Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 371 Zhao Shouyi's Obsession

"In fact, after I noticed your aura on this girl, I had a feeling that you would definitely come!"

Mo Yi glanced at Ye Ruoyi who was silent in the distance, and then glanced at Sikong Qianluo. These two girls had Zhao Shouyi's backup plan. Even the young man who called himself Xiao Se had the remaining aura of Zhao Shouyi on him.

“The world is not big.”

Zhao Shouyi shook his head. To be honest, it was he who told Xiao Se to come to find him. He just didn't expect Ye Ruoyi to come with him. After all, Ye Ruoyi's illness had been cured by him.

"In fact, there is one more thing. I also know that even if you have comprehended the law of time, you can only use it in the most superficial ways. Reversing the long river of time is probably something that a mortal cannot achieve in his lifetime."

Mo Yi put his hands behind his back and spoke again, but Zhao Shouyi fell silent, because what the other party said was right. Time was too mysterious. The changes of things, the course of life, what happened, what did not happen, what we know and what we don't know, are actually all within time.

All he could do now was the most superficial application of time. As for when he could really pluck the string of time, go upstream, and fish a person's soul out of the long river of time, it was uncertain. It might be possible in the future, or it might not be possible.

"To comprehend the way of time, one needs a certain span of time. Sometimes it takes hundreds or even thousands of years. Sometimes I am curious about how you have accumulated such a breadth of time in just a dozen years."

"Even I have been looking at this world for seventy or eighty years, but I still haven't touched that thread!!"

"We Taoists have a saying, 'The Dao has magical powers, and those who are destined to have them will obtain them.' And the teachings will not be passed on to others! If possible, I really hope that the person who comprehends the Dao of Time is myself. What a pity. What a pity."

It is not difficult to hear that Mo Yi is quite envious of Zhao Shouyi's ability to comprehend the way of time, because for what he wants to do, the way of time is the best choice.

Reversing time is a magical power that even immortals may not be able to perform. However, transforming oneself into a floating body and swimming upstream in the long river of time to fish out an ordinary soul is not a difficult task.

"Do you know your own heart now?"

Mo Yi looked at the person in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and his tone seemed calm, but it contained a mystery.

Seeing clearly into one's own heart is just a superficial statement. The real meaning is to ask, has Zhao Shouyi clearly understood the path he wants to take, and what is the meaning of his persistence in cultivation?
This was the obsession he had talked about with Xiao Se before.

"Gentleman, the villain is always thinking about it."

Taoist masters often use this sentence to educate their disciples.

This thought is about obsession, it is the truth that you have cultivated, it is the persistence in your heart.

If something shakes the ideas you hold and the path you have chosen, the results will naturally be less than ideal, and you may even be in danger of going astray.

If you can understand your own heart, your spiritual practice will naturally improve by leaps and bounds. But if you just go with the flow, you will definitely achieve nothing.

The last time he saw Zhao Shouyi, he was somewhat surprised to find that the other party didn't seem to have that obsession at all.

It seems that there is nothing that must be accomplished, or there is no wish. For being the best in the world, for becoming an immortal, or for attaining enlightenment, there is no such mentality of forging ahead and not giving up until the goal is achieved.

Although this is generally harmless to those who are practicing, but no harm is a disadvantage. Practicing Buddhism is like climbing a mountain. Others are moving forward vigorously, but if you are standing still, you will fall behind.

If you fall behind in one step, you may fall behind step by step, and finally it will be difficult to achieve perfection. There is a saying that when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, and when the luck is gone, heroes are helpless. Times make heroes, and this is not empty talk.

Every martial arts school in the world has a certain amount of luck. They can produce a certain number of sword immortals, gun immortals, or knife immortals, but there is an upper limit to that. Sometimes a tiny difference can mean a huge gap.

As long as the predecessors have not left, the descendants are destined to have no chance of this position, because it is determined by the comprehensive fortune of the world, not by individuals.

If one has a clear goal in mind, then the subsequent practice will have a plan. But for Zhao Shouyi, although he had the idea, it was not very strong. He enjoyed the process more rather than the result.

Of course, this is also related to his own experience. Being in a different place, if he and Mo Yi had similar experiences when they were young, I am afraid that he would also have a trace of obsession at this time.

But for him, it is hard to say whether obsession is good or bad.

Tao follows nature. Taoists emphasize inaction. They follow the will of heaven and the times, go with the flow. They do all that should be done. There is nothing that can be left undone. So what can be forced?
If you blindly insist on results, it is easy to fall into extremism and do things by any means necessary, just like Mo Yi now. Under normal circumstances, most people would never have the idea that he has now, killing the whole world just to resurrect one person.

"I want to climb high to see the world."

Zhao Shouyi was silent for a while and then spoke again.

At this time, Xiao Se, Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo and others who were knocked away by Mo Yi saw that the two men did not take action but were saying some strange words, and they couldn't help feeling curious.

"Xiao Se, what are they doing?"

Lei Wujie scratched his hair, looking confused.

However, Xiao Se was unable to answer this question, because he himself did not know what these two people were doing, and the same was true for Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo.

However, the monk facing the wall not far from them had an especially solemn look in his eyes.

This is a question of self-examination on the path of spiritual practice.

Although the two men did not fight, and no swords could be seen, the danger level was no less than a life-and-death battle between them. The state of mind is the basis for determining whether a person can make further progress in the future.

It is very common for a person to encounter various problems on the path of spiritual practice. However, the key to seeing how far a person can go in the future lies in whether a person's heart is strong enough and whether he has found his own path.

Some people wield swords to exorcise demons. With one sword, they kill many people, but they can still ascend to heaven. Some people may ask, killing too much is harmful to the harmony of heaven, how can such people ascend to heaven? In fact, it is not the case. Existence is the truth. Some things cannot be explained by reason, so we can only change another method.

As long as a person understands the reason why he draws the sword and knows why he draws the sword, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but will follow his own bottom line. This way of holding the sword is actually the same as practicing. Therefore, their drawing of the sword is not just drawing the sword, but also a kind of practice of the state of mind.

"Sir, have you ever thought that if your sister doesn't want to..."

"No, impossible!!"
