Chapter 4: The Life of a Child
Before crossing over, Lin Mo had read many fairy tales and monster stories, and had a subjective definition of a boy - cannon fodder for the master or sect to prevent disasters.
It's no joke. Whether it is the boy who was shot to death by Nezha in Shiji Niangniang in the Romance of the Gods, or the female ghost who was played by the tree demon grandmother in Strange Tales (the status of this female ghost is equivalent to a child), just in the current Journey to the West world, aren't those monster cave masters just killing three or five boys casually? The low status of the boy and the miserable treatment of the boy need no more to say!
But in Fangcun Mountain, the situation is completely different. The treatment is unbelievable.
I got up at about four o'clock in the morning, went to the mountainside to fetch water and came back, and watered the spiritual grass planted in the south garden of the cave. Pick the ripe part of it and take it to the North Garden to feed the cranes and bluebirds and other spirit birds.
At about five o'clock, it takes fifteen minutes to prepare breakfast. This work is not big, because the realm of Fangcun Mountain is not enough and there are not many people who still need food, and even the other five Dao Tong, there are only twelve people in total. The five boys worked collectively and it was done in no time.
Then after breakfast, he and the disciples of Fangcun Mountain, who had completed the morning class, gathered at Yaotai to listen to the sermon of Patriarch Su Bodhi. At this time, the disciples can sit in their seats, and the boy will stand aside.
It was close to noon when the sermon ended, and the disciples dispersed while Lin Mo went to prepare the meal.
There was no preaching in the afternoon, and the disciples went to practice, while Lin Mo needed to spend two hours cleaning the pavilions, sorting out the sundries, and cleaning up. Thanks to the fact that Fangcun Mountain is a fairy cave, the dust is not stained, and the dirt is not dirty, and this work is not cumbersome, but more of a patrol around the meaning.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and by six o'clock there were still three hours to prepare the meal, which was free time, which the children could use for their spiritual practice.
Wait until six o'clock to prepare the meal, send it to the disciples who need it, and feed the spirit birds again, it will be about seven o'clock. At this time, I need to visit the senior brother Qinglingzi and ask if there is any special work to be explained. Generally speaking, no, at least for the rest of the month, Qing Lingzi has only explained once, or because Sun Wukong Lin Mo is new to the beginning, he needs to prepare bedding and oil lamps and other sundries.
After completing the special instructions of the light spirit, the day's work will be completely over. The rest of the time is completely free time, whether it's playing, or practicing, it's all up to you. As long as you go to bed at 10 p.m. according to the rules, no one will tell you that you are not.
That's what Lin Mo does in a day's work. Very ordinary, but very happy job!
There is no need to block any calamities and five tribulations for the disciples of the sect, and they will not be taken by the head of the sect elders to refine the blood demon weapon spirit, and the most important thing is that the collection of books and sermons in Fangcun Mountain are open to children...... Lin Mo was sincerely glad that he was a boy from Fangcun Mountain! And not what the boy of the lion camel ridge Che Chi country!
In the evening of that day, after asking for instructions from Qing Lingzi, Lin Mo, who had no more work, sat on a boulder in the east courtyard and breathed deeply in the face of the sunset.
"Xianjia Cave Mansion is amazing, just take a breath, I feel that my body is half lighter, and the environment nourishes my body."
After more than a month, except for the first two days when he was a little tired and uncomfortable, Lin Mo later easily coped with the boy's work. He's pretty sure he's much healthier than when he first arrived! Not to mention anything else, the eyes that are short-sighted for 200 degrees are completely normal! Not to mention the sore spine left by years of studying, it was healed early!
Patting his solid chest, Lin Mo's heart was on fire: "In a few days, I will be able to officially start cultivating!" ”
Cultivation is not a simple matter, the first thing you need is a strong body. The physically abused and weak people are like a leaky ball, even if they cultivate a flower, they can only leak out, and there is no effect. Although Lin Mo didn't have any serious illnesses, his body was weak, and he was inferior to the mortal Zhao San, so he naturally needed a period of cultivation.
At this point, Sun Wukong is extremely talented, this monkey is born and raised, and he doesn't need to do any preparation, just start practicing! And the progress is incredible! In just one month, Lin Mo's cultivation of the foundation of the physical body has not yet been completed, and this monkey's cultivation has already surpassed two or three senior brothers!
"Okay, this monkey is not an ordinary person, so don't think about it......"
Lin Mo, who was deeply shocked every time he thought of this, took out a copy of "The Interior of the Yellow Court" from his arms and began to study it.
This is the second preparation before the practice: the accumulation of spiritual knowledge. Without knowledge, it is useless to say anything. "Swallow Yuying with gargling gold. What does it mean to not starve and die"? What is "the heart is always and to Xinchang, the clouds of the five mountains are Pahang"? Don't understand? I don't know how you practice?
This is an extremely headache for Lin Mo. No way, how can a modern person understand this? He didn't know where the upper and lower dantian were, let alone this more advanced thing? So in desperation, Lin Mo could only spend all his free time on learning knowledge!
There are many other similar preparations, such as the correct practice method, the ability to support the spiritual teachers or elders, these are also very important necessities, and even more difficult to find than physical fitness and knowledge. However, for Lin Mo, who is in Fangcun Mountain, these are not problems.
And after the practice begins, it is necessary to understand the division of the cultivation realm. After surviving the three tribulations, the realm of immortals is too far away, and not to mention it, the human monks who have not yet escaped from the mundane are roughly divided into four stages, namely refining qi, refining gods, turning gods, and returning to the void.
In the Qi refining stage, the monk's body has already generated mana, which can not only give birth to the physical body acupoints, but also run around the body with the meridians, and then use the talisman seal to manipulate the magic weapon. But at this time, mana cannot be released, nor can it fly in the flesh.
In the stage of refining the gods, the monk's mana is full, and the physical body has been conceived to a peak, not only can he break away from the confinement of the physical body, make physical flights, and other behaviors, but also infiltrate the divine soul and begin to nourish the three souls and seven spirits.
The stage of transforming into a god goes further, at this time the soul has grown enough to be able to leave the body, and the soldiers can take away others or the soul flies out to kill the demon, which is something that can only be done at this time. But it is worth noting that the soul at this time is still relatively weak, not only can it not stay outside for a long time, but the masculine power of thunder and fire or the yin and evil qi of the underworld can also cause damage to the soul!
As for the stage of returning to the void, it is the last step to get rid of the mundane. A thought is a spell born suddenly, and a thought is a soul to fly, the so-called 6 true immortals, this is the kind of realm.
After Lin Mo first learned about this, he was extremely longing for the stage of returning to the void, after all, this was the appearance of the omnipotent immortal in the myth, and he only hoped that he could quickly become this kind of 6 Earth True Immortal. But as the days passed, the requirements became lower and lower, and I descended from turning into a god to refining a god, and now, I only hope that I can lay a good foundation as soon as possible and start real cultivation.
"What's going on with your thoughts, keep working hard!"
Shaking his head, Lin Mo re-devoted all his energy to the "Yellow Court Interior Scene Sutra" in his hand.
Once a person devotes himself wholeheartedly to something, time flies very quickly. Lin Mo was like this, another month passed, and when Ling Leizi appeared in front of him, he still wondered what was wrong.
"You don't have to do anything tomorrow." Ling Leizi said: "Your physical foundation is sufficient, you can start cultivating!" ”
Lingleizi is a boy who specializes in taking care of the patriarch of Su Bodhi, and his status is one of the boys, except for the light Lingzi, the disciples of other Fangcun Mountain also respect him. He was the Taoist boy who opened the door to Lin Mo and Sun Wukong that day.
According to the rules of Fangcun Mountain, the disciples are managed by the senior brother Qinglingzi, and the miscellaneous affairs such as the boy and the spirit bird are managed by the Lingleizi, which even includes the cultivation of the children.
Lin Mo reacted to what was going on, and was immediately overjoyed: "Then senior brother, will I go to you tomorrow morning, or will I go to the cloud platform to wait for you?" ”
Yuntai is a wide platform on the edge of a cliff where disciples spend most of their time meditating and practicing except for solitary retreat. If you have any questions about your practice, you can always discuss them.
Ling Leizi looked strange and said, "No, it's not me." ”
Lin Mo was puzzled: "Huh? ”
"The patriarch has an order, and he orders you to go to your residence early tomorrow morning to pay a visit!"
"Huh?" Lin Mo opened his mouth wide: "Senior brother, what does this mean?" ”
Ling Leizi raised his eyes, and the meaning in his eyes was extraordinary: "It means that the ancestor personally led you to practice!" ”
