"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the sky!" Cao An responded subconsciously. The direction is certain, and the goal is also certain. If he walks step by step, he will get there. Cao An is not in a hurry, and neither are the people around him. After staying away from the crowd, he brings a sense of The rare tranquility and tranquility, inner richness and enjoyment cannot be replaced by other things.
The nameless creek, the valley between the two mountains, is the resting point for several people today. The setting sun fills half of the slopes of the two mountains with golden light. It is amazing to look at. Chang Qing and Shen Zhong are beside it. While eating, Cao An sat on the rocks by the stream, looking at the calm water in a trance.
The terrain is gentle, and the flow of the stream is almost invisible. It is as clear as water.
"Brother is lying, this is clearly water, where did the sky come from?" Li Douer grinned. He rarely saw Cao An joking, so the fact that he joked with Cao An was more interesting than his own curiosity. It doesn't matter what you look at. What matters is that the elder brother lied.
"The sky is also in the water, you just didn't pay attention."
"How could the sky be in the water... Oh!" Li Dou'er hadn't finished speaking. He looked at the water for a little longer and noticed that it was just a change of focus. He was really in the water. I saw the sky inside. It was not a mysterious realization, but a simple reflection.
Just looking at it, the water that was originally crystal clear and not something to be afraid of, at this moment, turned out to be bottomless, like an endless abyss. The unknown bottom made Li Douer take a breath of cold air for no reason. People had heart palpitations for no reason. Although they felt uncomfortable, they couldn't move their eyes away and grabbed Cao An's arm with one hand.
"I don't really like watching this, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Cao An turned around, smiled and patted Li Dou'er on the shoulder, "It's just a landscape, so there's nothing uncomfortable about it. They're just normal things. What makes you uncomfortable is just your own feeling. Come on. , I’m bored, let’s do some fortune-telling to see what our luck will be like today.”
As he spoke, Cao An took out three copper coins from his arms. These three coins were always carried by him and were used for divination a long time ago. They were now stained with Cao An's aura and glowed with a faint halo. Every word was clear and sharp. He held the coins in his hands, shook them, and then sprinkled them on the stone slab.
After seeing the hexagram presented above, Cao An raised his eyebrows and asked Chang Qing in the distance: "Is the meal ready?"
"It's ready, sir!"
"Take your pocket and eat quickly. There may be an after-dinner exercise in a while, and someone who disturbs the tranquility is here. It's not easy to choose such a place, but in the end, you may not be at peace."
"Are you from the Thousand Fantasy Demon Sect?"
While they were talking, Cao An and Li Douer had already arrived in front of the bonfire and sat down on a stone slab. They felt indescribably leisurely and free. He shook his head, "I don't know very well. I was just bored and did some divination. I learned the art at the beginning. At that time, if I didn’t study it carefully, it would be better than useless these years. Maybe I have made some improvements, and my calculations have been quite accurate recently.”
Speaking of this matter, Cao An was still a little embarrassed. As a Taoist priest, he didn't know how to divination. In fact, he gradually guessed some things. He has been able to calculate accurately recently. It is probably not because his divination knowledge has improved, but because he has improved his divination knowledge. He has been promoted to the realm of heaven and man, and his connection with heaven and earth has been strengthened.
Invisibly, it also makes the art of divination more accurate. However, who wants to admit that they are both good and fun-loving?
Zhong Zhong used a basin to scoop a large bowl of soup for Li Dou'er, while Cao An and Chang Qing sat on the other side. Neither of them had eaten much recently. One really didn't need it physically, and the other didn't. If they don’t want to eat, food has become a burden to them in this realm.
The unity of man and nature is the return of the physical body to the innate world. According to the standards of spiritual practice, every improvement in realm means an improvement in the level of life. The simplest metaphor is that their current bodies have long been compared with the ordinary iron weapons used by ordinary people. It won't be able to hurt the slightest bit, and this is without deliberately tempering the physical body.
Generally speaking, after a weapon enters the ranks of treasure weapons, it is linked to the user and the enemy. High-grade treasure weapons not only mean more powerful killing power, but also can hurt higher-level enemies. Takefu.
Generally speaking, the simplest comparison is that the weapon level and the enemy level can only differ by one scene at most. This means that the fifth-grade treasure weapon can no longer hurt the Qijingwufu. This is the simplest comparison. For someone like Cao An, whose physical body has been tempered, the sixth-grade treasure weapon corresponds to the six-jingtian talent. standards.
But in actual fighting, there are accidents. Some warriors have strong killing power with their true energy, etc. These will affect the upper limit of the weapon, because the weapon and the enemy are not just throwing the weapon there and letting the enemy get closer to see if it can hurt him. .
For the innate realm, the energy that can be extracted from the food eaten is actually very little, and it is not as powerful as the free breathing of the physical body. To maintain such a physical body, the energy required is also huge. Simply relying on eating, unless Tiancai Earth treasures are supplied in piles, otherwise they are useless.
“The scenery here is great!”
Cao An was stunned for a moment, "I know you are an evergreen tree incarnate and you love natural landscapes, but when did you say such a thing? Shouldn't it be that this kind of environment makes you feel more comfortable? You If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Chang Qing chuckled, "Nothing can be hidden from Young Master's eyes. I just have a question in practice that I would like to ask Young Master. The theory of mind you told me before said that there is no reason outside the heart, and there is nothing outside the mind. Everything in the world is in the heart and is controlled by the heart. But when you look at the mountains and rivers, it is so beautiful. But I know that before this, I did not have all this in my heart, but after seeing it, I only have all this in my heart. Why? Isn’t this different from what I believe in?”
Cao An looked at him calmly, "All things are created by the mind. Let me just ask you, when you are in a good mood, how do you feel when you see children playing beside you?"
"Nature is a joy, with a soft heart, a smile on the lips, gently telling them to be careful when playing, or directly participating in it and having fun with them." Chang Qing takes this issue very seriously, so much so that he has begun to put himself in their shoes. Among them, he held his cheek with one hand and said while thinking.
"Then in another situation, you are depressed, restless and unhappy. How would you feel if you see this situation again now?"
Chang Qing frowned, "If I were to be a normal person, I would probably scold them angrily, stop them, or drive them out of the yard, so that these children can stay away from me and have a moment of peace."
Cao An looked deep into the dense forest, "Look, the same situation has two different results and brings two different emotions. Let me ask you, what caused this situation?"
"Mood, more directly, is the heart!"
Cao An nodded, "This explains it. This landscape has always existed. Whether it is the still water, or the tender grass and blooming flowers on the ground, they have always existed and have always been here. , grows naturally, flows naturally, and runs quietly according to its instinctive natural laws, alternating with the four seasons."
"You have never arrived or seen it, so this scene will make your heart quiet. When you come and you see it, this scene will become bright and vivid with your heart. It's like it was originally there. My heart is just not lit up yet.”
Chang Qing's face was tangled, and he vaguely felt that there was an enlightenment right in front of him, but he couldn't catch it. Cao An continued: "You don't need to think too complicatedly. In the final analysis, it's just a matter of one sentence. If your heart remains unmoved, everything in the outside world will be like your heart. This is the heart. There is nothing outside the heart. There is nothing outside the heart. .”
"Your heart is like a sunny sky, spring returns to the earth, you are in a swampy land, and the mud is also a flower; your heart is sinking, evil flowers are planted deep, you see a clear sky, the rising sun is high, and you can't see a trace of light in the sea of flowers."
Chang Qing closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, with a majestic appearance and a smile on his face. At this moment, his whole body glowed with light, like a living god. At this moment, Cao An saw that he really had the illusion of the Buddha holding flowers and smiling. , there is a vague aura exuding from him, which warms the heart and makes people feel happy unconsciously.
"You know how to choose the time..."
