Jiang Xiaoyu was a little nervous, feeling in his heart that this should be Mu Yi's test for him, if he couldn't answer, he would definitely disappoint Mu Yi, so he was inevitably a little anxious in his heart, and the smarter a person, sometimes the more he thought.

Mu Yi was not in a hurry, and after retracting his gaze, he raised his head and looked at the sky in the underworld, especially the full moon that represented the Holy Mother of Houtu.

It's just that if life is like this, if there are no regrets, it is a kind of incompleteness.

It is precisely because it cannot be perfected that it will be tirelessly pursued.

At this moment, Mu Yi seemed to have forgotten Jiang Xiaoyu, and only the full moon above his head was in his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Xiaoyu, who was sweating profusely, suddenly lit up, and then said loudly: "My lord, I thought of it." ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's call, Mu Yi retracted his gaze and looked at him again.

"Cultivation is walking, chopping wood, and eating." The more Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he seemed to find that what he said was a little unreliable, how could cultivation be chopping wood? What's going on with eating?

"Oh, practice is walking, chopping wood, eating?" On the contrary, Mu Yi's eyes lit up, he originally thought that Jiang Xiaoyu would say a big truth from hearsay, but he didn't expect that he had his own opinions, although it was superficial, but in essence, it also revealed the true meaning of cultivation.

What is Sadhana? I believe that different people will have different answers, but in Mu Yi's view, practice is an experience, no matter what your ultimate goal is, but it will never be practice for the sake of practice, there must always be such and such a purpose, so it doesn't matter what the purpose is, what matters is the process.

And Jiang Xiaoyu's answer, practice is walking, chopping wood, is eating, this is his understanding, but it also fits the original intention of practice, Jiang Xiaoyu's answer If it is placed in the Buddha's home, it is a wisdom root, and in the Taoist family, it is the Tao fruit, which is born suitable for practice, and is absolutely good and beautiful.

If at the beginning, Mu Yi just had the idea of casually instructing, which could be regarded as repaying the cause and effect of the village chief handing over the jade pendant, then now, he really loves talents.

In the cultivation world, it is difficult to find a good master, but in the same way, it is also difficult to find a good apprentice, especially if you want to find an apprentice who can inherit the mantle, it is even more difficult.

At the beginning, Mu Yi accepted Tie Niu as a registered disciple, but it was also for a reason, and he never thought of letting the other party inherit his mantle, otherwise he would not only teach the other party's martial arts, not the mind and spirit that he is good at, but now, he can't help but wonder if he should really accept Jiang Xiaoyu and inherit his mantle, so that even if he has any accidents next, at least he will have an explanation for the old way, and he will not let his inheritance be cut off.

And Jiang Xiaoyu's quality has already passed the test, he is kind in nature, and he is extremely intelligent, and the hardships in his early years have made him far more mature than his peers, and his character is also tenacious, and he is definitely a good apprentice.

When Mu Yi was thinking about all this, Jiang Xiaoyu next to him didn't know, and thought that Mu Yi was not satisfied with his answer, and was full of anxiety, and at the same time secretly hated himself, he knew that he didn't say that just now, if the adults are disappointed, will they not teach him? Such a good opportunity, if he misses it because of his recklessness, not to mention that he will not forgive himself, even if the village chief and his mother know, he will definitely be disappointed.

Fortunately, Mu Yi didn't make Jiang Xiaoyu worry for too long, and when he came back to his senses and saw Jiang Xiaoyu's appearance, he couldn't help but smile, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Jiang Xiaoyu, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" Mu Yi's expression became serious.

Hearing Mu Yi's words, Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned, before the village chief presented him with a precious jade pendant, Mu Yi only promised to teach him for a while, and even refused to accept him as an apprentice before, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, things would take a hundred and eighty degrees for a big turn, Mu Yi actually asked him if he wanted to apprentice?

Was he dreaming, or was the Virgin blessed?

After pinching his thighs hard and feeling a thrill all over his body, Jiang Xiaoyu finally determined that he was not dreaming, and then ecstasy, immediately, he knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation, "Xiaoyu is willing." ”

"Okay, it stands to reason that you need to put down the ancestral tablet for your apprenticeship, but I never care about these clichés, but since you have entered my door, you must remember to respect the teacher." Mu Yi said slowly.

"Yes, Master, Xiaoyu must remember that from now on, respect the teacher, and never do anything that violates the master or betrays the master, otherwise he will die of a thousand catastrophes." Jiang Xiaoyu swore with a serious face.

"Remember not to swear casually in the future, and if you really deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, you don't need to add any catastrophes, since I can give it to you, I can make you lose, and there are not so many rules and regulations under my door, whether you are good or evil in the future, it is your own way, I will send you four words in the end as a master, and I will not forget my heart." When Mu Yi said this, he couldn't help but think of the old way.

At that time, he was still a little doll who didn't understand anything, and he followed the old way to the rivers and lakes in a daze, and the old way told him the most at that time was not to forget his heart, eight years, the old way changed him little by little, this painstaking work, only when he grew up, he thoroughly realized it, but unfortunately it was too late, and it was too late to say to the old way, thank you.

Therefore, what he can teach Jiang Xiaoyu is also these four words, and they are also the most important things in his life, in his opinion, these four words are even more precious than a martial arts.

"Don't forget your heart?" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered to himself, looking a little confused, but then he slowly became firm, "Master, I understand." ”

"Well, that's good, in the future, you just need to practice that set of boxing techniques every morning, and then, teach you how to practice for the teacher." Mu Yi said.

"Yes, Master." Jiang Xiaoyu's face was full of ecstasy, he could finally cultivate, and he still worshipped Mu Yi as his teacher, and his mother had recovered, he felt that he had no regrets in this life.

"On the path of cultivation, there are four major difficulties, one is difficult to move, two is difficult to sense, three is difficult to get out of the body, and four is difficult to see God, but now you only need to understand the first difficulty first."

"The so-called heartbeat does not really make you excited, on the contrary, this difficulty is to make you surrender your heart and fix your heart, so it is difficult to move your heart, it can also be called difficult to move, no matter what messy thoughts, you can't shake your heart, so it can be regarded as a real entry."

Mu Yi said unhurriedly, and Jiang Xiaoyu listened attentively, for fear of missing a word, and in his feeling, he could immediately understand all that his master said, as if it was directly imprinted in his heart.

Time passed slowly, in the courtyard, two figures, one large and one small, stood in the center, the figures were gradually elongated, and in the house, there was also a figure standing at the door, silent, without making any movement, but if you open the door, you will see that there are two lines of tears on her face.

"Okay, it's not early, you should rest early, what I just taught you, don't be in a hurry to start practicing, wait until you feel about the same, it's not too late to start."

Finally, when the first three difficult levels were all explained, Mu Yi stopped, explaining so much at one time, no matter how smart Jiang Xiaoyu was, it was impossible to understand them all at once, so Mu Yi directly used the method of mental induction, and directly imprinted these things in his heart, even if it was a long time, every time he thought about it, it would be as clear as tonight.

And once he decided to accept Jiang Xiaoyu as an apprentice, Mu Yi would naturally teach him with all his might, and he definitely didn't just talk about it.

"Master, but I think I'll know it all." Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but say, although he knew that the master was for his good, he still couldn't help but want to hurry up and practice, he had waited for this day, he had waited too long, and he couldn't wait.

"Forgot what I just told you? Don't let cluttered thoughts affect your state of mind, wait for when you really feel like you can do it, and when you really start again. Mu Yi's voice had a hint of sternness.

Jiang Xiaoyu was suddenly silent, as if a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and his restless heart immediately settled down.

"Master, I was wrong."

"Your mood is understandable for the teacher, but practice, the most taboo is impetuous, your experience over the years, as a teacher, I believe that you can naturally understand, all the great truths, are not as profound as your own experience, when you are impetuous, you might as well think more about your previous experience." Mu Yi said again.

"Yes, Master." Jiang Xiaoyu was convinced, and he was not dissatisfied at all because of the reprimand, because he knew very well that Mu Yi said that it was all for his good.

"Well, get some rest early."

After speaking, Mu Yi turned around and went back to his room.

After waiting for Mu Yi to leave, Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, his eyes became firm again, and he secretly swore in his heart, "Master, don't worry, I will not let you down again." ”

Night, in a blink of an eye, after the second half of the night, although the lock of the wheel of life in the body has not been loosened, but Mu Yi is content, but he is not in a hurry, teaching Jiang Xiaoyu last night is actually teaching himself.

Once upon a time, even he himself forgot the simplest truths, he advised Jiang Xiaoyu not to be anxious, not to be impetuous, but how could he not be like this? Although this is only the first difficulty, it also runs through the entire practice, so it does not mean that after passing it, you will never have to worry about it again.

On the contrary, with the improvement of strength, the requirements for the state of mind are also more demanding, and now Mu Yi has lost this state of mind on the one hand is related to his injury and has not healed, and the other is also related to the fact that his strength has improved too quickly, even if he thinks that no matter how solid the foundation is, it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be taken care of.

Fortunately, it's not too late to find out, and this injury may be a good thing for him.
