Xu Hong thought he had to try to explain to Yu Qiu what a heart block was, but he saw the young disciple who had just reached the eighth level of Qi Refining before him nodded very clearly, "Heart block, of course I know."
"Really?" Seeing that this saves the effort of explaining, Xu Hong said directly, "To tell you the truth, Junior Brother Xiao is currently in deep trouble."
"Oh." Yu Qiu nodded clearly.
"...Why does Junior Brother Yu seem not worried at all?"
Yu Qiu looked at him in confusion, as if no one needed to worry about such things at all.
Xu Hong couldn't help asking, "Are you sure you really know what a mental barrier is?"
After asking, he paused again, and then sighed, "Yes, even if you know, you probably heard it from Junior Brother Xiao before. But if you haven't experienced this kind of thing yourself, you can't really understand it."
Naturally, Yu Qiu would not be honest that he had experienced it many times, so he could only laugh dryly, "Maybe. But I am not too far away from the peak of Qi refining, and I will experience it sooner or later."
Xu Hong nodded, "That's true."
"The so-called heart barrier is actually the peak of one realm of cultivation, but the state of mind can't make oneself step into the next realm. After all, the breakthrough of state of mind is always more difficult than cultivation." Yu Qiu said again, "so This is actually not a great thing, everyone will have it, but some are easier to pass, and some are more difficult. And mental barriers... are always the most personal thing for every monk."
Xu Hong looked at him in surprise. This statement about mental barriers is from an angle he has never heard of before. In the past, he only knew that mental barriers were obstacles on the path of cultivation, which stood in front of the door to break through to the next realm, and if he couldn't move it, he couldn't enter that door. As for its essence, he had never seen anyone who dared to speak so firmly. But after careful consideration of Yu Qiu's remarks, it seems that they are not purely fabricated, and there is still some truth to them.
"So Xiao Xiao's mental barrier..."
"It's his own business." Yu Qiu said decisively, "If he thinks it is necessary to seek help from others and comes to us, I will naturally do my best to help him. But if it is not for him to ask for help, I will never will intervene."
Xu Hong was a little dazed. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the messy digging marks on the ceiling of the living room.
He thought to himself: No wonder Master and Senior Brother let Junior Brother Xiao do whatever he wants. After all, only the cultivator himself has the right to choose how to deal with mental obstacles. Even if other people want to help, they can only help along this choice. On the contrary, it was too abrupt for him to try to persuade Xiao Chunmian to change his coping method.
"Today's conversation with you, Junior Brother Yu...together, the harvest is far beyond my imagination." Xu Hongdao, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Yu would have such insights."
Yu Qiu laughed dryly: Nonsense, I almost became a Nascent Soul once.
"Cultivation and performance are important, but in fact it is even more rare to have a unique insight." Xu Hong suddenly became a little interested, "Is Junior Brother Yu interested in becoming a house disciple? I can talk to my master or father..."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Yu Qiu interrupted him hastily, and wiped off his sweat, "I think it's fine now."
Seeing that someone turned down an opportunity to become a disciple, Xu Hong was quite astonished.
After a while, Xu Hong finally came back to his senses, and sighed again, "Brother Yu really has extraordinary insight!"
In fact, Yu Qiu was just afraid of trouble, anyway, he didn't need any Golden Core Master to teach him.
"So in the eyes of my junior brother," Xu Hong asked again, "What kind of state of mind do ordinary monks need most if they want to break through to Foundation Establishment?"
Just as Yu Qiu was about to answer, he suddenly paused again, raised his eyes and looked over teasingly.
Xu Hong coughed dryly, "To be honest, I have been troubled by my heart for a long time."
"Senior Brother Xu, since he asked, I know everything." Yu Qiu said with a smile, "The process of breaking through the barriers of the monks, that is, the process of continuously improving the state of mind, I think, is essentially the process of exploring one's own way."
Xu Hongruo realized something.
"Or to put it further." Yu Qiu said, "It is the process of finding one's own way and then constantly advancing on this way."
Xu Hong was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed, "In fact, Master seems to have said something similar to me before."
"It makes sense, it's always the same thing." Yu Qiu nodded, not surprised. After all, Zhao Lian is also a person who can reach the golden core, and these basic understandings are not bad.
Xu Hong then seemed a little troubled, "Master also said that the way of sword cultivation is narrower than ordinary people." This was something he couldn't understand before.
"Because the sword cultivator never moves forward." Yu Qiu said, "There is no room for hesitation on the road of sword cultivator."
Xu Hong was startled suddenly, and looked at Yu Qiu for a while, "Junior brother Yu also has research on kendo?"
"Well... because I knew a swordsman before." Yu Qiu rubbed his face, "Although he has stopped at the peak of Jindan."
A sword cultivator at the peak of Jindan! Going farther than Zhao Lian! Xu Hong was immediately awed, "I don't know which senior it is? Can you recommend it?"
...it's you...
Yu Qiu waved his hand, "Actually, I just met by chance, and now I can't contact you."
Xu Hongben also felt that there was little hope, and he was not too disappointed. He only continued to ask nervously and expectantly, "Did that senior say anything else?"
"He also said that as a sword cultivator, if you want to be truly indomitable," Yu Qiu said, "the first step is to find a path that is sufficient for you to be indomitable."
When he said these words, the birds and insects outside the house could be heard endlessly, which carried a bit of laziness and sultriness in midsummer to people's ears.
When the voice of these words fell, Xu Hong felt that everything was quiet.
He seemed to be chewing this sentence in the silence, from the beginning to the end, and from the end to the beginning. So gradually the birds began to sing again, and the insects began to sing again, but the lazy and sultry heat seemed to be filtered out by the filter cloth, leaving only a kind of clear and refreshing.
Heart obstacle, heart obstacle, Xu Hong has been looking for his heart obstacle for ten years.
Until now, he suddenly discovered that the heart barrier to him was not actually a stone blocking the door. On the contrary, there is no stone in his heart at all, so naturally he can't find it. What was in his heart was actually a mist, and the door was not blocked behind the stone, but behind the mist.
However, after enjoying himself, Xu Hong failed to solve everything.
Finally, the fog in his heart was cleared away, but what Xu Hong saw was not his own way, but... a lot of ways that seemed similar with minor differences. Each one seems to be able to walk around, but if you look closely, it seems that none of them can make him move forward.
Yu Qiu didn't bother, and Ren Xuhong settled down there.
After a long while, Xu Hong finally came back from the sedation, and then let out a long sigh. He was at the peak of Qi refining before he entered meditation, and he was still at the peak of Qi refining after entering meditation.
"I finally understand why my father always says that I am not suitable to be a sword cultivator." Xu Hong's expression was a little lonely at first, "I can't do anything that other sword cultivators take for granted."
Then he cheered up quickly. After all, he has been stuck for ten years, and every bit of progress is commendable. "Now I have finally found the reason, and it is better than being like a headless chicken like before. Brother Yu, I am very grateful today."
Yu Qiu nodded, "I'm also very happy to be able to help Senior Brother Xu."
Then Xu Hong finally bid farewell to Yu Qiu, and with a harvest far greater than he had imagined, he left happily... Halfway through leaving, Xu Hong paused again, and came back, "Junior Yu, if you still have a chance, I have contacted that senior swordsman, please ask him a few questions for me, as long as he can give me a few words about my situation, I will be very grateful!"
Yu Qiu showed embarrassment.
"Just in case there is still a chance," Xu Hong said hastily, "If not, Junior Brother Yu doesn't have to force it. After all, I am already very grateful right now."
Yu Qiu nodded, "I will try."
Only then did Xu Hong bid farewell happily.
Yu Qiu patted his face, thinking about Xu Hong's current situation, he also frowned very troubled. The current Xu Hong is indeed too strange. Although I heard that Xu Hong had been stuck at the peak of Qi refining for ten years in his previous life, since Yu Qiu could remember, Xu Hong had always looked like a standard swordsman. Did not know before.
Since Xu Hong had asked him, Yu Qiu decided to do his best to solve this problem.
After all, even if you don't look at the grievances and entanglements in the previous life, if Xu Hong is willing to run around for Xiao Chunmian in this life, Yu Qiu should reciprocate.
But how should Xu Hong's problem be solved...
Thinking of Xu Honglin's entrustment before he left, Yu Qiu rubbed his eyebrows: Does he really want to find a way to find Xu Hong from his previous life to ask
And after Xu Hong left from Yu Qiu, he naturally didn't throw all his hopes on Yu Qiu, but stayed in front of Zhao Lian's door.
Zhao Lian woke up from a nap, finally recruited him in, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? It's really rare for you to look so high-spirited."
"Master, this disciple just had a discussion with a younger brother today." Xu Hong replied, "I actually figured out many things at once."
Zhao Lian was noncommittal, "You often think about many things at every turn, but it's just useless."
Xu Hong lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Actually, I think it's good for you to do this. Don't always listen to your father blah blah." Zhao Lian hugged his legs and sat on the bed, "Building foundations is certainly important, but as a monk, there are always some Something other than cultivation."
"For example, your own way?"
"That's right." Zhao Lian said with a smile, "To be honest, if you weren't a swordsman, you might have established the foundation long ago—I agree with your father on this point. But you always choose to be a swordsman ,Why?"
Xu Hong raised his head, revealing a look of nostalgia.
At the same time, Yu Qiu rode a crane to Luoxing Peak, one of the three peaks belonging to the Outer Sect, and stopped at a place close to Xuanyang Outer Mountain, looking at the road in front of him.
mentality.
No matter what, he can no longer ask Xu Hong from his previous life... But if he meets again in the memory in his heart, he may be able to find something.
