031 On Friends (1)
Every time the White Stone Cave Heaven is a grand event in the cultivation world. At this time, the monks who came from all over the world not only to participate in the White Stone Cave Heaven, after all, there were only a few people who could participate in the White Stone Cave Heaven, and most of them were just to see if there was some opportunity, such as worshipping someone under the door, or everyone communicating directly.
Look at Lin Heng, not long after he walked up the mountain road, he saw two monks coming from behind, and the two of them talked as they walked, talking about exchanging cultivation experience with some people and making up for their own shortcomings. When Lin Heng heard this, his heart was moved, and he stepped forward and bowed to the two of them: "Two fellow Daoists, I don't know where the exchange meeting you are talking about will be held?" ”
Hearing this, the two of them stopped, looked Lin Heng up and down with their eyes, and one of them said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, this exchange meeting is not a formal exchange meeting, just everyone gets together and discusses with each other the problems they encounter when cultivating. Look there......" the man pointed to a mountain range, "there is a valley where many people have dug caves, and you will know the truth when you have passed." ”
"Thank you both!" Lin Heng hugged his fists.
"Daoist friends are polite. If you don't dislike it, how about being with me? The man said again.
Lin Heng thought for a while, nodded in response, followed the two of them, and walked towards the mountain together. On the way, through conversation, Lin Heng knew that the two of them were two casual cultivators, one of them was a monk from Xuzhou, and he was from the same place as Lin Heng, but it was a pity that his qualifications were not good, and he had cultivated for more than 200 years now, and he had been married for 20 years, and it was even more difficult to make progress.
The other person is the local loose cultivator Qian Li, and the general Xuzhou scattered cultivator Zhao Quan, they are all monks with poor qualifications, but for various reasons, they have advanced to Jindan monks. Compared with Zhao Quan, this person is older, but he has also been in the Jindan period for a long time, more than fifty years.
The two have known each other for more than 100 years. I've known each other since the foundation building period, and I've worked together a few times during this period, so I'm a very good friend.
Of course, these are their introductions, and the specific Lin Heng is not clear, and he is really unconvincing when he says that he is a very good friend in the cultivation world, because there are many people who have been stabbed in the back by their friends and have no place to die, and he doesn't want to be one of them.
The three of them quickly entered the valley. Lin Heng looked around at the mouth of the valley, and from a distance, he could see the holes on the surrounding mountain walls, and on the mountain road, there were many figures walking back and forth, and the only thing that was surprising was probably that there was no sound. It is said that in a place with so many people, it must be noisy, but in the cultivation world. Everyone speaks quietly, and many of them even talk in a voice, just like in this valley, although there are footsteps. But there was no voice to speak.
"Brother Lin, look at that mountain road......" Qian Li pointed to the mountain road, Lin Heng didn't know what he meant, but he still looked at it seriously. It was found that the mountain road has two floors and the cave has three floors. "At the bottom, these are the places where the Qi cultivation period monks communicate. In the middle is the monk of the foundation building period, and above is the monk of the Jindan period. ”
"Aren't there any infancy monks?" Lin Heng didn't want to blurt it out, but as soon as the words came out, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, this question didn't need to be answered with Qian Li.
Yuan Infant Monk is respected as a Great Monk in the cultivation world, why? Maybe the first reason that comes to your mind is strength, but that's not the case. Do you think, every time a monk takes a step, his strength will increase greatly, if he is honored as a great monk just because of his strength, is that possible? Apparently impossible. The real reason why he was honored as a great monk in his infancy was because of the Yuan Shen.
What is the purpose of the monk's cultivation? Become an immortal, live forever! The primordial spirit condensed in the infancy period is the first step to immortality. If the body of Jin Dan and Zhuji monks is broken, it is equivalent to death, but the Yuan Infant Monk is different, as long as the Yuan Infant is not destroyed, it can be regenerated. In the realm of the Yuan Infant Stage, it is not a matter to break an arm or a leg, even if it is broken and half-stretched, there is no problem, that is, the entire body has become ashes, and it can still be reborn.
This is the ability of the primordial gods, which initially has the characteristics of immortality and immortality. Of course, if the original baby is destroyed, it will only be reincarnated.
This is the reason why the infant monk is called the Great Monk. How could such a monk, who was already a high-ranking monk and was revered by countless people, come here to gather?
Qian Li saw Lin Heng's expression and knew that he had reacted, chuckled lightly and did not speak, but communicated softly with Zhao Quan, the two talked for a while, and said to Lin Heng: "Brother Lin, these three floors are all places where Jindan period monks gather, if you have acquaintances, you can go and look for it, if not, you can enter a cave at will and communicate with the monks inside." ”
Lin Heng nodded, Qian Li's words meant that he was going to be separated from Lin Heng, he understood, and he didn't force it. Hugging the two of them again, Lin Heng took the lead in stepping on the mountain road and went straight to the third floor.
On the third floor of the mountain, there are hundreds of caves, some of which have been forbidden by people, and Lin Heng cannot enter, while some of them are directly open with empty doors, and there is a faint sound of conversation coming from inside.
Lin Heng randomly chose an open cave and walked in. As soon as he entered, he felt the eyes of the people in the cave focus on him, and immediately smiled at everyone and saluted with his fists. Everyone also returned the salute, and one of them invited Lin Heng to sit down.
Sitting on the spare stone bench, Lin Heng glanced at the people in the cave. In this cave, there were five people, and counting him was six, and each of the six sat on a stone bench, and there were three stone benches to spare.
"Colleagues, I don't think we have to wait, let's start communicating right away, how about it?" One person seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and couldn't help but speak.
The other five people all nodded, and one of them slapped on the cave, opening the prohibition at the entrance of the cave, and isolating everyone from the world outside. Everyone sat in the cave, staring at each other, but none spoke first. This atmosphere was a little depressing, and it was unbearable, but it was the person who spoke just now, and he couldn't help but say again: "Friends, I know that everyone is not familiar with the Tao, and there are some considerations. But we're here to solve our own problems, and if we don't speak out, how can we solve them? Okay, since everyone doesn't talk about it, then I'll talk about it first......"
"I am an early Jindan monk, and I have been in this realm for more than fifty years, and I have never felt like a breakthrough. We are all monks of the same period, and I believe that many of you have encountered problems like mine, and if you know the reason for the Tao, please do not hesitate to give advice. ”
After this person finished speaking, he sat down, his eyes roamed on the faces of several people, mainly staring at the two monks in the middle and late stages of Jindan, they had already broken through, and they should know the reason.
The two glanced at each other, and one of them said to a few people: "Cultivators like us are slow to advance, and they are generally restricted by qualifications, exercises, comprehension, mana, and other reasons, and cannot break through quickly, and there are some bottlenecks among them, which will get stuck in cultivation. Every realm has this bottleneck, such as the Qi training period to the foundation building period, the foundation building period to the Jindan period, and so on. The breakthrough of the realm is a big bottleneck, and there are various small bottlenecks during the period, which is the problem that this Taoist friend said. ”
"To break through the small bottleneck, it is not as difficult as everyone thinks, as long as the mana is mellow, the body is strong, and the spirit is transparent. In the Jindan period, the spirit is more important. I can't answer this Taoist's question clearly, but I won't get rid of these reasons, as long as you think about it carefully, you will definitely gain something. ”
"Thank you!" The man was overjoyed and hugged his fists in thanks. When other people saw this, they all raised their own questions one by one, whether they were exercises or supernatural powers, all kinds of questions, which opened Lin Heng's eyes.
"Friend, are you okay?" Just as Lin Heng was sitting there listening carefully, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Slightly surprised, he looked sideways to his side, and the person sitting to his left nodded slightly.
'It's a woman! ’
This person is dressed in black and has a veil on his face, which makes people unable to see her face clearly, and people who don't know can't judge her gender, but as soon as she speaks, Lin Heng knows that she is a woman.
"The question that everyone asks is pretty much my question. I have only just entered the Jindan realm, and I have not encountered many problems. Lin Heng also replied with a voice.
The woman quickly transmitted her voice again and said, "Is Daoyou also a newcomer to the Jindan stage?" Then I don't know if you know the problems that need to be paid attention to in the Jindan period? ”
The questions asked by the woman were very basic and extensive, like the ones you asked just now, but they also included this question.
Lin Heng thought for a moment and replied: "I think that when I first enter the Jie Dan, I should pay attention to stabilizing my cultivation, and then I will be mellow Jindan, refining my body and condensing my spirit, just like what the man said just now." ”
He didn't answer much, just borrowed the man's words just now, and said it roughly. The woman listened, but she didn't speak, she seemed to be thinking, and Lin Heng was also guessing the origin of the woman.
This woman would ask such a question, she should be a casual cultivator, and she is also a loner, otherwise she would not have understood these questions.
Just when everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a bell suddenly sounded in the cave, several people were stunned, and the words stopped abruptly, and not long after, the monk of the late Jindan stood up excitedly, and the others looked at him inexplicably. He did not hide it either, and explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening bell, which means that there are monks in their infancy preaching in the valley. ”
"The Infant Monk preached!"
The five of them were stunned at first, and then they became as happy as he was. A few people quickly exited the cave and looked out into the valley below. There, I don't know when a high platform was erected, there was a middle-aged monk on the high platform, and next to the monk stood a young disciple, there was a Jindan period cultivator, and he shook a bronze bell in his hand, and the bell rang from here.
"Several, let's go and listen to the sermons of our seniors." The late Jindan monk suggested it, and then took the lead in flying down, and the five of them followed one after another. All around, the monks in the cave came out one by one, and after they figured out what was going on, they all quickly jumped off the cliff, came to the front of the round platform, respectfully done, and waited for the infant monk to preach.
