Chapter 68 Is the bamboo basket empty?

Bamboo basket is empty!

It was not until now that Jiang Hanye knew how brave a person who could use bamboo baskets to fw water should have.

Pomo's vegetable field is only two or three minutes, and the bamboo basket is not big, but today, in order to help him water the vegetable field, Jiang Hanye almost got down tired. Because it is a bamboo basket, it is naturally leaking. At first, Jiang Hanye could only water with the remaining water droplets attached to the wall of the bamboo basket. Later, he found that this was not the way, so he remembered what Tao Bo said about "Nianli".

"Nanli, what is it?" Jiang Hanye looked at the bamboo basket in his hand helplessly and thought secretly, but for him who had never been exposed to the thing of 'Nanli', it was useless to break his head. This first day passed like this. When Jiang Hanye dragged his tired body back to his residence, he was surprised to find that his hands and feet had swollen.

"It's strange that it's just a bamboo basket to flick water, but it can swell up? I think the last edema was just something that happened when I was walking on the horse. Jiang Hanye lay on ** and tossed and turned so that he couldn't sleep.

Unconsciously, the time has arrived, and Jiang Hanye remembered what Luo Ri said: "The time is the time when the aura between heaven and earth is the most prosperous. If you practice at this time, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Since I can't sleep, I'll just get up and meditated." Jiang Hanye said to himself.

He turned over and got out of bed, pushed open the window, and the autumn wind penetrated into the window during the peak of the night shift and pounced on Jiang Hanye's face. Unexpectedly, there was a cold feeling, which swept away his fatigue and immediately cheered up.

Jiang Hanye opened the window and returned to the bedside. His hands were slowly pressed down from his shoulders until his waist and abdomen. He felt that his whole body breath had been changed before it was over. He exhaled gently, sat cross-legged by the bed, closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.

Jiang Hanye, who entered the meditative state, gradually drove all his breath into the sea of gas and threw away all the distractions. There was silence around, and he had clearly heard his breathing. In one breath, it was so turbid.

The turbid breath represents that the breath in a martial artist's body is not pure, which is not surprising. Previously, in Wo Niu Town, he had eaten and drank fireworks in the world, and his body will naturally accumulate, and such meditation is also the way to expel these impurities in the body through breathing.

Gradually, Jiang Hanye entered a state of selflessness, which is a relatively high level for meditating people. As the basic skills of cultivation, Jiang Hanye's foundation is very solid. It is precisely because these basic skills are not solid enough that some people can only stay at a certain level and cannot move forward.

However, with the gradual disappearance of consciousness, Jiang Hanye did not know that his body was changing, and a black smoke came out from all over his body and gradually spread to the whole room. The black smoke condensed in the room and grew into a huge skull full of the whole room.

Xiaobai was shocked by the skull-like black smoke and rushed out of the nest and screamed at the black smoke. At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the window, which was faint and invisible, like a ghost.

Jiang Hanye has fallen into a state of meditation. Naturally, he doesn't know what happened outside the window, and of course he doesn't know about the huge black skull. After hovering around the house for a moment, the black smoke turned into a wisp of green smoke and suddenly penetrated back into his body from Jiang Hanye's nostrils.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Hanye took a deep breath and opened his eyes. It was already bright outside.

"Although I have been practicing meditation for a long time, I have never meditated as seriously as today. Although I haven't slept all night, I'm not sleepy?" Jiang Hanye stood by the window and looked at the yard outside, which was a little surprised.

It was already dawn, and Jiang Hanye wanted to go to Taobo's place. Somehow, although it was very difficult to 'bamboo basket fg water', he seemed to be possessed and was thinking about it.

"I must get water today." Jiang Hanye called Xiaobai and walked all the way to Taobo.

Probably because it was too early, the door of Taobo's room was closed, the yard was quiet, and Xiaohei didn't know which tree he had dived to to rest.

"Xiao Bai, I'm going to practice. You have to be good alone." Jiang Hanye patted Xiaobai's head and said.

"Wow!" Xiaobai whined a few times at Jiang Hanye, as if he was saying yes repeatedly.

After Jiang Hanye settled down, he quietly walked to the vegetable garden behind the house. The bamboo basket was still quietly placed against the wall. Jiang Hanye picked up the bamboo basket, strode to the well, and quickly picked up a bucket of water from the well.

Jiang Hanye carried a small bucket of water in his hand and was about to pour it into the bamboo basket. Suddenly, he thought, "Oh, this can't be done. It's always empty. I guess nothing can be cultivated, right? Tao Bo said that mind power, what is mind power? Is it the mind? Mind?" Jiang Hanye was puzzled.

"Cough!" Tao Bo coughed and pulled Jiang Hanye back from his reverie.

Jiang Hanye looked back. Tao Bo was walking from the well platform from the house wearing a long gown and a crutch, so he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Tao, good morning!"

"Early, you are early too!" Tao Bo was in a rare good mood and smiled at Jiang Hanye, "Well, did you make any progress last night?"

Jiang Hanye shook his head: "I'm too stupid..." he said.

Tao Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Hanye, looked down at the bamboo basket in his hand, and said with a smile, "You haven't understood it yet, right?"

Jiang Hanye nodded silently.

"Come on!" Tao Bo turned around and walked under the old peach tree. For more than two years, he had been sitting under the peach tree and supervising Jiang Hanye carrying a heavy bucket to water the garden. Now is he going to teach Jiang Hanye under this peach tree?

Jiang Hanye was stunned and hurriedly caught up with the bamboo basket. Tao Bo staggered and walked slowly, but no matter how Jiang Hanye chased him, he was always a little different from him and could not get closer.

Tao Bo sat down on the lounge chair, holding his crutches in his hands to see the panting Jiang Hanye, and said with a smile, "What? You can't even catch up with me, a lonely old man? It's really promising."

"You walked too fast..." Jiang Hanye answered honestly. For more than two years at Wanjian Villa, he has been practicing with all his heart. Whether it is walking or standing on a stake, whether it is carrying water and climbing mountains or cutting firewood to practice arm strength, he has sweated more than two or three times more than others. Therefore, although some people reached the next level faster than him during this period, two years later, Jiang Hanye's advantage of down-to-earth practice has been shown: his body is more than the same realm. The family is strong, stronger than them, the pace is more stable than them, and the body is more flexible than them.

Jiang Hanye exchanged his hard sweat in exchange for his current results, and his eyesight was naturally better than others, but several times he secretly observed Tao Bo and wanted to see what he took, but he couldn't see anything: Tao Bo was just walking with the most ordinary steps. .

"Too fast?" Tao Bo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Come on, button up the bamboo basket upside down. Sit down and we two have a good chat."

"Sitting on here?" Jiang Hanye looked at the bamboo basket in his hand. The bamboo basket is not much bigger than a spittoon, and the bamboo strips are slender and can be crushed with a little force. Jiang Hanye now weighs at least 100 catties. How can it bear it?

"If you sit down, just sit down. What's the matter?" Tao Bo stared.

Jiang Hanye then turned the bamboo basket upside down according to his words, and he sat on it carefully. This sitting was more uncomfortable than standing and squatting, and more uncomfortable than walking. The horse can also pay attention to the pace and give him a chance to cheer up his luck. However, sitting on this thing, Jiang Hanye will not only sit firmly, but also don't flatten it. Tao Bo still said, "If it's not the horse, you just sit next to it. Your buttocks should be next to it. Be careful. Don't crush me. If you crush it, you can pay for it. I can't afford it..." Balabala said a lot and made Jiang Hanye sweat profusely in this late autumn.

Jiang Hanye thought that after he sat down, Tao Bo would teach him how to use his mind, but after he easily adapted to the troublesome 'seat', Tao Bo actually dozed off without saying a few words. He didn't know how long he had slept, which made Jiang Hanye even more sad.

He is not a lazy person, so although Tao Bo squinted and even snores, Jiang Hanye still sat honestly. He kept changing his posture to relieve the numbness of his legs, but no matter how he changed, his buttocks did not dare to leave the 'seat'.

Finally, Tao Bo woke up. He sneezed first, then looked at Jiang Hanye and said, "Huh? You're here..." He seemed to completely forget that he forced Jiang Hanye to stay here!

"Tao Bo, didn't you say you wanted to teach me the power of mind?" Jiang Hanye's facial features were wrinkled, and his clothes were glued to his skin with sweat. He couldn't help pinching his legs. Those legs were no longer legs, as if they were filled with lead, and it seemed that 10,000 ants were gnawing.

"Oh..." Tao Bo seemed to remember it, and suddenly realized, "Yes, this thought..."

"The younger generation listens attentively." Jiang Hanye said.

"Have you thought about how to fill this bamboo basket with water?" Tao Bo did not mention the power of thinking, but asked.

Jiang Hanye recalled it carefully. He seemed to have been thinking about how to flick the bamboo basket and water the vegetable field since yesterday. He also thought about how to fill it with water, so he nodded and said, "I thought about it."

"What do you think?" Tao Bo asked with a smile.

"..." What do you think? This asked Jiang Hanye. He frowned and recalled it carefully, and said honestly, "When I brought water from that well, I thought about how to make this bamboo basket full of loopholes fill a little more water, but the result is the same every time..."

"Ha ha, if you think so, the result will naturally be like this." Tao Bo laughed and said, "The bamboo basket is hollow. Naturally, it is fruitless for you to think about how to fill it with water from a hollow bamboo basket. Not to mention you, even if immortals fall from the sky to earth, there is nothing you can do unless he uses a spell, but that's another saying."

"What on earth should we do?" Jiang Hanye frowned and asked.

"Have you ever thought about water?" Tao Bo asked back.

Jiang Hanye shook his head blankly. When Tao Bo said this, he really remembered that every time he flicked water, he looked at the bamboo basket in a daze and never thought about water. Water is water. No matter what he thinks, it's like that. It's flowing and leaky, isn't it?

Tao Bo seemed to see what Jiang Hanye was thinking and said, "If you think about water, water will naturally change as you think. I told you yesterday that water is ever-changing. The so-called continuous flow of clouds and flowing water, what do you think this sentence means?

Jiang Hanye became more and more confused. He shook his head again and said, "I knew it, but now I'm confused."

"Although you stupid boy is a little stupid, you are really very stupid." Tao Bo smiled and said, "Look at the clouds in the sky." He raised his head, and Jiang Hanye also raised his head.

The sky is blue, and a few white clouds like cotton float in the air, which is very beautiful.

"The reason why these clouds and water are often used as metaphors is that they cannot be cut off." Tao Bo said.

"Can't be cut off?" Jiang Hanye tasted this sentence.

"Typ, why is that?" Tao Bo asked.

Jiang Hanye frowned and thought as he thought, "The clouds are blown away by the wind, but they are still clouds. Even if the water is cut off, it is still water."

"Not bad." Taobo nodded and said, "But there is one more thing you haven't said, that is, there is nothing in the world that can really cut off the water. It is pervasive. Sooner or later, even the hardest rock can be penetrated by drops of water."

Tao Bo's words were like a sudden angry wave on a calm beach, hitting Jiang Hanye's heart, which made him suddenly realize, but this feeling seemed to lack something, and he always felt a little foggy in front of him.

"I said let you think about water. From now on, you should think about how to change the water so that you can stuff it into this bamboo basket." Tao Bo said, "Remember, it's water. Don't be smart enough to get ice in it. I just need water in the bamboo basket. Okay, you go."

Finally, he could stand up. Jiang Hanye suddenly couldn't move. His legs were sore and numb, and his back was almost stiff enough to be no longer stiff. Even the fingers of his hands were bent with some pain. This was caused by his clenching his fists in order to maintain balance when he sat on the bamboo basket.

After Jiang Hanye stood up, he moved his muscles and bones a little, and then thought all the way to the well platform and came to the well. The bucket of water that had been blown up before was still quietly placed there.

"Water..." Jiang Hanye looked at the bucket of water and couldn't help frowning. He stared deeply at the quiet water and thought, "How on earth can you be put into this bamboo basket?"

The water surface is very calm and clear, clean without any impurities. The water is very beautiful in the reflection of the cold night of the river, trees and the sky. Jiang Hanye's eyes stared at the water. In a trance, he felt as if he had melted into the water.

Jiang Hanye didn't know whether he was a fish or water, but he subconsciously felt that he was in the water, surrounded by transparent and clear**. Although he knew that it was water, he didn't seem to know it after he really entered it.

"What on earth should I put you in this bamboo basket?" Jiang Hanye kept thinking.

He slowly closed his eyes, and gradually, after 'entering' the water, Jiang Hanye felt that he seemed to be dissolved into the water, which was really dissolved into one. He felt that he was water, and he wanted to stay in the bamboo basket completely.

Jiang Hanye was so focused that he even forgot who he was and where he was. There is only one thing in his eyes now, that is water. There is only one thing in his heart now, that is, the bamboo basket with water.

In a trance, Jiang Hanye seemed to see something, which was a thing lurking in his heart, or an idea: to put water into the bamboo basket.

This idea turned out to be a substantial thing, clearly engraved in his heart, as concrete as a grass, a tree and a flower.

"I'm going to put water into this bamboo basket..." Jiang Hanye's heart is divided between the left and right sides. On the left is water, a drop of water, and on the right is an idea - put it in. Gradually, Jiang Hanye felt that he seemed to be in a whirlpool. The whirlpool was flowing rapidly, making him dizzy. When he easily adapted to the whirlpool, a surprising scene happened: the water in the bucket of water beside Jiang Hanye jumped out of a drop, jumped into the bamboo basket, and sat firmly. In the middle of the bamboo basket, it neither leaked nor disappeared.

Of course, Jiang Hanye didn't know this scene in his heart, because he was focusing on meditation at this moment, but Tao Bo saw it from afar, and a gratifying smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He scratched his beard and said to himself, "This boy is indeed a talent and can understand the nature of mental power, which I used to It took him more than a month to understand its essence. Unexpectedly, in less than two days, he actually did it..."

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Hanye suddenly felt very tired. That kind of fatigue was not physical fatigue or mental fatigue, but an indescribable fatigue. This kind of hard work made him have a splitting headache, so he quickly opened his eyes and rubbed his temples on both sides with his hands.

"Well, what should I do?" Jiang Hanye sighed. He picked up the bucket of water and poured it into the bamboo basket. It splashed and splashed all over again. The water slipped away from the cracks of the bamboo basket and disappeared into the soil. Jiang Hanye was extremely annoyed, but he did not find that there was still a drop of water in it, sitting in the center of the bottom of the bamboo basket like Mount Tai.
