The straw sandals boy is very reserved, nervous and apprehensive.

He was dressed in a coarse cloth coat and wore a pair of straw sandals, but his whole body was quite clean and tidy, his skin was slightly dark, and his eyes were bright and bright.

"Sit, you and I meet each other, it is fate, can you tell me about your previous life?"

Lin Xun smiled and spoke, his voice was warm and peaceful, which made the straw sandals boy feel calm, like a spring breeze, and sat down according to his words.

He thought about it, and then he spoke about his past, clearly and coherently.

The young man's name is Su Bai, he is thirteen years old, he comes from a remote village in the West Heng Realm, and his family has been farming for generations.

Some time ago, the village was attacked by a tide of beasts, and Su Bai's parents were also unfortunately killed, and they died in the mouth of the beast......

Knowing this, Lin Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

Su Bai.

This name reminded him of Yun Qingbai again.

The straw sandals boy named Su Bai was extremely nervous at the moment, he vaguely understood, and his eyes were irrepressibly filled with anticipation.

Lin Xun stared at the young man and said, "Back then, there was a person who was very similar, but when he embarked on the path of cultivation, he was always forced, and his life was full of tragedy. ”

Su Bai was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Senior, I'm different from him. ”

Lin Xundao: "What's the difference?"

Su Bai took a deep breath and said seriously, "I...... If I can follow the path of my predecessors, I will only rejoice and rejoice, and no one else will be able to force me to do anything. ”

Lin Xun smiled, this is a very smart teenager.

"Why do you want to cultivate?"

Lin Xun spoke again, "I'll only give you three chances, if the answer satisfies me, I'll give you a chance to apprentice." ”

Su Bai's spirits perked up, and his whole body trembled with joy and excitement.

But soon, he took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself, and did not rush to speak.

He knew that this was a test for Lin Xun's predecessors!

A good answer, from now on, you can leap into the dragon gate and go straight to the top.

If you don't answer well, ...... yourself After all, it's still the same waste who can only watch his parents suffer in front of the beast, and there is nothing he can do about anger and anger!

"Why do you want to cultivate?" Su Bai began to think, his eyes were in a trance, and he remembered a lot of things.

I think of the hard work of my parents since I was a child, but I am still plagued by poverty and epidemics.

I remembered the storyteller's mouth of those cultivators who called for wind and rain, moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, and seemed to be omnipotent.

I also remembered the beast tide that brought me great pain, and remembered the scene of being ridiculed by Xue Yong on the shore of the Star Chess Sea.

Xue Yong once said: "There is no talent, I have been working hard and I am versatile, there is never a shortage of straw bags in this world that are higher than the sky, everyone thinks that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and God rewards diligence, but in the end it is still unknown to everyone, far from being able to compare with other cultivators, this is the avenue, it has always been so cruel, and the stupid people with stupid qualifications want to change their lives against the sky, it is absolutely wishful thinking." ”

Suddenly, a strong and incomparable impulse surged into the heart of the straw sandals boy, wanting to express his vision of monasticism.

But when he touched Lin Xun's calm and deep eyes, the straw sandals boy suddenly sobered up and suppressed that strong impulse.

There was hatred, anger, sadness, and sadness in the past, but it had already happened and could not be changed.

That being the case, if you want to cultivate in the future, you must not be trapped in the past!

Thinking of this, Su Bai broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that if he said that answer impulsively just now, Lin Xun's predecessor would definitely be very disappointed.

Then, the straw sandals boy fell into deep thought again.

The more he thought about it, the more messy his thoughts became, and he was in a trance, unaware of the passage of time.

Lin Xun didn't bother him, and quietly got up to leave.

......

"Little worm, why did you remember to come to see me?"

Lin Xun found Xia Xiaoworm on the side of a cliff, this innocent, pure as glass girl, as if she didn't grow up, and still maintained her appearance back then.

It's just that compared with that year, the girl's appearance is a little less green and a little more beautiful.

"I remembered that I hadn't seen Brother Lin Xun for a long time, so I came. ”

Xia Xiaoworm looked confused, thinking that this question was too strange.

Lin Xun was stunned and couldn't help laughing, yes, you can come if you want to, is it because you have to trek through mountains and rivers for some purpose?

This is Xia Xiaoworm, who is happy, does whatever he wants, and has a flawless heart, but is close to the avenue, which fits his heart.

"If I don't come, will Brother Lin Xun go to find me?" Xia Xiaoworm asked.

Lin Xun was speechless for a while, of course he could say yes, but in the face of a sincere and kind girl like Xia Xiaoworm, he was unwilling to be perfunctory at will.

After thinking about it, he sighed lightly: "Yes, but it won't be now, and I'm not sure when, probably ......"

Xia Xiaoworm had already said happily: "Yes!"

Lin Xun was embarrassed for a while.

Even, he was a little envious of this clean and beautiful girl, like a sunflower tree, giving people a beautiful breath.

The reason why he is envious is because he can't do it.

He still has a lot of things to do, and although a Dao heart is unmatched, it has already gone through hardships and is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning.

Lin Xun said warmly: "Since you are here, you will have fun here, when you are homesick, I will send you back." ”

Xia Xiaoworm blinked, his clear eyes were full of smiles: "Brother Lin Xun, you are still good to me, as long as you don't dislike it, I will always be good to you in the future." ”

Lin Xun laughed.

Chatting with Xia Xiaoworm made him feel extremely relaxed and happy.

......

For three whole days, the straw sandals boy had been thinking about the question raised by Lin Xun.

His brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and he looked exhausted.

"Big brother, this question is too difficult, this little guy hasn't started his cultivation yet, how can he say the words 'knock on the heart and ask'?"

Secretly, Aru, who had been paying attention to Su Bai's movements, couldn't help but say.

Lin Xun's eyes were incomprehensible, and he said: "A child from a poor background, once he encounters an opportunity that is enough to change his fate, even if it is just a wisp of hope, he will use all his strength to hold it in his hands, and even be paranoid, and he will not hesitate to pay for it." ”

On the other hand, those children from wealthy families will not be like this, because they don't have to worry about their future cultivation at all, and someone has already arranged everything for them. ”

"This is the gap in origin, among the poor people in this world, among tens of millions of people, how many people can finally stand out?"

"Even if you can stand out, compared with those children from famous families, whether it is the future or the background, there is still a big difference after all. ”

After a pause, Lin Xun continued: "Just like this young man, if he wasn't from a poor background, why would he have to work so hard for an opportunity to cultivate the Dao? Similarly, since he wants to change his fate, then from the first step of seeking the Dao, he must make far more extraordinary efforts, otherwise, he is destined to be lost to everyone in the future. ”

Aru scratched his head and said, "Big brother, with your current strength, you can casually point out this kid, and you won't fly in the future?"

Lin Xun laughed: "If this is the case, I would rather not accept apprentices, since I want to accept apprentices, I should be responsible for their future paths, I don't want my apprentices to live by my Lin Xun's prestige in the future." ”

Aru said with a strange expression: "However, if you become your apprentice and not be affected by your prestige, it will be too difficult, if this kid does not put in a thousand times the effort, he may live in your shadow for the rest of his life." ”

Lin Xun said: "That's why I asked him that question, only if he understands it and understands it thoroughly, his path will not be affected by me in the future." ”

"It seems that you have already made up your mind to take this young man as an apprentice, big brother?"

Aru said in surprise.

Lin Xun snorted and said, "At the beginning, I wanted to see if he would become the second Yun Qingbai, but now, I just want him to be himself, a unique Su Bai." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xun smiled and said, "Of course, now he has passed my test. ”

"Passed?"

Aru was stunned.

......

"Senior, are you saying that I have ...... Qualified?"

Su Bai was woken up by Lin Xun, but he hadn't come up with a satisfactory answer from beginning to end.

But Lin Xun told him that it was okay!

This made him look confused.

Lin Xun smiled and explained: "If you tell me any answer, I will not be satisfied, because that is just your current thought, when you embark on the path and become more and more powerful, this idea will change." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I only hope that when you practice in the future, if you encounter confusion, confusion, or even calamity, ask yourself why you cultivated in the first place, and then you will already have the answer in your heart. ”

Su Bai's head banged, as if he understood it all at once, but when he thought about it carefully, he still couldn't know.

Lin Xun patted the young man's slightly thin shoulder, and said softly: "This question is one of the reasons why you are seeking the way, when one day you completely understand it and see it thoroughly, you will understand." ”

Su Bai was stunned, but he still realized that he had been recognized by Lin Xun, and the questions that he couldn't figure out now could finally be figured out in the future!

"Now, you've only passed my test, but it's up to you whether or not you'll be taken as an apprentice. ”

Lin Xun looked solemn and spoke calmly.

Su Baifu reached his heart, knelt down and kowtowed, and said pious and firmly: "Please also ask your predecessors to teach you." ”

Lin Xun said: "In the next period of time, I will teach you the most basic cultivation tips and give you secret methods to practice." ”

"But before you get my approval, you must not claim to be my disciple, which means that your actions in the future have nothing to do with me Lin Xun. ”

"If I find out that you are acting under my banner, I will deprive you of all your ways and teach you that you will never turn over, do you understand?"

These words struck Su Bai's heart like a Taoist voice, grand and majestic.

Su Bai was silent for a long time, and finally said firmly: "The junior understands!"

On this day, Lin Xun, who already had the cultivation of the pinnacle of the Great Sage Realm, accepted Su Bai, a poor straw sandal boy, as a "registered disciple"!

Before Su Bai was officially recognized by Lin Xun, this matter was destined to be known to no one in the world except for a few people who knew about it.
