Seeing Zhao Qing's thoughtful expression, Xiaoyaozi paused and added:
"Only by 'self-forgetting', eliminating the boundaries between heaven and man, and no longer distinguishing them, can we achieve true 'unity', see the void with our true self, and let the soul go in and out between existence and non-being, towards the 'harmony'
Move forward with the highest ideal."
"What is forgetting? Why forget? Get rid of the beauty, forget things and myself, eliminate the atmosphere and dirt, so as to achieve the merit of keeping quiet; the body is the same as the purity of heaven, the virtue is the same as the emptiness of heaven, and the mind of man is used to interpret the essence of heaven
Taixu finally becomes true with Tao."
Zhao Qing couldn't help but think deeply after listening to it, and vaguely came up with some related insights, "Forgetting the form to nourish Qi, forgetting Qi to nourish the spirit, forgetting the spirit to nourish the void", all the steps of "refining" in practice correspond to
The "forgetfulness" of the soul.
She thought for a moment and then asked: "Buddhism's Mahayana Bodhisattva path is called 'to save all living beings'. We use it as a material for spiritual practice to promote each other. To save others is to save oneself. Punishing evil and promoting good is the same as 'forgetfulness' and
There is no conflict with spiritual practice, so what’s wrong with it?”
Xiaoyaozi nodded with a smile and said: "You are right. What I mean is that everything needs to be grasped within a certain limit and in a state of relative balance with one's own abilities. The best way is to achieve harmony, yin and yang, and mutual growth." "If Murong Longcheng could have successfully restored his country back then, after the shackles caused by the original deep obsession were released, it might no longer be an obstacle to his cultivation, but would instead bring him an explosion after a round of suppression, entering'
The level of refining the void."
"However, if you want to go one step further and pursue the ultimate state of 'attainment and ascension', you should not maintain too deep entanglements with people in the world. As practitioners, we should only pursue the way of heaven, and we don't need to pay too much attention to worldly affairs.
."
"Everyone who has reached the peak level can sense a certain mysterious power that exists at a higher level, or they may ignore worldly things from then on, thinking that there is a difference between immortals and mortals; or they may pursue peace of mind and freedom.
Feel free and worry-free."
"There are also people who set great ambitions and make great aspirations, taking them as the 'Tao' they rely on, and want to cultivate the Tao to perfection. But the 'Tao' here is more of a tool for the soul to achieve perfection." p>
"The three routes may have different levels of difficulty, but in fact, there should be no distinction between them."
The sleeves of Xiaoyaozi's robe swayed lightly, emitting a soft wind, and the whole person floated towards the main hall in the distance, saying: "These remarks can be regarded as my personal opinions on 'Refining the God to Return to the Void' and 'Refining the Void to Combine the Tao' after many years of practicing Taoism.
Speaking from experience may not be accurate..."
……
As the sound of the piano dissipated, the hypnotized people on Shaoshi Mountain gradually woke up.
The first ones to wake up are the simple and resolute Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan whose obsession has been dispelled, followed by Xuan Cheng and Xuan Ku in the depths of the Shaolin Temple, and then Zhiguang, A'Zhu, A Bi and others. The order is related to the character of mind and internal strength.
.
Because Xuan Ku did not want to clash with Qiao Feng as a master at today's denouncement meeting against Xuan Ci, he stayed in his room in the Zhengdao Academy to pay tribute to those who had been harmed by Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang over the years. Reciting scriptures and praying to the Buddha did not come to the square.
Seeing the people around him gradually waking up, Zhiguang first restrained the bodies of Xuanci and Ye Erniang, then sighed and persuaded everyone not to continue fighting:
"Heroes, you are hostile to the old layman Xiao Yuanshan and regard him as an enemy of the Central Plains martial arts. There is really no reason."
"Thirty years ago, whenever there was any dispute between Song and Liao, the layman Xiao always gave advice to the emperor and the queen mother of Liao, urging them not to use force."
"Because the Emperor and Queen Mother of the Liao Kingdom loved martial arts, the advice of the old layman Xiao really played a role in making the two countries cease fighting and reconcile, which has great merits that benefit all people."
"The Song and Liao dynasties did not engage in war, and the lives of the soldiers and civilians of the two countries were unknown. No soldiers were lost, and no more military food was consumed. The people had enough food and clothing, and lived and worked in peace and contentment. What a good thing it was..."
"Is there such a thing?" Most of the people present couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard this, feeling that they had made the wrong enemy by recklessly targeting the Xiaos and his son.
……
Seeing Xiaoyaozi's Qinggong flying dozens of feet, Zhao Qing admired him in his heart, followed him up, and secretly thought about what the other party had just said.
Looking at the crowd below the main hall, Xiaoyaozi waved his hand to stop Tianshan Child Elder who suddenly appeared and wanted to communicate with him, and spoke again:
"In my opinion, there are too many people who do evil in the world. There are many bandits and bandits in every prefecture and county, and no one can deal with them all."
"There are millions and tens of millions of people suffering in the world. Even if the kings of all countries in the world suddenly become saints and wise kings, they will not have enough power to save them all."
"Lao Tzu has a saying: 'As you learn more and more, you will lose more and more for the Tao. If you lose it, you will lose it again, and then you will do nothing. Do nothing and do everything.' Excessive pursuit of 'doing meritorious deeds' will actually damage human nature."
He turned to look at Zhao Qing and said calmly: "Such a truth is obvious when it comes to the country and history. Even if thousands of people are saved, in the long history of thousands of years, it will be obvious. It’s just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.”
"What's more, 'the saints will not die, but the thieves will continue.' If the method of promoting morality is not perfect, it will lead to many hypocritical people in the world who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and produce many hypocrisy behaviors that use morality to attack others."
"As the saying goes, 'Knowing that everything that heaven and man do is natural, then let it go internally, and keep it externally in things. Be the same as all mysteries, and let it happen.' Just do it naturally, and' Doing nothing but doing something is the right principle."
Who said we can't save thousands of people? It's not worth mentioning? Why can't we establish an organization that specializes in enforcing the law, punishing evil and promoting good? Zhao Qing doesn't really agree with Xiaoyaozi's current statement.
Since I have practiced the martial arts of Xiaoyao sect, although I have no explanation, I can be regarded as one of the descendants of Xiaoyaozi. It is reasonable for the other party to want to convey his philosophy of cultivation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It is estimated that his understanding of himself comes almost entirely from the two trials of evildoers in Xingzilin and Shaolin Temple, so he feels that he is too extreme and wants to return to the path of meditation.
However, what Xiaoyaozi said was "the hypocrisy of using morality to attack others." The situation of the people not far away who denounced and attacked Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng indeed reflects this and is worth thinking about.
Not ready to continue this topic, Zhao Qing glanced at the Tianshan Child Elder who was pretending to be majestic but with a bit of curiosity in her eyes. He noticed that she had the temperament of a nine-year-old and a ninety-year-old at the same time, but she
She is worthy of the name "Tong Lao".
Among them, the nine-year-old temperament mainly comes from the child's body; the ninety-year-old temperament comes from her true energy and spirit.
Sensing what happened to Child Lao, Zhao Qing also gained some understanding of the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu".
As Xiaoyaozi said before, and as Wu Yazi learned from the news, this internal skill majors in "Shaoyang" and is extremely vigorous. Based on the concept of "life is also the beginning of death, death is also the beginning of life", with "
"Spring" is the starting point, the four seasons rotate, the shape and Qi alternate, and the true Qi bears the aging of the body.
Judging from the extent of Tong Lao's body maintenance, the life-extending effect of this skill is even higher than that of Mingyu Gong, and there does not seem to be the limit of decline at the age of 100 mentioned by Wu Ming. Even if you are extremely old, it will not have much impact.
A breakthrough in cultivation.
The "Xiaoyao Yufeng" currently practiced by Xiaoyaozi is suspected to be based on the "Eternal Eternal Life Changchun Kung Fu" and integrated with the "Beiming Magic Kung Fu" and "Xiao Wuxiang Kung Fu" and other techniques, but he doesn't know, and
What special abilities does it have?
Similarly, when preparations were complete, Xiaoyaozi no longer continued to talk about the way of "selflessness". Instead, he gently flicked his sleeves, stimulating soft waves of air downwards, and his body floated into the air.
His whole body stood tall in the strong wind that was flying and swirling, and there was an empty space under his feet. He seemed to have nothing to rely on.
Invisible ripples are stirred up around Xiaoyaozi, serving as a node for the exchange of internal and external spiritual energy between heaven and earth. At the same time, invisible, there is a huge power that can shatter everything.
But seeing Xiaoyaozi's figure moving with the wind, he smiled leisurely and invited Zhao Qing to fight: "Little friend Zhao Qing, I heard that you defeated Li Congqian in five moves. I am very interested and want to communicate with each other.
”
"Okay." Zhao Qing sensed Xiaoyaozi's state in the sky and marveled at his ability to control the wind. He used the five fingers of his hands to shoot out a large area of dense sword energy, hitting the cyclone surrounding the opponent. With a radius of ten feet, cold light crisscrossed the area, and the sword energy sometimes intertwined, sometimes merged into one, changing endlessly, weaving from all directions into a giant connected network, getting denser and heavier, spreading endlessly in all directions.
Under the advanced level of "Tai Chi Clutch", although the sword net was interfered by the cyclone, it still maintained balance and continued to shrink inward at a constant speed, aiming to suppress Xiaoyaozi's floating space in the air.
, no dodge.
In an instant, the world seemed to be completely enveloped by the chilling aura. The bright sword light flashed, dazzling, rivaling the brightness of the sun hanging in the sky, and seemed to turn into a long river of sparkling sword aura, moving towards the target.
Rushing away.
Twenty or thirty feet away, in the square, the heroes who had just woken up in the square felt a strange light suddenly appear in the corners of their eyes. They couldn't help but look up and were stunned by the scene in the sky in the distance.
Even Qiao Feng and others who had experienced the Xingzilin incident were amazed when they saw the countless sword energy that seemed to cover the sky again, and sighed at the endless road ahead in martial arts.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by thousands of sword energy, Xiaoyaozi just smiled indifferently, and his body began to swirl with the surrounding aura, as if it had turned into a huge tornado in an instant;
And in an extremely contradictory way, it achieved both inward and outward rotations at the same time, sucking the external sword energy into the bottom of the tornado, and then spit it out from the top, completely dispelling this sword move.
The power of.
As if borrowing the power of the upward sword energy, Xiaoyaozi seemed to be weightless and flew upwards for more than ten feet again, reaching an extremely astonishing height, and chanted:
"'Fu Liezi walked against the wind, cold and kind, and after ten days he turned back.' My way is not just the way of Zhuang Zhou, but closer to the integration of Liezi's way and Lao and Zhuang's learning."
The Way of Liezi? Zhao Qing was shocked and immediately understood a lot of content.
In "Xiaoyaoyou", "The perfect person has no self, the gods have no merit, and the saint has no name." The three refer to Song Rongzi who does not seek fame and fortune, Liezi who walks on the wind, and the highest "Ride the righteousness of heaven and earth, control the six
"The Identification of Qi" is the ideal state.
No wonder Xiaoyaozi calls his own state "god-man" rather than anything else, because "god-man has no merit" is exactly Zhuangzi's evaluation of "Liezi Yufeng".
She was thinking secretly in her heart, but Zhao Qing's attacks did not slow down at all. She used the "Wanxianghaoxu Gong" to the extreme, and the aura around her body curled into a ball, turning into a strange space that kept collapsing inward, attracting the world between heaven and earth.
Aura everywhere.
The lingering haze quickly turned blue, and in an instant it condensed into a bright blue-white sword light. It dispersed and gathered again in the blink of an eye, turning into a cold air that converged inward, with a radius of half a foot.
The sword circle was caught in the air between her hands, ready to be thrown at any time.
Inspired by the Sweeping Monk's five "Seal of Liberation from Troubles", Zhao Qing made some improvements to the "Ice Soul Cold Light" to make its cold energy more restrained and its shape more changeable, allowing it to adapt to various battle situations. p>
Xiaoyaozi's rotating aura has an astonishing suction force. It may be able to easily deflect and absorb small sword auras, but to what extent can it affect a large sword circle with a diameter of three feet?
But Zhao Qing could not take action immediately, because she suddenly discovered that in her mental induction, the entire Shaoshi Mountain seemed to be spinning with Xiaoyaozi, turning into an indivisible whole.
This is of course an illusion, but it also shows that the opponent's momentum has an overwhelming advantage.
When it comes to controlling wind and cyclones, Zhao Qing's Ming Yu Gong is at a clear disadvantage for the first time compared to Xiaoyaozi's Xiaoyao Yufeng, which has been honed over hundreds of years.
However, facing Xiaoyaozi, who was at a higher level and had been practicing for more than two hundred years, and could be called an old monster, her ability to use such a skill was completely within her expectation, and it further aroused the fighting spirit in her heart.
.
】
Xiaoyaozi, who was soaring dozens of feet high in the sky, suddenly stopped for a moment through the changes in the cyclone around him. The magically flying bird suddenly stopped in mid-air, still chanting:
"Liezi Huangdi" said: 'The eyes are like ears, the ears are like noses, and the noses are like mouths, there is no difference. The heart is condensed and the shape is released, and the bones and flesh are all melted. Unconsciously, the shape leans on it, the feet walk on it, and the wind moves east and west.
Just like the dry shell of a wooden leaf. I don’t know that the wind is riding on me. Am I riding on the wind?'"
Liezi studied Taoism with Lao Shang for nine years. He reached a state where his mind and spirit are concentrated, his body and mind are unified, and his body seems to have ceased to exist. Finally, he mastered the art of "riding the wind".
In Zhao Qing's opinion, this is somewhat similar to the later Taoist inner alchemy practice of "both form and spirit are wonderful, and they are in harmony with the Tao."
/p>
"The essence of husband's Tao is nothing more than a phantom, which contains all things. The world will be destroyed, but emptiness will not be destroyed. If both form and spirit are wonderful, both form and spirit are imaginary."
The so-called "wonderful form and spirit" is to transform the body into the direction of the spirit, becoming more and more light and illusory, and finally ascending to the sky together with the spirit.
It is "as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, but not knowing where it stops, fluttering as if left alone in the world, emerging as an immortal and ascending to immortality."
Obviously, Xiaoyaozi has achieved extremely high attainments in the practice of "beautiful form and spirit". His body is much lighter than ordinary people, so he can float in the air with the help of wind and not fall for a long time. p>
Having said that, when the body is so light and weak, although it can easily get rid of various external forces and reach a peak in defense, I am afraid there must be something missing in terms of attack.
While Zhao Qing was thinking like this, Xiaoyaozi also finished his passage about Liezi and began to switch from defense to offense.
I saw tens of thousands of tiny wind whirlpools around him. At this moment, they absorbed a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, compressed inward, and seemed to turn into a solid mountain across the air. They became extremely solid, like falling meteorites.
Generally, carrying an unstoppable force, he rushed straight down in the direction of Zhao Qing.
