"Boy, if you want to cultivate the Tao, you must first understand the Tao, and then you can realize the Tao. The ancients said that sincerity leads to spirituality. This saying can be used to describe the Tao. Only when you are sincere in your heart can you understand the Tao heart. Only with the Tao heart can you perform Tao methods. . If you are not sincere, you can't even enter the door, so you must remember that the Tao is in your heart and no evil can invade it."
When Jiang Le pretended to listen carefully, Mao Xiaofang's face became solemn and he spoke in a serious tone.
Jiang Le¡¯s expression condensed.
Mao Xiaofang did not teach the Dharma or Taoism at the beginning, but instead said this paragraph. Obviously this is very important.
Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Le came to some realization. It is true to teach one sentence, but false to teach thousands of scriptures. This passage from Mao Xiaofang seems to be just an ordinary principle, but it contains the meaning of Taoism. It is the true foundation of Taoism. If you cannot listen to it, you will block the outside of Taoism. Only by listening to it can you understand the path of Taoism.
The realization soon dawned on her, Jiang Le nodded and said with a smile, "I've written it down, Master."
Mao Xiaofang also laughed. A smart disciple is like this. He only needs a little hint to understand clearly. This is his real understanding. For Taoism, it is better than hard training. Only ordinary disciples need constant explanations. In this way, the master will be tired of teaching, and the disciple will also be tired of learning.
"Okay, now that you understand, I will teach you how to practice now."
"Taoist cultivation is step-by-step, focusing on the fundamentals. The so-called fundamentals are magic power. The depth of magic power determines how far you can go."
Jiang Le¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Then Master, how should I gather my magic power?¡±
Mao Xiaofang smiled and said: "Refining the essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into void, refining void into Tao."
Jiang Le had a dark look on his face and said speechlessly: "Can you be more careful? Nowadays, the so-called qigong masters on the Internet use these words as the general outline of their practice, which seems a bit deceptive."
Mao Xiaofang laughed and scolded: "This is a summary of cultivation by a senior Taoist master. You actually think it is a lie, you kid."
"Hehe, isn't this something that has been abused by liars a lot? If you hear it a lot, you won't believe it. Master, will you tell me that this is the cultivation method you mentioned?" Jiang Le asked with a tangled look on his face.
Mao Xiaofang laughed dumbly and said: "Of course not. With these sixteen words, you can enter the path of Taoism, even if you are the reincarnation of an immortal. However, these sixteen words summarize everything about Taoism, but you have to remember it."
Jiang Le quickly said yes, and then said eagerly: "Master, please tell me the detailed cultivation method as soon as possible. Maybe I can make it as soon as I practice it."
Mao Xiaofang was at a loss for words. This boy is so ignorant that he is not afraid of tigers.
However, he was very pleased to see that Jiang Le was so curious about knowledge. As long as he was willing to learn, he would be able to embark on the right path as soon as possible and carry forward his own lineage.
"The Taoist cultivation method is carefully divided into five realms. They are: Condensation, Channel Channeling, Dao Soul, Yuan Shen, and Semi-immortal. Condensation is the foundation. Only by condensing magic power can one be regarded as a cultivator, and then the channels can be opened. , there are eight meridians, all eight meridians are connected, and the magic power is infinite. When you reach this state, you have achieved some success in cultivating the Taoism. You can travel all over the world, subjugate demons, and accumulate merit. After the meridians are connected, you will reach the realm of Tao Soul. It is the combination of magic power and soul. The magic soul is one. When you reach this state, you already have the foundation to become an immortal. Even if your path is hopeless, you can still seek a position in the underworld and become a first-rate ghost and god. After the soul, you will have the soul. God is a higher-level existence than the Tao soul. It can exist outside the body, manifest itself in the daytime, and can travel up to the sky and explore the Nine Netherworlds with a single thought. There is a special name for this realm in the Taoist sect. real person.¡±
Jiang Le¡¯s blood boiled with excitement. That's right. How can Taoist cultivation only have sixteen characters? This division of realms allows people to have a general understanding of cultivation.
No, this is only four realms, and there is still a semi-immortal? Master Yuanshen is so awesome, wouldn't it be incredible to become a half-immortal?
"Master, what about the semi-immortal realm? You haven't said anything yet." Jiang Le asked curiously.
Mao Xiaofang sighed: "The semi-immortal realm is a legend."
Jiang Le was surprised, what does this mean? Has no one reached this level? This is also a yarn.
Seeing Jiang Le's confusion, Mao Xiaofang smiled and said: "Don't make blind guesses. The semi-immortal realm exists, and it is the last realm before becoming an immortal. People who reach this realm have boundless magical power, can make changes with ghosts and gods, and have special skills in Taoism." The title is Heavenly Master. However, this realm is too difficult to reach. Throughout the ages, there have been many tireless cultivators, but only a few have achieved the semi-immortal realm. Each one of them is a legend in the Taoist sect."
Jiang Le frowned and said, "Since someone has cultivated to the semi-immortal state, how come it has become a legend?"
Mao Xiaofang said: "I don't know much about this matter. I only know that after the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Taoism between heaven and earth became much more obscure. From then on, it was difficult to practice Taoism. Not only Taoism, but also demons and ghosts were rare. There are only a handful of achievers who have achieved the true form of Yuanshen in the past hundreds of years. What's more, I have been sealing the blood demon for decades. From the information I got from Old Man Jin, I am afraid that even the cultivators in the Dao Soul realm can't find it. arrive."
Jiang Le was silent.
Before, when he listened to the conversation between Mao Xiaofang and Old Man Jin, he felt confused and incomprehensible.
But combined with Mao Xiaofang¡¯s words, there are some ideas.
"I'm afraid that there has been some big change in the world, and the Taoist sect has been deliberately allowed to decline, so that science and technology can develop."
But now it seems that the development of science and technology is not a good thing. The improvement of material life is accelerating the deterioration of the earth's environment. If it continues like this, mankind will destroy itself.
"It doesn't matter, you won't understand these things if I tell you about it. It's useless to think too much. Now your task is to condense the Dharma so that you can become a true ascetic as soon as possible. Boy, concentrate your attention and listen to my lecture." Mao Xiaofang interrupted with a deep shout. Jiang Le's random thoughts. Then he started to explain the practice method of Ningfa.
"The journey of cultivating the Tao, the initial practice lies in visualization, using Tao Jue as a line, using thoughts as a guide, communicating with one's own essence, repeatedly tempering it, turning it into Qi, running the eight extraordinary meridians, condensing without scattering, and forming its own magic power ¡±
"Listen to my teachings, concentrate and meditate, the divine palace is empty and bright, the meaning is like a round pearl, communicates with the qi essence, mixes like the lake and sea, turns the qi into spirit, circulates the eight meridians, and the magic power is created by itself."
There are not many ways to condense Qi, it is simple and clear, and the process is not cumbersome. Mao Xiaofang repeated it several times, and Jiang Le kept it in mind.
Of course, this is what he can remember today. Maybe he will forget it the next day when he wakes up.
But now that he remembered it, Jiang Le couldn't help but start practicing according to what Dao Jue said.
Slowly, Jiang Le's expression became natural, his eyebrows relaxed, his mouth smiled, and the whole person seemed to fall into a state of sleep.
Mao Xiaofang has been observing Jiang Le's performance and was shocked when he saw it.
This kid has entered a state of cultivation! ! This, this, this! How is this possible! !
Thinking about it, he was called a genius in cultivation back then, but it took him a week to enter the cultivation state during the initial cultivation.
This kid, after just listening to the Taoist teachings, he actually entered the state of cultivation without me explaining the instructions? Has his talent reached this level of a monster?
Mao Xiaofang looked at Jiang Le, speechless, envious, and vaguely jealous.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Can't compare with this kid in everything, otherwise it will be too exciting.
Then Mao Xiaofang suppressed many distracting thoughts and looked at Jiang Le expectantly.
It¡¯s one thing to enter a state of cultivation, but it¡¯s another thing to be able to achieve anything through cultivation.
I remember when I was practicing, it took seven days to enter the state, another seven days to visualize my own essence, and then a full month to condense the essence and transform it into magic power.
¡°I don¡¯t know if this kid can be even more happy by just visualizing his own essence.
Mao Xiaofang thought a little whimsically.
Of course, he still didn¡¯t dare to think that Jiang Le could directly cultivate magic power. If this was the case, he would doubt whether Jiang Le was the reincarnation of some great immortal.
Unconsciously, time passed quietly.
Jiang Le just sat on the bed with a smile on his face, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, as if he had entered a strange realm.
Suddenly, his eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Well, it's so comfortable. I feel warm all over my body and full of energy. I don't have the dull feeling in my head that I had after getting up before." After twisting his body, Jiang Le showed a touch of surprise on his face. Is this what cultivation is? Even if you can't produce magic power through cultivation, it is still very cost-effective.
"I'm just very hungry. It seems that practicing consumes a lot of energy, and my stomach keeps rumbling.
? Touching his belly and looking towards the window, Jiang Le was shocked again.
At this moment, it is already bright outside the window.
¡°Look at the time, it¡¯s seven o¡¯clock in the morning.
I have been practicing for so long?
Well, where is the master?
Turning around and looking around, Mao Xiaofang had long since disappeared, leaving only Chunyang Bagua on the bed.
The master is in the Taoist state. Is he like a ghost, unable to see the sun?
Thoughtfully, Jiang Le gave up searching and quickly dressed and got up.
I was so hungry that my stomach protested strongly. Jiang Le just wanted to go out quickly, find a breakfast shop, and have a full meal.
guestIn the hall, my mother Jiang Hua is no longer here. She should have gotten up early to pick up the handmade goods to be completed today.
But there is still five dollars on the table in the living room. This is the breakfast money Jiang Hua leaves for Jiang Le every day.
After thinking about it, Jiang Le ran back to his room, took out a stack of small bills from an iron box in a drawer, and counted them, one hundred and thirty-six yuan.
This is Jiang Le¡¯s private money. He is really hungry now. He is afraid that five yuan will not be enough for him to eat.
Jiang Le put the money directly into his pocket and ran out of the house.
Arriving at the gate of the community, Jiang Le shouted to a breakfast shop from a distance: "Aunt Yang, bring me a bowl of noodles and a cage of steamed buns, no, two cages of steamed buns."
"Haha, Xiao Le, you didn't eat last night? Do you want to eat so much in the morning?" In the breakfast shop, a busy middle-aged fat woman in her forties looked at Jiang Le with a smile.
Jiang Le smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Yang, don't ask anymore, she's about to starve to death."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be here soon." The fat middle-aged woman glanced at Jiang Le in surprise, skillfully removed the two steamed buns and placed them in front of Jiang Le.
Jiang Le didn't care about burning his mouth, picked one up and took a big bite.
I was so hungry. It wasn¡¯t obvious at first, but as time passed, my stomach became more and more uncomfortable. It seemed that everything I ate last night had been completely consumed.
????????????????????Master didn¡¯t say he would be so hungry because of this practice. I must question him in the evening. It¡¯s too deceptive.
