Chapter 70: Prelude to the Tribulation (Part 1)
Kong Zhang was startled, but Su Xuanji said calmly: "Don't be surprised. In these years, I have not been sure of overcoming the catastrophe. I have tried every means to delay the catastrophe. I even thought about finding a cave where the flow of time is different from that of the main world, and imitating Jiang
Fu usually hides in and delays it for a few more years. But it's useless to think about it. Even if it takes a few more years, I still have no confidence that I can survive these forty-ninth calamity. What's more, Jiang Fu hid in the cave and eventually fell."
Su Xuanji stood up and walked to the door of the room, looked into the depths of the sea of clouds and said: "If Qingnang hadn't sacrificed his life that day, willing to cause the fourth and ninth calamities for himself, and then use his body to block the calamities of the two of them, I would have already stopped them.
Turned into ashes, lived in vain for so many years, but never had a happy day."
Kong Zhang was speechless, deeply shocked in his heart, firstly because of what Su Xuanji had said before, and secondly because he was grateful for his kindness. Although he was a cheap master, he could still see his care and love for him at this moment.
"I still want to ask a question." Kong Zhang put away his admiration. Su Xuanji was not a pretentious person. Since the moment of dawn is when the fourth or ninth calamity will come, the time now is naturally extremely precious.
If you can know more about it, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation.
"Tell me, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." Su Xuanji said with a smile. Since he was severely injured before the 49th calamity, he had deduced countless times over the years that he was not sure of surviving the calamity. He had also been afraid, but in the end it was ordinary.
After coming down, especially when he was about to face a catastrophe, he felt calm and just wanted to have more words with his disciples before the catastrophe.
Kong Zhang thought for a while and said: "My cultivation of spiritual consciousness comes from a book called Searching for Gods, but there is only the first volume, which only contains the method of cultivating spiritual consciousness to the realm of earth transformation. Now I have no knowledge of how to cultivate spiritual consciousness."
I have to think about my own method. So I want to know how to cultivate my spiritual consciousness until my life and soul are unified?"
Su Xuanji said: "The rise of the human race is not accidental. Some other creatures do not have all the souls. Only our human race, although our body is weak, has acupoints that reflect the celestial phenomena, and we have three souls and seven souls, so our potential is unlimited."
"The so-called three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside. Only the soul of life is in the body. The soul of life has seven souls. Only when the seven souls are united can the soul of life be truly awakened. These seven souls are the soul of strength, the soul of spirit, the soul of essence, and the soul of earth and soul.
, Linghui Soul, Tianxiang Soul, Tianchong Soul, each soul is opened, it is a state. Before the seven souls are united, you can awaken one by one as long as you have the appropriate method to cultivate your spiritual thoughts. Even if you don’t have the appropriate spiritual thoughts,
You can also create your own cultivation techniques, as long as the techniques are effective, why should you stick to those who came before you?"
After hearing these words, Kong Zhang had an epiphany. He had been worried before that he had not followed up on the search for the divine art. He did not know whether the method of cultivating divine thoughts that he discovered while practicing the thunder method was correct or not.
"If you only want to outlive others without innovating, don't say that Buddhism will not appear at all. In our Taoist sect, why have the various sects created laws and formulas for thousands of years?" Su Xuanji said slowly.
.
Kong Zhang understood the idea clearly and nodded slightly, already understanding the mysterious meaning.
The strength of human cultivation lies firstly in inheritance, and secondly in that it does not stick to the past, but constantly improves and creates new things, and then combines it with inheritance. Only in this way can it grow from weak to strong under the rampage of ancient demons, until now it can compete with the demon clan.
Even counter-pressure the opponent.
"However, there are more than a thousand new methods in the world, but they are finally accepted by the sect. Those who have collected the scriptures must have gone through thousands of times of hard work." Su Xuanji added.
Kong Zhang nodded slightly. As far as the Shushan sect of Taoism is concerned, every series of dharma has been created and continuously improved by successive ancestors to reach its current status. To this day, they are still constantly trying to improve, but now
It is already surprisingly difficult to improve on the basis.
Kong Zhang also realized some secrets of spiritual cultivation when he used his spiritual consciousness to explore the ore and practice thunder techniques, but it was only half a claw. If he wants to form his own system, he is still thousands of miles away and must continue to work.
Only by practicing and learning from the jade from other mountains can one day be able to innovate on our own.
"You can only try to unite the seven souls into one after all seven souls are opened. Otherwise, even if they are unified, it will affect your Dao foundation." Su Xuanji spoke quickly, "But how to unite the seven souls into one, there is no such thing in this world.
The way to make it clear is to find the volumes at the back of Searching for Gods, which will not contain them. After the forty-nine tribulations, I found many scriptures left by predecessors in the sect's Sutra Pavilion and read them.
The conclusion is that if you want to unite the seven souls into one, you must have a strong will and a common heart."
Kong Zhang frowned and said: "I can understand the tenacity of will. Our practice is to go against heaven. Without tenacity, it is impossible to cultivate the great path, but the common heart does not understand why."
"The common heart is just a guess on my part, and it is not found in any classics. After the seven souls are opened one by one, in addition to having a strong will, you must also find the motivation to bring the deep consciousness of the seven souls back into one.
.”
"If you want to unite your life and soul, you have to ask yourself directly, why do you practice?"
Kong Zhang was shocked and finally understood the meaning of Su Xuanji. After the seven souls were opened, he had to find a common will and make all seven souls agree. Only then could the seven souls be united like a thread and have a chance to unite their souls.
one!
"This matter is easy to say, but difficult to say, it all depends on the individual. For cultivators, some people have simple minds and focus on cultivation. It is easier at this point, but it may be difficult to awaken the seven souls.
"There are also people who find it easy to cultivate their spiritual consciousness, but their minds are too complicated and it is difficult for them to find the common will of the seven souls."
Su Xuanji smiled faintly, "I looked through the records left by my predecessors and found that many people embarked on the path of cultivation in order to seek immortality. But in the future, when your soul and soul are united, and all seven souls are open, can you also use this as a way to achieve immortality?
Original heart? It should be noted that the seven souls are our deepest consciousness areas. No matter how many times you tell yourself, if your original heart is not the same, this common will will not be formed, and the unity of life and soul will be greatly hindered. Otherwise, there will be great obstacles to the unity of life and soul.
, among all the cultivators of our Taoist sect in the past, why don’t everyone practice the True Yuan Taoist method to the peak of Qi refining, and reach the unity of life and soul with their spiritual consciousness before breaking through the realm and forming elixirs? Even I myself have not done it, because although I can’t
I seek immortality, but I deeply love Qingnang. Deep in my heart, I have the thought that if I could become a Taoist couple with Qingnang, I would be willing to die tomorrow."
Su Xuanji's words could be said to have revealed all his secrets. Kong Zhang suddenly realized that although only Su Xuanji had summarized this experience, in fact, the predecessors of various sects and sects throughout the generations must have vaguely felt it during their cultivation.
There are various obstacles encountered by the unity of life and soul, but no one can record them in detail, or they deliberately fail to record them.
Because in terms of cultivation, some things are inherently contradictory. For example, Su Xuanji said that the love between men and women may hinder the unity of seeking life and soul. However, Xuanmen created a method of dual cultivation for the cultivation of true Yuandao. This is actually two things.
