Chapter 528 The true meaning of mountains and seas
"What Chen Kun said just now is right. Master Chonghua did understand the true meaning of the Shanhai Jue from Beihai and Tianji Peak. But the mountains in the Shanhai Jue after this no longer refer to Tianji Peak; the sea in the Shanhai Jue also refers to the Beihai. They generally refer to all the majestic mountains and all the vast seas in the world! They refer to all the mountains and the true meaning of all the seas!"
Wanyan Donglin explained vigorously.
"Mountains are majestic! The sea is heavy! The momentum of mountains and seas looks down on everything in the world! Even if you haven't fought, your strong momentum can shake and surrender!"
"Disciple understand." Chen Kun bowed to the teachings. The other disciples also focused their minds and carefully digested the true meaning of this sentence.
Wanyan Donglin called out again, this time referring to Feng Ruohan, and he also came here to listen to the lecture. "Ruohan, tell me, how did you practice the first level of the Shanhai Art back then?"
Feng Ruohan said respectfully: "At that time, the disciple followed all the steps on the first level, and did not dare to be careless at all. He carefully operated the immortal power in the original form. It took four years and seven months to finally achieve the training."
"Where is the second level?"
Feng Ruohan smiled bitterly on his face, "Also follow the words of the mind, he operated the immortal power step by step, failed continuously, and suffered endless pain. It took seven years and three months, and finally he was barely trained."
“Where is the third level?”
Feng Ruohan looked ashamed, "The disciple is stupid. He has been practicing the third level for more than seven years and has not yet seen a breakthrough."
The third level of Shanhai Art, I have practiced for more than seven years, but I have not yet seen the breakthrough?
Wanyan Donglin said to other disciples in the field: "Whoever of you practices is the same as him?"
Most disciples, more than 80% of them, should claim to be.
Wanyan Donglin nodded and said, "No wonder you are hard and hard, this is the right way to practice. The complete book of the Shanhai Art left to us by the ancestor. As long as you follow the steps mentioned above and practice hard for many years, you will surely make continuous breakthroughs."
As soon as I changed my voice, "I'll ask another question. The practice of Shanhai Jue focuses on the words "mountain and sea". So, who among you personally went to the top of the mountain and went to the beach to visualize?"
This time, only about 50% of the disciples responded.
"Visualization is a means to directly understand the essence of things, requiring strong talent and precise observation." Wanyan Donglin said, "Whether to be successful in visualization is the word "understanding", which is also the decisive force of talent. What are your gains when you go to the top of the mountain and the sea?"
Feng Ruohan smiled bitterly and said, "I will not hide it from the deputy sect leader. My disciple once sat by the sea for nine days and nine nights, letting the huge waves of the sea water pour out, and he still stood in front of the wind and snow, looking at the small mountains at the top of Tianji Peak, and not moving for several days. However, no matter what, he only appreciated the essence of the meaning of mountains and seas, and seemed to have never realized the essence."
The others felt very much and agreed.
"Visualization?" Jin Ling's mind was cheerful. Yes, he was busy practicing the mantra during this period. He never really went to the top of Tianji Peak and walked to the beach and took a look? Can the essence and mystery of mountains and seas be understood only from the books and words?
Not to mention anything else, Wanyan Donglin's words are worth at least that jade token!
"Visualization is very important, and you cannot blindly seek success, you must rely on enlightenment." Wanyan Donglin said, "You cannot rush to achieve success, and enlightenment is only subtle. Like the nine days and nine nights that Feng Ruohan said just now, it is too little."
"Our current practice is always following the old path of our predecessors. We will practice the same way as our predecessors practiced the Mountain and Sea Art back then. We will not be wrong and will not be obsessed with it. However, compared with the paths we practiced by our predecessors, there is no change or innovation." Wanyan Donglin said with regret, "Including me, this is how we came here."
"But the more I practice, the more I feel that this mental method emphasizes the meaning rather than the image, and focuses on the inside but not the appearance." Wanyan Donglin said, "This is my insight. These insights have benefited me greatly. What I can teach you, including visualization and its connotation, are also in this sentence. How much I can understand depends on your qualifications."
Focus on intention rather than image?
Pay attention to the inside but not the appearance?
The connotation of these two sentences is very complicated, and Jin Ling doesn’t understand it very well. Don’t care about that much, just remember it in your heart and slowly digest it.
Wanyan Donglin said a lot of things to do in cultivation, but she didn't explain any words and sentences word by word. However, the expressions of the disciples who listened to the lecture in the stands seemed to have really benefited a lot.
Since the success of Kaixian, Jin Ling has been practicing himself without any teacher's help. Lei Long has given him some advice, and at critical moments, he is not considered a teacher, and not half of it is. Therefore, when practicing, relying on his own thinking alone, even though he is smart, he often achieves half the effort with twice the effort. At this time, listening to Wanyan Donglin's teaching of the cultivation method, on the surface, he is actually a basic practice method that applies to all the basic cultivation methods, which makes him feel enlightened and clear.
No wonder some major sects, aristocratic families, and major forces seem to have no effort to practice. At least, they have the guidance of famous teachers, so they should avoid detours!
"Finally, I have a poem written by Master Chonghua, called Guan Canghai, and I give it to you. I hope it will be enlightening to you. This poem was discovered by me a few days ago on the screen wall of an inn in Shanhai City when I went down the mountain a few days ago. I felt it was full of true meaning, so I remembered it."
Speaking of this, Jin Ling felt that Wanyan Donglin glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally again.
After Wanyan Donglin said that, she chanted softly:
Watch the sea
Heading to the sky in the east, to see the vast sea.
How calm the water is, the mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are forests and lush grasses.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.
The journey of the sun and the moon is like a journey out of it.
The stars are brilliant, as if they are out of the corner.
Fortunately, I sing to express my aspirations.
It was just a poem about viewing the scenery and chanting. The disciples took their pens and ink to record them.
Jin Ling was speechless. She clearly copied this poem from Guanlan Inn. According to the source, she copied it from the memory of the dream world.
"What a grand spirit! If the journey of the sun and the moon comes out, the stars and the wealth are brilliant, as if they are out of it! Such a vast ocean is no longer just a sign of embracing all rivers, but tolerating the world!"
"Is this sea still a sea?"
"When I recited it in my heart for the first time, I didn't feel anything. When I recited it the second time, I felt shocked. When I recited it the third time, I felt endless aftertaste."
......
The disciples were talking.
Jin Ling felt that when this poem was read from Shangguan Donglin's mouth, every pronunciation seemed to have a very powerful influence and penetration, hitting his heart one by one, making him feel as if he was immediately placed between the towering peaks and the vast sea, and his heart suddenly felt prosperous.
"Everyone has his own peak and his own sea. The true meaning of the mountain and sea master is not in the peak and sea in front of him, but in his own heart. He values the meaning but not the image, and emphasizes the inside but not the expression. I hope that everyone will slowly understand these two true meanings after going back."
