"So, the two senior brothers have gained something from this Dunru Academy?"
Qi Ying narrowed his eyes and said.
When he said this, Liu Dunru was no longer as eloquent and talkative as before, but maintained a mysterious smile and said lightly: "I don't dare to talk about the gains, but I did learn some things that I didn't master before. "
Shi Lou next to him said with a smile: "Junior brother, you look at Senior Brother Liu, you still treasure your broom and hide it!"
Qi Ying waved his hand: "I was the one who was rude. Don't ask too many questions about cultivation matters, especially those involving other people's unique cultivation experience. I broke the rules."
Liu Dunru chuckled and said: "Junior brother, you don't have to worry about this. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you - we recruit disciples and recruit students to practice calligraphy, painting, poetry, and prose to find the most suitable method to liberate our own strength. You have also seen that our Students are generally free and unrestrained, and their state is very suitable for liberating power."
"Oh?" Qi Ying said softly, "I hope Senior Brother Liu can clear up the confusion."
"Junior fellow practitioners of chess, one of the four arts, should know that the rules and regulations on the chessboard will only be constraints when applied to the actual use of power."
"indeed so."
Qi Ying nodded.
In the world of Qiankun Chess.
By playing chess, one's own chess power can be transformed into terrifying cultivation, and extremely powerful cloud beasts and magical powers can be derived.
What is followed is actually the mysterious morality of chess itself, rather than the rules and routines on the chessboard.
Liu Dunru continued: "In the process of training students, we gradually discovered that the deliberate restrictions on the rhythm and structure of poetry stifled the students' imagination, making their creativity lower and lower, and their cultivation Higher, the power is not stronger, and the potential is greatly wasted. For example, if a student is asked to write a five-character quatrain, although he can write it smoothly, he can easily reach the level of "the pen comes into being". , However, this level of performance is far from his upper limit - if he can freely create a poem or poem that completely condenses his own spirit, the power displayed will be the power that gives him the proposition. It’s dozens of times, hundreds of times more than the restricted poetry.”
Shilou next to him also answered: "The same is true for calligraphy and painting. Painting mountains, rivers, heaven and earth is the right way to practice. A mountain of Tao descends and crushes everything... But this method may not be suitable for everyone, or in fact, it is not suitable for most people. 'My hands draw my heart'. When a practitioner of the Tao draws the Tao, the thoughts and ideas in his heart reach a very harmonious level and are in harmony with the heaven and earth. When he draws them, that is when his potential is maximized... Look at the outside Those disciples, such as the fat man with a fat head and big ears, have no momentum at all in painting mountains and rivers, but painting erotic pictures can immediately make all practitioners of the same realm fall into an illusion, and they can't extricate themselves... Some people doodle freely, and the quality of the completed paintings , but it is much higher than works painted according to precise painterly techniques."
Qi Ying listened thoughtfully.
Qi Lie clapped his hands and said: "Ah, I finally understand. You are saying that practice should be unrestrained and not subject to the restrictions of the world. People who stick to etiquette will not have a broad mind and can only write in squares. I am bound to be unable to follow the rules in my articles, and those who only know how to practice Buddhism by reading scriptures according to the text will definitely not achieve much. Right? Like me, I can eat when I want, drink when I want, and when I feel unhappy, I will set fire to it, so cool and unrestrained , is the right way to practice, isn’t it?”
When listening to the previous sentences, Liu Dunru and Shi Lou both nodded in affirmation.
However, the last sentence made them almost spit out the tea in their mouths on the spot - they were indeed born to be weird, but they really didn't know what humility was at all!
Qi Ying smiled and scolded Qi Lie: "You are talking nonsense again. If you can eat whatever you want, then you will be really lawless. You must not eat everything in the world? No, I won't wait for you to eat half of it. A group of demon slayers and defenders have already come to kill you."
Shilou said: "This kid... his name is Qi Lie, right? Although his words are crude, they do make sense. Human practice is based on the way of heaven, not the rules set by senior masters. Just like your practice and mine. , are all achieved through combining one’s own understanding of heaven and earth, right? If we blindly practice those techniques in this world, do you think we can still achieve such a level of cultivation today?"
"Well, I never thought about it so deeply before."
Qi Ying said.
At the same time, the foggy cloud that had been shrouding my heart finally showed signs of being resolved.
That is, what is the path forward for my own practice
In the main world, Qi Ying is very energetic about her future cultivation, but in her heart, she is always a little worried.
There are many cultivators in the world, but like me, who condensed star cores in the body, entered a new cultivation system, and practiced a variety of methods in the cultivation system, making his own cultivation extremely mixed, not three or four, I am afraid there are only I am alone. Even if such cultivation can achieve success now and in the short future, what about the future
Qi Ying didn't dare to think deeply about this issue before.
He could only use desperate practice to relieve his panic about this unanswerable question.
Until now, after experiencing so many things in the Ziji Continent for more than 20 years, and listening to the words of Liu Dunru, Shi Lou, and Qi Lie, at this moment, the clouds have finally cleared up!
Never mind him!
Cultivation, which system of cultivation is not cultivation
Wasn’t the cultivation system also created by previous practitioners
As long as you practice the way of heaven and understand the principles of heaven, and in the process of practice you will understand more and more the mysteries of the movement of heaven and earth, and you will be able to use more of the power of heaven and earth, that is the healthy and righteous path of practice.
Qi Ying also understood at this time why Mr. Li was able to enter the realm of "Entering the Tao" in a world where it is theoretically impossible for a practitioner to understand the Tao to be born.
Because Mr. Li is not pursuing a certain kind of deliberate "Tao".
What he pursues is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth itself, the perfect movement of heaven and earth that encompasses all "Taos".
There is nothing wrong with the general direction of efforts.
With some luck and chance, he entered the Taoist realm.
As for a practitioner who deliberately pursues a certain "Tao" in Ziji Continent, no matter what method he uses, it will be good to reach the Xuanguang Realm, but it is absolutely impossible to enter the Tao Realm.
Because the "Tao" in Ziji Continent is incomplete and incomplete. What you are pursuing is itself an incomplete "Tao". How can you truly realize the Tao
