0020_No thinking does not mean no feeling

Memory is really a wonderful thing. It wasn't until I remembered all the things that are dispensable and unnecessary that I didn't realize that there are so many things that people ignore in daily life.

However, it should also be largely ignored.Otherwise, when you go shopping, remember how many bricks are on the ground, how many passers-by wear skirts, how many have long hair, what these people say, what smell they have on their bodies, whether the doors of the shops are glass or wooden, etc. How many kinds of wooden door frame patterns are there... I can't go shopping in this street, and my brain will spontaneously ignite and destroy in minutes.

I can memorize randomly because I can directly archive these memories without looking at them immediately, that is to say, I actually ignored them at the time, but I can retrieve them at any time later.

In fact, what I want to express is that although people are not aware of many things, they have experienced them and stored them in their brains.

——Sigh, I still use my brain to memorize it as a memory. In my previous life, I said I was used to it. Even if I doubt this kind of saying in this life, I don’t know what to change it to.

When I was just born in this life, I thought the coherent memory was like this: I died after being buried in the snow, and the next moment I became a newborn baby.

Later, as I became more proficient at controlling my golden fingers, I found that I actually missed a long, long period of experience, not even the ten months in the womb, but more, drifting through more places , there is more time between the previous life and this life.

I don't know if the process of 'floating' exists as a ghost. My brother said no, because: "After the death of ordinary people, the soul will quickly disintegrate, disperse, and become very, very small soul particles, which are similar to aura particles. It's the same kind of unconscious thing. Until it is attracted by a fertilized egg, a large number of soul particles belonging to different people in the previous life enter the developing fetus and condense into a new soul. If it can exist in the form of a 'ghost', it must have cultivation Yes, or there is a great obsession against the dissipation of instinct, obviously, you were not satisfied with the two items in your previous life."

In other words, I don't even have the qualifications to be a ghost.So what is the 'Gone with the Wind' in my memory?Although that part of the memory is very fuzzy, and even my golden fingers can't restore it completely, but there are indeed... Ah, many soul particles, my memory is actually composed of the places where many soul particles floated, because it is too much. Too many are too complicated, so they appear blurred when mixed together.

"This kind of argument is somewhat reasonable." My sister expressed support, "'memory' has become the link of soul particles, and the soul particles interact and maintain the memory. In the end, a large number of soul particles that originally belonged to the second brother's previous life entered the ginger In the womb of the senior, so the second brother has completely retained the memory of the previous life in this life, and also has more talents related to memory."

"So where is the obsession?" My brother retorted, "It sounds like the second brother cares about the memory of his previous life very much, but does he actually care? There is something that he absolutely does not want to forget, even if he dies ?"

I really don't want to be involved in the quarrel between the two of them, but since I was asked by name, I can only say: "There is nothing I can't forget. I think I died quite peacefully in my previous life. Although it was an accident, it was nothing. Pain, there is nothing to give up, and there is no strong desire such as living a lifetime, not wanting to die, saving me... "

The three of us were confused together, and in the end it was Dad who rescued us from the confusion.Oh, he didn't answer the question, he just said: "Can you figure out the answer in a daze? I'm going to practice swords in such a free time." Then he stared at us practicing swords all day.

——Hey, those twins and I are on a much different level, Dad, you actually let us practice together?My fragile skin...it hurts when it hurts.

0021_age is a secret

In the cultivation world, age is a taboo topic, regardless of gender.

When I was young, I didn't understand this, so I asked my father very straightforwardly: "How old are you this year?"

In fact, I'm just simply curious about how much a cultivator can live.

When my father answered, his expression remained the same, and he said, "It's been too long, I don't remember."

At that time, I believed it, because in my previous life, I often couldn't remember how old I was, and I had to subtract the year of birth from the current year to determine it.This is when he was only in his 30s and [-]s, and my father’s age has to be doubled even if he is [-] or [-] years old. It is normal for him to be unable to remember clearly.

Later I realized how naive I was.In the same example as in the previous life, poor memory, apart from illness, is mostly caused by aging.The monks have no troubles in this regard.Of course they will grow old and die of old age. The higher the level of cultivation, the longer the life expectancy. However, apart from legends, there have been no examples of immortality.Living for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, there is still an end.

However, the aging of monks is not the same as that of ordinary people.Cultivation can keep the body above the average level of activity until the moment of death, especially the activity of the mind, that is, it will not be old and confused-of course, stubbornness and disobedience are another problem. .

My father is still at the peak age according to the life expectancy standard of Huashen Almighty - this can be seen from the appearance.Although Da Neng's appearance can be customized, they all have an original appearance, which is the appearance that can best display their strength. My father is a beautiful middle-aged man with a very good memory.What's more, people are also judged by themselves, age is just a matter of subtraction, as long as you don't forget when you were born, and then know what year it is now, wouldn't you come out at your own age?

Unlike the mortal world, which involves changing dynasties, several dynasties have been experienced for thousands of years. The addition and subtraction of the calendar is cumbersome, and the cultivation world has its own set of separate calendars. The day when the immortal's power ascended was regarded as the first year of the cultivation calendar, and it has accumulated to the present thirty-seven thousand two hundred and sixteen years without interruption.

No matter how small my father's family was, it was still a family with a tradition of cultivation. He knew the cultivation calendar since he was a child. My father must have known how many years he was born in the cultivation calendar before he started to cultivate.And the year of birth, together with the month, day, and hour of birth, constitutes the horoscope of birth, which is a very important thing, and it is used in many calculations related to oneself.Therefore, it is impossible for my father to forget when he was born, so it makes no sense not to know how old he is.

"So what if you know?" My sister squinted at me, "I just don't want to tell you. Does it sound good to say it's hundreds or thousands of years old?"

I wondered: "Cultivators still care about this kind of thing? Long life means high cultivation level. Isn't this something to be proud of?" There is no such thing as an average lifespan for monks, and it doesn't mean that the older you get, the closer you are to it. Death, what is there to avoid?

My sister: "Father is modest."

I was sure I heard teeth grinding, I looked at my brother and asked, "Then may I know your age?"

My sister jumped up and said, "No!" Well, they were both born on the same day, so if you ask one, you get two.

My brother chuckled: "I don't mind, I was born on the third and sixth of the cultivation calendar..."

My sister set fire to it, and then the two started fighting as usual.

I watched the two of them fight calmly, and thought: At least I know that the twins are older than 210 and six years old, and I am less than a fraction of them.

0022_The twins who lost their whereabouts

Looking through my previous essays, I found that the probability of twins is quite high, but in fact this is an illusion caused by incomplete records. In fact, after the age of three, I can only see them for a few days a year. The total time I spent together was less than half a year, which also included the time they helped take care of my mother before and after her death.

Oh, of course, this kind of limited time together is not because they have any opinion on me, they have no opinion on my mother, after all, they are hundreds of years older than me, when my mother and my father meet, their Niang has also been dead for hundreds of years, so there is no conflict to arise.

There is an old saying that 'an older brother is like a father and a sister-in-law is like a mother'. Although my father is not dead and I have no sister-in-law, the twins basically raised me as a son instead of a younger brother. After all, the age difference is too big up.Moreover, judging from the overall marriage rate and birth rate in the cultivation world, it is still unknown whether the two of them will get married and have children. Maybe they will raise a child like me in this life. Dedicated.

They didn't stay with me for a long time because of Yunxiazong's rules.

The Yunxia Sect strictly restricts disciples in the Qi training period to leave the sect. Unless it involves life and death or certain places that can only be visited during the Qi training period, there are only two ways to leave after entering the Yunxia Sect. One, enter the foundation building period , two, was expelled.

Any visits to relatives and friends should be resolved by letter.Counting on a one or two month holiday to go home and have a reunion after Chinese New Year?If you strongly demand in the first year of entry, pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, if you have to go home, then you can reluctantly allow it, and save it later.Qi training period is such an important stage, how can there be time to waste one or two months every year, with the average aptitude of Yunxia Sect disciples, it takes a few years to build a foundation, wouldn't it be good to make a breakthrough early in cultivation with peace of mind?

The disciples in the foundation building period are required to complete at least one sect mission every month, and they will receive it according to their level at the mission distribution office.Most of these tasks can only be completed by going out of the sect. At that time, the Yunxia Sect didn't let the disciples go out, but drove the disciples out.However, it is not impossible for disciples to pick up the internal missions of the sect, but the number of such missions is limited, and there is no way if they can't get them. The monthly missions must be completed anyway.

The disciples of the Jindan stage also have to complete the task, but the time is extended, at least once a year.Of course, the difficulty must be much greater than that of the foundation building period, and it might take a year to complete a task.If you can’t complete it, you can only take it on yourself. Whether it’s counting the failure of this task and starting a new task from the beginning, or taking up the time of the next task to continue with the previous task, there is always a task that must be completed every year.

Note that it is 'completed', and failure is not considered complete.Ten in ten years, a hundred in a hundred years, one task takes too much time, and the time for other tasks will be reduced accordingly. Anyway, the number of completions cannot be reduced, otherwise the task debt will have to be paid off in the Nascent Soul Stage.

At the Nascent Soul stage, you will be a senior expert of Yunxia Sect, and there will be no more task constraints. If you want to stay in the sect or want to travel around, it depends on your personal wishes. There are no hard and fast rules. The only requirement is to start leading disciples.

The Nascent Soul Stage is the backbone of Yunxia Sect guarding the sect. Most of the time, they will stay in the sect. If they go out, they usually either bring their juniors to practice, such as going to a secret realm, or the juniors are bullied and go to town, or where There are any rare and exotic beasts to grab resources, in short, they all have clear goals.Understanding common customs and training the mind in the world of mortals are what Zhu Jindan should do, and Yuanying has already passed that stage.

When it's time to transform into a god, for example, my father is a trump card and a protective umbrella in Yunxiazong. He can't easily appear in front of outsiders, and he can't even see the disciples of this sect. It can take tens or hundreds of years to retreat once.When these human-shaped nuclear weapons go out, except for the formal communication between the sect and the sect, they usually have to be disguised and cannot be recognized by others, otherwise everyone will be trembling everywhere they go, so it is better to stay in the sect to cultivate their morality Woolen cloth.

In this regard, the Mahayana period is the same as the God Transformation period. It is said that they have returned to the basics on the outside, and they are no different from ordinary people. Just saying, I have never seen the Mahayana period, it is too far away.In fact, if it weren't for having a good father, with my current cultivation level in the Qi training stage, even the Jindan stage would be a very distant existence for me, let alone ridiculing the Spirit Transformation stage at will.

My brothers and sisters are now in the Jindan period, which is the most active level of the Yunxia Sect. They are very busy and don't really have much time to spend with me. Instead, they are my father in the transformation stage, and there is no need to leave the sect. Things, you can stare at me every day after you don't retreat for a while.

For my father, the time spent in cultivating me from a baby to the foundation-building stage can only be regarded as a short period of time. His concept of time has long been different from that of normal people.

Specifically, he described it like this: "A certain time I talked about being a little late, and I brought you up."

Come on, I never saw you talk to anyone.

My dad laughed: "How old are you? There are so many things you haven't seen."

The combined age of my two lifetimes is not enough for one retreat, so I can only: "..."
