Chapter 163 On the top of the mountain
If you look at the vast snow-capped mountains from a distance, they are so beautiful that you won’t find them intimidating because of their height.
However, when you are there, with the jagged rocks biting your soles and the crazy wind howling in your ears, you will realize how stressful and even scary it is to look up at the top of the mountain.
Master and I are not professional mountaineers and do not have any mountaineering equipment. Our only reliance is that we are cultivators, our bodies are stronger than ordinary people, and we have a unique breathing method. Other than that, there is nothing superfluous.
Advantages.
In front of heaven, earth and nature, you can feel more of a kind of equality. The equality of all living beings is because everyone has the right to live, and everyone will die. Naturally, heaven and earth will not change anything just because you have a noble status and outstanding abilities.
Beautiful scenery to please you.
Not to mention that you will not be prevented from appreciating its magnificence just because you are of low status and have ordinary abilities.
It's just like mountain climbing. If you have to climb up step by step, the cultivator may not necessarily have much advantage.
The mountain wind howls, and the air becomes thinner as you go higher, making people unconsciously want to save every ounce of strength. I am very lucky that Master did not want me to conquer the highest peak of Everest. Otherwise, I am afraid that the last day of my life will be...
It just wants to disappear silently among these mountains.
I started early, and by noon, Master and I had climbed up the mountainside. To my surprise, Master seemed to have a lot of experience in this area and was guiding me along the way. Just like every day when I was a child, he taught me all the time.
Hold me.
But Master is getting old after all. During the first third of the journey, I was always watching his back. For the rest of the journey, I was basically in front, and he guided me. Occasionally, I needed to hold him back.
Bundle.
I didn’t understand what Master meant by asking me to climb the mountain. But during this lunch break, he actually took out dry food from his body. I knew that he had planned this early in the morning.
Mountain climbing requires a lot of physical strength. During the break, I originally thought Master would say something to me, but in this biting mountain wind, he just told me not to talk, to save every ounce of energy, and then stayed silent with me.
After eating the solid food.
I almost want to retreat because I'm afraid that I don't have enough time. I don't know when I will disappear? Maybe it will be late at night today, maybe it will be when the first ray of dawn rises tomorrow morning? I want to leave some time.
, I have a lot to say to Master. I looked up at the top of the mountain, which seemed so far away, but Master didn’t give me any chance to stay, and just let me climb all the way up.
As a result, I finally reached the top of the mountain at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and I stretched out my hand to Master. He grabbed my hand and we came to the top of the mountain together.
At this time, there is still some afterglow of the setting sun, which casts a bright red color on the top of the white snow-capped mountains. At the moment, there is the entire snow-capped mountains, and further away, the continuous mountains surround the snow-capped mountains, and every mountain top
All stained with this layer of bright red.
Beauty is a breathtakingly beautiful scenery that I wish I could keep forever. This is the greatest significance of mankind’s invention of the camera. However, although the camera is good, how can it compare to the recording of one pair of eyes? The same scenery can be different for different people.
There is a different experience in my eyes.
Therefore, you still have to visit many places in person before you can say that you have seen them. Just like many things, you have to experience them yourself in order to temper your human heart.
"After seeing this scene, you feel that all the hard work along the way is worth it." Master stood beside me, letting the mountain wind blow his originally messy hair even messier.
"Yeah." Every time I am in front of nature, I have a different experience. Looking at this beautiful scenery greedily, I feel that even talking is superfluous.
Master smiled, sat down, patted the stone beside him, and motioned for me to sit down too.
"When I was young, following your ancestor, he liked to take a few of our disciples to climb the peak. He said it was not to let you stand high and see far, nor to let you experience overlooking all living beings and masters.
I just want you to experience a feeling of conquest." Halfway up the mountain, the mountain wind was very strong. When we reached the top of the mountain, the mountain wind became lighter. However, it still carried Master's voice far and wide.
"A kind of conquest? Conquering the mountain peak?" I sat next to Master. The air here was already a bit thin, but for Master and I, the impact was not great.
"No, it is to experience a kind of conquest of life in advance. Smooth days are flat land, and difficult days are like a peak suddenly rising from the flat land. There is no road, so you have to climb it! Or, just hide in it.
When faced with difficulties, stay forever and don't pass by." As the master spoke, he looked into the distance, squinted his eyes, and picked up his dry tobacco pole again.
But I realized the meaning of the words, the taste of climbing, people who have not really experienced it will never understand the psychological pressure, the laziness of wanting to give up again and again, all are real emotions, think about it,
This is no different from encountering difficulties in life.
I nodded lightly, and there was a smile on the corner of Master's mouth. He did not look at me, but said to me: "This mountain is not high, but it is enough for you to experience the taste of it. The will of Tao Boy is a mountain in your life."
Mountain, but you are my disciple, and I will never allow you to give up like this at the foot of the mountain."
"Master, what do you mean?" I couldn't help but ask. In fact, I was really ready to give up. I knew that compared to my will, I was not as good as Tao Tongzi. I was always 'weak' due to various reasons, while Tao Tongzi was determined to give up.
The heart of Tao seems so strong.
He is a person whose will is almost unshakable, so that’s why Wei Chaoyu’s tragedy happened!
"What do you mean? You know in your heart that what disappears will only be suppressed. This is your life, Chen Chengyi, your body, your soul, even if it is the descendant of Tao Tongzi, all of it is yours, tell me
Why did your will fail?" Master turned to look at me, with a sure light in his eyes.
"But I" Tao Tongzi's appearance is not too early, but no matter how different we are, if we separate the will and look at the origin, we are actually the same. Even though I still don't know where this similarity lies, I just feel that I understand Tao
Boy, the reason is because of this sameness.
As Master said, his will is really like a big mountain lying in front of me. I feel that I have no way to climb it. Because I understand it, I feel more and more helpless.
"Chengyi, one day you will understand that the weakness you think will become your strength. Master has two wishes in this life. The first is to find your master. The second is to witness your growth. But in
In the past years, this wish seemed so contradictory. If I wanted to find your master, I would have to give up the years of being by your side. Now, I know some answers, but I may not be able to witness your journey.
Grow." Master looked into the distance again and said to me in a low tone.
"Master? Are you worried about that war? I don't think so. If that is the fate of our lineage, Lao Li, then welcome it." I stood up and looked at the scenery down the mountain. I don't know if it was because of the people.
At the top of the mountain, his speech seemed more heroic.
The master laughed loudly and said: "Chengyi, your words make me happy, but I, Jiang Lizhun, have never been worried about war. In fact, I really want to protect you for a few more years and watch you move forward step by step.
Before, just like my life is moving forward step by step, you are my inheritance. It is not only the Taoism, not just the theory, but also the inheritance.
It is a spirit, a relationship that is more connected than blood! Chengyi, so you must cross this peak in front of you. Even if the master leaves, you will not have any regrets, because at that time, I know
, nothing can stop you anymore, even if there are really difficulties that you can’t overcome, you will still be on your way.”
"Master" I turned around and looked at Master in the wind. He was sitting in a very lazy posture, but the expression on his face was very calm. When I was a child, he gave me the feeling of a middle-aged man who has gone through vicissitudes of life. Now,
The years have left deep marks on his face, and he finally looks like a real old man.
But even so, I still greedily wanted to keep him while I was away and let Dao Tongzi fulfill my wish. But now, why am I so frightened.
"Master has been missing for so many years. You must really want to know what happened to me, right? You don't ask, just because you don't want to peel away the painful years of separation. But our lives have long been connected at the moment we met.
Inheritance also includes sharing with you little bits and pieces of experiences in my life. It’s time for me to tell you, Chengyi!" Master looked at me, wanting to light his dry smoke at this moment.
There was a strong wind on the mountain, so I quickly shielded Master from the harsh mountain wind. Master lit up the smoke and looked at me with indescribable kindness in his eyes. But I turned around and whispered to Master: "Master, we'll talk about it later."
Isn’t it possible?”
I always feel extremely uneasy.
"Let's talk about it later? Chengyi, do you still want to hide your situation from me? I only had one year left in my life when you found me. I'm like this, everyone is like this except Ling Qing! Do you still want to leave?
Before me, the master? Do you think I will allow it?" Master said very calmly, but he was questioning me.
And I, standing on the top of the mountain, heard the news and almost lost my balance, but Master held me back.
"How much time do you have left? It's time for you to tell me. In other words, from now on, you have to learn not to give up on yourself and be ready to climb the mountain. But before that, I have to tell you about myself.
Just because, I think the next time will be the last splendor of my life, and I have to prepare wholeheartedly." Master pulled me and said seriously.
I let him hold me with a dazed expression. As the wind blew between us, would life be the same? In the end, it would leave no traces, or would these traces be passed down from generation to generation and forever carved in our hearts?
