Chapter 37: My Identity
After Wu Jia's matter was settled, everyone continued to finish eating, and while Li Xin and them were cleaning up, Wang Xiling called Wang Zhi to the room alone.
Wang Zhi didn't know what was going on with his mother, but when he saw her solemn appearance, he didn't dare to slack off, and closed the door when he entered the house and said, "Master, what are you looking for me?" ”
Wang Xiling took him directly to the balcony of the bedroom, there was still a table and two reclining chairs on the balcony, Wang Xiling sat on one by himself, pointed to the other and said: "I see that your cultivation progress these days is not bad, but I feel that you always seem to be at a loss, do you have no goal and can't find motivation?" ”
Wang Zhi sat opposite, embarrassed to lie down like Wang Xiling, so he could only sit upright: "Yes, I have suddenly been idle recently, and I am still a little uncomfortable for a while, and the other is cultivation, I only have the first three chapters of the Netherworld Heart Sutra, and the back, Liu Bi didn't give it to me, so I don't know how to cultivate." ”
Wang Xiling turned his head to look at him, and sighed helplessly: "The Netherworld Heart Sutra you cultivated, it is said that it is a superior immortal method in the heavenly realm, and we in Kunlun have recorded it, saying that it is one of the top cultivation exercises in the world, but unfortunately there is only so much to describe, as for any more things, it is gone." ”
Wang Zhi originally wanted to count on Wang Xiling to give him guidance on the exercises, but he didn't expect that his mother was helpless, so he asked tentatively: "Then I don't have anything else to learn?" ”
"The way to cultivate the truth is to sail against the current, your physique is limited, and you have been abstained from obscurantism before, if you don't meet Liu Bi, you won't even have the opportunity to cultivate the truth in this life, and now the Netherworld Heart Sutra is easy to cultivate, if you change to practice other exercises, if you are lucky, at most your skills will be wasted, if you are unlucky, you are afraid that you will go mad, and your life will not be guaranteed."
"So serious? Doesn't Xiuzhen all use the aura fighting method? Wang Zhi changed color a little when he heard this, he originally thought that it was really not good, Kunlun should also be his own back road, it was a big deal to follow Wang Xiling and learn Kunlun's exercises again, so that he and her, that is, the master and apprentice of the Eight Classics plus mother and son.
"The world's exercises, although the same end, are all for the purpose of crossing the catastrophe of the flying immortals, but after all, the road that everyone chooses is very different, the divine cultivation is a little better, as long as the understanding is there, you can change a master to learn at any time, there is no way to practice the law, the body of the law is from the day of entry, and it is specially cultivated for the spells to be used later, the work and the law are complementary to each other, the work is the foundation, the law is the appearance, just like repairing a house, the work is the foundation of the house, the steel skeleton, the law is just the external appearance, so, the law is easy to learn, and the law is difficult to practice, especially the advanced exercises, it is even more difficult, I am your master, can teach you, there are some roughly the same understanding, there are some general small spells, if you want to change the Kunlun exercises, this is quite like a half-built building, you suddenly want to change another shape, except to tear down and start over, there is no second way to go. ”
Wang Zhi now understands that he didn't have a concept of Gong and Fa before, he has always felt that this is actually the same thing, Gongfa, Gongfa, only now I understand, the difference between Gong and Fa, so it seems that if you want to make further progress, you must find the Dark Pavilion or others to find the Netherworld Heart Sutra, for the time being, there is no news from the Dark Pavilion, he immediately thought of a person, that is, his elusive ghost sorrow master, maybe he will have the Netherworld Heart Sutra in his hand, and the other one is only afraid that it is on Kongming Mountain, But there is little hope there.
Wang Zhi was distracted, he didn't speak for a while, Wang Xiling was not in a hurry, and the two of them sat silently on the balcony like this, looking at the clear night sky.
After a while, it was Wang Xiling who broke the silence first: "Zhi'er, you don't have to worry about the exercises, it's best to go with the flow, since Liu Bi has chosen you, he naturally won't let you be an insignificant little chess piece all the time." ”
Wang Zhi nodded in agreement, and suddenly felt a little more in his heart, yes, since Liu Bi can raise himself from a stupid and stupid mortal to the realm of fortune at once, as long as he wants to, it must be a simple matter to raise one or two more realms, and the key to the problem is only whether he is worthy of him to do that.
Wang Xiling saw that Wang Zhi's brows finally relaxed, and he also relaxed a little and said: "You don't have to worry about cultivation now, first consolidate what you have learned before, it is enough for you to practice for a few years, and the top priority now is to find your goal and give yourself a clear positioning." ”
Wang Zhi was stunned for a while, he himself felt that there was no goal to fight for for a while, no one chased him every day anymore, and his life calmed down all of a sudden, but he didn't know what to do, he originally wanted to think about it himself and straighten out this matter, but when it really didn't go well, he could ask Fan Xun again, he really didn't expect Wang Xiling to take the initiative to tell him about it, he had to nod: "For the time being, I'm quite at a loss, I don't understand what I'm busy with at all." ”
"That's because you don't know about yourself, and you don't know much about cultivation, and it's not your fault, after being an ordinary person for decades, you suddenly became a cultivator, the contrast is too great, and it's really difficult to adapt to it in a short period of time." Wang Xiling lay calmly on the chair, with a leisurely expression: "It's like a very poor, very poor person, who suddenly has a lot of money, and he can't use it up, at most he will be happy for a while, and he won't know what he should do, he doesn't have to go to work to earn money, and he doesn't have to worry about getting old and having no support, so he gradually loses his goal and doesn't understand what he should do." ”
This metaphor Wang Zhi really empathizes, when he had no money before, he was high-spirited, and he was reluctant to leave until eight or nine o'clock in the evening under the bridge, but now not only has no feeling for money, but even cultivation, is also a happy spirit, the key is that he doesn't understand why he has to cultivate: "Then what's the problem?" ”
"It's just because you haven't fully understood your identity, as well as the environment you are in, just like that poor man, suddenly rich, but in his mind he still continues to regard himself as a poor person, interacting and comparing, and he is also a person at the same level as before, mainly because he has not understood at all, he has actually jumped out of the original world, into a world that he used to look up to, and even dreamed of, just because of this mentality, even if he is in this high-end world, his mind has always been outside this world, soIt is impossible for him to figure out his situation, and there is no way to really understand his identity. ”
