Chapter 163: Why Do You Practice?
The peach blossom source in the early morning, the wind is gentle and smooth, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the whole pink world is in full view, which is particularly different.
Small droplets of water floated on the rouge-like petals of the peach blossoms, rolling and gathering, and thousands of sparkling pearls appeared on the petals.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the thousands of pink petals rolled up with the breeze, moving in the wind, and then scattered piece by piece, as if a fairy was scattering flowers, which was beautiful.
Quietly looking at this beautiful scenery, Luo Qing replied with a state of harmony between his heart and nature, and his face was full of peace.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Luo Qing couldn't help frowning, it was rare to reach this state, I thought I could gain some insight, but I was ruined by a knock on the door.
I wanted to be angry, but I couldn't, the people who came were the two apprentices he had just received, they didn't know the state he had entered before, and besides, they were also ordered by him yesterday.
Both of them brought everything they needed for life, and Luo Qing gave them the entire West Courtyard to live in, and after that, he would teach in Nansai.
"You're here!"
At this time, Luo Qing walked back from outside and called them right behind his back.
"Master, it turns out that you are not in it!"
The two turned around, and pressed Luo Qing back from outside, and Sima Yan took the lead in speaking.
"The plan of the day lies in the morning, and such a peaceful morning is the most suitable for understanding, so it should be used well. ”
Luo Qing smiled slightly, in response to Sima Yan's question, and at the same time told the two disciples that early morning was the most suitable place to cultivate, so that they should not waste their time in the morning in the future.
"The disciples understand that they will never be lazy in bed in the future. The two little ones looked at each other and then 'hehe' and laughed.
"That's good, you don't need to be too serious with me in the future!" Luo Qing smiled slightly and said, "You go to the West Courtyard first to choose your own room to settle in, and then come to the main courtyard to see me in an hour." ”
"Yes. The two said in unison.
"Oh, by the way, all three of you are in retreat, don't go to the other three courtyards to disturb them. After the two little ones took a few steps, Luo Qing reminded them.
"Yes, master. The two replied in unison again.
An hour later, the two little guys came to the main courtyard on time, at this time Luo Qing was carrying a wooden barrel, the wooden barrel was filled with half a bucket of grain seeds, and then Luo Qing poured an appropriate amount of water into the wooden barrel.
"You're here!" Luo Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes, master, you let us come here in an hour, and it has been an hour now. Sima Yan said.
Looking at the things Luo Qing was doing, Liuxiang was curious, so she asked, "Master, what are you doing here?"
"Soak the grain seeds, haven't you seen them?" Luo Qing said with a smile.
Liuxiang shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, why do you want to soak the grain seeds?"
"Of course, the purpose of soaking grain seeds is to make them germinate, and then take them to sow seeds!" Luo Qing looked at the curious Liuxiang and said: "In Peach Blossom Spring, you have to be self-sufficient and self-reliant, your master and I have to find a way to support ourselves!"
"Master, your cultivation is so high, don't you open the valley?" asked Liuxiang again, and Sima Yan nodded curiously.
A smile bloomed on Luo Qing's face and he said, "Let me ask you, what are you cultivating for?"
Sima Yan didn't think about it, and then replied directly: "Of course, cultivation is to become stronger!"
So Luo Qing asked again: "Then what if you are already the strongest in this world?"
The disciple didn't know how to answer. Sima Yan said with some embarrassment.
Then Luo Qing looked at Liuxiang and asked, "Then what about you, Ah Xiang, what is the purpose of cultivation?"
"Ordinary people live for less than 100 years, and our cultivation is naturally to compete with the heavens for longevity and live longer. Ruka obviously thought about it for a while, so she answered well.
"That's right, cultivation is to live longer!" Luo Qing smiled, then looked at Sima Yan and said, "Even if you are the strongest person in this world, you will be swallowed up by time one day, so you keep things simple." ”
When Luo Qing said this, Liuxiang was obviously a little happy, although Luo Qing did not praise her positively, but it was equivalent to praising her from the side.
At this time, Luo Qing turned his face, looked at Liuxiang, and said, "Don't be happy, in fact, what you said is not entirely right." ”
Hearing this, Liuxiang was puzzled and said, "Master, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Luo Qing showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "You're right, cultivation is for longevity, but what is the purpose of living for so long, have you ever thought about it?"
"It's... The disciple really hasn't thought about it!" Ruka said.
Luo Qing looked at Sima Yan, looked at Liuxiang, and then said: "Actually, whether you want to become stronger or for longevity, this is the thought that others have instilled in you, but you have never thought about what you are practicing for. ”
"Then master, what are you practicing for?" asked Ruka again.
Luo Qing recalled when he was a child, so he smiled and said, "When I was a child, I just started practicing because I was curious and found it fun. ”
"And after that!" Ruka said curiously.
"After that!" Luo Qing smiled and said: "After I met a few of you masters, my realm was much lower than them at that time, I thought, what if I encounter bad people bullying them in the future, so in order to protect them, I will practice hard!"
In fact, this passage was made up by Luo Qing, only he has always calculated others' share, even if his realm is lower than others, he is still calculating others, and in the end he will win, who dares to bully the people around him, those who dare to do so will eventually even destroy the family.
"Then the master's cultivation is to protect the people around him?" asked Sima Yan at this time.
Luo Qing said: "It used to be, but then it wasn't. ”
"Then what are you practicing for?" Sima Yan and Liuxiang both looked at Luo Qing curiously.
"With the increase in cultivation, others have long been afraid to bully us, so I thought again, what am I cultivating for?" Luo Qing said with a smile.
Ruka asked again, "What's that for?"
"Of course it's for enjoyment!" Luo Qing smiled: "What do you say you live for thousands of years, isn't it just to enjoy life better?"
Luo Qing looked at the two little guys with a confused look, so he explained: "One of you wants to become stronger, but when you become the strongest existence, no one can beat you, isn't it very lonely, but there are thousands of years of life, do you just sit and wait for death?"
Hearing this, Sima Yan frowned, but he seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Luo Qing continued
"And Ah Xiang, you practice for longevity, but if you don't live to enjoy life, then what's the point of living for thousands of years, just to be a walking dead for thousands of years?"
"Master, your description is too unusual, how can you live like the walking dead?" Hearing Luo Qing say this, Liuxiang was a little unconvinced.
Luo Qing smiled and said: "Don't say it, your master and my analogy is indeed very appropriate, let's take the matter of Bigu as an example, you have lived for thousands of years, Bigu for thousands of years, and you have not even tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so what are you going to do if you live for so long?"
"Is it just to say to God when the time comes, look, I have stolen thousands of years of time from you? Live is for enjoyment, don't think so much about anything else, enjoy life, this is cultivation. ”
At this time, Sima Yan suddenly said: "Master, even if it is for enjoyment, what does this have to do with this bucket of grains?"
"Nonsense, if you don't sow the grain seeds, there is no harvest, so what to eat, how can you enjoy what you don't eat. Luo Qing didn't have a good airway.
Sima Yan grinned and said, "Master, if you don't have anything to eat, you can buy it, if you don't have money, just tell me, I'll buy it for you." ”
"Your master, I think he is a person who is short of money?" Luo Qing glanced at Sima and said: "Enjoy, enjoy life, not just food, labor is also a part of life, you are the same, in the future, I will work in the field, in the source, you are not allowed to spend money to buy food outside." ”
"Master, we don't have to work in the field, right?" Sima Yan looked at Luo Qing helplessly, he was a prince, when had he ever done this kind of work!
"I have to work, do you want to do it, is there such a good thing?"
Luo Qing looked at the two apprentices and said with a wicked smile: "You Bigu, right? Don't worry, you won't be in the future, just look at your Leshui Master, she used to be Bigu, and after following me, she still became a foodie completely." ”
"This ......" the two wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to say it at this time.
"What, that, if you really can't work in the field, it's too late to leave now, if you don't want to leave, then you have to work honestly for me in the future, you used to have someone to serve, but there is no one here, I haven't served this person here!"
Luo Qing said, then looked at the courtyards, and then smiled awkwardly.
"Got it, master, we'll just work later. The two said in unison.
"In that case, let's start the first class now!" Luo Qing said, then took out a bottle of pill from the storage ring and handed it to Liuxiang.
Taking the pill, Liuxiang asked, "Master, what is this?"
Luo Qing said: "This is the Qihui Pill that I personally refined for you, you only have ten Hui Roots, and your cultivation speed will not be able to keep up in the later stage, so if you take it, the remaining Hui Roots will be slowly opened." ”
Hearing this, Liuxiang knelt down and said excitedly: "Thank you, master!"
Luo Qing looked at Sima Yan, shook his head and said, "How many pills have you taken, the erysipelas you are all over, if you don't clean it up, your life will be ruined." ”
After speaking, Luo Qing grabbed Sima Yan's wrist, and then transmitted a trace of flame into his body, and began to comb his veins.
"Cleaning up erysipelas for you, it will hurt a little, you can hold back for me!" Luo Qing said, without waiting for Sima Yan to answer, he directly began to purify the erysipelas that had accumulated in Sima Yan's various veins.
