Chapter 38 What Is Cultivation
Chapter 38 What is Cultivation
Walking into the Lingxu cave for more than a hundred steps, the scriptures echoing in Ye Fan's heart stopped, and dozens of ancient bluestone steps at the entrance were left behind. It was very unusual there, but Ye Fan did not stop, and he was not allowed to stop.
In front, the mountains are beautiful and the aura is compelling. From a distance, a kilometer-long waterfall is falling from a high mountain. The white horses are like the Milky Way hanging upside down.
"It's truly a paradise, the scenery is extraordinary, like a pure land outside the world."
The winding path leads to the secluded, a cobblestone-paved path, passing through the waterfall, winding into the depths of the beautiful fairy mountain. On the way, the ancient trees are towering and the branches are as vigorous as horned dragons. You can see many temples, hidden among the vegetation, very harmonious and natural.
On both sides of the ancient road, there are artificially opened medicinal fields. Ginseng is as thick as a child’s arm, Ganoderma lucidum hangs nine leaves high, and many unknown medicinal herbs are sparkling and sparkling.
Most of the people who met on the road had to salute a few old people, and their attitude towards Weiwei was also very friendly. The status of this extraordinary genius in Lingxu Dongtian can be imagined.
Weiwei returned the salute one by one, without being arrogant. In this peaceful and pure land, she was as beautiful as a fairy, and finally disappeared like a gentle wind, curling Nana, and disappearing into the depths of the picturesque cave.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were taken to the front of a low mountain, where there were three or five thatched huts, two or three bamboo forests, and a medicinal field accompanied by several old trees in front of the house.
Although there are no Qionglou and Jade Palace, everything seems to be ordinary and simple, but it is better than tranquility and nature. The tranquility is like a pure land outside the world.
"You guys stay here first." Several old people told and explained a few words and left, and another classmate was also taken into the Lingxu cave, but he did not live with Ye Fan and the others, but sent him taken elsewhere.
Near noon, a 12- or 13-year-old boy came here with a food box and asked them to eat. The food was very simple and light, including lotus root slices, Huang Jing, Poria, and Tianma, mostly medicinal herbs.
"Is this meal... edible? I don't even have any minced meat. In the past two days, I have been eating wild fruits or drinking spring water. Now we continue to eat these things, and the mountain spring is coming out of our mouths."
Although there was no oil or water in the food, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were all wiped away, not even a leaf of vegetables was left.
"Can you send me a roast chicken?"
Seeing the two of them like this, the boy who delivered the meal was a little stunned, and said, "No... No, these are not provided in the cave. If the two of you are not full, I can send some more food."
"How can there be no meat? I don't think I have raised a lot of cranes and white deer, and there are also many unknown rare birds and beasts, just roast one or two. I think those cranes are already fat enough. ."
The boy who delivered the meal was like a snake and ghost, and immediately fled, afraid of the two of them.
"It seems that entering the Xianmen cultivation is not something to be thankful for. This day is too hard, and I can't even eat meat. How will I live in the future?" Pang Bo kept complaining.
Ye Fan is also very hungry. At this moment, he really wants to grab a roast chicken, tear an elbow, carry a pot of fine wine, and enjoy it.
For the next ten days, several old people never showed up, but the young man who delivered the meal gradually became acquainted with the two of them. Through constant conversation, Ye Fan and Pang Bo gradually got used to this ancient Chinese language. The teenagers are very envious of them. It is said that the disciples who have just entered the mountain gate generally do not have an independent residence.
"Three or five thatched huts, is this also considered to have its own cave?"
Ye Fan and Pang Bo put on the clothes sent by the youth, except that their hair was still very short, the others were no different from those in Lingxu Dongtian.
"You can't say that. Everything around this low mountain belongs to the two of you. If you have the ability, you can naturally open up the cave."
"Since the low mountain is ours, if we kill a deer and roast two cranes, no one will care, right?"
Hearing the two of them say this, the young man didn't dare to answer again. He felt that the two of them were really bold and their thoughts were completely different from ordinary people.
"Don't be afraid, we won't mess around. Now tell us, what exactly is the so-called practice?"
This is a question that Ye Fan and Pang Bo are very concerned about. Until now, they don't understand it at all. They just heard people talk about "Bitter Sea", "Shen Bridge" and "Other Shore" a few times. They don't know why.
The young man shook his head, but couldn't say anything. He had only entered the Lingxu cave not long ago, and he had not really embarked on the fairy road.
"Looks like you guys can't wait." At this moment, an old man with a craggy face and a young face appeared in front of the low mountain. The boy nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"You are..." Neither Ye Fan nor Pang Bo knew this old man with a ruddy complexion and long snow-white hair, who looked like an old fairy from outside the world.
"I am the elder of Lingxu Dongtian, named Wu Qingfeng, and I teach all the disciples within three years of entry."
"I have seen the old man."
"You are Welcome."
"Old man, can you improve our food first, and then go on like this. Before we cultivate immortals, we really want to become immortals. This food is too bland, and now we want to drool when we see only a grasshopper." Bo continued to complain.
The old man Wu Qingfeng said with a solemn expression: "There is so much greed in the world, and when you first enter the paradise, the first thing you have to do is to cut off the glory, clean your body and meditate. All kinds of temptations, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass.”
Hearing these words, Pang Bo really couldn't say anything. As for Ye Fan, since he didn't join the Heavenly Paradise, it was even more difficult to make any demands here.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo had many questions in their hearts, but Ye Fan couldn't open his mouth. Pang Bo was already a disciple of Lingxu Dongtian, so he didn't have any scruples. Ask Wu Qingfeng to sit on the wooden pier in front of the thatched hut with the old man and start asking various questions. They don't know anything about the so-called cultivation.
"Do you see that the sky is clean?"
"There are no clouds in the sky, the blue sky is like a wash, and it is naturally very clean." Ye Fan didn't know why he asked, but when he saw the old man looking at him, he answered.
"Wrong, the dust is endless." Old Man Wu Qingfeng opened his palm and said, "There is endless dust even in this palm and finger."
"What do you mean?" Pang Bo asked in confusion.
The old man Wu Qingfeng was very indifferent, like an old immortal outside the world, and continued: "What do you think this endless dust is?"
"What can it be, naturally it is dust."
"It's dust, and it's not dust." The old man said calmly.
"I understand that it is dust, but what is it if it is not dust?" Pang Bo asked.
"It's the world, it's a vast world." The old man Wu Qingfeng was calm and calm, speaking very naturally and calmly.
"It's a vast world... You're not joking, are you?" Pang Bo was surprised.
"You will understand in the future that this dust, every grass and every tree is one world."
"Can you... be more straightforward? I feel like I'm listening to a scripture. Although the literal meaning is easy to understand, I don't understand the deep meaning at all."
The old man Wu Qingfeng sat there, smiled faintly, and said: "I won't talk about this today, what I want to say is that there is endless dust between heaven and earth, and every dust is a world. The same is true for our bodies. , I can't see anything, but it contains endless 'doors', just like the dust between heaven and earth. The seemingly small body contains countless 'doors', constantly opening these doors and discovering the 'true self', It's meditation."
Seeing that both of them were shocked, the old man Wu Qingfeng was Gujing Wubo and asked, "Now, do you understand what cultivation is?"
"It seems...somewhat understood."
"Okay, let's understand it slowly in the future. Now, I will tell you what the sea of suffering is. There are countless methods in the world, but you can't start the immortal path from now on."
"Old man this time, you have to be more careful." Although Ye Fan and Pang Bo have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, both Ye Fan and Pang Bo understand that the initial concept is the most important.
"Everything in the world grows with age, some can last forever in the world, immortal, and some just die in the blink of an eye, and even at the click of a finger, life has passed in a hurry."
"Old man, what you said is too mysterious, what are you trying to tell us?"
The old man didn't blame him for interrupting his words, pointing to an ancient tree not far away, and said, "Can you know how old it is?"
"Naturally, you can know it, cut it down, and you will know it by counting the annual rings."
"Yes, time is ruthless, and it will always leave traces on everything. Trees have growth rings, and our bodies also have the wheel of life."
"We humans also have these things?" Ye Fan and Pang Bo felt a little ridiculous.
"The practice I'm talking about starts from the wheel of life in the human body..."
