Regression is the most likely thing to happen at the bottleneck of spiritual practice, and it is not limited to spiritual practice.
The study and practice of martial arts, skills, and knowledge are all about sailing against the current. It is a dynamic process. It is not a rigid data. It depends on the level of proficiency. It can be set there. Once it is stuck in the bottleneck for a longer time, it is possible to reverse. The greater the sex.
Cao An held the Nian Sword in his hand and clearly noticed that his sword sense had weakened. The belief that everything would be safe with a sword in his hand began to weaken. Although this weakening was very small, it had indeed reversed. If it hadn't been for the recent encounter, When he arrived at Changqing, he saw his own shadow in him. Cao An didn't know when he would realize this.
I'm afraid that by the time I can notice it, it will be too late.
The reason for the deterioration of swordsmanship is very simple. Cao An himself also understands that in terms of pure skills, he has almost two lifetimes of experience. In a very short period of time, he was quickly elevated to a whole new level. After that, his Progress can be described as slow.
Especially after getting stuck on the will of kendo.
'It seems that it's not just Changqing who needs meditation, I need it too. Sighing, he took some of the food out of the yellow gourd and put it inside the bamboo house.
"Little Dou'er, don't go anywhere for these two days. Food and water are here. You should stay well. It's time to practice martial arts and rest. Big brother needs to quietly enlighten for a few days. If there is nothing special, Don’t bother big brother.”
Li Douer was stunned for a moment, "Brother, where are you going? Can I follow you? Don't worry, I will stay there and I will never disturb big brother."
Cao An smiled and rubbed his head, "Don't worry, big brother isn't going anywhere, he's just in the yard."
"Oh, okay, Douer understands."
This small courtyard was built on a hillside, and the terrain was not high. Cao An remembered that he had not seen a mountain for a long time. It was said that tall and majestic mountains went all the way north, past Shenzhou, and there were many mountains over there.
There is a simple bamboo fence surrounding the courtyard. It is only about a head taller than Li Douer. Maybe it is because of the existence of old man Chang Qing. There are no very tall trees nearby. You can see it at a glance from here. Living in Evergreen Tree, Cao An stood in the courtyard, looking over there.
But there was no focus in his eyes, and it was obvious that his mind was not on it.
'When was the first time the realm was loosened? '
He is clueless, but he is not. He has experienced a lot of things, and his mood is touched. Just like what he himself taught Li Douer, practicing hard and practicing behind closed doors will not work. You need to get in touch with more things. , come into contact with more things, just like a bead-stringer, stringing together these 'touches' one by one at an appropriate time in the future.
The so-called bottleneck will be broken by itself.
'It was in the village, in Li Douer's secret kingdom, when he was practicing Wanxiang Duel. 'He thought of that for the first time. At that time, he was deeply impressed by the feeling that his soul was being stripped away from his body. That was probably the time when he was closest to the realm of Six Scenes of Heaven and Humanity.
The emotional state was touched when he witnessed the epic feat of the Gulan bloodline. His mind was immersed in memory, recalling all the things, chasing the feelings that had gradually faded, trying to find a breakthrough from these details. The key is to clearly understand what is missing in your own swordsmanship.
He stood here for three days, always standing with his sword in hand, like a sculpture.
Li Dou'er had promised Cao An before that he would not come to disturb him, so he followed the practice schedule in the inheritance and completed the practice every day until noon on the third day. He really couldn't control his inner worries, so he walked cautiously. When he arrived in front of Cao An, a pair of big eyes stared at Cao An from bottom to top.
It wasn't until he could notice Cao An's breathing and the rise and fall of his chest that he patted his chest and returned to the room with relief on his face.
On the fourth day, Cao An pulled his thoughts out from the depths of his consciousness, gently moved his hands holding the sword, and looked at the evergreen tree with a solemn expression.
"Hey, big brother, are you awake?"
Li Douer, who noticed something unusual from behind, stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"Wake up. The old tree Evergreen may be going through a tribulation today. Sitting there alone doesn't mean much to me. Maybe watching him go through the tribulation can give me the last bit of inspiration."
"Overcoming the tribulation? Overcoming what tribulation? How did you overcome it?"
Facing Li Douer's curious question about the baby, Cao An shook his head, "I don't know myself, because I haven't seen it. Maybe there will be thunder striking him, fire burning him, or other things that we can't see." The disaster is inside. You are lucky. Just at the first stop out of the village, you can see such a big event that some people may not encounter in their lives. "
Li Dou'er is limited by his own cultivation and perception. He cannot be as sensitive to the changes in the Qi around him like Cao An. Even deep in his consciousness, he can clearly detect the changes in the Qi of heaven and earth.
The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places; the earth sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground; people send murderous intentions, and heaven and earth turn upside down. The catastrophe of a great demon must be caused by the touch of old man Chang Qing's thoughts, and the induction of heaven and earth. At this moment, the energy of heaven and earth in this area is many times richer than in the past few days, which is enough to explain all this.
Just in the short period of time when the two of them were talking, the sky darkened, black clouds pressed over the city, and the sky and the earth were darkened. A heavy feeling pressed on the hearts of all the creatures under the sky, and the power of the heaven and the earth was also revealed at this moment. , before they were unleashed, these creatures felt fear and trembling in their souls.
Li Douer held Cao An's hand tightly, "Brother, I'm afraid!"
"Big brother is also afraid, but when we, the martial arts practitioners, reach a certain level in the future, we will face alone what you are afraid of now. At that time, you will no longer be a bystander, but face it personally. , Overcome the fear in your heart, as a martial artist, you are just brave. No matter what kind of character you are, those who can go far enough on the road of spiritual practice are all brave people."
Li Douer blinked his small eyes and looked up at the dark sky. The overwhelming power suddenly made his heart twitch and his breathing slowed down for a beat, as if he was suffocating. Two breaths passed. Then he gasped for air.
Not daring to look up anymore, he lowered his head and followed Cao An all the way up the slope.
After all, the small courtyard is still quite close to Changqing. Cao An had Li Dou'er with him. He had never seen the real heaven before, so he could only try to be cautious and walk towards the higher hillside. At this distance, , with his own eyesight, he can still see the whole picture, and even if he wants to see, he can see the detailed scene.
The brocade robe, the fox head, and the human body. Except for the head, everything else is not much different from that of a human being.
The catastrophe of heaven and earth affected the sense of Qi. If it weren't for him coming closer, I'm afraid Cao An wouldn't have been able to detect the fox demon at all. In his impression, the fox demon still looked like Su Jinyao, at least aesthetically speaking, It won't cause people a sense of fear or terror, but that's not the case with the group in front of them.
They give people the impression of horror and weirdness...
