Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 6 The road, you have to walk by yourself
Putting the Shenxiao jade card close to him, Jiang Xuan asked the doubts in his heart again:
"Master, is it that the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" practiced by the disciple is a bit unusual?"

Now, it was Ye Jing's turn to be surprised:

"You don't know? Didn't the teacher in the Taoist school teach?"

Thinking carefully about the memories in his mind, Jiang Xuan said after a while:

"At the beginning, I had to teach the "Taiji Heart Sutra", and after listening to the lectures for a month, the disciple felt that he had gained a little, so he went back to his residence and retreated for two months."

"Maybe I missed something during the period."

Hearing this, Ye Jing suddenly showed his original expression, then stroked his long beard and said with emotion:
"Time is also fate."

"Although the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" is the first method of Taoism that all Taoist boys come into contact with, it is just a warning to you new Taoist boys, letting you know that it is not easy to practice Taoism."

"Practice for two months, and after knowing the difficulty of cultivating the Tao, someone will naturally teach you an easier way to enter the Tao."

"You foolishly missed the opportunity to change the exercises, and within a year you practiced the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" to guide yin and yang into the Tao. It is really your destiny."

Looking at Ye Jing's envious expression, Jiang Xuan asked again:

"Master, is this "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" very unusual?"

"Which one of the exercises that can draw the Qi of the Five Supremes into the body can be average?"

"If you were a teacher who introduced the energy of Taiji into the Tao, you may have already cultivated to the sixth level of supernatural powers."

Seeing the emotion on Ye Jing's face, Jiang Xuan's thoughts turned quickly.

The term Wutai was relatively unfamiliar to him.

But if it was changed to Xiantian Wutai, then perhaps more people would know about it.

After all, that's talking about the five stages before Wuji's transition to the birth of heaven and earth.

"Tai Chi Heart Sutra" so hanging?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan spoke again:
"Master, what is the effect of this Tai Chi Qi? If the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" is so powerful, why don't all Taoist boys practice the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra"?"

Seeing Jiang Xuan's puzzled look, Ye Jing simply told him the common sense of cultivation:

"Do you think it is easy to use the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" to enter the Tao?"

"About one hundred of the Taoists in the Taoist monastery can draw qi into the body, and it is normal to spend 3 to 5 years entering the Tao."

"However, if the method of entering the Tao is replaced by the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra", the probability of entering the Tao may only be one in a million, and the time is not easy to estimate."

"The last time someone refined the "Tai Chi Heart Sutra" was more than 20 years ago."

"As for that person, it took nearly 30 years just to induce Yin and Yang Qi into his body."

"Now you know how special you are?"

Looking at Jiang Xuan whose pupils shrunk, Ye Jing shook his head and said again:

"As for the qi of Tai Chi, it can actually be divided into two qi, yin and yang."

"Yang Qi, you can see spiritual things."

"Cultivating the Tao is inseparable from the land of wealth and companionship. With Tai Chi Yang Qi, you don't need to worry about wealth."

"Yin qi, you can search for yin, and you can find evil spirits."

"No matter how good the concealment ability is, the evil spirits can't hide under the Yin Qi of Tai Chi."

"Besides, enter the Dao with the spirit of Taiji, and the Dao foundation you forged will not be said to be magnificent from the past, but it can also be said to look down upon the world."

"With such a Dao foundation, the cultivation of the upper three realms will be much easier."

Having said that, Ye Jing waved his hands a little bored:

"You have just entered the Tao, so it's meaningless to tell you these things, just accumulate your true energy."

"Well, just accumulating true energy is not enough."

The gray-haired Ye Jing suddenly began to mutter to himself.

After waiting for a long time before Ye Jing spoke, Jiang Xuan couldn't help asking:
"Master, I have already induced Qi to enter the Tao, how should I practice next?"

Staring at Jiang Xuan for a while, Ye Jing muttered, "Young people just can't hold their breath" before he said:

"To put it bluntly, there are only two paths to practice."

"The first one: Practice the basic formulas, read through the handed down Taoist scriptures, build a high-level foundation on the basic formulas, and open up a path of cultivation that is unique to you."

"The second: follow the path of the predecessors until there is no road ahead, and then open your own path."

"If it is an ordinary person, I suggest that he take the second path. After all, it is difficult to cultivate the Tao, and it is difficult to ascend to the blue sky."

"Even if ordinary people walk along the path of predecessors, they may not necessarily reach the end of the path of predecessors."

"But you are different."

"Your qualifications are the only ones I have ever seen in my life."

"Create your own way. It may be a bit difficult in the early stage, but in the later stage, I think you should be grateful for making this choice."

"Even if you feel that you are too tired to open the road after more than ten years, it is not too late to walk along the road opened by the predecessors."

"So I suggest you choose the first one and start your own path of cultivation."

"As for the means of protection, you can learn from what the predecessors have left."

Hearing this and thinking of Goldfinger, Jiang Xuan immediately made a decision:

"Master, I want to try to see if I can open the way myself."

"it is good!."

Ye Jing shouted loudly when he heard the words:
"My apprentice, Ye Jing, should have this kind of ambition to soar through the clouds."

Then without pausing, he continued:

"For those who cultivate the Tao, the spirit, energy and spirit are all three, and they are indispensable."

"You have the "Taiji Heart Sutra" for Qi training, and I will teach you the "Star Gazing Jue" for spiritual training."

"As for the refining method, the effect is similar. Later, I will ask someone to give you an access token for the Cangshu Pavilion, and you can go to the Cangshu Pavilion to choose it yourself."

"In addition, since you have already entered the Tao, you cannot lack the means of protecting the Tao."

"You should know the methods of protecting the Dao of the Divine Firmament Sect. "The Nine Thunders of the Divine Firmament" is the number one in attacking, and it can be called invincible in the world."

"You are not strong enough now, so I will pass on to you the "Shenlei of Qingxiao" first."

"However, you probably won't be able to use "Shenlei in the Sky", so I'll pass on "Thunder in the Palm of Your Hand" to you."

"When you go to Zangshu Pavilion to choose things later, don't forget to bring "Fulu Zhaijiao" and "Spells and Magic Encyclopedia" with you."

"Although our Shenxiao faction basically doesn't know how to open an altar, we still have to be prepared for these things."

Speaking of which, Ye Jing, who had already sat back on the chair, tapped the stone table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again:
"The exercises are ready for you, then let's talk about your plans for the future."

"Are you planning to go back to the sect to practice Taoism, or to go out and fulfill your ambitions?"

Looking at the cheap master who arranged his own cultivation in a few words, Jiang Xuan thought for a while and asked:
"Master, is there any difference between the two?"

"Returning to the sect to practice Taoism is to follow the path of pure cultivation, and you are not allowed to go down the mountain until you reach the upper three realms."

"Walking outside is like walking into the world."

"I suggest you go up the mountain to clean up."

Jiang Xuan shook his head and rejected Ye Jing's suggestion for the first time:
"My parents are here, and I don't want to travel far. Before the disciple returns to the monastery, he just wants to buy some magic books and go back to Lingtai Town to practice the Tao."

"The thinking is still the same."

Ye Jing stared at Jiang Xuan in silence for a long time, and finally nodded:
"It's okay to practice Taoism at home, but you have to find something to do."

"You go back to the mountain gate to practice, and there are fellow teachers sitting and discussing the Tao. Naturally, as a teacher, you won't be afraid that you will go wrong in your practice."

"But if you practice alone in Lingtai County, I'm afraid you'll make yourself stupid."

"How about this, you go to the Taoist temple in Lingtai County to make a name, and after you enter the Xiantian realm in a few years, find a few evil spirits to practice your hands."

"Then come to my place on the 20th of every month. One is to test your cultivation, and the other is to ask me any questions about cultivation."

"Also, at the beginning of next year, I'm going back to the mountain gate to return to my mission, so you go back with me."

"At that time, I will invite my friends and hold a disciple acceptance ceremony in the mountain gate."

Jiang Xuan nodded:

"But according to Master's orders."

He was still wondering before, is it so casual for five-level masters to accept closed-door disciples?

Unexpectedly, this cheap master hit this idea.

Looking at the amiable and cheap master in front of him, Jiang Xuannian asked the question that has troubled the disciples of the Taoist school for a long time:

"Master, as a strong man of the Five Realms, how did you come to be the head of the Taoist Academy in a small place like Sixi County? And you have been in office for more than 20 years."

"If I remember correctly, the dean of Fucheng Taoist Academy is only the existence of the fourth realm of mana?"

"Sixi County is small, but Yunmeng Lake is not small."

Looking at Jiang Xuan meaningfully, Ye Jing waved at him again:
"There are some things you don't need to know."

"Yao Guang has been waiting at the door for a long time, first take the certificate and go with him to become a Taoist, and then go to the library to choose exercises."

"Come back to me after you have chosen the exercises, and I will pass on to you "Spiritual Lightning in the Sky", "Thunder in the Palm of Your Hand" and "Star Gazing Jue"."

Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard the words, but in a blink of an eye he showed embarrassment:

"Master, the exercises in the Taoist Academy are not cheap, right? I'm afraid I don't have enough money."

"How can I wrong you as my apprentice?"

Eyeing Jiang Xuan sideways, Ye Jing continued:
"The classic exercises in Zangshuge are nothing but mass-printed things, without a trace of the charm of Dao."

"If it weren't for the fact that the royal family, the warlords and the government from all over the country wanted to collect money, and they were afraid that there would be too many resources for the ascetics to share, then that thing would be a blank sheet of paper."

"You go to Zangshu Pavilion and just take it, it doesn't matter if it's empty."

Jiang Xuan suddenly showed a smile:

"The disciple obeys."
