The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 31 Finals
There were a lot of monks who came to see the Daoist Newcomer Competition, and the audience was full of seats. They all watched Tang Yue and Ji Chongguang's discussion stage. Some people praised Ji Chongguang for being the leader for several consecutive years, and some were surprised that Tang Yue, a little girl, had come to the end one game.In the last contest, the contestants will be given half a stick of time to prepare for the topic. After all, this question is more difficult.

Ji Chongguang spoke first, "Cultivating the Tao is based on cultivating the essence, energy and spirit first, and the method of cultivating the body is also to improve the strength of the body through the method of dual cultivation of life and soul. Therefore, cultivating the soul and cultivating the primordial spirit are the most important things in cultivation." After that, a pile of classics quote.

Tang Yue was thinking about how to answer just now. This topic is the most common debate, and it is also the most difficult to answer. That is, the cultivation of Dao can also be divided into two schools of body cultivation and spiritual cultivation. There are endless debates. fight.

With a sudden decision, she decided to borrow the discussion of idealism and materialism in modern theory.

"Spirit first or body first, this is actually a question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg. The chicken lays the egg, and the egg lays the chicken. It cannot be discussed who is ahead and who is behind."

"A person's innate soul generates innate vitality, which turns into spiritual roots, and then grows out of the whole body according to the spiritual roots. In the process of body construction, liver wood, heart fire, spleen soil, lung metal, kidney water, and gallbladder wind The six schools are all shaping and tempering the spirit in the body. The internal organs, nine palaces and twelve rooms can all determine the state and quality of the soul."

"Therefore, spiritual and physical training should be two sides of the same body. Those who become immortals still have to reshape their bodies. Those who become holy in the physical body also have immortal spirits. Spiritual and physical training should be equally important, because they are fundamentally It's one thing."

Both Ji Chongguang and Da Neng off the field admired secretly. They had never heard of such a statement, but they thought it was very reasonable. Some people in the field praised it, and some disagreed, saying that it was an opportunistic statement.

Taking advantage of Tang Yue's argument, Ji Chongguang continued: "Although this is the case, you also said that it is the innate spirit that gives birth to vitality, and the spiritual root is born from the vitality, and then turns into a human body, that is to say, it is the innate spirit that first has , which is one of the reasons why the innate spirit is important."

"The second reason is that you can get rid of your physical body by cultivating the spiritual body, but you can't regenerate your spirit when you ascend to the immortal body. This is the reason why spiritual cultivation comes first."

Tang Yue really wanted to refute him, the spirit body or reincarnation, or the creation of heaven and earth, cannot escape the operation of the five elements.In other words, life is produced from the movement of matter, and consciousness may be produced by quantum.

However, the scientific community has not proven this point, and no one in the world of cultivating immortals has discussed it. Maybe she will be able to communicate with immortals after becoming a fairy.

Another point is that a demon soul can be born from a corpse, which means that the body can also produce a spirit, but it is hard to say whether the resulting demon is the original person.Moreover, these words violated the righteous and mainstream values ​​of the world of cultivating immortals, and it seemed treasonous to others, so she didn't dare to say it.

She also has doubts, the spirit body has come out of the body to become a fairy, and the body has been recast, is this person really the same as before?

Now is not the time for her to discuss, she continued to struggle and said: "Brother Ji Dao's words are powerful, but I think one day there will be great powers to discover that the five elements of heaven and earth are not hesitating to work, and spirit bodies can be born from them. The five elements themselves are ignorant and unaware. It should be counted as a body."

As soon as the words were spoken, the time was up, and the last rookie discussion competition was over, and the judges would score points to decide the winner.

Ji Chongguang knew in his heart that what Tang Yue said had some truth, but after all, no one had done research on it, so it could not be counted as the basis for her point of view. This argument should be won by herself.

After a while, the scores of the two were announced, and it was indeed Ji Chongguang who won.

He bowed his hands to Tang Yue: "I promise, I relied on experience and experience to score points in this game, it's nothing. Tang Daoyou's views are novel and more inspiring. In my heart, you are the number one."

Tang Yue felt that this person had a good personality and was able to admit his shortcomings in public, "Thank you Brother Ji Dao for your appreciation. I am also picking up people's teeth. I have borrowed other sayings, which cannot be regarded as my own originality."

Ji Chongguang was curious, and there were Taoist books he hadn't read? "So, I'll ask Tang Xiaoyou for advice at the dinner later, and let's discuss it again."

At the end of the competition, Wuji Mountain will hold a banquet to celebrate the complete success of the Newcomers Discussion Contest, and there will be high-ranking monks discussing Dao in the last three.Young juniors take this opportunity to socialize and get to know some seniors of the same generation, maybe they can be recommended.

Wuji Mountain held an award ceremony for the first, second and third place, and rewarded them.Tang Yue obtained the more precious Daoist scriptures and elixir, all of which are top grade in the Wuji Mountain treasury.In addition, a top-quality spirit stone was also distributed, which is very generous.

In addition to Taoist scriptures and elixir, Ji Chongguang also obtained the token of the secret realm, the opportunity to try the Immortal Dao Peak, etc., which are specially provided by Wuji Mountain to the outstanding disciples of Liuzhou to hunt for treasures and increase their cultivation base.

Tang Yue's grandfather had been waiting at the side for a long time. Although he was not a master of Taoism, he knew a thing or two about Taoism, and he could talk about mysteries at ordinary times.

Sitting off the court this time, I was sweating for her. Fortunately, her performance was amazing, and it can be said that she did not lose to Ji Chongguang.

Many fellow Taoists congratulated him, "Elder Shui, you really have successors. I didn't expect you to have a granddaughter who is outstanding in Taoism, which is enviable."

"Elder Shui, don't let the rich water flow to outsiders, it's better to let Tang Yue come to our Wuji Mountain to study, so that he can represent our Wuji Mountain in the competition in the world of cultivating immortals six years later."

The World Cultivation Contest is a grand event held on ten continents and three islands. Elite disciples from each continent are selected for the competition, and low-level monks below Yuanying and below also participate.

Elder Shui was very happy in his heart, and said modestly: "Where do you want to get so far, Ah Yue still needs a lot of training." She declined for a while.

Tang Yue came to Grandpa's side: "Grandpa, I got No.2, now I can go back and explain to my mother."

Elder Shui stroked his beard, he knew his daughter well, he was not someone who cared about the child's fame, "Your mother will be happy even if you take the last place."

"However, your outstanding performance surprised me. Maybe I can apply for a place for you in the Wuji Mountain Academy, which is much better than you studying in places like Kunwu City." He made no secret of his dislike for Kunwu Mountain, and asked It wasn't because Shui Yingrou was willing at the time that he wouldn't marry his daughter into a new city and suffer.

Non-Wuji Mountain disciples, capable casual cultivators can also apply to enter Wuji Mountain as an inner sect disciple, although Tang Yue does not have to be a Wuji Mountain disciple, it is also very good to learn.

She was happy, "Really? Can I come to grandpa to study?"

"Yes, before you decide what path to practice, it's also great to see more."

The spiritual food and wine prepared by Wuji Mountain for the four-year Dao Discussion Conference are all high-quality, and eating can increase spiritual power, so most young people and powerful people will participate, and the scene is still very happy.Three days later, the meeting will end, and there will be a grander banquet, which will provide profound tea and the fruit of enlightenment, which will be more beneficial to practice.

Tang Yue knew many monks of the same generation, and the monks who came to talk to her were from good backgrounds. When she was chatting happily with a young lady, Ji Chongguang walked towards her, "Little friend Tang, remember you once said that you would explain to me I don’t know if it’s convenient to talk about the duality of spirit and body?”

"It's convenient, let's find a place."

Ji Chongguang took them to a waterside pavilion by the lake, which reminded her of the beautiful man in the Heavenly Palace. Well, Ji Chongguang is prettier than Xiao Xiannan.

Some monks who were interested in this also followed, sitting at a small table, drinking tea and wine, while listening to Tang Yue explain idealism, materialism and dualism of mind and matter to Ji Chongguang.

Ji Chongguang wondered: "I have never heard of this kind of Taoism. I don't know where Tang Xiaoyou heard it from?"

There was a little cold sweat on her head, but she made it up immediately, "I sometimes read some books in the mortal world, and then summed it up. It may not be completely consistent with the original text."

"It is true that although the mortal world has no aura and Taoism is not prosperous, there are many outstanding people who have been blessed by heaven and earth. It is not surprising that they can come up with such lofty theories."

Fortunately, he can make up his own brain, and it's over.

"Let's exchange spiritual news." Ji Chongguang proposed to her to exchange contact information, and the people around the banquet also found it strange. Everyone knows that the master Ji Shao has a high vision, and few people can fall into his eyes, so he offered to contact , very difficult.

Tang Yue didn't know the habits of the Palace Master Ji Shao, so he exchanged spiritual information very readily.

"I hope Tang Xiaoyou can enter the Wuji Mountain Academy, study Taoism more, and participate in the Immortal World Competition with me in six years to win glory for Liuzhou." Tang Yue won the No.2 and should be specially recruited by the Wuji Mountain Academy. Six years later The level of Taoism will increase again.

Tang Yue felt that Master Ji Shaogong was really a person who cared about the development of Liuzhou, "Okay, if I am qualified, I will definitely participate."

In the next few days, she chose to listen to the ones she was interested in. After all, she listened too much and couldn't understand them. The main reason was to see some powerful academic ideas.

Cousin Ruan appeared at the banquet on the last day. Aunt Shui and Uncle Shui brought her here. It seems that she came here specially for the banquet.

Cousin Ruan said curiously: "I never thought you would be really interested in such a boring Taoist scripture, and you can still get No.2."

Aunt Shui was slightly sour, "I didn't expect you to be talented in Taoism, but you are a seedling who learns Taoism scriptures. But don't be addicted to talking about mysteries, and you should focus on Taoism and immortality. Otherwise, your lifespan will be limited, and your mother will be sad."

The corners of Tang Yue's eyes twitched. Even though she had heard Aunt Shui say this many times, she still couldn't get used to it.

Elder Shui reprimanded her: "What are you talking about? You can't worry about your family Ruan Ying if you are worried about Ah Yue. How many troubles have been caused by a male disciple?"

Aunt Shui is still a little afraid of Elder Shui, and Ruan Ying is really outrageous, "I will take care of her."

The discussion conference has thus successfully concluded.
