Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 1131

In the Ninth Peak, the core of Ling Xiaozong, the disciples in the Xuanguan state basically practice all day long.

Apart from cultivating wholeheartedly in order to break through, there is no other matter, and I dare not divide my mind from other things.

No matter how many people you know here, it’s useless, no matter how good the relationship is, if you can’t break through for a long time, then people will enter the eighth peak of the core, and you waited for a long time to break through, and you end up at the non-core. The peripheral peaks have gone to practice.

Then we don't see each other for years, decades, etc.

In the future, even if there is a chance to meet again, you are a low-level monk, and he is already a middle-level and high-level monk.

We met, what are we talking about?
reminisce?

How can there be so many old stories.

Even if there is, if I narrate it once, it will be more or less finished, right?
and then.

Then you continue to be your little monk, and others continue to be other middle-level and high-level monks, and the well water does not violate the river water.

I can't commit a crime even if I want to.

Not all disciples understand this truth, but most of them do, and the small part, in such a big environment, either gradually understand it, or even if they don't understand it, they can't find anyone to play with.

Therefore, the disciples of the Ninth Core Peak, regardless of their age, no matter how long they have been in the mountain, what they do every day is to practice and practice.

The vast majority of people are actually similar to Ye Xiaoye's behavior pattern.

This is also similar to the fact that on the earth, children and teenagers from a few years old to their teens study all day long.

——If you don’t study, what do you want to do?
From the entrance state to the enlightenment state, from the ninth peak of the core to the eighth peak of the core, the situation began to change.

The main reason is that the time span of enlightenment is too long. It is not uncommon for it to start in ten years, and then take a hundred years, or even more years.

In such a long period of time, no one can continue to practice single-mindedly like the Profound Entrance Realm, and practitioners will also go through many stages of life during this process, such as from childhood to youth to middle age to old age and so on.

Here is a question about longevity.

In this world, the life expectancy of purely ordinary people is around 20 to 50 years old.

To die under a hundred years is to die young.

And if you have a slight relationship with the practice world, and you can get some elixir and other things to eat from time to time, it is possible to live beyond two hundred years.

That's life.

In other words, the life expectancy of ordinary people can be roughly divided into three levels, below 100, premature death; 120-150, normal; 180-220, longevity.

As for the cultivators, as long as they condense their essence to achieve great success, they can "use up their lives".

Probably around three hundred years old.

But it is simply a matter of condensing the essence, and there is no way to maintain the condensed essence. In old age, as the age gradually approaches the sky, the cultivation base will gradually decline.

If you really want to "condense the essence and make great achievements", then you have to advance to the profound entrance state.

A monk in the profound entrance realm, even if he can't make further breakthroughs in his life, it's not a problem to keep his body's qi and blood in a state of condensed essence.

Therefore, excluding accidental reasons, the lifespan of monks in the entrance realm is basically 300+.

But it was only a little over three hundred, basically less than three hundred and five.

But when it comes to enlightenment, it's different.

The moment one enters the enlightenment from the entrance, no matter what kind of orifice is opened, the lifespan of the cultivator has reached more than five hundred.

From this scale, a hundred years of practice is actually not too long.

But the real key issue is that when you enter the state of enlightenment, practice is no longer simply a matter of burying your head in meditation and practicing diligently.

For a long period of time, the body and mind of practitioners have been constantly changing, and the changes in consciousness are even greater. All of these make practitioners need a time and space for adjustment in addition to concentrating on cultivation. .

Ordinary sects or Xiu San may not have enough understanding of this.

Even if there is enough understanding, it may not be possible to make appropriate arrangements.

Then either it is too slack, slack and slack, and it falls directly, or it is too tight, tight and tight, and then stretches itself to "death", making the practice lose the possibility of continuing to move forward.

Either it has been swaying between the two, or it is too loose, or too tight, and it is always impossible to find the right degree.

And then it's mostly half-baked.

This makes the timeline of the Enlightenment Realm stretched out even more, and then there may be various mundane things added in the middle...

Stacked together in a variety of ways, and then the life of a cultivator is probably like this.

This is the common ecology of the middle and lower cultivation circles.

Therefore, there are often many names for the state of enlightenment among those non-major sect monks, or in word of mouth, or in book records.

For example, "Huangshajing" means the long yellow sand, like a desert, where you can't see the edge, and you can't walk to the edge.

For example, "prosperity and withering state" means that just entering enlightenment is still young and middle-aged, but before getting out of enlightenment, one is already old.

For example, the "truth and delusion state" means that in this state, practitioners will experience complex changes in their understanding of practice and life, and they will always walk between truth and delusion, and only when they cross the boundary line between truth and delusion can they go to Shinichi.

And so on, and so on.

And behind every appellation, there are generation after generation of cultivators' understanding and summary of the state of enlightenment.

For a sect like the Lingxiao Sect, there is a rich and complete inheritance system starting from the Condensed Yuan Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm. This means that as long as your level is between the Condensed Yuan Realm and the Earth Immortal Realm, All the questions about practice can be answered in Zongmen.

What's more, you don't need to look for answers, Zongmen has already prepared many, many, many questions for you!

In the state of enlightenment, it generally requires a certain amount of time and space for physical and mental adjustment in addition to concentrating on cultivation.

Therefore, in the core eighth peak, Ling Xiaozong's arrangement is:

〖Sutra Pavilion〗

You can borrow a variety of books in it, and most of these books are related to enlightenment.

There is a formal exercise explanation;

Have a less formal understanding of practice;
There are travel notes, practice and life experiences of disciples who have enlightened to go down the mountain;

So wait.

〖discussion〗

It is not held between friends, but the sect organizes a certain number of disciples to gather together regularly or irregularly. Everyone has to raise a topic about cultivation. This person first expresses his opinion, and then All join the discussion together.

〖Sightseeing or Banquet in Yamauchi〗

This is held between friends and acquaintances, ranging from two or three people to as many as a dozen or dozens of people.

The form is not limited, as you like.

……

After a cold year, Vientiane is renewed.

Ye Xiaoye's monotonous practice in the eighth peak of the core, which lasted for several months, was finally broken.

During breakfast that day, he received another message from the sect, "In three days, go to the Sutra Pavilion and read a book."

Well, this is a direct mission.

Ye Xiaoye smiled slightly, and didn't care about anything. Within three days, after dinner, she went straight to the Buddhist scripture pavilion.

The distance is not close, and the path is not familiar, but Ye Xiaoye knows the general location. After leaving the small courtyard, he walked all the way, and soon saw a sign at the corner of the road, showing that the upper left is a hidden place. Jingge, the upper right is the viewing platform.

Ye Xiaoye naturally chose the top left.

This left, there is no need for instructions, Ye Xiaoye just walked along the road in the mountain, bending all the way, only walked about ten miles, and then entered the Tibetan scripture pavilion.

Not much different from libraries on Earth.

If I insist on the difference, the Buddhist scriptures pavilion is very small, just a single three-story small building made of stone.

When Ye Xiaoye was walking towards the small building, a young man came out with a book in his arms. The two met each other, and after a moment of surprise, they both nodded at each other, and then they didn't talk or anything, just staggered. And pass.

Entering the door is the front desk, let's call it the librarian.

Before Ye Xiaoye could speak, the middle-aged man asked, "How many orifices have you opened?"

"Uh, one." Ye Xiaoye touched her head and said.

The middle-aged man smiled, without any intention of contempt, but he looked quite gentle, but he didn't say much, just turned around and took out ten books from the back shelf, and lined them up on the table.

"Here, ten books, pick one at random, and you can come back and change it after you finish reading it."

Ye Xiaoye could stand in front of this table and finish reading these ten books in less than a cup of tea.

But he didn't.

Her eyes lingered on the ten books of varying thickness, and after a while, Ye Xiaoye chose a book called "The Long Journey to Enlightenment".

"Why did you choose this book?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Why do you ask this question?" Ye Xiaoye asked suspiciously.

"Because there are very few people who choose this book." The middle-aged man said, "Students like you who have only opened up a hole, out of a hundred, only two or three people will choose this book for the first time. "

After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Xiaoye.

That means I answered your question and now it's your turn to answer me.

"I chose this book because, uh, I think it's quite difficult to open the aperture. It's been several months, and I haven't been able to open the second aperture yet." Ye Xiaoye patted her head again.

"A few months, hehe, a few months can't be called a long time." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Okay, you can take it back, and come back when you finish watching."

"Is it okay if I watch it for a month?" Ye Xiaoye said.

"One year is fine." The middle-aged man said, then turned around, and quickly pulled out a book from the back of the shelf on the left. Ye Xiaoye looked at it, and it was another "Long Enlightenment Journey".

"Hehe." Ye Xiaoye smiled silly and touched her head for the third time, "Senior, goodbye! I'm going back."

"Welcome again." The middle-aged man said it quite interestingly.

Holding the book, Ye Xiaoye walked back slowly like the boy she met when she came here just now.

The mountain road is wide and clean, with huge bluestones about ten meters wide spread out one by one, and some small flowers and grasses grow sporadically at the joints of the bluestones.

The little boy was walking on this huge mountain road, and from a distance, it was also full of agility, embellishing this seemingly ancient silence.
