Chapter 188: The Phantom Void of Water
After breaking the barrier of the first level, Gu Lin withdrew from the Water Moon Mirror Flower to rest in the Ice Water Realm, every time he broke through the Ice Water Realm, Gu Lin's spirit and mental strength would be overdrawn, after all, Gu Lin could not use the True Yuan and the Void Spirit here, except for his body and consciousness, he couldn't use anything else.
Every time he leaves the Ice Water Realm, Gu Lin must practice the Xiao Ji Soul Cultivation Technique to adjust his state and recover his consumption, which has almost become a habit, but fortunately, the cultivation of the Xiao Ji Soul Cultivation Technique has a very good effect on Gu Lin's consolidation of soul power and improvement of spirit, all, in addition to recovery, Gu Lin is actually changing direction in cultivating soul power.
On the second day, when Gu Lin entered the Ice Water Realm again, he would directly come to the lake jade space of the Water Moon Mirror Flower, and it seemed that as long as this Ice Water Realm was completed, the first level would not be repeated, which made Gu Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
Unlike the waterfall cold pool, the feeling of the second level of this Water Moon Mirror Flower is extremely calm, and there will be no other sound except the sound of running water.
This secluded empty valley also made Gu Lin's heart slowly calm down, and he sat here and felt that Gu Lin really had a sense of entering a paradise to meditate and cultivate his mind.
Needless to say, Gu Lin already knew the level in front of him, which was obviously a test of his understanding of water.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Gu Lin muttered to himself......
"Do you understand the way of water?"
"Water Moon Mirror Flower ......?"
"Water Moon ......"
"Mirror Flower ......"
It's still two hours a day.
Gu Lin came to the stone platform under the jade of the lake on time every day, sat in the empty valley, and learned the way of water here......
It took three months, and Gu Lin had some new insights.
The natural stone bi that reflects the lake water is really a bit mysterious, and some words can indeed be reflected in the jade?
But when you look at it with your eyes, it disappears completely?
Will those blurry images and words turn into circles of ripples in the eyes, ripple and extend, and disappear?
As the spring flows into the lake, the ripples spread out quietly, and the flowing water spreads like a lotus flower, which is beautiful under the reflection of the jade.
Sitting alone every day, Gu Lin gradually had some enlightenment.
Day after day, his state of mind also changed, like those clear spring waters, integrated into the lake, and became one of their own.
One day, Gu Lin occasionally felt that he closed his eyes and meditated, sat cross-legged, and his heart was like water......
Two days, in this secluded empty valley, he seemed to see a different scene.
The ripples of the lake in the reflection of the natural stone wall seem to have turned into water lotuses?
A figure sat in the center of the largest water lotus in the center, cultivating cross-legged alone, but he couldn't tell the ...... of his appearance?
Unconsciously, on top of the jade, Gu Lin actually saw a line of words:
"The water moon mirror flower, there is no mud out of the water, the flower is in the mirror, and there is no trace to be found. ”
When I opened my eyes again, everything disappeared in an instant, and it was still this pool of lake water and a piece of jade, which was just an illusion?2020
At this point, Gu Lin finally understood that to comprehend this Water Moon Mirror Flower, it is not the eyes that depend on it, I am afraid that it is necessary to perceive it with the heart.
As for how to perceive, perhaps all that is needed is the state of mind.
When I wanted to see it, it was empty......
Except that line of words remained in Gu Lin's heart:
"The water moon mirror flower, there is no mud out of the water, the flower is in the mirror, and there is no trace to be found. ”
Gradually, Gu Lin realized these sixteen characters into his state of mind......
Another month later, one day, Gu Lin sat cross-legged and saw the figure of the water lotus again, but saw another line of words:
"Spotless, frost like water, all realms are empty, and the water and moon are idealistic. ”
After repeating this, Gu Lin realized his heart again......
Half a month later, Gu Lin gradually got better, but he didn't have to open his eyes anymore, but continued to feel with his heart, and suddenly felt:
"The state of mind is born from the heart, nature is relatively impermanent, the world is endless, there is no need to be too deliberate......"
Another month passed, one day, Gu Lin saw that all the lotus flowers in the lake above the jade stone carvings had disappeared, and he saw a figure under a round of crescent moon, a single shadow, but still unable to see clearly.
That line of mantra from sixteen characters to eight-character mantra?
"The water is clear and the moon is bright, and the heart is as calm as it is now. ”
Gu Lin still does not change, every day to observe the mind and understand the words, and after another month, Gu Lin will finally have something......
The lone shadow and waning moon in the jade are gone.
There are only four words left:
"Good is like water. ”
So far, Gu Lin has been contemplating the ice water realm of this lake for more than half a year for two hours a day.
Three days later, when I sat cross-legged and comprehended and perceived the jade with my heart, the last four words finally disappeared, leaving only a white jade, and there was no trace of it.
When he opened his eyes again, in the jade, Gu Lin saw his own image?
He sat cross-legged, floating quietly in the center of the lake, but under him were zigzag ripples, with him as the center, scattered and separated, the Gu Lin in the jade was like the figure that could not be seen clearly, sitting quietly on the water lotus, and there was no difference.
His body and the reflection of the jade bi merge with the secluded valley of the lake and jade, and they can no longer distinguish each other.
It's like a ...... in the midst of this lake and mountains
A clear spring, a dead tree, a waning moon, a lonely shadow......
At this moment, a voice appeared in the sky, it was the voice of the Taoist temple spirit.
"The second level of the Ice Water Realm, the Water Moon Mirror Flower, pass. ”
