Chapter 1364: I do possess a strange treasure

~8 min read 1,532 words

"You are not me, you can't do it. Your state of mind has not reached it, and inner demons are growing. Brother Wang, I am worried about your future."

Chen Guanlou showed a heavy look, very worried.

"Now you urgently need medicinal pills to control your inner demons. If you need them, just speak up. I will take a trip to the Yuquan Palace for you."

As brothers from different fathers and mothers, he must certainly think for his brother.

Wang Hai was very moved at this moment.

"That's right, my inner demons are growing. Recently, I often wake up from nightmares. However, I still have to hold my post and continue to serve. Monitoring you is also one of my duties. But don't worry, I have never said anything unfavorable to you, on the contrary, I have mediated for you many times."

"I naturally trust you! Brother Wang, I toast you."

Chen Guanlou raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, he started chatting, which was also probing, "Tell me, what is their intention in asking you to monitor me? I don't have anything worth exploring on me."

"Everyone in the world says that Brother Chen possesses a strange treasure, which is why you have been able to advance so much in martial arts in just a few years. What I am watching is your possession of a strange treasure."

"I really don't possess a strange treasure." Chen Guanlou spread his hands, very open and honest, "If you really want to say I have any strange treasure, it is that my state of mind cultivation is far higher than my martial arts cultivation."

Oh!

Wang Hai immediately became interested.

"How so?"

Chen Guanlou pretended to be profound. Next, he was going to start serious nonsense, talking about this and that in a serious manner, seemingly promoting his philosophy in a plausible way.

"In the early stages, when you are at the first, second, or third rank, perhaps everyone doesn't feel it clearly. The higher you go, every improvement, every breakthrough, is less like a node reached by martial arts cultivation, and more like a node reached by state of mind cultivation, so it is a matter of course and a smooth breakthrough.

Under normal circumstances, martial arts cultivation is enough, but state of mind cultivation is insufficient, and the bottleneck we often talk about will appear! When a bottleneck appears, is it because you are not diligent enough in practicing martial arts, because your understanding is not in place, because your resources are not piled up enough, or because you haven't taken enough medicinal pills? None of these!

It is because your state of mind has not reached it, you don't know how to walk the path ahead, and how to cross the bumps, so you develop a bottleneck, practicing martial arts every day but making no progress.

The so-called understanding, the so-called 'hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening', is essentially state of mind cultivation. You saw it, you remembered it, you understood it, your thoughts, your concepts, your body, your whole person have sublimated, and your state of mind has reached it. Promotion is a matter of course.

You are anxious because although you have seen and remembered, your mind is unstable, and you have not understood the meaning. Seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing water as water, this is an ordinary person. Seeing a mountain not as a mountain, seeing water not as water, this is a higher realm. Seeing a mountain like water, seeing water like a mountain, mountains and waters are in the distance, close at hand, in the heart, and this is another state of mind.

Our so-called 'enlightenment' is not drilling into the tip of a bull's horn, not hitting the south wall, but understanding the Heavenly Dao, understanding the Human Dao, understanding the changes of the four seasons, understanding the vastness of heaven and earth, the changes of natural seasons and weather, understanding flowers, understanding grass, understanding the human heart, understanding human nature!

Seeing through everything, understanding everything, explaining the operation of all things with the Dao you understand, then all problems will no longer bother you. Promoting to the Grandmaster realm is nothing more than a matter of time."

At this moment, Wang Hai was deeply shocked.

At this moment, he seemed to see a circle of golden light flashing above Chen Guanlou's head.

No one had ever explained to him in such detail what state of mind is, what understanding is, and what the natural course of cultivation is.

In the past, everyone only talked about the result: you have to learn to understand, you have to take it slowly and not be anxious... but they didn't tell him how to do this process specifically to achieve the result and understand the essence of martial arts. They only talked about understanding, but didn't tell him how to understand. They only talked about taking it slowly and not being anxious, but didn't say what to do to take it slowly and not be anxious.

This is like parents educating their children: you have to study hard and grow up to make money! But they don't tell the child how to study hard and how to make money!

For the first time, he had a clear understanding of these contents, as if he had a clear theoretical basis.

These words can be called enlightening and deafening.

"Brother Chen, I..." For a moment, he was incoherent with excitement; he really wanted to express the excitement, gratitude, and worship in his heart. However, at this moment, language was so pale. Pale to the point that he felt no language could express his mood at this moment.

He could only hold the other party's hand tightly, tears in his eyes, like a little fan, his eyes hot and crazy.

Chen Guanlou was grimacing in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he shook off the other party's hands without a trace.

"Brother Wang, don't be too excited. We are brothers; if you have any questions, just ask me. I will do my best to clear up your confusion."

"Thank you, Brother Chen! You are both a teacher and a friend to me. I will keep this friendship in my heart and never forget it." Wang Hai excitedly held Chen Guanlou's hand again.

Chen Guanlou:...

People these days are good at everything, but the habit of physical contact at every turn is not very good.

He really is not used to being held tightly by a eunuch.

So he broke free again without a trace.

"Brother Wang, drink some tea and calm down."

Wang Hai drank two large cups of tea and finally calmed down.

"So this is Brother Chen's strange treasure; it is indeed a treasure. No wonder Brother Chen advances so fast. Don't worry, I will convey your words truthfully and let them dispel unnecessary thoughts."

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for clarifying for me." Chen Guanlou poured another glass of wine.

"Since Brother Chen has such state of mind cultivation, I think breaking through to Grandmaster is only a matter of time. I don't know when I can drink Brother Chen's wedding wine; by then, I will prepare a big gift to congratulate Brother Chen on being promoted to Grandmaster."

"Martial arts cultivation is insufficient and needs to be polished carefully. No rush, no rush!" Chen Guanlou brushed it off and changed the subject.

Wang Hai's heart was still surging, a bit impatient, needing a quiet environment to ponder those words repeatedly.

He proposed to leave.

Chen Guanlou didn't keep him much, only asking, "Do you need me to buy medicinal pills for you?"

"Not for the time being. I will return to the palace to report, and I will find Brother Chen to drink next time."

"Easy to say!"

Chen Guanlou sent the person out of the door and watched the other party go away.

Hopefully, a bit of plausible nonsense can move Eunuch Wei and make him put down his probing gaze.

This Wang Hai is also quite interesting, coaxing both sides, cheating both sides, and taking advantage in the middle. He doesn't care, but he doesn't know how long Eunuch Wei can tolerate Wang Hai.

Be careful of playing with fire and burning yourself.

Wang Hai returned to the palace, pondered carefully for a while, and then changed his clothes to meet Eunuch Wei in the Copper Building.

He waited in the small Buddha hall for a long time before seeing Eunuch Wei rush over, with a thin layer of sweat on his face. There was also a faint smell of blood on his body.

Wang Hai sniffed carefully without a trace; it was the smell of human blood.

His heart was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt down to greet him, burying his head to avoid his eyes revealing his thoughts and being caught by the handle!

"Reporting to Eunuch, I have finally discovered what the strange treasure possessed by Chen Guanlou is."

"Oh! Really? What kind of treasure is it?" Eunuch Wei immediately became eager! ===== CHAPTER 1365 =====
