Chapter 214 The creature of creation, the master of creation
Not only Old Yun, but after a brief reflection, all four old men now understood what kind of existence the young man opposite him was.
First thoughts.
Think again.
Rough thoughts.
Think carefully.
The more I think about it, the more shocked I am.
The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
Then these shocks and disbelief turned into fear and respect.
Then, as if the age, generation, and life experience were all reversed, before the four old men spoke again, their faces and expressions were already unabashedly dominated by respect.
In fact, the four old men are not ordinary people.
Sure, they may look a little ordinary now, but they're not that ordinary.
The leader's old man's surname was Yun, and he was from the Miaoyuan Sect, one of the three dominant sects in Jiujiang Prefecture.
However, this disciple of the Miaoyuan Sect could neither discover the secret nor find the source. In the end, his cultivation stopped at the late stage of the Condensing Yuan Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through the Condensing Yuan Realm, entering the Xuan Guan Realm and then entering the Acupoint Realm.
This step also determines everything.
Of course, it is said to be "one step", but in fact it can be broken down into millions of steps.
I don’t know how this old man spent all his energy to walk these tens of millions of steps, and how much he finally took these millions of small steps.
The results are obvious.
process……
The process may be a bit tortuous.
And how can the process of any practitioner's practice from rise to decline be without twists and turns?
Therefore, these twists and turns are shared by the world and are the consensus of the world, so if you really talk about it, it is not a big deal.
However, Xu Guangling was still quite interested in these trivial things.
He is interested in these twists and turns of any cultivator in the world.
Water is formless, but it is given shape by the vessel.
In the same way, Tao is invisible and takes shape due to people.
All these twists and turns that practitioners encounter are reflections of the "Tao", from which we can get a glimpse of the Tao.
No matter how ordinary or humble a person is, the Great Way or destiny will not be abandoned, but will remain in his body and mind from beginning to end just like it does to everyone else and even all living things.
And if you read these chapters about body and mind, you are actually reading "Tao".
If there is sound on the harp, why won't it sound when it is placed in the box?
If the words are on your fingertips, why not listen to them on your fingertips?
This is a poem by Su Dongpo on Earth. It is a so-called philosophical poem, or it can be said to be a nonsense poem.
Of course, it can also be "Tao poetry".
The harp is like the Tao, and the Tao is like the harp.
The qin itself is meaningless; the meaning of the qin lies in its sound.
Tao itself is meaningless. The meaning of Tao lies in deduction, or to put it another way, in creation.
Where is creation?
In the sky, on the earth, in the mountains, in the water.
Also in living beings.
Like vegetation.
Like a human being.
What is different from the heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers is that all things in the heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers can only be pushed by creation, but living beings are both pushed by creation and themselves also participate in creation.
In other words, it is both a creature of creation and the master of creation.
The roots of life come from the former.
The glory of living things depends on the latter.
The reason why human civilization is worthy of pride is because human beings, as the masters of creation, have endowed the Dao with different creations, and these different creations are belonging to other creations, such as heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and plants, trees and animals.
, which cannot be given.
In the first life, Xu Guangling’s practice was focused on mountains and rivers in the early stage, and in the later stage, his mind was on heaven and earth.
In the second life, Xu Guangling's practice was relatively mixed. In fact, during that period, he was in a period of chaos and a period of precipitation, losing his goals and looking for them.
In the third life, that is, in this life, Xu Guangling's practice will focus more on living creatures, such as vegetation and people, and then from the two perspectives of "created things" and "the Lord of creation",
Come and observe the creation, and also bathe in it.
According to the progress of his cultivation, Xu Guangling can now basically be regarded as a top-notch person in this world.
The reason why the Earth Level is called the Earth Level is because the process of cultivation requires the assistance of spiritual beings and spiritual earth. Without the spiritual earth, the cultivation of the Earth Level cannot progress.
The production of spiritual things also requires spiritual land.
Spiritual objects are only a supplement to the spiritual earth. If you simply have spiritual objects but no spiritual earth, you cannot live with the spiritual earth day and night. If your body and mind are both in it, then even if there are spiritual objects, your practice will be greatly restricted, and the terrible thing is
, this kind of restriction is often invisible. Eventually, eventually, it will suddenly appear and choke you when you can't be stuck.
Therefore, the spiritual land is the standard and must-have for earth-level cultivation.
At this point, in the first life, Xu Guangling was not immune.
The construction of the dream city does not mention its peripheral connection with the world, but its inner periphery and core are self-created spiritual places, which are used to promote spiritual practice.
In this life, in this stage.
The body that has entered the Taoist level has given him greater freedom.
"People regard mountains and rivers as the earth, and I regard all living beings as the earth."
This is also the background of Xu Guangling's current situation in Baiyao Hall, where he faces four old men and gets along with each other.
After Old Man Yun, the other three old men also introduced themselves in the ensuing conversation.
Old Man Qu, as thin as a pine crane, was born in the Miaoyuan Sect just like Old Man Yun, but his original cultivation was much worse than that of Old Man Yun. In the end, he just stopped at the moment when he was moving from the middle stage of Ning Yuan to the late stage of Ning Yuan.
Son.
But now, his physical cultivation is inferior to that of a junior in the early stage of Yuan Condensation.
The old man, slightly fat and short, smiled before he spoke. When he smiled, his thick eyebrows drooped, and he looked a little sad, but it was diluted and dissipated by the joyful atmosphere.
Overall, he is a pretty cute little old man.
The little old man was born in the Qinglin Sect, one of the three dominant sects in Jiujiang Prefecture.
Yes, it was the Qinglin Sect where one of Xu Guangling's incarnations, "Ye Xiaoye", was located, and Xu Guangling's registration at Baiyao Hall at this time was also the Qinglin Sect.
Of course, only a few people including the master of Baiyao Hall knew this information, and the others did not know.
Old Man Yuan's original peak cultivation level was similar to that of Old Man Qu, both were above the middle stage of Condensing Yuan, but not yet full of late stage Condensing Yuan.
Then as the years grow older, the cultivation level gradually declines.
One retreat, another retreat, another retreat, 70%, 60%, 500%, 40%, spring and autumn repeated, gradually reaching 100% or 20%.
This is a sad story.
But because there are thousands of cultivators in the world who share this great compassion, when the elder said it, there was no sadness at all, just a little bit of sadness, and the joy could not dilute or dissipate the feeling in his bones.
funeral.
This kind of "loss" exists in all frustrated people.
Things that are not joyful can be balanced by joyful energy.
In other words, no matter how happy you are, it is always the kind that is “unforgettable in the end”.
Old Man Ling, his background is a bit poor, he is not one of the three overlord sects in Jiujiang Prefecture, but just a small sect called Shanyin Sect.
His original peak cultivation level was worse than that of Old Man Yuan and Old Man Qu. He was barely in the middle stage of Yuan Condensation. But now, his cultivation level has been completely dissipated. In addition to knowing some knowledge of cultivation, he also knows how to practice.
There is no difference between him and an ordinary old man.
Although they are just four old men, they are already very representative.
They represent a wide range of cultivators in the Condensing Yuan Realm. From the late Condensing Yuan stage, to the middle to late Condensing Yuan stage, to the early middle stage of Condensing Yuan state, they were unable to progress any further, and under the erosion of the years, they went from bad to worse until they could no longer move on.
A deep conversation.
The four old men talked about everything they knew.
In fact, there is no need for them to say too much.
Xu Guangling could see a lot directly, and what he couldn't see was quickly completed through the narrations of several old men.
As a result of this long-term relationship, Xu Guangling became the "close friend" of the four old men.
From being a stranger to a "close friend", the progress is very fast and extremely frightening, but in the feeling of the four old men, it is a matter of course, step by step, very natural, similar to the way when spring comes, the grass will grow green by itself.
Nothing abrupt at all.
With this understanding, the four old men's feelings towards Xu Guangling also changed from the awe before to the current one, with awe receding to the background and rapport becoming the main stage.
"Doctor Xu, it's almost time for dinner. I wonder if you could do me a favor and let some old men entertain you?"
Sometimes when you talk, the meaning of your words will never be exhausted.
Afraid of saying farewell next, Old Man Yun looked at the sun outside and said this with a rush in his heart.
Old man Qu, old man, old man, old man Ling, and three others immediately echoed in succession.
"Okay, I appreciate that."
Xu Guangling smiled.

I can’t say that it will be updated stably for a period of time. Once I say it, something will happen next. Tried and true, it makes me cry.
