C172 He Realized Something
Du Qi said, "If you can be as calm as water when facing an enemy, won't you be able to maximize your strength? But if I want to reach the realm of Heart Like Still Water that elder brother spoke of, wouldn't I have to sever all emotions and senses? "
Lee Shizhen pondered and said, "For younger brother to be able to say these two words, it means that you already have a deep understanding of it. However, there are still some inadequacies in your understanding."
Du Qi said, "Does elder brother mean that those who have reached the stage of Heart Like Still Water will not only not lose anything, but also gain something unexpected? It was just like how one could exert the greatest strength when facing an enemy, but that was only to achieve the Heart Like Still Water. Instead of reaching the realm of Heart Like Still Water, elder brother, how can you teach me? "
Lee Shizhen thought for a long time, and then he seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking Du Qi and the others. He muttered, "Why did you only do it and not achieve it? What's the difference between achieving it and achieving it? "
After a short while, Du Qi suddenly shouted, "I understand. Whether you do it or achieve it, it is nothing more than maintaining it. As long as you keep your heart as still as water, no matter what, you will be calm and steady."
Lee Shizhen suddenly smiled happily and said, "That's right, it is important to maintain it! However, it is easier said than done. If you really want to keep it up, it is hard to keep it up. This might be what people often say about cultivation. As long as one's cultivation is sufficient. It can naturally be maintained. If one's cultivation is insufficient, it will be useless even if one thinks about it... Haha, such a simple logic, why didn't I think of it in the past? "
Pang Xian had discussed this topic with Lee Shizhen more than once, although he had gained some benefits under Lee Shizhen's subtle influence. However, unlike Du Qi and Looh Miaoer, who had made it clear whether it was intentional or not, he seemed to have gained something. He suddenly seemed to understand a lot of principles, but he could not grasp some specific details. When he heard Lee Shizhen's words again, he could not help but be greatly inspired. He had gained a lot.
However, Dongfang Boluan was still confused. He did not understand why Lee Shizhen, Du Qi, and Looh Miaoer were discussing this topic with great interest. He only felt bored. If it were not for the fact that they were happy to see them, Pang Xian seemed to be intoxicated by it. He might have already spoken to stop them.
Upon hearing Lee Shizhen's words, Du Qi felt as if he had been enlightened. He suddenly felt that he could resist all the influence of the outside world without any difficulty. He easily maintained the state of being as steady as a mountain, and his heart was as still as water. He couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and he felt as if his entire heart had suddenly become boundlessly broad. It seemed to be able to contain everything in the world, and it was as if his heart had become one with nature. It was difficult to distinguish between them for a time, and the miraculous profundities of that feeling was utterly unable to be clearly expressed with words.
All of a sudden, Du Qi felt that there seemed to be a strange and clear feeling. However, he did not know how to control it. He knew that his cultivation base had improved without him knowing it. Although he didn't show it clearly, he was sure that his state of mind had improved a lot.
Looh Miaoer was the same as Du Qi. She suddenly had a strange feeling, but she did not seem to know. She still smiled and said, "Sir is so happy. Has your Cold Blood Divine Art advanced another level?"
Lee Shizhen laughed and said, "Haha, the major problem that lingered in my heart finally broke through today. His mind became much calmer. It was obvious that he was one step closer to the realm where his heart was as still as water. How can this not make me happy? To be honest, this was all because of you, little girl. How do you want me to thank you?"
Looh Miaoer still smiled and said," With my appearance, do I look like a little girl? So, Sir better think it through before saying anything. Otherwise, others will laugh at Sir's indisputable gender. "
Lee Shizhen laughed loudly and said, "That's right, to be able to learn and sell on the spot, you are indeed incomparably intelligent and comparable to my younger brother!"
Looh Miaoer pouted and said, "Mister, you still can't forget about this?"
Lee Shizhen laughed and said, "I don't have other abilities. I can still do some things if I want to forget some things. Miss, don't worry. It will only be once. How about not doing it again? Haha! "
Du Qi said, "So it turns out that elder brother also likes to joke. But Miaoer's disguise identity is very important to me. Please keep it a secret on my behalf and don't mention it to others, okay?"
Dongfang Boluan naturally responded in a hurry, but Pang Xian still did not say a word. Lee Shizhen said, "Think about it, which little girl doesn't love beauty? Miss Lu, on the other hand, pretended to walk in the Jianghu in such a manner, as if she wanted to deceive others. How could we not know how to make a scene? "
Du Qi said with some embarrassment, "It's not that I don't believe you and Branch Leader Dongfang, but it's always good to be careful. Otherwise, trouble will come knocking on our door. We don't know about it yet."
While they were walking, Looh Miaoer suddenly stopped. She held out her sword with her left hand and stopped Du Qi and the other three. She asked suspiciously," Where are the pedestrians on the road? Why are they all gone? Something was not right!"
The four of them were suddenly stopped by Looh Miaoer. They could not help but be stunned. When they heard Looh Miaoer's words again, they could not help but feel shocked in their hearts. In their haste, they saw that the mound was like two rows of high walls standing on both sides of the road. At this moment, they were in between two curved horns. Suddenly looking over, it was as if they were in a maze, as if they didn't know where the road came from. They also did not know where they were going.
The main road leading from Jiujiang City to the dock was bustling with noise and noise, but now, there was no one there. It was so quiet that it made people feel a chill for no reason.
Dongfang Boluan said, "This is the famous Yellow Spring Road of our Jijiang Province. It is said that the road from the city to the riverside was flat and flat. There was no way to defend against the invasion of the river. A general called the Yellow Spring recruited countless civilians and led tens of thousands of soldiers and generals. It had been more than ten years. It was only then that the field had turned into a hilly area filled with traps and traps. No one dared to set foot inside, if the enemy came from the river... The only way was through this winding road. However, no matter how fierce the enemy was, it was very difficult for them to pass through this passage. Thus, this path was called the Yellow Springs Road. One is to commemorate the Yellow Springs General, and the other is the Yellow Springs Road where the enemy has stepped into the gates of hell. "
After saying that, Dongfang Boluan didn't even have time to catch his breath before he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Why is the sky suddenly turning dark? Is it going to rain? "
Hearing this, Du Qi and the other three could not help looking at the sky. They saw that the sky, which was previously filled with the sun, was now filled with dense clouds, rolling and gathering together. Slowly pressing down, even though they were highly skilled in martial arts and open-minded, they could not help but feel a sense of oppression and suffocation.
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of strong wind that swept up dust and sand. It whipped towards them without any restraint. They wanted to defend themselves, but they were powerless. Unable to dodge in time, they could not help but feel even more frightened under the ravaging black wind. Influenced by the atmosphere that was so terrifying it seemed like the end of the world had arrived, a feeling of terror and terror that seemed like the heavens were about to fall and the earth was on the verge of destruction instantly surged out for no reason. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
