Spending the power of his soul to help Yu Tianqi recover, this old man seemed to have spent a lot of it. The fatigue in his eyes was undisguised. It is no wonder that this old man is an ordinary human body.
The soul power is not weak, but it cannot withstand a lot of wear and tear, which is why the old man looks extremely weak.
Yu Tianqi was frightened, so he quickly stepped forward, supported the old man, and slowly helped him sit down in the field.
The old man looked at Yu Tianqi in front of him with relief. After a while, he showed a kind smile and said, "Young man, looking at your clothes, it seems that you are not from this city. You should be from an outside cultivator, right?"
Yu Tianqi was shocked and took a deep look at the old man. He really didn't expect that the old man knew his origin. Immediately, Yu Tianqi didn't hide it, nodded and said, "I don't dare to deceive the senior, junior Tian Yu,
From out of bounds!”
"Haha, no wonder you can reach the 100th floor of the Confucian Tower! It turns out that you are an outside cultivator, so no wonder! Judging from your strength, you should be a Yuanli master at the peak of the Holy King, right?" The old man smiled.
Yu Tianqi was stunned, and his heart was filled with panic. He never expected that the old man in front of him knew so much about the outside world. His eyes when he looked at the old man were full of doubts and surprise.
Seeing this, the old man laughed and said, "Young man, don't be surprised. Although I am a person in the world, I know the outside world very well, because there are many records about the outside world in our city. These records have extremely detailed knowledge about the outside world.
Introduction. It must be because you have not entered the so-called holy realm of your Yuanli masters, so you stopped at the 100th floor! If you had entered, you should be able to continue climbing the tower!"
"Oh? That's it!" Hearing the old man's explanation, Yu Tianqi understood clearly, and immediately held his fists in his hands with great respect and said, "Dare you ask me your senior's name?"
"Haha, the name is just a code name. If you really want to know, you can call me Yu Xian!" the old man said with a smile.
"Yu Xian!" Yu Tianqi was shocked in his heart. Yu Tianqi had already heard the name Yu Xian before climbing the tower. He was one of the three great Confucians in the city and the most legendary one. There are various legends about him,
He became famous in the world. He was literate at the age of three, dreamed of Taoism at the age of five, and became a great Confucian at the age of twenty. Later, he read all the ancient books in the city, immersed himself in the Confucian pagoda, and preached for three days every ten years.
It took a hundred years for Ruta to realize Taoism, and he was the only great Confucian in the history of this city who did not leave behind any orthodoxy.
In this city, anyone who becomes a great Confucian will leave a legacy, so that in this city, it can be said that hundreds of schools of thought are contending, with countless paths to enlightenment. But this foolish sage did not inherit the mantle, and even confiscated a personal successor.
Disciple, no one knows what this sage is thinking. Even the other two great scholars know nothing about this man. They only know that he lived in this tower for most of his life.
"I didn't expect it to be Senior Yuxian, Junior Tianyu, I have met you sir!" Yu Tianqi bowed respectfully, not only to thank Yuxian for his help, but also to express his admiration for this great Confucian! Yu Tianqi knew that becoming a great Confucian
, that is, the state of mind has reached an extremely high state. In the world of Yuanli, the lowest one has also broken through the Holy Lord and become a strong man of Yuanzun. And this foolish sage can use the soul power to such an extent. It is obvious that the state of
Higher, even reaching the realm of Emperor Yuan is not impossible. That's why Yu Tianqi admires this sage very much. You must know that this foolish sage has only realized it for more than a hundred years. If he is a Yuanli master, he will
To the outside world, he is definitely a peerless genius!
"Young man, don't be too polite. I am just a scholar, not a gentleman. On the road of Taoism, I am just an apprentice!" At this point, Yuxian seemed a little discouraged, shook his head and said,
"Okay, young man, don't talk about old age, let's talk about you!"
"What's my matter?" Yu Tianqi was stunned, his heart was racing, and he immediately realized something, with a happy face on his face, and said, "Please give me some advice, sir!"
"Haha, it's not like giving advice, it's just a little understanding!" Yu Xian said with a smile, "My little friend climbed the tower, and the old man saw it in his eyes. Your understanding is indeed rare in ancient times, but your understanding is not
Your understanding is just a sense of inheritance!"
"A sense of inheritance?" Yu Tianqi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Sir, please explain clearly!"
"My little friend, along the way, except for the tower that slowed down my speed in the early stage, in the later stage, my little friend's enlightenment has come naturally. I think, there must be a great treasure in my body, and it is the only way to help my little friend's enlightenment. Old man
Are you right?" Yu Xian narrowed his eyes and asked.
Yu Tianqi was shocked and looked deeply at Yu Xian. In front of such a great wise man, he had nothing to hide. Immediately, Yu Tianqi nodded and said without hiding it, "I'll be honest with you, sir.
My little friend is indeed carrying a treasure!"
"Haha, it can help you understand Taoism. This treasure is really good! It's a pity that success or failure depends on it. If I rely on this treasure, I will never be able to set foot on the hundred-story tower in this life!" At this point, Yu Yu
Xian showed an unprecedented serious look and said, "The hundred floors in front of this tower are the principles of heaven."
, this tower was created by the great power of heaven and was cast by the Tao of Heaven! However, what is behind this tower is not the Tao method, but the thoughts of the caster of this tower, a path of the caster's own perception, not some supreme avenue! So!
If you want to rely on treasures to climb this tower, without your own thoughts, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you!”
"What! Is it the avenue transformed by my own thoughts?" Yu Tianqi was shocked in his heart, and his eyes showed deep disbelief. At this moment, Yu Tianqi understood why he was suddenly hurt before, because of the star map.
The Tao can only stop here. Going forward, it will be difficult for the Tao of the Star Chart to be integrated into this tower, so this tower will actively block one's own enlightenment.
"Yes, for countless years, our city has passed down countless traditions of various Taoism, but there is not one true Confucian among them. Do you know why? Because these people have no self-thinking and can only follow the footsteps of their predecessors. Therefore, they
The maximum limit is to stop here and make no further progress!" Yu Xian talked about it.
"I have enlightened the Tao all my life, but I have not passed on the mantle. This is because the day I attained the Tao, it became clear that all inheritance is illusory. Only I know my own Tao. Forcibly passing it on will only hinder the thoughts of future generations of disciples. Therefore, I do not
The Taoist tradition has not been passed down, and not even a single disciple has been included!”
"So that's it!" Yu Tianqi thought about the meaning of Yuxian's words thoughtfully. This old man would never make a mistake. The hidden meaning in his words was to tell himself. If he could use the star map to enlighten himself, he could only
It will make your own Taoism narrow and even block your own thinking. Only by relying on your own heart to see and understand can you form your own thoughts and form your own Taoism.
"Shun Tian! Go against the Tao! It turns out that all this is just illusion. There is no heaven and no Tao. What people are pursuing is just the illusory Tao of Heaven, but what really affects them is their own Tao! No wonder there are countless Yuanli masters in the world.
, so many people have enlightened the Tao, but only a handful have achieved it. It turns out that pursuing other people’s Tao is a wrong approach!”
Yu Tianqi had a clear understanding in his heart, but he seemed a little unclear. Immediately, Yu Tianqi said with some emotion, "If according to what the senior said, the first hundred floors are just the way of the world, then the Confucian pagoda behind it is this pagoda."
If you continue to climb the tower if you build the way that can be felt by great power, you will fall into other people's ways. Isn't it the same to fall into the way of heaven and fall into other people's ways?"
Hearing the words, the old man showed admiration in his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, you have indeed realized it, but you are wrong! The first hundred levels are the so-called way of heaven, but whether it goes along or against it, whether it is enlightenment or not,
Borrowing, but it all depends on the individual. As the old saying goes, only by having your own thoughts can you see clearly all illusions! As for the Confucian pagoda at the back, it is not the way of the caster, but an ordinary and ordinary tower. You have understood
, you can move forward, but if you can’t realize it, you can only stop!”
"Thought! Self-thinking, self-cultivation of the Tao!" Yu Tianqi thought quickly. He had said before that the Tao he understood was the Tao in his heart, but he had no Tao at all. At this moment, Yu Tianqi understood what he meant.
Your own way is your own thinking. Everything you do is without thinking. For example, when you climbed the hundred floors of the tower, you only went to understand the way of heaven, and did not think about it. With the help of the star chart, you got to where you are today.
Yes, it can be said that Yu Tianqi succeeded and achieved something that many people have never done in their lives, but it can also be said that Yu Tianqi failed, because Yu Tianqi's path was not his own, but his own.
Continuously moving forward along the footsteps of others. Yu Tianqi is no different from those under the tower. They are both thoughtless people. The only difference is the difference between those above the tower and those below the tower.
"I realized the Tao on the tower, and they realized the Tao below the tower. The Tao they understood is the Tao of others. What's the difference between me and them?" Yu Tianqi laughed at himself. Only at this moment did Yu Tianqi know that he was very wrong.
It's outrageous, it's a big mistake! If he continues, Yu Tianqi can surpass the hundred levels and break through the Holy Lord. However, once this happens, Yu Tianqi has embarked on the path of others. What he calls "defying heaven" is actually...
By the way, such achievements are limited after all!
"Well, young man, you are not a pedantic person. This is what I have said. It depends on you whether you can understand it or not!" Yuxian said lightly, got up with difficulty, and leaned on his hand.
The worn wooden crutches walked towards the 101st floor step by step.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianqi hurriedly came to his senses and said loudly, "Senior Yuxian, why are you helping me?"
Yuxian hesitated, but did not turn around. He just said lightly, "I'm not helping you, I'm just appreciating my talent!"
"Huh?" Yu Tianqi was startled, took a deep breath, and said, "When can the junior see the senior again?"
"Goodbye? It would be better not to see you again. We are old and have not much time left. Maybe we will never see each other again in this life!" Yu Xian was a little disappointed and slowly picked up his steps and continued to walk step by step.
Yu Tianqi felt sad, looking at Yu Xian's back was not a good feeling. Immediately, Yu Tianqi said again, "Senior Yu Xian, when can we meet again?"
"Huh?" Yu Xian was startled. He didn't expect Yu Tianqi to be so insistent. Immediately, Yu Xian turned his head, looked at Yu Tianqi deeply and said, "Why do you still want to see me?"
"It's not why, it's just what's in my heart!" Yu Tianqi said firmly, "Senior, when can we meet again?"
Hearing this, Yu Xian kept looking at Yu Tianqi with his wise eyes. After a while, he showed a smile and said, "If you want to see me, you can only continue to climb the tower! But I don't have much time left. Three months, three months."
If you don't come up within the month, we may be destined to never have a chance to meet each other in this life!" As he said that, Yu Xian smiled slightly, raised his steps and continued to move upward, disappearing from Yu Tianqi's sight.
"Three months! Are there still three months left?" Yu Tianqi took a deep breath, with determination in his eyes. The reason why he still wanted to see this foolish sage was that Yu Tianqi had many doubts in his heart and wanted to continue.
Asking, but Yu Tianqi knew that his level was too low now, and if he asked, it would be counterproductive, so he could only wait until his level improved.
"Senior Yuxian said within three months. It seems that he understood what I was thinking. However, due to the deadline, he could only give me three months. However, this is enough!" Yu Tianqi murmured.
He said, although three months is very short, for Yu Tianqi it is just a snap of a finger, but Yu Tianqi does not care, because Yu Tianqi firmly believes that he will be able to achieve a breakthrough in three months!
"Think about yourself, you still need to think about yourself!"
With a deep sigh, Yu Tianqi turned around and left Ruta, because Yu Tianqi knew that staying here would be of no use. What he needed to do most now was to understand and find his own path.
