Chapter 115 The Unity of Self and Other, the Grandmaster's State of Mind



However, although Yaoyue, Qu Feiyan, and Xiao Zhao did not understand the wood carving, they could still feel a special smoothness and natural beauty from Chu Qinghe's knife strokes.

Under this aesthetic beauty, the three women's attention was not on the matter of sudden enlightenment, but was unconsciously drawn to Chu Qinghe at this moment.

At this moment, amidst this carving, Chu Qinghe pursed his lips, his gaze focused, and his eyes held a sharp edge.

His handsome face was no longer as casual as before; instead, it was filled with an extreme focus.

It is well known that serious men often possess a special charm.

Especially when the man is also good-looking, this charm is even more pronounced.

From the piece of wood in front of Chu Qinghe, fluffy wood flowers fell, some landing on the table, others drifting aimlessly in the air before settling at Chu Qinghe's feet.

As a gentle breeze swept by, the branches of the camellia trees swayed in the air.

The rustling sound of the carving knife cutting through the wood echoed the rustling sound of branches rubbing against each other in the gentle breeze, creating a symphony of sounds.

Petals fell from the branches in the air, and wooden flowers also fell from the wood and swayed in the breeze.

Amidst the falling petals, the scene seemed to become the perfect backdrop, a picture of a young gentleman amidst flowers.

Together with Chu Qinghe under the tree, it created a beautiful picture, making it hard for the three women, including Yaoyue, to look away. They even unconsciously held their breath, as if worried that they might spoil the beautiful scenery.

As time went by, the piece of wood in front of Chu Qinghe shrank continuously under the carving knife, and eventually Chu Qinghe held it in his left hand.

As the wooden blossoms drifted down and covered the tabletop in a thick layer, the initial shape of the wood carving gradually became apparent.

Judging from its shape and size, the carvings used by Chu Qinghe at this time were clearly floral.

At the same time, Chu Qinghe's internal energy began to flow slowly within his body. The flowing internal energy, like a gentle stream, began to flow along the carving knife in Chu Qinghe's hand and onto the wooden carving.

Noticing the internal energy Chu Qinghe was channeling into the carving knife, Yaoyue raised an eyebrow, seemingly puzzled.

"Um?"

However, when Yaoyue's gaze shifted from Chu Qinghe to his hands, after observing for a few moments, she couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Previously, Yaoyue had not paid much attention to the process of Chu Qinghe's wood carving.

But when Yaoyue's gaze fell upon the carving knife and the wood in Chu Qinghe's hand, with her martial arts skills, how could she not see that when Chu Qinghe's carving knife touched the wood, it clearly contained traces of martial arts?

Even Yaoyue had never seen anyone carve martial arts into wood.

Upon discovering this, Yaoyue couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

Soon, under the carving knife in Chu Qinghe's hand, as large and small wooden flowers fell, the shapes and styles of the flowers in his hand gradually became clear.

It was actually a lifelike magnolia flower.

As the final strike landed, Chu Qinghe's internal energy surged even more intensely.

As the carving knife slid down, and the last piece was shaved off from the magnolia in Chu Qinghe's hand, the condensed internal energy flowed rapidly into the magnolia flower through the carving knife in Chu Qinghe's hand.

Only then did the internal energy within Chu Qinghe's body subside.

The moment the magnolia flower was completed, the special aura that had been emanating from Chu Qinghe quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, Yaoyue, who had been enveloping herself and the two little girls with her true energy, finally dispersed it. With a light tap of her toes, she instantly appeared in front of Chu Qinghe, her gaze falling on the magnolia in Chu Qinghe's hand.

Although this orchid is carved from wood, the lines are smooth, and the original wood grain on it now resembles the veins of the petals.

What's most unique is that the wood carving has a subtle fluorescent glow, the petals are delicate and perfectly proportioned, and the angles and layers give it a lifelike and natural feel.

Although she didn't understand wood carving, Yaoyue couldn't help but nod in approval when she saw the magnolia in Chu Qinghe's hand.

As Yaoyue admired the magnolia that Chu Qinghe had just finished, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao also came over.

When their gazes fell upon the magnolia in Chu Qinghe's palm, both women showed expressions of amazement.

After watching for a while, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but say, "Young master, the magnolia you carved is so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Chu Qinghe's face.

Looking at the magnolia I had just finished, I felt quite satisfied.

At this moment, Yaoyue suddenly spoke up: "What did you realize after your sudden enlightenment?"

Hearing Yaoyue's question, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "That's not enlightenment, it's just a similar state."

"Not an epiphany?"

Faced with Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue frowned slightly, her face showing a hint of confusion.

Upon seeing this, Chu Qinghe explained, "The so-called enlightenment is actually just a special state of mind and condition. All things return to their origin. Whether it is music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or the art of carving, once you reach the corresponding level, you can also grasp and touch upon this similar state. In other words, it should be a state of non-duality between self and other, which is different from enlightenment."

Unlike the medical skills of a grandmaster, which emphasize using medicine to a divine degree and can cure all diseases in the world.
