Chapter 38: What is Practice?

Walking into the Lingxu Cave for more than a hundred steps, the scriptures echoing in Ye Fan's heart were extinguished, and dozens of bluestone ancient steps at the entrance were left behind him, which was very unusual, but Ye Fan did not stop, and he was not allowed to stop.

Ahead, the mountain peaks are beautiful, the aura is compelling, looking from afar, a thousand meters long waterfall is falling down from a high mountain, the white horse is like the Milky Way hanging upside down, the rumbling sound is like ten thousand horses galloping, spectacular and magnificent.

"It really deserves to be a blessed land, the scenery is extraordinary, like a pure land outside the world. ”

A cobbled path winds past waterfalls and winds into the depths of the beautiful fairy mountain. On the road, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the branches are as vigorous as dragons, and you can see a lot of palaces, which are hidden among the plants and trees, which is very harmonious and natural.

On both sides of the ancient road, there are artificially opened up medicine fields, the ginseng in it is as thick as a child's arm, the Ganoderma lucidum hangs high with nine leaves, and there are many unknown herbs that are crystal shining, containing a little brilliance, and the medicinal fragrance is overflowing, refreshing people's hearts.

Most of the people who met on the road had to pay homage to a few old men, and their attitude towards Wei Wei was also very friendly, and the status of this immortal genius in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven can be imagined.

Wei Wei returned the salute one by one, without arrogance, in this peaceful pure land, she was really as beautiful as a fairy, and finally like a gentle wind away, Nana, disappeared into the picturesque depths of the cave.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were taken to a low mountain, where there were three or five thatched huts, two or three bamboo forests, and a medicinal field in front of the house, where several old trees were closely connected.

Although there is no Qionglou and Jade Palace, everything seems ordinary and simple, but it is better in tranquility and nature, tranquility like a pure land outside the world, so that people's souls are like being baptized, away from the world, and cleanse away from troubles.

"Stay here first. Several old men left after a few words of advice and explanation, and another classmate was also taken into the Lingxu Cave, but he did not live with Ye Fan and them, but was sent elsewhere.

Near noon, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came here with a food box and let them eat, the food was very simple and light, lotus root slices, yellow essence, poria cocos, gastrodia, mostly medicinal herbs.

"This rice...... Can you eat it? Not even some minced meat. In the past two days, we have either eaten wild fruits or drunk spring water, and now we continue to eat these things, and our mouths are light and almost flowing out of the mountain spring. ”

Although there was no oil and water in the food, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were still all swept away, and there was not even a single vegetable leaf left.

"Can you send a roast chicken?"

Seeing the two of them like this, the young man who delivered the meal was a little dumbfounded, and said, "No...... No, these are not provided in the cave, and if you two are not full, I can send some more food. ”

"How can there be no meat, I don't think there are a lot of cranes, white deer, and a lot of unknown rare birds and beasts, just roast one or two, I think those cranes have been fattened enough." ”

The young man who delivered the meal was like a snake ghost, and immediately fled, fearing that the two of them could not be avoided.

"It seems that entering the immortal gate to practice is not something worth celebrating, this day is too bitter, I can't even eat meat, how will I live in the future." Pombo kept complaining.

Ye Fan is also very hungry, and he wants to grab a roast chicken, tear an elbow, carry a pot of wine, and feast on it at the moment.

In the next ten days, several old people never appeared, but the young man who delivered the meal gradually became familiar with the two, and under the continuous conversation, Ye Fan and Pang Bo gradually adapted to this ancient Chinese Chinese. The young man was very envious of them, and it was said that disciples who had just entered the mountain gate generally did not have an independent residence, and they needed to open a cave when they were successful in their cultivation.

"There are three or five thatched huts, which can be regarded as having your own cave?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo put on the clothes sent by the young man, except for the hair that was still very short, the others were no longer any different from the people in the Lingxu Cave.

"You can't say that, everything around this low mountain belongs to the two of you, and if you have the ability, you can naturally open up the cave. ”

"Since the low mountain is ours, if we kill a deer and roast two cranes, no one will care, right?"

Hearing the two of them say this, the young man didn't dare to answer again, feeling that these two people were really bold, and their ideas were completely different from ordinary people.

"Don't be afraid, we're not going to mess around. Now tell us, what is the so-called spiritual practice?"

This is a question that Ye Fan and Pang Bo are very concerned about, and they don't know anything about it until now, but they have only heard people talk about "Bitter Sea", "Divine Bridge", and "The Other Shore" a few times, and they don't know why at all.

The young man shook his head, he couldn't say anything, he had only entered the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven for a short time, and he hadn't really embarked on the immortal path yet.

"Looks like you can't wait. At this moment, an old man with crane hair and a childish face appeared in front of the low mountain, his big sleeves fluttering, his feet did not touch the ground, he came to the hut like riding the wind, nodded to the young man next to him, and said, "You go." ”

"You are ......" Ye Fan and Pang Bo didn't know this ruddy-faced, snow-white old man, who looked like an old fairy outside the world.

"I am the elder of the Lingxu Cave Heaven, my name is Wu Qingfeng, and the disciples within three years of my introduction are all taught by me. ”

"I've seen old people. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"Old man, can you improve our food first, and then go on like this, if we haven't cultivated immortals, we will really want to feather and ascend to immortals, this food is too light, and now we want to drool when we see a grasshopper. Pang Bo complained again and again.

The old man Wu Qingfeng looked solemn and said: "There is a lot of greed in the world, when you first enter the cave heaven and blessed land, the first thing you have to do is to cut off the glory, clean your body and calm your mind, if you can't even quit your appetite, then in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the various temptations on the road of cultivating immortals." ”

Hearing these words, Pang Bo really couldn't say anything, as for Ye Fan, because he hadn't joined the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, it was even more difficult to make any requests here.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo had a lot of problems in their hearts, but Ye Fan was not easy to open his mouth, Pang Bo was already a disciple of Lingxu Cave, so he had no scruples. Invite Wu Qingfeng to sit on the wooden pier in front of the thatched hut and start asking all kinds of questions, they don't know anything about the so-called cultivation at all.

"Do you see that the sky is clean?"

"The sky is cloudless, the sky is clear, and it is naturally clean. Ye Fan didn't know why he asked like this, but when he saw the old man looking at him, he opened his mouth to answer.

"Wrong, the dust is endless. The old man Wu Qingfeng opened his palm and said, "Even in this palm, there is endless dust. ”

"You...... What do you mean?" asked Pombo, puzzled.

Old man Wu Qingfeng was very indifferent, like an old immortal outside the world, and continued: "What do you think this endless dust is?"

"What can it be, it's naturally dust. ”

"It's dust, it's not dust. The old man said calmly.

"I understand it's dust, but what is it if it's not dust?" asked Pombo.

"It's the world, it's a vast world. "The old man Wu Qingfeng is light and light, and he is very natural and calm when he speaks.

"It's a vast world...... You're not joking, are you?" said Pombo, in dismay.

"In the future, you will understand that this dust, every grass, and every tree are one world. ”

"You...... Can you put it more bluntly, I feel like I'm listening to a book from heaven, although the literal meaning is easy to understand, but I don't understand what the deep meaning is at all. ”

Old man Wu Qingfeng sat there, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't talk about these today, what I want to say is that there is endless dust between heaven and earth, and every grain of dust is a world." In the same way, our bodies do not see anything, but contain endless 'doors', like the dust between heaven and earth. It seems to be a small body, but it contains countless 'doors', and constantly opening these doors to discover the 'true self' is the practice. ”

Seeing that both of them showed shocked expressions, the old man Wu Qingfeng was Gujing Wubo and asked, "Now, do you understand what cultivation is?"

"It seems...... Some get it. ”

"Okay, let's take my time to understand it later. Now, I will tell you what the sea of suffering is, there are countless methods in the world, but you can't help but open the path of immortality from now on. ”

"Old man, you have to be careful this time. Although they haven't really embarked on the path of cultivation yet, both Ye Fan and Pang Bo understand that the initial concept is the most important.

"Everything in the world grows with age, some can live forever in the world, immortal, and some are just born and died, and even in an instant, life has passed in a hurry. ”

"Old man, what are you going to tell us?"

The old man didn't blame them for interrupting the conversation, pointed to an ancient tree not far away, and said, "Can you know how old it has lived?"

"Nature can know, cut down, count the rings and know. ”

"Yes, time is merciless, and it will always carve traces on all things, trees have annual rings, and our bodies also have the wheel of life. ”

"We also have something?" Ye Fan and Pang Bo sounded a little ridiculous.

"My practice begins with the wheel of life of the human body......
