Many people know that the peak, as the name implies, is the top or the end. For example, the top of a mountain or the end of a road can be called the peak.
However, what is the end of spiritual practice?
The great figures in ancient legends can cover the sky with their hands, shake the earth with their feet, have supernatural powers, vast magic power, and are omnipotent. Many people think that these eternal heroes and geniuses are the pinnacle existence, and they are the gods who control the rules of the world.
However, ancient books record that people as powerful as these gods, gods, and demons still did not stop practicing, but instead worked harder and harder.
What does this mean?
Life is like spiritual practice, and there is no end to practice.
Cultivation, just two words, brings different meanings to every practitioner. The charm of Taoism is infinite, the ancient meaning is profound, and it makes people think.
No one knows what the pinnacle of spiritual practice is, because no one has ever truly reached the pinnacle.
"The way to the top..." Mr. Xuan was startled for a moment, then his face was full of wonder, and he smiled happily: "Okay! Very good! Such ambition and courage, comparable to a big shot!"
Lin Yufeng scratched his head and smiled modestly: "Grandpa Xuan, start practicing hard now."
Mr. Xuan nodded with a smile, then waved his sleeves and robe, and five wooden stakes flew out of the woods.
Seeing this, Lin Yufeng was surprised and said: "Grandpa Xuan, is this the wooden stake you are using?"
"That's right, today is your first time of hard training. You will try it out with five wooden stakes first, and you will continue to increase the number in the future." Old Xuan tapped his finger lightly, and the five wooden stakes suddenly floated on the pool.
Lin Yufeng, who was standing at the foot of the water pool, stared at the five wooden stakes in front of him, took a deep breath, and braced himself.
He must take the three stages of the penance plan seriously and not be careless in order to gain anything.
If he can persevere, the combination of physical strength, thunder power, and reaction speed will definitely be able to hold down his peers without any suspense.
"Okay, let's begin!"
Mr. Xuan shouted low, waved his sleeves, and one of the wooden stakes immediately flew towards Lin Yufeng like a runaway horse.
"Whoosh!"
As the wooden pile approached, the sound of cold wind broke out.
"Here we come!" Lin Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly and swept his peripheral vision to another place in the water pool.
Without hesitation, when the wooden stake was approaching, Lin Yufeng kicked hard with both feet and jumped to another foothold.
The wooden stake's attack failed, and it suddenly made a sharp turn and flew towards it again.
Although Lin Yufeng dodged the blow, he still did not relax at all. When he saw the wooden stake flying towards him again, he seized the opportunity and jumped to another foothold.
The wooden stake failed again. Just when Lin Yufeng thought that the former would turn again, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Behind him, the howling sound of cold wind suddenly sounded.
"Is the second stake starting to attack?"
Lin Yufeng turned his head and saw that Old Xuan's index finger moved slightly, and another wooden stake flew towards him rapidly.
Attacked from the front and back, Lin Yufeng raised his brows slightly, and with a thought, he immediately flipped in the air when the two wooden stakes flew towards him.
That’s right, flip in the air!
Concentrating all his strength on his feet, he leaped high, but the attack of the two wooden stakes failed again. After Lin Yufeng did a somersault in the air, he grasped the strength and timing, and landed firmly on the footing again.
The movements are elegant and gorgeous, without any sloppiness.
"Not bad." Mr. Xuan smiled and nodded. "You can dodge in a short period of time, and your reaction is really sensitive."
Fei Ling, who was standing next to Mr. Xuan, looked at Lin Yufeng closely with her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Hearing Mr. Xuan's praise, Lin Yufeng was not excited at all, but instead looked a little solemn.
The dodge just now was entirely due to luck. If Mr. Xuan ordered the wooden stake to attack when he jumped into the air, it would be really troublesome to dodge.
Moreover, the aerial flip just now can only be used once. If you use it next time, Mr. Xuan will definitely seize the opportunity...
Therefore, the next battle is the real difficulty.
"Whizzing!"
As Lin Yufeng expected, two wooden stakes came quickly again.
Seeing this, Lin Yufeng turned his body and a wooden stake passed by him. When another wooden stake came one after another, he immediately jumped on one foot and dodged without any danger.
"Did you dodge?" Lin Yufeng successfully dodged again, and Lin Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"boom!"
In vain, Lin Yufeng changed color, and a wooden stake suddenly hit him in the back.
"What?" Severe pain came. Lin Yufeng gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and used the collision force of the wooden stake to dodge towards another foothold.
However, just when Lin Yufeng was about to touch the foothold, another wooden stake flew towards him.
Sensing the danger, Lin Yufeng didn't have time to think. His right foot, which was about to reach its foothold, suddenly changed its move, stepped on the wooden stake coming from the attack, and used its strength to dodge back.
After landing on the ground, Lin Yufeng's eyes narrowed and he saw three wooden stakes floating in front of him.
"Three wooden stakes..." Lin Yufeng's pupils shrank slightly.
"This is a sneak attack."
Xuan Lao said with a stern expression: "Surprise and attack the enemy unprepared. The real battle is to kill the enemy at any cost. No one will be merciful and no one will sell their flaws. Once you relax, you will be greeted in the next second.
It could be serious injury or death."
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng understood and nodded solemnly.
What he is facing now is not a competition, not a sparring, but a real battle of life and death. Just like his ambition, the rise of the Lin family will inevitably lead to a bloody path, and they will have to step on many corpses before they can return to glory.
Moreover, this is still a wooden stake, what if it is replaced by a sword?
I'm afraid that Lin Yufeng was seriously injured in that blow just now, even if he didn't die.
Although what Mr. Xuan said is a bit ruthless, it is true. This world is far from being as innocent as a child imagines. What he will face when he leaves the ancient village in the future is many cruel challenges. If he is not careful, he may die of hatred.
.
Moreover, these challenges are before his identity is exposed. If his identity is exposed and he has no ability to protect himself, death will be waiting for Lin Yufeng.
Do you still expect the many forces that have conspired to murder the Lin family to remain indifferent?
Just kidding, everyone knows that crime will be eradicated, and the truth that cutting the grass will eradicate the root will never change - even if Lin Yufeng is just a down-and-out young master of the Lin family.
He is not a god. He only has one life. If he dies, the Lin family will be finished. Therefore, he must learn more - such as ruthlessness and cruelty.
"I understand, Grandpa Xuan, come again!"
Lin Yufeng took a deep breath, endured the pain caused by the injury on his back, and said in a deep voice.
Mr. Xuan nodded indifferently, completely different from his usual kindness, and waved three fingers in the air one after another.
As he waved his fingers, the three wooden stakes flew towards Lin Yufeng again as if they were summoned.
Seeing this, Lin Yufeng calmed down and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
On the quiet pool, a young man dressed in coarse cloth looked solemn and dignified. He kept dodging and leaping. The waterfall behind him was flowing down, and five wooden stakes were attacking him everywhere.
"boom!"
Another dull blow, and Lin Yufeng received another blow.
"Come again!" Lin Yufeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the young man still standing proudly on the water pool, Mr. Xuan nodded in appreciation and ordered the five wooden stakes to attack again.
Fei Ling on the side looked worried, looking at Lin Yufeng nervously, clenching her hands, praying in her heart that Lin Yufeng would not be seriously injured.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Although Lin Yufeng dodged many attacks, he was still attacked and spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, dyeing the clear water red.
Although he was injured, Lin Yufeng still did not give up and evaded attacks again and again with difficulty...
"boom!"
After Lin Yufeng narrowly avoided three wooden stakes, he was hit hard again.
This time, Lin Yufeng couldn't bear it any longer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, flew out and fell into the pool.
"Brother Feng!" Fei Ling's pretty face paled slightly, and she immediately grabbed Mr. Xuan's sleeve and said anxiously: "Grandpa Xuan, please save him quickly!"
"You little girl, why are you in such a hurry? Xiaofeng just suffered a little injury, it's not a problem."
Xuan Lao rolled his eyes at him, but he made some moves. He used five wooden stakes to go deep into the bottom of the pool and supported Lin Yufeng, who was soaked all over, up.
Commanding the five wooden stakes, Old Xuan gently placed Lin Yufeng on the ground. Fei Ling immediately helped Lin Yufeng up and asked worriedly: "Brother Feng, how are you?"
"Ahem!"
After spitting out a few sips of the pool water, Lin Yufeng turned pale, stood up with difficulty, and forced a smile to the little girl: "It's okay, I was just a little injured, just drank a few sips of the pool water."
After a pause, Lin Yufeng looked at Mr. Xuan and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Xuan, I seem to have reached my limit."
Mr. Xuan stroked his beard, shook his head, and said with a pleased smile: "You are already very good. You can persist under five wooden stakes for half an hour, which is enough to be proud among your peers. Many people have given up under three wooden stakes."
Already."
Hearing the old man's praise, Lin Yufeng scratched his head and smiled.
"Brother Feng, your clothes are soaked through." Fei Ling said with concern, "You will catch a cold if you do this."
"Haha, with Xiaofeng's physique, it's nothing serious. I will help him recover from his injuries." Before Lin Yufeng could speak, Mr. Xuan came over and gently put his right hand on Lin Yufeng's shoulder.
Seeing Mr. Xuan's strange behavior, Lin Yu, Feng Feiling and others were both curious.
After a while, the clothes soaked by the pool water started to rise in vain, causing the two of them to widen their eyes.
What was even more surprising was that as the water vapor appeared, the injuries caused by Lin Yufeng being hit by the wooden stake just disappeared.
"The injury...is actually healed?" Lin Yufeng was extremely surprised.
"Grandpa Xuan, what kind of medical skills are you doing? It's so amazing." Fei Ling blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Mr. Xuan smiled slightly and said: "It's just a way to heal your heart. If you are interested, I can teach you in the future."
"Really?" Lin Yufeng's eyes lit up, and Fei Ling beside him was also very interested.
After seeing this kind of healing method, he was quite moved.
"Haha, don't be too happy. This kind of mental method is infinitely mysterious and can only be understood by those with outstanding understanding." Xuan Lao struck back: "Even those who are talented and talented may not be able to understand it."
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng's eyes flashed with fire, and he smiled and said: "Try it first, maybe you can learn it."
Although his talent is mediocre, Lin Yufeng is still quite confident in his understanding.
Mr. Xuan chuckled and nodded, and then said slowly: "Okay, the injury has recovered, and the next step is the third stage, understanding the state of mind."
After pondering for a while, Mr. Xuan pointed to the waterfall and said: "I placed a flat stone under the waterfall. You sit on it and bear the impact of the waterfall. You can practice and gain insights at the same time."
"What?!" Lin Yufeng's eyes widened.
Not to mention the powerful impact of the waterfall, in such cold weather, it would be strange to sit under the waterfall and not freeze to death.
Fei Ling's pretty face changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "Grandpa Xuan, if you let Brother Feng sit under the waterfall in such a cold weather, you will get sick!"
Xuan Lao shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, I am sensible. Xiaofeng has a good physique and can withstand shock and cold. This kind of training is more beneficial to the body. And if you can understand the natural state of mind, you will have the ability to break through the realm in the future."
great help."
"But..." Fei Ling hesitated, worried...
"Haha, it's okay, just go."
Lin Yufeng smiled, took off his shirt, and walked towards the waterfall by stepping on the foothold on the pool.
Fei Ling was very nervous when she saw this, while Mr. Xuan was quite calm and looked at Lin Yufeng calmly.
"I hope I can feel something..."
Looking at the magnificent waterfall, Lin Yufeng took a deep breath and sat on the flat stone under the waterfall.
"puff!"
The powerful impact of the water made Lin Yufeng unable to bear it, and the biting cold filled his whole body.
"We must stick to it!"
Lin Yufeng gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged on a flat stone, closed his eyes, placed the cultivation seal, and let the cold waterfall water pour on his head.
"Is Brother Feng going to be okay?" Fei Ling stared at the young man under the waterfall and asked worriedly.
"Haha, it's okay." Elder Xuan comforted him. He seemed to have remembered something and smiled at Feiling: "Little girl, don't disturb your brother Feng here. Go help Grandpa Xuan collect some medicinal materials."
"Medicinal materials?" Taking the paper from Mr. Xuan, Fei Ling took a look at it and asked doubtfully: "Grandpa Xuan, what do you want these medicinal materials for?"
Mr. Xuan pretended to smile mysteriously: "Little girl, all you need to do is collect them. These medicinal materials will be of great help to your brother Feng."
Hearing this, although Fei Ling was puzzled, she still nodded lightly and followed the order.
Watching the girl leave, Mr. Xuan turned his attention to Lin Yufeng under the waterfall.
"I hope this kind of hard training will help this child." Mr. Xuan murmured.
"The decline of the Lin family, one life of glory, three generations of glory, will eventually turn into dust and disappear into history."
While Mr. Xuan was watching Lin Yufeng who was practicing attentively, a voice sounded, and then an old figure appeared next to Mr. Xuan.
"Are you here?" When he saw the visitor, Mr. Xuan said calmly.
"You hurt him." Mr. Huang looked at Mr. Xuan.
"I'm helping him."
"No, you are hurting him."
"I'm helping him."
"Xu Xuanchen!" Mr. Huang emphasized his tone and said, "Do you know what you are doing?!"
Mr. Xuan glanced at him and said calmly: "I know."
"Lin Cangming is your friend?" Mr. Huang asked.
"We forget our friendship," said Mr. Xuan. "Love is like brothers."
"I don't understand, since you have such deep friendship, why would you frame the grandson of your old friend?"
Mr. Huang was aggressive and said in a deep voice: "Even us old men don't know the person behind the Lin family incident. Do you think Lin Yufeng will know? Do you think he will find out? The rise of the Lin family is simply a fantasy! There is no way he can succeed.
Destined to die young."
Mr. Xuan replied without hesitation: "I believe him."
"Believe him? Are you confused? It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous."
Mr. Huang sneered and said: "Did you know that when the Lin family was on the run, in the areas they passed by, how many forces were trying to make trouble, and how many cultivators were chasing and killing them. Once the Lin family, which was once famous in the world, fell from its peak, it was like a rat crossing the street.
Everyone calls for beating, but no one will give up this perfect opportunity to wipe out the Lin family."
"If we old men hadn't helped us regardless of our own danger, do you think Lin Yufeng would have survived to this day? Do you think the Lin family still has descendants? Tell me, Lao Xuan, why do you believe that the Lin family will rise in his hands? Why do you believe that
Can he avoid the eyes of many forces?"
"If you work hard, God will not let you down." Mr. Xuan looked at him with burning eyes.
