Chapter 174: Heart Refining Road (4k words)
This sudden change in topography has attracted the attention of countless people.
Tianzhu Mountain is 3,333 zhang and 3 feet high, and this road stretches from the foot of Tianzhu Mountain to the top of Tianzhu Mountain and the avenue of Tongtian in front of the Daode Palace, there are 9,999 steps, each step is one meter high on the blue star.
Such a step, not so much "across", but "climbing", although Tianzhu Mountain has its own magic circle, accompanied by divine energy, even if it is a mortal person with no power to restrain the chicken on the top of the 10,000-meter-high mountain, the natural environment will not have any oppressive power for him, but just want to reach the top of the mountain along such a mountain road, it is still a huge burden, and it can even be said to be a basically unreachable degree.
Except for a few of these newly recruited disciples who had practiced before worshipping the Initiation Sect, the others had at most been taught some basic methods of refining and refining qi by a few outer sect elders in the previous two months or so, and they couldn't even say that they had advanced to the level of inducing qi into the body.
Even for those disciples who are not from ordinary families and have begun to practice, since the vast majority of sects and families are only in the early stage of laying a foundation for disciples, they generally do not start formal cultivation until they reach a certain age, so they are only in the early stage of qi induction, and they have barely stepped into the threshold.
As for those with higher cultivation, there is already a certain degree of cultivation stereotype, and this assessment of Da Chitian will not be recruited.
According to Jiang Chen's original consideration, in the initial assessment, if there are really people with very high talents, even if they practice different methods and need to spend some effort and time to change cultivation, then they can be completely accepted, but unfortunately among this group of people, Li Wanqing, who has the highest qualifications, is not particularly outstanding, so this statement is naturally useless.
"Isn't this road to heaven a test of our perseverance and endurance?"
Although many new disciples didn't know how high and long this avenue to heaven was, they had been shocked into their hearts from the majestic staircase that could not be seen from the edge, and they couldn't help but start to guess in their hearts one by one.
"This path is the path I opened with the spell of God, and it is called the path of refining the heart!"
Lin Fan stood in front of the first step and explained the relevant information of this Heavenly Avenue to many new disciples in a loud voice.
"Refining the Heart Road, there are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine levels, each level, three feet three inches high, all the way straight to the front of the De Palace!"
Before going straight to the Hall of Virtue?
The hearts of many disciples sank, it was on the top of Tianzhu Mountain!
Even if they are all outer disciples, they can also understand some general information about their own sect Da Chitian in the previous teachings, this Tianzhu Mountain, but it is more than 3,000 zhang high, how can no cultivator be able to climb it?
Many people, tilting their heads slightly, began to look at the disciples around them.
They thought that this majestic mountain, they had no chance to reach the top, and it was estimated that other people would definitely not have this ability, just like the previous Nine Palaces Bagua Array, the highest was only ninety-three layers, and it was 108,000 miles away from being completely broken, so what needed to be compared was with these other new disciples.
To enter the inner gate, it is not necessary to climb to the top, as long as the climb is higher than the vast majority of people, it should be enough.
"The only function of this heart refining path is to torture your heart to the Dao!"
Lin Fan didn't care about how these disciples below behaved in the words just now, and continued to talk on his own.
"Seeking the way is a thousand difficulties and dangers, and there are endless disasters. The Red Emperor, one of the ancestors of our human race, once said, "This endless path of cultivation is to struggle with the heavens, with endless joy, with the earth, with endless joy, with people, with infinite joy! Some people, in the face of difficulties and obstacles on the path of cultivation, can still keep their original intentions, be brave and diligent, and eventually achieve great achievements, while some people will be broken and lost among everyone under endless difficulties!"
"These three thousand zhang heart refining path is to torture your heart, and ask your heart to the Tao, how much hardship can it withstand?"
"If you don't have a clear Dao heart, even if you have amazing talents, are unparalleled in the world, have a good understanding, and become enlightened overnight, you are just a mediocre person!"
“......”
..................
?? Lin Fan's words to the new disciples were completely taken from Jiang Chen's previous teachings to them, and at this time, they drew gourds one by one.
And in the Hall of Morality, one after another Purple Mansion Cultivators and even Land Immortals all showed a look of deep approval when they heard the words coming from the water curtain.
This passage is really true. ”
An earth immortal put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed softly.
A generation of young cultivators, hundreds of people on the list, and in the end, many people, even if they did not fall into various crises, only stopped at the realm of Danyuan, but some people with average cultivation qualifications, but with firm Dao hearts, step by step, and finally became a late bloomer, successfully realized the true meaning of the Dao, opened up the Purple Mansion, and became a famous place and an elder.
The heart of the Tao is not like qualifications, comprehension, qualifications, understanding, etc., if there are strange things in heaven and earth, it is not that there is no hope of improvement, and the heart of the Tao depends on itself!
However, many people are still on the long path of cultivation, and their hearts to the Tao are covered with dust, and they finally stop halfway, and their vigor is gone, even if they are still admired by the younger generations, but for the path of cultivation, they are just a dry bone in a mound still living in the world.
Even land immortals, many of them have lost the enlightened Dao heart that they just embarked on on the path of cultivation and have stopped moving.
Of course, correspondingly, there are also some cultivators who, when they first began to practice, were not firm in their desire to the Dao, but under the tempering of various variables in the follow-up, they sharpened their minds and embarked on a new path.
This originated from a passage from Lin Fan's mouth, which made the strong cultivators present recall their past cultivation one by one, some nodded with a smile, and some couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"I don't know, what is the Dao heart of these little guys, if the Dao heart is insufficient, unless there are big variables in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything. Wu Ming picked up a fiery red spirit jujube and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Heavenly Lord Jiang, I didn't expect that your sect would have such a means that could be used to test the Dao Heart. ”
The matter of the Dao Heart is too illusory, not some great horror, great danger, great difficulty, etc., can be tested, but to make a person empathize, some people may be bold, or naturally calm, or some other personal reasons, many illusions are not so good, after all, it is the Dao Heart to be tested, not simply to use the illusion to confuse these little guys.
Moreover, the things of the Dao heart may change at any time due to various things in the world, so how to detect it is a big problem for each faction.
Some sects, it is not uncommon to find a disciple with excellent talent and outstanding understanding, and strive to cultivate, but finally find that there are flaws in the Taoist heart, it is not uncommon, even in the final heart of Buddhism, there are often mistakes and omissions, and it is only in the later stage that it is found that the temperament is paranoid, and at this time, the early stage of the "investment" has been smashed, so you can only helplessly consider trying to make up for it with various methods, and the resources and energy consumed are too great, not to mention that it may not be successful.
"It's not worth it when you occasionally come to enlightenment. Jiang Chen smiled faintly and did not answer the implied curiosity of Wu Ming and the others.
The Dao Heart is the top priority of cultivation, and the Asking Heart Hall in the Ninefold Main Hall is specially designed for refining the Dao Heart, and is ranked among the four inner halls, and this heart refining road is opened by Jiang Chen through observing some of the mysteries in the Asking Heart Palace, if you let other sects and families know that there is such a hall in the Great Red Sky that can wash the Dao Heart from time to time, it will be the same as the Asking Dao Hall in the four inner halls, and you can easily "see" the stars of the Great Dao, I don't know how many people will be blushing.
..................
"Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three zhang heart refining road, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, the higher you climb, the stronger your heart to the Dao, if you can complete this heart refining road, then I will have one more little junior brother, little junior sister. ”
Lin Fan said to the many disciples below, it can be regarded as drawing a cake.
These new disciples at the bottom also knew that this was something that was impossible to achieve at all, and they all just hoped that they could take a few more steps on the road of refining their hearts and be able to worship the inner door.
"Alright, no need to gossip, let's get on the road now!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Fan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and indifferent to change his words.
"Get on this path of heart refining!"
Due to the speed of the supplement, many disciples did not notice the abnormality and were still engrossed.
"The assessment of this level, regardless of the number of people, directly everyone starts to break together, if anyone can't walk, it is a failure!"
"Prepare and go!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Fan dodged and returned to Ye Qinglin's side, while many disciples leaned towards the Heart Refining Road, ready to start climbing.
The path of heart refining is very wide, even if there are dozens of people walking at the same time, it will not seem too crowded, and these disciples only need to stagger the climbing time slightly, and there will be no person-to-person situation.
However, as soon as there are many people, they have a herd mentality, and many disciples don't think much about being the first to go up, if you look at me and I look at you.
Like qualifications, understanding, and the like, those are real things, there is something, there is nothing, but the Dao heart is something that cannot be seen or touched, these young people who come to worship the Great Red Heaven, one by one, feel that they must be determined in their cultivation and will achieve something, who wants to admit that they are worse than others in the Dao heart?
Even, many people still hold the idea that "my level of qualification and understanding is not enough, and it is extremely difficult to enter the inner door, so I can only rely on the Taoist heart to fight".
In this way, there are fewer people who are naturally willing to go up first, and they all want to see more about other people's situations and find out if there is anything that can help them, even if it is to take one or two more steps, that is good!
"Even if you take a walk to refine your heart, you are so timid, how can you talk about the heart of the Tao?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and without looking at others, he jumped up first, stepped over three feet and three inches, and jumped up the first staircase.
"Gu Yang?"
"This guy ......"
Many people frowned when they saw the source of this "mockery" statement.
There were only more than 200 new disciples in total, and after almost two months of getting along, each of them knew some people and formed a small circle that was not very obvious.
And this Gu Yang has a cold temperament, acts withdrawn, and does not fit into even any circle.
And when he was in Qingcheng Mountain, no matter what he did, he was dressed in black and had a knife tied around his waist, and it was not until today's opening event that he changed into the same outfit as others, which made almost all the new disciples know him.
"Brother Zhou, this kid ......"
Wang Fucheng shook his round body, and looked at Gu Yang who had climbed the first step of the ladder unhappily.
Everyone is a new disciple, what kind of majesty are you pretending!
"Fucheng, what Senior Brother Gu Yang said makes sense. Looking at Wang Fucheng's righteous indignation, Zhou Xiao smiled faintly, "If you don't even dare to break through the path of refining your heart, what kind of Dao heart is firm? Let's go, let's also climb the road of refining your heart." ”
After speaking, Zhou Xiao took the first step and walked towards the road of heart refining.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, wait for me!" Seeing this, Wang Fucheng could only shout and hurriedly followed.
Zhou Xiao is the only one among these new disciples who has reached the fourth level of understanding, belonging to the type that everyone is looking forward to, seeing him move, many people who are still frowning at Gu Yang have set off, and all of a sudden, more than twenty people who have confidence in themselves rushed towards the heart refining road.
Seeing that dozens of people went up at once, the others were not in a hurry to leave, and planned to spend a little while, and then continue to climb up after these people went up the light for a while and vacated the place.
The illusion of the first ladder was a very superficial test, and more than twenty people barely made any effort, only slightly stagnant, and all of them successfully broke through and climbed the second ladder.
Then, the second, the third...... All the way to the tenth.
"Huh?"
Zhou Xiao jumped up the tenth stairs, and his body felt a slight sense of fatigue, but at this time, he felt a warm current flowing into his body, and his spirit was completely restored in an instant.
I see...... He nodded.
If they weren't able to recover from time to time, these new disciples would probably not be able to climb much after climbing a lot, and even if they could break through the difficulties of that ladder, they would not have the strength to continue climbing.
He glanced at Wang Fucheng, who was still on the seventh step of the staircase, with his eyes closed and covered with cold sweat, and continued to turn his head and climb up.
..................
"Yes, if you don't even dare to break in, what can you talk about? ”
Gu Yang's words naturally also spread through the water curtain to the Hall of Morality, attracting the praise of some cultivators.
"Brother Xue Dao's words are reasonable, between me, this little guy ...... Huh?"
Just when a strong cultivator who was familiar with him was about to make peace, suddenly there was a change in the water curtain, which stopped his words and made the group of cultivators have a strange look on their faces.
I saw that Gu Yang, who was the first to embark on the path of heart refining, stopped at the seventeenth step.
