"Have you two remembered what my master said?" After speaking more than twenty Maoshan precepts in one breath, Uncle Jiu turned to look at his two apprentices and asked.
"I've remembered them all." Lin Tianqi said seriously. In fact, except for the first few things his master said, he didn't remember a lot of the rest. But on the surface, he still pretended to be extremely serious, which was correct.
The appearance of the incident seemed to be that he really remembered it carefully.
Xu Dongsheng next to him was actually the same. He couldn't memorize a lot of sect rules and precepts taught by his master at once. However, at this time, he was also following the pace of his senior brother, and he was also imitating Lin Tianqi.
He said yes seriously, but his eyes flickered a few times with a guilty conscience.
"Very good, I hope you will remember what I said today, especially the first few points." Uncle Jiu saw that Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng both had serious looks on their faces, and he nodded with satisfaction and continued.
Said: "Next, I will tell you what cultivation is."
Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng both pricked up their ears when they heard this. Although they had followed Uncle Jiu for a while, especially Lin Tianqi, who had followed Uncle Jiu for more than ten years since he was a child, they had never practiced Maoshan magic. For Taoism,
, also know nothing.
Therefore, when they heard that their master wanted to tell them what cultivation was, they immediately pricked up their ears and braced themselves up.
Uncle Jiu looked calm and solemn, with his hands behind his back, he walked and spoke.
"Cultivation of Taoism means cultivating the soul. The soul is the essence of living beings and governs all consciousness and behavior of living beings. Those without souls are nothing more than a walking corpse. My ancestors observed the vastness of the universe and the mysteries of all things and created a method of cultivation. Cultivate the soul to strengthen yourself and understand the mysteries of heaven and earth.
Ming controls the mighty power of heaven and earth, but the soul is closely related to the body."
"The reason why my master has not taught you how to practice my Maoshan method is precisely because of this. The body is calm and the soul is peaceful, and the body is strong and the soul is strong. For those who have not practiced Taoism, the strength of the soul also mainly depends on
Whether the body is strong or not, as long as the body is strong, it will slowly nourish the soul and make it stronger."
"Although the soul resides in the body of a living being, under normal circumstances the living being cannot sense the existence of its own soul. On the one hand, it is because it does not know how to sense its own soul. On the other hand, the soul is generally weak. A living being cannot
The weaker the soul, the more difficult it is to perceive, and conversely, the stronger the soul, the easier it is to perceive.”
"As a cultivator, the first step I need to take is to sense my own soul. If I cannot sense my own soul, I will never be able to enter the path of cultivation for the rest of my life."
"My teacher has only taught you boxing for this reason. I hope you can strengthen your body before practicing, so as to nourish your soul and make your soul stronger, so that it will be easier to feel when you officially start practicing.
Your own soul steps into the door of monasticism."
"After sensing one's own soul, it can be regarded as entering the first realm for us cultivators - nourishing the soul!"
"The realm of nourishing the soul, as the name suggests, is to nurture the soul through the method of cultivation and make one's soul stronger. As the soul becomes stronger, the soul power will also become stronger. If it is strong to a certain extent, the soul power can be extracted from the body.
Release things that interfere with the outside world, such as moving objects through the air and moving objects with soul power."
"The release of soul power to interfere with physical objects is also a sign that the realm of soul cultivation has reached its peak. However, the soul is still not too strong at this time. Even if the soul power is released to the outside and has the ability to interfere with some physical objects, it is still very weak and powerful.
Some may be able to move some objects weighing one or two kilograms, while the weaker ones can only move some small pieces of paper. It is also impossible to directly use soul power to attack."
"So in the soul-nurturing realm, for us ascetics, there is not much improvement in strength. If we don't use some talisman and seal spells, there is not much difference from ordinary people. And now the most ascetics in the world are also
In this realm, for the monks in this realm, we monks are collectively called warlocks!"
"Why is this, master?" Xu Dongsheng asked curiously, and Lin Tianqi also looked at his master with some curiosity.
Uncle Jiu turned his head and glanced at Xu Dongsheng and Lin Tianqi, pacing with his hands behind his back.
"The so-called warlocks are those who are uneducated and have no skills, which means they are not good at learning and have half a bucket of water, which is what your uncle is doing." After saying this, Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng again and warned: "You guys
You two are not allowed to imitate him in the future, do you understand?!"
"yes!"
Xu Dongsheng responded honestly. In fact, he even knew who the uncle Mamadi was. Lin Tianqi knew it, but they were not together too much. At the moment, he was concerned about the Maoshan method and practice that his master would teach them next.
realm, he asked immediately.
"Master, what is the state after raising the soul?!"
"Beyond soul nourishment, there is soul condensation." Uncle Jiu said: "In the soul condensation realm, the soul is condensed into a physical form and lives in the palace. Only those who have reached this realm can truly learn and gain something.
He can be regarded as a truly righteous man, otherwise, he can only be called a warlock!"
"At this state, the soul condenses into a physical form, and the soul power also undergoes a qualitative change. Not only does the soul power have powerful attack power, but it can also actively communicate with the energy of heaven and earth to cast spells. There is no need to use ordinary talismans at all. The monks
Only when it reaches this level can its true means begin to be revealed."
"As for the soul-condensing realm, it's still far away from you. I'll tell you when you reach the soul-condensing realm one day."
Having said this, Uncle Jiu did not tell Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng that they were in a monastic realm above soul concentration, because he was worried that they were too ambitious.
Lin Tianqi originally wanted to ask about the realm above soul condensation, but he suppressed his thoughts after hearing his master's words.
"Master, is it difficult to practice to the realm of soul condensation?"
Xu Dongsheng asked again like a curious baby.
"You, Uncle Qianhe, Uncle Four Eyes, and your incompetent uncle have been practicing Taoism for decades and still haven't reached the realm of soul condensation. Do you think it's difficult or not?"
Uncle Jiu glared at Xu Dongsheng angrily.
Xu Dongsheng's neck shrank slightly, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Master, what state are you in now? Have you reached the soul-condensing state?" After speaking, he looked at Uncle Jiu without blinking.
.
Lin Tianqi next to him didn't say much, but he looked at his master curiously. He also wanted to know what state his master was in when he entered the country.
"Do you two bastards think that you can't even reach the realm of soul condensation as a teacher? Huh?!"
Uncle Jiu did not say anything clearly. Instead, he looked at his two apprentices and asked.
Xu Dongsheng touched the back of his head in embarrassment, laughed dryly and said: "Of course not?!" Then he quickly lowered his head.
Uncle Jiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly when Xu Dongsheng lowered his head, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
As a master, I am quite arrogant!
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his master's little actions.
