Chapter 205: Conscience
Under the fierce debate of the gloomy sky, Cao Jinsong could not help but look up and stare for a long time, his eyes changing slightly.
When Ji You broke into the Tongxuan upper realm, his physical body restricted his ability to sense heaven and man, and it took him longer than others before he finally reached the other side.
Because of this incident, the hospital also launched a special discussion on "physical restrictions".
The reason why Cao Jinsong was so worried about his excessive body training was because of this.
Although the elders in the monastery are often disliked by others, their views on monasticism are still convincing enough.
Especially since Tongxuan is only the first realm of the upper five realms. Even the cultivation of a small realm is extremely difficult, then the cultivation of other realms in the future is even more self-evident.
The history of human cultivation spans thousands of years, during which countless talented people have emerged, but none of those who attempted to challenge the consensus have succeeded.
After all, how can a person's whim compare to the experience summed up by countless geniuses of previous generations.
But at this moment, Cao Jinsong looked at the powerful sword energy under the rolling dark clouds, feeling the tearing heaviness, and suddenly had a clearer understanding of his current combat power.
He felt that Ji You's current combat power was really beyond his understanding of realm and magic...
This intuitive feeling is actually clearer than the message from the Sixianjian that Ji You blocked a punch from the King of Soldiers.
With a clang, the sound of the iron sword vibrating suddenly rang out.
A simple Taoist sword suddenly flew out from the sword room of the teaching academy and landed steadily in Cao Jinsong's hand with a "pa" sound.
In an instant, vast spiritual energy poured in, and ripples appeared on the sword, just like the clarity of clear water after washing away the turbidity.
"Come, I will take your sword."
"?"
Ji You held the sword high in the sky, raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Really?"
Cao Jinsong stood up from the stone bench while looking at Ji You. "I am not doing my best as a teacher. I am afraid that I will stop at the Rong Dao realm in this life. If I don't practice with you again, I am afraid that I will never be qualified again."
"Then I'll come?"
"bring it on."
Under the gloomy sky, the spring breeze was cool. Cao Jinsong held the sword across his body, and a trace of Taoist rhyme like ripples was revealed in the sword light.
The path he took was different from Ji You's. He was an orthodox and pure Taoist practitioner. Although he did not have the exquisite Taoist techniques of the five major holy temples, his understanding of the Way of Heaven was still strong.
In the outer courtyard of Tianshu Academy, some people said that he was poor, some said that he had big breasts, but no one said that he was ugly.
After all, that night in Yecheng Mountain, he single-handedly fended off the combined siege of three Rong Dao masters.
Seeing this scene, Ji Youwei couldn't help but speak: "Every time I hold a sword in my hand, do you feel like asking who else is a hero in the world? To be honest, I feel like I can develop the headmaster into a client."
"Traitor, you'd better live a few more days!"
Cao Jinsong shouted angrily, and instantly saw a bright light suddenly falling in front of him.
The sword energy as heavy as a mountain pressed down the rain that had not yet fallen, splashing everywhere. The powerful aura now slashed fiercely towards the bottom of the teaching academy, and it actually created a grandeur that made people unable to raise their heads.
At this time, Ji You's sword was filled with boiling sword intent when he drew it out.
Cao Jinsong's hair and beard were flying in the wind and waves. When he looked up, he saw the brighter golden eyes in front of him. So he shouted and drew his sword with all his strength. His own energy also began to surge, and he swung the sword away with a hum.
There was thunder, strong wind, the smoothness of falling rain, and the elegance of rolling and unrolling clouds in the sword, which collided fiercely with the mountain-like sword energy.
The sound of the swords clashing was deafening, and sparks flew in all directions in an instant.
At the same time, bursts of explosions continued.
The stone table in the teaching academy was right at the core of the clash of the two sword energies, and was instantly shattered into pieces by the overflowing aftermath. One of the pieces of stone was like an arrow shot from a bow, and with a loud bang, it went straight through the wall of the teaching academy.
With a dull "bang", Cao Jinsong's boots stepped heavily on the bluestone floor tiles beneath his feet and crushed them.
On the other hand, after Ji You swung the sword in his hand, his burning aura directly burned the raindrops dripping on his body, making a sizzling sound, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
"Are you all right?"
"Of course I'm fine. I'm a master of the upper realm of the Tao of Integration and your mentor. I have profound cultivation. How can I be in trouble if I take your sword?"
Cao Jinsong placed his sword on the ground and commented calmly, "That strike was pretty good."
At this time, Ji You weighed the sword in his hand, feeling the strength of the sword just now, and thought to himself that my feeling was indeed correct.
He completed the sixteenth micro-imaging before breaking through to the realm of Tongxuan. At that time, it felt extremely difficult, as if he had reached the end.
Therefore, when he was breaking through the realm and reaching the Mysterious Realm, he was really restricted by his physical body in his ability to sense the heaven and man. He was unable to successfully harmonize his divine thoughts with the Way of Heaven, nor was he able to obtain the feedback of the Mysterious Light of the Way of Heaven and thus ascend to a higher realm.
At that time, he felt a suffocating feeling of restraint, so most of his time in the breakthrough was spent on struggling to break free from that feeling of restraint. He struggled until he was almost exhausted, and then he felt a sense of clarity.
At that moment, he felt as if something was pushed.
He did not think deeply about it at the time, but just had a vague feeling. Until the seventeenth micro-reflection a few days ago, he found that the process was much smoother and the tearing pain during the body refining had disappeared.
Now when he was fighting with Cao Jinsong, he could also feel a clear increase in his energy.
Therefore, it is not that human cultivators are incapable of cultivating their bodies.
Ji You muttered to himself, looking at the blue veins that bulged from using the sword just now.
The so-called weakening of the connection between heaven and man cannot be simply attributed to physical limitations. Part of the reason is that Heaven's luck is insufficient nowadays, and the other part is because the physical body is approaching the critical threshold.
Having a body that is too strong will indeed restrain the mind, but it is not a dead end.
Because body training...seems to be divided into different levels.
Improving your realm will increase your strength, and even a three-year-old child knows this.
The realm of pure Taoist cultivation is closer to the Way of Heaven. At the same time, one can get feedback from the Way of Heaven, which greatly increases strength. It is an external way of seeking.
Body training, on the other hand, is to look inward, seeking not the way of heaven, but oneself.
After the heavy snow before the new year, he not only broke through the realm of Taoist cultivation, but also broke through the realm of physical training in order to break free from the shackles.
So the body itself gave him a positive feedback, which was an increase in strength.
To put it bluntly, the strength is even greater.
When the little master was hibernating, he often broke into a sweat when he was held in his arms, saying that his body was very hot, like a furnace. There was a reason for this.
Because that is also a positive feedback for the growth of physical strength, because only with sufficient calories can a stronger body maintain proper activity.
Back then in the snowy region, he had to work very hard to hold up forty-nine mountains. It shouldn't be that difficult now.
I'm a little worried about the little lady, I wonder if she can eat well...
It is true that Yan Shuyi’s realm is high, but humans are weak after all and can’t withstand a few blows.
But fortunately, she still has sisters.
Shocked! There is such a heartwarming reason behind the scumbag's behavior. More than 100,000 people burst into tears after hearing it.
Ji You quietly came back to his senses at this time, put away his sword and bowed: "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Cao Jinsong said calmly: "It's just a teacher's duty, no need to be polite."
"Regarding some matters concerning cultivation, I still need to think carefully about them when I return."
"Go ahead. You just had to duel swords with me. I'm sure you've exhausted a lot of energy. You should go back and rest."
Cao Jinsong watched him leave the hospital. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and then he fell to the ground. After taking a deep breath, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His evil disciple is really strong.
Although it won't cost me my life, it's not far off.
At this time, Ji You walked towards the inner courtyard.
After he had just swung his sword, the sword energy around him had not yet dissipated, and the air wave surrounded his body, and the falling rain was blown away.
At this moment, he was thinking quietly, thinking that if his body could be refined and his realm improved at the same time, he would definitely be very strong, but he just didn't know what the final result would be.
The most important thing at the moment is to maintain a balance between the body and the mind.
We must not allow the physical body to completely restrict our spiritual thoughts and isolate ourselves from the connection between heaven and man, and we must also maintain the progress of body refining.
Walking with two legs of the same length is always much faster than walking with one leg longer than the other.
“I remember when I beheaded a lion on the street last time, Ji You’s sword was about the same as Fang Jincheng’s cousin’s, but not nearly as strong as this one.”
"Brother Ji's hands were disabled at that time. You seem to be fine, but his hands were always controlled by spiritual energy during that period, and he couldn't hold the sword himself."
Bai Rulong was chewing an apple when he heard Lu Qingqiu mumbling to himself and couldn't help but answer: "That's a flying sword, this is a palm sword, so they are naturally different."
He was also attracted by Ji You's sword energy, but did not dare to show up.
He is now flirting with fellow Taoists everywhere, spending a huge amount of money, and is afraid that Brother Ji will develop an occupational disease and drain him of money.
After hearing this, Lu Qingqiu looked towards the broken wall that was pierced by rocks, and felt that the sword chanting was still lingering.
Originally, they had already felt the endless pressure when the sword was suspended in the air, but they never thought that they would see the real effect after it fell. The hairs that had just stood up had not yet softened.
It turned out that the power of Fang Jincheng's sword just now was only comparable to Wu Jiyou's sword control, and the maximum number of swords he controlled was fifty times.
The next day, the wind and rain stopped.
The red sun rose in the east, and then the brilliant morning light began to burst out from the sky and gradually fell on Shengjing.
Ji You had just gotten up from his bedroom when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and found that it was a disciple from the Headmaster's Court.
"Junior Brother Ji, your letter."
"Thank you very much."
Ji You opened the letters and took a look. The first one was signed by Kuang Cheng, informing him about the progress of the renovation of the Fengzhou official road.
The second letter came from Yuan Caiwei. She had received the seeds sent by Ji You and planted them immediately.
In fact, this gift is really suitable for the daughter of Danzong, because the alchemist lineage not only deals with elixirs, but also has to deal with medicinal materials, so cultivating a wheat seedling in Fengzhou is naturally a piece of cake.
Yuan Caiwei wrote to thank him and said that she liked his gift very much and would take good care of it and wait for it to grow.
Yuanchen also attached a letter, asking his brother-in-law what the meaning of him only giving me a flower pot was.
Ji You recalled and found that he seemed to have forgotten to send seeds and soil to Yuan Chen.
Oh, this is nothing.
When he was preparing the gift, he almost couldn't remember Yuan Chen's name.
Zhuo Wanqiu also sent a letter, saying that her young master was at the critical moment of breaking through. After returning, she ordered the whole mountain not to disturb him. However, he received a gift a few days ago and came out of retreat temporarily. After reading the letter, her face turned red and she cursed him as a pervert.
But after scolding, she still carefully planted the wheat seeds and carried the flowerpots into her retreat room.
This girl Yan Shuyi is almost becoming a professional in temporary release.
The young master who was just beginning to fall in love really couldn't bear the temptation of beauty...
In fact, Ji You didn't want her to delay her practice because of him and regret it in the future, so he planned not to disturb her recently.
A lecher? Ji You frowned slightly, wondering why he called me a lecher after seeing my gift.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered the word "seed" and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
When he gave her this gift, he had never thought about the other ambiguity of giving her seeds. But Yan Shuyi was actually thinking about this herself.
It seems that the last time I asked her how many children she wanted to have, she must have really considered it seriously, otherwise her reaction would not have been so direct and quick.
"Miss Caiwei, it's been a long time. What I gave to Yuanchen was a flower pot."
"Little Master Zhan Xin Shu Yan, when I gave you the seeds, I didn't think about what you were thinking."
Ji You wrote a few simple lines in reply, then put the two letters away, and then looked up in the direction of Zizhu Zen Temple.
The seventeenth body training is over. In order to achieve a balance between body and spirit, it is time to attain enlightenment.
After washing up, Ji You went to the Office of the Administrator, mailed two letters, and then went to Zizhu Zen Temple, found a secluded place, and sat cross-legged.
There are many people in Tianshu Academy who are preparing to participate in the Tiandao Conference. Some of them have already reached the upper realm many years ago and have been suppressing their realm recently for the sake of safety.
It is safest for Ji You to attend the Tiandao Conference as a Tongxuan upper realm, but there is no need to suppress the search for an opportunity to determine the Dao.
Everyone has a different personality, background, and experiences in the world, so the amount of distracting thoughts is uncertain. It is best to be well prepared at this stage.
The foreign fairy village in Fengzhou will not be stable for long, and Ji You feels that time now is very valuable.
Of course, I’m not asking my brothers to come and chop me up.
At this time, Ji You was sitting leisurely on the top of the mountain, closing his eyes and starting to look inward.
The step of settling on the Dao is somewhat similar to refining the body. It is not about looking outward to seek for the resonance between heaven and man, but about looking inward to eliminate distracting thoughts and deeply explore the heart of the Dao.
It took almost a whole day to see a hazy picture, and then distracting images began to emerge before my eyes.
At the beginning, there are snow-white feet, and the round and pink toes are as cute and slender as crystal jade beads.
The scene then shifted to the chapel room. Ji You's mind was filled with Yan Shuyi's bright eyes, slight humming voice, and pink cheeks after the verbal battle with him.
At the same time, I held her in my arms by the stove and looked at her smooth and round body from her collar many times but never dared to touch it.
There are also some scenes that appear in the medicine pool of Danzong, where Yuan Caiwei is only wearing a bellyband and underpants, sitting in her arms with her delicate and smooth figure, and there is another pair of feet after washing in the water.
In addition, there is some great freedom without an owner.
For example, some magnificent round and plump buttocks, I have forgotten where I saw them.
This was not Ji You's fault, mainly because it was rumored in Tianshu Academy at the time that his physique could be passed down from generation to generation, and then a large number of senior sisters were hanging around in front of him, some without linings, and except for those that were too big or too small, there was basically no unique memory point, and it was really difficult to distinguish them.
This is a distracting thought that comes from lust and is the most primitive impulse of men.
The slightest thought will make you deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate yourself.
If you touch it by mistake, it will gush out continuously and it will be difficult to stop.
In the mist, Ji You acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to browse through the images in a spiritual state, then reached out to erase them.
But the feet, roundness and plumpness of the legs did not disappear. Instead, they intensified and even gave rise to more peripheral stories that did not actually happen...
Well, it turns out that people can’t deceive themselves.
It’s great to practice Taoism, I’ll read it a billion times.
After the rain in Shengjing, the sky was clear for many days. Ji You came every day in the morning light and returned home under the stars and the moon, and his eyes gradually became abnormal.
This is the negative impact of deeply exploring the Dao heart. The cultivators at this stage cannot break free in a short period of time. At the same time, their state of mind will be affected even more, and their Dao heart will be temporarily unbalanced.
Ji You was somewhat glad that he did not try to explore the Dao heart deeply before and after the New Year, otherwise he would have been even bolder towards Yan Shuyi.
If this is true, I guess the grass on my grave will sprout like the wheat seedlings in Fengzhou.
"Junior Brother Ji, your letter."
"Another letter?"
"It was sent by Junior Sister Lu from the outer courtyard, but she should be younger. After all, no matter how big a family is, it can't compare with an immortal sect, right?"
As the sky gradually darkened in the evening, a disciple from the academy found him on the west side of Zizhu Zen Temple and handed Lu Qingqiu's letter to him.
The disciple of the Head Office was named Wen Siyuan. He had sent letters to Ji You many times, and Ji You had already remembered his name.
People are like this. Once they become a little familiar with each other, they will talk more.
Ji You looked at him at this time, and thought to himself, just guess, then took the letter, unfolded it and took a look.
The letter was written by Lu Qingqiu, regarding his sister's admission to the inner courtyard.
The Autumn Fight of Tianshuyuan is ultimately based on combat power. Lu Qingqiu saw Ji You's swordsmanship at the Bishui Lake that day, so he wanted his sister to learn swordsmanship from him.
Ji worriedly said no.
In my current state, your sister may not be able to learn the sword, but she can learn a lot of postures.
He wrote back to Lu Qingqiu, stating that it was common knowledge that the sword art of Lingjian Mountain could not be passed on to outsiders. In order to show off the exquisiteness of their sword art, Lingjian Mountain had never said that cultivators from outside the sect were not allowed to enter without permission. This was how he learned the sword rightfully.
But if he were to pass it on to others, it would not be a good thing in the final analysis.
However, Ji You still wrote down some of his understandings of martial arts, methods of controlling swords, how to better use spiritual energy to cooperate with swordsmanship, and the process of training spiritual thoughts. He gave it to the disciple of the Head Office to pass on, and said that he could provide guidance if there were any questions in a few days.
These things originally belonged to him, so it can't be considered as betrayal.
Ji You sent away the disciples of the Master's Court and looked outside, watching the clouds rolling and unrolling in the sky.
In fact, he knew how to temporarily get rid of these distracting thoughts with simple and clever operations, but he always felt that it was not his ability.
He has always set very high standards for himself, otherwise he would have lost a lot of bottom lines in life.
This kind of days continued until a clear night. Ji You's mind once again searched his heart, and soon it burst into light, and he erased all these images with the attitude of a saint.
It’s short so be it, people shouldn’t demand too much of themselves.
After all, he had no desire to ascend, nor did he need to fight against his nature so strongly.
The only thing that made him feel a little sad was that the young master of Lingjian Mountain and Yuan Caiwei looked a little miserable in his mind...
Ji You muttered to himself silently, and a golden light appeared in front of him, and yellow and white air continued to surge.
After lust, comes professionalism.
Ji You sat on the top of the mountain for a long time, until dawn rose, and then walked down the mountain with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Instructor Cao."
"Why are you here again? How is your search for the opportunity going?"
"Robbery, some money to spend."
"?"
"Evil disciple, do you have any dialect accent?"
Ji You quickly let him know that this was not a dialect problem, but a problem of understanding, and then strolled around the outer courtyard holding a purse, as if looking for something.
Bai Rulong was in the men's dormitory and was about to go out when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but reach out to look at the almanac.
In the afternoon, Ji You went down the mountain and went to Kuang Cheng's house...
Lust, professionalism.
After that, vanity, desire to win, pride and complacency... emerged one by one.
But compared to the former, these distracting thoughts were much easier to suppress. The most dangerous time was when pride and complacency emerged. He went to the Heavenly Book Hall alone, intending to develop the headmaster into a client.
The Heavenly Book Hall was empty, the old man was not there, and in the breeze surrounding the hall there was only a whisper left by Ji You.
"Luckily you ran fast."
Then he also saw the retirement home in Fengzhou, the ancient locust tree where many old farmers were hanged on the bright autumn day, the skeletons of people who died of hunger and cold under the heavy snow, and the emaciated children with pale faces.
This was the reason why he chose to practice cultivation in the first place, and it was his original intention.
Can the original intention be considered as the heart of Tao?
Ji You muttered something, but soon he felt a surge of anger affecting his mood, so he quickly wiped it off.
At this moment, a river bend appeared in the mist of his Taoist mind.
Green willows, white embankment, and river surface.
Seeing this scene, Ji You’s smile froze instantly and his face gradually turned pale.
Then countless splashes of water appeared in his sight, continuously splashing out from the surface of the lake, and the sounds of splashing came one after another, one in the east and one in the west.
A boy who looked somewhat like him fell down on the road, then climbed up with a pale face and ran hurriedly along the dam.
Examining one's conscience is a kind of introspection, which is more realistic than recollection.
He could see the panic and helplessness on the boy's face, and his fists gradually clenched into a ball.
After Dan Zong distributed elixirs, more and more people came to Zizhu Zen Temple to practice Taoism. Most of them were refining elixirs, but at this time, many people could not help but open their eyes.
This concern stemmed from the moment just now when they discovered a strong sense of hostility emanating from the depths of the bamboo forest.
