Chapter 498: The Evil Way of Seeing the True Self

"Don't use Qi, just use your own physical strength. When you are too tired to do it, come back."

Zhuge Qing's expression instantly became serious and he nodded.

This confused Wang Ye, "What are you guys...going to do?"

Zhuge Qing said nothing, but looked at Wang Ye meaningfully, "Master Wang Ye, please take me to visit Longhu Mountain."

night.

Murong Ji greeted Yunlong. Taoism has strict precepts and prohibits excessive drinking. Although he was not drinking on someone else's territory, he still had to say hello.

After ordering a few side dishes and warming up some drinks, they waited for Zhuge Qing to come back.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhuge Qing walked into the yard, sweating all over, "Brother Murong, is this level okay?"

Murong Ji nodded, "Come and sit down."

After sitting down with Wang Ye, Murong Ji poured a glass of wine for Zhuge Qing, but he and Wang Ye poured water.

"This is..." Zhuge Qing was confused. Why did he drink it by himself?

"I told you before that the method I'm teaching you is the method of the Pure Bright Dao, but it's not the method they use to get started. I don't have the nerve to get their method, so I can only think of some crooked tricks."

"It's not too late for you to regret it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Qing probably understood what Murong Ji meant. He looked at Wang Ye, and seeing his excited expression, his heart was blocked and his face instantly turned dark.

"Old Qing, if you mind I can leave." Wang Ye glanced at Murong Ji and then said, "I'm leaving."

But his butt seemed to be glued to the bench. "I'm leaving! I'm really leaving!"

Zhuge Qing: "..."

Why don’t you go away!

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, she sighed and waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, stay."

"Well, not bad, Lao Qing is very generous!" As he said that, Wang also moved the bench forward, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth.

"Okay, Zhuge Qing, are you sure you have made your choice?" Murong Ji asked again, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Qing's pupils, as if he could see directly into his heart.

"Well, I've decided."

Murong Ji nodded and said no more. He said directly: "These are the basics of some Taoist meditations. Each sect has its own description."

"As the founder of Wudang Mountain, Sanfeng, said: If you don't study hard, practice diligently, have a clear mind, and have a true spirit, you will never succeed if you follow this path to Taoism."

"Lü Zu said: The great way teaches people to stop thinking first. If the thoughts do not stop, it is useless."

"An ancient immortal said: To regulate your breath, you must regulate your true breath; to refine your spirit, you must refine your non-spiritual spirit."

"They all talk about the method of 'recognizing the nature of the spirit's temperament and revealing the nature of the original spirit's destiny.' There are also theories about true gods and non-gods, heavenly heart, Tao heart, true heart, etc."

"If a practitioner responds to things without being confused, then his primordial spirit will return by itself and his original nature will settle down. When his nature settles down, the body's innate energy will return by itself, and life will return to its roots. How difficult is that? The secret is: Return the light and reflect on it, keep it in your heart, and no inner thoughts will come out, and no outer thoughts will come in."

"What I want to teach you is the method of the Pure Bright Dao, which can be classified as a high-grade alchemy method for refining the spirit. The effect is good, but the disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to get started! I couldn't find a method to get started with the Pure Bright Dao, so I came up with this idea."

As they were talking, Murong Ji had already made Zhuge Qing drink several glasses of wine.

"There's an old saying that goes, your drinking habits reflect your character. There are people who have sex after drinking, but there's no one who transfers money randomly... Lao Qing, don't pretend to be a decent person..."

"Get out of the way!" Zhuge Qing took a few bites of the food, and then drank another sip of wine.

Murong Ji smiled, took out the recorder, opened it, and placed it in front of Zhuge Qing. Then, he began to ask questions one after another.

At the beginning, Murong Ji just kept making small talk and didn't want Zhuge Qing to stop, either to eat, drink, or answer questions.

As time went by, Murong Ji was the one asking questions and finding topics to talk about, from religion to spiritual practice, from family to marriage, from system to morality, from politics to military affairs, from morality to law...

It was late at night and Zhuge Qing could hardly speak clearly. He drank a few more glasses of wine and fell into the plate with a "clang".

Murong Ji turned off the recorder and put it into Zhuge Qing's pocket, then signaled Wang Ye to move Zhuge Qing away.

Wang Ye smiled bitterly, "Brother Murong, is this method...really useful?"

"I don't know. We have only just begun to use our methods. Now we just need to make him understand his true nature. It will take at least half a month to see any effect."

Wang Ye sighed, "It seems that I can't see anymore. I will go down the mountain tomorrow."

"Ah."

Wang Ye carried Zhuge Qing and helped him to the trash can, letting him vomit. Then he poured some water to clean him and threw him on the bed. The next morning, when Murong Ji was doing morning lessons, Zhuge Qing came to him. As soon as he entered the yard, he didn't know what to say.

"Brother Murong, I wasn't drunk last night, was I?"

"No, go exercise, rest today, and continue tomorrow." Murong Ji finished the exercise, and Zhuge Qing's back suddenly said, "Wang Ye has gone down the mountain."

Zhuge Qing paused and was silent for a moment, as if he was relieved, "I understand."

Murong Ji could understand Zhuge Qing's concerns. Who would be willing to show themselves completely to others?
No one wants to.

When the secret is completely exposed, the complex and tangled expressions of fear, terror, worry about how others will look at him, etc. are not pleasant, and the person being tortured feels uncomfortable.

During dinner in the evening, Zhuge Qing came over again. This time they didn't drink, but just had a simple chat.

"Brother Murong, is my method really from the Pure Bright Dao? Why does it feel a bit evil?"

Murong Ji glanced at him unhappily, "I haven't taught you the real method yet. Before that, you have to reach the state of harmony between heaven and man."

"It is very difficult for an adult to reach this level. There are only two ways. One is to intoxicate the mind and release the soul. The other is to rely on self-cultivation. Do you think you can do the second way?"

At this point, Murong Ji was suddenly stunned. In fact, there is another way, which is illegal. It is to use drugs to make the mind intoxicated. This method is also the most harmful to the body.

"Heaven and man are in harmony. Heaven is so idle? Who are you? I am here to communicate with you? Actually, I am here to communicate with your soul."

"The Yuanshen has its own world, no inside and no outside, and is a universe of its own. It has everything and can do anything. But it is difficult for people to feel the existence of the Yuanshen, let alone use it. Because of this, it is often controlled by the Consciousness Spirit."

"Only when the consciousness is suppressed will the soul be forced to take over the body, such as when one drinks alcohol to the point of amnesia. (Don't follow me, it's made up. It's just a coincidence that you met the same practice!! Don't look for me.)"

From what Murong Ji learned, almost all of the sexual exercises require the release of the primordial spirit at the beginning of practice. Some schools call it the self, the true self, or the self-nature. No matter what it is called, the principle is the same.

Only by cultivating the true self alone can the spiritual practice become meaningful and gradually grow, improve and become stronger.

Just like a baby in the womb for ten months, slowly growing into a naughty child. Then absorbing my consciousness...

In Murong Ji's opinion, the primordial spirit is his innate Qi. The primordial spirit awakened by Zhuge Qing cannot actually be called the original spirit. It is just the gathering of essence, energy and spirit and returning it to its most fundamental form.

The fruit of the Tao after refining one's spirituality is called the primordial spirit.

On the third day, Wudang Mountain reported the death of Mr. Lu.

After fifteen days in a row, when Zhuge Qing drank for the eighth time, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and suddenly became sober. Apart from the smell of alcohol, he was no longer drunk.

Instead, he looked a little silly, as if he was really drunk. Facing the world, he was a little curious, looking around like a fool.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and stood up, "Well, not bad, it succeeded. Next, I will teach you how to plant the devil!"

Zhuge Qing in this state seemed like a naughty child. It was difficult for Murong Ji to teach him because he was disobedient. You could only guide him little by little.

Seeing Zhuge Qing enter into a state of meditation and start practicing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The heart has neither good nor bad intentions, but it has good and evil intentions." Wang Yangming's "heart" is another name for the innate Qi.

Qi itself has no good or evil. What has good or evil is when the innate Qi moves, transforming the limbs and bones, the universe, cognition, and the mind...

[This is also a place that is easy to be tampered with by others...] At the beginning of the intention, the intention and consciousness have just been formed. If someone injects some kind of "innate mission" into it, it will be too easy...

Murong Ji slowly raised his head and looked at the endless night sky. He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

Murong Jizhou watched Zhuge Qing's innate Qi slowly circulate. Every time it circulated, it would absorb a little of his acquired Qi...

The method of returning to the original state of Jingming Dao is indeed good, but it has been modified by himself. The effect remains to be seen whether it can absorb Zhuge Qing's inner demons and leave behind his conscious spirit.

After making sure everything was alright, Murong Ji started to clean up the table. In the middle of the night...

In the next few days, there was no need to drink anymore. As long as Zhuge Qing calmed down, he would naturally be able to sense the existence of the innate Qi. Although this practice could not improve combat power, it was the foundation of practice.

Of course, practicing in this state is also very dangerous and requires someone to supervise.

Murong Ji glanced at Zhuge Qing, turned around and fixed his gaze on the formation diagram of Fenghou Qimen. This thing... was really good, although he didn't understand Qimen Dunjia.

But he was proficient in the Book of Changes and astrology. After a little thought, he realized that this technique was not impossible to practice, it just required gradual progress.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Qing. The Zhuge family's unique magic was probably divided into layers, so there were the semi-finished products of Zhuge Meng and others.

Murong Ji thought about it for a while and directly divided Fenghou Qimen into three levels: heaven, earth, and man. It would be easier to start with the man level.

When entering the Heavenly Bureau from the Earthly Bureau, a Heart-Setting Gate is set up, and after passing it, you can obtain the Heavenly Bureau...
