Taiping Inn

Among the four people present, there were three women, all of whom were practicing fasting. After Li Xuandu entered the realm of immortality and experienced a complete transformation, he was no longer demanding on food, so he saved the trouble of hosting a banquet to welcome him.

After the greetings, Bai Xiushang talked about Murong Hua's realm. Murong Hua has two major skills, one is the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" of the Wangqing Sect, and the other is the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" of the Cihang Sect. Bai Xiushang is proficient in the latter, Qin Su is proficient in the former, and Li Xuandu has dabbled in both, and his realm is the highest.

Bai Xiushang asked: "Congyu, Confucianism reads books to nourish qi naturally, Taoism practices Taoism to seek immortality, each has its own pursuit, and we Buddhists practice ourselves, what is the purpose?"

"Congyu" is Murong Hua's courtesy name, as the saying goes "Congyu Congyue", it is a "book", that is, "book". "Yu" means pen, and "Yu" means to speak. "Yu " means to speak with a pen, which corresponds to the meaning of "book" and "painting", so Murong Hua's courtesy name is "From Yu".

Murong Hua did not expect that the master would ask such a question. She was slightly surprised and answered: "When the external demons come, if we are shallow in the way, it is difficult to enlighten them with the Dharma. We must take action to subdue the demons. Therefore, the Buddha passed down various magical powers to subdue demons."

Neither Bai Xiushang nor Murong Hua would follow such principles, but they must know the principles. Bai Xiushang nodded slightly when he heard Murong Hua's answer, and asked again: "How many volumes of your 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon' have you practiced?"

Murong Hua replied with a look of shame: "My disciple is dull and has not made progress. I can only practice the 'Heart Volume', and I have no chance to practice the 'No Word Volume' and the 'I Volume'."

Bai Xiushang asked again: "In your opinion, which is better, the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon' of my Cihang Sect, the 'Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper' of the Qingwei Sect, and the 'Thirteen Swords of the Taiyin' of the Yinyang Sect."

Murong Hua The answer was: "There is no difference between good and bad skills, but there is a difference between realms of cultivation."

Bai Xiushang nodded and said: "That's right. If the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon' can be cultivated to the 'I Character Scroll', then what?"

Murong Hua said: "The depth is unfathomable. I am short-sighted and dare not make any judgments."

Bai Xiushang asked: "If you are given a period of sixty years, to what extent can you cultivate?"

Murong Hua's face changed slightly, and he said softly: "I don't know."

Bai Xiushang asked again: "Can you cultivate the 'I Character Scroll'?"

Murong Hua shook his head and said: "Definitely not."

Bai Xiushang looked at Li Xuandu and asked: "What do you think of Zifu?"

Li Xuandu said: "Speaking of the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon', I just happened to cultivate to the 'Heart Character Scroll'. In my opinion, it is indeed profound and has infinite magical uses. Just now, Senior Sister Murong said that there is no superiority in skills. Inferior or inferior, this is a humble word, there is still some difference. Whether it is the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' or the 'Thirty-six Swords of Beidou', they are all unorthodox methods with many risks. If you are not careful, they will backfire on you. The 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' will breed demons, and the 'Thirty-six Swords of Beidou' will reduce your life span. The 'Cihang Pudu Sword Classic' is a method of the Xuanmen orthodox way. It can be said to be beneficial and harmless. At most, it will stop moving forward. With the qualifications and age of Senior Sister Murong, it is still unknown how far she can go after Jiazi. "

Murong Hua hurriedly said modestly: "I dare not, I dare not." Qin Su said: "Compared with the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin', the 'Taishang Wangqing Sutra' is not much inferior. Although it is powerful, it hurts others and yourself, or even hurts others before hurting yourself."

Murong Hua said with deep feeling: "Years of hard practice, plus the hard work of the 'Heart Scroll', I can only maintain the state of "Heavenly Calculation" for half an incense stick of time. If it is more, I will be addicted to it and cannot extricate myself. "

Qin Su said: "The 'Taishang Wangqing Sutra' requires a very high level of cultivation. If the cultivation level is not enough, you can only take shortcuts. My shortcut is the 'Taiping Qingling Sutra'. If Senior Sister Murong wants to take shortcuts, she can only make a fuss about the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon'. "

Li Xuandu said: "The Taoist sect is unified. I don't mind passing on the 'Taiping Qingling Sutra' to Senior Sister Murong. But from what my mother-in-law said, she wants Senior Sister Murong to be specialized and not greedy for more. Then I can't specialize myself. "

Bai Xiushang smiled and said: "Not everyone is Zifu. If you are greedy for more, you will not be good at everything. It is better to specialize in one or two unique skills. Although the 'Wordless Volume' of the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Canon' cannot transform all methods, it also has some wonderful uses. The so-called 'nothing' has both the meaning of no appearance and the idea of ​​breaking and standing. But I have never practiced the "Tai Shang Wang Qing Jing", so I cannot say how much benefit I can get from it. It is better for me to ask Zi Fu to help give me some pointers. "

After the words fell, Bai Xiushang took out two books and handed them to Li Xuandu and Murong Hua respectively. Judging from the material, they should not be the originals, but the copies copied by Bai Xiushang herself.

Li Xuandu then understood that Bai Xiushang had gone through so much trouble before just for this moment. After all, Li Xuandu is different now, and Bai Xiushang can't directly instruct Li Xuandu as before. She can only use the instruction to Murong Hua to introduce this section. Otherwise, why would she instruct the disciple in front of others? The rules of the martial arts world usually teach only the master and the disciple.

In addition, the Cihang Sect has always been known for its tactfulness. It is clear that they want to give books, which makes it sound like Bai Xiushang is begging Li Xuandu.

Since it is Bai Xiushang's good intention, Li Xuandu can't refuse. He took the secret book and began to read it.

At Li Xuandu's level, he can even reverse the practice, so at this time, he can read ten lines at a glance without understanding it in detail. He quickly browsed it roughly and got a general idea in his mind.

In general, the essence of "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" lies in the dual cultivation of Zen and martial arts, or the unity of Buddhism and sword. Sword and Buddhism correspond to each other, Buddhism is above, sword is below, and Buddhism controls Buddhism. Therefore, "Sword Volume" is sword, "Heart Volume" is Buddhism, "No Word Volume" is sword, and "I Volume" is Buddhism.

"Sword Volume" and "No Word Volume" are both sword, the key is the difference between inside and outside.

"Sword Volume" is the outside, controlling thousands of swords, the complexity and variety of sword techniques and sword moves are really unimaginable. The sixty-four swords are sixty-four kinds of sword techniques, some are open and close, some are slow and fast, some are like pear blossoms blooming, some are like strong grass in the wind, some are ancient and stagnant, some are as fast as thunder, some are like the breeze and the moon, some are like golden weapons and iron horses, some are like the great river and the tide surging for three thousand miles; some are like the endless water under the small bridge. A variety of sword techniques with different styles are performed by Guanyin Faxiang at the same time, blending together without any conflict, which is extremely unpredictable.

"Wordless Scroll" is internal. Although the practitioner has to waste part of his qi, he can generate a sword energy in his body to help him control the sword, nourish qi, enlighten his mind, and benefit his body. The sword energy flows between the meridians and acupoints, making the meridians and acupoints and Dantian wider and better than before.

This is also the reason why most disciples of Cihang Sect stop at the "Heart Scroll" for their whole lives. After all, almost no one is willing to waste the qi that they have worked hard to cultivate, so many people will get stuck at this step after watching the "Wordless Scroll". This step is both the entry to the "Wordless Scroll" and a test of the heart, so the "Wordless Scroll" should be after the "Heart Scroll".

The reason for this is not that the founder of Cihang Sect deliberately made things difficult for his disciples, but that he had to do so. The key to the "Wordless Scroll" is to transform the qi of the practitioner into a seed and plant it in the middle dantian, connecting the upper and lower parts. Then the sword qi is born from the body, invisible and intangible, ever-changing, and is the best restraint against the "Swallowing Moon Method" or "Eclipse Sun Method".

After all, the tolerance of a person's dantian meridians is limited. Except for the immortals who cultivate the body but not the qi, if others do not abandon the qi and cultivate the weakest sword qi from the dantian to gradually adapt, but directly convert all the qi into sword qi, then it is like thousands of sharp swords passing through their bodies. I am afraid that before the method is completed, I will die first.

Because of this, the self-destruction of qi in the "Wordless Scroll" is not Li Xuandu's falling realm, but breaking and then standing up again, practicing from the beginning, and the progress is ten times more than before, or even breaking through the barrier in one fell swoop, and the qi is also more refined.

For Li Xuandu, it was not that complicated. He did not need to abandon his cultivation. He had the "Eternal Life Stone" and "Leakage Passage", which allowed him to directly transform the sword energy in his body. At most, he would suffer from the "sword energy passing through the realm".

After reading the "Wordless Scroll", Li Xuandu said: "With Senior Sister Murong's cultivation, if she cultivates the 'Wordless Scroll', she can enter the realm of heaven and man, and then use the 'Taishang Wangqing Sutra' without any future troubles. After all, my father-in-law became famous in the realm of heaven and man. It's just that if you want to practice the 'Wordless Scroll', after all, it is a breakthrough and then a success, and you must work hard for many years."

Murong Hua nodded slightly, not in a hurry to look at the secret book in her hand. She was such a smart person, even if she didn't understand it at first, now she came to her senses, Master Bai Xiushang was not interested in wine. And at this time, she couldn't abandon her own Qi machine, she could only wait until later to practice slowly.

Bai Xiushang had already mastered the "Wordless Scroll", so she understood this principle. So she just looked at Li Xuandu and asked, "Then can this method be of benefit to Zifu?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I do have some ideas, which have yet to be verified. However, the 'Thousand Swords Guanyin' style can be perfected."

Bai Xiushang naturally did not give the "Wordless Scroll" for no reason, and then said, "I can only do my best. Zifu should be fully prepared and not be careless. Even if we take a step back, Zifu is no longer the hope of one person. With the earnest expectations of all the gentlemen in front and the sincere trust of the people in the world behind, how can Zifu disappoint them? If things cannot be done, Zifu must prioritize its own preservation and must not act rashly."

Li Xuandu said softly, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your concern."

Bai Xiushang waved her hand, "Why should we have different opinions when we are one family?"

Li Xuandu was no longer too polite, and silently memorized all the formulas of the "Wordless Scroll" and imprinted them in his heart. With his current realm of cultivation, it would only take a few days for him to achieve some initial success and complete his "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", and then return the secret book to Bai Xiushang.
