The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 120 Conversation, Road, Meditation and Shura Shinto?

When the two returned to the temple courtyard again, they found that their father was gone and the place was deserted.

Just when they were still wondering where the person had gone, a vicissitudes of life voice came into their ears.

"How long are you going to be in a daze? Come here quickly."

When I looked over to where the sound came from, I saw that in front of the largest attic in the temple, the old man, who had been wearing cool summer clothes before, had changed into the clothes of a monk.

His entire temperament also changed from a calm old man to an enlightened old monk who looked very knowledgeable about Buddhism.

After Yuki and Sanada looked at each other, they walked away.

Enter the house under the guidance of Dad.

In the middle of the room, a set of utensils for making tea was placed. At the father's signal, the three of them sat around it.

Taking out three teacups, the old man's movements were skillful and steady. The tea slowly flowed into the cups, steam rose, and the sound of the gurgling water seemed to be able to cleanse the somewhat impetuous hearts of Yuki and Sanada.

Handing two of the teacups filled with tea to the two people, the old man stroked his beard with one hand, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the two of them with deep eyes, as if he could see through their hearts.

"Since you have chosen to come here, I won't waste any time."

"Yuuki Maya...right, I'm old and can't remember the names of young people." The old man sighed slightly, as if he was lamenting his age.

"Yes."

Yuuki Maya took a sip of tea and nodded in response.

"Have you thought clearly now why I let Chunfeng find you alone at that time?" Dad asked in a riddle, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

"I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

Of course, Yuuki Maya thought carefully about what the other party said to him at that time, but he paid attention to his physical condition many times afterwards and found nothing unusual.

"About a year ago, a child with equally great mental power came here."

Dad didn't give a direct answer, but suddenly changed the subject.

"I see a little bit of the temperament that kid had before he came here in you, but that's just a little bit. You don't have many similarities with him. The only thing in common is that you both don't have too much obsession with winning or losing."

"Obsession?!"

Maya Yuuki was slightly stunned, savoring her father's last words carefully.

The obsession with victory?

Maya Yuuki thought about it and realized that although she had hardly lost any games since coming to this world, she did lose a few games when she first started playing tennis.

But thinking back on those losses, he realized that he didn't have the reaction that a loser should have.

Reluctant, regretful, sad...

He didn't have any of that kind of emotion.

However, this seems normal to Maya Yuuki, because he knows his growth curve, understands what the upper limit of the national level is, and what the world-class level should be.

Therefore, losing a few unimportant games at the beginning did not cause any ripples in his heart. On the contrary, after his strength reached a certain bottleneck, he really did not have any feelings about the junior high school competitions because he knew he could not lose.

So, what my dad said sounds right, but not entirely right.

However, because of the information gap, Yuuki Maya did not interrupt him, but continued to listen in silence. "I taught that child the method to control his spiritual power, and today, I will also teach you this method--" The old man paused and glanced at Sanada Genichirō beside him: "And your companions."

"In fact, considering your companion's situation, if he had better qualifications, he would be more suitable for this path than you."

When mentioning Sanada, the old man stroked his beard again and spoke with a hint of regret.

"what do you mean……"

Sanada on the side seemed to be listening to a foreign language and did not understand what his father wanted to express at all. On the contrary, Yuki Mayamon knew the meaning of the other party's words and immediately asked on Sanada's behalf.

"Because he has realized his own weakness."

The old man said this calmly, then turned to look in the direction of Sanada and said firmly: "Son, do you have some opponents that you want to defeat at all costs? In order to defeat them, you keep honing your skills, just hoping that one day you can defeat the opponent who once defeated you."

"How...did you know that?!"

Sanada's face suddenly turned blank. They had only met once, so how could the other party be so sure of judging his state of mind!
"It was your mental state that gave me the answer, and that's why I agreed to let Yuki bring you along." When the old man said this, he couldn't help but feel regretful again.

In Sanada's current state, it can be said that he has already taken one foot on this shortcut to Shura Shinto, but the thing that prevents him from taking the other foot is that he is still lacking in mental strength.

Fortunately, he has a way to make up for this shortcoming, but it takes time.

After a moment of silence, the old man felt that the time was right, so he said, "Now, I will use Buddhist teachings to guide you into a meditative state. Close your eyes, empty your body, and feel your spiritual essence."

Upon hearing this, Yuki and Sanada put down the teacups in their hands and imitated their father's sitting posture, sitting cross-legged on the mat with their hands hanging naturally on their knees.

Slowly close your eyes and adjust your breathing to make it smooth and long.

Meditation is a state of meditation in Buddhism.

As time passed, the old man slowly stopped reciting the Buddhist scriptures. He opened his eyes and looked at the two people opposite him.

Genichirō Sanada closed his eyes, but his brows were slightly furrowed. It was obvious that he still had some distracting thoughts in his mind and was unable to clear his mind and eliminate external interference.

However, Dad can understand this state. Not everyone can successfully enter meditation for the first time. This requires a step-by-step approach.

However, when his eyes fell on Maya Yuuki, he suddenly looked surprised.

At the moment, Yuuki Maya's breath was long and he stood still like an old monk in meditation. This sign showed that he had already entered into meditation.

"It's really amazing..."

The old man twirled his beard. In his opinion, the little guy in front of him seemed to be better at controlling his mental talent than the child a year ago.

……

And in a dark space somewhere, Maya Yuuki, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes after her eyes trembled slightly.

Meditation is not a difficult thing for Maya Yuuki, because every time he was honing his Quincy abilities in his mind, he would grab his racket and enter a meditative state. So now he is just changing his way of meditation, which doesn't make much difference to him.

After entering into meditation under the guidance of his father, Yuuki Maya felt that his body seemed to be sinking continuously. It was not until the feeling of falling disappeared that he vaguely felt that he was standing on solid ground.

After opening his eyes, a pitch-black cave with no light appeared in front of him. This seemed to be the scene derived from his mental power.

Maya Yuuki understood that deep in the cave before her was most likely the gate to Shura Shinto.

He took a step forward and walked calmly into the cave to find out what was inside.
