When I returned to Qinghe Town, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Laodao lying on a rocking chair, a small table beside him, with tea on it, and a radio.

"Old man, I'm tired and tired outside, you are here to be happy, and you are in a hurry to call me back, what the hell is going on?"

"Yo, I'm back, there's a lot of stuff, I'll see, what's good"

When Liu Laodao saw me coming back, he opened his eyes and saw me carrying a big bag, and immediately opened it with a smile to see what was inside.

"Why are there so many bacon, you went to Shudi?"

"Let's talk about things first, or you won't want to eat any of them"

"The little rabbit cub has turned the sky over you, don't say it, see how you can drop"

Liu Lao Dao happily rummaged through the contents of the bag, which were all given to me by people in that town, and the company distributed some of them, and I took the rest back.

"Old man, do you know, I finally found a job, don't make trouble, okay, it's not easy for me to find a job?"

"If you don't like it, don't do it, what are you anxious about?"

"I'm not unhappy, I'm so happy, and every day is very fulfilling."

"Fulfillment, that's very busy, what about your practice, don't want it, come, let me check it, how is your practice lately, do you still run twenty kilometers a day?"

"Ahem"

I was choked half to death by Liu Laodao, well, he was right, the company in Tangchuan was too fulfilling, and many things fell behind, such as running 20 kilometers every day, I don't remember when I ran last time, so I took some time to meditate or something every day, and my practice fell a lot.

"I didn't do what I said, in fact, I don't force you, the road is your own choice, if you still want to walk on the path of cultivation, then you have to abandon a lot of things, if you don't want to go, you just want to be an ordinary person who rests at sunset, then your current ability is enough, and when I solve the trouble you caused, you can live with peace of mind."

"Old man, what do you mean by that?"

"It's literal, in fact, it's very difficult to practice this road, not everyone can walk for a lifetime, and more importantly, people who walk for a lifetime may not be able to get anything in the end, cultivating into immortals, that's just a legend, there are so many amazing and gorgeous people in history, have you ever seen an immortal, at least my master, and I haven't seen it, just take me as an example, I haven't given up, otherwise I wouldn't have been stumbling for so many years, the road of cultivation, the biggest difficulty is that I can't see the future, I can't see hope, I can't see the light, every step is ethereal and ignorant, do you know what I mean”

"Understood"

I replied softly, I understand Liu Laodao's words, the path of cultivation is ever-changing, everyone has their own opportunities, so everyone's path is different, when you get started, the master can still help you, but after the entry, the master can't help you anything, every step needs you to walk by yourself.

Take me as an example, in the months after the apprenticeship, Liu Laodao taught me hand-in-hand, but in the next few months, there was only guidance left, and by this year, the guidance was almost gone, why, because Liu Laodao couldn't teach.

If he still teaches me according to his experience, then I will only follow his old path, and the greatest achievement is that he is now, and it is extremely difficult to bring forth the new when the time comes, because human behavior has inertia, and it is extremely difficult to overturn many years of habits, so it is better to let me grope my way forward.

And it is precisely because of this that the path of cultivation is extremely difficult, what is the end point of cultivation, if according to the history of Taoism, it is to cultivate into immortals, but has anyone ever become an immortal, there are many myths and legends, but no one has seen it, even if you believe in it, this is also a road that cannot see the future, so the vast majority of people will choose to give up after reaching a certain height, which is no exception to Liu Laodao, because they found that even those who have been brave and diligent for a lifetime are just like that, and they have not become immortals, this result is too disappointing。

But I'm different from Liu Laodao now, I've only been practicing for less than two years, and when I was just at the beginning of my brave and diligent progress, all I saw was hope, and I didn't have the slightest disappointment, so how could I give up.

"It's good to understand, but what I just said is not necessarily correct, some people say that life is practice, if you can find a perfect balance between practice and life, then it is not impossible, you are still young, your life is still very long, you can take your time, don't be in a hurry like last year"

"I know, I'll adjust it, now we're not short of money, when I finish earning the money for this house, I won't be in a hurry"

"Silly boy, there is no end to making money, if you earn 100,000, you will find that 100,000 is not enough, you want to make 1 million, money is something outside the body, understand"

"I understand, I just want to get a house for you to enjoy your old age, I don't want to think about anything else"

"Haha, that's maybe, you get one in Qinghe Town, but you don't live here, if you stay in Yangcheng all the year round, then you have to come to Yangcheng all year round, with the housing price in Yangcheng, how long do you have to struggle?"

"That makes sense, okay, old man, if you call me back, just to tell me this, I'll tell you, you really don't want to eat these specialties at all."

I said coldly, I accept all these truths, but can't I say this on the phone, do you have to call me back?

"What, the old man misses you, can't he call you back to see you?"

"Okay, I'm convinced, Uncle Liu"

"Why don't you kid tease, it's not fun, hurry up and cook, and I'll tell you after eating, by the way, put down the daughter of the Chen family, I haven't talked to her for a long time"

I angrily took off the soul nourishing wood, and then went to cook alone, half an hour later, I called Liu Laodao to eat, and Liu Laodao also took out a bottle of wine.

"Why did you start drinking, it's still broad daylight, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"

"Don't be afraid, the old man hasn't lived for a few years, and when he comes, he has to enjoy it, you won't allow this, right?"

"No, you drink it"

I'm a little silent, Liu Laodao's words are usually hard to distinguish between true and false, this guy loves to joke too much, but he never jokes about his lifespan, he said this, it is likely to be true.

This makes me very worried, Liu Laodao is old after all, and he was injured three times twice last year, maybe those injuries have hurt his foundation.

"Those bastards in Xiangjiang, damn it, you must kill them"

As soon as I thought of this, I immediately scolded, all this was made by that group of bastards, the source is that Qin Lang, and he must take revenge.

"It's just a passing cloud, those people in Xiangjiang, you don't have to deliberately take revenge, just have the opportunity to clean up"

"Good"

"The daughter of the Chen family ····· this matter"

"You don't have to worry about this, you can't control it, I can make up my own mind"

As soon as Liu Laodao said Chen Menghan, I knew what he wanted to say, but there was no need to discuss this matter, I had to make my own decisions.

"It's okay, I believe you can solve it, grievances and hatreds, the cycle of cause and effect, is also a matter for you young people, I'm old, I can't manage so much"

"Old man, you've said more than once when you come back today, what's the matter, tell me early, let me have a good meal?"

Liu Laodao's attitude is so suspicious, he doesn't make it clear like this, I can't even eat.

"It's not a big deal, I just want you to be a person's protector"

"Apologists, who"

I was suddenly shocked, the word "road protection" is not casually said, this thing is generally only available in famous schools, these famous schools are mysterious and abnormal, and there are often some special people in the door.

For example, a person who is born with a strange talent is the kind of person who can compose poetry at the age of three, but in the Daomen, there is another miracle, and there is a reincarnated person, and the Daomen will also say that the reincarnation of the spirit child of the Buddhism Gate, specifically the rebirth of a certain immortal or a certain ancestor, and they have their own set of ways to confirm the specific situation.

Anyway, this kind of person, in the eyes of those people, is a treasure, a natural cultivator, and his future achievements are limitless, but this kind of person is often ill-fated, and the road to enlightenment is extremely difficult, and there will be many challenges, so before they grow up, the Daomen will arrange a protector.

It is an extremely difficult thing to protect the way of the person, and to protect the person for the escort, because you don't know what kind of calamity the person you are protecting will encounter, and it is not a small thing for you to help him resist this calamity, and it is not uncommon for any accidents to occur, so even if the protector is in those famous factions, there must be important people to serve, and his morality, character, and ability must be extraordinary, otherwise it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility.

"Valley Millet"

"Gu Xiaomi, old man, don't be kidding"

"I'm not kidding"

"No way, I've seen that little girl more than once, but she doesn't look like a natural person, and she doesn't look like anyone's reincarnation."

"Natural talent is not necessarily shown from an early age, the hidden secrets of Tantra, Kaihui has heard of it, because of some factors, what results are induced, Gu Millet is probably like this"

"Probably, old man, tell me about such a big thing?"

I looked at the old man suspiciously, you tell me about this kind of thing, I can't believe it, I can't believe it at all, it won't be that your old man promised the old lady of the valley again.

"It's probably, I calculated a hexagram for the little girl a few days ago, do you know what the result is, it can't be calculated, the heavenly opportunity can't be revealed, the future is ignorant, you should know what it represents?"

Liu Laodao's words made me frown suddenly, this kind of hexagram explains a lot of things.
