Chapter 1934: Conscience (I)
"Who?" Hearing this voice, the light in Lin Bai's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked around vigilantly, his eyes were full of vigilance and murderous intent that could not be concealed.
But as far as his eyes could see, the surroundings were as empty as ever, and no matter how his eyes scanned, there was no trace of anything at all, just like the sound was just an auditory hallucination in his ears.
But he was sure that the voice was definitely not an auditory hallucination, because it was faint, but it was real. The voice, though inaudible, though nowhere to be found, was so real that it seemed to come from his heart.
"You don't have to look for it, you can't find it, and you can't see it." And at this moment, the voice sounded slowly, as if there was no mechanical thing with any emotional fluctuations, and said slowly: "Abbot Mountain in Abbot Continent, there is a heavenly heart on Abbot Mountain. I am Tianxin, I am in your heart, and everything you hear is the deepest voice in your heart. ”
Heavenly Heart! Hearing this, Lin Bai's expression suddenly froze, but there was a look of confusion behind him. What is this heavenly heart, if you look at its words alone, it does not seem to have any hostility towards itself, if not, it will not rain down when you are seriously injured, feed your body with vitality, and return yourself to normal.
But if Tianxin really doesn't have any hostility, then why do you want to close this place, why do you want Zheng He to become that appearance, why let him sink in pain for more than 600 years, why do you want to let Abbot Mountain become like this.
And what Lin Bai couldn't figure out the most was Tianxin's sentence 'You're finally here'. Listening to the meaning of his words, it was as if he had been waiting for him here for an incomparably long time, looking forward to his arrival all the time.
"Don't think about it, you can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out. All I know is that I've been waiting for you here for countless years. And at the moment when Lin Bai's heart was completely occupied by doubts, that day the heart spoke slowly, the voice was ethereal, but it was extremely clear, as if it was really coming from Lin Bai's heart, and then said: "I ask you, what is the heart?" ”
What is the heart? Hearing Tianxin's words, Lin Baiden fell into silence. What is the mind, this is a very broad question, if only from the perspective of physiology, according to the explanation of the "Ancient Texts": the heart, the human heart, in the body, pictograms; According to Confucianism, the person who has the heart thinks also, and the official of the heart thinks ......
According to the "Su Wen. According to the Linglan Secret Classics, the heart is the official of the monarch, the heart is hidden in the gods, and the gods are out; In the Corpse. In the "Ben Shen", it is "the heart of the person who does things", and according to the Buddhist saying, the heart is also the knowledge of the thought and action, and in Taoism, according to the Tao Te Ching, which is the origin of Taoism, the heart is the Tao, and the Tao is the heart.
As far as Lin Bai is concerned, what he agrees with more is the last one, that is, the Taoist saying that 'the heart is the Tao, and the Tao is the heart'. Heartless, formless and phaseless, innumerable and immeasurable, eternal and nameless.
"What's in your heart?" At this moment when Lin Bai was thinking, it seemed that the heavenly heart that had really occupied his heart suddenly asked slowly, and his words were full of confusion, as if even he didn't know what the answer to this question was.
What's my heart?! Hearing this, Lin Bai was stunned again. What is his heart, this is a question that Lin Bai has never thought about. If you really want to give an answer, then your heart may be the attachment to all the people you care about; yearning for the avenue; the pursuit of strength; Persistence in some things in the world that should not be abandoned!
But these are the mind, but they don't seem to be the meaning of the heart. The more he thought about it, the more confused Lin Bai became, and the more he felt that he couldn't grasp his true heart, as if he had never considered this problem.
"If you want to know what your heart is, go up to the mountain, and the moment you reach the top of the mountain, all the answers will appear." After a long time, Tianxin slowly spoke, but the voice gradually became faint, and finally he didn't realize it.
After the words fell, there was silence between heaven and earth, and along the location of Lin Bai's body, countless clouds and mist gradually rose, enveloping all the surrounding mountains. After the rain drifted by, the heaven and the earth were clear, and now there are these countless clouds and mist rising suddenly, which looks quite elegant, can be said to be beautiful, and there is no place where the scenery can be compared with this.
And as soon as the cloud and mist appeared, Lin Baiden noticed the abnormality, under the cloud, all directions in front of him were foggy, and in the middle of it, he couldn't discern the direction at all. Feeling this change, his heart froze, and he only thought that there was some omen, but when he walked around, there was no magic aura fluctuation, except for the clouds and mist, the surroundings were still quiet.
Under the deep groan, he slowly released his divine thoughts, and kept scanning around, but what made him feel shocked was that after the divine thoughts were thrown into the mist, they were empty and there was nothing to check, as if there was nothing in the abbot mountain now except the mist.
"My five senses, my spiritual sense ......, why has all this become confused......" Feeling that there was no external force, Lin Bai's heart slowly calmed down, and after wandering around for a while, after thinking for a while, there was something in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be that these clouds and mist are the obstacles of the heart, and the road to the mountain is the way to ask the heart?" ”
The more he thought about it, the more Lin Bai felt that this kind of thought was very likely. If you want to pursue the mystery of heaven, you must strengthen yourself and explore all kinds of secret techniques. And if you want to make yourself go further than others, the most important thing is not a wise cultivation, but a strong heart.
The heart is the foundation of everything, without a strong heart, even if there is a clever technique, you can only be afraid of the tail, and dare not go forward, just like the jade Zhenzi, who would rather lie dormant in the abbot mountain for more than 600 years than give it a try.
But if you want to have a strong heart, you can't get it through any acquired efforts, you can only look at personal experiences and tempering. Some people guard the gold mountain empty, but their hearts are extremely cowardly; But some people's homes are surrounded by walls, but their hearts are extremely powerful, and they can be at ease with a spoonful of food and drink. The heart is an innate thing, but it is also acquired.
For physiognomy masters like Lin Bai, or qi refiners and celestials, although they have great strength, they can't control their hearts. Thoughts change rapidly, and no one knows what kind of changes will be brought to oneself by the change of mood at every moment, and this process of change is also beyond the control of human beings.
In this case, there will be confusion of the mind, because people cannot figure out their own heart, they cannot understand their own heart. Throughout the ages, all those who have made great achievements have penetrated their hearts and sought the true way. Of course, everyone's circumstances are different, and the choices made by the heart are also different.
And unlike ordinary people, the stronger the person, the more likely it is to encounter mental obstacles. Some people can easily get out of this obstacle of the mind, pass through the obstacle, and find the place of their heart. And even if some people spend their whole life, they may not be able to break through the barrier of happiness, and they can't get out of it and explore their hearts.
The Obstacle of the Heart, this is a war without swords and blood, but it is far more dangerous than those worldly wars and battles. Because in this obstacle of the mind, not only the five senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch are deprived, but even the spiritual sense is lost. Here, there is no such thing as a retreat, only endless options.
If you can get out, it is a smooth road, if you can't get out, then you will get lost in it, muddy, and unable to extricate yourself.
This is a level that can only be broken out by one's own strength and oneself, and you must experience it yourself. It is a process of asking the heart, and it cannot rely on any external force. If you don't stop and don't face up to this obstacle of the mind, you will be clouded by yourself. And for Lin Bai now, if he doesn't move forward, what awaits him is only eternal life and eternity trapped in this abbot continent, just like Liu Bowen, he can only wait for the longevity to run out and everything will be empty.
And in a sense, the path of asking the mind of the obstacle of the mind is not only an ordeal, but also a kind of refining and improvement of people. As long as you can penetrate the obstacles and understand the heart, you will be able to point directly to your heart, make your heart stronger, make you more tenacious and strong, and be able to move forward without fear no matter what the road ahead.
"I've been through so much, whether it's rich or poor, I've been through it; Whether it's life or death, I've made a choice. I won't get lost, I'll find where my heart is......" Under the mist, Lin Bai's eyes were closed, his breath was restrained, as silent as an eternal rock, and it wasn't until a long time later that he slowly opened his eyes and muttered between his lips and teeth.
And at this moment, in his eyes, the fog is like a prison, deeply locked in the world, shrouded in the heart, the heaven and the earth are like a prison, trapping him in it, even if his eyes are like a torch, he can't fathom the slightest, and he doesn't know where he should go.
This is a battle without seeing the smoke, this is a torture of the heart, even countless ancient virtues and sages, those so-called Tianjiao-like figures, there are many trapped in it, not able to move forward.
The footsteps were slow, and the clouds and mist between the mountains were like spirituality, like a poisonous snake on the tarsal bones, in a strange posture, accompanied by Lin Bai's movements, and slowly submerged into his body.
And with the convergence of clouds and mist, Lin Bai only felt that his five senses were constantly detached, and his spiritual sense was constantly missing, everything began to become elusive and ungraspable, and the whole person seemed to be trapped in some kind of closed space, unable to hear or see, like a deaf, like a blind person, like a mute......
