Chapter 477: The Source of Taoism, the Law of Saints
"The so-called software is orthodoxy."
The core of Taoism is a system of cultivation that can be popularized.
If we want to develop a cultivation system that can be popularized, we have to study the previous major cultivation systems in depth.
"Start from the most recent civil and military ways."
The closer you are, the more data and samples you have, and the easier it is to conduct research.
Note that it is convenient, not easy.
In fact, in terms of difficulty, we have to go in reverse, follow the historical context, and start with the Yuanwu Way.
However, the longer the history, the less information is left, and the fewer people are practicing.
Moreover, even among the existing cultivators of other systems, what they practice has been tampered with so much that it has long been changed beyond recognition.
In this regard, Wen Sheng did the most upright thing.
"In fact, the later the cultivation system is, the more susceptible it is to the influence of the previous cultivation system. After all, the new cultivation system itself is completed on the basis of the old cultivation systems."
Just looking at the Way of Civil and Military Affairs, it clearly contains the salient features of several major cultivation systems.
For example, the visualization diagram of the Way of Longwu, the golden elixir of the Way of Danwu, etc.
"Let's put aside the influence of other systems and focus only on the unique and innovative aspects of civil and military methods."
As for the contents of other cultivation systems in the Way of Civil and Military Affairs, we will consider them comprehensively when we study the corresponding cultivation systems.
Through this separation, the most difficult civil and military way is turned into the simplest cultivation system.
It’s still my usual style of doing my own research.
The principle of putting the easy things first and then the difficult ones is immutable.
"The core of the way of civil and military affairs is Tao Wen. I have already done in-depth research on this, so I can skip it."
Daowen is the key to the great road, and it can be said to be one of the greatest discoveries of the human race.
If there is no Dao Wen, if the human race wants to study the Dao, they can only use their innate magical powers.
However, the innate magical powers of our human race are acquired later in life. They are small in quantity and of poor quality. Most of them are incomplete and have no obvious magical powers. Compared with the demon clan, we are not even a little bit inferior.
Daowen bypassed the restrictions of the magical power, which is called the seed of the avenue, and directly opened the door of the avenue with the key.
On this point, even Qin Yi admires him very much.
"The most remarkable feature of the way of civil and military education is that you can clarify your aspirations through reading and condense the will of martial arts."
Qin Yi couldn't understand this before.
If martial arts will were so simple, it would have been discovered long ago.
After all, although this is the world of martial arts, there are also people in history who are particularly good at reading.
However, before the birth of civil and martial arts, there had never been a person in history who gathered the will to do martial arts because he was good at reading.
However, after truly achieving the status of a saint, Qin Yi truly felt the power of the saint and understood the mystery.
Qin Yi raised his head and looked at the saint's Dharma image, which looked like a letter representing the literary saint.
"The reason why the Tao of civility and martial arts can make one's will clear through reading should be the power manifested by the literary sage using the sage's law to determine the Taoist lineage."
Qin Yi suddenly thought of something.
"The Dharma Appearance wasn't named by the Literary Saint through his observation of the Dharma Appearance of the saint, right?"
It's really possible.
Qin Yi described that when he saw the saint's Dharma, his first impression was that of the saint's Dharma.
"No, no, the Dharma has been used by the Literary Sage, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings here."
I want to change my name.
“Since we don’t use ‘Dharma Appearance’, let’s use ‘Tao Fruit’.”
They represent individual orthodoxy, and each orthodoxy is actually equivalent to the avenue of humanity.
The avenue of humanity corresponds to the three thousand avenues of heaven.
The phantom of the saint in the sky shows the result of what has already happened. For example, his phantom of the Holy Emperor has another white lotus phantom, which is the manifestation after he incorporated the white lotus into his cultivation system and achieved certain results. "The 'Tao Fruit' is not vivid either. 'Tao Fruit' only shows the results, not its role as the foundation of Taoism."
We can see how strong this influence is on the human race from the way of "reading books to clarify one's will and condensing the will of martial arts" in the way of civil and military affairs.
It can be called "following the rules of words and deeds".
It’s just that this “Dharma” only corresponds to the human race and the cultivation system.
"Change it to 'fruit position'."
This character embodies the role of the saint’s personality.
"If it's still not vivid, just call it the 'Sage's Law'."
Qin Yi suddenly realized that he had made the mistake he often made before, focusing on trivial matters like naming and neglecting the research topic.
"So, the most important thing for me to create my own cultivation system is to determine what 'sage's law' is?"
This saint's law must not only fit in with the cultivation system, but also greatly reduce the difficulty of cultivation.
Qin Yi already has several answers in his mind, but there is no rush, the research has just begun.
"However, everything has advantages and disadvantages."
Qin Yi quickly and rationally realized the shortcomings of the saint's law.
"Just like the way of civility and martial arts, success means 'reading to clarify your will and condense the will of martial arts', and failure means 'reading to clarify your will and condense the will of martial arts'."
All warriors who practice civil and martial arts are trapped in the ambitions they originally set throughout their lives.
You have been practicing it all your life. If there is a slight mistake, your martial arts will will be injured, or even collapse and die.
This is how Qin Yi’s teacher died.
"The will of martial arts is so fragile, so easily injured or even collapsed. This is very rare in other Taoist traditions."
Qin Yi believes that the aristocratic family should have discovered this shortcoming long ago and there should be a secret method to alleviate this situation.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for his teacher to persist for so many years after suffering a setback in his career, before his martial arts will collapsed and died.
"It should be a soul secret technique similar to hypnosis. However, when the teacher practiced the soul and reached the state of soul leaving the body, the hypnotic effect of this soul secret skill was greatly weakened or even disappeared, and then..."
It was only then that Qin Yi belatedly deduced the entire truth about the collapse of his teacher’s martial arts will.
"The dimension of consciousness is too high. Can a saint reach the dimension of consciousness? Even if it reaches the dimension of consciousness, can it modify the rules of martial arts and will, which are also dimensions of consciousness, without backlash?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Qin Yi believed that the original intention of civil and military affairs was definitely not like this, and it was absolutely impossible to leave such a big flaw in the way of civil and military affairs.
"When I determine the laws of saints, I must avoid these mistakes."
We cannot repeat the mistakes of the former and follow the other party's old path.
"The greatest contribution of the Literary Sage is to create the realm of Dharma."
Dharma is the result of the combination of soul and true energy.
It is very consistent with Qin Yi’s dimensional theory.
It is a necessary process for dimension upgrading.
"The reason why Literary Sage can do this is probably because Literary Sage's research on Taoism has reached a certain level and he can do it with the help of the power of Dao."
As for the demon clan, it should be achieved with the help of innate magical powers.
After all, Shinto is also called the seed of the great road.
Even if you reach the domain level, magical powers are still an indispensable part.
This shows the power of supernatural powers.
And through supernatural powers, we can get a glimpse of the power of the avenue.
"Daowen, I may have been a little too arrogant in the past and believed too much in my own Feng Shui technique, but I ignored the role of Daowen."
Dao Wen, the key to the great road.
But it is more in touch with the existence of the avenue than magical powers.
"It just so happens that I have started to integrate Taoism and Feng Shui. Maybe in the process, I can make new discoveries and achieve new breakthroughs."
This can be a focus of future research.
"We have studied the way of civil and military affairs until now, and now we will begin to study the way of Danwu."
In fact, Qin Yi is more interested in the way of Danwu.
Qin Yi is even more urgent at this time.
"Why does golden elixir have such a strong effect in refining gold?"
This is something Qin Yi doesn't understand.
The refining speed of gold is too slow, which is also the biggest culprit that troubles Qin Yi's cultivation speed at this time.
"If we study the principles behind it, perhaps we can solve the problem of my slow cultivation speed."
Not only him, but most of the other Dharma Realm warriors are trapped by this.
Qin Yi sensed the golden elixir in the three golden phases in the sky, and felt very helpless at the speed of refining the metal.
We have obviously reached the realm of Dharma, but we still rely on the golden elixir to condense the metal nature, and the speed is far from comparable to that in the golden elixir realm.
This is probably not detectable in other Dharma realms.
That is the nature of gold after all.
Not everyone can detect it.
However, this phenomenon is indeed unusual.
It doesn’t make sense. As your realm improves, the speed of refining your golden nature slows down.
However, there are exceptions, Literary Saint.
"How did Literary Sage solve this problem? Literary Sage had reached the perfection of the Dharma Realm early on."
There is something obviously wrong with this cultivation speed.
After all, Literary Saint himself is not famous for his speed in cultivation.
"And the Alchemy Sage, how did he discover the gold nature in the golden elixir?"
Even if the golden elixir can be determined through the rules of the saint, the first one to discover the golden elixir and the first to achieve the golden elixir must always be the elixir sage.
How was Alchemy discovered?
How does Alchemy Saint’s golden elixir condense?
"I may have overlooked something, the key factor."
Qin Yi sat cross-legged under the peach tree, tapping his knees with his right index finger while recalling the "Records of the Alchemy Saint" and "Records of the Literary Saint" he had read.
The Records of Literary Saints were compiled by Qin from the perspective of a student, so the records are not very detailed. However, part of "Records of Dansheng" was compiled by Dansheng himself. It is similar to a memoir and contains some details.
Not found in the record.
Just like the golden elixir.
"The Alchemist discovered a miraculous elixir from the medicine house. Out of curiosity, he used it to make an elixir, and finally it became a golden elixir. After swallowing it, the golden elixir condensed in the body."
This description was written by Dan Sheng himself.
In his early years, Alchemy Saint focused on alchemy, and in his later years, he focused on the secret arts of the soul. Writing "Records of Alchemy Saint" was a task given by the family. He had no intention at all. He just wrote a memoir and handed it in. The family later based it on
His memoirs were verified in many ways and polished, and then he came up with the "Real Records of the Alchemy Saint" that he saw.
This point has already been explained in the preface of "Alchemy Record".
They didn’t delete a single word from Dan Sheng’s memoirs, they just added embellishments.
They even specifically marked which ones were written by Alchemist himself.
"The Alchemy Record is compiled very rigorously, this should be certain.
"A magical elixir? In the medicine hospital... this, why does it have a strong sense of sight? Wait, this, this elixir, it can't be the spiritual root of heaven and earth, right?"
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth came into being. Since I can have it, why can’t others have it?
"If this is the case, then Literary Saint..."
Qin Yi recalled the contents of "Literary Sage's Record", suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized the truth.
"Bamboo, bamboo slips..."
Yes, Wen Sheng was very fond of bamboo, and the courtyard where he lived was in a bamboo forest. The weapon that made Wen Sheng famous was a magical bamboo slip, but this bamboo slip was lost in the subsequent spiritual catastrophe. "It turns out that I am not special. Every saint has the spiritual roots of heaven and earth."
However, unlike Qin Yi, they not only witnessed the birth of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but also directly integrated their souls into the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. Now, they even want to integrate the spiritual roots of heaven and earth into his cultivation, becoming his greatest breakthrough to the blessed land realm.
with help.
Thinking of the attention Mo Ju and the Human-Faced Spider paid to his heaven and earth spiritual roots, Qin Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Perhaps refining the spiritual roots and integrating them into the cultivation system is the correct way to use it."
But like the Alchemy Sage and Literary Sage, refining elixirs and making books is a waste of natural resources.
Qin Yi was trying to be eloquent, but he just had a thought in his mind and did not express these words with his mouth.
"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth came into being, gathered the spiritual intelligence of heaven and earth, and were nurtured by heaven and earth."
The genius of heaven and earth originally possesses the magical power of creation, coupled with the nurturing of heaven and earth.
"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth contain rich gold in themselves, and they can synthesize gold themselves. As time goes by and they continue to grow, the gold they contain will only become more and more."
Only then did Qin Yi realize why when he condensed the second soul, he directly became the Yuanying. When he condensed the third soul, he directly became the Yuanying.
"The birth time of Panlong Taomu was too short. In addition, the time for the divided soul to integrate was also too short, and the gold nature it received was too little. Therefore, the talent and gold nature were limited, and it only condensed into Nascent Soul, while White Lotus has matured.
, even before death, he broke through to the realm of blessed land, and the third soul was bred and born in the white lotus soul. Naturally, as soon as it condenses, the soul will be perfect."
Knowing the origin of the gold nature of the golden elixir, Qin Yi also guessed what the sage's law of the elixir was.
"The Alchemy Sage must have been lazy and directly used the Golden Pill as a sample to determine the cultivation level of the Golden Pill realm."
And under the evolution of the saint's law, this magical phenomenon naturally occurred.
The human race, only in the Golden Elixir realm, has actually begun to refine the nature of gold, and the refining efficiency is very high.
However, there should be a limit. Once this limit is reached, although it can still be refined, the speed should slow down.
Return to normal levels.
What is this limit?
It should be the perfect golden elixir.
Therefore, after breaking through the golden elixir realm, the speed at which the golden elixir can refine the golden nature will decrease instead of increasing.
"Alchemy Saint's laziness will create a huge problem for us latecomers."
