Mo Wanren has not cared about world affairs for three or four years.
The current state of a foreign martial artist like him who has reached the pinnacle by force can only be said to be an outlier among the latter two states. As the saying goes, the bucket is not full of water and is wandering around blindly. It's really annoying to try to reach the peak before you have a solid foundation for reaching the peak, resulting in a suspended state of neither ascending nor descending.
Part of the journey of martial arts depends on continuous practice, the understanding of one's own cultivation, or the consideration and polishing of martial arts. In addition, the higher the realm, the more important the state of mind is, which becomes an indispensable factor for advancement.
And in the final analysis, regardless of the so-called practice or the state of mind, what cannot be circumvented is the innate potential, which is what some old people often say about the so-called good talents who are born to practice martial arts.
In the early stage of martial arts training, you really rely on this kind of aptitude and foundation. There are often some scammers who open their mouths and shut up by saying, "Look at your bones, I am amazed. You are truly a superb figure. You are truly a martial arts wizard who is unique in the world." Empty talk, if you have good qualifications and practice martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Those who have mediocre qualifications, dull and lazy people, will never be able to become the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare race without flying first.
Like the third watch of the night, with good innate aptitudes, it is a bit exaggerated to say that practicing martial arts is easy, but it is still easier than ordinary people. Being able to touch the celestial phenomena at the age of thirteen or fourteen is considered a success. Leader, of course, this is also inseparable from the external force of reading the martial arts classics in the library and integrating hundreds of schools of thought.
But in the later stage of martial arts training, entering the celestial realm can be said to rely on some qualifications or the help of some external forces in the later stage. From the celestial realm to the Dengtang, and from the Dengtang to the room, it does not just rely on these innate and acquired internal and external forces. The most important thing is It's just a chance meeting.
Some people only enter the celestial realm after 40 or 50 years, but they stay in the celestial realm for the rest of their lives, and end up with regrets at the last moment of their lives. Some people may really have a smooth journey to heaven and earth, but after entering the church, they will stop moving forward and get stuck here.
Although the state of mind is important, if there is no opportunity, no matter how good the state of mind is, it will be in vain.
Martial arts is not about bullying the weak or robbing the rich to give to the poor. In the final analysis, it is about opportunities.
The talent, intelligence, and excellent bones that make those martial arts celebrities praised are the opportunities given by God. For example, the library of Ye Family that collects the secrets of martial arts from all over the world is the opportunity that has been cultivated through many lifetimes of good deeds and good deeds. Tomorrow, step by step is also an opportunity.
Opportunity is the accumulated merit and virtue, such as the monks in the temple ringing the bell to do morning prayers, and the Taoist priests setting up altars to measure fortune and misfortune. In the end, they are cultivating more merit and virtue and accumulating more opportunities for the world in their previous and future lives.
This opportunity sounds mysterious and indescribable. It seems to be close before our eyes yet far away in the horizon. Some people have this opportunity to cultivate all their lives. If they seize it, they can easily enter the palace and enter the house. If they don't seize it, they will be confused.
It doesn't matter if you are a martial artist or a Confucianist, a Buddhist or a Taoist, it doesn't matter if you are practicing Qi Lian or an outsider. The word "chance" accounts for sixty-seven out of ten.
Mo Wanren grabbed an opportunity when he asked himself, although he only scratched the surface.
Even with the current unification of the Zhou Dynasty, the intersection of the western Lingnan Road, the southern Jiannan Road, and the western Qianzhong Road is still considered a land of stubborn barbarians in the Central Plains. There are so many ethnic minorities here that even though the Zhou Dynasty has conducted continuous censuses and statistics for nearly a hundred years, they are still incomplete, which shows that this place is complicated.
The Great Zhou Dynasty implemented the system of tyranny here, using barbarians to control barbarians. Princes and city chiefs were selected from the prominent figures among the ethnic minorities. Hereditary inheritance was passed down from father to son and brothers from generation to generation. They governed this group of Central Plains people in the eyes of the Central Plains people as if they were the agents of the family. Vulgar barbarians.
At that time, Mo Wanren was the Marquis of Yongzhou, with less than one person and more than 10,000 people in Yongzhou, Lingnan. It was a chance to inherit Yin's father's generation. He entered the sky at the age of three. After taking this position, he has never slackened in martial arts. He knows the destiny and knows how to ascend. Feng, who ranks high among fellow martial artists, enjoys the favor of immortals.
At this point, Mo Wanren was a little ignorant of the sky and the earth, and always thought of opportunistically finding new ways to become a human immortal and enjoy the merits of this world during his lifetime. Although he was eager for success, he seized the opportunity with a flash of inspiration, but his state of mind One unsteady move and he lost the whole game. Not to mention, he almost went crazy. His Taoist mind was ruined and he suddenly fell into the pseudo-peak realm. If he enters the ultimate realm again, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Unlike the practice of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is so mysterious, it is not an exaggeration to say that it all depends on the chance of the Tao. It is about an epiphany, which is extremely mysterious.
For example, in Confucianism, one can tell a person's cultivation just by reading. In the early days, he just read tens of thousands of books, and he would drop his book bag all day long. Later, when he suddenly realizes, he can use the awe-inspiring righteousness that fills the world for his own use. The so-called The five-level method of "learning, traveling, enlightenment, imperialism, and sage" takes "enlightenment" as the dividing line. From this point on, you can enjoy the appearance of an immortal by traveling to the east sea in the evening.
Just like Taoism, although it is divided into five meridians for mountain medicine, fortune telling, and divination, just like the number of petals of a plum blossom, each does its own thing, it is not the same, but it remains inseparable from its origin. The four levels of awakening, enlightenment, sudden enlightenment, and thorough enlightenment are used to realize the great road, and it is even more complete. It is all inseparable from the word "enlightenment".
For example, in Buddhism, whether it is asceticism or meditation, it is nothing more than ringing bells and chanting sutras. The so-called four levels of enlightenment, three thousand thoughts, vajra, and dharma. The first level of escaping into Buddhism is enlightenment.
Each of these three religions has its own teachings, and each level has its own method. As long as we stick to the only original intention, the so-called Confucianism, Buddhism, Compassion, Taoism, and Wuwei, we will reach the same destination through different paths.
As for the martial arts, whether it is refining or external, it is different from the three religions. All methods are different. Each has its own way and its own explanation. If there is a gap, although it will not be irreversible, it is still an insurmountable gap.
After the ninth cycle of celestial phenomena, what the Qi refining warriors call "entering the palace" is different from what outsiders' warriors pay attention to. One is fake and the other is real, one is fake and the other is real.
Mo Wanren, a martial artist from a foreign family, was currently in such a dilemma.
No matter how good the opportunity is, it is in vain to damage the state of mind. Mo Wanren pretended to climb the peak like this, not to mention entering the ultimate realm. As we all know, it may be difficult to return to the peak realm.
Mo Wanren came to Wudang four years ago, looking for a secluded place to live in seclusion, hoping to gain some external opportunities in the fairyland of this Taoist cave and paradise, stabilize his state of mind, and then climb to the top again.
Mo Wanren thought it was simple, but it was actually much more difficult to do.
When I came to Immortal Mountain, I had made plans to escape from the Five Elements and the Three Realms. However, within half a year, I was shattered by the news from my son. He said that the person in charge of his branch in Beijing was killed, and it was almost A fair and just killing.
The murderer, the third watch of the night in Yejia.
It is true that local officials like them who are far away from the capital are considering being able to understand the imperial court's intentions in a timely manner, so they secretly appoint immediate family members to purchase real estate in the capital and cultivate their influence. They serve as contact points in the capital, hoping to pry into the imperial will as soon as possible. , and quickly passed it back to the place to make corresponding strategies.
This is called "staying in the backyard" on Monday.
Although the imperial court did not ask about the existence of such a thing, it still disapproved of it. After all, it is necessary to have a good relationship with some important officials in order to obtain the Holy Will as soon as possible. Otherwise, how could local forces like them know the Holy Will?
In this way, it is a disguised form of cultivating party members and boosting the prestige of those important officials in the capital. How could the emperor, who has concentrated power in his own hands, let them mess around in the capital?
Until now, we have just turned a blind eye.
But due to fate, in the middle of the night, the backyard that his family had finally built was uprooted. How could Mo Wanren not be anxious? And that was his grandson. How could Mo Wanren endure such a tone?
Later, I also heard that several wealthy families in the capital with unclear connections sent out several elites, but they failed to stop this bold maniac who "killed innocent people indiscriminately"!
Although he had long handed over all the important and minor affairs of the family to his son, it was his grandson who died in the capital, and Mo Wanren's Taoist heart that had finally calmed down was destroyed again.
As a result, Mo Wanren's new and old grudges were all pinned on this Ye San Geng, who was also well-known in the world.
No matter how powerful the power behind him is, he must seek justice for his grandson.
At that time, it was considered that they had gone to great lengths to send people to make inquiries in Beijing and China, but Mo Wanren, a prince in a semi-civilized land, was only a minor official in a state and county in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The miraculous twelve pawns whose names have never been seen and whose name is rumored cannot find this madman who was expelled from the Ye family, let alone him?
Although he returned in vain and still went to practice in the mountains, the thorn in his heart made him unable to say that he was in a state of chaos for several years. His cultivation level, which he pretended to reach the peak of, was becoming more and more solid, and there was no way he could achieve the highest level. What does environment mean?
In the past few days, he has been in seclusion again without paying attention to worldly affairs, just to make some progress. Mo Wanren has no idea what Ye Sangeng, whom he regards as his biggest enemy, has done from last night to now. He is still wandering around the sea of consciousness this morning. Zhou Tian was woken up by the Taoist boy on the mountain, whom he only knew was of high seniority but not his true identity, banging on the door.
"Donor Mo, Donor Mo, please wake up, wake up, get up, get up, the sun is shining on your butt."
The little Taoist boy sitting on the back of the leopard was still far away from Mo Wanren's residence, but there was a scream of ghosts. He had no scruples in talking nonsense all day long in the mountains because of his seniority. Everyone in the mountains and outsiders knew that this boy had an informal nature. He is restrained and has no scruples in speaking, which is really the nature of a child.
Once a person in retreat enters the consciousness he has constructed, he will be cut off from the outside world for as short as two or three days or as long as several months. He will only rely on his own spiritual consciousness to perceive the disturbances in the outside world. The little Taoist boy will naturally know it. Doorway, so they started shouting from a long distance away.
The little Taoist boy's actual age is only eleven or twelve years old. He has stayed in this mountain for eleven or twelve years. He is extremely familiar with every plant and tree in the mountain. In addition, he is young and active. Not only does he have a leopard as a mount, but also who The little oriole he didn't recognize was used as an eyeliner. There was no place in Wudang Mountain that he couldn't go to, and naturally there was no one he didn't know.
Which mountain top has accepted a new disciple from the bottom of the mountain, which mountain Taoist priest is going down the mountain to return to secular life, which temple brother has fallen in love with his junior sister and wants to become a Taoist couple, which temple junior sister secretly loves her senior brother, and which mountain top is even practicing He would immediately learn about trivial matters such as which mountain top the furnace exploded, whether his disciples set up an altar to pray for rain, and almost caused a mountain fire.
There are also those outsiders who go to the mountains to live in seclusion. He will always go over to help them introduce the masters as soon as possible, and then take the trouble to lead them to find places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and help these outsiders build thatched houses. As for some people who don't understand, they really think that this is the rejuvenated little fairy from Wudang Mountain.
After that, the little Taoist boy went to his master or his disciples and grandsons who had traveled through the world to inquire about this person's identity and deeds. After listening to the stories, he generally understood the group of outsiders living in seclusion in Wudang Mountains, who didn't have a thousand or eight hundred. .
The master once scolded him for being too lazy to worry about things and just looking for things to pass the time all day long.
But Xiao Daotong felt that it was necessary for him to do this. For example, now, the master asked him to call someone. Needless to say, he knew who to call to save the situation.
The little Taoist boy who was yelling and banging on the door finally saw Mo Wanren, who had entered Wudang for the second time. He bowed and said, "Almsgiver, there is a distinguished guest from the mountain who disturbs our disciples' cultivation. No one can challenge him, especially Come and ask the donor to come out of seclusion and help."
The little Taoist boy opened his mouth to tell lies, but his words were flawless and looked serious.
After all, this is a secluded practice in someone's mountain. How can a guest not help when the host is in trouble? Mo Wanren did not doubt and said: "Who is here? Even your sect can't do anything about him?"
"Third watch at night." The little Taoist boy was quite talented in acting. He looked like he wanted to refuse but he welcomed her. He spoke carefully and peeked at her.
Mo Wanren's demeanor at this time was really what the little Taoist boy expected.
Hearing this person's name, Mo Wanren's energy suddenly surged, which made the little Taoist boy who had no martial arts foundation stagger. If it weren't for the psychic leopard behind him, who was definitely not just a beast, stepped forward. If you block it, you might fall down. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Mo Wanren's silver hair was floating and he had been shot out.
The little Daotong was obviously very proud of what he had done. He said to Huabaozi, "We found the right person, hehe."
