Dedicate One’s Mind

Early the next morning, at the beginning of mid-spring, Wu Yi opened the door of the cave that had been closed for a long time, allowing bright sunlight to shine into the cave, driving away the turbid air that had been generated by being closed for a long time.

Temporarily putting down the burden of cultivation, Wu Yi felt extremely relaxed and at ease, and his perception of everything in the world became much more sensitive. Everything became more real in Wu Yi's eyes, and there was no longer a vague barrier between him and them. From the beginning, The viewer of the painting becomes the subject of the painting.

Comprehension of mountains and rivers, harmony with nature, and condensation of mind are also a way of cultivating Taoism and cultivating the relationship between heaven and man. Many monks in ancient times followed this path. Although they were not strong in fighting, they were the most powerful. You can be carefree and unrestrained, but your life span is long.

But today, if you are not a monk from the Jishan sect who likes to be kind to others and willing to give charity, it will be difficult to follow this path, because as a monk, you are going against heaven. The monastic world as a whole is a pyramid, and the higher you go to the upper levels, the fewer monks you have.

If you are unwilling to stand still, you will inevitably have struggles with others. If you have struggles with other monks, you will be involved in the torrent of humanity. It is impossible to be in harmony with nature. This is the essential contradiction between monks. As long as the monks have a clear understanding of the great road As long as the attachment persists, this contradiction will not be resolved.

In ancient times, this path was popular because resources were abundant. Spiritual materials and medicines were everywhere. All races lived in peace with each other. There were few conflicts among monks. As the calamity flowed and humanity became entangled, this path also weakened. .

Although the most primitive method of interaction between heaven and man has declined, later generations have found new ways to avoid the word, or reincarnation or incarnation to escape the world. It is not necessary to have no desires and pursuits and cling to mountains and rivers like in ancient times.

For monks, the further they progress in cultivation, the higher the requirements for their character. The character of character that originally had little impact at the beginning of cultivation sometimes even becomes a difficulty that hinders the monks from breaking through.

There are two ways to refine and improve one's mind, one is to enter the world, and the other is to be born out of the world. The method of communicating with nature and man obviously belongs to the latter.

Although joining the world to temper one's character is quick and effective, it is also very easy to get trapped in the world of mortals and find it difficult to escape. When monks reach the point of cultivating their character and need to refine their character, their cultivation level will not be low, and the most important thing is to cherish their lives and protect their bodies.

If he hadn't been forced by others, he would not have taken the initiative to train in the mortal world. For monks, joining the world was not an option for most monks, and being born out of the world was the mainstream. Find peace in the mountains and rivers, forget about impatience, and make steady progress, isn't it more stable than floating in the torrent of human nature?

Wu Yi looked at the spring in his eyes, which was full of vitality, lush and intoxicating. Although he wanted to stay, he knew that this was impossible.

He has been involved in the whirlpool of humanity and is not yet qualified to escape from this whirlpool. He can only spiral in the whirlpool with the current, and his destiny is not under his control. Wu Yi's thoughts gradually wandered and he was no longer here.

"Junior brother, are you enjoying the spring? I'm so excited." Li Gu's voice came from the plank road, awakening Wu Yi who was thinking a lot.

Wu Yi saw another person next to Li Gu. He should have met him a few times, but he had never talked to him. He was not familiar with this person, but he was definitely from the same Taoist temple. Wu Yi didn't know who this person was, but Li Gu Gu should be able to introduce me, so I didn’t ask.

Wu Yi replied: "Yes, in a few days there will be a battle for the true inheritance. After becoming the true inheritance, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back. After all, I have practiced here for many years, and I need to remember every plant and tree here."

Li Gu squeezed out a smile and did not pay attention to the true feelings in Wu Yi's mouth. Instead, he was attracted by the arrogance in Wu Yi's mouth and became the true disciple. Wu Yi was so confident that he would be able to become the true disciple. How many Taoist temples have not had a true disciple for many years? , the position of true successor is not so easy to obtain.

However, thinking of the evil spirits that Wu Yi raised, Li Gu swallowed the words that came to his mouth and changed the topic: "Junior brother, you started late and have been practicing in the outside world for a long time. Even in the mountain gate, you have been practicing hard all day long. I don’t want to make friends, and I guess I’m not very familiar with the fellow Taoists in the mountain gate, so I’d like to introduce you to a fellow Taoist.” Li Gu pushed the Taoist priest behind him to the front.

"Zheng Guangming, Senior Brother Zheng, is one of the three deacons of Shanmen, Deacon Si Yi. He also devotes himself to practicing all day long. Senior Brother has also participated in the True Inheritance Contest before. Junior Brother, you can learn from Senior Brother Zheng's experience."

"Junior Brother Li's false praise should not be taken seriously. Zheng is just a failure, but Junior Brother Wu is a young talent. He will definitely succeed this time."

Zheng Guangming seemed very humble. He glanced at Wu Yi and then lowered his head and waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't know whether it was due to being squeezed out by other people in the mountain gate or because of his nature.

As the host, Wu Yi did not dwell on Zheng Guangming's previous participation in the True Inheritance Controversy, and politely invited them into the cave. Due to the lack of servants, Wu Yi simply sent a few spirit ghosts out to entertain the guests. The novelty was in line with Wu Yi's style outside. image.

The spirit ghosts brought out some medicinal liquid that was filled with light spiritual energy and fragrant, and said: "The spiritual liquid brewed from some medicinal herbs is now ready for tea. I have been practicing in seclusion all day, and I have not prepared any of this. However, it is Wu who entertains guests." Too bad."

As a disciple of our family, Li Gu naturally looked down on these things, but he was not here to drink tea today, and he didn't care about it. He took a sip and stopped drinking. As for Zheng Guangming, who was humble to begin with, he had no objection.

If he guessed correctly, Li Gu brought Zheng Guangming here today to tell Wu Yi that he planned to draw Zheng Guangming into the alliance, so that Wu Yi could see whether Zheng Guangming was qualified.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Li Gu said to Wu Yi: "Junior brother, the battle for the true inheritance is extremely dangerous. Only you and me are still weak. It just so happens that Zheng Daoyou and we are from the same Taoist temple and know the basics. If the quota for the True Inheritance Competition is not strict by then, why don’t you let Zheng Daoyou join us? What do you think?”

From an angle that Zheng Guangming could not see, Li Gu winked at Wu Yi, but how could Wu Yi be that ignorant person who knew that Li Gu and Zheng Guangming had secretly reached an agreement before Li Gu arrived, and did not know that Zheng Guangming gave Li What's the benefit?

Obviously, Li Gu came here today to share this benefit with Wu Yi. After understanding Wu Yi's strength, Li Gu did not have the courage to pocket the benefit.

Wu Yi did not refuse, smiled kindly, and said: "It is a good thing that Senior Brother Zheng joins us. It just so happens that I also feel that the two of us are weak on our own."

Li Gu turned his face towards Zheng Guangming and showed an attitude like "I knew it would be like this". Zheng Guangming knew Wu Yi's strength and was more aware of the benefits of Wu Yi's willingness to form an alliance with him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Guangming said gratefully: "Thank you, junior brother, for not giving up. I will definitely not hold him back."

After talking for a while, Zheng Guangming left first, while Li Gu stayed here. Wu Yi knew that the real drama was coming. The previous agreement with Zheng Guangming was just a verbal agreement, and it didn't count. If Wu Yi and Li Gu didn't reach an agreement later, What I said before is just nonsense.

After glancing at Wu Yi, Li Gu considered his words and said slowly: "Junior brother should be thinking about why I want Zheng Guangming to join our alliance now."

Wu Yi smiled, noncommittal, and waited for the next sentence.

"Zheng Guangming's certificate of submission is a purple clear spirit stone." Li Gu said softly.

Wu Yi frowned and looked at Li Gu doubtfully. He had never heard of Ziqing Lingqiao Stone.

Li Gu knew from Wu Yi's expression that he was unclear, and explained: "The Ziqing Lingqiao Stone is said to contain this trace of Ziqing Qi that has not been dispersed since ancient times. It has infinite blessings and can blend the three paths when the monk breaks through the golden elixir. The quality of Chengdan.”

Wu Yi automatically filtered out the so-called purple energy that has not been dissipated from ancient times. It was really so magical. It had been taken away by the powerful a long time ago. How could it be the turn of young monks like them, but the quality of the improved elixir should be said. It's not false, otherwise Li Gu wouldn't be so serious.

"Did Zheng Guangming give you the Ziqing Lingqiao Stone?"

Li Gu shook his head in embarrassment, "Zheng Guangming saw this object at the place where the true inheritance battle was held before. The place is hidden and no one should have discovered it yet."

"Should it? Did Zheng Guangming just give you empty words?" Wu Yi's voice gradually became louder. With Li Gu's temperament, it must not be that simple. How can a painting cake satisfy him? Zheng Guangming must have other agreements with him. .

"Zheng Guangming is a descendant of the Zheng family in Qingqu County. Although he is a commoner, if he becomes a true successor, his status will naturally increase. And the Zheng family and my Li family have been friends for generations." Li Gu said another reason.

"If this happens, I will not treat my junior brother badly." Li Gu vowed.

Wu Yi thought about it. He owed the booklet Li Gu sent to him before, but he didn't expect to pay it back so soon. He also sensed Zheng Guangming's previous cultivation, which was at its peak in the early stage of foundation building. Soon It will be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, which is not a drag. Wu Yi's current cultivation level is also in the early stage of foundation building, but he can't understand it with common sense as he has cultivated several paths at the same time.

Wu Yi said: "Then just do what senior brother said."

"Although I don't know how many Ziqing Lingqiao stones there are, even if there is only one, I will definitely share it with my junior brother." Li Gu pointed to the sky with a serious face.

Although Wu Yi didn't care about these in his heart, he could believe what the monk said without relying on the legal deed. He was joking, but people are inherently hypocritical animals. He said: "Brother, what are you doing? It's also good for us if Brother Zheng joins us." It’s a good thing, why is it like this?”

Li Gu thanked him and left Wu Yi's cave. Wu Yi watched Li Gu leave without closing the door, because he knew that Li Gu would come again soon.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Gu came in with Zheng Guangming again. Zheng Guangming probably didn't eavesdrop on what they said, otherwise Wu Yi would have noticed and came out, but he probably didn't go far, otherwise he wouldn't have come back so soon.

Now is the time to be truly honest.

"Zheng promises that the promise he made before will never be false." Zheng Guangming's first words when he came here were completely different from the timid appearance before. He also knew that if he still looked coy at this time, Wu Yi would be suspicious. , so he said this resolutely.

But the legal deed signed next is the real guarantee. With Li Gu as the middleman, the legal deed was signed easily.

After the legal deed was signed, the three people couldn't help but look at each other and laugh to the sky, but the meanings in their laughter were different.

I felt sleepy after writing a thousand words at noon. It was the first time I spent my evening self-study time writing a novel. The separation between writing and studying that Sanren had insisted on for a long time was broken today.
