On the way back, Ye Shaofeng always doubted whether what Mrs. Guo said was true or false.
In fact, there is nothing to doubt. Mrs. Guo's skill in driving the capsule into the wall was truly demonstrated in front of Ye Shaofeng. People who are not cultivators cannot reach this level.
Moreover, Mrs. Guo's cultivation level has already surpassed that of Ye Shaofeng, an entry-level cultivator who only knows the basics and is still at the foundation building level.
Specifically speaking, what level of cultivation this old lady Guo can reach, this Ye Shaofeng does not know. At least from the hand she just showed, it is not difficult to tell that this person's level is definitely not low.
In fact, anyone who has read Xianxia novels basically knows the divisions of cultivation levels. From low to high, they are: foundation building, rotating light, fusion, heartbeat, spiritual silence, Yuanying, out of body, distraction, and integration. After overcoming the tribulation, we finally reached the Mahayana, which is what we usually call enlightenment and ascension.
Although there are so many levels, the essential difference starts from the Nascent Soul stage. After the Nascent Soul is cultivated, it is no longer a mortal and has certain spells.
Buddhism has always focused on cultivating the soul, while Taoism focuses on cultivating the body. In Buddhism, at the end of cultivation, one has to give up his body, turn into a golden body, and become a Buddha immediately, while Taoism cultivates to the point where In the end, what is important is to first refine the elixir in one's body, then transform the inner elixir into a human form, gradually develop this human form, and finally, let this human form merge with one's own body, and finally ascend with the body.
Therefore, according to Taoist cultivation methods, when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you have completed ordinary cultivation, and your body will undergo the most essential changes.
Buddhism and Taoism have been two separate cultivation methods since ancient times. What Ye Shaofeng has been exposed to before has always been the Buddhist cultivation method. In Buddhism, this is not called cultivation, but called cultivation. Ye Shaofeng came back from Nepal and learned about the cultivation method. , all are Buddhist cultivation methods. Now, a Taoist old lady appears in his life path, which makes Ye Shaofeng a little uncomfortable, as if the belief he has always admired has suddenly been replaced by another one. The same way of thinking.
This is like the feeling when a student who excels in science is finally deceived by outsiders into studying liberal arts. He is confused for a while and comes in confused.
Ye Shaofeng was not in a hurry to worship the old lady as his teacher, because he had Buddhist things in his body, and Buddhism and Taoism were not the same family. He had to choose one of the two. Ye Shaofeng could not give up his deep-rooted Buddhist thoughts, so he would not give up easily. Change your views and original intentions.
Before leaving, the old lady gave Ye Shaofeng a so-called magic weapon, which was a palm-sized ball similar to a crystal ball, except that it was similar to the color of jade, and this color seemed to be a gas. It was slowly moving and rolling inside.
The old lady said that only those who are cultivators can see that the gas inside the sphere is rolling. The higher the level of cultivation, the faster and more turbulent the gas inside is rolling. The old lady said that what she saw inside the sphere was Qian's gas seemed to be rolling violently like a stormy sea, but what Ye Shaofeng saw was only very slow movement.
Mrs. Guo said: "With this magic weapon, you can develop many of your abilities. With your Buddhist practice, the speed of cultivation is slow, and basically you will not develop any magic power. If one could follow Taoist cultivation methods, one would be able to develop some special powers, such as clairvoyance and invisibility.
Even if you don’t want to learn Taoist things now, if you bring this magic weapon with you, this magic weapon will absorb the energy that you practice every day. This energy will be accumulated in this ball. When you need it, you can draw it out of this ball. Energy, and the extracted energy will be converted into special functions in you. As long as there is enough energy in the ball, your special functions will always be there. Therefore, whether this ball can become a treasure depends entirely on it. You have cultivated yourself.
Don't worry, this doesn't conflict with your Buddhist practice," Mrs. Guo finally added.
Ye Shaofeng held the ball in his hand. When it first came into his hand, it was still cold. However, as the ball combined with Ye Shaofeng's body breath, the ball began to emit a natural energy, adjusting Ye Shaofeng's body temperature to Best condition.
This method of body temperature regulation requires Buddhist practice to reach a very high level, and is basically a skill that can only appear at the Arhat level. Unexpectedly, this Taoist magic weapon can be used so easily.
Otherwise, Taoist personal cultivation is only one aspect, and it must be combined with elixir refining and magic weapon refining to coordinate it together.
"I can't accept such a valuable magic weapon," Ye Shaofeng said.
"I told you to take yours, and the magic weapon will recognize its owner. Now you are my disciple, so this magic weapon can be passed down to you easily, and I have made a contract with you. Not only can this magic weapon help you accumulate Energy can also teach you how to practice kung fu. Bringing it with you is equivalent to me teaching you kung fu,"
"But I didn't take you as my teacher," Ye Shaofeng said.
"It's not your business whether you want to be a disciple or not. As long as I admit it, then you are already my disciple with me. The person I approve of, this magic weapon, will naturally be recognized. Take it with confidence, he You will slowly discover the benefits," said Mrs. Guo.
Ye Shaofeng took away this magic weapon so easily.
In fact, both Buddhism and Taoism pay attention to good fate. As long as you are destined to be together, you are destined to be together. Ye Shaofeng is destined to the inner martial arts of Buddhism, so he traveled thousands of miles to Nepal to obtain the true teachings. , Ye Shaofeng and Mrs. Guo are destined to have a destiny, and they are destined to have a destiny with this magic weapon. Therefore, by a strange combination of circumstances, two people whose lives did not intersect in the first place actually intersect. This is the fate of fate. Both Buddhism and Taoism recognize this.
Ye Shaofeng returned home with this magic weapon. He had not been home for a long time. At night, when he was sleeping in a room by himself, he saw the crystal ball placed next to the pillow emitting light blue and deep purple, as if It is the same color as the vast universe.
This sphere adjusted Ye Shaofeng's question to the best state, purified the surrounding air to the state most beneficial to the human body, and even emitted a light natural air, which made people feel calm and content.
In this state, Ye Shaofeng fell asleep peacefully...
