Zhao Shenbi sat on the ground, flipped his big sleeves, stroked his forehead with his hand, and smiled, "You are a monk of the Divine Realm who is about to ascend, and you want to worship a little monk like me who is traveling to the realm as a teacher?"

However, Li Bai did not have the slightest joking look on his face, but put away the wine bottle and straightened up.

Sit upright, without saying a word.

Zhao Shenbi looked stunned, and after being silent for a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile again, "You go, although I don't know why you were able to come here to find me, and why you think that I can help you achieve the Tao, but I really can't help you." I won't hide it from you, I am indeed the reincarnation of the half-step Nirvana Venerable in the Great Realm of Sumeru, but at the moment, I am full of problems, the Great Dao has collapsed, and there is nothing, so I am afraid that it will not help you. ”

Zhao Shenbi's words can be described as frank and honest, because from the undisguised heart of the young man in white, he really felt the heart of seeking the Tao, pure and calm, and the sword heart was clear.

Li Bai's face darkened, and he actually showed an expression of loss, and the sword qi in his body dispersed like a low tide.

Zhao Shenbi sighed secretly, and only then did he raise his head for the first time, and took a good look at the strange sword cultivator in front of him, whether it was words or deeds, which made people scratch their heads.

Looking at his appearance, Li Bai is just a pair of twelve or thirteen-year-old boy's skin, with red lips and white teeth, a face like jade, and a little cinnabar mark on his eyebrows, like an upside-down sword, which can be said to be extremely handsome.

Especially in his pair of pupils, he does not have the sense of vicissitudes that naturally arise after practicing for thousands of years and seeing countless people, but is as clear as a child, not stained with dust, and people can't see a little distraction.

Pure Heart.

Li Bai regained his spirits, but the words changed, "I have been cultivating for two thousand years in this life, and the first thousand years have been spent on the Sword Mountain, alone, and with the sword as a companion all day long. ”

"When I was 400 years old, I sat on the ground and realized my own sword path between the mountains and broken swords, and I proved that between heaven and earth, I stepped into the realm of the gods. However, after 600 years, I once again realized the way of leisure, but I could not advance an inch, and even the demons in my heart were entangled, and the ground was drawn as a prison. ”

"On my Sword Mountain, there is a giant sword that reaches the sky, called 'Heavenly Machine', according to legend, it is left by an ancient immortal, and the monks of the Sword Mountain can go to ask once in their lives, so that the Heavenly Sword can be derived for it, seeking the ethereal 'one' in the avenue. ”

"When I went forward to ask with hope, wanting to make it break the demon barrier in my heart for me, the Heavenly Machine Sword asked me to leave the Sword Mountain alone, travel through this interface, cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and go to a dangerous and distant place, and after a thousand years, there will be an opportunity to preach. ”

"I kept walking along the way, I have been to many places, traveled countless roads, seen countless people and landscapes, and I have seen too many things on and off the mountain, but the more I am entangled in cause and effect, the more I am blinded by the Dao mind, the more I don't know what I want, the more I feel that the things on my body are so heavy, and I don't understand more and more how to have a clear conscience and be free between this world and the world. ”

Li Bai smiled miserably, "Just like at this moment after a thousand years, I don't know where I belong to, just like this deepest night, which neither belongs to yesterday nor to tomorrow." ”

"And a thousand years later, when I was sitting here, about to fight on my own, and you happened to appear, are you really not my opportunity for enlightenment?"

Zhao Shenbi stood up gently, walked outside the cave, looked at the snowy night sky, and replied, "What is leisure?"

Li Bai also stood up and stood side by side with him, his face was bitter, "A heart without a burden is a leisure, a heart without concern is a leisure, a heart without guilt is a freedom, but now after walking through the red dust, I have been contaminated with too much cause and effect and killing, but I can't do it anymore." ”

When Zhao Shenbi heard this, he laughed out loud, but in this laughter, there was no trace of admiration, only a deep regret, "Buddhism asks to let go, to break the attachment, in order to seek the six roots of purity, eliminate troubles, and become a Buddha on the ground, but do you know that if you are obsessed with breaking attachment, then it is not a kind of attachment?

Zhao Shenbi turned around, his eyes were like torches, staring at Li Bai, "And if you are obsessed with seeking to be free, how can you be considered truly at ease if you care so much about whether you are already at ease?"

A sharp warning.

Li Bai trembled, his eyes flashed with endless pain, and the outline of the avenue began to be disordered and shattered, and he muttered, "At the beginning, I was wrong......

However, Zhao Shenbi turned a blind eye and let the thousand-year-old road he sought collapse inch by inch, disappear, and the realm of cultivation was like a flood bursting the embankment, pouring for thousands of miles.

Zhao Shenbi danced with his sleeves and stirred up the snow, "It's not right or wrong, it's just that what you ask for is just a leisurely path, why not let it go and ask yourself, what is the real great freedom and freedom?"

Zhao Shenbi took a step forward and drew a circle in the snow, as if painting the ground as a prison, in it, Zhen Sheng said, "This world is such a huge cage, in the course of life, as if in the furnace, all the time suffering from its calcination and refining, no matter how you give up, the things you carry and bear on your body will only increase with the passage of time." ”

"Relatives and friends died, Taoist couples fell, the sect declined, the same door disappeared, and so on, you and I are not the immortals who cut off the seven emotions and six desires after all, all kinds of joys and sorrows in this world will quietly, sprinkle seeds on the heart, take root in the soil deep in the hearts of people, and after withering in the long time, turn into charcoal fire in this furnace, calcining you repeatedly, stinging you continuously, eternal life and eternity are like a long suffering, you want to let go, how can you let go? If you want to be free and easy, how can you be free?"

Is it true that all the sufferings, sufferings, sorrows, joys, joys, and moans of pain that you have carried in your heart, together with all the past that you have experienced that you can let go of, or that you cannot let go, are in fact together with your will, constitute who you are, as one and inseparable. ”

"What you want to let go of is actually a part of your life. ”

"In this way, why let go, why let go, why not let go?"

"The real freedom and freedom is not to be alone, not to be uncarried, not to be without care, not to make yourself like a blank piece of paper, but that you have walked through this world for thousands of years, traveled thousands of miles, and experienced all kinds of red dust, this vast sky, still can't cover your eyes, this vast land, still can't bury your heart, even if you are carrying thousands of mountains, but you can still be like nothing. In this heaven and earth, there is no place where you can't go, and there is nothing that can bind you. ”

Zhao Shenbi stopped on the edge of the circle with his feet, turned his head and asked with a smile: "If you are obsessed with stepping out of this cage of heaven and earth, even if you step out of this cage, how can you be sure, is there another huge cage outside of this cage?"

He slowly retreated and returned to the center of the circle again, "But if my heart is at ease, I let go of my attachments, I forget myself, and if there are thousands of cages in this heaven and earth, I will act as if they never existed, and how can it trap me?"

Zhao Shenbi turned around with a smile in his eyes, "To others have no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name." ”

And beneath its feet, the circle slowly dissipated.

Heaven and earth are vast.

Li Bai's eyes were full of tears, falling like rain, but on the handsome young man's face, a smile slowly appeared.

In the dim pupils, the unprecedented light flickered again, like the rising of the sun, shining on the earth.

He immediately leaned down and knelt down, and suddenly kowtowed three times towards Zhao Shenbi, "Master, the disciple has understood." ”

Above the young man's body, there began to be an extremely bright avenue of brilliance, but it was ethereal, as if it was not confined to this heaven and earth, not trapped in the monk's obsession, not turned by any will, not happy with things, not sad with himself.

The avenue is free, the avenue is free.

The cultivation that had retreated to the early stage of the Yuan Infant actually slowly rose again, and went straight to the peak of the first realm of the Enlightenment Stage, the realm of "enlightenment", and it was only a thin line away from the second realm of "Dao", and it could be broken at any time.

Zhao Shenbi smiled slightly, "I'm not your master, I'm just between the avenues, and I've gone farther than you." ”

Li Bai is still kneeling on the ground, extremely stubborn, "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and the master is the teacher." ”

Zhao Shenbi still smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Get up, my cultivation in the Far Traveling Realm still has a long way to go, to reflect the avenue of the previous life, to repair the broken Dao heart, and I can't afford to be your master." ”

However, Li Bai was unwavering, "Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple." ”

Just when Zhao Shenbi was about to open his mouth to refuse again, he was very helpless, and what he couldn't laugh or cry was that Li Bai was like a young naughty, contrary to his solemn attitude, and immediately rolled on the ground.

"I don't care, anyway, I want to worship you as a teacher today, and you can't beat me at the moment, if you don't agree, I don't want you to go!" Li Bai rolled around, shaking his head.

As soon as the words came out, the Longquan Sword immediately broke through the air, divided into a thousand, and turned into a majestic sword array shrouded in this mountain cliff.

Zhao Shenbi smiled bitterly, "Aren't you ashamed to say that you, an old monster of the Tongshen Realm who has lived for two thousand years, are now rolling around here like a secular child?"

"Compared with an old monster like you who has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, what is the difference between me and a three-year-old child?" Li Bai turned his face away and turned his back to Zhao Shenbi as if he was angry, "Besides, with a cheap apprentice like me who has been in the Divine Realm, I will come to the door for you to protect the way for you, so that you can return to the upper realm unharmed, don't you want it?"

Zhao Shenbi laughed.

Such a heart, spontaneous, outspoken, and delighted to see.

Zhao Shenbi looked at Li Bai's gaze, and a soft color gradually appeared, "Li Bai, have you really thought about it, become my apprentice, maybe one day in the future, you will take on a lot of things that I don't know if I can bear, can you bear it?"

Li Bai sat up and smiled slightly, "I am at ease, even if I carry thousands of mountains, I still feel like nothing." ”

Thousands of years later, when the Wheel Saint Lord hugged the body of the young man who died but did not fall, looking back at this scene from the long river of time, he would look up to the sky and howl, and tears would not stop, as if the heavens and the earth were crying, and the sun and the moon were reversed.

However, at the moment, Zhao Shenbi was just learning from Li Bai, with a strange smile on his face, "Okay, cheap apprentice, get out!"
