Fang Wuxie's eyesight was much beyond ordinary people, and Zhang Xiaoxiao's confused appearance could still be seen in this dense fog, so he explained: "You broke off a piece of Artemisia grass before, and the artemisia grass itself does not exist, but you feel that it exists, and you broke it and held it in your hand, have you ever thought about what you broke off?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "Of course, the grass was broken, but the grass disappeared after I threw it away, which is also something I didn't understand." ”

Fang Wuxian asked again: "I have already said that the grass does not exist, don't you understand?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it: "You mean, that's just my feeling?" ”

Fang Wuxian slowly recited: "The heart is dominated by the body, and the one who sees the eyes is also the heart; The ear hears and the hearer hears the heart; The mouth and limbs are moving, but the heart is moving. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao hadn't heard this passage, but she felt a little familiar, and said suspiciously: "What you said seems to be Wang Yangming's theory." ”

"Exactly, this is Wang Yangming's biography." Fang Wuxian said loudly: "There is an allusion to Wang Yangming in the high school textbook, saying that when Wang Yangming visited Nanzhen, a friend pointed to a flowering tree and asked: You said that there is nothing outside the heart in the world, so flowers and trees bloom and fall in the deep mountains, what does it matter to my heart?" Wang Yangming replied: When you don't see this flower, this flower and your heart will die together; When you come to see this flower, then the color of this flower is understood for a while, and you will know that this flower is not outside your heart, and this is his ontological theory of mind. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao is a smart person, and she can understand it at all, but she still can't believe it: "You mean, because I saw the existence of that tree, so in my heart, that tree really exists, so I can't pass through." ”

Fang Wuxian clapped his hands and said: "That's the truth, that thing obviously doesn't exist, but you think it's real, so you will decide in your heart what will happen if you touch it, and this will produce a feeling." It's like where you're standing at this time is a stone in my eyes, so if I want to stand on the rock, I'll be able to walk up. ”

Fang Wuxian walked as he spoke, and in Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes, he actually took a step out of thin air and hovered in mid-air.

"This ...... If it is false, can you hover in the air by virtue of what you think? ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it when she saw this situation. If Fang Wuxian walked through that tree because it didn't exist in the first place, but since it didn't exist, how could it hover in mid-air.

Fang Wuxian snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's true." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

Fang Wuxian bent his knees slightly, his body suddenly fell from mid-air, and said with a smile: "When I say that's the case, I mean that in your eyes, I really stepped on the stone." Do you remember how I said you were standing in a rock? ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "You said that it is ...... in your perception"

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up: "You said that in your perception I am standing on a stone, but what about in your eyes?" ”

Fang Wuxian said: "In my eyes, you have bypassed the stone and stood on the edge of the stone, and in my eyes, I just walked on the top of the stone. In fact, in my perception, there are no stones at all, I just walked to your side. And you don't have this stone in your eyes, so maybe I was hovering in the air just now, right? ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded indifferently: "It's all an illusion?" But what is true? And how do you judge? ”

Fang Wuxian pointed to his nose: "I use it to determine the authenticity. I've had a good nose since I was a kid, so I don't need to look at the details when tracking the wolves.

Before, I was bent on leading everyone to complete the task as soon as possible, and I didn't deliberately distinguish the authenticity of the objects in the dense fog array. And because the dense fog blocked the view, and the people couldn't see the situation of avoiding the trees that didn't exist during the march, they didn't find anything abnormal.

It wasn't until the two of us walked side by side just now, and you would make some evasive actions from time to time to avoid objects that didn't exist in my eyes, and I felt that something was wrong, and I also remembered something, so I stopped and felt with my heart, and finally found the problem. ”

"Smell, smell! Yes, I just broke the artemisia grass, and although it feels similar to the real thing, it doesn't smell like the real artemisia grass. Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "It's that pine tree, and it doesn't smell like a pine tree, it just exists in my eyes." ”

"Yes, these virtual visions only exist in the eyes, and act in the heart. As Wang Yangming's mind says, when you don't look at it, this tree is silent, and when you see it, this tree is here with you because of what you think in your heart. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao stroked her forehead and sighed, she already understood this truth, but she had never experienced such a mysterious thing, and she couldn't turn around in a circle.

Fang Wuxian said again: "I found that this formation only acts on the eyes, or on the heart, but it can't cover up what really exists, such as you and me. To prove this hypothesis, I did an experiment just when we were walking briskly, and that was to pass through what was not in our senses, but was present in our sight. The first two times I didn't dare to go straight through the tree, I just ran into the branches that I could see. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked: "You successfully passed through?" ”

"No, the first two times failed. But it also made me find a problem. Fang Wuxian smiled: "The first time I didn't dare to use force, I was hung on my arm by the branch, and it didn't hurt." The second time I didn't believe in evil, the thick branch of my finger scraped on my face, and it hurt so much that I almost didn't call my mother. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, I remember, your hand suddenly tightened before, it turned out to be painful." ”

Fang Wuxian said: "Yes, that's it." It was really painful at the time, but it also made me realize that it was just a pain, but there was no broken skin or bleeding. And when I concentrated, the pain disappeared, which means that there was no pain in the first place, but my own psychological effect. ”

"Psychological effects!"

"Well, it's psychological. After that, I tried again, and this time I didn't look for a branch, but went straight to a big tree in the eye. As I rushed towards the tree, I concentrated on sensing it, and I didn't believe in it at all, and then ......"

"And then you're going through!" Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little excited, and walked back to the tree she saw, first closed her eyes, reached out to touch, and could still feel the outline of the tree.

Fang Wuxian said: "It's useless to touch, because you have already decided in your heart that this tree is there, you must know from the bottom of your heart that the tree does not exist at all, and what you see in your eyes is just an illusion." You don't need to close your eyes then to be able to see. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and kept telling herself that the tree was fake, just an illusion of sight, and slowly reached out, the first, second, and third ......, each time she was pushed back by the trunk, and this strong policewoman was ruthless, and slammed it out with a punch

The power and speed of this punch almost reached her extreme, and the air squeezed by the rapid fist crackled, but it was not intended to hit the trunk of the tree at all, but to penetrate it completely.

Walk through it without stopping.

Fang Wuxian next to him was a little nervous, before he succeeded, he was just scratched by two tree branches, and that kind of pain was already in his heart, if Zhang Xiaoxiao still failed this time, the reaction force in her heart might not hurt her vitality.

Ooh!

There was a stirring in the air, and even the thick fog was dispersed by the punch. In Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes, her entire body was buried in the tree, but in her heart's perception, there was nothing here.

Coming out of the pine trees, entering, and coming out again, the feeling of coming in and out is amazing. Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little excited for a while, and looked back at Fang Wuxie, but found that looking at him at this time was clearer than before.

"Is the fog lightening?" Zhang Xiaoxiao stopped the experiment, turned her eyes around, and found that the dense fog had not faded, but her own vision could see farther. As soon as she thought in her heart, she felt that the qi and blood around her body were bubbling with the thoughts, and the fatigue of running for a long time before was diluted a lot. Only then did she realize that just as she was concentrating on crossing this non-existent tree, her martial arts had advanced to another level.

"Is this the legendary epiphany?" Zhang Xiaoxiao is very happy, she was able to mobilize her body and blood two years ago, and use a strength far beyond ordinary people. But it has not been smooth, very sluggish, and cannot exert its full strength. This time, she broke through all the barriers in one fell swoop, and was able to freely mobilize the qi and blood around her, which made her very happy, and her face, which had been deliberately cold, also smiled, and she also joked with Fang Wuxie:

"Fang Su, I remember that you didn't go to school, but you can quote scriptures when you open your mouth, and you even understand Wang Yangming's psychology, you can hide it deep enough."

Fang Wuxian smiled and said: "Who stipulates that you have to go to school to learn knowledge, I am self-taught." And you also said one thing wrong, I went to school, I graduated from elementary school, don't lie to me. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao was amused by his words, but when she was happy, she suddenly thought of the deceased Fang Wuxie. She always remembered that she was an extremely shy little girl at that time, and only Fang Wuxian could give her such joy. But now that the Si people have passed away, there is no nostalgia.

Fang Wuxian felt that Zhang Xiaoxiao's mood was suddenly low, and asked her tentatively what was wrong.

Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed: "I suddenly remembered a friend, he is the same as you, and his nose is super easy to use." ”

Fang Wuxian sighed: "You're talking about Brother Fang Wuxie, right?" You, what is your relationship with him? ”

"He's my best friend. Pity. Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes welled up with tears, she tried her best to keep her eyes open wide, not letting the tears flow out, and forced a smile to herself: "He is mysterious, I think I don't know that his sense of smell is super good." But once when he helped me track down the three wolves that had wandered into Huzhou, I discovered his secret. ”

Fang Wuxie's heart moved, and then he knew that he and Zhang Xiaoxiao had such a thing, but this matter seemed to be very secret, or it did not attract the attention of others, and there was no record from the information of Tsing Yi Building.
