Forgetting both self and world

Gu Yue, standing on the other side, also noticed the unusual behavior of Bai Yushan.

She turned her head to look at the quiet Bai Yushan, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She had known Bai Yushan for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen him so quiet.

Normally, he's either fighting, preparing to fight, teasing people, or practicing martial arts.

Never before have I been so quiet, doing nothing and saying nothing.

As Gu Yue watched, her cheeks grew slightly warm.

She quickly turned her head to look at the bioluminescence on the seabed, unable to bear looking any longer.

But something inside me stirred slightly.

Just then...

Bai Yushan suddenly moved.

He felt a sudden inspiration, as if something had gently echoed in his mind.

That feeling is hard to describe.

It was like an epiphany, or like something that had been dormant for a long time finally waking up.

He braced himself against the railing with both hands and gracefully flipped over.

It floated lightly down onto the sea.

My toes touched the water's surface, creating a very shallow ripple.

Then, the ripples quickly subsided.

The water surface returned to calm.

Bai Yushan stood there on the sea.

Step by step, they walked deeper into the sea.

Each step landed on the water's surface, creating only a very shallow ripple before quickly subsiding.

It felt like walking on flat ground.

No, it's even lighter than walking on flat ground.

His figure appeared exceptionally tall and slender in the moonlight.

The black hem of her dress fluttered gently in the sea breeze.

Step by step, they slowly walked towards the depths of the sea.

Below, fluorescent coral reefs shimmer and schools of fish swim to and fro.

Above, there are countless stars and a bright, clear moon.

He walked in the middle, between the water and the sky.

Like a painting.

When Gu Yue saw this, she instinctively wanted to call out to him.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Leng Yaozhu stopped her.

Leng Yaozhu slowly shook her head, signaling Gu Yue not to disturb Bai Yushan.

Her eyes held a mixture of seriousness and understanding.

She could sense that Bai Yushan's current state was quite unusual.

His aura was completely different from usual.

Normally, his demeanor is restless, arrogant, and aggressive.

But at this moment, his aura was as calm as a deep pool of water.

No, it's calmer than deep water.

It's as if it has become one with this sea and this sky.

This state can only be found in truly top-tier experts.

Even she had rarely reached such a level.

That state of oneness with nature, where the self and the external world are forgotten.

This child is only nine years old.

Leng Yaozhu was secretly shocked.

She knew that Bai Yushan was probably in a state of sudden enlightenment at this moment.

At times like these, you absolutely must not disturb them.

If interrupted, a tremendous opportunity might be missed.

Bai Yushan walked on the sea, step by step, slowly.

Various images flashed through his mind.

Those days in Aolai City, Na'er's smiling face, Bi Ji's gentleness, Chen Qingquan's nagging...

Various images surged in like a tide, and then receded like a tide.

They came, and then they left.

All that remained was tranquility.

It seems to be a brief return to normalcy that has been lost for a long time.

It also seemed like a heartwarming scene, flowing through my mind.

At this moment, his soul achieved perfect harmony with his body.

The electric current flowed slowly through the meridians, no longer the violent, restless, and explosive force it usually was.

Instead, it becomes peaceful and gentle, like a stream, flowing slowly through every meridian and every muscle.

The muscles relax, the bones relax, every cell relaxes.

Soul and body, perfectly united.

There was no conflict, no contradiction, no agitation.

Only harmony, only peace, only tranquility.

As the saying goes:

The moon sinks into the cold water, its shadow falling silently.

The wind sweeps across the water, leaving its mark without ever fading.

The affairs of the world are like the tide, coming and going, all is emptiness.

Unperturbed and undisturbed, untainted and uncontested.

A tranquil pool, forever cherished in its serenity.

These few words of boxing technique seemed to well up from the depths of his soul.

Every word echoed clearly in my mind.

One Thought Way.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, I found myself in a secluded old garden, where a tightly closed gate suddenly opened.

The view behind the door is unobstructed.

Bai Yushan stopped in his tracks.

He stood on the sea and closed his eyes.

Slowly raise both hands and hold them in front of you, focusing your mind on the central point.

Then, he slowly waved his hands in the air.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

When it's fast, it's like the wind skimming the water's surface, touching and then receding in an instant, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

When it's slow, it's like the moon sinking into cold water, pressing down gently, so slowly that you can see the trajectory of each finger.

Every punch and every move carries an indescribable charm.

It looked like they were boxing, or maybe dancing.

It felt like a spiritual practice, or perhaps a dialogue with the sea and the sky.

Even so, his feet did not create any ripples on the water.

Every step, every turn, every movement.

Even when the toes touch the water's surface, only a very shallow ripple is created.

Then, the ripples quickly subsided.

The water surface remained calm throughout.

Like a mirror.

Reflecting the stars in the sky, the bioluminescence on the seabed, and the young man slowly practicing his martial arts.

Below, schools of fish are swimming around.

The little fish didn't seem afraid of him at all.

They swam over in groups, circled around his feet, and then swam away.

The fluorescent lights twinkled, like a cluster of tiny stars, swirling around his feet.

Above, the sky is filled with countless stars.

Each one was incredibly bright.

The bright moonlight shone on him, giving him a silvery glow.

A gentle sea breeze blew by, ruffling his clothes and his black hair.

Below are swimming fish, above are stars.

The young man stood there, his martial arts skills naturally developing.

Every punch, every movement, every breath, is perfectly in harmony with this world, this sea.

It's as if he was originally a part of this sea, originally a part of this sky.

Harmony between humanity and nature.

Forgetting oneself and the external world.

On the yacht, Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue quietly watched Bai Yushan perform martial arts on the sea.

Neither of them spoke.

They were afraid that making a sound would break the tranquility.

On the sea, Bai Yushan was still slowly practicing his martial arts.

Each punch and each movement became slower and softer.

Finally, his hands slowly returned to his dantian.

My mind is like a clear pool, my breath like the tide.

The whole world fell silent.

There was only the sound of waves, only the sound of the wind, only the sound of a heartbeat.

A tranquil pool, forever cherished in its serenity.

Bai Yushan slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright.

He lacked his usual arrogance and madness.

Only calm, only tranquility, only a clear understanding that has seen through everything.

He looked down at his hands.

The palm lines are clear, and the fingers are long and slender.

It looks no different from usual.

But only he knew that a tremendous change had taken place inside his body.

Bai Yushan suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The hearty laughter echoed across the sea.

His eyes were crystal clear, pure and innocent.
