() Li Ling shook his head helplessly, knowing that the nine-tailed fox would not wake up for a while, so he picked a pine branch nearby and swept the snow around the nine-tailed fox. In the middle of cleaning, Li Ling suddenly noticed
Paused, worried.
"Xiao Ling, sit down and meditate and adjust your breath for two hours! If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it at dawn." The nine-tailed fox closed its eyes and said something, which shocked Li Ling, who was in a trance.
"Yes, Master." Li Ling saw that the snow on the nine-tailed fox's body had almost been swept away, so he sat cross-legged beside the nine-tailed fox, put his palms on his knees, breathed in and out, and entered
The state of breath regulation.
Huashan Mountain has been known as the Immortal Mountain since ancient times. Its aura is overwhelming and the surroundings are quiet. Li Ling quickly entered a state of concentration and concentration, reaching the realm of the unity of heaven and man in martial arts.
The sun rises from the east, and the rays of light shine for thousands of miles! It shines on the green peaks in front of you, and reflects the great rivers and mountains like ink paintings, adding a different kind of vitality to this spiritual mountain range.
When the sun shines on the two people covered with snow, it is as if there are two more snowman statues on the cliff peak. They are quiet and peaceful, one with the world, without self and emptiness.
After Li Ling entered the state of adjusting his breath, the Lingtai became empty and his heart was extremely calm. He could not feel the cold wind and cold climate from the outside world. The only thing that remained in Li Ling's heart was a sea of air and a piece of Huashan.
The sea of spiritual energy within.
As the sun continued to get higher and higher, Li Ling exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. He suddenly felt relaxed all over his body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off in an instant. He felt so comfortable that it was beyond words.
"How do you feel now?" The nine-tailed fox half-closed his eyes and asked Li Ling gently.
"I feel that my soul has been released and I am no longer in so much pain." Li Ling said with a slight smile.
"That's right, cultivating the Tao means cultivating the mind. If the mind is as vast as the sea, there is nothing that cannot be resisted. Look at the mountain peaks here. Each one is tall and tall. For thousands of years, they have never been knocked down by wind and frost.
, they are the Tao!" the nine-tailed fox said calmly.
"Tao!" Li Ling savored this so-called Tao carefully.
"Tao is the truth of heaven and earth, the foundation of all things, it is Taixu, it is vitality." The nine-tailed fox said.
"Did you feel that your spiritual platform was completely empty last night, with no thoughts or worries?" asked the nine-tailed fox.
"It's true." Li Ling did feel one with heaven and earth last night among the spiritual mountains.
"Well, this is what Taoists call the wandering mind." The nine-tailed fox smiled in a Zen way.
"The wandering mind is too empty!" Li Ling thought.
"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and surrounded by spiritual energy. Even those who have never practiced Taoism can easily bring themselves into the realm of spiritual wandering and Taixu. However, if they are transferred to a flashy city, they will become restless.
, I feel restless, this is the so-called realm problem." The nine-tailed fox said.
"The realm of Tao?" Li Ling felt that every word spoken by the nine-tailed fox contained the truth of Taoism.
"People are easily disturbed by external things, and they have seven emotions and six desires. If you can't get rid of the seven emotions and cut off the six desires, you won't be able to understand the great perfection of Tao." The nine-tailed fox said.
"But if you really go to kill the seven emotions and kill the six yu, then what's the point of living?" Li Ling sighed slightly.
"That's a good question. Get rid of the seven emotions, but keep the great emotions. Cut off the six emotions, but keep the great emotions. The great emotions and universal love, and the great emotions will return to their true nature. It is said that the small way is born and the big way enters the world. This is the truth." The nine-tailed fox said.
.
"Master, I understand." Li Ling's mind suddenly became peaceful, but because of his impetuousness, he couldn't see through it.
"It's good that you understand. How do you feel now?" the nine-tailed fox asked.
"I feel that Quietness is right in front of me. In fact, she has always been in my heart, hasn't she? It's just that my worry and impetuosity have covered up all this beauty." Li Ling smiled at the rising sun.
.
"Haha, what a good boy. He has a good understanding of nature and is teachable. He is worthy of being my disciple of the nine-tailed fox." The nine-tailed fox smiled heartily.
"Master, the reason I came back this time is to let you improve my strength, not to understand the so-called Tao. You have taught me so many Tao, but it has not improved my strength at all." Li Ling sighed slightly.
"Enlighten yourself first, correct your mentality, and then teach you martial arts. Otherwise, you won't go crazy." The nine-tailed fox shook his head.
Li Ling understood that it turned out that the nine-tailed fox first let him climb the rock wall to consume his own energy, and then let himself meditate and adjust his breath, entering the state of wandering in the Taixu, and then taught himself what the Taoist state was.
As the saying goes, every step you take has a reason. If the mind is not calm, it is a big taboo in martial arts.
"It's rare that the sun is shining brightly today. Come with me to a place." The nine-tailed fox shook its arms, and the snow covering the surface spread instantly, spreading evenly around the body to form a very regular Tai Chi shape.
Li Ling also followed the example of a gourd and used his true energy to spread the snow on his body. However, when the snow spread, it could only form a circle, but it could not become Tai Chi.
"Master, you are still the best." Li Ling said with an awkward smile.
"Nonsense, I'm not that great. I can be your master." The nine-tailed fox picked up the wine gourd on his waist, took a sip of yellow soup, then put it back on his waist, jumped up, stretched, and moved.
neck.
"After sitting all night, my bones are frozen and stiff." There was a crunching sound, and the nine-tailed fox swung its waist, and the bones were indeed crunchy and brittle.
Li Ling also stood up. He still had the feeling of stiffness in his bones. He couldn't help but twist his waist to activate the blood in his waist.
I saw that on the top of the mountain, an old man and a young man were twisting their waists facing the sun, looking extremely weird.
"Master, you had no breath last night. What kind of kung fu did you practice?" Li Ling had always been confused and asked now.
"That's because I restrained my breath after my mind wandered too far. This way I can prevent tigers, leopards, jackals and other animals from eating me alive." The nine-tailed fox said.
"Yes." Li Ling nodded, and he suddenly understood that there was no breath at all, and it was under the snow. When people saw it, they thought it was a snowman. When the animals saw it, they naturally thought it was a snowman.
"Let's go, that place is still a bit far away. While it's still early, I hope I can get there before the sun sets." The nine-tailed fox crossed its arms and looked into the depths of Huashan Mountain.
"Where exactly is it?" Li Ling asked in surprise.
"You'll know when you get there, follow." The nine-tailed fox turned around and jumped off the cliff at the back of the mountain. This cliff was a hundred meters high, so he could jump without falling to pieces.
Li Ling looked at the nine-tailed fox, who was as light as a swallow. With his hands spread out, he seemed to be able to control the surrounding airflow to slow down his fall.
After twenty breaths, the nine-tailed fox landed on a pine tree in the mountains, standing steadily on tiptoes on a leaf on the top of the tree. This kind of movement almost got rid of the gravity of the earth.
"Master, it's so high, how can I get down?" Li Ling shouted to the bottom.
"My mind wanders too far, and I forget myself." The nine-tailed fox replied from below.
"How can such a thing be possible?" Li Ling looked at the cliff over a hundred meters high and sighed slightly.
"If you can't even pass this level, it will be difficult to practice in the future." The nine-tailed fox put his hands on his back, stepped on the pine leaves, looked at the top of the mountain, and Li Ling sighed slightly.
"Fight." Li Ling closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the speed of the wind. He jumped up and fell down like an eagle soaring into the sky.
Hearing the whistling wind in his ears and his body falling rapidly, Li Ling was about to lose his mind, so he quickly gathered his mind and pulled himself out of the confusion and back to the realm of wandering in the universe. Suddenly, the spiritual platform became clear and he could clearly understand.
Changes in surrounding airflow.
Although the air flow was weak, it could act as a huge resistance to falling. The true energy in Li Ling's body spontaneously overflowed from the pores, pushing Li Ling's falling body and slowly landed on a rock.
Li Ling opened his eyes and felt for the first time that when a person is facing a life or death crisis, if he can remain in the state of Taixu, he can develop the power to break through the physical limits.
Just like when his body fell just now, Li Ling was conscious and did not make any resistance. Instead, his body automatically reacted to save Li Ling.
"Let's go." The nine-tailed fox glanced at Li Ling approvingly, then jumped forward.
Li Ling's mind was extremely peaceful and he also chased after him. The two of them walked through the mountains using Qinggong for a long time, and soon arrived at the foot of a cliff.
On this cliff, there are many weird coffins hanging in the air, and each coffin is several meters apart.
Li Ling looked up the cliff, feeling a solemn feeling of deep admiration in his heart.
"I don't know how those coffins were hung up." Li Ling raised his head and looked up, praising in his heart.
"Of course someone carried it up." The nine-tailed fox said mysteriously with bright eyes.
"Carry it up. The cliff here is so steep. How can we carry it up?" Li Ling frowned and observed the surroundings of the cliff. There was no way for people to carry the coffin up.
"When you practice Taoism to a certain level, it is not a problem to control the air, move mountains and fill the sea, let alone this small high-altitude hanging coffin." The nine-tailed fox said with a slight smile.
