I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 198: A Thought Entering a Trance
That night, a mighty sword force rose up into the sky in the school.

Li Changsheng in the school was the first to feel the sword intent. He turned into a stream of light and arrived at Xie Xuan's courtyard in an instant.

"Mr. Lee."

"Meet Mr. Li."

Li Changsheng looked at the two people who were saluting with a playful look on his face, and finally set his eyes on Xie Xuan, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, who is this girl?"

Seeing Li Changsheng's expression, Xie Xuan knew what he was thinking. A hint of speechlessness flashed in his eyes, and he introduced: "The daughter of the gambling king, Miss Yin Luoxia Yin, is a good friend of Brother Chu and is staying here temporarily."

"I see. I thought... Hehe, Xiao Ba is really lucky."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Luoxia's pretty face turned red, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She never expected that Mr. Li, a dignified academy teacher, would actually be such a disrespectful guy. The original tall image of Li Changsheng in her mind collapsed!

Li Changsheng didn't care what Yin Luoxia thought. He turned his head and looked towards a room with a closed door. His eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and saw a young man sitting cross-legged inside the room.

"As expected of my disciple, Li Changsheng. This talent... is truly amazing!"

"Mr. Li, has Brother Chu made a breakthrough?"

"almost."

At the same time, in Baipin Pavilion.

Five figures jumped out of the room, stepped on the high roof, and quickly came towards the school.

"Who is it?" A patrol captain shouted and led his team to chase after him.

A man in black waved his hand and knocked to the ground a group of patrol soldiers who had caught up with them. No one in the ten-man team survived.

As luck would have it, this scene was seen by a man who was eating supper on the street. He immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you run wild in Tianqi City!"

Before he could finish his words, a sword energy came towards him.

The man dodged, and the other party had no intention of fighting with him, so he just hit him and left.

He could feel that the other party was much stronger than himself, so he didn't dare to chase him. He had to hurried back to the Dali Temple office with the Dali Temple's special beheading knife.

Not long after, a sturdy man holding a beheading knife walked out of the Dali Temple, biting a chicken leg and cursing, followed by a dozen Dali Temple officials.

This person is the future Chief Justice of Dali Temple - Shen Xiduo.

Inside the palace, a middle-aged man with skin as white as cream and a white face without a beard sat in front of the chessboard and played chess with him. After he stretched out his hand and placed a piece, he suddenly looked towards the direction of the academy: "It seems that tonight will be lively again."

"Eunuch, the emperor has summoned you." A young eunuch came hurriedly.

"With Mr. Li here, he can't threaten Your Majesty, but it's difficult to kill him." Zhuoqing stood up, touched the agate ring in his hand, and followed the eunuch out the door.

Qin Tianjian.

The sage-like Imperial Master swung his whisk and said in amazement, "That little fellow's talent is really inhuman, even better than that of my junior brother!"

"Supervisor, His Majesty summons you."

Qi Tianchen hummed: "Tell His Majesty that I will be there soon."

Jingyu Palace.

Ye Dingzhi, who was originally chatting with Yi Wenjun, suddenly stood up.

Yi Wenjun looked confused: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Ye Dingzhi shook his head and sat down, but doubts arose in his heart.

Just now, his heart was beating violently, and he felt as if the sword energy in his body was being pulled by something and was completely out of his control. But when he felt it carefully, he did not feel that the sword energy was moving around.

Is it my misunderstanding?
Not far from the pavilion, Luo Qingyang, who was hugging a bamboo sword, looked at Ye Dingzhi with some surprise, then looked towards the direction of the academy, muttering: "Such a strong sword will, is it you? The ninth prince of Western Chu!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure came quietly and disappeared into the darkness.

Luo Qingyang bowed and called out in a low voice: "Master."

Yi Bu ignored his daughter and Ye Dingzhi who were laughing in the courtyard, and said quietly: "If I can't come back this time, Yingzong will be handed over to you. Protect her well."

Luo Qingyang hummed, "No one can hurt Junior Sister unless I die."

Thirty miles away from Tianqi City, there is Fanruo Temple.

The old monk Wangchou looked at the two people in front of him and sighed: "You shouldn't have come, especially Mr. Gu. Now that you've left, why bother coming back to wade into this mess again?"

Gu Chen, who revealed his true appearance, shook his head and said, "I don't want to come either, but if I don't come, I will feel uneasy and uneasy for the rest of my life."

Another person sneered, "You are not a monk from Beili, why do you care about Beili's affairs?"

"Amitabha, the Emperor of Beili has shown me kindness after all."

Wangchou chanted the Buddha's name and just called out "Zhao Dajian". Before he could finish his words, he felt a strong sword intent. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Tianqi City, wondering, "What is this?!"

"This sword intent... is your highness, hahahaha, your highness is about to enter a trance." Zhao Dajian laughed: "Old monk, do you want to go to our Xichu?"

Wangchou shook his head: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince does not believe in Buddhism, and there is no place for our Buddhists to survive in Western Chu."

Zhao Dajian was stunned: "Doesn't Beili believe in Buddhism too?"

"Different."

The old monk did not explain in detail what was different, and Zhao Dajian did not ask any more questions, but asked another question.

"You're not going to Apocalypse City?"

"What happens in the city is not my responsibility, I am only responsible for stopping people."

"So... Old monk, are you going to stop the two of us?"

He wanted to stop it, but he had to be able to stop it.

One is at the peak of Great Freedom, and the other is at a half-step Divine Wandering. Who else in Tianqi City can stop them except Li Changsheng and Xie Zhize? !

Wangchou smiled bitterly and chanted the Buddha's name softly: "Amitabha, the two donors can come and see for themselves."

"In that case, Master Wangchou, Ruxian and I will leave first. Please consider my proposal. My Highness still values ​​you and Wangchou very much."

After saying this, Zhao Dajian and Gu Chen left.

After a cup of tea.

Boom!

Thunder on the ground.

The thunder was unusually dull, completely different from ordinary thunder.

Because the thunder seems to be ringing in the heart rather than in the ears.

Chu Zhao, who was meditating in the house, felt as if he had jumped off a cliff. His body suddenly became lighter, and then seemed to float up. The scenery in front of him did not change at all.

The only difference was that he actually saw his own body!

To be precise, he felt light and weightless floating above his head and he could see his own body.

His breathing was weak and his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, or as if he had fainted.

"Is this the soul leaving the body and entering a trance?"

This thought arose in Chu Zhao's mind, and at the same time, a different emotion lingered in his heart. That feeling... was as if everything in the world was under his feet.

He looked around and saw everything was normal. He flipped through the book with his hands, but found that his soul could not turn the pages at all. It was obvious that the soul was just an invisible and intangible thought.

Looking again, there was no shadow under the lamp, as if it did not exist at all.

Intangible and qualityless.

However, if he remembered correctly, when Li Changsheng dispersed his power and entered a trance, he seemed to have traveled thousands of miles and played chess with Mo Yi in the fairy mountains overseas, and then he also went to see Luoshui.

"So... am I in a trance, or am I just dreaming?"

Chu Zhao was somewhat suspicious whether he was dreaming and fell asleep, because ever since he reached the peak of Half-Step Divine Wandering, this kind of thing would sometimes happen to him, where he would see his own body.

However, it is unconscious in dreams and only lasts for a moment, leaving no time for people to experience it. But now I think I can experience the feeling of letting my thoughts and soul jump out of my body.

This feeling is very mysterious, so mysterious that it is hard to believe.

Chu Zhao tried to pass through the wall and then walked out.

"Huh? He can actually pass through the wall. If I were to spy on him..."

Hearing this low whisper, Li Changsheng in the courtyard was stunned.

Oh, why didn’t I think of that before?
Li Changsheng thought so in his heart, but said: "As a master of divine travel, you actually want to do such a dirty thing. I despise you!"

"Old Man Li?"

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Am I really in a trance?"

"Are you in a trance and you don't know it?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

I know it, and I'm still asking you. Chu Zhao rolled his eyes and asked, "Then how do I get back to my body now?"

"If you want to go back, you can go back naturally. It only takes a thought."

Chu Zhao nodded: "I heard that in the Mysterious Realm of Spiritual Travel, one can travel thousands of miles with just one thought. Is that true?"

"good."

Hearing this, Chu Zhao suddenly felt homesick.

Then, he felt himself turning into a ball of light, like a meteor, flying rapidly towards Yuelu City.

It seemed like just a moment, and I arrived at my home in Yuelu City.

Yueyao, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Zhao looking at her and the two children beside him with tenderness.

Yueyao rubbed her eyes and asked listlessly, "When did you come back?"

"just came back."

Yueyao subconsciously went to hug Chu Zhao, but she found nothing, which made her stunned.

Chu Zhao smiled and was about to explain when he felt weak.

It's like a drowning person who can't swim falls into the vast ocean and may drown at any time.

Helpless and powerless!
It felt very uncomfortable and horrible.

At this moment, Chu Zhao had only one thought in his mind, and then he returned to his body.

"Take care of the kids, I'm leaving!"

After saying this with difficulty, his figure turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared on the spot.

Yueyao's sleepiness disappeared immediately and tears started to flow.

Such a scene made it hard for her not to think that her husband died in Apocalypse City, and his soul came to see her and the child before reincarnation.

Unspeakable grief suddenly filled my heart.

Originally, before this, the Beili army was heading south towards Yuelu City. She was still thinking about not letting Li Junxin and others take the initiative to provoke a war. Now... she had only one thought in her mind.

revenge!

In this way, she summoned the officials of Yuelu City overnight, assembled the army overnight, and launched an attack on the nearest Beili city.

A war for national restoration that lasted for five years started because of a misunderstanding.

Chu Zhao naturally didn't know all this. After his soul returned to his body, he just felt exhausted, not physically but mentally. It took him a long time to recover.

He opened the door and walked out, ready to ask Li Changsheng, but found that there were quite a few people standing in the courtyard.

Heaven beyond Heaven: No action, flying away.

Dark River: Mu Mingce, Su Muyu, and Mu Yumo.

There was also Zhao An, who was supposed to be in Yuelu City, and Gu Chen who had already left.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, for being able to enter a trance." Eunuch Zhao immediately bowed and congratulated him.

Chu Zhao nodded and asked, "Grand Eunuch, why are you here?"

"Your Highness, after you asked Qing'er and the others to return to Yuelu City, the princess was worried about you, so she asked me to rush to Tianqi. I happened to meet the Confucian Immortal on the way, so he came with me."

"Didn't you persuade Mr. Gu to come here?" Chu Zhao asked suspiciously.

"It has nothing to do with Eunuch Zhao. I made my own decision." Gu Chen took over the conversation and then congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for entering the trance."

"It was a fluke, just a fluke."

Chu Zhao smiled modestly, turned to look at Wu Zuoshi, Mu Mingce and others: "Are you injured?"

"On the way here, we ran into people sent by the Beili court. Fortunately, Mr. Li stepped forward and we were able to survive." Wuzuo replied.

The five of them were very strong, all of them were masters of the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, and among them he and Mu Mingce were even in the Great Free and Easy Realm.

Logically speaking, such a lineup can come and go freely in Apocalypse City.

Who would have thought that when they approached the school, they actually ran into the team sent by Xiao Chongjing.

These people are stronger than them. Except for the two thousand imperial guards surrounding the academy, all the others are masters of the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, and their numbers are far greater than theirs.

There were nearly twenty people, including an old monster who was half a step away from the state of wandering.

If Li Changsheng had not come forward in time, they would have died outside the school.

Chu Zhao nodded, clasped his fists and thanked Li Changsheng, "Thank you, Mr. Li. I have a question for you."

"explain."

Li Changsheng said this and raised his head to take a sip of wine.

"It is not an easy thing for the soul to leave the body and travel far away. There must be risks involved. Sir, do you know how big the risks are? Also, the time the soul stays outside and the distance it travels should be related to the strength of the soul. So how should the soul be cultivated?"

He could feel that if he had not returned to his body in time, he would have been dead by now.

"Soul... this name is more appropriate than Divine Mind." Li Changsheng smiled: "When the soul leaves the body, there are risks. After the soul leaves the body, it is equivalent to a ghost. Generally speaking, people cannot harm it, but the Yang power between heaven and earth can. As for how to cultivate it?"

Li Changsheng paused and uttered three words.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Li Changsheng hummed: "At least I have never heard of any method to cultivate the soul in the world. As your strength increases, the strength of your soul will naturally increase."

Chu Zhao nodded and began to think.

Li Changsheng has never heard of any method for cultivating the spirit and soul in the world, so probably there is no such method. However, judging from his words, the spirit and soul should be able to be nourished and strengthened with internal force.

As for how to guide the internal force to nourish and strengthen the soul... we still have to explore it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Li Changsheng ask: "Xiao Ba, how did you break through the realm of divine travel? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have entered the realm of divine travel so quickly."

How did you break through?
Chu Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "After talking with you today, I felt that I had already stepped into the Divine Wandering Profound Realm, so I wanted to make a breakthrough to the Divine Wandering Profound Realm. I thought I was going to fail, so I simply treated tonight's practice as a daily accumulation. Then I felt like I was falling off a cliff, and suddenly my soul left my body."

Li Changsheng nodded and said in sudden realization: "You actually achieved the state of 'no desire and no pursuit' pursued by Buddhists at the last moment. No wonder you were able to enter a trance with just one thought."

Having no desires and no pursuits is a spiritual pursuit of Buddhism, but it does not literally mean having no desires and pursuits.

In Buddhism, being desireless does not mean having no desires or pursuits at all, but rather means not being attached to sensory desires or pleasures, and not being attached to superficial phenomena.

Buddhism emphasizes non-attachment and non-dwelling, that is, not being attached to anything.

However, this does not mean doing nothing or running away.

On the contrary, Buddhism encourages people to know what to do and what not to do, and emphasizes maintaining a clear and free state during practice.

Practitioners need to break their obsessions through practice and achieve inner peace and freedom through practice.

Chu Zhao's mentality at that time was exactly in line with the state of mind of maintaining a clear and comfortable state during practice, and not being obsessed with breaking through the realm and having no desire or demand.

Why is it difficult to travel to a mysterious realm? In fact, the difficulty lies in the state of mind.

Of course, in addition to the state of mind, one's own strength is also very important.

Li Changsheng knew very well that Chu Zhao was actually lying.

Although Chu Zhao's state of mind could allow him to break through the state of the Mysterious Wandering God, Chu Zhao's true energy would definitely not allow him to do so.

Judging from the previous fights, although Chu Zhao’s internal strength is very pure, it is also very mixed.

However, the true energy in his body now is completely different from a few days ago.

It was obvious that Chu Zhao was definitely not just making a random attack as he said.

Li Changsheng guessed that Chu Zhao must have used some secret method to integrate the pure and complex internal force in his body into one and transform it into another new kind of true energy.

But Chu Zhao didn't say anything, so he didn't ask too much and just asked Gu Chen to go drink.

In fact, it was just as Li Changsheng guessed.

Chu Zhao was practicing the Heaven and Earth Crucible Sutra, melting the Taoist Qi, sword Qi, demonic Qi and other internal forces he had cultivated in his early years into one.

Originally, he wanted to melt these true qi into the most rigid and yang qi. After all, the most rigid and yang qi has the same properties as the true qi cultivated through the furnace of heaven and earth.

It was just that I suddenly thought of the ice field outside the sky and the blessed land deep in the ice field. I felt something inexplicably in my heart, so I melted it into the power of extreme cold.

Then, a vortex of internal force of the Yin-Yang fish appeared in the Dantian.

Then he was lost in thought.

Frankly speaking, he himself was puzzled by this breakthrough to the Divine Mysterious Realm.
