Chapter 896 Taishang Zhanqing
After returning to the disciples' residence, Mo Hua was not in a hurry to practice. Instead, he sorted out all the instructions given by Patriarch Dugu just now in his heart.
He copied all the key points into a jade slip and kept it for future reference so as not to forget it.
After that, he officially tried to practice the "God-Slaying Sword".
After some guidance from Dugu Patriarch, Mo Hua finally understood:
As expected, I practiced this God-Slaying Sword Style wrongly again!
The God-Slaying Sword is not something you practice like that.
The so-called killing one’s soul does not mean killing oneself. This "cut" means abandonment and transformation.
You need to uphold a heart of seeking Tao, abandon the small self, achieve the greater self, understand the origin of swordsmanship, and achieve the transformation of spiritual thoughts and swordsmanship.
Mo Hua had a complicated mood, and then took out an ancient bamboo slip of kendo.
On the bamboo slips, the sword pattern is simple and profound.
The ancient sword intention lingers in the sword pattern.
This is the Sword Style...
Mo Hua held his breath and meditated, concentrated, and then began to formally visualize the "Taixu Sword Style" engraved on the bamboo slips.
Set up your ego, forget about your own swordsmanship, visualize the Taixu sword flow with an empty mind, and understand the origin of the swordsmanship, so that you can get close to the source of the sword and fully understand the Taixu swordsmanship.
After thoroughly understanding the way of swordsmanship, you can integrate the origin of the way of swordsmanship into your own soul as the ancestor said, and use the true "Taixu Sword of the Divine Sword" that is powerful enough to kill gods!
Mo Hua has a profound foundation in spiritual consciousness. He is proficient in formations and various spiritual methods. He has also swallowed up a large number of evil spirits. Through meditation, he has eliminated huge distracting thoughts.
He has even played a little bit of "Tao Heart Seed Demon".
So when it comes to "cultivating the mind" alone, Mo Hua is better than many golden elixir monks who are hundreds of years old.
"Set up the ego, forget about the way of the sword, have an empty mind, and visualize the Taixu sword flow", he did it very easily.
But the problem lies behind.
Mo Hua has been meditating on it for a long time...
In the Taixu Sword Stream, the ancient sword intention was what it was before and what it is now, without any change at all.
There is no feeling of "enlightenment" in ink painting.
His swordsmanship level is still so shallow.
His understanding of swordsmanship has not increased at all.
Mo Hua looked attentive again, staring at the bamboo slips for a long time, and finally had to realize that he was lonely...
He couldn't understand Jianliu.
He didn’t realize anything about the way of swordsmanship.
Mo Hua thought it was because he didn’t put in enough effort.
The next day, after class, Mo Hua returned to the back of the disciples' quarters and stared at the bamboo slips for three full hours.
But I still didn’t see anything.
The so-called secrets of sword style, the origin of swordsmanship, the avenue of swordsmanship... have no trace at all.
Mo Hua frowned, then reflected for a moment, and then gradually understood.
The problem lies in this "ego".
Cut off the ego and become the way of the sword.
But ink painting doesn’t even have an “ego”.
The "ego" in swordsmanship is the "underlying" of swordsmanship that has been accumulated since childhood, through the cultivation of spiritual swords, the practice of swordsmanship, and the understanding of swordsmanship.
This is the "small self" in the words of Patriarch Dongxu, but in fact, it is not small at all!
Mo Hua put himself in the shoes of Patriarch Dugu, and roughly estimated that if he could start from scratch and cultivate his swordsmanship to the level of "ego" in the eyes of the ancestor...
That should be a genius at the level of Linghuxiao. He started practicing swordsmanship at a young age and practiced it for decades, even hundreds of years, until he reached the golden elixir and achieved a small degree of swordsmanship. Only in this way can he cultivate the "ego" of swordsmanship.
Only this kind of "ego" is qualified to be killed.
With the "ego" in this realm as the foundation, it can be used as a ladder. Only after cutting it off can one go to the next level, understand the sword style, and climb towards the origin of the sword.
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.
He finally understood now why his ancestor had always asked him to practice swordsmanship before, and said that he was not good at swordsmanship and could not practice the spiritual sword.
What the ancestor said is actually right.
The true art of transforming spiritual thoughts into swords, everything is based on the "do of the sword".
I don’t have enough knowledge of swordsmanship to be able to transform into a sword.
If you don’t have deep attainments in swordsmanship and little success in swordsmanship, you won’t be able to kill the ego at all, you won’t be able to understand the sword style, and you won’t be able to learn the ultimate “god-killing style”.
But now, I don’t even have the swordsmanship of the “ego” that was killed.
Not to mention talking about sword style, origin, and avenue...
"I've been working on it for a long time, but I still can't learn..."
Mo Hua sighed, a little disappointed.
Though if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
The True Sword Art of Taixu Spiritual Mind is the supreme sword art of Taixu Sect Kendo. If it is so easy to learn, it is not worthy of being listed as the "supreme" inheritance.
What's more, I'm not even a swordsman.
I don’t have any background in kendo, but I want to learn the supreme kendo inheritance. It is indeed a bit fanciful.
But Mo Hua didn’t want to give up.
He thought about it again and again and found that this was another "dead knot".
To cultivate the Divine Sword, you must kill your soul;
To kill one's life soul, one needs to kill one's ego;
To kill one's ego, one needs to develop an "ego" of swordsmanship for him to kill...
I don't have this "ego" realm. Naturally, there is nothing that can be cut in the way of the sword. From the very beginning, there is no way to go.
The mood of the ink painting is complicated and difficult to describe.
This God-Slaying Sword was perfected by him.
He can't practice orthodox.
I practiced it by myself. Not only did it go wrong, it also hurt my soul.
With one sword strike every day, the wounds in the soul accumulate silently, and they will need to find "spiritual marrow" to repair them later.
And "Divine Essence" is very scarce now. It is not only needed to repair the soul, but also to break through the later stages of foundation building.
If you think about it, it’s a vicious cycle again.
If you can't learn to kill the divine sword, the day when you can kill the evil fetus will be far away.
I can't kill the evil fetus, I can't convert the disaster into divine marrow, and further transform my spiritual thoughts. I can break through the late stage of foundation building. I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey and the horse month...
Ink painting His scalp was slightly numb and he couldn't help but sigh.
But it’s useless to sigh blindly. The Tao still needs to be cultivated, the sword still needs to be practiced, and life still needs to be lived.
“Next time I go to the forbidden land, I’ll ask my ancestor for advice...”
Mo Hua forcibly put the incident behind him, calmed down, and continued practicing and attending classes.
Two days passed like this.
Mo Hua got up in the morning and practiced as usual. After practicing, he took out the bamboo slip as usual and used the sword intention on the bamboo slip to strike his life soul with a sword to suppress the evil fetus and refresh his mind.
This set of actions is all due to inertia.
But after the chop was completed, Mo Hua suddenly realized that he no longer needed to chop.
This is not how you practice the God-Slaying Sword.
I don’t really want to kill myself.
Mo Hua sighed again, a little bored, and then sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, wanting to check the injury on his soul.
Fortunately, his soul has been used to being hacked for a long time. Although there are injuries, they are not too serious.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and looked inside again, taking a look at his own soul.
On the soul, there are mottled sword marks remaining, as fine as fish scales.
These are the "masterpieces" left by Mo Hua himself and his insistence on self-cutting every day.
"Sometimes being too diligent doesn't seem to be a good thing..."
Mo Hua muttered in his heart, and then he wanted to withdraw from the sea of consciousness.
But just at this moment, I glanced at the ink painting and suddenly froze.
He saw that the sword intent still remained on the wound of his soul.
This one is nothing.
Use Taixu Sword Intent to kill your own soul, leaving a wound. At the same time, there will definitely be a part of the Sword Intent left in the wound of the Divine Soul.
This is a normal thing.
However, looking at it now, Mo Hua felt his heart tremble, as if he had an amazing idea, gradually lingering in his mind...
"Quenching the gods with the sword, the soul of life is cut off... Cut off the ego, observe the sword flow, understand the origin, and integrate the swordsmanship..."
"The soul of life is cut off by itself, and the final result is to kill the soul. The origin of the sword is blended into the soul..."
"If this is the case..."
Like a bolt from the blue, Mo Hua's expression was shocked:
"Then I will use Taixu Sword intention, killing my own soul, isn’t it equivalent to... engraving the sword intention in my soul? ”
"The sword intention contains the origin of kendo."
"This also means that I am carving the origin of kendo...in my soul through sword marks and wounds?"
< br>"Afterwards, as long as this origin is completely integrated with the soul, won't the final effect be the same?"
The only difference is that the orthodox method of practicing the God-Slaying Sword requires first practicing the "small sword" "I" the way of swordsmanship, then cut off the ego, understand the sword style, and integrate the way of swordsmanship.
As for me, I gave up all the steps from cultivating the "ego" to realizing the sword style, and went straight to the point of integrating the swordsmanship in one step!
Kendo without ego, it doesn't matter.
If you don’t understand sword style, it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand the origin of swordsmanship.
Abandon all these steps and directly kill yourself with your sword.
The sword will cut itself, leaving sword marks and wounds in the soul.
In this way, the origin of swordsmanship in Taixu Sword Style can naturally merge with the wound into one's soul!
This is a more thorough and thorough "cheating" than "kill me to become a saint"!
And this "disadvantage" can only be done by oneself...
Others cannot withstand the blow of Taixu's sword.
But you can.
No one else can repair the soul's injuries.
You can do it yourself.
As for Taixu Sword Style, you don’t need to understand it, you just need to integrate the original intention into your soul and use it directly.
The ancestor himself also said, "The nature of a gentleman is not different, he is good and fake in things."
Use the law as a raft to seek the great road.
Having gained the great road, abandon the law and raft.
Form is not important.
Mo Hua’s heart was pounding.
Until now, he really had a premonition that the door to the secret of the God-Slaying Sword was gradually opening to him.
Having made up her mind, Mo Hua immediately held her breath and contemplated herself.
The spiritual mind looks at itself, sensing the wounds on the soul, and at the same time sensing the sword intent in the wounds.
The wound was small and stinging.
The meaning of the sword is profound and difficult to erase, and the origin of the sword is constantly flowing within it.
Mo Hua endured the severe pain and directly integrated the sword intention into his soul along the wound.
This process was very painful, but Mo Hua gritted his teeth and endured it.
The ancient sword intention seeped into the wound in the soul, causing pain, but it gradually merged with the soul of the ink painting.
Like a blade, it flows into the flesh and blood and circulates in the body.
But these "blades" are also like ancient elixirs. Every time they are circulated, they transform into a ray of sword intent, which blends seamlessly with the soul of the ink painting.
This is the fusion of Taixu Sect's ancient swordsmanship origins, and the soul of Mo Hua, which is comparable to a "god" after being transformed into Taoism.
Mo Hua's spiritual thoughts turned into swords, and he finally began to truly enter the realm of "killing gods".
After that, you only need to cut one sword every day to temper part of your origin, which will accumulate over time.
Use the flesh and blood of the soul to fuse the origin of the sword to temper the god-slaying sword.
He has been tempering until the day when the real "God-Slaying Sword" is born...
That day is the death of the evil fetus.
The ink painting is full of spirit and bright eyes.
Then he tempered his soul for a while according to the method he had summarized, and then stopped for the time being.
Because it really hurts.
Using Taixu Sword Intent to kill your own soul is painful enough.
Now we have to melt the fragments of sword intention into the "flesh and blood" of the soul, which feels more or less "Lingchi".
Therefore, we can only do it step by step and don’t rush it.
Mo Hua rested for a while and regained his consciousness.
Now that the cultivation of the God-Slaying Sword is on the right track, Mo Hua is free to consider another issue...
"The Supreme Sword of Love..."
Mo Hua muttered in a low voice and frowned.
This is another "supreme Taoist method" that Patriarch Dugu passed on to him that night in the forbidden area of Jianzhong.
I don’t dare to learn ink painting. He felt something was wrong.
Taixu Divine Sword and Taishang Qingdao may look a bit similar, but in reality, they are completely different styles.
One is the profound and upright swordsmanship.
One is a ruthless, extreme and eccentric method.
Among the existing secrets of swordsmanship in Taixu Sect, Mo Hua has never seen any records similar to "cutting love" so far.
"Also, Ancestor Dugu, why did you suddenly teach yourself this thing?"
Mo Hua frowned and thought back.
The ancestor looked as usual that night, but there was always a slight sense of dissonance between his words.
Did something happen to the ancestor?
Was the person who "preached" to me that night... the ancestor himself?
Is there really someone, no, something, that can transcend the powerful Ancestor Dongxu and preach to him?
Mo Hua’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Things have become mysterious...
But it has been passed down. The question now is, do you want to learn this "Tai Shang Qing Tao"?
Mo Hua recalled this "emotion-killing" method one by one, and finally had to admit that this was an extremely profound, extremely rare, and extremely powerful "law" of the great road.
After practicing it and understanding the Tao, you may really be able to "cut" everything with a single thought or a sword.
But Mo Hua always feels that there is something wrong with this method.
The problem lies in the word "killing love".
Only when a person has feelings can he be considered a human being. If his feelings are cut off and he is ruthless and has no desires, can he still be considered a human being?
If we are no longer human beings, what kind of enlightenment can we have?
Even if the Tao is realized, what kind of Tao will it be if it is realized in a "non-human" state?
"Ancestor...could he be lying to me?"
"Or is there some bad guy secretly lying to me?"
"I still Want to learn? ”
...
Mo Hua touched his chin, thought about it, and thought it should be possible...try to learn it first, after all, this is the method of "enlightenment".
But you can’t learn everything, because there must be some mystery in it.
Take the essence and discard the dross.
To put it simply, just watch and learn.
The profound meaning of "cutting off love" taught by "Dugu Patriarch" came to Mo Hua's ears again:
"There is nothing in the heart, cut off the self, the unity of humanity, the integration of the law of 'cutting off', and the body The sword uses the soul as the sword, and its sharpness is incomparable. There will be nothing in this world that cannot be cut!"
This sounds very strong, you can learn it.
But "cut off all your earthly emotions, and reach a state of being ruthless and without desires, selfless and without thoughts, without thoughts and persistence..."
This is a bit weird, you can read it. Start studying.
Mo Hua then tried to practice the "Supreme Love-killing Way" according to these methods.
He began to cut off his feelings.
No thoughts, no attachments, no intentions, no self...
Cut away the emotions...
His face gradually changed from gentle to indifferent, There is even a hint of cold cruelty.
It seems that everything in this world is an obstacle to his pursuit of truth, and everyone must be killed.
He himself, his relatives, his friends, his teachers, and the people he loved must all be killed...
Only by killing them all can he attain enlightenment.
Mo Hua couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:
"Only by killing everyone... can we achieve the Tao..."
"Kill them all..."
"Kill..."
The mood of the ink painting is blank, the face is distorted for a moment, and then begins to blur, the facial features are like makeup after "removal", dissolving little by little , eliminate...
“That’s not right!”
A moment later, Mo Hua suddenly woke up.
He covered his face, stopped all thoughts, and used "meditation" to forcibly stabilize his mind.
After a full stick of incense, I finally recovered from this state of mind.
Mo Hua has lingering fears.
"This thing is so powerful and terrifying..."
He almost really killed all his feelings.
Mo Hua frowned.
Once his feelings are cut off, he will be annihilated and his spiritual thoughts will be out of control. He dare not even think about what he will become.
"Zhanqing..."
Mo Hua pondered in his heart.
Love can be cut off a little, but not all.
"Cutting one's emotions" is for the sake of enlightenment, rather than actually killing one's emotions for the sake of killing one's emotions.
If they were all killed and stopped being human beings, the problem would definitely be even bigger.
He realized this in his heart when he devoured the divine marrow, transformed his divine consciousness into Taoism, and merged divinity and humanity.
Since divinity and humanity can be integrated, then the Tao of "Zhan Qing" should also be able to integrate.
“We can’t kill them all, some feelings must be retained...”
"The kindness of parents in raising children must be kept in mind..."
"The kindness of master in preaching must not be forgotten..."
"Uncles, aunts and friends in Tongxian City , the friends I have made along the way, the senior brothers, sisters and junior brothers of Taixu Sect, the sect elders, Mr. Xun and the Dugu ancestor..."
"And Aunt Wan, Yu'er, Uncle Gu ..."
After thinking about it, Mo Hua realized that there were really many people he wanted to remember...
Communicating with others leads to feelings of friendship, which are also the basis of a person's emotional existence.
If we give up, sooner or later people will lose their original intention and become empty and numb.
“You have to find an anchor point...”
However, along the way, there are too many people to keep in mind, and it is difficult for Mo Hua to find an “anchor point” for a while. " to determine the degree of "cutting off love".
Father, mother, master, cause and effect are too heavy, and the bond is too deep.
Because the bond is too deep, even if the love is cut off, it is the last "cut" and it is not so easy to forget.
But once you really forget, it means that you have reached the source without knowing it.
It means that your own humanity is hopeless, and it is too late to look back now.
Other people can also be the "anchors" for killing love, but Mo Hua is always afraid that he will be too busy and be careless for a moment, and he will be "killed".
Once it is beheaded and the friendship is ended, it will be completely forgotten.
In this way, if we meet again in the future and others know us, but we secretly cut off the "friendship" and completely forget about others, it will be very embarrassing.
"Who should I use as the 'anchor' for killing love..."
Mo Hua was a little confused. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly came up with a good idea:
< br>"Little Senior Sister!"
Use Little Senior Sister as the anchor point for your own practice of "Tai Shang Qing Dao".
When I am practicing, I occasionally think about my little senior sister.
If you feel that your feelings are weakening, it means that something is wrong with your practice.
If the feelings are still there, it means that you still have "humanity" and your friendship as a human being has not been lost.
As long as the human nature is there and the heart of seeking the truth is there, there will be no problem.
There is actually a lot of "dross" in other human natures that can be cut away.
Greed, anger and ignorance lead to resentment and hatred.
My heart is as unstable as a mayfly, and my desires are like the churning of sea water.
All other distracting thoughts of fame and wealth can be cut off.
After cutting off these miscellaneous desires, washing away the worldly world, and seeing through the superficial appearance, the Taoist heart becomes pure, and the ambition becomes firmer.
In this way of killing emotions, one can cultivate the "Supreme Love-killing Way" that "seems to be ruthless but has feelings".
Mo Hua was delighted, then frowned again.
Just like this, does it mean that I have practiced incorrectly again?
Mo Hua thought about it and decided that it didn’t matter.
“As long as you can practice...”
It’s not just once or twice anyway.
You get used to it.
When he thought of this, Mo Hua felt calm in his heart.
Then he began to formally slay his emotions and enlightenment, and sever his own emotions according to the method passed down to him by the "Dugu Patriarch".
After beheading for a while, he meditated on the little senior sister.
If the feelings are not weak, it means that you have no problem cutting it.
If you feel that your feelings have faded, then stop for a moment and reflect on the way you just "cut off your feelings" to see if there is anything wrong.
Until the young senior sister’s exquisite beauty came to mind clearly again, I continued to enlighten myself.
Seek justice from heaven and preserve human nature.
In this way, with "Little Senior Sister" as the anchor, Mo Hua's practice of "Tai Shang Love Killing Way" deepened little by little...
Of course, Taixu God Killing Style, He didn't forget either.
Every morning, he first used Taixu Sword Style to kill his own soul, allowing the origin of the sword to deeply merge with the wound of his own soul.
At night, he practiced the "Tai Shang Love Killing Way" again.
According to this supreme method of "enlightenment", understand the way of "killing love", and then integrate this way of cutting love into a sword with spiritual thoughts.
In this way, he cultivated the "Taixu Sword of Divine Sword" and the "Taishang Love Sword" at the same time.
Both of these two methods were discovered by him "accidentally". Now that they are mixed together and practiced together, what will eventually be cultivated? The ink painting is not clear, but after thinking about it, I feel that it should be Not too weak.
At least there is hope for killing the evil fetus.
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
His requirements are not high, as long as he can kill evil fetuses...
...
There is no sun and moon in cultivating the Tao.
Because of the addition of two new "methods" of practice, Mo Hua's time is tighter every day and the tasks are heavier.
He has to practice, he has to take classes, and he has to give formation lessons to thousands of junior brothers and junior sisters in the Three Mountains.
Between classes, we have to learn formations, learn the Divine Sword, and practice the Tao of Killing Love.
Mo Hua has no distractions, focusing on cultivating Taoism and not caring about others for a moment.
On this day, when Mo Hua was cultivating the Tao of Taishang to Kill Love, suddenly the cause and effect began to change.
Gu Changhuai's pale and bloody face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Mo Hua was stunned.
"...Uncle Gu?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment and felt something was wrong, so he took out the messenger and sent a message to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu , are you okay..."
No response.
Mo Hua waited patiently for a long time, but Gu Changhuai still didn't reply.
"What's going on..."
Mo Hua frowned, remembering the blood-sucking demon sect, the dozen or so golden elixir demon cultivators, and the blood-sucking demon sect that Uncle Gu mentioned during the Chinese New Year at the Gu family. Daotingsi mobilized manpower to encircle and suppress the demon cultivators.
“Are you carrying out the task of Daotingsi, you cannot use the messenger order, or...”
"Uncle Gu, will he be okay..."
Mo Hua felt a little uneasy in his heart.
……
Night falls.
Cheongju Castle.
Several Gu family monks were driving a carriage in a hurry. They were covered in blood, their eyes were anxious, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.
When the carriage entered the city, it was very fast and windy all the way to Gu's house. One person immediately jumped off the horse, not caring about anything else, and hurriedly shouted:
"Hurry! Someone is coming! Go and ask for the Alchemy Elder!"
The originally quiet Gu family suddenly became noisy.
A moment later, the elder alchemist of the Gu family came over, opened the curtain of the bloody car, and saw the blood stains all over the car.
And Gu Changhuai was lying in the carriage, half of his Taoist robe soaked red with blood, his face was pale, and he was unconscious.
His Yintang was completely dark.
"The evil spirit entered the brain, and the hall was dark..."
The pupils of several Gu parents immediately trembled, and their hearts became cold.
“This is...a sign of death...”
