Stray Chapter 43: Cheap disciples and the inheritance of Taoism

"Teacher! Sister Charlotte...you're here!"

Ouyang Mingzhu quickly came to the front hall. It seemed that after receiving the notice, she immediately ended her retreat, and hurried over after changing her clothes.

She still looks like a young girl of 28 years old, wearing a long blue dress, and when she saw the two familiar figures in the front hall, her delicate and beautiful face suddenly melted like ice and snow, and she burst into a smile I mean, Cui Shengsheng shouted like that.

The tone is full of joy, the brows are happy, and the voice is excited.

"Miss Ouyang, long time no see." The head maid just nodded lightly and responded in a straight-forward manner, with only slight fluctuations in her eyes, but the expression on her face was as indifferent as ever.

However, the girl in the long blue dress was still very happy about it, and at the same time, she felt a sense of reassurance - there was no change, it was wonderful to be the person she was familiar with.

"Well, long time no see, Pearl..."

Xia Ran first took a sip of tea slowly, then glanced at the Miss Ouyang, and had already looked at the situation of the other party and commented casually——

"Sweeping away the acquired habits, exposing the innate true body alone, and using the spiritual light of the self to promote the opening of the profound entrance, it seems that you have made a lot of progress over the years..."

In fact, he was somewhat surprised. He hadn't paid much attention to it recently. Now that he looked at it again, he couldn't imagine that this cheap disciple of his was about to reach the third stage.

The talent of this Miss Ouyang is truly amazing, and it has only been nine years when she is fully counted.

With such a talent and understanding, he can achieve something in everything, but unfortunately he was killed by Li Jiangliu in the original trajectory.

"My apprentice is really stupid, but I practice day and night, I don't dare to neglect, I finally live up to the teacher's entrustment..."

Ms. Ouyang, who was a little nervous at first, breathed a sigh of relief, and said this with some joy. Although she was not complacent, there was still a kind of complimented joy in her eyes.

She was actually a little worried at first, because she felt that she had stayed in the third stage for too long over the years, and it was difficult for her to reach the next stage.

I also feel that I finally understand why the teacher has never handed over the fourth stage's spell inheritance to me. I'm afraid that she knows that she is embarrassed, and thinks that the third stage will hold her for a long time... Facts Proof that it is.

——Miss Ouyang, who has never really come into contact with other cultivation systems, probably doesn't understand how amazing her cultivation progress is.

—— She also didn't understand that the reason why her teacher only gave her the cultivation methods of the first three realms was because he only perfected this part of the techniques.

And even Xia Ran himself is still in the fourth stage. The road to success is only a sign of success, but the method used does not have much reference value for others.

After all, everyone else has only one life, and they have not tried to ascend again and again in the Kunlun sky, and there are frequent opportunities for trial and error. Although it is said that if you have the ability to bathe in the Kunlun sky light, then it seems that it is not bad to directly become an immortal. In this worldview, it is considered to be a true fruit, and it is not necessary to embark on the more difficult path that he has opened up.

"It's already very good, you've done a very good job, completely beyond my expectations... It's nothing but spirit, essence, and three things, so the three things are related to each other. Deeply understand the essence of practice."

The young Taoist put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his cheap disciple carefully, and said with approval.

"A person's cultivation of the Tao must go from the five elements to the five elders, and the three flowers to transform into the three cleans. Only then can you return to the original and infinite body, and reach the ultimate goal of perfection. And now you have opened the three flowers of spirit, spirit and spirit, and you can maintain prosperity and maintain prosperity. If this is the case for a long time, then the cultivation of the Dao has already been accomplished.”

In the past 15 years, he has combined his own cognitive attainments, based on the mysterious system spanning several worlds, and borrowed the practice books of this world, and integrated them into his own practice system.

Practice and seek the Dao, it will be a matter of course. Although the road behind is not completely clear, there are still many things that he does not know or understand, but the road ahead is confirmed and tested by him from all aspects.

And they all used "self" one by one to go forward one by one, overcoming obstacles and blazing a trail, and Ouyang Mingzhu's ability to practice step by step to this stage is a clear proof.

——The first stage is the beginning of entering the Tao, mainly to first cultivate the mental state of visualization, which is also the process of seeing one's nature and enlightenment.

After all, cultivating Tao is a process of self-study and self-evidence. If you have doubts, and your will and belief are not firm, you will not be able to cultivate anything.

The so-called "no thinking and no worrying" begins to know, until the mind has always been pure and still, and when something touches it, it will not move, and when the mind is familiar, it is firm and accurate, and then it will be able to manifest itself and enter the seven stages from now on.

This stage is no different from ordinary people. There are not too many special supernatural powers. It only pays attention to lightness of body and mind, peace of mind, peace of mind, and Xuanjing, holding one and keeping the center...

——The second stage is the real beginning of cultivation, which is also the stage of foundation building.

A hundred days to build the foundation, to grow the holy fetus, and to lay a good foundation for the future cultivation path. It is required to ensure that the body's qi and channels are unobstructed, the whole body is free from disease, and it is absolutely healthy, laying the foundation for the subsequent practice steps.

It sounds very common, but in fact, the rigid requirement of absolute health is very scary. It is necessary to fill the meridians and qi points with the spirit, the qi and channels, and the four five elements in the body to break through the five aggregates. The people who hold the position of the second line of supervisors are already first-class masters in the arena.

A person who can do all of these things through the Four Great Breakthroughs and the Five Aggregates is probably the level of Zhang Sanfeng's level of martial arts masters in the arena. Constant limit, psychic insight.

——And the third stage is the realm that Xia Ran just said, to cultivate to the top of the three flowers.

Three Flowers Gathering on the Top refers to cultivating the glory of one's own human body, qi and spirit as the foundation, constantly strengthening the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and becoming the purest and most complete cultivation practice, naturally able to fly freely , If it weren't for this world's longevity being governed by the book of life and death, then it would be possible to prolong life for thousands of years.

And the essence is the jade flower, the qi is the golden flower, the **** is the nine flowers, and it can be said to be the three flowers of heaven, earth and human beings, which correspond to the three small steps in the big realm, like the Qionghua school's sword refining and becoming an immortal. The law is divided into three levels: controlling the sword with qi, controlling each other with qi and qi, and transforming the sword with qi.

——From the beginning of the practice, the disciple who has just been able to use the sword but is beyond the world, to the level of the elders of the various sects who can truly be called Sword Immortals, which basically corresponds to the level of Xia Ran. Manifestation of temporary obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But it is just like the method of cultivating immortals and refining the Tao in this world. The next step is to cultivate into a realm, and cultivate into an immortal body, but it is another brand new world.

The exercises compiled by Xia Ran also place the critical point of this qualitative change in the realm of the fourth phase. After all, in the seventh phase's assumption, since seven is the highest and four is in the middle, this is naturally not biased. The middle point of the leaning point is exactly the meaning of inheriting the past and opening up the future.

Unfortunately, although he himself has perfected the technique at this stage, he has not found a better way for others to follow this path. However, now, his cheap disciple is progressing so fast, how can this be good?

"It's really nice not to let you down, teacher."

Ouyang Mingzhu smiled sweetly, she was a little girlish and naive, maybe it was in front of these two people who might be her most trusted and close people in this world, that she would really relax.

"However, teacher, you suddenly arrived today. Is there anything you want to tell Mingzhu?"

"Cough cough, this... is mainly on a whim. I have a premonition that you may have entered the hall on the way to practice, so I came here to see if you have any doubts about your practice..."

Xia Ran coughed twice and said solemnly, watching Ouyang Mingzhu's increasingly charming expression, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

If he hadn't discussed it with his teammates before, he would have almost forgotten that he was here in Chenzhou, and that there was such a cheap disciple as Ouyang Mingzhu.

In the Hidden Fragrant Hills of Jimo, after killing Li Jiangliu who came to the door, Ouyang Mingzhu's soul was naturally rescued by him. After getting rid of the witchcraft spell, he woke up and clearly knew what happened. .

At that time, the young lady was in grief and wished to drag the already dead Li Jiangliu out for a thousand cuts, but she also felt that she had killed her father—

If I knew earlier that I shouldn't have treated the beggar at the time, let the vicious monster die in the Guandi Temple. In that case, he wouldn't have the chance to cast a curse to kill his father.

After that, Xia Ran sent her soul back to the body of Ouyang Mansion in Chenzhou, but something went wrong.

It may be that the witchcraft incantation is too domineering, or it may be that Li Jiangliu never thought of returning her soul from the beginning, and it is more likely that the soul was detained and separated from the body, and then was taken all the way to the road from Chenzhou. When I went to Jimo, I was already damaged...

In a word, Ouyang Mingzhu's soul body is unstable, and the phenomenon of spiritual out-of-body still occurs from time to time, and for an untrained mortal like her, the soul is too fragile, not to mention the disaster of wind, fire and thunder , the mere exposure to the outside world is a kind of harm.

This is not the way to go in the long run. In addition, Miss Ouyang was stimulated at that time, and she wanted to learn from a teacher and seek justice for her father. Xia Ran simply accepted the first and only official disciple. , I also want to see if my Taoism can truly spread.

This is also why Ouyang Mansion is full of artificial humans. After all, his disciple is alone and helpless, so he has to make arrangements for the other party.

But the conclusion is obvious, Ouyang Mingzhu can indeed practice, and the effect is very good. It's just that Xia Ran didn't know why she didn't stop after personally killing the wealthy businessman from Chenzhou who bought murder a few years ago.

Generally speaking, since you have already achieved your ultimate goal and you will get your revenge, there should be no need to push yourself harder, right? Could it be that she also lost interest in this world of the mortal world and began to seek the Way?

"It turns out that, teacher, I happen to have some doubts, I hope I can get your answers..."

Ouyang Mingzhu had no doubts about him, nodded again and again, and took advantage of the situation to express some of her confusion.

"Teacher, you said before that the next realm is to achieve the Five Qi Chaoyuan, to gather the power of the five elements from all directions to refine the body into Qi, to drive the Qi of the Five Elements for one's own use, and not to be affected by mutual generation and restraint... But the theory of the Five Elements, Aren't you heretics?"

Sure enough, I still asked.

Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, but she explained it seriously: "It's just a matter of looking at things and summarizing from a different angle... In the mid-spring moon, the hexagrams are shaking, and everything is out of shock, which is the reason for the growth of hair. Like an elephant, the power of thunder can also be regarded as the qi of wood; the accumulation of gold and good division can naturally also be regarded as the embodiment of the power of wind..."

Although it is not perfect, it is not a problem to just explain the principle.

In this world, the theory of the Five Elements is an outlander; the theory of the Five Spirits originates from Pangu's opening of the sky, and Nuwa's creation of human beings is just right.

But at the height of Xia Ran, it is natural to understand that they are actually the same nature, a whole thing, and there is no fundamental difference.
