Ye Xiaoye's practice is as calm and unremarkable as ever.
But it's not boring at all.
Cultivation is not boring. The changes it brings about in body and mind are enough to transform any boringness into vividness, and become more and more vivid.
It is so vivid that you can watch it for a long time just by quietly looking at the light penetrating into the room from the window.
Because the light will swirl on your eyelashes and even slip.
Because the light has heat, under your gaze, it enters your forehead and the center of your eyebrows, making the entire center of your eyebrows warm, and then instinctively immerses you in a kind of "sunlight warms jade and creates smoke"
into the image.
And aura follows the light, the light that is everywhere, like light, like smoke, like gas, like fog, like dewdrops, like raindrops, like all visible and invisible subtleties, either slightly or obviously,
Penetrate into the body.
In stillness.
You will feel like your body is like a seed buried in the darkness, being moistened by the rain and waking up little by little.
Or, you will feel that you have grown into a small seedling, and are being blown by the breeze and illuminated by the sun.
The wind is a gentle breeze and the sun is a warm sun.
Everything is genial.
Everything is fresh.
There is no urgency, no irritability, no coldness, no harshness.
Only when the sun rises and the moon sets, and the sun sets and the moon rises, time flows gently like fine water, and in this flow, you sprout and grow little by little.
At the eighth core peak, there is a lecture on the Dharma about two months ago.
Ye Xiaoye only went there for the first and second time, but never went there again.
For the practice of the Awakening Realm and the "formal" techniques, he already had the teachings from the big guys, and for informal guidance, he also had the book "From Awakening to the True One" in the Sutra Pavilion.
The boss's skills are considered to be B+ level.
That book can still be classified as B-rated.
As for the teachings at the Dharma Teaching Platform, they are at most D-level or even E-level and F-level.
Of course, there is actually no DEF level in Xu Guangling's training system, not even C level. The lower limit is B level.
Anything below Grade B is considered unacceptable.
Grade B is available for reference.
Those below level B have no reference value at all. At best, they are just introductions to trigger his own thoughts and deductions.
From this aspect, in fact, no matter how low the level of information is, it is meaningful. It is just that at Ye Xiaoye's current stage, he can concentrate on the cultivation of the enlightenment realm, and any other information acquisition is useless.
Necessary contamination and clutter.
Listening to the Dharma is nothing but a waste of time.
But Ye Xiaoye is not staying at home.
He won't go to the Sutra Pavilion, but he will still go to Tai Cangyue and Ji Feiyan's courtyard.
They will also come to him.
It also generally maintains the rhythm or frequency of once a month or two.
When the three of them met, they basically didn't talk about spiritual practice. They just chatted and talked. Sometimes they didn't even say anything. The three of them just sat together, squinting their eyes and basking in the sun.
By the way, Ji Feiyan and Ye Xiaoye both got the habit of squinting due to Tai Cang Yue.
It's just that both of them are not as good-looking as Tai Cang Yue.
In the exchanges, even if there was an occasional mention of spiritual practice, it was mostly the two of them who encouraged Ye Xiaoye.
Junior brother Ye, practice hard and don't be discouraged. It's normal for you to practice slower than the two of us. Your qualifications are not as good as the two of us. If you practice faster than us, then we will lose the courage to practice.
Went home to plant flowers.
Junior Brother Ye, although your cultivation speed is slower than the two of us, you are still faster than many others. This shows that you are still very powerful and great!
Then both of them gave Ye Xiaoye a thumbs up.
Junior Brother Ye, if your practice is hindered by us in the future, don’t be afraid, we will come back to support you.
But you are a grown man, it is best to go on your own! We also believe that you will get better and better as you go!
And so on.
Ye Xiaoye was so immersed in the gentle countryside that she felt almost too happy to miss Shu.
It's a pity that the two women's practice is not gentle at all. They are all striding forward very fiercely.
Every time they meet, and then after a month or two, when they meet again, Ye Xiaoye will find that their practice has left him far behind on the basis of before.
Although Ye Xiaoye couldn't see the specific progress of their practice, the look and temperament of the two women was clearly there.
And their expressions and temperaments are always changing.
If it was stone before, it is slowly turning into jade now.
If it was jade before, then now it is slowly changing from the original low-quality jade, ordinary jade, to beautiful jade, and it is becoming more and more crystal clear and flawless.
If they didn't talk or laugh, the two women would look like "goddess".
Only when they were sitting together basking in the sun, and both girls squinted their eyes and became lazy, did they vaguely look like normal little girls.
During this period, in addition to the meeting between the three of them, the three of them were also invited together to participate in a so-called "fellow cultivator meeting."
At that fellow practitioner meeting, the three of them were the youngest.
Apart from the three of them, among the other ten or so people, the youngest one is about twelve or thirteen years old.
Then there are those with fourteen, five, six, and seven, and there are also those with twenty-four, five, twenty-six, seven, but that’s the biggest one.
In fact, among the core eighth peak, the oldest disciples may be over a hundred years old. When they gather to listen to the Dharma lectures, almost all age groups from young to old are lined up on the Dharma lecture stage.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere of this fellow practitioners meeting was very harmonious.
But maybe, well, maybe, maybe because of Tai Cangyue and Ji Feiyan, Ye Xiaoye suffered a little undercurrent.
For example, he calls Tai Cangyue and Ji Feiyan junior sisters.
The two also called him junior brother.
The three of them had long been accustomed to this small issue of title, but someone brought it up to make an issue.
"Junior brother Guangling, their cultivation level should be higher than yours. It's normal to call you junior brother. Why do you also call them junior sister? Why, are you not convinced?" A monk in his twenties said with a smile.
It was said in a very gentle and joking manner.
When he said this, he also handed the spiritual fruits to Ye Xiaoye and Tai Cang Yue Ji Feiyan respectively. He was really an amiable and approachable senior brother.
Everyone else's attention was focused.
Perhaps because they are the youngest in the field, or perhaps because of other reasons, the three of them have always been the faint focus of the field today, and at this time, the faint focus became the explicit focus.
Especially the leaflets are the center of attention.
Ye Xiaoye looked at Tai Cangyue and Ji Feiyan with his peripheral vision, and saw that the eyes of these two bad girls were half-smiling but not smiling, as if they were just sitting back and watching his good show.
But people who are not familiar with them can probably only see the shyness from Tai Cangyue, and see from Ji Feiyan that she seems to be slightly dissatisfied with Ye Xiaoye because of this question.
"Senior Brother Guangjue."
Ye Xiaoye said, and then thought for a while.
"Logically speaking, I should really call them senior sisters, because their cultivation is much faster than mine. Although the difference between the three of us is not that big now, in the future..."
Having said this, Ye Xiaoye lowered his head slightly. Everyone in the room could see and feel that his mood became obviously depressed.
But then, he raised his head.
"If you call me Senior Sister, I will probably only be able to accept their benefits in the future, such as guidance on spiritual practice."
"But by calling me junior sister, I hope that one day I can give them guidance."
Just you?
Hearing what Ye Xiaoye said, instinctive contempt appeared on the faces of several people in the room.
Some people even wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but looking at Ye Xiaoye's clear face, they remained silent after all.
After hearing this, Guangjue's expression changed several times, and finally turned into an encouraging one, "Okay, good ambition."
"Junior brother, since you think so, you have to work hard! Otherwise, what you say today may become empty words in the future."
"Thank you for your encouragement, senior brother!"
Ye Xiaoye stood up, bowed to Guangjue, and bowed to everyone else in the room.
"Please also ask all senior brothers and sisters for your advice in the future!"
"Junior brother, you're welcome. Let's support each other." Someone stood up and returned the courtesy.
There are also people who sit still.
After all, gatherings like this are just embellishments of current life.
Not even embellishment.
After turning around, Ye Xiaoye still practiced cultivation.
Practice is worthy of the practitioner.
No matter how silently you practice, you are still aware of yourself, the earth, and heaven.
There is also time to know.
And Ye Xiaoye's cultivation is in this silence, in this subtle influence, like spring grass growing, like spring leaves sprouting.
One day, night.
Ye Xiaoye was resting on the bed, neither practicing nor falling asleep.
Outside the window, there was a sudden thunder.
The thunder was small at first, coming from a very far away place, and then slowly, it changed from dull and low-pitched to exciting and high-pitched.
And slowly, lightning finally appeared one by one, intertwined in the night.
The lightning flashes lasted for half the night, and in the second half of the night, it finally started to rain steadily.
Little by little, little by little.
Raindrops, big or small, slow or fast, fell on the trees around the courtyard, making sounds on the trunks, branches and leaves that sounded similar to each other but different to those that sounded closer.
The leaflets are lying on the bed, and from these sounds, the size of the leaves is outlined, and whether they are adult leaves or young leaves.
A little rain falls.
It's Run.
It’s also a fight.
Some leaves were knocked to the ground and turned into dust in the future.
But for the entire earth, and for the billions of plants and trees on this mountain as a whole, this rain is undoubtedly nourishing.
The big strings are noisy like heavy rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The strings are noisy and jumbled, and the big and small beads are falling on the jade plate.
In this night rain, lying in bed and listening quietly, Ye Xiaoye's whole body and mind relaxed, just like the trees and flowers outside the yard, inheriting the beauty of heaven and earth.
At some point, the rain subsided, and there was another thunder in the sky.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoye's whole body's energy and blood suddenly stopped, and then returned from extreme stillness to extreme movement, leading the extremely active spiritual energy to rush towards the position of the spleen in his chest.
once.
Second time.
three times.
It was only three times.
The first time has broken down most of the obstacles, and the second time has directly eliminated all the stagnation.
By the third time, the spiritual energy outside the body has become a mighty torrent, using the suddenly condensed spleen and heart aperture as the entrance to the sea, and flowing into the body.
In the feeling, it is precisely:
The stars hang down over the vast plains, and the moon surges across the river!
