For the same thing, there is obviously a simpler method, but just because that method is too simple, it makes people doubt its authenticity. Between this hesitation and hesitation, choosing other methods seems to make people feel uncomfortable. I feel relieved, but in fact I have taken a long detour.
Everything in the world is like this. Where can we explain the truth?
Although Qingyangzi understood the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue back then and made great progress in his Taoism, at that time he was already discouraged and had no intention of succeeding to the position of leader. For various reasons, he would rather be a tracer. The uncertain Xianyun Yehe, in exchange, handed over three of the Qingyang Royal Flame Jue that Wu Shi had obtained.
Originally, according to Zhong Ding's request, Qingyangzi had to hand over far more than the Middle Three Techniques, as well as the Shang San Jue, which he had just realized not long ago; The mysteries and mysteries involved have not yet been fully understood. Moreover, since it is difficult to explain in words the meaning gained from enlightening the stone, it is difficult for him to perform it, let alone spread the technique. Naturally, this method will not work. Secondly, it is because of the bell and tripod. Due to his limited understanding, even if Qingyangzi handed over all the three techniques, he would not only be unable to learn them, but would also hinder his practice. However, Zhong Ding was still unwilling to give up, so Qingyangzi finally only surrendered the only technique he had thoroughly understood. The first of the three tactics, Jinwu Zhuri, was handed over together with the middle three tactics.
To this day, Qingyangzi does not know to what extent Zhong Ding has practiced the Golden Crow style day by day. However, the three techniques Zhong Ding obtained when he first realized the stone are completely different from what Qingyangzi realized. When it comes to the method of interrupting the flow of water, one is very simple and the other is very complex. It can be said that they are completely different.
After Zhong Ding obtained the skills handed over by Qingyangzi, he also compared the three secrets that Qingyangzi had realized with his own. At that time, he was greatly shocked, and even vaguely shaken in his Taoist heart. .
The difference between the two is like using a sword to cut off a leaf on a branch of a big tree. Qingyangzi's method is to directly swing out the sword, and the sword energy will pass through, and the leaves will fall down. However, Zhong Ding's method was to cut down the big tree first, then cut off the branch, and then cut off the leaves on it with a sword. The twists and turns made sense.
In the end, Zhong Ding did not give up on the Three Middle Techniques he had originally learned. Instead, he put the Three Middle Techniques given by Qingyangzi on a high shelf. It seemed that as long as he abandoned the techniques he had learned and modified Qingyangzi's The method is to completely deny the path one has taken in the past. This is equivalent to denying all one's past. So where can the current path lead?
Just keeping Qingyangzi's great and simple merits is not only an eyesore, but even turning a blind eye is a thorn in his heart. Therefore, Zhongding not only did not practice, but chose to keep it secret. The final result was the Qingyang Sect. Everyone knows that Elder Qingyangzi has understood the upper three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, but no one knows that these three techniques are derived step by step from the middle three techniques, and no one knows that this elder's skills are all What kind of appearance, what step has his conduct reached now.
They know it but don’t know why. The name Qingyangzi represents his strength, but he doesn’t know where the strength lies. He is the symbol of Qingyang Sect in the world of immortality, but no one knows the reason. It’s just because of his strong Taoism. I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone.
During a trip to Liangzhou, Qingyangzi met Gu Chen and fell in love at first sight.
Gu Chen reminded him of himself when he was young, and also reminded him of someone he missed deeply, so he had the idea of accepting Gu Chen as his disciple. This thought made Qingyangzi unable to contain himself throughout his life. When he came down, ripples rarely appeared in the already dead lake of his heart, and they spread out.
As the only person in the Qingyang Sect who has understood the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, Qingyangzi did not think about what kind of trouble would be caused once he accepted a disciple. He cherished the fate, so he thought about settling the matter, until the matter of accepting disciples was blocked later. In front of the sect, Qingyangzi finally chose to take a step back and regarded Gu Chen as his adopted son.
The adopted son seems to be closer than the apprentice, but in this way, he cannot teach him the Qingyang Sect's cultivation techniques. Even if he gets the chance to realize the stone for Gu Chen, he will only get it once after all. You must know that the enlightenment method This move, the slow flow of water, the awakening of Jingzhe only determines the direction of his own road. If he does not pave the way again and again and make diligent corrections, I am afraid that this road will go crooked and full of mistakes, so for Gu Chen's future On the road of spiritual practice, Qingyangzi had headaches but no worries.
Gu Chen is not only the adopted son of his Qingyang sect, but also the former Kunlun Daozi. When it comes to martial arts, as long as he is willing, his previous martial arts are no worse than those of the Qingyang sect. In comparison, Liu Zhen's current martial arts are on the contrary. It can be said that he is his successor in the true sense. Although Qingyangzi did not like him, this person's understanding is extremely high, which is completely beyond Qingyangzi's expectation.
Perhaps this is also another form of fate. After all, fate is said to be illusory. It is often the flowers planted intentionally that do not bloom and the willows planted unintentionally that create shade. It is rare and difficult to explain. This is fairy fate.
It's just, what a pity.
"master……"
Liu Zhen was a little uneasy. The sword strike just now was so ordinary that he didn't have much confidence. However, Qingyangzi didn't speak after seeing it, which made him nervous.
Qingyangzi looked at him and said: "With your qualifications and character, it would be a pity not to understand the stone."
Liu Zhen was slightly frightened, and without thinking he shook his head repeatedly and said in a sonorous tone: "Master, I have self-awareness. Even if I go to Wushi with my qualifications and mind, I will be able to obtain the three techniques, but I will not be able to master them. However, from the beginning to the end, the disciple, They all aim at the top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue!"
These words express his understanding and affirmation of himself, and also demonstrate his confidence. Similarly, they also reveal his pursuit of the three techniques.
Qingyangzi looked at him deeply and said, "So, in your heart, Wu Shi's outcome has already been determined."
Not a question, but an affirmative statement.
Liu Zhen lowered his gaze, but nodded heavily, and said: "If I go to Wu Shi, I will definitely be able to obtain the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue. I have such confidence, but just winning the three techniques cannot satisfy me."
"Are you confident?" Qingyangzi whispered, knowing more about Liu Zhen's character.
In fact, what Liu Zhen said is not bad. Looking at all the disciples of Qingyang Sect, who dares to say that if he goes to Wu Shi, he will definitely get the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue? Not to mention the next three tactics, after all, there are many people who have gone in vain and gained nothing at all. It can even be said to be the majority.
However, Qingyangzi couldn't tell whether he admired Liu Zhen or was disappointed. He could only show a hint of understanding and said slowly: "Although the journey to enlightenment is based on qualifications and understanding, it has not been decided in advance."
Qingyangzi turned his head to look at the distant mountains, lost in thought in the direction of the main peak.
"It's as if those children are approaching the Sky Stone step by step. They need to make their own choices about how many steps they want to take and how many steps they should take. Maybe they can be very close to the Sky Stone, but the closer they are, the more powerful they will be. To help with understanding, sometimes too much is not enough, and too close is not good. But there are also times when there is still enough energy left to hold back, and the spirit of progress is lost, resulting in more losses than gains. It is everywhere, as if there are all kinds of tastes and things in the world without real experience. If you don’t taste it, you won’t understand it. If you don’t taste it yourself, how can you tell the difference between good and bad?”
Liu Zhen said anxiously: "Master, do you think... the disciple should learn about the stone?"
Qingyangzi looked away, turned around, and smiled faintly. Instead of answering Liu Zhen's question, he asked, "Do you regret it?"
Liu Zhen held his head high and said loudly: "I don't regret it."
Qingyangzi nodded with a smile and said, "That's good."
Looking at Qingyangzi's smile, Liu Zhen was in a daze. The faint wavering and hesitation in his heart became firm because of the faint smile. His mind changed, and all his attention returned to the cut off water flow. above.
