True enlightenment against heaven: Starting from the proud smile

Why do we say we are in the right place?

First of all, this world is on the orthodox path of Qi refining, and there are also examples of "becoming immortals".

Secondly, although the cultivation system in this world of "Under One Person" is complex, as far as the Chinese continent is concerned, the cultivation methods of Buddhism and Taoism both follow the concept of dual cultivation of nature and life, which coincides with the path that Lu Yuan is taking.

So what is dual cultivation of nature and life?

Nature: usually refers to the inner Tao of a person, including heart, thought, temperament, character, spirit, etc. It represents the cultivation of a person's spiritual consciousness, morality and personality. There is also a general but easier to understand term, that is, the primordial spirit, or more figuratively, the soul.

Life: refers to the external Tao of a person, including body, life, energy, destiny, matter, etc. It emphasizes the training of the physical body, health and longevity at the physiological level, and can also be replaced by a more easily understood general term, the physical body.

Then add Qi refining.

It just corresponds to the "essence (physical body), qi (qi), spirit (soul)" in Taoist practice!

After knowing that this is the world of Under One Person, Lu Yuan quickly reviewed everything he knew in his mind.

This world is different from Xiaoao, and the gap between the upper and lower limits is very large.

People's strength will not decrease with age, but will become more powerful as they get older.

The elegant name of old-age hot-blooded comics is not a joke!

This makes it difficult for him to sneak into the sect to steal the inheritance like Xiaoao World, otherwise he might encounter a "big surprise".

But he must eventually "borrow" the skills of hundreds of schools. In this era where one's own methods are more important than life, except for stealing, he can't touch the real thing at all.

In this case, he has to rely on his understanding and "steal" openly.

Joining the "full nature" is obviously not a good way. The righteous way is hated by everyone and it is too bad for character.

As for what is "full nature"?

This word is also one of the basic concepts of Taoism. It can be traced back to Yang Zhu in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is a thinker of the same level as Confucius and Mozi.

Yang Zhu advocated "preserving the nature and preserving the truth", which means to follow the nature of nature. If life is already there, it should be fully lived, and if things are nourishing, it should be enjoyed, but one should not go against fate and envy longevity, or gather things and burden the body.

To put it bluntly, it emphasizes personal freedom and compliance with nature.

It is believed that people should maintain the true nature given by nature and not be burdened by external things.

To be honest, Lu Yuan still agrees with part of it, but the changes of the times have gradually led the "Quanxing" organization to go astray.

Nowadays, many "Quanxing" members have misunderstood or misinterpreted Yang Zhu's "preserving the nature and preserving the truth" thought.

They interpret personal freedom and compliance with nature as indulgence in desires, disregarding moral constraints, and even use this as an excuse to do many bad things.

This has led to a saying circulating in the world today, "If you see Quanxing, you can kill him directly!"

This kind of organization is not suitable for his development. In fact, there is a very suitable way.

Become a disciple.

Lu Yuan walked to the street, stepped on the surrounding environment, and was also thinking about the possibility of becoming a disciple.

First of all, if he joins a sect, he will inevitably be constrained. If it is in line with his heart, it is fine, and he can listen to reasonable words, but if it is completely contrary to his heart, and he is controlled by some pedantic dogma, saying that this is the rule, then he will definitely defect directly.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, this is indeed a kind of arrogance, and it is also an extreme self-centeredness.

With this kind of mentality, it is a problem whether the sect can accept him.

He can't always tell others that my heart is determined and what I pursue is transcendence. You can convince me with reason, but don't think about breaking my bottom line.

As soon as this was said, it is estimated that he didn't become a disciple, and his dislike was already full.

Some people may ask, if this is the case, why be so stubborn, compromise a little, and learn skills first.

But if he really did this, he would not have chosen to kill the Jinyiwei in the first place.

Of course, there are many benefits to joining a sect, such as sect inheritance and leaning on a big tree for shade.

In the future, he will use the reputation of the sect to reasonably come to the sect to learn, and with his understanding, he "accidentally" understands the methods of the sect. This can't be blamed on him.

Thinking of this, it would be more tempting to become a disciple.

Lu Yuan subconsciously thought of Baiyun Temple, Wudang, Sanyi Sect, Quanzhen Ziyang, Maoshan Shangqing and many other sects.

In the end, he found that Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion was the most suitable.

First of all, the leader of the Taoist sect is very famous, and he can read thousands of Taoist scriptures! Secondly, Longhu Mountain pays great attention to the dual cultivation of sex and life. Finally, and the most important point, their thunder method!

They also take the path of the five qi in the body, which is very suitable for Lu Yuan.

The foundation he built in the world of Xiaoao was the transformation of the five elements, the harmony of the five qi, and the cooperation of yin and yang.

In this way, the inheritance of Longhu Mountain seems to be specially built for him.

Of course, there is another person Lu Yuan is looking forward to, Zhang Zhiwei.

This is a person in this world who is almost full of talent and bones.

Let's put it this way, in the original comics, the author positioned him as Zhang Sanfeng.

Later netizens even named the entire comic "Under One Person" on him.

Just like the saying: He stands there alone, and all living beings are in front of him.

Another example: When he is happy, he is inferior to others, and when he is unhappy, he is inferior to others.

This is an excellent fellow Taoist on the path of cultivation, even better than Dongfang Bubai at the beginning!

The more he thought about it, the more active Lu Yuan's plan to become a disciple became.

If he is so hesitant, he might as well try it first.

If he really doesn't accept it, the worst thing is to learn secretly. Although it is very difficult under the old master's nose, can a person be suffocated to death by urine?

Having made a decision in his heart, Lu Yuan glanced at the tails behind him from the corner of his eye.

After sighing that the world is really chaotic, he stepped into a drug store.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Yuan walked out of the back door of the medicine shop, carrying five packages of herbal medicine and spending one silver dollar.

Let’s talk about the purchasing power of silver dollars in the current era.

In 1917, a family of five in Shanghai needed about fifteen silver dollars per month. Around 1921, male workers could earn about ten silver dollars a month, while female workers could earn about eight silver dollars.

Using this data and comparing it with later generations, it is equivalent to about 500 yuan per silver dollar.

After getting rid of the people following him, Lu Yuan bought some miscellaneous props and food on the street, followed the same spot he had stepped on before, and entered a private house that had been vacant for a long time.

No need to be surprised. In 1921, due to factors such as war, political changes, and social unrest, many original aristocratic, bureaucratic, and merchant families abandoned their residences for various reasons, which resulted in some residences becoming vacant.

Lu Yuan's previous visit was to find a house like this. He needed to stay for one night, make some preparations, and at the same time take a good look at his current situation.

Otherwise, for an eight-year-old child, in this special period, the journey from Peking to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province is more than a thousand kilometers, and even taking a train is not very safe.

Lu Yuan never came out since he entered the house. He spent the entire afternoon processing the herbs and some props he bought, and then after dinner, he seriously checked on his Qi refining status.

He first ran the exercises according to the "Secret of Immortality" and tried to absorb and refine the acquired Qi.

As a result, as soon as the power was exercised, the familiar Qi was born, and there was no trace of acquired Qi at all.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.

He used the ray of immortality energy that was born in the Qinggong "Wandering on the Clouds".

If he were in Swordsman World, with this little bit of energy, he would at least be standing still.

With a trying mentality, he jumped upwards, and ended up...one meter off the ground.
