Ma Weiba was a little overwhelmed.

Ji Man continued:

"If you want to become my true disciple, you must have the responsibility to inherit the identity of the Ked Guardian of Jiuzhou. The Ked Guardian of Jiuzhou has been killed in battle for Jiuzhou. I don't want my descendants to have my inheritance, but I can't take the responsibility I should have. I just want to live forever."

Ma Weiba was silent, and he finally understood why his master was so cold to him.

His master thought he could not take responsibility for the tripod protector needed by Jiuzhou.

But he didn't know how to refute it, because he had never thought about it.

Seeing Ma Weiba silent, Ji Man said:

"Think about what you want. If you just want to live in a daze, then I can teach you a little bit."

"yes!"

Ma Weiba lowered his head.

He was silent.

Ji Man waved his hand.

Ma Weiba slowly retreated.

At the foot of the mountain, Ma Weiba slowly walked out of the clouds and mist. He held a basket of food in his hand and looked at Gu Daojun and Zhang Jiuling in front of him and said:

"Two, it's time to have a meal."

Zhang Jiuling looked at it and found that something seemed wrong with the richest man's eldest son.

"Thank you, but you seem to have something unhappy?"

"That's right."

Ma Weiba smiled and said:

"Is it so obvious?"

"It's almost like I'm writing on my face."

"Okay, I'm having some trouble."

Ma Weiba admitted.

Gu Daojun said in surprise:

"What else do you have to worry about? You are already that apprentice."

Taibai Mountain is the holy place of martial arts in the world.

And the one on Taibai Mountain is the leader of martial arts in the world.

How could a peerless strong man from the former Ming Dynasty who had lived for 700 years have any worries as an apprentice of such a person?

"Are you worried?"

"I am naturally worried. I am still thinking about how to join the lintel of the man on Taibai Mountain."

Gu Daojun shrugged.

"But in the common slums in Africa, they probably can't figure out that a rich child like you, who lacks nothing and will not be surrounded by war. Why are you worried?"

The Gu Daojun was silent.

"It's related to that person."

Zhang Jiuling opened the bamboo basket and ate the fruits in it, and said.

"Yes, but you really can't solve this. I hope you will become my junior brothers now, so that someone may be able to share my troubles."

"I borrow your good words."

After hurriedly using lunch, Zhang Jiuling and Gu Daojun leaned on the bluestone on the mountain for a brief rest.

Ma Weiba looked at Gu Daojun and Zhang Jiuling and said softly:

"Actually you are very awesome. I have tried the seven levels on this mountain, but I haven't even passed the first level. Even my brothers passed the first level as quickly as you did. In fact, it's quite ashamed to say that I am a registered disciple who worships under the master's sect, but I am not as good as those who have not worshipped."

"You don't have to think like this, there is no absolute fairness in the world."

Zhang Jiuling comforted Ma Wei and domineering.

"Maybe."

Ma Weiba gradually packed up the bamboo basket in his hand.

At this time, Gu Daojun asked curiously:

"You haven't mentioned these seven levels before. Do you know what these seven levels are?"

I don’t know what to take, but I have to try my best to guess when I get in. This is simply too difficult.

Zhang Jiuling and Gu Daojun looked at each other and felt deeply the same.

Ma Weiba stopped packing the basket, he seemed to think for a while, and then said:

"These seven levels are courage, understanding, perseverance, strategy, overall situation, knowledge, and perseverance."

After a pause, he said again:

"You have passed the first level, and this is courage."

The ancient Taoist lord:

"Yes, it's so sad. I think I will fall into it with another chance. The so-called courage is to face the most terrifying thing of my own. It's not just to defeat it, but to completely let go of my mind in front of my own fear and crush my fear. I almost sink in and can't get out of it."

"Yes, it's so difficult to completely crush fear and be fearless."

At this time, Ma Weiba seemed to have been awakened his failed memory again, but he quickly recovered and said:

"The second level is insight. I have never entered this level, but I heard from my friends in the past that I could not find any possibility of passing this level. He was stuck in front of this level for a few days, but he had no clue."

Zhang Jiuling frowned when he heard this.

"Insight?"

Understanding is an ability that is often considered between Taoism and Buddha.

In ancient sayings, those who understand are my heart.

A person can only understand the wisdom that can be understood by one person and cannot be expressed in words.

As the saying goes: Master leads you to the door and practice depends on your own.

"How do you take this test?"

Gu Daojun frowned tightly.

"Zhuangzi·Qiwu Lun" tells a story of being fickle, which is very similar to your situation at that time. You are monkeys. In the dilemma, finding out your stupidity and the essence of things is enlightenment."

"This is a sentence that Master mentioned. You can understand it and maybe you can give some tips."

"How do you realize this? I once saw a description like this in a book discussing enlightenment, saying: The so-called enlightenment means that people who have never seen any form of the sea understand the vastness and boundlessness of the sea; that means that people who have never felt pain feel the heart-wrenchingness of childbirth. It is too empty, how can they have such empathy?"

"Then break your limits and empathize."

Ma Weiba said quietly.

"Because if you can't do it, then the next time you see me, it's time to go down the mountain."

"And once Taibai Mountain goes down, it will be difficult to climb up again."

"After all, there are too many people in the world who want to worship my master, like a carp crossing the river, countless. This is all for this. I hope that next time I see the girls, I am not seeing you off."

"It's almost time, please!"

Ma Weiba made a "please" gesture, just like when he first invited Zhang Jiuling and Gu Daojun to enter the first level.

"Don't worry, I won't let you take me down the mountain."

This time, Gu Daojun took a step ahead of Zhang Jiuling. He walked to Ma Weiba and said solemnly.

Then he slowly turned around and stepped towards the fog.

"Senior Brother, is it banned from drinking on the mountain?"

"Can't help!"

"Then wait for me to go up the mountain to have a drink and have fun with you."

Zhang Jiuling made a toast gesture and said with a smile.

"I'll wait for this day."

Ma Weiba smiled softly.

"But, I must remind you that it is difficult to go up Taibai Mountain. Come on, I hope there will be such a day."

"There must be."

Zhang Jiuling turned around and stepped into the clouds and mist.

"Maybe, the master likes this kind of courage."
