Chapter 6: The Wind and the Leaves
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, the sun was about to set, and the sky was full of light, as if sketched by a peerless painter, which can be called a stunning painting.
Jie Scar looked at the sky, knew that the hour was almost up, and left the academy and headed deep into the mountains.
The path that has been walked countless times, Jiechen is very familiar, but this time, Jiechen feels a little different, as if someone is waiting for him on the road, although there is no malice, Jiechen is still a little cautious and vigilant.
Walking to the middle of the road, which is a fork in the road, three roads are connected to each other, there is an old man, standing there, with a kind face, exuding an approachable atmosphere, he is a big bone, the old island owner.
Jiechen stopped ten feet away from the old island lord and did not speak, Jiechen knew that the entire old man in front of him was coming for him.
"Son, can you talk to me?" said the old owner. No majesty pervades, like the old man next door, a small request.
"Hmm. Jie Scar was silent for a few breaths, and finally nodded.
The old island owner walked to the third road, followed by Jieji, although he was smarter than his peers and was born with wisdom, but he also lacked training, and he was defenseless against people and things. It also happens that the old island owner has no ill will towards Jieji.
Jie Ji followed the old island owner, the sky was already a little dark, and there was only one corner of the sky left, reflecting the sky, forming a colorful glow in the sky.
The old island lord took Jieji to a wood, the trees here were a little different, each tree was the same, obviously the same kind of tree, the leaves of each tree were green, like amber, dazzling green, with a little snow, which made Jiechen look amazing.
I haven't been here before, and I haven't seen this kind of tree yet, although I've been on Wind Leaf Island for a while, but it's nothing more than an activity in the mountains, going to the school to listen to classes, and not setting foot in other areas.
In the woods, there are a few stones that have become smooth after years and rain, and one can sit on them and rest.
The old island lord sat down on the stone, pointed to the next place, and motioned for the scar to sit there. Jie Scar cautiously walked over to the stone and sat down.
"Kids. The old island owner stretched out his hand and touched the head of the scar, his face full of kindness. Jieji didn't avoid it, and the old island owner's kind appearance made him let down his defense.
"Uh,...... You call me...... What are you doing?" Jie Scar's eyes were bright and clear, his little face was like a blank piece of paper, without any other thoughts, very intriguing, with simple questions.
"I've seen it all when you're listening to a lecture in the school. The old owner smiled, the wrinkles on his face were the marks of time, but his appearance was amiable, so that Jie Scar did not reject him.
"Oh. Jie replied. I can't guess the old island owner's thoughts, I don't know if he will be driven away and banned, don't let him go to the school to listen to the class secretly, going to the school to listen to the class is the most important thing for Jiechen to do now, if you don't let him go to the class, what should I do?
Jieji's heart was very entangled, and his thoughts were all written on his face, defenseless. The old island owner saw it in his eyes, as the oldest person on Fengye Island, he could see the entanglement in Jieji's heart at a glance.
"Don't be afraid, child, I don't blame you, I also told them not to drive you away, so that you were secretly listening to the class. The old island owner's tone was calm, and Jie Zhen let down his guard, and his little face with frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed.
"Really? Thank you...... You. "Although he has learned a lot of languages, he has barely spoken to people, so he is not very good at speaking.
"You want to learn so much, I'll teach you a lesson today, how about it, kid. The old island lord said, looking at Jieji, waiting for his answer, he called Jiechen here, the purpose was to teach Jiechen a lesson, a lesson in life.
"Good...... All right. "Jetmark is now very hungry for knowledge, like an arid wasteland, desperately for the rain to moisten.
"Hmm. The old island owner nodded, put his hand on Jiechen's shoulder, looked at the surrounding trees, and said, "Look, the tree here, this tree is called the Wind Leaf Tree, so the tree is called the Wind Leaf Tree." ”
"This island is called Fengye. Jie Zhen listened to the old island master's words and thought in his heart.
"Wait...... You see. As soon as the old island lord's words fell, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, and a strange scene appeared, and the leaves of the wind-leaved tree were blown by the wind, like a huge dragon formed of leaves flying, moving with the wind.
Jet's eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise, shocked by the scene, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the leaves of the wind-leaved tree moving with the wind.
The wind blows the earth, and the leaves of the wind-leaf trees rise with it, and then go into the distance, and only the wind and the leaves know what the purpose is.
After a short time, a strong wind blew and rolled up the leaves, or the leaves rose with them, and they went away into the distance together, not knowing what the purpose was.
"See, child? The leaves of this wind-leaved tree are very light, and the connection between the leaves and the branches is not tight, and when the wind blows, it will go away with the wind. ”
"However, you look at the leaves of the departed windleaf tree, the wind blows them to other places, they fall to the earth, they will still contribute their own value, melt into the soil, moisten the earth, turn into nutrients, and finally because of the strong absorption power of the roots of the windleaf tree, they will return to this windleaf tree, child, do you understand?" After the old island master finished speaking, he looked at Jieji, hoping that Jiechen would understand.
This strange scene of heaven and earth touched Jiechen's heart again, and the door of Jiechen's brain seemed to open more.
The sky, the golden crow returns to the mountain, the moon rabbit hangs in the sky, the stars dot the night sky, the moonlight is faint, scattered on the earth.
Wind Leaf Island, Wind Leaf Forest, the wind blows, the wind blows the Wind Leaf Tree, blows up pieces of leaves, flutters in the sky, drifts into the distance, and finally returns to the earth, moistens the soil, silently serves as nourishment, dedicates oneself, and helps the Wind Leaf Tree grow new leaves.
This has the meaning of reincarnation, and also the meaning of the avenue of living in the world, and the small place reflects the principle of heaven and earth, which makes people enlightened.
Jie Zhen's eyes are bright, and his eyes seem to be pregnant with a starry sky, containing endless wisdom, able to see through the thousands of red dust in the world, and comprehend all reincarnation.
Jiechen seems to understand the world better, and is closer to this world, just like all the rules and avenues of this world recognize him, and it seems that Jiechen is recognized by this world and truly becomes a member of the rolling red dust of this world.
He is not quite understanding, he has a normal mind, surpassing his peers, comparable to adults, the world is full of states, in the eyes of Jieji, it is not simple, but a line intersecting, chaotic and complex.
The worldview has changed, Jie Zhen originally thought that the world was just a blank paper, just a deep mountain, just a school, just Wind Leaf Island, however, now the world in Jie Zhen's eyes is a vast picture scroll, he only sees Wind Leaf Island, a small corner.
It's a long story, but only a quarter of an hour has passed, and at this moment, Jiechen's temperament has suddenly changed, grown up, matured, and transformed.
The past, scene after scene flashed in Jieji's mind and eyes, he was enlightened, he was growing, all the malice and kindness, he saw it, and understood it.
An enlightenment is very fast, but it makes Jie Ke remember and benefit for a lifetime, which will be of great help to him in the future, whether it is the heart of cultivation or the meaning of existence.
"I understand, old man, I won't do anything to hurt Fengye Village, you can rest assured. I won't forget the grace of Fengye Village. "Jie Scar has transformed, no longer a child, although the body is five or six years old, but the mind surpasses peers, comparable to adults, and in time the mind will be close to the demon.
"Hmm. The old island master nodded. But there were turbulent waves in his heart, and he could clearly feel the great transformation of Jieji, and the temperament of the whole person was different.
"If it's okay, I'll go first. Jie Scar smiled slightly, very polite, like a nimble ape, jumped into the forest, and soon disappeared from the sight of the old island master.
"Alas. "The old island master sat on the stone, I don't know if it is right to bring Jieji here to understand, he clearly feels the transformation of Jieji's temperament, he is also a cultivator, this talent can be called a demon.
Jiechen jumped between the trees, he was very excited, as if he had obtained some treasure, that is, enlightenment, but, Jiechen felt, this time, he faintly understood the truth of heaven and earth, belonging to his own heaven and earth, but at this moment, he can't understand, can't understand, heaven and earth are in his heart, waiting for the next transformation, Jiechen will come up with it, this wind and leaves, belong to his own perception of the truth of heaven and earth.
