Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 131 Finally Entering the Xuan Qi Zong

The enlightened one is my heart.

Youdao is one person, one comprehension, which can only be understood, but it is difficult to express it in words.

Each of us has different insights, perceptions, understanding and analysis of the world. Although these abilities can also be improved through exercise, it only improves the lower limit of the whole-the upper limit of talent, Margin and depth are really irreversible by manpower.

Whether it is Buddhism, Confucianism, or Taoism, at the end of the practice, you have to pass the word "enlightenment".

Start from the very beginning of learning: learning is for knowing. If you know a lot, you will be able to understand it. If you understand it to the extreme, you can think about it. Only when you think about it at the end... can you understand.

Of course, if you are some kind of immortal reincarnated, god descended to the earth, you will be enlightened when you see things, and you will be enlightened when you are enlightened, and you can practice rapidly... Then you are cruel, and it is not an exaggeration to call you a "innate master".

But most of the seekers in this world are mortals, and they still have to start with "learning" and go up step by step.

The stone steps in front of the Xuanqi Sect's mountain gate symbolize this "road to seek Taoism". Due to the different understandings of each person, the difficulty of climbing up is also different.

When I first walked up the stone steps, it was the stage of "learning".

At this stage, every time a person takes a step on the stone steps, he will feel as if he is stepping on an irregularly shaped object. Stone steps have any unevenness.

When you gradually adapt to this change, that is, you have reached the node of "knowledge", you will enter the next stage, which is the road to "communication".

In this section, in addition to retaining the "irregular trampling feeling" of the previous stage, the "gravity" on each step of the stone steps will also change: maybe when you take a step, you still feel that your feet are stuck in a quagmire, and you have to It takes a lot of effort to lift the knee, but at the next step, if you use the same force to lift the leg, you will lift it too high and too hard, and you will lose your balance.

This change of "lightness" and "heavyness" is also random, and the climber needs to slowly understand and adapt to it...

If you even get used to this, you can go to the last section, which is the section from "communication" and "thinking".

From here, in addition to the abnormalities of the stone steps, the environment around you will also start to change. There will be a strong mountain wind blowing beside you, and the wind will continue to change direction. The surface of the stone steps under your feet , There will also be a thin layer of frost, making it easier to slip when you step on it.

And if you finish this section, you can see the top of the mountain.

Some people may ask, how did you reach the top at the stage of "thinking"?What about "enlightenment"?

Nonsense, if you have already enlightened after walking the mountain road, what teacher do you still worship?
Furthermore, the stone steps are only a tool to test the understanding of beginners after all. It does not mean that you have really reached the stage of "thinking" after walking the stone steps-walking the stone steps is nothing more than It is to roughly estimate the state you can reach and how many years it will take to reach this state.

In fact, generally speaking, as long as you can go to the "second stage", it's over, and it doesn't matter if you can't go up the mountain. If you almost give up, someone will pick you up the mountain.

However, it is not ruled out that there are those who are really low in aptitude... People who can't even finish the first stage, like that, there is no way, even if Mysterious Qizong forcibly accepts you, you will not be able to learn anything, Letting you go up the mountain to do odd jobs and waste your life...it doesn't make any sense.

For example, Bai Ruhong, the "silver way" back then, got stuck in the stage of "learning"; he walked for days and nights, rolled down countless times, and really couldn't walk up, but he was very "shaft". ", refused to give up, and looked like he was going to die of exhaustion here to express his sincerity... The veteran Taoists of Xuan Qi Sect had no choice but to make an exception and lead him because of his excellent "character" before. He went up the mountain, taught him a set of martial arts for beginners, and counted him as a registered disciple.

But this kind of special case has been the only one for so many years, and to be honest, people in Xuan Qizong don't like Bai Ruhong very much, because Bai Ruhong's character is not in line with Xuan Qizong's "casual" and "natural" style. , so Bai Ruhong only stayed on the mountain for a few years, and was coaxed by his master to go down the mountain with an excuse of "you are more suitable for entering the world". The title of "Xuan Qi Sect" is said to be that the sect does not want to have too much connection with the secular world.

Of course, Bai Ruhong also followed his master's teachings sincerely. In the past few decades, he has never mentioned to anyone where he learned his martial arts.

It's a bit far away... Let's talk about Huang Donglai.

Brother Huang is indeed not stupid. Not long after walking up the stone steps, he figured out the law of the first stage.

But knowing the rules doesn’t mean you can get through it. It takes a process to get used to it. You have to practice it. As for how long it takes to master it, it depends on your talent.

Both Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie belong to the kind of people who think they are very talented, but they are slightly different in this area——

When Sun Yixie is learning something, he usually can't wait to say "I understand" to a thing he doesn't know much about, and then deceives himself, and then goes further and further on a wrong path, and reaches a place where he may not even be able to teach. A strange realm that none of his people have ever been to...

As for Huang Donglai, he is the type whose body can’t keep up with his brain, knowing is easier to do than doing; when he learns something, he may really “understand” it very quickly, but what he has understood at the theoretical level is not practical. When he did it, it was difficult for him to do it.

This is similar to how everyone present here usually feels when watching professional e-sports players playing games live. Maybe when you are a bystander, your thinking is very clear, your consciousness surpasses that of a master, and you can give advice to a player in the master group from the perspective of God, but in reality When you go up to play by yourself, your mind is blank and the bronze group is operated, and a gold group can hang you.

In the end, I can only comfort and convince myself with the sentence "I just don't have time to practice, if I practice hard, I will be invincible already".

However, Huang Donglai has one thing to be sure of. When he is really willing to work hard, or when he has to practice, he can still slowly let his body catch up with his mind.

Right now, anyway, he has already drank "Guiyuanlu", he is very energetic, and he has already walked to the mountain gate. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up this opportunity to "cultivate immortals" and go back. It was all for nothing.

Ever since, he bit the bullet and started his "climbing to the top" journey.

One day, two days...

On the third day, Huang Donglai's eyes had changed.

In the process of constantly slipping, rolling, climbing, and sliding again, his mentality was repeatedly polished between collapse and recovery.

Gradually, he will no longer be frustrated by slipping, nor will he have too much mood swings due to upward breakthroughs. In a more elegant and concise way, this is called "not to be surprised by favor or humiliation". The saying is - a "shaking M" was awakened.

Finally, at dusk on the third day, relying on muscle memory, that is, the tactile response that has penetrated into the bone marrow, Huang Donglai fully adapted to the stone steps of the first stage, and thus started the second stage...

Ordinarily, at any time after this, as long as he chooses to give up, someone will come to pick him up the mountain.

but……

Due to the change in mentality, Huang Donglai at this moment has no intention of giving up at all.

The sudden emergence of the law of gravity did not shake him, he just started a new round of exploration and practice more cautiously.

Chun Chenzi, who was watching him on the mountain, said in his heart: "It's bad, I shouldn't give Gui Yuanlu to him. Seeing his posture, he is planning to walk for seven days and seven nights."

He guessed right...

Huang Donglai continued to walk like this, and at noon on the sixth day, he successfully reached the third stage, which is the last stage.

In fact, he is really lucky. Most people can walk up the stone steps for three days at most, and if they don’t give up, they will not be exhausted or thirsty, but Huang Donglai took more than four days longer than others to challenge, and he has always been In a vigorous state.

The key point is that his mentality has never collapsed, or he has not completely given up when he collapsed, and he can recover every time. This is another important reason why he can keep going.

However, he failed to finish the stone steps after all.

On the evening of the sixth day, Chun Chenzi couldn't stand it any longer, so he airborne over, carried Huang Donglai up the mountain, and lied to him, "You have already passed the test when you come here, so you don't need to continue."

As for Huang Donglai, he also believed it. After all, he didn't know what was going to happen next. If he knew, maybe he would say, "Uncle Master, I should still last for a day or so. Let me try to climb to the top." How about it?" This kind of request came...

In any case, at this point, Huang Donglai finally "succeeded in apprenticeship" and officially entered this Shu Mountain - Xuanqi Sect.
