Chapter 136 Dao Heart Seed
Feeling the magical changes in his body, Lin Mo thought: "Is this the heart of Tao?"
"You're thinking well!" The Patriarch Subhuti, who was originally listening to Lin Mo's words, laughed and scolded: "If the heart of Tao is so easy to understand, the gods and Buddhas in the sky don't have to meditate and recite scriptures all day! You are at most just a seed of the heart of Tao!"
After hearing this, Lin Mo touched his head with a hint of embarrassment, and laughed...
The so-called Taoist heart is a very mysterious thing that is difficult to describe in words. You can say that it is the human heart, which includes a series of difficult things such as the motivation for practice, the vision for practice, the goal of practice, and even the persistence of practice. If you have to summarize it in one sentence, it can be said that it is the practitioner's own values, world view, life view, etc.
For beginners, this thing is useless. For example, even if a practitioner in the Qi Refining Realm has a profound understanding of the Taoist mind, he still has no magical powers and powers. As soon as he goes out, he is sprayed to death by a toad spirit with a sip of poisonous smoke... What's the use?
However, for practitioners with higher realms, especially those above the immortal realm, the Taoist heart is extremely important. If the Taoist heart is not firm enough and even becomes confused, then the magic power will scatter, the realm will be unstable, and the cultivation will be greatly reduced, and even the body will die and the Tao will disappear.
This is not a joke, but a real reality. It is just that an ordinary mortal on earth will suffer some devastating mental blows that will cause all three views to be destroyed, and then the immortal's Taoist heart will naturally become more serious!
What Lin Mo said just now was all the thoughts in his mind. This was quite complicated. It had the motivation for practice and the vision of practice. Even the goals of practice were a little bit broad. But when you think about it carefully, it was a little blurred. In addition, he had just realized that he had not experienced any hardships and had not been tested by disasters, so he was still far from the mind of Tao. He could only be regarded as a seed of the mind of Tao as Patriarch Subhuti said.
But even so, it is enough for breaking through the current realm.
The realm of refining the spirit and the realm of refining the energy is different. It is not just about accumulating magic power. The body can be conceived continuously with magic power until it breaks through, but the soul cannot. Because the soul is the most fundamental place for a practitioner. The reason why Lin Mo is Lin Mo and the reason why Sun Wukong is Sun Wukong is all about the soul, not the body.
Therefore, to make the soul clear, it is not just about the mere nurturing of magic power. It also requires spiritual understanding. This is also why the disciples of the sect will go down the mountain to experience it after reaching the realm of refining the spirit, because they need to go through various things to temper their thoughts and spirits.
At this point, Lin Mo is quite special: he began to experience various things in the Qi refining realm, and even achieved his current cultivation because of these things. The so-called tempering of thoughts and spirits has long been established, but he lacked the last step to expose the inner understanding.
And now, Patriarch Subhuti kicked this kick.
"Thank you for your advice, Master." Lin Mo understood all this at this time and bowed to the ground and thanked him.
Patriarch Subhuti smiled and said, "Don't be happy too early. I will ask you this question in the future. You may not be happy at that time."
Lin Mo also laughed: "Master, just ask. Just ask and break through once, I won't lose money!"
Patriarch Subhuti laughed suddenly.
The bottleneck was opened, and Lin Mo was happy. In addition, the atmosphere was very good at this time. Lin Mo suddenly moved and had a very exciting idea: Should I take the initiative to ask if the ancestor knew his origin?
This is really a dangerous idea, but it is a tempting idea. After all, compared to being worried all the time, I am worried every time I see you, so it is better to figure it out.
"Anyway, if Patriarch Subhuti doesn't know, I'll have no problem asking. If I know, it's the same if I ask or not! No matter how you look at it, it won't be much of a loss to me!"
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Mo was even more moved. Seeing that the Patriarch Subhuti was still smiling, he simply gritted his teeth and put this idea into practice.
"Master, I have something to ask about." He knelt on his knees but did not kowtow, but straightened his back, stared at the face of Patriarch Subhuti, and said quickly: "Are you going to my origin?"
Patriarch Subhuti was stunned, his smile quickly calmed down, and in a blink of an eye it had become his original appearance. He sat upright on the stone bed and looked down at Lin Mo quietly. His eyes were bright, as if the sky was overlooking the earth, leaving nothing to hide, and illuminating everything.
This was really stressful. Lin Mo almost instinctively wanted to kowtow on the ground, and then kneel out of the meditation room. But he still remembered what he was doing. He gritted his teeth hard, and felt a huge pain in the tip of his tongue. He barely supported himself and kept his figure and looked directly at the Patriarch Subhuti.
The two sides just looked at each other.
After a while, Patriarch Subhuti reacted. Unexpectedly, he raised the corner of his mouth and spoke with a smile on his face.
“Is this important?”
This was really an unexpected answer. At least Lin Mo was stunned for a moment before he realized it and replied: "It's more important to disciples."
Patriarch Subhuti shook his head: "No. This is not important to you."
Lin Mo was anxious. He didn't even pay attention to his tone for a moment and said first: "How come this doesn't matter? If you know my origin, I will--"
At this point, Lin Mo was suddenly stunned.
Patriarch Subhuti looked at him and said, "What do you do? What do you want? No more practice? No more come to Fangcunshan?"
Lin Mo did not answer. Naturally, he could not stop practicing, nor could he even stop coming to Fangcunshan. He could not even say anything.
Yes, what if the Patriarch Subhuti and even those powerful people knew his origin? Except for the first time they came to Fangcun Mountain, the other times they entered the mythical world, they were all his own will. Even the last entry and exit of the world of Stories from a Chinese Studio and the re-entering Journey to the West were all choices he made himself. What does it have to do with other things?
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Patriarch Subhuti curled his smile and spoke slowly again.
"It doesn't matter what you are from and where you come from. What's important is that you are a practitioner now and a practitioner who wants to continue walking on the path of practice."
"I have already said that you are already from my family and a disciple. What is the importance of your past history?"
"Remember, you have already walked, and it is not worth your over-looking back. Looking into the distance and where to go is what you really should pay attention to!"
Lin Mo was silent for a long time and leaned over and kowtowed.
