That night, the An Lan was cutting through the waves on the voyage back to China, and the whole ship was brightly lit.
The people in the boat were busy with themselves, mainly around the two children who had just turned one month old.
On the top deck, there were only Lin Shuo and Miao Guangqi, and Weng and his son-in-law were drinking and chatting.
"After more than half a year, how is your own practice?" Miao Guangqi asked.
"The progress is very slow." Lin Shuo shook his head helplessly, "The inheritance of the Yun family has not broken into the second level yet."
"Then you are not as good as Yun Xiu'er." Miao Guangqi smiled, "Your cousin broke through two days ago, and the little girl is now in the fourth realm of the Yun family."
Lin Shuo was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "She was able to break through two realms in a row during this retreat?"
"That's right." Miao Guangqi said, "Nine yang puppets, nine yin primordial gods, the nine yin and nine yang of the Yun family are the exterior and interior of each other.
Although it sounds like two realms, in fact, in practice, they can be connected in one breath.
So it's not surprising that she broke through two realms in a row, and your mother did the same back then.
Your mother didn't need to work so hard like her at that time, and she was in seclusion for a year.
Back then, the four of us were drinking and chatting together just like tonight, and then your mother said that she was going to break through.
Then close and open the eyes, and that's the end of the matter, and it took about ten minutes. "
Lin Shuo felt ashamed after hearing this, and scratched his head: "Speaking of which, it seems that my talent for cultivating gods is not only far inferior to my mother's, even my cousin's."
"You can't say that." Miao Guangqi said, "You, Yun Xiu'er, and Yun Yuexin, the three of you seem to be practicing the Yun family inheritance, but they are actually different."
"What's different?" Lin Shuo asked.
"The goals are different." Miao Guangqi analyzed, "The first four realms and the last five realms inherited by the Yun family are not the same thing.
Successors of the Yun family have proved that after the fifth stage, not only is it extremely difficult to practice, but they often encounter unexpected events.
Your mother's goal back then was to cross the last five realms and go to the highest point of the Yun family inheritance to see the scenery.
Because her talent is so outstanding, she easily crossed this barrier in practice.
But even so, she still had an accident.
Your mother had an accident, which put all the burden of the Yun family on Yun Xiu'er.
There is a lesson to be learned from the past, so Yun Xiu'er's practice in her life will stop at the fourth level, and she will not go any higher.
If another accident happened to her, the Yun family would be completely deserted.
So in terms of goals, your mother's goal is to inherit the Nine Realms of Dzogchen from the Yun family, and your cousin's goal is to complete the human path of the first four realms of the Yun family's inheritance.
what about you
Lin Shuo, what is your goal of practicing the Yun family inheritance, do you know it yourself? "
Lin Shuo was silent for a while, then said, "I just want to get my mother back."
"Since you want to get your mother back, you have to go farther and more steadily than your mother." Miao Guangqi said, "Your mother was able to reach the sky in one step, but you can't.
I jumped up and went up, what should I do when I get down
It’s right to be slower, you have to think things through and take steady steps, this is one of them.
Second, your current Yun family inheritance was passed down to you by your mother.
Do you really think that this is a pure Yun family inheritance? "
Lin Shuo was stunned: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Miao Guangqi said, "Otherwise, what happened to your boxing at the bottom of the lake
You were able to use the force of nature at that time, this is a loan.
As for the hunt in Semporna, you not only used the power of Lihuo, but also the secret technique of your Lin family's power cultivation, which is the dragon's breath seal.
These two completely different forces are temporarily integrated, do you still feel that they are very compatible
So the gift that your mother entrusted Miao Xueping to you is not as simple as the inheritance of the Yun family.
Instead, it combines the Yun family's refining spirit, the Miao family's borrowing, and the Lin family's cultivation power. This is the prototype of the three-in-one combination of the three highest inheritances of Liemen.
This is a path of cultivation that even with her talent, she has not had time to perfect it.
At the same time, this is very likely to be the way she left for herself.
After the Yun family inherited the four realms, she knew that she might not be able to descend if she went up, so before going up, she left this gift for you.
This gift is both your way and her way back.
Therefore, the goal of your Lin Shuo's cultivation of the Yun family's inheritance is not the Dzogchen of the nine realms of the Yun family's inheritance, let alone the human path of the first four realms.
It is the Dzogchen where the three paths are united in one. This is a road leading to the sky that can advance and retreat. "
As an inherited hunter of the Jiucunjiu family, Lin Shuo is now the head of the Hunter Gate. His knowledge about the practice of the Hunter Gate is naturally extraordinary.
His original practice was inherited by the Lin family, and later through the gift from his mother, he learned the mystery of the first four realms of the Yun family's inheritance.
But so far, he still has no idea what will happen after the Yun family inherits the four realms.
So even he is a little confused after listening to Miao Guangqi's words.
So Lin Shuo asked, "Father-in-law, what is Tongtian?"
Miao Guangqi considered his sentence for a while, and then said: "Tongtian, this realm is too deep.
So far, only the Yun family inheritance has reached that level in the Liemen. In addition, the Su family inheritance shelf has actually been set up, but they have not dared to climb up.
Although our Miao family has a long history second only to the Yun family, and has the most extensive and complex inheritance, even the three practices have been played by our Miao family. There is no sign of this last step reaching the sky.
I don't know if my ancestors were too cowardly, or they had self-knowledge.
So even now, I haven't touched this field yet, so I can only make some guesses, and you can just listen to what I say. "
"Please tell me."
"Lin Shuo, do you think this world is strange?"
"What's so strange?"
"Cultivation is very strange to this world." Miao Guangqi said, "I am a biologist trained in systematic science, and you are a self-taught teacher with a teacher's degree and six years of teaching experience.
As far as our two identities are concerned, cultivation is the strangest thing in the world.
This is the elephant in the house.
It's just that we are inheritance hunters at the same time, and we have practiced family inheritance since childhood, so that we can ignore this abnormality cognitively.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the scientific education we receive later often cannot explain things in practice.
Not to mention the inheritance of the Yun family, the yang gossip of our Miao family can drive the power of heaven and earth, and the yin gossip can open the door of life and death.
The enclosure and confinement of the Su family can freeze everything in terms of cause and effect.
As for your Lin family, it's also outrageous.
The divine power brought out by the dragon's breath seal, the level of sophistication that Lin Jiangtianjie can achieve with a physical body, and your Heroic Spirit Qijiang, it will be a ghost at every turn.
None of these can be explained by current science.
My previous thought on this was that science is still very young, only over a hundred years old, and its cognition is still limited.
As long as science continues to advance, there will always be a day when it can be explained.
But in recent years, I have slowly had a new idea.
Science, may never be able to explain these things. "
Having said that, Miao Guangqi paused, as if waiting for Lin Shuo to digest the information.
It turned out that Lin Shuo didn't hesitate at all, just nodded and said, "Actually, I also have similar conjectures."
"Yes." Miao Guangqi said, "Science is currently studying the laws of mathematics and physics.
What we practitioners are practicing is another set of rules.
It also exists in this world, and what is different from science is that it is here and there, and it is not yet systematic.
This set of rules can explain part of it, but not all of it, using physics and biological genetics.
The reason for this is that human rational cognition represented by science may only be part of this set of rules.
And the Yun family's refining gods, the Miao family's yin and yang gossip, and your Lin family's cultivation power are other parts.
After understanding this major premise, we can guess what Tongtian is.
The so-called Tongtian may be the discovery and comprehension of a new part of this set of rules.
To be a little more daring, it might even be to create a new part of this set of rules. "
Speaking of this, Miao Guangqi took a sip of the wine in the glass, moistened his throat, and continued: "The founder of our Liemen, the founder of the Yun family, the life story has been studied in great detail by us descendants.
But how the old man died has never been recorded.
The three inheritances of Liemen created by the old man may not only be created in form, but he himself has embarked on the road to reach the sky, and supports our descendants in terms of rules.
And the sky-high price may be to disappear from the conventional sense and become an existence that we can't understand for the time being.
Therefore, the ancestor of the Yun family did not die, so naturally there is no record.
Your mother, too. "
After hearing this, Lin Shuo pondered for a while and asked, "If mother disappeared like this, what about Earth Bodhisattva
Didn't all the signs indicate that my mother's disappearance had a great connection with this thing? "
"Naturally they are related." Miao Guangqi said, "I, Miao Guangqi, have studied Chinese and Western ancient and modern, with a complete knowledge structure, and represent the highest level of human cognition in many fields.
With my cognitive ability, it is very difficult to make the conjecture just now.
Yun Sanmei's cultivation talent is unprecedented, but her cognitive ability is naturally not as good as mine.
Her indomitable progress on the road of practice has a little meaning that the ignorant is fearless.
You don't know her temperament. She was actually quite naive when she was young, with a single-minded mind.
There's no way, she's so pretty, and she's never lost in a fight, so she doesn't like to use her brain.
So when the Earth Bodhisattva started to appear faintly, she would naturally think that as long as her cultivation level improved, she would be able to find this thing and solve this old enemy for the Yun family.
In the end, what she didn't expect was that the Yun family's inheritance deceived people.
The description of the last five realms is said to be cloudy and foggy, and it looks very powerful, but it didn't talk about the root cause.
After cultivating, she went to Tongtian and couldn't take care of human affairs. She didn't know this juncture at first.
This way, so it went astray.
Fortunately, after she stepped into that field, she finally realized something was wrong. Didn't this give Miao Xueping the benefit of daydreaming, and handed over the gift to you
She can't take care of human affairs, so let you take care of it.
If she goes up and can't come back, you pick her up. "
Lin Shuo's face sank when he heard this.
In terms of cultivation, although he doesn't like to show off, he never lacks confidence in his heart.
Over the past 20 years, he has been thinking about getting his mother back. This is the motivation for his practice.
Then, under his father's words and deeds, every step was very steady. Now that he has this ability, he feels that he has faintly seen the hope of finding his mother.
But after listening to Miao Guangqi's words, he realized that this is only the first step of the Long March.
And then this illusory road to heaven is really a long road with an uncertain future.
Why is it that I am running faster and faster, but my mother is getting farther and farther away from me
Seeing Lin Shuo's unsightly expression, Miao Guangqi smiled and made a joke following the preface:
"Lin Shuo, you said that your mother gave birth to your son, so it's fine if you don't pick the right man, and you still have such a big plan, is it interesting?"
"Of course it can't compare with you." Lin Shuo immediately came back to his senses, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "One test tube will do it."
Miao Guangqi rolled his eyes, touched the glass with Lin Shuo, and drank the wine in the glass.
