Xia Qin smiled and said no, and continued to walk forward.

There is really everything on this island, and when you go out of the way in front, it is a clear spring, and behind the spring is a stone wall that is not high or high, and some flowers and plants grow on the top of the stone wall, and there are vines hanging on the stone wall.

The spring is down to a stream, no wider and deeper than the size of a fist, and it is very bright and clear.

Along the stream down, about 20 meters away is a clear pool, the pond is surrounded by a stone, the east side is paved with bluestone, and there are several stone piers on it.

Xia Qin sat on the top of the stone pier: "It's here." ”

Pan Wu looked around: "It's a good place." ”

"Of course. Xia Qin said: "But it's a little fresh when I first came, wait until the last thirty or fifty years, and then I'll see it." ”

Pan Wu sat opposite: "No, how fulfilling your life is." ”

Xia Qin was amused by Pan Wu: "That's what I said." Then he spoke: "Best is looking for a woman here, and has been encouraging me, what about you, do you want to find a woman too?"

While talking, Best came over with a bunch of things, and Xia Qin also went to the edge of the waterhole to fish out a basket.

Best put things on the ground, and Xia Qin took out two jars of wine from the basket: "It's not the kind of light wine in the kitchen, it's brought back from outside." ”

Open the lid of the altar and pour out three bowls: "Taste." ”

Pan Wu smiled: "It's completely upside down." ”

"What's upside down?"

Pan Wu spoke: "When you're outside, don't you have to drink as much as you want? It's okay to take a shower, but it's hard to drink when you come here?"

Best shook his head: "It's different, there are few people here, and the things you think about and do are very different from those outside." ”

Pan Wu said the same, raised his glass and drank it.

It's nothing more than some mixed vegetables, cold vegetables, meat dishes, with spirits, in the outside world, such a meal costs less than two taels of silver, but as the two masters of the people, they eat exceptionally fragrant.

When drinking, they always have to talk, talking about mermaids, and Best said that the sect they believe in has a record, and there is a country in the deep sea, which was founded by those merfolk.

"Can they talk, will they be as smart as we are?"

"I don't know, the book says there is, but I haven't seen it. "There are always people who want to explore, there are people who have gone down, and those who come back are all conclusive and tell a lot, and the devil knows whether it's true or not." ”

"What about you?"

"I've also gone down and been injured, so I don't believe those people talking nonsense at all, with my cultivation, I can only run for my life in a hurry, don't talk about them. ”

Although he only said a few words, Pan Wu was a little more interested in the deep sea world.

Do you drink, you always have to talk nonsense, mentioned the matter of the mermaid twice, and talked about the king again. Xia Qin raised his bowl and said, "This cup is dedicated to the king." ”

Pan Wu drank a bowl before saying, "Let's have a bowl." ”

Xia Qin smiled for a moment, and then said, "Sometimes, do you think cranky?"

What does Pan Wu mean by asking?

Xia Qin looked at Qingtan: "I have been practicing since I was a child, I have worshiped a total of seven masters, and Master Wang is the seventh, and so far, all seven masters have left." ”

Bai Sien sighed: "Sometimes, I feel that cultivation is quite boring. ”

Pan Wu hurriedly nodded.

Best smiled at him, "I really thought so. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gestured outward: "There is a huge island, a big land, and we are the most powerful people in the world, but what about it? Wang Shi is so powerful that he can't escape death, and we are even more like this, we are practicing hard every day, what is the plan?"

Pan Wu thought seriously for a moment: "Don't you have a sect?"

"It's because there are sects and beliefs that I'm even more confused. "Baisi spoke: "There are many gods in the place where we live, the most powerful is the gods, the masters of the past generations are the apostles of the gods, they say that as long as we practice sincerely and believe in the gods, we can ascend to heaven in the future, but it is a pity that ......"

Xia Qin answered and said to Pan Wudao: "You may not know about our side of the matter, in our place, the Heavenly God is the greatest, and all the cultivation masters must join the Heavenly God Sect, like the two of us, it is a heresy." ”

"You also have an eighth-level master over there, a ninth-level master?"

"There must be, but there are not many, and there doesn't seem to be a ninth-level master, and it's for this reason that we came to Tianji Pavilion. Xia Qin spoke: "I also want to see all kinds of magic in the Eastern Continent." ”

"Has anyone ever seen a god?"

"Of course not. Best sneered: "I've always doubted the existence of the gods, you said that if there really are gods, like the two of us, shouldn't they be killed?"

"Maybe the gods don't want to deal with you, thinking you are too small. ”

Bai Si smiled: "There are also immortal legends in the Eastern Continent, as well as the way of ghosts and gods, and many people practice, so, have you ever seen ghosts and gods?"

The three of them raised the bar while drinking, which was very cool. After drinking the two jars of spirits, Best got up and said, "I'm going home, you guys talk." "Pat your ass and walk away.

Xia Qin also got up: "I'm going too." "Go in the other direction.

Pan Wu sat for a while, put away the leftovers, washed the dishes with the help of the downstream stream, and put them in order before leaving.

The white crocodile became more and more lazy, jumped on Pan Wu's body, and had to carry it if he didn't hug it.

After drinking some wine, walking around casually, I remembered what Baisi said, yes, what is the purpose of practicing all your life?

If you are a low-level cultivator, you still have the opportunity to be prominent in front of people, but after you have cultivated to the seventh level, you are basically reluctant to appear in front of people, and the higher you cultivate, the more you know that you have to work hard.

Although you may not be able to prolong your life if you practice, you will definitely die early if you don't practice.

It's just that the vast majority of practitioners fail to achieve their goals.

Walking around, about two hours have passed, and just when Pan Wu wanted to find the way back, he felt that this place was a little familiar.

Walking along the road, I soon came to the mountain behind the Elders' Hall.

At the bottom of the hillside was a row of wooden houses, and in one of them sat a big man at the door, with a lot of wood under his feet and wood in his hands.

Tang Shi said that this person's name is Lu Zu, and he is the longest-lived person in the entire Tianji Pavilion, as if he is more than one hundred and thirty years old?

Holding the white crocodile, he walked over and watched Lu Zu knife the wood.

If a person has been carving wood for many years in a row, he must be very familiar with it, all the details are in his mind, and he must be very quick when he goes under the knife.

Lu Zu has been carving wood, but the knife is very slow, one knife at a time, slowly carving, although it is coherent and uninterrupted, but the movement is very slow.

Pan Wu just stood and watched, looking at Lu Zu's slowness.

Lu Zu had already smiled at Pan Wu, but after so much time, Pan Wu still didn't leave?

After carving more than a dozen times, Lu Zu put down the carving knife and wood: "Something?"

Pan Wu said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I saw that you were very attentive to carving things, and I looked at it for a while before I knew it." ”

"Do you like this?" Lu Zu pointed to a piece of wood.

Pan Wu shook his head: "I don't understand this, it's because I see that you are carving very seriously." ”

Lu Zu was silent for a moment, then got up and moved: "People must move appropriately." ”

Pan Wu said yes.

Lu Zu is either practicing, or moving his body at will, it looks slow, but it is very strange, obviously the very slow movements make Pan Wu feel full of vitality.

Pan Wu was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.

Lu Zu moved for a while, stood in front of Pan Wu and asked, "Do you think I'm a waste of time?"

Pan Wu thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think." ”

Lu Zu smiled: "I didn't understand your words until I was forty years old, how old are you this year?"

Pan Wu calculated carefully: "If you say, I forgot my age, do you believe it?"

"Believe, because I don't know how old I am. Lu Zu said: "Anyway, I'm over 100 years old, and they say I'm more than 130, so I'm more than 130." ”

Pan Wu pondered: "Is it true that cultivators forget their age?"

"No one forgets their age, but they suddenly get old, and they stubbornly think that they are still young, and they begin to deliberately forget, and the cultivator is lonely, and when they come down slowly, they naturally can't know how old they really are. ”

Pan Wu thought for a while: "I'm different from what you said, I really forgot how big it is." ”

"yes. Lu Zu didn't argue with him, he began to move his legs and feet again, and stretched a few more waists: "Few people say so much to me, what do you like, I'll carve one for you." ”

Pan Wu replied with a smile: "Don't bother, thank you." ”

Lu Zu looked at the white crocodile: "That's it." "Sit back on the stool and pick up another piece of wood.

Whether you're painting or sculpting, the first thing you need to do is take a closer look. Lu Zu simply glanced at the white crocodile a few times, and then began to carve, which is enough to show how good his mind is and how good his memory is.

Seeing that Lu Zu began to carve things again, Pan Wu thought about it, bowed lightly, and walked up the steps.

This was the first road he had walked to the Tianji Pavilion, a short distance up was the Elders' Hall, and across the room and courtyard was the kitchen.

Since you're here, it's time to go to the kitchen to find some food to bring home.

There is no one in the house, Si Qi is not there, and the big fat rabbit will not come back.

Putting down the white crocodile, Pan Wu went to the carpet and meditated cross-legged.

There were many things that happened this day, and everything touched his heart. Don't say the words that Master Tang said when he was teaching, and don't say that the snapping turtle went to the island, but Master Wang, who has superb cultivation, died of old age like this?

Cultivators! The top few cultivators in the world are actually old and dead? In that case, what is the use of cultivation, as Bai Si said?

followed by Bai Si and Xia Qin to drink, those two people were not addicted to alcohol, and it was also because of the death of Wang Shi that they were dispatched, so that the three of them could drink some wine that they couldn't figure out and say something they couldn't figure out.

The conversation didn't help me in any way, although I was in a slightly better mood. But after drinking, I felt even more lonely, and I felt how helpless Wang Shi's departure was.

Seeing Lu Zu again, the oldest person on the island, it seemed that he was looking down on life and death, just doing the same thing every day, not talking to people, and not cultivating...... It seems that carving is his cultivation, but he is so lonely and so persistent, the so-called cultivation is to put himself in his own prison early?
