Chapter 1131 A long way to enlightenment

  In the core ninth peak of Ling Xiaozong, the disciples in the Profound Entrance Realm basically practice all day long.

   In addition to single-mindedly cultivating in order to break through, there is no other thing, and I dare not divide other minds.

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

   And then years, decades, etc. without seeing each other.

   In the future, even if there is still a chance to meet again, you are a low-level cultivator, while others are already middle-level and high-level cultivators.

   met, what to talk about?

   Recalling the past?

   How can there be so many good old stories.

   Even if there is, once we have talked about it, it is almost the same, right?

and then.

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

  You can’t commit a crime if you want to.

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

   Therefore, the disciples of the core ninth peak, no matter how old they are, no matter how long they have been in the mountain, what they do every day is to practice and practice again.

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

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

  ——If you don’t study, what do you want to do?

   From the Profound Entrance Realm to the Enlightenment Realm, from the core ninth peak to the core eighth peak, the situation began to change.

  The main reason is that the time span of the enlightenment state is too long, usually starting in ten years, and then often a hundred years, or even more years is not uncommon.

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

   Here we want to talk about lifespan.

  In this world, pure ordinary people live between 120 and 150 years old.

   To die before a hundred years old is to die.

   And if you have such a slight relationship with the world of practice, you can get some elixir from time to time, etc., and it is possible to live past two hundred years old.

   That's life.

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

   For practitioners, as long as they consolidate their originality, they can "make the most of their years".

   about three hundred years old.

   But it’s just a matter of condensing Yuan Dacheng, there is no way to always maintain Condensing Yuan Dacheng. In old age, as the age gradually approaches the age, the cultivation base will gradually decline.

   If you really want to "consolidate Yuan Dacheng" all the time, you have to enter the entrance realm.

   A cultivator in the Profound Entrance Realm, even if he can't make further breakthroughs in his life, there is still no problem in keeping his body's qi and blood in a state of condensing yuan.

   Therefore, excluding accidental reasons, the lifespan of cultivators in the portal realm is basically 300+.

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

   And when you reach the realm of enlightenment, it will be different.

The moment    enters the opening from the entrance, no matter what type of opening is opened, the lifespan of the cultivator has reached more than 500.

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

   But the real key problem is that when you step into the realm of enlightenment, the practice is no longer simply a matter of immersing yourself in meditation and practicing diligently.

During a long period of time, the cultivator's body and mind have been constantly changing, and the change in consciousness is even greater. All these make the cultivator need to have a time and space for adjustment while focusing on the cultivation. .

   Ordinary sects or Xiu San, etc., may not have enough knowledge about this.

   Even if you have enough knowledge, you may not be able to make appropriate arrangements.

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

The    is either constantly dangling between the two, or too loose, or too tight, and can never find the right degree.

   And then it is generally still half-used.

  This makes the time line of the enlightenment realm stretched even more, and then there may be various mundane events in the middle...

The    is piled up in assorted ways, and then the cultivator's life is probably like this.

   This is the general ecology of the middle and lower classes of spiritual practice.

   Therefore, Kaizen Realm often has many names among those who are not sect cultivators, either by word of mouth or in book records.

   For example, "Yellow Sand Border", which means the long yellow sand, like a desert, can't see the edge, and can't walk.

   For example, "Rise and Fall", which means that when you have just entered enlightenment, you are still young and middle-aged, but before you get out of enlightenment, you are already old.

For example, "the realm of delusion" means that in this realm, practitioners' various understandings of life through practice will undergo complex changes, and they will always wander between the real and the delusional. Shinichi.

   and so on, and so on.

   And behind each title, there are generations of cultivators' understanding and summary of the enlightenment state.

For a sect like Lingxiao Sect, there is a rich and complete inheritance system from the Condensing Origin Realm to the Earth Wonderland. This means that as long as your level is between the Condensing Origin and the Earth Wonderland, All the questions in practice can be answered in the sect.

   In more cases, you don’t need to find the answer, the sect has already prepared it for you on many, many, many questions!

  Enlightenment state, apart from the general concentration of cultivation, requires a certain amount of time and space for physical and mental adjustment.

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

  〖Tibet Pavilion〗

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

   has a formal explanation of the exercises;

   have less formal spiritual insights;

  There are travel notes, practice and life experiences of disciples in the enlightenment realm going down the mountain;

   and so on.

〖discussion〗

It is not held between three or five friends, but the sect is organized, and a certain number of disciples gather together on a regular or irregular basis. Everyone has to raise a topic about cultivation. Everyone joins the discussion together.

  〖Mountain tour or banquet〗

   This is held between friends and close acquaintances, at least two or three people, as many as ten or dozens of people.

  The form is not limited, as you like.

  …

   After a cold year, Vientiane is updated.

   Ye Xiaoye had been immersed in the monotonous practice of the core eighth peak for several months, and finally was broken.

   At breakfast that day, he received another message from the sect, "Within three days, go to the Bookstore and read a book."

   Well, this is the next mission.

  Ye Xiaoye smiled and didn't care about anything. Within three days, after the meal, he went straight to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion.

The distance is not close, and the path is not familiar, but Ye Xiaoye knows the approximate location. After leaving the courtyard, he strolled all the way, and soon saw a sign at the corner of the road, indicating that the upper left is Zang. Jingge, the top right is the viewing platform.

  The leaflet is naturally the upper left.

   This left, there is no need for instructions anymore, Ye Xiaoye just walked along the road in the mountains, curving all the way, only about ten miles or so before entering the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion.

   is not much different from a library on Earth.

   I have to say the difference, that is, this Tibetan Sutra Pavilion is very small, just a single-family three-story building, a stone building.

When Ye Xiaoye walked to the small building, a young man came out with a book in his arms. The two met each other, and after a slight stunned moment, they all nodded to each other, and then they didn't talk or anything, just staggered. And passed.

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

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

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

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

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

  Ye Xiaoye can just stand in front of this table and read these ten books in less than a cup of tea.

   But he didn't.

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

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

   "Why do you have this question?" Ye Xiaoye wondered.

"Because there are very few people who choose this book." The middle-aged man said, "A disciple like you who has only opened a hole, out of a hundred, probably 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, now it's your turn to answer me.

   "I chose this book because, uh, I feel that the enlightenment state is quite difficult. It's been several months, and I haven't been able to open the second one." Ye Xiaoye touched his head again.

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

   "Is it alright if I look at it for a month?" Ye Xiaoye said.

   "Any year." The middle-aged man said, then turned around, and quickly pulled out a book from behind the shelf on the left. Ye Xiaoye looked at it and saw that it was another book of "The Long Way to Revelation".

   "Haha." Ye Xiaoye smiled a little silly, and touched his head for the third time, "Senior, goodbye! I'm going back."

   "Welcome to come again." The middle-aged man said something interesting.

   Holding the book, Ye Xiaoye walked back slowly, just like the young man he met when he came over.

  The mountain road is wide and clean. The huge bluestones with a width of more than ten meters are spread out piece by piece. At the joints of the bluestones, some small flowers and grasses grow sporadically.

  The little boy was walking on this huge mountain road. From a distance, he was also agile, embellishing this ancient silence.
