The previous chapter should have been written as Xu Fu, which was a typo and was corrected at that time.
If you don’t understand, just ask. Wang Xuan looked doubtful and interrupted Lao Chen temporarily.
"Old Chen, this is not right. Could it be that you want to convert to Buddhism because you learned the Bodhisattva Fist from the ghost monk? How can you be called an ancient Buddha at this level?"
Old Chen shook his head and said, "Buddhism is too complicated. They will abandon their physical bodies at any time. I am really afraid. It's okay to learn their physical skills, Bodhisattva Fist, but I dare not practice their fundamental methods. I am afraid that I will burn myself into relics in the future."
Aoki was speechless, feeling that his master was still very cautious.
After Lao Chen explained, he glanced at Wang Xuan and said, "When it comes to Ran Deng, you actually have this kind of association. This won't work. You need to read more books related to the old art to enrich your foundation."
Wang Xuan wanted to hit his old colleague. Was he seriously looking down on him?
Old Chen spoke earnestly and advised him to read more Taoist scriptures and browse some books on traditional arts when he had nothing to do, which would be beneficial to him.
Wang Xuan endured it, there was nothing he could do. Now that he couldn't hit Old Chen, he had to remain silent and listen humbly to him talking about the division of realm levels applicable to ancient and modern times.
Lao Chen explained: "Lighting the lamp means lighting the lamp of the heart. The light of the spirit illuminates the night sky of Changsheng, allowing us to see the dim road ahead and identify the direction."
Wang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Let me start from the beginning. What is the fog like? Have I reached this level?"
Old Chen was surprised and said, "Didn't I say last time that if we divide Go by rank, I have just become a professional player, while you are still honing your skills as amateurs."
At this moment, not only did Wang Xuan feel looked down upon, Qingmu also felt that he was being indiscriminately attacked.
"The fog refers to people who have just become true practitioners. When they look inward, they can see some conditions inside their bodies, as if they are shrouded in a hazy fog," Lao Chen explained.
He noticed that the two people were looking at him unkindly, and said, "You want me to classify 'amateur chess players'? Then I will simply say two words, below Grandmaster, Grandmaster, and if you break through, you will be a 'professional chess player', which means a true practitioner in the field of the old art."
At this time, even Qingmu wanted to beat his master! Those words were not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.
The Grandmaster has actually become a transitional unit, and those who have not reached the level are called below the Grandmaster. If this gets out to the outside world, everyone will probably want to beat Lao Chen to death!
"Okay, go on!" Wang Xuan didn't want to listen to his advice. He had to work hard to improve himself in the future so that he could beat Lao Chen up later.
Lao Chen nodded and said, "I am in the fog stage now. When I first looked at myself, my body was dark and I couldn't see the surrounding scenery."
Wang Xuan sighed, Lao Chen has now truly stepped into the mysterious realm of the old arts. This is a qualitative change, and he has begun to come into contact with the terrifying and powerful supernatural!
"Remember, the fog is not an illusion. It is what I actually saw. This is based on my experience. If you ever suddenly step into this level, don't be afraid or hesitate. If you can see a little light in the fog, just follow it and keep going."
The so-called little light refers to the spiritual realm.
Old Chen smiled and said, "In the past, I have triggered the touch state many times. Although it is a pity that I could not enter the inner scene, my spirit has undergone a qualitative change and finally formed a spiritual realm. For me, if I consolidate it, calm down and accumulate for a while, I can directly light the lamp!"
The second level of the old art, lighting lamps, requires deep accumulation of spiritual energy to be successful. However, it is not about lighting the spirit, but about tempering the spiritual realm and concentrating it, and finally hanging it like a lamp under the originally dim night sky of Changsheng, illuminating one's own way and pointing out the direction for oneself.
"Are these the real scenes that you see when you look inward?" Wang Xuan asked.
Lao Chen nodded, and then mentioned the third level, saying: "Although I have not yet entered the Lantern Field, I can vaguely sense the road behind it. Combining the old art secrets recorded in the Taoist Canon and the Pre-Qin bamboo slips, I have understood what the third level is. It is the 'life land'. Don't underestimate or ignore this area. It is related to your future. Both the Pre-Qin alchemists and Taoists attach great importance to this place. It can nourish life and is the origin of vitality."
He himself has not yet reached the level of destiny and earth, so he can only talk about it in general terms based on the records in the book, but cannot demonstrate the specific process of reaching it.
"The fourth level is collecting herbs." Old Chen quickly said the next level.
"Collecting herbs, after reaching this field, do you need the help of herbs to practice?" Wang Xuan asked.
As a result, Patriarch Wang was "beaten" again!
Old Chen glanced at him and said, "When you were at work, I saw you secretly reading the Taoist scriptures every day. Where did you go? Didn't you see the term "collecting herbs"? This is a process that Taoists attach great importance to."
"Old Chen, you spy on me every day!"
Old Chen said sternly, "As your leader, I saw that you were not doing your job properly at work, and I was already tolerant enough by not calling your name or deducting your salary. How can you slander your old leader like this?"
Wang Xuan was speechless and wanted to say, isn’t that just a nursing home?
"Collecting herbs means collecting the precious herbs in your body to achieve self-improvement. When you step into this field, you must master the timing of collecting herbs and never be careless. I will give you two books later, study them carefully. This kind of thing has always been kept secret and has always been passed down from master to apprentice orally. Very few secrets are recorded on paper."
What Lao Chen said was true, the secret of collecting herbs was extremely rare, especially precious and valuable.
"Of course, you are practicing the root method on the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Your foundation is strong enough, so it doesn't matter if you don't have the secret. I will just give you a little reference."
