Enlightenment is difficult, and the process is dangerous. But I really don’t know how to write about this dangerous process better. Let’s just treat it as the protagonist opening a cheat.
On the front of the four doors are written the four characters "people", "clan", "country" and "law" respectively. On the lower left side are the simple explanations of the eleven characters.
The content seems simple, but Xie Xin feels that there is a vast universe hidden in it.
From a species to a planet, and finally the entire galaxy, almost everything is included.
And the choice he has to make is what path to take in this vast universe.
Whether it is small love in a narrow sense or universal love in a broad sense, he can only choose one.
According to his understanding, these four doors represent four meanings:
Renmen: Those who love me and the people I love, their joys, sorrows, and joys are what I need to care for. The "love" here is only for a very small group of people.
Clan: A nation, a blood group. To prosper and grow, this is what you need to care for. The 'love' here has initially taken on the meaning of fraternity.
Country Gate: A country, regardless of whether its citizens come from the same bloodline, needs care for its prosperity and strength. The 'love' here is obviously the scope of fraternity.
The method: Use love to peer into the Tao, and constantly pursue the true meaning of 'love'. This is what you need to devote yourself to physically and mentally. The 'love' here has been sublimated and turned into something like 'Tao'.
Judging from one's own status, it is natural to choose the Dharma. After all, since you have already entered the path of 'love', is there any reason not to continue to explore it in depth?
Because of this, he almost opened the Dharma door.
The reason why I say almost is because at this moment, Ruth’s voice came over again: “You must bite off more than you can chew, do your best!”
The most deceiving thing is that after she dropped these nine words, she fell silent again.
However, her meaning is very clear, that is, the Dharma School is not suitable for Xie Xin to practice at this stage.
What is your ability? So with your current strength, which door can you take?!
Xie Xin would not doubt Ruth's advice.
Because she is harming herself, it does her no good at all. To put it bluntly, she lives deep in her own conscious space. If she is finished, no one knows whether she will be finished with her.
And after she entered here, she reminded her again and again, probably because of this consideration?
So, the Dharma Door is obviously not suitable for you to walk in. So, of the remaining three doors, which one is more suitable for you?!
If it is the most suitable, then of course it is Renmen.
I used to be an otaku. Although I was a pseudo-otaku, I had very little experience in socializing with others.
Speaking of which, I have been introverted since I was a child, and I didn't have many real friends in school.
Speaking of truly opening your mind to contact with others, it seems that it started after coming to this era?!
This world is still so strange, and the only things I care about are a few existences that I really care about. Therefore, Renmen should be the most suitable existence for me.
"Wait!" When Xie Xin was about to open the door, he stopped.
This time Ruth did not continue to speak. It was obviously very difficult for her to break through the rules and leak the secret to herself.
Although she didn't give any hint, Xie Xin still stopped.
Because, deep inside his heart at this moment, something was slowly awakening.
Yes, this is the spirit of an angry young man who didn't know when he was young and frivolous.
At that time, I only thought about taking revenge on those who had committed crimes against China. Later, after hearing too much, seeing too much, and thinking too much, there was nothing worth being angry about.
Because at that time, I understood a truth: The country has not taken care of it, so why should I take care of it? Let’s not say that I am just a humble citizen, and China is not a foreign country. The national conditions directly lead to the incompatibility between us and people all over the world.
will be the same.
After thinking about it, this boiling blood is like being put into a cold pool. With a "squeak" sound, it slowly begins to cool down and is finally hidden in the depths of the soul.
But what's strange is that this thing was just hidden in the snow instead of just disappearing in time.
What's even more amazing is that at this moment, it woke up from its deep sleep and surfaced directly.
Why is this?
Perhaps the injustice he had done to China's fate back then has found a place to vent in this time and space?
Yes, this is a very critical period, a critical period that determines the direction of China for thousands of years.
There are so many talents in the Three Kingdoms. There are at least five hundred recorded talents, whether they are traitors or heroes. It can be said that this era is an era of talents and heroes.
But why in such an era, not only did they not create an unprecedented great empire, but they also led to a sharp decline in population due to mutual competition for hegemony?
The heroes may have received the glory they needed, but what they left behind was a sparsely populated, war-torn China.
What was waiting for it was the invasion of foreign races and the great integration of nationalities. To put it simply, it was at that time that the Chinese bloodline began to become less pure.
The most unreasonable thing is that we all live under one motherland and have the blood of the Chinese nation flowing in our bodies. Why are we divided into fifty-six ethnic groups?!
Is it because they feel that the Han bloodline is embarrassing? Or do they feel proud of the foreign bloodline in their bodies?!
I couldn't understand this thank you letter, and I complained a lot about it back then.
It's just that things are different now. The facts that you couldn't change in the past are now left to your own devices.
At this moment, Xie Xin seemed to understand.
Why didn't I travel to other eras, or even to another world, but to the end of the Han Dynasty?
Perhaps, this is the choice of one's own soul.
The rise of the Chinese nation is the issue that I am most concerned about.
So, he walked to the clan door, opened the door and walked in without any hesitation.
Behind the door, there is still a passage.
It's just different from the first one. As he moves forward, Xie Xin has a lot more things in his mind.
With every step he took, he seemed to change into a different character. The first time he became a primitive man seeking survival from heaven and earth; the second time he became a ruler who waged war against foreign countries in order to expand his ethnic group.
His identity is constantly changing, and the surrounding historical civilization is beginning to become complicated.
Soon, the Han Dynasty appeared, and he was a soldier guarding the border. In that scene, he was facing an army of hundreds of thousands of foreigners, with only five hundred old and weak men behind him.
In the change of roles, sometimes he felt the glory of the Chinese nation; sometimes he felt its sadness and helplessness. Unknowingly, he witnessed the rise, decline and unyieldingness of the Chinese nation.
"No matter what difficulties we face, no matter how contaminated our blood is. We are who we are, the Chinese nation, the blood of Yan and Huang!" Xie Xin suddenly shouted.
At this moment, something accumulated in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
It was at this moment that he came to the end of the passage.
"Pa bang..." bursts of applause sounded, and Dayu's shadow appeared again.
"Young man, it seems that you already know the essence of 'nation'." Different from the dull ones before, the virtual image in front of you is somewhat agile.
More importantly, he actually knew that he was the only one here.
"King Yu?!" Xie Xin said tentatively.
"But, it's me! But what appears in front of you is not my true self, but a ray of my soul." Dayu explained with a smile.
Without waiting for Xie Xin to ask further questions, he said directly: "I can only stay in this world for a short time, so you must remember every word I say.
The essence of a nation is its soul.
As long as there is the existence of the soul, the origin of culture, no matter where they are, no matter whether the blood of other races is mixed in their bodies, they are still the people of the Chinese nation. But without the heart of China, no matter how pure the blood in their bodies is,
It's just a foreign race.
Face your own lineage, keep the essence of your soul, and continue along this path. Your focus is the ‘Tao’ you are pursuing.”
After Dayu finished speaking in a hurry, the image disappeared.
As the shadow disappeared, two hidden compartments appeared, and another door leading to somewhere else opened.
Xie Xin is not interested in paying attention to what is in the secret compartment and where the door leads to.
Because of his previous insights and what he heard from Dayu, he had already entered a mysterious realm.
He didn't know how long he sat there before he opened his eyes and laughed loudly.
This couldn't help but make him unhappy, because the golden elixir had condensed in his body again, which meant that he had returned to the golden elixir stage.
The true energy in his body was very powerful, and he could feel the changes in himself.
If in the past, his own pressure could suppress the monks in the Nascent Soul Stage, now the monks in the Transformation Stage are unable to bear the weight of his own power.
The most rare thing is that after entering the golden elixir stage, those spells that were originally learned can be used again.
In the final analysis, being promoted to the Golden Core stage means that one foot has truly entered the door of the world of cultivation. Although it is still far from fully entering the Nascent Soul stage, at least the road full of many obstacles has finally been given to me.
A threshold has been broken through.
Xie Xin was excited for half an hour before he woke up.
When I came to the two hidden compartments, I found two boxes inside.
Inside one of the boxes was a metal rod. On the rod was written the four characters "Zhenhai Shenzhen".
Another box contained a peach. What is strange is that this peach has not rotted after I don’t know how many years have passed, and it is still full of spiritual energy.
"Sea-Suppressing Divine Needle? I only know that there is Dinghai Divine Needle, so why is there another Sea-Suppressing Divine Needle here?" Xie Xin picked up the thin needle, but felt that it had no weight at all, and he naturally became more curious.
"And this peach, could it be the legendary flat peach?! If it is, is it a human peach? Or a ground peach or a heavenly peach." Xie Xin picked up the peach and looked at it for a while.
But obviously, he couldn't tell what kind of peach it was from its appearance.
So, he ate it directly.
"What a powerful spiritual energy!" Xie Xin felt the surging spiritual energy in his body and immediately sat down cross-legged.
After a while of digestion, a lot of spiritual energy leaked out in vain.
But the spiritual energy he digested allowed him to directly advance from the early stage of the Golden Core to the peak of the Golden Core. He was only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul stage.
"It is indeed a good thing! It's a pity that I ate it too hastily. If I could be more cautious, the leaked spiritual energy might have pushed me to the Nascent Soul stage." Xie Xin stood up slowly, thinking of all the waste.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
The depression could not last long, so he decisively chose to move on.
He is also looking forward to what kind of problems he will encounter in the next level and what good things he will get?
It's just that many things don't go as he wants. Not long after, he entered a natural cave, but the escape route disappeared the moment he exited.
When he walked out of the cave, he found that he had reached the other side of the mountain.
And that side is where everyone gathered at the beginning.
"This is not bad, at least you don't have to worry about being detained." Xie Xin smiled, picked up the magic formula and sent it back to the Huaxia Academy.
The moment I returned to school, the long-lost system prompt rang:
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission of the Immortal Sect 'Returning to the Golden Elixir Stage'. You have gained experience, spiritual stones, some elixirs, one piece of "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills", two bottles of Beidou Tianjing, and two pieces of rue."
