Xin Deng said: "All knowledge acquisition is irreversible, and the same is true in martial arts. ”

"It is irreversible to have crossed that step from the realm of heaven and man, and to reach the realm of the law phase."

"So you asked me to remember how I got there, and I can't remember it."

"This has become a part of me, or a part of my martial arts, a part of the Dharma, and it is inseparable after all."

Fang Ze listened thoughtfully.

Xin Deng smiled, and said to Fang Ze: "Just now, when Master Fang mentioned your location, it seems that he can see that Lao Wei is on the other side, like the direction of a candle flame. ”

"When you say that, I know that Master Fang has already obtained everything by my side, and the old man has nothing to teach Master Fang."

"No one has ever been able to take that step by relying on external objects, and even if they go out, there will be many hidden dangers."

"It's just that existence itself is like a lamp lighting up a person."

"Master Fang actually saw this lamp, then he wouldn't forget whether I was by my side or not, and he had already completed everything I could guide."

"Master Fang continues to be by the old man's side, and he can't learn more."

Fang Ze nodded.

That's how he feels, too.

When he saw the kind of light that could only be sensed in the depths of his soul or by his soul, it was true that around the heart lamp, there could only be an accumulation of quantity, and there was no qualitative change.

Fang Ze said: "I feel that it is still difficult to take that half a step now, I still need more guidance from the soul, and this step is not purely by will." ”

"It's like people can't suffocate themselves to death by holding their breath, I'm afraid that if I want to force a breakthrough and jump out of this step, if the accumulation is not enough, I still can't jump through after all."

"It's like the Yuwen Xiu of the Yuwen family, he can't jump over this hurdle for thirty years, I finally understand why he can't jump over, that is, he has neither that light nor that lamp."

Xin Deng nodded and said, "Although this statement is a bit straightforward, what you said is true. ”

Fang Ze said: "What I lack now is some accumulation, I don't know if the master has any suggestions that can help me practice faster, if there is, please ask the master to make it clear." ”

After hearing this, Xin Deng thought for a moment and said: "Martial arts, although cultivation is the right path, just like Buddhism, there is also a difference between epiphany and gradual enlightenment. ”

"If it were someone else, Lao Wei really wouldn't dare to give such a guarantee."

"But during the time I spent with the donor, I felt that the donor's heart seemed to be very Buddha-nature, and his cultivation was very different from others."

"The old man is also very surprised by this, so there is a path that may not be useful to others, but it may be a shortcut to the other party's benefactor."

"And it's one of the few real shortcuts, not the other way around."

"Oh, what way is it?" Fang Ze asked.

Xin Deng thought for a moment and said, "The last time Master Fang Shi explored the matter of the inner and outer demons of the Glass Law Realm, I have been investigating this matter. ”

"At the same time, Lao Wei is also willing to take on this responsibility, it was Shaolin who brought this outer demon to Tianzhou."

"I informed several other fellow Daoists of the Dharma Realm in Tianzhou about this, and among them, the Dao Sect's Zhengyi Chengyang Dao Master praised you."

"It's more appreciative of what you do and what you're doing, and I have said a few more words related to you."

"The shortcut that the old man said is to find the donor to meet more people at the Faxiang level."

"For example, Chengyang Dao Chief, and then like how to get along with the old man."

"In this way, we can quickly accumulate and make up for the hidden dangers and deficiencies left by the rapid improvement of our own strength."

"If Master Fang is interested, then the old man is willing to repair a book for you and give it to the Chengyang Daoist of Zhengyi."

"Daoist Chengyang admires you quite a lot, plus Lao Wei's letter, let's see if Daoist Chengyang is willing to communicate with you?"

Fang Ze's heart moved when he heard this, and he thought: "It seems that the Heart Lantern Master still recognizes me, this is a letter of introduction, and it can be regarded as an endorsement for me." ”

"The face of the master of the heart lamp, I think that the head of Chengyang Dao will not refute it."

"And I don't know where I'm doing well, so that Chengyang Daoist can appreciate it."

At the same time, Fang Ze also felt that he seemed to be integrated into the circle of the level of the Faxiang master that Lan Bining had mentioned.

Fang Ze nodded and said, "Then thank you Master, I'm not hypocritical, this thing is really what I need." ”

Xin Deng smiled calmly and said, "In every generation of rivers and lakes, there must always be new people. ”

"You have that potential, and I know something about you."

"Master Fang does have some shining points."

"Lao Wei hopes that Fang Shizhu can continue to uphold his own path, and don't let his heart be dusted."

"Maybe the path of clarity is the path that finally reaches the other side of desire."

Fang Ze felt that what the heart lamp said also seemed to mean something, but the heart lamp was also lit, and said, "There is no reason to continue here." ”

After Fang Ze talked to Xin Deng, Xin Deng wrote a letter and handed it to Fang Ze.

After Fang Ze thanked him, the heart lamp still had something to deal with, and Fang Ze said goodbye first.

On the way out of the temple, I met the monk Kongjing, said hello, and chatted for a while.

Fang Ze and Kong Jing talked for a while, and they happened to talk about it.

Kongjing pays special attention to martial artists at the level of the Heavenly and Human Mirror, especially the martial artists related to Buddhism and Taoism, and especially some geniuses.

He mentioned: "Recently, there has been a genius in the Qingwei faction, and it seems that the momentum is very strong. ”

Fang Ze asked, "Which genius?" ”

"His name is Chu Huaisha, his father is the Panyu county guard of Chu Ting, this person has been to Shaolin in the exchange of Buddhism and Taoism, I still have an impression of it, quite a tranquil heart, is a good person." Kongjing said.

Although Kongjing is a monk, his personality is more like a martial artist, and sometimes he does not hide his views on others, but he feels a little temperamental in this regard, and he doesn't know why, but later he entered the Shaolin Temple and became a great monk.

"Oh, it's him." After Fang Ze heard this, he felt a little surprised.

"Do you know this Chu Shishi?" Kong Jing asked.

Fang Ze nodded and said, "Indeed, he is a friend I have known for several years. ”

After hearing this, Kongjing couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's really like things gather and people are grouped." Now I think that you and Master Chu can become friends, it is not an accident. ”

"Oh, by the way, if you go to Zhengyi, then you may just meet your friend, they are holding a grand ceremony now, and they are in the Chu Court where Zhengyi is located, Chu Huaisha will definitely go as a genius disciple of the Qingwei Sect." Hearing that his friend was practicing in the Daomen, and the progress was good, Fang Ze was also quite pleased.

He said goodbye to the emptiness and went to Zhengyi.

is in Chu Ting, and its head is Chengyang Daochang.
