Chapter 72 Hesitation

After bidding farewell to Yun Tianlan and others, Tang Jie and his wife began to travel around the ancient continent.

Cultivation not only cultivates spiritual energy, but also improves the state of mind. The prehistoric continent is vast and rich in land and resources, and it is the perfect time to expand your horizons and experience.

This is also a process that many cultivators must go through before becoming immortals. They see all kinds of life in the world of mortals. Only by seeing all the conditions of the world can they see through the conditions of the world and become immortals.

If Tang Jie wants to become a fairy, he must first experience life, and this threshold is indispensable.

The couple took Yiyi along like this, traveling all the way and living a happy life.

For Tang Jie, his ambition from the beginning was to be free and at ease. To a certain extent, he has actually achieved this goal. With his current strength, no one would dare to offend him, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to offend him. There are piles of immortal platforms in the King's Court of All Realms. That's because all the immortal platforms in the prehistoric continent have come here. After leaving the royal court, those earthly immortals scattered across the entire continent, and not even a splash was seen.

When Tang Jie realized this, he suddenly felt confused and doubted whether it was meaningful to continue to attack like this.

Once this doubt arises, it will linger in my heart.

Tang Jie knew that this was the so-called barrier of knowledge and vision.

Whenever your cultivation reaches a certain level, if you have knots in your heart, you will easily become cognitively confused and confused. This is the result of the inconsistency between strength and state of mind, and it is also one of the thresholds you face when trying to reach Sendai.

Obstacles in knowledge and vision cannot be ignored, nor can they be forcibly reversed. They can only be gradually changed over time, correcting cognition bit by bit, and understanding the world and yourself from a new and higher perspective.

So Tang Jie was not in a hurry, and just swam all the way to enjoy this free life.

They traveled around, and unlike in the past they stayed in seclusion, this time they made friends wherever they went. Everywhere he went, he would meet some local practitioners and talk about scriptures and Taoism.

On this day, Tang Jie came to a city. After staying, Tang Jie held up a Taoist book and read it under the lamp.

His reading was different from others. The lamp used was a precious eight-treasure glazed lamp. The light did not spread out in all directions, but only illuminated a corner of the page. It moved with Tang Jie's gaze without revealing any trace of the treasure. gas.

Tang Jie sat there and watched quietly,

After a while, I suddenly heard a strange sound outside.

Listen carefully, someone is actually preaching.

Tang Jie pushed the door open and went out, and saw an old man in the courtyard next door holding a book and shaking his head and saying: "The way of heaven is to be virtuous, to strive for self-improvement, to follow the will of God, to follow the right path, and not to violate one heart... …”

There are a group of children sitting below who are listening carefully.

Tang Jie also found a place to sit down and listened to the old man's sermon, and he listened with great interest.

After a while, the old man put down the book and said, "That's all for today's class. You can leave now."

The group of children yelled together and dispersed.

The old man was packing his things. When he saw Tang Jie, he smiled and said, "Where does this gentleman come from?"

Tang Jie responded: "Coming from next door, I heard a gentleman giving lectures, preaching and solving doubts. I felt happy for a moment, so I came uninvited. Please don't be surprised if I ask you sir."

The old man then smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, I'm just an old man with little knowledge and rough knowledge. Just don't taint your ears, sir."

Tang Jie replied: "You're welcome, sir. I listened to the old gentleman's lectures and I have quite a unique view on the Zodiac. I happen to have some opinions. I would like to discuss it with the old gentleman."

"Oh?" The old man became interested and said, "I'd like to listen to it."

Tang Jie sat on the floor with the old man and started discussing.

This chat lasted all night. The two of them had so much fun talking about Taoism that they completely forgot about the time.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the old man patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost missed the time. Forgive me, little friend, I still have to do it first."

Tang Jie said: "Old sir, it's okay to go."

The old man held up his hands and retreated. At this moment, a ray of skylight shone on him, and he saw a long tail stretching out from behind him, swaying in all directions.

The old man hurriedly put away his tail, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself: "I almost got discovered, I'd better leave quickly."

As he spoke, he lay down on the ground and turned into a mouse, squeaking and crawling into a hole in the ground.

Tang Jie was still sitting there drinking tea in a leisurely manner, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

Xu Miaoran Shiran came over, sat down next to Tang Jie, smiled and joked: "It's a good thing that you have such leisure to spend the whole night chatting with a rat demon who is just a wise man."

The rat demon doesn't have a heavenly mind, and it relies on the art of transformation to change. However, the magic is hindered, and it will appear as soon as dawn, so it doesn't dare to come out during the day.

Tang Jie said calmly: "There is no distinction between human and demon when seeking the Tao, as long as you have a heart for the Tao."

"Huh?" Xu Miaoran poured a full cup of tea for Tang Jie: "Your mood seems to have changed recently."

Tang Jie responded: "Yes, how can it not change? At this stage of cultivation, the spiritual energy is overflowing and the soul is not increasing. To a certain extent, it is already the limit of cultivation. I think, a long time ago , the highest state of cultivation that people consider, may not be a true immortal, but an out-of-body experience. When your cultivation reaches this point, it is like reaching a peak in your life. You will find that there is no feasible way ahead, and your life will no longer have a goal. , the state of mind is naturally difficult to calm down. Ups and downs, swaying left and right are all common. "

Speaking of this, Tang Jie let out a long sigh and continued: "We are lucky and unfortunate. Now everyone knows that there is an immortal platform, and being out of the body is not the peak. At best, it can only be regarded as a small peak on the immortal road. But Even so, I can still feel the pain of having reached a dead end in my cultivation and having no way out... No matter how much I practice now, I won't get any more spiritual energy. In other words, it's useless."

When he said this, his voice was low and gentle, and his tone was calm, but it carried an inexplicable sense of sadness.

Xu Miaoran looked at her husband blankly, somewhat understanding his mentality.

She leaned on her husband's shoulder: "According to you, the fate of us cultivators is to constantly find the end and then break the end? Isn't that an endless road back?"

"What do you think?" Tang Jie said with a smile: "To set foot on the immortal road is to embark on a road of no return. When there is a road ahead, you have to run as hard as you can. To become a spiritual platform, you have to escape from the world. If you want to reach the heart of heaven, if you become the heart of heaven, you must become the Purple Mansion, if you become the Purple Mansion, you must enter the Immortal Terrace, and become a true immortal, a golden immortal, or a saint. When you reach the highest peak, you will continue to sprint towards the sky... I don’t know how immortal it is. What was Emperor Yucheng's state of mind when he became a saint?"

"Maybe he was lonely at that time?" Xu Miaoran said leisurely.

"Lonely?" Tang Jie smiled slightly: "But not necessarily."

He raised his tea cup and took a sip: "There is no road ahead, so just open a way out... Those who can get to that point will not be lonely. They always have their own plans and know what they are doing. What to do and how to do it.”

Xu Miaoran opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Jie. She seemed to feel something from Tang Jie's mouth, but she couldn't figure out what Tang Jie meant.

Seeing her like this, Tang Jie smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't worry about it."

"You didn't just talk casually." Xu Miaoran said, "What do you seem to be worried about?"

Looking at his wife's concerned eyes, Tang Jie finally admitted defeat: "Okay, I'll tell you, there's just one thing I'm not sure about."

"What's the matter?"

After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "There are nine levels of checkpoints in the Secret Realm of the Soldier Master, and each level leaves secret treasures for future generations. The last level can only be obtained during the out-of-body period."

Xu Miaoran was startled: "Then you can retrieve the treasure now, aren't you?"

Tang Jie nodded.

"Then why don't you go..." Xu Miaoran stopped before she could finish her words.

She understood why Tang Jie didn't go to get the treasure.

That was a trace of doubt that arose when he was in the royal court, and it shook Tang Jie.

If everything is as originally feared, then what is left in this final level may not be a treasure, but some kind of terrible trap.

Tang Jie didn't know, but he did hesitate at that moment.

This is why he said, "People who can get to that point will never be lonely. They always have their own plans, know what they are doing, what they are facing, and how to do it."

Characters such as the Immortal Emperor and the Military Master are heroes among men and heroes among immortals. They are unparalleled in the world. Every move they make has a deep meaning that cannot be ignored.

Who can be sure that what Tang Jie saw in the military review was real?

Maybe that's just an illusion deliberately created by the military leader in the military review!

Don't forget that the soldier master is also good at illusions, and his copying technique is a typical example.

A body cultivator is actually good at illusions, which is worth pondering in itself.

Moreover, the military master back then was unparalleled in the world with his ability in physical cultivation, and could destroy the royal court with one person. So why is it now increasingly difficult for Tang Jie's physical strength to be used? Although the War Emperor's Illustration is still powerful, it cannot support him in defeating Dharma cultivators of the same realm.

All of this seemed so inconsistent with the previous performance of the military leader that Tang Jie had to have doubts. He knew that there was a treasure left by the military leader in the secret realm that he had not yet taken, but he did not go there.

It can be seen that his mood is contradictory.

This conflict is not only about whether you want a treasure or not, but also about whether you continue to trust the war master.

Although Tang Jie had never met the soldier master, it was undeniable that he had been deeply tied to the soldier master in his past life. In any case, he did not want things to develop like that.

Therefore, what Tang Jie was afraid of was not the trap, but the feeling of all trust and emotions being shattered behind the trap.

It is precisely because of this that he hesitates, he hesitates, he has cognitive impairment, and his mood is unstable, changing again and again. Even with the help of travel and getting used to life, I still can't figure out this mystery and untie this knot.

After understanding the key point that made Tang Jie depressed, Xu Miaoran also understood Tang Jie's thoughts.

She looked at Tang Jie with her pretty eyes: "If you always have to face it, why not face it as soon as possible? Isn't my husband always like this?"

"It's different this time." Tang Jie shook his head.

His tone had lost all its previous vigor.

Xu Miaoran knew that this was the result of his distracted state of mind after his spiritual energy was overflowing, his soul was solidified, and he could not make any progress. After thousands of years of practice, one day suddenly comes to a point where no progress can be made, the state of mind is lost, and coupled with worries, it is inevitable to feel hesitant.

However, Xu Miaoran believed that Tang Jie would definitely untie this knot and get out of his predicament.

Caressing Tang Jie's face, Xu Miaoran said: "No matter what, I will stay with you. Even if everyone in the world may lie to you and harm you, at least I will never lie to you."

Looking at Xu Miaoran's serious face, Tang Jie was also fascinated for a moment.
