Chapter 8 Accepting Apprentices on Behalf of Teachers
There are no layers in the forging body, and there is no front, middle and late stage.
Because the amount of impurities in the body and how long it takes to completely eliminate the impurities is a process without specific standards.
Some creatures are born in areas with strong spiritual energy, and even from the time their mother is pregnant, their mother eats all kinds of spiritual things, and after their birth, they are not contaminated with any mundane things, and they have begun to deliberately temper their bodies since they were young.
Although forging the body of such creatures is unavoidable, it only takes a very short time. From a few days to a few hours, a quarter of an hour, or even less, it is possible.
It's just that this kind of creature is a very small minority after all.
More people, like Wang Li, were born in the mortal world and grew up in the world, even if they were born in a family or sect of cultivators, from the beginning of conception to the beginning of cultivation, the spiritual things they need to consume are not something that ordinary monks can afford.
The impurities in the body are scarce, and the body has been successful, so it is naturally one step faster. Otherwise, it can only be tempered slowly.
This process has nothing to do with talent and qualifications.
The only advantage of Wang Li's body is that he has practiced swordsmanship with Master Jingyuan for a month.
I think this is also a deliberate effort by Master Jingyuan, not only to strengthen the body and resist diseases, but also to prepare for the first realm of cultivation.
It's just that the bonus brought by practicing swords for a month is really small.
Fortunately, his body has been conditioned and recovered, otherwise with his congenital body, I am afraid that this forging realm will not be able to pass.
But the diseases of the past ten years still left many "impurities" in his body that need to be removed.
This made Wang Li's starting point a lot later than others.
Fortunately, the dual blessings of [Meditation] and [Contemplation] allowed him to absorb and operate the aura at a much faster speed.
As it came and went, it seemed to be a little faster than ordinary people.
Wang Li was already satisfied, after all, this was not a realm related to talent, and he knew better than anyone what kind of weak and sickly body he had before.
With this cultivation, Wang Li sat directly until the night was full of stars.
If it weren't for the hunger growling, he would have continued.
When he woke up, he was pleasantly surprised.
Because in the process of cultivation, he has absorbed the aura, so that his "special talent" has a higher priority consumable, so that the two states of [meditation] and [concentration] have not overwhelmed his mental and physical strength.
This is excellent news.
He was only new to the cultivation threshold, and the aura absorbed per unit of time had already surpassed the consumption of these two states.
Although this delayed the speed of forging his body to a certain extent, without these two states, he might not be able to absorb enough spiritual energy to support the state so quickly.
The two are mutually reinforcing.
Getting up and getting out of bed, although he had been doing it for most of the day, he didn't feel any discomfort because of his body forgery, but felt unusually full of energy, and his body was light and agile, as if he could fly on tiptoe - this was undoubtedly an illusion.
Got into the kitchen, steamed a few steamed buns, served them with two plates of pickles, quenched hunger in three or two, and turned around and went into the Jingyuan room.
He took pen and paper and copied down "Step by Step Lotus" in the form of words and pictures.
Xiao Wang Li's penmanship is good, and he has inherited it, otherwise he wouldn't even know the correct posture of holding the brush.
When he had finished transcribing, he went back to bed and began to meditate.
This time, he tried his cultivation speed in various states one after another.
When meditating, the overall speed slows down and gradually exceeds the means.
When focused, it's similar to meditation.
When concentrating, the aura absorption speed is slightly lower than in the dual state, but the overall aura income is greater than the expenditure, which can be maintained for a long time of cultivation, and because there is one less consumption, the quality of the forging body is higher.
When there is silence, the consumption of spiritual energy skyrockets, and after just a few breaths, the spiritual energy is emptied, directly consuming mental and physical strength, and it is impossible to maintain cultivation at all.
So, Wang Carp blessed [Concentration] and continued to practice.
In this process, there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is a heartfelt emotional display.
……
Abbot's meditation room.
The abbot of Qingzheng and the elder of Qingchi sat opposite each other and drank tea.
"Senior brother, I'm too bitter!" Elder Qingchi wrinkled his old face, holding the teacup in one hand, and deliberately wiping the corners of his eyes that were not moist at all with the other.
Suck~
After taking a sip of hot tea, the teacup was put down heavily, and he howled loudly: "Senior brother! You say how can my life be so bitter!! ”
The abbot of Qingzheng has already settled down, but in the face of such a posture, he can't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
"Qingchi, you are also a senior monk in the temple, although Zen Buddhism pays attention to the absence of appearance and thought, and the appearance of nature to become a Buddha, but your behavior like this, is it really born of nature?"
When he asked, Qing Chi was stunned.
"Senior brother."
"Huh?"
"You doubt me?"
Hearing this, the abbot's eyes couldn't help but open a little.
Immediately afterward, I heard Elder Chi howl louder and louder regardless of his image, saying that the senior brother had no feelings, and that it was better to live than to die, and that he was going to the master to complain.
The abbot of Qingzheng was so noisy that he had a headache.
After a while, seeing that he still showed no signs of stopping, the abbot of Qingzheng flicked his fingers again.
Immediately, there seemed to be a vast Buddha sound in the meditation room.
For a moment, all sounds died down at the same time, and the room was as silent as a void of chaos.
Elder Qingchi finally shut up in this environment, because no matter how loud he screamed at this time, he didn't want to make a sound.
"Senior brother, I know that you have already seen your heart, so don't make that gesture again, I know that you used to want to accept Jingyuan as an apprentice but lost to Qinghai in the past, and now you want to take that child as an apprentice from Jingyuan. Your vision is indeed very good, Jingyuan is now the leader of the Jingzi monks in the White Dragon Temple, and that child is the legendary natural Buddha.
But you have to understand that many things are not what you want to be, and the outcome will be. Didn't we make it very clear today? Since he doesn't want to become a monk, then we don't need to force him, form a good fate, leave a good fruit, Bailong Temple is different from other temples, we do not pursue endless expansion, nor do we take fame as the first, hundreds of monks up and down the White Dragon Temple, it is enough.
Senior brother, do you understand what I said? If you understand, blink your eyes. ”
The abbot of Kisho just finished speaking.
Elder Qingchi's eyelids suddenly blinked rapidly.
Seeing this, the abbot of Qingzheng smiled with satisfaction, and immediately lifted the ban on Elder Qingchi.
"Whew...... Senior brother, in your heart, am I just a person who likes to be strong? ”
The abbot smiled but did not say anything.
But Elder Qingchi was unwilling to continue to entangle with him in this matter, so he directly changed his words: "Senior brother, do you remember that I was the one who led the art investment teacher?" ”
"Hmm."
Elder Qingchi smiled again: "So, he doesn't want to become a monk, but he can't inherit the methods and peerless learning of the White Dragon Sect, but another inheritance on my body should be fine." ”
Hearing this, the abbot of Qingzheng stared at him.
He looked at Qingchi again, his wrinkled brows twitching slightly, "You've decided?" ”
"That's right. His state of mind is sufficient, and his patience, patience and qualitative qualities are all excellent, at least much stronger than I was back then. Elder Qingchi laughed at himself slightly.
The abbot of Qingzheng was noncommittal: "Since it is not the inheritance of the White Dragon Temple, then it is your own business to whom you hand it over, why do you come to ask me?" ”
"Hehe, that's what I said, but I've been in the White Dragon Temple for so many years anyway, and it will inevitably be complicated in the future, so it's better to tell you now."
"Okay, I got it." The abbot paused for a moment, and then said, "However, in my opinion, that child is very assertive, and his mind is much more complicated than that of his peers. Even if you don't want him to become a monk, he may not be willing to worship you as a teacher, after all, you are still a monk, and he is very likely to have doubts. ”
"Hahaha, I've thought about this question for a long time! Therefore, I don't need him to worship me directly as a teacher, I want to accept apprentices on behalf of my teacher! ”
