Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 388 What is the 'dharma door'

In early autumn, all kinds of trees are still luxuriant.Although Hangzhou City is not near the sea, it is not far away. The humid and warm sea breeze blows day and night, which makes the autumn here come later than other places, and the storage period of summer is obviously longer than that in the north.

This big green tree on the outskirts of the city has been growing here for many years. The trunk is tall and straight without piercing the sky. Countless green leaves gather together to form a big canopy at the crown of the tree, which looks extraordinarily beautiful and compassionate. It blocks the sun in the sky and casts a shadow, covering people who enter and leave the city.

This tree is huge, and the range of shadows is even tens of feet. Many pedestrians are resting under the tree.Under the tree are those knotted roots protruding from the soil, like a thick dragon body, steady and solid. Ye Chen pushed Qian Yuechan to rest beside these tree roots. This strange combination did not attract any attention. Passers-by looked sideways, because Ye Chen was wearing a face-changing mask, and Qian Yuechan was now an old lady who couldn't get any older. Others thought she was a filial grandson walking with her grandmother who was about to die .

Ye Chen sat on the root of the tree, feeling the shade under his buttocks. He didn't know what kind of tree was behind him, and he didn't bother to find out the root.

"How old was senior at that time?"

"11 years old?" Sitting in a wheelchair, Qian Yuechan frowned, thinking for a long time, it seemed that her memory had become a little blurred due to the age, and finally added faintly: "Anyway, she is a little girl. "

Qian Yuechan didn't continue to say anything, just looked at the big tree, trying to find some impressions and memories from the big tree.

Ye Chen's body shook suddenly, and his face changed slightly.Just now, the zhenqi in his dantian became extremely irritable, showing signs of losing control. If the zhenqi really got out of control and suddenly burst into chaos, it would instantly destroy his dantian and shatter his meridians.

If that's the case, even if Ye Chen doesn't die, he will become a disabled person.

Qian Yuechan didn't turn his head, and said: "Boy, when I heard you explain why your true energy is so deep, I knew that Old Demon Yu's true energy is not so easy to be absorbed by you for your own use. The current plan, Only by practicing the Taoist "Tai Yi Zhen Jing" can you truly transform Yu Laomo's true energy into your own true energy."

Ye Chen was startled when he heard the words, and then said happily: "I already have the Taiyi Manual."

Qian Yuechan glanced at Ye Chen and said, "The Taiyi Sutra in your hand was taken from Chen Jingyuan, right?"

Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

Qian Yuechan said: "It seems that you haven't read it seriously, it's only half of the Supreme One Manual."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, and asked solemnly, "Where is the other half of the Taiyi Sutra?"

Qian Yuechan said: "In the hands of Taiping Sect Zhang Wumeng."

Ye Chen immediately frowned tightly.

Qian Yuechan said: "If you feel that you can't get the other half of the Taiyi Scripture from Zhang Wumeng, I have a way to save your life, but this way needs to dissipate all the true energy in your dantian."

Hearing this, Ye Chen remained silent for a long time.

Qian Yuechan said after a while: "In fact, there is another way, that is, before the true energy in your dantian loses control, your swordsmanship can reach my current level, and then you can integrate the sword intent into the true energy. During the process, forcibly suppress the True Qi of Old Demon Yu and refine it."

Ye Chen was speechless for a while, thinking that no matter how talented I am, no matter how talented I am, it is impossible for me to reach your old man's level in swordsmanship within three months.

He stood behind Qian Yuechan, gently supported the back of the wheelchair with both hands, and said sincerely: "Although this junior knows that this is impossible, since he wants to worship senior as his teacher, he is naturally obliged to learn his sword skills .And since we want to learn, we have to hurry up, because we really don’t have much time.”

"Sword art, you should have learned it from the Bai family." Qian Yuechan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "A sword is a dead thing, and the hand that holds it. No matter which direction you stab it , Cut it down, it will change extremely. It is impossible to exceed the number of ten thousand kinds, after all, the space is only so big."

Ye Chen listened silently and earnestly, unwilling to let go of every word Qian Yuechan said, but his state was not enough for him to fully understand every word Qian Yuechan said, so he first tried hard to write it down, and waited until I will slowly realize it later.

"How can a sword kill people when stabbed out? This is a question of swordsmanship. And the changes of swordsmanship are always endless. Since thousands of years ago, I don't know how many sages and masters have worked hard during it. As the saying goes, there is no one under the sun. No matter how new things are, no matter how they change, they have already been deduced by people."

"So the sword art has never been the most important link." Qian Yuechan's old arm was placed calmly on the armrest of the wheelchair, and he stroked it slowly, as if he was stroking the hilt of an ancient sword, "When you feel When you reach a certain level, you should understand that the sharp sword of killing needs you to consider, not how to kill, but that you should kill, this is the 'power'."

It seemed to be a very mysterious sentence, but Ye Chen could faintly understand it.

Qian Yuechan's voice became lower and lower.

"The human body is a container, and there is a limit after all. Practicing with true energy will stop at a certain stage, when the meridians of the physical body can't hold it."

"If you forcefully practice and improve, it is only possible to cut off the meridians and become a disabled person, just like the situation in your body now."

Qian Yuechan's eyes were still looking at the blue tree crown quietly, Ye Chen was listening quietly and seriously, the atmosphere in the field was a bit weird.After Ye Chen heard it, he vaguely grasped the true meaning of it.

"True Qi is the water in the jar, and momentum is the method of sprinkling water." Qian Yuechan said leisurely: "A jar of water will never be able to moisten ten thousand fertile fields. This is the so-called limit. If you can't break through to the 'potential' You can only sprinkle water one scoop at a time, and you can’t change your pettiness. No matter how many techniques and swords you learn, there are only so many roots. Of course you can’t understand it. The feeling when the river bursts its embankment.”

"So the key is how to control the true energy in the body." Ye Chen subconsciously said.

"That's right! It is of course the most important thing to maintain a balance between realms and to restrict each other's true qi. But whether you can truly master a method to release the true qi in your body freely is the only thing you can do. The key to whether you have power."

Ye Chen sighed, thinking that what Qian Yuechan said made sense, but to him it was just nonsense.There is no way to control the true energy in the body, the human body is self-limiting.Of course, one would not allow one's zhenqi to expand without limit, but if one could not let one's zhenqi rise above that critical point, it would seem impossible to master that mysterious technique.

It's really nonsense, and it's a proposition that doesn't make sense logically.

Ye Chen asked with some expectation: "Senior, can you tell me how to find this method?"

Qian Yuechan said solemnly: "This method is exactly the mind and will that I mentioned earlier. After comprehending this, you will have a 'momentum', break through the realm of a first-class master, and truly be promoted to a super-first-class master, that is, me. And Zhang Wumeng, Chen Jingyuan, Lou Yanming and Yu Laomo possessed the half-step innate master realm."

Qian Yuechan looked at the thoughtful look in Ye Chen's eyes, wondering how much this young man could comprehend, and how much he could comprehend.He continued slowly: "There must be traces of acquired martial arts in the world, and there must be a reason to follow. And the innate realm of transcendence and refinement, of course, can only appear in this world through a transcendent method. Whether it is the method itself or Well, the most important feature of this realm is the 'momentum' which has no traces to follow, let alone reason."

Speaking of this, without waiting for Ye Chen to say anything, Qian Yuechan looked at Ye Chen and said sharply: "You have to forget that you are alone! You have to forget that you have hands and feet, and you have to forget the hair and bones on your body. The middle ground is sore, don't try to use any method that the body can control to appease the true energy in your body."

"Only by using your mind and will to control the true qi, can you truly cast aside the limitations of the physical body and advance from the acquired state to the half-step innate state." Qian Yuechan's voice gradually became solemn and awe-inspiring.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart was struck by lightning, as if a bright light flashed in his mind, but it was fleeting, and it was already very difficult for him to catch it and see it clearly. If the opportunity comes, these perceptions may be suddenly realized. Of course, the biggest possibility is that Ye Chen will forget these perceptions that are not very clear in the first place.

Qian Yuechan, a half-step congenital powerhouse, after saying this, didn't speak again, and sat under the big green tree calmly and silently.

Ye Chen was covered in cold sweat. He vaguely felt that he understood something, but in fact he didn't understand anything. Some kind of inexplicable perception told him that what Qian Yuechan said was true and correct, but this kind of The "dharma door" is too illusory, too abstract, and there is really no trace to be found.

The most important thing is that such an idealistic statement conflicts too much with the education he received and the materialistic worldview he formed in later generations. It is completely in two directions——without using the human body as a bridge, can it be possible to rely on the mind alone? Affect this real world?Although Ye Chen felt that what Qian Yuechan said was right, but intellectually speaking, Ye Chen felt it was ridiculous.

However, Ye Chen immediately remembered the magical process of the black blood Gu mother controlling ordinary Gu insects, as well as the magical connection between some Gu insect mothers and offspring.

Human beings exist in the world, where is the difference from all things?Just in the word mind, human beings are the spirit of all things, can speak and think, can watch the flowers bloom and be happy, watch the flowers fall and be sad, watch the moon full and the moon disappear, but feel the eternal vicissitudes of the world, watch the tide ebb and flow, Life is impermanent and lonely.
