Chapter 318: The Purpose of Carrying the Big Stone
It is already a great disrespect to compare himself to the true dragon emperor, saying that he is more powerful than the emperor, if he dares to say this kind of thing in Xuchang City, let alone the son of today, even the powerful Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not let him go easily.
When Monk Benian heard Liu He's head-dropping remarks, he smiled faintly and didn't seem to take it to heart.
"I want to ask you something, under what circumstances will the true qi in the body suddenly skyrocket?" Liu He suddenly asked seriously.
Monk Benian walked back to his place, sat down cross-legged, and said softly: "If you want to understand this problem, you must first understand why I asked you to move those stones. ”
Liu He pouted unconsciously, why? It's not a bad master!
"What's the mystery in this, you can tell me about it." Although he was a little resentful in his heart, in order to clarify the problem, Liu He still asked patiently.
"Ordinary people practice martial arts, they first cultivate their physique, and then cultivate their skills, but you, on the contrary of others, first gain a deep body of skills, but your physique is almost no different from a person who does not understand martial arts. On the first day, I asked you to move that big rock, in addition to wanting to investigate your martial arts foundation, there is also a purpose, that is, to see what kind of temper you are, so as to prescribe the right medicine and find a suitable method for your cultivation. ”
When Liu He heard this, he said in a tone full of doubts: "You are also talking too mysterious, right?" Moving a broken stone, is there such a big exquisiteness? ”
Monk Beinian glanced at Liu He meaningfully, "Do you remember that on the first day you went up the mountain, I only said that I would move the big stone down, but I never mentioned the request that you should not use external forces?" ”
Liu He pondered carefully, it was really like this, and he still seized this point and played a scoundrel with Monk Benian.
"The reason why I didn't give you any restrictions is to see what kind of method you will use to move the boulder down the mountain. If you go down the mountain to the city to get tools, it means that you are a person who follows the rules and still keeps your duty, and knows that with your strength at that time, it is absolutely impossible to move the big rock. It's just that if you choose so, you are destined to be on the road of martial arts training in the future, and the first half of the journey will be very smooth, but once you encounter a bottleneck, you will stop, and it will even be difficult to make a breakthrough in your life, because people who follow the rules and do not know how to be flexible will find it difficult to comprehend the true meaning of advanced martial arts after all. ”
"What if I pushed that boulder straight down the mountain?" Liu He asked with a smile.
"If you can push that big stone, it means that you have some experience in the use of true qi, but the person who chooses this method is a stupid person of the highest rank in the world. The boulder rolled down from the mountain, and where it landed, there was no control at all, and if it was far from here, wouldn't what it had done before be in vain? Besides, although I have not imposed many restrictions, what I have always said is to move the boulder down the mountain, and it is not clear to distinguish between moving and pushing, what do you say is not a stupid person? ”
Hearing this, Liu He completely believed the words of the monk Benian, and it seemed that he had indeed considered it before letting himself carry the boulder.
After thinking about it, Liu He then asked: "Then tell me, what kind of character am I when I smash the big stone?" ”
Monk Benian pondered for a moment and said softly: "The previous two choices, in your opinion, seem to be the second is the worst choice, but most people will choose the second option. You may not understand, but for a person who is already equipped with martial arts, the second option seems to be the most reasonable. If you had the strength to move the boulder to the edge of the hill, you might have done the same. ”
Liu He squinted at Monk Bei Nian, and said in a strange manner: "What do you mean, I'm just like everyone else, I'm a stupid person?" ”
Monk Benian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "When I saw you move that pile of rubble down the mountain, I found that I was the stupidest person in the world, because I never thought that in addition to the previous two choices, there was a third choice in this world. ”
Liu He smiled evilly: "I just think you're praising me." ”
Monk Beinian had a serious face, "Your character is mixed, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. That's why I asked you to restore the boulder to its original state the next day. Any person with a flexible mind must be a person with a detached personality, but this kind of character is not a good thing for a person who practices martial arts. The road of martial arts training is still a boring and boring process after all, and it takes time to accumulate the process, and people with a character like you may not be able to calm down. I asked you to restore the boulder to its original state, precisely because I wanted to sharpen your mind and let you throw away the distractions in your heart, so that you can truly touch the true meaning of martial arts. ”
Liu He smiled with relief, there was a time when he seemed to be competing with Monk Benian in his heart, and the more the other party put forward those unattainable requirements for himself, the more he was motivated and wanted to complete it with all his heart.
At that time, he just won with one mind, but from the results, it was the fourth monk in the world in front of him who won after all.
"Indeed, since I restored the boulder to its original state, I suddenly found that I was able to control the operation of the true qi in my body very well. Before this, I had never really experienced it calmly, so to this day, I still can't use this skill. Like you said, it's like a three-year-old boy with a magic weapon in his hand, and now that I think about it, it's really a waste. ”
This seems to be the first time that Liu He has openly and honestly said what he thinks in his heart after the two met, and before that, the two were more like two competing children, and neither of them would let go first.
"I don't think I have anything left to teach you." Monk Benian said calmly.
Liu He was shocked, did not speak, just silently looked at the monk Benian.
After saying those words in his heart just now, Liu He suddenly felt extremely comfortable, but he didn't think that he would be separated from Monk Benian in a blink of an eye.
"When are you leaving? Where are you going? Liu He, who knew that he was powerless to keep it, asked softly.
The monk took off the rosary around his neck again, took it in his hand and twisted it gently, "I'll leave tomorrow, where are I going...... I don't know myself. ”
Liu He nodded slightly, got up and walked towards the door of the broken temple, took a few steps, and turned around again, "Give me your wine gourd, and I'll go get some wine." ”
Half an hour later, Liu He, who was drunk with a delicate food box in one hand and two jars of three immortals in the other, returned to the ruined temple, and the wine gourd that was regarded as a treasure by the monk Benian was pinned to his waist by Liu He, and he looked a little out of place in his son-in-law dress.
Monk Benian raised his head and looked through the hole in the roof of the broken temple at the sky that had been full of dark clouds for some time, as if he was worried about something.
