I was led down the mountain by Master and Senior Brother.

But on the way down, I was a little stupid, and it was clear that I hadn't been able to fully digest some of the facts.

I received a normal education when I was ten years old, even if there were some things I had been vaguely exposed to, such as the experience of that terrifying cave when I was a child, and there was a person who was already very vague - Aunt Yun, who seemed to let me see the ghost that suddenly appeared.

I also know that the mountain gate where I am, what I learn, and what I talk about are a little weird.

But people have an ostrich mentality, some things are clear at the time, and after some days, they will comfort themselves that what they may see is not true, that may be due to various reasons, that may be explainable, that is, once they are far away from their own lives, things that seem to be unexplainable become uncertain, or even ambiguous.

At this time, the mentality is shaken, seven points do not believe, three points believe, and it always needs some more firm things in front of me to appear in ordinary life, so that they can completely change their stubborn views.

That's the kind of mentality I have.

And Master has no scruples about saying that he is secretly already changing my mentality.

I suddenly remembered Brother Zhengchuan's words - the three words before the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes of cultivators.

So what is a cultivator?

I didn't even think there was anything wrong with my life even after three years in the mountains? It's like a Taoist person, no matter what he cultivates, that skill is always the foundation! The components of power are complex, but simply put, they are nothing more than a strong soul and body.

Where does the power come from, it naturally comes from the 'qi', and each true Dao sect inheritance has its own unique method of practicing qi.

When I was practicing the Qi method, the first time I had a sense of qi was after I had been hungry for three days, and at that time, I also found a good reason for myself.

It's like, it's the internal strength in martial arts novels, isn't it also about internal training?

But this qi and the other qi are completely different, this is the concept that I only learned later, the martial arts practice is a breath, pay attention to the time of fighting, the breath is endless, the so-called internal strength is the basis of endurance.

The qi practiced by the Taoists is the qi of heaven and earth absorbed by the body when it breathes, as well as the wisp of innate qi that has been hidden in the human dantian.

Only when the physical body is pure can the soul spiritual consciousness be grown and more in tune with the physical body.

Essentially, it's a big difference.

However, Master didn't explain this qiē to me before, so I like to think that what is is what it is, right? Later, Brother Zhengchuan told me that this is a step-by-step psychological guidance, because I don't know what I'm practicing, but it's easier to enter the state of ethereal mind.

Because there is no expectation, there is naturally no burden, step by step, and the practice of a clean mind is.

But many years later, Brother Zhengchuan also said that my practice, Master had deliberately adjusted, and it was a rather strange practice, and I began to enter the practice of Qi without practicing meditation.

However, only I can do that!

As for why it can? None of them sued me for what was the answer? In the year when I first went down the mountain, I never really faced my own situation, my identity, my own learning, and my own world had changed.

In this regard, Master also made an explanation, it is not necessarily a good thing to know too early, people will become sensitive!

But the question is, what is sensitive? When it came to dying, Yiqiē seemed to be still shrouded in a heavy fog, as if Master and Senior Brother, everyone was creating a 'Truman's world' for me, the self-righteous world in the movie.

Why?

Because I was shocked, I actually went down the mountain in this trance, and I just subconsciously followed the master and brother along the way, and even walked for a long time, until I almost fell into the water when I jumped over a rushing stream, and was pulled by Brother Zhengchuan.

"What do you think?" Masakawa's tone was a little reproachful.

"It's amazing to think about this world." My head was a little dizzy, remembering a TV series I watched when I was a child, and I used to be very fascinated by the TV series "Fengshen Bang" that was broadcast all over the country.

Could it be that qiē is all true?! I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask, for fear that as soon as Brother Masakawa answered, the world in front of me would become strange.

"It's not as magical as you think, and some things are good to get used to. It's like, Master always talks to us about the rivers and lakes, when have you and I met? It doesn't matter what you learn, life isn't the same? What's the difference? Brother Zhengchuan sighed appropriately.

But the Master looked back at us and said meaningfully, "What will happen to life, is something that no one dares to be sure?" Zhengling, have you forgotten the word "inaction" that Master Jì sued you? If the heart is at peace, it is okay to do nothing, but why not do nothing? ”

Why not do nothing?! I was like I was blown away, what kind of clean and pure state of mind is this? It seems to be completely defenseless, but in fact this is the strongest heart.

Because of inaction, what is there to worry about? Confused?!

At that moment, I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the mountain scenery that I didn't see instantly became vivid, and the depression in my heart also dissipated, and I began to experience the excitement of going down the mountain, and suddenly, the whole person opened his eyebrows and smiled.

"Stinky boy, it's really childish! How can he be the junior brother of a man like me? Brother Zhengchuan sighed with emotion.

"Are you a vicissitudes of life? Only a man like me can read the dust and precipitation of the years, Xianxian didn't see me, otherwise he would definitely fall in love at first sight. Master glanced at Brother Zhengchuan, and then said unusually sternly.

Brother Masakawa and I looked at each other, and then made a 'vomit' look at the same time.

"Bastard!" The master was demolished on the spot, and he couldn't hold his face, so he scolded and kicked me and Brother Zhengchuan who tried to escape.

Compared to going up, it is much easier to go down.

We stepped out of the mountain gate at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and by 11 o'clock in the evening, we had already walked out of the vast Qinling Mountains.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, it was dark, I remember that when I entered the mountain a few years ago, there were some residents at the foot of the mountain, but at this point in time, it is normal that there are no human lights.

At the foot of the mountain is an extended dirt road, we descend the mountain by a path at the bottom of the mountain, and then to the end of the dirt road, I know that the end of the dirt road is a village, but I don't know where the end of the dirt road leads?

So the question arises, I can't think about how we can spend the night in this place where there is no village in front of me and no store in the back? It's better to be in the mountains, at least find a place to block the wind, and you don't have to sleep on the road like this, right?

I was a little anxious when I thought about it like this, but the master and brother were in the presence of the old god, and as soon as they put down the big bag of luggage, they sat on the ground.

"Master, are you just spending the night here?" Judging by their posture, could they really be sleeping on the road?

"Why not spend the night here?" Master's voice was never right, and as soon as he sat down, he took out his pipe and put it in his mouth.

Down the mountain, the master doesn't drink, the baby's yellow wine gourd, can only be regrettably placed on the mountain, I asked Brother Zhengchuan on the way why, Brother Zhengchuan said that he is not too clear, but I remember vaguely related to the master's past.

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to see the three of us sleeping on the road when the day dawned.

I am dignified Ye Zhengling, the well-known boss in the school, and I really can't afford to lose this face.

At this time, Brother Zhengchuan pulled me and made me sit comfortably on the duffel bag, and said with a smile: "Do you think that Master will seriously answer our questions at other times except for schoolwork?" Wait patiently, who said they were going to spend the night here? ”

"Patiently waiting?" I don't understand the meaning of Brother Zhengchuan's words, in this dark light, there is no place in front of the village and no store in the back, what are we waiting for?

But Zhengchuan didn't answer, took out dry food and water from his backpack, and then pulled me and Master to share it together.

I was really hungry, devouring food, and when I was full, I began to lean on my duffel bag and doze off in a daze.

After all, in the mountains, life is extremely regular, and going to bed after 11 o'clock is unthinkable unless the evening class is not completed.

Soon, I was confused, but in a daze, I felt Master's rough hand on my head, and I vaguely heard him say with a smile: "This stinky boy, it's really good to be at home for a thousand days, go out, don't do anything, you have to hone and hone yourself." ”

Although he said this, the kind of doting in his words was very clear, and he didn't show it like this when I was jumping around.

It was accompanied by the chuckle of the senior brother, and the smell of the rising smoke of the master, mixed with the thermos cup he brought down the mountain, and when opened, the hot tea in the cup.

When Master smokes a pipe, if conditions permit, he will always drink a cup of tea, this smell is almost the most familiar smell in the evening class, and it will accompany me until my eyes are hazy, smelling this smell, I feel more at ease, I don't feel cold at night, and I want to sleep even more.

And at this moment, there was a crisp sound of bells in the distance, and the unusually rhythmic sound of horses' hooves of 'tap, tap'.
