Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Stages of Cultivation
Hearing that there were so many monks in this world, and that the world of monks was so realistic, Sun Fu couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the monks in this world are as vast as mortals, and the competition between so many monks must be fierce, so there is no constraint?"
Hearing his words, Princess Shui Rao nodded, "What you said is almost exactly the same as Zhao Tianqi more than twenty years ago, which shows that people of your type are indeed related to me." Shui Rao, who was a little nostalgic, paused and said to Sun Fu: "That's what I said to Zhao Tianqi at that time. Do you think there are enough monks in this world? It's much more than that, because I'm talking about human monks, and I didn't mention any other cultivators. ”
"What is a different cultivator?" Sun Fu asked, he didn't really care if he was similar to the senior brother he had never met, but went straight to the crux of the matter.
"Heterodox cultivators are monks of other races other than human monks. If you think about it, many thousands of years have passed since the beginning of the world, and of course it is not only human beings who have discovered the mysteries of Reiki and started to cultivate. Saying that, Shui Rao's eyes flickered and looked at Sun Fu and asked, "Where do you think the cultivators will stay?"
"From the place that Master just mentioned, I think there should be a huge area of water, but I think the more ideal place to live would be a wild land. When he said this, Sun Fu suddenly thought of what happened in the Huayun Palace at that time-Zhao Tianqi, didn't he just go to the border desolate land? Could it be that there was any mysterious connection with the wild land?
Seeing Sun Fu's face change, Shui Rao remained silent: "It seems that you have already thought of it, yes, the base camp of the cultivators is a wild place, and Zhao Tianqi was ordered to go to the border wilderness to carry out the so-called guard mission, but the mission was not very successful, so he is still there now." ”
"Master, do you want me to go to the border wilderness as well?" Sun Fu suddenly asked.
"You're too worried," Princess Shui Rao shook her head, "and the path you have to take is not the same." Let's talk about the different cultivators.
The so-called heterogeneous cultivation, there are many kinds, including all kinds of plants, animals, and even elemental spirits, as long as they have opened their spiritual wisdom and know how to practice, they can be called heterogeneous cultivation, because their physical structure is completely different from ours, so the cultivation methods are also very different, the simplest metaphor, a beast cultivator wants to improve his cultivation quickly, he usually takes the method is to devour another beast cultivator, which is allowed and accepted by them, although they can also breathe in, Cultivation is completed, but the previous method is still unacceptable to human beings, in the human cultivator world, if you rely on devouring others to cultivate, we call him an evil cultivator, and everyone will be punished. ”
"Then I'm going to talk to you about the stages of monasticism. Shui Rao looked at Sun Fu, who was deep in thought, and said.
"Cultivation is divided into many stages, simply put, it is to introduce qi into the body, refine qi and transform the gods, refine the gods and return to the void, and refine the void and merge the Tao. Specifically, it can be divided into seven steps: Lingshi, Qi Condensation, Foundation Building, Knotting, Yuanying, Transforming God and Practicing Void, so according to legend, you can fly to the upper realm and achieve immortality beyond the seven steps.
This is the first and simplest stage of cultivation, which is divided into three stages: sensitive, inducing, and retaining. First perceive the aura that exists in the heaven and earth, and then try to attract the aura into the body, then you can feel the aura contained in all things and can contain a small part of it in the body, that is, the resident spirit. Then it is an attempt to let more aura stay in the body, and the residing spirit is also the first step in condensing qi.
After the state of qi fullness is formed in the body, the second stage of qi condensation ends. Learning the method of attracting the spirit into the body and being able to adhere to the cultivation of condensing qi can improve people's physique, achieve the effect of prolonging life, and live a long life. But as a monk, this is just the beginning.
Then it is to form a circulation of aura in the body, and then absorb more aura and merge the power of circulation into the dantian, which is the success of building the foundation. Then this cyclone leads the body to absorb the aura, when the cyclone reaches the ultimate state, the gas into liquid is the middle stage, when the body aura is all turned into a liquid state to reach the later stage of consummation, the liquid into a solid is the success of the knot, then you can increase the longevity of two hundred years.
After the Dan is completed, there is the possibility of Dan Transformation if you continue to cultivate, which can be changed into the shape of various utensils, or it can become a kind of heaven and earth, and some people put some rare materials in the Dan or Danbian in order to achieve the effect of Dan Transformation, or lead to Dan Change, or become Danbao. There are also exercises that can make monks cultivate several golden pills, which become powerful Dharma pills. Because of the essence of cultivating the aura of seizing heaven and earth, when you start to ascend from the knot, you will be punished by heaven.
The so-called melons are ripe and falling, and after cultivating to the Great Perfection Realm, they will enter the next realm - the Yuan Infant Stage. Yuan Ying is not necessarily humanoid, but most of them are humanoid, including different cultivators, and most of the Yuan Babies are the appearance of the body, but there are also some people who rebel against the sky to cultivate Yuan Ying into other shapes and cultivate magic weapons. At this time, the longevity can be increased by 500 years.
Continue to absorb spiritual power, participate in the path of enlightenment, skillfully learn to use spells, and perceive the avenue of heaven and earth, until the great consummation of the Yuan Infant, you can open the sea of knowledge, also called the door of thought, and the opening of the sea of knowledge is the success of the gods, and the longevity will increase for thousands of years.
The expansion of the sea of knowledge needs to continue to strengthen the spiritual power, until the spiritual power has become so strong that the whole body has almost become a solid spiritual power, coupled with the assistance of various heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as the continuous accumulation of life experience, and the continuous comprehension of the cultivation experience, when the sea of knowledge is stable into a piece of law, you will realize that there is a shortage of heaven and earth, and all things are spiritual. The practice of the Skyclave Realm, also known as the Ascension Realm, the Tribulation Period, etc., from the time you enter the Transformation God Realm, you will have another 10,000 years of life. ”
"These are the seven steps of the monk before the ascension, but even these seven steps are even more difficult, and they are always frustrating. Shui Rao sighed.
"Master, since you already have a path, just move forward step by step, why don't you hold back?" Sun Fu asked.
That's because each of these seven steps is divided into three stages: before, during and after the consummation, only when you reach perfection can you enter the next stage, and every time you advance to the next stage, you will be accompanied by a huge risk. Princess Shui Rao said and looked at Sun Fu, "Are you still willing to cultivate now?"
"I do!" Sun Fu replied without thinking, "Today, listening to the teachings of the master, I know how big the world is, and my eyes and mind are wide open, if I am still nested in that small Huayun Fuguo as the emperor, whether it is wine and food or beautiful treasures, it will only be a hundred years of clouds and smoke, and in the end it will not be able to reach the yellow sand to cover the face, and after the insects bite and ants, it will dissolve between heaven and earth. ”
Princess Shui Rao smiled when she heard Sun Fu's words, it was a smile that had never appeared since they met, and Hexi was warm, making Sun Fu feel that he was really recognized at this time.
Shui Rao beckoned to Xiaohong, who entered the house at some point, and saw Xiaohong walking over with a tray in her hand, but today's tray is very small, but it is also very delicate, a red cloth is covered on it, I don't know what is in it.
Shui Rao gently lifted the red cloth on the tray in front of Xiao Hong, revealing three green jade-like stones with a size of half an inch, one is dull, one is slightly bright, and one is shining, Shui Rao pointed to the tray and said, This thing is called the spirit stone, which is a necessary thing for the current monk's practice, do you know why?"
"It should contain aura. Soon after the observation, Sun Fu came up with an answer.
"Not bad. Because of its material pro-spirit, easy to contain the spirit, so there are many functions, the most common way is to contain aura, we call it the spirit stone, this is obviously dull is the lower grade spirit stone, there is a brilliance flow but not strong is the middle grade, the most gorgeous piece is the top grade spirit stone. Shui Rao introduced Sun Fu one by one, and then patted a bright bead appeared in her hand on her waist, and said at the same time: "But this one in my hand is the best quality spirit stone in the spirit stone." ”
"Master, the function of the spirit stone is to allow the monk to absorb the spiritual power in it and practice, right?"
"Yes, although it is said that the aura between heaven and earth is abundant, but in the end there are some differences from place to place, the place with strong aura is often occupied by people for a long time, or the terrain is treacherous, difficult to achieve, so the effect of the spirit stone is revealed, the spirit stone can be a good preservation of the aura, for the monk to practice anywhere to absorb, and the other can also provide spiritual power in emergency moments such as fighting to prevent insufficient spiritual power, and moreover, because he does not ** does not depreciate, so it can also be used as a currency for monks to trade. So you must remember that this thing is very important, take care of it carefully, and this can be regarded as a welcome gift from me after you worship me. As he spoke, he put the top-grade spirit stone in his hand into the tray, and then pushed the tray in front of Sun Fu.
Sun Fu didn't know how much these four spirit stones were worth, but when he saw Xiao Hong's eyes staring at the top-grade spirit stones in the tray out of the corner of his eye, he was sure that this was not a gift that could be easily received, even if it was a monk.
After talking so much, Shui Rao seemed to be a little tired, got up from the futon and walked around the house twice, seeing that Sun Fu was still standing respectfully beside him, so he waved his hand and said: "You go back first, don't start cultivating for the time being, because there will be an apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, and after the ceremony is over, I will personally guide you to start cultivating, the first step is very important, don't be impatient." As he spoke, he walked towards the back of the house.
