234 The realm and domain of His Holiness
Zeng Shu was thoughtful, and said softly: "Is this the realm you understand? Although there are some swords that go sideways, you still don't understand it thoroughly, what is called the Venerable realm, or what is called the realm!"
As soon as the words fell, Chang Jinde's fist had already touched Zeng Shu's chest, there was no imaginary stone shattering, and there was no yellow sand being struck, only a breeze blew and blew off a few leaves.
After Chang Jinde punched out, he did not continue to attack, but took a few steps back, and began to adjust his breathing, and it could be seen that this punch consumed him very much, and he was unable to continue to attack at all, so he could only passively adjust.
Liu Zhendong stood in front of the window and watched the two, especially after hearing Zeng Shu's words, Liu Zhendong felt very strange, is this the so-called 'realm'?
Regarding the meaning of 'realm', Liu Zhendong is very vague, although he is also constantly studying and excavating the so-called 'realm', but this kind of thing is ethereal, many times the content of understanding is specious, it is difficult to figure out the meaning, on the whole, the so-called 'realm' is one of the necessary conditions for breaking through the Venerable, if you can't understand the transparent 'realm' is basically hopeless to break through to the Venerable, even if you meet several other necessary conditions, the typical one is the black-faced ghost in the small black room.
The black-faced ghost's index in all aspects has reached the value of the breakthrough, and even far exceeds the so-called standard, but the understanding of the 'realm' is too shallow, resulting in a delay in the success of the breakthrough, which also has a lot to do with the early experience of the black-faced ghost, the black-faced ghost does whatever he wants excessively, and is lost in killing and various desires for a long time, which leads to the analysis' The realm is all superficial, in addition to the black-faced ghost pays too much attention to other points, resulting in a shift in the center of gravity, until it is almost to the age of the sixtieth year to start to worry, naturally it is more difficult to calm down to study, after several breakthrough failures, the black-faced ghost completely detached from the right path, began to take shortcuts, study the side door, this does not put Liu Zhendong on the eye, want to seize Liu Zhendong's "Nothing to Achieve" exercises, so as to break through to the Venerable realm, but I don't know that even if he is given "Nothing Achieves" Exercises, regardless of whether the black-faced ghost can cultivate or not, even if he can cultivate, a monk who cannot fundamentally break through without mastering the 'realm' and cannot form a self-circulation is not considered a Venerable realm at all in the strict sense.
The same problem still exists in many monks, especially senior monks who have been stuck in the lay stage for decades, and they are very confused about the 'realm', and they don't understand what this 'realm' is.
Zeng Shu didn't have so many worries, for him, breaking through to the Venerable realm was actually a night of time.
In the long river of history, although there are not many monks like Zeng Shu, there are similar situations, this group of proud sons of heaven, their understanding of the 'realm' is earlier than the accumulation of their own essence and spirit, often a small epiphany, can pierce this layer of window paper, establish their own 'realm', complete the self-cycle, and naturally become the realm of Venerable.
And Zeng Shu is even more powerful in that he not only completed the basic 'realm', but also sublimated the 'realm' into a 'domain', so even in the Venerable realm, Zeng Shu also belongs to the top-notch existence, not all Venerable beings have 'realm', most of the Venerable throughout their lives, there is only the so-called 'realm'.
Liu Zhendong was observing the spirit around Zeng Shu at this time, and he couldn't talk about any understanding, but Zeng Shu's actions brought him a little understanding.
Chang Jinde was extremely surprised at this time, and said with some trembling: "It's actually a complete domain, you are only in your twenties! Oh my God! This is the legendary Tianmen Jiaozi!"
Chang Jinde's understanding of the Venerable Realm far surpasses Liu Zhendong's, and he has a distorted 'realm', which is why he is so out of shape and feels the 'horror' that he was comfortable with.
Zeng Shu's eyes revealed a trace of loss, and said: "This is the core content of your breakthrough? A realm where pure imitation is not in place? It is hard to imagine how much pain you have experienced to be able to display this kind of realm mixed with other people's colors so skillfully, but unfortunately imitation is always imitation, and it is a little bit less meaningful." ”
Chang Jinde said a little unconvinced: "Although it is an imitation, the lethality is still very strong, enough for me to dominate the country of Mexico, next, please be careful, I will use the biggest killing move, heaven and earth collapse!"
Zeng Shu didn't care at all, and even his eyes revealed a 'boring' look, Chang Jinde knew that Zeng Shu had this strength and confidence, but his confidence in the collapse of heaven and earth was very strong!
It's not that I look down on Chang Jinde, Zeng Shu understands Chang Jinde's thoughts, but unfortunately after entering the Venerable, especially after having his own 'domain', the so-called amount of essence and spirit has become less important, unless the amount of spirit and spirit that you can explode has reached a terrifying point, otherwise, for Zeng Shu, there is not much difference.
Chang Yulian stood beside Liu Zhendong at this time and said, "Is this the collapse of the world of the ancestor? ”
At this time, Chang Jinde did not see the old state of a hundred years old at all, but was like a brave man in the prime of life, and blasted out an extremely advantageous fist.
When sprinting all the way, the mud and sand and leaves along the way have been driven, and the sound of 'thunderstorm' can be faintly heard, and with the footsteps of Chang Jinde's sprint, it is like someone beating a drum in front of the two armies, bringing a strong visual impact effect.
Liu Zhendong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think about it, if it was him, how should he meet Chang Jinde's collapse.
From a rational point of view, it is natural to dodge, not to collide with Chang Jinde, after all, he is not a monk of the Spirit Sect, the collapse of heaven and earth is obviously a powerful attack move, if you really want to block it with your body, he thinks that he can't resist, or that he suffers a lot, so dodging is a good way, the so-called avoiding its edge, that's it.
Of course, assuming that the situation is impossible to dodge, Liu Zhendong also thought about this situation, when from the current viewing perspective, Liu Zhendong thinks that the end of hard resistance is very miserable, at least for him, the collapse of the world of hard resistance to Chang Jinde will most likely make him seriously injured.
Zeng Shu's eyes have always been very calm, even if Chang Jinde's heaven and earth collapse looks very terrifying, and even disturbs the spirit in the surrounding environment, and the wind that drives him even blows his hairstyle, but there is no change in Zeng Shu's eyes, it is still the same as the original, calm with a trace of disappointment.
Zeng Shu made a move, compared to the momentum of the collapse of heaven and earth, Zeng Shu's move can be said to be gentle and elegant, and it is also a move in Ah Wei's eighteen styles, Liu Zhendong is extremely familiar, but by Zeng Shu's performance, the difference between the two effects is more than 108,000 miles.
Chang Yulian has already begun to exclaim, 'Impossible!', in fact, if it wasn't for seeing it with his own eyes, but if it was relayed by others, Liu Zhendong wouldn't believe it, but the cruel reality was in front of him, Chang Jinde's heaven and earth collapsed and lost its effect, Zeng Shu still didn't move half a step in place, Chang Jinde's face was already very ugly, and his own spirit began to run around, and it was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
Liu Zhendong touched his chin, his mind was full of question marks, Zeng Shu didn't make any strong attack movements, just stretched out his hand to grasp Chang Jinde's fist, and made a slight downward pressure by the way.
It was this action that directly stopped the momentum of the collapse of heaven and earth, Chang Jinde's face changed greatly, his own spirit began to be disordered, and he couldn't stop retreating.
Chang Jinde's current appearance is a bit like the changing face in traditional domestic opera, his face is pale for a while, ruddy as cinnabar for a while, and black as coal for a while, of course, Liu Zhendong knows why this is the case from the perspective of the outside.
That's because Chang Jinde's spirit was refuted and scurrying around, which caused Chang Jinde to keep changing his face.
After a long while, Chang Jinde's face returned to normal, but his spirit had fallen to the bottom, basically exhausted, and fell into a period of weakness.
Chang Jinde bowed his hand to Zeng Shu and said: "Bow to the wind! What you lose in the next is convinced! It is worthy of being a strong man who has mastered the domain, and it really deserves its reputation." ”
Zeng Shu bowed his hand and saluted back: "Accept!" After speaking, Zeng Shu made a gesture of invitation, signaling Chang Jinde to go back to the house and rest for a while.
Chang Jinde laughed and walked back to the villa, Chang Yulian hurriedly made tea for the two, Liu Zhendong was still standing in front of the window, looking at the place of the battle just now, his eyes showed a great look of confusion, and he ignored Chang Yulian's shout for a while.
Chang Jinde signaled Chang Yulian not to disturb Liu Zhendong, held the teacup to Zeng Shu, and said: "If I can see the true face of the domain today, the old man can be regarded as dead without regrets!"
Zeng comfortably drank tea and whispered: "I didn't use the domain just now, I just used the realm slightly, and I didn't hide that I haven't used all my strength." ”
Chang Jinde's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said: "I thought this was the legendary domain, but I didn't expect it to be the realm of the realm." ”
Zeng Shu said softly: "The domain is the sublimation of the realm, many people don't understand, thinking that the domain must be more advanced than the realm, but in fact it is a big mistake, the essence of the domain is still the realm, there is no difference between the core of the two, and the domain will not necessarily be able to defeat the realm." ”
Chang Jinde was a little confused, and said, "But isn't the domain a stage higher than the realm, why is it said that the domain may not be able to defeat the realm?"
Zeng Shu said: "Just like the situation of porcelain and pottery, it is not the high-end things that are better, and sometimes the non-high-end things are dominant. ”
After hearing this, Chang Jinde nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, I can understand it, so I say that this is porcelain?"
Zeng Shu wanted to tell Chang Jinde clearly that his so-called 'realm' was not strictly a 'realm' at all, and naturally it was even more unlikely to become the 'porcelain' or 'pottery' in his mouth, and it could only be regarded as a plastic product at best.
Zeng Shu looked at Chang Jinde's face, as soon as he saw his old face, Zeng Shu didn't come to his heart and softened, thinking of his master Zhengyang Zhangmen, Zhengyang Zhangmen did not break through to the Venerable, and the black-faced ghost has been trapped in the realm of laymen for many years, and it was hoped that he would break through in these two years, but because of the incident that the senior brother asked for a split, the Zhengyang head was in turmoil, and he didn't put his mind on the breakthrough at all, but on the fight with the senior brother, and there was a tendency to go crazy, fortunately, Zeng Shu found it in time and successfully stifled this trend, but the emotions of the Zhengyang head fell to the bottom, plus physical reasons, I'm afraid there is no hope of breaking through in a short period of time, which also makes Zeng Shu very worried.
Zeng Shu sighed and said, "There is no distinction between the so-called porcelain and pottery, only the rough and elegant style, do you understand what I mean?"
Chang Jinde was a little puzzled, and Zeng Shu continued: "I can't blame you, the style object you have been imitating, if you guess correctly, it should be the style of the four mountain people." ”
Chang Jinde was a little surprised and said, "You know this?"
Zeng Shu nodded and said: "Because I have also read the works left by the four mountain people, but unfortunately it is a copy, and there are still a lot of defects, the real work should be in your hands, right?"
Chang Jinde nodded and said: "Actually, I also found it unintentionally, I still remember that year I just made some progress in Mexico, and I officially stepped into the upper class of Mexico, once at an auction, I bought a set of ancient books, and this authentic work was mixed in it. ”
Zeng Shu nodded, and continued to drink tea without continuing the topic, which made Chang Jinde a little embarrassed, and he was even ready to go home and take out the real works, but Zeng Shu did not continue to talk? Could it be that Zeng Shu had no interest in the real works of the Four Great Mountain People? You must know that this is the famous Four Great Mountain People!
Chang Jinde really got it right! Zeng Shu was not very interested in the four mountain people, and even if Chang Jinde found out the true works of the first person recognized throughout the ages, the land immortal 'Wind God', Zeng Shu didn't have much desire, just like he said to Liu Zhendong, he already had his own 'Dao', even if Liu Zhendong's exercises were magical, even if he could break through to the realm of heaven and man, Zeng Shu's heart still didn't have the slightest desire to possess, which was also an important reason why Zeng Shu was able to cultivate to Venerable at a young age.
Zeng Shu put down the teacup, looked at Liu Zhendong in front of the window, and said to himself: "Senior brother seems to have entered the stage of epiphany. ”
Chang Jinde also noticed Liu Zhendong on the windowsill, and just now he found that Liu Zhendong was wrong, so he asked Chang Yulian not to disturb Liu Zhendong.
Liu Zhendong did not enter the so-called state of epiphany, but only keenly discovered the prototype of the 'realm' and 'domain' that he was comfortable with.
Although Zeng Shu did not use a trace of the 'domain', because the 'domain' is an extension or sublimation of the 'realm', he can peek into the appearance of the 'domain' from the displayed 'realm'.
Whether it is the so-called 'realm' or 'domain', in fact, to put it simply, it is all about the spirit and spirit.
After all, nothing can be separated from the spirit and spirit, and the Venerable realm is still a human being, not a god, so naturally it cannot be separated from the big framework of the spirit and spirit.
Liu Zhendong was thinking about it just now, why Chang Jinde's Heaven and Earth Collapse contains such a huge amount of spirit power, and it can still be easily resolved by Zeng Shu, you must know that Zeng Shu's move is very familiar to him, and Zeng Shu did not release too much innate qi, according to the total amount of Chang Jinde's spirit and Zeng Shu's innate qi, Chang Jinde's spirit power is about twenty times that of Zeng Shu's innate qi!
The final result was obvious, Chang Jinde was completely defeated or defeated, not only did he not break through the defense of the innate qi that he was comfortable with, but he was also severely damaged by the residual innate qi in his body, causing a serious disorder of essence and qi.
At first, Liu Zhendong thought that Zeng Shu's innate qi was very special, after all, he had also fought against Zeng Shu, the total amount of innate qi contained in the Xiaozhu Immortal Array was similar to today's situation, and he was also dozens of times that Zeng Shu released his innate qi at the beginning, and he was still suppressed by Zeng Shu, and he had no advantage at all.
But Liu Zhendong thought about it carefully, and keenly noticed the difference between the two, today's Zeng Shu not only suppressed Chang Jinde in the innate qi, but also released other things, and it was this thing that caused the disorder of Chang Jinde's subsequent internal spirit, in combination with the changes in the spirit and spirit in the surrounding natural environment, Liu Zhendong understood, this may be Zeng Shu's 'realm'! That is, the unique logo of His Holiness.
Liu Zhendong is now in a deep meditative state, and he is not running the exercises, but carefully recalling the details of the battle just now, and going through it over and over again from beginning to end.
In Liu Zhendong's mind, there were the leaves that had just fallen and the dust on the ground, and a large number of images of the spirit and spirit appeared in his mind.
The changes in the spirit around the fictional 'Zeng Shu', and the changes in the spirit and spirit of 'Chang Jinde' when he runs.
Like slow motion, the process of the battle between the two began to slowly unfold frame by frame, and suddenly Liu Zhendong felt that something was wrong, rewinded the movements of the two, reached out and touched the spirit beside 'Zeng Shu', and muttered to himself: "It's strange, why does it work like this, this is a violation of the basic rules." ”
The essence of nature, such as the spirit of the tree, is not unconsciously chaotic, but operates according to a certain law, and the monk who dares to cultivate can see the healthy state of a tree from the content of the essence, and the monk who has been cultivating for a longer time will not only observe the total amount but also observe the activity and ups and downs of the essence, and then the monk who has been practicing for a long time, such as Liu Zhendong, will not only observe all of the above, but also analyze the line of the spirit.
Liu Zhendong has mastered some of the general laws in his previous research, and he is quite familiar with the spirit and spirit in the backyard, after all, he has to observe and transfer the spirit and spirit state of the animals and plants in the backyard if he has nothing to do, so he can be sure that there was a serious problem with the operation of the trees just now.
Since trees are 'non-active' plants, the operation of the spirit depends entirely on instinct, and it is difficult to deviate too much, which shows that the culprit of the great deviation is either Zeng Shu or Chang Jinde.
After careful recollection, Liu Zhendong found that both of them have changed the spirit and spirit around them, and from the perspective of the magnitude of the change, Chang Jinde's influence is a little greater, and Zeng Shu's influence is not too great, but from the perspective of the results, Zeng Shu's destructive power is quite amazing! It seems to be an understatement, and the consequences are far beyond Chang Jinde, who is like thunder.
As for how the two have changed and how they have changed, Liu Zhendong has no clear ideas, but only has some assumptions, and the verification results need to be done himself to know the accuracy of the inference.
"Senior brother, it's time to eat!" Zeng Shu's comfortable voice shattered the illusory battle scene that Liu Zhendong had imagined.
After Liu Zhendong opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of people sitting at the table, Chang Jinde's figure was gone, Chang Yulian, Chang Yuting and Ying Zi were already sitting in their positions, waiting for Liu Zhendong to take a seat.
Liu Zhendong came back to his senses and asked, "Uncle Chang left?"
Zeng Shu nodded and said, "Yes, what do you say I'm coming tomorrow, let's go, Senior Brother, I really can't help it, I'm so hungry, but you have been immersed in your own world, I have no choice but to wake you up, it doesn't affect Senior Brother, right?"
Liu Zhendong shook his head and said, "There is no impact, I have already deduced that it is almost done, only verification remains, let's eat first." ”
After sitting down, Zeng Shu asked, "Senior brother was thinking about the battle between me and Uncle Chang just now, right? ”
Liu Zhendong squinted his eyes and said, "That's right, what the junior brother showed just now was the skill of the Venerable, the so-called realm, right?"
Zeng Shu nodded and said: "That's right, it's the so-called realm, in fact, the realm and the domain are very easy to explain, that is, your own understanding of the essence and spirit, and then let the surrounding spirit run in the rules you think, which forms the so-called realm, the domain, that is, in the upper layer, in addition to leading, there are changes, as for the upper layer, it is the ultimate goal of our monks, the so-called realm of heaven and man, not only change but creation!"
Liu Zhendong's eyes lit up, and said: "It's a little interesting, leading and changing, and creating! I see, I understand the relationship, no wonder you release very little innate qi, but you can defeat a large amount of my innate qi, I thought it was the particularity of your innate qi, but I didn't expect you to directly guide my innate qi." ”
Zeng Shu shook his head and said: "Senior brother is wrong, my innate qi is quite special, and the last time I practiced with my senior brother, I didn't guide it, that is, I didn't release it." ”
Liu Zhendong's chopsticks were about to be frightened, and he said, "What? The last time you sparred with me, you didn't even release the realm? Are you kidding me? Are I thinking in the wrong direction today?"
