Qingxu thought that as long as there were 365 people on the list, the calamity of becoming a god would naturally be over, so he turned around and said to the two disciples: "You two have been practicing with me for some time, but this practice is so difficult." Not only do you need to cultivate your magic power, but you also need to have the right conduct to match your magic power."
Yuan Hong couldn't help but ask: "Isn't cultivation just about cultivating your magic power? When your magic power is high, your cultivation level will naturally increase, and your Taoism will also increase accordingly, so why do you need to specialize in Taoism?"
Qingxu laughed when he heard this and said: "That's wrong. Magic power and Taoism are complementary to each other. When Taoism is high, it is much easier to cultivate magic power, and when magic power reaches a certain level, Taoism can be forcibly improved. The relationship between the two is just like the relationship between a water tank and water."
Kong Xuan immediately said: "Tao is like a water tank, and magic power is like the water in the water tank. The bigger the water tank, the more water and wine it can hold. On the contrary, when there is too much water but cannot flow out, it will Break the water tank, but there is a bigger water tank outside this water tank. "
Yuan Hong suddenly realized it and said: "As your Taoism improves and you practice, it's like pouring water directly outside a big tank. It saves the time of forcing a small water tank to burst, and the training will be faster."
Kong Xuan continued: "And this water tank was forced to burst by God in order to prevent the water tank from breaking too easily. The water tank will get better and better until eventually, no matter how much water there is, it will no longer be able to break the water tank. "
Seeing that the understanding of the two disciples was so good, Qingxu couldn't help but feel a little proud, stroking the beard under his chin and nodding lightly, saying: "This is the reason why there are many Daluo Golden Immortals in the world who can be quasi-sages, but only a few."
Kong Xuan asked again: "Teacher, is that saint just in a water tank bigger than us?"
Qingxu was stunned and said: "The saint is different. This world is just like the sea. I am just putting a little more water in the sea with the bigger and bigger water tank. But the saint turned into the sea himself." No matter how big your tank is, it can't be bigger than the sea."
The two disciples looked at each other and said, "As soon as the teacher said it, the disciples understood. Taoism is the basis for cultivating magic power. The two disciples will work hard to practice and improve Taoism."
Qingxu nodded and said: "That's why Taoism is the foundation of spiritual practice. Moreover, the improvement of Taoism requires the understanding of heaven and earth and the improvement of one's state of mind. The improvement of one's state of mind requires an understanding of all things. You two stay here as teachers, but your state of mind cannot be improved. . It will be detrimental to your future practice. Therefore, I decided to let you walk down the mountain for a period of time in order to improve your xinxing."
After saying that, he took something out of his sleeve and shook it in the wind, turning it into a seven-foot stick and handed it to Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong took the stick, danced a few times and said with joy, "Thank you very much, teacher."
Qingxu smiled and said, "You are my disciple and I have to plan for you."
Yuan Hong asked again: "Teacher, what is this stick made of? Why is it so heavy and suitable for my use?"
Qingxu said: "I haven't given you a magic weapon since you became a disciple. This thing is called Water Fire and Qi Stick. It's because my teacher saw that you like to use sticks to collect the essence of stars from outside the sky and add the copper of mountains and the essence of Geng gold to the chaos. It was made by tempering it with earth, water, fire and wind for hundreds of years to remove its impurities. Later, I thought about you taking the sun and the moon for the wild-bred monkey, shrinking thousands of mountains, and fearing that this stick is too light for you to use, and you go to collect the chaos under the Nine Netherworld. The stick is made of gas and weighs 18,000 kilograms. "
Hearing this, Yuan Hong hurriedly kowtowed: "The teacher is so troubled for a weapon for the disciple. Disciple is really important."
Qingxu waved his hand to stop him before he finished speaking and then said: "As your master, I will give you weapons. Unfortunately, it is not easy to collect the essence of the stars, and it is not easy to get the chaos and turbid energy. I wanted to refine a pair of armor for you, but it is not enough. The **Xuan Gong you practice is the best physical training method in the world. Now your whole body is as strong as a diamond. It's better not to use ordinary armor. I haven't refined it as a teacher. I will help you when I have the opportunity to become a teacher in the future. Find one."
Yuan Hong felt grateful again. After Yuan Hong kowtowed his thanks, he said to the two disciples: "It's better to hit the sun than to go down the mountain now." After saying that, he turned around and entered the quiet room to continue practicing Taoism in seclusion. .
Kong Xuan and Yuan Hong kowtowed at Qingxu's back, then flew away from Wangwu Mountain in the clouds and flew into the distance.
Qingxu waited for the two disciples to leave, then opened his eyes and murmured: "Now let Pindao slowly change this matter of conferring gods. Let them make a fuss first. Before the conferring of gods begins, Pindao will go and change it." When Jiang Ziya received his disciple, I guess my reputation as the master of the Three Emperors could still calm him down and let him join my Jie Jiao disciple. The poor Taoist would like to see what I do when this person who conferred the title of God is my Jie Jiao disciple. How can religion be destroyed?"
After saying Qingxu, he closed his eyes again and went to practice Zixiao Taoism.
But Kong Xuan and Yuan Hong didn't know where to go after leaving Wangwushan.
Yuan Hong asked: "Brother, where are we going? The teacher only asked us to cultivate our minds in the secular world, but did not tell us where to go or how to cultivate our minds."
Kong Xuan said with a smile: "Junior brother, this thing of cultivating the mind is probably to let us experience some things to see through the world of mortals. Only through experience can we see through everything. As long as we see through it, the state of mind will naturally improve."
Yuan Hong asked: "What are you going to do, senior brother?"
Kong Xuan replied: "I thought about living among the human race for a while. Although the human race is weak, it has the richest emotions among all living beings. I thought that after hanging around among the human race for hundreds of years, maybe I could break through the peak of Daluo Jinxian and reach the realm of quasi-sage. Moreover, the human race is the protagonist in the world and can also help the teacher promote my teachings."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong shook his head and said: "I will not go to the human race. Senior brother, you also know that, junior brother, I have a bad temper and can get angry easily. After all, the teacher is the master of the Three Emperors. If he beat someone to death in anger in the human race, it would be difficult to explain in front of the master." "
Kong Xuan smiled and said: "Okay, where are you going, junior brother?
Yuan Hong said: "This Nanzhan Continent is so big and there is no place where I can't practice. Junior brother, I will go shopping around to find a suitable place before settling down. Everything on our Wangwu Mountain is good, but there are too few people. I am going to make some friends and be at a party." The Demon King is also quite interesting. This should be considered spiritual cultivation, right?
Kong Xuandao: "There are thousands of Tao, choose one of them. Experiencing the love of friends and brotherhood and the feeling of holding power in your hands is, of course, a method of cultivation. Junior brother, you and I will separate here and practice separately. Every hundred years, you and I will come together here. Let's see who can practice faster."
Yuan Hong said with a smile: "Well, although I am a true immortal now and am far behind senior brother, I will definitely catch up with you, senior brother." After saying that, he turned around and drove into the distance on the clouds.
When Kong Xuan saw this, he smiled and left in the clouds.
