Chapter 176 Recalling that the yellow dog will be hard to chase
The universe is vast in the drunk world, and the sun and moon are long in the pot.
This sentence can generally be used to describe the situation in Yaowang Valley.
Gan Congshi, an old man, an old man who was already declining in terms of his life span, an old man who has gone through many human affairs and ups and downs and stepped into the realm of spiritual practice step by step, an old man who had no hope but suddenly...
The old man whose dead wood is blooming with spring.
For such an old man, what could be better and more beautiful than concentrating on practicing in order to achieve a breakthrough?
No!
During the conversation, the old man even revealed his intention to resign as the master of the Medicine Hall.
Although, the old man had already dispatched many of the daily internal and external affairs of the Medicine Hall.
But this kind of "superior" responsibility still makes him feel a bit burdensome, and he wants to get rid of it all, and then truly concentrate on practicing in the valley without any other worries.
This is a case of resignation.
As for Xu Guangling, there is actually no need to say anything more.
Not to mention the huge Yaowang Valley, even a small courtyard or even a three-foot-long room can become a world of its own.
There was a joke on the Internet in the past life that a otaku only needed a computer, an Internet connection, and unlimited instant noodles, and he could be locked in a basement where he never saw the light of day and live happily for a hundred years.
Home girls can't do it.
Because otakus also have the innate shopping attribute of women, even if it is just online shopping.
So we need to move the basement upstairs and turn it into a normal living room. If other conditions remain unchanged, we will live happily for a hundred years.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether instant noodles alone can last a hundred years.
Most likely it's not possible.
Although this statement is a joke, in fact, it has partially touched a certain essence of life.
That is, "My heart is somewhere, but my body is calm."
This is actually the same truth as the saying two thousand years ago: "A basket of food, a ladle of drink, in a back alley. People can't bear the worries, but they won't change their happiness when they return."
A long time ago, at a certain stage in his previous life, Xu Guangling felt that if there were so many pains and sorrows among people, it would be better to be a tree and stand there unconsciously, motionless for the rest of his life. This would be a kind of happiness.
After passing that stage, when I think of this thought, I find it ridiculous.
If life was just like a tree, it would be too pitiful and sad.
But as he embarked on the path of spiritual practice and obtained the Secret of the Heart and Heart, he continued to move forward in this life and obtained the Qingdi Spirit-Opening Secret again, Xu Guangling truly felt for the tree.
Generally speaking, it can be regarded as the pony that crossed the river in the story of Pony Crossing the River.
As a tree, it is not that it is ignorant and has no pain. On the contrary, it has both knowledge and awareness, and when there is knowledge and awareness, there will definitely be pain.
For example, the weather is too cold, or the sun is too bright.
For example, the water and soil are too poor.
For example, competition among peers is too fierce.
This does not include the factors of insects, ants, animals, and humans.
In short, there are too many things that can make them unhappy and even painful.
It should be said that as long as there is life and there is consciousness, there will be pain.
The opposite of pain is happiness.
Are trees happy?
have.
It is no less happy than any human being can achieve.
Even, because their perception is much simpler than that of humans, their happiness is purer than that of the most innocent children.
Just like today's tree that Xu Guangling allowed it to transform into.
During the connection before, the happiness it conveyed was like an endless ocean, surrounding Xu Guangling.
Until now, it still conveys its happiness to Xu Guangling.
And if there are no accidents, such as Xu Guangling destroying flowers with his hands, it will feedback this happiness for a long time, and then when Xu Guangling's mind is useless, it will take Xu Guangling with it and immerse itself in that pure and beautiful place.
In the dark world.
Many times, Xu Guangling's meditation or meditation was like this.
In other words, Xu Guangling can completely serve as the patriarch of this large grass and tree family in Yaowang Valley and lead his people to live a happy life.
And they also feed him happiness.
It is subtle and can be explained without words.
The beauty of it cannot be understood by outsiders.
Although he has reached his current situation, Xu Guangling will not be lonely if he has life.
And this "life" can be a human being, an animal, or just a piece of grass.
This is the domain of the Grand Master, which can also be regarded as glory and authority.
"I came from the mountains, bringing with me orchids and grass."
In the previous life, the little girl who was later called the Empire Singer sang like this for the first time.
As for Xu Guangling.
"I came from the mountains, with millions of trees behind me."
He will not carry orchid grass, he will only carry one or several seeds.
And this kind of seed, with a single thought, can be transformed into the special secluded realm, or secret realm, that he wants.
Just like when he accepted Shen Xin.
Gan Congshi, Xu Guangling, this is the current situation in Yaowang Valley.
But the world is bigger than just one Medicine King Valley.
Juxing Tower, or Sihaimen.
"How can our Sihai Sect rely on it to compete with the Baji Sect? Just rely on it!" A certain generation of sect masters who laid the true foundation and structure of the Sihai Sect once said this while pointing to the Juxing Tower.
Juxing Tower is exactly as its name suggests.
It is precisely the strategy of recruiting talented people regardless of their origins and family backgrounds that enables the no-name forces that initially had little to show for themselves to be able to compete with the Baji Sect in a serious manner, each holding up the banner of aristocratic family forces.
But as time passed, Sihaimen also began to faintly transform into the Baji Sect.
That is to say, several major aristocratic families within the sect have begun to solidify. Even if there are geniuses born in the smaller aristocratic families below, it will be difficult for them to ascend to high positions in the sect, let alone the casual cultivators they recruit.
The senior officials within the sect are well aware of this situation.
It is not possible to continue like this. Their inheritance is simply not as good as that of the Baji Sect. And if Sihaimen moves towards the Baji Sect, sooner or later, it will be overpowered by the Baji Sect, and maybe it will be suppressed to the end.
But even if the senior officials in charge of Sihaimen wanted to change this situation, they could not do anything about it.
Because they themselves come from a big family.
What is the saying? No matter how strong a person is, he cannot lift himself up by pulling back his hair.
The sect is bigger than the family.
But after all, the sect is not as big as the family.
This is one of the constraints.
But in fact, the most critical reason is not here.
It lies in the lack of inheritance in the sect.
The highest and highest level can only be practiced to the level of Qi-Entraining Realm! And only the most talented monks in the clan can hope to advance to the Qi-Entraining Realm.
This is actually two questions.
One is that the highest level of inheritance only reaches the Qi-entraining realm.
The second is that even if the inheritance under the Qi-entraining realm is complete, it is not perfect at all, let alone sublime.
To describe it as "ordinary" is probably to exaggerate it.
But what can be done?
Regarding the inheritance of cultivation, it is the highest and core thing in the cultivation world. No matter which school or sect, it is a secret that is not passed down.
Even if they are from all over the world, they will definitely "take care of themselves".
No exceptions!
In this case, the top management of Sihaimen seemed to have suffered from hunger and thirst and went into numbness due to long-term hunger and thirst. They may also have suddenly woken up and jumped up because of a sudden drop of rain.
What does "The Road to Qingyun" mean to the senior executives of Sihaimen?
Not a drop of rain.
And at least it’s a ladle of water!
Then, when they put their heads close to the ladle of water, on the surface, in the water, they faintly saw...
Jianghai!
Yes, the infinite vastness of the river and sea!
That kind of disbelief, that kind of disbelief, that kind of shock, that kind of excitement, all mixed into an irrepressible surprise.
But when the surprise was finally suppressed with painstaking efforts, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something behind the surprise.
Or yarn.
Or paper.
Very thin.
But it's just so far away that it's hard to really touch it.
This feeling of great hope that is clearly right in front of us, but yet so tangible and intangible, makes every one of Sihaimen's top executives so sad that they want to vomit blood.
