Chapter 489 There is no other way to practice, and the avenue is in the center?
.om
Along the huge steps carved out of the mountains, everyone slowly stepped up.
While marching, Fang Tian unexpectedly remembered a passage from an ancient Chinese book from a previous life: "The country in the West has transformed people, entered water and fire, penetrated gold and stone, reversed mountains and rivers, moved cities and towns, took advantage of the void and did not fall, and did not touch the solid."
Qi, ever-changing and infinite."
"Entering water and fire, penetrating metal and stone", he can't do it yet, but he can imagine it. Far or not far away on the road of magic, there is such a gift. As long as he continues to move forward, one day, he
Can do it.
"Reverse mountains and rivers, move cities and towns" is already in the palm of his hand and at his feet. Although his "reverse mountains and rivers" are only small, or even super small. However, such power is not something he has just come here.
What can he imagine in this world?
"Taking advantage of the weak point and not falling" is also behind him. If he wants, he can ride on the ice and snow castle in the sky and travel across the entire continent. Of course, he needs to come down from time to time to rest, and there is still a long way to go.
It is not the state of "traveling to the North Sea in the morning and traveling to the South Sea in the evening", but the difference between the two is nothing more than a level difference.
Before I knew it, I had come this far.
It was only eight months, and in this world, it was less than a year.
What will the situation be like ten years from now?
Thinking of this, Fang Tian felt a faint longing in his heart. It was not to dominate the world, nor to dominate all living beings, but just as he moved forward step by step, the road under his feet became wider and wider, and the world in his heart became wider and wider.
Big, the world in my eyes is getting wider and wider.
The body is becoming healthy, the spirit is condensing, and the mind is becoming clear. All in all, the whole person is "sublimating".
It's a feeling called "zilling".
Unknowingly, or even in the blink of an eye, the nine steps were all gone, and what appeared before everyone's eyes was a large square.
Just when they stepped over the ninth step and stepped onto the square, facing the huge square, several people turned around unconsciously and looked towards the way they came, and then turned around again and looked towards the end of the square.
There are eighty-one steps, divided into nine sections by squares.
It goes without saying that these nine sections should correspond to levels one to nine of the magician's apprentice stage. But why is there such a square between each level?
The thirteen people in the field, except Fang Tian, all had their own guesses in their minds, and it was obvious that they could not let go of this opportunity that might contain something.
So someone asked.
"Your Highness, is this square used for rest?" The speaker was Carter, an eighth-level magician and one of the former "Eight Friends of Maple Grove".
The previous nine steps. Although not comparable to the stairs in the previous life, they were only half a meter high and about two meters wide. Walking through such nine steps, except for people or patients who had reached a certain level in the previous life,
, obviously there is no need to "rest".
Therefore, the meaning of Carter's words was obvious. He was not asking about the rest after walking through the steps, but the rest after advancing to a level in the practice of magic.
This kind of "rest" between levels involves not only the transition from the first-level magic apprentice to the second-level magic apprentice, nor not only the transition from the ninth-level magic apprentice to the mage, but also applies to the mage. For example, from the newly promoted mage
to junior mage.
Therefore, after Carter asked, not only Orson and Ryan, the two lowest-ranking people in the field, were attentive, but also the new mages such as Andy Eric were also looking forward to Fang Tian's answer. It can even be said that their
The expectations are greater than those of Ivan, Carter, Orson and others.
The atmosphere in the venue, at this time, was quiet and subtle.
Fang Tian smiled, and then said to Carter: "Well, if you are weak, it is appropriate to rest here at this time. After resting, you can look back to your heart's content. The scenery behind you is all in sight at this time. At the same time,
, naturally, you will also think that at that high place, at that higher place, the scenery should be better. And if you are strong, come here, this wide square may not be a good place for a leisurely stroll
."
"Adjust your heart? Dear President, how can you adjust your heart?" Andy smiled and asked half-seriously.
"I have heard two sayings. One is that the spirit likes to be pure, but the heart is disturbed, and the heart likes to be quiet, but desires are involved. Therefore, if you can always calm your mind, your mind will be calm and you can always clear your heart.
, then the spirit will be pure."
"This is the so-called 'Calming Yu and Clearing the Mind'."
As soon as Fang Tian said these words, all the breaths of the thirteen people in the field froze, and soon, the breathing of several more people became heavy.
"It is said that in ancient times, this method was very popular. Many practitioners, even great practitioners, sought remote wilderness, went into the mountains, and lived on isolated islands, far away from the world." Fang Tian started to brag again. Anyway, it was "according to rumors" again.
"Up" again
"In the ancient times," it was absolutely correct and had no proof. You can brag as much as you want. "This school can be called the 'Severing Love and Jue Yu School'. Later, some people even proposed the idea of 'preserving the laws of heaven and destroying human beings'."
slogan."
"In short, anything with the purpose of 'purity', no matter how deep or shallow it is, whether it is basic moderation or complete abstinence, can be classified into this category."
Having said this, Fang Tian looked around at the people with different expressions, and then said:
"This school had a great influence at first. But gradually, some people started to raise questions. Most of them were people who had not gained much from practicing this method in the end. They felt that the gains were not worth the losses, so some people said angrily, 'We
Are you cultivating so hard just to transform yourself into a wooden or stone man? It’s okay not to do this kind of training!'"
"So, they turned around, either hesitantly or resolutely, and walked in another direction, a direction completely opposite to the one in front of them."
“They indulge their desires, indulge as much as possible, and indulge endlessly, and believe that only in this indulgence, they truly face themselves, face up to their beauty and ugliness, face up to their humbleness and height, can they truly understand their hearts.
See your nature. - If you don’t indulge, how can you know what you need and want? How can you know your own truth?”
"This is the so-called 'Zongyu Mingxin Dharma'."
"'Changing Yu to clear one's heart' and 'Zong Yu clearing one's heart', two methods and two directions, both seem to make sense."
When Fang Tian said this, he stopped.
Everyone waited for a while, either suddenly, in shock, or in deep contemplation. They didn't wait until the next step, and they knew that the words had already been finished.
"Your Highness, what is your choice?" Xi Yan asked with hope and confusion.
From the perspective of digging a well underground and meditating in the well, Fang Tian's choice should be obviously "to clear the heart", but from the perspective of serving as the city lord, it is not the way to "clear the heart" at all.
It is closer to "Zongyu Mingxin".
So everyone was confused.
These two completely opposite directions are destined to be in only one of them, just like a person cannot walk south and north at the same time.
That doesn't make sense.
"Left or right, these two directions are not my choice." Fang Tian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, this is what you said before in the 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great True Method of Destroying Illusions and Destroying Demons', 'Walking to the left is definitely madness, and walking to the right is also delusion. There is no other way to practice, and the road lies in the center?'" Mu
Luo frowned and said slowly.
Why you frown is actually very simple.
That is, there are two roads, either left or right, and there is no middle. It is either 'sending Yu' or 'verting Yu'. It is impossible to send Yu today, to indulge tomorrow, and then return to sending Yu tomorrow tomorrow.
To do that would require you to become insane, and you would not be able to be a normal person, let alone a cultivator.
"You should also be able to think of it. It doesn't matter. Apart from these two directions, there is no third direction." Fang Tian said lightly.
His answer did not surprise Muluo and others, but after hearing his words, everyone was confused. - Since neither direction was his choice, he made it clear at this time.
There is no third direction, then——
What is his choice?
If it was a person from Fang Tian's previous life, in this case, he would probably think of a story called the Spear and the Shield. The spear is indestructible, and the shield is indestructible. So what is the result of the conflict?
The result...the result can only be no result.
Therefore, when everyone was depressed, puzzled or crazy, Fang Tian just pointed to the front of the square, and then pointed to the building far above, smiling and saying to everyone: "Everyone, let's go up a little further, when we get there
At the top, let’s see how the scenery looks like?”
When they took another step, everyone had lost their previous enthusiasm and were all depressed to death.
The lights don't light up.
In the previous training of everyone present, there was no concept of direction, but at this time, this concept was clarified by Fang Tian, so for them, from the mages such as Andy Muro to the magic apprentices such as Orson Lane,
Naturally, they all understood that their previous cultivation had been walking in these two directions, either lightly or heavily.
However, Fang Tian said again that he would not take either direction.
In other words, these two directions are incorrect?
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, this feeling of suddenly stopping at the most critical moment is really terrible.
"Haha, let me ask you a question. Suppose the sky is ten million high, and there is a person building steps on the ground. Each step is calculated as a number in height. On the first day, he builds one step, and on the second day, he builds two steps.
If he builds three in three days and continues like this, on how many days will he be able to build the steps to the sky?"
"If someone can tell me what day it is when I reach the end of these eighty-one steps, then I will tell you my direction."
Fang Tian said with a slight smile.
"Your Highness, the old man has trouble with his legs and feet. Can he rest for a while anytime and anywhere?" After hearing Fang Tian's question, old man Eric asked after being silent for a long time.
"You have trouble with your legs and feet? No matter if they believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway." Fang Tian answered like this.
