"Master!" At this time, Guo Feng was no longer saluting as a child, but a disciple as an apprentice.

Yang Lin looked at Guo Feng with a loving face, "Calculate the time, it's almost time for the New Year in Tianlan Kingdom!"

"Well, so I want to invite you to the village for the New Year, I think my father wants to do that too! I wonder what you think?" Guo Feng's expression was very humble and his tone was also very respectful.

Judging from the age, the other party is an elder. In terms of generation, the other party is his master. In terms of friendship, although the two did not have much friendship, he remembered in his heart what his father had told him that the old man in front of him had done for their family.

Therefore, in the face of such an old man, it is impossible for Guo Feng not to be humble and disrespectful, and his heart does not allow him not to be humble and disrespectful.

Yang Lin didn't say yes or no, but changed the topic, "Do you want to know why I live in such a small courtyard?"

Guo Feng was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the old man to ask this question.

Without waiting for Guo Feng to answer, and not caring about Guo Jizhi's presence, Yang Lin spoke. Obviously, he did not treat Guo Jizhi as an outsider. The old man's words seemed to be explaining to him, and as if he was talking to himself, "I have lived to be more than two hundred and eighty years old now, and it is very difficult to make a breakthrough again, and I don't have many years to live!"

The old man's words were full of vicissitudes, and it was obvious that what the old man was going to say was related to his past years, otherwise the old man would not have mentioned his age properly.

"Shigong will break through the mouth of the bottle and cultivate to the next level!" Although Guo Feng has not cultivated, he also knows that he has not broken through in the past so many years, and it will be difficult to break through in the rest of the time...... But in the face of such an old man who is kind to his family, he sincerely hopes that the other party will make a breakthrough and pass a while.

Yang Lin didn't care about Guo Feng's words, it was obvious that his family knew his own affairs, and it was not easy to break through. The old man closed his eyes and recalled the past, "I also became a martial apprentice in this martial arts hall back then, and I still remember that it was a senior sister who assessed us that day, her name was Mo Chou." ”

"Although Senior Sister Mo Chou is a member of our martial arts hall, she is not a ......"

There were some contradictions in what he said, Guo Feng and Guo Jizhi heard it a little foggy, but they didn't dare to think about the old man's thoughts. Continuing to listen quietly, they knew that the old man would explain clearly.

"At that time, she was already a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, and we all had no opinion on her assessment, not to mention that Senior Sister Mochou was so beautiful. ”

"And I, I fell in love with her at first sight during the assessment......" As he spoke, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Guo Feng and the others, his eyes full of tenderness.

But instead of focusing on them, Guo Feng turned his head with the old man's gaze and found a painting hanging on the wall behind him. The paper of the painting has been yellowed, apparently some age. There is a woman in the painting, and although the ink has faded a lot, you can still see that the woman in the painting is very beautiful. Obviously, this woman is the senior sister Mo Chou in the old man's mouth.

After a pause, Yang Lin withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again. The whole room was quiet, and the slightest grinding sound of a cold wind sweeping through the dead grass outside could be heard clearly.

After a while, Yang Lin spoke again, "At that time, in order to attract Senior Sister Mochou's attention, I was very diligent in my cultivation. It is precisely because of my diligence that I make up for my lack of talent. I am not very talented, and my progress is no worse than those disciples with high talent, so that I have received the attention of my senior sister as I wished. ”

"Later, when I went out to practice, I also joined the team led by my senior sister. After getting along more and getting to know each other better, I realized that she was the daughter of the sect master of the Yuanling Sect, and she came here just to experience her ability to deal with things. ”

"When I got the news, my mind was a mess. I thought it was just a gap in cultivation, but I tried to make up for it. However, I didn't expect that there would be a gap in identity, and it was such a big gap. ”

"From that day on, I became decadent. I am depressed every day, and my sudden changes have puzzled many people. Every time Senior Sister Mochou saw me, she was disappointed, and the more she did, the more decadent I became. ”

"Later, my friend finally couldn't stand it anymore! I actually stopped Senior Sister Mochou in public and told her what I wanted to say, but I couldn't stop it. In other words, I have some thoughts of breaking the jar, don't I really want to stop it!"

"At that time, I remember that Senior Sister Mo Chou just looked at me with a blank face, her eyes full of disappointment, and told me indifferently, 'If your heart is shaken by those distances, why do you like me?' I don't need you to be liked by such a coward, because you don't deserve it!'"

"I still remember Senior Sister Mochou's indifference at that time, and that indifference pierced my heart deeply. ”

Later, within a few days, there was news that Senior Sister Mo Chou was going back to the sect. ”

"The day before she left, she called me to her compound, and she didn't say much that day, but I remembered every word clearly. She said to me, 'Monk, you are going against the sky, and if you only go against the grain, you are destined to be weak! When I heard my sister's words, I really came to my senses. ”

Seeing that I was looking back, she let me go. Before leaving, she asked me to have time to help her take care of the flowers and plants in the garden. I know she's giving me a thought, a thought that makes me stronger. ”

Hearing Yang Lin mention the small courtyard, Guo Feng and Guo Jizhi both guessed that the courtyard they were in now was the original courtyard. At the same time, they finally knew why the old man didn't let them step on the dead grass in the yard.

In addition, Guo Feng also knew that the other party refused to go to his house for the New Year, because the old man wanted to accompany the painting here, or the person in his heart.

Yang Lin didn't care what they were thinking, but continued to tell the story of the year.

"With this encouragement, I have become harder than before, and I have worked harder in my cultivation. In less than a year after Senior Sister Mochou left, I was promoted from the fifth level of body refining to the ninth level of body refining, and successfully entered the Yuan Spirit Sect. ”

"I remember that on the day we entered the sect, Senior Sister Mochou came to pick us up. She didn't say anything to me along the way, but I could feel that she was happy with my results!"

"In the Yuan Ling Sect, the competition has become more intense. And I basically didn't have much chance to see Senior Sister Mochou, but I didn't give up because of this, but continued to work hard, and soon became an inner disciple. And I didn't let that stop me because I knew I still had a gap. The hard work paid off, and my progress attracted the attention of the high-level of the sect. After some assessment, I also became a core disciple like Senior Sister Mochou. ”

"After becoming a core disciple, I spent more time with Senior Sister Mochou. Senior Sister Mo Chou and I are only missing the last layer of window paper that has not been pierced, and these old sect masters are also in their eyes. The old sect master is not the kind of person who values his background, so he didn't come out to oppose it, but valued me with honor, and even encouraged me to pursue it boldly!"

"I went out to practice, and I made a great contribution. If the sect master asks me anything, just mention it. As the old sect master expected, I proposed to marry. The old sect master agreed very happily, but Senior Sister Mo Chou walked out and refused in public, saying not to marry someone weaker than her!"

No matter what the old sect master said, she just wouldn't agree. I was drunk that night, and I remember that she seemed to have come. I haven't seen her since the next day! or rather, she's avoiding me!"

"Since then, I have been practicing day and night, often in retreat. But before I could overtake her, she ......"

Two lines of old tears flowed out, Yang Lin paused, and then spoke again, "She passed away! It was when I was in retreat, and I didn't even attend her funeral." I went to the old sect master, and when he saw me, he finally told me the reason in the first place. ”

"Although Senior Sister Mo Chou is talented, she is terminally ill and will not live long at all, so she will refuse my proposal. The old sect master also told me that Senior Sister Mochou would look at my retreat cave from afar every time I was in retreat, and sometimes it would be like a day......

"Senior Sister Mo Chou is gone, but she lives in my heart, and I still keep working hard, and finally become the youngest elder in the sect. But because of this incident, it became my inner demon, so that I couldn't break through to the Yuanhai realm. ”

Yang Lin sighed deeply, opened his eyes, and looked at Guo Feng, "Do you understand?"

Guo Feng nodded and shook his head again.

"When you start cultivating, you'll understand!" Yang Lin was not surprised by Guo Feng's reaction, wiped the tears on his face, and said with a smile, "People are old, and they like to nag, so let you see and laugh!"

"Master Xie advises!" Guo Feng and Guo Jizhi are not stupid, and naturally know that the old man said this just to ease the atmosphere. Although they were ignorant of the old man's words, they knew that the old man was pointing them out.

"Okay, listening to me an old man nagging for so long, I'm afraid you're going to be anxious, go back!"

Sure enough, as Guo Feng thought, the old man did not plan to go to his house for the New Year.

The disciple retired. The two of them bowed and left.

Leaving the small courtyard, Guo Jizhi asked, "Brother, just now Shigong asked you understand, why did you nod and shake your head? Also, what did Shigong mean by those words?"

"For now, I understand two points, and as for whether there are others, I don't know. ”

"What are the two points? Why didn't I hear it, I thought it meant something, but that's only because I knew that Shigong was not a man of many words. ”

"First of all, he won't go to the village with me. The second point is that Shigong keeps repeating his efforts, which is to tell us that talent is not the only thing that determines achievement, and hard work will pay off. As for the rest, I don't know. Listening to Yang Lin's story, Guo Feng couldn't help but think of his father. Two infatuated people, two similar experiences, both have nothing to do with their beloved. In contrast, his father was much luckier, at least they were married and had children.
