Chapter 129: Sitting and talking about the Tao (Chapter 6)
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.
"In fact, this era is the most unsuitable era for practice. It is time to end the Dharma and practice, and it is almost cut off. It is easy to say before, but it is difficult to break through to the legendary Qi Refining Realm. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, cultivators in Qi Refining Realm have almost disappeared in the world. There are only two who can actually count, one is my Quanzhen Patriarch Chongyang Patriarch, and the other is Sanfeng Man from Wudang..."
In the living room, the two sat down, and Yu Yangzi slowly said, telling Zhou Shaojin about his current practice. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the weather and spiritual energy have been exhausted, and the earth has no longer been suitable for practitioners. It is easy to say that the state of refining essence into qi is good. In the stage of refining essence, it is enough to refine essence in the body. If you have the practice technique and have sufficient qualifications, this stage is still possible, but it is not enough to break through to the state of refining qi.
The Qi Refining Realm opens up the sea of Qi in the body and communicates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, on the earth now, the spiritual energy is exhausted, so there is no spiritual energy. Therefore, it is difficult to reach the Qingtian realm. According to Yu Yangzi, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, only the ancestor of Quanzhen, Wang Chongyang and Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng, had broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.
"At present, the path of cultivation has long declined, and there are very few real practitioners, and there are even one in a million practitioners who have achieved success in their studies. If this continues, it is probably impossible for practitioners to disappear from the earth."
Yu Yangzi told Zhou Shaojin that there are fewer and fewer practitioners on earth now.
"Because of the Dharma-Ending Age?" Zhou Shaojin asked.
"This is the main reason. We practitioners pursue nothing more than two types. One is to gain strong strength and the other is to see forever. However, now, in the Dharma-Ending Heaven and Earth, the Qi Refining Realm is like a natural chasm that is difficult to cross. What's more, long-lasting vision is like a tower in the sky and the bright moon in the water, which is out of reach. Besides, powerful power, before the Qi Refining Realm, even if you become the Master of Huajin, it will eventually belong to the category of human beings. In today's era, hot weapons are rampant, and this strength is not enough. Even Master of Huajin cannot use his flesh and blood to resist guns and cannons."
"In addition, the path of cultivation depends on talent and perseverance. In this era, I believe that people who practice cultivation will never have one. Even if some believe it, they may not be willing to practice hard. After all, in this era, even if they succeed in practicing, it is difficult to cross the realm of qi refining. They are just a mortal, unable to increase their life span, and they cannot ignore firearms. In this case, how many people are willing to practice..."
"And so many practice methods have been cut off in the long river of time, and there is no detailed and profound record of foundation building methods, and the practice methods on qi refining are almost cut off..."
Yu Yangzi spoke and told Zhou Shaojin the current practice of the earth. The Dharma-Ending of Heaven and Earth is undoubtedly the main reason for the decline of practitioners. Moreover, in the long river of history, many practice methods have been lost, and even the methods of qi refining realm have almost been cut off. Only the "Innate Kung-yang" left by Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect and the "Tai Chi Sutra" left by Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang!
"Innate Kung Fu" and "Tai Chi Sutra" are both methods that directly point to the realm of Qi Refining. They can make people cultivate to the realm of Qi Refining, but there is no record of how to practice after breaking to the realm of Qi Refining, because Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfengzao passed away after breaking through the realm of Qi Refining, and could not break through to a higher realm.
"The Dharma-Ending Age of Heaven and Earth is hard to find, and this era is not suitable for us practitioners."
Yu Yangzi sighed lightly, and Zhou Shaojin nodded in agreement. Indeed, the earth today is not only too difficult to achieve magic, but also difficult to achieve success in cultivation. In today's era, technology and weapons are rampant, and it is not very friendly to cultivation. It can be said that in such an era, the decline of cultivation is almost inevitable.
"Are there any sects in the world of cultivation now?"
Zhou Shaojin asked again, asking the question he was most concerned about now, what is the current sect of cultivation on earth?
"In our Chinese practice world, there are mainly two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. There are four mountains of Buddhism, namely Wutai Mountain, Fanjing Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and Tiantai Mountain. They are also the four main places for practice in Buddhism today. The main places for Taoism are five schools, Longhu Mountain Tianshidao, Emei Mountain Emei School, and Wudang Mountain Wudang Mountain."
"There are also Maoshan factions, but Maoshan factions are divided into two factions, the northern and southern factions are founded by Maoshan, and the southern factions are Maoshan in Luofu Mountain. Later, the factions were divided. Although the two factions are Maoshan, their relationship is not harmonious. This involves the grievances many years ago. Maoshan, the northern factions have always regarded Maoshan as a traitor, and Maoshan in the southern factions have no good impression of Maoshan in the northern factions..."
Yu Yangzi told Zhou Shaojin about Maoshan, but he didn't say much about the specific grudges.
"The last faction is our Zhongnan Mountain Quanzhen Sect."
"In general, our Chinese practice world can be divided into four Buddhist mountains and five Taoist sects. However, it does not mean that there are only nine sects in China today. It is just that our nine sects are the biggest in the face of the nine sects. In fact, there are some sects below, but their reputation is not obvious. For example, the Laoshan sect is also a sect in our Taoist sect. Although the Laoshan sect has never been famous, its history is long, and there are still some sects and practitioners who may practice in seclusion."
"In addition to these, there is a lineage of corpses driving in western Hunan, and witchcraft in Miaojiang is prevalent..."
"Although it is the Dharma-Ending and the practice is declining, there are still some practitioners, but most of them are unknown, especially ordinary people. In addition to China, there are Onmyoji, Indian Brahmin, generals in the South China Sea, and other evil techniques that are popular in Japan...
"But these places are all sideways and far from being comparable to us."
"In the world of cultivation, the strength is roughly divided into three levels: Mingjin, hiddenjin, and Huajin! Mingjin refines qi and blood, darkjin opens the Ren and Du meridians, Huajin opens the tendons and veins of the whole body, and the power is as humorous as one. However, now that the practice has declined, as long as the practitioners who have reached the level of Mingjin cultivation are considered masters. Most people are only fist and foot skills, and there are very few masters of darkjin. Each one can be called a master. As for Huajin, there are only three in the world of cultivation today, including Yunyou, the leader of Tianshidao, Baiyun, the leader of Wudang Sect, and the leader of Wuchen, my Quanzhen Sect. These three people are the highest cultivation level in my cultivation world today, but these three realms are just the division of the world of cultivation today. According to ancient books, in the past, these realms were not just the first realm of cultivators to build foundations."
Speaking of this, Yu Yangzi couldn't help but look at Zhou Shaojin again.
"My fellow Taoist opened the Ren and Du meridians at such a young age and stepped into the dark energy. In the future, he was destined to open the meridians of the whole body. The master is expected to be. It may even be another real person in my cultivation world who entered the Qi refining realm after Zhenren Zhang."
"Fellow Taoist Miao Zan."
Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly, but he didn't agree with Yu Yangzi's words. What he pursued was not just as simple as refining Qi, but immortality, and the way of immortality. Although it was like the Dharma-Ending of the Dharma today, with the Impermanence Order, he had a prosperous road leading to the Impermanence Order. Moreover, it took him more than a month to break through the foundation building from practicing to now. Of course, Zhou Shaojin also knew that the reason why he was so much was entirely because of the ancient times of the Impermanence Order. First, he reshape his body, and then he assisted in the practice of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which are all things that Yu Yangzi and other practitioners cannot have.
"Fellow Taoist do not need to be too humble. As far as I know, my friend is less than twenty years old now. He opened the Ren and Du meridians at such a young age. As far as I know, even the Sanfeng real person at that time did not do it. He has a rare gift. In today's era, he will definitely be among the best people."
"But if fellow Taoists want to go further, I suggest that fellow Taoists need to find more ways to make money."
Yu Yangzi said again, and Zhou Shaojin's eyes moved slightly, and he asked modestly as he looked at Yu Yangzi.
"I would like to ask fellow Taoists to help me explain my doubts."
Although he has now reached the foundation-building level and is one level higher than Yu Yangzi, he is completely a novice in his practice and is definitely not as good as Yu Yangzi. Now that Yu Yangzi can solve his doubts, it is naturally the best, but Yu Yangzi has not hidden his shortcomings, as if he is really sincere in discussing the Tao with him.
"The path of cultivation is nothing more than four elements. The land of wealth and law, and wealth ranks first. This wealth is not a narrow sense of money. The most important thing is to refer to spiritual elixir medicine. For practitioners, cultivation talent is an important factor, but spiritual elixir medicine definitely plays an important role. If a person practices, if he has sufficient spiritual elixir medicine, even a pig can definitely become a pig demon. On the contrary, if there are no such spiritual elixir medicine, even if he is outstanding, it will be difficult to reach the top of the great way. If the earth is not exhausted in spiritual energy, our cultivators will not have reached such a level."
"The earth now makes it lacking, and these spiritual elixirs have also become less. However, if you have enough money to buy spiritual medicines in wild ginseng to assist in your practice, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort for your practice."
