Chapter 265: The Three Realms of Cultivation
On this day, after picking up water for the morning, my wife and I pinched our waists and looked at the medicine garden of a few acres of land in front of us, sighing incessantly, and our hearts were full of melancholy.
The two of us carry water for one person and two times a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and we still get up early and are greedy for darkness. In other words, if you have to go up and down Zizhou Peak twice, the physical strength you waste is even more than ten times more tiring than running on a thousand mountains.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart why Yingzhou didn't have any advanced equipment, if there was a diesel engine, it wouldn't make me and the old man tired like a grandson.
After the morning's work is done, I will continue to carry the water in the afternoon, but on the way back, I always said that I saw a large Ganoderma lucidum grass, excited, I slipped under my feet without paying attention, and even slapped the bucket on the ground, it doesn't matter if he poured, but don't bother me, I was walking in front of him, just when he was about to fall, he grabbed my pants, and as a result, his front foot just fell, and I also came to a dog to gnaw mud, I am really not afraid of god-like opponents are afraid of pig-like teammates.
As a result, what Lao Yu saw was not Ganoderma lucidum grass at all, but a few super-large dry leaves.
This is good, the Ganoderma lucidum grass has not been stepped on, and the dinner is also in the soup, so I have no choice but to go down the mountain and pick two buckets, and I am angry that I scolded the old man all the way, and the old one is like a gas bag, following behind and not knowing what to mumble.
In the first half a month, Lao Yu and I only thought about the way to leave Yingzhou from the mouth of the old lady of Zizhou, and we didn't pay much attention to the environment around Zizhou Peak.
Since she sold herself to become a coolie for the old lady of Zizhou, she has traveled back and forth to Zizhou Peak twice a day, so she inevitably has to cross the forest and cliff, and she has stepped on a path for a long time.
But we have also found a lot of precious natural treasures, what ginseng Ganoderma lucidum is not unusual at all!
For example, on the way to carry water, if you are careful, all kinds of natural treasures can pick up a pot! Slightly worse are hundreds of years, and some are even thousands of years, which makes me and the old to harvest a lot, at the beginning we are to see must pick up, and then put into the treasure bag of the old give, but with the increase of time, hundreds of years of us are not rare to pick up, to this day, thousands of years of ginseng Ganoderma lucidum we have picked up twenty or thirty!
For monks, these heavenly and earthly treasures are rare cultivation spirit grasses, not to mention the heavenly materials and earth treasures of Yingzhou, and you can feel the abundant spiritual power of the connotation of the period by releasing the spiritual sense a little, so in this more than a month, with the help of the spirit grass to refine the qi element, the cultivation is a great progress, and the envy of the old man is a tooth flower!
To get back to the point, when we returned to the medicine garden and watered it again, it was late at night, and the lights in the yard had long been extinguished, but the old lady and the girl had already slept. There was an agreement in the past, if we can't complete the task, we won't have food, and when the time comes, even if it's a minute late, the girl will throw out the dishes.
Now it's late at night, at this time in the kitchen is estimated that even the raw rice and the pot stove are hidden by a tendon girl, at first Lao to rely on his dog nose can still smell where to put it, but then the girl also learned, I and Lao to the whole night did not find, until the next morning to see the girl carrying a bag of grain on her shoulder, carrying a pot for cooking, I and Lao to look stupid, no wonder we can't find it, she actually hugged the grain and the pot and slept all night.
So at this time, Lao Yu and I didn't have any hope for the kitchen at all, so we could only stare at the medicine garden in front of us in a daze.
"His grandmother's, what kind of life is this, I can't eat enough and sleep well, and I'll be tossed to death in a few days!"
The old man said that he was miserable, and in the end he cried.
But isn't it, I've been here for nearly two months, working as a cow and a horse every day, sweeping the floor and carrying water, eating leftovers, and sleeping in a firewood room, how can it be similar to the slave who sold himself on TV, at least the slave who sold himself still has food, what about us?
In the past two months, the bamboo shoots that can be eaten in the purple bamboo forest have been dug up by us, and the tender ones are dug up, and the old ones are dried by the straight intestines, and the must be brought with small sticks, otherwise it is easy to be suffocated.
Looking at the fairy herb elixir in front of him, he was full of aura under the illumination of the moonlight...
I had no choice but to accept my fate, and after a few more casual conversations with Lao Yu, I started to cultivate...
When I didn't enter Yingzhou, my meridians had been opened, after a stage of cultivation, there was already some vitality in my body, and after refining, they were all integrated into the meridians, how much improvement in cultivation, physical strength and action speed have changed a lot, and I silently recited the "Ancient Buddhist Book" every morning , can induce the meridian aura around the body, sweep away all the discomfort before, and since being able to refine the qi and transform the element, the scorpion on the left shoulder has not sent out a burning pain, and has been honestly carried in that seal, this is definitely a big breakthrough, and it is definitely two realms that have not opened the meridians before.
Talisman spells that couldn't be used before can now be tried to use, which greatly enhances the explosive power of talismans.
But this is still before entering Yingzhou, since I came to Yingzhou, the aura here is vast, more than ten times more than the human world, which makes me very excited. Sure enough, the place where the gods live is different from the place where people live, and it is full of aura.
So every day when I have time, I will do my best to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then refine the qi and transform the yuan, and then integrate the refining vitality into the meridians and turn it into a part of the body, so that the whole person has an inexhaustible strength to make the spirit, so it is much easier to go up and down the mountain to carry water every day than before, if it is not for the old man, maybe I can go back and forth to Zizhou Peak three times a day.
I'm already in the meridians now, but it's only the beginning.
Taoism roughly divides the cultivation process into three stages, the first stage is the refining of qi and chemical yuan, also called refining the spirit, which is the first layer of cultivation in the real sense, the realm of human spirits, and the cultivator is called a human spirit monk;
And with the passage of time, they can still be as light as a swallow, flying eaves and walking on the wall, it is said that Zhuge Kongming and Dongfang Shuo were all in the stage of human spirits, but they can penetrate the sky and earth with the cultivation of the human spirit realm, and stop millions of male soldiers with a single wave, which shows that the power of human souls must not be underestimated.
The second stage is called refining qi and transforming spirits, also called entering the spirit, which is the second level of cultivation, the realm of the earth spirit, and the achiever is called the earth spirit real person; once you enter the realm of the earth spirit, you can split the mountains and cut off the water, and travel thousands of miles a day, just like the legend says, you can soar in the sky and drive the clouds.
In addition, according to the different aura, it can sense the fluctuations of spiritual power within a radius of thousands of miles, and any wind and grass will be well understood. According to Grandpa Hu, he and his grandfather have already reached the middle and late stage of the Earth Spirit realm, as long as they are in the northeast, no demons and monsters will dare to come and be presumptuous. In today's two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism, reaching the realm of earth spirits, there are probably only a handful of people who can really be called real people, which shows the hardship and difficulty of cultivation.
The third stage is called refining qi and transforming gods, also called transforming gods, which is the third realm of cultivation immortals, and the achievers are called immortals; that is to say, when a cultivator can reach the heavenly spirit, then he becomes an immortal. But there are also three kinds of heavenly spirits, human immortals, earth immortals and heavenly immortals. Several sect masters in the shaman earth immortals belong to the human immortals in the heavenly spirits, as well as the twenty-eight constellations, etc., which are the lowest level of the immortals, all have their own responsibilities, and have life constraints, generally tens of thousands of years of life.
Cultivated to the earth immortals, although there is only one realm difference between them and human immortals, but they are one heaven and one underground, a difference of 108,000 miles, and the lifespan is dozens or hundreds of times that of human immortals. For example, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, Nezha, and Yang Jian are all at the top of the list among the earth immortals, and they are the great gods who guard the living beings on one side.
Breaking through the realm of the earth immortals, it is the highest realm of the immortal spirit, and once the heavenly spirit is cultivated, it will have boundless mana, such as the twelve golden immortals of Taoism, the four heavenly masters, and the eighteen arhats of Buddhism. It has the power to destroy the world. Beings like this are rarely born, and they are all hidden in a space and practicing in retreat. Once you break through the realm of immortals, you will no longer belong to the Three Realms, you will not belong to the Five Elements, you will have no entity and no soul, you will have the same spring with heaven and earth, the same root as the sun and the moon, and you will not be born, perish, or enter reincarnation. Just like the Buddha and the Three Qings, he had insight into the Great Dao of the Universe and became the Holy Divine Ancestor. As for the Holy Divine Ancestor, even the two old men had never heard of it.
Everyone wants to cultivate immortals and become immortals, but there are countless cultivators in this Chinese land, and how many of them can truly open the meridians and rank among the ranks of refining qi and transforming yuan? It is because cultivation is too hard and tiring, if you want to achieve something on the path of cultivation, you have to become an ascetic, and you have experienced countless experiences and sufferings. In the end, there is a little possibility to dominate one side and achieve a generation of grandmasters.
