Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

Although Zhang Zhiwei was fast, he did not return to Longhu Mountain immediately after coming out of the wine shop, but walked slowly on the street of Shangqing Town.

After the breakthrough, he could more intuitively observe the gathering and separation of the natural Qi of heaven and earth.

The Qi of the market is different from the Qi of the mountains. He observed this world from a nearly macroscopic perspective, which was somewhat helpful for the understanding of the state of mind.

Of course, this is just better than nothing. His current realm has almost reached the limit that many extraordinary people find difficult to set foot in. It is extremely difficult to go further.

The experience of the predecessors is difficult to use, or in other words, the experience of the predecessors has been blocked by the predecessors.

If there is no special opportunity, it will stop here. There is no way forward, just like Zuo Menchang, who has been sitting in the cave for many years and practicing day and night, but it is difficult to gain anything.

It is difficult to follow the Tao, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Zhang Zhiwei is better than Zuo Menchang. He still has his own Tao, and his Tao has not come to an end. He can also combine the five elements and break through the three disasters.

Not only that, he still has a master, who can give him some advice, just like today.

Just now, although the master only gave a few advices, he expanded the scope and figured out a lot of things.

Those things that were previously vague and hidden in the fog finally became clear, which inevitably had a little impact on him.

The influence did not come from the outside world, but from oneself, a kind of thinking about one's own Tao.

"In the master's words, the way to heaven should be the ultimate polishing of one's own subjectivity, just like the true way of all nature, which is the transcendence of subjective consciousness. In this case, then the dual cultivation of nature and life... especially the polishing of life... seems a little..."

Zhang Zhiwei thought of some ancient sages, whether it was the Taoist Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of heaven, or Sakyamuni, the Buddha...

They are all saints who are extraordinary and otherworldly. Even if their influence still exists, their true bodies are no longer visible to the world.

The ancestor of heaven said that he ascended, but it is now difficult to say clearly what the details are.

However, the Buddha clearly sat down and passed away, or in Nirvana, but whether it was sitting down or Nirvana, it represented the death of the physical body.

"Before, I always thought that the Quanzhen Taoism was a way of cultivating both nature and life, which was a feasible way, but now I think that they are practicing both, but it is not."

"The Quanzhen Northern School founded by Wang Chongyang advocates that nature comes first and life comes second."

"The Quanzhen Southern School founded by Zhang Boduan advocates that life comes first and nature comes second."

"But whether it is the Southern School or the Northern School, in the end, they all refine the spirit and return to the void, and refine the void and merge with the Tao. This is all subjective polishing."

"They cultivate life, and what they cultivate is just a means of protecting the Tao, a place for the nature to be placed, just like a boat to cross the river, the nature is the person, the life is the boat, and one day they will get off the boat."

"And the Fulu School, the means of protecting the Tao are gold and silver. Light, thunder, talismans, this is a boat, so there is no need to practice life skills too much. "

"Master has never reminded me of these before, perhaps because he saw that I practiced everything and had a complete set of methods to protect the way, so he only urged me to learn more talismans and not lose the special methods of the talisman school. "

"But now, Master has reminded me that it is time for me to make a choice, should I continue to have both life and death, or start to return to the void and merge with the Tao?"

"Life and death!"

"Return to the void and merge with the Tao!"

Zhang Zhiwei walked on the streets of Shangqing Sect, but suddenly a feeling rose in his heart. It seemed that he was the only one left between heaven and earth, in all directions.

A kind of silence that was unique in the world swept over him. It was not invincible loneliness, nor was it solitude, but silence, a dead silence.

Zhang Zhiwei realized that there was something wrong with his state of mind, and there was a crack in his rock-hard heart.

He could have embraced the origin and stopped this state immediately, but he didn't. There was a gap in his state of mind. If he didn't deal with it, this gap would have the risk of being there, and even getting bigger.

Just like the left gatekeeper in the plot, Wu Gensheng was a little surprised. He thought that the left gatekeeper should be able to detect the problem of reverse birth, why didn't he detect it?

He attributed the reason to not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, because he was in this mountain and had cognitive impairment.

But in fact, the left gatekeeper was vaguely aware of it. He talked about this to himself in the cave. At that time, he had already realized the problem, but when he was about to reveal the answer himself, he said several impossibles and closed the answer. This is the gap in the state of mind.

Zhang Zhiwei's Tao is fearless. He wants to face everything, so even if he knows that he has made some mistakes, he did not end this state, but eliminated the interference from the outside world and questioned his original heart.

When it is extremely quiet, the spiritual platform is square, the three stars of the slanting moon reach the original heart directly.

Is my Tao wrong?

Is the training he has been doing for more than ten years redundant?

He asked.

In this state, all delusions will not be added to his body, and he will get the most real answer.

He did not completely deny the practice, but was just thinking whether the path of both sex and life can lead to... reaching the sky.

He wanted both, not dual cultivation.

He did not want to temper his life to the extreme, but in the end it was just a stinking skin to be discarded.

If the road to the sky of sex is to get rid of all the constraints of the objective on the subjective.

What about life? !

Can life be like this? !

Return the objective things to the objective, but life itself is an objective product!

If everything is returned, what is left? A ball of innate qi?

He seemed to understand the idea of ​​the Three Ones Patriarch.

But unfortunately...

The innate Qi is also an objective product, and it will also dissipate, and in the end, it will be nothing.

"The flesh body is just a boat, just a means of protecting the Tao, just a stinking skin bag..."

"End the practice of life and start more polishing?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, no, this is not his answer.

His answer is...

At this time, he remembered that his master had used the Tianshi Mansion as an objective example.

The Tianshi Mansion adopted him and taught him methods. He has many brothers and elders. They all treat him very well. This is his home.

Then why must he cut off from his home! ?

Practice, what is cultivated is the integrity of nature, not the severance of emotions and righteousness.

Therefore, what he pursues should not be detachment, but independence.

He can be independent from the "home", be independent, have his own sky, but he can also return to the "home" at any time.

So...

Zhang Zhiwei has the answer.

That's right, his way is not wrong, what's wrong with his way?

He has always been practicing the right path, but he just didn't realize it.

The master used the Tianshi Mansion to compare the objective world.

I also use the Tianshi Mansion to compare the objective world.

The objective world gave birth to me and raised me, and gave birth to everything. The subsequent encounters, whether good or bad, have their own subjective factors, and cannot be blamed entirely on God.

Therefore, one's own way should be independent, with a family but independent.

Rather than cutting bones to return to the father, cutting flesh to change the mother, completely severing ties with the family, or even treating it as an enemy.

Heaven creates all things and people, but people have nothing to do with heaven?

Zhang Zhiwei remembered a popular saying in the Sanyi Sect: Follow the trend to avoid disasters, and go against the trend to get Huiyuan Gong.

What the Sanyi Sect has always pursued is "Go against the trend to get Huiyuan Gong", and the way of cultivation is also to go against the trend.

But now, Zhang Zhiwei thinks, "Follow the trend to avoid disasters."

Follow and go against, maybe they don't have to be opposites, just like Quanxing's not pulling a hair, not taking a hair.

Quanxing only learned the first half, so it is an evil way, and everyone is confused.

Trinity only learned the second half. Although it was the right way, everyone was confused.

Then why not practice together? Or they should have practiced together.

"Sex" practice in reverse to get Huiyuan Gong.

"Ming" practice in the right direction to avoid disasters.

One side can make oneself independent.

One side can make oneself have roots and a room in this family.

Maybe this idea is a bit whimsical, but Zhang Zhiwei thinks it is feasible and correct. Asking the guardian gods in the Dharma lineage to descend directly and to descend with possession, the power exerted is completely on a different level.

Using someone else's body is still so, what if you use your own body that has been tempered for thousands of times?

With a thought of support, the gap in Zhang Zhiwei's mind slowly healed and disappeared completely.

He ended from silence, and the sounds of the world returned to his ears. He felt the so-called emptiness in front of his heart.

He opened his eyes, the sky gradually brightened, it was past dawn, and there were more pedestrians on the road. They gathered around Zhang Zhiwei and formed a small circle.

"Master Zhiwei, what's wrong with you? Why are you so motionless?" A vegetable vendor who often heard the story of Zhang Zhiwei said with a worried look.

"Yes, what's wrong with you? Tell me, don't just stand there in a daze!" said an uncle.

Most of them are small vendors who get up early and stay up late to make a living. When they were busy, they found Zhang Zhiwei standing on the street corner, motionless, and couldn't wake up even if they called him.

They are very familiar with Zhang Zhiwei. In this year, everyone's understanding of the outside world is only word of mouth, except for newspapers.

These rough people can't read a single word, so the only way is to listen to others.

And Zhang Zhiwei is undoubtedly a person with a wide range of knowledge in Longhu Mountain. He can tell everything. The key is that he loves to talk and doesn't put on airs, so everyone likes him very much.

Seeing him standing there with his eyes closed and motionless, the villagers were worried that he was in trouble, and had sent people to Longhu Mountain to report, but they didn't expect him to wake up suddenly.

After learning the whole story, Zhang Zhiwei bowed to the elders and villagers, saying that he was seeking enlightenment and asked them not to worry.

He exchanged a few polite words with the villagers, and then they dispersed. It was not that Zhang Zhiwei did not want to talk, but that the villagers had to go to work to make a living. If they had some free time, they would listen to Teacher Zhiwei's "classroom".

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Zhang Zhiwei did not stay in Shangqing Town for long. Facing the rising sun, he returned to the Tianshi Mansion.

Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts were clear, and when he looked at the rising sun again, he felt that it was extremely brilliant and full of vigor.

The golden sunlight shone on his body, making his body seem to be stained with a layer of golden light. Coupled with the occasional bird calls in the surrounding woods, there was a sense of harmony between heaven and man.

"The three treasures of heaven are the sun, the moon, and the stars. I collected the moonlight and starlight last night, and this morning I just collected the sun's essence!"

Zhang Zhiwei was tall, but his steps were very light. He walked on the mountain road covered with sunshine, peaceful and harmonious.

At this time, most of the Taoists on the mountain went to attend the morning class, so no one disturbed him.

Zhang Zhiwei absorbed the sun's essence, and the golden light came out from his mouth and nose. Then, his whole body was covered with golden light, shining brilliantly.

If the Taoists in the Tianshi Mansion saw it, they might think he was practicing the Golden Light Mantra.

Under the golden sunlight, facing the rising sun, Zhang Zhiwei's heart was as calm as still water. He came to the top of Tianmen Mountain, which was directly opposite the Tianshi Mansion.

This is where he often comes to practice. Last time, he tried the thunder method here, and the result was like a lightning rod, attracting five thunders from the sky, and everything on the top of the mountain turned into charcoal.

But unexpectedly, one of the tree stumps that was blackened by thunder actually grew new branches, and they were very strong.

Zhang Zhiwei stood on a high place, swallowing and exhaling the sun essence. The sun essence gathered into a golden mist, surrounding him, making him seem to be shrouded by a divine ring.

The lightning-struck tree not far away got a touch of the sun essence, swaying gently, and becoming more fresh and juicy.

The effect of the sun essence is also stronger than the moonlight. Zhang Zhiwei felt warm all over his body, and the pores all over his body were swallowing and exhaling sunlight.

"The three treasures of heaven, earth, and man are complete. The three talents of qi are nourishing my life, making my qi and blood more condensed, and my body more firm..." Zhang Zhiwei said to himself.

He absorbed it from early morning to noon. The Sun Essence Qi at this time was quite fierce, and there was a slight burning sensation when absorbing it.

He stopped absorbing it, not because he couldn't bear it, but because too much is as bad as too little. Although wine is good, you can't be greedy. The same is true for the Heaven and Earth Qi. It's not good to eat it all at once and become fat.

He needs to maintain a balance of the Three Talents Qi in his body.

The human body is actually a small world. What Zhang Zhiwei called following the will of heaven is to collect the origin of heaven and earth Qi while tempering his life on the basis to strengthen his own human body.

"Huh!"

Zhang Zhiwei moved himself and expelled the excess Sun Essence Qi he had just collected from his body.

He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of golden Qi, which fell on the lightning-struck tree next to him.

In an instant, the crooked tree trembled violently, and then grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. From a new branch, it grew into a crooked tree, and a little golden light on the surface lasted for a long time.

Zhang Zhiwei reached out and touched the crooked tree.

The tree seemed to have a spirit, its leaves gathered, pressed against his palm, and swayed gently.

Zhang Zhiwei felt an extremely subtle emotion, with a sense of dependence in his joy.

"Are you going to get Qi?"

"Is it because of the incense on the top of Tianmen Mountain, or because I have practiced here for many years and have been nourished by my Qi, or because of the baptism of heavenly thunder and the nourishment of the sun essence..."

Zhang Zhiwei was slightly surprised. He had come here and there, and there were many plants and trees nourished by the sun essence.

"Maybe it is a mixture of many reasons. No matter what, you and I are destined to be together. In the next period of time, I will take you to absorb the essence of heaven and earth for a period of time, and then you will rely on yourself."

Zhang Zhiwei stroked the leaves with his hand, then pulled his hand out and turned to go down the top of Tianmen Mountain.

Perhaps because his body absorbed the Qi of the Three Talents, he gave people a sense of emptiness and clarity like a god or Buddha, his body glowed, and he had a peaceful breath.

He walked down the mountain, stepping on the void. With every step he took, a cloud bloomed like a lotus under his feet.

On the mountaintop behind him, the crooked tree twisted its branches and shook vigorously towards his back, as if waving goodbye to him.
