Chapter 14: Cultivating the Mind
It is said that there is still a saying about the evaluation of the "Four Heroes, Five Shows and Seven Fierces", and the "Four Heroes" are naturally the top four in this competition, and Yao Yong is one of the "Four Heroes".
"Wuxiu" is the youngest of the five people in the top 16, four of them are women, and they are also the only four women who entered the top 16 in this big competition.
The rest is the "Seven Fierces", and those who have good deeds also rank Lu Ping first in the "Seven Fierces".
Lu Ping was dismissive of this, but he was helpless about his fame.
Lu Ping has a lot of respect for Liu Xianchang, especially after entering the late stage of blood refining, Liu Xianchang has carefully guided him several times, and after he broke through and was injured in the big competition, it was Liu Xianchang who protected him, and stabilized the injury with a precious superb recovery pill, saving Lu Ping from the brink of collapse of cultivation.
Liu Xian's three-day explanation was rich in content, and Lu Ping gained a lot, and even a little shocked.
On the first day, Professor Liu Xianchang's cultivation experience, from the eighth to the ninth layer of blood refining, the various problems that will be encountered, and the various situations that need to be paid attention to, Liu Xianchang explained them one by one, including various preparations to be made for the hemolysis period.
If the gap between the monks in the blood refining period is not too obvious, the hemolysis period is a watershed. The difference lies in the exercises that each monk has cultivated, the cultivation resources he has, the wisdom, determination and courage to face difficulties, and even his luck.
This is a torrential path, and the consequence of a little slackness and hesitation is that the path of cultivation is narrowed or even cut off.
After the explanation on the first day was completed, Lu Ping always had a question echoing in his heart: "What is cultivation?"
Lu Ping thought about it for a whole night, and thousands of reasons for cultivation turned in his mind, and finally he no longer hesitated, and his eyes became clear again.
When Liu Xianchang asked on the second day, Lu Ping only had two words: Changsheng!
Liu Xian said: "Is this the only reason? But there are other reasons?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the disciples had a lot of complicated thoughts in their minds, no matter which one was a feasible reason, but in the end, only this one was the most practical and the most immortal. All other reasons will fade over time, and only this one will last forever. ”
Liu Xian laughed "haha" for a while: "What an eternal one, and the children can be taught!" After that, looking at Lu Ping's eyes for a while, it was complicated and difficult to distinguish for a while, there were joy, jealousy, memories, and bitterness......
Lu Ping didn't know that this was a mental test for disciples who had reached the eighth level of cultivation in the True Spirit Academy, and the purpose, root, and reason for each monk's cultivation were different, and even each monk had a lot of thoughts. Now the monk may not be aware of it, and even feel that it is a big fuss, but with the improvement of cultivation and the growth of his state of mind, every thought will turn into an obsession, and every obsession is a fetter to future practice, and after thousands of years, the reason for practicing may be shattered with the wear and tear of time, and it may be unrealistic, and these thoughts will be entangled too much, and even turn into inner demons, threatening the monk's life.
Only by establishing an unchanging, stable idea of cultivation will a monk be able to go further.
Lu Ping doesn't know these now, maybe after many years, with the improvement of Lu Ping's cultivation, he will wake up to the importance of today's Liu Xianchang's question.
The content of the second day was about the experience and precautions of the monks in the blood refining period to impact the hemolysis period, and even the cultivation methods of the hemolysis period, which made Lu Ping a little dumbfounded.
Liu Xianchang looked at Lu Ping's expression and said with a smile: "Why, now you feel that cultivation is difficult?"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "Although the disciple is determined to go on no matter how difficult it is, he didn't expect that it would be such a cultivation process. ”
Liu Xian said, "Do you know how many chances does a blood refining cultivator have to enter the hemolysis stage?"
Lu Ping said: "One in a hundred." ”
Liu Xianchang asked again, "Do you know about the Forging Dan Monk?"
Lu Ping shook his head, and Liu Xian Chang said: "It is difficult to pick one in a thousand miles, and the forging pill period is in crisis step by step, every step is related to the final achievement of cultivation, and even this immortal chief knows very little." The True Spirit Sect plus the disciples of other courtyards has tens of thousands of disciples from the outer sect, and the disciples of the Hemolysis Period are only thousands, and this is because the lifespan of the monks in the Hemolysis Period is more than twice that of the Blood Refining Period; ”
Lu Ping had already heard it at this time, and his heart was infinitely yearning for those masters.
Seeing Lu Ping's expression, Immortal Chief Liu knew that he was already absent-minded, so he said: "I'm here today, this Immortal Elder is also tired, you just need to remember everything I said today." ”
The content of the explanation on the third day is the sophistication of the cultivation world, the precautions in the cultivation world, the situation in the cultivation world, etc., some of which even Liu Xianchang knows very little, but the more Lu Ping listens to the more questions, Liu Xianchang stopped Lu Ping's questioning, and said: "The cultivation world is vast, even this immortal chief can't know everything, so he can only hand over the basic things to you, and you will understand and experience it yourself in the future." ”
After explaining this day, Liu Xianchang took out two pieces of jade slips and said, "These two pieces of jade slips, one of which records the various heavenly and earthly treasures that can be used in the cultivation world, are all summarized by the predecessors of the sect who have traveled around the world over the years, although they are not complete, but they are enough for you and other blood refining stage cultivators." The other is the cultivation world recorded by the predecessors of the past dynasties, and it is essential to travel outside. ”
Lu Ping took the two pieces of jade slips and muttered, "Immortal Chief, does the sect need me and other disciples to go out on a mission, otherwise how could we make such thorough preparations?"
Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, "haha" and smiled: "You are clever, but you are not all right." The sect has always had a rule, and disciples must travel abroad in order to reach the eighth level of blood refining. Although there are no other hard and fast rules for this, but also try to be completely prepared for the disciples of the sect to go out, it has always been the case, there is nothing special about you waiting for this time, after all, you are all the future expectations of the sect, maybe one of them is the future master of the Dharma phase period, the pillar of the sect. Although there are other things to intervene this time, but the specific situation is not very clear to the Immortal Chief, you can just wait for the news of the sect. ”
Liu Xianchang's words, although they confirmed what Lu Ping thought in his heart, Lu Ping's doubts were even deeper.
Lu Ping came out of Liu Xianchang's house, thinking back to what Liu Xianchang said, he smiled gloomily, this kind of thing is that even Liu Xianchang doesn't know much, it is obviously a means of forging a real person or even more powerful, what can a small blood refining monk make these characters calculate? Even if he is a little careful, with his own cultivation, that is, obediently obeying, where can he jump out of their chess game?
The only thing I can do is to do penance step by step, so that I have one more chance to save my life in the calculations of the big guys.
