The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 24: The Thinker

The symbol of Wuzhangjing is that the flying sword can be hidden in the sword pill.

Since Jing Jiu is a state of no manifestation, why can't he even do the most basic things?

Neither Gu Han nor Yuanqu listened to this kind of thing, let alone figured out a solution.

The air in the cave suddenly became quiet.

And it lasted for a while.

Jing Jiu woke up and said, "When I didn't say it."

Gu Han and Yuanqu looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Zhao Layue came up with an idea.

"Retreat."

When she wanted to come, Master Jingyang's uncle was able to have such an astonishing level of cultivation back then, all because he often retreats in Shenmo Peak for more than a hundred years.

It's like now...even if you are still a peerless genius, how can you be so lazy these years, and your practice is also very inattentive.

This is actually a misunderstanding.

Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Jing Jiu does not agree with the common retreats in the monastic world.

The reason why he rarely leaves Shenmo Peak and claims to be in retreat for more than a hundred years is mainly because he does not want to see idlers and manage his business.

According to his view, unless the practice reaches some of the most important junctures and cannot be disturbed by others, one needs to be isolated from the world and concentrate on breaking the boundary. Usually practice is nothing more than meditation, absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, and comprehending the heavens and the earth. Why do you have to keep yourself in a cave for so long?

After hearing this, Zhao Layue remembered that Jing Jiu was not an ordinary monk.

Ordinary ascetics, including her, often need to retreat. Except for the critical moment of breaking the boundary, even if it is just normal practice, if you can have a quieter and undisturbed independent space, of course it will be more helpful for absorption. Refinement of heaven and earth aura and Dao heart.

Jing Jiu does not need to do this.

People of Shenmofeng know that he can practice even lying on a bamboo chair.

Even many times, there is a cat squatting on his head, and a cicada squatting on the cat.

He seems to be able to enter a state of lucid Taoism anytime and anywhere.

Zhao Layue even has a feeling that he may have been in this state all the time.

This is an awesome talent.

"Then why does Senior Brother Zhuo Rusui of Tianguangfeng keep retreating?"

Yuan Qu asked curiously.

Zhuo Rusui is the closed disciple of the real head, and the most talented person before Zhao Layue and Liu Shisui, and he holds a high status among the disciples of Qingshan.

Even if Zhao Layue has become the peak master of the gods in these years, Liu Shisui has done so many great things, but still has not been able to change this.

The reason is simple, because he has been in retreat.

From the first day when many disciples entered Qingshan, they knew that Senior Brother Zhuo was retreating at Tianguang Peak.

Until many years later, Brother Zhuo was still in retreat.

Don't talk about those disciples, even Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu have never seen Zhuo Rusui.

There are many ascetics who have been in retreat for decades or even longer, but it is really rare for a young ascetic like Zhuo Rusui to retreat for more than ten years after entering the mountain gate.

Anything done to the utmost will look great. As the retreat time gets longer and longer, Zhuo Rusui becomes more mysterious and eye-catching.

Jing Jiu said: "In the officialdom of the world, he is raising hope."

Gu Qing understood what he meant, and smiled silently.

Yuanqu understands the meaning of raising hope, but doesn't understand what it has to do with Zhuo Rusui's retreat.

Jing Jiu asked: "The imperial court wants to recruit a celebrity as an official. If the official position given does not match his imagination, what will he do?"

"Naturally, he is resolute, so his reputation will be higher, and he may get more in the future..."

Yuan Qu said: "But I still don't understand that Qingshan Sect does not have an official position. What is Brother Zhuo waiting for?"

"He is waiting for a moment. He can confirm that he is the strongest among the young generation of Qingshan."

Jing Jiu said: "I can even imagine those scenes. In the past ten years, he has broken through the boundary several times. Just when he was happy, I suddenly knew that there was a young fellow in Qingshan who was more successful than him. I was shocked and could only return to the cave mansion in depression."

Gu Qing and Yuanqu naturally looked at Zhao Layue.

Many records of the Qingshan Sect about cultivation are in Shenmofeng, either Jingyang real person or Zhao Layue.

Jing Jiu is talking about the latter.

Zhao Layue looked at him and said: "It's hard to guess the same people without reason."

Jing Jiu said: "It's not a guess. If the head accepts him as a closed disciple, he must like him very much, and what a person likes the most is the person most like him."

Zhao Layue said: "I don't think I am like you."

Jing Jiu said: "Actually it looks like it."

Zhao Layue was startled and said: "What you said today... seems to be a lot."

"If you want me to retreat, then I will say everything for a while."

Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "When I retreat, you must not delay your practice, but you can't let him pass over."

Zhao Layue said impatiently: "You should worry about yourself."

She respects Jing Jiu very much, but she deliberately acted indifferently in front of others, but at this time she really couldn't help it.

……

……

For ascetics, retreat is of course a major event.

They have never seen Jing Jiu in retreat, they have only seen him lying on a bamboo chair, so they are naturally more cautious.

Zhao Layue wrote the sword book and notified all peaks, then inserted the Firth sword into the stone wall, and activated the forbidden formation to seal the entire Shenmo Peak.

The stone gate of the cave is slowly closed.

She said to Gu Qing and Yuanqu: "It is inconvenient for him to stay in this retreat for many years. You don't need to stay here forever. You will leave first and come back in a few days."

Several apes cry from the cliff, and the top of the peak is nowhere to be seen.

The white cat slowly walked out of the cave, squinted at Qiuyang, with an expression of indescribable comfort.

The Shenmo Peak forbidden formation has been opened. It can come out to bask in the sun at any time. It's really happy, but it's a bit regretful that it can't go squatting on Jing Jiutou anymore.

A light smoke rose from the ground, accompanied by a clear rubbing sound, the chilly ran out, cautiously squatting beside the white cat.

……

……

There are many caves in Shenmo Peak that no one uses.

Jing Jiu found a cave mansion in the depths of the peak and walked in.

The setting in the cave is very simple. There is a stone bed, no futons, and clear springs on the walls. There is nothing else.

He didn't have the seal of the knot or the formation of formations like other monks in retreat. He walked directly to the stone bed and sat down, looking very casual.

He sat cross-legged, leaning forward slightly, his right elbow resting on his knees, his right hand supporting his chin, and he began to meditate.

He thought about it for more than ten days.

During this process, he didn't get up once, he didn't drink a sip of spring water, and he didn't even change his posture.

After Zhao Layue and others were sure that he was not afraid to be disturbed, they visited it twice and didn't understand what he was doing, only one feeling.

The meditating Jing Jiu is really like the immortals in the famous murals of Shuanglin Temple, with a solemn and mysterious beauty.

……

……

One day, Jing Jiu opened his eyes, looked at the iron sword beside him, and moved slightly.

The iron sword flew up and came to him.

According to the practice method of Qingshan School or other Jianzong, after entering the state of no manifestation, as long as you move your mind, the flying sword will merge with the sword pill.

This process is generally referred to as collecting the sword~IndoMTL.com~ There are many ways for the monk to collect the sword, some will make the flying sword disappear directly, and some will swallow the flying sword in one bite.

There are also more side-to-door sword collection methods. For example, the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect prefer to transport the sword pill out of the body and meet the flying sword in the air.

For a sword repairer without a manifestation, collecting the sword is the easiest thing.

Jing Jiu couldn't do it. No matter how he urged his sword consciousness, the iron sword couldn't get close to his body.

If you look closely, or you can see the iron sword, it seems a little awed, and it can even be said to be fear.
