Chapter 349 True Cultivators and Ancient Martial Artists
"Haoran, the two people I met on the street today ......" Li Mengyao asked suspiciously.
"I know what you want to ask. Xia Haoran smiled and said, "Yaoyao, have you ever remembered that I told you before that we, like Zhao Ling'er, are all cultivators. However, we are not the same. ”
"Remember, that's what you said at the beginning, and you didn't explain why it's different. Li Mengyao nodded her little head and said sweetly.
"Yes. Xia Haoran nodded, and then said solemnly: "Yaoyao, what I want to say next is your husband and my biggest secret in the past ten years! Moreover, this is also the first time I have mentioned it to anyone other than me, even my parents don't know." So, I want you to be careful in the future, understand?"
"Huh?" Li Mengyao's surprised little hand covered her mouth and said in surprise: "That'...... Haoran, that one still doesn't ask, don't say it. ”
Although she said so, Li Mengyao's heart was full of sweetness and excitement at the moment. It seems that the other party still loves me very much and cares about me, so it is impossible to tell me such an important secret.
"It's okay, anyway, you are my destined wife in this life, so sooner or later I have to tell you about it, it's just a matter of time. Xia Haoran said with a smile: "You have cultivated so far, you should have guessed something in your heart, in this world, not only we humans can cultivate, right?"
"Well, I know a little bit about that. After Li Mengyao finished speaking, she didn't forget to glance at Xiaobai on the sofa on the side.
"All things have spirits. Theoretically, as long as certain conditions are met, any living being in nature can cultivate. For example, people cultivate the path of immortals, beasts cultivate the path of demons, plants and trees cultivate the path of nature, and wandering souls cultivate the path of ghosts...... Today I will only give you a general description of us human beings, and as for the rest, I will slowly give you more details in the future. ”
"Okay!" Li Mengyao nodded her little head and listened carefully.
At this time, even the little white classmate who was staring at him next to him also erected his big furry ears at this moment. Although it was very unpleasant with Xia Haoran before, it did not affect its eavesdropping posture.
"We cultivators are actually absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth, which is what we usually call aura, so as to constantly temper and strengthen ourselves, so as to obtain more powerful strength and longevity. However, according to the different emphasis of cultivation, it is divided into physical cultivation, Taoist cultivation and soul cultivation. ”
"Body Cultivation, Dao Cultivation, Soul Cultivation?" Hearing this, Li Mengyao muttered to herself a few times, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked surprised, and hurriedly said, "Could it be ......?"
Xia Haoran smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right! These three cultivation directions correspond to what we usually call 'essence and spirit'. Jing is essence and blood, which refers to the human body, qi is vitality, that is, our cultivation, and soul is divine consciousness, which is also called spiritual power, mental power, etc. ”
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Actually, the three treasures of 'Essence, Qi and Spirit' are the same and complementary. When any one of these treasures continues to grow stronger, the other two treasures will also continue to strengthen with cultivation. ”
Li Mengyao nodded, Xia Haoran's easy-to-understand explanation, she completely understood.
Xia Haoran continued: "But in terms of cultivation, there are Taoists and Buddhists, and from the perspective of cultivation and human nature, there are righteous paths and demons. Tao and Buddha, you should know, just like we have Taoism and Buddhism in our lives now with incense. As for the Tao and the Devil, you must know that in fact, there is no right or wrong in any matter or person in this world, and some are just different positions of the people involved. However, in terms of cultivation, there is still a general statement, that is, the heart is righteous for the common people, and selfishness, ignoring the common people in order to achieve one's own selfish desires, is a demon. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Haoran paused, and suddenly asked, "Yaoyao, you once asked me if I was an immortal, do you remember how I answered you at the beginning?"
"I'm not a god. However, I am walking on the road to the gods. Li Mengyao blurted out.
"That's right!" Xia Haoran nodded and said, "You know, there is a huge trench between ordinary people and us cultivators. Among them, the difference is not only strength, but also cognition, vision and many other abilities and means. However, there is also a huge trench between us cultivators and immortals. And those of us who are walking on the path to the immortals, there is a collective term called cultivators. ”
"Cultivator?" Li Mengyao wondered.
"Yes, we are called cultivators. Learn the Tao and practice, seek the true self, remove the false and keep the true!" Xia Haoran nodded affirmatively and continued: "However, with the sudden change of heaven and earth, the aura that cultivators can rely on is becoming thinner and thinner, coupled with many other man-made reasons, the cultivation civilization has gradually declined, and even some cultivation inheritances have been extinct one after another. ”
"And our sages, using their wisdom, after exploring and researching some ruins and reading a large number of classics, finally summarized and sorted out a new set of cultivation systems, called ancient warriors. The ancient martial arts system is divided into four major realms: the Yellow Order, the Xuan Level, the Earth Level, and the Heavenly Level. Each major realm is divided into three small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. From low to high, the realm is the early stage of the Yellow Order, the middle stage of the Yellow Order, and the late stage of the Yellow Order...... Until the late stage of the Heavenly Order. Of course, as for what else lies after the Heavenly Steps, no one knows, and no one has ever reached it. Having said all that, Yaoyao, now you should understand what the difference is between the ancient martial artists and our cultivators, right?"
"Uh......"
Li Mengyao tilted her head, thought for a while, organized the language in her mind, and then said: "Haoran, according to what you say, only our cultivation system is the most perfect, and there is still a glimmer of hope to become a legendary immortal at the end of cultivation." However, the ancient martial arts system was only summed up by later generations, and it was still a set of incomplete cultivation systems. Because, at most, the ancient martial artist will be gone when he cultivates to the heavenly level?"
"Hehe, yes! It is worthy of being my wife, and it is also worthy of being a talented girl who can be admitted to Huaxia University!" Xia Haoran gave a thumbs up, laughed and said, "Wife, what you said is completely correct. Of course, you can also regard our cultivation system as an ancient cultivation civilization, and the ancient martial arts system is a contemporary cultivation civilization. ”
"It is clear that the ancient martial arts system is incomplete. I told you before that the early stage of the Yellow Rank of the Ancient Martial System is equivalent to the first level of Qi cultivation in our cultivation system, and the middle stage of the Yellow Order is equivalent to the second level of Qi training...... The late stage of the Heavenly Rank is equivalent to the late stage of foundation building. And we cultivators have a lot of spells, magic weapons, and alchemy refining tools, but the ancient warriors don't have them; ”
"Now you should know what the difference is between Zhao Ling'er and us, right?" Xia Haoran smiled slightly: "She is now a mid-stage cultivator, that is, our fifth level of Qi cultivation. But as long as you break through to the foundation building period, you can learn a lot of spells, magic weapons, etc., but the ancient warriors don't have it. ”
"So that's the case!" Li Mengyao nodded and muttered.
After pondering for a long time, Li Mengyao suddenly asked, "Haoran, according to what you say, the ancient martial artist broke through the Heavenly Rank and cultivated to the end, what should I do in the end?"
Xia Haoran took a sip of the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "There are two choices: one is to wait for death slowly until the longevity is exhausted and the life is over." The first is to break its own shackles and form a golden pill!"
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Above the martial arts is the immortal path. But few people know this phrase, or no one knows it at all. You should have heard something from what I said earlier, the ancient martial arts system is only equivalent to a small step in the early stage of our cultivation system. If we compare our cultivation system to our entire academic career, then the ancient martial arts system is just a preschool class. Preschool is over, and it's time to start the first grade. It's just a transition, a transition from martial arts to immortal paths. However, understanding is one aspect, and there are very few who can do this. It's a qualitative jump, but the process is not an exaggeration to describe it as a carp jumping over the dragon gate!"
"Understood. Li Mengyao nodded.
"At the beginning, when my master taught me martial arts at the top of Huashan, he cautiously told me about this secret. Over the years, I have also traveled to countless places to investigate and covertly visit. I thought that I was the only cultivator in this world now, but I didn't expect that today I stumbled upon other cultivators besides me, and this is the reason why I am more shocked!"
"Ah, Haoran, you mean those two people who followed me......" Li Mengyao suddenly understood when she heard this.
No wonder, Xia Haoran obviously arrived but didn't show up, and he had to transmit the voice to himself, and asked him to ask for the names and phone numbers of the two people. At the time, she was still a little confused, but now she finally understands.
"Yes!" Xia Haoran said with emotion: "What did you originally think? However, unless this magic weapon is seen by other fellow cultivators, no one will be able to discover the difference between it at all, not even those ancient martial artists!"
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Today, these two people can feel the powerful aura on this bracelet, precisely because they are also cultivators. However, although they have all cultivated the cultivation of the true exercises, they are two parallel goods, and they have not even reached the first level of qi cultivation so far. Otherwise, you heard him say that he had seen similar treasures before, so he could feel the difference?
"Uh, that's true!"
Li Mengyao nodded, she finally understood. If the other person is just an ordinary person, even if you put hundreds or thousands of these bracelets in front of him, can they tell what is the same or different?
The answer is clearly no!
"That's why I asked you to leave their contact information. Originally, I thought that I was the only cultivator in this world, but I didn't expect to meet them today. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "Aren't they looking for someone to save their lives? And I, too, want to know about some cultivators from their mouths. ”
