Chapter 20: Cultivating the Mind
Early the next morning, after finishing the morning class, King's Landing rushed to Song Yu's room, wanting to call Song Yu to get up and eat. And Song Yu's habit of being a night owl has always been very late, maybe he will be able to have lunch when he wakes up
When I got to the door, Song Yu had already gotten up, sitting on the bed facing east and was spitting, King's Landing was not in a hurry to enter, and only knocked on the door to enter after he finished running for a short week. After telling him about the meal, the two of them rushed to the dining hall together.
"Well..... Do you feel like throwing up and feeling light and fluttering right now?" said King's Landing as he walked along the road, suddenly.
After Song Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "Can this be heard too?"
"Actually, because of the root bones, everyone can absorb a limited amount of spiritual power every day, so they only need to practice for nine weeks in the morning every day, and practicing more will hinder their cultivation. King's Landing was walking while popularizing these cultivation knowledge with Song Yu.
"???," Song Yu put on a question mark face and asked, "How can you practice too much and hinder your cultivation to improve?"
"It's the same as eating, you're already full, what will happen if you force food into it?"
"Will you spit it out?"
"Yes, it will vomit out, and it will also hurt the esophagus and stomach, and the same is true for cultivation, excessive cultivation will not only not absorb more spiritual power, but will harm one's body and bones. King's Landing said, standing still and looking at Song Yu and said, "I don't know what happened to you in the past, causing you to need strength so urgently, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, if you take me as a friend, you might as well say it and see if I can help you." ”
Song Yu looked at King's Landing's sincere eyes and just wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered that the pupils of the monster in the dream were the same as when King's Landing came down from the sky to save him that day, and it could turn into a yin and yang fish that flowed non-stop, so when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly swallowed them back, and said with a slight smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I was a little curious when I first came into contact with this yesterday, and now I know that I won't be in the future." ”
King's Landing stared at Song Yu for a few seconds before shaking his head, not speaking, and walking straight to the dining hall.
Song Yu took two steps and took one step to catch up with King's Landing, and then asked, "Then you guys, you usually practice a morning class, what will you do in the rest of the time." ”
"Reading books, playing chess, practicing swordsmanship, and making decisions...... The main thing is actually to cultivate the mind. ”
"Mind cultivation? Like those novels, if you can't reach the state of mind, you can't control the energy in your body?"
"No, cultivation is my own daily practice, and water droplets come through the stones, how can I not control my energy. I ...... about cultivating the mind," King's Landing thought for a moment and threw a question to Song Yu: "If you have been a cultivator since you were a child, and after you have achieved cultivation, ordinary people in the world will be as weak as ants to you, can you still get along with ordinary people normally and treat them as human beings instead of ants? If you are short of money and women, will you still be like ordinary people in exchange for work and pay for women, and pursue women with sincerity?"
"So the purpose of your mind cultivation is to create a normal view of the world, life, values, and feelings?"
"It can also be said that cultivators are always transcendental, and they are already different from ordinary people, so under the current policy of country C, the registered transcendents above level 20 will basically not worry about money and other worldly things, and will satisfy the desires of transcendents as much as possible, so that they will not get into trouble because of this kind of thing. ”
"Hmm, you cultivators can still cultivate your mind from a young age, but what about those who awaken overnight?"
"Therefore, our department also needs to monitor the duties of these people, and try to meet their needs after they awaken, but there will still be a small number of people who will cause great damage to the mortal world because of their previous encounters, and sometimes it is not good to comment on who is right and who is wrong, so they can only be arrested and sent to prison for reform. ”
"Prisons, and prisons for these transcendentals?"
"Do you know the largest water conservancy project in the country?" King's Landing looked at Song Yuyou's face that slowly turned into surprise and said, "Shh, this thing is a secret, and you have to know at least a little bit until the person in charge of the city level, so don't talk nonsense." ”
After saying that, King's Landing walked into the dining hall with a smile, and after greeting the abbot, he walked to a separate table and sat down, and the monks in the dining hall took their seats after seeing him sit down, and after the monks in the apse served the food, King's Landing waved his hand to signal that he didn't care about himself, and then the monks began to eat.
"Do these monks respect you so much?" Song Yu also sat behind the table and asked King's Landing suspiciously.
"These cultivators in Province S are still under my jurisdiction at the moment, and I have done quite well in Province S in the past few years. King's Landing explained a little, then raised the white porridge in front of him and drank it slowly.
Song Yu looked at the white porridge and green vegetables and tofu in front of him at first, and he couldn't arouse his appetite, for a person like him who had the first lunch every day and didn't like meat, this meal was not attractive at all.
But when he ate the first bite, his eyes widened instantly, and after touching a steamed bun, he began to gobble it up. Seeing this, King's Landing shook his head and pushed the dish in front of him between Song Yu and himself.
"The dishes on our table are made by Bai Yun himself, his craftsmanship is okay, you haven't eaten anything in the past few days, eat more." ”
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and as he was talking, Bai Yun walked over from the back kitchen with his own food plate, and after sitting down, he ate by himself. At this time, Song Yu had already solved two steamed buns and his own dishes. Looking up, there was only half a steamed bun, half a bowl of porridge, half a plate of vegetarian vegetables and a mouthful of pickles on the plate in front of Bai Yun.
"Master, your cooking is so delicious, but why do you eat so much yourself?"
"He was an ascetic, he ate less, did more, and mainly abused himself. King's Landing hurriedly answered Song Yu's question.
Song Yu asked puzzledly: "Dervishe, isn't that something from country Y, and our country also has it?"
"In our Buddhist thinking, we think that everything is the manifestation of karma, and that karma is born and dies, so it is natural to come to the conclusion that we take the initiative to bear the fruits of negative karma, let the negative karma disappear, and stop creating negative karma. Trying to achieve this result with such and such actions is asceticism. Bai Yun put down the porridge bowl in his hand and explained.
"A cultivator like you can also have bad karma?"
Bai Yun smiled silently, and King's Landing seemed to know something but didn't want to mention it, just slashed the porridge in the bowl with his chopsticks.
After a while, Bai Yun finished eating the meal in front of him, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Song Yu: "Master Song, this booklet is given to you to make up for the fact that I went too late that day and caused your seal to be broken and transformed into that kind of monster." Both, I'll go first, we'll see you in X City. With that, he took the plate and went to the apse.
