Chapter 167: Wind, Fire, Heart!
Han Shi smiled indifferently, looked back at the white-clothed young man outside the door, and pointed to the wooden chair next to him, "It's okay, please sit, I have no tea or wine here, I'm just afraid that I will neglect Brother Xu." ”
Xu Chen Shi Ran walked in the door, closed the door carefully with his backhand, flicked the hem, and sat on the wooden chair with a smile.
If people who don't know see this scene, they will think that this person is a scholar who often reads the books of sages, and his words are quite elegant, where is the slightest feeling of a monk of Yuan Dan.
"Brother Xu is very skilled, if such strength is used to assassinate the Yue family, I am afraid that one will be stabbed and one will die. Han Shi glanced out the window, and his tone was flat.
"Brother Han, this matter is at fault first, but it did not hurt anyone's life, and I ask Brother Han to forgive me. ”
Xu Chen smiled bitterly, stood up, and bowed deeply towards Han Shi, with sincerity in his tone, without any sense of pretentiousness, Han Shi couldn't help but be stunned, this person actually apologized, which was somewhat unexpected for Han Shi.
"Since it didn't hurt anyone's life, it's easy to talk about this matter, I don't know if Brother Xu is here, what can you teach me?" Han Shi's face turned slightly pale.
Xu Chen's face was straight, "Brother Han, on the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion, you and I have met once, but in a hurry, I don't have time to talk to Brother Han, I can't hide it, I am a person from the City Lord's Mansion, and this time I was entrusted by City Lord Zhang to challenge Brother Han." ”
"It's just that I hit it off with Brother Han at first sight, I really don't want to be like this, but there are some grievances between my senior and the senior of the city lord Zhang, and I have to take action in the next, after today, I have a grudge with that Zhang Mubai, and I have nothing to do with it, and I don't want to be an enemy of Brother Han in the future, I hope Brother Han will not blame him for being rude this time." ”
"It's okay, it's just that this place is small, and it will alarm the Yue family, how about you and I go out of the city to find a secret place to fight?" Han Shi muttered.
"This matter is a little slow, after Steward He returned to the City Lord's Mansion, I have heard him relay, you have a hearty conversation about what justice is in the Yue family, and I deeply sympathize, I didn't expect that Brother Han has such a degree of understanding of the principles of heaven and man, in the next place, I want to have a literary battle with Brother Han today, how about it?" Xu Chen's eyes burned and he looked at Han Shi.
"Wen Dou?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Han Shi's eyes, this person was dressed in white, and in the moonlight, he looked even more extraordinary.
In this person, Han Shi sensed a trace of the aura of the Yuanying Monk, although it has not yet been reached, but the gap is already very small, as long as he encounters a suitable opportunity, he can pierce that layer of window paper and truly enter the ranks of the Yuanying Monk.
Right now, although Han Shi was very far away from Yuan Ying, he could vaguely feel that there was an extremely mysterious thing being born in the cyan Yuan Dan at this moment.
In the history of the Shi Clan, since the moment the natal stone appeared, it would maintain its original appearance, and it would only slowly grow larger with the improvement of Shi Xiu's strength, but its shape would always remain the same.
The integration of the heptagonal bluestone into the Yuan Dan means that there will be a trace of abnormality.
In this way, even Han Shi does not know what will happen to this stone, but there is a strong premonition, once this stone is in the world, a sound, the world knows, and then Ming, the world is shocked, and three Ming, the world is peaceful!
"So very good, you and I, as monks, should take it as our responsibility to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, the so-called Wendou, is the depth of your and my understanding of heaven and earth, Brother Xu came as a guest, and as the master in the next place, the topic of Wendou was handed over to Brother Xu. ”
Han Shi said it easily, but such a literary fight was a dispute between the two sides.
If you can stabilize your mind, even if you lose, it is still a beautiful thing to be able to honestly accept the other party's higher-level Dao thoughts to make up for your own shortcomings.
It's just that if two opposing Dao thoughts are hedged and can't be integrated at all, then there will inevitably be cracks in one person's Dao thoughts, and from then on, cultivation will become extremely difficult, and even fall into several realms.
Therefore, this so-called literary fight either appears in the mutual assistance of life and death, or in the duel between the enemies of life and death, like Han Shi and Xu Chen, it is extremely rare, if it were not for the fact that both of them are devout people, it would be impossible for such a cultural fight.
Xu Chen was silent for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up, pointing to the candle flame that was still swaying in the wind, "Brother Han, I will use this candle flame as the theme, and I hope that Brother Han will not hesitate to advise." ”
Xu Chen pondered for a long time, and between the turns of his mind, a trace of breath slowly appeared on his body, which belonged to the breath of Confucianism, this breath became thicker and thicker, like a wave higher than a wave, and under the accumulation of its potential, this huge wave has a monstrous momentum.
At a certain moment, Xu Chen opened his eyes, and there seemed to be smoke and clouds and stars flashing by, and then, it was as clear as water, like the calm after the huge waves subsided.
In the eyes of people, the candle flame swayed non-stop, all because of the breeze blowing, but I don't know, if there is no wind, this candle flame is still beating. ”
Xu Chen gently closed the window, and the candle flame suddenly stabilized a lot, but if you look closely, it still trembles slightly, like a person's heartbeat...... Extinguish.
Xu Chen glanced at Han Shi, stretched out his right hand, and a transparent film of Yuan Force appeared out of thin air, slowly enveloping the candle flame in all directions, this film isolated the inside and outside, blocking all the breezes outside.
Han Shi's eyebrows condensed slightly, he saw that the candle flame was still beating slowly, he glanced at Xu Chen, he had never thought about this before.
"This wind exists in the heavens and the earth, gathering and dispersing from time to time, but it can move all things, and this candle flame is just one of them.
It's just that after the wind is gone, I think about it, what is really moving with the wind, what is really moving with the wind? Therefore, the wind is only the surface, what really moves is the life of the candle flame, and it is the cause and effect that drives the candle flame to move. ”
Xu Chen slowly closed his eyes, and his voice gradually revealed a trace of enlightenment, as if coming from the void.
"The life of the candle flame and the cause and effect are born of man, if we close our eyes and look with our hearts, we can understand that the movement of the candle flame we see is born from the movement of our hearts, if the heart moves, everything does not move, if the heart does not move, the world will stay in the heart, and there will be no change in the heart.
Even in this outside world, it has experienced vicissitudes of life until it is old. In my unmoved heart, this world has always retained its original face. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly opened, and two extremely bright eyes shone on the candle flame, at this moment, the candle flame seemed to miss a beat of heartbeat, and it remained in a static shape, not moving with time.
Han Shi's gaze revealed a strange color, and then he fell into deep thought.
In less than an instant, the candle flame returned to normal, as if the momentary pause just now had never appeared, as if the footsteps of everything in this world had never stopped for something.
Xu Chen stood on the spot, silent, quietly reminiscing, he was not prepared for these words, but after he spoke, his heart walked freely, just like the waterfall that flowed straight down, pushed by an indescribable force, quite involuntarily.
It's just that the artistic conception in these words shocked even himself.
Perhaps, this is the so-called, it is better to seek others than to seek yourself, Xu Chen's face is neither happy nor sad, to this extent, for him, there is no victory or defeat at all, if he is forced to win or lose, he will be inferior.
The two stood silently, each comprehending.
After a long time, Han Shi slowly opened his eyes, a chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with admiration in his eyes, he looked at Xu Chen, "Brother Xu is high-minded, Han is taught, but there is also a word below, I hope Brother Xu will advise." ”
Xu Chen's eyes lit up, "Brother Han, please speak." ”
Xu Chen's heart was full of excitement, the artistic conception in his words had reached a very deep place, even he himself had the meaning of exhaustion, if he could go further, it would be a deeper realm, Xu Chen had a vague impulse in his heart, if he had to hear the truth at this moment, even if it was at sunrise, he would have to be wiped out, and it would be nothing.
This kind of impulse is to hear the truth, and it is okay to die at night.
And at this moment, he is hearing the Tao at night, and he can die.
Xu Chen smiled secretly, the meaning of self-deprecation flashed, and his gaze fell on Han Shi.
This time, he'd rather lose.
