06004 - what does the ceiling mean

Me: "For spiritual plants, it is planting, and for spiritual beasts, it is control. Ms. Yunxia only said that the old lady can't follow the path of a beast master, but she didn't say that she can't follow the path of a planter...Why?"

Brother: "If you're interested, think about it yourself, or discuss it with Pei Miao. I'm not interested in analyzing her with you."

Me: "Then let's discuss the issue of controlling people. We all know that beast masters and spirit beasts have an equal relationship. Most spirit beasts do not consider partnering with beast masters as a shame, and many spirit beasts will take the initiative Cooperate with the beast master, in order to be able to be served comfortably. Why is the way of mastering people so exclusive? Why can't the master and the master see their relationship as a specific kind of "helping both of them to practice" , equal forms of cooperation'?"

Brother: "Don't think about this matter from a moral point of view. Many problems in cultivation have nothing to do with morality, but are based on more essential things. The focus of this matter lies in the natural differences between humans and spirit beasts."

Me: "Spiritual beasts are born with cultivation, and they can reach their natural upper limit without cultivation, but the solid existence of the ceiling makes them not have much motivation to work harder. Humans will definitely not have cultivation without cultivation, and cultivation Now, unless you cut your own way, there will be basically no ceiling, so humans will pay more attention to themselves, and will not give the initiative to the beast master like spirit beasts?"

Brother: "I can't hand it over either. If human beings hand over the initiative of cultivation and let other people's cultivation drive their own cultivation, that is a furnace. Do it, and other outsiders are not easy to criticize, as long as he reaches a consensus with his master. But the problem is, it can't be reached."

Brother: "Because controlling people is definitely different from controlling beasts, but it must not be a stove-sucking cauldron. After all, we all know that relying on a stove-sucking cauldron alone cannot reach a high level of cultivation, so this is not enlightened. Therefore, in order to become enlightened, As an example, it relies on distorting some things, so that the people being controlled have a ceiling like a spirit beast, and in order to ensure that people can still have peace of mind after being knocked out of the ceiling, they also fooled those people."

Me: "What does the ceiling mean to the Beastmaster?"

Brother: "Rules? Inheritance?"

Me: "Small world?"

I stare at the furball.

Fuqiu: "Did you perceive anything when the ceiling of my cultivation was broken?"

No.It may be because my cultivation base was still low at that time, and I was not yet able to detect vague changes in the rules.Presumably the same is true for the beast masters at the low cultivation stage. They just experience the materials first-hand, and it is not until they have reached a high cultivation level that those perceptual cognitions turn into rational understanding.Therefore, in the textbooks of beast masters, it has never been systematically mentioned why beast masters can be upgraded by raising spirit beasts. That is the field of high cultivation, and there is no unified textbook for high cultivation. Record snippets.

06005-Main occupation, auxiliary occupation, and others

Brother: "Although you can also raise spirit beasts and get along with them for a long time, you haven't formed the thinking of a beast master, so you shouldn't be able to receive many spiritual inspirations related to spirit beasts. Just like you can also make alchemy , but alchemy will not help you upgrade. For you, other professions are just skills, unless you analogize them to the sword repair profession when studying these skills, otherwise those skills will not bring you substantial improvement."

Brother: "It's probably the difference between work and career in the mortal world. Work is just for salary, and in the end it's just a living. Only career can make people enrich their lives and even leave their names forever."

Brother: "Alchemy, refining tools, drawing symbols, etc., from Qi training to Nascent Soul skills, can all be learned according to the script. After learning, you, a layman, may be able to innovate and invent powerful new skills, but you can achieve it. The basic spiritual power and thinking of these skills are cultivated by you in the sword repair profession, without your main profession, you will not have enough spiritual power to simulate other skills."

Brother: "The main profession and the auxiliary profession are all areas that can lead you to improve your essence. Even if you use other professions, they are just extra performance after your essence has been improved. They will not affect your strength growth after throwing them away. part."

Me: "Did Zeng Qi really minor in instrument repair?"

Brother: "At this stage, yes."

Me: "Maybe it won't be after the Golden Core stage?"

Brother: "I'll know when the time comes."

Me: "How can I judge whether the skills of a profession have directly brought me an essential improvement, or through the indirect improvement brought about by its effect on the sword repair profession?"

Brother: "It depends on the feeling. Since the details of each person's cultivation base improvement are different, others cannot judge for you."

Me: "But I can't analyze it myself?"

Brother: "Then you can only continue to analyze. When you can analyze clearly, you may begin to recognize your own way."

Me: "Yuanying stage?"

Brother: "If it's a senior brother, the golden core stage is enough, and even in the foundation stage, he has already started to have vague ideas."

06006-focus

Me: "Then if my degree of ignorance is extremely high, wouldn't it be possible to get the stage of transformation before I can start to recognize it?"

Brother: "It shouldn't be, because if you don't have a relatively clear concept about it, you probably won't be able to reach the stage of becoming a god. The stage of transforming into a god cannot be achieved by luck or foreign objects, it must be the result of the accumulation of absolute strength. There may be a confused Nascent Soul stage, but there will be no confused Shenhua stage except for pretending to be confused."

Me: "Is the little uncle awake too?"

Brother: "What makes you think that little uncle is not sober? Although Elder Qi sometimes acts impulsively, but he is impulsive because he is unwilling to suppress himself on the premise of understanding the consequences. That is his sober choice .And what I mean when I say that they are sober in their own ways, it does not mean that they are sober about everything in the world. The things that they are not interested in in the stage of transformation may still be confused or at a loss. I don't bother to solve the confusion, because it has nothing to do with them."

Brother: "While being absolutely clear about one Tao, it will inevitably be accompanied by the convergence of attention, because the energy is spent on the most important few places, and other aspects cannot be taken care of for the time being. Accurately distinguish the important things to me. Whether it is important or not, this is the key. After you have dealt with the areas that must be important to you, you can methodically spread your attention to discover more that may be important to you in the future.”

Brother: "Don't take everything at once, but only take what you can handle every step of the way."

Brother: "Don't be greedy, and don't let your abilities be undone."

Me: "Who do you think will become a god first, you or your sister?"

Brother: "I'm smarter than her, so it should be me."

Me: "It's not that my sister is not smart, she just doesn't want to think about it. Sometimes, especially at important moments, this kind of one-track mind helps to concentrate and not be distracted."

Brother: "I'll know after a few hundred years. During Qi Qi Building and the early stage of Golden Core, my cultivation speed was always slower than Pei Miao, but after that my speed gradually equaled Pei Miao, and then surpassed her, so I and Only she can conceive a baby together. After conceiving a baby, my cultivation methods and hers have not changed greatly, and the obvious change in cultivation level is not obvious for the time being, but by extension, my cultivation speed should continue to be faster than hers, and if there is no Great changes, and will continue to maintain this trend until we become gods of transformation."

Me: "Cultivation, how can it be possible that there will be no major changes for hundreds of years? Maybe you have been smooth in the early stage, but suddenly stuck in the late stage of Yuanying, and the old lady is not stuck even though she is slower, so you can only Watching her pass you and enter the Nascent Soul Peak."

Brother: "Yeah, it's possible that Pei Miao and I were stuck in the Nascent Soul stage, watching you enter the Nascent Soul, and then surpass us in cultivation, and become the God of Transformation before us."

06007-Learning and adjustment

Me: "But if I am confused, I will not be able to enter Huashen, and I will be very dangerous. My current cultivation mainly depends on my spiritual root. After the Nascent Soul Stage, the power of my spiritual root becomes smaller and smaller until it is almost zero. I have to understand my cultivation on a deeper level, so that I can continue to strengthen myself. I can no longer just follow the courses that my father arranged for me, I must learn to make my own schedule."

Me: "But can I? I can't see what I'm doing, can I make a schedule to follow my way? If I can't, I will practice in all directions, can my way be maintained smoothly?"

Brother: "You have to distinguish clearly whether what you are confused about is the area inside or outside your Dao. I think you are quite clear about key issues, and what you are confused about is trivial matters. For example, you can clearly understand Tell the Shah League what will make you refuse to go near them again."

Me: "I just misappropriated the bottom line rules of Yunxiazong."

Brother: "There is no difference. When you recognize Yunxiazong's bottom line from the bottom of your heart and feel uncomfortable when you see others crossing that bottom line, then it also becomes your own bottom line, that is, it becomes part of your own Taoism. The Tao of a monk is not built out of thin air. When you grow up, you keep in contact with the outside world and learn knowledge from the outside world, so you constantly absorb the materials from the outside world to build your own Tao. When you can’t figure it out, you Of course, you can put yourself in various environments, discover the parts you like in each environment, and combine them together, which is the prototype of your Tao."

Brother: "On the basis of the prototype, you continue to refine. Even if you like foreign things, it is impossible to completely follow your wishes, so you eliminate the parts that do not meet your wishes, and your Tao will be fully formed. "

Me: "It seems quite simple to put it this way, is it just a hard work?"

Brother: "Almost, many things can be achieved by persistent efforts. The so-called talent determines the upper limit theory, the upper limit of monks in the main world is probably at the level of immortality? So in modern times, there is no monk who has reached the level of fighting the upper limit. , so it’s really just hard work.”

Brother: "Of course, the effort has to be directional. Some demons actually work very hard, but the direction is too tragic. It's completely a negative effect of achievement. You can't learn from them."

Me: "The main reason why the top ten have a higher power rate is that they taught the disciples to find the right direction? From the beginning of holding hands, to later guiding the disciples to find, and finally letting the disciples find the direction by themselves , The master is on the sidelines, until the final disciple finds it independently, and the disciple also becomes the master."

Me: "The three majors can go through this process stably, the seven majors can basically get to the step where the master knows everything, but sometimes they may not be able to complete the whole process, and the second-rate sects often stop when they reach the step of instructing disciples to find them. The sect may not even take the first step properly."

Me: "Pyramids are everywhere."
