Chapter Twenty-Four: Inner and Outer Powers

Before returning to his residence, Wu Ming first went to visit his cousin Wu Zheng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wu Zheng is a little arrogant, and in the years when Wu Ming's cultivation was stagnant, Wu Zheng also said some sarcastic things.

However, Wu Zheng is his cousin after all, and Wu Ming is still a little concerned.

Walking through a dark passage, you will arrive at the room where Wu Zheng was grounded. A few black-clothed people were guarding outside the room, and when they saw Wu Ming coming, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "Young Master Ming!"

"Hmm," Wu Ming replied softly, about to go in.

"Young Master Ming," several black-clothed people were a little embarrassed, "You can go in and see, but you must not do anything, let alone let him go, otherwise, we will definitely be punished heavily!"

"Don't worry," Wu Ming said with a smile, "I'm just a third-level martial artist, and you're all sixth-level martial artists!

"Yes. The man in black put him in, and at the same time, a man in black followed Wu Ming in.

"Cousin?" After entering the room, Wu Ming saw that Wu Zheng was tied to a chair, but the chair had fallen crooked, and Wu Zheng also fell to the ground with his hair scattered.

Next to it, there were several cups and plates, presumably the food prepared for Wu Zheng. On the ground, there was some scattered food, presumably when someone fed Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng knocked the food down. And Wu Zheng's head was scattered on the side of the food, and his hair and clothes were stained with a lot of food and soup.

At this time, Wu Zheng seemed to be asleep, motionless.

"Cousin, I'm Xiao Ming!" Wu Ming shouted again.

"Huh?" Wu Zheng's body trembled, and his eyes that were hidden under the messy hair opened.

Originally, Wu Zheng was a very smart person, his eyes were even more flexible, and he could express a lot of meaning with one turn and one movement. But at this time, Wu Zheng's eyes were dead silent, cloudy and without a trace of brilliance.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Zheng shrunk his body, as if he was a little scared.

"Cousin, why did you become like this?" Wu Ming felt a little heartache, straightened the chair, straightened Wu Zheng's hair, and ordered the man in black behind him, "Go and call someone to clean up here." ”

"I don't know how many times I've cleaned up!" the man in black complained, but he still walked to the door, explained to the other man in black, and then came back immediately, "I've gone to call someone, I should be there soon." ”

"Well," Wu Ming responded, and locked his eyes on Wu Zheng, at this time, Wu Zheng, how could he still have a trace of the appearance of a rich young master, if he was thrown outside, he would definitely be regarded as a flower child.

No, Hanako may be better than him, and although Hanako is poor and can't eat, at least she doesn't have to endure the pain of the addiction to the Ascending Immortal Grass.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Zheng said in a cold tone, and said weakly, "Before, your cultivation was stagnant, I used to laugh at you, and now you are also looking at my jokes? Look, look at how miserable I am now!"

"Cousin, don't do this!" Wu Ming frowned, he could imagine how much Wu Zheng had been tortured during this time.

"Cousin, in fact, I have always admired you," Wu Ming continued, "You can handle the things given to you by the family, you can do it very well! There have been many problems, and the elders have no good solutions, but you can always come up with a way to solve them, and grandpa praises you for your smart brain, and you are a businessman!"

"It's a pity," Wu Ming sighed, "those problems didn't knock you down, but a small Ascending Immortal Grass trapped you." Don't be discouraged, I believe that you will definitely be able to quit your addiction to the Ascending Immortal Grass and return to your previous appearance. The family has not given up on you, and we are all waiting for you to get better. ”

"Quit it, it's easy for you to say!" Wu Zheng's face suddenly appeared with a strange brilliance, "Have you ever experienced that feeling of bliss, as if you have become an immortal! No, it is even more wonderful than an immortal! After experiencing that feeling, it is difficult to forget it!"

"You go, don't persuade me anymore, it's useless to persuade me. Wu Zheng instantly returned to his cold appearance.

Wu Ming secretly thought in his heart, this Ascending Immortal Grass was somewhat similar to his previous experience. He had experienced that kind of happy time, so he was addicted to it, and he couldn't help himself. And Wu Zheng, after also experiencing some kind of happiness, fell into it and couldn't come out.

"If I also smoke this Ascending Immortal Grass and become addicted, can I come out?" Wu Ming thought to himself.

He also wondered, "Why, things that make people happy, always make people addicted, and eventually lead people to degenerate? Could it be that happiness is sinful? If so, then what is the purpose of our cultivation, don't we just want to make ourselves and our families happier?"

This problem cannot be solved in a short time, so Wu Ming no longer thinks about it.

looked at Wu Zheng again, he knew that whether he could come out or not depended on Wu Zheng himself, and it was really difficult for outsiders to help too much. After comforting Wu Zheng a few more words, Wu Ming wanted to leave.

Wu Zheng saw that he was leaving, but suddenly showed an anxious look, and Wu Ming stopped to see if he had something to say.

"Brother Ming," Wu Zheng lowered his voice and motioned for Wu Ming to come closer.

When Wu Ming got closer, he saw a flattery on Wu Zheng's face, only to hear Wu Zheng say in a flattering tone: "Brother Ming, I was wrong before, don't be like my brother, that ...... Can you get some of that thing for my brother, my brother is really hungry!"

"Huh?" Wu Ming instantly distanced himself from him, "Cousin, that thing made you like this, and you still don't repent?"

"Shhhhhh ”

"I will never agree to this!" Wu Ming said very resolutely.

"Okay, let's go, get out!" Wu Zheng shouted hysterically, struggling at the same time, and soon, the chair fell to the ground under his struggle, and at the same time, his body also hit the ground hard, this sound, very loud, thinking about it, it should be very painful, but Wu Zheng didn't seem to feel it at all.

Wu Ming sighed again and left.

......

Walking on the road, the old way in his mind jumped out and said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing for him." ”

Wu Ming understands the meaning of the old way, if Wu Zheng can come out, this experience will be a good training, and by then, Wu Zheng will become more mature and stronger.

I'm afraid, Wu Zheng can't come out.

......

Back in the room, Wu Ming cultivated cross-legged. As soon as he cultivated, Wu Ming felt that something was wrong, and the speed at which he absorbed the aura was much faster than before.

Becoming a third-level martial artist, the speed of absorbing aura will become faster, but it can't be so fast. It feels several times faster.

Wu Ming didn't know whether this phenomenon was good or bad, so he could only ask the old Tao in his mind for advice. Lao Dao smiled, very proud of Wu Ming's surprise at the moment.

Wu Ming secretly thought that Lao Dao must have known it a long time ago, so he quietly waited for Lao Dao to explain.

Lao Dao asked rhetorically: "In cultivation, do you say that the mind is important, or is the body important?"

Wu Ming didn't know why Lao Dao suddenly asked this, but he knew that since Lao Dao asked, he must have his intentions, so he thought to himself.

According to the book, in the realm of martial artists, the body is important, because cultivating the body can increase strength. After becoming a ninth-level martial artist, the strength of the body has reached the limit, at this time, it is necessary to use the body to slowly warm the mind, when the mind is strong to a certain stage, you can break through the mental barrier and become an innate master.

At that time, the physical strength will become insignificant, because the innate master can send out spell attacks, and under spells such as flames and ice hockey, no matter how tough the physical strength is, it is also vulnerable. And to send out these spells, it is impossible to do without a strong mind, so at this time, it is the mind that is important.

Wu Ming told Lao Dao the above, but Lao Dao smiled and asked, "Then you say, what is the cultivation of the body used for?"

"What is the use of cultivating the body?" Wu Ming was puzzled, "Use aura?"

"To cultivate the body, you need to use aura, but if you don't have a heart, can you still cultivate?" asked Lao Dao.

"Without a heart, without a heart, I'm dead, what else do I cultivate?" Wu Ming was still puzzled, slowly savoring the words of the old way, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Are you saying that when you are in the realm of a martial artist, when you cultivate your physical body, you actually have to use your heart?" Because I have passed the method of testing demons arranged by you, my mind has become stronger, so the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is so fast? However, doesn't it mean that the mind is high in the Mud Pill Palace and can't communicate with the physical body, how can you say that it will be used when cultivating the physical body?"

"Heart, heart, heart, why is it crowned with a god word?" the old Tao said, "the heart is the body, and the god is the use." There are two kinds of gods, inner and outer powers. Inner supernatural powers, supernatural powers in the body, but if you feel, see, and hear, your heart will know, why? It is because the whole body is covered by the heart. The heart is the king, and the whole body is the minister. ”

"As for the external supernatural powers, after becoming innate, they can send out various spells, which is the manifestation of external supernatural powers. Otherwise, why can all kinds of spells be issued out of thin air? The so-called spells are actually formed by combining external supernatural powers with spiritual energy. ”

Wu Ming was still puzzled: "So, isn't there any mental barrier at all?"

Lao Dao replied: "Of course there are mental barriers. However, don't look at the name of the mental barrier, in fact, it is a protection for the mental spirit. When people's hearts are weak, if they allow their hearts to come out easily, they may be invaded by the outside world. Therefore, after a person is born, there is a mental barrier that separates the mind from the physical body, which is a gift from heaven to mankind. ”

However, this isolation is not a complete isolation, but a subtle passage through which the mind can charge the whole body, but it will not be invaded by the outside world, which is the inner power of the mind. ”

"And when the mind is strong enough to a certain extent, with the power of self-preservation, you can break the mental barrier and develop external magical powers. ”

"But now cultivators only know the outer supernatural powers, but they don't know the inner supernatural powers. They all feel that the mental barrier is a bad thing, and they can't hope to break the mental barrier as soon as possible, but they don't know that if it weren't for the mental barrier, these people would have been invaded and killed by the outside world. ”

"Invaded and killed by the outside world?" Wu Ming didn't understand what this invasion meant.

"Yes," said Lao Dao, "for example, now you can only hear the sound of a very close distance, but if there is no mental barrier, then the sound from a long distance will come and enter your head, and you can't do it if you want to be quiet, you may be disturbed to death by this sound." This is a type of invasion. ”

Wu Ming asked: "So, when you reach the innate realm, aren't you afraid of this kind of invasion?"

Lao Dao said: "It's not that I'm not afraid, but I have a certain amount of self-preservation, first of all, the mind is strong, and the things outside come in a little more, and the mind can bear it." Secondly, the first thing to learn before developing external supernatural powers is to be able to send and receive the mind. After entering the innate nature, the reason why you can hear sounds far away is because the mind has passed, and when you take back your mind, you can not be affected by those sounds. ”

"Oh, I see. Wu Ming sighed.

Lao Dao continued: "However, it is useless for you to know this now, these are still far away from you. When you reach the innate, I will naturally tell you these things slowly. ”

"Good. Wu Ming agreed, he also knew that these things were far away from him, and listening to too much would only distract him. As long as he knew that honing his mind would also be good for his current physical cultivation, it would be enough.

At the moment, he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to cultivate.
