return from cultivation

Chapter 648
Not long after, the previous sword cultivator came out and said, "Master let you in."

Zhou Hongjun hummed, and then led Suhang into the mansion.On the way, he reminded Suhang, "Master doesn't like to be noisy when he is resting in the mansion. Brother Zhou must speak in a quieter voice, so as not to offend the old man."

Suhang sighed, his attitude could not be described as perfunctory, nor could he be considered attentive.Zhou Hongjun didn't want to mention it, so he could only let him go.

After walking for half a minute, the two came to a lobby.There is a huge clay figurine in front of it, and an old man is standing under the clay figurine, looking up.In front of the clay figurine, there is a futon with a sunken center, which seems to have been sitting for a long time.

The clay figurine is nine meters high and has begun to take shape, but it is not yet clear who is carved.Just to place the clay figurines, the floors of the upper floors were demolished.

Zhou Hongjun seemed to have seen this clay figurine before, and he didn't show any strange appearance at all. He stepped forward and bowed in salute: "Disciple Zhou Hongjun, I have seen Master."

Yan Zhongli didn't turn around, just waved his hand casually, as if saying don't disturb him.Zhou Hongjun hurriedly pulled Suhang aside, not daring to say anything.

Suhang looked at the clay figurine, then at Yan Zhongli, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know either. One day after the master entered the heaven-human realm, he suddenly got such a thing. But he couldn't tell what he wanted to carve, so his cultivation base broke through to the late stage of the heaven-human realm. This clay figurine is still just It just took human form," Zhou Hongjun explained.

Suhang was slightly taken aback. Has the origin of this clay figurine been so long?Although Yan Zhongli is a peerless figure, it took him a full 200 years to advance from the early stage of the Heavenly Human Realm to the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.The clay figurine in front of him was not made of hard material, but more like a lump of ordinary mud.But even so, it took him 200 years to carve a human figure?

With Yan Zhongli's cultivation base, not to mention mud, even hard oolong iron, after such a long time, it should produce a few flowers.

Zhou Hongjun was also very puzzled by this, and said in a low voice: "But since carving this clay figurine, Master's temperament has improved a lot. In the past, we brothers didn't dare to get close to him when he was short-tempered. Very eloquent."

Su Hang was startled again, suddenly felt that there was a sense of déjà vu.

Seeing Yan Zhongli standing under the clay figurine, only looking up but not moving, Suhang suddenly thought of a famous dialogue in Zen classics.

That was a Zen disciple at the peak of the soul manifesting stage. He spent 300 years in order to break through to the early stage of the heaven-human realm but failed.Regardless of his talent or understanding, he is very good, he can be called a genius.However, such a character is more difficult to break through than normal people, which is really puzzling.

Therefore, this Zen disciple asked a Zen master who had reached the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm to ask.

That mighty man asked, "How did you cultivate?"

The student of Zen Buddhism replied: "I meditate in front of the Buddha every day, hoping to understand something, but for 300 years, I have not realized anything."

That mighty man laughed and said, "Go back, smash the Buddha statue, and break through."

The Zen disciple was stunned and didn't understand what it meant, but Da Neng didn't explain it to him.After the disciple went back, he hesitated for many days, finally gritted his teeth and smashed the statue of Buddha who had been enlightened for hundreds of years.When the Buddha statue shattered, he suddenly woke up and understood the truth.

After studying Zen for hundreds of years, my heart is like a stubborn stone, so I naturally don't understand its meaning.But the Buddha statue is broken, there is no concern, no reference, so he can rely on his own comprehension to understand what he really wants to comprehend.

Sometimes, what your predecessors give you is not necessarily a reminder, but may also be a constraint.Only by breaking free from the shackles can we be detached.

This example can better explain what can't be built without breaking, and then build after breaking.

And Yan Zhongli in front of him seemed somewhat similar to that example.He has studied this statue for 200 years, but he has only just carved out a human figure. If he wants to complete it completely, he may not have a chance in 800 years.Because, he may also be caught in some kind of obsession, he is vague about the things in front of him, and has no idea what he wants at all.Only by smashing clay figurines can one know exactly what one wants to carve.

Suhang originally planned to talk to him, but then he thought about it, sword cultivation and Zen cultivation are not the same family, and that example may not be suitable for Yan Zhongli.If he said the wrong thing and made this late-stage sword cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm displeased, then there would be another trouble for no reason.

Therefore, Suhang thought for a while and chose to remain silent.

After a long time, Yan Zhongli sighed softly.Instead of looking at the clay figurine, he turned around to look at Zhou Hongjun.His eyes swept over this disciple, and then settled on Su Hang.

His eyes, like two sharp swords, pierced people's hearts.The sweat pores all over Su Hang's body seemed to have sword energy coming in, making him very uncomfortable.The primordial spirit in the Palace of Fate noticed the abnormality of his body, he stood up, and with a simple movement, he seemed to hold up a piece of heaven and earth.

This is not a method, but represents a belief.It is not the Palace of Fate that the Yuanshen opened up, but the original heart of Suhang.

The discomfort in his body was immediately swept away, and Suhang suddenly felt relaxed.With piercing eyes, he looked at Yan Zhongli without any strangeness.

There was a trace of surprise in Yan Zhongli's eyes. Since he was promoted to the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, no one below the Heavenly Human Realm did not retreat wherever he looked.Only Suhang, in just a short moment, fully adapted to this pressure.

"You are very good." Yan Zhongli said.

When Zhou Hongjun first came out of Xianshang Dharma Realm, he once told him that Suhang broke Zhang Feiyu with one finger.It is suspected that he may not be in the stage of manifesting the soul, but a master of the heaven and man realm.

But Yan Zhongli knew very well that this young man did not have the power of heaven and earth in his body, and he had no connection with the power of heaven and earth when he was walking.If he is a celestial being, then what are the other celestial realms?Fairy?
Obviously, this young man has a strange ability, which can exert power beyond his own cultivation.

To be praised by the number one sword cultivator in the world, who would not be ecstatic.But Suhang didn't feel too happy, he just bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Senior's power is far inferior to this junior's."

Regardless of cultivation level or age, Yan Zhongli is indeed worthy of the name of a senior.

Seeing that Su Hang was so polite, Yan Zhongli nodded, and he walked to the futon and sat down, asking, "Why are you here looking for this old man?"

Zhou Hongjun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhou knows something about Faxiu. The Lord of Tiangang was defeated in the battle, and the capital ordered us to form an army to protect the country. I thought, bringing him here might give me some advice."

"Oh? How much do you know about Faxiu?" Yan Zhongli asked.

Suhang thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, saying: "I have seen Dharma Cultivators with my own eyes, and I know that they rely on Dharma Stones for cultivation, not spiritual energy or the power of heaven and earth. As long as the number of Dharma Stones is sufficient, there is no limit. lifting power."

"This is the first time I've heard of this statement." Yan Zhongli seemed a little interested, and asked, "Where did the magic stone come from?"

"Extract from all things." Suhang replied.

"Alchemy?" Yan Zhongli asked.

"Similar, but not exactly the same, it belongs to another system." Suhang replied: "So, I hope that the capitals can unite with Fuyuan, Kongling, and Dayan. You can also send people to contact them. The four countries form an alliance Army, together to conquer Faxiu, otherwise, if they are given enough time, it will become a serious disaster. At that time, the fate of the Tiangang land will be the future of the other countries."

A strange look flashed in Yan Zhongli's eyes, as if he was surprised that Su Hang would make Fa Xiu so terrible.In the eyes of practitioners, the only way to practice in the world is theirs.As for Dharma cultivation, there may be a difference in strength, but it is impossible for the difference to be too great.And what Suhang said is that if the number of magic stones is sufficient, the strength can be increased without limit. To be honest, it is hard for Yan Zhongli to believe it.

For a peerless person like him, it took hundreds of years to cultivate to the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm. The cultivation is so difficult, how could there be a shortcut to reach the sky in one step?If so, wouldn't it be a joke for practitioners to practice hard?
Therefore, Yan Zhongli waved his sleeves and said, "The old man has already heard what Zhou Xiaoyou said. Zhou Hongjun, Zhou Xiaoyou is just here, take him to look around. If you need anything, go to the household department to get it."

This sounded polite, but in fact, he was already chasing someone away.
