Feng Tianbai specially took the lamp oil and lit the lamp.
The room was simple, with nothing but a bed and a table, but it was spotlessly clean.
Gu Yuling felt confused in her heart, thinking about how her uncle, who was once the leader of the Leiyuan Sect and a symbol of hundreds of Confucian sects, could be reduced to such poverty and wretchedness.
Feng Tianbai seemed to see through Gu Yuling's thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous. The water is not deep, if there are dragons, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous."
Gu Yuling nodded: "Disciple, it's in my heart..." but couldn't explain why.
Feng Tianbai continued, "When you were practicing Taoism, you lived outdoors, listened to the wind and discerned the water, and read the heaven and earth to adjust your mind. There was no yelling to disturb your ears, and no beauty to distract you. In this way, what's the difference between living in a humble room and setting up a high court? ?”
Gu Yuling nodded and said, "Disciple, please learn from me."
"Sit down and talk."
Gu Yuling responded: "Disciple, just stand."
There is a huge gap in status between her and her uncle. How can she sit with him?
Feng Tianbai smiled and said, "Just treat me as an ordinary person."
Gu Yuling couldn't do it, but respecting teachers and teaching is basic etiquette.
Feng Tianbai smiled and said, "Do you still want to learn the Martial Arts Book?"
"Yes I do."
"Then sit down and talk, or I'll kick you out."
Gu Yuling was embarrassed to sit down, and her reserved and shy look was a bit cute in front of her elders.
"You two newborn calves are so bold."
Gu Yuling asked lightly: "What did my uncle say?" But he didn't know whether his uncle meant pretending to be a god or something else. You must know that the ancestors of the Lei Yuan Sect did not dare to call themselves gods. They regarded the heaven and the earth as their esteem and regarded themselves as weak.
"Dig a well without permission!"
Gu Yuling said: "This is what my uncle said."
Feng Tianbai asked: "Can you imagine the consequences?"
Gu Yuling responded: "Uncle, we are not afraid."
Feng Tianbai smiled: "I feel very pleased to hear what you said. You are worthy of being a disciple of my Lei Yuan Sect, but have you ever thought that if, if you can't fight against the Prince's Mansion of East Henan County, these villagers will suffer. "
Gu Yuling responded: "Uncle, I didn't think that much."
Feng Tianbai said: "In other words, you two helped out with good intentions, but in the end it brought disaster to others. Who should be blamed for this disaster?"
"I……"
Gu Yuling hesitated and finally admitted: "Then it was the two of us who harmed them."
Feng Tianbai laughed: "Wrong! It is still the Prince's Mansion of East Henan Province that harmed them."
Gu Yuling couldn't understand what her uncle said.
I just heard my uncle say, "You are just incompetent. I just want to tell you that young people cannot do things based on their passion. They must look at the overall situation before doing anything, otherwise they will often end up self-defeating."
Gu Yuling asked herself, did she and Xie Fu do something wrong?
Feng Tianbai smiled: "Then again, no one can make mistakes without being a sage, so how can we do everything perfectly? Now that the matter has been done, let's find a way to solve it."
Gu Yuling asked weakly: "Uncle, are you even afraid of the Prince's Mansion in East Henan Province?"
In fact, she wanted to ask, uncle, since you are here, why do you sit back and watch the Prince of Henan East County oppress these villagers.
Feng Tianbai smiled and said: "If you are afraid, you are not afraid, and you cannot control it."
Gu Yuling blurted out: "Why?"
Feng Tianbai looked out the window with far-reaching eyes. Sometimes he couldn't distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, right and wrong...
It seems that he is just a strong warrior, but not a wise one.
Seeing that her uncle didn't answer for a long time, Gu Yuling asked softly: "Does my uncle have something to hide?"
Feng Tianbai smiled and said: "It's not an unspeakable secret. Now I have become a useless person, just like a stubborn stone living in the mountains and rivers. I can only sit back and watch without being able to intervene."
Gu Yuling was shocked: "Uncle, you..."
Ever since he joined forces with the other two great masters to fight against the Nestorian Moon King, Feng Tianbai was the most seriously injured. Although he saved his life, he became a disabled person.
After returning to Lei Yuan Sect, he resigned as the head of the sect and declared to the outside world that he would become a hermit.
His actual situation is only known to his senior brother, Taoist Suxing, and his junior brother, Taoist Suyu.
Feng Tianbai didn't say much about this, and said with a smile: "Although I am a stubborn stone, I can enlighten you, a piece of rough jade."
"Speaking of which, Yuling, do you want to learn the Book of Martial Arts?"
Gu Yuling responded weakly: "Disciples naturally want to learn, but they are afraid that their cultivation will be low and they will disappoint their uncle."
As far as she knew, the Wuwu Baoding was difficult and profound and could not be practiced by those with advanced cultivation. If forced to practice it, it would be harmful and useless, and it would be a waste of time.
"Yuling, sit down."
Gu Yuling didn't know what her uncle's intention was, but she followed it.
Feng Tianbai put his hand on Gu Yuling's back. After a long time, he took it back and laughed.
Gu Yuling looked at her uncle in confusion, not knowing that his uncle was laughing.
"Shui Zhou has really worked hard. I'm afraid she has devoted her whole life to you. I originally thought she was arrogant and eager for quick success, but I didn't expect that she would be so patient with her disciples. It's really not easy."
Gu Yuling didn't know what it meant and asked, "What does Uncle Master mean?"
"Yu Ling, your master Shui Zhou has laid a solid foundation for you. People practice martial arts and strive to make rapid progress. However, as the martial arts improves, it is like a stacked building that becomes more and more swaying and dangerous. When the building is high, it is difficult to stack it again. I regret that I have the foundation at the beginning." It’s not solid enough, and I want to build a new foundation, but it has already taken decades, and I am getting old and cannot start over.”
"I think your master Shuizhou is deeply aware of this. He has cultivated you carefully and is afraid that you will be eager for quick success. Now that you have a solid foundation, your martial arts path has just begun to build up. In the future, you will surely rise to the top of the sky."
After Feng Tianbai finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved proudly.
Feng Tianbai was deeply relieved that Gu Yuling's raw jade was not wasted.
Gu Yuling thought of her master's various intentions for her, but she felt guilty and uncomfortable in her heart. The master was so kind to her and regarded her as his life's work, but she let him down so...
Feng Tianbai suddenly became interested: "If Bai Yi hadn't been there, you would have been the first female warrior."
Gu Yuling said modestly, "How can this disciple compare to Uncle Yu?"
"Yu Ling, you don't need to belittle yourself. In my opinion, you are better than Bai Yi."
Gu Yuling was surprised and really couldn't agree with it, but his uncle certainly wouldn't talk nonsense.
Feng Tianbai smiled and said: "What a Shuizhou. What she can't achieve is all pinned on you. When you go back, tell your master something for me. It doesn't matter if you don't want this female martial arts title. Yuling is more than just a martial artist." With his respectable attitude, it is not impossible to become the master of a sect in the future."
Gu Yuling was horrified: "Uncle Master, you think too highly of your disciple. At present, he only has a third-level cultivation level. Even if he catches up with Uncle Yu, he doesn't know how many years or months it will take."
"Life is limited. Shui Zhou is too cautious and conservative. Yu Ling, I will give you a breakthrough now and give you the martial arts book."
Gu Yuling was slightly surprised that his uncle spoke so casually about such a big event as a sudden appearance, but his master said that he would have to accumulate some time.
But how can the master compare to his uncle?
…
"elder brother."
When Fu Xie heard Qiu Jintang's call, he walked towards Qiu Jintang and came to Aunt Dog.
While taking care of her husband, Aunt Dog looked at Fu Xie gently and said humbly and respectfully: "Immortal."
Xie Fu asked: "How is uncle?"
"I don't know." Aunt Gou choked up as she spoke.
Xie Fu smiled, squatted down and checked his veins, and said lightly: "Auntie, don't worry, uncle will be fine."
Aunt Dog only thought that Xie Fu was comforting her, even though he was half dead, she still said that everything was fine, and choked with sobs and said: "Fairy, please save A Gou." But she really regarded Xie Fu as an omnipotent god.
Xie Fu nodded and smiled, and injected a burst of Qi into Ah Gou's body. He heard a response from Ah Gou.
Aunt Dog was immediately overjoyed and called her husband repeatedly.
Agou's eyes were half open and his mouth moved, but he couldn't speak.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Auntie, my uncle is fine. Please help him go back and have a good rest."
At this moment, Aunt Dog was convinced by Xie Fu's words and quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal..."
Country people are not very good at saying nice things, so they just kowtow and say thank you.
Seeing Aunt Dog's excitement and sincerity, Fu Xie accepted her bow and said comfortingly: "Auntie, it's okay, okay, go home quickly."
After Aunt Dog left behind her husband's back, Qiu Jintang finally couldn't help blurting out: "Brother, you are great!"
The burning eyes of this young lady are full of admiration for Xie Fu...
Xie Fu looked in the direction of Gu Yuling and suddenly found that Gu Yuling was missing. He was surprised. Could it be that his aunt had sneaked back to Lei Yuanzong and blurted out: "Where is your aunt?"
Qiu Jintang noticed Gu Yuling's departure earlier and responded: "I saw Sister Gu and Mr. Feng leaving."
"Which Mr. Feng?"
"Um...it's Mr. Feng who Xiaolin went to borrow pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"Mr. Feng?" Xie Fu was a little confused, how could the aunt follow someone for no reason.
Qiu Jintang saw the confusion on Xie Fu's face and said, "Mr. Feng has no relatives or friends. He usually just writes for others."
"Where is Mr. Feng's home?"
Xie Fu was a little uneasy. My aunt was naive, and if she met a bad person, she might be deceived.
"At the end of the village, brother, let me take you there."
After struggling all night, it was already dawning. Qiu Jintang took Xie Fu to a hut at the end of the village. This place was on the edge of the village. Apart from this hut, there were no other houses.
Qiu Jintang pointed: "This is Mr. Feng's home."
Fu Xie had already seen the lights on in the house. It was obvious that someone was awake in the house, so he asked: "How is Mr. Feng usually doing?"
A person like Gu Yuling has a cold temperament, and it is usually difficult to talk to her. To follow someone so casually, this person must not be simple, Xie Fu has already been careful in his heart.
"Um...Mr. Feng usually has little contact with others. He usually writes letters to people, asks for names and so on, and he never asks for payment. Everyone also consciously sends some things. As for other things, I respect him. I really don’t understand.”
Qiu Jintang said, and already shouted outside the door: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng..."
After calling several times, but no one answered, Qiu Jintang asked: "Is it possible that Mr. Feng is not at home?"
The lights in the house were on, so how could he not be at home? Xie Fu said: "Okay, Xiaotang, you go back and do your work first. I can go in by myself."
"Okay, then I'll go back and help Aunt Dog's house water the ground."
After pushing Xiaotang aside, Xie Fu walked in alone.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the hut, he saw Gu Yuling sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, as quiet as if she were dead.
Standing next to him was a middle-aged man, standing with one arm behind his back, mumbling the most.
Seeing this scene suddenly, Xie Fu thought that Gu Yuling had been confused or hurt, so he blurted out: "Auntie!"
Gu Yuling didn't move or move, and she didn't respond, which made the middle-aged man look at him and said calmly: "She is in the Tribulation Tupin, please sit down."
After saying that, he ignored Xie Fu and continued to mutter something, as if he was instructing Gu Yuling on how to survive this sudden disaster.
When Xie Fu heard this, he looked carefully and confirmed that his aunt was really going through the martial arts tribulation. He was secretly surprised.
My aunt's cultivation is at level three, which means she is going through a level three martial arts tribulation. Going through a martial arts tribulation is a process of changing acupoints, changing pulses, and reborn, which is a very dangerous thing for people in martial arts.
Why are you so hasty and not fully prepared in advance?
Although he had many doubts in his heart, Xie Fu did not dare to disturb her. He sat down quietly and paid attention to Gu Yuling's changes. If Gu Yuling was not successful in overcoming the disaster, he could help her with his blessing words.
Xie Fu kept staring at Gu Yuling, and time passed by. Suddenly, he saw sweat pouring from Gu Yuling's forehead. She was in great pain and had a very painful expression.
Xie Fu was a person who had been here before and knew that Gu Yuling was about to become possessed, so he stood up suddenly.
The man with the broken arm said softly: "Sit down and be patient."
Not everyone can stay calm at this moment when it comes to the people they care about.
Xie Fu's mind has now calmed down, so he still sat down, paid close attention and watched the changes.
I saw that Gu Yuling's expression was sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes immortal, sometimes dead, constantly changing, while the man with the broken arm kept mumbling words and did nothing else.
I don't know how long it took, but Gu Yuling's ever-changing expression finally stabilized.
Although his bright eyes were closed, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his dark eyebrows were slightly raised.
The red lips were tightly closed, but it was like a smile in a dream.
Her cheeks were red and she was drunk.
The whole person seemed to be immersed in bliss.
Xie Fu was secretly surprised that he could achieve the state of bliss that Ci Ci mentioned.
In those days in the fantasy world, Xie Fu's every sudden martial arts tribulation was accomplished with the guidance and help of Duanmu Ci.
Most people hope to get through this dangerous process unscathed, but for a very few people, in addition to surviving the martial arts tribulation and taking their cultivation to a new level, they also need to pursue perfection.
The most perfect of these is the state of bliss.
What is the state of bliss? Through Duanmuci's explanation, Xie Fu understood it to be something similar to the tantric duality of joy and space. In the state of great bliss, one can visualize entering a high-level state where the mind is as concentrated as water.
The purpose of the dual movement of happiness and emptiness is to achieve the body of Buddha through the unity of wisdom and convenience.
From the perspective of practicing martial arts, the state of bliss during the sudden tribulation coincides with the state of great bliss of both joy and space in Tantric Buddhism, which coincides with the state of becoming a Buddha.
One achieves the Buddha body, and the other achieves the Tao body.
Overcoming the tribulation and sudden changes is a process of changing the acupoints, changing the pulse, and reborn. To put it in layman's terms, all people are successful in overcoming the tribulation and sudden changes. Although some people have also built houses, they are mediocre and even difficult to withstand the wind and rain.
Some people are magnificent, brilliant and beautiful, and will last forever after passing through the years.
Xie Fu's two breakthroughs in transcending tribulations in the illusion were only half-happy, and Duanmu Ci even felt a little regretful.
In the final analysis, although Fu Xie had many adventures and was guided by famous teachers, he finally entered Taoism halfway.
But it's not like some people who have practiced intensively since childhood.
