Chapter 271: Practicing the Dharma
Baijiabao, which has always been secluded, has been secretly excited by several news during this time, which makes the monks of Baijiabao secretly excited.
First, the Great Elder, who had always monopolized the power of the clan, announced a retreat and handed over the affairs of the clan to several other elders to jointly manage.
The Great Elder has always had a bad reputation, and he is more harsh on the backbone of the clan, that is, the disciples of the foundation building period, and there are many things to do, but the cultivation resources given are relatively few. In recent years, there has even been a trend of intensification.
After the retreat, the few elders who were newly in charge of affairs were much more relaxed, encouraging them to increase their income for the family, and at the same time, they promised to distribute many more spirit stones, pills, etc., than when they were the great elders.
There are even many people who secretly hope in their hearts that it is better for the Great Elder to stay in retreat and not come out again.
Some people also believe that this is likely to be a means for several elders to take advantage of the Great Elder's absence to win over the hearts of the people and especialize the Great Elder, after all, the rumors that the Great Elder and the other elders are in harmony with each other are not a matter of a day or two in Baijiabao.
Second, what made the monks of the Bai family, especially the young male monks, particularly excited, was that a stunning woman who cultivated in the late stage of foundation building was injured by the siege of snow foxes on the ice field, and was encountered by the monks of the Bai family, and was rescued back to Baijiabao to recuperate from her injuries.
Although there is no shortage of female cultivators with excellent looks in Baijiabao, they are all slightly inferior to this woman. It's a pity that this woman rarely walks around Baijiabao, and always wears a white veil to cover her face.
But according to the monk who has seen this girl's true face, this woman is not only extremely beautiful, but also her eyes are extremely charming. Often a glance is cast, and then a smile is returned, and it can immediately turn the fascination of those pretentious young male cultivators.
It's a pity that this woman only stayed in Baijiabao for two or three years, and after her injuries healed, she said goodbye to the Bai family and left here alone.
As soon as this woman left, I don't know how many Bai family male cultivators have lost their strong hearts, and I don't know how many people are sad about it. It was even rumored that the second elder of the Bai family had personally come forward to keep this woman, but it was still to no avail.
I'm afraid that only a few female cultivators whose sweethearts are fascinated by this woman will be happy about this woman's departure.
Time passed year by year, as if in a dream, this woman never appeared in the ice field again, and her beautiful appearance and charming smile gradually only existed in the memories of everyone in the Bai family, and slowly few people mentioned it.
......
After Zhao Di had cultivated the two clones of Fengxing and Lei Ling, he began to let them take pills to improve their cultivation.
The elixir refined by the high-level demon pill also had a great effect on the clone of the body of the corpse refining, which was why Zhao Di was very confident that he would be able to raise the cultivation of Fengxing and Lei Ling to the mid-stage level of the Jie Dan within a few decades.
What's more, there are many of them are the best elixirs that have been promoted by Xiao Ding, and the number is enough for the clones to break through the initial bottleneck.
Zhao Di himself did not rush to take the Dan refining and improve his cultivation to the peak of the late stage of the Jiedan, but first practiced the two-layer nameless Buddhist sect sutra mantra given to him by Mixed Yuanzi.
Only by first getting rid of a trace of demonic energy in his body and leaving no trouble in his heart can he dare to continue to improve his cultivation, otherwise if he goes mad, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It is only the first two layers, the exercises that can be practiced by monks in the foundation building period of Buddhism, but it is not easy for Zhao Di.
Buddhism exercises, pay attention to the Buddha, to achieve the Buddha in the heart.
If you want to worship the Buddha, you should first observe the Buddha.
The first page of this mantra, without any words, is an image of the Buddha of Immeasurables.
In this Buddha statue, a golden-bodied Buddha with curly hair and big ears, wearing a half-length golden silk robe, sits cross-legged on the five-colored lotus platform, stands with the right palm stretched out on the chest, the palm facing outward, and casts the fearless Buddha seal; the thumb of the left hand is connected to the middle finger, and the other three fingers are naturally stretched, and the palm is placed upwards on the abdomen, pinching the Dharma Buddha seal; the eyes look at the nose and the nose and the heart, the eyebrows and eyes are kind, and the face has the color of compassion for all beings.
Behind the Golden Buddha, there is a circle of five-color spiritual light rippling out, which is one of the exclusive supernatural powers of Buddhism - five-color Sanskrit light.
Zhao Di sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his mind was free of distracting thoughts, only this Buddha statue.
Every stroke, every hook, every flash, all let him pay close attention and carefully understand.
Slowly, Zhao Di immersed himself in it, ignoring outside affairs......
This contemplation of the Buddha is a full three years
Three years later, Zhao Di opened his eyes indifferently, as if he was in a different world.
Zhao Di's right hand seems to swing casually, and also cast a fearless Buddha seal, after spitting out a Buddha name in his mouth, he will put his hands in front of his abdomen, his right hand is on top, his left hand is down, his palms are facing his heart, and the two thumbs are connected, which is for the meditation Buddha seal.
Although the movements were different, the expression on Zhao Di's face also revealed a trace of compassion, which was a little similar to the golden-bodied Buddha statue.
This means that there is a Buddha in the heart, and since there is a Buddha in the heart, practicing the Buddha's exercises is like a matter of course.
Zhao Di followed the Buddhist scripture formula, constantly breathing and breathing, skillfully cooperating with both hands to cast a Buddha seal, reciting a sentence of Buddha in his mouth, and mobilizing the aura in his body in a completely different way from the mixed yuan formula.
Buddhist exercises are extremely testing of the practitioner's mind and body, and whether it is the divine consciousness or the physical body, they have to experience inhuman pain and suffering.
Zhao Di's divine sense is extremely powerful, and the cultivation of these two layers is of course a great test and torture for the divine sense, but compared to the secret techniques such as distraction and chanting divine drills, it is nothing at all.
As for the physical body, although Zhao Di was already a monk in the late stage of the Jiedan, and his mana far exceeded that of a monk of the same level, and after his physical body was nourished and washed by great spiritual power, he was already far from mortals, but when he practiced Buddhism, he was still challenged by difficulties.
The kind of extreme pain that is sometimes unbearable, sometimes like ten thousand ants devouring the body, sometimes the skin is swollen and cracking, and so on, is even no less severe than the severity of wiping the body with cold and hot spiritual liquid when impacting the knot.
But for a determined monk like Zhao Di, who has experienced many similar "devastation", he is just frowning and clenching his teeth.
Although the Buddha and the Tao are different, with Zhao Di's rich experience in practicing for more than 100 years, he naturally progresses much faster than ordinary low-level Buddhist monks. Ten years later, Zhao Di finally completed the cultivation of these two layers of Buddhism, and the trace of demonic energy in his body had already been wiped out unconsciously in the process.
After the troubles have been eliminated, Zhao Di meditated and adjusted for half a month, and began to take the Dan refining and meditation practice, and he wanted to complete the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Mixed Yuan Jue and reach the realm of the Great Perfection in the later stage of the Dan.
Not long after, the gratifying news came one after another, after refining many cold attribute treasures obtained from the Great Elder of the Bai Family, a large number of Demon Beast Cold Pills, and eating a lot of Snow Crystal Fruits, Ice Wind Jiao finally entered a state of eternal sleep, which was a good omen for his intention to advance.
And Feng Xing and Lei Ling, in the past ten years, have also reached the peak of the early stage of the pill through a large number of pills, and are preparing to hit the bottleneck in the early stage and enter the middle stage.
Everything was carried out in accordance with Zhao Di's plan, in an orderly and gradual manner.
......
On the shore of the ice sea, in a cave in the Snow Fox Peak, the transformed Snow Fox** is discussing the affairs of Baijiabao with her equally charming apprentice.
"That Great Elder of the Bai Family, he actually chose to retreat in the forbidden land, I don't know when this reliable news will come out?" **Xiumei frowned slightly and asked in a coquettish voice.
"Yes, this is a well-known thing in the Bai family, and the second elder of the Bai family also admitted this matter himself. The woman nodded and said in the affirmative.
"This is a bit troublesome, according to the information you inquired, that treasure is most likely in the forbidden land of the Bai family, if there is a magic circle to protect it, and this great elder to guard it day and night, it is indeed difficult to plot. What's more, there are many treasures and arrangements in Baijiabao, all of which are specifically aimed at our ice attribute demon clan, and the division also suffered a small loss in his early years. ”
** His face was slightly condensed, and he pondered for a while, and then continued: "Forget it, anyway, this matter will not be solved in a while, in the next time, you have to practice well, and you have prepared a lot of means for the teacher to help you step into the Jindan Avenue in one step." After you have cultivated to a small level, you can sneak into the Bai family again, maybe you can find the weaknesses and loopholes, and then make a plot."
"Yes, thank you, Master," the woman said happily, stepping into the Jindan Avenue is the greatest temptation for every monk in the late stage of foundation building.
"Hmm," ** smiled slightly, raised her jade hand, and a light breeze helped the woman up, and she advised: "The good life cultivator will do something with the old wolf in a few years, if it goes well, you can return in a year or two, if it doesn't go well, it's hard to say." ”
"Is it a very dangerous thing? With Master's supernatural powers, is there still a threat near this ice sea?, or is Master afraid that the Ice Blue Wolf King has some conspiracy?" the girl asked worriedly.
"Hey, the old guy of the ice wolf, although his cultivation is a cut higher than mine, but he also has the power of self-protection for the teacher, and the teacher has once met a certain powerful person, although this person's whereabouts are erratic, but it is enough to deter the old wolf, forgive him and dare not be unfavorable to the teacher. However, the danger of this matter is indeed unpredictable, and even if I and the Ice Wolf both lose our lives, it is not that unusual. ** The expression is solemn, and the voice is slightly muffled.
"Then why is Master going?" the woman looked nervous, and her worry was revealed.
"How much risk there is, how much benefit there is"** suddenly charmed, not to let the pride of the eyebrows suddenly arise, and said: "How can the teacher care about this unknown danger, and cut off a chance to get it"
......
After the Great Elder's retreat, Baijiabao has been calm and impressive, and the Great Elder seems to have stopped showing up for decades, as everyone expected.
Until one day after the Great Elder had been in retreat for more than forty years, several Foundation Building Stage monks who were guarding the Baijiabao Great Array suddenly saw the Great Elder who had broken through the barrier and wanted to leave Baijiabao.
