Chapter 37: The Void

Since Xi Zhen roughly guessed the mystery of Cixi Yunshan Diagram, he felt more and more of a sense of crisis: with his current martial arts cultivation, defeating Qiu Lie and Dao Yan would inevitably fight to the death. However, there are too many unknown enemies, and the most feared one is still the eunuch. Although He Xiong is in the light, and the elder brother is in the dark to protect and assist him, but the power of others is the power of others after all. If things are urgent, how can distant water quench the thirst of the near? Every time he thinks of this, the idea of pursuing the realm of martial arts gradually arises in his heart.

The master once told him that if there are martial arts moves, there must be flaws. But if you fight with the market, it will be even more troublesome. The reason for this is that there is no rule in the fight between the people in the market, and they can win the battle. And people who study martial arts often pursue the perfection of one move and one style and ignore the flaws in the moves themselves. The principle of all things is the deep meaning. Therefore, it is an eternal truth that there is no trick to win. However, in order to achieve the realm of no tricks and no tricks, you need to completely break the martial arts you have learned, so there are few people in the world who can reach this realm.

Secondly, the sword is the gentleman among a hundred weapons, therefore, the sword also has its own aura. The aura of the sword is perfectly combined with the spirit of the person who makes the sword, and only then can there be a realm of unity between the sword and the sword.

Moreover, those who practice martial arts pursue the vast energy of the universe. This is the way to practice qi: if the dantian is empty, it is the nothingness of the mind, and the nothingness of the universe will have endless energy.

At this time, Xi Zhen had already fallen into deep contemplation. At this time, his consciousness seemed to be wandering around, feeling the infinity of heaven and earth, and the endless intermingling of night and light. He tried to grab the spirit-like things, but he couldn't. He was anxious, not knowing when and where the infinite would end, so he ran desperately towards a little firefly in the distance.

"Where is this? Is this real? Why is it so illusory?" Xi Zhen kept asking, and shouted in a tearing voice to this endless void. However, nothing happened, not even an echo. Xi Zhen was completely panicked, and he began to feel scared. He thought of the master, and the image of the master appeared in front of him, he thought of the senior brother, and his senior brother also appeared, and he thought of Guan Qing, and Guan Qing also appeared in front of him.

"Master, where is this?" he kept asking the "master" in front of him like a child, but the "master" just looked at him seriously. "Sister Qing, where have you been? Do you know that I've been thinking about you. "Guan Qing" didn't respond, just a sad look and then turned to a reluctant smile. He thought about all the people, and all the people immediately appeared in front of him, but the people in front of him did not give him any reaction. Xi Zhen began to panic, he kept struggling, hoping to touch the person in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it.

Finally, he was tired, exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't know what was on the ground, he just threw himself to the ground heavily, dazed. After a while, he began to slowly feel a feeling of comfort. The aura close to the ground gradually spreads from the back, and then wanders around the limbs, which is both intimate and comfortable. He constantly relaxes himself and allows himself to accept the constant flow of aura in the most comfortable way.

However, just as his body moved, a hand suddenly grabbed the air. He panicked, and the little fireflies in the distance were extinguished, and there was only darkness around him, endless darkness. When he tried to get up and feel for it, the soles of his feet slipped and he fell suddenly. There was no point of focus under him, and there was endless darkness in front of him. He struggled with his hands and feet, but he couldn't touch anything. And this cliff seems to be endless. Finally, he waved his hand vigorously, and one hand seemed to hit something, and he sat up in fright.

When he opened his eyes, He Xiongyou, who was in front of him, had a red handprint on his face, looked at Xi Zhen innocently and said, "You finally woke up." Just now, Miss Yu Ying came to the room to look for you, and found you lying still, thinking you were dead. I thought something was wrong with you, but I didn't expect your kid to be dead, and you still have a lot of energy in your hands. Are you two designing for me to come and tease me?" Yu Ying, who was behind He Xiong, also looked at Xi Zhen nervously, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Xi, you finally woke up, what happened to you just now?" scared me to death. ”

Xi Zhen's face was full of guilt, and he quickly apologized, and told He Xiong everything he saw in the hallucination. After He Xiong heard this, he touched his hot face and was silent.

It was Yu Ying, who murmured: "If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall." All changes are fixed, and the spirit is calm. Dirt does not stick, and vulgar images do not stain. Void and nothing. Nothing is mutually beneficial, and difficulty is easy to achieve. Forgetting things is the same as Nirvana. Heaven and earth are endless, and all things are one. Flying flowers and falling leaves, humble as a valley. A thousand worries before I put my heart down. That is, the eyebrows are raised, and the spiritual platform is quiet. The heart is not obtrusive, and the mind is not attached. Relieve the mind and release the mind, Mo Ran has no soul. The water flow is not frightened, and the clouds are too late. Single-mindedly not arrogant, ancient and modern. ”

Xi Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and as Yu Ying's voice slowly groaned, he suddenly felt that his heart was calm and the world was vast. Even my breath became clear. Xi Zhen asked Yu Yingdao in surprise: "Sister Ying, do you know the internal strength method?"

The voice said shyly: "Brother Xi, where do I know what internal skills, but when I heard you talk about the illusion, I can't help but think of this "Pure Heart Mantra". I couldn't help but read it, I didn't expect it to help you. ”

He Xiong finally understood, grabbed Xi Zhen's hand, and said excitedly: "You kid is blessed, I heard the master say it before." Those who practice martial arts, once they reach a certain realm, will encounter bottlenecks and stagnate. ”

"And then?" asked Xi Zhen impatiently.

"Then it depends on a person's chance, if you can get the opportunity and break through the bottleneck, you will reach a new realm, at this time, the internal force cultivation is probably not the same as today. He Xiong thought for a moment and said: "However, once there is no chance, if you can't break through the bottleneck, there are two results. One result is that it has been stagnant and has not been able to improve its strength. There is also a kind of rush to achieve success, and finally go mad, at least crippled, or at worst killed. ”

Xi Zhen suddenly felt like a treasure, and suddenly he was stunned. This expression of suffering from gains and losses was seen by Yu Ying, so she comforted Xi Zhen and said softly: "Brother Xi, don't worry, it's just a dream, don't worry too much." Then he turned his head and stared at He Xiong viciously and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he must be making up nonsense to scare you, he blames you for beating him." ”

When He Xiong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly as he went out: "Alas, I shouldn't have come to you. It was my fault left and right, but I became a wicked person all of a sudden. Well, I think I'd better go to my own room and drink my own wine, and don't worry about all this gossip. ”

Xi Zhen glanced at Yu Ying gratefully, he knew what Yu Ying was thinking at this moment, so he said softly: "I'm fine, you don't have to treat him like this, he is such a person." But what he said also has some truth, similar words, I have also heard my master talk about it, at this time it would be good if the master and his old man were there. ”

Xi Zhen didn't know why he felt very weak at this time, Yu Ying could see it, and thought that he was too tired and needed to rest this way. He beckoned Xi Zhen to lie down and said softly: "Brother Xi, now you need to have a good rest, don't think about anything, everything will be fine." ”

Xi Zhen looked at the glint in Yu Ying's eyes, full of guilt. Yu Ying likes himself, but his heart is still on Guan Qing's body at the moment. Thinking of Guan Qing who appeared in the environment, looking at Yu Ying in front of him, Xi Zhen had to pretend to be unfazed.

The days that followed, Xi Zhen often felt weak, and the environment often appeared. The scene is almost identical every time. And every time I wake up, I always feel weak. He didn't tell Yu Ying and He Xiong about these things, and he didn't want them to worry. He has been thinking about when he will return to Wudang, maybe the master can solve his dilemma.

Yu Ying takes care of Xi Zhen's life carefully every day, and Xi Zhen knows what it is for. But it is precisely because of this that his guilt towards Yu Ying and Guan Qing is getting deeper and deeper. He often blamed himself for not being able to treat her well, but he had doubted her several times. Every time he walked to Guan Qing's room, he would expect that familiar face to appear every time he opened the door, but every time he brought him only disappointment. Every time I think of the moment I was with Guan Qing, I feel a pain in my heart. He hated that he couldn't stay by Guan Qing's side, causing Guan Qing to say goodbye, and hated that he couldn't share his heart with Yu Ying.
