There wasn't much time left for Su Che. In fact, Su Che didn't have the character to lie down and let things go.
After arriving in the deep mountains and dense forests, a week has passed in the blink of an eye. This week can't be said to have done nothing, but at least it has not helped much in improving the realm of cultivation.
But more than half of the fifteen days had been consumed.
There is only less than a week left to improve your realm.
The goal is also very clear. If you want to pass the first level, the first and most basic thing is to reach the Tai Chi realm!!
Because now Wenren Nongchao has been able to exert his strength in the middle stage of Tai Chi realm...
If I want to compete with it in the tenth test of Tianji Sect, I must at least reach the Tai Chi realm!!
Today's Tianyan realm is in the early stage, and there are still four small realms before it can break through the Taiji realm: the middle stage, the late stage, the peak, and the perfection stage.
The task is not too big.
"Old ghost, do you think there is hope for this goal?"
To be honest, Su Che himself felt that it was a bit fanciful.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that even the great master Yang Dingtian who was present now would feel like a fool after hearing these words.
But it happened that the old naughty boy in front of him was very cynical, and he happened to be disrespectful of heaven and earth, and not inferior to gods and Buddhas.
He only said: "Everything and everything lies in the word 'enlightenment'. To simplify it a little more, to put it bluntly, it only lies in the word 'enlightenment'."
"If you are enlightened, traveling a thousand miles in a day is normal. If you are not enlightened, all the time accumulated will be useless..."
As soon as these words came out, Su Che fell into confusion.
There is a saying that it is better to have no books than to believe in all the books.
With this sentence, it seems that hope has been ignited.
But it just seemed like there was no hope at all.
The key issue is that there are many interpretations of the word understanding. Ten thousand people have ten thousand understandings, and they are all different.
"Let's go, let's go..."
Su Che hesitated for a long time and had no choice but to wave his hands and not think about him: "Now that I have come, I will make peace with you. I have you, the old ghost, to protect me. I will know if I understand this way or not!!"
"good!"
The old ghost nodded approvingly: "Boy, in fact, at your age, with Tian Yan's cultivation level, your understanding is really good."
"It's just that you have considered everything in the world..."
"You are also familiar with fortune telling by mountain doctors..."
"I know better about astronomy and geography, I can also read ten lines at a glance, and have a photographic memory... But these are all human abilities, not gods, Tao, or Tathagata."
"Have you ever considered, what is beyond the sky? Where is the sky beyond the sky?"
"In the vast world, who are you? Who are you?"
"Who was I before I was born? Who was I when I was born? If all my dharmas are empty, my soul is separated, and my body is ashes, who am I then? If I live as long as the heaven and earth, and live forever with the sun and the moon
, who was I then?”
"The wonders of the universe and galaxies, looking at the splendid galaxies, heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts, scales, feathers and kun, among the six paths, how many people can comprehend it, and how many people have ever wanted to comprehend it?"
"The great success of the picture is in the end of the image, and the subtle words are spoken but the body is respected; in the face of the evil deeds of seductiveness, the six gates are in trouble..."
Su Che listened to the old ghost's words while adding his own thoughts and ideas.
Sometimes I interrupted him, and sometimes I listened quietly without expressing my own opinions.
No one expected that the two of them just started chatting from the initial starting point. As they talked, the old ghost taught students according to their aptitude, and unknowingly, their words became profound...
The old ghost said: "I am not all things, all things are not me, all things are me, I am all things, I am me, but I am not me..."
"Among the Five Elements and Six Paths, if you know who you are, you are not you. If you don't know who you are, you are you... This is the Tao. The enlightened one generates laws from the heart, and the cultivator uses the laws.
heart of……"
The old ghost's words became more and more obscure and profound. Su Che was able to comprehend a lot at first. However, when he talked about the six paths of reincarnation and the stars outside the sky, Su Che's mind showed up from time to time.
There are scenes of blazing hell, and sometimes a dreamy realm of tranquility and tranquility like heaven...
The old ghost kept talking, and Su Che listened carefully regardless of whether he understood it or not.
Time passed by one minute and one second. In the middle of the meal, the girl from Huanqingxi prepared the meal. She wanted to invite Su Che to eat, but she saw that Su Che was still sitting and talking with her friends, so she didn't dare to disturb her anymore...
It was getting dark and dawning, and the meal time passed in the blink of an eye. The two of them were still sitting cross-legged, with their eyes slightly closed. From the beginning, they made sounds and talked, and then the sounds gradually disappeared, but they still remained motionless, as if they were in meditation.
Generally speaking, it's like entering a deserted place...you can't wake them up and can't drive them away. In this way, Huanqingxi dare not disturb you anymore...
After that, she began to formulate a training plan for herself. During the day, she practiced martial arts continuously and did not dare to be lazy. At night, she sat next to Su Che and listened to Su Che and the old ghost in their dreams.
In the conversation, a sentence suddenly popped up, and she tried her best to understand it without missing a word. If she could understand, she would understand it. If she couldn't understand it, she would put it in her head first. She would memorize it by rote to prevent herself from forgetting...
For example, she remembered: "Practice is to control the nature, enlightenment is to control the nature..."
I also remembered that "the key to Zen wisdom is the so-called "illumination and silence", which are complementary to each other. "Illumination is inseparable from silence, and silence is inseparable from sunshine..."
Although it was very difficult to understand and could only understand bits and pieces, she unexpectedly found that these words, like magic, could tear her soul out of her body and let her see
There are some scenes that I have never seen before, such as Bodhidharma Forum, Abi Hell, and dreams of heaven. Some are good, some are bad, some are the realm of gods that make people feel relaxed and happy, and some are the thrilling Thousand Layers of the Deep Sea...
The stars are moving in the sky, and time passes day after day...
By the time Su Che regained consciousness, Huan Qingxi no longer remembered how many meals she had cooked during these days, or how many dishes she had cleaned without using a single chopstick.
The old ghost also completed his task. He slapped the insects that had not moved on his body for many days, stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and made a crackling sound...
Then he patted Su Che. Su Che's body was also covered with dust, and there were even spiders forming webs...
The old ghost said: "Boy, your understanding is really good. In seven days, you can reach the Tai Chi realm..."
Su Che was not surprised by all this, because for seven days, the stars were flowing. In the illusion, he was caught by the old ghost and wandered away from the famous mountains and rivers. He traveled around the universe and the stars, seeing the vastness of the sky and the depth and breadth of the earth, but it was not enough to realize the truth.
Invincible, but enough to understand...
Su Che raised his hand and looked at the lines on his palm. He was neither sad nor happy. He only murmured: "In the blink of an eye, I have reached the Tai Chi realm..."
"Senior Laogui, thank you very much. Please cherish the days ahead!!"
The old ghost waved his hand: "We will meet again in a hundred days. Don't forget to promise me then. I need to ask you for a seal!!"
Su Che held up his hands and said: "Remember!! Have a nice trip, senior, please go slowly without seeing me off..."
"Farewell!"
The old ghost disappeared quickly.
Su Che looked back at Huan Qingxi and asked her, "How long has it been?"
"It's been seven days, and it's early morning."
"Today is the seventh day of sitting and discussing Taoism, and the fifteenth day of our coming to the dense forest in the mountains?" Su Che asked with wide eyes.
"Yes." Huan Qingxi nodded: "Brother Su, do you want to go to Tianjimen to fulfill the contract?"
"Yes!!" Su Che counted the time with his fingers: "We don't have much time, let's go, follow me to Tianjimen!! Now that I am in the Tai Chi realm, it is easy to deal with Wen Ren and Cao Chao!!"
