Chapter 247: Theory of Form, Spirit, Sitting and Forgetting, Meridian Transplantation (4k)
Although there is no longer a collision of auras between the two sides on the field, no correspondence between heaven and man, and yin and yang, the accumulated dark clouds will still take quite some time to disperse.
The rain was still pouring down from the sky. In the square not far away, the heroes crowded under the eaves of the nearby palace to take shelter from the rain. They stretched their necks and looked towards Zhao Qing and Xiaoyaozi who had finished the battle, as well as the people beside them.
The sweeping monk looked over.
After witnessing these earth-shattering battles, they had various expressions of awe, worship, jealousy, or fear, and they also had new views on the pinnacle of martial arts.
In particular, the dozen or so old monks of the Xuan generation from the Shaolin Temple, who originally thought of trying to cause trouble for Zhao Qing under the leadership of Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan after the matter came to an end, could not help but feel fear at this time.
I no longer have such thoughts.
……
Are you really going to get a glimpse of the realm of "harmony"? What kind of unique skill is "Twelve Tribulations of Taixuan"?
After hearing Xiaoyaozi's invitation, Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart. If Mingxiao had the opportunity to witness the scene of Xiaoyaozi's official ascension, he should gain a lot of insights.
Judging from his situation, the path of "form and spirit unite in emptiness" should be feasible, and it does not seem to be mutually exclusive with the path of "reaching the ultimate yin" and "reaching the ultimate yang".
Having said that, if the two are not mutually exclusive, can the two routes be combined with each other to lay a stronger foundation?
Also, if the state of "Hedao" that Xiaoyaozi is about to cultivate is placed in the main world, is it equivalent to the level of "lower six qi"?
But from the perspective of combat power, before he breaks through in this battle, he may not be able to defeat the "Six Internal Organs Revealing God" in the second level of Shenjin, and even against the "Five Internal Organs Transforming God" in the first level, he probably won't have any advantage. p>
After consolidating the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man", I roughly have the top combat power in the third level of Gangjin "Hunyuan Ruyi". I can touch the bottom level of Shenjin, which is better than Xiaoyaozi.
The strength shown is 20 to 30% weaker.
The reason for this should be due to the limitations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world. However, the power system of the main world has also undergone nearly ten thousand years of evolution and improvement;
Even though it is said that in ancient times, there were many special beings and innate gods and men who were born in the "Six Qi Realm" or even the "Tianyan" level, such as Emperor Ku of the Gaoxin family who was "born as a god", so the "Six Qi"
There is not much research and polishing below the level.
But when it comes to the background, it is not comparable to this world where the number of people who have achieved enlightenment and become immortals is less than ten fingers.
Of course, in terms of spiritual realm and special paths, the lower world also has a lot of merits.
In Zhao Qing's view, Xiaoyaozi's combat power is not that outstanding, but if he analyzes the route he takes from a multi-faceted development perspective, he may not be able to develop many corresponding means of improving combat power, which is basically consistent with the strength system.
Flat.
Finally, if the other party successfully ascends to a higher level world, does this mean that his "dream" world, from a certain perspective, actually includes the upper world of this world?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing had some thoughts about "ascension" and planned to give it a try at the end of the "three-year period".
And just as she was thinking, Xiaoyaozi's area slowly shrank inward, from ten feet to five feet, naturally rejecting rainwater, just like Zhao Qing's five feet and the sweeping monk's three feet.<
/p>
At the same time, the hole-ridden sleeves on his arms seemed to be mended by invisible needles and threads. The holes quickly disappeared, and it seemed to be restored to a brand new state.
After the spirit and energy are completely integrated and there is no stagnation or hindrance, the manipulation of the true energy in the body can no longer be described as "like an arm and a finger", but has reached an extremely subtle level, and a stream of true energy can be divided into thousands of threads.
There is no difference between each other.
But such subtle manipulation is only limited to the inside of the body and cannot be manifested outside the body. Not to mention, the manipulation of the essence of heaven and earth in the outside world can lead to such subtle changes in its evolution.
In Zhao Qing's induction, Xiaoyaozi's breath was not obvious, and he quietly controlled the turbid part of the essence of heaven and earth, quickly transforming it into solid filaments, which were used to repair Taoist robes.
This method can be compared with, or even exceeds, the "Gang Qi Transformation into Soldiers" used by Peng Yu.
Others didn't know it, or simply thought it was the power of the gods, but Zhao Qing understood the principle, couldn't help but admire it, and had the inspiration to use a similar method to strengthen the power of sword energy.
"Fellow Taoist Zhao Qing, the method of attaining the Tao that I have understood is to start from the three elements of 'form, Qi, and spirit'. The method of 'controlling Qi' is used as the medium of 'the contract of form and spirit as one', and the intersection of heaven and man."
', and then gradually cut off the connection with heaven and earth, and finally achieve the separation between heaven and man."
Before the fight, Xiaoyaozi never thought that he could take the opportunity to break through and almost break the "last move". Overjoyed, he took the initiative to introduce and explain:
"The so-called 'separation of heaven and man' means to completely grasp the aura around oneself, separate it from the outside world, and form a realm that is integrated with the spirit. The essence of it is similar to that of 'returning the void'.
It’s still about the word ‘forget’.”
"Forget yourself, forget your form, forget your boundaries, and only after you forget your boundaries can you 'separate'." He pointed out the method with a solemn expression, and added: "As for the theories related to 'forgetting', as far as I know,
The first one to recommend is "The Theory of Form, Spirit, Sitting and Forgetting" written by Patriarch Sima Chengzhen."
"Sima Chengzhen?" Zhao Qing recalled secretly in his heart, remembering the deeds related to this person.
Sima Chengzhen is the fourth generation descendant of the Shangqing sect of Taoism after Tao Hongjing. He is a master-level figure who inherits the past and continues the Taoist sect. He was once honored as the emperor's teacher by Tang Ruizong and Tang Xuanzong. He led Taoism into its heyday. He also knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He is a rare all-rounder.
It is worth mentioning that Sima Chengzhen was Li Bai’s lifelong friend and was half of his teacher in Taoism and poetry.
According to Xiaoyaozi, although he obtained the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Skill" by chance, there is still a considerable part of the inheritance, which comes from the Taoist lineage passed down by Sima Chengzhen.
Perhaps the reason why the Xiaoyao sect attaches great importance to various arts is also based on this habit.
I only heard Xiaoyaozi briefly describe: "The purpose of 'Zuo Wang' is: 'To separate from the form and go to wisdom, which is the same as Datong, is called Zuo Wang. If you sit and forget, why don't you forget? You don't know it from the inside, and you don't know it from the outside.
The universe is one with the Tao, and all worries are resolved.'"
"On the stage of seeking the Tao, one must first sit down and forget. Those who sit down and forget will be in a state of destruction. Therefore, first get rid of all delusions, and then fix your mind. Above the fixation, there will be nothing to cover. Below the fixation, there will be nothing and no foundation.
If it is touched but does not move, then it is in harmony with the Tao, which is called peace and tranquility."
"The Tao has deep power, and it changes the shape and spirit. The shape follows the Tao, and becomes one with the gods. It is called a god-man..."
"The form follows the Tao, and becomes one with God." So is this an accurate description of the "god-man" in "Zhuangzi"?
Zhao Qing suddenly had an enlightenment in his heart, and understood the sutras of "respecting faith, breaking ties, retracting the mind, simple things, true insights, calmness and attaining the Tao", and achieved the "unity of form and spirit" through the seven-level "sitting and forgetfulness" step by step.
The general path to "achieving the Tao and becoming an immortal".
At the same time, listening to Xiaoyaozi's narration of "Zuowang Lun", she also made a judgment, knowing that she was currently in a state between "True View" and "Taiping".
"The state of "Tai Ding" can break the threshold to "refining the void".
At this moment, a clear voice came from the distance, continuing Xiaoyaozi’s narration:
"The divine nature is emptied, the body does not change or perish, and the form is the same as the Tao, so there is no life or death. If the form is hidden, the form is the same as God, and if it is manifest, the spirit is the same as the form, so it is harmless when passing through water and fire, and has no shadow on the sun and moon. There is no existence or death.
Ji, in and out."
Zhao Qing thought, the reason why Xiaoyaozi's combat power is lower than expected may be partly because his practice is more focused on defense and survival.
She looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe walking out of the aisle next to a palace in the distance. The two of them bowed to Xiaoyaozi, but when they were ten,
Zhangwai was stopped by his weak support.
Since Wang Yuyan arrived at the Shaolin Temple, the two of them had already arrived here and looked for a temporary residence from the monks in the temple, but they were not interested in participating in the meeting to denounce Xuanci.
When they heard the sound of fighting outside and sensed the cold and sharp sword intent, the two came out in time to observe and recognized Xiaoyaozi who was fighting with Zhao Qing - although Su Xinghe had never seen the face of his master.
But Wuyazi also left relevant portraits.
"Junior brother! Master has been looking for you for a long time, why did you come out..." Seeing Wu Yazi suddenly appeared, Child Elder's heart was shaken, and then she beamed with joy, and hurriedly ran out in the rain and rushed towards him,
A long afterimage was left behind.
Just when she was about to give Wu Yazi a hug between an adult and a child, Child Elder suddenly noticed something strange about his legs and feet, and immediately stopped forcibly, with a complicated look on her face:
"Junior brother, your leg...is it seriously injured? Do you need my help? By the way, Master is here, so it can definitely be cured!"
Pushing Su Xinghe away who looked surprised, Child Elder lifted Wu Yazi directly into her arms, and ran towards Xiaoyaozi's position with him in her arms, her movements much gentler than before.
When she was halfway back, seven men and one woman suddenly ran out from where the heroes were taking shelter from the rain not far away.
Among them, an old man with a black beard holding a square board, another old man with a strange appearance holding a qin, and the "King of Hell Enemy" who is very famous in the world, the three of them followed the child elder, seeming to recover the child who was taken away.
Wu Yazi.
The other five people, two are dressed as Confucian scholars, one looks like a carpenter, holding a short ax and carrying a long saw, one is dressed like an opera singer on the stage, and the last woman is a middle-aged beauty.
】
After they rushed out, they ran to a place about ten feet away from Su Xinghe. They ignored the rainwater accumulated on the ground and knelt down together, saying: "Master, you are as healthy as ever. The eight of us are extremely happy."
It turned out that these eight people who suddenly rushed out were the eight friends of Hangu who were accepted as disciples by Su Xinghe. They were expelled from the disciples because of Ding Chunqiu.
When Su Xinghe left Leigu Mountain, he ordered his disciples from the Deaf and Mute Sect to look for the eight of them, telling them that they no longer needed to worry about Ding Chunqiu's threat, and allowed them to return to the sect.
After seeing the master they had not seen for many years in the Shaolin Temple, the eight friends of Hangu were so excited that they rushed out and saw the child Lao taking away their master. Kang Guangling, the most powerful martial artist, Fan Bailing, the chess idiot, and Xue Muhua, the genius doctor, came to stop him.
.
"Alas!" Su Xinghe looked at the five disciples who were kneeling, and hurriedly looked at the other three, trying to stop their behavior.
Just now, he could see clearly from the side and knew that his master Wu Yazi did not resist when he was hugged horizontally. He guessed that the girl with extremely high light skills should be his master. This move was purely out of good intentions. p>
However, he acted so recklessly without caring about Master Wu Yazi’s face. This uncle really has a personality!
Su Xinghe couldn't help but think about it, and briefly explained a few words to his disciples before running towards Xiaoyaozi's direction.
……
Seeing Child Elder acting in such a hurry and rushing over with Wu Yazi in his arms, Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly and blocked the raindrops falling on them. In a flash, he took Wu Yazi, straightened it, and held it.
I held his wrist and checked the condition of his injury.
After discovering that Zhao Qing had practiced Xiaoyao sect martial arts, Xiaoyaozi had predicted that Wuyazi might not have reached the level that could trigger the spiritual brand in the Seven Treasures Ring. The person who actually triggered the brand was actually Zhao Qing. After all, even in the heyday of martial arts during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, masters who could reach the realm of "returning to the void" could not appear in every generation.
"The meridians in the lower body were completely shattered. Such an injury is not serious."
Quickly coming to the conclusion of the investigation, Xiaoyaozi glanced at the worried-looking child Lao and the calm-looking Wuyazi. He did not ask about the cause of the injury, but said: "But using the 'meridian transplantation' method,
It can still be cured."
Meridian transplantation? Zhao Qing thought. Although she had learned some advanced medical skills from Wu Yazi before, such as replacing eyeballs, reconnecting severed limbs, etc., this was the first time she had heard of the idea of "meridian transplantation".
If the meridian is completely shattered, then transplant it and replace it with a new one. This method does make sense in theory. No wonder Wu Yazi once said that his master might be able to cure the injury by taking action himself.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in her heart, and was a little surprised to find that Xiaoyaozi had already started treating Wuyazi through her induction.
Although the induction was vague and difficult to detect clearly, Xiaoyaozi probably did not use other people's meridians. Instead, he intercepted some tiny fragments from the meridians of Wuyazi's upper body and transferred them to his body with extremely subtle techniques.
The meridians of the lower body are where they should be.
These newly independent "meridian seeds" slowly absorb the internal energy of the body and the essence of the world from the outside world, gradually promote recovery, and develop towards complete meridians.
Sure enough, it is better to transplant other people's meridians than to use your own. Zhao Qing had a clear understanding in his heart, and from this special medical skill that exceeded the imagination of most experts, he thought of the conversion method between "form, energy, and spirit"
.
She took two steps closer and suddenly realized that Xiaoyaozi's medical skill was actually a demonstration of the mystery of "qi changes to become tangible, and shape changes to life", which gave her a deeper understanding of this aspect.
The reason why the other party performed the treatment in public was firstly because he was confident, and secondly, it was also to repay his kindness for helping him break through.
At the same time, from the medical skill of "meridian transplantation", Zhao Qing further thought of the deeper "healing" ability, and speculated that using the same method, the effect of "rebirth of severed limbs" might be achieved.
