Yu Zhou and the others were still discussing the cause of Nan Songzi’s death. The final conclusion was that this person was greedy and wanted to seize a strong enough body. He was attracted by the demon wandering here. He was almost successful, but he didn't want to attract evildoers and suffer the consequences.
Yu Ci also feels that this is the most reasonable explanation.
After reaching a consensus, the atmosphere relaxed, and Yu Ci took the opportunity to raise the little question in his mind.
"Silverfish means silverfish repair!"
Hai Yangxian was outspoken and familiar with Yu Zhou and Xie Liang, so he also looked at Yu Ci differently. When Yu Ci asked, he rushed to explain to Yu Ci in front of the other two people.
There is a group of people in the spiritual practice world who, either because of their qualifications or due to chance, have no hope of immortality and have no future. They simply stop practicing and are willing to degenerate and pursue all kinds of enjoyment. Some go even further, failing in their own practice, and turning to destroy the practice of others. Their despicable behavior is so despicable that gods and ghosts hate it. They are called silverfish in the world of spiritual practice. To put it more formally, they are silverfish cultivators.
"There are also a large number of evil cultivators in the world who do things that harm others and benefit themselves to increase their cultivation. However, as long as they have the thought of immortality and the heart to follow the Tao, they still have some scruples. And those silverfish think they are dead. Ichigo, his mind is full of ridiculous and weird thoughts, and he can do many things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to himself. He only wants to be happy for a while, and has no bottom line. Some of his actions are outrageous..."
As Haiyang said this, his voice became louder and louder. It seemed that he had seen what Xingxiu did and was extremely disgusted.
As Yu Ci listened, another thought came to his mind: If you want to put it this way, Nan Songzi is not a pure beetle cultivator. At least Yu Ci knew that this person had a very strong desire for immortality and was obsessed with improving his cultivation to the Buxu realm. In comparison, he could put aside his concerns about Murong Qingyan.
It’s another person in my memory...
At this time, his eyes turned to the red gauze fragment again, feeling a little emotional. It turns out that this thing is called the Peach Blossom Tent. He has seen this kind of thing before, in the Shuangxian Sect.
Chiyin Fairy will not like this kind of thing, but her brother Zi Lei Great Immortal is definitely a man of this way.
Zilei is lustful and Chiyin is murderous,
Chi Yin's moodiness and reckless killings are already detestable, but Zi Lei's ridiculous and lustful behavior is even more outrageous. He often looks after several girls every day, except for his own sister Chiyin, who dare not touch him. Whenever he wants to, he will not let go of the girls in his class with their buns down. A red tent made of the same material was often hung above his bed in the palace. At night, the red light was flowing, which was very strange. The man would act wildly in the tent, causing harm to many beautiful women.
But I wonder if that scumbag is still alive today?
At that time, he felt that the brother and sister had a strong desire for immortality. It's just that Chiyin has a strong will, a clear purpose, and has his own principles for doing things; as for Zilei, his will is far inferior to that of his sister, and he often delays his practice for... things. Most of his desire for immortality is because he is afraid of death, or in other words, not Willing to shorten his days of pleasure.
Such a person may be more suitable to be called a cultivator.
At this moment, Yu Ci thought of the Chiyin Fairy who was far away in Cliff City again, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her heart.
**********
Whether it was a coincidence or retribution, the matter between the demon and Nan Songzi was resolved so dramatically.
It was the most critical time to kill the demons and block the tunnel between the two realms in the Sky Rift Valley. Xie Liang definitely couldn't delay too long. He rushed back the next day after killing the demons and Nansongzi. And because the sect is now short of manpower, Haiyang also left the Taoist temple two days later, and Zhixin Temple returned to its usual appearance, suddenly becoming much quieter.
Yu Ci sat in a quiet room with his eyes closed, surrounded by four walls, but in his heart was boundless emptiness, darkness and vastness. This is the "void in the heart" that Yu Ci pondered from "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method", which is the place where mental images are drawn.
Yu Ci still has no clue when it comes to describing the mental image, but it would be wrong to say that there is no progress at all. At this time, there was a bright moon hanging in the dark void, and a faint halo of light diffused from it.
In this "void in the heart", all images can be regarded as mental images, and they all have their own special meanings. They represent the "object image" of the self, that is, the actual state of the physical body and soul, such as this bright moon - that It is the mark of his previous ten years of practice.
However, he did not deliberately draw this bright moon, but appeared in the void as soon as his thoughts moved. The nature is somewhat confused: is this a mental image, or is it part of the "emptiness in the heart"?
Doubts existed, but with this bright moon, Yu Ci finally found some feelings.
He felt that with the bright moon hanging in the sky, something seemed to be gestating in the boundless darkness, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the "empty space in his heart". What he needed to do now was to remove the darkness. Things are sorted out clearly.
From the perspective of conventional practice theory, in "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method", "physical images" give rise to "mental images", which seems to be regarded as "purifying the Yins and Gods", and doing intermediate-level exercises to connect the gods. There is also the purification method of "clear and quiet space, spotless".
Of course, in "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method", these are just preliminary tasks for cleaning the "canvas", and the focus is still on depicting mental images.
Yu Ci did not work behind closed doors. He once asked Yu Zhou Laodao for advice. However, experienced Taoist practitioners tend to focus on the style of the empirical department, and are more cautious about these more mysterious inductions. However, he remembered that there was a junior disciple in the empirical department who had practiced this method, and he agreed to ask that person for his experience on behalf of Yu Ci.
Yu Ci is looking forward to this, because apart from the empirical part, the summed up experiences and experiences are often very feasible, which is very different from Xie Liang's way of focusing on self-perception.
At the same time, after being reminded by the old Taoist, Yu Ci also felt that it would be a good idea to ask others for advice and expand their ideas. Therefore, in addition to asking for advice from several senior brothers who had successfully formed Yin Shen in the temple, he also wrote letters to ask for advice from two talented disciples of the sect he knew.
Li You’s reply came quickly and very concisely, with just four words:
"Spare me!"
That guy is really not good at this.
Yu Ci was not surprised, and by the time he received Mengwei's reply, two days had passed.
At this time, Yu Ci was on his way to Xiaogu to practice. Coincidentally, when he was about to leave the gate, the reply letter from the mountain gate happened to arrive, so Yu Ci took it and went to Xiaogu.
Li You's response only took one glance, while Meng Wei answered very seriously. It was written in neat regular script, with no mistakes or omissions from beginning to end. After only two glances, Yu Ci straightened her mind and concentrated. Take a closer look.
"...The mind is the same thing, it is very individual, and everyone is different. It is difficult for me to make any suggestions, but I have something to say about the painting itself.
"The four departments of the sect, the moral department emphasizes induction, the academic department emphasizes speculation, the precepts department emphasizes rules, and the empirical department emphasizes practical results. Each department has a different focus on practice. Jie Shishu uses Tianzong's talents to also teach morality. , academic theory, and precepts, "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Law" has also been rated as "the three parts are integrated and taken to the extreme" by the elder immortal masters. Therefore, the spirit of the three parts of morality, academic theory, and precepts must be reflected in it.
"From the letter from my junior brother, it seems that more emphasis is placed on the induction aspect. However, the reasoning of academic principles and the rules of precepts cannot be ignored. Otherwise, pure induction will easily lead to illusions and delusions. Junior disciples must not be careful."
Yu Ci nodded repeatedly, this was right to the point. He can't make a move now. I'm afraid it's a bit "empty against empty". The so-called self-examination is not something that can be achieved by just conjecture.
Next, Mengwei extended her knowledge of Jie Liang's temperament, which was exactly the same as Yu Ci's original idea of studying the Qi Guan method. However, her understanding of Jie Liang was not comparable to that of Yu Ci.
"Uncle Jie advocates 'reason' as the source of the great road, and seeks a principle that is inclusive of all things in the world. This is his philosophy. I will not comment, but I think that junior brothers should also have a self in their hearts. The idea is the skeleton of the mental image, which is the consistent spirit.
"As for the rules, although I am not good at painting, I also know that I need to have a layout and a plan before writing. I must have a basic structure in my mind so that I will not follow the rules and lose the rules. If I don't know what rules to use, I will Here are some experiences that masters have said:
“The most original and simple laws of our Xuanmen Taoism are one positive and one negative, one yin and one yang, one movement and one stillness, which are mutually complementary. All the rules in the world come from it and continue to change. . I practice the Shang Sword Technique, flying the wing sword outside and guarding it with the pine pattern sword.
"If junior brother really doesn't know what rules to use, he might as well use this method. Even if there are changes in the future, he can evolve from them without hindering his practice..."
Yu Ci walked forward slowly, reading the letter from beginning to end, and then read it a second time. She put the letter away carefully and sighed in her heart:
"Good advice!"
He found that he now admired Mengwei just like Li You. This senior sister who only took twenty-eight years to cultivate to the realm of returning elixirs is truly a genius. He pointed out the things he had ignored in recent days and put forward very feasible methods.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Ci felt relaxed.
It feels so good to be in the sect. There are teachers who can teach the method, and there are fellow disciples who can learn from each other and ask for advice. Compared with the hard work in the past few years, it is really like the sky and the earth.
He grinned, but a gust of mountain wind blew in his face, and his smile suddenly froze.
In the wind, there was a very familiar aroma, but it should never appear here. Yu Ci’s keen sense of smell identified it clearly:
Peach Blossom Tent?
The source of the fragrance is four miles away from him.
His heart thudded, and his legs and feet stopped. At this moment, he felt a cold air coming from the snowy mountains, like a ferocious beast hiding in the dense forest. It glared and bared its fangs, its sharp teeth flashing with cold light.
