Chapter 60: Tian Yan Jue
Mo Hua read the description of the technique again. There were only a few sentences on it, saying that this technique was not limited to the level and attributes of spiritual roots. The number of days of spiritual power that could be cultivated was low. The bottleneck was spiritual consciousness. It was not suitable for non-formation masters to practice.
Although it didn't indicate which spiritual objects were needed, there was something strange about these descriptions.
How come there are techniques that are not limited to spiritual roots?
It is understandable that the refined spiritual power is low. After all, it is not limited to spiritual roots, which means that low-level ones can also be cultivated, and the spiritual power produced will naturally not be deep.
But what does it mean that the bottleneck is in spiritual consciousness? And why is it not suitable for non-formation masters to practice?
…
Mo Hua frowned and thought. After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes and said, "Have you chosen?"
Only then did Mo Hua come back to his senses, "Disciple has made his choice, I just don't know which one is more suitable."
"Bring it to me and see."
Mo Hua respectfully handed the selected exercises to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang looked at them one by one. His expression was calm, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
The techniques chosen by Mo Hua were all chosen by the puppet master. Among the ones he chose, Mo Hua did not choose any of them. This made Mr. Zhuang feel very embarrassed.
It wasn't until he turned to the last jade slip that Mr. Zhuang's eyes lit up.
On the ancient pale jade slip, there are three words "Tian Yan Jue" engraved on it.
This is one of the "distinctive" exercises chosen by Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang was very satisfied and felt that Mo Hua had good eyesight and could be taught.
Seeing that Mr. Zhuang's eyes were on "Tian Yan Jue", Mo Hua asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Sir, the "Tian Yan Jue" cultivation key does not mention the required spiritual objects. Does it not require any heavenly materials and earthly treasures to practice?"
"Not bad." Mr. Zhuang nodded.
Mo Hua was overjoyed, but calmed down in the blink of an eye, "Drinking and pecking in the practice of the Great Dao, you will get what you pay for, and you can practice without the need of heaven and earth spiritual objects. Does this mean that there will be other troubles in practicing this technique? "
Mr. Zhuang's eyes showed approval, and then he said slowly:
"This is an ancient skill."
"Ancient Kung Fu?" Mo Hua wondered, "Are there any differences between the ancient Kung Fu?"
"There are differences, but there is no difference. The exercises practiced by the ancients are exercises, and the exercises practiced by people today are also exercises. They are all methods of seeking immortality and seeking the Tao. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages and cannot be generalized..."
"Some ancient exercises have been improved by generations of monks, and have gradually become stable and have fewer bottlenecks. When practiced, they can get twice the result with half the effort, and they have naturally become the main exercises in the monastic world today; some ancient exercises are remote and weird, difficult to practice, and have great effects after they are completed. It's worthless and gradually abandoned..."
"Some techniques are cruel and evil, and can easily cause people to lose their minds and turn into demon cultivators, so they will be banned by the Taoist court; there are also some techniques that can reverse the fate of the gods, and the conditions for practice are extremely harsh, and they are competed by the major monks, or they are damaged. , or lost, and in the end it can only remain in the legends passed down orally by the monks..."
"Are all the ancient skills not limited to spiritual roots?" Mo Hua asked.
"That's not necessarily the case. Most techniques limit the attributes of spiritual roots. A few techniques do not limit the level of spiritual roots. They can be practiced from upper to upper grades and from lower to lower grades, but they are only a minority."
"The cultivation of spiritual roots and Gongfa was promoted by the big families and sects after the unification of the Taoist court, and was implemented in the nine states of the cultivation world. On the one hand, it was to standardize the many and complicated Kung Fu in the cultivation world and facilitate the practice of the monks. On the other hand, it was on the one hand……"
In fact, it is for the monopoly of inheritance of martial arts...
Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say any more. He just said, "You will understand in the future."
"Oh," Mo Hua nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Sir, what kind of ancient skill is this "Tian Yan Jue"?"
"It should fall into the category of remote and weird."
Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and then said: "Some people have learned this technique before. It is easy to learn. You only need to refine the spirit stone, but the bottleneck when breaking through is very weird. The bottlenecks of other techniques are, Generally, it is in the meridians or the sea of qi that one needs to refine the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to break through. However, the bottleneck of this technique is in the sea of consciousness, which is unpredictable and elusive, and there are very few auxiliary spiritual objects. Whether there will be a breakthrough is unknown.”
"No matter how rare a spiritual object is, there is always a way to obtain it. It's just a matter of the price. But when it comes to the problem of the sea of consciousness, it's difficult. Sometimes it's even impossible to start. In addition, the spiritual power cultivated by this technique is low. There are no other effects, so gradually no one practices it.”
Mo Hua listened silently, and then asked the last question:
"Then what does it mean when it says on the technique that 'non-formation masters should not practice'? Do you have to be an formation master to practice this technique?"
"No," Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "It's not that you can practice this technique only by becoming an array master, but among all the cultivation professions, only the array master consumes the most spiritual consciousness, and is higher than other monks in the use and understanding of the sea of consciousness. The bottleneck of "Tian Yan Jue" is spiritual consciousness, which is naturally most suitable for formation masters to practice. In other words, if formation masters don't practice, then other types of monks will not be able to practice. "
"I see……"
Mo Hua thought about it in his mind and then made up his mind.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang asked: "Have you decided which method to practice?"
"I've thought about it," Mo Hua nodded, "Sir, I want to practice the "Tian Yan Jue"."
Mr. Zhuang felt a little relieved. He felt that Mo Hua, a kid like him, was really close to him. He was not like the old man who had such vulgar taste in choosing martial arts.
Mr. Zhuang wanted to hand the jade slip of "Tian Yan Jue" to Mo Hua, but suddenly hesitated a little. After a moment, he sighed and asked in a solemn tone:
"Mo Hua, have you really thought about it?"
Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang with a little doubt.
"This technique is simple to practice, but there are too many variables to break through, and the spiritual power is not strong. Whether it is practice or fighting, it is always inferior."
Although somewhat reluctant, Mr. Zhuang still pointed to the techniques that Mo Hua "picked up" and said:
"Although these techniques are not unique, they are stable and practical, and the spiritual power that can be cultivated is not small. Some spiritual objects, even if they are a bit troublesome, are not expensive, and there is always a way to get them."
Mo Hua said firmly: "The disciple has thought it over. Mo Hua's spiritual roots are mediocre, and it is not easy to compare with others. I just hope that I can make some progress in the formation. I have failed to live up to the master's teachings. Since I want to become a formation master, spiritual consciousness is naturally the most important, and the amount of spiritual power is nothing. "
"The bottleneck of the formation master is spiritual consciousness, and the bottleneck of "Tian Yan Jue" is also spiritual consciousness. For disciples, it is actually the same. As long as you concentrate on studying the formation and enhancing spiritual consciousness, it will be fine. Cultivating Taoism is not an easy road. Success depends on heaven, and effort depends on man."
Mr. Zhuang was slightly stunned, and nodded: "You are right. It is rare that you are so young and your Tao heart is so tenacious."
Mo Hua is not worthy of such praise, and said a little embarrassedly: "My disciple is not actually tenacious in Taoism..."
Mr. Zhuang was slightly stunned.
"It is mainly because other exercises cannot be practiced by disciples. This exercise does not require spiritual objects, so I can only choose it..."
Mr. Zhuang: "..."
Mo Hua was also helpless.
The problem of spiritual consciousness can always be solved, but those "few spiritual objects" are worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Mo Hua, who was born as a casual cultivator, really has no way.
When a person is poor, his Tao heart will naturally be tenacious. If he is not tenacious, he will not be able to do it.
