Ziyuan had a rare lapse before. Just when she was feeling a little angry, she heard Li Yundong's words. She couldn't help but taunted her: "You haven't learned how to walk yet, and you want to learn how to run? Hum, I can tell you that the great supernatural power has long been achieved."
It has been lost. Nowadays, almost all practitioners start with small and medium magical powers, and then they can finally develop the effects of great magical powers. “
Li Yundong was stunned: "Lost? This skill of cultivating the Qi of Heaven and Earth has been lost? Isn't it a pity?"
Ziyuan also sighed and said: "Yes, although I finally reached the realm that can be achieved by great supernatural powers through the cultivation of small and medium supernatural powers, but after all, I did not obtain it through the cultivation of great supernatural powers. I don't have that kind of great supernatural powers and life."
It’s such a pity that I can’t experience the vastness that comes with it! I can’t experience the feeling of taking the essence of heaven and earth for my own use!”
Li Yundong smiled and said: "Your practice is very strange. It seems that you want to experience various feelings in the world?"
Ziyuan glanced at Li Yundong and said meaningfully: "Of course, I have always been a spiritual practitioner before. Only by experiencing more of various world situations can I be strong-willed and have a better chance of winning when facing thunder." As he said,
She sighed softly in her heart: My master said that if I want to survive the catastrophe, I must pass your test, otherwise there will be no hope of cultivating immortality in this life.
But, but, how can I pass your test? Zi Yuan thought quietly, her heart was in constant confusion and her reasoning was still confused.
Now Ziyuan has already regarded the cuneiform poem left by her master as the puzzle goal of her cultivation of immortality. The purpose of her time in the world to practice is to solve this puzzle, and then she can cultivate herself to become an immortal.
She was struggling here, but Li Yundong said: "I have just listened to what you said, and I roughly understand it. Among these three magical powers, the great magical power has been lost, so let's ignore it for the time being. The cultivation of small magical powers is the slowest, but the method
The more, the more stamina. As long as you persist in practicing, you will most likely be able to reach the realm of great supernatural powers. The cultivation of medium miraculous powers is the fastest, but there are not many methods, and it relies too much on external things. Although it is successful, it lacks stamina. Yes
Is that so?"
Ziyuan nodded and said: "That's right, there are two paths before you. One is to start with small magical powers and still practice step by step in a down-to-earth manner. The other is to start with medium magical powers and I will use external weapons to help you steal the secrets of heaven and go.
There is a shortcut to quickly increase your mana, but this is very, very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces and your body and mind will be destroyed!"
Li Yundong suddenly looked solemn and asked: "How to practice small magical powers? How to practice medium magical powers?"
Ziyuan said: "The way to cultivate small supernatural powers is to cultivate both life and life!"
When Li Yundong heard the words "Dual Cultivation of Life and Life", he couldn't help but think about something else, and his expression became strange: "Double Cultivation of Life and Life? You and me?"
Ziyuan didn't react for a while, and said curiously: "Of course it's you!"
Li Yundong had a strange expression on his face: "Myself? How can I practice dual cultivation on my own? Is it with my hands?"
Ziyuan reacted at this time, her face suddenly turned red, she glared at Li Yundong with shame and annoyance, and spat: "What nonsense are you talking about! The dual cultivation of life and life I mean means the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, you,
How could you even think of going up there!"
Only then did Li Yundong realize that he had made a mistake. He said with a sneer on his face: "Why does dual cultivation of life and life mean dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism?"
Ziyuan's cheeks were red. She was so embarrassed by Li Yundong's previous words that her earlobes were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed. She glared at Li Yundong again angrily, bit her lip, and said: "Zhang Boduan, the real person of Ziyang during the Northern Song Dynasty
I once said something..."
Li Yundong saw Ziyuan's cheeks glowing like flying clouds, eyes gleaming in the corner of his eyes, and his normally stunning face suddenly became shy, doubling in beauty. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned, looking at Ziyuan's face, he was a little crazy for a while, until
Ziyuan couldn't help but shouted in embarrassment: "What are you looking at? I'm talking to you!"
Li Yundong just woke up from a dream. He looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a dry smile: "No, it's nothing. Go on, what did Zhang Boduan say?"
Ziyuan suppressed the shame in her heart. She bit her lip and glared at Li Yundong angrily for a while. After her anger subsided a little, she spoke: "Zhenren Ziyang said: 'Taoism establishes its religion based on Ming Zong, so it explains Ming in detail.
Let’s talk briefly about nature; Buddhism is based on the religion of nature, so we talk about nature in detail and briefly about fate.’”
Li Yundong coughed dryly and asked, "What does this sentence mean?"
Ziyuan said: "The meaning is that Taoists pay more attention to the cultivation of their physical body, but ignore human nature and spiritual cultivation; while Buddhists like philosophical debates and spiritual cultivation, but ignore physical cultivation."
Li Yundong asked in confusion: "Isn't this still the difference between internal martial arts practitioners and external practitioners? You know, purely cultivating the inner part, or purely cultivating the external part, is ultimately one-sided. You should practice both!"
"
The shame in Ziyuan's heart gradually disappeared. After hearing what Li Yundong said, she couldn't help but praise: "What you said is absolutely right. You are worthy of being a successor of the Golden Elixir. You are so insightful! I can't believe that you have been practicing for less than half a year.
Practitioner! Zhang Boduan believes that only the inner elixir of Tao, Zen and Zen, and the cultivation of both life and life are the most superior."
Li Yundong was stunned. He wondered: "During the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Boduan already knew that Buddhism and Taoism should be practiced together? Then why has the gap between Buddhism and Taoism been so deep since then? Even you think that Buddhism and Taoism cannot be practiced at the same time."
?”
Ziyuan sighed: "Knowing and doing it are two different things! Zhang Boduan himself advocates the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, but in fact he emphasizes more on the dual cultivation of mind and body, which is different from the real dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism.
Our Taoism has been around for nearly two thousand years, but with so many practitioners, only people like Cao Huanyang, Wu Shouyang, and Liu Huayang have cultivated the combined sect of immortals and Buddhas, truly integrating Buddhism and Taoism! This shows how important this matter is.
Disaster!"
"Because it is too difficult and there are too few people who practice this method to become immortals, many sects denounce the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism as false Taoism and compare it to Yehu Zen."
Li Yundong smiled bitterly: "If it's so difficult, then you still say that this method is easier than the method of using supernatural powers? Are you not mistaken? Then how should the method of using supernatural powers become abnormal?"
Ziyuan said: "Cultivation is the most difficult thing in the world. If it were so easy, there would be gods all over the world!"
Li Yundong smiled bitterly and said: "Well, since this dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism is so difficult, how do you know that I can complete it in such a short period of time?"
Ziyuan stared at Li Yundong with bright eyes: "You have a strange destiny and a rare opportunity. Although you entered Taoism with golden elixirs and practiced Taoist methods to build the foundation, after building the foundation, you turned out to be self-taught and practiced the Buddhist mantra by yourself.
Mudra, in this way, your inner alchemy can be said to have the characteristics of both Buddhism and Taoism, and you can use both Taoist and Buddhist magic."
When Ziyuan said this, she suddenly showed a puzzled look. She looked at Li Yundong up and down: "I have looked at the practitioners in the current spiritual world, and I have never seen anyone with understanding and talent like you, and I have never seen anyone with the opportunity to be like you.
! Logically speaking, the inner elixir you cultivated using Taoist methods cannot be used with Buddhist spells at all, but you can use it without any obstacles. This makes me puzzled! Are you really an ordinary person?
Human?"
Li Yundong chuckled and said: "Maybe I am an extraordinary ordinary person? In fact, I didn't think about anything when I was studying. It was like a blank piece of paper for drawing, and I could naturally draw whatever I wanted. But practitioners like you
But he has received orthodox spiritual training since he was born, and has been instilled with dogmatic spiritual theories. It is like a piece of paper covered with paintings, and it is naturally difficult to draw anything on it."
"No, no, there are strict barriers between Buddhism and Taoism. If it were that simple, Buddhism and Taoism would have been integrated for thousands of years!" Ziyuan shook her head subconsciously, but she nodded again after a while, frowning and thinking about herself.
"But apart from this explanation, there seems to be no other explanation?"
Li Yundong said nonchalantly: "Why do you care so much? How do you think I should practice this dual cultivation of life and life?"
Ziyuan came back to her senses: "It's very simple. Just read more Buddhist and Taoist books. Since your inner alchemy is both Buddhist and Taoist, you will naturally gain enlightenment by reading more of these books. Although this method is a bit stupid,
But there is currently no better way.”
Li Yundong smiled bitterly and said: "Then when will this happen? The Heavenly Tribulation will not give me so much time. What is the way to gain supernatural powers? How to steal the secrets and take shortcuts?"
Ziyuan said: "It's very simple. I will use the magic weapon to create a small world for you, and then simulate the scene of the coming disaster. Let you try the taste of the disaster first, and achieve the rapid growth of mana in the horror of life and death!"
Li Yundong asked in confusion: "Why is it possible to achieve rapid growth of mana in the midst of the terror of life and death?"
Ziyuan said: "The human body has potential. Ordinary people can explode with strength that they usually don't have at the moment of life and death. A thin old woman can also lift a car. The same is true for practitioners. In the great terror of life and death,
Continuously stimulating your own potential can stimulate your potential for practice. Of course, you can understand this behavior as overdraft, but this is the only way to increase your skill in a short period of time."
Li Yundong pondered for a while, then he raised his head and said resolutely: "Then I want to try this method. When I was visualizing just now, I felt that the catastrophe happened in the past few days. Although the method of dual cultivation of life and life is good, but
For me, water far away cannot save fire close by, so I had to take a risk."
Ziyuan nodded, but she didn't see any movement. Suddenly a stream of light surged in her hand, and a compass with purple gold edges suddenly appeared.
Li Yundong took a quick look and saw that the compass was about the size of the palm of his hand. It looked like it was made of purple jade, with some weird patterns drawn on it, like scales or runes.
Li Yundong asked curiously: "This is your magic weapon? What's its magic use?"
Ziyuan said with a somewhat far-reaching gaze: "This is a magic weapon passed down to me by my master. It is one of the three major magic weapons of the Linggong Sect of the Zhengyi Sect. It is called Zijin Luo Yupan. Its magical uses are endless, and one of them is that it can be used at any time
The caster creates a small world out of thin air and pulls the people around him into this small world."
Li Yundong asked in confusion: "What's the use of pulling it in?"
Ziyuan smiled and said, "You will know its wonderful function in a moment!" After saying that, she spread her palms and spread the purple and gold jade plate flat in the air. After a while, the jade plate began to spin quickly on its own.
The whole body glowed with golden light.
At first, the golden light was relatively dim, but as the jade plate rotated faster and faster, the golden light became more and more dazzling. Gradually, Li Yundong felt that the golden light was so dazzling that it made him blind, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Eyes closed.
But even if he closed his eyes, he still felt that the golden light in front of him was stimulating his eyeballs through his eyelids. It took more than a minute before it slowly faded away.
When Li Yundong opened his eyes again, he found that he was actually between heaven and earth, standing in the sky. At his feet were mountains and rivers, rising one after another, endless, and extremely beautiful.
"Where is this?" Li Yundong asked in surprise.
"This is the small world of Zijin Luo Yupan!" Ziyuan's voice suddenly sounded in Li Yundong's ears.
Li Yundong turned his head and looked around, but did not see Ziyuan. He couldn't help but said loudly: "So magical? Are these all fake? Are they the same as what he imagined?"
Ziyuan said: "You can say that, but the thunder from the sky is real!"
Li Yundong was stunned: "How do you say this?"
There was a hint of pleasure in avenging a great revenge in Ziyuan's voice, as if she had avenged her previous humiliation: "Because if you are struck to death by thunder here, your physical body outside will also die!
"
Li Yundong was shocked: "Damn, is it true?"
As he spoke, the wind surged rapidly above Li Yundong's head, the dark clouds rolled, and with a click, a bolt of lightning and thunder struck towards him heavily!
