Longhu Mountain, in front of the plaque of the Tianshi Mansion of the Si Han Dynasty.
Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Ci, and Wang Ai are waiting for Lu Jin.
Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged, staring at the sky with dull eyes, watching the clouds roll in and out, and at the same time, he was distracted and polishing his life without leaving any trace. He would never waste this kind of leisure time on such things as being in a daze.
But Lu Ci was not in such a state. He frowned, paced back and forth, and said to himself:
"Lu Jin, this bitch, is a grown man. When he goes out, he will act like a bitch. How long will he last? I almost want to kick Lu Jin's stinky face with my feet."
At this time, Wang Ai tugged on Lu Ci's clothes and whispered: "Lu... Lu Ci, the Taoist priest who kicked Lu Jin in the face is here."
"Huh?" Lu Ci turned around and saw a little Taoist priest whose ears did not match his body shape walking slowly towards him.
What is the name of this Taoist priest who looks a bit like a mouse and looks very weak but is actually very strong... Lu Ci thought for a moment and remembered that Wang Ai had said before when he told the story that his name was Lin Huaiyi.
I heard from the fat man that this guy is very accomplished in the Golden Light Curse and can also use thunder. Although he can't do two moves in front of Senior Brother Zhang, isn't this a weakened version of Senior Brother Zhang?
Thinking of this, Lu Ci was a little eager to try. Lu Jin fought with him for many rounds. Although he was beaten in the end, his strength should not be much different.
How about I try it? If I can't defeat Senior Brother Zhang, I'll first learn some lessons from Senior Brother Zhang's junior fellow apprentices!
Lin Huaiyi, who was walking slowly, looked at the thorn in front of him in surprise.
Unlike Zhang Zhiwei who always observes himself, although Lin Huaiyi learned the technique of observing himself, he likes to observe his surroundings.
He heard clearly the conversation between Lu Ci and Wang Ai, and he was even keenly aware of the changes in Lu Ci's eyes and the ups and downs of his emotions.
This thorn wants to fight me... Lin Huaiyi reacted instantly, but he never took it to heart. He has the lowest self-esteem and is the most conceited.
Inferiority means feeling inferior in front of a strong person. Before he has the strength to fight, he would rather lie dormant.
Conceit means being conceited in front of a weak person. He is stronger than you, and he doesn't even bother to compete with you.
Lin Huaiyi did not compete with his fellow disciples, let alone fight with Lu Ci. The previous fight with Lu Jin was purely due to Zhang Zhiwei's push, and he himself wanted to refuse.
Lin Huaiyi walked straight to Zhang Zhiwei without even looking at Lu Ci and Wang Ai.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at him and finished his meditation practice. His godless eyes instantly became as bright as stars.
Lin Huaiyi was shocked when he noticed Zhang Zhiwei's eyes. What Lu Ci and Wang Ai felt just now was not real. They only knew that Zhang Zhiwei seemed to be in a daze while waiting for Lu Jin.
But Lin Huaiyi knew what this meant, which meant that senior brother Zhang Zhiwei could enter a state of trance anytime and anywhere.
He can even enter samadhi while doing other things. As long as he wants to, he can even maintain a state of practice throughout the day.
He suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't keep up with his senior brother no matter how much he did for himself, and even fell further and further behind him. It turned out that his senior brother was more ruthless than him in his evil deeds! !
"Senior brother is so advanced in the realm of Jing Gong, and he is still practicing at this time!"
Lin Huaiyi's words made Wang Ai and Lu Ci startled.
"Senior Brother Zhang was practicing just now?" Lu Ci said with a surprised look on his face.
"Isn't Senior Brother Zhang in a daze? I also heard him say that Lu Jin looks like a woman when he goes out to eat!" Wang Ai also looked in disbelief.
The two of them didn't notice this at all.
Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "The realm of static gong is just a small achievement. As for cultivation... it's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Ordinary people like us, then we can only make up for our shortcomings through hard work!"
"…………"
Lin Huaiyi, Lu Ci, and Wang Ai were all speechless, and something came up in their minds.
Listen, do people say it?
"Brother, do you know that if you behave like this and call yourself a scab at the foot of the mountain, you will be beaten to death!"
Lin Huaiyi pointed at Zhang Zhiwei and said, before he entered Longhu Mountain, his family was in business, so he naturally knew these things.
"Are you going to be beaten to death?" Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes: "Do you believe it or not, I'm going to whip you, I'm going to whip you now, no mercy!"
Lin Huaiyi stopped talking immediately. He was not mature enough and his view of Dharma was not clear to Zhang Zhiwei. He could not tell whether this sentence was a joke or serious.
Therefore, he chose not to take risks. If Tian Jinzhong was this guy, he would still have to deal with high and low at this time, and finally take a few violent chestnuts before he would stop.
"By the way, senior brother, you deliberately let me play yesterday, right? How did you find out that I was hiding my cultivation?"
Lin Huaiyi looked puzzled and said, he thought he had good control. Except for the master, many old masters didn't notice it. How did the senior brother know about it?
"Last time I tested the audio-visual altar of heaven and earth, I saw Master turning on a small stove for you!" Zhang Zhiwei gave a casual reason.
Lin Huaiyi suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder..."
"You don't handle your own affairs well, and you came to me just to talk about this?"
Zhang Zhiwei said: "Even someone like me, whose master often says that I am short-sighted, can see it. Although the brothers and sisters didn't say anything, and even everyone congratulated you... but they still have strong opinions on you in their hearts! "
"Senior brother, actually I came here to apologize to Lu Jin. Yesterday during our discussion, I was a little too harsh. As for the senior brothers..."
Lin Huaiyi sighed and said: "Oh, I really don't know what to do in the future... How should I get along with everyone!"
At this time, Wang Ai suddenly said: "Yesterday in our competition, you beat me very badly. Why don't you apologize to me too?"
Lin Huaiyi glanced at him: "You are like a fat pig, and you have laughed at my appearance many times. I have been very restrained towards you in yesterday's competition!"
"You heard it all..." Wang Ai was suddenly speechless and stood next to Lu Ci with a look of resentment on his face.
Is this the beginning of the feud between three generations... Zhang Zhiwei laughed secretly and said:
"If you want to apologize to Lu Jin, it will probably take a while. Lu Jin is still arranging his hair that was burnt by you!"
"Then I'll wait a moment!"
After a while, Lin Huaiyi suddenly said: "By the way, senior brother, what happened before, if you were me, how would you get along with the big guys? I'm embarrassed to see them now, and I want to hide when I see them. I'm embarrassed to see them. people!"
"If it were me..." Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said: "Just get along with each other as usual. If you are really sorry for what you did in the past, simply be more honest with everyone in the future, like more How many times do you treat everyone to dinner? How can everyone remember you for a lifetime with such a small thing?"
Lin Huaiyi was stunned: "Is it really that simple?"
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said: "You have been thinking about how to get along with others for so many years, haven't you thought enough? I find that you seem to care about other people's opinions."
Lin Huaiyi nodded: "Yeah, I'm not very good at getting along with others. When I meet an acquaintance, the first thought in my mind is to hide."
"Also, I do care about what other people say. Sometimes I feel very happy when I receive a compliment."
"Sometimes, just one or two words can make me feel uncomfortable for a long time, just like that fat man called me a mouse!"
Hearing this, Wang Ai said weakly, "I didn't call you a mouse, I clearly called you a mouse..."
Lin Huaiyi glared over.
Wang Ai suddenly stopped talking.
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said: "The reason why this is happening is because your thinking has been affected."
"People have two sets of thinking. One is completely their own and is controlled by themselves."
"The other set is the thought that is mistakenly thought to be one's own, but is actually just the thought itself."
"In short, the former can be completely controlled by oneself. This thinking is one's own thinking and judgment about oneself and the external world."
"The latter means that one cannot control oneself, and is even controlled by oneself. This thinking is a delusion imposed on oneself in the past and future, and is the manipulation of oneself by the external world."
"The reason why you care so much about the opinions of people around you is because you are controlled by the second set of thinking and lose your own thinking."
"What you need is to separate yourself, sit high on the altar, not be disturbed by the external world's delusions, not be disturbed by your own delusions, and understand the true self. This is the true self!"
What Zhang Zhiwei is talking about is actually the realm of observing the Dharma, the inner sage and the outer king.
After listening to Zhang Zhiwei's words, Lin Huaiyi said thoughtfully:
"Senior brother, Master also told me something similar, but he was not as mysterious as you said."
"Master said that people live in groups. There will be many 'others' in a person's world. Whether that person is willing or not, he will be influenced by many people. And when we are born in the world and practice, we should find the real 'me' .”
"Probably, you know what you really want, and no matter how many and complicated other people's words are, they can't affect you."
Lin Huaiyi thought for a while and continued: "Master also said that Jianghu is like a big store. There is everything in it. You just want to go in and buy a bottle of oil."
"But there are many people around you telling you, this is good, get some of this, get some of that. Some of them are people you don't know, some are your parents, relatives, some have good intentions, some have bad intentions, and they hope you will suffer."
"You will be affected by the words of these people, or in other words, people will be affected every day in this world and are constantly being shaped by the outside world. Each of us will have more or less traces of other people's lives on us. Too much Extreme people will not live like themselves, but like people who live in other people's mouths."
"Cultivation is to find yourself in such a complicated world. Eliminate distracting thoughts, know what you want, and know what you want to do."
"Master said that if I can keep all things from being stagnant in my mind, then I can be free and at ease."
After listening to Lin Huaiyi's words, Zhang Zhiwei was in a daze. His master had also said these words to him.
He was able to reach this state so quickly before because of his high talent and good understanding on the one hand, and the master's teaching on the other.
"Now that you know, you still ask?" Zhang Zhiwei said.
"Senior brother, I know it, but I can't do it. It goes against what I have always thought!" Lin Huaiyi said with some pain.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lin Huaiyi who looked troubled, thought for a while, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"If you can't figure it out, don't force it. Just stick to your own way. Everyone's understanding of the way is different. If you can't understand it, don't force it. If you reach the realm, you will understand it by yourself!"
"Really?" Lin Huaiyi looked up at Zhang Zhiwei.
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhiwei nodded seriously, but sighed in his heart, it is easier said than done, and the gap between knowing and doing it is often like a chasm.
If there was no special opportunity, Lin Huaiyi might not be able to pass this level in his life.
Because, in the plot, Lin Huaiyi, later Zhang Huaiyi, lived like someone else his whole life.
Even in the last few years of his life, he was still teaching his grandson Zhang Chulan to hide his clumsiness, saying that all living beings in the world are not afraid of heaven or earth, but they are afraid of people who are too different from him.
If you are too bad or too cowardly, they will destroy you and trample on you. If you are too good or too strong, they will not trust you and they will suppress you and alienate you.
As long as you are similar to them, they will accept you with peace of mind. At that time, they will not care whether you are good or bad.
Therefore, the most carefree people in this world are those who know how to disguise themselves as others.
This is his understanding.
He did the same thing and did it all his life.
His strength can definitely be regarded as an expert in the alien world, but is he free?
Maybe he thinks that his life of hiding away and being unable to be found by others is a happy life, but Zhang Zhiwei doesn't agree with that.
What is Xiaoyao? If you want to live in seclusion, no one dares to disturb you. If you want to kill, go ahead and kill as many as you like.
What kind of broken rules made by the ten guys or what kind of company, if they are contrary to my ideas, then it’s bullshit, this is freedom and freedom.
And this may be the reason why Lin Huaiyi went crazy to pursue those eight magical skills, to pursue the end of the technique and the origin of the Qi Body.
Because there is no way to survive, you can only pursue skills to improve your strength.
This can actually be seen from the way Lin Huaiyi uses the Golden Light Curse.
Zhang Zhiwei's golden light spell is used to polish life. Golden light is ordinary golden light. The reason why it is extraordinary is an external manifestation of strong life.
Huaiyi's golden light is different. What he pursues is the embodiment of the golden light spell in terms of "skills". The extremely sharp golden light blade that is designed to break through golden light is an example.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and some people are more suitable for practicing life.
Some people are more talented in the use of magic.
That's why Zhang Zhiwei asked Jin Lin Huaiyi not to force things and follow his own heart, so as not to imitate him blindly and delay himself.
"Senior brother, I understand!" Lin Huaiyi nodded, feeling much relieved.
Beside Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Ci had an almost uncontrollable excitement on his face as he carefully understood what he just said.
Wang Ai listened in confusion.
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for a long time, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'm ready!"
Everyone looked back and saw Lu Jin standing at the door with his hands in his trousers pockets. He had neat white hair and a black suit. He looked handsome.
Lu Ci curled her lips: "Some people, just to fix their hair, grind like a woman, you never know what you missed!"
"Ah?" Lu Jin was stunned: "What did I miss?"
Zhang Zhiwei: "Nothing!"
Lu Ci: "Yes, it's nothing!"
Wang Ai: "Yeah, it's nothing, nothing!"
