Chapter 1207 Control yourself? Easier said than done!
"This... isn't you..." Akan said in surprise, and saw that the stone sculpture was a knight holding a long sword. His appearance and mounts and horses were exactly the same as those of the Ghost Knight. And Akan could see that the stele of october scattered here was at the top of the october spire, so the wreckage was relatively small. It seemed that the giant october pose when it fell down was the same as that of his own analysis. It was indeed broken from it and the top fell back.
"This is indeed me..." The Ghost Knight nodded, as if he was feeling a little sad. Anyone who looked at his body after his death might not feel comfortable. Moreover, this is not his body, but a sculpture.
"You are standing at the top of the tower!" Akan looked at the ghost knight in front of him with some admiration.
"There is nothing to celebrate..." The Ghost Knight said helplessly, "I would rather live as well as you. Since the Ghost Realm and Asura Realm corrupted most of the heroes, there have been fewer and fewer souls left here with their own thoughts. Most of them have only a little bit of their persistence in vowing to protect the human world, and they are still persisting. The main body of the soul has long since defected to various reincarnations..."
"The blocking attacks you encountered along the way are the persistence left by these deserters. There are not many complete souls like me who have a little bit of persistence..."
Aken asked, "There are only more than 20,000 people in our precepts. This monument is so huge. It can be said to be soaring! How many souls will it take to forge. But where do so many precepts come from?"
"The Preceptor?" The Ghost Knight was stunned, "Oh, you're wrong. This monument is not entirely composed of the heroic spirits of the Preceptor. You see, there are so many monsters and animals, and they are not preceptors. As long as they are willing to protect the human world, they are the source of the souls of this monument. This is also why, the ghost world and the demon world are so easy to corrupt these souls."
"Although those monsters and animals were angry and vowed very much at the time of fighting, they became lazy after being protected for decades. There are also many souls of ordinary human warriors who died in the real world who were summoned in the spiritual warfare, and their patience was limited. They were deceived by the ghost world and the demon world, and they gave up this arduous task and became deserters. Only those real practitioners and some people with firm personality can keep this vow."
Akan stuck out his tongue, "If it were me, I can't guarantee that I will stay here..."
The Ghost Knight smiled and said, "This is indeed not easy, but it is not without benefits. When we practice, we must be able to endure eternal loneliness and loneliness. Only by practicing can we make our souls more thorough. What makes you greedy for reincarnation is just the greed and impetuousness in your soul..."
Akan smiled and joked at Zhang Fan: "Our Master Zhang Fan must be willing, provided that Sister Green Wings is also here... Uh, of course there is Sister Dark Sakura."
"If you don't speak, no one thinks you are a mute!" Zhang Fan patted his head and turned around to ask the Ghost Knight, "So how far is the pedestal of the 'Eternal Monument' pedestal? Can you take us there?"
"Nothing is wrong. You are fighting against the Yaksha King in the Ghost Realm, and you have already explained your identity." The Ghost Knight knew Zhang Fan's team's whereabouts outside the square. Maybe he had been lonely for too long. He walked and chattered, "I was also a preceptor, leading a large team alliance. Unfortunately, most of my comrades have died in battle... Maybe one or two may still be alive, and I don't know if they have left the world of preceptors..."
"Can you still escape from the world of keeping the precepts?" Zhang Fan immediately cheered up.
The Ghost Rider looked at Zhang Fan and said with certainty, "Of course, as long as you are strong enough... Uh, your team is one of the best teams I have ever seen, but it is probably still far from leaving the world of the preceptor. If you can continue to grow, you might have this opportunity..."
"What are the conditions for those who leave the precepts? Or what standards are they met?" Aken grasped the point.
The Ghost Rider thought for a while, smiled and shook his head, "Maybe you don't want to know..."
"Let's talk, we didn't have much expectations anyway..." Akan understood that the other party might be afraid of scaring him. Since this ghost knight can stand at the top of the "Eternal Monument", he must have his strength. The image he left for Akan is that he looks a bit like the team leader Lancelot, although he dresses more like Eisen.
Ghost Rider looked at Akan, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. You are indeed one of the best teams I have ever seen. But no matter how good the team is, you need to be strong enough to get out of the world of the preceptor. Sometimes a good team will make the personal strength disappear. Because you rely too much on the team, your own abilities and character will not be effectively trained."
"……………” Aken remained silent. This was indeed a question. He also considered it. The words of the Ghost Knight only proved this again. Moreover, the Ghost Knight must be an old-fashioned keeper, and his words were very important!
The group followed the Ghost Knight while listening to him continue: "If you want to escape from the world of the preceptor, you must at least reach the realm of the controller, so that you can have the hope of getting rid of the shackles of the ring!"
"Control!" Zhang Fan, Akan Xuan, Yuan Xing and Green Wing both exclaimed. Only the book demon still looked slow, as if he knew all of these, or they had nothing to do with him.
"What level is the controller?" Akan found that there was a very in-depth question in the world of the preceptors here and would not be punished by the ring, so he boldly asked.
The Ghost Knight seems to be protected by some barrier and will not be affected by the forbidden barrier in the world of the preceptor. "The level of the controller is hard to say, but they are at least the fourth-level guardians who pass the four basic attributes of intelligence, understanding, endurance, and concentration! But the fourth-level guardians may not necessarily become the controller! The so-called controller must be able to control themselves, control their bodies, control their souls, and even control their own destiny. Because only those who can control themselves can control others!"
Akan now knows how powerful his master, the sloppy Taoist, is! Only those who can completely control themselves can be called the controller! Everyone has bad habits that they cannot change, just like Akan cannot control his mouth. Green winged dysfunction is powerful, but he cannot tolerate the contempt of his opponent. The second-level guardian of Xuanyuan Xing's concentration and endurance, but he once said that he could not fully control his life breath and would be discovered by opponents who use vitality as their perception goal.
Not to mention Zhang Fan, although he is always in the state of "no thought" and his concentration still does not meet the standards. Is the concentration of this state of meditation not the same as the concentration standard of the precepts in the world? However, Zhang Fan may not seem to be stronger than Akan when facing the temptation of a beautiful woman. At least he has so many confidants in the world of precepts.
Control yourself! How easy it is!
When Akan was practicing in Maoshan, he heard from Master Maoshan Master and Senior Brother Shouku that the first step in practicing Taoism is to lay the foundation of Taoism. The so-called Taoism is not only to cultivate the true fire of Samadhi. More importantly, to regulate breathing, adjust the body, and then be able to completely control one's breathing and body. This is a foundation! If you can't even control your body, what to talk about practicing Taoism? How can you further cultivate your soul and then control your soul!
If you cannot control your soul, your mind is distracted, your desires are constant, and you don’t know what you are doing, so how can you control your destiny! The ultimate goal of practice is to correct your destiny! And all this starts with correcting your behavior and controlling your body!
How easy is it to control yourself?
Zhang Fan and the other four were silent. It was the first time that everyone understood the true meaning of the controller. At the same time, they also understood why these controllers are powerful and the fundamental reason. Once the reason is pointed out, it is actually very simple. The difficulty lies in how we can do it. As ordinary humans, we cannot even control ourselves from shaking our feet involuntarily. When we encounter something unpleasant, we cannot control ourselves from being angry or losing our temper. When we encounter benefits, we cannot control ourselves from being happy without seeing the hunt.
Control yourself?!How easy is it?!
Akan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued to ask: "What do you mean is that even if you reach the level of a controller, you may not be able to escape the constraints of the world of the preceptor?"
The Ghost Knight seemed a little distracted. After a long time, he said to everyone: "The controller is only the basis for getting rid of the sea of suffering. If you want to get rid of the curse of the 'Changkun Ring' and get rid of the shackles of the world of the preceptor, you must surpass the controller and surpass yourself! Because the controller only understands the self and controls yourself. The 'Changkun Ring' is originally a constraint on the 'self'. If you do not break through yourself and surpass yourself, how can you get rid of yourself?!"
"Hiss--" Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air. In the past, the so-called slogan "break through the self and surpass the self" was often heard in the real world. It was like the self-motivation of a company. But with the decomposition of this ghost knight, I realized how difficult it is to truly surpass the self! Even advanced practitioners find it difficult to control themselves, so how can they surpass themselves? In this world, there are not many people who can control themselves, so where can they surpass themselves?
As we were talking, we had already arrived at a place. We saw a very wide platform in front of us. It was said to be a platform because of the introduction of the Ghost Knight. But in everyone's eyes, it was a mountain, a pyramid-shaped mountain with four cones! If the spiritual world was not too dark, everyone should be able to see this tall mountain clearly at the edge of the square!
