The cool seven-stringed sound, quietly listening to the wind in the bamboo forest.
One is that his family has suffered a change and he is living in a foreign country; the other is that his path to spiritual practice has been cut off and he has no choice but to start a family, start a career, marry a wife and have children. There is endless loneliness and endless helplessness.
One is to read a lot of books, cover everything, and see all the prosperity and changes in the world.
One is experiencing the vast world, conquering the wind and clouds, but unable to survive immortality in the human world.
Two different journeys, dissipated in the ruthless years.
We finally met in this bamboo forest cool hall, turning into mottled shadows on the ground, swaying in the cold wind.
Master Jiang was born in a noble family and had read a lot of books. He knew that there was a path to practice in the world. He could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, aiming for immortality. A warrior could also reach the strength of a thousand kilograms, fly with all his strength and jump three feet away. He could also hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves.
Whether it is pursuing spiritual practice or practicing martial arts. When you choose to do good, you can protect your safety and gain a reputation; when you do evil, you will ultimately be cast aside by the world and punished by the law.
However, there is no absolute fairness in the world. What you can see is benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, which is what the world wants to see, and it is also the example set by the aristocratic family; what you cannot see is how many dirty and dirty things have been submerged in the long river of time.
Just like where there is justice, there is evil; where there is noble character, there is shamelessness.
Fame and fortune are what the world longs for, what the world pursues, and they are addicted to them, making it difficult to extricate themselves.
Mortals spend most of their lives dedicated to the land. From being young and young, to being heroic, and finally getting old, what you can see is that the family is well fed, clothed, healthy, and peacefully living a simple life.
The afternoon sun is blurry and cannot stop the cold wind of winter, and wisps of cold air invade this small world.
The pot of hot water has reached the bottom, and more than an hour has passed without realizing it.
"Master Jiang, you should accept a few students and teach them how to read and write...". Yi Zheng said seriously, breaking the silence between the two people.
Master Jiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then said calmly: "Yes! It should have been like this a long time ago." After saying that, he burst into laughter.
The past can never come back. Now that my life is stable, I usually teach and play the piano. Isn't this the life I want?
Master Jiang suddenly felt what he was feeling, then he closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees and held them together, staying still...
For a moment, the aura around the body surged, and the bamboo forest seemed to have become spiritual, and they all nodded in greeting to Master Jiang.
It turned out that Master Jiang let go of his obsessions, and in a flash his thoughts were clear. His martial arts cultivation, which was stuck at the peak of the acquired world, suddenly broke through the entrance and reached the innate realm.
Heaven and man are one, and thoughts are clear. It is not only a dream state for warriors, but also a dream state for practitioners. In such a state, it is much easier to break through whether it is martial arts cultivation or spiritual realm.
In such an environment, if other people practice cultivation, it will also be of great benefit. It's a pity that Yi Zheng's Dantian was damaged in his early years, and now he is unable to practice. This opportunity was wasted, and he was secretly upset in his heart.
After a while, Master Jiang took a long breath, and his whole body suddenly became more energetic, and his lonely eyes now became deep and bright.
This is because Master Jiang has just entered the innate realm, and the realm has not yet completely stabilized, and he cannot contain the aura in his body. With hard work and practice, you will soon be able to restrain your splendor and return to the ordinary.
"Brother Yi, thanks to your reminder this time, I entered the realm of innateness and entered the coveted state of unity between man and nature. Otherwise, I would have been hopeless in this life. I am grateful for this unexpected gain!" Master Jiang sincerely said said.
Nowadays, the Daqi Dynasty advocates culture and martial arts. If a large family does not have an innate master in charge, it will not exist for a long time and will soon be replaced by other families. Therefore, aristocratic families never lag behind others in cultivating talents, and there is never a shortage of innate masters.
"Master Jiang, you have already accumulated enough. If not for something unexpected, you would have already entered Xiantian. You can call us whatever you want in private, but you must not say that when the old man is present." Yi Zheng said slowly.
"I am in my 60s, and I can become a lifelong friend with you, my little friend. God has treated me well...". Master Jiang said sincerely.
Suddenly, the cheerful laughter of two children came from the front yard, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
I got up and went to the front yard, but I saw two children. You stepped on my shadow, I rolled your shadow, you chased me, they bumped into each other from time to time, fell to the ground, and then got up again, it was very funny. Very happy.
There was a knock on the door, and the old housekeeper Zhishan opened the door.
A slightly wealthy middle-aged man with a large face and big ears, dressed in silk and satin, with a jade pendant hanging from a jade belt around his waist, was standing at the door with a smile, followed by a child and a servant.
It turned out to be his next-door neighbor Qian Tingfu, whom everyone was very familiar with.
"No need to blame Mr. Qian for visiting his humble abode and not being welcomed from far away!" Master Jiang walked over and said with cupped hands.
"Brother Yi is here, no wonder the sun is shining brightly today and he is in a happy mood, which is suitable for visiting friends." He said, taking the hand of the child next to him, crossing the threshold and coming to the yard.
"Eh...Master Jiang, you look a little different from usual. Your eyes are full of energy. Could it be that you have entered the innate realm?" Qian Tingfu asked in surprise.
Seeing the two men nodding, Qian Tingfu was secretly shocked. Being talented in martial arts is not something anyone can get into if they want to. My family is well-off, and I have taken countless precious Chinese medicines. I have only just reached the late stage of the acquired world, and I am still a step away from the peak of the acquired world. Although there is only a thin distance, I don’t know how long it will take to cross it.
If I hadn't seen the innate master's style before, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark. Today is the right place.
When I gave Mingyuan to Mr. Yi, I didn't expect that it would not be a loss. It was so worth it.
Not everyone is lucky enough to be neighbors with an innate master.
