589. The book and the painting, the water writes the mountain
Seeing Cheng Tianle looking around curiously, Lu Shi introduced: "The mountain road west of Fazhu Peak has thirty-six bends, and pavilions and houses are also distributed thirty-six floors, symbolizing the thirty-six caves and alchemy stages. However, the place where the disciples live does not live on a specific floor according to their level of cultivation. Basically, a certain courtyard is selected based on the inheritance of the master and apprentice. Some places are places where the daily practices and retreats are practiced."
While speaking, the mountain road had turned eighteen turns, and we walked towards an extended fork here. The sound of water came from the front. Lu Shi introduced again: "There is the wall of the inscription in front of me, which is where my master cultivates his energy. In my early years, my master asked me to practice calligraphy here for ten years, and almost all the famous prints that could be collected in the world. My master only achieved great success in his cultivation here after he was over 20 years old."
Cheng Tianle just asked Shi Tianyi when the master Zeming, Lu Shi, would be successful. Unexpectedly, Lu Shi introduced his master's practice at this moment. According to Lu Shi just now, Zeming should have been called to the heart of the subject by He Guang at the age of 35 and threw it to him by famous masters of all generations. He practiced calligraphy for ten years before breaking through the realm of the great success of the golden elixir.
Turning over a protruding rock in the dense forest, I suddenly realized the moment of my eyes. On the cliff at a high place, there was a spring flowing down the stone wall, and a pool of three feet in a radius was accumulated in the gentleness of the mountain. The water depth was about two feet clear. There was also a naturally formed stone wall beside the spring, with a cloud-like pattern on the surface, like a freehand painting.
There was a tall Taoist with a gray hairpin holding a large pen that was two feet long and was writing on the stone wall. He was the real man of Heguang. The pen in Heguang's hand was a long bamboo pole, with the surface being rubbed as crystal clear as jade, and there was no real brush at the end. The brush was condensed by water, and the end of the bamboo pole formed a tangible brush tip.
Heguang Zhenren is writing. It is the 52nd chapter of "Laozi": "The world has its beginning, and I think it is the mother of the world. Once I have my mother, I know my son. Once I know my son, I keep my mother..."
Cheng Tianle practiced not the great way of Jindan, and he was not sure that this section was the so-called "Guiyuan Jue" in the alchemy, which echoed the "Xuantong Jue" in the 56th chapter of the Tao Te Ching. However, he also read the Tao Te Ching and read the passage written by He Guang Zhenren, which was a wonderful way to control the gods, and was also making divine thoughts that were difficult to explain.
He Guang Zhenren comprehended the mystery of the scriptures and demonstrated them to the onlookers in this way. This is an incredible supernatural realm and supernatural means. There is no ink on the pen, and the words are written with water. The water traces do not dry or flow, and they condense on the stone wall in this way. There is only a scoop of clear water at the end of the pen, which is constantly left on the stone wall but not seen. Cheng Tianle could sense that this senior used the tip of the pen as a guide and constantly gathered the clear water in the pool with mysterious supernatural powers at the end of the pen.
Cheng Tianle couldn't help but remember the Shenxiao Tianle Thunder Technique that Hefeng used when he fell thunder gold. Writing a calligraphy like Heguang not only requires great supernatural powers, but also requires no effort to operate. Although the characters are written in strokes, the spirit and charm are connected as a whole. No matter whether there is any situation such as magic power not being continued, concentration is difficult to maintain, stagnant energy and charm or scattered artistic conception, the water marks on the stone wall will flow down, and the writing cannot be completed.
Heguang's calligraphy is excellent, and his body and spirit are wonderful even to the point where there is no need to praise him. Cheng Tianle felt a little ashamed, just the day before yesterday. Zhang Rongdao praised his writing for his beautiful writing, but compared with the stone wall inscribed by Heguang Zhenren, it was like a starling who met Bi Fang. Chinese ink and wash have always emphasized the same origin of calligraphy and painting. Heguang's calligraphy itself is a landscape painting, and he wrote it on the mountain with water.
When the entire Guiyuan Jue was finished, the senior finally finished his writing and turned around and smiled, "Cheng Zong, I have been relied on for a long time!" The handwriting behind him turned into fog at this time. It drifted halfway up the mountain like a light cloud coming out of the mountain.
Cheng Tianle quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Senior, you are highly respected, I dare not take this word for "reverence for a long time."
He Guang put the bamboo pole in his hand and put it on his back, then walked closer and said, "I have often heard of your name in recent years, but you are unlikely to hear my name often, right? So of course I have been relying on you for a long time. I heard that you are coming to Zhengyi Sanshan. I am very interested and want to see who you are, so I asked Lu Shi to move here."
Cheng Tianle: "I have also heard of the names of my seniors. I visited the Qingcheng Sword Sect at the beginning of the year. I heard that you and two other seniors from the Zhengyi Sect teamed up to launch the Qingcheng Sword Immortal Array in the Thousand Pillar Dojo to recreate the Miracle of Thousand Years."
Kazuo smiled: "It's true that this is true. It's rare to go out of the mountain in recent years, so I'll let you hear about it."
Cheng Tianle: "Senior, please come, what advice do you have?"
He Guang said straight to the point: "Actually, I just want to ask you how you wrote the calligraphy just now?"
Is this still necessary to ask? Of course it is excellent. If a stupid person doesn't know how to praise him! But Senior He Guang obviously did not mean this. He was asking how to write such calligraphy? This is also a way to nourish qi, and it is also a cultivation of magic power in the realm. So can disciples of different cultivation levels practice this? The accompanying divine thoughts in the words ask Cheng Tianle this way.
Of course, ordinary disciples could not do it, even Cheng Tianle could not do it. However, Cheng Tianle answered honestly: "If a disciple who is just starting out can't learn such calligraphy from his predecessors. After the elixir has mastered the way to control things, it can be written with an ordinary brush dipped in water, but it can only be written in a continuous stroke, and the requirements for spiritual consciousness and magic power are extremely high. The water in the brush must be controlled extremely exquisitely before it can be written into a complete article.
If you want to write one word at a time, you must use the magic to condense the water meaning. In fact, what you practice is to control the form. But to be fully written, the power of the soul must be very powerful. The words are not only written on the stone wall, but the water meaning must also be condensed into the soul. For younger disciples who have insufficient cultivation, they may not be writing, but are trying to expand the soul and not mess up the strokes, and fix the water traces to complete it.
If you practice the way to control the spirit after the great success, you can pursue vivid aura and charm, gradually display the calligraphy style, immerse yourself in it, and gradually understand the mysterious and wonderful meaning of the scriptures you wrote, so that the state of selflessness can enter the door of vacuum. For disciples who have broken the vacuum, write mountains with water, and the tip of the pen is already the spiritual breath of heaven and earth..."
He Guang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "It's not bad, it's not bad, different states have different calligraphy, corresponding to different practices and the realms that Cheng Zong has confirmed, and they all have a very thorough understanding. This is very important for the founding masters, and its significance is not only how high your cultivation is. If this is the case, I was not as good as you back then!"
How should He Guang asks Cheng Tianle write this calligraphy? Cheng Tianle answered the characteristics of practicing in various realms. In fact, he himself has not practiced it like this. As He Guang said, this insight is very important for a founding elder like Cheng Tianle, because it is not only because of how high his cultivation is, but also guiding various demon cultivators, which is different from practicing alone.
Cheng Tianle hurriedly replied, "Senior, why did you say this? I dare not compare myself with you! I am far from understanding the artistic conception of your calligraphy just now."
He Guang smiled and said, "That's because your cultivation level has not reached, but you have a very clear understanding of the realm you have already cultivated. You know how to enlighten the disciples and descendants. Let me ask you another question, if you are a demon cultivator who has not passed the "Wind Evil Tribulation", what will happen if I will write down the "Reminiscence Rule" just now?"
Cheng Tianle replied, "I can't even see it. If I force myself to see it, he will faint." As he said that, he took two steps back and reached out to pat Jiang Zhang on the shoulder.
Jiang Zhang kept standing honestly, and suddenly felt aroused, as if he was awakened from his sleep. He was embarrassed and surprised: "I seemed to faint just now, but why didn't I fall down?"
Cheng Tianle explained: "You fainted, but Senior Heguang has been supporting you with magic power from the air, fixing your figure."
He Guang suddenly asked Jiang Zhang again, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are a disciple of Cheng Zong. Follow Cheng Zong and you must enter Zhengyi Sanshan. I also want to ask you a question. If you can choose a master, between me and Cheng Zong, who do you think you are better to join?"
Jiang Zhang was so scared that he was a little afraid to speak, and replied tremblingly: "I will never dare to imagine such a thing. It is a great blessing in any case! And I was able to join the Wanbian Sect, which was also a method of fate given by Zhenshi Zhenren."
He Guang smiled again: "I asked this. Don't be afraid. In fact, I can't accept you as a disciple. I just want to hear your opinion. Who is the teacher you worship is more beneficial to your practice?"
Jiang Zhang blinked his eyes for a long time before he carefully bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me for saying it bluntly, I think it's Cheng Zheng."
This answer is very interesting. Cheng Tianle is indeed very capable now and has broken through the realm of vacuum, but it is still far from comparable to He Guang Zhenren. But Jiang Zhang is very tactful and knows that he is Cheng Tianle's disciple now. If he answers another answer, it will be inappropriate in any case. As for whom he is more beneficial to his practice, Jiang Zhang actually didn't know what happened to He Guang Zhenren, so how can he compare it?
He Guang asked, "Oh, why?" The implication seemed to remind you that since you answered like this, then just say the words and find a reason for this answer.
Jiang Zhang thought this way and then spoke: "The Cheng Zong is called the Demon Sect, and I am the Demon Cultivator. It is the best blessing for me to worship the Wanbian Sect and receive the magic tricks specifically to guide the Demon Cultivator. The senior is a peerless master. It would be of course great luck to be able to guide me. But before today, I knew nothing about you, so how could I answer other answers? Besides, I have become a disciple of Cheng Zong Sect, so why should you ask me like this?"
He Guang laughed and said, "You are a cautious person. For unknown things, you choose a known answer. But your answer is completely correct. It is indeed more appropriate to be a master of Cheng Zong in your situation than to me. If you talk about guiding your practice, I really cannot do better than Cheng Zong."
Cheng Tianle quickly said, "Senior is too modest! With your realm, you can already have a high perspective. Even if you guide the demon cultivator, your guidance methods are much more magical than those of the younger generation."
He Guang sighed slightly: "High-mindedness? This is a good thing. After climbing to the top of the mountain, I can indeed see the various ways of coming from the mountain. But I didn't have this state and was not good at guiding the descendants. I have been practicing in the mountains all year round. Although I have good cultivation, I have not fully understood how to guide the descendants. My great disciple, Zeming, the master of Lu Shi, practices calligraphy in this way. Mr. Cheng had already explained his problems back then very clearly, although you have not seen that scene."
He Guang sent a divine thought to introduce his disciple Zeming's practice experience many years ago
He Guang is different from his senior brother He Feng and his junior brother He Xi. He is indifferent or a little introverted. He practices in the mountains all year round and rarely walks around the world. Under the guidance of the master and the true person, he has been diligent in his cultivation and rapid spirit and has a superb magical realm. His eldest disciple Zeming, from the beginning, has been taught in front of the wall of the heart. Of course, the methods of teaching disciples are different. He Guang Zhenren uses the method he is best at.
After Zeming's elixir was completed, Hu Guang asked him to use ordinary pen tips to dip them in water to write various magic tricks on the stone wall. At the beginning, he could only write continuous strokes, and had extremely high control requirements for spiritual consciousness and magic power. This was also a tempering and training in practice. Zeming learned very quickly. When he broke through the demon realm and practiced the Nine Revolvings of the Golden Pill, which is the way to control the shape practiced by Cheng Tianle, he could break the strokes and write one word at a time.
Each word falls on the stone wall, and the water meaning condenses into the soul, and the requirements for the soul are very strong. If one article can be written in a complete way, it means that the nine turns of the golden elixir is perfect. He Guang Zhenren is still stable in his practice, but later a problem arises. After the way of controlling the form is perfect, Ze Ming has been unable to break the delusion and achievement.
Master cannot force his master to achieve success in his life, but Zeming has enough skills, but he always has some clues and cannot take that step. He Guang also wondered. He carefully analyzed where the problem lies and what kind of cleverness needs to be enlightened? After thinking about it, he understood the problem. The answer was so simple that Zeming's handwriting was not good-looking!
Whether calligraphy is good or not has nothing to do with whether one can achieve great success. Some demon cultivators who are illiterate at all have achieved great success, let alone how well the writing is written. However, Ze Ming is different. He practices in the way of writing magic tricks, and his magic power is strong, so he can use magical spiritual attacks when writing.
