Chapter Ninety-Eight (Hundred Family Names) Obtained
The Golden Eagle Demon seemed to be particularly unwilling, but all the unwillingness turned into a sigh, and it said: "It's a pity, if you give me another hundred years, I will be able to practice 33,000 swords, as soon as this move is made, no one at the same level is my opponent!" ”
"I lost!" The golden eagle demon admits defeat, it stands at a high altitude, hundreds of meters above Wei Shu, it naturally has an advantage in the duel, and if it can't win in this case, it is a loss.
When Wei Shu heard the Golden Eagle Demon say this, he also said: "A hundred years is not a long time, when you practice the real thirty-three thousand swords, you can come to me, and we will fight again!" ”
The Golden Eagle Demon was very surprised, it looked at Wei Shu carefully for a few moments, then gave way and said: "I have been guarding here for more than eight hundred years, you are the only one who has broken through from me, I will remember you, and after a hundred years, when I have practiced the real thirty-three thousand swords, I will come to you to compete, and when the time comes, I will never lose again!" ”
Wei Yu hugged his fists: "Brother Eagle, see you in a hundred years!" ”
The golden eagle demon also clenched his fists: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”
Wei replied, "My surname is Wei Mingshu. ”
The golden eagle demon's face was a little confused: "Wang Shu? ”
It's a little inaudible.
Wei Shu hugged his fist again: "My name is Wei Shu." ”
The golden eagle demon was even more confused: "Wu Xu? ”
Wei Shu: "..."
Am I especially (family name) obtained?
The golden eagle demon thought for a while, then clenched his fists and said, "I told you that the human race has been obtained, and after a hundred years, we will meet again!" ”
Wei Shu flew into the sky and said politely: "A hundred years later, goodbye..."
After Wei Shu broke through this small world barrier and left, the golden eagle demon scolded: "Goodbye ghost!" ”
It stretched out its hands, its palms were already dripping with blood, and the feathers on its wings began to fall, the battle just now, which seemed to be a draw, had actually taken a heavy toll on it.
What to say after a hundred years, in fact, it is just a polite word, like "get together another day", "invite you to dinner next time", and other polite words, the time and place are not clear, where will you go to the showdown after a hundred years?
The Golden Eagle Demon has to get out of the way, and if it continues to fight, it will be at risk of falling.
It was very angry, it had not encountered a single challenger for more than 800 years of guarding this place, and it was the first to defeat it, which was too much of a failure, which made it very shameless.
At this time, Wei Shu had already broken through the third layer and came to the fourth layer, Wei Shu asked the golden battle armor: "How many layers are there before breaking through to the top of Kunlun Mountain?" ”
Jin Jia replied: "Nine is the extreme number, you have to hit the ninth layer to reach the top of Kunlun Mountain, and when the time comes, you will obtain the supreme true scripture "Tao Sutra". ”
The fourth layer is a big river, and at this time, Wei Shu is standing on top of a small boat, he breaks through the barrier, takes a step, and comes to this small boat.
Because there was no wind, the river was very calm, and there was hardly a wave, and the boat hovered over the river, as if caught in a mirror, and the clouds reflected in the sky, but they were also motionless.
Wei Shu frowned: "How can this fourth-layer small world break through, or break the sky?" Which Guardian is watching? ”
Jin Jia shook his head: "It's useless, from the fourth layer onwards, you can't rely on brute force to pass the level, even if you shatter this piece of heaven and earth, it's useless." ”
Wei Shu touched the surface of the water, only to find that the surface of the water was as hard as iron, and the boat was also still and could not be rowed.
Suddenly, Wei Shu had a flash of inspiration, and he asked, "Could it be that we are in a painting?" ”
Jin Jia replied, "You really noticed, this fourth layer is a painting, from the hand of a rule-level powerhouse. ”
Everything around is still, the sky, the river, the boats, all completely still, like a painting.
Wei Shu looked around carefully and couldn't help but sigh: "This is a very beautiful painting. ”
The sky is wide and infinite, the river is calm and waveless, only a small boat, staying on the surface of the river, if it is painted on the outside, it really feels that the artistic conception is infinite, but the view is limited, the drawing is so big, there will always be an end.
But in the painting, there is no end in sight, the sky is infinite, and the river is also infinite.
This is the difference between appearance and vipassana, the appearance is limited, the introspection is infinite, this is the state of mind.
Wei Shu realized, and finally sat down cross-legged and carefully understood the truth.
What is Stillness? What is Kinematic?
What is Limited? What is Infinity?
This perception is the reward for Wei to get through the third layer and come to the fourth layer, not a weapon, nor a technique, but a kind of understanding.
"The appearance is its form, and the form is not; Looking inward, the mind has no mind. ”
A scripture suddenly flowed into Wei Shu's heart, Wei Shu felt it carefully, and then found that this was a piece of exercise about refining qi and transforming gods!
When we look at a painting, no matter how big the painting is, there is always a boundary, which is the shape, but we look at the painting not only to see but also to understand its artistic conception, although the painting is limited, but the artistic conception is infinite.
Wei Shu sat down cross-legged, felt it carefully, and soon fell into a mysterious realm, why didn't the golden armor say much about the rewards and methods of clearing the fourth layer at the beginning, the purpose was also to let Wei get self-realization.
In fact, it is also perceiving, but unfortunately, it can't feel anything, because it already knows what the reward of the fourth layer is, and it is precisely because it knows that it has not been realized, because it knows in advance, so when it sees this scene, it lacks a feeling of realization at first sight.
It's like someone spoiling before watching a movie, if no one spoils, I feel amazing when I watch it, but if someone spoils my face, although I still sigh when I watch it, I don't have that amazing feeling.
Wei Shu sat in the boat, felt for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and looked into the distance, the breath on his body also seemed more pure, those impetuous turbidity dissipated, and the whole person had a feeling of fluttering like a fairy.
Jin Jia asked, "What have you realized?" ”
Wei Shu shook his head: "I can't say it, I can only understand it, but I can't say it." ”
This is a kind of artistic conception, a method of cultivating the mind and refining the spirit, which requires the practitioner to look inwardly at his mind, to observe the vastness of the sea of mind, and to observe the distance of the mind.
But this is not the main reason why it cannot be spoken, the main reason is that my knowledge reserve is not enough, and I can't explain what I feel with my current level of knowledge, at least it must be illogical and impossible to demonstrate, so instead of saying it out and losing face, it is better to pretend to say "I can only mean it but not speak", so as to show my specialness.
After all, it's not because of lack of culture...
Jin Jia nodded his non-existent head, and his helmet shook up and down: "It seems that you have understood, the Tao is the way, the very way, this is not something that can be explained in words, you can only slowly understand it yourself." ”
This is what it looks like to not realize anything but pretend to be aware of it, say that you are right, and then nod, you can resolve the embarrassment that you don't understand anything.
Of course, Wei Shu knew that this thing was forcibly covered up, so he didn't break it, but asked, "How can I crack it to go to the fifth layer?" ”
