Chapter VIII Accepting Apprentices on behalf of Teachers
There are no layers of body training, nor are there any front, middle or late stages.
Because there are no specific standards for the amount of impurities in the body and how long it will take to completely eliminate them.
Some creatures were born in areas with strong spiritual energy. Even from the time their mother was pregnant, her mother ate all kinds of spiritual things. After they were born, they were not contaminated with any mundane things, and they began to deliberately temper their bodies since they were young.
.
Although physical training is inevitable for such creatures, it only takes a very short time. It can range from a few days to a few hours, a few quarters of an hour, or even a shorter time.
But after all, there are very few such creatures.
More people are still like Wang Li, born in the mortal world and raised in the secular world. Even if they are born in a cultivating family or sect, from the beginning of conception to the beginning of cultivation, the spiritual materials that need to be consumed are not something ordinary monks can afford.
of.
If there are few impurities in the body and the body is already accomplished, it will naturally be one step faster. On the contrary, one can only practice slowly.
This process has nothing to do with talent or qualifications.
The only advantage of Wang Li's body is that he practiced swordsmanship with Master Jingyuan for a month.
I think this was done deliberately by Master Jingyuan, not only to strengthen the body and resist diseases, but also to prepare for the first level of cultivation.
However, the bonus brought by practicing swordplay for one month is really small.
Fortunately, his body has recovered. Otherwise, with his inherently deficient body, he might not be able to pass the physical training stage.
But the disease of the past ten years or so still left many "impurities" in his body that needed to be removed.
This puts Wang Carp's starting point much behind others.
Fortunately, the dual blessings of [Meditation] and [Concentration] greatly accelerated his ability to absorb and circulate spiritual energy.
Coming and going, it seems to be a little faster than ordinary people.
Wang Li was already satisfied. After all, this was not a realm related to talent. He knew better than anyone else what kind of weak and sickly body he had previously.
During this practice, Wang Li sat down until the night was full of stars.
If his stomach hadn't growled with hunger, he could have continued.
After waking up, he was quite pleasantly surprised.
Because in the process of practice, he has absorbed spiritual energy, giving his "special talent" a higher-priority consumable, so that the two states of [meditation] and [concentration] did not make his spirit and
Physical strength is overwhelmed.
This is excellent news.
He had just entered the threshold of cultivation, and the spiritual energy he absorbed per unit time had already exceeded the consumption of these two states.
Although this slows down the speed of physical training to a certain extent, without these two states, he may not be able to absorb enough spiritual energy to support the state so quickly.
The two are inherently complementary to each other.
He got up and got out of bed. Although he had been sitting cross-legged for most of the day, he didn't feel any discomfort due to the exercise. Instead, he felt extremely full of energy and his body was light and agile, as if he could fly with just one tiptoe. This was undoubtedly a kind of
illusion.
He went into the kitchen, steamed a few steamed buns, and paired them with two plates of pickles, quenching his hunger in a few moments, then turned and went into Jingyuan's room.
He took a pen and paper and copied "Lotus Growing Step by Step" in the form of text mixed with pictures.
The little king carp's writing skills are good, and he has inherited them, otherwise he wouldn't even know the correct posture to hold the brush.
After he finished transcribing, he went back to bed and started meditating.
This time, he tried the speed of cultivation in various states.
When meditating, the overall speed slows down and gradually becomes unable to make ends meet.
When you focus, it is similar to meditation.
When concentrating, the spiritual energy absorption speed is slightly slower than in the dual state, but the overall spiritual energy income is greater than the expenditure, which can sustain long-term practice, and because there is one less consumption, the quality of the body training is higher.
During the period of emptiness, spiritual energy consumption skyrockets. After just a few breaths, the spiritual energy is emptied, which directly consumes mental and physical energy, making it impossible to maintain practice.
Therefore, Wang Li blessed [Concentration] and continued to practice.
During this process, there was always a smile on his lips, which was a display of emotions from the heart.
…
Abbot's Zen Room.
Abbot Qingzheng and Elder Qingchi were sitting across from each other drinking tea.
"Brother, I'm so miserable!" Elder Qingchi frowned, holding a teacup in one hand, and deliberately wiping the corners of his eyes that didn't have any moisture at all with the other hand.
Suck it~
After taking a sip of hot tea, he put the cup down heavily and shouted loudly: "Brother! Why do you think my life is so miserable!!"
Abbot Qingzheng had already settled down to Zen, but when faced with such behavior, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
"Qingchi, you are also an eminent monk in the temple. Although Zen emphasizes no form and no thoughts, and you can become a Buddha by seeing your nature, are you really born from your own nature by behaving like this?"
When he asked, Qingchi was stunned.
"Senior brother."
"Um?"
"You doubt me?"
Hearing this, Abbot Qingzheng couldn't help but open his eyes a little.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Qingchi was heard howling louder and louder, regardless of his image, saying that fellow apprentices had no feelings, that they were worse off than alive, and that they had to go to the master to complain.
Abbot Qing Zheng was constantly having a headache from his quarrel.
After a while, seeing that he still showed no sign of stopping, Abbot Qingzheng gave another quick move.
Immediately, a faint and vague sound of the Buddha seemed to be heard in the Zen room.
For a moment, all the sounds disappeared at the same time, and the room was as silent as the chaos of nothingness.
Elder Qingchi finally shut up under such circumstances, because no matter how loud he shouted at this time, he could not make a single sound.
"Junior brother, I know that you have already seen your true nature, so don't make such gestures anymore. I know that you wanted to take Jingyuan as your disciple before but lost to Qinghai, and now you want to take that child from Jingyuan as your disciple.
Disciple, you do have a very good vision. Jingyuan is now the leader of the Jing generation monks in Bailong Temple, and that child is the legendary natural born Buddha.
But you have to understand that many things will not turn out the way you want. Didn’t we make it very clear today? Since he doesn’t want to become a monk, there is no need for us to force him to form a good relationship and stay.
A good result, Bailong Temple is different from other temples. We do not pursue endless expansion, nor do we prioritize becoming famous. There are hundreds of monks in Bailong Temple, which is enough.
Junior brother, do you understand what I am saying? If you understand, just blink your eyes."
Abbot Qingzheng just finished speaking.
Elder Qingchi's eyelids suddenly blinked rapidly.
Seeing this, Abbot Qingzheng nodded with a satisfied smile, and immediately released the ban on Elder Qingchi.
"Huh... senior brother, in your mind, am I just someone who likes to force others to make things difficult for me?"
Abbot Qing Zheng smiled and said nothing.
But Elder Qingchi was unwilling to continue to struggle with him on this matter, so he changed the subject directly: "Senior Brother, you still remember that I am the leader of the Art Tou Master, right?"
"Um."
Elder Qingchi had another smile on his face: "So, he doesn't want to become a monk, but he can't inherit the techniques and secrets of Bailong Xue, but my other inheritance should be fine."
Upon hearing this, Abbot Qingzheng's eyes froze.
He looked at Qingchi again, his wrinkled brows twitching slightly: "Have you made your decision?"
"That's right. His state of mind is sufficient. His tolerance, patience and determination are all excellent, at least much better than mine back then." Elder Qingchi laughed at himself.
Abbot Qingzheng was noncommittal: "Since it is not the inheritance of Bailong Temple, then whoever you leave it to is your own business. Why bother asking me?"
"Hehe, that's what I said, but I have stayed in Bailong Temple for so many years anyway, and it will inevitably cause problems in the future, so why don't I tell you now."
"Okay, I understand." Abbot Qingzheng paused and then said: "However, in my opinion, that child is very independent and has a much more complicated mind than his peers. Even if you don't want him to become a monk, he may not be willing to do so.
I want to worship you as my teacher. After all, you are still a monk, so he is very likely to have doubts."
"Hahaha, I have thought about this problem a long time ago! Therefore, I don't need him to directly worship me as his master. I want to accept a disciple on his behalf!" This chapter has been completed!
