Chapter 53: The Method of Confining the Spirit
Lingqing, on the other hand, began to study the method of arresting spirits and transforming them into gods.
At this time, he was closing his eyes and studying the spirit-binding method projected on the panel in front of him.
As a fundamental method, the spirit-binding method is used to enhance the minds of cultivators so that they can perceive, guide, and restrain the spirits of heaven and earth.
Therefore, this method is divided into four techniques: inspiration technique, spirit guiding technique, spirit restraining technique and spirit receiving technique.
As the name suggests, spirit,
It refers to the natural changing laws of heaven and earth.
It's touching and touching.
Inspiration is to inherit the changing laws of nature in the world with your heart, and then feel it as your spirit.
The original meaning of Yin is to draw the bow, and the extension means to draw.
To guide spirits, to use the power of the soul to guide the spirits of nature, to leverage the authority of heaven and earth, and to drive them as they wish.
Jie means to stop, to restrain, to restrict.
To imprison spirits is to imprison and fix the spirits of nature or the authority given to them by heaven and earth, just like living beings.
To accept, to receive, to accommodate, to integrate.
Naling is to store the imprisoned spirit power in a vessel, using the vessel as a carrier.
Simply capturing the enlightened spirit of nature into the mind is called refining; capturing together with the authority of heaven and earth into a vessel is called usage.
Feeling, leading, restraining, and accepting are the four techniques of arresting spirit.
This is not only a set of step-by-step and interlocking cultivation methods, but it can also be taken out separately for application.
In fact, this spirit-binding method is somewhat similar to the natural way passed down by the Druids.
Among them, inspiration and spiritual guidance are similar to natural feelings.
It also senses nature and guides and balances its spirituality.
The difference is that the spirit arresting method is to forcibly arrest this spirit and contain it on a certain object.
Then, through the method of concentrating and merging gods, they are gathered into various powers.
Finally, the magic in the Transformation of God method is used to unleash the power of natural spirituality.
The natural way is to accept the spiritual gifts of nature and turn them into your own natural force.
Then use this force to apply spells, etc.
It can be said that Separation takes the path of all dharmas returning to one God, and one spirit transforming all dharmas.
In fact, if you think about it seriously, whether it is the Heart of Nature, the Soul-Retaining Method, or the Zhang Zhe Sacrifice Method,
Or the process of copying scriptures yesterday, the fundamentals are similar.
The way of the Druid is to understand, practice the way of nature, and receive gifts.
The spirit-binding method requires inspiration and spirit-binding.
Zhang Zhe's method of sacrificing artifacts requires the power of mantra practiced day and night to be added to the artifacts.
The same is true for copying scriptures. It is necessary to integrate the insights while reading the scriptures into pen and ink and write them on paper.
Although the four methods are different, their essence is the same.
They all turn some principles into a special power through certain behaviors.
After realizing this, Ling Qing suddenly felt enlightened.
Although he doesn't know if this is the essence of practice, for him now he has found a basic method.
Applying this principle to daily wood cutting can also be very fruitful.
In the past, when he was chopping wood, he mostly used Wu Qinxi's skill level and experience to resolve the backlash caused by swinging the axe.
The same is true when carrying firewood, and the throwing and catching of the pole are also based on experience.
But now he can use the method of inspiration to sense and summarize the rules of chopping and carrying firewood.
Then integrate it into several commonly used behaviors.
After breakfast, Lingqing came to Chaishan and started to take action on his morning thoughts.
Sure enough, when he combined the Wu Qin Xi to chop and carry firewood, he initially summarized and sorted out a set of effective movements.
A piece of information appeared before his eyes.
"The characters have some insights while chopping and carrying firewood, and understand the unique force and exertion skills (1/7).
Note: After a character’s insights have accumulated to a certain level, they can be organized into general skills.”
"After accumulating to a certain extent, can you organize your insights into skills? In other words, create your own skills."
Ling Qing looked at the hint of confidence floating in front of his eyes, thinking deeply in his heart.
All skills are created by living beings.
This creative skill is nothing more than observing the principles of how things work and summarizing their laws.
Then, based on your own habits, you can neutralize the compatibility between your own behavioral habits and their laws, so that you can form a set of methods that suit you.
But it is simple to say, but not so easy to do.
Each step seems easy, but is actually very complicated.
But fortunately, in the process of creating this skill, Lingqing not only had the natural feeling of a druid, but also the induction method of inspiration.
When using natural feelings, as long as you do not adjust the natural balance around you, you will not risk touching the turbid and evil energy in the firewood tree.
Two kinds of perception ability allow him to clearly perceive the pros and cons of every step, every action, and the quality of the changes.
and capture the inspiration that comes instantly.
This does not require him to deeply understand the great truth contained in it.
He just needs to feel that it is right and effective, so he can use this action.
If this is wrong and will hinder your purpose, then give up and avoid this action.
The same goes for wanting to optimize actions to make them more effective.
You can rely on perception to find the best and optimal choice.
Despite all the advantages, it is still not easy to create a skill of your own.
Lingqing still needs to summarize, apply, adjust and summarize bit by bit just like when he first learned the introduction to Wu Qin Xi.
Of course, he had not yet learned the spirit-binding method, which made him unable to use it freely.
But in this way, while creating new skills, practicing natural feelings, and learning the spirit-binding method, I hope to get started as soon as possible.
Killing three birds with one stone also gave him more motivation when collecting firewood.
When people are doing something they are interested in, they often ignore the fatigue in the process.
The same is true for Lingqing, who is immersed in the process of creating new skills.
The fatigue that hung on him all the time had less of an impact on him.
When work ended in the afternoon, Lingqing once again had a staged realization and advanced the progress bar of innovative skills to 2/7.
After a brief cleaning and dinner, Ling Qing and the rest of the group went straight to the Sutra Collection Hall.
Not to mention the pure meaning that he had been constantly comprehending yesterday, which made Lingqing's thinking clearer and his understanding of the scriptures more thorough.
The others also gained something, although not as obvious as Ling Qing.
But they can also feel that in daily practice, the inspiration generated is a bit more than before.
When we arrived at the Sutra Collection Hall, we met with Senior Brother Wan and then went to the side hall.
Lingqing picked up the manuscript he copied yesterday and prepared to continue copying.
After still reciting the Xuan Yun Mantra silently, I began to read the scriptures silently.
Different from yesterday, when he read the scriptures yesterday, he focused more on the content of the scriptures and passively understood the meaning of tranquility contained in the meanings of the scriptures.
This time, I used the method of inspiration to carefully understand the changes in my mind while reciting scriptures.
