Far north, beyond the Immortal Mountains.

…………

Li Yuanfeng's account.

…………

…………

It was a cloudy morning and it was likely to rain.

In this corner of heaven and earth, more abundant rain is needed.

On the other side of the valley is a large snow-capped mountain.

Because of this, it can get very cold at night.

…………

…………

…………

Li Yuanfeng: "After a few days of meditation, I came back here. I have a house in the mountains, and I live alone. It's one of many mountain huts, with trees and larks in front of you, and you can walk for miles in the mountains. ”

“……… I usually walk long distances at dawn or late afternoon. The day after my last meeting with you, I walked along the mountain path, about five miles or more, and I decided to see you again. ”

…………

…………

Li Yuanfeng: "At first, I felt very troubled. I can't fully understand what you're saying, what you're pointing out to me. Though I was skeptical, I allowed your word to be there. I didn't accept it all, I didn't veto it all, but these words always lingered in my ears and lingered........."

“……… So I deliberately used the word allow to allow these words in my head. After much thought, I went to the inn and asked the guy. And then here it is. It's a beautiful valley and I'm so glad I was able to find you here. Can we continue that conversation? ”

…………

"If I understand correctly, you have pointed out that ideas are influenced by preconceived notions, and people may not think much about it and accept that we are our own selves; I think a lot about this"

“……… By thinking, I mean the general meaning of thinking, thinking, inferring, questioning, arguing as if I had a discussion with myself, a long conversation, and I think I did understand the meaning. ”

“……… I think about the whole course of history. After thinking about it, I did understand the true meaning of your words. If you have time, I'd like to go a little deeper with you. ”

“……… As you know, I am here to find the truth of perdition, but I find it very important to begin by understanding the self, and only after passing through the door of the ego can I talk about perishing if I can describe it that way. ”

…………

…………

…………

"As we've said before, we're all sharing the light, and we haven't said that."

"The light is not yours, nor is it so-and-so. It is the source of life that we share. If you pay close attention, you will find that the sunset belongs to all beings in heaven and earth. It's important to understand that it doesn't belong to any one thing or any one person. ”

“……… In the same way, everything about us, including our reactions and actions, our thoughts, beliefs, fears, joys, beliefs, things we worship and aspire to, our unhappiness, our anxieties, and our sorrows, all of which are common to all human beings. ”

“……… When we encounter misfortune, we see it as our own business. We shut out all human misfortunes. The same is true for joy, we see joy as our own business, and we experience happiness and other emotions alone. ”

…………

“……… We forget that everyone is a whole human being, and we are always suffering great misfortunes. ”

…………

"It is very important to understand this, not to accept it eloquently and intellectually, but to accept it profoundly, as a part of the human being, as an indispensable thing of the human being."

“……… As we said before, thoughts are not yours or mine, and thoughts are not personal thoughts. The idea is shared by all. When people really realize the importance of this, we can probably understand the truth of perdition. ”

…………

"As a child, you must have followed a bubbling pond in a narrow valley. The water is getting faster and faster, as you throw a branch into the pond and follow it downhill, uphill, across streams, until it's gone. This disappearance is our life. ”

…………

…………

Li Yuanfeng: "What is this fear of perishing?"

…………

…………

"This question aside, what is perdition? Sir, what does it mean for you to perish? ”

…………

…………

Li Yuanfeng: "For me, death means the end of my past and present. The tree withered, the fish died, everything ended in an instant, thoughts, pain, anxiety, fear, happiness, everything came to an end. When I think of this, I not only burst into tears, but also realize my own weakness and loneliness. ”

“……… I would think of being separated from everything, from what I cherished, remembered, and held onto, and that I would sever all connection and the associated pain, and everything would come to an abrupt end. ”

"I think that's how we usually think about perdition, that's it. For me, death means the end. ”

…………

“……… I used to have a cute white cat and this little thing is beautiful. One morning, it died, on the front porch. Probably because it had eaten something it was lying there, motionless and lifeless. It will never meow again. This is perdition. ”

“……… I once planted a small sapling that I hope will grow into a towering tree. However, some reckless people passed by and stepped on it......... It will never grow into a tree. This is also perdition. The end of each day, whether good or bad, can be called death. Every day has a beginning and an end. ”

…………

…………

"Sir, what is life? From the birth of someone to the end of life, what is life? It's important to understand why we live this way after so many years? ”

“……… Sir, is life an eternal struggle? Conflict, pain, anxiety, loneliness, frustration, fear, non-stop toil. Laboring for others or for oneself, being self-centered, perhaps sometimes being generous, jealous, angry, trying to suppress anger or letting anger explode, and so on. ”

“……… This is what we call tears, laughter, sorrow, worship of what we have created. Living in lies, illusions and jealousy, tired of everything, empty: this is our life. "This is the case in the rest of my life. No more elaboration.

“……… It's not your life, it's the life of all the people here and there, and we all want to stay away from these things. This worship and fear has continued throughout the ages with toil, conflict, pain, doubt, sadness, pleasure and laughter. All of these are part of life. ”

…………

"The end of it all is called perdition. Perdition will put an end to everything, both superficial and deep. All of this will end with perdition. ”

…………

There are several questions here: First, the question of eternal life.

“……… Is there really eternal life? The answer is that man cannot live forever, and man will realize perishment. Eternal life means transcending time and not being aware of the end at all. ”

"Ego, will I live forever? The ego will never live forever. ”

"I, myself, and everything associated with it come together through time."

"The ego will never live forever. One can create the idea of eternal life, can construct grand plans and imaginations, and believe in it, and gain peace from it, but it is not eternal life. ”

…………

"The second is a bit more complicated, is it possible for people to adapt to perdition? No fear, no self-abandonment. Why do we separate birth from death? Perdition is also part of our life, part of our being"

"Perishing and becoming, behaving and perishing, they are inseparable. Feelings of jealousy, anger, sadness, loneliness, and joy are called birth, and these thoughts can also be called extinction. Why distance themselves from each other? ”

"Yes, we know the difference. We can accept the death of the elderly, this is the law of nature. But when young people die in an accident, we say it's not fair and shouldn't be. ”

“……… It can be seen that we always separate birth from death. This is a question that we should question and understand, or rather, not treat it as a problem, but look at its inner meaning and not stop at it. ”

…………

"The last question is: since the individual represents all people, you are all people, not representatives. You are this world, everything is you, so what will happen when you die? ”

“……… When you or someone else dies, you and others represent a pond of human action and reaction. For the time being, it is collectively referred to as "pond", and the same applies hereafter.

“……… You are the pond. That pond limits the human mind, the human mind, and as long as we retain greed, jealousy, fear, joy, and other emotions, we are part of the pond. ”

…………

“……… When you are alive, you are the pond itself. The pond is changing, sometimes rippling, sometimes calm; Sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, as long as you are part of the pond, there is no infinity. ”

“……… Time, confusion, accumulated tragic memories can become limiting. Only when everything ends, the end is not when you get out of the pond or become something else, but when the pond ends completely. ”

“……… Only then will a very different dimension emerge. This dimension cannot be measured in words. The end of no reason is the beginning of infinity. ”

…………

…………

…………

…………

Xiling Village, a courtyard.

…………

Two days later, one noon.

The stupidity was framed by Lin Beizi and Zhou Dongzi, and came to the demon Lang Zhongmu Xiaoxiao again.

After Lin Beizi bowed to the door, the three of them entered the room.

…………

Then, Lin Beizi and Zhou Dongzi sat on the wooden chairs on the side, and then walked to their own positions and stood.

…………

Zhengxizi was waiting indoors.

The three brothers looked at Mu Xiao, and they didn't know what the master meant today.

…………

…………

When the demon man saw that everyone had arrived, he slowly said, "Today, the teacher called you to come, and I told you about something."

After a change of words, he said: "The teacher has decided to reopen the mountain gate, and the fool who accepts the king is the disciple who enters the house and closes the door."

…………

As soon as these words came out, the three brothers in the hall exhaled in surprise, and they all looked at each other.

…………

The demon man Zhongmu Xiao said: "You don't have to talk about it, you have already made up your mind as a teacher."

Then he said to the fool: "In the future, you will be commensurate with their senior brothers, and you can ask your senior brother for advice on some basic exercises." Wait until your body is fully recovered, and then the teacher will teach you personally. ”

It was only then that he believed that everything was true, and immediately got up and faced Mu Xiao.

He bowed down again and again, and said in his mouth: "Master is above, and the apprentice has worshiped you."

said with mixed feelings, and I couldn't cry anymore.

…………

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao smiled: "You don't have to be like this, get up." ”

…………

…………

Lin Beizi hurriedly got up and came over to pick up the fool for the master, and said in his mouth: "It's really gratifying that the junior brother can enter this door."

smiled silly, tears still hanging on his face.

The other two senior brothers also got up and came over to congratulate them, and they were all amazed that their stupid minds were firm and they would be able to achieve great success.........

…………

…………

In the next few days, the fool got up early every day to practice boxing with the senior brother.

Lin Beizi instructed the basic exercises of the stupid Benmen, such as standing piles, absorbing qi and some simple footwork such as horse steps, lunges and so on.

…………

…………

A few more days.

Lin Beizi began to instruct the basic movements in boxing, and began to teach simple boxing methods such as silly long boxing and five element boxing.

These, the stupid learning has always been very serious.

…………

The rest of the time, the fool helped the courtyard to chop firewood and carry water to do some chores.

…………

…………

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Beizi is still a foolish practice boxer who gets up early every day, and now his teaching has changed from simple to complex.

But the stupid was born with a stupid brain, except for the simple moves at the beginning, but he couldn't comprehend Lin Beizi's new style.

The stupidity is very annoying.

Why are you so stupid!!

is so stupid, Lin Beizi is helpless, so he has to go and tell the master.

…………

"Master, the stupid junior brother is honest and stupid. So far, he has been practicing for more than half a month, and he has only used the basic exercises skillfully. The other moves are indeed incomprehensible, and I hope that the master will show them. Lin Beizi bowed down and stood in front of the demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao.

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao smiled and said: "All living beings in the world have their strengths and weaknesses. Inheritance also varies from person to person. Call him. ”

Lin Beizi turned around and went out, and returned to the door with a stupid look in just a moment.

…………

Lin Beizi bowed down and said, "Master, the stupid junior brother brought it."

The demon man Zhongmu Xiao said inside: "Lin Beizi, you go." The silly came in. ”

The stupid Yiyan walked into the cottage and bowed down and called Master.

I saw Master meditating with his eyes closed. He also walked to the side and sat down on a wooden chair.

The master doesn't speak, and he doesn't say anything stupid.

Sit up quietly according to the method taught by Lin Beizi.

…………

The master and apprentice are like this, you don't speak, I don't speak.

He sat there for six hours.

Seeing that the sun had sunk in the west, the demon man Zhongmu Xiao opened his eyes with a smile and said, "Well, although you are dull, you have perseverance. I know how to teach you. ”

The silly joy said, "Really?"

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao said: "You are here to seek martial arts success. However, according to your talents, you can't get it if it's not extreme. ”

When the fool heard the demon Lang Zhongmu Xiaoyan say that he still had hope, he couldn't help but dance happily.

…………

Seeing this, the demon man Zhongmu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be happy first, listen to the teacher and slowly tell you more."

listened attentively to the silly words, and did not dare to disturb at all.

…………

Half a day.

…………

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao groaned and said: "But all martial arts are divided into inside and outside, but the different paths are the same. As a teacher, there is still a way to fulfill your wishes. ”

The stupid Wenyan nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship."

…………

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao smiled and nodded, "Well, it will take seven years for this method to be considered a beginner, and you will have to go through a lot of hardships in these seven years to achieve a small success."

The fool nodded, and did not speak.

…………

The demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao said again: "Being a teacher is a person outside the party." I don't do anything else. Then he has taken you as an apprentice, and he has taught you two things according to your knowledge."

"One said" the time comes", once practiced after seven years, you can travel two or three hundred miles in an hour, and this skill cannot be obtained by those who are not determined. ”

The second is called "small stone breaking", which can fly stones and hit birds within 50 steps, and it is also a hidden weapon. ”

“……… Once these two styles have been practiced, the introductory process is complete. ”

…………

When he heard this, he kowtowed and said, "I am willing to learn, please teach me from Master."

…………

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao nodded and smiled: "You go back and sew two pockets, which are filled with sand." Tie it to your legs every day, and run with the method that your brother has taught you until you are exhausted. When you go to the mountains with your second senior brother to collect medicine in your spare time, you need to do the same. Do you remember? ”

The fool said, "I wrote it down."

…………

The demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao said again: "Take a cloth bag and hang it around your waist, there is a big lake behind the mountain, and take a bag of small stones on the shore." Every day, walking in the mountains is targeted by leaves, and stones are thrown at them alternately. From near to far, one bag a day, do you remember? ”

The fool said, "I wrote it down."

Demon Lang Zhongmu Xiao said: "In this case, you can go."

The stupid got up and bowed down and said, "Master, I'm out."
