Chapter 229: Forgetting the Way
This country is called the State of Zhao.
There is a person named Ji Feixiong in Mowen County, Zhao State, who has been obedient and flamboyant since he was a child, loves archery, and is determined to become the world's number one marksman.
He does have a talent in this area, at the age of ten, he can accurately pull the big bow, and at the age of fifteen, he can accurately shoot the bull's-eye.
Now that Ji Feixiong has reached the age of twenty, he feels that if he wants to improve his archery skills, it is useless to rely on his own talent alone.
Because there are too many talented people since ancient times, but no one can successfully make a name for themselves with talent alone.
He needs to have a qualified master with more archery experience than him to teach him in order to live up to his talent.
The so-called Maxima needs Bole to dig.
He thinks that he needs such a Bole master in order to stimulate his true potential and become the number one archer in the world.
After thinking about it, I inquired in many ways.
Ji Feixiong finally found a candidate who was enough to be his master, that is, Lu Ya, the world's number one archer in the world who was famous in Zhao Kingdom.
It is said that he recruited disciples in Yandang Mountain.
So Ji Feixiong traveled thousands of miles, came to Lu Ya's house, and shouted outside the door, "Boy Ji Feixiong, please worship Mr. Lu as a teacher." ”
After a while, the door opened, and Lu Ya walked out.
When Ji Feixiong saw the middle-aged man in a black robe who came out, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, stunned, and couldn't speak for a long time.
All the words he had prepared were forgotten in the back of his mind.
"Are you going to worship me as a teacher?" Lu Ya asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Ji Feixiong came to his senses and said, "I don't know why, when I see your appearance, I feel very kind, but I don't know where I've seen it, I just feel very kind." ”
Lu Ya said: "It's very simple to worship me as a teacher, and I have accepted a lot of apprentices. ”
Ji Feixiong was overjoyed and kowtowed.
And after getting started, he didn't expect that this teacher didn't let him stay in the house at all, but just told him:
"If you want to learn the world's first archery technique, you need to pass the first level first, which is called 'no instant', because archery has the highest requirements for eyesight, and the so-called 'not instantaneous' is not blinking."
"Left Biography" has: Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk flourished on the left and did not look instantaneous.
"When you can do 'not instant', that is, without blinking your eyes, come to me again, and I will teach you the next step."
Ji Feixiong remembered his master's orders.
He didn't doubt the training Lu Ya had arranged for him at all, because he was a good archery himself and understood the importance of not blinking.
So he returned home after a long journey.
Start thinking about how to train yourself not to blink.
After a few days, he saw his wife weaving with a loom in the house, and the pedals under her feet moved regularly with the movement of the loom.
He rolled over into the loom beneath his wife's lap and lay on his back, looking at the pedals.
The wife watched her husband lie at her feet, looking up at herself, her eyes wide. Feeling extremely shy, he said angrily: "What are you doing, hurry up." ”
Ji Feixiong shouted: "You don't care about me, I'm cultivating, you continue to weave, don't stop." ”
Although the wife was very reluctant and felt that her husband's request and angle were awkward, she did not dare to refuse because of her husband's majesty.
In this way, Ji Feixiong began to practice the technique of "not instantaneous" in this funny and ridiculous way.
This was five years under the loom, and after five years, he had practiced to the point where the scraper of the loom would not blink his eyelashes.
At this time, he finally crawled out from under the loom.
Then he began the test, let fasten himself to the wall with a sharp awl, pierced his eyelids, punctured the eyelids, and did not blink his eyes.
After testing, he found that he was standing by the fire, and a spark flew towards his eyes, without blinking.
He even felt like he had forgotten how to control the opening and closing of his eyelids.
As a result, when he slept, his eyes were wide open, and he fell into a deep sleep with his eyes open, and later, when he woke up one morning, he found that his eyelids were woven by a spider with a thin web, and he did not even move his eyelids and blinked.
At this time, he was finally sure that he had completely cultivated to the "Instantaneous Gong".
Then he excitedly went to Yandang Mountain to find his teacher Lu Ya:
"Teacher, I'm not practicing in an instant."
Lu Ya came to him and said with a smile: "Congratulations, but not instantaneous is only the first step, the eyes of a marksman not only need not to be instantaneous, but also need the best eyesight, every marksman, must obtain his own eyesight, cultivate to 'see the subtle knowledge', that is, when you can see very small things very big, you can be considered to have completed the second step, and then you will come to me again." ”
Ji Feixiong nodded deeply, he was already completely convinced of Lu Ya's teaching methods.
When he got home again, he rummaged through the house, unpacked the mattress and looked for clothes, and then found a louse, tied it up with his own hair, and hung it by the window.
And then he did nothing every day, and just stared at the lice every day.
For the first few days, this lice was always a louse, and a month later, he was still a louse, but after half a year, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or his own hallucination, he felt that the lice seemed to have grown a little bigger.
Another year passed, and the lice grew a little bigger, as big as a baby silkworm.
Time flies, and he has replaced dozens of lice.
And the lice became bigger and bigger in his eyes, and at the same time, he felt that everything else in his vision had also changed, the spring sun was as big as summer, and the feathers of the geese flying through the sky were clearly visible.
Five years later.
Under the constant changes of time, after Ji Feixiong realized it, he found that the lice hanging on his hair were actually as big as an elephant.
Every texture on his body, the joints, was so huge.
"My way is done!"
Ji Feixiong was overjoyed, he walked outside the door, and then found that under his own concentration.
The horses in the family are as strong as mountains, pigs are as big as hills, and chickens are like a city tower, which is extremely majestic.
He stood a hundred paces away, his bow and arrows.
An arrow passed through the heart of the lice, and the hair was not broken at all!
He excitedly went to Yandang Mountain again and found Lu Ya.
Lu Ya nodded and smiled: "Fang has started." ”
So he began to teach Ji Feixiong some archery skills, because of ten years of hard work, Ji Feixiong learned all the archery skills in one day.
He plucked arrows and catapulted at will, and he could already shoot a hundred willow leaves fluttering in the wind.
A hundred arrows in a row, each arrow must hit the tail of the previous arrow, "the arrows belong to each other, the hair is the same", because the arrows in the back must be shot into the butt of the arrow in front, so there will be no arrows falling to the ground, and after a hundred arrows are shot, all the arrows are connected like a straight rope, which extends to the front of Ji Feixiong.
Lu Ya praised him.
Excited, he went home and told his wife about it.
However, his wife complained that he had not been home for so long, quarreled with him, and the two quarreled, Ji Feixiong impatiently shot an arrow out of his hand, and when the arrow hit the string, he realized how he could shoot his wife, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, so the arrow was still shot, but it shot off the three eyelashes on his wife's eyelids.
And his wife didn't know it, but continued to make noise, not knowing that three of her eyelashes had fallen out, and she had never seen her husband make a bow and arrow.
This shows that Ji Feixiong's bow and arrow skills have reached an incomparably magical and superb realm.
He was so confident that he began to hunt the world.
Shoot the bull, shoot the rhino, shoot the tiger, shoot the nine-headed bird......
In less than a year, Ji Feixiong's fame has already filled this ancient Zhao Kingdom, and everyone calls him the number one archer in the world, and he has surpassed Lu Ya.
Hearing the title of the world's number one archer, Ji Feixiong knew it.
Everything about myself is taught by the teacher.
Whether it surpassed the teacher or not, all this is not yet known.
Thereupon.
He wanted to compare with the teacher to see if he had surpassed Teacher Lu Ya now.
Ji Feixiong came to Yandang Mountain again.
It's going to be a test with Lu Ya.
Lu Ya smiled and sighed: "You haven't fully learned my things, even if you compete with me, how can you win me?" ”
Ji Feixiong asked, "What else did the teacher not teach me?" ”
Lu Ya said: "That's what I really do, compared to it, what you learn is all introductory, child's play-like skills." ”
Ji Feixiong was shocked.
I have been honing so hard for ten years and enduring what ordinary people can't do, so I have practiced to the point where I am today, and it is still just a child's play.
He doesn't believe in evil, so he has to compete with Lu Ya.
"Okay, then you come with me."
Lu Ya said, turned his head and walked towards Yandang Mountain, after arriving at the mountain.
Ji Feixiong couldn't wait to say, "Please compare the teacher with me." ”
Lu Ya took a look at it and smiled slightly: "Then you come and stand here and shoot down a wild goose overhead." ”
As he spoke, he kicked a stone under his feet to the edge of the cliff, so that it was half suspended in the air and half stayed on the cliff face, just to stabilize its body and not fall.
But it is swaying, and a gust of wind blowing will make this stone shake.
Ji Feixiong looked at this stone that was about to fall off the cliff at any time, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's so dangerous, how can it be done." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Ya standing on the stone.
Steady as Mount Tai.
"Absolutely."
Said and retreated.
Ji Feixiong plucked up his courage and also stood up.
But he had just stood up.
I felt the stone shaking.
Unsteady on the body.
When I looked down, I saw a cliff below.
Then the wind from the top of the mountain in all directions blew towards him, and all of a sudden his back was wet with sweat, his scalp was numb, and the six gods had no master.
"Let's shoot arrows!"
He heard Lu Ya's voice.
But at this time, Ji Feixiong was already six gods and no master, and with the shaking of the stone, his heart was panicked to the sky, where could he still raise his bow and arrow.
It only took a breath to stand up, and he felt that the stone was unstable, and he quickly jumped down, but his heartbeat had not slowed down, and he was beating wildly.
"Looks like you can't compare with me."
陆雅 says:
"Then let's take a look at my archery skills."
Ji Feixiong listened, and hurriedly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand.
Lu Ya waved his hand.
"No, I don't."
Ji Feixiong was stunned: "You don't need a bow and arrow, how do you shoot it?" ”
"This is what you haven't learned yet, all you have mastered is "shooting of arrows", that is, you still need to use bows and arrows, real shooting, shooting without shooting, even if you don't have a bow and arrows, you can shoot! Lu Ya said with a smile.
Ji Feixiong didn't quite understand: "No bow and arrow, no shooting, what does this mean?" I'd like to see it. ”
At this time, there was an eagle flying above the heads of the two people, and it was hovering gracefully in the air thousands of feet, the small one was like a sesame seed.
I saw Lu Ya looking up at him.
Bow and arrow.
But he had no bow in his hand, no arrows in his hand.
Other words.
He just made a gesture of shooting an arrow with his bow, as if an invisible arrow had landed on top of an invisible bow.
Collapse!
But Ji Feixiong heard the sound of breaking the air.
Look again!
The eagle hovering high in the sky just stood tall and fell like a stone from the sky.
Ji Fei Bear is completely petrified.
He's finally seen what true archery is!
"I beg the teacher to teach me!!"
He knelt in front of Lu Ya and kept kowtowing: "How can I do what you do, don't shoot!" ”
"To do nothing, to say nothing, to shoot not to shoot, to forget the way." Lu Ya looked at him and said, "You need to forget all the skills you have learned in order to reach a new realm. ”
Ji Feixiong asked, "But if you need to forget everything, why do you want to teach me this?" ”
Lu Ya said: "This is the triple realm of enlightenment, seeing the mountain is a mountain, seeing the mountain is not a mountain, seeing the mountain is still a mountain, if you have never picked it up, how to put it down, if you don't remember, how to forget, only pick it up, you can put it down, only if you have experienced seeing the mountain is not a mountain, you can realize that the mountain is still a mountain, the first realm is a layman, the second realm is a master, and the third realm is an immortal." ”
"You have the best chance of becoming an immortal with me in this life."
Ji Feixiong said: "I understand. ”
Lu Ya said: "Practice again, when the time comes, you will know me." ”
In this way, Ji Feixiong turned back home from Lu Ya's residence.
He memorized the sixteen-character mantra of "do nothing, never speak, never shoot, and forget the way", and after returning home, he stayed at home every day.
That's nine years.
Nine years later, when someone saw Ji Feixiong again, he had completely lost his attitude as a marksman and had become a farmer.
When people saw his temperament, they all felt a sense of returning to the basics.
Praise him is now undoubtedly the number one master in the world.
He was invited to show off his skills.
However, he found that Ji Feixiong didn't even have a bow on his body.
Ji Feixiong smiled slightly and didn't answer, and said, "If you don't shoot, you can't work hard." ”
Someone suddenly realized and asked him, "You have now reached the highest level." ”
Ji Feixiong shook his head and said, "No." ”
He did reach the realm of not shooting, but because of this, he discovered the greater place of the sixteen-character mantra, not to do anything, not to speak, not to shoot, and to forget the way.
"Dao, I haven't entered the Dao yet!"
He didn't forget clean enough.
