Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 73 Three States of the Spiritual Realm

Qinghuan said that she could understand Xiaowu's mood, and it was not a lie, but the truth.

Isn't he the same?
Suddenly traveling to a strange environment, with everything that was once familiar far away, it is inevitable to feel panic and long to find a place to rest your heart.

The sustenance of Qinghuan is to use the theories of the past world to verify the practice of this world.

Especially now, what Qinghuan is most looking forward to is to have someone who is also familiar with the theory of past lives to discuss with him.

Instead of just making random guesses like he is doing now... That's why he is willing to tell Lan Yin a lot of theoretical knowledge. Isn't it because of this little trick?
……

"The 'Shen' in the three treasures of the human body, 'Jing, Qi and Shen', is extremely mysterious and the door to all wonders... There is a saying that the 'Tao Te Ching' was originally called the 'Virtue and Dao Jing'. The 'Tao Te Ching' is a philosophical work, and the 'Virtue and Dao Jing' is a method of spiritual practice..."

"Qinghuan, what is the Tao Te Ching?" Lan Yin supported his chin and asked in confusion.

Qing Huan was talking to himself rather than explaining. He just waved his hand without explaining and continued, "The Gate of All Wonders, since it is called a 'gate', it should be easier to start with 'God'.

Qing Huan was deep in thought, tapping the pen in his hand on the paper. After a long while, he wrote the word "forget", and said: "To abandon the body, abandon intelligence, leave the form and knowledge, and be one with the great communication, this is called sitting and forgetting."

Lan Yin asked curiously: "What does this mean?"

Qing Huan explained: "It means to forget your own body, abandon all external senses, get rid of the constraints of body and thought, achieve "forgetting both the self and the world", leaving only the "spirit" among the three treasures, so that you can feel your own "spirit".

Of course, this process is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually do it. I tried countless times, but ultimately failed to reach the point of "leaving form and leaving knowledge". I could only compromise and create the "Grass Visualization Method", letting the blue silver grass become the "form" and the direction of the blue silver grass's development become the "knowledge"... I can only consider it "changing form for knowledge". "

Lan Yin nodded, not quite understanding.

Qing Huan wrote down the word “emptiness” and said, “Form, feeling, perception, volition and consciousness refer to the body, sense organs, thoughts, actions and ideas. These five elements make up a person’s whole being and are also called the “five aggregates”.

If the five aggregates are empty, then the whole person is gone, and naturally one can overcome all sufferings...

Some people believe that the material dimension is composed of the four elements of "earth, water, fire and wind". If we abandon these four elements, we can abandon the material dimension and enter the spiritual dimension. My "Four Elements Are Empty" method was created by chance based on this."

Lan Yin asked curiously: "Then why don't you practice this, but practice the compromise "visualization method" instead?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "Forget, everything still exists, but has been forgotten, while "emptiness" means that nothing exists and everything is illusory. If it were you, which one would you choose?"

Lan Yin thought for a while, and reluctantly understood Qing Huan's meaning, and said: "I still have to grow into a Blue Silver Tree, so I will definitely choose "Forget"."

Qing Huan laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. I can't give up my physical needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, nor can I give up my emotional joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. How can I be "empty"? "

Smiling, Qing Huan wrote the word "定" (fixed) at the end, circled it, and said, "Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you won't change your expression; even if a fierce tiger approaches you, you won't be startled. No matter what the situation, you can stabilize your body and mind.

When the mind is settled, it can remain peaceful. As the saying goes, only when you know when to stop can you be settled, and only when you are settled can you be peaceful! When the mind is peaceful, no matter whether it is outside or inside, all interferences cannot cause the slightest ripples on the water surface, but will only be reflected in the heart!
I came to ask Wu Yu and he said, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle!
I have decided that my "Little Grass Spirit Refining Method" will follow the path of "determination" from now on! "

Lan Yin scratched his head and said, "Forget, emptiness, and determination. Forget means forgetting everything, emptiness means giving up everything, and determination means accepting everything, right?"

Qing Huan gave a thumbs up and said, "Smart! These are the three states in the spiritual realm! After practicing to level 70, under the martial soul true body, I am the martial soul, I am the blue silver grass, and I am the entire process of the blue silver grass developing into the blue silver tree.

Therefore, the "Little Grass Spirit Refining Method" that I created is no longer sufficient for me to continue to focus on the cultivation of "God". If I want to create subsequent methods, I must choose one of the states.

Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders, starts from "Shen", and then expands to "Qi" and "Jing"! "

Lan Yin scratched his head in confusion and said, "Forgetting and emptiness are easy to understand. Ignore all distractions and focus on the spiritual world. But concentration... since you have to accept everything, how can you focus on the spiritual world?" Qing Huan thought about it and suddenly asked, "Are the crabapple flowers in the Spirit Hall beautiful?"

Lan Yin was confused and said, "How should I know? I haven't been there."

Qing Huan smiled and said, “You see, we didn’t see it, so whether it bloomed beautifully or not, or even whether it bloomed at all, has nothing to do with us and we don’t care about it.

When we take it to heart and really look at it, the crabapple blossoms, and it blossoms beautifully... So, do you think that crabapple blossoms because of us?"

Lan Yin looked confused and couldn't understand.

Qing Huan did not explain further, but just said: "When I did not see this flower, it and my heart were both in silence. When I saw this flower, it blossomed beautifully, which shows that this flower is in my heart!
The world is the same! When I don’t see the world, it is nothing, but when I see the world, it has a real world... and the world is also in my heart!"

Lan Yin became more and more confused, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"But whether you look at it or not, it's there, right?"

Qing Huan laughed loudly and said, "This is what cultivation is all about! See yourself, see the world, and see all living things!"

After these words were spoken, Lan Yin didn't react at all, but Qing Huan himself was stunned.

See yourself? See the world? See all living beings?
Isn’t martial soul the most perfect means to “see oneself”?
The martial soul composed of essence, energy and spirit is clearly displayed in his eyes and in his heart!
Self-awareness, understanding of one’s own nature!
Qing Huan stood up suddenly and said, "Lan Yin, I will meditate for a while, don't let anyone disturb me."

Lan Yin didn't understand why, but still nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't worry."

……

In the void, Qinghuan saw his divine consciousness and the blue silver grass again.

But this time it was different. In Qinghuan's perception, the Blue Silver Grass's consciousness was no longer in the form of a static grass, but a process of constant change!

Although I only know one blue silver grass, I can "see" it grow from grass to tree, and from tree to forest, and then merge into one, turning into a big tree, and then into a forest, and then into one...

The cycle repeats itself endlessly!
Looking closely again, it was still that ordinary blue silver grass!
But Qing Huan knew clearly that his divine consciousness was not a single form as he had always thought, but a constantly developing process. It could even be said that it was a constantly evolving world!

Qinghuan's ideas have always been disturbed by the materialism of his previous life. He can only see the surface of things but not the deeper inner meaning.

Just like his own divine consciousness, Qing Huan knew clearly that the form of blue silver grass was given by himself. His divine consciousness was not an unchanging form of blue silver grass, but a process of blue silver grass evolving into blue silver tree and cyclical expansion.

But every time Qing Huan entered into martial soul meditation, he always saw the form of blue silver grass. If he wanted to condense a soul ring, he needed to subjectively evolve the blue silver grass into a blue silver tree first... This was caused by his own conflict of ideas.

Little did he know that the process of blue silver grass evolving into blue silver tree was actually a part of his own divine consciousness!

The blue silver grass is his divine consciousness, the blue silver tree is his divine consciousness, the blue silver grass evolves into the blue silver tree, which is also his divine consciousness, and the blue silver tree absorbs the power of the moon, which is also his divine consciousness...

After realizing this, Qinghuan felt as if his mind had suddenly come alive!

……

In the outside world, Qinghuan opened his eyes and came out of his martial soul meditation, and saw Lanyin's little face pointing at him in surprise, unable to speak.
