Chapter 144: Self-satisfaction and Cultivation of the Heart
What is Sky Eye?
Or take a step back, what is the Spiritual Eye?
I don't even know.
This great man of earth-level cultivation, this great master of herbal medicine, was not much better than a three-year-old child when faced with this problem.
Therefore, Xu Guangling can "borrow the topic" at will.
From time to time, he would instruct and correct his obedient cultivation.
Of course I don't accept it!
You are a hairy boy, is it really that the hair has not grown yet, instructing the old man and my cultivation?
Ahaha!
Did you wake up?
Did you steal wine and drink?
You want to say that you are smart, old man, I admit it.
If you want to say that your background is very remarkable, the old man can't compare, and the old man also recognizes this.
However, you haven't even started your cultivation yet, so you come to point out the old man's level? No matter how bad the old man is, no matter how bad he is, he is also a real person in the level!
Who gave you courage?
"Eye of the sky. ”
Xu Guangling only offered this trick.
So, he was willing to obey.
I had to take it.
Therefore, in the discussion of spiritual practice, he began to retreat step by step, one step back one day, one step back one day, and retreat and retreat, and he retreated into the role of a "little scholar".
The two of them, one old and one young, just like a reversal.
But both of them have adapted well to this change in role.
In his previous life, Confucius had a saying, "Only the superior knows (wisdom) and the lower fool is unswerving." ”
Is it foolishness to be willing to obey?
No.
If he is foolish, he is not a brilliant family inheritance, and it is impossible for him to be promoted to the ground level, and similarly, the inheritance of the Medicine Master Hall that is only limited to one place is basically unlikely to allow him to reach the current level of medicine.
So, is it wisdom?
Neither is it.
Compared with the two old men in his previous life, Xu Guangling felt that the Gan Cong style was still a lot worse.
However, this is understandable, of course, there are personal reasons for this, as well as environmental reasons.
In the previous life, for the two old men, it was the "last days" in a sense, but it was the hard work of most of their lives in the last days that finally achieved their heights.
And in this life, even if Gan Congshi has always been withdrawn, he is actually in a world where cultivation is flourishing, and in terms of herbal medicine, he has the entire Medicine Master Hall as his company.
In this environment, he can't experience the loneliness of "being independent and independent" and "being the only one in the world".
Therefore, there is a lack of some indescribable tempering.
It was an innumerable number of days and nights of asking oneself, which was both hard and unforgettable.
And when they finally came out of the repetition and struggle of asking questions about themselves and came to indifference, they were already major in their respective fields.
Willing to obey the style, there is still a little less heat.
Xu Guangling had no intention of making Gan Congshi a person like the two teachers.
Besides, whether it is a great sect or a great master, it is not something that can be created casually, it is a collection of many factors such as talent, comprehension, mind, behavior, and environment.
But looking at these times, Gan Congshi is barely a "talent that can be created".
If we take grass and trees as a metaphor, both the lower fool and the upper wisdom have a common characteristic, that is, "gentleman's business", that is, in the process of growth and growth, maintain the absolute advantage of the backbone.
More than 80% of the nutrients are concentrated on the growth of the backbone, rather than blooming in all directions.
Such as pine, such as bamboo.
If an ordinary person is locked up in an ashram where there is nothing left, and then he is thrown a pen and a blank notebook and closed for a day, two days, three days, or even a week, he will know what kind of "flowering" of inner consciousness is in his ordinary life.
What about the four sides, the eight sides?
More than forty and eighty.
It's just that most people don't realize this.
"The Zen heart has been stained with mud, and it is not crazy about the spring breeze. ”
There is a poem in the previous life that said this, which can also be classified as "Taoist poetry".
And if we take Taoist poetry as an example, this sentence is not thorough, not final, and the person who said this is more like an ordinary person than a Taoist.
However, although it is not exactly, this state of affairs is acceptable.
In terms of Gan Cong, his heart must have been "crazy about the spring breeze" in his early years, if he met at that time, even if the mode of getting along was like now, Xu Guangling would not pass on the method of cultivation to him.
Because it's not very useful.
It's not worth it.
But the practice stagnated, and gradually entered old age, because of the vicissitudes of time, the heart of Gan Congshi became "muddy", and no longer flew arbitrarily.
As a result, the tree, which was originally mixed with branches, has been trimmed into a pine-like existence through the hands of time.
That's it.
Time passed day by day, and Xu Guangling entered this Medicine King Valley, almost a month.
And in this nearly a month's time, his harvest is-
1. Turned Gan Congshi into a "little scholar".
After convincing Gan Congshi in his practice and letting Lao Gan be at his disposal, Xu Guangling's learning and progress in pharmacy also made Gan Congshi unconsciously change his identity, from the role of a teacher to a common learner and discussant of herbal medicine.
In fact, Xu Guangling can behave a little more outrageously in this regard.
But that's enough, no more is necessary.
In this life, because of his age, he has many occasions when he can't join, and there are some things that are inconvenient to do.
Now, following Xu Tonghui's fulcrum, the second fulcrum can be regarded as being created.
At least, Yakushitang, he can go flat.
Second, with the identity of the great sect of medicine in the previous life, Xu Guangling's herbal medicine study in this life actually did not need any teaching, but the teaching of the willing obedience still played a lot of role, at least, it saved Xu Guangling a lot of time.
3. In the study of the cultivation system under the great master, the Gan Shun style is another good sample.
Xu Guangling's own sample can basically be declared invalid.
Not only can the research below the ground level be continued, but also above the ground level, because the life trick has been "lit up" early, and there is the mixing of immortal truth, which leads to the complete scrapping of the reference of the sample.
In this case, there is undoubtedly a need for more and more types of samples.
There is no doubt that the submissive style is one of the types.
What is particularly interesting is that Tian Hao, Xu Tonghui, and Gan Congshi, the three of them are all different, from their backgrounds, to their personalities, to their levels, and even their talents.
That's good.
But three is still a bit less.
Ten times more, maybe about the same, in fact, even ten is acceptable.
In the future, if these people can all advance to the Heavenly Rank along different directions and routes, then Xu Guangling's research on the basic aspects of the cultivation system under the Great Grandmaster will probably be able to be declared a great achievement.
At that time, another big one will arrive.
But that's the prospect.
It is also Xu Guangling's learning path.
And after a lapse of one month, the almost completely isolated Yakuo Valley finally ushered in its first "guest".
