Chapter 221 Theory of Spirituality
The meaning of Qingfeng Patriarch, Wang Sheng knows that as a person cultivates, his soul and body will become stronger, and his lifespan will gradually increase, and if he has a cultivation base, he will instinctively resist and eliminate the dead energy produced by the aging of the physical body, and maintain a peak physique, unless the lifespan is imminent , the strong death energy is irresistible, it will instantly erode the cultivation base, and the physical body naturally cannot resist it.
Therefore, the death of a monk comes in an instant. If it is not for the coming of heaven, the body and soul will be in the peak state every moment, but ordinary people are different. They are healthy but fragile in childhood, prosperous in youth and middle age, and reach the peak of life. Age is like the physical condition of a monk, but once one enters old age, death energy will inevitably be born in the body, corrode the body, dissolve the soul, and the body will gradually collapse.
From this basis, it is easy to judge whether this person is a monk, so Patriarch Qingfeng is very convinced of his judgment.
Wang Sheng also nodded secretly. He knew that if the realm was high enough, he could conceal his cultivation and turn into a mortal. However, such a method has exceeded the realm of the law, and it is not something that can be achieved by the current path of Qi practitioners. Therefore, he also prefers the old man himself Just mortals.
But he still shook his head slowly and said, "Do fellow Taoists think that the soul and the body are the reasons for determining lifespan?"
Patriarch Qingfeng was taken aback, isn't this nonsense, the soul and body are of course the key to lifespan, regardless of the cultivators, all of them practice soul and body, in order to prolong their lifespan!
But he refrained from speaking, and instead thought about it, the fellow Taoist in front of him is a mysterious person whose realm strength exceeds his own, and he has added ten years of life to himself by means of good luck, so he should be more familiar with these things than himself, They will not aim at the target indiscriminately and say things that have no basis.
He looked at Wang Sheng in astonishment, "Fellow Daoist, what you mean is that there are other factors that determine lifespan!"
Wang Sheng nodded meaningfully, "Wang can't tell you the specific reason, but in Wang's opinion, it's not the body or the soul that really determines the lifespan, but something hidden deeper in the soul and body."
Patriarch Qingfeng's heart trembled, something deeper in the soul and body! He stared straight at Wang Sheng, "Could it be related to the means that fellow Taoist used before?" He was referring to the matter of increasing his lifespan.
Wang Sheng didn't answer but just smiled.
Patriarch Qingfeng smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had inadvertently touched the taboo of the other party, he took a deep breath and said a little nervously: "That fellow daoist means."
At this time, the two had already arrived in the courtyard, and at the invitation of Patriarch Qingfeng, they sat at the stone table in the courtyard, and Patriarch Qingfeng also offered two cups of spirit tea.
Wang Sheng didn't answer in a hurry, but took a sip of his tea first, and praised him. Seeing that Patriarch Qingfeng's face was eager, he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, so he said slowly: "If that old gentleman is really as miraculous as fellow Taoist said, , but he has no self-cultivation in his body, then it is probably because the things deep in his soul and body are extraordinary and very different."
Patriarch Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and Wang Sheng took another sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Being different from the usual means extraordinary and refined, so this old gentleman may still be alive even though his body is aging and his soul is dying!"
Although the voice was soft, it was loud, and Patriarch Qingfeng froze on the spot, a little unbelievable.
The body is aging, the soul is collapsed, and they are still alive! ?
There is no doubt that this kind of statement is completely beyond the scope of his understanding. The fundamental point that he has firmly believed in since he practiced is that the soul is the foundation of a person's survival and consciousness.
And there is no soul, even the physical body is old, and he is still alive. In the consciousness of Qingfeng Patriarch, there is only one word to describe it: walking dead!
He was not in a hurry to speak, but digested the meaning of Wang Sheng's words, and Wang Sheng also quietly waited for him to react, and was actually a little surprised in his heart.
The deepest things of the soul and body he talked about are naturally the spirit hidden in the primordial spirit of the cultivator and the dharma image of the qi trainer!
If he had formed the Dao Jindan before, Wang Sheng would not have thought that there was something else that really determined his lifespan, but in order to form the Dao Jindan, his primordial spirit dissipated, leaving only a small person with a low spirit, his state at that time It is equivalent to the disappearance of the soul, not to mention the physical body, which has long been lost, but he is still alive, and has undergone nine transformations of yin and yang, forming a pure yang spirit, laying the foundation of pure yang primordial spirit.
It can be said that the spirit is the key to his final formation of the golden core and even his survival.
Naturally, this spirit is not unique to him, but everyone has it, whether it is a monk or an ordinary person. It can be said that it is the origin of the body and soul. The only difference is that the body and soul of the monk continue to grow stronger after training. , Gradually cultivate the spirit, and the life span is also extended.
Ordinary people naturally do not have such good luck, but Wang Sheng thought of a possibility based on the description of Qingfeng Patriarch.
If the old man really controls the Dao of Heaven and Earth with a mortal body, there is only one possibility, and that is that he is very powerful in spirit, even surpassing the Dharma practitioners like Patriarch Qingfeng.
As for the reason for this strong spirituality, Wang Sheng speculates that there are two possibilities. First, the natural spirituality is strong enough to control the vitality of the world; Contain the soul in it.
From Wang Sheng's point of view, the mysterious old man probably has both, which is why he can achieve such power.
Wang Sheng was naturally amazed. It is not uncommon to gather luck from the heaven, earth, and avenues. Although there is no one in a million born with a strong mind, it is possible to be born, but the combination of the two is really against the sky. It can be said that if this type of person cultivates, he is destined to be born Favored son, even if there is no way to go on the road of Qi practitioners today, it will not limit the strength and realm of such people, and they are destined to be immortals.
But this old man was born unable to cultivate, which made Wang Sheng feel pity, but he also admired him very much.
You must know that although the Great Way of Heaven and Earth leans towards it, it is still impossible for ordinary people to see through it, let alone use it. However, the old man has used the Great Way of Heaven and Earth in a mortal body, and he has also spontaneously researched the formation method of alchemy. It's a talent!
This kind of talent is like the existence of great Confucianism among ordinary people. Although he has no supernatural powers, he has a thorough mind and is not deceived by anything.
Wang Sheng has a very strong interest now, and wants to meet people like the old man. Although these people have no cultivation, they can be called friends!
However, all of the above are Wang Sheng's guesses after all. Maybe the old man has other reasons to control the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and his spirit is not as strong as he imagined, and he may have passed away long ago.
Patriarch Qingfeng finally woke up, and looked at Wang Sheng a little excitedly, "Dare to ask you, what is the probability that the old man is alive?" The old man has always regretted not being able to see each other again. Now he has the opportunity to make up for it, so he naturally doesn't want to miss it.
