Asking About Longevity Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Tao Yun

 In a secluded field among the vast spiritual fields.

Mo Hua sat on the ridge of the field and began to practice the thick earth formation in an open space in front of him.

 Housou Tu Formation itself, Mo Hua has already mastered it with the help of Taoist tablets.

 The only problem is that the formation has no effect after drawing it.

 Those who have thick soil carry good virtues and nourish all living beings.

 This formation must use land as the formation medium in order to be truly effective.

Mo Hua took the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to draw thick earth formations on the ground.

 After a while, a mysterious and clumsy thick earthen formation containing eleven formation patterns was completed.

 Ink painting is infused with spiritual power, trying to light up the formation.

 But the spiritual energy entered the formation, like flowing into a bucket with an exposed bottom, and poured out in an instant.

Mo Hua wiped the pattern with his hand, and the pattern was wiped away easily.

Mo Hua sighed.

Failed.

 Ink painting was unwilling to give in and started to paint again.

As expected, the second officer also failed.

The third deputy also failed...

 After the spiritual consciousness is exhausted, he meditates in ink painting, and when the spiritual consciousness is full, he continues painting.

 But no matter how you draw it, the pattern cannot be integrated into the land, and the spiritual power cannot flow.

Mo Hua frowned and thought:

"It seems that Master is right. This principle sounds simple, but in practice, it is completely different..."

“No matter how you draw it, the formation pattern cannot remain on the ground, and the spiritual power cannot be integrated with the earth.”

“And after so many drawings, there is still no progress…”

 “Do you want to ask Master again?”

Mo Hua hesitated a little, then shook his head.

 Let's understand it again.

 If Master wanted to tell himself, he would have said it before.

Master didn't say it, he probably had other intentions and wanted me to understand it.

As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.

 If you can understand it yourself, it is better to learn and think about it yourself, so that you can experience it more deeply.

Mo Hua nodded, and then thought about it:

 “It should be that I haven't painted enough.”

 “If you draw the formation a hundred times, its meaning will become apparent.”

“Draw it a hundred times first and see if you still don't have a clue, then ask the master.”

Mo Hua nodded, held his breath and continued to draw thick earth formations on the land.

  Draw from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening.

 There is no need to sleep when doing ink painting at night.

 When your spiritual consciousness is exhausted or you feel tired, sink your spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Sit quietly and meditate for a moment in front of the Taoist monument, and your spiritual consciousness will be abundant and people will become energetic.

 Ink painting was spent sleepless and foodless hours drawing formations.

 Bai Zixi took Miao'er to deliver food to Mo Hua.

But seeing that Mo Hua was concentrating on drawing the formation, he didn't disturb him and just quietly put the rice next to him.

When Mo Huahua was tired, he would take a few bites when he saw the lunch box during his break.

 After eating, continue drawing formations.

 A few days later, the thick earth formation has been drawn eighty or ninety times in ink painting, but the formation pattern still cannot fit with the land.

 Ink painting can't help but feel a little self-doubt.

 Is the method wrong?

 Or do you not have enough understanding?

 I don't really have to draw it a hundred times...

 But according to this, even if you draw it a hundred times, it seems that there will be no progress.

Mo Hua frowned and held his chin, thinking silently.

 Did you overlook something?

 Elements of formation: formation medium, formation pattern, formation hub, and formation eye.

 These should all be taken into consideration…

Besides that, there are spiritual ink, spiritual power, and spiritual consciousness...

Mo Hua was talking about each one one by one, and suddenly he was startled.

Divinity…

 A monk must use his spiritual consciousness to understand the formation.

 But he is also using his spiritual consciousness to understand the formation?

 Is it not just formations that must be understood?

 The formation is painted on the earth, carrying virtues, the way of the earth... Those who understand, in addition to the formation, there is also "the earth"?

With the mentality of giving it a try, Mo Hua sat down cross-legged, held his breath and concentrated, and began to communicate with the earth with his spiritual consciousness.

 Half an hour passed.

 Nothing happened…

The ink painting is a little decadent and a little doubtful.

 Suddenly he slapped his head and remembered something.

Mr. Zhuang just told him:

“When a monk realizes the Tao, he only focuses on perception, which is inevitably illusive and illusive, just in form and without substance.”

“And the formation is the manifestation of the heavenly way, and it is the bridge between the monks and the void heavenly way.”

 The formation is the bridge between the monks and the way between heaven and earth.

That is not to meditate and dream, but to use the formation as a bridge, while drawing the formation, and at the same time comprehending the great road.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and then he dipped his pen in ink and began to draw thick earthen formations on the ground.

Only this time, while painting, he unfolded his spiritual consciousness and communicated with the earth.

As he started writing, the ink painting faintly felt that his consciousness seemed to be touched.

It seems that the vast land has a vague aura, which emerges bit by bit as I copy the pattern.

With each additional stroke of formation, the breath of the earth becomes thicker.

 The feeling of spiritual consciousness in ink painting is also clearer.

After Mo Hua finished drawing the formation, Mo Hua was convinced that he had indeed sensed something.

It is a vast, deep and compassionate atmosphere.

But this is still just a perception.

 After sensing it, the earth is still silent, without a trace of breath.

Mo Hua lowered his head and looked at the formation he drew.

 Part of the formation patterns have gradually merged with the land, but only a shallow layer has been merged, and it can only absorb a faint amount of spiritual power.

 Despite this, Mo Hua is still in high spirits.

 This shows that his idea is right.

To understand the thick earth formation is not just to understand the formation, but also to understand the great ways contained in the formation.

 In this way, we can combine the formation with the Tao, and use "earth" as the formation medium to draw this perfect formation.

 He has now realized some mysteries, but he has painted too little, the time for understanding is short, and the temperature is not yet high.

 Next, just keep drawing.

 The eyes painted in ink are as bright as stars.

 He cheered up and continued to practice the thick earth formation according to the method he had just learned.

The effect of this exercise is obviously much better.

 With each additional drawing, the formation pattern and the land become more consistent.

 The breath of the earth perceived by the spiritual consciousness gradually became clearer.

It seems like the vast and boundless land also has its own will. It is eternal and silent, but it is broad-minded and supports all things.

 Ink painting communicates this eternal will, and realizes it bit by bit, and the spiritual consciousness is in harmony with it.

 The understanding of the thick earth formation has become more profound.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, Ink Hua finally successfully drew the first thick earth formation on the land.

 The formation pattern is one with the earth. The ink paintings light up the formation with spiritual power.

 In the deep night, the thick earth formation exudes a warm luster.

 The spiritual power in the formation has also undergone special changes.

It seems to have a life of its own, evolving on its own, turning into a subtler and gentler spiritual power.

These spiritual powers are like fine spring rain, blending into the land, nourishing life, and multiplying endlessly.

 Ink paintings can even feel the rich vitality from the soil.

“The terrain is great and the virtues are great. Is this the thick soil array?”

Mo Hua felt something in his heart and felt a little absent-minded for a moment.

 He finally understood why Jue Zhen was called Jue Zhen.

 Because the flow of spiritual power in Jue Zhen is essentially different from ordinary formations, and is closer to a deeper level of Tao.

 Ink painting now masters two types of unique formations.

 One is the counter-spirit formation, and the other is the thick earth formation.

An anti-spiritual formation will reverse spiritual power, but a thick earth formation will cause spiritual power to be derived.

The annihilation of counter-spirit is the killing and killing of silence.

Thick soil nourishes and sustains life.

 Both are changes in spiritual power, completely different from each other, but they come from the same source and are derived from Tao.

 In the ink painting, I suddenly had an epiphany, my mind became clear, and my understanding of the great road became deeper.

 “Extreme formations, but close to the Tao…”

Mr. Zhuang's words are also deeply engraved in the consciousness of ink painting.

 It was past midnight, and the night sky was filled with stars.

 The moonlight is like a veil, draped among the mountains and mountains in Lingtian.

Mo Hua felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

 After spending so much time, I finally learned the thick earth formation.

Mo Hua wanted to take a rest, but he felt excited and full of energy, and he didn't seem to need a rest.

  It is better to consolidate the thick earth formation again.

So the ink painting was painted on the ground again, and the thick earth formation was drawn again.

 But this time, he felt something was wrong.

Although the formation patterns in the painting are integrated into the earth, they are occasionally intermittent, and the spiritual power is not particularly smooth.

Mo Hua thought about it and then understood.

Although I feel the breath of the earth, my understanding is still very shallow.

 So this kind of perception comes and goes, and the formation is also intermittent.

 This can only be said to be barely learned, not proficient.

 At least compared to the ancestors of the Sun family, it should still be much worse.

If you want to follow the ancestors of the Sun family and reconstruct the spiritual field with the pattern of thick earth formation, you have to go even further.

Mo Hua frowned.

 The root of this problem does not lie in the formation itself.

 Having drawn it so many times, I have become proficient in ink painting of the thick earth formation, and I can even draw it with my eyes closed.

 The problem lies in the perception of the earth's atmosphere.

 Once the spiritual consciousness loses the perception of this breath, the formation pattern will no longer fit with the earth.

Mo Hua closed his eyes and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the breath.

This time it is much clearer, but it is still there, elusive, and unable to feel deeper.

 No matter how hard you try, that's all.

Mo Hua held his chin, frowning, his mind racing.

 Let's think of a way…

If you cannot clearly perceive this breath and your spiritual consciousness cannot communicate with the earth, then you cannot draw the thick earth array with 100% accuracy.

 It is even more impossible to build a spiritual field.

 In this case, it cannot be regarded as having learned the thick earth formation.

 “My own spiritual consciousness is limited, how about using the “Tao Monument”?”

Mo Hua then thought about it, his eyes moved slightly, and then his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

 In the sea of ​​consciousness, Taoist monuments emerge.

 Ink painting draws thick earth formations on the Taoist stele while using the Taoist stele to feel the breath of the earth.

 Suddenly, Mo Hua felt the Taoist monument tremble.

It is like the divine thoughts of heaven and earth descending and resonating with the Taoist monument.

 In an instant, Mo Hua was shocked.

 It was as if his own spiritual consciousness had sensed an eternal and gigantic divine thought.

This divine thought is compassionate and broad, as vast as the sea.

 But my own spiritual consciousness is so small and insignificant, it is only like a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, the breath of this spiritual thought is vaguely familiar.

 Suddenly, Mo Hua understood.

 When he painted the thick earth formation, the breath he felt came from this divine thought.

 But his own consciousness was too weak, and all he could detect was the faintest breath.

Now with the help of the Dao stele, what I can perceive is Haoran's spiritual thoughts!

 This is the divine thought of the vast land!

This divine thought does not contain good or evil, does not contain joy and anger, and does not contain all selfish thoughts in the world.

 Just like the earth itself, it carries all things and nourishes all things, but allows all things to live and die without interfering.

 It is more like the "Tao" of the earth than a divine thought.

 Ink painting brings happiness to the soul. On the Taoist monument, a thick earth formation is drawn with a stroke of pen.

 This thick earth formation is extremely heavy.

 Every stroke of the painting seems to contain the power of the earth.

 The thick earth formation was completed, using the formation as a bridge, Mo Hua felt that he had a vague connection with this divine thought.

 My own spiritual consciousness becomes more and more intimate with the spiritual thoughts of the earth.

And from his spiritual thoughts, Mo Hua also personally realized the "way of the earth".

 It was only a moment of realization, but it was extremely profound.

 All things are born, and the earth supports all things.

 The trees and grass are withered and flourishing, the melons are ripe and their stems are falling off. They are constantly growing and passing on from generation to generation.

 On the earth, the scene of the derivation of all things appears.

 In a daze, the ink painting seemed to have some feeling.

 “The earth is governed by heaven, and humans are governed by earth.”

He seemed to be really standing on the vast earth and had a glimpse of the "Tao" of the earth.

 His spiritual consciousness is in harmony with the way of the earth.

 Ink Hua has a vague feeling that one day, he will really be able to use his mind as his pen and the "earth" as his paper.

 The sky covers it, the earth reaches it, and the spiritual consciousness moves it, drawing the earth into a formation!

At the same time, Mr. Zhuang, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the old man with the same shocked expression.

 At that moment, they all felt a sense of panic.

Mr. Zhuang murmured in disbelief:

 “Who…touched the Tao Aggregate?”

 Then the two of them were suddenly startled and looked toward the spiritual field in the southeast.

 In the spiritual field, his young apprentice has been staying there to comprehend the formation.

At this moment, in the spiritual field, there is a profound and inexplicable energy that is endless.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes became more and more incredible...
