Chapter 3: Practice

Slowly walking into the Xuanmen, the scenery on the side makes people feel refreshed and happy.

In front of you, the huge mountain peaks, flying birds and beasts, flowing clear springs, looking from afar, on the peak in the middle, a towering tree of hundreds of meters stands here, the huge crown spreads out like a paper umbrella, spectacular and beautiful.

"This is the Xuanmen! It is worthy of being one of the best sects in dozens of regions. ”

On the side, a path paved with bluestone, winding and scattering, during which you will pass a huge ancient tree, behind the ancient tree is another scene, a huge palace and exquisite pavilion, set up between the grass and trees, incomparably natural.

Most of the people met on the road saluted to a few old men, and several old people were also very friendly, and they returned the salute one by one, so the status of these old men can be imagined.

The six were taken to a hill with several wooden huts, several woods and a clear spring in front of them.

Although there are no palaces and pavilions, it is better than nature.

"You have settled here, and all the disciples of this sect are treated like this regardless of their qualifications, and if you want better treatment, you have to pay more. The old men just said a few words and left.

At noon, a girl of about eleven or twelve years old came here with a food box, the food was very monotonous, boiled radish, lotus root, pumpkin, etc.

"Isn't there any meat for this meal!" Nie Xiaofan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.

"There's no meat, I heard that you don't even need to eat food until you have cultivated enough to open the grain. ”

Nie Xiaofan: "???"

The fat man on the side scratched his head and said honestly, "However, my mother said that only by eating meat can I be strong, so that girls like it." ”

Although there was not even minced meat in the food, several people still swept it away.

After the meal, "The conditions of this Xuanmen are too bad, and the rice is not full, if I have beaten those cranes, how good it is, hehehe." Nie Xiaofan lay on a bluestone slab and kept complaining.

In the next few days, I didn't see those old men, but the names of the others were known, the tall fat paper was called Duan Xuan, and the others were, Xue Hao, Ji Ran, Su Jinhao, and Xu De.

On the tenth day, Nie Xiaofan was lying on the bluestone slab as usual after eating, and saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face coming in the wind, with long hair fluttering, appearing in front of the mountain, and falling in front of the wooden house after a while.

Several people came over when they saw the old man.

"You are ......" several people have never seen this old man.

"I am Xuanmen Elder Su Hua, and all the disciples within two years of initiation will be taught by me. ”

"I've seen Elder Su. ”

"You're welcome. ”

I saw Nie Xiaofan, who was standing on the stone slab, suddenly rushed over, hugged Elder Su Hua's thigh and kept crying.

"Why are you?" Su Hua wondered.

Nie Xiaofan said with a handful of snot and tears, "Old man, when I came, I was a little chubby man of one hundred and dozens of pounds, look at how thin I am now." After speaking, he didn't forget to rub it clean on the old man's trouser leg.

Su Hua looked at Nie Xiaofan with disgust, twisted him up with one hand, and threw him aside.

The others, except for Duan Xuan, all looked disdainful.

The old man Su Hua said solemnly: "The meat eaters are brave and fierce, the grain eaters are wise and skillful, the gas eaters are gods and longevity, and the non-eaters are immortal and godly. ”

"But I'm hungry!" Nie Xiaofan rushed over again and hugged Su Hua's thigh.

The old man named Su Hua naturally kicked his foot and threw Nie Xiaofan out.

"Tell me what the practice is?"

"Faster, higher, stronger. Nie Xiaofan said without thinking.

"That's right. ”

"Beat yourself. ”

The old man named Su Hua stroked his beard and smiled peacefully, "Yes, cultivation is to constantly discover oneself, chase oneself, and defeat oneself on this path of seeking the Tao, now do you understand what cultivation is?"

"It's a little eyebrow-raising. ”

"On the road in the future, you will slowly understand for yourself, let me tell you what is the oven of life. ”

"Everything in the world has a life oven, and the same is true for dust, some creatures only live and die day and night, while others are thousands of years old, and the longevity of life is related to the origin of life in the furnace of life, which contains the origin of the whole body, which is the foundation of the speed of cultivation. ”

"Where is this life oven?" asked Su Jinhao.

"In the chest, there is the essence of life. The source of life of a mortal is constantly disappearing, like the rings of a tree. ”

"Then why are we physically strong but like ordinary people?" Xu De puzzled

"It's a good question, it's a good question, there is a huge stone tablet on the life oven of all things in the world, which is called the Immortal Monument, which is the imprisonment given to us by God, so practice is also called going against the sky. ”

"Then how are we supposed to practice?"

"Induct the aura, vipassana oven, induce aura to consume the immortal stele, and open up a direct channel to the life oven in the immortal stele, at this time you are real monks, and you can use some magical powers. ”

"That's all for today, don't be in a hurry to practice, the road must be taken step by step, Nie Xiaofan, you follow me. Su Hua said indifferently.
