Chapter 376: Sacrifice, Cause and Effect and Compassion; after decades of practice, the eighth level of the Thirteen Changes of Xuantian
The sea of clouds rolled, and the red sun jumped out.
Deep in the Canglong Mountain, which is shrouded in white mist and looks like a fairyland, there is a magnificent Jinting Fairy Palace, and a cluster of Taoist palace buildings.
Here, the eaves and brackets of the Tao Palace are shining with mysterious light under the sunlight, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
In the Tao Palace, there was a solemn and solemn scene at this time.
In the wide hall, the disciples sat neatly on both sides.
Lu Cheng is tall on the Yin-Yang Dharma Platform. Today he is wearing a plain Taoist robe, and his clothes flutter gently in the wind, as if he is about to merge with the quiet atmosphere of this Taoist palace.
Before today's class, Lu Cheng first bowed his head and asked Tie Guankun under his seat:
"Chu Yun, since you came to this fire realm, you have gained something. Therefore, after practicing in seclusion, can you gain something?"
This Kundao was graceful and graceful. After being asked by the teacher, he stood up and replied:
"The disciple has some understanding, but he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong. He is worried that he will affect his master's listening."
"A teacher is to teach the teachings and answer questions. But it doesn't matter."
"The principles that my disciple has realized during this period are: refining essence into qi, refining qi to return to spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining spirit to return to emptiness, three changes."
"Refining essence into qi means that monks mix the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, yin and yang essence into magic power, and refine it into the lower dantian to fill essence and replenish the essence and enrich the five internal organs.
Refining Qi to return to the spirit is to refine the magic power in nine turns. After the nine turns, it is pure and meticulous, so that it can be refined into the upper dantian and open the ancestral orifice between one's own eyebrows and one's own eyebrows and one's own refining Qi to return to the spirit. This step is very dangerous and cannot be forced. Moreover, the upper dantian is the leader of the six yangs of the human body. Once the magic power is insufficient and the essence is not refined enough, it will be refined into the brain. At the very least, it will go crazy and go crazy, and at the worst, it will probably die and die immediately.
Refining the spirit and returning to the emptiness refers to the nine transformations of magic power, which is combined with the spirit and will, and will give birth to vitality and spirituality. If there is an opportunity, refining it into the qi and blood of the human body, because the human body is empty and nothing is like entering Guixu... According to the Tao Sutra, there are 129,600 acupoints in the human body... If it can be filled, the Tao and Dharma will be greatly improved. ”
Listening to the slow story of his beloved disciple under his disciple, the Taoist Lu Cheng in plain robe on the high platform nodded gently.
Although the more she said it later, it is rare that she can reach this level of understanding of Taoism and Dharma.
It nourishes the fetus in a virtual way, and then transforms into the Nascent Soul. For this disciple, he has taken half a step successfully.
After listening to the Taoist theory that Miao Chuyun has learned over the years, Lu Cheng did not comment or say anything more about it. Instead, he spoke slowly. His voice was like a big bell, echoing in every corner of the Taoist Palace:
"The Taoist wise men said that the human body has three treasures. If you keep it and practice it, you can attain the Tao. One is essence, the second is qi, and the third is spirit. If you do not cultivate the primordial spirit, you will not understand the heavenly way. No matter how high the magic power is and how strong the magic power is, it will eventually turn into dust. My disciples should know the number of days, accumulate merits, and reduce the demonic disaster."
Lu Cheng sat high on the magic platform, looking at the faces of the disciples below, and sighed secretly in his heart that he had a sword in his hand, practicing Taoism, and was good at using magic power to go against the heavens.
Walking alone with a sword, you will be able to overcome difficulties when you encounter disasters, and you will be able to kill disasters when you encounter disasters, and you will have a real experience.
However, after so many years of practice, I feel introverted. When teaching my disciples, I don’t want them to learn from them, but I hope they can take a better path.
Lu Cheng's sermon paused slightly at this point, and his eyes swept across every disciple on the cushion below the stage. Seeing the doubts and thoughts in their eyes, he continued to say:
"The Yuanshen is the foundation of oneself and the bridge connecting with the way of heaven. Only by practicing the Yuanshen can we understand the subtle laws between heaven and earth, and then follow the way of heaven. Knowing the number of days is a compulsory course for people in our practice. The number of days is like an invisible big net, covering all things in the world, and the fate of every creature is closely related to it. We follow the number of days, not to passively obey the arrangement of fate, but to actively accumulate merit under the guidance of this number of days."
"Merit is an invisible power. Don't think that merit is a good deed. The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the shortcomings. It is like a trickle of flow, and when it gathers together, it can become a vast river. Every corresponding thought and every time act is a process of accumulating merit. When we accumulate enough merit, we can reduce the demonic disaster.
The demonic disaster is like a reef hidden in the dark, which may cause our boat of cultivation to sank at any time. Those who only know how to pursue magic power but do not care about the number of days are like ships that lose their course in the storm. They seem to be incredible for a moment, but in fact they are full of dangers. ”
"Master, what is the number of days and what is merit? I am a little confused. Please ask Master to solve the problem."
In the direction of Miao Chuyun's lower head, the third disciple Youming had turned into the image of a purple-robed Taoist, and he kowtowed to ask questions at this moment.
In addition to Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shi Sheng, Yun Huanger and other Lucheng disciples, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er were also present. Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun, Lu Chengfeng and Zui Taoist, and even the disciples who have made some contributions in the Jinting Immortal Palace in Canglong Mountain over the years were also attending classes at the last seat of the Taoist Palace, but they could not ask questions.
"There is a peddler in the mortal world who is as tall as three inches, looks like a bark of a tree, is ugly, has a poor family and has no wife. After experiencing setbacks, he finally couldn't bear the poverty and hardship of the world, so he jumped down a cliff. What do you think is the merits of this person?"
Taoist Lu Cheng did not answer his disciple Youming's question as soon as possible, but instead told a story and asked many disciples in this way.
"The way of immortality is to value life, and it is infinitely conscientious to save one's life. This is a great sin."
"It is important to live and die, and this matter greatly damages merit."
This topic is very simple for these disciples in Lucheng. In any orthodox school of Taoism, committing suicide is an extremely serious crime.
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and continued to tell:
"But under the cliff, there was a deep ancient cave. The storm was swept up inside the cave and the peddler was sucked into it. It turned out that there was a demon who had been practicing for many years.
It was an old fox. The old fox smiled and said, "Anyway, you are going to die, so why don't you carry me out? From now on, you feed me blood and food. How about I give you wealth and wealth? ’
So, the peddler carried the old fox away from the mountain and used the gold and silver given by the old fox to buy land and marry a wife and concubine. However, every year, he would give the old fox a human life.
In this way, what is the merit of this person? ”
"The fire of the heart burns the three realms, and the Qingming hangs the jade hangs. As a human race, it is better to die before."
Shi Sheng frowned and said as he heard this. His philosophy integrates the Buddhist view of cause and effect, and at the same time uses Taoist Beidou Yuheng Star to monitor the world's rules.
"But if there is no such demon, he would have died. From this point of view, meeting this demon is not a bad thing for him."
Shi Sheng’s Taoist partner Yun Huanger said this, and he had different opinions.
"It was originally dead and had nothing to do with others, but now it is entangled with demons, but it is a tyranny of endless karma."
Shi Sheng and Yun Huang'er are a pair of happy enemies. This is how they have been through the past hundred years. Lu Cheng was not interested in listening to their noise, but continued to preach.
"After more than ten years, the old fox's magic power became deeper and he was no longer satisfied with the three animals he offered on weekdays. As people eat and eat once a year, they began to cast spells to harm the peddler's family. In just a few years, the old mother, wives and concubines at home died one after another. In the end, it even attached to the peddler's most beloved daughter.
At this moment, the peddler finally understood that the monster wanted his whole family to die, so he sneaked into the secret room and wanted to take advantage of the old fox's soul to kill its body while it was traveling. However, unexpectedly, the old fox returned in time and killed the peddler. To this day, what are the merits of this person? ”
Under the Dharma Platform, Lu Cheng's disciples, wives, concubines, and disciples looked at each other, because they were confused and confused, and they didn't know how to solve the problem.
Lu Cheng waited for a while, and saw no one answered, he shook his head slightly and sighed:
"This peddler has the blessing of his ancestors. If he commits suicide at the beginning, his sins will be the most serious. Although he is entangled with demons, he will not be able to kill himself. In the end, in order to protect his only daughter, he will be killed by the demons, and he will lose three points of his sin."
"But, Master, how do you calculate the person who was killed by a peddler in those ten years?"
Shi Sheng was still a little confused about the truth and stood up with a strange expression.
"The fourth brother, it's great that you have a compassion. Unfortunately, the world is the furnace, the creation is the worker, the yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are copper. All sentient beings are in this place, in the deep and hot water, in the fire, and in the thousands of kalpas... We are also in it. This is the meaning of our practice. No one in this world can help you except yourself."
People who practice Taoism sometimes should be selfish and should not easily interfere in other people's cause and effect and consume their own Taoism.
Just like Li Tieguai in his previous life, he only became Lu Dongbin for hundreds of years, many times it was not that he did not cross it, but that they would sometimes pull you off randomly.
"Master, I don't understand..."
"The Tao follows nature, what is nature? Objective, real, and real. Taoism also emphasizes guiding people to be good, but it will never ask you to sacrifice yourself to save others. Saving people is a good deed, but sometimes saving a person who does evil is an evil deed. The number of heaven and heaven is unpredictable, so the real person should be careful."
Facing his disciple, Lu Cheng could only talk about this.
Canglong Mountain, Golden Light Cave. Above the cave wall, there are golden Taoist scriptures with subtle meanings. Stalactites of different shapes are hung on the top of the cave, some are like sharp swords, and some are like lotus flowers.
And in the corner of the cave, there are several clear pools of water, and the water emits wisps of white smoke and spiritual energy, like a spiritual spring.
Taoist Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the stone platform and used his magic power.
As his hands and techniques changed, his body seemed to rotate slowly and slowly, gradually with his body as the center, a green light emitted from the left and a red light emitted from the right.
After a while, the body was still, and Lu Cheng's left and right hands were pressing upwards, but two bright lights, one red and one green, flew out.
This is the true blood of all insects that Lu Cheng merges at the same time with the gold fire ant and the East Dike locust. These two kinds of spiritual insects are fire and wood. They are originally the five elements that are mutually generated and restrained, but Lu Cheng has the foundation of the Great Five Elements True Spirit Change Method, but now they can be integrated and practiced at the same time.
If you succeed in practicing, you can cultivate the seventh and eighth levels of the Thirteen Changes of Xuantian at the same time, greatly accelerating the speed of Lucheng's accumulation of magic power.
This method is much more effective than taking elixirs, reciting Taoist scriptures, and seeking sudden enlightenment. However, the qualifications of most monks in the world are not enough to use this method.
Lu Cheng's Taoist qualifications were not enough, but he had the effect of improving his Taoist qualifications by practicing Taoist changes and ascension techniques.
The golden fire ant is an extremely rare spiritual insect. Their bodies are like pure gold, each of them exudes a blazing flame.
The flame is not an ordinary fire, but contains powerful spiritual power.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Their nests are made of a special metal ore. Under the long-term nourishment of the spiritual power of fire ants, these ores have become extremely hard and spiritual. They are a top-notch baby refining material. Unfortunately, they cannot be taken away easily, because if they are taken away, the evolution of the gold fire ants and even maintain the original state will become extremely difficult.
The East Dike Locust is another powerful spiritual insect. They are huge in size, and their wings spread out like dark clouds covering the sun.
The power of the East Pole Locust is extremely amazing. In the oscillation of its transparent wings, every time it fluctuates its wings, it can raise a strong wind, mixed with vigorous spiritual power fluctuations.
They come from the distant East Pole, where the environment is extremely harsh, but they also give birth to this spirit insect with strong vitality and unique spiritual power.
Lu Cheng sat in the center of the platform of the Golden Light Cave. His left and right bodies gradually crawled with golden fire ants and Eastern Locusts, which were arranged on both sides, clearly distinguishing them.
The golden fire ant gradually released a strong aura of flame, and the surrounding air seemed to be ignited instantly, and the temperature rose sharply.
Lu Cheng circulated the magic power in his body and began to guide the fire-moving spiritual power released by the golden fire ants. His hands formed complex Taoist magic tricks, flashing with glimmer, echoing the flames of the fire ants.
Slowly, the flame power of the golden fire ant began to slowly flow into Lucheng's meridians like silk threads.
At the beginning, Lu Cheng felt a sharp pain, and the power of the flame was like a sharp blade, cutting freely in his meridians.
Drops of beans of sweat came out of Lu Cheng's skin outside of the Taoist robe. As the power of flame continued to inject, his meridians began to undergo a wonderful change. The golden power of the hundred-poisonous golden silkworm Gu was naturally stimulated and fought against each other.
Real gold is not afraid of fire refining. Appropriate flames can further temper the sharpness of gold.
The power of gold in the meridians, under the control of Lu Cheng, was like a thousand small swords, constantly piercing through and tearing the flames.
As time goes by, Lucheng's original meridians gradually become more tenacious under the continuous burning of the spirit insect flames, and faintly reveal the dark gold color, just like the divine iron that has been tempered for thousands of times.
Moreover, the power of flames began to gradually merge into the meridians, and a hot and powerful magic power slowly flowed through the meridians.
Lu Cheng carefully guided the power of flames to operate in the meridians according to the seventh level of the Thirteenth Changes of Xuantian. This is a very fine process. If there is a slight mistake, it may lead to damage to the meridians and even all previous efforts are wasted.
Lu Cheng was fully focused and immersed his mind in the cultivation of Taoism.
As the power of flame circulated more and more times in the meridians, a faint red halo began to appear around his body, which was the manifestation of the gradual fusion of the power of the fire of the gold fire ant in his body.
After completing the initial fusion with the fire power of the gold-killing fire ant, Lu Cheng began to introduce more fire ants into practice.
When Lu Cheng completed the help of the seventh level of the Xuantian Technique of Gelatin, his body had undergone tremendous changes. The Taoist obviously felt that his body was much stronger than before, and there was a fiery force in his every move.
With his exquisite control of the power of gold walking, Lu Cheng weakened the power of the fire of the gold fire ant to the extreme. When this firepower was extremely weak, he introduced the spiritual power of the East Dike Locust.
He began to guide the East Pole Locust to release their power and slowly pull out the powerful force of the swarm.
This power surged towards Lucheng like a surging tide. Lu Cheng was open-minded and welcomed this power calmly.
When the power surged into his body, he felt as if he was hit by a mountain, and all the meridians in his body were painful to the bone.
"The body refining technique is the most unbearable thing. Huh, let alone my body refining technique is based on the magical technique."
Taoist techniques of change and ascension are the most orthodox methods of practice ascension.
However, Lu Cheng's specific outline of practice has learned a lot of key points of martial arts such as Ruyi Heavenly Demon Records. However, he has a very high understanding and uses his own Taoism as the basis to absorb nutrients, but he does not fall into the magic arts.
Lu Cheng quickly adjusted his magic power and guided the wooden spiritual power transmitted from the East Pole Locust swarm into his dantian.
In the dantian, the golden spiritual power of the hundred poisonous golden silkworm Gu, the wooden spiritual power of the East Dike Locust and the fire spiritual power of the previous golden fire ant began to fight and blend with each other. Three completely different forces collided and produced a strong reaction.
However, Lu Cheng wanted to use the Dantian as a furnace to temper these three spiritual powers perfectly. Of course, if there is no Great Five Elements True Spirit Change Method, the Five Elements Qi as the foundation, if this method of cultivation is not practiced by normal cultivators, there is almost no possibility of successful practice.
Three powerful magic powers in Lu Cheng's dantian collided and counterattacked, but under his suppression and control, they finally merged slowly.
This is a very dangerous process. If it cannot be controlled well, it may lead to rupture of the dantian and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lu Cheng concentrated all his mind and carefully guided this force to run in his body along the route required by the eighth level of Xuantian’s martial arts.
As the power of the East Ji locust continued to merge, the bones around Lu Cheng began to make crisp sounds. His bones became harder under the nourishment of this powerful mana, as if they were injected with steel toughness.
His muscles, bones and membranes also became tight and powerful under the influence of this magic power, and every muscle contained powerful explosive power. A powerful mana fluctuation began to appear around his body, and the fluctuation spread outward, making the runes in the Golden Light Cave flicker even more violently.
At the critical moment of cultivation, Lu Cheng felt that his consciousness seemed to have entered an ethereal state.
He could clearly feel the fusion of the three spiritual insect powers in his body, and could also understand the essence of the eighth level of Xuantian's martial arts more deeply. In accordance with the requirements of his martial arts, he constantly adjusted the operation and fusion methods of his magic power.
There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and I don’t know the year after the cold is over.
The practice day after day went on like this. Lu Cheng found a sixth-level top-grade alchemist through Gu Yunge, handed over the treasure medicine that Wu Chen Zhenjun had accumulated for a hundred years, and successfully refined a furnace of Tianchen Pills, which made eight pills. This is already a very high elixir-making rate, at least it must be far beyond Wu Chen Zhenjun's methods.
With the eighth level of Xuantian Thirteen Changes, the nourishment of Tianchen Pill and Yin-Yang Change Wine, Lu Cheng's magic power cultivation is a thousand miles a day, not to mention that he also reads Taoist books extensively. If he accumulates for many years and accumulates enough for one day, and enters an enlightenment state, the speed of magic power growth will definitely be far beyond the imagination of the ordinary Yuanying True Lord.
Yuwen Zheng, Wu Lingjun, Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shi Sheng and Yun Huanger, all worked hard to complete the tasks on the monster hunting list and accumulate merits from monster hunting. Occasionally, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger would take action when encountering suitable tasks.
Haiyuan City has extremely abundant cultivation resources. As long as a monk is here, he can find what he wants and assist in his practice.
