Day in Infinity

"Then it seems that there is something wrong with our positioning of the gods."

Li Ke shook his head and didn't want to talk about it. To be honest, with his abilities in ancient times, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a god. He, Li Ke, even achieved immortality by sleeping with women.

But the problem is that he wants Taoist cultivation methods more than Western ones.

"Then, can I still cultivate immortality? I mean, can I practice other techniques?"

Li Ke looked at the monk hopefully.

But the abbot was even more confused. He didn't know what Li Ke was thinking. But when he thought of Li Ke's identity as a casual cultivator, he immediately understood and spoke directly.

"Aren't you on the path of cultivation? The purpose of the exercises is just to help people move energy, and aren't you doing that? In fact, you have already reached the level of transcendence, right?"

In his opinion, although Li Ke’s way of practice cannot be said to be authentic Xuanmen, it is also an orthodox method of practice.

Cultivate Qi and blood, strengthen the body, refine the spirit, and allow your spirit to transcend the body.

This way of practice is not orthodox.

What is?

Chapter 242: Feel with Heart

Li Ke didn't really believe it. Although in the eyes of the monks, his way of cultivation was more powerful than that of the abbot, Li Ke still didn't believe that there was no such thing as a way to cultivate immortals.

"Really not?"

After all, as a Celestial being, the desire to cultivate immortality is basically ingrained in our bones.

If you really can't become a god, being a Buddha is also possible!

The abbot felt helpless.

Because in his opinion, Li Ke's way of cultivation is the most orthodox among the orthodox ones, and he has changed his style according to his own situation, constantly seeking his own strength. There is nothing wrong with such a method of cultivation even in the Taiyi Xuanmen.

"Donor, if there really is a fixed method of cultivating immortality in this world, then wouldn't the world be full of immortals?"

The abbot spoke helplessly, but Li Ke still didn't want to give up.

Because the behavior of the person in front of him undoubtedly proved that there really are gods in this world. If there are gods, it means that one can cultivate to be immortal. If one can cultivate to be immortal, who the hell would still want to practice magic ninjutsu? !

Isn't it good to cultivate immortality? !

"But I've also heard that the classics in this world are different in everyone's eyes."

The abbot was completely speechless.

"Hey, benefactor, you are delusional. If I really have a method to cultivate immortality, do you think my cultivation level could be lower than yours?"

He looked at Li Ke. Although he understood Li Ke, he spread out his hands to express his helplessness.

"And what you said is indeed correct. The classics of the world are different in the eyes of everyone. There are people in the West who can attain enlightenment just by reading the Bible. But don't you think that the classics you have read are all describing a general outline? There are no two identical leaves between heaven and earth, and the worlds are completely different from each other. Things in one world are definitely different in another world, so only what suits you is the best. Donor, you use qi and blood to strengthen your body and develop your body's power. This is already the most orthodox method of cultivation. You are diligent and attentive, and you are devoted to the Tao. Your mind is pure, and you have not abandoned the near and sought the far, and have not fallen into the devil's way. You have surpassed 99% of the practitioners in this world."

The abbot clasped his hands together. There were many things he didn't want to say, but Li Ke was so eager to tell him, so he had to tell Li Ke.

After all, as an enlightened person, it is natural to tell the story in detail when you meet someone seeking knowledge.

My mind is pure and I am devoted to the Tao?

Li Ke's expression turned strange. If his mind was pure, there would be no pornography in this world.

If he is devoted to Taoism, then what about those who spend their entire lives practicing to become immortals?

But the abbot seemed to see through Li Ke's thoughts. He pushed open the window of his room. At this time, there were flying petals outside for some reason. He reached out and pinched a petal, then looked at Li Ke and smiled.

"What is the purpose of the donor's longevity?"

Li Ke answered this question without even thinking about it.

"Of course you have to do what you like, otherwise what's the point of living forever?"

"Does the donor like women to show off or for some other reason?"

"I just simply like it."

Li Ke scratched the back of his head. He felt strange because for a moment, he could not feel the abbot's breath.

A very strange feeling, as if this abbot...

everywhere?

His expression was a little strange. All Stephen Chow's movies were a little strange, with strong Buddhist ideas. Many times, the big boss did not sit there high up, but was beside the protagonist.

For example, in movies like Jigong where Stephen Chow has a great influence, and stories like Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, the big guys even become mortals…

Even in the story of this God of Cookery, Guanyin became the double-bladed turkey beside him, incarnating as Guanyin to enlighten him about what love is.

Could this abbot be some important figure?

"If you are not seeking immortality for power but for what you like and want to do, and you have no karma, how can you not say that your mind is pure?"

The abbot chuckled and then spoke.

"You like women, but not to show off, nor for other reasons. It's a natural love. You become stronger in pursuit of what you like. How can you say that this is not seeking the truth? Benefactor, although this is only the first time we meet, I can be sure that you are already on the right path."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Ke with a smile. A gust of wind blew, and countless flowers were blown behind him.

"So you are still obsessed with some kind of cultivation method, and you read the classics just to get some method of cultivating immortality from them. That would be very disappointing, and it would make the ancient sages who wrote those classics feel sad."

After saying this, he shook his head and sighed, clasping his hands together, as if he felt sad for this world.

"After all, those classics were not created for cultivation, but for the eternal peace and tranquility of this world. No matter which world it is, most people study the classics diligently, but never get the true thoughts and will of the classics in their entire lives. It really makes people sigh."

The more Li Ke listened, the more puzzled he felt. In addition, he could no longer sense the abbot's aura, so he could not help but ask.

"Abbot, you are not..."

The abbot was three meters away from him one moment, and the next moment, he was in front of him and put his index finger in front of Li Ke's mouth.

"Buddha said, don't say it."

Obviously, the other party was very close to him, but Li Ke looked at the smiling monk and still could not sense the other party's breath. Even though the other party was in front of him and he could see him very clearly, he just could not feel it, as if the other party was not in front of him.

But my guess is that if it's true...

Li Ke's eyelids twitched. If the person in front of him was really as he guessed, also a small account of Buddha, specially sent to enlighten people, then the meaning of his words just now was.

I don't want you to say it?

What is going on with these big guys...

While he was thinking about it, the abbot clasped his hands together again.

"If you really want to find some skills, you can look at the Sutra Library in the temple at will, but I think they are all useless to you. But I hope you can read more classics and understand the profound meanings in them. As for cooking, I think with your talent, it won't take too long to learn, and the monks in the temple will make it easy for you two."

After saying this, the abbot floated away.

Li Ke still had some doubts in his heart as he watched the abbot leave.

"…So, is this some kind of method to restrain his aura, or is he really a big shot?"

Shaking his head, Li Ke did not intend to delve into the matter any further. Whether the abbot was a real eminent monk or just as he had guessed, a small account of the Buddha who specialized in giving guidance, it had nothing to do with him.

Even if the other party has a cultivation method and doesn't give it to him, he doesn't care. After all, it's someone else's thing. It's normal for them to want to give it to him or not. He has no interest in forcing the other party to give it to him.

Moreover, when practicing and stealing things, aren't you really afraid that there may be flaws or unknown secret codes in them?

If you are not careful, you may die.

"Well, I can let Misato Katsuragi take a look at some martial arts secrets or something."

Li Ke immediately put aside the helplessness and unhappiness of not being able to obtain the secret manual of cultivating immortality. After all, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't get it, so why bother?

I took Misato Katsuragi, who was getting impatient waiting, to the Sutra Library to read.

However, just as he was leaving, the departing abbot chuckled.

"It's a pity that I have no chance to be with you."

After saying this, the abbot walked towards the bushes, intending to bring back a person who was obsessed with his ways, unable to face his own heart, whose heart was full of fame and fortune, but who had no love to express, and who did everything for empty fame.

After all, this matter is quite important.

Misato Katsuragi did not ask Li Ke what he had said to the abbot, because she was shocked the moment she entered the Sutra Repository.

"The magical power of indestructibility!"

Misato Katsuragi looked at the book on the cabinet and screamed in surprise, but the next moment, she saw another book.

"Yi Jin Jing? Xi Sui Jing?! And this is Chun Yang Wu Ji Gong? Isn't this from Wudang? Oh oh!! And this Hua Shan Hun Yuan Gong... Wait, is it really okay to just say Hua Shan?!"

Misato Katsuragi looked at the secret books on the bookshelf excitedly. She had already felt the energy and was now in an excited state, so when she saw these secret books of magical skills, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

Li Ke took out a copy of Shaolin Beiming Shengong, flipped it open and took a look at it speechlessly, then couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Because the first sentence is that there is a fish in the North Sea...

"Isn't this a Taoist magic skill?"

Li Ke was a little speechless. Although he had known for a long time that Stephen Chow’s movies often spoofed the fact that all martial arts originated from Shaolin, he still felt it was ridiculous after actually seeing it.

Yes, the fact that all martial arts originated from Shaolin is actually a compliment to Shaolin. Although the Shaolin Temple in every book of a certain author is not a good thing, many Buddhist martial arts are typical Taoist martial arts.

For example, the most classic Vajra Indestructible Divine Kung Fu is a typical Taoist Kung Fu, and Li Ke is very clear about this.

However, in China, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are mixed together, and there is even a Quanzhen Sect that combines the teachings of all three religions, so it is difficult to say who copied whom.

Just looking at these martial arts secrets, Li Ke was still very interested, so he flipped through them quickly.

But after flipping through a few pages, Li Ke frowned.

because……

This Shaolin Beiming Divine Art focuses on transforming the whole body into internal force, that is, the place of qi, in order to increase the capacity of qi. Being able to absorb the internal force of others is just a side effect. The real effect is to absorb and exhale nutrients between heaven and earth...

The effect is very much like the siphon effect, so the correct way to use it is to inhale and exhale the energy of heaven and earth after being able to feel the energy of heaven and earth, and then strengthen your body and spirit.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a method of cultivating immortals.

Li Ke tried it and indeed felt some wonderful feelings. He felt the existence of the breath in every thing between heaven and earth.

but……

He could normally do it, but compared to purifying his own blood and qi and then letting the blood and qi nourish the body, the speed of simply nourishing the body and strengthening the spirit was too slow.

And this Shaolin Beiming Divine Art can be said to be of no use to him at all.

Because his whole body stores energy! He doesn't need the siphon effect to absorb the energy between heaven and earth, because the efficiency is too slow, and he needs to constantly use his own energy to reconcile, which is too slow.

The core idea is not to limit yourself to something or a certain thing. There is no need to guard the Dantian. The Dantian is just an imaginary organ. Your body is your Dantian. Just like there is no real core between heaven and earth, but it can allow a behemoth like Kunpeng to surge. You must know the vastness of the heaven and earth, and how small you are.

This secret book is more about this truth.

So he put the Shaolin Beiming Divine Art back with a strange look on his face and picked up the Yi Jin Jing, but this time he flipped through it faster. The more he read, the more he felt that this thing was useless to him.

The main purpose of the Yi Jin Jing is to improve one's physique, internal strength, or the purity of something like Qi, but for Li Ke, the Blood Qi Secret Art can also do the same.

He tried to practice Yi Jin Jing and found that the effect was average. The ability to increase physical qualifications also relied on internal energy to nourish the body. Some of the methods were very interesting, but the intensity was definitely not as fast as his direct blood and energy. Moreover, the core idea of ​​this secret book was that life lies in movement!

Yes, this secret book basically talks about this throughout: only by exercising and training properly can you have a good body.

So he put back the Yi Jin Jing and picked up the Xi Sui Jing.

This time he put it down faster, because the Washing Marrow Sutra talks about how to transform one's body, but he can also use blood and energy quickly in this regard! And he understood after a few glances that this thing is for people to move their bodies and activate blood and energy, not for people to practice martial arts and beat people!

So, he looked at the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

But I put it down after reading only two pages, because it is essentially about using energy to resist damage and strengthen the body. The most important thing is to teach people how to exercise their bodies, concentrate on doing their own things, and be prepared for what they are going to do - if you want to think, calm down and think carefully, and if you want to act, start acting immediately. The indestructibility that is most valued by people is just a side effect.

He was already doing this, and after just a few glances, he already knew how this technique worked.

So he took out the Tathagata Palm.

This time it feels even more weird. Although Tathagata Palm is obviously a secret fighting method, the moves are very simple, but it gives people a very weird feeling.

The main idea of ​​this secret book is to ask you if you really know what you want? Have you really thought about what your desires will bring? Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be? Do you really know what "love" is? There are so many questions, but there is not much in the way of martial arts.

As for the power of the move, it is not very strong. Li Ke watched it carefully and felt that this should be the mobilization of spiritual power, just like the "awakening" in the Arad world, which is a way of using spiritual power.

However, there is no specific method in it. It seems that as long as one understands the questions raised in this Tathagata Palm, one can naturally exert unrivaled power!

"strangeness……"

Li Ke felt that something was wrong with his condition. In the eyes of others, these things were definitely top-notch cultivation techniques, but why did he feel that "this seemed to be the general outline of cultivation"?

He kept flipping through the secret book, but the more he looked, the more obvious this feeling became.
