Chapter 109 The Difference Between Taoism and Buddhism
In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed, and Flanders and the master still have not returned. The soul power of the food soul emperor Shao Xin has also reached level 70.
As the deputy dean, Zhao Wuji, after discussing with three teachers, Lu Qibin, Shao Xin, and Li Yusong, planned to take Shao Xin to hunt for his seventh soul ring, and at the same time look for the master and Flanders who had returned from a long absence.
On the Shrek Academy playground that day, Vice President Zhao Wuji and three teachers stood on the stage and gave instructions to the six Ma Hongjun people standing in a row below.
"You little bastards, you should study hard and practice hard in the academy. Don't participate in the soul fighting until we come back. After we leave, the six of you will come to discuss something. If you can't get attention, go to Hongjun."
"yes!"
Although the six people looked worried, they still chose to accept the order without hesitation. Among them, Ma Hongjun and Tang San looked the most worried. These two unlucky children almost cried.
Flanders and Grandmaster have been away for more than three months, hunting for Grandmaster's fourth soul ring. He should have come back long ago, but he didn't. This is the reason why everyone is worried.
"You don't have to worry too much. Maybe the dean has broken through level 80, so they need to hunt for two soul rings, so the delay will be longer."
"We old guys will definitely find the dean and master, just wait for our good news!"
The tall and thin old man was the control soul emperor Lu Qibin. The old voice was gentle and kind, and there seemed to be a magical power in it. Under the interference of this magical power, the mood of the six people seemed to have improved slightly.
Some of the extremely depressed expressions of Ma Hongjun and Tang San seemed to have been injected with life, making them much better than before.
"The academy will be left to you to take care of. If you want to learn from each other, just be patient with each other. We old guys are leaving!"
Zhao Wuji said something, looked at each other with Lu Qibin, Shao Xin, and Li Yusong, and left Shrek Academy under the reluctant eyes of Ma Hongjun and the others.
The cultivation levels of these four people are now different from what they used to be. Zhao Wuji's soul power is level 76, Shao Xin is level 70, Lu Qibin is level 67, and Li Yusong is level 66. If he wanted to hunt a forty or fifty thousand year old soul beast, the average Zhao Wuji would still be able to kill it.
It can be done, but as a bunch of talented little monster teachers, they can't look down on ordinary soul beasts.
No, Shao Xin, who has been studying his own martial soul, none of the several soul beasts he was looking for this time were ordinary.
However, the soul beasts they looked down upon also looked down upon them. Zhao Wuji had to deal with them all by himself, and he had to devote himself to protecting Shao Xin. It was probably a bit difficult. Besides, he also had to find the whereabouts of Flanders and the master.
Originally they planned to let Li Yusong stay to protect their six genius little monsters, but after seeing Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er's martial soul fusion skill Ice Fire Phoenix, Zhao Wuji and the others were relieved.
Just when Zhao Wuji and others rushed to the Star Dou Forest, on the other side, in a valley in the Star Dou Forest, there was a creature about fifty meters long and more than two meters thick, with a single purple horn on its head and golden light all over its body.
The golden python was as soft as a noodle, lying quietly on the ground motionless.
I don’t know why, but the purple horn on the python’s head looks very beautiful, its color is crystal clear, and it seems like light is flowing.
And on the ferocious head of the golden python, a long sword was inserted into the brain from one of the python's eyes. It was inserted so deep that it was almost completely submerged, leaving only the hilt outside.
A bright purple halo floated over the one-horned python. Beside the golden python, there was a middle-aged man in black shirt with the appearance and temperament of an eminent monk, and a man in a windbreaker, a face with soles, wearing a
A middle-aged man with square eyes stood in front of the golden python.
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing glasses said, "Xiao Gang, this 5,000-year-old purple electric golden light python has finally been solved. We have been searching for it for more than three months. It should be worth it."
Luo Sanpao has evolved again, please absorb the soul ring quickly, I really look forward to its changes, I will protect you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Flanders!"
"Hey, we brothers still need to talk about this, hurry up and absorb it!"
It turned out that these two people were Flanders and the Grandmaster. They originally wanted to find those soul beasts that met the Grandmaster's requirements. However, when they entered the Star Dou Forest, they unexpectedly heard from a group of soul hunting mercenaries that the Star Dou Great Spirit Beasts
On the outskirts of the forest, someone seemed to have seen a thousand-year-old purple electric golden light python, a spirit beast.
So the two of them put together a plan to search for a soul beast suitable for the master and at the same time search for the thousand-year-old purple electric golden light python.
After searching all the way, the master judged from some clues that the purple electric golden light python should be around five thousand years old, so the two of them combined and stopped looking for other soul beasts. The master's fourth soul ring was this one.
The purple lightning and golden light python.
The attributes are consistent, the year is right, and it is a powerful soul beast with dragon bloodline. There is no one more suitable for Luo Sanpao.
The master nodded and sat down cross-legged. The purple halo seemed to be drawn by something, and headed towards the fat man with three cannons standing in front of the master.
The master here is absorbing the soul ring, and on the other side, Zhao Wuji and others are rushing towards the Star Dou Forest.
At Shrek Academy, after all the teachers including Zhao Wuji left, Ma Hongjun and others also entered into their own studies and practice.
Tang San, Shui Bing'er, Dai Mubai and others were either working hard to cultivate their soul power, or they were practicing soul skills, their own martial arts and some Tang sect martial arts. Only Ma Hongjun didn't practice much soul power, practicing soul skills and
When he was practicing martial arts, he would also communicate with others. During the rest of the time, apart from Miss Bing'er who accompanied him and assisted her in practicing every day, Ma Hongjun was either practicing boxing to strengthen his body, or studying his own skills with a book.
Occasionally, I would ask Tang San for advice on how to create skills.
More than two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this afternoon, Ma Hongjun, sitting cross-legged on a large bluestone in the forest medicine garden behind the student dormitory, slowly opened his eyes.
"It turns out that the more advanced the exercise, the more complex the meridians that need to be penetrated and run. Moreover, the organs and properties of the meridians are different, so there are differences between exercises."
"The biggest difference between our Taoist skills and other skills is that in the beginning, the Taoist skills are cultivated with the two meridians of Ren and Du, which control the yin and yang of the body, that is, the circulation of the Little Zhoutian. Therefore, the biggest characteristic of the Taoist skills is that
It is Zhongzheng, peaceful, pure and long-lasting. Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from non-being. For Taoists, Tao is around us, everywhere, everything has its own laws of operation, everything is real and not false, so Taoism is the key to Taoism.
Dharma, whether it is visualization, mindfulness, etc., in the final analysis, it is all about understanding oneself and the nature of heaven and earth, and the unity of heaven and man.
And the body exists.”
"But practicing Buddhism is different. All blessings are within a square inch. You can find them from the heart and feel everything. Buddhism emphasizes that the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are empty, and everything in the world is a dream. Therefore, although Buddhist techniques include visualization and meditation,
, but in the final analysis, what is actually important is not to look to the outside world, to understand oneself, and to seek the Dharma from within the heart, that is, to cultivate the body. As the saying goes, one should live without dwelling in one's mind. This is also why, at the beginning of Buddhism,
It is difficult for fellow practitioners to have any great achievements. Most of those who have achieved great achievements have dabbled in both Buddhism and Taoism, and have reached the same destination through different paths."
"As for nature and nurture, Xiao San once told me that nature is not necessarily better than nurture. People who practice nurture to the top and communicate internally and externally to nature will definitely be better than people who directly tap into nature at the beginning. But when people tap into nature, they also practice
When the inner and outer worlds of the Great Zhou are unified, those who break through the innate from the peak of acquired heaven are simply no match for those who directly enter the innate."
"In this way, my skill can be considered completed. Let's call it Tai Chi. Although it cannot make the six flames in my body merge into one, it is not impossible. At least it can temporarily solve the problem."
Ma Hongjun muttered to himself, looking inside to see several kinds of flames in his body coming in and out of the Lingguang Sword. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. This was his solution, and he was really grateful.
He lost his teacher Flanders. If it weren't for his original whimsy, Ma Hongjun would not have the confidence to preserve these magical flames of different properties in his body under the purification of cockscomb and phoenix sunflower.
