Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul

Chapter 122 Guidance

After putting down his pen, Li Chang'an noticed a bunch of message notifications on his phone's QQ app. When he opened them, he saw that they were all from Lu Linglong.

"Brother Chang'an, you should check out the forums! You're super popular lately!"

"Brother Chang'an, you really defeated so many Quanxing demons all by yourself! That's amazing! Are you injured anywhere?"

Please tell me the details.

"Brother Chang'an, someone is spreading rumors about you on the forum, it's infuriating!"

Because Li Chang'an hadn't replied, there was a series of angry bomb emojis and GIFs of him hitting someone's head with a hammer.

"I was just practicing!"

Li Chang'an replied to the message.

"I knew it would be like this!"

Lu Linglong replied almost instantly.

Li Chang'an: "The process was nothing special. We just encountered an ambush by Quanxing. We fought back and took them down. My cousin also contributed a lot, the company's temporary workers also lent a hand, and my great-grandfather gave us some countermeasures in advance. In short, it wasn't as mysterious as people outside made it out to be."

Lu Linglong sent an eye-rolling emoji: "Wow, you explained it so hastily. I already called my cousin to ask. He said he lost his composure at the time and not only didn't help you much, but actually held you back. He feels really guilty now."

Li Chang'an: "It's not his fault; there's someone among the demons who can counter him."

Lu Linglong: "Your statement is clearly not convincing. You all cultivate the same methods, so why doesn't that demon harm you?"

""

Li Chang'an: "Because my cultivation level is higher than his. Should I go over and comfort him?"

Lu Linglong sent a GIF of her waving her hand in refusal: "No way, if you go to comfort me now, that would be like killing someone's spirit."

Li Chang'an: "————————"

Lu Linglong: "I've already comforted him. He said he still wants to ask you for advice on how to improve his sexual skills."

Li Chang'an: "Actually, there's not much to say. He's already done a very good job."

As they were talking, a knock came at the door.

Li Chang'an: "Speak of the devil, and he appears. We'll talk later."

He closed his phone, got up and opened the door. Sure enough, Lu Lin was standing outside, along with Lu Jin.

"Chang'an, this kid is getting a bit stubborn. You should talk to him for your grandfather," Lu Jin said.

"What's wrong?" Li Chang'an asked Lu Lin.

"Senior Brother Chang'an," Lu Lin's voice was a little hoarse, "We've been back for a while now. During that time, my great-grandfather, father, and I have repeatedly reviewed what happened back then, but no matter how we reviewed it, I couldn't find a way to break the deadlock entirely on my own."

"In that situation, if you hadn't been there, I would have certainly died. Ultimately, it's because my foundation in sexual cultivation is too weak. I've come here today to earnestly seek your guidance on the secrets of sexual cultivation."

"Actually, after losing to my senior brother in the last competition, I analyzed every day which thoughts were completely my own and which thoughts were bodily delusions, and then I overcame them one by one."

"I discovered that I can overcome my body's desires, such as not wanting to get out of bed, not wanting to practice meditation, and not wanting to undergo high-voltage physical training, and persevere."

"But I cannot overcome external delusions, just like the soul-summoning of that Quanxing sorcerer."

After listening to what Lu Lin said, Li Chang'an said, "You're too hasty. These things can't be rushed. You have to take it one step at a time. Actually, in my opinion, you've already done a very good job."

"What you need to do now is to gradually understand your own mind and nature through the previous methods of practice, and understand what self-thought is. Only after you understand it can you strengthen it."

"If I understand that, how do I grow stronger?" Lu Lin asked humbly.

Li Chang'an said, "External thinking can be strengthened through certain stimuli. For example, if you like to eat sugar and keep eating sugar, your sugar craving threshold will increase. The same applies to id thinking. Simply put, it's about doing what you genuinely enjoy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin exclaimed in surprise, "Doing what you truly love, is it that simple, that—"

He wanted to say happiness, but felt that describing happiness in the context of spiritual practice was too frivolous.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of!" Li Chang'an said. "Cultivation itself is a joyful thing. If you genuinely enjoy killing, then go ahead and kill."

"Huh?" Lu Lin was taken aback.

Lu Jin glanced at Li Chang'an. These words were indeed rather inappropriate and could easily lead people astray.

Li Chang'an continued, "You've read 'Water Margin,' right? You know Lu Zhishen, right?"

Lu Lin nodded and said, "I know, Lu Zhishen, the one who beat up Zhen Guanxi. I've studied that text in class, and I still remember the plot—he beat up a dye shop with just three punches!"

Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Do you know that Lu Zhishen eventually attained the Arhatship?"

His verse is: "All my life I have not cultivated good deeds, but only loved killing and arson. Suddenly I am freed from the golden shackles and the jade lock is torn off. The tide of the Qiantang River comes, and today I know who I am."

"Lu Zhishen, who did not cultivate good karma and killed and set fires all the way, eventually became an Arhat, and that is the reason why."

"True nature is true Buddha-nature. Do what your heart truly loves, even if it involves murder or arson, it is still meditation, it is practicing Buddhism."

These words truly surprised Lu Lin. He stared blankly at Li Chang'an, never having imagined that cultivation could be explained from this perspective.

Li Chang'an continued, "Similarly, if you genuinely like a woman, then loving that woman well is the essence of Zen meditation."

"If you enjoy that kind of thing between your legs, then go do it. That's also a form of meditation; it's called joyful meditation."

"Do what you love from the bottom of your heart without any ulterior motives, and strengthen your true self. This is self-cultivation."

"It's actually very simple, isn't it? Doesn't it suddenly make your cultivation journey seem more promising?"

Li Chang'an concluded with a smile.

Lu Lin nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "Hearing what you say, Senior Brother, it does seem very promising. But to put it simply, it's easy to say, but difficult to do—"

The word "simple" was hard to say, because after thinking about it, Lu Lin really didn't know what he truly enjoyed doing.

At this time.

Lu Jin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"The greatest truths are the simplest, but they are easy to know and difficult to do. They are easy to say but hard to do."

He understands this very well.

His greatest enemy in this life was Wugensheng.

Therefore, he investigated many of Wugensheng's deeds.

Among them are the actions of Wugensheng in the whole nature.

The thing Wugensheng did most in Quanxing was to help the Quanxing demons find what they truly loved.

As far as he knew, before breaking into the Sanyi Gate, Wugensheng had helped the mysterious hermit Wu Man, the white owl Liang Ting, and even a sorcerer surnamed Cao.

That wicked man surnamed Cao has done many evil deeds in the past.

But under Wugensheng's guidance, he discovered that he didn't actually enjoy killing and dissecting corpses; he enjoyed doing research.

Later, he turned himself in and served more than ten years in prison. After his release, he became a researcher and produced a number of scientific research results.

He died not long ago, and people from all walks of life attended his memorial service.

Lu Jin also went there, and as a result, he saw Wugensheng's shrine at the man's house, and he exclaimed that it was bad luck.

Previously, Lu Jin didn't understand what Wu Gensheng was after in doing this.

It's said to be about guiding people to do good.

Some people who were converted by him still committed many evils.

In retrospect, he was indeed trying to convert people.

It's not about guiding people to goodness, but about helping them find something they genuinely love.

If a person's nature is evil, and they genuinely enjoy doing evil, then they are creating a demon.

Followed by.

Lu Jin thought of herself.

What about yourself?

What is it that you genuinely love?

Lu Jin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, but he found that his mind was filled with one line of words.

Kill Wugensheng, kill Wugensheng, kill Wugensheng —

Is this something I genuinely enjoy?

No, that's not it.

This is the person I hate the most.

Lu Jin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a deep sorrow. He understood that his delusions were very deep, almost turning into inner demons.

Previously, he had deliberately avoided this matter.

But now that he has reopened Sany and taken on apprentices, his future looks brighter. Shouldn't he try to find a way to deal with this?
