Section 9 The path you choose

Li Yi asked: "Master, but I don't know what stages of cultivation there are, did the disciple also have a breakthrough last night?" Guo Bushou didn't say it some time ago, and Li Yi didn't ask, but Li Yi felt a little bit now, so he wanted to find out.

"Well, cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight, it is also a gradual process, although the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism have different names, but the stages of cultivation are roughly the same!" Guo Bushou thought for a moment, and said to Li Yi: "The Taoist cultivation stage is also to take the number of three three to get nine, three nine, a total of twenty-seven realms!"

Guo Bushou continued: "There are three great realms, the name of the Lust Realm, the Void Realm, and the Daluo Realm; each of the great realms has three small realms, the Lust Realm is divided into foundation building, refining refinement, and transforming the gods, the Void Realm is divided into anti-voidness, Xuanti, and Hedao; and the Daluo Realm is divided into Ascension, Mahayana, and Mixed Yuan ......."

Guo Bushou said this, paused, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, looked at Li Yi who was stunned, and said very indifferently: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the Da Luo Realm doesn't say it, the teacher doesn't have such high expectations for you......"

This is too hurtful, Li Yi's first reaction was to clench his fists! If it weren't for Li Yi, who has gone through two lifetimes, his nerves are thicker than his thumb now, maybe he would have been collapsed by Guo Bushou's words!

Guo Bushou completely ignored Li Yi's expression, and continued to say to himself: "There are three in each small realm, listening to the apprentice's account, the apprentice is now the third stage of refining the qi in the small realm of lust refinement, which can be regarded as the gateway to the avenue for the first time! Well, although there is the help of Taiyin Guanghua, it is also very good, if this progress continues, when the apprentice walks the rivers and lakes in the future, he will not lose his face as a teacher!"

Li Yi worked hard for more than a month, and finally got a "not bad" praise, although the mosquito is small, it is also meat, and Li Yi is already very satisfied to be able to say this sentence from Guo Bushou's mouth. As for Guo Bushou's words of shamelessness and shamelessness later, Li Yi automatically ignored them.

Unexpectedly, Guo Bushou seemed to see through Li Yi's thoughts, and quickly hit Li Yi again: "The apprentice is not too proud, the more the cultivation path is later, it will be difficult to progress, and it never takes too much effort to build the foundation and refine the realm, throughout the ages, I don't know how many cultivators have stayed in the stage of transforming qi all their lives, and they can't advance an inch!"

This Li Yi is understandable, in fact, the path of cultivation looks very complicated, but if you think about it simply, it is very similar to the online game upgrade of later generations, the more you go to the back, the higher the requirements for the upgrade, and some important upgrades even require you to do a system-specific task, if the task cannot be done, the upgrade is hopeless.

....................................

Li Yizheng wanted to ask Guo Bushou what level of cultivation he had reached now, but he saw Guo Bushou pick up the cup and take a sip of tea, and after putting down the teacup, he didn't move, staring at Li Yi with wide eyes, looking sad and angry at his misfortune.

Li Yi secretly said how he offended Guo Bushou again, just inexplicably, Guo Bushou stretched out his index finger, knocked Li Yi's forehead with a "boom", and said bitterly: "My generation of cultivators cultivate their minds, the most important is the four words of 'calm and leisure', emphasizing 'Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change color, elk is happy in the left and does not blink, is not afraid of danger, and does not like things', how did the teacher teach you such an unsuccessful apprentice, and when you meet a few birds and beasts that have not yet transformed, you are scared to the point of urine!?"

Rao is Li Yi is very thick-skinned, and his face was flushed, knowing that the scene of his sudden encounter with many birds and beasts on the Yin and Yang Stone was all seen by Guo Bushou, but shame is shame, and Li Yi was also moved in his heart: Guo Bushou must have been secretly protecting himself last night, and he saw that those birds and beasts did not hurt people, so he did not show up.

Li Yi asked, "Master, why do so many beasts appear?"

"Yesterday was the day of the Taiyin, Yuehua is the best way to help birds and beasts open up their spiritual wisdom, and those birds and beasts are naturally like you, to absorb Yuehua!" Guo Bushou's words always made Li Yi feel embarrassed, what do you mean by those birds and beasts like you? It seems that Li Yi is a member of the army of birds and beasts.

However, Guo Bushou should answer the question for Li Yi always does not fall behind, Guo Bushou said: "You kid has a good life, reciting the "Tao Te Ching" on the Yin-Yang Stone, urging the Yin-Yang Stone to absorb the Yuehua of the entire Yunshan School, those birds and beasts are stupid, mistakenly thinking that your kid deliberately ignited them, and then when your kid was scared stupid, he hit it crookedly, and had a fun www.biquge.info with those birds and beasts, so that those birds and beasts recognized you as the master." ”

I see, if it is really as Guo Bushou said, then I am really lucky, there are so many followers out of thin air, one day I will go into the city, take these birds and beasts to look at the street for a stop, and pull the wind......

Adversity...... In this way, in the eyes of passers-by, it seems that he is really a member of the army of birds and beasts as Guo Bushou said.

Li Yidao: "Master, what will happen to those beasts after absorbing Yuehua?"

"Birds and beasts and plants absorb the moon and the moon, they can strengthen the body, prolong life, if the opportunity is good, you can open the wisdom, and then rely on your own instinct after a long period of cultivation, and finally transform into shape, but only a small part of the people who can transform into shape, and when the birds and beasts and plants are transformed into shape, they need to go through the catastrophe, and the people who can survive the catastrophe are less than one-tenth!"

Guo Bushou replied: "Now these beasts in Yunshan recognize you as the Lord, and listen to you in the early morning of dusk every day to enlighten the authentic Taoist and Confucian classics, and subtly, the chance of them surviving the catastrophe and succeeding in transforming is much greater. ”

Guo Bushou said this, stood up, stroked the top of Li Yi's head with his hand, looked at the floating cloud floating on the cloud mountain, and was speechless for a long time, obviously being reminded of something in his heart.

Guo Bushou didn't say anything, and Li Yi didn't ask much, so the two masters and apprentices stood side by side, watching the fog rise and fall in the mountains together, and the clouds in the sky were rolling up......

Suddenly, Guo Bushou sighed and said: "After the beasts and plants are transformed, they are the 'demons' in the mouth of the cultivators, since ancient times, good and evil are not separated, if the disciples insist on turning them, I am afraid that they will suffer a lot of unimaginable suffering in the future!"

Guo Bushou said this quite emotionally, it sounded very sad, and it seemed to contain a lot of stories, but although Guo Bushou said that good and evil have not been separated since ancient times, there was no rejection of "demons" in his tone, and he did not dissuade Li Yi from igniting those beasts, but just made things clear and Li Yi chose by himself.

For today's cultivators, they believe in "the ancestor of heaven and earth", heaven and earth are the way to be pursued, the ancestor is the ancestor of a founding school, the parent is the parents, the teacher is the master, and the master even has the power of life and death over the disciples.

Although Guo Bushou is a little mean in his words, he never oversteps his bounds, and he respects Li Yi's ideas more, which is almost rare in this era. Putting aside the grace of saving lives, the virtue of teaching is not to be said, and after getting along with Guo Bushou, Li Yi gradually has a sense of belonging in the Yunshan faction, and a master can be regarded as a sincere shout.

"Master, there are good demons among demons, and there are bad people among people!" Li Yi came from later generations, and he was accustomed to seeing people with good faces and evil hearts, and people who hid knives in their smiles, how could they stick to the titles of good and evil? Li Yi didn't want to think about it, so he said: "The disciple treats those beasts with sincerity, and I believe that they will not fail the disciple!"

After a pause, Li Yi said with a resolute face: "The path that the disciple chooses by himself, the disciple will bear the consequences, but he will not allow those so-called famous people to point fingers!"

..............................

When Li Yi returned to the Yunshan Courtyard, he had two more books in his hand, one was the "Zhuangzi" of Zhuang Zhou, a real person of Taoism in Nanhua, and the other was "Mencius" by Meng Ke, a sub-saint of Confucianism.

According to Guo Bushou's statement, Taishang Laojun's "Tao Te Ching" and Confucius's "Analects" are the general outline of Taoism and Confucianism.

"Zhuangzi" is written in an ethereal and carefree way, transcendent and extraordinary, which is the most suitable for cultivating the mind, and "Mencius" is written in a dignified and square way, majestic and majestic, and is the most suitable for cultivating nature.

In the following days, there was no change because of Li Yi's first glimpse of the avenue, Li Yi was still as usual, after silently reciting the Xuanqing Jue, it was convenient for Yin Yang Shishang to read "Mencius" in the early morning, "Zhuangzi" at dusk, and ...... in the evening Sleep at night.

It's just that when Li Yi was reading, there were many more loyal listeners, whenever Li Yi sat on the Yin-Yang Stone in the early morning and dusk, the birds and beasts in Yunshan came in twos and threes under the leadership of the fierce beast Xuanniao, and after nodding to Li Yi, they gathered around the Yin-Yang Stone and quietly listened to Li Yi's recitation.

Li Yi knew that these beasts had already recognized themselves as the master, so they were not afraid of being hurt, and sometimes when they read difficult places in the book, Li Yi would even elaborate on them according to their own understanding.

After Li Yi finished reading the book, the beasts and beasts walked on Wangyun Mountain in twos and threes under the leadership of the fierce beast Xuanniao, and occasionally one or two birds and beasts stayed behind and played and frolicked with Li Yi in the Yunshan Courtyard, so that Li Yi's life no longer seemed so monotonous.

However, Guo Bushou has been a little different to Li Yi since the last time Li Yi expressed his determination in the Yunshan faction hall, Guo Bushou tried his best to teach Li Yi, although he still taunted Li Yi at every turn, but there was a little more confidant in his eyes, as if the ridicule and blow were just a joke between some old friends.

At least, Guo Bushou never knocked Li Yi's forehead with his fingers again, and Li Yi also felt that his words in the Yunshan Sect Hall were not in vain.
