Chapter 68 Waiting

I was led down the mountain by my master and senior brother.

But on the way down the mountain, I was a little stupid. Obviously I couldn't completely digest some facts.

I received normal education in my first ten years old. Even though I had vague contact with some things, it was like the experience of the terrifying cave when I was a child, and there was also a very vague person - Aunt Yun. It seemed that she made me see a sudden ghost.

I also know that the mountain gate where I am, what I learn and what I speak are all strange.

But people have an ostrich mentality. Some things are clear at the time. After some days, they will comfort themselves that what they see may not be true, and there may be various reasons. It may be explained that once they are far away from their own life, things that seem to be unexplainable become uncertain and even blurred.

At this time, my mentality is shaken. I don’t believe it or believe it. I always need some more firm things to appear in my normal life to completely change my stubborn view.

This is my mentality.

The master said without any scruples, or was already changing my mentality in secret.

I suddenly remembered Brother Zhengchuan's words - the three words before the Jianghu are the Jianghu of the cultivators.

So what is a cultivator?

I even spent three years on the mountain and didn’t think there was anything wrong with my life? Just like Taoist people, no matter what they practice, their skills are always basic! The components of skills are complex, but in simple terms, they are nothing more than a powerful soul and body.

Where does the skill come from? It is naturally derived from "qi". Every true Taoist inheritance has its own unique method of practicing qi.

When I was practicing the Qi practice method, I felt qi once, and it was only after I had been hungry for three days. At that time, I also found a good reason for myself.

It’s like, it’s the internal strength in martial arts novels. Isn’t it also about internal practice?

But this qi is completely different from that qi. This is a concept that I only knew later. The martial arts family practices a breath, which emphasizes that when fighting, the breath continues. The so-called internal strength is the basis of endurance.

The qi that Taoism trains is the energy of heaven and earth absorbed by the body when it breathes, as well as the innate qi that has been hidden in the human dantian. When wandering, it nourishes the soul. After cutting off bones and marrow, it nourishes the body.

Only by making the body pure can the soul and spiritual awareness grow and be more in line with the body.

Essentially, this difference is a big difference.

However, the master did not explain all this to me before. I like to think what I think is, right? Later, Brother Zhengchuan told me that this is a kind of gradual psychological guidance, because if you don’t know what you are practicing, you will be more likely to enter a state of ethereality in your mind.

Because there is no expectation, there is naturally no burden. Just follow the steps and practice cleanly.

But many years later, Brother Zhengchuan also said that my practice was deliberately adjusted. It was considered a strange practice. Without practicing thinking, he began to practice Qi.

However, I am the only one who can do this!

As for why? No one told me what the answer was? This led to the fact that I had never really faced my own situation, my identity, what I learned, and my world had changed psychologically when I first went down the mountain gate.

Master also gave an explanation for this. It may not be a good thing to know too early, and people will become sensitive!

But the question is, what is the sensitivity to? When we are about to die, everything seems to be shrouded in a heavy fog, as if the master and senior brother, everyone is creating a "Trumen's world" for me, the self-righteous world in the movie.

Why?

Because I was shocked, I went down the mountain in such a trance state. I just subconsciously followed my master and brother along the way, and I actually walked for a long time. Until I jumped over a surging stream, I almost fell into the water and was pulled by Brother Zhengchuan.

"What are you thinking?" Masakawa's tone was a little blamed.

"I think this world is really amazing." My head was a little dizzy. I remembered a TV series I watched when I was a child. I was once very fascinated by the TV series "The Investiture of the Gods" that was broadcast all over the country.

Is that all that true?! I want to ask, but I dare not ask, for fear that once Brother Zhengchuan answers, the world in front of me will become strange.

"It's not as magical as you think. Just get used to some things. It's like, Master always tells us what kind of world, how long have you and I seen it? It doesn't matter what you learn, and life is not the same? What's the difference?" Brother Zhengchuan sighed appropriately.

But Master looked back at us and said meaningfully: "What changes will happen in life? This is something that no one dares to be sure of? Zhengling, have you forgotten the word "inaction" that Master told you? If you are at peace in your heart and do nothing, what's wrong with being inaction?"

What's wrong with being inactive in my heart?! I seemed to be shocked. What a clean and pure mentality? It seems to be completely unprepared, but in fact this is the most solid soul.

Because of the inaction of the mind, what else can cause trouble? It will cause confusion in the state of mind?!

At that moment, I felt a sense of enlightenment before, and the mountain scenery that was not in my eyes became vivid in an instant, and the depression in my heart also dissipated. I began to feel the excitement of going down the mountain. Suddenly, I smiled.

"You little brat, you're really childish! How could you be the junior brother of a vicissitudes of man like me?" Brother Zhengchuan sighed without being honest.

"Are you a vicissitudes of life? Only men like me can read the dust and precipitation of time. Xianxian hasn't seen me, otherwise he will definitely fall in love at first sight." The master glanced at Brother Zhengchuan and said extremely seriously.

Brother Masakawa and I looked at each other, and then at the same time, we looked like we were "vaporing".

"Bastard!" The master was slandered on the spot and couldn't hold on to his face, so he cursed and kicked Brother Zhengchuan and I, who were trying to escape.

Compared to going up the mountain, it is naturally much easier to go down the mountain.

We stepped out of the mountain gate at around 2 pm, and by less than 11 o'clock in the evening, we had already walked out of the vast Qinling Mountains.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, it was dark. I remember that when I entered the mountain a few years ago, there were some scattered residents at the foot of the mountain, but at this point in time, it was normal that there were no lights on earth.

At the foot of the mountain is an extended dirt road. When we go down the mountain, we go down from a small road at the foot of the mountain. Then we get to the interruption of the dirt road. I know that the end of the dirt road is a village, but I don’t know where the end of the dirt road leads to?

So the problem arose. I can't think about how we spend the night in this place where there is no village in front or store in the back? Why not just be in the mountains, at least find a place to block the wind, and don't have to sleep on the road in such a mess, right?

I was a little anxious when I thought about this, but the master and senior brother were sitting on the ground as soon as they put the big bag of luggage.

"Master, are you just spending the night here?" Judging from their posture, wouldn't they really sleep on the road?

"What's wrong with spending the night here?" The master's voice was never in a straight face. As soon as he sat down, he took out his pipe and put it in his mouth.

When I went down the mountain, my master didn't drink. The baby's yellow wine gourd could only be placed on the mountain with regret. I asked Brother Zhengchuan on the road, but Brother Zhengchuan said he was not very clear, but remembered that it was vaguely related to Master's past.

Facing such a master, I was so anxious that I almost cried. I couldn't imagine that when it was dawn, there were always villagers passing by early and seeing the three of us sleeping on the road.

My dignified Ye Zhengling, the famous boss in the school, really can't afford to lose this face.

At this time, Brother Zhengchuan pulled me and let me sit comfortably on my luggage bag. He said with a smile: "Do you think Master will answer our questions seriously at other times in terms of academic matters? Wait patiently, who said he would spend the night here?"

"Wait patiently?" I don't understand what Brother Zhengchuan said. In this dark and dark place, what are we waiting for without the village or the shop behind?

But Zhengchuan did not answer, took out dry food and water from his backpack on his own, and then pulled me and my master to share the food.

I was really hungry and ate voraciously. After I was full, I started leaning against my luggage bag and taking a nap in a daze.

After all, life is extremely regular on the mountain. It is unimaginable to go to bed after 11 o'clock unless it is not completed in the evening class.

Soon, I became confused. I felt that my master's rough hand was placed on my head in a daze. I heard him say with a smile: "This brat is really good at home for a thousand days. When I go out, I don't care about the trouble. I have to practice more."

Although he said this, the doting in his words was very clear. He didn't express it like this when I was lively and jumping around.

It was accompanied by the chuckle of the senior brother and the smell of the rising smoke from the master, mixed with the thermos he took down the mountain, and after opening it, the smell of hot tea in the cup.

When my master smokes his pipe, if conditions permit, he will always drink a cup of tea. This smell is almost the most familiar smell during evening class. It will always accompany me until my eyes are drowsy. I feel more at scented by smelling this smell, and I don’t feel cold at night, and I feel even more sleepy.
