In the next ten days, Long Yang's footprints walked all over the mountain, every day as if he was enchanted, looking at it in his eyes and whispering something in his mouth. Look at this and look at that, compare left and right, think before and think after. Looking at Long Yang's appearance, Jin Shan was a little anxious.

Let this child be okay and don't ask me questions, so that he can observe more, think more, and talk less. But it's always like this, don't be stunned, Jin Shan can't hold it back.

"Long Yang, how are you studying lately?" The rules were set by himself, but Jin Shan still couldn't pull his face, so he opened his mouth on the grounds of asking about the study situation.

"Oh, Master, I'm fine now, it's very interesting on this mountain." Long Yang came to his senses and replied.

"Interesting? What's interesting to talk about? Jin Shan was also intrigued by Long Yang's words.

"Our village is surrounded by mountains, and you can see from the top of the hill that our village is surrounded by five mountains. These mountains are of different heights and sizes, and they seem to have no regularity, just a few mountains, but in fact they are tangible. Long Yang paused, walked to the top of the mountain and looked out.

"Go on." Jin Shan was anxious to know what Long Yang had discovered, urging Long Yang to quickly tell the result.

"If you have been in the mountains, you will not see their magic, and you can only know the secret by standing on the top of the mountain and observing it carefully. Look, Master! Long Yang pointed to several other peaks, and Jin Shan hurriedly looked in the direction of Long Yang's finger.

"Stinky boy, isn't it a mountain! Isn't it lazy during this time, why haven't I seen anything special? Jin Shan rubbed his eyes, still didn't see anything strange, and couldn't help but say.

"Master, let's first look at the mountain on our right, which is not like the index finger on our hand, it is far away from us and separated from us. Then comes the middle finger, the highest of the five mountains; Then there is the index finger, which is attached to the middle finger; Then there is the little finger, which is small and straight; Finally, there is the thumb we stand, which is relatively thick and low, but it is the eldest of the five mountains. These five mountains are clearly five fingers, and I guess they should be five finger peaks. And our village is located in the palm of its hand, which is not only inescapable, but also safe and quiet. Long Yang pointed to the peaks one by one and told Jin Shan about his observations.

Jin Shan on the side was already stunned, he had lived on this mountain for so many years, and he didn't even notice about it. Listening to Long Yang's narration, he gradually understood some things and unlocked some secrets of the Jin clan hidden deep here.

"No wonder my father said this, so it was!" The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Jin Shan couldn't help but say a word.

"Master, you said father, who is your father?" Long Yang heard Jin Shan's distracted words, and his heart was full of doubts. Although he was young, he had never heard about Jin Shan's father from the time he came into contact with Jin Shan or from the chatter of the people in the village. It is said that Jin Shan's parents died when he was a child, why did he think of his father when he heard about the five peaks?

"You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything." Jin Shan came back to his senses and looked at Long Yang.

This kid is really unusual, seeing him walk around the mountains all day, I don't see how he observes other conditions, he actually observes other mountains. The most important thing is that he has not forgotten the mountain under his feet, and what is especially valuable is that he also connected the five peaks, and thought of the five finger peaks, untying the knot in my heart for decades.

It is commendable for such a young child to be able to observe things and consider problems from the macro situation. I wonder what he saw on this mountain again?

Long Yang was seen by Jin Shan that his scalp was numb, how could he look at people like this, he was like a treasure, Jin Shan's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Master, what's wrong with you, how do I think you want to swallow me." Long Yang took two steps back.

"Hehe, what do you see from the mountain at our feet?" Jin Shan consciously lost his temper and smiled awkwardly.

"This mountain?"

"Yes, the mountain beneath your feet."

"It's a strange mountain." Long Yang replied.

"Weird? What's weird? ”

"I can't say the specifics, it's as if it suddenly lost something, and became weak, sick, and desolate."

"You child, winter is coming, plants and animals will rest, the vitality here will be hidden, and in the spring, it will be full of vigor again." Jin Shan thinks that Longyang is still a child after all, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the change of the four seasons, this is a normal thing.

"Master, what you said Long Yang understands. Winter is here, the leaves are withering, the flowers and plants are yellow, and the animals are hibernating. Winter is over, spring will come again, trees grow, flowers sprout, and small animals come out to feed. I see this every year, and I teach it in our school, it's a natural law. But that's not what I'm talking about. ”

"Not this, not this?" Jin Shan was also confused, this kid's mind was full of ideas, and he was different from others. Perhaps it is these differences that allow him to see what others can't see and understand secrets that others can't reach.

"I feel like what this mountain has lost will not come back." Long Yang said abruptly.

"What do you say! The lost vitality will not come back?! Jin Shan rushed to Long Yang, grabbed Long Yang's collar tightly, and stared at Long Yang tightly with shocked eyes.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you? You let go! Long Yang grabbed Jin Shan's hand and kept shaking it to get rid of it, but Jin Shan's hand did not relax at all, but grabbed it tighter and tighter, and his eyes widened and widened.

Long Yang was frightened and shouted in horror Master. Could it be that he said something wrong, why did Jin Shan react so much, and what does this have to do with him? Long Yang didn't have time to think about it so much, he just hoped that Jin Shan could let go of himself quickly.

After a while, Jin Shan finally let go of his hand, stunned, his eyes were blank, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Long Yang didn't dare to disturb Jin Shan, silently withdrew five or six meters, looking at Jin Shan from a distance, he couldn't figure out why?

Neither of them was speechless, one full of horror and doubt, the other full of guilt and uneasiness.

Jin Shan's eyes flowed with tears, and tears silently slipped down his wrinkled face and quietly seeped into the land. Just like this old man, there is no trace.

Jin Shan seemed to be much older, and his eyes were confused. Maybe he is a normal old man now, no longer the crazy old man who was crazy and sloppy and drunk like his life.

Long Yang walked over, wiped Jin Shan's tears with his sleeve, and then sat down side by side with Jin Shan. Long Yang knew that now was not the time to speak, some things could not be asked, and some things did not need to be asked.

"Scared you, didn't you?" Jin Shan said hoarsely.

"Master, I'm fine." Long Yang replied.

"Don't you want to know why I'm like this?" Jin Shan turned his head to look at Long Yang.

"If Master wants to say something, he will tell Long Yang."

"Yes, you're right. Now that you're young, it's better that you don't know something. When you learn the skills and have a certain ability, I will tell you all. ”

"Yes, Master."

"Tell me how you knew the mountain was losing its spirituality and life." Jin Shan cleaned up his mood, sorted out his thoughts, and asked Long Yang again.

"In the beginning, I was just looking at the specific things on the mountain, looking at their characteristics, understanding their existence. For the first five days, I had memorized all these things on the mountain, including the name, shape, function, and growing environment. For the next four days, I looked out of the mountain and found something about the Five Finger Peak, but I haven't gotten confirmation from you. I wanted to ask you for advice today, but as soon as I entered the mountain, I felt that the mountain was different. At first, I didn't know what the difference was, so I carefully compared everything to the previous one, and they were missing that, yes, you said spirituality and vitality. If you want me to be specific, I can't say it. Long Yang seriously reported what he knew to Jin Shan. Because of Jin Shan's reaction, Long Yang felt that these should be useful to him.

"Well, Long Yang, you're really great. Maybe it's subtle, maybe you're looking out of the mountains, or you'd have noticed it a few days earlier. It's really not easy for you to stabilize your emotions and clear your mind. Jin Shan praised Long Yang, and also revealed his satisfaction. Jin Shan stood up and walked to the highest point of the mountain. This time he didn't look out of the mountain, but behind the mountain.

Just watched, motionless. Long Yang also followed behind Jin Shan, looking at Jin Shan's back, he could also see the back of the mountain.

What's behind the mountain?

There is a cave behind the mountain.

What's in the cave?

In the cave there are the coffins of the old patriarchs.

These Long Yang knew, but he didn't know what Jin Shan was looking at or thinking.

Although Long Yang has worshiped Jin Shan as his teacher, and has been getting along with each other since his apprenticeship, in Long Yang's heart, Jin Shan is still a mystery, and he is still a mystery.
