[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Rumors about a sad relationship

It is summer, and the vegetation is lush everywhere. If you are not in a hurry, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

After leaving Luoyang City, heading west all the way, you can see the beautiful scenery of mountains and fields in full bloom in the shade and the sun everywhere.It's just that if you pass by a place with villages and towns, the desolate and desolate atmosphere left by the war will blow your face, which makes you feel sorry.

Without money to buy a boat, the two walked and rested all the way.The wounds on Liao Kong's body healed within a few days, but the more than 200 sticks still left a lot of scars on his back, as if he needed to remember this forever.

After he got well, he would often carry the girl on his back and shuttle between the mountains, at a much faster speed than before.When they encountered a place with a secluded scenery, the two stopped to admire the beautiful scenery there.

Drinking mountain springs and eating wild fruits all the way, admiring the blooming mountain flowers, looking at the lush green colors, free and carefree, without being disturbed by anyone.The two seemed to be born to live in the mountains and forests, far away from the world, but they didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead they felt as free as ducks in water.It's just that in the dead of night, when the girl looked at the scar on Kong's back, she would always be absent-minded for a long time.

On this day, the two came to a cliff.Clouds and mist shroud the cliff below, and dozens of large and small pools can be seen faintly.There are countless wild camellias growing around the water pool, and they are in full bloom.White cranes flew over the pool from time to time, causing waves to stir up.

Seeing this scenic spot in the sky, he jumped off the cliff after a few leaps.When he came to the pool under the cliff, he put the girl down.Not far from them, there is a large field of wild camellias, and the camellias on the trees are blooming brilliantly.

Liaokong took the girl and walked over, the first camellia plant was covered with white camellias.There are a little red marks on the petals, which look like a little bit of rouge on the white and flawless rice paper.Yellow and green camellias bloomed on several other camellias, and some camellias were half crimson and half white.There are many varieties of camellias here, with different colors and shapes, which are too beautiful to behold.

As soon as the girl saw the clump of camellias, she smiled happily. She turned to Kong and said, "Shall we stay here for a few days?"

Sokong nodded.

Seeing that the camellia was in full bloom, the girl couldn't help but stepped forward, wanting to reach out and touch it.Suddenly a little thing sprang out from the camellia tree, which startled the girl.Liao Kong immediately stepped forward, grabbing the thing like lightning, and the tentacles felt fluffy.

The two of them looked carefully, and the one held by Kong Kong was actually an unknown animal with white fur, which looked neither like a rabbit, nor like a mink, nor like a ferret.Being grabbed by the neck, the unknown animal struggled desperately for a long time. It seemed to know that it was futile, so it stopped moving.The girl looked at the little animal, and found that its eyes were actually blue, like the purest blue in the sky.

After looking at the little animal for a while, the girl sighed softly.

Kong Kong immediately let go of his hand, and the little animal immediately burrowed into the camellia tree.

The two of them walked to the nearest pool. The water was so clear and transparent that they could easily see the round stones at the bottom of the pool.Countless fish swim back and forth in the small pool, looking leisurely and content.

The girl stretched out her hand to touch the pool of water, which was cold and refreshing.

As soon as she bent down, her long hair like a crow's feather naturally fell down, and a little fell into the water, fluttering gently with the crystal clear water.The girl put her hand in the water, and was unwilling to take it out for a long time, so she bent down | and picked up her hand that was submerged in the water: "The water in the pool is cold, and you will get sick after a long time."

After finishing speaking, he helped the girl up again: "The spring here is deep and foggy, and the humidity is extremely heavy. Staying here for a long time is not good for your health."

The girl glanced at him and said softly, "Of course you won't be afraid of the cold, will you?"

Liaokong nodded, martial arts reached his level, and the cold and heat have long been invincible.

"Then you practice martial arts, is it because you are not afraid of the cold or the heat?"

Hearing the girl's question, Li Kong couldn't laugh or cry, who practiced martial arts just for the sake of not being invaded by cold and heat.

"I know that you all have various reasons for practicing martial arts. Some are for physical fitness, some are for the country and the people, some are to pursue your own ideals, and some are to protect what you want to protect. There are many people who practice martial arts in the world. There are thousands of people, and there are thousands of reasons for them. What are you learning martial arts for?"

It has been too long since Liao Kong didn't think of the reason why he learned martial arts in the first place.He was originally an orphan who lost his parents and relatives due to the war since he was a child. He grew up relying on food from a variety of families. Later, he became a monk in a muddle for some reason, and only after he became a monk did he start learning martial arts.As for the reason for learning martial arts, the master told him to learn it, so he learned it. It seems that there is no reason why he must learn it.

After thinking for a while, Liao Kong replied: "After becoming a monk, the master asked me to learn martial arts, so I also learned."

"Then why do you want to practice silent meditation?" The girl asked a question that many people may want to ask, but have never asked.

This question was also asked before, but they didn't get an answer.Many people will ask him in the future, and they will not get an answer.Perhaps no one could get the answer from him except her.

Liao Kong looked at the girl and saw that her eyes were full of doubts.

He sighed softly, caressed her face like a delicate flower shining on the moon, and said softly: "I practice closed-mouth meditation to see through things that I couldn't see through before."

"What is that?" The girl continued to ask him.

"I don't quite remember what that thing is now. Maybe it's because I'm too attached to Buddhism, maybe it's because I'm not attached to martial arts, or maybe it's because I'm obsessed with those mysterious things."

The girl nodded in understanding.

"Then how do you practice silent meditation?" She asked again, "Is it okay if you don't speak?"

Hearing this, Liaokong showed a helpless smile: "If you can practice closed-mouth meditation without speaking, then wouldn't all those who are naturally silent can become masters in this way?"

"Isn't closed-mouth meditation not speaking, so how do you practice it?"

"Shut-mouth meditation is the heart, not the mouth. As long as the heart is silent, the mouth will be silent. If the heart is still moving, then even if the mouth is silent, there are thousands of words in the heart."

"Speaking of which, this closed-mouthed meditation is indeed very difficult. It makes people not speak with their mouths or their hearts. How is that possible? Unless it is a dead person."

"So throughout the ages, no one has ever practiced closed-mouth meditation."

"Then you still practice?"

"It is precisely because no one has succeeded in cultivation that I want to practice."

"What do you mean by that? I don't seem to understand."

"Throughout the ages, how many emperors pursued immortality and were obsessed with their obsessions. But since ancient times, no matter whether Emperor Qin, Han, or Wu can truly live forever? For those who practice Taoism, they can shatter the void through the sympathy between heaven and man, and realize the most important thing between the universe. The profound truth is also their ultimate pursuit. But since ancient times, how many people can truly shatter the void? Even so, there are more than tens of millions of people who are obsessed with this way. Just like closed-mouth meditation, no one can practice it Success is what makes it most intoxicating."

"Then why do you want to self-destruct your practice? Obviously you didn't lose He Shibi, you weren't there at that time."

"I wasn't there at the time, but at that time, as the Zen master of Jingnian Temple, I was mainly responsible for He's Bi. Since He's Bi was stolen in Jingnian Temple, I naturally have a duty to do so."

Hearing this, the girl was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "It would be great if He Shibi was in my body."

Hearing this sentence, Liao Kong sighed again.He Shibi's supernatural ability, even people with advanced cultivation bases can't bear it.If it was really in this girl's body, the damage to her would be unspeakable, and it might even cost her her life for it.If He's Bi is still in the girl's body now, no matter what method he uses, he will take it out, even if it destroys the ancient treasure.

Seeing him sigh again, the girl said, "I know, you don't want it in me, do you?"

Sokong nodded.

"But why do you feel He Shibi's feeling on me?"

"This is something I have never figured out. Now I can't feel any He's Bi's ability from you. But before, I did feel a strong He's Bi's ability from you. "

"Then what exactly is He's Bi's ability?"

"It's indescribable, you can only know it by experiencing it yourself."

"But I don't feel anything at all."

"Fortunately, you don't know martial arts, so you didn't have such a big reaction. When I used He's Bi to meditate, I wanted to learn some of its supernatural powers from He's Bi to practice. But I found that He's Bi gave people Feeling, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes moving, sometimes quiet, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, the feeling of irritability, anxiety and discomfort is really unbearable, so I gave up."

"Is He's Bi so strange? But didn't I hear that it is just a jade seal handed down to the country?"

"It is said that the raw material of He's Bi is a meteorite from outside the sky, with mysterious and unspeakable power. If you think that since ancient times, the emperors have changed countless times, but He's Bi still exists, you can imagine its extraordinary."

"Then where is He's Bi now?"

"Eight out of ten | Nine times out of ten, it has already been broken."

Hearing this, the girl suddenly remembered what Kou Zhong and the other three had said.She was silent for a while, then asked again: "Then will you bother them?"

The two of them knew what she was referring to.

"Since God's will is so, I have no choice but to let it go."

The two stayed for an hour by the camellia bushes under the cliff, and when they were free, they carried the girl on their backs and continued westward.After less than half an hour, another town appeared in front of the two of them.

According to the distance, they should have arrived near the famous Hangu Pass in history.It is said that Lao Tzu rode a green ox across Hangu, and went west to the quicksand, where he disappeared.Now there is obviously nothing left here, any traces related to Lao Tzu, but filled with the atmosphere of fierce wars and the people's livelihood.

Although this is a town, it is as quiet as a ghost.The two couldn't see any living things. There were dead bodies of people and animals, tattered clothes, rotting grains scattered on the ground, and abandoned carts everywhere.There is still an unpleasant smell of rancidity floating in the air, obviously this is already a dead city.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liao Kong sighed again: "Amitabha."

"Are you going to save them?" the girl asked.

Nodding, he walked towards the scattered corpses, and the girl followed him.

"I'm afraid you have to save yourself first!" Suddenly a sharp and unpleasant voice floated from above, and the two of them heard the reputation and looked over.

An old-looking man with a sallow complexion was standing on the city wall and looking at Kong fiercely.Then, he turned his eyes to the girl again, his ugly and cold eyes were full of surprise, greed and longing.
