Cultivating the Tao means cultivating the soul. A Taoist cultivates the soul, pursues the transcendence of the soul, and firmly believes that if one practices to the extreme, the soul will be strong enough to break away from the shackles of the body, and even transcend life and death, live forever, and become a legendary immortal Buddha-like existence.
As long as the heaven and the earth, as bright as the sun and the moon, immortal and immortal, but what about cultivating the body? If the body is strong enough, isn't it possible?
Lin Tianqi has been thinking about this issue since he first started to practice Taoism formally. As a Taoist, he firmly believes that the ultimate of the soul is detachment and immortality. So if the physical body is powerful enough to reach its extreme, isn't it possible to cultivate the physical body, or the soul and the physical body can be cultivated at the same time?
, what will happen? In cultivation, is the only way to cultivate the soul? Lin Tianqi doesn't think so.
If the only path to spiritual practice is to practice Taoism and refine the soul, then what should you think of zombies and how to explain them? The power of zombies is completely reflected in their strong bodies, indestructible bodies, and terrifying power. These are all manifestations of strong bodies, especially today.
The late bronze-armored corpse made Lin Tianqi realize the horror of being physically powerful to a certain extent.
Lin Tianqi feels that cultivating the Tao and refining the soul is a path of cultivation, but cultivating the body may not be a path of cultivation. If the body continues to improve infinitely, imagine if the body is as strong as a bronze armored corpse, or even stronger.
, what kind of scene will it be, let you use all kinds of spells, as long as my body is strong enough, I can also break your spells.
"Master, Sister, is it because the body of the bronze-armored corpse was so powerful that it was fundamentally different from us?" Lin Tianqi spoke at the dinner table, raising the doubts he had always had in his mind.
He looked at his master and his aunt Liu Qingmei and asked them, wanting to hear their opinions.
Uncle Jiu, Liu Qingmei, and Liu Shengnan at the dinner table also stopped when they heard this and raised their heads to look at Lin Tianqi. Uncle Jiu's eyes flickered.
"What do you want to ask?" Uncle Jiu said, looking at Lin Tianqi along with Liu Qingmei and Liu Shengnan beside him. The hotel owner and Wu Qingqing and others not far away also looked here and heard Lin Tianqi's words.
Lin Tianqi glanced at Wu Qingqing and others, thought for a moment, and didn't care. These people don't know how to practice. It doesn't matter even if they hear it, and it's not a big deal in the first place. He pondered for a while and said: "I want to ask, we
The ascetics cultivate the Tao and refine the soul, but what about cultivating the body and body? Is it possible to cultivate the body as well?"
"After all, zombies are transformed from human corpses after death, and their body structures are still human after all. Since zombies can have such a powerful body, if we people keep cultivating our bodies, can we also reach that level, or even become stronger and practice Taoism?
Soul refining is a path of cultivation. Is it possible to cultivate one's body and body and constantly improve one's body?..."
"What Tianqi means is to practice martial arts!?" Liu Qingmei pondered for a moment and then said.
Practicing martial arts means refining the body, cultivating the Tao and refining the soul, and practicing martial arts to strengthen the body. Although the names are different, the meaning is the same.
Lin Tianqi nodded and looked at Liu Qingmei and his master.
"Actually, what I want to ask is whether practicing martial arts and exercising is also a method of spiritual practice, and how far it can go in the end."
Uncle Jiu and Liu Qingmei looked at each other after hearing this, and suddenly thought of the powerful physique that Lin Tianqi had shown before. They guessed that Lin Tianqi might have thought about this because of this. After all, Lin Tianqi's current physique has far exceeded
Although normal people cannot be compared with the previous bronze-armored corpses, they are not comparable to ordinary people either.
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Jiu said -
"In general, martial arts training is indeed a method of cultivation, and it has existed since ancient times. There are many martial arts masters throughout the ages, and there are many famous generals in ancient times who are masters of martial arts. However, martial arts training is the same as our cultivation. In the end, we can
No matter which step you reach, it all exists in the theory."
"For me as a Taoist, I firmly believe that if we practice to the extreme, the soul can transcend the physical body, become one with heaven and earth, and become immortal and immortal. But if we practice to the extreme, can we really achieve that step, where the soul can transcend the shackles of the physical body and become immortal?
There is no way to record or verify this, and no one knows.”
"Similarly, for warriors, they also firmly believe that the ultimate in martial arts is transcendence, sainthood, and immortality."
"It is rumored that there once was an eminent monk in Tibet, who was suspected of being able to break through the martial arts. His body was flawless, his flesh was fragrant, and his body remained unchanged for hundreds of years after death, lifelike as a living person. Every drop of his blood during his lifetime contained powerful power.
Able to kill evil ghosts and evil spirits, Pure Yang is infinite..."
"However, these are just rumors after all, and the facts cannot be verified."
"It doesn't matter whether you practice Taoism or martial arts, but no one knows whether you can really reach the legendary step."
"Strictly speaking, the set of boxing techniques I taught you since childhood can also be regarded as martial arts."
Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Tianqi and said calmly, practice Taoism to refine the soul, and martial arts to temper the body.
Lin Tianqi nodded slightly and had some confidence in his heart. In other words, there was nothing wrong with cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts, but there was no final conclusion as to where he would go in the end. But this was not important to Lin Tianqi. He wanted to know
The only thing is to determine whether this is a spiritual path.
As long as you are sure, you don't need to think about anything else, just practice. As for where you can reach it in the end, let the facts speak for you.
"Why, are you interested in martial arts training?" After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Tianqi and said.
"I'm not interested in martial arts training, I'm interested in spiritual practice. If martial arts training is a feasible path, I want to give it a try." Lin Tianqi said with a smile.
Uncle Jiu glanced at Lin Tianqi when he heard this, and nodded slightly when he thought of Lin Tianqi's current physical condition.
Liu Qingmei also smiled lightly when she heard this, and said with a tone of approval.
"Judging from Tianqi's current performance, it is not necessarily impossible to try martial arts. Your martial arts talent is very strong."
For their cultivators, they are not against practicing martial arts. In fact, most cultivators, who can basically be regarded as half martial artists, will practice some martial arts to strengthen their bodies. They will also practice martial arts while practicing Taoism, so after hearing Lin Tianqi's words, no matter what
Neither Uncle Jiu nor Liu Qingmei had much objection.
Because they all know that cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts can be said to complement each other to a certain extent. A strong body and a strong soul. If the body is strong and healthy enough, it will also nourish the soul and become stronger, and a strong soul can also be better.
It maintains vitality and is conducive to physical exercise.
Perhaps the only difference between practicing Taoism and practicing martial arts is the difference in emphasis.
Therefore, for Taoists, martial arts training is not excluded. Just like Liu Shengnan, in terms of Taoism and cultivation, she is not very strong. She is almost at the bottom of the level and can deal with some ordinary ghosts. However, her strong body and martial arts are
Let her strength be greatly improved.
So after hearing Lin Tianqi's words, Uncle Jiu and Liu Qingmei didn't object much. Moreover, judging from the strength Lin Tianqi showed this time, it was obvious that his physique had reached an astonishing level. This made several people silently think that Lin Tianqi's physique was different from that of Lin Tianqi.
Ordinary people may have amazing martial arts talents.
"Whether you are practicing Taoism or practicing martial arts, they are all practices and there is no conflict. If you make a decision, my teacher will not interfere too much. But remember, don't be too eager for quick success or too ambitious."
Finally, Uncle Jiu warned Lin Tianqi that he had no objection to Lin Tianqi practicing martial arts. In fact, the health-preserving boxing method Lin Tianqi now practiced was martial arts. However, he was still worried that Lin Tianqi was too ambitious and eager for quick success, so he warned Lin Tianqi that he was still very confident in Lin Tianqi's talent.
, the only thing I worry about is Lin Tianqi’s character.
"Thank you, Master, for your instruction. Tian Qi will remember it."
Lin Tianqi also responded after hearing his master's words.
Later, after the meal, the four of them sat down and chatted for a while before going back to their rooms.
"system!"
After returning to the room and lying down on the bed, Lin Tianqi couldn't wait to call out the system. After absorbing the energy before, he had not had time to look at the harvest this time. Now that he calmed down alone, it was naturally time to count the results, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Weiwei has some faith and expectations.
He also wanted to see how much energy the bronze-armored corpse provided him.
