Chapter 127 The Soul (For Subscription)

The specific realm of Taoist cultivation is as follows:

[-]. Concentrate the soul: In this step, you need to refine and transform the energy, and condense the 'soul' in the sea of ​​consciousness through meditation, which is the practice that Xu Sheng completed in his mother's womb.

Second, refining the soul: This step is to continue to train the soul and make it stronger until the soul power is strong enough to spread out of the body surface. This is the practice that Xu Sheng completed three years after his birth.

Third, manifesting the soul: In this step, after letting the soul power manifest out of the body surface, he will continue to temper the soul with various methods to make the power of the soul stronger. This is the practice that Xu Sheng completed five years ago.

Fourth, the outer soul: This step is to gradually release the soul power, which can directly and slightly affect the external physical world!But the released soul power is still very rigid, unable to turn, and can only be released straight.It is the state of cultivation that Xu Sheng is currently in.

Fifth, the soul: This step is the next state Xu Sheng wants to reach. If he can succeed, the soul power will be divine, and the released soul power can turn and so on.

At this point, it is considered that the "spirit" has been cultivated, which also means that the cultivation of Taoist priests has reached a qualitative change.

A watershed has been crossed.

In fact, all these cultivations are inseparable from a Taoist general principle of "refinement to transform qi, refine qi to transform spirit, and refine spirit to return to emptiness".Reaching the realm of the soul, in fact, has reached the level of refining qi and transforming into a god.

After that, there are: out of body, night tour, distraction, day tour, Yangshen, crossing robbery, and real person.

These seven realms have to be climbed.

These are all parts of 'Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void'.

The ultimate goal of these Taoist practices is to become a real person!

Use the power of thunder to unite the spirit and body with the body to become a real person!

So usually many people call some masters, and they like to call each other: xx real person.

In fact, this is just a flattering statement. Anyway, in today's Liaozhai world, it seems that living practitioners who have reached the realm of real people have never heard of it.

Of course, it is also possible that some experts are hiding in the world, so it is possible that Xu Sheng did not know about it.

After all, some people may also know the evil existence of the fake Avalokitesvara. In order to fight against this evil existence, they will hide themselves in the sea of ​​people and continue to practice.

If he wanted to deal with that fake Guanyin master, Xu Sheng estimated that he would have to overcome calamity and become a real person to be able to do so!Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that there is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.

But Buddhists don't need to cross the catastrophe.

Because the practice method of Buddhism directly regards the physical body as a stinky skin.

Abandoned the flesh directly!
So they don't have to go through the thunder disaster.

All you need is penance and meditation.

Taoism emphasizes "sex and life cultivation", while Buddhism only cultivates nature, not life.

actually!

In the history of practice in this world!

In the beginning, there was only Taoism, not Buddhism.

All practitioners cultivate both life and soul. Although all cultivation is cultivating the soul, the ultimate goal is to make the body immortal by the power of the soul.

But then I don't know when the practice method of "Buddha" appeared, which was developed on the basis of Taoist practice.

Abandoning Taoism's attachment to the physical body, treating the physical body as a stinky skin, and using methods such as "penance training" to torture one's own body to strengthen one's soul.

In the end, the body is completely abandoned!

Sitting it down, that is, smashing it!

Then become a Buddha only with the spirit and soul!

Therefore, the common people in the world often spread the legend of the Taoist master with "hefa and youthful face".

But Buddhists did not leave such similar legends.

The legends left by eminent monks about Buddhism are all about 'ascetic monks' and the like.

And this is also the reason why the little Taoist nun said "Buddha is the Tao" when arguing with Chunyangzi.

In fact, Xu Sheng had already understood these things in his previous life, but now he still listened carefully to Senior Brother 28 explaining them systematically again.

The main reason is to know if there are any other changes in the practice of Taoism today after more than a hundred years.

But overall it sounds like not much has changed.

Others are related to specific cultivation methods, what to pay attention to when practicing various exercises, what to do to achieve better results, and so on.

This aspect is quite important. There are hands-on teaching and personal teaching of practice experience. It is indeed a lot of pitfalls to avoid when practicing.

After all, in his previous life, Xu Sheng could only collect exercises at most, but he couldn't practice at that time, and it was impossible for him to experience the pitfalls he would step on while practicing various exercises.

Especially some small details that need attention and so on are very critical.

It's hard to understand without experiencing it yourself.

In short, under the meticulous guidance of Brother 28, Xu Sheng's practice has indeed progressed a little faster.

However, it is still far from being able to practice into a divine soul.

Cultivating the Tao is not something that happens overnight.

It is estimated that it will take some years to practice the soul.

Another three days later.

this day.

Brother 28 called Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou over.

"Junior Brother 29, Junior Brother Thirty, I asked you to come here today."

Brother 28 said: "I almost forgot, the master ordered me to give you a good treasure!"

"what?"

Cheng Shou's eyes lit up: "Good baby?"

"A gift from the master?"

Xu Sheng also had shortness of breath: "What magic weapon is it?"

He thought that Brother 28 was going to give him some powerful magic weapons.

But he didn't expect Brother 28 to take out two guns from his space magic weapon at the next moment.

"Come, see you off!"

Brother 28 said: "Hold it, what are you doing in a daze? Do you know what this is? The latest musket! It's so hard to get it!"

"..." Cheng Shou was dumbfounded.

"???" Xu Sheng was speechless.

Unexpectedly, what a real Taoist priest sent out was not a magic weapon, but a gun that someone had researched in his previous life!
"Why, look down on guns?"

However, Brother 28 said: "Although we have mana, mana can stop bullets! But how precious is our mana? How time-consuming is it to recover? Now that muskets have appeared in the world, we Taoist priests must also keep pace with the times!"

"..." Xu Sheng was speechless.

"..." Cheng Shou was solemn.

"How difficult is it to cultivate our mana? If you can use it, don't use it!"

Brother 28 said again: "So, it is very important to have a gun for self-defense! If you are really entangled in karma and have to take action, just use the gun directly, so you don't need to waste mana."

In the end Xu Sheng also had to admit that what Brother 28 said was very reasonable.

He also took the gun together with Cheng Shou.

Although the gun is still not good against really powerful practitioners.

For example, it will not work against the fake Avalokitesvara.

Even cannons couldn't kill her back then.

If he wanted to kill the fake Avalokitesvara, Xu Sheng could only improve his cultivation skills.

But there is nothing wrong with holding a gun for self-defense.

This thing is still very useful against some ordinary people, or against some ordinary practitioners.

"You guys, don't use it indiscriminately, I will teach you!"

At this time, Senior Brother 28 said again and again: "The gun was made by the peerless man Xu Longsheng, the founding emperor of Daxu! Now it has been developed for more than a hundred years, and it has become more sophisticated! It doesn't need any mana to activate it... ..."

After that, he even brought Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou to the back mountain to practice marksmanship.

Xu Sheng couldn't help being speechless for a while. He didn't expect that the first thing he would practice after entering the Taoist temple would be marksmanship.

Of course Xu Sheng understands that these are the different evolutions brought to this world by the things he made in his previous life.

There is no way.

I did it myself.

I can only bear it.

But Xu Sheng had already practiced marksmanship in his previous life, so his marksmanship passed the test very quickly.

He was even called a sharpshooter by the 28 brothers.

A peerless genius with a gun!
"Why am I always inaccurate?"

Even because of this, Xiao San Chengshou doubted life and said: "And Brother 29 only touches the gun and hits the target within a few days? Is there really such a big difference in talent between the two of us???"

The next day, Brother 28 announced that Xu Sheng could no longer practice marksmanship.

Of course, Cheng Shou will continue to practice.

He can't miss the homework in his usual practice.

Only after completing the homework of practice every day, will it enter the time to practice marksmanship.

But Xu Sheng was not liberated either.

Brother 28 was a thug, so he directly pulled Xu Sheng over and asked Xu Sheng to be the instructor of marksmanship.

On the other hand, he slipped away, and usually came over to inspect it if he had nothing to do.

"..." Xu Sheng was also speechless for a while.

However, it is not a waste of time to teach Chengshou to practice marksmanship, and Xu Sheng did not refuse.

Anyway, he gave advice every day, and let Chengshou practice there alone.

Xu Sheng himself went to ask Brother 28 about real spiritual matters.

He found that Brother 28 usually likes to study mathematics, and also likes to study science-related research. Of course, he did not delay his cultivation.

The reason for this is that Brother 28 wanted to emulate Xu Longsheng, the founding emperor, and combine some extraordinary power in cultivation with the power of using science in certain things.

After all, the materials used in muskets are all common things in the world.Except gunpowder!
And this comes from the recipe of the Daomen Alchemy Fryer.

According to what Senior Brother 28 said, that is: The founding emperor actually had such a fantastic idea to use the energy of our Taoist alchemy furnace with mortal things!After turning this power into his own use, he created such a powerful musket!

It's amazing!
Therefore, Brother 28 wants to follow suit!
For this reason, he occasionally spares time to study geometry and some learning materials circulated in the Daxu Research Institute.

The dual identities of a technology enthusiast and a cultivator are combined in this way in Brother 28.

Of course, Xu Sheng naturally wouldn't say much about Brother 28's personal hobbies.

In the blink of an eye, another six years have passed.

Xu Sheng has been in Yunhu Temple for six years.

He is now 14 years old.

But his body has only grown to the size of five or six years old.

And in these six years of cultivation, Xu Sheng's cultivation has finally improved again.

On this day, he cultivated to the state of 'soul'.

Finally practiced the 'soul' into a divine soul.

"come over!"

Xu Sheng activated the power of his soul, spread out from the sea of ​​consciousness, and acted on a stone, lifting the stone weighing dozens of kilograms out of thin air.

"Up! Down! Turn!"

And moving it up, down, left, and right was successful.

"call!"

After that, Xu Sheng withdrew the power of his soul, and the stone fell to the ground with a bang: "It's done, the soul already has a god!"
