The blind person is good at hearing, and the deaf person is good at seeing. One source of absolute benefit can be used ten times as much as the teacher.
This is what is said in the "Yin Fu Jing".
This saying can also be applied to the current situation. After hearing the question, both Xu Tonghui and the big man closed their eyes to think more effectively. When they opened their eyes, it also meant the end of thinking.
Some people do not close their eyes when thinking, but they will subconsciously stare at a target object or point and then turn a blind eye, or they may roll their eyes unconsciously and raise their gaze to their forehead.
The habits are different, but the reasons are the same, and the principles are also the same.
In fact, this is also the case when meditating.
Most of human information comes from the eyes, so whether it is "concentrating" or "resting the mind", it is required to close the eyes.
But if you close your eyes completely, you will fall into coma because "the lonely yin does not grow long and the lonely yang does not arise".
So how to do it?
It is the same sentence. Based on understanding this principle, "The beauty of application lies in one mind."
This is the reason why Xu Guangling told San'er that practice is "hard" before. Along the way of practice, there are too many small points like this, too many to count, and any small key point is too many to count.
If you don't understand the key point, you won't be able to get through it.
Even if you make it through, there will still be a bigger shadow somewhere ahead due to the lack of foundation.
Then I couldn't go any further.
During the long journey, the skin of your feet was worn out and even more damaged. Maybe it was just a small grain of sand that got into your shoes. - If you want to go far, there really is no room for even a grain of sand!
What's more, many times, it's not a matter of a grain of sand at all.
Just like in previous lives, some cultivation methods are based on the "Dan Tian", so where is the Dan Tian located?
In Taoist canon, there are different opinions. Some say it is three inches below the navel, some say it is three inches below the navel, and some say it is three inches below the navel.
Whether it is three points, three inches, or one inch and three points, this is actually not the point. The point is "below the navel." - Is it from the navel downwards when a person is standing, or from the navel downwards when a person is lying down?
These are two completely different directions.
It also points to two completely different goals!
This should be the most basic question in this type of practice.
Unfortunately, many "monks" simply don't understand.
Because of this, their whole life of trying to practice cultivation is actually just spinning around outside the door.
Measured by another system, it is probably a lifetime effort, which is not even comparable to the level of a kindergarten, let alone an elementary school, middle school, or university.
If you don’t know where the door is, how can you talk about entering it?
This is just the first little tip.
What's even more terrible is that, whether it is done while standing or lying down, it seems to "make some sense" to people outside the door. In other words, this looks like it is right.
of.
The other one, it seems, is right too!
This is not a wall and a door.
Instead, they are two doors that look similar. Only one of them is fake.
This is only "more fatal", not "most fatal".
What's the most terrible thing?
The most terrible thing is that although the false door is difficult to push, it can really be pushed open!
It's just that after entering the door, you enter a small and remote courtyard.
It's like a huge and beautiful garden, but you just entered a small backyard through a false door, a small enclosed backyard. But you don't know, you think this is the garden, and then you say, "That's it.
A false name."
After passing through hundreds of thousands of orifices, I am still walking on a long road.
Therefore, this way is really incomparable to other ways, and you must have a teacher.
Without a teacher, it is impossible.
Where were the earliest divisions?
There is no earliest division.
The earliest people took one step, the later people took the second step based on this, and the later people took the third step...
Plant trees in front and enjoy the shade in the back.
That's all.
For Xu Guangling, in his previous life, the two old men served as his guides, and Jiantian Jing served as his "teacher" to a certain extent.
As for this life, as early as the beginning, he had already decided on the strategy for this life.
He regards himself as his teacher.
Use the height of the previous life to guide this life from the beginning.
The big goal is to "move forward", but the small goal is actually to "turn around". On any ladder from low to high, go all the way around.
To use a dark map as a metaphor, what he wants is not to find a way out of the map, but to use his vision and footsteps to explore every place on the map.
Use the experience of this entire map to start the next map.
After obtaining the "immortal true nature", he actually has the greatest capital.
Perhaps it is a capital greater than that possessed by the "saints" of this world.
And with such capital, he is qualified, calmly, and plans for the future.
"Everyone, please go ahead. I want to show up behind you."
Before this body really started to practice, Xu Guangling's eyes had already passed through the human level, the earth level, and the heaven level. The saint was not the end, but just an ordinary stop on the road.
The layout of the banker may bring him a little surprise in the future.
But that's just a free time move.
In the future, it may be a "good hand", or it may be a completely useless "idle hand".
None of this matters.
Whether it’s a skillful hand or an idle hand, it’s just scenery on the roadside.
He would drop such chess pieces casually along the way without any expectations. Just think of it as praying for his parents and the two old people in his previous life.
In the previous life, under his guidance and help, the two old men finally became qualified to "escape" to other worlds.
But this is also Xu Guangling's greatest ability.
It also has the help of a sky-gazing mirror.
I don’t know when we will see each other again, and I don’t know if there will be another time to see each other again. Just like three drops of water, they become clouds and rain, falling in different places on the planet, and then each circulates under the influence of creation.
Some may have merged into the ocean in the polar regions.
Some may also turn into clouds and rain again at the equator.
See you again?
Instead of looking forward to meeting each other, it is better to wish each other well.
Before parting, Xu Guangling had his first real drink.
Very drunk.
In fact, given his level, normally he would not get drunk anyway, even the two old men.
But they were still drunk.
So drunk.
Xu Guangling got drunk twice in total.
Previously, on the way to Jiuqu City, Xu Guangling jokingly told Xu Tonghui that he was "the son of luck."
Does such a thing as luck exist?
Xu Guangling didn't know.
Whether it exists or not, they are all things that he cannot touch at his current level, so it is okay to regard them as "illusion".
But he still wants it to exist.
"No matter how far I go, I will never forget the starting point."
From the starting point, two old men led him into this path.
——If I become the Qing Emperor in his future years, my reward will be that the peach blossoms will bloom.
In fact, for the two old men, he had already been the Qing Emperor once, not even once, but many times.
It's just that it's not enough.
——In his year I would be the Qing Emperor.
If I were the Qing Emperor in his time, I hope I could still see you two by my side.
Or at least, wherever I look, there are you.
That is.
Live up to fate and live up to fate.
Live up to your charm and live up to you.
Grief and regret have already occurred once in life, so it is best not to experience it a second time.
In the name of today's great master.
In the name of the future Qing Emperor.
Xu Guangling's eyes were indifferent, as if he had traveled through time and space, as if he was connected to the past and the future.
Xu Tonghui looked at Xu Guangling intentionally, wanting to indicate with his eyes that he had also figured out the answer, but he just didn't want to steal the limelight from the guy in front of him. But young master, you have to know that I am not stupid either!
But when he looked into Xu Guangling's eyes, he was suddenly stunned, and then completely lost his mind.
At this time, Xu Guangling's eyes turned slightly, switching from illusion to reality. He nodded slightly and said to the big man: "Well, not bad."
