Chapter 88 The Significance of Preaching
&1t;!--The chapter content begins->This time, a mid-stage monk named Zheng, who was in his fifties, had a white beard and fairy-like appearance in the mission hall, preached. This monk talked about the importance of cultivating the mind.
Master Zheng said that cultivating the mind is actually to follow the original mind, not to do things that go against the original mind, nor to do things that are tangled. For example, ordinary human monks focus on etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, so killing will affect the mind of Tao. However, the spirit of monsters has not been opened and all actions follow instincts, so there is no saying that cultivating the mind...
When Luo Ningxin was a casual cultivator, she had never taught her how to cultivate her mind except that she could not violate the devil's oath. She only knew that she should do the right things and that she could not do the wrong things; she would fight for what she wanted, and avoid the important things she didn't want to do. She could not hurt innocent people at will; but if someone wanted to endanger her life, she would have to fight back without hesitation and eliminate all hidden dangers first!
Luo Ningxin thought about it and felt that what she had always done was to follow her original intention. Moreover, she would think about it in advance every time she did something, and rarely regretted it, and there was almost no time to get entangled.
While enlightening the Tao, Luo Ningxin observed the monks who came to listen to the Tao this time. There were still only five or six hundred people who listened to the Tao this time, and the main ones were middle and low-level monks who seemed young or young.
The nine-year-old girl I saw last time was still in an inconspicuous position, listening eagerly to Uncle Zheng’s teachings, trying to absorb all the knowledge that could be learned. The girls who were whispering and laughing were also there, but they still didn’t listen carefully and often chattered and whispered.
Xu Dinglin, dressed in black, had a deep breath, his eyes closed, as if he was entering a state of meditation. Qi Jingxun and Gu Cheng were both listening very seriously, one frowned slightly, and the other was thinking. However, there were many beautiful female cultivators sitting around them, and most of them were obsessed with their eyes. Obviously, the intention of the Zhuiweng was not listening to the sermon. As for other monks who entered the same period, they only looked less than half of them, some seemed to have some enlightenment, while others were impatient.
After the preaching of the monks of Zheng, it was still time for the disciples of Qi Refining Stage to ask questions. Most of the disciples asked questions about spiritual power cultivation, magic use, and bottlenecks of promotion. A small number of monks of Zheng asked questions about the troubles of mental cultivation. The monks of Zheng answered in a simple or traditional way.
After listening to the sermon, Luo Ningxin went to the Dushi Hall to find Deng Yue'er. When Deng Yue'er saw her coming at this time, she asked, "Why, have you gone to the mission hall to listen to the sermon of the Foundation Establishment Master?"
Luo Ning said in his heart: "Senior sister didn't go and listen?"
Deng Yueer shook her head and said, "It's really good to hear the sermon of the Foundation Establishment Master, but I really have no interest. I occasionally feel restless and difficult to enter into meditation and practice. It's okay to go over and listen. If I listen to it every time, I will be unbearable. You just started and feel it's new, so you have a lot of interest."
Luo Ningxin smiled and said, "Senior sister is right. The principles of harmony between man and nature and tempering the state of mind that the uncles talk about are never heard of when I was a casual cultivator, and I never thought about it. Now I feel that I have benefited a lot from listening."
Deng Yue'er curled her lips: "Those uncles of the Tao of Heaven and Man are just easy to say, but in fact they can't understand it easily. If everyone can understand it, then everyone can form elixirs and babies, and so many people can still be trapped in the Qi Refining Stage, and the foundation-building Stage will stagnate!"
"What are you saying?" As soon as Deng Yue'er finished speaking, Yu Jingyan happened to come over.
He frowned slightly and said to Luo Ningxin: "My sister Luo doesn't know anything. It is said that the preachers said that there was no practice in ancient times. It was the ancient monks who realized the way of heaven and earth, had clear thoughts, and had sudden enlightenment before they entered the path of immortality, rather than the urging qi used by our descendants to enter the body. Even now, there are some mortals who read the Taoist scriptures in the secular world, comprehending the heaven and earth, and entering the Tao by themselves.
"It is said that such a monk who enters the Taoist Taoist mind is firm and has a strong mind. Although it is difficult at the beginning, it is far longer on the Taoist Taoist path than those who cultivate immortals by urging qi into the body. Therefore, our Huayang Sect attaches great importance to the teaching of Taoist scriptures. Our outer disciples do not have a master, and they are almost the same as casual cultivators in their practice. The sect set up a preaching hall on Xiaoyue Peak, and each time those masters who have attained enlightenment explained the Taoist scriptures to us."
"So that's it!" Luo Ningxin hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yu for your advice, Junior Sister has been taught."
Yu Jingyan smiled faintly: "It's not a question of guidance. As long as Junior Sister Luo often goes to the preaching hall to listen to the sermons, she will know this sooner or later. Because there are only ten uncles here to preach, so the content will inevitably be repetitive."
After Yu Jingyan said this, he turned around and was about to leave. But Deng Yue'er hurriedly called him and said, "Senior Brother, wait! Senior Brother, for my request to you last time, do you ask me if you have Uncle Zhang?"
Yu Jingyan's face immediately turned slightly dark and said with some displeasure: "How many people do we need to recruit in the Common Affairs Hall is all aware of. Do you think you can add one at any time? Don't make trouble! Besides, Junior Brother Gu is a twelve-level monk at least. Do you want him to come here to help those junior brothers and sisters?"
"But... Junior Sister Yu, Junior Sister Wei likes him very much..." Deng Yue'er pouted and whispered.
Yu Jingyan couldn't help but jump and said to himself: Do they like it? I'm afraid you like it too!
"If you don't practice well, you always want to think about these things!" Yu Jingyan whispered, leaving without looking back. He didn't know whether he was talking about Junior Sister Yu, Junior Sister Qin, or Deng Yue'er, who always likes handsome men.
Seeing Deng Yue'er being scolded by Yu Jingyan, Luo Ningxin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
But Deng Yue'er just stuck out her tongue at Yu Jingyan's back, made a face, and turned around and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yu is the most serious, Junior Sister Luo, don't pay attention to him. By the way, I heard that you were left behind by Uncle Ma from the Pills Hall? Although I have never met Uncle Ma, I heard that Uncle Ma is a very strict person. How about it? Are you okay in the Pills Hall?"
"It's not bad." Luo Ningxin also smiled slightly and said, "I am now a junior alchemist. I just need to complete the tasks assigned by my uncle every month, and I don't require reports every day."
"A junior alchemist?" Deng Yue'er was stunned. "I heard that many of our outer disciples in Xiaoyue Peak have been apprentices there for more than ten years or even decades before they can become junior alchemists! I didn't expect that your alchemist skills are really good!"
"Senior sister was joking," Luo Ningxin said.
Luo Ningxin and Deng Yue'er chatted for a while. After registering for the task in the elixir hall, Luo Ningxin went to the Wujifeng elixir hall.
