Chapter 1117: Master in the Mirror
The boat walked around the Divine Stone, and it took more than half an hour, which shows the size of the Divine Stone.
And this is only the part that is exposed to the water, and it is impossible to imagine how big the part buried deep in the water is.
No one knows how deep the bottom of the sea is, it may be tens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers deep.
The Divine Stone goes deep into the bottom of the sea and blocks the eye of the sea, which means how deep the bottom of the sea is, how high the Divine Stone is, and it is higher than the depth.
Turning around to the side of the Sacred Stone, the boat approached the Sacred Stone, because a steep slope that resembled a road but was not exactly like it appeared in front of us.
Yu Meng pointed to the road and said: "You come with me, go along this road, you can reach the middle of the divine stone, but you can't reach the peak, and I don't know how high this divine stone is, but at the end of this road there is a stone realm that is polished to shine, the stone realm can reflect the shadow of people, people stand in front of the stone realm, maybe they can see different things in the stone realm, some people can, some people can't, it varies from person to person, it depends on whether you can have that luck." ”
"What's it? is it an illusion?" I asked.
"It's not necessarily an illusion, some people have also seen his afterlife and past life, some people have seen his future path, and some people can even see that there are masters from outside the world in the stone realm who pass on his exercises, anyway, it's not the same, since you are here, I will take you up to see, maybe you can really gain something." After Yu Meng finished speaking, he stepped on the path first, and Yuelan and I followed from each other.
The stones were damp and slippery, and the surface was covered with a layer of moss, and there were even some aquatic plants, among which I saw a few rare herbs, which I plucked and threw into the Tower of Babel.
After climbing for a while, I finally came to the front of the stone realm, but the mirror was also covered with moss.
Yu Meng took off the moss with his hands, then took out a cloth and wiped the surface of the mirror.
With a buzz, the stone mirror reflected a touch of white light.
The white light was extremely dazzling, and Yuelan and I instinctively blocked it with our hands, but the white light had already entered my eyes, and I was blind for a short time, and there was a white patch in front of me.
After a few breaths, the white light slowly dissipated, and finally saw the stone realm clearly, it was a stone wall, and the middle of the stone wall was smoothed by something, and it was extremely bright.
I suddenly realized that Yuelan beside me was gone, and suddenly turned my head to find that Yu Meng was also gone.
I was taken aback and shouted, "Daughter-in-law, Yu Meng, where are you?"
"Huh. Suddenly, an old man's sneer came from behind me, and I turned abruptly and looked at the other man warily.
An old man covered in white, with white hair, beard, and eyebrows, and very long, with his eyebrows hanging down to his chin, and his beard reaching his chest, and spreading out.
The hair is also very long, and it covers the waist and buttocks.
The key is also wearing a white robe, and even the shoes on the soles of his feet are white.
Between the eyebrows and the beard, I finally found the small piece of face, two dark glasses under the eyebrows, and a mouthful of white teeth on the beard, which made people look strange.
"Who are you, and what about my daughter-in-law and my friends?" I asked, after looking up and down.
"They're outside the mirror. The old man said casually.
"What do you mean?" I thought for a moment, and then said, "So, I'm in the mirror?"
"Sort of. He smiled slightly and said, "Actually, your body is still outside, but your consciousness has entered the stone mirror." ”
"And how can I get out?" I asked anxiously.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go out? No one else can get in even if they want to. The old man shook his head a little speechlessly and said, "It's been a long time since anyone has come here, so you can talk to me for a while." ”
"What do you want to talk about?" I looked at him intently.
"Whatever, you can talk about anything. "He's very casual, the key is that I don't have the leisure to do so.
"Then if you want to talk, you can choose a topic, finish it quickly, and then send me out. I said anxiously.
"Okay, then let's talk about your golden pill broken, your vitality is gone, how to continue to practice in the future, okay?" he looked at me with a slight smile.
"Huh?" I was startled, did he mean something?
"Okay?" he asked again with a smile.
"Yes, of course. I suddenly realized, and then said, "I'm sorry, senior, you are deliberately guiding me, but I don't know what to do, I keep urging to go out, I'm really sorry." ”
"You kid, you're still a little savvy. He smiled and said, "Sit." ”
He sat down on the spot, his legs crossed, and so did I, two people facing each other.
"Senior, how will I practice in the future?" I asked straight to the point.
"What is cultivation?" he asked me suddenly.
"Cultivation?" I was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't cultivation the cultivation of truth or cultivation of immortals?"
"Wrong. He frowned and shook his head and said, "The practice of cultivation is character, which can also be said to be character, and cultivation is cultivation and cultivation of the mind. ”
I was at a loss, this statement is novel, cultivating character and mind, this also makes sense.
"What you think of as cultivation is cultivation of truth or cultivation of immortals, but in fact you are wrong, you have entered the blind spot, that is just a direction, everything in the world is practicing, birds are flying, fish are swimming in the water, grass is constantly growing, and even like the moss outside the stone, they are also constantly practicing, cultivating the true self, so in a word, everything is actually practicing, but the direction of cultivation is different. ”
"According to you, hawking vegetables, teachers teaching, butchers killing pigs, and drivers soliciting customers, these are all cultivation?" I asked rhetorically.
"That's the truth. He smiled and nodded.
"And what are they cultivating?" I asked again.
"Cultivating is character, cultivating the way of survival, just like a person, when he is three years old, he doesn't know that he doesn't understand, when he is thirteen years old, when he is thirteen years old, he knows that he doesn't understand, when he is thirty-three years old, he doesn't know that he already understands, when he is forty-three years old, he knows that he understands, this is a process, and it is also a kind of practice, cultivating true knowledge. The old man gave an example.
I'm in my early twenties now, that is, I know I don't understand, so I'm eager to learn, just like I want to know how I'm going to cultivate in the future.
"Three thousand avenues, the Tao can be proven, why should everyone take the same road?" I sighed and said: "Character is the most important thing. He said as if he were playing dumb puzzles.
"I don't understand. I shook my head and said.
"A person must have a broad heart, a long-term vision, and be able to tolerate people, things, and the world, so that he can preach. He continued: "Nowadays, the cultivation methods of the three major sects are all passed down by one person, and then the people behind follow his steps and practice according to his way, so it is single, and what kind of character are the three major sects now, the old man can assert that the three major sects have no character, and this path cannot be taken." ”
"Please teach me, senior. "I clenched my fists and was respectful.
