"The talismans are patterns, traces, winding rivers, rolling mountains, moving winds, clouds in the sky, thunder, flames... All traces in the world are talismans."
"The talisman is the medium for communication between man and heaven and earth. Once activated, with the power of heaven and earth, it can command the wind and clouds, move mountains and seas!"
"One talisman gives birth to ten thousand ways, and every stroke of the talisman's way is practice..."
Jiang Chen held a Taoist canon called "Fu Zu Speaks of Fu Lu Cultivation" and read it carefully. Although there was no practice method in it, it gave him a lot of enlightenment.
The talisman ancestor recorded in this Taoist canon is a supreme figure who entered the Tao with his talisman, shattered the void and ascended to the upper world.
Some people think that he is the ancestor of talismans, and the art of talismans originated from him!
Every word and deed of such a great man contains profound meaning. If you can understand it, it will be of infinite use.
"Fu Zu's idea is really terrible. He integrated all things in the world into the talisman. He used the heaven and earth as talisman paper, the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers as patterns. Once the talisman is completed, he is invincible in the world!"
"Unfortunately, I used to regard the art of talisman as a trivial trick, but now it seems that I am too shallow."
"As the saying goes, if you practice three hundred and sixty, you will be the number one scholar. All roads lead to Rome. There are three thousand avenues, and you can achieve the supreme truth!"
"It's just that for me now, the road to enlightenment is still too far. Now I can reach the perfection of the health-preserving realm in the shortest time. The right path is to advance to the Qi-refining realm!"
"The four levels of cultivation are: refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Tao."
"The five realms are the health-preserving realm, the qi-refining realm, the visualization realm, the carefree realm, and the Tao realm."
"I am still at the first level, the first realm, and belong to the bottom of the cultivation world."
Jiang Chen said with great emotion in his heart.
There are many Taoist canons in this Taoist temple. Although they are not methods of cultivation, they are some experiences of some senior masters about Taoism. During this time, Jiang Chen was reading the Taoist canons crazily and understanding the path of cultivation during his spare time.
In addition, the role of the Fairy Creation Pen in the world of Xianxia is even more terrifying. In just half a month, Jiang Chen has reached the limit of the middle stage of the health preservation realm. If he takes a step further, he can enter the late stage of the health preservation realm.
Although Jiang Chen didn't know whether this speed of cultivation was fast or slow compared to other monks, he personally felt that this speed was definitely very fast.
Because the old Taoist Huang Ya has been practicing for decades and it is just like that. This shows that the difficulty of cultivation is difficult to reach the sky.
But Jiang Chen felt like he was riding a hot air balloon to the sky. Apart from feeling so high, he didn't feel anything else.
"Daozhang Jiang, there is news about what you asked me to inquire about last time!"
Changfeng County Head Catcher Wang Meng rushed into Chunyang Taoist Temple and walked towards Jiang Chen.
"Oh, Brother Wang, please sit down and tell me quickly."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
In this world, there is not only the way of cultivation, but also the way of martial arts and literature.
Civil and martial arts, three cultivation systems.
Some people entered the Tao with martial arts, shattered the void, and soared into the sky.
Some people enter the Tao through literature, and their awe-inspiring righteousness makes heaven and earth last forever.
Of course, more people still enter the Tao through orthodox cultivation methods and ascend to the upper world.
Entering the Tao through literature is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even among the great Confucian scholars of the Zhou Dynasty, there were only a few who cultivated literature.
It is easier to enter Taoism through martial arts than to enter Taoism through literature, but throughout the ages, it has not been heard that a few people can enter Taoism through martial arts and soar in a day.
Therefore, compared with the orthodox way of cultivation, the way of civility and martial arts are minor ways.
However, martial arts is not without its merits. Martial arts emphasizes physical training, and the health-preserving realm of orthodox cultivation also focuses on physical training.
So Jiang Chen was thinking about whether he could get a martial arts secret book and practice it to strengthen his body. By analogy, it might be possible to speed up his cultivation process in the health realm again!
Although the road to martial arts is difficult, there are really amazing and talented people who have done it, so the martial arts secrets in this world are also very amazing.
Some focus on physical training, some can cultivate martial arts and true energy, and there are even spiritual martial arts to strengthen the soul, which are amazing.
There are Dharma protectors in the Taoist sect, and warrior monks in the Buddhist sect. They are all capable of fighting and have unparalleled physical strength.
Martial arts are constantly evolving from these methods.
Therefore, martial arts and orthodox practice do not conflict.
Jiang Chen knew that Wang Meng was full of blood and must have martial arts, but Wang Meng said that his martial arts belonged to his master's martial arts and could not be passed on to anyone without permission.
Moreover, he also told Jiang Chen that many of the martial arts circulated in the world are passed down from family or masters. If you treasure your broomstick, you will never spread it to others even if you die.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to learn martial arts, even if it is an inferior martial arts.
The way to obtain the secrets of martial arts has been completely blocked by various sects and major martial arts families.
This is actually the same as the practice of Taoism. As the saying goes, Tao should not be taught lightly, and Dharma should not be taught to the six ears. This is what is said.
Of the three major paths of cultivation, the civil and martial arts, the literary and spiritual path is better, but aristocratic families also monopolize many valuable classics. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a great Confucian.
However, Wang Meng found a second-rate martial arts for Jiang Chen through his own means!
Masters in the martial arts world are divided into two levels: innate and acquired.
Not being in the first class, third class, second class, and first class are all things acquired.
Both Grandmaster and Grandmaster are innate.
In terms of pure combat power, great masters of martial arts can even compete with monks in the Visualization Realm, and are almost at the top level in the world. However, their methods are too simple. Close combat may be okay, but long-range combat or magic weapon fighting is far behind.
After the Grand Master takes one further step, he can shatter the void, soar into the sky, and become a Martial Immortal.
But this step is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the road is almost broken.
Jiang Chen does not expect to become a great master of martial arts. He just wants to learn from others through martial arts and elevate himself to a perfect level of health cultivation as soon as possible.
"The old master of the Chiyang Martial Arts School in Changfeng County was critically ill not long ago, and the young master was too young to be the leader. Therefore, before his death, the old master closed the martial arts gym and dispersed the disciples."
"In the past few years, his family has spent a lot of money due to his injuries and illnesses, and all his life savings have been invested in it, so he wanted to leave a sum of money to his descendants before he died."
"So he wants to sell all the martial arts secret books in Chiyang Martial Arts School. Most of the martial arts secret books in Chiyang Martial Arts School are not popular, and the price is not too high.
"Gong" is a top second-rate martial arts."
"That's why he leaked the news a few days ago that he wanted to sell the "Red Jade Art" to someone with a price of one thousand taels of silver. He also promised that he would only sell it once and never twice within a hundred years."
"Nowadays, many warriors are ready to make a move, but they are a little discouraged when they hear the price."
"However, "Red Jade Kung Fu" is a top second-rate martial arts, and a thousand taels of silver is really not too expensive. If it were in the county, it would probably have been bought by those martial arts families."
"A top-notch second-rate martial arts is enough to become a powerful force. If I hadn't been so strapped for money, I would have bought it a long time ago."
"His technique is a top-notch second-rate martial arts for self-protection. It does not conflict with the "Crazy Dragon Sword Technique" that I have learned. With this technique, I may be able to reach the level of a second-rate master!"
