A teleportation array appeared next to the dean.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see a different world." The two stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared. The next moment they appeared in a huge city.
It was bustling with people, busy with traffic, and vendors everywhere. When acquaintances met, they all bowed to each other and behaved very politely.
What surprised Zhao Tianming was that none of the people here knew how to practice, they were all ordinary people.
In the distance, a funeral procession came. Paper money was scattered, and passers-by got out of the way and bowed slightly on the roadside with a look of sadness on their faces.
Zhao Tianming was stunned. Are humans so kind? This was something he had never seen before. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The world has always been filled with swords and swords. Human nature is inherently evil, this is what Zhao Tianming has learned all along.
But after walking on the street for a long time, Zhao Tianming felt extremely shocked. Everyone he met was very friendly and polite. There were no beggars on the road and everyone was very wealthy.
"What is this place?" Zhao Tianming asked curiously.
"Why is there no practitioner here?" He was too curious. The dean said: "This is an utopia. It is a special place that I have been building. People from outside can't come in, and people inside can't get out." Huh?
Zhao Tianming was dumbfounded and frowned: "They have no freedom and cannot see the outside world?"
"Yes, but they all live a good life, don't they?" Zhao Tianming pondered for a moment and sighed: "That's because they have never seen the real human world outside, that's why they are like this."
"If you are willing to give up, you will gain something." The dean said calmly. Zhao Tianming smiled bitterly. He didn't know why the dean did this, or what the significance of it was.
The dean didn't explain and took him to a noodle shop. Unexpectedly, the noodle shop owner actually recognized him.
The boss was an old man. He bowed to the dean and said, "Mr., are you still eating miscellaneous noodles today?" The dean smiled and shook his head: "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles."
"Okay, old sir, please sit down." Soon, two bowls of Yangchun noodles were served. The dean ate with gusto.
Zhao Tianming took a bite, but it was tasteless. Sure enough, it is Yangchun noodles. But the dean ate so well that Zhao Tianming couldn't stop eating, so he could only bite the bullet and finish the bowl of noodles.
"How does it taste?" The dean wiped his mouth, put down a few coins, and walked back to the street with Zhao Tianming, and asked casually.
Zhao Tianming shook his head: "I didn't taste much, it felt very ordinary. I'm curious, Dean, why do you eat it so well? Is it really that delicious?"
"Yes, isn't it delicious? This is the taste of the world. In fact, how to define what is delicious and what is unpalatable? It's all a matter of psychology. If you think it tastes good, then it is delicious. "Khan... Zhao Tianming doesn't agree with this.
But if I think about it carefully, I can't refute it. It seems to make some sense. The taste of the human world?
Is this what the human world is supposed to taste like? Just like when you are alive, when you think about your life after you die, it seems that it is so dull and boring.
The whole day, the dean took Zhao Tianming around the city. It seems boring.
"How do you feel?" At dusk, the dean and Zhao Tianming had arrived outside the city. This city is surrounded by high walls and has no gates. Once you leave the city and look back, the city slowly disappears.
Zhao Tianming frowned.
"Is this an illusion?" the dean said, "If you think it's true, it's true. If you think it's false, it's false. It doesn't matter if it's true or false." Zhao Tianming was speechless.
The dean and he are having a fight. The problem is, he feels a little big-headed. The dean continued: "How do you feel today?"
"No!" Zhao Tianming shook his head honestly. The dean's brows furrowed.
"The smell of the world, do you know why I brought you here?" Zhao Tianming said, "I don't know."
"Don't you want to become stronger? I'm teaching you how to practice." Poof... Zhao Tianming almost fell down.
"Is this the beginning?"
"It started a long time ago." The dean nodded. Zhao Tianming didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he said truthfully: "But, I really didn't feel anything." The dean thought for a while and said, "I said that practice is to cultivate the mind. What I am teaching you now is to cultivate the ordinary mind. If the mind is cultivated well, Once you have achieved it, you will naturally be able to break through the realm. It is all a matter of course. If you want to control the power of the source, you must have a deeper understanding of the world. Otherwise, you will not be able to feel the power of the source at all, let alone It's said that you can control the power of the source, and you must be recognized by the world before you can control the power of the source. Do you understand?" It was obvious that the dean was not joking.
Zhao Tianming finally became serious.
"I seem to understand a little bit, but I need to think." The dean was stunned and said, "Does this still need to be thought about?" Zhao Tianming rolled his eyes at him: "You are the dean, you are the spirit of this world. Of course you don't care, but I don't, I'm just an ordinary person."
"It seems that you have gained a lot." The dean laughed. ah? Zhao Tianming was a little confused.
"I didn't gain anything."
"It doesn't matter, you think about it, you think about it slowly, and when you understand it, I will take you to the next place." After the dean finished speaking, he disappeared.
Zhao Tianming couldn't laugh or cry. You left me here and went to live happily by yourself? Isn’t this too interesting?
But thinking about the dean's words, Zhao Tianming had to sit down and think slowly. This is an ideal city. The people here are ordinary, ordinary, kind, and polite... The Yangchun noodles are tasteless, but the dean's food is very delicious... the taste of the world.
It turns out that life is so boring, but you have to stand at a certain height before you can have such thoughts... Zhao Tianming sat cross-legged and began to think seriously.
Time passes day by day. He sat there for three months. On this day, he finally opened his eyes.
His realm has not improved at all, but his temperament has become a little different, especially his eyes, which are particularly lively, with a sense of indifference in his eyes.
He looked into the distance. There, a city faintly appeared. Zhao Tianming smiled. It turns out that this is the ordinary mind.
In three months, although he had not made any breakthrough, his swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds.
Can you really say that you have fully understood it? That's also a bit of an exaggeration. He is not God. He just got something. But just by gaining something, he has become different.
The dean appeared in front of him.
"I've met the dean. Thank you very much for the dean's advice." Zhao Tianming respectfully saluted the dean with a look of gratitude on his face.
The dean smiled and said: "Are you enlightened?" Zhao Tianming answered truthfully: "I think I have gained something. It is still early to be enlightened."
"That's right. After all, you are still young and the time to practice is still short. I am too impatient. Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Let's go. I will take you to the next place to see." The dean said.
Zhao Tianming was a little curious: "Where will we go next?"
"Buddha Realm!" said the dean. Zhao Tianming was stunned and his heart was shocked. Can I go to the Buddhist world? He has wanted to take a look for a long time...
