Chapter Twenty-Three: Watching the Snow Mountains Without Thoughts or Thoughts

The mind is the most uncontrollable thing, and many of the world's wise people are defeated in the chaos of their minds. Therefore, one of the most common things a practitioner does is to meditate and meditate, in order to clear the mind of all kinds of distracting thoughts. There was once a Buddhist power who said: "The heart is like a mirror, you must wipe it diligently, and don't make it dusty." ”

It's not that the golden elephant has never entered the state of thoughtlessness, his understanding is that he is in a daze, he has looked at the sky in a trance, and when he woke up, a day has passed, this is thoughtless. But if he deliberately searched for it, he couldn't find it. This is the difference between practicing the contemplative gate and not practicing the contemplative contemplation gate.

In the green hills, the remnants of the mountains are almost withered, and only some flowers that have been eroded by the years and dyed pale are still struggling on the branches. There was a rhododendron at the bottom of the valley, and under the flower tree sat an old man with gray hair, who sat quietly with his eyes closed, stretched out one hand, and pointed his finger on the forehead of a small golden snake coiled in front of him.

After Jin Xiangdi drank that voice from Huiyan, his chaotic thoughts were swept away, as if someone had blown a breath on a dusty mirror, and the dust on the mirror was blown away in an instant.

"No thoughts, no thoughts. ”

Jin Xiangdi didn't know anything, at least he didn't know what Huiyan did after he entered a state of thoughtlessness. He didn't think he was asleep, he didn't feel unconscious, but it was true that he didn't know anything, he didn't see anything.

Hui Yan pointed his fingertips on the golden snake's forehead, closed his eyes, and sat silently, motionless.

The light between heaven and earth gradually dimmed, and the bodies of Hui Yan and Jin Xiangdi were slowly engulfed in darkness.

A little bit of spiritual light rushed straight above the nine heavens and disappeared into the darkness.

The night was silent, no moon rose in the sky, no stars, only the wind rustling the trees. I don't know how long it took, a little light suddenly shone in the silent darkness, and the bright light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, and it was fleeting. Despite this, it also illuminates the space in the darkness clearly.

On the pale azala flowers all over the ground sat an old man, with a withered body and an old face. It's just that at the moment when the light of his fingertips shone brightly, there was a vast color in his eyes.

This light illuminated the body of the little golden snake in front of his fingertips, and the fine scale armor reflected the golden light.

Just when a little light from Huiyan's fingertips shone out, a mountain suddenly appeared in front of the golden elephant, the mountain was tall and majestic, but bare, without any plants, and more than half of the mountain was already full of snowflakes, faintly snowflakes fluttering.

"Isn't this the horizontal bone that prevents me from transforming into a shape?" Jin Xiangdi retreated from that state of thoughtlessness, thinking so in his heart, when he opened his eyes, he saw Hui Yan who was getting older and older, before that, he had already thought that no one in the world could be older than Hui Yan, and at this moment, he also thought that no one could be older than Hui Yan now. I don't know why, Jin Xiangdi feels that the vitality on Huiyan's body is extremely weak, and the weak thing is like the rhododendron that is about to wither on the branch, as long as the wind is stronger, it will die.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Jin Xiangdi was worried, but he couldn't do anything but say this.

This time, Hui Yan didn't say that it was okay, but said, "Your spiritual platform has been opened." ”

Jin Xiangdi was attracted by his words, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, is it talking about that snow mountain?"

"Hehe, it turns out that what you see is a snow-capped mountain, and that is a snow-capped mountain. Hui Yan said.

"But that snow-capped mountain is the horizontal bone that prevents me from transforming into a shape!" said the golden elephant quickly.

"What prevents you from transforming is indeed the horizontal bones, blocking the spiritual energy you absorb into your body to accommodate your whole body, and you can't form a Zhou Tian cycle. It's not a snowy mountain, it's something you imagine from the bottom of your heart. Perhaps deep down in your heart, you feel that the horizontal bone is like a snow-capped mountain blocking the flow of spiritual energy, and over time, a snow-capped mountain is formed in your spiritual platform. I have opened the altar for you, and from now on, you can visualize. Hui Yan said unhurriedly, his voice clear although he was old.

"Visualization?" Jin Xiangqi wondered, not knowing what to visualize.

"Contemplating the snow-capped mountains allows you to meditate and concentrate. ”

"Is that all?" Jin Xiangdi felt that it should not be so simple.

"It's just visualization, visualizing that the snow-capped mountain is no longer a snow-capped mountain that blocks you, but your own snow-capped mountain, which is your mana, which can make your horizontal bones refine quickly. When you take shape, the snow-capped mountain will turn from real to virtual, and then there will be the altar, which is the first step in condensing the image. In the Dao Gate, in addition to the Qi Refining Method, what they learn is also contemplation, but their visualization is any one of the three clears, three veins and twenty-one Dharma images. Hui Yan explained to Jin Xiangdi: "Although it is important to refine qi and exhale, it is also important to contemplate without slackening at all. ”

Only then did Jin Xiangdi understand what he was visualizing, and he knew that what he was visualizing was the Dharma image in the future, so he naturally knew that it was important.

"Our Lingtai Sect, like any other sect of cultivation in the world, has already begun to visualize at the beginning of our practice, but the true Dharma image must be above the realm of a true person before it can be concluded. Hui Yan sat there quietly and lowered his eyebrows and said quietly, and Jin Xiangdi had a feeling that he was very urgent.

"Senior brother, don't say any more, you can rest for a while, and we will go back to the master together after dawn. Hui Yan said anxiously.

"Senior brother can't go back. Hui Yan shook her head.

"Why?" Jin Xiangdi exclaimed, what he was most afraid of since he saw Hui Yan get old was that Hui Yan would say such a sentence, but he finally said it today.

"Our Lingtai Sect has only one precept, that is, if you provoke a strong enemy outside the mountain, you must not lead back to the mountain gate, and you must not claim to be a disciple of the Lingtai Sect. Hui Yan closed her eyes, as if she didn't even have the strength to open them.

"How could it be, how could it be. "The golden elephant has a lot of thoughts.

Hui Yan continued: "Shimen is a place of quiet practice, not a place of refuge, if I provoke a strong enemy and hide in Shimen, it will bring disaster to Master and his brothers, and it will disturb their practice. Therefore, when any disciple descends the mountain, the master will instruct that no matter what he has done outside, he must not bring the calamity back to the master's door. Jin Xiangdi listened, only felt that this was completely different from other sects, he heard Tsing Yi say that one of the biggest advantages of people with a master is that if they provoke a strong enemy outside, they can report to their own sect, and they can hide back in the sect for refuge, but this Lingtai Sect is just the opposite.

"Our Lingtai Sect is in Fangcun Mountain, in Xiniu Hezhou, and there are still 79,000 miles away from here. There you go. ”

"No, senior brother, let's go together, that Hua Qingyang won't chase after him again. The golden elephant said eagerly, with a strong sorrow and pleading in his voice. The sad thing is that Huiyan is like a candle in the wind, and the sad thing is that he has given up the idea of survival.

"I come from ignorance, and I go in silence, which is something that should be happy, you don't have to be sad, you must remember to keep the spiritual platform quiet at all times. I was stabbed by Hua Qingyang more than once, and I still have his sword intent in my body, and the reason why he hasn't appeared yet is because he wants me to escape back to the master. Go ahead, he's a haughty man, he won't kill you if you don't show up with me, and even if he knows that you might go back to the school, he won't chase you. Hui Yan said.

Jin Xiangdi shook his head, speechless.

"You go, go back to Shimen, go back to Lingtai Sect, go back to Fangcun Mountain. After speaking, a spiritual light did not enter Jin Xiangdi's forehead, and Jin Xiangdi suddenly couldn't move, or his body was not controlled by his own thoughts. In his ears, he heard Hui Yan say: "There are still 79,000 miles to go, you don't have a spell, I will give you a talisman, as long as you go carefully all the way, you should be able to return to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain." As he spoke, a spirit rune like the starry sky appeared in his palm, and there was a faint starlight shining in the talisman, and he waved it out, submerging it into the forehead of the golden elephant, and then waved his hand, and the body of the golden elephant was quickly swimming towards the mountain, and after a while, it had reached the edge of the valley.

Jin Xiangdi was in a hurry, but his body was not controlled by himself, and he thought that it must be his senior brother who cast a spell on him, just to let himself go. shouted in his heart: "Senior brother, senior brother, let's go back together, you said that you will go back to the master together......" but he couldn't make the slightest sound in his mouth.

Just as he was out of the valley, he saw a person standing quietly not far away.

A white-clothed robe fluttered in the night wind, a white-sheathed long sword hung on his waist and swayed, his hands were hidden in the sleeves of the robe, his black hair was like night, his eyebrows were like swords, his lips were thin, his nose was straight, and his eyes were cold. It was Hua Qingyang who chased and killed Hui Yan step by step to a dead end.
