Time seems to have completely lost its meaning.Memories intertwine in a very messy manner.Around Trinity Hutong, Dongcheng Invincible mobilized a large number of elites to completely control the nearby area, and Xuanyuan Wuxian and Huangfu Qiushui were guarded outside the door.The small building was quiet, and as soon as the door closed, the whole world seemed to be completely cut off.At first, everything seemed normal.The only thing that feels awkward may be that Li Tianlan is very unfamiliar with his state.Because he had a problem.In the more than 20 years of his life, he has endured hardships and sins, but difficulties, especially in improving his strength, do not seem to have passed.Retreat, meditation, or something, there are some things in it that Li Tianlan has not experienced.While others improve their physical strength, they will also meditate for a specific time to make their will more focused, so that their strength can be fully exerted, and all their strength is improved in this kind of stillness and movement.If you are stuck in the bottleneck of the breakthrough, then you need to be quiet for a long time, determine your own concept and understanding of martial arts in the most focused thinking, try again and again, move forward cautiously, and finally complete the breakthrough.This process is relatively long, and this is known as a retreat.Li Tianlan knew this, but he had always felt that this approach sounded hypocritical.Strength requires a focused will, and he agrees.But it is a bit too much to prepare a meditation room that is not disturbed, focused on thinking, or even a special retreat.At least in Li Tianlan's case, it's excessive.When can't you meditate?
It's nothing more than to let your attention be completely focused, how difficult can this kind of thing be?
I have to make a sense of ceremony.Eat, drink, bathe, go to the toilet, just take some time and do it.As for thinking about martial arts, temptation, and careful retreat, do you still need to think about this thing?
If you even need to think about this, what did you do in the first place?
The martial artist strengthens his body, strengthens his will, and opens the door to the four realms of martial arts, and from that moment on, it can be regarded as the beginning of officially entering the martial arts.The so-called understanding and belief in martial arts is something that should have been confirmed at that time, and perhaps at the beginning, because of the limited scenery I saw, or because I didn't have enough knowledge, my belief and understanding would also be lacking.But it's normal to be missing, and it's not right to have a deviation, that's the core thing, the belief that has been determined from the starting position.Walking forward on the road of martial arts with this belief, you will see more and more scenery, and it will become more and more exciting, and this process is also a process of making up for the part of your belief that is missing.This is an unshakable foundation.On this foundation, as the strength gets stronger and stronger, it gradually expands into new things, which is the most normal thing.In Li Tianlan's eyes, martial arts is a tree.The moment you officially set foot on the martial arts, the belief in your heart is the root, as long as you take root in the heel, then the growth of the tree is a natural thing, which is in line with the law and is the most correct logic.But the funny thing is that most people set foot on the martial arts at the beginning, but they don't have a clear concept in their hearts, or they have a vague concept, but because the pattern is not enough, it leads to cowardice in the martial arts, or some other reason.The more wasteful people are, the more they like the so-called sense of ritual, which is a kind of mental suggestion and self-hypnosis that makes everyone think that something is important, although Li Tianlan does not need this, he can roughly understand this psychological state that requires a sense of ritual, and understands the importance of the so-called retreat.It's really important.It's just that in the realm of martial arts, when some people start to retreat and prepare to break through the realm, carefully think about martial arts in deep meditation, and reshape their understanding of martial arts, they are equivalent to digging up the tree they planted in their hearts and planting a flower.Every time they break through, they are equivalent to digging out what they already have, planting other things, and the foundation fundamentally begins to shake, and there may not be any problems in the short term, but it has limited their end point, so their breakthrough will become more and more difficult, and as they get older, the decline in state is getting faster and faster.Li Tianlan has never encountered this kind of problem, for him, meditation is simply to make himself more focused, he can enter a meditative state at any time except when he is on Qin Weibai's body.The bottleneck or something also does not exist, since he first entered the Imperial Qi Realm, his martial arts have become extremely clear, even if he is confused with the subsequent improvement, it is not the confusion of the martial arts, but some unreasonable confusion about the four realms of the martial arts.He has always been moving forward at his own pace and direction, the four realms of martial arts are just signposts one by one, and when he finds that he can go to the end without road signs, the so-called realm becomes unimportant.And now, back in Youzhou, he locked himself in this small building, which can be said to be the first retreat in his life.But the problem was that he didn't know how to do that retreat.Retreat requires thinking.Others retreat after careful contemplation at the existing height.But Li Tianlan's retreat is to stand at the highest point and look down, he has obtained a certain ability, but he doesn't know how he got it, there is no clear beginning, he doesn't know the cause of everything, there is no clear process, what he gets is what he gets, and the key is that he can't use it if he gets it.Li Tianlan's whole mind was chaotic.A new ability stands at the height of the end, but it does not know the cause, let alone the right direction of this ability.And according to Xuanyuan Wuxian's statement, there are not just one, but two new abilities.This makes everything start to get messy.If there is a choice, Li Tianlan would rather give up all the heights now, go forward from the very beginning, step by step, when he really reaches a certain point, the whole new road appears in front of him, just like martial arts, he establishes his own beliefs, chooses the direction, makes the initial understanding, and then goes higher and higher, without any confusion and confusion.But in fact, he had no choice at all.He gained abilities that were difficult for him to use, and then discovered a new path, but so far, he could not find the belief and direction on this path, let alone a concrete understanding, only an extremely hazy feeling telling him that the path was there, waiting for him to go up.Li Tianlan felt that he needed time to think slowly and unravel all the secrets on this road little by little.So he went on his first retreat that he had previously felt was hypocritical.Empty his mind, let his mind focus, not think about power and martial arts, but study new paths, from the perspective of heaven and earth, from every angle of the world, he thought seriously, and then...
He fell asleep.It's meditating, meditating, falling asleep in the most focused state.Li Tianlan himself admires himself a little.Sleep needs to be relaxed, sleep in a state of concentration has no effect at all, but after waking up, he has a splitting headache, Li Tianlan can only fall asleep again after waking up.Well, there is a kind of posture that is wrong, and it means getting up and falling asleep again.So on the first day of his retreat, he slept like this.When he woke up the next day, the building was still quiet.Outside the building are people who care about him.He was in the building, no one told him to eat, no one called him to get up, he was here alone, he could do whatever he wanted.He began to study the sword that had flown from the continent.It is said that it is a sword, but in fact, its existence form is extremely abstract, or even has no concrete form at all, and most of the time, it likes to exist in a form similar to a pattern, like a constantly twisting, transparent air ripple.This sword is called the truth.This was not the name Li Tianlan gave him, but when this sword fell into his hands, he knew that the truth was its name.Its thinking consciousness is extremely vague, or from another point of view, it should be very high-end, Li Tianlan can't understand it, but he can be sure that it is alive.It's like Qin Weibai is his woman, a woman who belongs to him, but she is called Qin Weibai, at most Li Qin Weibai.The sword also belonged to him, but it had its own name.Li Tianlan was troubled that he did not have a suitable entry point to enter the real retreat, and at present, it seems that the only reliable clue seems to be this sword.At least the existence of the truth is much more reliable than what the heavens and the earth and the world seem.He began to ponder the meaning of the truth.Because he can feel this power, the word truth, here it is no longer a one-sided objective fact, but a truly incredible force.When it flies in front of itself across distant mountains and seas...
Li Tianlan thought about the feeling at that moment, that kind of power does not belong to pure destructive power, but it can contain everything, the truth at that moment is like a murderous soldier, and it is a murderous soldier with complete energy accumulation.He reversed time with a fierce soldier full of energy, the energy was consumed, a miracle appeared out of thin air, and everything in the world was active in his perception in an extremely clear gesture.That was the ability that Li Tianlan had discovered.It is also the power of truth.So what does the word truth mean in that incident?
First of all, the city was ruined and reduced to pure ruins.From the perspective of the so-called truth, that city is no longer in a state where it does not exist, and the power of truth reverses time, making time go back to the night before, no, not a reversal, the so-called reversal, if it is just a time reversal, then the time of Middle-earth and Annam is not the same now.But in fact, the two sides are now completely on the same time.Therefore, it should be said that the truth made the time point of the night before cover the time point of the time, so it was confined to one city, and 'last night' became 'today'. ’It doesn't seem quite right.Truth, time, ruins.According to normal logic, when time resets for some reason and the ruins become cities again, then both time and new cities should be fake.But what is false has now become real.In other words, the truth turns the false into the true.So is the false truth the truth or not?
No, when the false is really real, then the falsehood that is re-presented and does not appear in any way, is it false or true?
Li Tianlan kept thinking, he felt that his thinking was a little messy, and his head began to hurt again, and it hurt again and again, almost tearing his brain.Vaguely, he seemed to be able to feel that his mind had become active again, to the extent that he could feel the consciousness of all things in heaven and earth.He grasped the truth in his hand and slumped into the bed in a somewhat strange position.He felt like he was still thinking.His mind hovered at that supreme level, contemplating possibilities.He felt that he was thinking more and more, he felt that he was gradually starting to solve the problem, he felt that he was inspired, he...
His eyes were getting hazy.His eyelids began to tremble.His gaze began to drift.His eyes closed and he snored.Everything around seemed to be spinning, slightly, softly.Li Tianlan reopened his eyes.Heaven and earth are divided up and down.The world is divided around.I shake it up and down.Left and right are rotating.With a soothing frequency, with a sense of ease and comfort that seems to come from the soul.There is a gentle wind blowing from the opposite side, blowing every end of the hair, brushing the face, with a fresh smell, natural and soft.Li Tianlan opened his eyes and saw an incomparably pure white mist.The fog is not thick, with just the right amount of haze, rendering everything in sight.He stood on an empty grassland, surrounded by a quiet, clear mirror-like lake, with the mist between heaven and earth reflected on the water, and the sky was clear, but not blue, but reddish, looking a somewhat mysterious color.The air seemed to be moving, and so was the whole sky, like a red sea.Li Tianlan's distance is a continuous mountain range, ice and fire on the mountain is extremely harmonious fusion, some peaks are lush and green, while some peaks are spraying magma from the top of the mountain at this time, the red torrent is surging, with billowing black smoke, the entire mountain peak burns a piece of red, the temperature seems to have lost its meaning, because on both sides of the volcano, a huge iceberg and snow mountain are standing quietly, white and some holy snow and cold ice, reflecting a very charming brilliance in the burning torrent.Li Tianlan's gaze looked in a farther direction.The earth appeared in a clear arc, and the arc continued upward along a subtle angle, rolling almost to cover the sky, and at such an angle that the distant peaks of the mountains had almost flipped over, and the tops of the mountains were all aimed at the ground.There are also volcanic eruptions in those peaks, but the magma that erupts from the passes is not upward, but pours down towards the ground.There was no sound around.Everything is silent.Quiet, beautiful, absurd, quiet.Everything in sight is only plants, without any biological breath, primitive and ancient.Li Tianlan quietly watched the shocking scenes staged quietly.Sound travels through the air.Where there is no air, there will be no sound.But the wind is real.Li Tianlan didn't know the truth of this, and could only think very subjectively that this was the air slowly appearing, but it had not yet reached the point where it could accommodate sound.As for whether this is the case or not, there is no point in pursuing it.Because he knows very well that everything he has experienced and seen is a dream.In other words...
On the second day of the retreat, while trying to seriously think about finding a way, I fell asleep again.
