1207 Take Control of Yourself? Easier said than done!
"This ...... Isn't it you......" Akon exclaimed, only to see that the stone sculpture was a knight with a long sword, and his appearance in armor and his mount and war horse were exactly the same as those of the ghost knight. Moreover, Akon could see that the obelisks scattered here were located at the top of the spire, so the wreckage was relatively small. It seems that the posture of this giant obelisk when it fell was the same as that of his own analysis. Sure enough, it broke off from the middle, and the top fell back.
"This is indeed my ......" Ghost Knight nodded, as if there was some sadness. It may not be pleasant for anyone to look at their own corpse after death. And this is not yet his own corpse, but a sculpture.
"You're standing at the top of the tower!" Akon was a little impressed by the ghost rider in front of him.
"There's nothing to ......celebrate," Ghost Knight said helplessly, "I'd rather live as well as you do." Since the Ghost Realm and the Asura Dao corrupted most of the Heroic Spirits, there are fewer and fewer souls left here with their own thoughts. Most of them only have a little bit of persistence left when they swore to protect the human world, and they are still persistent. The main body of the soul has long since defected to the various reincarnations......"
"The interception attacks you have encountered along the way are the persistence left behind by these deserters. There aren't many complete souls like me who still hold on a little bit......"
Akon asked, "There are only more than 20,000 people in our country of vow-keepers, and this monument is so huge. It can be called the top of the sky! How many souls do you need to forge this? But where are there so many vow-keepers? ”
"Vow-holders?" Ghost Knight was stunned, "Oh, you're mistaken. This monument is not entirely made up of the heroic spirits of the vow-holders. You see there are so many monsters and animals, they are not vow-bearers. As long as there is a heart and willingness to protect all living beings in the human world, they are the source of the soul of this monument. This is also the reason why the weishenme, the ghost realm and the demon realm are so easy to corrupt these souls. ”
"Those monsters and animals, although at the moment of battle, were angry for a moment and had a great vow, but after guarding them for decades, they became lazy. There are also many souls of ordinary human warriors who have died in reality, who have been drafted in the spirit war, and their patience is also limited. was coaxed by the ghost world and the demon world, so he gave up this difficult task and became a deserter. Only those who are true practitioners and some of those who are determined to take vows will be able to keep this vow. ”
Akon stuck out his tongue, "If you change me, I can't guarantee that I will stay here all the time......"
Ghost Knight laughed, "It's not easy, but it's not without its benefits. When we practice, we must be able to endure eternal loneliness and loneliness. In order to make the soul more thorough. Moreover, when you practice here, your soul is not alone. What makes you covet the path of samsara is the greed and impetuosity in your soul......"
Akon smiled and teased at Zhang Fan: "Our Master Zhang Fan must be willing, provided that Sister Green Wing also stays here...... Uh, and of course Sister Dark Sakura. ”
"You don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" Zhang Fan patted him on the head, turned back and asked Ghost Knight, "So how far is the pedestal of the 'Eternal Monument' from here?" Can you take us there? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, you're fighting the Yaksha King of the Ghost Realm, and you've already explained your identity." Ghost Knight knew the whereabouts of Zhang Fan's team on the outskirts of the square, perhaps because he had been lonely for too long, he chattered as he walked, "I also used to be a ring bearer, leading a large team alliance. Unfortunately, most of my comrades have died in battle...... Maybe one or two may still be alive, and it is not known if they have been freed from the precept bearer shijie......"
"Can you still break away from the precept bearer?" Zhang Fan immediately cheered up.
Ghost Knight looked at Zhang Fan and said affirmatively, "Of course you can, as long as you are strong enough...... Well, your team is one of the most haode I've ever seen, but it's still a long way from being freed from the vow-bearer, Shijie. If you can continue to grow, maybe you will have this opportunity......"
"What are the conditions for breaking away from the precept bearer? Or what standard is reached? "Akon gets to the point.
Ghost Rider thought for a moment and shook his head with a smile, "Maybe you don't want to know ......"
"Let's talk about it, we didn't expect much anyway...... Akon understood that the other might be afraid of scaring himself. Since this ghost knight can stand at the top of the tower of the 'Eternal Monument', there must be something powerful about him. The image he left on Akon was that he looked a bit like Lancelot, the leader of the team, although he dressed more like Eisen.
Ghost Knight looked at Akon, "You don't have to be presumptuous, you really are one of the most Haode teams I've ever seen. But no matter how good the team is, if you want to break away from the vow-bearer, Shijie also needs to be strong enough for the individual. Sometimes, the haode team makes the individual strength disappear. Because they rely too much on the team, their own abilities and temperament cannot be effectively trained. ”
"............" Akon was silent, it was indeed a problem, and he had thought about it. Ghost Rider's words are just another proof of this. Moreover, Ghost Knight must be an old qualified ring holder, and his words carry a lot of weight!
The group followed the Ghost Knight as they listened as he continued, "If you want to break away from the Ring Bearer, you must at least reach the realm of the Controller, and then you can hope to break free from the shackles of the ring!" ”
"Controller!" Zhang Fan Akon Xuanyuan Xing and Green Wing both exclaimed. Only the book demon still looked slow, as if he knew all this, or had nothing to do with him.
"And what level is the master?" Akon found that asking Shijie a very in-depth question here would not be punished by the ring, so he dared to ask it.
Ghost Rider also seems to be protected by some enchantment, and will not be affected by the forbidden enchantment of the ring bearer Shijie, "The level of the controllers is very difficult to say, but they are at least fourth-level guardians who have passed the four basic attributes of intelligence, understanding, forbearance, and concentration!" But a Level 4 Guardian doesn't have to be a Master! The so-called controller must be able to control himself, control his body, control his soul, and even control his own destiny. Because only those who can control themselves can control others! ”
Akon now knows how powerful his master is in the sloppy Taoist! Only those who are in full control of themselves can be called the master! Everyone has their own bad habits that they can't break, just like Akon can't control his mouth. Green Wing has strong endurance, but he can't stand the contempt of his opponents. The second-level guardian of Xuanyuan's concentration and forbearance, but he once said that he could not fully control his life breath and would be discovered by opponents who perceived his life force.
Not to mention Zhang Fan, although he is resident in the realm of 'no thought', his concentration is still not up to standard. Isn't the concentration of this meditation realm the same thing as the concentration standard of the precept holder shijie? However, Zhang Fan doesn't seem to be stronger than Aken in the face of the temptation of beautiful women, at least he has so many confidantes among the precept holders.
Take control! Easier said than done!
When Akon was practicing in Maoshan Mountain, he heard his uncle Maoshan Zhangjiao and Senior Brother Shouku preach that the first step in cultivating the Tao is to lay the foundation of the Dao. And the so-called Dao Ji is not just about cultivating the true fire of samadhi. More importantly, it is a foundation to be able to breathe and control your body completely! If you can't even control your body well, what kind of cultivation are you talking about? And how can you further cultivate your divine soul and then control your soul!
I can't control my soul, my mind is scattered, my desires are constant, I don't know what I'm doing, how can I control my own destiny! The ultimate goal of cultivation is to correct one's own destiny! And it all starts with correcting your behavior and controlling your body!
Take control of yourself? How easy is it to say?
Zhang Fan and the four of them were silent, and everyone understood the true meaning of the controller for the first time. At the same time, I understand why these controllers are powerful, and the root cause of their strength. As soon as the truth is revealed, it is actually very simple. The difficulty is how to do it yourself. As ordinary human beings, we can't even control our own involuntary shaking of our feet. When encountering things, I can't restrain my nervousness. It's hard to get angry and lose your temper when something doesn't go your way. When you encounter benefits, you can't press them if you don't see the joy of hunting.
Take control of yourself?! How easy is it to say?!
Akon took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued to ask, "You mean, even if you reach the level of a controller, you still can't necessarily break free from the shackles of the ring-bearer, Shijie?" ”
The Ghost Knight seemed to be a little distracted, and after a long while, he said to everyone: "The master is just the foundation for getting rid of the sea of suffering, if you want to get rid of the curse of the 'Qiankun Ring' and get rid of the shackles of the ring bearer, you must surpass the controller and surpass yourself!" Because the person in control is only understanding and controlling himself. If you don't break through yourself and surpass yourself, how can you get rid of yourself?! ”
"Shhh In the past, Shijie often heard the slogan of "break through yourself, surpass yourself". It's like a company's self-motivation. But under the decomposition of this ghost knight, I know how difficult it is to truly surpass oneself! Even advanced cultivators find it difficult to control themselves, so how can they transcend themselves! In this world, there are not many people who can even control themselves, where can they surpass themselves?
While everyone was talking, they had already arrived at a place. I saw a very wide platform in front of me. It is said that it is a high platform, and that is because of the introduction of Ghost Knight. But in everyone's eyes, it's a high mountain. A pyramid-shaped mountain with cones on all sides! If it weren't for the darkness of the spiritual realm, everyone at the edge of the square would have been able to see this tall mountain very clearly!
