. Three Religions' can achieve this is obviously inseparable from his experience and his kind heart."

"Well, that's true."

You Fang thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed the case. He was very clear about the impact that some changes would have on one thing or even the entire world.

At this moment, with the discussion and guidance of the Heavenly Master, the problem of "Nine Prefaces" has been initially solved. What is needed next... is practice.

"As for the practical issue, I think you don't need to worry about it for now. After all, your current state has just formed the Yin Dan. To re-refining Qi, it is best to achieve the 'harmony of yin and yang' and the 'fusion of life and life'. Be safe..." At this time, the Heavenly Master suggested.

"So, if we want to test this method now, we need the most suitable candidate, and there is only one person in your Trinity Sect who can take on this important task..."

There is no doubt that what the Heavenly Master is referring to is Mr. Lu Jin. As he said, among the Trinity Sect members that can be found in the world today, only Mr. Lu has reached this level.

but……

"Mr. Lu treats me well and is the pillar of the Lu family. This matter is so dangerous. If he is allowed to test this method, I will not feel at ease." You Fang shook his head and directly expressed his rejection.

Then, he directly raised his hand to Heavenly Master: "Master Heavenly, I hope you can keep what we have learned today a secret for me. I still need to think about how to do it specifically."

"Haha..." As if expecting this answer from You Fang, the Heavenly Master smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

In this world, although there are few people with extraordinary talents, there is no shortage of them. But young people with extraordinary talents, good nature, who are grateful and considerate of others are rare.

"That's fine. Since you have your own plans and this is your Trinity Sect's business, I won't say any more. You can make your own decisions." Then, he nodded in agreement with You Fang.

"However, I still want to remind you that before you have truly reached the end of the 'Second Level of Reverse Life', you must not try it hastily. This is a very difficult road to walk, so you must be fully prepared."

"Don't worry, Heavenly Master, I understand." You Fang also nodded. It was related to his own life and cultivation, so he would naturally take it very seriously.
