Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 7 Mind and soul conception, the world is wonderful!
"There are many treasures in the treasury. I have been collecting them for more than a thousand years. There are hundreds of kinds and tens of thousands of pieces. Each of them is a rare treasure in the world. I wonder what kind of treasure Master Xu wants?"

"Cheats of exercises, treasures of heaven and earth, panacea, manuscripts of sages and sages, magic tools of immortals, sharp weapons of magic weapons, thousand-year-old medicines, artifacts of gods, treasures of ancient times..."

Xiao Rang led Xu Yan into the treasury of the palace, handed the token in his hand to the guards of the treasury for inspection, and asked with a smile, listing dozens of types of treasures one after another.

There are so many treasures hidden in the palace treasury, the selection is enough to make people dazzled. If you really have to select and identify them one by one, you may not even be able to see the condition of the treasures in less than ten days and half a month.

How could Xiao Rang, the chief executive of the imperial palace, waste such a long time here.

Moreover, it is impossible for Yang An, the Son of Heaven, to allow Xu Yan to stay in the palace treasury for such a long time.

Xu Yan also knew this truth.

So when he heard Xiao Rang's inquiry, he didn't hide it, and said directly: "I don't want to hide it from my father-in-law, I have longed for Taoism practice for a long time, and I have long wanted to ask for a concept of the soul, but I can't, so I want to choose a concept idea."

Although Xu Yan was greedy for all kinds of natural and earthly treasures, magical weapons, fairy magic weapons, etc. in the treasure house of the palace.

But in the end, he still gave the hard-won opportunity to Shenhunguan.

Because whether it is a magic weapon or a fairy magic weapon, they are all foreign objects, and only the practice method is the root.

This is also the reason why monks put "law" at the top of the list of "law and wealth couple land".

He is assisted by Goldfinger.

As long as he is given an idea of ​​mind and soul and enough time, he can become invincible in the world without relying on external objects, and he doesn't even need the resources of mind and soul cultivation required by ordinary immortal monks.

Unlike martial arts practice, even with the help of golden fingers, it is inseparable from the assistance of various martial arts resources, otherwise practicing martial arts can directly train people to death.

If it weren't for this, Xu Yan wouldn't be obsessed with the idea of ​​the soul.

"The mind and soul concept?" Xiao Rang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Xu Yan's request, and asked in surprise, "You want to abandon martial arts and cultivate Taoism?"

"Have you thought about this?"

"You know, I have a lot of powerful and powerful children, and most of them follow the path of martial arts practice, not Taoism practice. The situation here is not as simple as you think."

"In addition, although the way of the soul is a method of longevity, after reaching the realm of the yin god, the Taoist can be reincarnated, break the mystery of the womb, and live a new life."

"But this method has a big flaw. Whether it is seizing the body or reincarnating, there is a limit. Once the limit is exceeded, even the Yin God will be confused and completely fall into the return..."

When Xiao Rang said this, he suddenly kept silent, as if he had thought of some kind of taboo, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Then he changed the subject and said: "Only when you reach Yangshen, you will be better. However, the realm of Yangshen is more difficult than the realm of Martial Daoist and Immortal. Are you sure you want to exchange this precious opportunity for an idea of ​​the concept of soul?"

When Xu Yan heard this, he was also a little surprised and uncertain.

From Xiao Rang's few words, he discovered that the practice of immortality in this world is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Just like Xiao Rang said.

If the road of immortality and immortality can really lead to immortality, and it is really easy to walk, many dignitaries and their children of the Daqian Dynasty will not let go of the road of longevity and immortality, and must endure hardships to take the road of martial arts.

Also, Xiao Rang just said that after the Yin God has repeatedly seized the house and passed the limit, where will he fall in a daze?
ghost?
Ghost Domain Fengdu?
Xu Yan was shocked and had to wonder if his choice was a bit hasty.

But soon, he said affirmatively: "Thank you, Eunuch Xiao, for reminding me, I want to try it again in my humble position."

"Forget it, since you've already made up your mind, come with me!" Xiao Rang shook his head and sighed, without letting the guards of the treasure house lead the way, he directly led Xu Yan to the two rows of bookshelves deep in the treasure house.

Pointing to a row of bookshelves, he said: "This row of shelves is full of thoughts on the concept of the soul and some jade slips of cultivation, supernatural powers, and spells. You can choose by yourself."

"Here, our family will give you a piece of advice. The more powerful the mind-soul concept is, the better. Only the one that suits you is the best. Otherwise, at the end of the practice, it will be hard to say whether you are yourself or not."

Xu Yan was startled when he heard the words, and humbly asked, "What do you mean, father-in-law?"

Xiao Rang shook his head and said: "It seems that Ding Yuanhou really didn't tell you anything, otherwise you wouldn't even know the most basic common sense of Taoism."

But Xiao Rang didn't think too much about it. He had read Xu Yan's information before, and knew that Xu Yan was just the unfavored grandson of Marquis Ding Yuan. It was normal that he hadn't been taught the common sense of Taoism.

After shaking his head, he continued: "The concept of the soul is the foundation of the immortal way, and the focus is on the cultivation of the soul. Therefore, monks who practice the immortal way are easily influenced by the idea of ​​​​the divine soul."

"For example, this Taiyin training method!"

As Xiao Rang said, he picked up a gold book, on which were engraved patterns such as crescent moon, half moon, waning moon, full moon, osmanthus tree, and jade rabbit.

The core true meaning of meditation is to visualize the full moon and moon, and use the power of the moonlight to refine the soul and cultivate the spirit of Yin.

"This Taiyin shape training method is to use the moonlight and the Qi of the Taiyin to condense the soul, and finally cultivate the Yin God."

"But you have to know that the soul is the condensation of a person's thoughts. If you practice the Taiyin training method, your soul thoughts will naturally be affected by the moonlight and the Qi of the Taiyin, and your personality will become cold and indifferent, and you will gradually lose your true self."

"Even this Taiyin training method is still good, it belongs to the righteous way, and the visualization is also the Taiyin and stars."

"What about thinking about evil ghosts, demons and Asuras, Buddhist Arhats and Buddhas, and ancient gods?"

"This method of contemplation of spirit and soul, not to mention how your spirit and personality will change at the end of the practice, I am afraid that even if you really practice it, you will become the best container for those ghosts, gods, gods and Buddhas. Suddenly, you will be taken away and assimilated by ghosts and gods."

"Do you think you were still you at that time?"

Xiao Rang said quietly, Xu Yan was terrified.

However, before Xu Yan could speak, Xiao Rang continued to take two steps forward, picked up a golden book again, and handed it to Xu Yan to read.

This is a concept of utensils, on which there is a big bell and five characters of "Soul Soul Conception" written on it.

"This is the idea of ​​an object concept. The object of visualization is the Immortal Artifact Requiem Bell. As long as the cultivation is successful, the monk's soul can condense the soul requiem bell, which can be aimed at the soul of a person."

"However, Taoists who practice this kind of meditation are also the favorites of those powerful Taoist monks."

"Because the Soul Requiem Bell you have condensed is the best tool spirit for refining the soul requiem bell. As long as you refine your soul into a bell-shaped magic weapon, the Dao pattern will be self-generated and directly transformed into a magic weapon." The Requiem Bell."

"Even if you can avoid being hunted by other Taoist cultivators, how about facing the Immortal Requiem Clock?"

"Our family believes that if the Immortal Artifact Soul-Suppressing Clock has a spirit, we definitely don't mind eating a small snack."

"........."

"How, after listening to this, do you still want to continue to abandon martial arts and practice Taoism?"

A change in the character of the soul.

A container for immortals, Buddhas and ghosts.

The hunt of the mage monks.

The spirit of refining the magic weapon.

The merits of immortal artifacts and artifacts.

……

Listening to Xiao Rang's narration, Xu Yan finally understood why the rich and powerful in the Manchu Dynasty, and their children, seldom practiced the spirit and immortality.

Damn, there are too many pitfalls on the road of cultivation of Immortal Dao.

It's better to practice martial arts.

In martial arts practice, as long as one reaches the level of a martial sage, one's thoughts can be condensed into martial arts will, which can be integrated into every inch of flesh and blood of the body. There is no need to worry about being seized by others and becoming a container for ghosts and gods to descend.

The only bad thing is that the soul thoughts are scattered too much, unable to condense into the soul, resulting in qualitative changes, and it is difficult to escape the soul limit. Even martial arts and immortals have only three hundred years of life, and then the soul will decay and die.

The Immortal Dao, although dangerous, is an alternative way of longevity. In the future, even if the body decays, one can be reborn, or walk on the path of incense, gods and evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan felt ruthless in his heart, and gritted his teeth, "Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law. The humble job has already been decided, and I still choose the idea of ​​mind and soul."

This world is very exciting, ninety percent lies in the practice of Taoism.

Therefore, even if it is not for longevity, Xu Yan still has to practice Taoism.

He wants to see the wonderfulness of this world.
