Chapter 17: Practice
Shangguan Lan didn't answer his words, and continued: "We claim to be true cultivators, but we really can't say that we are true cultivators, and in the eyes of true cultivators, we are just like mortals. ”
"Why is that?" it was Lin Xin's turn to speak.
Shangguan Lan still didn't answer: "There are several major realms in the cultivation process, and there are three stages under each realm. Under 'refining and refining gas' is 'building a foundation, opening light, and fusion', and under 'refining gas and transforming gods' is 'heartbeat, Jindan, and Yuanying'. ”
"And in our Shangguan family, your third grandfather has reached the heart-beating realm of the 'Transformation God Realm', and he can be regarded as a top cultivator in the Southern Regions. Shangguan Lan began to talk about the cultivation of his family.
The three of them were envious, when will we reach that realm!
Thinking of Shangguan Lan's previous words, Lin Xin suddenly asked: "Shibo, what you just said, there should still be the realm of 'refining gods and returning to emptiness', and it should still be above the first two realms. So what are the three phases?"
Minghao and Yu Xue'er also had an epiphany, didn't they just say that there were three?
Shangguan Lan smiled slightly and said, "That's why in the eyes of true cultivators, we are just mortals. As far as I know, the realm of 'refining gods and returning to emptiness' above these two realms should also be divided into three stages, but it is not clear which ones are specific. However, as can be seen from previous records, there must have been three stages in it. But so far, no one has been able to reach this state. ”
A few people were surprised, so they asked, "Out of so many people, isn't there one who has reached it?"
Shangguan Lan sighed: "In the later stages of cultivation, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and it is really difficult to go further." And cultivators are even more difficult to enter the heavens, and so far no one in my Shangguan family has been able to reach the realm after Jindan. ”
Hearing the meaning of this, there are still people in the Shangguan family who have been to the realm of Jindan? Lin Xin and a few people were surprised and asked, "Shibo, there are still people in our clan who have cultivated to the realm of Jindan?"
Shangguan Lan's face was flat, but his eyes were deep, thinking of something a long time ago: "That was hundreds of years ago, when an ancestor had been to the realm of Jindan. ”
That's it!
"Practicing together, going against the sky, the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty. However, the cultivator absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and nourishes the spiritual veins of the body and mind, and the changes in people's physique are also obvious. Therefore, the lifespan of a practitioner is often longer than that of a person who does not practice. Shangguan Lan said again.
Shangguan Lan told a few people for a while, a few people were keen and studious, and asked a lot of things about cultivation and the cultivation realm, and when they talked about the wonderful things, they were stunned, and when they talked about strange places, they were confused. For several people's questions, Shangguan Lan knew everything and said everything. A few people seem to be chatting and chatting, and they seem to be teaching knowledge, and if outsiders see it, they will definitely think it is funny. And so many hours passed.
"That's all for today, if you still have any questions when you practice in the future, just ask me. Let's go up the mountain. "Shangguan Lan is busy with clan affairs on weekdays, and rarely has such idle time to chat with juniors like this. Today is also full of interest, and I have been talking for so long.
After Shangguan Lan finished speaking, he took the three of them and walked towards the forbidden place in the back mountain. As yesterday, through the cave in the stone wall, up to the forbidden land, a few more steps, several people came to the mouth of the Baiyun Cave.
"Follow me, don't run around. Shangguan Lan admonished.
A few people knew that the mechanism in the cave was powerful, and hurriedly agreed. Shangguan Lan opened the stone door and showed an entrance, and entered it in turn. At first, the three of them thought they were going to go to the place they had yesterday, but after walking a short distance, they found that it was not. Soon after, Shangguan Lan led the three of them to another cave within a hole. The entrance to the cave is nameless, but the interior decoration is more than famous.
The tables, benches, chairs and chairs in the cave are complete, and there are also bookshelf murals. The three of them looked at everything in the cave left and right, very curious. Shangguan Xue'er looked at the patterns on the stone wall in the cave, and didn't know what was drawn, but saw that there were some white-haired old men depicted on it, and there were also some mountains and rivers. There are some unrecognizable characters on it, and Xue'er only recognizes some of them, and she can't understand them. The more unclear it is, the more attractive it is, and she will be fascinated in a short time.
Shangguan Minghao and Lin Xin were also like her, looking at everything in the cave. The houses under the different hills in this cave are very strange. The inside of the cave is also very spacious, about a few hundred abbots.
Shangguan Lan didn't greet a few people, walked to a stone wall, opened a mechanism, and immediately heard a click flash out of the wall A small hole, this hole is small and narrow, I don't know how deep it is. Shangguan Lan felt out a silk thread at the entrance of the cave and slowly pulled out the contents of the cave, which was a wooden box.
"Come here. After holding the box, Shangguan Lan said to a few people.
When the three of them got closer, he said, "Today, when you start cultivating, you must practice the Fa that suits you. This is one of the Shangguan family's most powerful internal cultivation methods: Qinglong Gang's qi decision, practicing this decision can fix the spirit and strengthen the pulse, and increase cultivation. This decision is the first generation of ancestors of my Shangguan family unintentionally obtained a practice of the law, at first it was just a practice of the law, now it has been passed down for dozens of generations, in the later ancestors of the unremitting efforts, has made it more perfect, but also has a lot of cultivation experience, each realm has a feeling, and how to break through to a higher realm, these are recorded. You can learn from the essence of it, and then your practice will be relatively smooth. ”
Lin Xin sighed when he heard this, the Shangguan family can have such a situation, it is the result of the accumulation of the ancestors, and the details were not clear before, but now that they see that they are really to the point of good intentions. It's no wonder that the people of the Shangguan family are cultivating so fast.
Shangguan Lan opened the box. The three of them stared at him with some impatience as he opened it. When it was fully opened, I saw a brocade folded inside, and a piece of white jade the size of a half palm was placed on it. Is it written on the cloth?
"This is the 'Qinglong Gang Decision'. Shangguan Lan put the open box on the table.
"Dad, why isn't there any writing on it, how are we going to cultivate?" Shangguan Xue'er was the first to pick it up, the things in the box, looked at it again and again, there were no words 'Qinglong Gang Qi Decision', let alone a formula, Xiu frowned and asked.
Shangguan Lan laughed and said, "Xue'er, this is a jade slip, which is specially used to record Dao magic decisions, not to record words with a pen like a book. The first lesson you have to take in your practice is to read the Dharma decisions in this book. ”
"How can I read this?"
Shangguan Lan smiled slightly: "Just concentrate and unite your mind." After speaking, he walked to a meditation mat and sat down with his legs crossed. After a while, the jade pendant in his hand shone brightly.
"If you can read the message of this jade slip, you will be able to obtain the judgment in it. Minghao, you come first. Shangguan Lan got up, handed the jade slip into Shangguan Minghao's hands, and said to him.
Ming Hao is also smart, like an uncle, he meditates and enters the state after a while. At this time, Shangguan Lan looked at Lin Xin and her daughter, and whispered to them, "You come with me." ”
Several people came to the other side of the cave, and Shangguan Lan found a wooden box from another place, the box was blue and green, and nine people were carved in the hollow, like dancing and martial arts. Shangguan Lan opened the box and said to the two of them: "Lin Xin, your body is not the same as Minghao, and you can't practice the 'Qinglong Gang Qi Determination' for the time being, because it is too domineering and requires a complete talent internal vein. You should first practice the 'Nine Imperial Decisions' and wait until your body is stable in the future, and then make other plans. After speaking, he looked at his daughter again: "Xue'er, although you have a good talent, but the body of a daughter, if you cultivate the 'Qinglong Gang Qi Decision', it will be the yin and yang of the body, which will make you difficult at the beginning of your cultivation." You also practice this 'Nine Imperial Decisions' with Lin Xin, and when you are familiar with the method of cultivation, then see if you are suitable for practicing other exercises." ”
Shangguan Xue'er was a little unhappy when she heard this, and pouted: "Dad, won't that delay the time for cultivation?"
"The path of cultivation is not about the length of time, but about personal talent. The so-called sharpening of the knife does not mistake the chopping of firewood, this is the truth. When you are familiar with the path of cultivation, don't say that you do what you do, that is, you do nothing, and you are better than many others. "Yesterday's incident made Shangguan Lan very embarrassed, Lin Xin was not affected by the ambergris's marrow washing talent, and Xue'er was far away, and he was suspected by the elders. It can only practice the law decision other than the 'Qinglong Gang Qi Decision', and the 'Nine Imperial Decisions' are not as domineering as the 'Qinglong Gang Qi Decision', and the power is much smaller. But it is better than being moderate in character, and the speed of cultivation is even greater. If Lin Xin is allowed to cultivate alone, I am afraid that this kid has other thoughts in his heart. After thinking about it, I came up with such a solution, Cher is a woman, but she is extremely talented. Whether it is the 'Qinglong Gang Qi Decision' or the 'Nine Imperial Decision', you can practice, and the method you thought of this time will reduce Xue'er's cultivation up close, and it will have no effect on it from a distance.
Lin Xin is smart, but at his age, where did he think of these people, and happily said to Shangguan Xue'er: "Xue'er, you and I will cultivate the 'Nine Imperial Decisions' together." Your talent is better than mine, and you will definitely practice faster than me. But don't be careless, I'll try my best to catch up with you. ”
Shangguan Xue'er smiled, and two dimples appeared on Ruyu's face: "I'm not afraid of you, I will definitely let you see how powerful I am when the time comes." As he spoke, he also made a meaty little fist to Lin Xin, and made a grimace with a fragrant tongue, looking very cute.
Shangguan Lan saw that the two of them looked happy and freehand, and seemed to be playing more attractive to them, and coughed: "Ming Hao went to comprehend the law in the jade slip before you, if you don't start quickly, neither of you will be able to catch up with him." ”
Ahh provoked Shangguan Lan to laugh on the side.
