010, the problem of the beginning of the realm (II)
Shu Zhuang is not the brother of Bo Zhuang and Zhong Zhuang, he has been relatively thin since he was a child, and his father hopes that he can be healthy and strong, so he named him "Zhuang", but there are already Bo Zhuang and Zhong Zhuang in the village, so he can only be called Shu Zhuang. As for Hibiscus, he is also not the strongest boy in the village, his mother Nanhua married from Huahai Village in the deep mountains on the cliff outside the village entrance.
Of course, the people of the wild mountains have never seen the real ocean, but the great lake in the deep mountains is also called "the sea". It is said that there is a large lake in the mountains at the other end of the village, which is almost bottomless beyond the cliff, and the lake is called the "Sea of Flowers" because of the different shades of the lake, the different colors in the sun, and the reflection of the surrounding mountains.
There is a village on the high slope next to the sea of flowers, which is called Huahai Village, and "Huahai" is neither a family name nor a clan name, but a place name that indicates the origin. Many primitive tribes in the deep mountains do not all have an ancestor who left a family name like Lu Village, they don't even have a surname, only their own name.
Hibiscus's maiden name is "Nan", and because she comes from Huahai Village, people call her Nanhua according to their custom. Nanhua has very white skin and a thin waist, but in the eyes of the clansmen, she is not a very standard woman. The women in the primitive tribes should have large breasts, thick waists, and round and strong limbs, so that they can not only give birth to children but also work, which is the most simple and practical aesthetics.
But the tiger baby thinks that Nanhua is very beautiful, and she is the best-looking woman in the village except for Granny Shui. After Nanhua married to Lu Village, she was not discriminated against by the clan because of her body shape or appearance, her hands are very skillful, she is good at doing all kinds of meticulous work, she can grind the most refined bone needles, and the cloth she spun is also the best except for water cloth.
Hibiscus looks like his mother, but of course she is not very strong. Pan Gu drove a hen over the cliff at the beginning, let out a roar, and even scared Hibiscus who was far away in the back mountain to fall from the tree, but I didn't expect Hibiscus to have entered the initial realm now.
Shu Zhuang and Ah Jin immediately became treasures in the eyes of the mountain master and received special guidance, and the mountain master taught them to cultivate the Nine Transformations of the First Realm, which was even more important than participating in the collective work of the tribe. Nowadays, the Lu tribe harvests much more prey and products than before, and the tribesmen do not have to work as hard as before to live, and some people can be provided without labor.
Granny Shui no longer spends mana to spin cloth to guide the clansmen into the initial realm, and it is already a surprising harvest to have two clansmen succeed. In a few years, after the children like pothos and tiger babies grow up, you can try again, and the potential of this group of people has almost been explored. The Lu clan is now more prosperous than ever, and the number of newborn babies who have not died is much higher than in previous years.
Li Qingshui, who had been silently paying attention to all this, couldn't help but nod secretly. A clan of less than 500 people, with two masters, Ruoshan and Ruoshui, as well as Bo Zhuang, Zhong Zhuang, Shu Zhuang, and Ah Jin, four clansmen who have entered the initial realm and been able to cultivate, as well as Pan Gu, a dog who has opened his spiritual wisdom. This is already quite amazing, more than one percent of those who can enter the initial realm can cultivate!
Li Qingshui once served as the governor of Baguo who ruled over hundreds of thousands of people of various tribes on the plain, and also presided over the Baguo Xue Palace, of course, he was well-informed. In those large cities where production is developed and civilization is prosperous, although the means and skills mastered by the people are much more advanced, less than one in a thousand people can enter the initial realm.
But the more primitive and quaint the tribe, the higher this proportion is, as long as they are guided in the right way. Maybe it's because their state of mind and mentality are more simple, they don't have too many things in their hearts, and they are not disturbed by too many things in the world, so it's easier to enter that state, right?
The simple primitive tribesmen, under the guidance of the same way, have greater hope of entering the initial realm - this is the law summarized by Li Qingshui. But this does not mean that those backward tribes can become stronger because of this, and the entry into the initial realm is only a personal cultivation, and most of the other tribes do not have the same achievements, they still live in a primitive and backward environment.
Entering the initial realm of cultivation does not mean that you will be able to break through the multiple realms. On the surface, the first realm can only make people's perception more acute, and the second realm can only make people's strength stronger. The sensitivity and strength of a few people cannot make the entire tribe achieve transformational progress, and its effect on improving the environment and life is far from being comparable to the large-scale mastery and use of more knowledge and skills by the entire tribe.
When you step into the Three Realms, you begin to have some abilities, and you can process some things that are difficult for ordinary people to make. And after stepping into the Four Realms, you can refine the artifacts that truly belong to cultivators, and you can also process tools for ordinary people and complete some extremely efficient work. However, such people are very rare, and they not only need very good talents, but also need clever guidance, which is very difficult to possess in primitive tribes.
A barbarian tribe like Lu Cun with two masters of the Five Realms, Ruoshan and Ruoshui, is really extremely rare. But then again, even if Ruoshan and Ruoshui use all their supernatural powers to do all kinds of things for their clansmen and provide them with everything that they can't or are difficult to obtain, they can't do it. And they are fortunate enough to embark on this road, and none of them aim to do the hardest labor endlessly.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that if the mountains and rivers do this, so that everything that the tribesmen can enjoy in their lives is no different from those advanced clans on the plains, it is equivalent to letting the tribe temporarily get out of the primitive and simple state, and then guide the clansmen into the initial realm, the probability of success will become just as low. And what's more serious is that if one day if the mountains and rivers are gone, such characters may not continue to appear in the tribe, it will be a fatal blow to their survival.
Li Qingshui talked about this problem in the Baguo Academy back then, and called it "the problem of the initial realm". Li Qingshui also predicted that people would have more and more knowledge and skills, and they would become more and more advanced, and they would even be able to do many things that could only be done with supernatural powers before, which was also a rule. But at the same time, it will become more and more difficult for people to enter the initial realm and cultivate.
This seems to be an unsolvable problem, but Li Shimizu thinks it's not a big deal. After all, the human tribe is going to develop towards a more civilized and affluent era, and even if there are fewer people who can pass through the initial realm and become cultivators, they will not disappear, and the future will only depend on the state of mind of the individual.
Moreover, the "problem of the initial realm" is not absolute, and people are more likely to enter the initial realm in the primitive and simple state, but there are also prerequisites: not only are they all guided correctly, but more importantly, there is no difference in innate intelligence and physiological structure, just living in different environments. If it is a race that has not yet opened its wisdom, it is equivalent to the mountains and wilderness**, and it becomes extremely difficult to enter the initial realm.
The people of the Liqing Water Guanlu clan remembered the questions they had summarized and thought about a long time ago.
Every moonlit night, Pan Gu is still sitting in the moonlight, no one knows how many times it has cultivated to the initial realm, as a beast that has opened the beginning of spiritual wisdom, this process must be very long. And Li Qingshui always paid attention to it silently, and one day at night, Li Qingshui almost opened his eyes again.
What shocked him was not the pang, but the tiger baby who was originally lying down and sleeping in the stone house. The tiger baby actually sat up that night, just like the water mother-in-law spun when she sat cross-legged, her hands were naturally placed in front of her lower abdomen, her breath was even and long, and her whole body was in a very relaxed and stable state.
The tiger baby will do this, which is not only taught by Granny Shui, but also a natural reaction. He had been cultivating in the primordial realm for a long time, and almost every night he would naturally enter and experience that mysterious state, and he did not have the consciousness and purpose of practicing martial arts, and he did not know how many times he had repeatedly experienced this subtle feeling of alternating movement and stillness more and more clearly.
On this night, the tiger baby suddenly felt that the qi machine around the body was activated, and the mysterious feeling seemed to turn into an invisible force, sprouting and circulating in the body, he naturally sat up, feeling that it was more comfortable, and what he unintentionally learned was the posture of the water mother-in-law when spinning. The tiger baby is still in the initial realm of cultivation, and the sound of ten thousand sounds in the quiet night is unprecedentedly clear, and the extreme of clarity is a new breakthrough.
The tiger baby didn't know if his eyes were still closed, but he could dimly see the scene inside the hut, and then this perception stretched, as if he had seen the whole village under the moonlight through the stone house, and Pan Gu was sitting in front of the altar. Not only the village, but the tiger baby also dimly saw the mountains outside the village, the trees swaying gently in the night wind, and the spirit owl spreading its wings and gliding across the night sky.
This can't be seen with ordinary eyes, even the tiger baby himself can't describe how he sees it, it's just a kind of scene in a fixed situation. Huwa didn't think about it, he just "saw", and then gradually took back this perception, and what he saw was himself.
His body was still sitting on the bed, but his consciousness seemed to be a separate being, able to perceive his internal organs and hair. This cannot be described by ordinary vision, or not as seeing, but as a clear perception, knowing its shape, its position, and its state of vitality and rhythm.
The tiger baby doesn't know that this is the so-called Nine Transformations of the First Realm. In the two realms of higher realms, the main cultivation is the internal organs, muscles and bones, and the foundation of gaining strength beyond ordinary people and having a healthy and vigorous body is to be able to clearly perceive everything about oneself.
The tiger baby has not yet entered the second realm at the moment, but it has been completed in the first realm and nine turns, but no one knows. Li Qingshui was once only half a step away from taking the legendary path to heaven, and he was also regarded as the world's top great master, he accidentally discovered the tiger baby's actions, and then he suddenly woke up - this kid didn't know when he had entered the initial realm of cultivation, and looking at his appearance, it was possible that he had already completed the nine transformations of the initial realm!
