04624 - Endurance

Me: "But I don't think the existing theories are pleasing to my eyes... Why do I feel that I am more confused than listening to you perfunctory after being answered directly by you?"

Dad: "So you can understand that I didn't answer many of your questions directly for your own good. Also, I didn't perfunctory you."

Me: "Well, you have always raised me carefully."

Me: "When I was young, before entering the Qi training period, was my physical condition not very good? The kind that is relatively easy to die? Although I don't think I am."

Dad: "It's not true. Your biggest problem at that time was not your body. Your physical condition has always been healthy. The problem is that you have burdened the complete memory of your previous life and the so-called memory gold that you were born with in this life. Fingers keep adding weight to your memory bank. The burden of these formations is mainly on your soul and spirit, but by the way, it also causes your body to bear excessive pressure, which is far beyond the pressure that a normal child's body can bear, so it appears that you It may not be very healthy, but it's not a physical problem, it's in the soul."

Dad: "At that time, there was a very simple solution, which was to seal your memory, which could seal all the memories of your previous life, or make you unable to remember the new memories in your current life. No matter which part you seal, Your stress is cut in half, and the body that's been bred by stress can take it with ease."

Me: "You didn't do that, because although I endured it very hard, I held on and did not reach the point of collapse until I entered the Qi training period. After entering the Qi training period, my body's firmness increased significantly , the memory is definitely not enough to crush me."

Dad: "Are you sure I didn't seal it? Maybe I sealed part of it and let it go when you get stronger?"

Me: "I have no proof. After all, if you did that, you must have a way to make me unaware that I lost some memories, but I think, I guess, you didn't do that. Although sometimes I am very slow, but If the memory really reaches the point where it is enough to crush me, if you immediately relieve my pressure at that step, such a drastic change, I think, I can still feel a little bit, I don’t feel that I have experienced such ups and downs .”

Me: "Besides, based on what I know about you, as long as I don't step on the line of collapse, you will not interfere with my natural development. Although memory weighs me down, it also polishes me and makes me My tolerance is stronger. At that time, you carefully led me to practice basic sword moves to make my body stronger and stronger, right?"

Dad: "You are more slow than you thought, because you actually stepped on the verge of collapse several times, but before I made a move, you retreated every time by yourself and closed the door of the memory bank. Close it It’s not very tight, and it opens at the touch of a touch, but it’s covered up after all, giving yourself room to breathe. Then you foolishly think that you just haven’t adapted to the new environment and new skills, and you’re just a little tired for a while.”

04625-Condition

Dad: "If your spiritual consciousness is called leapfrogging, then the first step to open the gap is not to memorize a large amount of data in the library, but to forcibly endure your past and present before you enter the Qi training period." memory. If you hadn’t laid the foundation during that period, it is not certain whether you can improve your spiritual consciousness by reading materials later.”

Me: "So, Wulinggen can really become a monk by cultivating divine consciousness?"

Dad: "Yes, but it's very difficult, very difficult. Because even in your situation, even if you have laid the foundation for cultivating spiritual consciousness, if you haven't cultivated spiritual power, your basic spiritual consciousness may not have developed. Opportunity, it is very likely that it will die young as a sprout."

Me: "It's a matter of getting started. The steps of getting started are too steep, as steep as going from a mortal to the stage of transformation into a god, and even miracles can't be climbed up. In comparison, the steps of getting started for Confucianism cultivators and fortune-tellers can be stepped on at any rate." There are not so steep steps, and the entrance of sword repair has been trimmed into a gentle slope, people who can walk, that is, people with spiritual roots can walk up."

Dad: "Gentle slopes can be made gentler, steps can be made gentler, and steep steps can be made less steep. These are what every generation of monks of ours needs to do. Not only because we have enjoyed the fruits of previous efforts, Also because when we work hard for it, we can better understand the nature of cultivation, and understand our own nature better.”

Dad: "Why can you cultivate, why can't you cultivate; why you can cultivate to a high level, why stop at a low level; why the influence of the spiritual root is so great, why the spiritual root may have no influence; why you can imitate others, why can't you imitate Others... many, many questions and answers are actually contained in the introductory materials distributed all over the world. They are not mysterious, but they contain the most mysterious information, which is as mysterious as how to become a fairy. The qualitative change from a mortal to a monk, a monk To the qualitative change of the immortal."

Me: "I did an experiment with Duan Yanzhou. Do you think he will bring surprises?"

Dad: "It's not reproducible, it's not enough to be a general introductory textbook, and it requires too much innate aptitude. It can change Duan Yanzhou's personal future, but it can't achieve a group effect."

Dad: "Many people think that it is harsh for a monk to have a spiritual root for entry, and for a top ten disciple to have at least three spiritual roots, and it is cruel to no spiritual root and four or five spiritual roots. The most versatile entry requirements that monks have been looking for over the years. Fortune tellers and Confucianism cultivators are relatively less demanding of spiritual roots, but the consequence is that they can only become niche professions, because their entry requirements are actually more stringent and strict. It can’t even be expressed with clear standards.”

Dad: "The clearer the conditions and rules are, the more feasible they are, and the more likely they are to be changed, even though they seem cold."

04626-Probability

Me: "It is because of the clarification of the importance of the spiritual root that we have the spiritual root for washing, and the teaching and resource supply methods for the single spiritual root and the five spiritual roots are distinguished. The monks with different spiritual roots are also aware of their possible cultivation forms. With confidence in mind, five spiritual roots will not compare their cultivation speed with a single spiritual root, but will work hard on the combination of changes in spiritual power attributes. However, such divisions may also become stereotyped prejudices, bringing about avoidable suppression and give up."

Dad: "probability problem. In the contemporary cultivation environment, if the same resource is provided to a single spiritual root, if the probability of becoming a god of transformation is [-]%, then the probability of this resource being provided to five spiritual roots to become a god of transformation is less than [-]%." One in [-]. It is impossible to waste resources like this just for the sake of fairness. This era cannot afford to waste them, unless Wulinggen can prove that there is a [-]% probability of cultivating God Transformation after obtaining resources, or at least [-]% one."

Dad: "When providing resources, we actually just used the spiritual root to screen the probability once, and then tilted the resources to those beginners who have a higher probability of becoming a high-level cultivation. There is no doubt that some people can break the current screening Standards, for this group of people, the current standard of resource inclination is to suppress them, but their number is too small, and their achievements have not reached the level of earth-shaking, otherwise they themselves can force the whole world to serve them Change the rules."

Dad: "If you want the world to conform to your own preferences, then you have to work hard on your own. Expecting others to conform to you out of morality, sympathy, justice and other feelings, in the final analysis is nothing more than looking at other people's faces. Put your own It is not always safe to place your fate on others."

Me: "After the Nascent Soul Stage, the awareness of appearance and gender will fade away. The Hehuan Sect with a strong appearance awareness is no longer a second-rate sect. Why is the Yanxing Sect with a strong gender awareness a stable first-rate sect?"

Dad: "Because the awareness of gender is not the foundation of Yanxingmen, the pursuit of fairness is. Yanxingmen only understands broader fairness by understanding the fairness in gender. Appear in the image of a female cultivator's protector, but don't forget that the original intention of the Yanxingmen's ancestors to establish Yanxingmen has nothing to do with protection."

Dad: "The original intention of the Jianpai is not consistent with the initial image of the Jianpai. This is rare, especially as a long-term stable development of the sect. This contradiction means that either one of the two contradictory parties killed the other One side, that is, one side no longer exists, naturally there is no contradiction; or, the two sides of the contradiction merge, and the contradiction is no longer a contradiction, but a joint force."

04627-False Proposition

Me: "Yan Xingmen is the latter?"

Dad: "Yes, and not only. The Yanxing sect has also absorbed and digested other contradictions in the development process. On the one hand, it is extremely stubborn, on the other hand, it is extremely tolerant, from rigid to soft. The sect of pure female cultivators, at the beginning, disciples They have extremely strengthened their gender awareness, sometimes to the point that they are incompatible with the disciples of outside sects; after they have reached a high level of cultivation, they seem to be able to understand the thinking of the ancestor Wu Wei of Jianpai: a sect of pure female cultivators may be able to Developed a wonderful kung fu.”

Dad: "In this way of thinking, the two concepts of 'female' and 'monk' seem to have blurred the extended meaning, and returned to the basic meaning. It's just a group, a group suitable for a specific experiment It's just a screening criterion, like a cold number, lacking in warmth, yet objective and easy to use."

Dad: "When Yan Xing's disciples get rid of their strong gender consciousness and don't care about gender, they can also laugh at many differences, and they don't treat them differently, and they don't care about different treatment. Entering the WTO, and then being born, is such a routine process It’s just that it can be very time-consuming to do.”

Me: "What are the elders of Yanxingmen like? Are they 'very feminine' in the stereotype?"

Dad: "If you look at them with stereotypes, yes, they are very feminine."

Me: "How about looking at them with the prejudiced eyes of the female cultivators of Jianzong?"

Dad: "That's very manly."

Me: "If you look at it without gender awareness?"

Dad: "Gender doesn't matter."

Me: "It's kind of weird."

Dad: "It's not surprising. It's like a colorless and transparent ice cube. It will reveal whatever color it is placed in the background. It doesn't care about these colors. Most of the elders of the Yanxing Sect are related to Their Jianpai patriarchs have the same thinking: I want to see where the Pure Female Cultivation sect will go."

Dad: "Theoretically speaking, the upper limit of the pure female cultivator sect should be the same as the upper limit of the entire cultivation world. Because 'female cultivator' is really too big a concept, especially the Yanxing sect only accepts female disciples, but they don't Restricting their own disciples from contacting outside men, so there is actually no gender restriction, and therefore, their 'pure female cultivator' is actually a false proposition."
