Chapter 825: Fate
Fang Tian listened quietly from beginning to end. -- He is a qualified listener.
I still remember the weaving of the net back then, and it is now the time to talk about it at night. Time is like water, always silent, and unconsciously, it is today. Two years ago he was a listener, and he still is. It's just that in the past two years, many things have been turned upside down in him.
Two years ago, he was a listener, and many times, he can only be a listener. Others, even if they have a heart, are powerless, and even themselves are in dire straits.
And now, he only needs to change his mind casually, and he can turn others upside down.
After listening to the words of the two, Fang Tian first said to Da Mu, who was talking about loneliness, "Da Mu, I don't know if you have ever observed the germination of a seed?"
Fang Tian's words were not unprovoked, because when the magician could sense the surroundings through the guΓ² element, for a period of time, it was natural to observe the surroundings carefully, just like when Fang Tian first came to this world, the grasses, trees, insects, birds, and the like around the Maple Forest Compound were all carefully observed by him.
There were a few bird's nests in the trees inside and outside the compound, and he knew much better than little ones like Little Berg and Little Dick who were jumping up and down all day!
Later, when he asked Andy Eric and others, he found that his behavior was really trivial. ββIt is clear how many branches a grass has, how many subsections there are, how many subsections there are at the beginning, and how many subsections it can grow in the end!
If there is any prize for nature observation in this world, it will be given to all the magicians.
After listening to Fang Tian's words, Da Mu was stunned at first, he didn't understand why Venerable was asking this. Unrelated looks. But he was only stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Growth of seeds. He had really seen it, but did he observe it or observe it carefully? Not necessarily.
Frankly speaking, since becoming a magic apprentice, his experience has really not been good, and he has fled several times, because there are always people who covet the magic inheritance in his hands, although they are only three or four level magicians, but at those times, he himself is only one or two levels!
And because of this experience, "peace of mind" or something. For him, most of the time it's just a luxury.
It wasn't until later, after being promoted to the fourth level, that the situation really changed. The so-called "observation of the growth of seeds" is also something that only happens after Level 4. At this time, hearing the Venerable Question, Da Mu felt a little aggrieved in his heart for a while: "Although I have briefly brought the experience of the first half of my life in a few words, but with your knowledge, Venerable, can't you guess it?"
But at this time, the south wind on the side. He nodded slightly.
Fang Tian also bowed his head slightly, facing the two of them, and then said, "In the past, I also carefully observed the growth of plants and trees. But at that time. I tend to look at things on the ground that can be seen with my eyes, such as small saplings thriving. How many new shoots can be sprouted in a day, such as grass swaggering in the wind. There can be a few drops of dew on a blade of grass in the morning. β
β...... That's what I'm interested in. β
"Later, though. Slowly, maybe I got tired of seeing too much, and I became interested in their roots and their seeds again. Especially when you think of such fresh and green grass, such a thriving small tree, and later a big tree, it usually starts from a seed. β
"I was thinking, what is the magical power of such a small seed that can support the continuous growth of life?"
"Later, I realized that every seed needs to break through the shell and break out of the soil to see the sun. Breaking the shell is to break through oneself, and breaking the ground is to break through the environment. Both of these are lonely, difficult and painful processes, and some seeds can't bear them, so they choose to be buried in the darkness all the time. β
What Fang Tian wanted to say was actually the last sentence.
And after saying this, without waiting for the two of them to react and think or something, Fang Tian changed the topic and chatted with the two about the impressive magicians he had seen in his life or something, just talked casually, and then Fang Tian sent the two away.
And looking at the backs of the two, Fang Tian was a little contemplative for a while.
The external growth environment of life is good and bad, the grass and trees are like this, and the people are like this, or in other words, the life between heaven and earth is like this from low to high, without exception.
Oki is one of the representatives of people who have a poor external growth environment.
Things in the world make people feel particularly helpless is that when life grows up in such an environment, it is not only necessary to pay for the poor environment itself, but also to pay for the distortion of personality caused by the poor environment, such as extreme, narrow-minded or weak, that is, double pay.
It's really unfair to say, but the truth is so cruel.
And even if the conditions improve in the future, after the external environment improves, the character shadows of many lives will still exist for a long time, and they will strictly restrict or affect the road after them.
To count this again, it is a triple buy order.
At this moment, Fang Tian once again remembered the essay "Hou Xuefu" in ancient China in his previous life.
Snow fell from the sky, fluttering and sprinkling, and everyone was the same. But after landing, there are all kinds of different situations.
Some of them have melted before they fall to the ground, and some of them have fallen to the sun, and they are stored for a short time, and they are only for a few days. Some fall on dirt roads, are exposed to the sun, and turn into mud together with the soil, making people frown or curse, some fall on good landscapes, which makes people admire, and some fall on the high mountains and snow mountains, becoming a crystal that will not be transformed for thousands of years.
This is talking about snow, but in fact it is talking about people, and the author is using snow as a metaphor for people. And Fang Tian now seems that what this prose says can be extended to a qiΔ life.
Unlike the unconscious of snow, conscious beings, because they are conscious, can not only bear the "luck of heaven", but also "change their lives against the sky". -- Looking at the past from this point of view, in fact, many lives have been changing their lives against the sky.
Or to go further, the greatest meaning of life may lie in going against the sky and changing one's life!
Looking at the past from a single life, it is "my life is up to me!"
From the perspective of life as a whole, it is "ten thousand kinds of frost and heaven compete for freedom!"
So acknowledging reality, basing ourselves on reality, and changing reality. is the most important thing to do in a life. A qiΔ complaining comes from not admitting it, whether it is self-pity. is still complaining, and they don't admit it. is unwilling, it is equivalent to shouting to the sky: "Why is it so unfair to me?!"
Of course, heaven will not answer him, or it can be said to answer him. -- Answer him with more unfairness.
Since you have given up the right to "change your life against the sky" given by heaven and earth, then honestly obey your life, like a stone, like a speck of dust, just look at other life, near and far around you. Constantly competing for life and growth, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly.
Some of them will fail, or even fall worse than you, but some of them will succeed, and eventually fly high above the nine heavens, swim in the vast sea, and experience the great breakthrough, great freedom, and great joy of life.
Then he opened his arms and embraced heaven and earth, and then closed his hands and rejoiced.
In fact, there were many things Fang Tian wanted to say to Da Mu just now. Because Da Mu's encounter is very similar to the encounter he had when he first came to this life. - Of course, he's in a better situation.
However, when he found that Oki didn't feel anything after listening to his words. Fang Tian decisively dispelled this thought, changed the topic, and really entered into small talk.
Maybe at this time. This gentleman may still be thinking in his heart, obviously he has the ability. Why don't you just point him out? Disappointment and even resentment are possible. But there's more to it than that. His words were originally aimed at Da Mu, but Da Mu heard the wind in his ears, but Nanfeng really heard it in his heart.
Break through yourself, break through the environment.
Nanfeng has always broken through himself, and he has not slackened, even if he has been stagnant at the sixth level for more than ten years and cannot be promoted, his cultivation can still be regarded as diligent.
But he, like Oki, was influenced by the external environment.
When he was young, he followed the guidance of his mentor, and after his mentor left, he was guided and promoted by many elders, and he was promoted to the sixth level all the way. But even after becoming a sixth-level magician, he still regarded himself as a small apprentice in his heart, just like the teacher accepted him as a disciple at the beginning of the year.
The problem is that he now has no one to follow.
The bigger problem is that he doesn't understand that when life grows to a certain stage, this shell of "following the same pace" will also have to be taken off.
In terms of seeds, the south wind has been trying to grow, but it has always been wrapped in a shell, and this shell, only a thin layer remains, and it only needs to be touched lightly to break. And his previous sentence was a "touch", judging from the situation, Nanfeng also felt it.
Thinking about the trade-off between "breaking through oneself" and "breaking through the environment", this magician will know where he lacks and where to break through.
If there are no accidents, it will not be long before it will break through the sixth level, be promoted to the seventh level, and unstoppable all the way, rushing straight to the ninth level.
If there is another chance in the future, it is not impossible to be promoted to the quasi-Dharma and even become a mage.
And Damu, the situation is not optimistic.
Fang Tian is not optimistic about its future.
If there is no accident, and it is a great accident, this person will spend the next ten years forcibly dragged into the sixth level, and end up at the sixth level for life. Not to mention advancing to the seventh level, even on the sixth level, it will be difficult for him to walk completely.
In other words, today the two are still companions, and the fifth and sixth levels are good friends.
On the other hand, the gap will increase day by day, until it is completely incomparable. One is always standing still, while the other, step by step, climbs high.
If there is no major change in the future, this will be the inevitable fate trajectory of the two. The trajectory of the former has been basically locked, and the trajectory of the latter depends on whether it can encounter another opportunity after advancing to the ninth level, either from itself or from the outside world.
And thinking about it like this, or looking at it, Fang Tian felt that this thing of fate was quite speechless.
When the two met him this time, it seemed to Da Mu that he had added another layer of unfairness on the basis of the previous unfairness. - He will see his old friend or old buddy turned upside down by this encounter, and he himself will remain the same.
It's just that what Fang Tian can do?
It was the same wind, some people were relaxed, and some people had a cold. -- That's just the way it is.
And it's just that Pingshui meets, and all Fang Tian can do is stop there. He could force his hand and turn Daki upside down, but there was no reason to do so. Therefore, between him and these two magicians, this is it.
The night passed quickly.
That night, all the caravan and up and down, except for the two little ones, who were so tired that they were asleep, did not sleep well, and the two magicians did not sleep at all. Da Mu's mind fluctuated all night, while Nanfeng was slightly excited, and he obviously had something in his heart.
And even so, the caravan packed up early.
Walking at night is the rule of walking in the desert in the world of Fang Tian's previous life.
It probably means that the sun is shining during the day, and the desert is a big steamer, so it is best to sleep at this time, and wait for the sun to set and the weather is cool, and then start walking. However, this rule only applies in a few places, especially on the edge of a small desert. Most of the time, it's still a day trip and a night's sleep.
However, it is possible to travel early in the daytime.
Just like now, according to the time of the previous life, it was only three or four o'clock in the morning, and as soon as the sky was shining, everyone packed up and set off.
It should be mentioned that the two magicians condensed water at this time, and the water production at one time was about enough for the entire caravan to use for a day.
Fang Tian casually asked the caravan leader Tie Damu, and he knew that only two high-level magicians (level five or six) could make water in such a luxurious way, and if the caravan only had one magician, or level three or four, they could only dig the ground and draw water from the ground.
However, even their caravans often dug the ground, about every ten or eight days, and made a pond for the caravan to bathe and wash clothes, and the camels could be happy.
Fang Tian nodded in understanding.
Walking in the desert for a long time, even if you are not thirsty, looking at the clear water, you will be refreshed.
Xiaodong Xiaoxi woke up with his eyes still worried, but the drowsiness quickly dissipated, the joy and excitement reappeared, running around Fang Tian like two deer, Fang Tian smiled slightly, and after throwing the two little guys into the sky and falling freely, he let the two start running.
Run on the ground.
Run in the "sea of pure elements".
Seeing that the eyes of many big men in the caravan were shining, and their faces were full of salivation, Fang Tian smiled and said to Tie Damu and the others: "If you are interested, you can also go in and move your hands and feet, but it is actually useless." β
Then, on the side, another "elemental pool" appeared that was moving with the caravan.
Fang Tian's words made the caravan very happy, they didn't care if it was useful or useless, except for the necessary people to pull the camel beast, everyone else ran in, and finally a big man boldly shouted to Fang Tian: "My lord, can you test my magic talent too?"
Fang Tian laughed.
Say, yes, but I feel like it's too late for you to learn magic, you better be a martial artist, if you're interested, we can also discuss martial arts. (To be continued......)
