Chapter 31 Exam Questions of Abandoned Swordsmen (5)
The endless electric light kept shining and roaring. Even though the white light and flames were beating, blocking most of the pressure on Wu Jie, he was still oppressed by the unspeakable fear, and it was faintly difficult to breathe.
the illusion.
Perhaps this is not an illusion. If a monk is killed in the world of the sea of consciousness, he will also be severely injured in reality, ranging from damage to his soul to death in the worst case.
Fortunately, whenever the pressure was so great that he could no longer hold on, the Tianwen Book of Books would fly over leisurely, unfold, and turn into a galaxy to block all the pressure, giving him time to breathe and recover.
.
However, as soon as Wu Jie was almost recovered, Tianwen's book would be put away and fly to the side again to watch.
This legacy left by the time-traveling senior seems to have inherited his bad-tempered style, or perhaps it was originally intended to train Wu Jie, but in short it would not make things easy for him.
But this is enough. With it giving him a chance to breathe, Wu Jie can persevere from the edge of being overwhelmed by the pressure again and again. As he persists again and again, he feels that his soul in the sea of consciousness changes.
The body becomes stronger and stronger, the perception becomes sharper and sharper, and the understanding of various exercises is also deepening.
But...he still couldn't figure out the context of the Sword Abandoner's swordsmanship. Especially the magical fourth sword, he still couldn't understand the realm of "sincerity".
According to his idea, the so-called sincerity means not thinking about anything in one's heart and concentrating wholeheartedly on one sword.
But obviously, this understanding is completely different from what the sword-abandoning disciple said.
This method of concentrating wholeheartedly on one sword is the third sword of the Abandoned Swordsman, the "Cloud Piercing Sword", rather than the fourth sword, the "Questioning Heart Sword".
Wu Jie also tried to find help from philosophy. He carefully recalled the various philosophical books he had read and studied in his previous life, especially the so-called theory of "nothing outside the mind".
If the sky doesn't have my spirit, who will look up to it? If the earth doesn't have my spirit, who will bow down to it? All things in the world can only have meaning if they can be perceived and understood with their own spirit.
The existence of spiritual intelligence is the key for everything to be brilliant, to be brilliant, to be perceived by "I", and to be meaningful.
Wu Jie disagreed with this theory in his previous life. Although he was a literary young man, he was a materialist deeply influenced by communism. Confucius "respected ghosts and gods and kept away from them." Wu Jie did not admit the existence of any supernatural things at all.
——Even though he had sought help from magical wizards in order to cure his nightmares, he only thought that those people had some secret treatment methods passed down from generation to generation, and never believed that those people really had any magical powers.
Of course... ever since he traveled to a world where supernatural factors indeed existed, materialism was a bit untenable. But Wu Jie quickly found a way to adapt it to the new form - in the spirit of "Practice is
The only way to test the truth..." thinking, he successfully got rid of those unreasonable things, and used thinking and logic to understand the world.
Although he has become an immortal, he is still a materialist at heart.
But... what we are facing now is a chasm that materialists cannot overcome!
It's not that Wu Jie couldn't understand the meaning of abandoning the sword. The so-called "asking for the sword" is actually to let yourself completely devote your soul to the "sword". Don't think about whether you can do it, and don't think about how to do it.
To do it, only use the purest spirit to guide you and wield a firm sword.
At the moment when the sword is drawn, his mind must be completely ethereal, and his confidence must be solid.
If you use this sword, you will definitely be invincible; if you use this sword, no matter who your opponent is, you will be killed on the spot!
This idea was very clear and understandable, but Wu Jie couldn't do it.
He couldn't let himself believe this kind of thing, or in other words, he couldn't stop thinking and speculating, and he couldn't just "believe" without any reason or basis.
There must be a reason! There must be a reason!
For example, the Sword Abandoner is indeed very strong, and no one can stop him with his sword.
This is a very good reason and very convincing.
...but this is wrong!
Whether the Abandoned Sword Disciple is very strong or whether his sword can cut everything has nothing to do with Wu Jie's sword. Even if there is no Abandoned Sword Disciple in the world, or Wu Jie saw with his own eyes that someone else used this sword and not only failed
It's the same thing if you can defeat the enemy but are crushed to death like an ant.
He must trust this sword without any reason. Only in this way can he devote himself wholeheartedly to it, guide it with a pure heart, and swing a sword that can cut off everything.
But Wu Jie really couldn't do it. He would always think and subconsciously look for reasons. Even if he told himself a thousand times and ten thousand times, "I must be firm and believe in myself..." he would still look for it.
The reason for "I can really be firm and I can really believe in myself...".
Be firm without any reason, believe in yourself without any reason - how good you feel about yourself!
No... Feeling good about yourself can be considered one of the reasons. In other words, you don't even need to feel good about yourself. This sword shot can cut everything off, so there must be no problem in the first place.
Hey, hey! How is that possible? What if there is the Supreme God in front of you?
Wu Jie dares to bet that even the sword-abandoning disciple cannot kill the Supreme God Lord with one sword!
...If he could be killed with one sword, then he would not be so bad that he would bother Tiandao to personally take action and lower the Chaos World-Destroying Divine Thunder to kill him!
"Oops! I got distracted again!"
Wu Jie sighed, collected his scattered thoughts, and stood up again until he felt completely calm.
"How long has it been?" He stared at the sky. Day and night could not be seen in the vast white sky, which seemed to always look the same.
"It's been about ten days," Du Ruo said, "Fourth, I don't think you can continue like this."
Wu Jie nodded, he also knew this.
If he never takes the most crucial step, then he will never be able to learn the Questioning Heart Sword.
But...he can't take this step, because this step conflicts with the path he has chosen!
The path chosen by Wu Jie is based on "rationality". He practices Taoism because it has theory and practice, can indeed be implemented, and will indeed be effective.
In the world of the previous life, there was a saying in Buddhism that "if you are not called a god or a Buddha, you will not show your supernatural powers...". It means that although you practice cultivation, the results of your cultivation will not be shown to others, or if you want to show them, there is no way to show them. Even if you are a god or a Buddha,
When he comes into the world, he appears as a mere mortal.
Wu Jie has always scorned this, and he still does so to this day.
If you claim to have achieved results but cannot show them, what is that? Is it hysteria?
The Questioning Sword of the Abandoned Swordsman follows this path, and is even more extreme than that view.
Although there is no reason, although there is no basis, I believe it can be done, and I can indeed do it - I can do it, this is a fact.
"This damn theory... If I really practice this sword, maybe my entire consciousness will collapse because of it..."
Wu Jie sighed helplessly, his hands shining brightly, and he planned to use the Tianwen Sword Technique again to destroy the statue in front of him.
Just cheat, he really has no choice.
But before he could prepare the Tianwen Sword Art, Jasmine, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly opened her eyes.
"I have a solution!" she said excitedly.
"What can I do?"
"Master, the reason why you can't understand the 'way of sincerity' is because you always think rationally, always find support from causes and consequences, and always find some explanation for things, right?"
"yes."
"Well, what if your reason doesn't exist anymore?"
Wu Jie was stunned - what Jasmine said was easy to understand, but it still smelled of danger.
"If my rationality ceases to exist...am I still me?"
"Of course it's still you - suppose you lost your memory, completely lost all your memories, your whole person became a blank sheet of paper, empty and empty, but your soul is still there, your body is still there, why are you not you?
?”
"That's right..." Wu Jie thought about the situation carefully and asked with some worry, "In that case, it seems very bad..."
"No need to act like it, it's just terrible." Du Xin interrupted, "Your body will change in the direction that is most suitable for your soul and mana. As far as your skills are concerned, the most likely thing is to directly turn into a ball of fire.
, and it will never change again.”
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wu Jie's forehead.
"Don't use your lower realm thinking to judge the problem! Who am I? I am the direct descendant of the Supreme God, a majestic demon god!" Jasmine spit out a bit of disdain from her nose, "Isn't it just to make the whole person temporarily become a demon god?
It’s just a blank piece of paper, just a single thought. How can such a thing be so difficult for me?”
"Do you have a solution?" Wu Jie asked curiously, "What are the side effects of that solution?"
The proud and proud expression on Jasmine's face suddenly collapsed, and she looked at Wu Jie with a grimace: "Master, can't you let me be a little proud?"
"Then there are indeed sequelae?" Wu Jie smiled, "Is it serious?"
Jasmine looked a little embarrassed, looking around but didn't answer.
"It seems very serious." Du Ruo nodded.
"It's very serious." Du Xin also nodded.
Seeing Jasmine becoming more and more embarrassed, Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh.
"What is the solution? Let's talk about it." He reached out and touched Jasmine's head, letting her breathe a sigh of relief. She couldn't help showing a slightly happy expression, "Jasmine, I believe you won't
In those super dangerous ways, right?"
"Of course!" Jasmine raised her eyebrows, "Although it does have side effects, although the side effects are indeed a bit serious, and although it is indeed very dangerous - I can guarantee that the risks of this method are completely within the controllable range!"
"Don't worry, I believe you."
A bright and frightening light suddenly appeared in Jasmine's eyes. She waved her hand, and the clouds surged in the void, and another Wu Jie's body condensed out.
But this body is completely blank. Not only does it not have any magical powers, even its thinking and consciousness are completely blank. It is as empty as a blank sheet of paper.
"I have a way for you, master, to make this state into a 'seal'. When necessary, you can temporarily enter this state by activating that seal." Jasmine said, "Of course, time
It should be very, very short, because when the state is restored again, it will have serious backlash on itself. If the time is a little longer, it will be seriously injured."
"In other words, with this method, you can only swing one sword."
When Wu Jie heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and instead laughed.
