Chapter 254: Don't dare to go over
Cultivation, after the condensation realm, is the passage realm.
The Qi Condensation Realm is the gestation and transformation of the qi and blood in the body, which is actually just a preparation, strictly speaking, it has not really "hit the road" yet.
It's like when a person wants to go on a long journey, he is just preparing food.
No matter how well prepared you are, it shouldn't be considered an official start, right?
The official start should be counted from the moment you go out with the package. In terms of cultivation, it is also a condensation of qi, breaking through the threshold, and crashing into the portal of the veins.
In the secret records of the Lanshui Sect, there are predecessors who recorded that in ancient times, the monks discussed whether the condensation realm was considered a "monk".
There is no standard answer.
Nowadays, there are actually two sets of standards in the spiritual world.
The first set of standards, that is, among the three levels of the human level, the condensation realm is the first formal level.
And the second set of standards is that in a sect like the Lanshui Sect, the disciples of the sect will generally be officially listed and further hold positions in the sect only after they have entered the Tongmai realm.
And even if it is those small families below, most of them have people who have cultivated to reach the Tongmai realm, so that they can become their own family in the clan.
Even if you are from a side line, you can be promoted to the kind of master.
But in fact, no matter what, entering the Tongmai realm is a sign that is very worth mentioning.
In many families, when their children enter the Tongmai realm, they have to hold a feast.
Even in a place like Lanshui Sect, which elder or deacon or other disciple has advanced to the Tongmai, he will often invite some close people in the sect to get together and have fun, and by the way, he will also tell the outside world that my family is a baby, and the pulse is passed.
It's a bit of a "coming-of-age ceremony" for secular children.
Secular people, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, and twenty are "adulthood", and for cultivators, their adulthood is to step into the vein.
Before the passage of the pulse, it is generally forbidden for men and women to do things.
If a cultivator had a family before he had stepped into the Tong Mai, it would only mean one thing, and that was that neither he nor his elders had any intention of stepping into the Tong Maiden.
It can also be said that he has given up his practice.
Even if they are born in a cultivation family, this family, or this family, will only be treated as an ordinary family in the future.
For example, Zhuang Mingtang.
His father is a typical "unscrupulous child".
However, they are regarded as the descendants of the Zhuang family, and their status is arranged according to the "five generations", that is, the grandfather does not look at the father, the father does not look at the son, the son does not look at the grandson, and the grandson does not look at the great-grandson.
The environment can be said to be quite relaxed.
And to say so much, just to illustrate one thing, that is, the Tongmai Realm, in all families, sects, and even cultivators themselves, is an important level with milestone significance.
It is roughly similar to Xu Guangling's previous life, an ancient Chinese scholar in the examination of Jinshi.
Jinshi is not yet an official, but he is about to become an official.
After condensing the qi, before the pulse, there is a small "blank" period, and Xiao Xiu'er is now in this blank period.
Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao sat quietly on the edge of the bed and waited.
They don't know what they're waiting for.
It stands to reason that a grain of condensation disperses the great achievement of Xiao Xiu'er's condensation qi has completely exceeded their imagination, and now that Xiao Xiu'er has come to the Tongmai Realm, next, she always needs the secret method of the Tongmai Realm, right?
Xiao Xiu'er still doesn't know anything!
The truth is such a truth, but the hearts of the two of them still can't help but pound.
Just because Xiao Xiu'er is still sleeping!
If she sleeps normally, she should take a nap in the afternoon, wake up in the evening, and go back to sleep at night.
But now, it was late at night, and she had been sleeping soundly, showing no sign of waking up.
Is the practice of the Tongmai realm related to cards?
If you ask Nan Pingxiu this question, she will say, yes, and if you ask Shi Shao, she will say, yes.
Ask those elders and family heads of the Zhuang family in Qingshui City, and they will say, yes, of course!
Ask Zhuang Mingtang Zhuang Mingxuan's grandfather Zhuang Zhiqing, he will stare at his eyes with an incredible face, and this question should also be asked? Isn't this obvious, you are a fool, right?
Even if he asked Xu Yishan, he would probably ponder for a long time before replying, yes.
There should be!
Why is there one?
Just because no one can go from entering the vein to the whole vein in one go, they must go through a long-term, water-grinding process.
Pass a little bit today, and a little bit more tomorrow.
Day after day, year after year, I don't know how many years have passed, it may be more than 20 years, it may be more than 30 years, it may be more than 40 years and more than 50 years, and then, finally, the pulse is complete.
The completion of the pulse does not mean that all the veins in the body have been opened, but the qi and blood are so strong that they have finally opened the first pass!
As a disciple of the Heavenly Order, Xu Yishan took fifty-six years to walk this way!
It took twenty-four years for Nanping Xiu and twenty-nine years for Shi Shao.
This can be as short as twenty or thirty years or as long as fifty or sixty years, and for anyone, it is a kind of training and even suffering, and many cultivators need to face all kinds of things in the world, including starting a family, etc., and even if they concentrate on cultivation, they don't know when they will be able to clear the level.
Time span, that's too long!
Too long also means that the body, mind, mind, and will are all changing.
Three or five years or unconscious, looking back once in ten years, and looking back again in twenty years, it has long been very different from the beginning.
And these are all kinds of things, in fact, they can be regarded as "checkpoints".
But when you stand at a certain height and look at the cultivation of the Tongmai Realm, in fact, there is no level.
What is Tongmai?
It's just in the Qi Xing vein.
But the problem is that this vein is a channel, not a pipe.
How to say, the pipe, is like a chimney, the smoke enters from the bottom and comes out from the top, and the total amount of smoke in this process is constant, and the passage, that is, the chimney or the chimney, but there is water in the chimney, and when the smoke enters the channel, it will be absorbed by the water.
You have to have a lot of smoke coming in, letting the water absorb until it can't absorb it anymore, and then there's smoke coming out of the chimney.
That means that this vein has been opened.
In different cultivators' bodies, the chimney was roughly the same.
However, the "water" in the chimney is completely different, and there are great differences between different cultivators! In fact, this is also a part of the embodiment of the "talent" of cultivation.
The so-called talent, there is a figure in the condensation realm, and it is also in the Tongmai realm.
It will run through the entire human level and earth level cultivation.
After taking Condensation, Xiao Xiu'er kept sleeping and slept for many days.
In fact, if it was just condensing, it would not make Xiao Xiu'er sleep for so many days, and it would be so many days at a time.
The real reason is the "Little Five Elements Inner Refining True Form Diagram".
Method + condensation and dispersion, the first-class method between heaven and earth, plus the spiritual object (low-level) that is likely to be the first class between heaven and earth, under the combined effect of the two, Xiao Xiu'er's body has entered a certain realm of creation.
This condition, in the previous life, Xu Guangling did not, the two old men did not, Shen Xin did not, and Jun Changan did not.
And with the level of knowledge of Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao, they can't imagine what Xiao Xiu'er is experiencing.
No bells and drums, no hourglasses.
In this world, there are methods of timekeeping in the mundane world, and there are several different means, but for cultivators, they are not needed.
Any monk above the Pulse Realm can clearly locate any time of day.
From today to tomorrow, at the junction of the two days, Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao both looked nervous, looking at Xiao Xiu'er who was sleeping soundly on the bed with obvious abnormal attention.
However.
No anomalies!
The two didn't know whether to say that they were disappointed or that this was normal, and after looking at each other, they continued to wait quietly.
Little by little, time passed.
Until the whole night had passed, the glimmer of light had begun to shine through the windows.
Shi Shao stood up and was about to salute Nanping Xiu to say goodbye, she was going to go to the morning exercise, and then deal with the affairs of the sect, according to the situation in the previous days, she would come back at noon.
But just as she stood up, suddenly, she froze.
Nan Pingxiu was also stunned.
The next moment, both of them turned their heads and looked at Xiao Xiu'er on the bed.
Xiao Xiu'er was still sleeping quietly.
But the "quietness" at this time is completely different from the previous quietness!
At the moment when Shi Shao stood up, Xiao Xiu'er's small snoring that had been continuing suddenly stopped!
When the two were in shock, Xiao Xiu'er hung her right hand on the side of the bed, and scratched it with her five fingers, as if she wanted to grasp something.
Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao's eyes both moved here in an instant, and then, their faces all showed an indescribable expression.
Rather, there was a mixture of shock and disbelief.
