There is not a trace of clouds in the vast sky, and it is extraordinarily empty and full of spirituality.

A nine-winding mountain path, with flowers blooming brilliantly on both sides and green grass on the road, obviously not many people passing through, perhaps because there are some dense trees here, so there are not many people coming and going.

The reason why Runzhi decided to take the mountain trail was because he wanted to appreciate the beautiful scenery of nature, to get close to nature, to have more contact with nature, to understand and appreciate the unique beauty of nature, so as to better alleviate the hardships of this journey.

On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of wild flowers, and they slowly turn into large forests, mostly pine and cypress.

Runzhi pointed to one of the pine trees, and then said:

"This pine tree looks very old, it looks very huge, even a few people holding hands can not hold this big tree, it seems that this big tree must be at least a thousand years old. Such an ancient pine tree has actually witnessed the history of mankind, and the so-called turtle has annual rings just like this squirrel although it has a long life. This means that these ancient pine trees are actually witnesses to a unique history. In fact, such pine trees are really admirable. In the long river of years, such pine trees, under the nurture of time, a little bit of vigorous growth, and then only have today's scale, the so-called journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, no accumulation of steps to thousands of miles, no accumulation of small streams into rivers and seas. That is to say, everything is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, that is to say, all things are a process of continuous development, it is a process of continuous development from small to large, originally this pine tree is very small, but after countless years of testing. He began to grow gradually, from the size of a rice bowl to the size of a bucket, and then to the size that a few people couldn't hold.

Runzhi remembered something, and only heard him say: 360 Literature Network

"In fact, the pine tree building is accumulated over the years, and in the long river of these years, the pine trees have never stopped growing. It is precisely because it continues to absorb countless nutrients from the underground, and then provides the underground nutrients to itself, using sunlight to continuously produce a large number of substances, so that it grows little by little. In this process, it is so low-key, and it is so remarkable, because in the process of growing strongly, it is inevitable to go through countless tests, such as the wind, rain, thunder and lightning that is collapsed, the risk of being cut down, and the risk of being attacked by many pests, these old trees have experienced, and he has experienced layers of challenges and tests to have such a huge body, so this is indeed a big tree worthy of admiration. ”

The sun is warm, and the breeze is still quiet, blowing the land, blowing many pine trees, and the needle-like leaves gently sway, emitting an alluring smell of pine.

As far as the eye can see, on both sides of this country road, all are the depths of the lush jungle, except for the shrubs of the big insects, there are these large areas of pine and cypress trees and all kinds of miscellaneous trees, these trees are all striving for the only sunshine, rain and dew and the fertility of the land, with the time to grow a little bit stronger, there are also many trees, as if they are specially designed to bear fruit, on the branches have bloomed some various colorful flowers, attracting countless bees to buzz around on it, There were a few butterflies dancing on it.

Cheng Hanyun listened to Runzhi's words, and then said:

"Actually, this ancient pine tree does have many similarities with the wild lilies before it, but in general the two are completely different. This pine tree is more adept at long-lasting accumulation, just like the golden mean advocated by our Confucianism, it is so modest and humble and low-key and introverted, he is always good at covering his edge, and constantly exerting force in the dark, in this deep soil a steady stream of nutrients, from the root to strengthen himself, to develop himself, so that his roots are deeply rooted in the earth. The ancient pine tree is rooting deeper and deeper, and the area of its control is getting bigger and bigger. In this way, whether it is in times of drought or floods, it can ensure a continuous supply of nutrients from the boundless roots. At the same time, at the same time, all this nourishment is used to develop itself, to strengthen itself, to make itself stronger and thicker, so that its branches become longer than the branches of all other trees, and all this is done slowly and silently, without attracting attention at all, and its branches are slowly getting longer and longer. ”

Cheng Hanyun paused, and then continued:

Runzhi and its trunk is getting stronger and taller, so that it can go straight into the sky, and it can easily obtain the favor of these countless sunshine, so that it can get the essence of the earth, so that it can better make itself. Develop better, so that you have more opportunities to enjoy the sunshine and rain. And muttering wild lilies, but it is not the case, he spent a few months, and even half a year, he only bloomed once a year and bloomed, only a few less than a week, all the other time of the year was used as a foreshadowing, he spent a year to absorb enough sunshine and rain, absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and only used these few days to show all his beauty without reservation, show it in front of the world, give the world a moment of method and beauty feeling, This is a perfect fit. This is the mission of the wild lily's survival, in the course of the wild lily's life, he does not seek that deep accumulation, he only wants the only time in the year to open, so that everyone can appreciate his short moment, it is extremely happy for him. This is not the case with the pine tree, he is like this all year round, it seems that there is little change in the four seasons of the year, every year, every year, he is constantly absorbing the essence of the earth. In this process, Runzhi has continuously developed its roots longer and farther, and rooted its roots more firmly in the earth. I better absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and better make myself stronger and stronger, which is probably what the golden mean says, low-key and a little humble and calm, always pay attention to impartiality."
