Chapter 16: There Are Stars in the Long Night
Lu Zheng's face turned red, and he quickly locked on to the emerald green wooden arrows that nailed him with his divine sense, pulled them out of the tree, and then fell to the ground. He put away those wooden arrows, no more, no less, exactly eight, after starting, he found that this arrow was very heavy, like copper and iron, sensing its physical properties, the branches are all pure physical properties, refined by mana, each one is straight and smooth, not even the lines are distorted, it seems that it is made of building wood.
Lu Zheng put the arrow on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and the man in white said: "This Jianmu arrow is not bad, it's not a pity for these Jianmu spirits born in the Jianmu forest, but it's a bit of a waste if you throw it away." Now that you only have a whisk in your hand that you don't need, it would be useful for you to leave this arrow behind. It's just that if you want to use it, you can use your divine sense to sense its physical properties, why do you still pick up your nose and smell it? Why, is there any fragrance on the two female tree spirits just now?"
Lu Zheng hurriedly took the Jianmu arrow from his nose and explained: "Master, you misunderstood, the disciple had heard that Jianmu had a strange fragrance that could float out of the wind for hundreds of miles, but the disciple was just outside such a large Jianmu forest just now, but he didn't even smell a trace of fragrance, so it felt a little strange." But now there is no fragrance on this wooden arrow, Master, do you know what the reason is?"
"Just kidding you, don't be nervous. You kid is just boring! Are you omniscient as a master? You have to know even this kind of miscellaneous things. The man in white was a little helpless about Lu Zheng's sullen character, and said: "Okay, now people don't plan to pay attention to you, anyway, now Chi Ling is safe." The three-headed little dragon deer also has a shelter, and you can be regarded as having completed the entrustment of the old leopard of Chixian, I think it is better to continue on the road, you have entered the state of mind of knowing Dacheng, and you still have a lot to learn about the cultivation of the Fa! Do you still want to stay here?"
Lu Zhengdao: "Master, the disciple is brave, I want to wait here for Brother Chiling to heal before leaving, is it okay?"
The man in white said: "Can I say it? I know you can't rest assured, so stay here for seven more days, seven days later. It doesn't matter if the Red Spirit can wake up or not. We're all going to have to hit the road. ”
Lu Zheng knew that the master was for his own good, so he agreed immediately, and sat up cross-legged under the tree, putting all the arrows aside. Although just now the master allowed himself to leave these arrows. But Lu Zheng still planned to wait for Lan Qi to come to him. Return the arrows to the Jianmu clan.
Looking at Jianmu Lin from afar, Lu Zheng said: "Master, there is nothing to do left and right. You talked about knowing the realm of tribulation before, so why don't you explain it to your disciples now! Now that the disciples have already entered the state of mind of knowing Dacheng, how to practice next still needs to be clearly explained by the master. ”
The man in white said, "Lu Zheng, do you know what method you are cultivating?"
Lu Zhengdao: "Of course, Master, you taught the Dragon Guarding Technique, is there any problem with this!"
The man in white smiled and said, "Okay, you know it's the Dragon Technique, then let me ask you, do you know the Dragon Technique and other Daomen's recipes, as well as the Buddhism's recipes, what is the difference?"
Lu Zhengdao: "This disciple doesn't know, the disciple's cultivation master is also very clear, basically relying on the master's guidance, in fact, don't say that you don't know anything about other cultivation methods, even the disciple of the dragon trick itself has only read it once, and doesn't understand it at all, so the disciple can't answer this question!"
The man in white said: "Well, this is the truth. But it doesn't matter, let me ask you a question. Along the way, you've met a lot of cultivators, do you feel like you're any different from them?"
Lu Zheng recalled it carefully, and said with some frustration: "The disciple just thinks that whether it is a monster or a cultivator, there are always spells that he uses handy, and the disciple almost does nothing. At present, you can only use mana to exert the power of the imperial object, and then the imperial envoy will change the form and god to perform the magic technique, and there is also the technique of recognizing the mirror. By the way, after coming out of the Red Flame Leopard Clan this time, he learned how to turn mana into fire, which should be regarded as a spell, and the rest will be nothing. ”
The white-clothed man said: "Well, in this way, do you feel in your heart that you can't learn anything by following me, a master? ”
Lu Zhengdao: "This disciple didn't think so, since he worshiped the master, he naturally had to listen to the master." Hey, Master, what do you mean is that the difference between this Dragon Trick and other tricks is that you learn spells relatively late?"
The man in white said: "You're right, this is the difference between the Dragon Trick and other techniques. The so-called cultivation of practitioners is actually in the four words of supernatural powers, supernatural powers are the body, and spells are used. Divine power itself lies in the liberation of various realms, and magic is used as a clear proof that various cultivation realms have been proven, which in turn can also consolidate the realm of divine powers. For the practice of attaining liberation, the two should not be neglected. If you take an analogy, it is like if you once learned to shoot the bullseye in the Sun Moon Lu and asked to shoot the bull's-eye, one of them is to understand all kinds of archery principles, and the other is that although it is still not enough to understand the reason, you still need to practice a lot in order to understand it thoroughly. You must know that it is only a moment to understand the reason, but to understand the reason in the body, you need to practice gradually. ”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng suddenly realized: "Then that means that in the realms of knowing the body, knowing the heart, knowing, knowing the fate, knowing the sky, etc., knowing is the supernatural power, and the changes in its spells are different with the different realms, relying on the different differences in the body, mind, Dao, life, and heaven to perform, right?"
The man in white smiled faintly: "It's all come to this point, if you still don't understand this truth, isn't it too stupid?" Lu Zheng's face turned red.
The man in white continued: "You just said that you know very few spells? In the realm of knowing the body, the primordial spirit knows the body, you can already feel the vitality between heaven and earth, and use it to nourish the body. If, on the other hand, you nourish others with the vitality of purification, isn't this a spell? You are aware of the state of your body, and you can perceive the sensations of your body, so you are shrewd in the mirror, you can discern the illusion of consciousness, and you will not be deceived by the illusion of the body, and you will not be deceived by the outside, but if you use it in reverse, with the power of your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, to transform the illusion of others, will you not be able to perform illusions? Now you understand that the calamity you have experienced is not your magic?"
When Lu Zheng heard this, he immediately understood it and suddenly realized that the various calamities he had experienced were precisely his own spells. This was originally very simple, but it was only at this point that it was truly understood.
But the man in white said this, but his tone changed, and said: "Hehe, you were still puzzled before, every time I teach you spells, I just point you to what you can do, in fact, this is the fundamental truth that all kinds of spells are based on supernatural powers, although you have known this for a long time, but you don't really understand."
Therefore, in the cultivation world, whether it is Buddhism or family sects, at the beginning of practice, there are always supernatural spells, and the two are cultivated at the same time, and they are auxiliary evidence to each other, so the disciples of the cultivation are often strong in magic. But after verifying the mysteries of various spells, it is another matter to use them to fight people. The so-called fighting method not only emphasizes the difference between the level of the supernatural realm and the profound mana, but also the time, location, and even rich experience in the fighting method.
However, in the end, most practitioners turn to their bodies and minds from all kinds of spells because liberation is difficult to find, or they are entangled in various events, confused, mad, and fall into evil spirits. For example, the evil cultivator and that Shen Tuxiong you met before are like this. Especially that evil cultivator, who was extremely clever in cultivating all kinds of spells, was actually too far away from the Dao, trapped in himself and didn't know it. It's ridiculous that he still claims to be a selfless old man, it's ironic!"
Speaking of this, the man in white sighed and continued: "Therefore, the cultivation of the Dragon Technique, before knowing it, often does not advocate all kinds of spells, but asks the disciples to have a solid physical and mental foundation, compared to the disciples of other sects whose magical powers and spells are mutually confirmed, the cultivation of spells will indeed be much slower." However, it allows the cultivators to know that the magic is the same and different, and the way of cultivation is not in all kinds of spells, but in the detachment of the self, so that they can enter the Tao without being lost.
Hehe, you asked before what the calamity of knowing is, and I will tell you now, the calamity of the realm of knowledge is called the calamity of confusion. If you don't really get it, you will indulge in confusion, and the confusion will become, and the chaos will become more and more confused, and you will lose your roots, just like people walking in the dark night and in the wilderness. If you know, the road is naturally under your feet, and if you don't know, there are traps everywhere. You know, it's not a road fan or a human fan, there is no road between heaven and earth, how can there ever be a road charming, it's all people who are self-obsessed!
You have now entered the realm of knowing, and once you have entered the realm of knowing, all kinds of spells will naturally arise. As long as you walk between heaven and earth, you will realize that your mana can not only turn into fire, but even change everything. When the time comes, you will find that everything and everything between heaven and earth is a spell of heaven and earth, and it is worth learning from you, but what exactly you want to do is what you need to understand! You first think carefully about what I said to you, and from tomorrow onwards, I will no longer instruct you in the cultivation of your mind, but really instruct you on how to verify the extreme changes in your form and spirit, and cultivate all kinds of spells!"
After saying this, the divine consciousness of the man in white withdrew into the jade pendant. And Lu Zheng was already silent, and countless turbulence surged in his heart, making him have to re-examine the experience he had experienced along the way, and there were all kinds of mysterious changes in his form, and there seemed to be a sense of depth in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Lu Zheng saw that the sky above his head was already full of stars, and seeing the stars in the sky, Lu Zheng had an indescribable realization in his heart, and his body and mind were as clear as glass for a while. He felt something in his heart, raised his hand and saw that the flesh and blood around him had become transparent, and the blood and meridians were clearly visible one by one. Since the last time he ate the crystal steamed buns given by the teacher in Sun Moon Lu, Lu Zheng saw his golden bones again! (To be continued......)
