Chapter 14: Mingtai Reflects the Right Path (Part 1)
After a long time, Gui Wujiu slowly walked to the gate of the cave and stepped in.
I casually put a piece of "quiet soul incense" into the Qi-nourishing copper stove, nourishing the Qi in silence, and Gui Wujiu's complicated emotions gradually calmed down.
Thinking back on all the events that happened that day, Gui Wujiu suddenly realized that his own mind cultivation was still far away from the state of perfection.
All kinds of cultivation experiences in the past twelve years also flowed through his mind.
Based on the quality of his spiritual roots, even if his understanding of the mystical principles is not hindered at all, the time required to practice the "Nine Yuan Shu" will still be four to five times longer than that of ordinary disciples. It would take others three years and six months, but it would take him nearly
Eighteen years; and the time limit that the man gave himself at the beginning was twenty years.
However, Gui Wujiu never wanted to be discouraged. He worked hard and diligently, and finally completed all the cultivation of the ninth level of Zhenqi in only twelve years, which was a full third faster than expected.
As time goes by, Gui Wujiu's progress in cultivation is slow, and it seems that the low quality of his spiritual roots has become known to everyone. Faced with all kinds of strange looks, slander and suspicion from his fellow disciples, Gui Wujiu has always turned a blind eye and listened but not heard. But I keep my ways and cultivate myself.
Doyle, what can others say? It's a bit like strolling around in poverty.
Later, the profound teachings of Gui Wujiu became known to everyone, promoted by Wen Jinyuan, and highly praised by Zhouzhang Pavilion. He almost became half the teacher of the disciples of Zhenqi Realm in Chongxiao Pavilion. At least on the surface, most people were not interested in it.
I respect him quite a lot. When circumstances change, I turn from arrogance to reverence, and my pure heart of taking no blame has not been affected by this.
Therefore, Gui Wujiu has always believed that his own character cultivation is extremely good.
But after waiting for this whole day, I realized that I was wrong. It was not that I had really cultivated a solid Taoist heart that is irreversible and ever-changing, but that card.
Talisman——It is like a reassurance, allowing oneself to face those small honors and disgrace indifferently.
As for the diligent practice, what does it count? Yesterday, the fundamental thing that I had relied on for twelve years suddenly failed, and I couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
Gui Wujiu suddenly had a clear understanding: Only when there is no fear between life and death, gain and loss, can the true harmony of Tao and heart be achieved.
The struggle for the Dao and the establishment of Dao thoughts can never be achieved with a bit of perseverance and perseverance. Otherwise, most of the peasant laborers among ordinary people are hard-working. Could it be that they are cultivators of the Dao?
Is the character not as good as this generation?
The so-called Taoist heart is actually a kind of torture, asking you if you dare to risk everything to pursue the glimmer of opportunity in the vast world.
On the road to spiritual cultivation, you must not wait for others to give you opportunities, but you must take the initiative to fight for them! Although I have stayed in the True Qi Realm for twelve years, compared to the vast majority of monks in this world, my progress is still ahead. And
The true successor selection meeting ten days later will also be a stage for him to fight hard.
Good opportunities are hard to find after they have passed, and those who have gone ahead must fight for the road ahead.
After understanding this level, Gui Wujiu seemed to feel that the faint clouds covering the spiritual platform were gradually dissipating. He lowered his head to pick up the broken talisman and threw it into the copper furnace. As a blue flame sprang up, it gradually turned into
ash.
The most urgent task is to use the limited time to pass the "flashback" level. Spiritual monks who have not passed this level usually have difficulty in fully realizing their potential, and it is impossible to compete for the top three.
Historically, Chongxiao Pavilion spirit-shaped disciples have used the method of "revisiting the old place" to break through this level. Together with the disciples of the Zhenqi Realm, they re-rehearsed the rounds in the "Nine Yuan Book" where they had been blocked. This time
Taking action is equivalent to standing on a higher mountain and looking back at the path you have traveled. You will naturally have a clearer understanding of the ups and downs, pros and cons, gains and losses. Once you understand every step, the spiritual form and Yuanguang will naturally reach a state of tameness.
But Gui Wu does not intend to take this approach.
Gui Wujiu washed his hands by the pool in the center of the cave, then took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a green gift ring and spread it on the stone table. It was called "paper", but it was actually a blank scroll, about a foot and a half high.
, the length is probably only a few feet after it is fully opened. It is only rolled up and half of it is rolled up, and only three feet of it is opened to cover the table.
Take the elixir, grind the ink, and adjust your breathing secretly.
After half a cup of tea, Gui Wujiu's mind had reached its clearest state. He took a deep breath and dipped his pen in ink.
His body was as upright as a pine tree, and his right hand holding the pen was moving with strength, one hook, one stroke, a silver hook and an iron stroke, and it was the word "Nine". After repeated twists and turns, there was another word "Yuan". The white scroll suddenly appeared when he looked up on the right side.
Two big characters appear:----"Nine Yuan".
After these two words, Gui Wujiu suddenly sped up his writing speed, and a line of neat small words appeared straight like flowing clouds: "The way of the Nine Yuans is formless and formless. It is inspired by nature and has movement and stillness."
Turning around, he raised his sleeves and wrote the second line: "Voidness is born from existence, existence is born from nothingness, inaction is the beginning, and the mother of action is the mother of action." In this way, each line has four sentences, writing quickly.
Due to his childhood experience, Gui Wujiu's calligraphy is very good. His writing style is mellow and elegant, revealing the majestic greenness, and his transcendent and free style overflows with beauty and harmony. In the secular world, just based on this calligraphy, he would be considered a famous calligrapher, at least.
There is absolutely no problem in having enough food and clothing.
However, the strange thing is that every four sentences I write, I leave a large blank space. There are too many "blank spaces", and it is a bit uncoordinated in terms of the layout of the calligraphy.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and a several-foot-long scroll with small black and white characters was spread on the ground. Look at the last paragraph on the long scroll, which is the word "General Secret". The text below is not in the format of a four-character sentence. The handwriting follows the pattern.
Wu Jiu's writing flowed out: "The so-called Tao in Taihe contains the nature of ups and downs, ups and downs, movement and stillness, and mutual understanding. It is the beginning of life, sway, victory and defeat, and the beginning of bending and stretching. It is also a little simple, and its nature
After all, it is vast and solid, and it is said to be the foundation of cultivation and the ancestor of elixirs."
At last the word "ancestor" was finally settled. Gui Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the pen.
It took Gui Wujiu half an hour to memorize the "Jiu Yuan Shu", the technique for cultivating the True Qi Realm.
Looking up and down for a moment, Gui Wujiu took up his sleeves and put away all the pen and ink. Then, as if by magic, he changed his hand to a small pocket-sized pen as thick as a chopstick. The original inkstone with a musical instrument pattern on the stone table disappeared as well.
I got a small and simple round three-legged inkstone.
What's in the inkstone is not ink, but bright red cinnabar that's delicious and dazzling.
Gui Wujiu pondered for a moment and dipped his fine pen in red.
The left hand slowly rolled up the long scroll in his hand until the line "Ding Huo is soft, the inner nature is clear and melting, prosperous but not strong, declining but not endless" is in the middle of the long scroll. It is not to blame that the large blank space on the right side of the text is much smaller.
The calligraphy handwriting of Zhubi: "Wuzi, July, Yin asked:..."
Although Gui Wujiu's own cultivation is slow, it is stuck at the speed of the movement of his spiritual machine. The understanding of Taoism is so superb that it is difficult for others to achieve. In the past few years, he has been solving problems for fellow disciples and has always answered questions fluently. But Gui Wujiu has always answered questions fluently.
Jiu was not content with this, but a doubt gradually arose in his heart: Why do they have so many questions?
According to common sense, the state of true energy is the first step in the long journey of self-cultivation. The Taoist techniques are simple and do not involve any mystery. Looking at the practice methods of various schools and sects, they are all the first-class kung fu of breathing in and out in a regular manner and guiding thoughts.
.Intellectual barriers to the understanding of Taoism, at least after the Jindan realm, should never appear in this most basic link.
