my unparalleled way

Chapter 272 Bondage and Freedom

No one knew what Yin Li was thinking.

Su Qiu didn't know, Leng Yao didn't know, and everyone in the hall didn't know.

Even Lin Si, who has had a deep talk with her for a few days and can be said to know her the most in the world, can't figure out her thoughts.

After Mu Zheping approached him and told him that Yin Li had brought Tianyin to the Yingbin Hall, he already expected that it might be difficult to escape tonight.

Once she blocks the fluctuation of the sky seal in the palace, Yin Li will immediately get a sense from her sky seal.

She doesn't cover the fluctuations, once she leaves her bedroom and sneaks outside the palace, she can also get the induction.

There are two choices, whether it is the former or the latter, I can't hide it from her.

He was even ready for a bloody battle against the palace, so he stole Yin Li's sickle like a fool.

What he was holding was the intention of weakening the enemy by every point. Yin Li, who had lost his weapon, would definitely lose strength. After catching up, he and Mu Zheping joined forces, and he might still be able to escape.

While she may bring hordes of enemies, she herself is definitely the first to catch up...

However, to his great surprise, there was no movement behind him.

As a result, he and Mu Zheping sneaked out of the palace from the bottom of the river so smoothly and entered the outer city.

Since Mu Zheping could sense Yin Li's existence, Lin Si already knew that Yin Li's position had not changed at all, and she didn't seem to realize that she had escaped at all.

But it shouldn't be. Based on Lin Si's understanding of her, this insidious woman would never be so careless.

She even broke her plan to cover the sky seal in the past few days today. She even told herself that she was going to a banquet tonight, implying that there was no one above her...

Since she can think of all this, when she takes Tianyin to the banquet, she will always pay attention to her movements!
What is this woman's plan?Could it be that he deliberately let himself escape for a while, and then sent someone to capture him back, so that he could experience the change of mood from full of hope to despair again?

No, probably not. Although this woman always likes to do some wicked things, she is not an arrogant person.She also believes in the creed that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, and will not leave any opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.

This can be seen from the fact that when the two of them fought that night, as a master of breaking the realm, she used sneak attacks to deal with herself, a 'lower of the Yuan realm'.

With these complicated thoughts in mind, he and Mu Zheping dived into the bottom of the river in the outer city again. He still planned to leave Linjia City through the waterway, after all, the whole city of Linjia City is now blocked.

The process was still extremely smooth, and the two carefully pushed Yinli to destroy the iron fence at the bottom of the river. Afterwards, there was indeed a hidden warning formation in the river below the city wall.

It's a pity that this formation is not very advanced. After all, there are very few advanced formation masters, and many people can only learn superficially.And the Tianhe Kingdom is not considered a powerful country, and it is already very good to have formations hidden in the river.

Lin Si and Mu Zheping had been prepared for a long time. After discovering these two warning formations, they began to break the formation.

For others, it may be extremely difficult to break the formation.

First of all, it is necessary to accurately find the base and eye of the formation, and then use various special techniques, not only to avoid touching the formation, but also to enter it to dismantle it.

And for formations like the early warning formation, if only one foundation of the formation is destroyed, although it can be paralyzed, it will definitely make a huge noise at the moment of paralysis.

However, for Lin Si and Mu Zheping, all of this was far less troublesome.

After exploring the bottom of the river with the thin blue thread in his mind, Lin Si easily found several connection points of the formation and the spirit stone that was used as the foundation of the formation.

Of course, these spirit stones cannot be dug out directly. Once they are moved a little, the formation will probably alert the guards above.

However, the two of Lin Mu, who had experience in breaking formations, just slowly attached the Yin force to the spirit stone, and then continued to wear down and devour the spirit power inside.

This formation is not very advanced, and the spirit stones used are only low-level spirit stones. Under the ravages of the two Yinli, they almost turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That's right, touching the spirit stone will cause movement.But when the spiritual power in the spirit stone was exhausted, there was no movement. Lin Si and Mu Zheping just artificially accelerated the process.

As the spirit stones in the base of the formation turned into empty shells, the two warning formations quickly and quietly became decorations.

The two swam forward again, and there was an iron fence in front of them again. As long as they got through, the two of them would have completely escaped from Linjia City.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two had already appeared on the riverside field more than ten miles north of Linjia City.

Here, Yin Li will not be able to sense his Heavenly Seal, unless she chases him out and chases him in the opposite direction.

Breathing the refreshing fresh air in the wilderness, lying on the ground and looking at Lin Si dotted with stars in the night sky, it was as if he had been reborn.

"When I was in the dark room, I was in a cage, and I felt extremely bound. When I walked out of the dark room, I felt that Yin Li's bedroom was a cage. When I walked out of the bedroom, I felt that the palace was a cage. When I walked out of the palace, I felt that Linjia City was a cage. And Walking out of Linjia City now, I feel that the entire Tianhe Kingdom is a cage, and it seems that I will never be free..."

Mu Zheping, who was sitting leaning beside him, said with a smile, "Life is not a cage. When you leave the Tianhe Kingdom, you will find that the entire Cangluo Continent is a cage, and people will always be bound in it."

Lin Si understood that the cage he was talking about was different from what he said just now. What he said was the bondage of the body, but what he said was the shackles of the soul.

"If I can get out of this world, will I be able to get real freedom?" He asked in a daze.

"No, when you walk out of this world, you are only a little closer to the stars in the night sky, which is still a cage. No matter how far you go, you are only in a cage called the universe. This cage, even if A master of the God Realm can't get out of it all his life, because it's a mystery whether it has a boundary. Even if he can get out, who knows, is there another cage outside the universe?"

"Universe?" Lin Si softly repeated the word Mu Zheping just said. This was a novel thing he had never heard before, and he only vaguely understood what Mu Zheping said.

However, he didn't dwell on why Mu Zheping knew this.

"According to what you said, isn't it true that people can never be truly free?"

Mu Zheping laughed and said, "What is freedom? What is bondage? Some people spend their whole lives trapped in villages of hundreds of miles, but he rarely feels uncomfortable. Some people sit in a country, how big is the world?" He can go anywhere, but he always feels that he is in shackles. The so-called freedom and bondage are not completely changed by the distance he can go."

"You mean, freedom and restraint are just feelings of the human heart?"

"It is the feeling of the human heart, but it is also added by external things. If you are trapped in a three-foot prison, no matter how open-minded you are, you will feel bound. If a person with great strength and power is entangled in various mundane affairs, even if he can travel in one day Even if you are all over the Cangluo Continent, you will also feel heavy. You still feel bound outside Linjia City, but because the foreign enemies are still there, you cannot be at ease."

"Can I really be free by forgetting all the shackles?"

"Can you forget it?" Mu Zheping said flatly.

"No, if you really do that, you are deceiving yourself."

"That's it. All we can do is try not to take the initiative to add constraints to ourselves, not to forget the constraints. How can there be real freedom in this world? It's nothing more than fewer constraints."

Lin Si nodded thoughtfully.

"Is it the same in practice? From the initial state to the peeping state, from the peeping state to the transitional state, from the transitional state to the original state...all of these are from the original world to another wider world." He suddenly said .

Mu Zheping laughed dumbly and said, "You are really a 'genius', can this be associated with cultivation?"

For Mu Zheping, everything in this world has rules to follow.The same is true for practice, he does not believe that the so-called perception of life can inspire people's practice.In the final analysis, spiritual practice is just the development of one's own potential.

The ones with high cultivation bases are just more thorough development of Qihai meridians, blood and bones in the body. As for the deep spiritual power, it is also a specific manifestation of it.

He didn't quite agree with Lin Si's mysterious and mysterious statement, because it was too ethereal and had no practical effect.

However, Lin Si didn't seem to hear his disapproval, and said to himself: "Every time we raise a realm, we actually break a layer of shackles. After removing a layer of shackles, as long as we can break the next layer of shackles, We will be able to rise to the extreme level and even break through the level! That’s right, it must be like this!”

Mu Zheping shook his head and smiled: "If you say it like this, everyone in the world should be in the realm of gods or even higher. It's just that God put too many shackles on him when he was born, and too many people spend their entire lives Can't open even a single lock, are you just an ordinary person until your death?"

"No, that's not what I meant. When God created things, God already had a preference. Some people's meridians and qi seas are not suitable for cultivation, while some people are limited by their physique. No matter how deep their understanding of cultivation is, they can only be trapped in A certain state. But this does not mean that the state everyone is in now is the state he should be in!"

"You mean, some people who have been trapped in the late stage of transition all their lives could have been promoted to the original state or even the extreme state. Some people who were trapped in the late stage of the extreme state could have entered the broken state?"

"That's right, they just haven't found a way to break the shackles, and they don't even know the existence of the shackles at all. They just think that they have exhausted their potential and gave up voluntarily."

Mu Zheping was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, but it doesn't seem to be very useful for us to improve our strength now."

Lin Si grinned and said, "How can it be useless? When we know the existence of the shackles, before breaking through to the next level, we will take the initiative to find the shackles that trap us, and actively think of ways to break the shackles. Let's And we won't doubt that our potential has been exhausted when we can't break through for a long time. We can even touch the shackles of the next level in advance when we have just broken through to the current level!"

"How much better is this than being at a loss? And we will no longer feel powerless and confused for the higher realms behind. When we regard all this as a bondage, when we use the mentality of a master of the gods to come When you look at the realm you are in, you will find that they are just difficulties, but not natural barriers!"

Mu Zheping's eyes lit up. Lin Si's words had no direct effect on improving their strength now.However, it has an unparalleled guiding effect on their future practice.

Although his idea is mysterious and mysterious, it is deeply in line with some of Mu Zheping's own ideas.

Breaking through the realm is no longer what most practitioners think, it can only rely on insights that can only be understood and unspeakable, but it has become a solution to one problem after another.

For a moment, the extreme, broken, and heavenly realms behind them seemed to be no longer shrouded in layers of fog as before, but became clearer.

And the two also forgot to talk, just lying on the grass in a daze.
