Chapter 21: The Old Man Stargazer

Next, the two confirmed each other's martial arts.

In fact, it was Ming Chen who asked for advice unilaterally.

Chen Jing corrected while feeding.

The two of you go back and forth, and the fight is so lively.

While Ming Chen was delighted, he also knew that Chen Jing didn't use all his strength, and he looked relaxed and freehand throughout the whole process, showing the demeanor of a master.

But he didn't know that Chen Jing was secretly frightened: this kid has made too fast progress, and if he continues to learn, he will be hollowed out.

"You're such a pervert, even more perverted than the one I knew before!"

Ming Chen could only touch his head and laugh.

This is not entirely his own ability, it has more or less something to do with the system, which leads to his conscience hearing such praise and not accepting it calmly.

"The person Brother Chen said must also be outstanding in terms of cultivation."

He changed his talent in a funny way, but he couldn't give up on the topic.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to get to know Chen Jing.

Hearing this, Chen Jing was silent for a long time.

From his expression, he didn't see impatience, but instead curled the corners of his mouth.

"He's not as big as me, he's the pride of our family."

Ming Chen became interested: "He's your brother?" ”

This time, Chen Jing showed a tangled expression and sighed: "Yes and no." ”

"Is it a cousin, or a cousin?"

Who knows, Chen Jing did not continue the meaning of this topic, but said: "He has been smart since he was a child, and he always likes to talk about why, and after a few years, his talent and talent shocked the whole family." ”

"In a hurry, I should be about the same age as you now."

"It turns out that Brother Chen is from a big family, so it's no wonder that he is very knowledgeable and knows everything about cultivation." Ming Chen had already guessed that his origin was extraordinary.

However, Ming Chen's praise did not make Chen Jing happy, but showed a resentful look.

Turned his head to stare at Ming Chen: "With your cleverness, you should be able to roughly guess my situation, it's your turn, many of the truths in your mouth are not in the book, and there are many ideas that make people pause, and you are not afraid of the strong, and you even have no bottom line, so, who are you?" ”

Well, eat melons to eat yourself.

It turns out that this is why Chen Jing caused this topic.

He wanted to understand the origin of Ming Chen, so he first used Ming Chen's desire to understand his psychology to design.

This time, Ming Chen was slightly defeated.

"Alas!"

Life is not easy, Ming Chen sighed, why were the ancients so smart?

Maybe it's also a kind of arrogance.

The ancients, no matter which world the ancients were, were no more stupid than later generations, and even some of them had wisdom that mortals could hardly imagine.

Ming Chen organized the following language: "When I was a child, I met an ordinary old man who sat there all day looking at the sky, I was curious and went to ask, and the old man told me that he was looking at the stars. ”

"Where did the stars come from during the day?!"

"I was a little angry and thought he was lying, and then the old man told me to be careful and listen."

"Later, in order to prove him wrong, I also joined him, and watched the stars during the day, during which he told me a lot of stories, and each story was very interesting, but I couldn't understand it at the time, so I just listened to him as a story."

"Later, the old man left, and he said that after reading the stars here, he was going to see them elsewhere."

"At that time, I finally mustered up the courage and asked him who he was, and the old man just shook his head and said that he was just an ordinary person who loved life and was good at observation."

"After many years, when I grew up, every time I reminisced about the old man's story, I could get some truth from it, and when I understood those truths, the story disappeared."

Chen Jing asked curiously, "Can you see the stars during the day?" ”

Looking at the vast sky, Ming Chen affirmed: "Yes!" ”

Actually, this is not made up by Ming Chen.

This is the real experience of Ming Chen's original body, but it has been adapted.

The truth is that the old man was a well-known madman.

During the day, he looked at the sky in a daze, and muttered, "Stars... Star! ”

When night falls, they weep bitterly, bow down and cry to the stars in the sky.

Later, the other villagers drove him away, and Ming Chen never saw him again.

Ming Chen gave him a name: Stargazing Old Man!

And he also used the story of this old man to tell Chen Jing that he was just an ordinary person who loved life and was good at observation, which made him dispel his doubts.

Obviously, Chen Jing could also see that Ming Chen was not lying, and he was even more shocked in his heart.

couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky above his head, then laughed at himself, and woke up: "It doesn't matter if you can see the stars during the day, what matters is the eyes that are good at observing, the ears that are good at listening, and the heart that is good at perceiving." ”

"I see, wisdom is to be good at asking questions, to be good at observation, and then to draw conclusions."

This time, it was Ming Chen's turn to be surprised.

This guy!

Why can you come to this conclusion in a very ordinary little story?

After thinking about it for a long time, Ming Chen probably guessed something.

The pervert in Chen Jing's mouth is a person who discovers problems and asks questions, which is the source of wisdom.

The old man in Mingchen's mouth is a person who is good at observing and listening to all things, which is the scenery of wisdom.

And Chen Jing in front of him is a person who is good at summarizing and drawing conclusions, which is the definitive conclusion of wisdom.

If the minds of three people collide together, it will surely shine brightly.

"Mingchen, do you know where that old man went?" Chen Jing asked a little impatiently.

"Traveling all over the world, there is no fixed place to live." Ming Chen shook his head.

Just kidding, it's been a long time, and it's probably gone.

"He must be a master!" Chen Jing said with certainty, his eyes were even hotter.

"Perhaps, I look pretty ordinary."

Chen Jing immediately retorted: "Being able to travel all over the world, what kind of strength it is, you don't know at all!" ”

Ming Chen was stunned, and immediately understood, good guy, there are really four seas here!

"Indeed, the road is far away, and it is estimated that you will not be able to walk to the beach without any strength."

Chen Jing shook his head: "You don't understand, whether it is west of Yuanshan City or the land of the four seas, there are demon clans entrenched, and there are many big demons. ”

"Land beasts, sea dragons, and sky peng, these are the three major clans of the demon clan."

"The three land clans dominate the ten thousand demon mountains in the extreme west, and it is said that there are countless sea monsters in the sea Longyuan, and the sky is ruled by Peng birds and peacocks."

"Is it a person who can wander in these places to be idle?"

Hearing this, Ming Chen swallowed his saliva.

Isn't this a little lower than the Flood Desolate Dragon and Phoenix Qilin?!

It's too much!

Two hours ago, he was still complacent about building the foundation of his magical warrior.

Now that I know the truth, tears are falling.

What a bull word.

However, from this point of view, the Terrans are still more powerful.

The monsters and demons in the wild are hidden, there are many crises, the demon clan is huge, and the human race can still exist well, which can be seen.

But when I thought of Yuanshan City, my confidence was a little insufficient.

Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Chen, I still think that I can't be a qi refiner, and it's not bad to be a hero who travels all over the world." ”

"Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous."

"What is a hero?" After hearing this, Chen Jing showed a puzzled expression.

No way? There is no such thing as a chivalrous man?

Isn't there a world of warriors?

Ming Chen could only explain: "This is one of the stories that the old man told me, mentioning the heroes of the rivers and lakes. ”

There is no choice but to splash dirty water on the dead, it should be dead, right?

Chen Jing was obviously interested, and he looked like he was listening.

"In his story, the world is like a raging river, with sediment sinking to the bottom, turbid, and like a big lake stopping water, clear as a mirror, and the light can shine on people."

"What are rivers and lakes?" Ming Chen began to ask and answer himself.

"The rivers and lakes can be swords, swords, and shadows, or they can be sophisticated."

"The rivers and lakes can be wandering all over the world, or they can be drunk and lying on the railing."

"The rivers and lakes can be grievances and hatreds, or they can be wine and talk."

"The rivers and lakes are the world, and they are also the chessboard, the rules on the chessboard, and the coincidences of the superiors; It is a petri dish of intrigue and intrigue, and it is also a burial ground for love and hatred. ”

"What I'm talking about isn't all there is to it, and it's hard for me to say all about it."

"There are a thousand rivers and lakes in the eyes of a thousand people."

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!"

Chen Jing listened fascinated, nodded from time to time, and sighed from time to time.

When Ming Chen talked about grievances and hatreds, he fell into a short thought and nodded again and again.

When it comes to a thousand rivers and lakes in the eyes of a thousand people, he is a bright eye.

This is similar to the direction and angle of the discussion between him and Ming Chen.

What a complicated expression...

The desire to be drunk and lie on the railing, the yearning for the sword and sword, and the resentment of intrigue and intrigues.

He didn't feel the rivers and lakes through a specific story.

It was by substituting himself into the rivers and lakes that he was addicted to it and could not extricate himself.

These two words seemed to have magical power, deeply imprinted in Chen Jing's mind, and could not be dispersed for a long time.

Especially the last sentence: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

Ming Chen shook his head and said softly: "Actually, the rivers and lakes have always been there, and the old man just gave it a just right name to call it." ”

"I want to meet that old man!" Chen Jing showed a yearning look.

If you really see it, you won't think so, Ming Chen thought with a snicker.

However, he turned his head and remembered another possibility.

What if, this old stargazer, isn't a madman?

Once the idea came to it, it never lingered.

He learns that the old man is a madman through his original memories.

But, this is what the original body identified, so many years have passed, how old was he at that time?

Moreover, he didn't think that the other party was a madman at first, but the villagers and his parents said that he was a madman, and then after he firmly believed that the person was a madman, the person he remembered became a madman.

So, the original memory is not entirely desirable.

If there is another situation, it is likely to be the same as his own adaptation, the old man is a person who loves life and is good at observation, but his behavior is not understood, so he is wrongly blamed for being a madman.

When everybody thinks you're crazy, then no matter how normal you are, you're crazy.

Thinking of this sad ending, Ming Chen was silent for a while and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Jing, who recovered, opened his mouth and asked:

"What is a hero?"
