"So, as long as a cultivator can have his own little world, or 'realm', he can be considered to have entered the realm of 'having boundaries'?"
On the winding corridor, Zuo Liu seemed to understand what was said and asked this question.
Zheng Yao walked a little ahead.
Fudaoshanren just left him alone and no one knew where he went. He was the only one left to arrange some things within the sect.
The fact that Tomorrow Star Sea does not provide accommodation is really not a big deal for Yashan.
After all, they had sent monks here a long time ago, and there were also several manors here.
At this moment, they were in a house closest to the residences of other people from the Nineteenth Continent. He wanted to take Jianchou, Fu Chaosheng, Zuo Liu, Fang Xiaoxie and others to their residences.
Along the way, Zuo Liu was quite curious about the division of realms, so he talked about it. But now, hearing his understanding of "bounded" in this way, he laughed: "Most of the time, you are right to say that."
"Most of the time?"
After Zuo Liu entered Yashan, it was like a wandering child who had found a home. The ten thousand questions in his mind finally found someone to answer them. Unless he was in seclusion practicing, he was basically asking others questions.
Therefore, people like Chen Ju and Chen Weishan now stay away from Zuo Liu when they see him.
After Jianchou came back from Zen Buddhism, he lived in Yashan for half a month, and spent most of his time cultivating on his own, and rarely went out. But whenever everyone got together, there was a left stream, and his ears were never at peace.
All I can say is that there is a reason why he has achieved his current level of cultivation.
On the one hand, he still retained the habit of fighting alone in the past. When he saw a slightly stronger monk, he would go up to him and talk to him. His ability to learn and imitate was so strong that it made all the monks he imitated vomit blood.
Secondly, he was studious and inquisitive, asking questions whenever he could. Sometimes the questions were so strange that even Jianchou had never thought of them before, let alone how to answer them.
Although he and Fang Xiaoxie had practiced for about the same amount of time, in fact, the two men represented completely different paths of practice.
The left stream is pure.
He has excellent observation and imitation skills, is always curious about the things around him, and likes to do all kinds of strange research.
For example, he created his own Taoist magic, forged his own magical instruments, and even tinkered with a fire-balancing instrument that he said could automatically make elixirs.
cough.
Of course, in the end, the fire-balancing instrument unfortunately exploded.
Not only did they destroy a furnace of materials, but they almost burned down the entire Dan Hall. Fortunately, the elders of the Dan Hall had seen furnace explosions countless times in their early years, so they were no longer surprised. They quickly brought the situation under control and gave Zuo Liu some new suggestions.
As for Fang Xiaoxie, he is combative.
Although this kid is very young, he is still full of arrogance, and his instincts in fighting are as sharp as a beast. He is also very tough, and he doesn't like to go to the Sutra Library, but prefers to hang out in the Yashan Beast Trapping Ground.
Think about it every time you play, and you will make progress with each play.
When Jianchou left twenty years ago, he had just formed a golden elixir not long ago, but now he is in the late golden elixir stage, and he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage if he finds a suitable opportunity.
This time he came to Xinghai on his own request.
In a word, I just want to come and see the truly strong and powerful, to broaden my horizons and increase my ambitions.
The two of them thought it was very good, so they looked at the two of them, but their minds suddenly turned to Zheng Yao's ambiguous answer just now, and they became curious for a moment.
"Master, do you mean that there are exceptions to this bounded realm division?"
"Realm means space."
"The so-called boundary does not really mean having one's own boundary, but understanding the rules of the boundary. Anyone who can initially comprehend the rules of space has actually stepped into the threshold of boundary. It's just that some cultivators are strong and can open up a very large space."
"In fact, even if your boundary can only hide a strand of hair, it still has boundaries."
Although Zheng Yao has not yet reached this realm, he has become the head of Yashan, which shows that he has a lot of talent. What's more, he is also knowledgeable and has a thorough understanding of the realm.
After he said this, Zuo Liu immediately understood.
"Ah, that is to say, a cultivator with a boundary only comprehends the rules, and a boundary is something that is created by applying the rules. Even if there is no boundary, comprehending the rules still counts. That's why the master said 'most of the time it's correct'."
"Hahaha, no, no, it's more than that." Zheng Yao smiled and shook his head, "In the history of the Nineteen Continents, there have been some cultivators with extraordinary talents and special abilities. Because of some kind of coincidence, or perhaps because a certain way has been reached to the extreme, they have also touched upon the mysteries of the bounded realm. Although the realm is not bounded, it can more or less call upon a portion of the power of space."
"There's this kind?"
Zuo Liu suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Even Jianchou was surprised. She imagined it in her mind and continued hesitantly, "This means that this kind of people don't really understand the rules of space. They just know some fixed usages, just like we learn to teleport and move. So they can't create their own world, but they can call on the power of space?"
"That's right."
As expected of Senior Sister Jianchou, she had already thought of the instant and teleportation in a split second. Zheng Yao couldn't help but sigh.
"Strictly speaking, these two methods of movement are both using the rules of space. However, before reaching the bounded realm, everyone knows the results but not the reasons. Some cultivators, with the opportunity, can also discover the usage of some rules. Although they don't understand them, they can use them just like cultivators with bounded realms."
“Are there many monks like this?”
In the blink of an eye, the person asking the question changed from Zuo Liu to Jianchou. She answered the question even faster than him, which made Zuo Liu feel choked. He had no choice but to listen.
Anyway, what Senior Sister Jianchou wanted to ask was exactly what he wanted to ask.
Zheng Yao shook his head: "Such cultivators are rare, and they are all extremely talented. It is said that the former Xinghai great Green Leaf Ancestor accidentally figured out the secret of teleportation when she entered the world. When she returned to the void, she had created her own space, called the Shahong Small World. As for her own world, she forged a magic weapon that contained the rules of space, called the 'Qiankun Yihu'."
"A pot of heaven and earth?"
This time it was Fang Xiaoxie whose eyes widened, obviously thinking that the name of this magic weapon was too domineering.
"This pot can hold a piece of heaven and earth, but it is not made of the empty silk or empty silkworm sand that we usually use to make Qiankun bags and Xumi rings, but some other precious materials. It has such power, all thanks to the understanding of space by the Green Leaf Ancestor."
As they spoke, they had already turned around the corridor, and Zheng Yao's voice was full of admiration.
"As for the other few people, most of them have achieved the ultimate understanding of certain principles and approached a certain limit, so they learned how to call upon the power of space..."
Then, Zheng Yao gave several examples of people he knew, such as those who used the power of space at extreme speeds, or gravity, or even worse, those who used seemingly irrelevant swords. It was said that after someone cultivated the sword to the extreme, he did not need to understand anything else. With just one sword, its edge could cut through space, and its meaning could blend heaven and earth...
These are the pinnacle of understanding.
Jianchou and Zuoliu were listening attentively, and Fang Xiaoxie was even more fascinated.
But Fu Chaosheng, who was walking a little behind, frowned slightly.
The monk’s boundedness…
This courtyard is not small, and is more than enough to accommodate the people from Yashan. However, Mr. Zheng Yao wanted everyone to live more comfortably, so he specially picked out a few courtyards that were not close but still good and distributed them to everyone.
The place we are going to now is a bit remote.
As they talked, they did not stop and walked down the corridor and into the garden in front.
In mid-spring, flowers and trees are in full bloom.
There were a few clumps of cyclamen and unopened cosmos planted beside the gravel path. Perhaps no one had been here for a while, so a few peach tree branches with a few petals still in bloom were leaning out.
When Jianchou passed by, he accidentally touched a little bit of the branches, and the whole branch swayed.
The petals, which were almost past their blooming period, fell from the branches and floated in the air.
Fu Chaosheng's gaze naturally shifted over.
He almost subconsciously stretched out his hand and caught one of the petals. The pink and white petal, as light as a piece of snow, lay in his palm.
Jianchou was walking in front and listening to Zheng Yao talking.
But suddenly she realized something was wrong, she didn't hear Fu Chaosheng's footsteps, so she turned around to look. But at this moment, the scene in front of her made her pupils shrink!
Fu Chaosheng was seen standing there, with his five fingers slightly clenched, and when he opened them again, the peach petal was no longer in his palm!
There was almost a "boom" in my mind.
Having just listened to Zheng Yao's various analyses on the realm of "boundary", how could Jianchou not realize what the scene before him meant
Even though she had guessed about Fu Chaosheng's strength a long time ago, she had never really thought about it in detail...
“So the creation of heaven and earth is truly miraculous.”
"The silk and silkworm excrement we use to make the Qiankun Bag and the Xumi Ring all come from the void silkworms. They have low intelligence and the possibility of even cultivating into spirits is extremely low, but they are born with the ability to use the power of space. Therefore, their silk and silkworm excrement can be used to make magic tools for storage."
"But we humans, who claim to be the most intelligent species, are not even as good as a silkworm without any intelligence in this respect..."
Zheng Yao's voice, with a bit of strange sigh, came from the front and also reached Jianchou's ears, but it did not leave any trace in her mind.
She looked at Fu Chaosheng without saying anything.
Fu Chaosheng flipped his hand again, and the snow-like peach blossom appeared in his palm again.
"What's wrong?"
As Zheng Yao walked, two people disappeared and he realized something was wrong. But when he turned around, he saw the monk named Fu, who he was not very familiar with. He spread his palm with a peach petal in the palm and the rest were scattered at his feet.
So he laughed and said, "At this time, the peach blossoms are almost in full bloom. It's not the season to enjoy the flowers after all."
Didn't notice anything unusual.
Of course Jianchou would not say anything in front of Zheng Yao. He just suppressed his emotions secretly, turned around and walked back to Zheng Yao.
“It’s true that the flowering season has passed.”
"If Fellow Daoist Fu wants to see it, he can go thirty miles east of Yashan Mountain a few months earlier and you will see a peach blossom cliff with flowers blooming all over the sky like clouds. It is much more beautiful than this."
Zheng Yao had no doubts and even introduced the place to Fu Chaosheng.
Fu Chaosheng, however, already knew clearly the difference between cultivation and ability among the cultivators, so he smiled slightly, tilted his palm, and let the peach petal fall to the ground.
He did not respond to Zheng Yao's words and remained alienated and isolated as if he was in a world of his own.
During the time he lived in Yashan, Zheng Yao had already gotten to know his personality a little better. He didn't think he was being rude to him, but that was just how he was.
So he didn't mind, turned around and continued walking forward as usual.
Jianchou and the others quickly followed suit. No one noticed that the petal of peach blossom that fell to the ground withered quickly and silently the moment they turned around.
As the wind blew, it was swept into the flowers, trees and grass nearby and disappeared.
Although he was interrupted for a while, Zuo Liu was still thinking about what Zheng Yao had just said: "Master, besides the empty silkworm, is there any other similar existence in the world? One that is born with a good understanding of the rules of heaven and earth."
This problem is difficult for Zheng Yao.
His brows knitted together immediately, and he raised his chubby fingers to press his jaw. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Nineteen Continents should be gone. But the universe is vast, so there may be other places. Ancient monks have studied it. The intelligence of the empty silkworm is very low. It is in ignorance from birth to death. It is very likely to be a relic of the ancient times, and most likely born when the universe was first born."
"The birth of the universe?"
Zuo Liu was astonished. He never expected that the things related to the Qiankun bag he usually used had such a great origin.
Zheng Yao didn't think anything of it and explained with a smile.
"Think about it, human beings are so intelligent, and it takes such a long time to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. This is because the universe is so primitive and has been constantly changing. Humans can only follow its changes and understand its changes through their own changes."
"But if one's intelligence is not developed and one can comprehend and use the rules, then one will inevitably coexist with the universe."
"Time and space came into being when the universe was created. These ancient species were born with the universe, so they are born with the ability to know."
Zuo Liu seemed to understand what he heard, but he felt it was mysterious and profound, and it was not something he was familiar with. Things like the universe and ancient times seemed a bit unfamiliar.
It can be seen that sorrow can understand.
Because of her experience with the Extreme Region and the mustard seed of Xumi, as well as the eyes of the eyes, she was particularly sensitive to these things. But her mind flashed away and she did not ask any more questions.
Fu Chaosheng walked behind them, but he seemed to be thinking: an ancient relic, the empty silkworm
The footsteps were soft and crisp.
By this time, several people had already seen the courtyards built next to each other at the end of the garden path, and they felt that they were quiet and elegant.
Zheng Yao stopped here and said with a smile: "This is for you. There is a door at the back that connects to the street outside. After all, we are guests here now. If we want to go out on weekdays, we should be a little low-key and not fly around all the time..."
Just to give face to Ming Ri Xing Hai.
After all, they are foreign monks. If they fly around in the sky all day long, it would seem too arrogant and would not have a very good influence.
Everyone understood Zheng Yao's reminder and nodded.
After explaining all this, he stood up and prepared to leave.
But Jianchou hesitated for a moment, and finally called him: "Master, Master--"
Before she could finish her words, Zheng Yao already understood what she wanted to ask.
The expression on his face suddenly became a little silent. He glanced at Jianchou and smiled slowly, with an indescribable calmness and consolation: "Uncle Fudao has always been a man of temperament. He has been holding it in for too long, and at this time when the war is about to start, it is normal for him to be in a bad mood and think about the past. But there is no need to worry, Senior Sister. He has been through so many years, and he knows it clearly in his heart."
Jianchou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he was about to say something, he felt that all words were pale and powerless. So he simply stopped and just nodded.
"Disciple understands."
Zheng Yao nodded, put his hands behind his back and left the same way he came.
Jianchou had been staring at his back for a long time without saying anything, until Fu Chaosheng came closer and suddenly asked out of nowhere, "Where can I find the empty silkworm?"
"Empty silkworm?"
Jianchou was stunned and still a little dazed.
But Zuo Liu, who was standing by, looked over and raised his hand immediately, answering excitedly: "I know this, I know! The Central Region Zuo Sanqian Xihai Spiritual Pavilion is famous for raising various spiritual beasts, and the empty silkworm is one of them. There are also some in the Star Sea. I heard that Medicine King Yiming raises almost all the creatures that can be raised because he makes medicine and alchemy. You go - eh?"
He paused halfway through his words.
The gaze fell on Fu Chaosheng's head, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, staring at the pale fish-shaped jade hairpin, and asked with some surprise and hesitation: "Did it, did it move just now? I remember that an hour ago, the fish's tail seemed to be facing outwards..."
"… "
"… "
Jianchou and Fu Chaosheng were speechless almost at the same time. They looked at Zuo Liu with one unable to describe the words and the other slightly surprised.
The hairpin on his head is not a "fish hairpin" but a genuine "Kun", but generally no one will notice those tiny changes.
This left stream...
Fu Chaosheng's eyes fell on Zuo Liu. He raised his hand and touched the hairpin on his head, and said indifferently, "Really?"
"Yes, yes..."
I don’t know why, but I suddenly had a very strange sense of crisis.
Zuo Liu has always been very confident in his observation skills and he has hardly ever made any mistakes. But when he responded to the two words "Fu Chaosheng" this time, he actually felt a little guilty and short of breath.
Fu Chaosheng didn't do anything. He put his hand down and smiled slowly: "Maybe you saw it wrong."
"Can… "
Zuo Liu felt that he was not seeing things, it really just moved! He wanted to discuss this with Fu Chaosheng, so he walked up to him and asked him to lend him the hairpin.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a hand reached out, grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back.
"Big, big sister?"
Zuo Liu was wondering who it was and was startled. When he turned around, he saw it was Jianchou.
Jianchou put him down, gave him a kind and gentle smile, and made a final conclusion: "You are mistaken. Daoist Fu's hairpin has always been like this."
Then he looked at Fu Chaosheng and also at the hairpin.
There was a kind of gnashing threat in his voice: "Isn't it, Fellow Daoist Fu?"
At this moment, Yuzhan couldn't help but tremble. Of course, it could hear that these words were actually directed at it.
But…
I just turned over because my tail was itchy. Who would have thought that I would be discovered by this little monk from Yashan? Why would a normal person have such sharp eyes
Woo.
It’s unfair, so unfair!
