A figure walked quickly on the mountain path, skipping more than ten steps each time, looking very vigorous.
The door of the tall temple was closed, and Liu Mingqiang knocked on the door. A young monk opened the door, and Liu Mingqiang went straight to the area where his master, Abbot Shiyun, was.
After entering several doors, we came to a garden, where a tall and muscular monk stood in the middle of the door.
"Please report to Abbot Shiyun that lay disciple Liu Mingqiang has come to ask for an audience."
"You can see the abbot whenever you want?"
"This...I am his disciple."
"So what? Just go."
"...I am willing to wait for the master."
"as you like."
Liu Mingqiang sat on the ground meditating, closing his eyes and mumbling something.
"Tch!" the monk next to him said dismissively.
Liu Mingqiang didn't speak, he just meditated there quietly.
Two monks came over and said that Abbot Shiyun asked them to come.
Monk Zhuang smiled and invited them into the garden, while giving Liu Mingqiang a sidelong glance.
After a short time, the two monks came out and left. Soon outsiders came to see Abbot Shiyun, and Monk Zhuang let them in again.
Liu Mingqiang didn't react at all. He kept meditating next to the door. Even if a passing monk pointed at him, he didn't react.
In this way, it lasted until late at night.
Monk Zhuang said: "Go in."
"Thank you, senior brother." Liu Mingqiang stood up and clasped his hands together.
Walking through the long garden path, we came to the house. Abbot Shiyun was meditating, twisting Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Disciple Liu Mingqiang pays homage to the master!" Liu Mingqiang clasped his hands together and bent down to salute.
"How do you feel about waiting outside all day?" Shi Yun asked slowly.
"Even if you wait ten days, my disciple is willing!" Liu Mingqiang replied.
"Why? What if I don't see you after waiting for a hundred days?" Shi Yun asked with his eyes closed.
"Disciple is willing to wait forever! Listen to the master's teachings and have no regrets." Liu Mingqiang replied seriously.
"Continue walking ten steps to the side. There is a virtual door around the corner. You can enter directly without any obstruction. Why don't you go?" Shi Yun asked.
"Uh... I don't know, disciple." Liu Mingqiang was stunned.
"You don't know what tomorrow will bring, so why are you waiting for tomorrow?" Shi Yun said lightly.
"Master, please teach me!" Liu Mingqiang clasped his hands together.
"Today, today, day after day. Everything is unknown, but it is clear in the chest. The road ahead is unknown and clear, and the familiar and unintentional will wait for the time. Since you can't get in, why don't you look for other doors? Why don't you look for other ways? Why do you want to
Stubbornly standing guard at the door?" Abbot Shi Yun asked.
Three consecutive questions left Liu Mingqiang speechless.
What the master said makes sense, why don't you think of other ways? You have to wait there rigidly and dogmatically.
"Master...me." Liu Mingqiang spoke incoherently.
"There is no only one way to do anything, and there is no only one road to any destination. Let go of your mind and don't be constrained by your eyes." Shi Yun continued to twist the beads.
With a "whoosh" sound, Liu Mingqiang appeared in a dark secret realm. If he looked carefully, he saw a string of huge Buddhist beads at his feet, about two meters in diameter, surrounding him.
"Don't jump over it, don't destroy it, don't use it, just go out." Shi Yun's voice came from all directions.
"Yes." Liu Mingqiang replied respectfully.
My peripheral vision is very poor and I can’t see clearly ten meters away. But
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Liu Mingqiang knows that this place is boundless.
Looking at the beads surrounding him, he felt a little depressed.
You are not allowed to jump over it, you are not allowed to destroy it, and you are not allowed to use Taoism. So how can you get out?
Liu Mingqiang knew very well that the master was testing himself and teaching himself.
He closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
There were no ripples on the quiet lake, and the island in the distance was very quiet. Wang Tianxiang looked at it and went into the water to swim towards the island.
He soon discovered something strange. No matter how fast he went, the island was always not far ahead, but he couldn't get close.
It was supposed to be a journey of less than five minutes, but he had been swimming for nearly an hour and still hadn't arrived.
Wang Tianxiang had no choice but to swim back and return to the shore first.
This time it was normal, and we arrived in two minutes. Wang Tianxiang climbed ashore and looked at the island in front of him speechlessly.
A figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the island. It turned out to be Master Shuiye.
"Master~Master~I'm back to see you!" Wang Tianxiang waved his hand.
Shuiye said nothing, waved, turned and disappeared.
Wang Tianxiang circled around the lake and tried swimming several times, but with the same result, unable to get close to the island.
He scratched his head depressedly, thinking hard about how to get over it.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you are like a fish, you will thrive in the water." Shui Ye's voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh? If the water is clear, there will be no fish?" Wang Tianxiang said to himself in confusion. What does it mean? Why did the master suddenly say this? Is it a hint to him? If he can't reach the island, what does it have to do with fish? Is it fish?
Can I still lead you there?
"Huh?" Wang Tianxiang was shocked when he thought of this.
He stood by the water and looked carefully. The water was not particularly clear, but there were indeed some fish swimming around.
Wang Tianxiang took a deep breath and slowly dived into the water. But as soon as he approached, the fish ran away.
He used his true energy to control one, but the fish was as motionless as if it were dead.
Wang Tianxiang became even more depressed. If he controlled the fish, he would not be able to act independently. If he did not control it, he would avoid himself.
He remembered the second sentence of the master just now, "If you are like a fish, you are in the water." What does this sentence mean? Just like a fish in the water? The fish is in the water! What does that mean? Could it be about yourself?
Like a fish in the water? What's the use? You still can't get close to the island.
He surfaced, took a long breath and dived into the water again. This time he did not move, and soon the fish swam over without any fear. As soon as he moved his arms, the fish immediately fled away.
Wang Tianxiang slowly thought about it. If he blended into the fish school and made them no longer afraid, could he take him to the island?
He calmed down, closed his eyes, and drifted with the current, slowly releasing his true energy and becoming one with the water.
Wang Tianxiang felt like he was melting, gradually floating in the water, letting himself be free.
The surrounding fish slowly approached here and no longer avoided it.
The road in the forest was winding and winding, and Xie Tianyun walked forward with a meteoric stride.
After turning a corner, a group of houses stood on the hillside.
"Grandpa!" Xie Tianyun shouted as he walked.
"Ah? Tian Yun is back?" A middle-aged man straightened up and looked at him.
"Yeah, hehe!" Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"Come in quickly! I haven't seen you for so long. The old man always talks about you!" The middle-aged man opened the gate.
"Where is grandpa?" Xie Tianyun walked in impatiently.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
.
"We're in a secret realm. We'll be out in a few hours!" the middle-aged man said cheerfully.
Xie Tianyun walked through the front yard and came to the backyard filled with various herbs. It was still a familiar place and still had the same smell.
He entered the room and looked around. Nothing had changed. It was still the same decoration as when he left.
Xie Tianyun poured a cup of tea by himself and drank it in one gulp. He smacked his lips. The taste was weird. I wonder what his grandfather had changed to drink recently. Anyway, it was all good stuff.
He took off his big backpack and carefully took out everything and put it on the table.
He stood up and walked to a nearby house, which was a room for developing medicines. There were many bottles and jars of various kinds. This was where he and his grandfather studied. They often argued with each other red-faced, but in the end, his grandfather won.
"Ayun!" Xie Zhongqian's shout came from outside.
Xie Tianyun hurried out and saw his grandfather walking into the main room.
"Grandpa!" Xie Tianyun cried out.
Xie Zhongqian turned around and looked at him excitedly: "Ayun, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Grandpa, how are you doing when I'm not at home? Are they taking care of you well?" Xie Tianyun asked with concern.
"Okay, I'm living a good life. It's just that I'm not as good as you. I don't even have anyone to talk to." Xie Zhongqian said with emotion.
"Grandpa, haven't I come back to see you?" Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"You still want to go, right? Well, you have to go out more and experience more. You don't have to worry about me here. I am in good health and they are taking good care of me!" Xie Zhongqian said, holding his grandson's hand.
"Grandpa, I found some medicine when I went out this time. Take a look." Xie Tianyun pointed at the table.
"Oh?" Xie Zhongqian became interested as soon as he heard it and looked at it carefully.
He nodded sometimes and was surprised. After a long time, Xie Zhongqian said: "They are all excellent things! There is also a rare treasure! Ayun, where did you get it? This one is very rare. It is quite difficult to find it. Yeah!" Xie Zhongqian looked surprised.
"Hey! Everything is fate. We met by chance. And I also met a medicine master in the south and learned a lot." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"Okay! I just need to get to know more masters, they are all your teachers! You must ask for advice humbly! In what we do, there is no highest, only higher. No matter how much you have learned, even I am insignificant and better than us. There are too many more. Do you remember them?" Xie Zhongqian suddenly said seriously.
"Yes! I have always maintained a humble attitude and never ostentatiously. When I met an expert, I would seriously ask for advice. This time I went out and participated in many life-and-death battles, which was really thrilling. However, I did not rush forward, but waited for the opportunity. I went deep into the south I really benefited a lot from the tribes in Xinjiang and met some local medicine experts. I didn’t know a lot of knowledge. Grandpa, I gained a lot from this trip, which I can’t learn here. I hope I can go out again to see more. See, I hope grandpa will allow it." Xie Tianyun said very seriously.
"Okay, very good! Of course I allow it. You can go out after a few days! You must learn as much knowledge as possible. As the heir to the Xie family, you are under a lot of pressure! But I believe you must be qualified!" Xie Zhongqian was satisfied. nodded.
Dark clouds covered the bright moon in the sky, and the whole world was extremely dark.
In a secluded valley, a man was staggering forward.
When he came to a big stone, he went behind it and pushed through the dense bushes, revealing a very secret stone in front of him.
