Chapter Seventy-Six: The Old Monk and the Woodcutter
But this is easier said than done, how easy is it to do it, five or six years to break through to the void, and now Su Yang is only in the early stage of soul gathering after all!
Bidding farewell to the dead wood, Su Yang walked into the barren courtyard and waded through the weeds. Su Yang opened the dilapidated door of the wing room and walked into the wing room.
The program in the wing room is extremely simple, in front of the wing room is a one-meter-sized offering table, on which there is a Buddha statue, but in front of the Buddha statue, the incense burner has disappeared incense, and the Buddha statue is covered with spider webs everywhere, it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.
On the floor in front of the table, three futons lay in a row, and on the ground, the same dust was everywhere.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled slightly, and immediately picked up the broom on the side and cleaned it up, without using any spiritual power, just cleaning in the way of ordinary people.
This cleaning was a whole day, and it was not until it was dark that Su Yang put down the broom in his hand, and at this moment the entire wing room had a new look. That night, Su Yang crossed his knees on the futon in the middle and meditated quietly.
Early the next morning, Su Yang ended his practice early.
"Since Master Deadwood has told me that there is a solution to my internal problems, I might as well go and find it. Su Yang muttered. After finishing speaking, Su Yang left the wing room and began to search the entire courtyard.
The entire campus is not large, and there is not a single tall plant except for these weeds. And because of the weeds, the original appearance on the ground could no longer be seen clearly, but with the search, Su Yang knew that the original ground should be quite flat, and there was no rockery or anything like that.
After searching around, Su Yang didn't find anything, but noticed that there should have been a pond here, but now the water in the pond has dried up, and it is also overgrown with weeds.
"Hey, stop thinking about these things that you don't have, maybe if you don't meet it, maybe the opportunity has not arrived, or find a way to break through the realm that is blocked. Su Yang shook his head and smiled, Deadwood naturally had his reason to let him come here, but he couldn't find it and there was no way, since he had to stay here for half a month, it depended on his chance.
So, for the next few days, Su Yang stayed in the wing room and cultivated silently, and he would search the courtyard in his spare time.
Su Yang was originally in the early stage of soul gathering, and he had been in this realm for a long time, after the fierce battle at the beginning, the barrier of cultivation had already been loosened, and as long as there was an opportunity, he would break through to the middle stage of soul gathering at any time.
Five days have passed, perhaps the season has reached the rainy season, so during this time, the weather has been gloomy, with occasional light rain. And on this day, the light rain never stopped for a day, and it didn't stop until late at night.
Su Yang, who had been cultivating in the wing room, also felt a hint of coolness, so he stopped his cultivation and came to the door of the wing room. When I opened the door, I suddenly felt a clear breath in my face, sweeping away the boredom in the house.
"Where do you go in the wind and rain, the moon and stars are sparse from others. At this time, my heart was far away from the fighting and killing of the cultivation world, and the scene in front of me was so similar to that in Huaxia, as if I had returned to Huaxia again at this moment. Su Yang's thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously.
Until a long time later, Su Yang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, he was just an orphan, even if he returned to Huaxia, he was still a child that no one wanted. Su Yang has always used a grinning expression to hide his loneliness, and only sometimes thinks about his parents in the dead of night.
If you want to talk about resentment, Su Yang will inevitably have resentment, anyone who has not had the love of his parents will have resentment, but Su Yang does not hate, after all, parents can give themselves a life is the greatest gift, how can there be hatred? At this moment, Su Yang suddenly thought of his time in the orphanage.
I remember that at that time, the young Su Yang often went to dig loaches at night, and there was always a little girl who would carry a lantern behind her, and I don't know if she was afraid in that night?
Thinking about it, Su Yang's eyes involuntarily fell into the courtyard, and suddenly, Su Yang's eyes moved, and all his thoughts were thrown into the back of his mind.
In Su Yang's sight, he saw that the withered grass that was originally full of courtyard suddenly disappeared for some reason, and the pond was also filled with water again, and the lotus flowers as white as jade floated on the surface of the water, each of which exuded an elegant atmosphere, as if at this moment, time returned to ancient times again.
In the midst of the swaying lotus flowers, suddenly, Su Yang was stunned, only to see that at the edge of the pond, I don't know when a small stone table appeared, four stone benches were placed around, and on the table was a chessboard that had been unfolded.
The black and white twins fell on the chessboard in a staggered manner, which was already covered with chessboard, but surprisingly, there was only one person playing chess, an old monk with white hair.
"What's the point of playing chess alone?" Looking at the old monk who was seriously playing chess with him, Su Yang couldn't help but shake his head and smile. It is true that some people will play chess with themselves when they are unaccompanied, but it is just a pastime, and it is not about letting whoever you want to win, and letting whoever you want to win.
However, Su Yang looked at the old monk's expression, but he was extremely serious, and every time he thought about it for a long time before he could go to the next son, seeing this situation, Su Yang was extremely puzzled, and couldn't help but move his steps and walked to the stone table.
Lowering his head, Su Yang looked at the chessboard in front of him, and was immediately stunned by the situation in front of him.
This kind of situation, even if Su Yang can set it up himself, it is categorically impossible to succeed!
"Master, master. With an unnatural expression, Su Yang called out to the old monk in front of him for a few words, wanting to ask for something.
But the strange thing is that even though Su Yang shouted in the old monk's ear, the old monk still didn't even fluctuate as if he couldn't hear Su Yang's shout, and he was still looking down on the residence in front of him.
"Haha, old monk, I know that you are still playing chess with yourself as soon as I guess. Just when Su Yang was puzzled, suddenly, a person came behind Su Yang again, and similarly, this person sat directly on the stone bench opposite the old monk as soon as he came to the stone table.
The person who came was also an old man, dressed in a shabby green coat, with a notched axe at his waist, and a bundle of dry firewood behind him, this person was actually a woodcutter.
"I said old monk, is it interesting for you to play chess with yourself?" The woodcutter was not polite, and as soon as he sat down, he shouted, as if he didn't care that the old monk would be angry, which showed that the relationship between the two must be unusual.
"Huh. Listening to the woodcutter's words, the old monk smiled, raised his hand and dropped again: "I seem to have told you several times, why don't you understand?"
"Oh, have you told me a few times, why can't I remember?" the woodcutter was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be struggling to remember.
"Look at this game of chess, I hold a black disc in my left hand and a white disc in my right hand, and it is natural and simple to let one side win. But now, I hold the night and the night, and I know my confidant and the other, if I show no mercy on both sides, what will be the result? Do you understand?" the old monk finished speaking, and looked at the woodcutter in front of him with burning eyes.
"Do you understand again!" Suddenly, the eyes of the old monk and the woodcutter all looked at Su Yang!
"Ah!" Su Yang exclaimed, as if at this moment, the eyes of the old monk and the woodcutter had penetrated the time and saw the current Su Yang. The startled Su Yang directly took a few big steps back, and when he came to his senses, he looked forward again, where was the figure of the old monk and the woodcutter?
"What kind of mark of the times is this?Who are the old monks and woodcutters?" Su Yang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, this strange scene was really terrifying, at that moment, the eyes of the old monk and the woodcutter were like sharp arrows, as if they had penetrated through the ages. Straight to Su Yang's heart.
Taking a few deep breaths, Su Yang quickly calmed down his emotions, and then recalled the scene just now.
Black and white, yin and yang. At this time, all the opposites in the world are like gods and demons, immortals and demons. The existence of one must correspond to the other, as if all of time is within this balance.
"Haha, I understand, I understand!" At this moment, Su Yang seemed to be empowered, and he understood something in his heart, and suddenly burst into laughter.
What spiritual power, what demonic power, what is refining the body, as long as I cultivate, isn't it mine, as long as I am not lost, I am still me!
After a few laughs, Su Yang walked to the bluestone in a few steps and sat down cross-legged.
The demonic power that had been deeply suppressed also became active at this moment, and within a moment, there was a rolling red black demonic power all over Su Yang's body.
And at this moment, Su Yang's eyes were red again, but despite this, Su Yang was very calm and not affected by the demonic power in the slightest.
