Chapter 45: The Road to Another World

The Master said that people cannot follow the same path

But how can seemingly the same path go to different places?

The scholar couldn't help Su Yan, he had to rely on himself.

......

Su Yan ignored these questions for the time being.

It doesn't matter what path it goes first.

So, he began to practice again.

......

Step 1: Concentration:

Condensation is the condensation of one's own divine consciousness, which is the higher level of consciousness.

Consciousness is a very subtle thing, as if everyone has it, and it seems that it does not exist.

Consciousness does not mean that you feel someone approaching you in the dark, that is not consciousness, it is in a relatively quiet environment that the body judges by the flow of the surrounding environment, such as the flow of air, such as the rise in temperature.

Consciousness does not mean that you deliberately do something, that is called having a mind.

Because consciousness is not mind.

No one can describe what consciousness is, so when people magically do something that they are not normally capable of doing, they call it unconscious.

For example, a fifty-year-old woman holds a galloping horse because there is her favorite little grandson in front of the horse.

Another example is that if you are walking on the road and a rock falls down in the air high above you, some people will dodge it, and some people will of course be hit.

Or maybe you look down on a clear night in an empty field and think about things, and without any warning, you look up just in time to see a meteor in the night sky.

Of course, more often than not, this is a coincidence, and some people call it the arrangement of fate.

Of course, practitioners will not believe that this is a coincidence, nor will they admit that it is an arrangement of fate. Therefore, some people think that there should be another imaginary world, in which there is a similar self, and the other self sees what the self does not see in this world or sees it first, so it communicates to the real self in an incomprehensible way through some kind of connection in the dark and responds.

Everyone has the same self watching themselves in another world, looking at what they can't see in reality.

This is the general perception in the spiritual world.

The Master herded the green ox and became enlightened because he had inadvertently opened up the connection between the two worlds, or strengthened the channel between the two worlds.

This is the path of monasticism, the passage connecting the two worlds.

This is the practice, the journey from one world to another.

Keep correcting your direction.

However, Daomen thinks that the other world is Haotian's divine kingdom, and it is not another self.

In the other world, it is Haotian, and those magical powers are all given by Haotian.

Therefore, the Dao Gate is called the Dao, and the road to heaven is built to the kingdom of God.

Buddhism believes that the other world is the pure land of the Buddha, and those miraculous powers are the compassion of the Buddha.

Therefore, Buddhism is also called cultivating Buddha, cultivating oneself into the appearance of a Buddha.

Those who are considered to be the reincarnations of the Buddha are called Buddhas, such as Master Huilian, who has been to the peach forest.

With the exception of the academy, both the Taoist and Buddhist sects believe that their ideas are correct and unique.

As for the seowon, although it has formed its own mainstream ideas, it has also been on the road of exploration. The seowon has its own understanding, but does not think that its own understanding is the only correct answer, so the seowon is open-minded.

These are the three known systems of practice:

With the academy as the head of the concept of another world of another self, you don't need to sincerely believe in Haotian, nor do you need to worship the Buddha wholeheartedly, you have to believe in yourself.

People-oriented is the way of the college.

This is just the concept of the academy at this stage, and it is still in the process of self-denial and revision, even if the master is not there.

This is the great place of the academy.

As for the one who enlightened the Great River and Xue Guangming who realized the Dao with a sword, and even the legendary enlightenment of Master Lu was an extension of the concept of the academy.

This is the hundred schools of the academy, and it is also the difference between the academy and the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect.

The Dao Gate represents the other direction.

Buddhism is another system.

However, the three major systems have produced a lot of strong people, and they seem to be able to prove their correctness.

No one can explain this phenomenon and can only choose their own path according to their own understanding.

As for how to condense it, it is a problem that has not been solved by the three major systems. Including those who are already great cultivators, it seems that they can sense the vitality of heaven and earth for some reason.

Inexplicably, I sensed my consciousness during meditation.

Including the master and the master at first, they all inexplicably looked at the heavens and the earth and realized the Tao, and people can only attribute it to whether a person has the talent to cultivate the Tao or not.

People call contemplation also called enlightenment, which means that they want to see the passage of another world, but it is not the avenue of heaven and earth that people often say, which is the cultivation of the five realms after crossing the contemplation, entering the subtlety, seeing the sea, standing a mountain, and knowing fate.

That is the way of attaining the Tao, the avenue of heaven and earth, not the enlightenment.

This knowledge Su Yan had studied in Taolin before, and the academy also had related books.

Su Yan himself was also inexplicable and enlightened in the peach forest.

He's already very qualified.

Ye Xiaoyu had said that Su Yan was the most talented person he had ever seen.

He entered the peach forest at the age of five, and at the age of six, he condensed and realized the Tao, which alone is unprecedented.

Then he soared all the way, and at the age of fifteen he became the youngest confidant in the whole world.

Mu Qing didn't know his fate at that time, but it was just because Su Yan was in the peach forest, and no one in the world knew about it.

This has never happened since the history of human practice.

When he was fifteen years old, the master was still herding cattle and looking at the sky.

Of course, this does not mean that his qualifications necessarily surpass that of the master, but at least he is the youngest confidant in the world.

However, it was as if fate had arranged everything for him a long time ago, and after knowing his fate, his body began to have problems, and the sea of qi and snow mountains were hidden and sometimes revealed, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy.

It's going to be fatal.

As a result, his cultivation was sometimes high and sometimes low.

This is not a regression of the realm, it is the ups and downs of cultivation, and this is also something that people have never practiced before, just like the talent of their cultivation.

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't find out the reason, couldn't think of a way, and Caidie and Chu Xiangxiang were also at a loss for it.

Taolin can't think of a way, so the only person in the whole world who can come up with a way is the master, and the master is not obvious, but the academy is still there, so Su Yan went to the academy.

The scholar proposed a solution that was not a solution.

Anyone can think of this solution, but no one can do it.

But Su Yan wanted to try, maybe it was his self in another world who gave him inspiration, maybe he could do it.

......

Su Yan stayed in the backyard.

He reads the books in the backyard. He recalled the experience of practicing in the peach forest and the knowledge he learned in the front yard, when Sansan was forced by the gentleman to study, he also went to audit, and Sansan realized that Su Yan was no worse than him, a peerless genius who was known as unforgettable, except that the speed of reading was slower, but the degree of understanding was much more thorough than him.

Originally, I thought that Su Yan was in the backyard where he was tired of staying in the front yard, but now Sansan believes that Su Yan is the front yard has listened to all the lessons.

Looking at Su Yan who was standing next to the blacksmith's stove, Sansan was scolding him hatefully at his back that he was not human.

Soon the blacksmith also discovered that Su Yan was not human.

"Senior brother", Su Yan stood next to the stove and watched the blacksmith strike iron.

The blacksmith stopped striking the hammer in his hand and looked up at him.

"Why do you want to burn the iron first?"

Idiot question.

The blacksmith patiently explained: "Because the iron will become soft when it is red, and it can only be forged when it becomes soft." ”

Su Yan actually didn't mean to ask: "Why does iron become soft when it burns red?" ”

Well, it's still very gratifying to look at the studious Su Yan blacksmith. He simply put down the hammer in his hand and brought two stools for Su Yan to sit down.

He was ready to give Su Yan a lesson.

"Iron is made from iron ore, right?" he asked Su Yan, deciding to start with the basics.

Nodding, Su Yan still knows this.

"Let's talk about ironmaking first," said the blacksmith who has been striking iron all his life, and is definitely the most authoritative expert: "Iron ore contains iron and other materials, and the process of melting the ore at high temperature is to remove impurities from the iron. Waving his hand to interrupt Su Yan's question, "Then the process of our forging is to further squeeze out the impurities in the iron." ”

In this way, a piece of iron is made up of countless smaller pieces of iron that we cannot see with our naked eyes. There are gaps in the middle, and other impurities entrained in the process are formed. The blacksmith is really not a very qualified teacher, and the order is a little reversed: "The process of our forging is to discharge countless tiny pieces of iron to make each small piece of iron closer to each other after expelling impurities, so a good piece of iron must be forged countless times before it can become as tight as possible, which is a hundred refining steel." “

The gentleman's broad, straight iron sword, the blacksmith spent three years forging it, and it didn't take much time to trim and shape it, because the shape was so simple that it didn't even open the blade.

The look that the gentleman requested, the blacksmith sighed a lot for it.

"Senior brother, you haven't said why the iron is soft when it burns red," Su Yan believes in studiousness.

The blacksmith's enthusiasm for thinking that Su Yan was going to learn the blacksmith's trade from him was suddenly extinguished. "Because the heat makes those tiny pieces of iron bigger and expand, the gap between them increases correspondingly, and the structure is not so tight. So," the blacksmith said, "the iron became soft." ”

Su Yan understood: "Isn't it like if we put a group of people together, and then use fire to burn them, people will run away?"

In this figurative image, the blacksmith nodded, and it seemed that the junior brother still had some understanding.

Su Yan stood up, and the blacksmith continued to start striking iron.

Although he had the intention to ask Su Yan to learn the craft of a blacksmith, he was not in a hurry.

Su Yan looked at the basin of water used by the blacksmith to quench the fire by the fire, and hesitated to walk to the pond.

Dangdangdang...... The sound of the hammer striking the iron is melodious and rhythmic, and the blacksmith is immersed in this beautiful sound.

There was a sound of "Wow", and a puff of green smoke floated up, and then the blacksmith's angry shout sounded:

"What are you doing?"

Su Yan stood stupidly beside him with an empty basin of water, touched his head and said, "I want to see if water can make iron soft." ”

Can the water in the pond wet and soften the iron?

"Idiot......" the blacksmith cursed inwardly.

Su Yan walked away with the empty basin, thinking as he walked: It doesn't make sense.

An even bolder idea popped up in my head.

He's going to do a great experiment.

......

Soon, the people in the backyard were all called to the yard by Su Yan and stood tightly in a ball.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, the scholar is the tallest, and the gentleman's tall ancient crown just tops his forehead.

Red makeup, Xia Zhi, and Tang Guoer stood next to each other and held hands tightly.

Su Yan is in trouble, and all sides support.

When everyone stood up according to Su Yan's request, held his consciousness and entered a meditative state, he disappeared again.

This is a seowon, so you don't have to worry about safety.

Where did Su Yan go?

Su Yan is still by the pond.

Looking at the back of Su Yan, who had lifted a big poke of water, the big white goose shook his head in confusion, and continued to play with the red carp in the pond.

This human is a little incomprehensible.

The same thing and the same approach can sometimes lead to different results, such as now.

As Su Yan splashed the water in the bucket on the people in the backyard, this result was immediately manifested.

Those who meditate in meditation are suddenly released from their state.

Then he scattered like a frightened bird, stomping his feet and shaking the water droplets on his clothes and hair looking at Su Yan who was carrying a big empty bucket.

What kind of trouble is this? Could it be that today is the Songkran Festival on the mainland?

Su Yan was very satisfied, and said with a stupid smile: "It turns out to be feasible." ”

The gentleman who was in the deepest meditative state almost went mad.
