"Master, I can't sleep." Xiaode got up from the bed and said to Tang Ji.

"Why?" Tang Ji got up and asked.

"As soon as I close my eyes, I think of the scene when I fought with Sword Rain, and I desperately want to know what the realm of consciousness is, which makes me very uncomfortable."

"The scenery of Sword Peak is good, we can go out for a walk." Although Tang Ji did not practice martial arts, he also noticed that Xiao De's current state was not very good, so he said to Xiao De.

Tang Ji and his apprentice walked out of the courtyard and came to a blue lake on the top of the peak.

Just as the black clouds dispersed, the full moon was in the sky, and a full moon was reflected in the middle of the lake.

Tang Ji wanted to find another place with a quiet scenery, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Dezheng looking at the moon shadow in the middle of the lake in a daze.

At that moment, he also stopped and quietly enjoyed the scenery of the lake under the moon.

At this time, a group of monkeys suddenly came to the lake, and the monkeys looked at the reflection of the full moon in the lake and squeaked and screamed.

A slightly larger monkey, probably the Monkey King's, stood in front of the monkeys, squeaking as if giving orders to the monkeys.

Then the monkeys climbed to a huge tree by the lake and followed the branches to the top of the moon shadow in the middle of the lake.

Then, the monkeys hugged each other, one by one, and hung upside down on the surface of the lake, like a stack of arhats.

Until the Monkey King's hand could reach the surface of the lake, the Monkey King squeaked a few more times, and the monkeys stopped moving, and all of them stopped.

When the long line of monkeys stopped swaying from side to side, the monkey king reached into the lake and tried to pick up the moon, but as soon as his hand reached into the lake, the moon on the lake suddenly scattered into several pieces.

When the monkeys saw this scene, they were shocked and began to squeak non-stop, and some of the monkeys let go of their hands in fright, and the monkeys fell into the lake.

The moon shadow in the lake was shattered into countless phantoms due to the turbulence of the water waves.

Tang Ji understood the intentions of the group of monkeys, immediately shook his head and laughed, and turned his head to call Xiao De to leave.

But Xiao De looked at the scene of the monkey fishing for the moon, as if he was in a meditation, and did not hear Tang Ji's call and responded.

Tang Ji noticed that Xiao De was strange and was about to go forward to wake him up.

"This little friend is at a critical moment of enlightenment, don't disturb."

Tang Ji heard the voice, looked back, and saw an old man in white, who appeared beside him at some point, looking at Xiao De intently and smiling.

Although the old man's hair is white, his complexion is ruddy, and there are only two horizontal lines at the corners of his eyes, which makes him look particularly energetic.

"Dare to ask the seniors, what do you mean by what you just said." Tang Ji asked after bowing to the old man in white.

"This friend of yours has already shown signs of going mad, but fortunately, you came to this Sword Lake by mistake, and today happens to be the night of the full moon, and your friend is enlightening by the lake." The old man in white said inscrutablely.

"Xiaode went crazy? I implore the seniors to help save Xiaode. Hearing that Xiaode went crazy, Tang Ji hurriedly asked the master in front of him for help.

"Don't worry, your friend is really angry, he has been out of danger of going mad, and now what awaits him is a great opportunity, it depends on how far he can comprehend." The old man looked at Xiaode and said with appreciation.

"What do you think when you see the scene?" The old man looked at Tang Ji curiously, and then asked.

"The monkey fishes for the moon, which is ridiculous." Tang Ji said without thinking.

"Xiaoyou only thinks the monkey's behavior is ridiculous?" The old man showed a hint of disappointment when he heard Tang Ji's answer so plain.

"The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, but the illusion in the eyes, the obsession in the heart, all are nothing, the monkey is ignorant, confused by the obsession in the heart, forgetting that the bright moon is still hanging high in the starry sky, but to fish for the moon in the water, it is indeed ridiculous" Xiaode woke up from the meditation, heard Tang Ji's words, and said dreamily.

"Haha, the illusion in the eyes, the obsession in the heart, the subtlety of the little friend's summary." The old man in white looked at Xiaode and nodded in praise.

"Master, I understand what the realm of consciousness is." After Xiao De bowed to the old man in white, he said to Tang Ji.

"Xiaoyou may wish to tell the realm of consciousness that you have comprehended, and let the old man also refer to it." The old man in white said to Xiao De with a smile.

"When I first stayed in the mountains, the beasts of the mountains took me as a stranger and kept driving me away, but then I began to find out their habits, and knew what they liked and disliked, and imitated their habits, and gradually these beasts stopped driving me out and began to treat me as my own kind.

Although I am still me, in the eyes of the beasts, I have become their kind, and that is because my behavior conforms to the illusion in their hearts.

When I fought with Sister Xue, I felt as if I was in a snowy field, mainly because Sister Xue was cultivating the internal power of the ice attribute, and the Mo Evil Sword was also of the Yin and Cold attribute.

This chilly aura affected my five senses, hypnotizing me into thinking that I was really in the snow, like a monkey, forgetting that the moon was still hanging high in the sky and that the water was just a reflection.

In the same way when I fought with Sword Rain, he deliberately put the sword on the ground, then deepened my conscious obsession with the sword with his sword fingers, and finally hypnotized me, making me feel like I was in a sword prison. ”

"Haha, yes, yes, although shallow, it can be regarded as understanding the realm of consciousness." The old man said with a laugh.

"Please also ask the seniors to guide the maze."

"The realm of consciousness is indeed a form of hypnosis, but it does not require any suggestive action."

The next moment, the fighting energy on the old man's body exploded instantly, and Xiao De didn't have time to react before he found himself trapped in the sword prison.

"Little friend, can you find out that the old man has given you any hints related to the sword."

As soon as the white-haired old man retracted his fighting spirit, Xiao De broke away from the sword prison.

"How did the seniors do it." Xiaode asked curiously.

"The origin of martial arts is the struggle between human beings and nature for survival, but the development of martial arts is derived from the exploration of the origin of life. Where did we come from, why we were born, old, sick and died, the sages discovered the existence of the essence of life in the process of thinking.

Our birth, old age, sickness and death, survival and reproduction are inseparable from the essence of life.

The process of cultivating our internal force is to condense our essence into qi, so internal force is essentially another form of life essence.

And in the process of fighting, whether it is a battle of life and death, or to the point, it will be contaminated with the essence of life, although these essence of life can not be used by us like true qi, but it can be sent and received freely with the change of battle mood, we call it fighting qi.

As Xiaoyou said, the state of consciousness is the effect caused by hypnosis, but it is not hypnotized through suggestion, but directly affects the opponent with vindictiveness.

The simplest example, the executioner who has killed countless people, even if he does not know martial arts, will make us feel fearful of his own fighting spirit, and for some timid people, seeing the executioner is like seeing the execution ground.

This is the vindictive spirit that invisibly affects people's five senses.
