(a)

You and the ancestor sit cross-legged across from each other, each with their eyes closed.

After a while, a golden halo appeared around your body.

At first, the size and brightness of the two halos were almost identical. After a while, the halo around your body began to flicker and darken, bigger and smaller, but the one on the side of the Master Ancestor remained stable and unchanged. After a while, the halo around your body begins to dim, and the aura begins to contract, becoming smaller and smaller, no longer able to cover your body, and gradually shrinks to the vicinity of your heart, turning into a small ball of light that beats across your chest. After a while, the small light cluster also became more and more dim, and even disappeared.

You opened your eyes. Your breath is uneven and slightly gasping. You reach out and cover your heart, an uncomfortable expression.

Shizu also opened his eyes. He looks at you and says, "How does it feel?" ”

You shake your head and continue to hold your heart. You gasp and say, "I can't do it anymore." When the mind is still to a certain extent, and the breath of the whole body stops, it hurts so much that you have to breathe again. I tried many times, but it was like this, but I couldn't break through this threshold and couldn't settle down. ”

The master said, "Do you know what the reason is? ”

You say, "The disciple feels that the endless internal force in the past seems to be gone. Is it that the disciples will not be able to do it in the future? Have all the original internal forces been lost? ”

Shizu said: "Looking back now, your illness this time is so great that I am really afraid." There are so many pills, although it is a temporary emergency, but this emergency has a price. The elixir is just to quickly gather your internal strength and consume it all to protect your heart and veins. Once the effect of the pill has passed, the internal force will naturally decrease. The more you take, the better the temporary heart protection effect, but the more the internal force is depleted. How many pills you took in just one day, do you remember the number? Now, of course, it is green and yellow, and the internal strength is not good. Do you still remember that your master reminded you many times in the past that the pill should not be interrupted or overdosed, just because you were worried about this disadvantage? ”

Master Ancestor said, "However, even after taking so many pills, your heart is still damaged." So now, with a little reluctance, the heart will not be able to stand it. If you didn't have the pill with you at that time, you would not have been able to get out of the barracks gate, let alone ride that far home. It's quite dangerous. ”

You say, "The internal strength that has been lost cannot be recovered in a short period of time, right?" Do you have to practice for more than a decade to get back to your original level? ”

Shi Zu said, "Yes. ”

You say, "But I don't have more than a decade to live, do I?" ”

Shizu looks at you.

You look out the door. You laugh self-deprecatingly and say, "I thought that if I learned it, I wouldn't throw it away." It seems that it is still too optimistic. Everything in this world is lost, without exception. ”

(b)

The ancestor said: "The body protection kung fu that you learned so hard to learn is now lost, and it is natural for you to feel very sorry. ”

You shake your head and say, "The disciple just felt a little surprised, but he didn't feel any regret. ”

The master said, "Oh? Don't you think it's a pity? ”

"Yes." You say, "If the disciple tells the truth, will the master mind?" ”

The master said, "Tell me about it." ”

You said, "I know that my brothers and sisters are very envious, and I can be selected to learn such a physical protection skill as the Golden Bell Jar, so that I can be invulnerable on the battlefield in the future at critical moments." However, I myself was not as happy as they were. Even if I found out that I had learned it and used it more and more proficiently, I didn't feel very happy. ”

"Don't you feel happy that you have learned the mastery of this sect?" Shizu asked.

"Please forgive the disciple for the offense. The disciple really felt that even if he learned such a kung fu as the Golden Bell Jar, it would not be of much use. Its usefulness is really very limited. ”

"How can it be called very limited in function?"

"Master, the disciple thinks that the body that everyone has is actually far more than this one body. In battle, the enemy can attack and damage much more than this body. The kung fu of the golden bell jar can only protect one or two close bodies, and there are so many bodies outside the body that it can't cover or cover. Even if the golden light protects the body, if the enemy wants to hurt me, there is still a chance. For example, my father's body is also my outer body. If the enemy hurts him, although I am unscathed, I will also be wounded physically and mentally, and I will feel the pain and disorder, and I will be weakened with it. If the enemy pierces Qin'er's heart, although I am well in the golden light armor, my heart will also be pierced. If the enemy harms the brothers here, the fathers and villagers in Zhuang Town, if they hurt the brothers in the barracks, I will be hit and wounded in all these things. Admiralty's bodyguard, although it can protect this body and the mount from the sword soldiers, how can it protect so many bodies outside the body? Therefore, it is still only a stopgap measure, and it is not a miracle. The disciple believes that the pattern and scope of the true divine skill are much larger, and it must be so large that it can cover many people, many places, and many lives, even including the lives of the enemy. Standing on the battlefield full of corpses, sometimes even if you win, your heart is still inexplicably sad. Why? Because there are too many casualties in both friend and foe. The death of the enemy, in fact, is also related to our hearts. ”

You say, "Master, the relationship between yourself and the whole is one of both losses and prosperity, and they are connected to each other and are closely related. If you want to protect yourself, you must save everything in the end. Therefore, the disciples really don't think that it is such a great thing to learn the golden bell jar. I am eager to learn the magic skills that cover a wider range of protection, and to be able to protect all people and all lives in this bloody world. That's the real golden light protection, and the real security. ”

You say, "The disciple has kept this in his heart for many years, and he has never dared to confide it in the master and the ancestor. Now, since the kung fu has been lost, the master asked, and the disciple did not dare to hide it anymore, so he dared to show it up, asking the master to forgive the disciple for the crime of disobedience, and imploring the master to point out the confusion and confusion of the disciple. ”

The ancestor sighed with emotion: "What is there to confuse and confuse. This is the clearest thought I've ever heard about the golden bell jar. What you see is very clear. Many of your uncles and uncles don't have such insights, nor do they have such a broad heart of protection, so at the end of their lives, they are just a martial artist. ”

The ancestor said: "Actually, what you have learned and lost is not the real golden bell jar of this sect. The true golden bell jar of this sect has just been sealed and learned. The real golden bell jar of this sect is that you can learn this skill, use this skill, and you can put down this skill, and you can afford to lose this skill, so that the gains and losses come and go, and the heart does not waver, this is the real heart shines, and it is the real invulnerability. ”

The ancestor said: "The golden bell jar is not the outer immortal body, but the inner heart of benevolence and bravery." ”

Shizu said: "You lost the former in your illness, but you further realized the latter, Shizu, this heart is very comforting. Now that you have understood, you must keep it up from now on. No matter what happens, don't lose the original intention of letting go of everything as you are today. ”

You bow to the ground and say, "Disciple, thank you for the teachings of the ancestors." ”

(c)

You say, "Now that I've lost nine out of ten, I'll die faster, and I'll never have a chance to get out of here and fulfill my wish in this life, right?" ”

Shizu shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. Isn't there still your ancestor? ”

You look at him and say, "Master? ”

Shizu said, "You don't have to practice again for more than ten years. Someone is willing to give you his internal force, and the effect is almost the same. ”

You look at Shizu in surprise. You say, "What? ”

Shi Zu said, "You don't have to stare those eyes like owls. Internal force is the most precious thing for a martial arts student. However, no matter how precious it is, if it is buried in the ground and left unused, it is useless. There is no greater tyrannical thing than this. I'm more than 100 years old. Since 10 years ago, I have never descended this mountain, nor have I ever left the mountain gate of this temple. In the future, the old decay will probably not leave this place again. The strife in the world has little to do with my old bones. I can't stand that toss. The internal strength of these decades, with me, is of no use. Soon after, I didn't breathe, and they were all wasted with me. Over the years, the old man has been thinking about finding a young disciple who makes good use of his power and passing it on to his juniors, but he is worried that the transmission is not human, once it is abused, I am afraid it is better not to use it, hesitation and delay, and it has been until now. This time, you suddenly fell ill and lost your internal strength, but you didn't care, but you were able to understand the true heart of this sect and the true meaning of the ancestor, isn't this the destiny of heaven? God, I chose you to help the old man and complete this last inheritance. ”

You bow to the ground and say, "The disciple will never dare." How can a disciple accept the master's ancestor..."

Shizu said: "I don't need to say polite words here. You prayed to the Venerable for longevity and opportunity that day at the Sanqing Temple, and now, it is the Venerable who fulfills your wish through old age. After gaining the old internal strength, you will have the opportunity to end the war for the people of the world and fulfill your wishes. You must work hard to dedicate the essence of your life to the world, and turn it into a peaceful and prosperous world, and into stability and peace for millions of people. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy. ”

The ancestor said: "Today's inheritance, the old decay is not passed on with selfishness, you do not give it with selfishness, it is passed on to the turmoil of the last hundred years, and it is accepted as the peace of the world." Fair, honest and sincere. This burden that the people of the world desire, are you willing to bear it bravely on behalf of the old and the sect again? ”

You look at the ancestor.

Shi Zu said: "A serious illness and death in the near future, now, do you still have the courage to go down the mountain for the first time, and once again bravely take on the responsibility of the rise and fall of the world?" ”

You take a deep breath. You fall to the ground, and you say, "My disciple is willing to bear it." ”

(iv)

The ancestor said: "Jinglong, before passing on the merit to you, there are a few words that you should remember. ”

Shizu said: "These internal forces, after all, are not your own internal forces, old decay can pass on to you, replace the golden bell jar to protect your heart, support your energy, and prolong your life, but the foundation of your body itself is still there." You won't need it until you've recovered to a certain extent. After a considerable period of recuperation, your own foundation will be strengthened, and you will be able to use it as freely as before. You have to be patient, and you have to wait for the strength of your body to be filled. ”

Shizu said: "In addition, this time is different from the previous time. Even if you can use it, you can't use it as often. The more you use it, the shorter your lifespan will be. You must use it sparingly when you don't need to. ”

Master Zu said: "In the end, once you use it, you will feel tired faster than before, the effect will not be as constant as before, and you will feel weaker afterwards." ”

Master: "Do you understand the difference?" ”

You nodded and said, "Disciple understands." The world is peaceful, and it is mainly based on Taoism, supplemented by technology. Disciples do not reverse priorities and put the cart before the horse. The disciples will follow the instructions of the master, use them carefully, use them properly, cherish the internal strength they have gained, and do not do unnecessary consumption. ”
