A sea, an island, clouds and mist, this is the south hall, there are not many people on the island, more than 1,000 people, scattered on the island, fishing, farming, hunting, just like mortals.

"Go back to the roots, see through the mortal dust, in order to attain the enlightenment of the avenue, many people in this world blindly pursue strength, but in the end they are all divergent in the road, cultivation on the way, it is easy to move forward, but it is difficult to retreat. ”

Feng Feng was still outside the island, on the starship, looking at the people walking in the sky and the sea, showing pain and struggle, but Ye Ling and Gu Fan had already come to the island.

Outside the island, there is only a piece of sky, and there is an empty and endless sea, there is no lake at all, the so-called lake, it is just an obsession in their hearts, they can't see through, it is impossible to get out of the illusion.

"Master!"

The old man took Ye Ling and Gu Fan to the island, and along the way, people bowed to the old man one by one.

The old man, there is no name, or no one knows his name, the people on the island are all his disciples, and they are all called Shizun, looking at him, they all have a respectful look on their faces.

"Then stay here, and one day you will see your way, and then you can leave. ”

The old man said, stopping in front of a cliff, turning around, looking at the two of them with a faint smile on his face.

"Where are you going?" Gu Fan was stunned and looked at the old man, the old man looked at him, his body slowly blurred, and he didn't answer, he glanced at Ye Ling, turned into a ray of light, and dissipated.

"Practice, don't be impatient, calm down, try to be a mortal, and you will understand. ”

The voice sounded in Ye Ling and Gu Fan's hearts, the old man had disappeared, Ye Ling and Gu Fan glanced at each other, their faces were stunned, and finally they both shook their heads, the old man's words, they didn't seem to understand.

"Maybe the master wants us to live like mortals, like these people on the island, to be fishermen, farmers, hunters...... The so-called mortal cultivation of the mind, probably so. ”

Gu Fan said, Ye Ling looked at him, nodded, looked at the place where the old man disappeared, and fell into deep thought.

It is easy to see your own way clearly, but how many of them can really see clearly in this world?

"Fate, ethereal, unpredictable, I have been enlightened for decades, and I have only seen a little bit, I want to see clearly, how easy it is to say, it seems that it is difficult for me to get out of here. ”

Gu Fan said, with a bitter look on his face, Ye Ling looked at him, stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Fate, how unspeakable, how unpredictable, Gu Fan's Tao is actually fate, if you want to see it, it is indeed difficult.

"Ye Ling, why don't we compare with each other, see who gets out of here first, and the loser promises the winner one thing, how about it?"

Just for a moment, a smile appeared on Gu Fan's face again, looked at Ye Ling, and said, Ye Ling looked at him, smiled faintly, nodded, and looked at Ye Ling nodded, Gu Fan also showed a smile on his face.

"Ye Ling, I'm afraid you think your own Dao is too simple, your Dao is not necessarily weaker than mine, it's not easy to see clearly than me, this time I won. ”

Gu Fan said, looking at Ye Ling, with a confident face, as if he had already determined that he would win, Ye Ling looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a smile overflowed.

"Ten years. ”

Ye Ling said, the two of them, made Gu Fan stunned for a moment, and then also smiled and shook his head.

"Impossible, ten years, I have a chance to get out of here, and you, impossible, a hundred years have some opportunities. ”

"Huh. ”

Ye Ling smiled faintly, Gu Fan looked at Ye Ling, pursed his lips, turned around, and left directly.

"I'm going to find my own way, I haven't lost since I Gu Fan was born, and I won't lose this time. ”

He said, the person had stepped into the jungle and disappeared into Ye Ling's field of vision, Ye Ling looked at his back, shook his head, turned around, stood on the cliff, and looked at the world on the island.

The jungle, the sea, and the fog make up an island, and there are people on the island, all looking for their own way, and they all seem to have listened to the words of the Lord of the South Hall and lived like a mortal.

Looking at the clouds and mist in the jungle, the roaring of apes and the chirping of birds, a mundane scene, I watched it for a long time, crossed my knees, and entered the cultivation.

One, two, three...... I don't know how long it took, an arrow hit the cliff, Ye Ling's side, Ye Ling opened his eyes and saw a person, a man in sackcloth, carrying a basket of bows and arrows, holding a bow, looking at Ye Ling, with a smile on his face.

"Senior brother, excuse me, did you see a timberwolf, he was also hit by an arrow in the leg. ”

He asked, Ye Ling looked at him, shook his head, the man nodded, there was a touch of regret on his face, he just wanted to turn his head away, as if he thought of something, and looked at Ye Ling again, and looked at it for a moment.

"Senior brother, the so-called mortal refining of the heart, not into the ordinary, how to refine the heart, you have taken a fork in the road. ”

He said, Ye Ling looked at him, did not respond, for a moment, it seemed to be in deep thought again, forgetting the man, the man looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and left.

"Boom—"

After a long time, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and a lightning bolt cut through the heavens and the earth, and it was about to rain.

Ye Ling raised his head and looked at the sky, stunned, staring at the sky, not knowing what he was looking at, and not knowing what he was thinking.

How can he refine his heart if he refutes his heart in the mortal world, has he really taken a fork in the road?

Behind Ye Ling, the demon body sat upright, like a shadow, and also like a human body Ye Ling, looking up at the sky, watching the thunder surging and the wind raging, and fell into a daze.

What is His Word?

The Devil's Way?

Kendo?

Formation?

......

If that's all, why did the hall master of the South Hall let him see his own way clearly, could it be that he was really wrong?

In a trance, his divine consciousness came to that gray world again, and the sword, the endless sword, with the immortal will of countless swordsmen, surrounded a tombstone that reached the sky.

It seems that he saw the scene in the Cangyuan world, where three swords volleyed in the air, slashing the sky, and countless people were shocked.

Finally, he saw a picture scroll, a back, a sword, and it seemed as if the whole world had become his reflection.

Time passed, the thunder passed, the rain poured down, and the sun was shining, I don't know how long it was, a year, or three years, or more, Ye Ling opened his eyes.

Compared to the past, nothing seems to have changed, and there seem to be some changes that no one can imagine.

"Whew!"

An arrow, shot from the jungle, was not coming towards Ye Ling, but beside Ye Ling, but in the end, it fell into Ye Ling's hand, and Ye Ling held this arrow.

Looking up, I looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, there was a person standing there, carrying an arrow basket on his back, holding a bow, looking at Ye Ling, there seemed to be a touch of surprise in his eyes, Ye Ling, he had actually sat here for seven years.
