Cao An stood up and twisted his neck. The birds on his body flew into the air and quickly disappeared. He shook his robe and shook his hair. It was as smooth as Just washed.
"Still polite and didn't create any rubbish on me."
Stretching his waist, he walked up to the two of them, as if he had just woken up, and asked, "How long have I been in trance?"
"Brother, you've been sitting there cross-legged for a year. Are you okay?"
Cao An smiled and said, "Do you think the child will be fine if he stays quietly in his mother's belly for a year?"
"I've heard that it's almost a year since you were conceived in ten months. It's because you're pregnant in ten months that the baby can be healthy. If the baby has both tail and tail, it will definitely be fine, and there are benefits." Li Dou'er reluctantly used his imperfect knowledge to understand the truth and waited for Cao An's answer.
"Yes, so, after you reach the realm of cultivation, your state of concentration will be the same as when you were in the embryo of Mother Heaven and Earth. Not only will it not cause any harm to you, but it will also allow you to reap unimaginable benefits. "
At this time, Cao An has been in meditation for a year without entering the inner scene. He has simply been in meditation for a year. This can be said to be the year in which he has achieved the least substantial gains in his practice in the past few years. His realm has not improved, and his strength has not skyrocketed. However, the invisible improvement is absolutely unimaginable. Previously, because of the opportunity in the realm above the clouds, .
As a result, Cao An's own soul is stable and solidified. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. His strength could not reach the level of solidifying the soul. Rather than saying that the soul was solidified, it was better to say that it was a temporary disposal plan of the body at that time, which directly formed the surging soul power into a solid form for him to store. stand up.
It is saved, but it cannot be used. The only thing that can be used is its previous power, which is stronger than the previous soul, but not as powerful as imagined. There is also an obvious limitation, that is, Cao An wants to reach the seventh level. In order to see the scenery, the Yin Shen must emerge, but the solidified soul blocked the passage to the Yin Shen.
He couldn't get out of the real Yin Shen at all. He could only use the soul he could use to seep out of the body and barely control the body like before. This was what Cao An discovered after retreating in seclusion. This discovery shocked him. After understanding what was wrong with his practice, it took nearly a year to use the tyranny of the Three Flowers Divine Art to completely use the solidified soul for his own use.
At the moment, with the strength of his soul, it is just a thought to emerge from the underworld. However, he knows very well that it is not possible yet. The strength of the physical body has not kept up. Others practice through the physical body, which is the easiest way to gain progress. When the soul came to Cao An, it had to turn around and feed the body with the powerful Yin spirit.
With a single thought, his mental power overwhelms a radius of forty miles, and no matter how high it is, not a single plant or tree, from the rolling clouds to the whispering snakes and insects, can escape his perception. This feeling is even felt by land gods. In this way, it is like a god who controls a place.
Li Douer seemed to understand. He didn't like meditating very much. In comparison, he felt that practicing boxing was more meaningful. He could feel the power flowing in his fists and body, and control the flow and enhancement of that power. This was He likes to do things.
Cao An glanced around Shen Zhong and said, "It seems that you have made great progress this year."
"Brother Cao, please stop making fun of me. My progress is really not good compared to yours. I have worked hard to catch up, but every time I always feel like I am lagging behind." The words came out in his heavy heart. , I just felt that my heart breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure disappeared a lot.
"Don't belittle yourself. Cultivation is not to compare with others, but to compare with yourself. Your mentality is already very good. Keep your innocent heart. During practice, I don't need to say anything more to you. Unlike Chang Qing, he is a smart person and has a long history of accumulation. Once this kind of person's thinking falls into a dead end, it will become very bad."
Zhan Zhan scratched his head and said, "Although Brother Cao, you are praising me, I always feel like you are calling me stupid again."
"Go, go, let's go. It's almost time for us to leave. I didn't expect to stay here for a year. I didn't expect it to take so long. Let's go, pack things, call Chang Qing, we should Let's leave." Cao An said, took out the yellow gourd, packed up the objects in the cave, and led the two of them down.
At this time, Chang Qing, who was carrying three large rocks from nowhere, was walking firmly towards the mountainside. There was no dirt on his body, but he had a full beard and looked like a savage. , the clothes were worn out due to the contact with the rocks, and there were only some rags left in some places.
He had a smile on his lips and walked briskly. When he saw Cao An and the other two people, they seemed to be unfamiliar with each other. Just as he was about to pass by, Cao An shouted: "Chang Qing!"
Chang Qing's steps stopped, and his whole body moved slightly. The smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and he frowned and thought about something. He seemed to have woken up for a long time, "Master??"
"Are you awake?"
Chang Qing put down the big stone and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "I have been awake all the time, but I was thinking about other things, so I didn't pay much attention. Master, are you awake?"
Cao An nodded, "How many rides have you taken?"
"I don't know, I didn't remember it, and I can't remember it either."
Cao An pointed to the stone towers scattered all over the mountains and plains, "Take a look."
Chang Qing turned around and looked at the hillsides on both sides. It was really stone towers all over the mountains and plains. He was slightly stunned for a moment, "Did I build all of these?"
"It's not you. Could it be that we helped you build it?"
"I'm afraid it has far exceeded the number of a thousand..." After saying this, Chang Qing trembled slightly and fell into deep thought. Cao An's words that day echoed again like a bell. In my mind, thousands of stone towers, or even tens of thousands of stone towers, are they actually the same as that of martial arts practice?
I always want to complete the 'task' as soon as possible, immersed in a realm, a goal, and just want to achieve it as soon as possible. The results are often unsatisfactory and the foundation is not strong. Any disturbance may destroy these foundations of practice. .
How did he accomplish his current feat? It seems that he has not paid attention to any goals at all, and has even forgotten the goals. He just does everything well, polishes every rock, selects every rock, and then builds them up, not in a hurry. Impatience, nothing out of mind, nothing out of mind.
When I looked back, I saw that stone pagodas were already standing all over the mountains and plains on both sides of the hillside. How many of them were there? If you really have a mission and run towards your goal, you will definitely live in anxiety and tension every day. How can you experience the fun in it and how can you be content with it?
Moreover, I will definitely not be able to create this "achievement" that is all over the mountains and plains. I am afraid that I will have stopped as early as the number of one thousand. Cultivation is my own practice and has nothing to do with others. Everyone has his own There is a road to walk, and some people walk fast, but only you know your own road. If others walk fast, what are you doing?
All he needs to know is whether the stone tower he built will be blown down and destroyed when the mountain storm comes.
For a time, thousands of thoughts lingered in my heart, and all kinds of insights came out of my heart like a blowout. Those inspirations that I couldn't grasp before seemed to turn into reality one by one at this moment, building up in my heart like a stone tower. There is no need to understand it anymore, the truth is just this, simple and clear, and all thoughts and insights are spread out from this.
Just like what Cao An said before, one sentence is truly passed down, but tens of thousands of books are falsely passed down.
It spreads out, expands, extends, and then intersects and integrates in a certain interpretation with some principles that seemed to have no connection before, achieving fusion, simplifying into complexity, and then simplifying complexity into simplicity.
Chang Qing's eyes shed two lines of hot tears, she cried with joy and almost danced.
"Thank you for your teaching, young master. Chang Qing has enlightened."
"What did you realize?"
"Tell me, I can't tell!"
"That's right, do you need more time? If necessary, we can wait for you while you digest what you have learned." Cao An was very satisfied. This was a double happiness situation, and the obstacles in his heart were broken. Evergreen, there will be no obstacles or troubles for a long time in the future.
His strength will also make great progress. This time, the gains of the two people are almost not much, but the intangible gains are not comparable to the improvement of one or two realms, and the improvement of a little killing power.
Chang Qing calmed down, adjusted his clothes, put on a navy blue robe, wiped off the beard around his mouth, picked up a dry mountain flower branch, and tied his long hair.
"No need, the truth is very simple. There is no need to understand it. Once you understand it, you understand it."
"Okay, let's go, let's enter Tianniu State!"
Chang Qing has a saying that has always been right. When you understand, you understand. When you understand, you understand. No matter how much you talk about it, it’s just nonsense. Real enlightenment is when the words are on your lips. Thousands of words are stuck there, but you just can’t find them. Without a suitable word to express it, the poverty of human words is vividly felt at this moment.
That’s why there are so many jade slips and so many inheritances of true meanings. Simple writing can only tell you what to do, but it cannot tell you the beauty of it through language. Most of the future generations of learners can only learn through it. One's own fantasies and literal understanding, or even extended understanding, to speculate, this is where the deviation appears.
The four of them were walking on the hillside, and beyond the hillside, there were still trees all over the mountain. Chang Qing has a very good mentality, "The principles described by the young master seem to be similar to those of Buddhism and Taoism."
"Yes and no. In terms of the requirements for the heart, it can be said that it is, but the specific extended principles and achievements vary widely. Since ancient times, many of the contents that sound mysterious and mysterious in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are nothing more than a kind of understanding of the heart. The request..."
