forget the river mirror

Chapter 3
Mirror Profound Realm.

Three bright moons hang high in the night sky.

……

"In the realm of the mysterious mirror, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and martial arts, enlightenment is the beginning, and the road has no end..."

In an old school, Jiang Luo held the bamboo slips in his hand, and explained in a calm tone: "In the Mysterious Mirror Realm, there are many complicated cultivation methods, but they all start from the awareness of the spirit, and spiritual power is the root of all methods. And whether it is Confucianism or Buddhism or Taoism, in the end, they all lead to the same goal by different routes, and ask the heavens."

Jiang Luo, who was dressed in green clothes, looked like a fairy who had fallen into the world, but even though she covered her face with a light veil, the corners of her slightly raised eyes and brows still concealed an inexhaustible beauty.

A boy with the same appearance as Lin Chuan was sitting bored at the back of the school, his name was also Lin Chuan.

If you also want to find some differences, it is probably that Lin Chuan from Blue Star can feel the obvious sense of distance, but he feels very gentle.

At this time, Lin Chuan, who was sitting in the school, was obviously expressionless because he was bored, but it made everyone around him feel an inexplicable chill.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is in a bad mood. He is also the closed disciple of the elder of Wuji Sect. Without Jue Ling Lin Chuan can only attend classes with a group of ten-year-old students, but Jiang Luo has already started to teach in the school.

In the past hundred years of the Wuji Sect, apart from that little monk, there has been a 16-year-old Qi Sea Realm like Jiang Luo.

"The amount of controllable spiritual power determines our cultivation, but the altar is the foundation of our cultivation. When you step into the Qi Sea Realm, you can control your consciousness and enter the altar in your mind. At that time, it can be regarded as the official start of the journey of asking."

"Exploring the Dao is the lifelong pursuit of my generation of monks, but people have the seven emotions and six desires. Only by walking through the world of mortals can we temper a tenacious Dao heart. After the beginningless secret realm is opened, all fellow disciples here will also I started to practice in the world of mortals, I hope everyone can keep their hearts clear."

For Jiang Luo, the daily evening class is a kind of practice, learning new things by reviewing the past, even if it is just teaching some common sense, she can use this to make her literary heart more stable.

Jiang Luo's voice fell, and soon some students raised their hands and asked excitedly:

"Sir, tell us about the secret realm!"

Although the secret realm has nothing to do with students who haven't awakened their spirits yet, they still couldn't help being curious.

Jiang Luo frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to interrupt the rhythm of his lecture, but looking at everyone's hopeful eyes, he put down the scroll helplessly, and asked calmly:

"Do you know why Jingxuan Jiuzhou regards my Wuji sect as a demon sect, but the sect still stands?"

"Because we are strong and they are weak!"

"Because we are the heroes who resisted the demons!"

"Because they dare not enter Youzhou at all!"

Fanatic expressions appeared on the faces of the students. The strength of the sect made each of them extremely proud. Only Lin Chuan laughed a little self-deprecatingly, and said in a low voice:
"Because it's profitable."

Jiang Luo's ears moved slightly, and he took a deep look at Lin Chuan, then raised his hand, suppressed the students' speech, and said coldly:

"What you said is not unreasonable. If the suzerain hadn't been promoted to return to one realm, there would have been no room for the Wuji sect in this world, but no sect, no matter how powerful it is, would dare to be an enemy of the world, so apart from your so-called powerful, The so-called heroes, the reason why the Wuji Sect can stand up to now is because of the Beginningless Secret Realm."

"It's the only place where you can get companion spirit pets. For monks, apart from the most important land of law and wealth, companion spirit pets are one of the few shortcuts to immortality.

The secret realm opens every three years, and only the suzerain and the elders can open it with a special method. At that time, there will only be ten places for disciples in the sect, and the remaining twenty places will be distributed to Buddhaland, Daomen, The three major forces of Confucianism will also be distributed to the Qin imperial family.This is the foundation of the sect's longevity. "

Many times lies do not hurt people, but the truth is often like a sharp knife.

It is true that the Wuji Sect is powerful, but there are too many lunatics in the sect. They act according to their own will, only distinguish between good and evil, black and white, and do not understand the world, so they have the name of Mo Sect.

Although the sect believes that the strong are respected, no matter how fierce the internal fighting is, the disciples of the sect are all proud of the Wuji sect, because since they joined the sect, they have accepted the philosophy of knowing good and evil, distinguishing right from wrong, and preferring to take the right , not seeking in the song.

In addition, Youzhou is the closest state to the Sky Rifting Canyon, and at the other end of the Sky Rifting Canyon is the Demon Land, which is another continent ruled by the Demon Race, which is not suitable for human survival.

The only difference in appearance between the demons and humans is the horns on their heads. Under the command of the three major demon kings, there are countless demon soldiers. The Promise Sect is the first line of defense against the invasion of the demons.

If the Wuji Sect refuses to give up its benefits, the sect, which is already an enemy in the world, is likely to collapse amidst internal and external troubles.

"Giving out the places in the secret realm and defending against the demonic soil, only in this way can we exchange for the present peace, so you must cherish the present time, awaken your spirit as soon as possible, step into the sea of ​​​​qi as soon as possible, and defend the sect from the enemy!"

Jiang Luo will not whitewash the peace, but will only present the cruel facts in front of everyone. If they can't even accept the reality, these students are not qualified to enter the world to practice.

The atmosphere in the school was a bit cold, but Jiang Luo didn't mean to comfort everyone, but picked up the bamboo slips and began to talk about the main points of Jue Ling. Lin Chuan had heard it many times, but the voice in his head could be heard Very serious.

……

The melodious bell rang again, and Jiang Luo didn't have the habit of dragging the hall, so he directly closed the bamboo slips, cupped his hands at Lin Chuan, and left the school.

Lin Chuan also picked up the bookcase, and walked towards the Daozhu Garden at the foot of the mountain with his head down. When he walked out of the school, he saw a huge mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.

The five tallest peaks in the mountain range have no peaks, leaving only a smooth and flat platform, on which there are row upon row of huge palaces.

The school is on the mountainside of Wenqu Peak, and a few white cranes are lazily combing their feathers on the cornice of the school.

And in the clouds, those truncated mountaintops hang upside down on Pingfeng.

The three rounds of bright moons floating out of the sea of ​​clouds elongated Lin Chuan's figure. Unlike Lanxing, there are three companion stars in the Xuanjing Realm, Wenqu, Bodhi, and Daoyan. It is precisely because of these three rounds of bright moons that there is Confucianism The three major sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

……

Before stepping into the courtyard, Lin Chuan stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the bamboo forest next to him, a small figure walked out of the bamboo forest quickly, clasped his hands together and said, "Senior brother."

Xuan Jing, who was wearing a white cassock, looked only about ten years old, and his chubby face was very cute, but the shining Buddha seal between his brows made Lin Chuan feel a vague sense of oppression, but he did not Care, just laughed and joked:
"What good things did you bring me again?"

The little monk smiled shyly, looked around cautiously, dragged Lin Chuan into the yard, sat in the gazebo, and said the Buddha's name solemnly, and said with some concern:
"Amitabha, brother, the evil spirit on your body has become heavier."

"I don't want to, but every time I try to awaken the spirit, I will be pulled into that place... I may have no hope of immortality in my life."

Lin Chuan pretended to be sad, sat next to Xuan Jing, and skillfully curled up his shiny little bald head.

Among the peers in the sect, except for Jiang Luo, only the young monk could ignore the evil spirit on him and see Lin Chuan's side that escaped from reality.

Xuan Jing put on a bitter face, and didn't resist, anyway, the senior brother can always find a reason to turn his head, and it's right to help him resolve his depression.

"Senior Sister Luo isn't coming today?"

Lin Chuan sighed helplessly, sat back opposite him, and said with some regret:
"She should go back to practice, but not everyone is as angry as you."

"Senior brother, don't worry. The Xuanqing Jue you practiced is an undisputed Taoist tradition. As long as you realize the spirit, you will be able to make great strides in one day. This is the vein-solidifying grass I got today. I hope you will awaken the spirit soon."

Xuan Jing comforted her, tapped the beads with her fingers, took out a delicate wooden box from it, put it on the stone table, and left.

Lin Chuan didn't keep him, nor did he reject his kindness. For the current plan, the only way to let them down is to wake up as soon as possible.

Back in the house, Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the futon, put the horizontal knife pinned to his waist in front of him, and then he and the voice in his mind began to exchange their views on Jueling:

"Did Junior Sister Luo's class inspire you?"

The voice regulation in Lin Chuan's mind clearly analyzed:

"According to what your junior sister said, Jue Ling relies on meditation to absorb the energy wandering in the air, store it in the dantian, and then randomly open up a meridian leading to the altar in the mind, and then you can step into the sea of ​​qi.

Two of the difficulties are, one is to feel the energy dissipating in the air, which is what you call aura, and the other is to use consciousness to control the ability, but there is also a special situation, that is, some people with extraordinary talents will experience Daoyan It is an illusory test. If you fail to pass it, you will have no hope of awakening in this life. I suspect that this is the reason why you cannot awaken. "

Lin Chuan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly:

"I also have the same suspicion. Every time I meditate, before I can feel the aura, my consciousness will be pulled into the battlefield... Why don't you try to meditate once, in case you can succeed in awakening the spirit, and meet again When it is dangerous, it can be regarded as one more means."

"...Alright, I'll let you know when I have the result."

The voice in his mind paused for a moment, and then he responded. Lin Chuan didn't waste any more time, picked up the straight knife in front of him, picked up the flagon behind the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

The moonlight was cut by the branches into irregular light and shadows, and the path leading to the back mountain was very quiet, only the sound of Lin Chuan's footsteps.

Lin Chuan remembered the "Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and martial arts" that Jiang Luo said in class. Jiang Luo gave corresponding introductions about Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, but did not mention martial arts.

Compared with the first three, martial arts has indeed declined, and all major sects look down on those martial arts who only cultivate the body.

Martial arts are not suitable for beginners, and the way of cultivation is very difficult. Anyone who can feel spiritual will basically not choose to practice martial arts, so only those secular forces will invite some warriors to visit the home guard...

"Boy, there is no way out for practicing knives."

Before he knew it, Lin Chuan had reached the bamboo forest in the back mountain of Wenqu Peak. The sky was full of stars and the bamboo leaves were still asleep. When the old Huangtou greeted him, he still said "There is no way out", and his voice still smelled of alcohol.

"Practice yourself like this."
