Zhan Wuxian sat there cross-legged, with the "Seven Techniques of the Yin Fu of the Benjing" beside him, he frowned and said in his heart: I can be single-minded, and I have only one wish, but my heart can never calm down. Panic, anxiety, lingering. I want to do something but I don't know where to start, I don't know how to do it, I can't do anything about it when I see time passing.

Zhan Wuxian told Mo Wuya about his state of mind more than once for this reason, and Mo Wuya looked at him every time and smiled: "I am very satisfied to be with you, no matter what you do, I will support you." Zhan Wuxian's heart calmed down a lot after listening to it every time, but after a while, the inexplicable desire in his heart rose again, and no matter how he suppressed it, it was useless.

On this day, Zhan Wuxian felt panicked again, so he went out of the house alone and walked in the valley, wanting to see the beautiful scenery in the ghost valley and relieve the depression in his heart. But when he saw the wonders in the Ghost Valley, he realized that there was no beautiful scenery in his heart, and even if the beautiful scenery was in his eyes, you just didn't want to watch it and turned a blind eye.

Unconsciously, Zhan Wuxian came to the top of a high cliff, and below was a vast sea of clouds, scattered into a brocade, very open. The mountains are surrounded by white clouds, and only the tips of the horns are exposed, like a plate of white jade gelatinous shoots piercing out of the roots. After the sea of clouds, there is also a mountain cliff opposite, the peaks are tall and beautiful, dense, like countless palms towering between the sky and the sea. The waterfalls at the finger cracks flow straight down, the mist rises, and flows into the sea of clouds silently, and it is like a sea of clouds pouring down, flowing upwards into the mountain stream.

Zhan Wuxian let out a long breath, he really wanted to shout and express the depression in his chest. He tried several times without success, and finally he mustered up the courage: "Ahh......h At the same time, Zhan Wuxian saw a black dot suddenly appear between his fingers on the opposite side, jumping up and down, and after a while, he stopped and floated towards him. The black dot is getting bigger and bigger, and when it gets closer, it turns out to be the junior sister Zhong Wurong. I saw her feet dangling in the air, flying in the void, and the sea of clouds floating under her feet.

When he came closer, Zhong Wurong said, "What are you shouting nonsense, it scares me." ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled: "Senior sister, have you practiced the Flying Dragon Cloud Riding Technique?" ”

Zhong Wurong said: "It's still early, this is just a small part of it, it's called Youlong Dengyunbu, what do you think?" ”

"Good, good."

"What's good, it's good, if you don't discuss it, you will say this."

"Who else told me the same?"

"Who else? Isn't it Senior Brother Sun, you know that you are sitting there motionless, and ask him ten words to answer you. He just didn't expect that the master was also very abnormal these days, usually he couldn't even see a figure, but now he has been sitting there staring at a stone wall without saying a word, and the little ape is sitting there like the master, let's play with it, and I don't even care about it, it's really boring. ”

"You mean Uncle Shi is looking at a stone wall, where are they?"

"Just behind the cliff opposite."

"Can you take me there?"

"If you want to go by yourself, I'm going to find Chi'er and let him see if it's fun for me to swim in the dragon and climb the clouds."

Zhan Wuxian smiled helplessly, and after seeing Zhong Wurong leave, he jumped up and landed on the top of a mountain in the Yunpu Sea, and then flew to another mountain peak a few miles away, so that he could reach the opposite finger cliff more than ten times. Bypass the mountain cliff, see that behind it is a flat lake, the shore of the lake is towering, there are big and small, round and flat. On the other side of the lake is a mountain range, towering and boundless, and one of them is facing the lake, square and smooth as a mirror, as if someone had cut through it with a sword, half of it was towering, and the other half was unknown. Guiguzi and the little white ape were sitting on the boulder protruding from the lake, looking up at the smooth stone wall, like two stone sculptures on the boulder, motionless.

"Uncle Shi." Zhan Wuxian said in the past.

"Don't talk, look ahead." Guiguzi's voice was calm, his expression was solemn, and he didn't have his usual witty appearance at all, showing the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters.

Zhan Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then sat on a big rock next to him, staring at the stone wall in front of him like Guiguzi and Little White Ape. Two people and one beast, three figures are reflected on the surface of the lake, the shadows are like real people, I don't know if it is real in the water or real on the boulder. A few fallen leaves floated over and landed on the surface of the lake, covering the people in the water, only to know that it was a reflection.

"What do you see?" Guiguzi asked.

"Stone wall."

"Do you still have doubts in your mind when you come to me?"

"Yes." Zhan Wuxian replied: "Today I am studying the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in this Sutra", and it is written: The heart can obtain one, but there is its technique; If the heart is quiet, the gods will be glorious, and the gods will not be confused; If you want more, your heart will be scattered. I understand all of this, but I just can't control my desires, I want to create my own swordsmanship and realize my ideals. But many times I don't know where to start, and I spend this time in a state of hesitation. I think I can be single-minded, and I only have one desire, but I often feel that time is passing, life is wasted, and I don't know if I can succeed. I was always afraid that I would not see the moment in my limited life that I had envisioned the future. ”

"So what you want is to create your own swordsmanship, but you don't know where to start."

"Exactly."

"I ask you, what do you think is the most precious thing in your life?"

Zhan Wuxian pondered for a moment and said: "Love, family, affection." They're already there for me. ”

"If you want more, your heart will be scattered." Guiguzi said: "Since you think you already have your most precious thing, why force it to be anything else? Being around you doesn't necessarily mean that you have them, something needs to be cared for. The scriptures I have given you are only external causes, which are used for prompting, and it is the internal causes that play a decisive role in achieving one's desires. ”

"Please make it clear."

"The internal cause of action is actually the person, which is yourself. The most important thing is to be able to know what you can and can't do, what you are suitable for and what you are not suitable for, and what height you can reach in the end. Take martial arts training as an example, if a person doesn't work hard, practice when he wants to, and don't practice when he doesn't want to practice, then his martial arts are just plain; If you practice hard and add time, you will achieve a little success; If he wants to be blue, then he has to use twelve points of effort and will; If you want to improve the realm to the next level, it is not just hard work and will that can be done, but to know the strengths of the people, integrate them, and then reach the unrivaled realm. ”

"And after that?"

"Later, haha......" Guiguzi smiled: "After that, it depends on the talent." In fact, incomparable is only relative, because the real master will not be compared with others, and those who have reached this state of mind can be superb, unparalleled in the world, and then become a generation of grandmasters. ”

"How can I become a Grandmaster?"

"It depends on fate. Some people's abilities are innate, they are born to be a generation of grandmasters, and they can't learn it. For example, your master, he was born a master of swordsmanship. I remember that we were studying together at that time, and your master was proficient in other techniques after hard work, but when it came to swordsmanship, he was self-taught. As long as he picks up the sword, the sword seems to have spirituality, and a set of swordsmanship will naturally be practiced. Another example is Xianzhen of the Jin State, he was born to be a marshal, and only as a marshal could he defeat the powerful Chu State at that time in the Battle of Chengpu.

I'm telling you so much, just to tell you that people are more important than being able to recognize themselves, and choices are very important. It's good that you have ideals, but you have to do what you can, and after you have what you think is most precious, don't rush the rest, otherwise you will lose your mind. Time will tell, and he is fair to everyone. ”

Zhan Wuxian listened and was silent. After a while, he said, "Then what if I am not born to accept it?" ”

"Only become a demon."

At this time, the little white ape suddenly let out a long roar, jumped up, and landed on the surface of the lake as if it were stepping on the ground. I saw that its fists and feet were stretched, sliding rapidly against the surface of the lake, as if holding an invisible sword in its hand, flying up and down, stretching its movements, opening and closing, a sword slashed, and the lake was separated from the long ditch when it landed, and the sword pointed forward, and a large stone on the opposite bank that was a foot wide immediately burst into pieces. This sword move is peculiar, and it is a move that Zhan Wuxian has never seen before.

Many years later, the little white ape became the old white ape, and he happened to meet a woman named Ah Qing in Yue and taught her this swordsmanship.

"It seems that the little ape understands, and he can already see the wordless heavenly book on the other side." Guiguzi Road.

"Wordless Heavenly Book?" Zhan Wuxian was a little confused.

"The stone wall on the other side is the wordless heavenly book."

"Why can't I see anything?"

"In the eyes of some, the Wordless Book of Heaven is nothing more than a stone wall, while in the eyes of others, it is a secret book. The wordless book is all-encompassing, endlessly changing, and the content displayed is different every day. ”

"Uncle Shi, who can see the wordless heavenly book?"

"Only those who have no distractions and no desires can see. But even if these people can see the wordless heavenly book, they are not sure that after he finishes reading one article, his mood will inevitably fluctuate, which will lead to greed and want to see more. The little white ape does not belong to our kind, he is born without distractions, and he does not know what profit and greed are, so that he can see the content of the wordless heavenly book. The set of swordsmanship he practiced just now evolved from the Wordless Heavenly Book. ”

"It seems that the disciple has no chance to see the content of the wordless heavenly book."

"It's not just you, even I can't see the true face of the wordless heavenly book."

"Uncle Shi, please teach me how to get rid of the greed in my heart."

"It's up to you, no one can teach you. It's not terrible to have desires, it's greed to be terrible, and time will make you understand. ”

Recently, his inner anxiety is that he still has greed.

Zhan Wuxian met Sun Wuyu on the way back.

"Brother Wuxi, where did you come from?"

"On the other side of the cliff, there is no word in the heavenly book. Uncle Shi and the little ape were there. ”

"Can you see the contents of the Wordless Book of Heaven?"

Zhan Wuxian shook his head: "The little ape can see it." ”

Sun Wuyu said: "The little ape is born with extraordinary talents, and there is no greed of the world, he seems to have been born to interpret the wordless heavenly book, and in the future, you and I will probably not be as good as the little ape." ”

"How can we achieve the state of desirelessness, selflessness."

"It's hard. Unless the person is enlightened. ”

Zhan Wuxian sighed and asked, "Where did the senior brother come from, I haven't seen the senior brother for half a month. ”

Sun Wuyu said: "Come, I'll show you something." Sun Wuyu took Zhan Wuxian into a mountain col, and suddenly there was an acre of open grassland in front of him, and there were eight ancient pines sparsely growing around, which were vigorous and upright, and the branches were stretched, just like eight crane-haired immortals, looking at the piles of craggy and strange rocks placed in the middle of the grass. The strange stones are scattered in a variety of places, and there are thirteen places in total, and the number of stones in each place is different, and the orientation is different.

"These stones are strangely placed, could it be the formation created by the senior brother?"

Sun Wuyu said, "Follow me." Sun Wuyu led Zhan Wuxian into the open space in the middle of the stone pile: "As my junior brother said, this is a newly created formation called the Seven Gates and Six Escape Formations. If people are arranged in different directions, and then flexibly run the position, no matter how many troops and horses they have, as long as they are surrounded by the formation, it will be difficult for them to fly. ”

Zhan Wuxian stared at these stones, and there was a place in front of him that was like a flood that was coming, and he quickly turned to the side, and suddenly felt calm as water, and there was nothing strange about it. Zhan Wuxian smiled and walked to the side, but suddenly felt trapped in an endless cycle, with no way forward and no way out. Zhan Wuxian had no choice but to use the escape technique, and only then did he break out of the Seven Gates and Six Escape Formation.

Zhan Wuxian said: "Senior brother, this stone formation is very secretive, if it weren't for the small area of the stone formation, I really wouldn't be able to rush out, I don't know how senior brother came up with this formation?" ”

Sun Wuyu said: "I've been thinking about it these days, no matter how high a person's martial arts are, there must be a limit to what he can do alone, if it is a group of people, a team, a city, and a country. If they work together and play to their respective strengths, the energy they burst out will be multiplied and immeasurable. It's like these stones, take out a single piece, it's just an ordinary stone, arrange them in different directions, form a stone henge, these stones produce an effect that is not comparable to a single piece or a random pile of stones, you have just experienced it. ”

"Listening to what the senior brother said, there are a lot of benefits from being compassionate and compassionless." Zhan Wuxian said: "What are the plans of Senior Brother in the future?" ”

"Apply what you have learned, Master has allowed me to go down the mountain, and then our brothers will join forces to make a career."

"Okay." Zhan Wuxian readily agreed.

After this day's experience, Zhan Wuxian began to rethink his future.
