Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

You must know that Gu Jiating's "Daluo Cave" is very convenient for finding people, especially people who are involved with them. Even if the other person dies, he can still find the remaining traces of the other person through the connection.

But he couldn't find the rootless being at all, which meant that the rootless being was not dead at all. According to You Fang's estimation, the "god spirit" who should be the rootless being had reached the level of "Daluo Cave Viewing". The observation can also resolve the situation, so it is completely hidden.

"From this point of view, even if Wu Gensheng's strength is not as good as that of Lao Tianshi, it is already far superior to others..." Thinking of this, You Fang couldn't help but sigh, and quietly clenched his palms.

This is inevitable. After all, as early as more than sixty years ago, Wu Gensheng was able to remain undefeated in the face of Mr. Lu and several "Second Level" disciples of the Trinity Sect, and even killed other than Lu. The cultivation level of everyone except the old man is already far beyond the level of the average "top powerhouse".

But then, the corners of You Fang's mouth suddenly raised again, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, because he knew that no matter what Wu Gensheng was doing, what his intentions were, and whether it had anything to do with him, he and Wu Gensheng would have to be together in the future. There will be a battle!

This is the old man's last wish, and it is also Wugensheng's debt to the Trinity Sect. As a descendant of the Trinity Sect, he will do anything to get this debt back!

"In addition to Wugensheng, there is also Li Muxuan..." Thinking of this, he thought of Li Muxuan again, his eyes narrowed, and calculations arose in his heart.

Although for now, he has not been able to find Wugensheng's location, and his own cultivation is not yet able to fight against him, he knows very well where Li Muxuan is, and when the time is right, he will definitely collect the debt!

"call……"

But soon, You Fang breathed a sigh of relief and put this matter aside for the time being. After all, it was a matter for the future and had nothing to do with this moment.

Then, he took a closer look at the oil paintings in his hand, then took out his mobile phone and took pictures of all the paintings, then turned around and called the four people over.

"Oh, by the way, everyone, there is one thing I almost forgot. My master told me that there is a different world deep in this cave!" He said immediately.

"It's just that to find this secret, you need to solve a puzzle, and this puzzle has two clues: first, what is a human being? Second, sincerity!"

With that said, You Fang took out the "Demon Painting Brush" and used Qi as ink to write these two tips directly on the ground.

"hiss……"

"What does it mean?"

When they saw the prompt, the other four people frowned. Obviously, for them, this was not something that could be solved in a short while.

"Anyway, let's look here first to see if there are any clues. Since the key is here, we must be able to find something." At this time, You Fang waved his hand.

Although he already knew the answer, he still needed time to think about solving the puzzle, so he simply guided the four of Hong Bin to solve the puzzle. He believed that it shouldn't be difficult to solve the puzzle with the talents of the four people.

Sure enough, soon...

"Hey, I found a pair of footprints here, could it be related to the mystery?" Hong Bin suddenly shouted, and then greeted everyone.

When everyone gathered to take a look, they found a pair of depressions similar to footprints on the pavilion of the pavilion. Judging from their shape and position, there were obvious traces of man-made damage, and they could not be formed naturally.

"This thing... is a mechanism!"

Tang Yingjie saw the clues about who was the top mechanism master of the younger generation of Tang Sect at a glance and pointed it out immediately.

"If I'm not wrong, these footprints are where the mechanism in this cave opens. As long as we can find the corresponding method, we can activate the mechanism!"

"Oh? Let me try!"

When Hong Bin heard this, he immediately became excited. He immediately stepped on it with both feet and stamped hard several times at the same time.

Boom boom boom!

"Huh? No reaction? Is the method wrong?"

After saying that, he tried to use Qi again, trying to inject his own Qi into the soles of his feet, but after repeating it several times, there was still no reaction in the hole.

"There should be another way." At this time, Yu Feng walked up directly and said, "Let me try it. I thought of a possibility."

Saying that, You Fang waved his hand, signaling Hong Bin to give way, then squatted down and observed the pair of footprints.

After a moment, he stretched out the index and middle fingers of both hands, put the fingers of both hands together, and made a "pointing" gesture, transporting Qi to the fingertips.

Swish!

The next second, You Fang reached out with both hands, and tapped the fingers of both hands at the same time, tapping on the "Yongquan Point" of the two footprints...

Then he retracted his two fingers, leaving only the Qi on his fingertips. Two white Qi swayed on the footprints, but they did not disperse.

"This is?!"

Seeing this change, the other four people were surprised. They could all feel that You Fang's Qi seemed to be absorbed by the ground, which was quite strange.

And before they could say anything else, they just listened...

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Suddenly there was a roaring sound from the soles of their feet, as if there were mechanisms running in tandem.

"What a success!"

Several people looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, and then immediately jumped away, exited the vibration range, and waited...

And soon, just below the top of the pavilion, the ground suddenly divided into a circle, and then the circle sank and split into the shape of a yin and yang fish, like a sliding portal, bounded by the curve in the middle, slowly moving toward both sides. Open slowly!

176. Chapter 175: A Teacher

176.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Boom!

After a while, the yin-yang fish-shaped door opened completely, revealing the rectangular space underneath and a staircase going downwards.

There is no doubt that this is the "treasure place" hidden here. The five people looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"Lao You, how did you judge this? Tell me!" At this time, Hong Bin suddenly asked, his face full of curiosity.

As a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he could naturally tell that what You Fang just clicked was the "Yongquan point", but he couldn't figure out how those two hints were related to the Yongquan point.

"Haha, it's actually very simple." You Fang smiled when he heard this, and then stretched out a finger, "First of all, it's the word 'sincerity'."

"The so-called 'sincerity' should be tested on the 'cultivation heart' of those who enter the valley. In other words, it is not 'sincerity to others', but 'sincerity to oneself'!"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Fu Chen nodded immediately. It was obvious that he had also thought of this level.

"Indeed, for practitioners, this interpretation of the word 'sincerity' is more suitable. This also echoes the situation in this valley!"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Obviously, Hong Bin still didn't understand, so he scratched his head and asked immediately.

Fu Chen also continued to explain: "For all practitioners, various 'distracting thoughts' during the practice process are the most likely to disrupt practice. Once the mentality changes due to these 'distracting thoughts', it is easy to slack off in practice." .”

"Under this kind of slack situation, the growth rate of a cultivator's cultivation level will naturally slow down, but most cultivators are unwilling to admit this, and there will be a situation of 'self-deception'."

"At least among most ordinary practitioners, this situation is quite common. This is also a manifestation of 'disloyalty' and will further hinder practice. The only way to combat it is to calm down and Be true to yourself.”

Having said this, Fuchen paused:

"Looking at the valley in front, the strange textures make it easy for ordinary people and cultivators to linger in it, giving rise to countless thoughts..."

"Regardless of whether there are those fine lines carved later, this will not change. In addition, the complex structure in this cave will become more and more disturbing if it is not understood. As a result, it will become even more difficult to calm down. Come down and face your heart."

"Under such a premise, even if those who enter the valley can finally come here, they will be annoyed by the 'emptiness' here. With their restless thoughts, it is basically impossible to discover the clues, that is, to get there The very end…the pair of footprints.”

"It can be said that the word 'sincerity' points to that pair of footprints, which also means 'down-to-earth'. After finding those footprints, we should start to solve the mystery of 'what is a human being'. "

After saying that, Fu Chen turned his attention to You Fang. This question "What is a human being?" was solved by You Fang, so naturally it was him who should explain it.

When You Fang saw this, he smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said: "Lao Fu is right, the word 'sincerity' has this meaning. As for 'what is a human being'... haha."

As he said that, he suddenly looked in the direction he came from, memories appeared in his eyes, and he asked at the same time: "I wonder if you still remember, among the monkeys outside the valley, some of them are particularly powerful. Who are they?" state?"

"What state? This..." Several people were stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and soon realized, "Ah! They all seem to be standing!"

"Yes, unlike other monkeys, those powerful monkeys are not lying on all fours as usual, but standing in a standing posture. From a monkey's instinct... this is not normal." You Fang nodded.

"But if you combine it with the supernatural phenomena in this valley, it is not difficult to judge. The reason why they have such changes is probably because they have received a complete baptism in the valley. The entire spine is completely penetrated, and the two meridians of Ren and Du are fully opened, so it is natural. It has become a standing state!”

"Speaking of which, since the minds of animals are inherently simple, it is difficult for them to have unnecessary 'distractions' before their wisdom is truly enlightened. Therefore, the influence of those small lines does not have much effect on these monkeys..."

"In other words, the function of this entire canyon can be seen most intuitively in these monkeys. They have changed from lying on all fours to standing on two legs, which is to say that they are infinitely close to the form of a 'human' .”

"So, this is what 'what is a human being' means?" Hong Bin frowned, "Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple!" You Fang nodded again, "Standing on both legs, with the body upright and the sky on the ground, is the difference between humans and most animals!"

Then, he continued: "After coming to this conclusion, the rest is simple. This pair of footprints has given us a hint, just like 'treat yourself with sincerity' and 'down to earth', and 'stand firm on the ground. The basis of ' also lies in 'establishment'!"

"And Lao Hong has already tried it just now. Just standing on the footprints will not change at all. That means there must be another clue to this."

"That's why I thought of the 'Yongquan Point'. Among all the acupoints in the human body, the one that corresponds to the 'top of the sky' is the 'Baihui Point', and the one that corresponds to the 'standing ground'... is naturally the 'Yongquan Point' !”

"In this way, this riddle will be completely solved. All you need to do is point your fingers at the 'Yongquan Point' of the footprints, and the mechanism will be opened!"

"I see……"

After listening to You Fang's explanation, several people nodded, feeling a sense of "sudden understanding"...

At the same time, they all had their own experiences with the two clues of this puzzle, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the wisdom of the strong minds of the ancient predecessors.

After sighing, Hong Bin suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and then squinted his eyes and asked: "But Lao You, who is your master? Not only does he know such a strange place, but he also Knowing the mystery involved, he could be... the person who came later, right?"

"Haha, of course that's not the case. He was just lucky enough to have entered here and learned about the riddles here." You Fang shook his head and did not elaborate further.

then……

"Okay, now that the mystery has been solved, let's go down and see what's down here!" You Fang waved his hand and took the lead without stopping any longer.

When the other people saw this, they all followed suit. Since it was pitch dark below, Hong Bin raised his hands and raised two golden fires for lighting.

Soon, a group of five people all descended into the dark cave and continued down the stairs. Then they discovered that there was actually a spiral stone staircase below.

"Good guy, it's quite deep down here!" Hong Bin stretched out his head and looked down. Then with a thought, he threw a ball of fire down. As the flames met, several people could see clearly. The depth below this.

"From the looks of it, it's probably about a hundred meters deep. It's really deep." You Fang estimated and then said with a smile, "It's normal for a treasure to be hidden deep."

So, the few of them quickened their pace and walked down. In a short while, they reached the end of the stone stairs.

"Huh? That's..."

As soon as they walked down the stairs, everyone was stunned because they saw a square door on the stone wall directly opposite them, which was obviously the "treasure room".

However, directly above the door, someone carved four big characters, which also contained profound meanings, which was - "The human body is rare"!

"The human body is rare... This seems to be a Buddhist term, right?" Seeing these four words, Xia Mingyu, who has a lot of research on faith, immediately said, "But isn't 'Zhenren Ziyang' a member of the Taoist sect?"

"Buddhist terminology?" Hong Bin's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he looked at Xia Mingyu curiously, "Then let's not care about Buddhism or Taoism. Lao Xia, please tell me, these four words are What's the meaning?"

"Um……"

Xia Mingyu nodded, then thought for a while, and then spoke slowly: "In Buddhism, the sentence 'human life is rare' has a second half, which is - 'Buddhism smells bad'."

"In Buddhist thought, only 'human beings' among the six paths can practice Buddhism. This is why the legendary monsters will cultivate the 'human body', but the 'human body' here does not refer to a simple 'Human body', but 'human body'!"

"As for what it means to be 'full of leisure', it is actually very simple, that is, 'at least having the basic living conditions, being able to hear the Dharma, and having the time and conditions to practice the Dharma.' This is already extremely rare among people in the world. And precious.”

"In "Za Agama Sutra 442", the Buddha compared the boundless soil of the earth with the trace amount of soil between fingernails to illustrate the rarity of the 'human body', but in fact it is a kind of 'external conditions' and The 'Buddhist Cultivation Standard' formed by the combination of 'internal conditions' shows that only under these conditions can Buddhist practice be possible."

"I see, that's how it is said..." Hong Bin nodded and asked strangely, "Then why does this Buddhist language appear here? Could it be that the latecomer is a Buddhist?"

"It's not like that. The charm between the strokes of these four characters is exactly the same as those of the ravines. They should be written by the same person." You Fang shook his head at this time, "Besides, when you cultivate to the deepest level, thousands of avenues will be Different paths lead to the same destination, and these four words are not only applicable to Buddhism, but also apply to Taoism."

"Hmm...that's true."

Hearing this, Hong Bin nodded and walked over without any further entanglement.

Seeing his impatience, the others hurriedly followed, and the five of them walked into the door in a hurry.

"Ok?"

However, as soon as they entered the door, everyone noticed something was wrong. Hong Bin opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Why is there still nothing???"

That's right, there is nothing else in this small circular stone room except a rectangular stone platform the size of a person.

"No, there's something!"

At this time, You Fang stared at the stone wall opposite, and at the same time motioned to Hong Bin to light a fire in the middle of the stone room.

Then, by the light of the fire, several people quickly saw the surrounding situation clearly. They saw that the stone wall of the circular stone chamber was not empty, but had many words carved on it.

"This is……"

However, when a few people took a closer look, they immediately frowned again, because most of the words on the stone walls had been erased, and they could not clearly see what they were originally.

Fortunately, after some exploration, they finally found a few fragments of words in a corner that had not been completely erased, and through the contents, they quickly determined the owner of these engraved words!

"This Dharma is true, wonderful, and even truer, all because I am unique and different from others.

Knowing that the ups and downs are due to the departure of obstacles, who knows the ups and downs determine the guest.
