When Gu Chen stood up, the people at the peak felt that this person was about to retreat from the difficulty and retreat from the rhythm of the sky stone.
After all, the rhythm of the sky stone makes your soul tremble when you ask your heart. It is no small matter. If you are not qualified to move forward, but you still insist on staying there, it will not be a pleasant feeling.
Most of the people present are people who have completed the stone enlightenment. They know that feeling too well. Even if I think about it now, I still can't help but tremble physically and mentally.
Just when they had figured out how to mock this person who knew nothing about heaven and earth, who had caused uncontrollable topics since he came to Qingyang Sect, and who never made them happy with his every move, they saw that Gu Chen did not retreat, but Take another step forward.
They opened their mouths, and the peak suddenly fell silent.
Li Daqing clenched his fists and murmured: "Going forward... Why? Why can he still go forward?"
Gu Chen took one step forward and then stopped again.
When enlightening the stone, being questioned by the heavenly stone will cause doubts in the mind.
But in fact, the questions that everyone hears are different, because Tianshi's questions often vary from person to person.
This difference stems from the fact that the people who understand the stone have different qualifications and temperaments. In addition, they often hear more than one question. In addition to doubts arising from their own practice, there will also be questions of various sizes. The inner demons and distracting thoughts appeared one after another from nowhere due to the pull of the rhythm of the sky stone.
Invisibly, there is an extra layer of test when enlightening the stone. This test is to find out which question is the real question from the sky stone, and how well you answer it can determine your ability. How many steps forward.
If the answer is wrong, the journey to enlightenment will end early, and there will be no chance of any luck.
So often people stop, not because they can't answer the question of Tianshi, but because they don't even know what the real problem is with Tianshi. Only those with a clear mind and an extraordinary state of mind can have a chance to get rid of those inner demons and distracting thoughts. Influence.
But even if you can pass the first level test and truly face Tianshi's question and respond to it, that question is not that easy to answer.
Some questions point directly to the heart of the road, and some questions point directly to the front of the road. Those problems often appear in people after taking more than ten steps, and then make them hesitate and hesitate.
Naturally, there are some questions that are insignificant and only concern the various conditions of the world, daily necessities, daily necessities, and daily necessities. However, answering those questions may not necessarily lead to nothing, but it may not necessarily lead to a step forward. Those questions are often heard at the first one or two steps. .
As we move forward, the rhythm becomes stronger, and the problem of the sky stone will only become more and more difficult to solve.
But there has never been a time when someone just took one step and heard the doubts about the great road. No one could find the answer for themselves in this short period of time and get the approval of Tianshi.
At this moment, Gu Chen was like an unsheathed sword, the tip of the sword pointed straight ahead, with a clear goal, exuding an indomitable momentum, especially the sword shape formed by the meridians in his body, which exuded a sharp edge.
Understanding the stone, understanding the stone, has nothing to do with winning or losing, it only concerns the individual.
Tianshi had a question, and Gu Chen had an answer.
"What about the difficulty of the road?"
"It's just consistent."
Gu Chen took three steps forward.
The rhythm coming from the sky stone is stronger.
Not only were the inner demons appearing in his mind more and more, Gu Chen could even feel that his soul began to shake violently, turbulent, as if it might fly out of his body at any time and spread throughout the world.
This feeling made him feel dazed, and he felt vaguely about to deviate from his original intention, as if he was about to get lost here.
He stopped again.
Close your eyes, hold on to your mind, and at the same time peel away all the problems in your heart, cut off all the demons and distractions in your heart, and only a transparent and bright sword is left to guard your soul.
That sword was spinning round and round. It was not only his Taoist heart, but also his sword heart.
The sword's heart is straight, like the word "一".
Gu Chen made up his mind at this time that his path was at his feet and he wanted to become a swordsman.
At this moment, his heart opened up, and a force came from under his feet, which actually suppressed the rhythm and pressure of the sky stone. At this time, the problem of the sky stone had not really been grasped by him, but it had disappeared into thin air, and he had already He involuntarily took two more steps forward.
After completely standing still, there was no back pressure, but he still stood firm.
From the moment he took the first step and stopped until he reached the seventh step and stood still, Gu Chen's every move was seen by the onlookers.
Many people looked miserable. Thinking that they could not even take a step forward, they had no shame to stay here and watch. Their steps moved slightly, but they did not turn around and leave after all, because they couldn't help but care about how far Gu Chen could go. .
Li Daqing shook his body and sat down on the ground slumped.
He looked at Gu Chen and then at Chen Ying on the other side who was walking further ahead. He remembered that Chen Ying had been walking one step at a time before, but he had just moved forward step by step and reached the eighteenth step.
Now, although Gu Chen has paused, he is still moving forward. The situation is similar to Chen Ying's. Who can say at this time that Gu Chen will end here?
That is the middle line of the connection between the two stones. It hides the mystery of Wu Shi and the second chance of Wu Shi.
Li Daqing had taken eighteen steps on that line before, and then stopped. Because he had gained something, he could move forward towards Sunstone for the second time.
Don't look at Chen Ying who stopped at the eighteenth step at this time, but those eighteen steps were towards Rishi. Before, on the middle line, Chen Ying also took a full forty-eight steps.
Li Daqing hoped that Gu Chen would stop at the seventh step and retreat when he saw the difficulty. However, Li Daqing was not sure whether this seventh step would be difficult for Gu Chen. The ominous premonition in his heart was even worse. It was so intense that he wanted to leave this place immediately, out of sight and out of mind, but he was unwilling to leave like this.
During this journey of enlightening one's true nature, no one could understand why a mere Gu Chen had done nothing after coming to Qingyang Gate. With just a few changes of identity, he almost became one of them. inner demons.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a lot of negative emotions coming towards him. He felt a lot of hostility, big and small.
Gu Chen couldn't be sure whether these hostility came from Tianshi, or some hidden evil thoughts deep in his heart, but at this moment, he heard Tianshi's voice again, among the many noises stand out.
"So what if the Tao is different?"
People who are acquaintances and from the same sect end up going in opposite directions, just because their ways are different, so they do not conspire with each other.
For some reason, Gu Chen thought of Li Yuanmu, and then he shook his head, thinking that Junior Brother Li was just too high-spirited, and that Junior Brother Li's qualifications were not bad. Although he practiced slowly, he was a late bloomer, and the road under his feet was as smooth as a smooth road. We will reach the same destination through different paths and come together. Then he thought of Qingyangzi again.
Qingyangzi was originally brought back to Qingyangmen because he wanted to form a good relationship between master and apprentice. Although Gu Chen never really agreed with this in his heart, the various complications in Qingyangmen made Qingyangzi's wish come true. Now, Doesn't it also mean that there are differences between them?
Then Gu Chen thought of Liu Zhen, the genius of the Qingyang Clan who was five years older than him. He wanted to learn the first three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue that Qingyangzi had learned. For this reason, he rejected the wishes of other teachers. He just wanted to become Qingyangzi's teacher, and even gave up the opportunity to learn about the stone.
Everyone in the Qingyang Sect said that Liu Zhen was truly dedicated to the Tao, but Gu Chen felt that there was more than one road, but the road could only be walked alone. If you only took the road under the feet of others, it would be difficult to reach the end in the end.
Gu Chen thought, this is the real difference.
But so what?
There are thousands of people in the world with different ideas, and there are thousands of roads. The road to immortality is long. Sometimes while walking, I find that those people who have been by my side suddenly disappear. This, For Gu Chen, who abandoned his cultivation and lived on the streets of Qingmu Town, Liangzhou from Kunlun Mountain, he had a deep understanding of this.
Even though the paths are different, we will always meet, at least we have met before.
Gu Chen said softly: "It's all in one heart."
