Time passed slowly, and Ye Sheng had been in the outer gate of this Sword Refining Sect for three years.

In three years, this Sword Refining Sect is no different from the rumors of the outside world, it is indeed a quiet place to cultivate, Ye Sheng has rarely stayed in the cave, and he flows down the river every day, the bamboo raft three years ago has been changed several times, and the fresh bamboo has also grown for three years, at this moment it is really spring, Ye Sheng slowly crossed down from the river, but he smelled a fresh breath.

"This bamboo grows better every year. A smile appeared on Ye Sheng's face, at this moment, if someone came out of the woods and saw Ye Sheng, they would definitely think that he was just an ordinary young man, in the past three years, even if Ye Sheng did not use the breathing technique, he could keep his breath calm and still, unlike before, when his breath leaked out, it would overflow from time to time.

In the past three years, Ye Sheng has naturally heard a lot of gossip, and the position of his first cave mansion was replaced two years ago. That monk was the strength of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, and Ye Sheng had no intention of competing for it, so he just gave the cave mansion to him without saying a word.

But Ye Sheng's move left people with the impression of a soft persimmon. From time to time, someone bullied him, Ye Sheng didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but he still came to the lake from the bamboo forest every day, quietly looked at the scenery, and then slowly propped the bamboo raft back.

On this day, when Ye Sheng came back from outside, he heard some rumors.

"Look, the rubbish is back......"

"Hmph...... He only has the strength of the third layer of Qi Cultivation, but he occupies a cave mansion for nothing, which is really a waste of the resources of this Sword Refining Sect. The next time the sect recruits someone, I will definitely recruit my junior disciple and drive him out. ”

"Waste is waste......

Ye Sheng didn't know when he started, so he gave people the title of a waste, because his strength was not enough in the eyes of others, but he was not good at cultivating, and he didn't know where to go all day long.

With Ye Sheng's state of mind at the moment, he naturally wouldn't mind.

"It's been three years...... Ye Sheng's heart flashed, for three years, he has been pursuing the kind of realm that Jimo said at that time, "Everything is my heart moving......"

Ye Sheng entered his cave, closed the stone door, and sat quietly on his stone bed, meditating cross-legged.

"In three years, my Danhai has already reached a state of saturation...... It's only a momentary realization, I don't know how long it will take......" Ye Sheng was not impatient in his heart, "This time of realization is mysterious, impatient, if it is urgent, it will be even more difficult to penetrate." Now, although my state of mind has not reached the level of truly seeing through all things, but my mind is not moving, but I have done it. ”

Ye Sheng's eyes showed a gleam.

"When I was reading books when I was a child, I saw others say that people's state of mind should be divided into three realms. In terms of the mountains and rivers of all things in this world, this first realm is to see that the mountains are mountains and the water is water. This must be to learn not to move the heart, not to move the heart, in order to truly see all things in time. This should be the state I am in now. ”

"This second realm is mysterious. Here's what it says. Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water. Is this saying that I can't see through the essence of things without moving my heart?" Ye Sheng's eyes showed doubt.

"If I reach this realm, presumably, I will already be the strength of the Daotai realm. ”

"But I have heard that above this realm, there is still a higher realm, and what we are saying is to look at the mountains as mountains, as the water, or as water! This sentence is not difficult to understand! This means that after the cultivation has reached a certain height, the self-precipitation can be completed! The self-precipitation is nothing more than returning to the basics. The aura of oneself is not exposed at all, but what is contained in every move is the law of the Great Dao! This realm is not something that my current strength can touch. ”

Ye Sheng thought in his heart, and still meditated quietly, as if an old monk was sitting still, without any change in his expression, it seemed that he had become one with anything around him.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.

On this day, Ye Sheng still came out of the cave and walked towards the bamboo forest.

"The bamboo raft is gone......" Ye Sheng frowned slightly. I searched again, but I still couldn't find it. The people here didn't know that they would come to this place, and even if they did, they would at most spread these words, but they wouldn't destroy their own rafts.

Ye Sheng was puzzled, looking at the mountains behind him, and his mood did not fluctuate.

The bamboo raft is gone, and the big deal is to make a new one, for the monk, what is outside the body is nothing but illusory.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Sheng was about to walk towards the interior of the bamboo forest, when suddenly a hearty laugh broke the original tranquility and interrupted Ye Sheng's thoughts.

"This little brother, but you want to take a boat?" A flat boat rowed over from the lake, and on it stood an old man in a robe, full of traces of the vicissitudes of time, but showing a kind smile, and at his feet, there was a jar of wine.

According to Ye Sheng's temperament, it was naturally a very strange thing for such an old man to appear in such a place, after all, this was the interior of the Sword Refining Sect, and outsiders rarely had a chance to come in! Not to mention the old man in front of him who seemed to be a mortal.

But I don't know why, the moment Ye Sheng saw the smile on the old man's face, he actually smiled at the old man and nodded, without saying no, it seemed that all the vigilance disappeared at this moment, and what was left in his eyes was also a thick smile.

"Then it's troublesome. Ye Sheng smiled and stepped directly onto the boat.

"Haha, don't bother, don't bother, the old man has been drifting on this water all the year round, what kind of person hasn't seen it, this little brother is a scholar at first glance, right?"

Ye Sheng looked at the old man's gentle smile, nodded as well, and said, "I will enter Beijing next year to take the exam." ”

"Haha, my old man has never worshiped the sky or the earth in his life, and in addition to worshiping the river god, the only thing I admire is you scholars. The old man said, but he put down the oars in his hand and asked Ye Sheng with a smile: "Does the little gentleman drink alcohol?" ”

Scholars are meant to be called sir.

Ye Sheng had never called anyone "sir", and he couldn't help laughing at the moment, nodding at the old man, and hugging his fists was a thank you.

The old man sighed and said with a smile: "My old man, I usually don't have any hobbies, my only hobby is drinking." My old wine is very strong, and the little gentleman can't drink too much, and if he does, he is drunk. ”

As he spoke, he poured a bowl of wine for Ye Sheng.

The boat slowly drifted down the current, but it was not in a hurry, and the old man poured a bowl by himself and sat down.

"My husband talks extraordinary, how long have you been here?" Ye Sheng asked.

"It's been twenty-five years...... the old man took a sip of wine, "I have encountered too many winds and waves in my life, and there is nothing thrilling about this kind of flowing water." ”

Ye Sheng smiled and took a sip of wine. The wine went down Ye Sheng's throat, and a spicy smell directly choked up, "Good wine!" Ye Sheng couldn't help but drink.

"Hey, hey. The old man laughed proudly, "Where is the little gentleman?"

"Zhao Guoren. Ye Sheng said with a smile.

"But migrated?"

Ye Sheng nodded yes.

"Haha, I haven't walked out of Yan Country in my life, it's not that I won't go, but where can I go when the earth is big?"

Ye Sheng smiled dumbly: "My uncle's words are wrong, this heaven and earth are big, why can't there be a place to go?"

As the saying goes, read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles, but if you think about it, in this life, you can live so many days, you can live, and you can read so many books and travel thousands of miles, this life is too short, what you can go is only so many places to go, therefore, it is not that this world does not allow me to wait, but time. ”

Ye Sheng nodded silently, but he didn't say anything.

The boat swung and reached the lake.

"You see the river flows into the lake, and the reason why there is so much water in the lake is because it flows in continuously. The reason why people are not tired is only because of the impact of foreign objects. ”

When Ye Sheng heard this, he shook his head.

"My husband's words are bad, this lake water, it seems, is just stagnant water, it flows into more, its space is still so big, but it has never grown. ”

The old man drank the wine in the bowl, but laughed: "The little gentleman is a scholar, so I will ask you, the old man, have you ever seen this lake overflowing?"

Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he looked at the old man puzzled and said, "No." ”

You see, this is the same as who is flowing into this lake, but it does not overflow, why is that? You know, this river is moving, and the lake is still, and between this movement, there is an atmosphere that accommodates hundreds of rivers! You see this lake, its space is so big, but if you detach yourself and you think about how big it is, then how big it is. You see, all the streams, big or small, don't make the lake overflow, and to put it more broadly, the sea is because in your heart it is the sea, and so it becomes the sea. ”

The old man's words made Ye Sheng feel like he had been empowered, and his heart was suddenly shocked!

"If you think about how big it is, then it's how big it is......"

Ye Sheng thought about this sentence repeatedly, but his eyes became brighter and brighter!

He repeatedly forgot the time, and at this moment, everything stood still. He stared at the lake in a daze, as if something was in it.

I don't know how long it took for Ye Sheng to come back to his senses, the boat had already arrived at the shore, and the old man was drinking and waiting for Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng got out of the boat, hugged his fist at the old man, and watched the old man leave with a smile.

Ye Sheng didn't leave immediately, he sat down cross-legged, his eyes showing enlightenment. The old man's voice still reverberates: "How big is your heart...... The lake is as big as it ......"

He sat in a daze, and this sitting was five days!
