The sun and the moon are long in the mountains, everyone is learning art in Wudang, recuperating from injuries, and within a few days, Pei Yun and Pei Feng gradually mastered the Taiji sword. As long as he studies and practices hard, his martial arts are constantly improving, but Pei Yun's internal strength cultivation has not improved much. Xi Zhen also gradually recovered, and on this day he was enjoying the flowers in the backyard with his master.

"Zhen'er, during this period of recuperation, you basically recovered quickly, but are you still feeling confused?" Yin Liting waved Buddha dust and asked lightly.

Xi Zhen looked at the master, although his expression was still the same, he felt that the master was getting older and older, and the guilt in his heart couldn't help but gush out again, and said apologetically: "Master, your old man seems to be a little older than the last time I saw it. ”

Yin Liting stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Child, you must know that the rotation of heaven and earth, the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter, is really a natural principle, and there is no power to resist. Man is the essence of heaven and earth, so like all things, there is no eternity. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are all necessary stages of life. Practicing between heaven and earth, you should cultivate Haoran righteousness, and the principle of reincarnation tomorrow and earth. Look down on the threshold of life and death, so that the body and mind can be integrated into the infinite universe, do you understand?"

Xi Zhen realized something, and hurriedly thanked the master for his teachings.

Yin Liting said: "Now you are still sometimes sleepy and weak, and sometimes wake up. That's because I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation. Everybody has bottlenecks, and because everyone is different, they just have different states when they encounter bottlenecks. You are not well channeled during the bottleneck period, and you will be stronger in the battle of Poyang Lake, so your situation will be even worse. However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, you don't have to worry too much about this, if you can concentrate on breaking through the bottleneck, you will rise to a higher level, which is not the same as what you are now. ”

"And what if there is no breakthrough?"

"In case there is no breakthrough," Yin Liting paused and continued: "If there is no breakthrough." Then it is very likely that the meridians will be disordered, and it is very likely that you will go crazy at that time. If this is the case, the meridians will be destroyed at best, and the martial arts will be lost, and the life will be harmed. This is the principle of good and evil. And at this time, no one can help you except yourself, so, Zhen'er, are you ready?"

Xi Zhen asked: "What does the master mean that the apprentice is facing the entrance at this time, and he should break through his self-comprehension and retreat?"

Yin Liting nodded, smiled and said: "You are gifted and intelligent, and your understanding is extremely high, which is good, but it is precisely because of your extremely high understanding that it is possible to think crankily and think too much and fall into the devil's way." Talent and comprehension are a double-edged sword, and it may also hurt yourself, starting tomorrow, I will let the disciples arrange the small building in the back mountain, and you can realize it yourself. ”

"Then, how long will it take to achieve enlightenment retreat?"

"You still need to ask about this? At least you may have an epiphany in a day or two, or at most a few days, months, or even decades. In short, as long as you are enlightened, you will have new vitality, and you will go tomorrow. Yin Liting stopped talking, and Xi Zhen accepted it happily.

There is a Zen temple in the mountain behind Wudang Mountain, there is a bamboo forest behind the Zen temple, and there is a small building in the bamboo forest. At this time, it is the whispering season of spring, the white birds are singing in the forest, and the stream is tinkling, the breeze blows, the fragrance of the soil in the mountain forest comes with the fragrance of flowers, refreshing people's hearts, and the new bamboo shoots also begin to slowly poke their heads out, eager to absorb the aura of the mountain. Xi Zhen likes this place very much, and since he was a child, he likes to come here alone to dig bamboo shoots and go to the stream to catch fish. And now I don't come here for the pleasures of childhood. He took a deep breath and felt the essence of this heaven and earth, and as the bamboo curtain of Xiaozhu closed, it seemed that everything seemed to become quiet.

Xi Zhen lay on the bamboo bed, smelling the sandalwood all over the house, and didn't feel sleepy. This sandalwood has been processed by master craftsmen, and the materials added have the effect of calming the nerves, so Xi Zhen soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the illusion struck again, and he felt like he was in the middle of endless darkness, and he was at a loss for what to do. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared not far in front of him, and at this moment, he was like suddenly finding a floating plank in the bumpy sea. So he chased after him desperately, but who knew that the light would always keep a distance from him. I don't know how long he chased after him, but he was so tired and out of breath, and he kept thinking in his heart, is this also such a reality in this illusion? If this is reality? What is the reality of the past? Is it another illusion? If so, then am I not going from one illusion to another?

As he was thinking about it, the light suddenly became larger, illuminating the illusion as if it were day, but it was still a white light, boundless. He began to panic, there was no direction here, no boundary, what the hell was this place?

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting not far away, the sound came from far and near, he rubbed his eyes, and vaguely saw a black and a white two people fighting. He took a closer look, these two people were dressed and looked like the two ghosts of the Western Regions, but the two ghosts of the Western Regions showed a fierce light on their faces, and these two people, the white one was like a fairy wind bone, and the black one was like a hellish evil god.

The black man beckoned to be dangerous, and the white one was at the mercy of the white, as if he wanted to take his life, and said viciously as he made a move: "Since my lord is dead, everything here will die." ”

The white man seemed to be able to defuse the black man's moves every time, and said with a smile: "In this case, you are also a survivor now, so don't you yourself have to die?

The black man said: "The principles of heaven are clear, the dead must be reincarnated, if only life is not death, then this vast universe, isn't it a violation of the cycle of heavenly principles?" Xi Zhende couldn't help but think in his heart: Indeed, if there is no death, only life, isn't the world very terrifying?

The white man replied again: "If all the people in this universe die as you wish, what is the use of that piece of dead air? If there is no life, how can there be a cycle of heavenly principles?"

Thinking of this, Xi Zhen couldn't help but shout: "That being the case, then why don't life and death be the same, and life and death exist with each other?"

When the black and white heard this, they looked at Xi Zhen and said angrily: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Xi Zhen jumped, and Fang dodged the attacking palms, never thinking that his feet would come one after another. Xi Zhen was embarrassed to dodge, and said: "Two Immortal Venerables, I don't know why, the juniors just see that what the two of them say is reasonable, so the juniors feel that if life and death can coexist, then the cycle of heavenly reason can really exist." ”

The two of them didn't care, one move after another, like a surging river, endlessly. Xi Zhen was embarrassed at this time, but he couldn't see it, and after a while, he had been hit many times on his body, and the pain was unbearable. This is Xi Zhen completely angry, pointing at the black and white two: "I am kind enough to mediate between the two of you, but you two don't know what to do, do you really think I don't dare to fight back?"

The black man laughed wildly and said, "The two of us are arguing, what does it matter to you ordinary people? If you like to meddle so much, then I will solve you first." After saying that, the palm wind was like thunder, as fast as lightning, and he struck out a few palms in succession, and the palms hit the vital point, like Mount Tai pressing the top. At this moment, the white man smiled, and hurriedly intercepted the black man's trick and said, "Don't let it die, I want to make it live." ”

In this way, the three of them fought as a group, and they could not be separated. Xi Zhen often uses old moves in the melee, which is dwarfed by the two. But fortunately, he has a very high level of understanding, and he actually learns and sells in the melee, but he can also keep himself safe.

I don't know how long it took for Xi Zhen to suddenly get angry and look up to the sky and roar. The black and white duo actually stopped hearing the whistling and looked at him in a daze. Xi Zhen was also blindsided all of a sudden, so he had to say: "Listen to me, if the juniors are not right, how about the two of you quarrel again?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, as if acquiescing, Xi Zhen said: "In this life, all things will be carried and continued, and death will make all things have a mission and an end." If there is life and no death, the wicked will live forever between heaven and earth, as if it is so, it is filthy and the living are ashamed. If there is death and no life, and all things will eventually come to an end, so that there is only a vast expanse between heaven and earth, and there is no life, then what is the use of this universe? The best way is to coexist with life and death, and all things have a beginning and an end.

The black and white people were suddenly shocked, and they each thought about it for a long time, and suddenly looked at each other and said with a smile: "Ordinary people also have righteousness, and the cycle of heaven is exactly this principle." He said to Xi Zhen in unison: "Mortal boy, what you said is very true, so you can go." After speaking, the two of them waved their hands, and Xi Zhen was caught off guard, and was swept away by the palm wind like a kite with a broken line.
