Chapter 203: The Realm of Keeping One
"Elder forgiveness, this disciple's name is Shi Tuo, he is a new monk this year, and he is the first time to come to the medicine garden, so he doesn't know the rules and collides with you, Elder!"
After seeing the old man stop and talk to Shi Tuo, a monk who obviously looked like a senior brother hurriedly ran over to ask the elder for his guilt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that he has a good heart and takes the initiative to help Shi Tuo beg for mercy, it's just that the tasks of the senior brothers are much more fixed than those of Shi Tuo and others.
Unlike Shi Tuo and others, who may accept different tasks every day, after these senior brothers get rid of the status of miscellaneous servants, it is not that they do not have to accept tasks, but their task grades are obviously different.
It's as if Shi Tuo and the others belong to the lowest level of existence in the Guarding Medicine Garden, and although these senior brothers also hold responsibilities in this Elixir Garden, they are in a management position.
And newcomers like Xiang Shituo, who are constantly changing, are generally handed over to this senior brother to explain the work and explain the precautions.
But as soon as Shi Tuo entered the Elixir Garden, he went straight to the cabin without any hesitation, and such a clear purpose made this senior brother not notice Shi Tuo's arrival for a while.
It wasn't until Shi Tuo was looking at the elixir garden outside the cabin that this senior brother discovered that this new disciple was the person who Zhuang Yu had mentioned to them about the bad things.
It's just that before he went to find Shi Tuo's trouble, Shi Tuo set his sights on an old man in the elixir garden first.
Where is this ordinary old man? This is clearly the elder who is the owner of this elixir garden.
When this senior brother saw that Shi Tuo not only found the elder, but also followed the other party and imitated the elder's slow movements, his scalp went numb for a while.
Originally, he also thought that when he was explaining his work and explaining the precautions, he specially concealed some important information from Tuo at this time, so as to give him a dismount.
It's good now, Shi Tuo's actions are clearly mocking the elder's slow action and dying, as if he is determined to anger the elder.
This unexpected situation made this senior brother cry bitterly, and he guessed in his heart that at this time, Tuo Fei had an advance understanding of the distribution of responsibilities in this elixir garden, and was ready to provoke the elder to pull himself into the water as soon as he came?
However, as soon as this idea came to him, he rejected it himself. Let's not talk about where Shi Tuo learned the rules in advance, just say that the meaning of burning jade and stone in this practice makes this senior brother feel unlikely.
However, before he could figure out Shi Tuo's intentions, the elder who was originally collecting elixir discovered Shi Tuo and talked to Shi Tuo.
So, the senior brother didn't care to hear what the two sides said, so he came to the elder as quickly as possible to plead guilty, so that there was the current scene.
In other words, this senior brother is ostensibly excusing Shi Tuo, but in fact, in order to avoid being implicated by Shi Tuo, he uses Shi Tuo's newcomer status as a shield.
"It's okay, old man, I haven't talked to you little dolls for a long time, and I am gathered in a group of old guys in the twilight on weekdays, which makes my mood a little stagnant.
Today, the old man, I came here to collect medicine, on the one hand, there are indeed some elixirs that need to be collected, and on the other hand, I also want to take this opportunity to see you little dolls, so that my mood can be touched. ”
After speaking, the old man waved his hand at the senior brother, motioned for him to step back, and turned to look at Shi Tuo.
This kind of differential treatment made this senior brother dare not speak out, and even the new anger in his heart was also counted on Shi Tuo's body.
"Alright, little doll, that's how it is. Originally, you imitated the old man's movements, which can be regarded as an disrespectful behavior, but the old man didn't seem to be imitating you mechanically, and it seemed that he had learned a trace of charm.
In that case, you might as well tell us what you just discovered. If that's right, the old man won't be able to bother with you about the previous sin of disrespect!"
Shi Tuo saw that the previous senior brother who was in a hurry to jump out was driven away by this elder in a disgraced manner at this time, and he snickered in his heart.
However, for the question of the elder in front of him, he still didn't dare to be half lazy. Besides, Shi Tuo also had some feelings in his heart, which made him not vomit and be unhappy.
However, Shi Tuo did not answer the other party's question directly, but took out a short sword from the storage ring, drew a circle on the ground, and then pointed to the circle and said to the elder:
"Returning to the elder, the disciple followed the elder just now, and he was indeed a little panicked, but it was not because of dullness, but because the disciple realized a lot of feelings, and did not vomit or feel unhappy.
Therefore, the disciple here, first thanked the elder for his magnanimity, and gave the disciple a chance to express his humble opinion.
In fact, the most profound feeling that the disciple had just followed behind the elder was a circle that naturally arose in his heart. ”
"Be bold, the elder is already kind-hearted for giving you the opportunity to express your opinions, but you are using this circle to satirize the elder, what is your intention?"
As soon as Shi Tuo's words were halfway through, the senior brother who had been retreated into the distance by the elder but was still paying attention to the conversation between the two here shouted at Shi Tuo.
Although it is far-fetched to say that Shi Tuo is ironic about the elder, it is not completely unreasonable, after all, although this elder is quite old and old-looking, his body is quite plump, which is really a rare thing among ordinary elderly monks.
It's just that the elder of the party, after hearing Shi Tuo say that he saw a circle, although he frowned slightly, he seemed to be a little interested, and said to the senior brother:
"Retire and go about your own business, there is nothing for you here for the time being, don't waste time by eavesdropping on the old man's nagging. ”
Although there was no anger or accusation in his words, it made the senior brother's face change greatly, and after bowing respectfully, he immediately left the place where Shi Tuo and the elder were.
Shi Tuo saw that the senior brother had been driven away, and without waiting for the elder to ask questions again, he consciously continued what he had just said.
"Although the disciple's cultivation is shallow, he has also gained a little bit from the matter of state of mind.
What the disciple felt behind the elder just now was the elder's profound state of mind, and the circle made below also refers to the elder's mellow state of mind.
Not only that, in addition to being rounded, this circle is more important to divide the inner and external objects into two, representing the absoluteness of the elder's state of mind to adhere to the inner code and cut off the interference of external objects.
If you think well below, you need to add a little bit to the circle drawn below to fully express the elder's state of mind. ”
As he spoke, Shi Tuo used the short sword in his hand to make up a stroke in the circle he had drawn before, adding a center to the circle.
Seeing Shi Tuo draw a circle on the ground that indicated the center of the circle, the elder, who was originally only slightly interested, suddenly widened his eyes, and the white beards on both sides of his mouth twitched slightly, and said with a big smile:
"Okay, good! The little doll's comprehension ability is really rare, the old man's realm of thousands of years of hard work has been broken by you with such a simple picture, it is really terrifying!"
As he spoke, the elder's two wide-open eyes stared straight at Shi Tuo, and continued:
"Hey, good boy, just now the old man left you to ask, I just feel that your state of mind seems to be different from ordinary people, this closer look, I didn't expect that you have found your true self at a young age! This is the state of mind that the old man spent hundreds of years to find out the obstacles. ”
Shi Tuo heard this elder praise him again and again, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, you must know that the state of mind is ethereal and impermanent, and Shi Tuo can have this achievement, which is indeed the same as what he said, it is really a coincidence, and he hit it by mistake.
"The seniors have won awards, and the disciples were able to get lucky enough to reach this state of mind, all of which were caused by coincidence, not by steady cultivation. ”
When the elder heard Shi Tuo's words, he was a little unimpressed, shook his head and said:
"Although the matter of state of mind is not something that a cultivator must delve into, but the state of mind is profound, whether it is beneficial to the cultivation of spells, secret methods, Dan Dao, and even the Great Paths of all directions, it is really something that many monks dream of.
However, the improvement of the state of mind has never been traced, and the old man is relatively lucky, and after thousands of years of unremitting research, he was able to enter the current realm of keeping one.
And there are many people in the academy who are equivalent to the old man, and even the threshold of the state of mind is everywhere.
Little doll, you said that your mood improvement is caused by coincidence, isn't this the same as the cultivation talent of ordinary monks, but also because of luck?
Besides, according to the old man's observation, the improvement of your mood is not just a coincidence, but also your enviable comprehension ability. ”
When Shi Tuo heard the elder's words, he also had some agreement in his heart, after all, he was able to comprehend the realm of the true self, although it was related to the sudden evil spirit, but the ability to find the true self between death and death was still due to his long-term training of comprehension ability.
"Old man, I won't say anything more to you, it's just that I saw what you did just now, and I didn't just feel the realm of Shouyi, if you have any deeper understanding, you might as well say it.
How about the two of us also exchange our moods, and benefit each other?"
What surprised Shi Tuo even more was that the elder now regarded this conversation as an equal exchange and mutual benefit, which made Shi Tuo a little flattered.
However, Shi Tuo's mood is indeed extraordinary, and he did not panic because of this, but confessed according to what the other party said:
"Don't hide it from the elder, according to the disciple's feelings, Elder, your realm of keeping one is already complete, and there are already some differences in it.
Just as the disciple had never seen the elder before, he came to disturb the elder. And when the disciple was infected by the elder's oneness realm, he naturally did not dare to surprise the elder.
As for the difference, it is that the disciple actually imitated the steps of the elder naturally, although the imitation was not very good, but it was completely done by the heart of the blessed spirit.
This kind of infection is not just caused by sticking to the inner rule of the realm of oneness and completely cutting off external objects.
To elaborate in more detail, this infection already has a tendency to stick to the inside and assimilate external substances!"
Speaking of this, both Shi Tuo himself and the elder looked like they had gained, and they both fell into deep thought while being excited.
