Chapter 1283 Confidence and Hope

Realizing that he might have bumped into a legendary figure in the history of martial arts in this world - Qing Cang, who had never shown his true face, Xu Yi was excited, but also felt a faint worry in his heart.

He was afraid that the so-called principles told by Qing Cangwen were all common sense of cultivation that was thought-provoking a thousand years ago and would be known to the world a thousand years later. If this was true, he would be so disappointed.

Suppressing the slight ups and downs in his heart, Xu Yi read all the way. He read very slowly. It took him two full hours to read all the nearly 10,000 words on the four walls.

His heart was heavy and he didn't know what it was like. Unfortunately, Qingcang's questioning did not solve the dilemma he was currently facing.

Just as he feared, most of the so-called Qing Cang Questions would seem too naive and simple to him a thousand years later.

Of course, Xu Yi would not deny the two great sages because of this, but in his heart he admired the genius of these two people.

Only because the arguments of the two men were profound and accurate, even some conjectures that were obviously ahead of their time have been completely proven to be correct today.

But he said that although Xu Yi was disappointed with Qingcang, he did not gain nothing.

Especially the last pair in Qing Cang Wen's pairing is the discussion between the two philosophers about reality and reality.

It talks about the relationship between virtual objects such as Lingtai Qihai and real objects such as the internal organs, meridians and head.

The questions they asked were very targeted, and some aspects also opened up Xu Yi's mind. Among them, the two points Cang Shu answered particularly impressed Xu Yi.

First, Cang Shu believes that the human body itself is a complete living body with an orderly combination of virtuality and reality, yin and yang. The so-called Qihailingtai is a natural existence. It's not that the spiritual platform is created because one has comprehended the ghost, nor is it that the sea of ​​qi is created because one breaks through the dantian. The spiritual platform and the sea of ​​​​qi do not change due to the practice itself, but because the monk's practice makes the spiritual platform and the sea of ​​​​qi easy for the monks to perceive.

Secondly, the two major virtual weapons, Qihai and Lingtai, rely on the flesh and blood body to exist, but also exist independently of the flesh and blood body. It is said that the reliance is because the soul of life and death is destroyed, and the seven souls are scattered and the sea of ​​​​Qi of the Lingtai is naturally annihilated. It is said that it is independent of the Lingtai Qihai because the existence of these two is not destroyed by physical damage.

Among them, Qingsongzi was skeptical about the second point, while Cangshu gave an interesting example when retorting.

Cang Shu gave an example, if a person's ghost is severely injured, will his spiritual platform become crumbling due to the damage of his ghost?

If a person is seriously injured and the seven souls are about to die, will his Qi sea collapse at any time before the seven souls are destroyed?

Qingsongzi remained silent and unable to answer.

The five words "Silent and unable to answer" are the original words in the notes of the old man Shanyang, which are very concise. Apparently the old man Shanyang believed that Qingsongzi was also impressed by Cang Shu's wonderful answer.

All in all, although he didn't get what he wanted, Xu Yi had a very high evaluation of the entire Qing Cang Question.

Not only is the entire Qingcang Question and Answer full of prudent speculation and shining with the light of wisdom, but more importantly, the discussions and predictions in the entire Question and Answer have been almost confirmed, demonstrating the astonishing wisdom of the two sages beyond the times.

There is only one point that Xu Yi believes that sages such as these two sages have also made mistakes, and that is the second point of Cang Shu's discussion about the sea of ​​​​qi, believing that the sea of ​​​​qi will not collapse on its own before the death of the seven souls.

This is an obvious mistake.

Because he himself is living evidence to refute this point. Apart from him, how many people in the entire cultivation world have been destroyed by their enemies and their cultivation has ceased are all clear proofs.

When the thought came to this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Xu Yi's mind. He slapped his thigh heavily and blurted out: "That may not be the case!"

He suddenly realized that there was a fatal blind spot in his thinking.

This blind spot is that today's world of cultivation is filled with a large number of monks whose Qi sea has been destroyed. Is it possible that there were no Qi sea realm monks in Cang Shu's era?

The Qihai realm is not a soul-sensing realm, but an extremely basic realm for cultivation. Even though Cang Shu was in an older era and the cultivation resources were more desolate, it can still be speculated whether there were a large number of Qihai realms at that time. of.

This point was reflected in the conversation between the two and in the notes of the old man Shanyang.

From the classics and texts of Old Man Shanyang, the cultivation achievements and methods of the Condensed Liquid Realm and the Soul Sensing Realm have been discussed intensively. In turn, it also proves that the Qi Sea Realm was extremely common even in Cang Shu's era.

In this case, how could Cang Shu not know that there are people in the world whose Qi Sea has been destroyed and their cultivation has been abolished? If Cang Shu knew it, why would he make such remarks?

Based on the prudence and rigor shown by Cang Shu throughout the interview, Xu Yi never believed that Cang Shu would not pay attention to the abundant empirical evidence in the world.

Even if Cang Shu was really negligent, why didn't Qing Songzi refute him? Could it be that Qing Songzi also neglected this issue at the same time?

Obviously this is impossible!

Xu Yi couldn't help but tremble all over as he continued to speculate along this line of thought.

He even couldn't help but make a bold guess. When what the world calls the sea of ​​​​qi is destroyed and the practice is terminated, it may not be the sea of ​​​​qi that is destroyed, but the channel connecting the physical body and the sea of ​​​​qi.

Just like Cang Shu asked about the passage bridge connecting the real and virtual weapons, Xu Yi may have been destroyed not by the sea of ​​qi, but by the passage bridge.

Without this passage bridge, he could not sense the existence of the sea of ​​​​qi, and naturally could not control the true evil in the sea of ​​​​qi, so he thought that the sea of ​​​​qi was destroyed.

This point is extremely similar to the idealism of "if I don't perceive it, it doesn't exist."

Xu Yi also imagined that if the sea of ​​​​qi was really destroyed, why the mighty sea-like Zhensha did not explode.

When the boundless true evil of fire exploded, it was impossible for him to still be alive.

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Yi felt that Qing Cangwen's guess about Zhong was extremely feasible.

Judging from the fact that Qing Cangwen's judgments and predictions about the two sages were proven correct by subsequent facts, Xu Yi's confidence increased a bit.

He thought to himself: If only the passage bridge was destroyed, I believe that the difficulty of repairing it would be much lower than repairing the Qi Sea.

With this thought in mind, he reflected: Blind spots in thinking often arise from blind obedience, which clearly equates "everyone in the world thinks this way" with "the facts must be like this."

By extension, in the whole world, there are not only two smart people, Cang Shu and Qing Songzi. In the vast northern Holy Palace, there must be other strange people who have seen through the key, maybe there are some. It is also unknown whether the family has inherited the path to repair the Qi sea.

Xu Yi gained nothing from this trip to the ancient tomb of Shanyang Old Man, but only gained confidence and hope.

Compared with the rest, these two points seemed particularly precious and valuable to him at the moment.
