Chapter 203: Leaving the Homeland
Then Aoki River continued to think about the sky, dark clouds, and rain. If there is no interference from external forces, the trees will always grow quietly. But there is a certain law between heaven and earth, natural selection of the fittest to survive, you can't adapt to those harsh environments, then you can only be eliminated by this heaven and earth, and eventually dissipate in heaven and earth. Therefore, the bad weather, dark clouds, and rain are like testing the forest sea, and only by adapting to these can it be possible to survive. Originally, the Aoki River wanted to fall from above the forest sea to the earth, avoiding the rain, lightning and thunder. But in retrospect, Aokigawa shook his head and took a negative attitude towards the arbitrary decision at that time. Obviously, Aokigawa thinks that only after those storms,
to be able to grow stronger. If you don't have the belief to be motivated, persistent and resolute, then you can only be like those weak plants and trees, forever refuge under the towering trees, once you get rid of those tall trees, it will be difficult to survive, because you have adapted to the days of being protected and cared for, you have adapted to that environment, if you suddenly change to a harsh environment, then you will definitely not be able to survive.
If you don't pursue it with a persistent and firm heart, then once you encounter difficulties and tribulations, you won't be able to solve them on your own, and you will have the intention of retreating, so that no matter what, you won't be able to go far and climb high on the road of the avenue. It was not until this moment that Aoki Chuan suddenly realized that he had been enlightened, recalling the instructions of the Phoenix Eagle Divine Beast to himself before leaving, Aoki Chuan understood the good intentions of the Phoenix Eagle Divine Beast. Only then did I understand why the Phoenix Eagle Divine Beast let himself go out to practice alone. Not to mention that due to the special condition of the body, it is necessary to go to Shuiling County to practice the water system strength, which is just the pursuit of cultivation. You can't stay in one place comfortably forever, so that your own experience and experience will be greatly reduced.
If you don't know anything about what is happening in the outside world, and you just blindly focus on cultivation, don't communicate with others, don't feel this world, then your understanding and perception of the Great Dao will be greatly discounted. It will even produce a one-sided understanding, which will lead to many detours and wrong paths. Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of rivers and circles, and one law leads to ten thousand laws. If we can't enhance our own knowledge and accumulate experience, then how can we understand the true meaning of the Great Dao? At this moment, Aokikawa realized a lot of truths, and also understood the meaning of the words of the Phoenix Eagle Divine Beast. At the same time, it strengthened its own beliefs, hearts and wills. That's right. It is the perseverance and perseverance in the pursuit of the true meaning of the Great Dao. Since the beginning of his cultivation, Aokigawa's heart has become more and more calm,
At the same time, the obsession in my heart is also more determined. As long as the belief in my heart does not change, then Aokigawa will definitely be able to achieve something on the road of seeking the true meaning of the Great Dao in the future. Looking at those rootless trees that have experienced wind and rain, like a flat boat in the turbulent waves, it may be swallowed by the merciless sea water at any time, but those tree trunks with solid roots are still standing. For the wind and rain in the outside world, it seems that he does not care at all. And the weak grass and trees under the big trees are like frightened birds. I'm afraid that those storms will affect them. Rootless trees, rootless trunks, and weak grass and trees, these three types of things are different in the face of wind and rain, which seems to imply a truth, comparing these three types of things to those who cultivate the Tao.
That rootless tree is equivalent to a monk who is scattered, has nothing to rely on, and has average strength, this kind of person does not have much strength in itself, and still wants to stand in front of the world, when he really encounters danger, this kind of person is at a loss. And the main trunks of those towering trees are equivalent to a generation of peerless powerhouses, they have transcendent strength, they can be calm and calm in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, and they can solve seemingly unmanageable problems at the snap of their fingers. As for those weak grass and trees, they are like some low-strength monks, they know that they don't have much strength, so they have to rely on those powerful sects and monks to survive. This kind of person is much stronger than the first type of people, but compared to those powerful monks, it is much inferior, what this kind of people need to do is to strengthen their own beliefs, work hard, and strive to have a certain strength one day, so that they can escape from the protection of those powerful monks, and still survive.
The rain was falling on the forest sea, and gradually the clouds dispersed, the lightning and thunder disappeared, and the sun in the clouds slowly appeared, and the rainbow in the sky appeared in front of the eyes of the Aoki River. "The clouds dissipated, the light of day was rediscovered, and a rainbow appeared. This seems to mean that the calamity has passed and that the light is coming. It has experienced wind and rain, and now that the sun is shining, it should be able to grow stronger. When Aokigawa thinks back to the scene when the rainbow appears, he thinks of something through his understanding of those scenes. There is a saying that if you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow. Indeed, if you have not experienced hardships, it is impossible to achieve something. It is impossible for those towering trees to grow in one day, and without the moisture of rain and sunlight, it is impossible for trees to grow. Towering trees can grow, but those rootless trees are much more difficult to grow. If the wind and rain are too fierce, then the rootless tree is likely to break off and cannot survive. Even after the wind and rain,
Rootless trees must rely on the main trunk to grow, and the trunk that has just experienced wind and rain also needs great nutrients to grow, and the nutrients that can be supplied to rootless trees are naturally very few. Therefore, without a solid foundation, whether it is before or after the storm, it is very difficult for the rootless tree to survive. And those that grow under the big trees have a harder time surviving. The thick root system of the towering tree absorbs most of the nutrients in the soil, leaving only scarce nutrients, so those weak plants and trees can only sustain life with scarce nutrients, and it is obviously impossible to grow stronger. Thinking of these, Aoki Chuan sighed again and again. Aokigawa found that it was difficult to achieve something along the way, and he could neither learn the rootless trees nor the weak plants. Otherwise, it will be impossible to make achievements on the road. Then Aokigawa opened his eyes and stopped thinking.
Seeing the white belly of the fish in the sky, Aoki Chuan breathed for a while and then got up and walked towards the house where the woodcutter was. Because it was already early in the morning. Aoki River is in a hurry. Prepare to go with the woodcutter to inquire about the news, and if there is a boat going to sea, then go directly with the same way. You won't miss it, and you won't have to wait for the next time.
An hour later, the woodcutter took the Aoki River to a ferry, and the reason why it is called a ferry is because most merchant ships go to sea and pass through here for a while, after all, the residents of this place often trade with the merchants on the ship, and even entrust those merchants to search for some strange things from other places. So the merchants were also used to staying here for a while. Over time, it became known as the ferry port by the residents of the neighborhood.
The woodcutter led the Aoki River towards the ferry. "Old Joe. What do you want me to do for you this time? The axe you came back last time is still working. Before the two of them could stand firm, they thought the old man was not far away and greeted the woodcutter. Apparently the old man knew the woodcutter well. "It's easy to use, it's easy to use, Lao Gao, your vision is good. It's worth the money, hehe. But this time I didn't come to ask you to help me find something. It's about having something to do. "It turns out that this old man's surname is Gao. The woodcutter had a very good relationship with him, and used to ask Lao Gao to help him find some useful things. Even the axe in the woodcutter's hand was retrieved by Lao Gao from Shuiling County.
"Oh, there is something to entrust? With your friendship with me, Lao Qiao, if there is anything, just say it, as long as my boss can do it, I will definitely help you do it." "Lao Gao is straightforward, and at this moment, I heard that Lao Qiao had something to ask for. didn't pretend to be polite, but directly asked Lao Qiao what he was entrusted. "It's not really important. Xiaochuan, you come here, I've seen Grandpa Gao. This boy is the descendant of my benefactor, and now that his family is in the middle of the road, he wants to go to the other side to join his distant relatives, but he does not know how to cross the vast waters, so he has to turn to me for help.
Originally, I wanted to take this child with me, but you know that I am a woodcutter and do not have much wealth, and this child will definitely suffer with me, so in desperation, I have to ask you to take him to the other side and let him go to that distant relative, so that I can rest assured. I don't know if you can help with this?" The woodcutter was worried that telling the truth would arouse Lao Gao's suspicions, so he took it upon himself to make up an identity for Aoki Chuan, so that Lao Gao naturally couldn't suspect anything. "So it's just this little thing, Old Joe, you're too outward. Well, well, I'll take him safely to the other side. After listening to the woodcutter's words, Lao Gao did not doubt that he had him, and even blamed the woodcutter for meeting him. "In this way, then thank you Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Gao's help, Xiaochuan remembers it. Aoki Chuan heard that Lao Gao was willing to take him across the sea,
There was a burst of joy in my heart, and at the same time I opened my mouth to thank you. "It's a trivial matter, you and your grandfather Qiao say goodbye, just put it on and wait for me, and I will arrange it for you then." Old Joe, then I won't bother your grandparents and grandchildren. There's another acquaintance over there, I'll go over there. Lao Gao didn't pay any attention to helping Aokikawa, and after telling Aokikawa a few words, he walked over to an acquaintance. "Xiaochuan, I can only help you with this, and then you will have to rely on yourself, I hope your distant relatives can treat you well, if you have the opportunity,
Remember to come back and see me, old man. Hehe" The woodcutter touched Aokigawa's head and said earnestly, in fact, in the woodcutter's heart, he had already regarded Aokigawa as his grandson, and the identity that the woodcutter made up for Aokigawa before was actually based on it. When the woodcutter was young, he did receive the kindness of a man, but later he heard that the benefactor's family had been destroyed, and when the woodcutter arrived later, it was too late, and the benefactor's whole family was killed, and the blood flowed profusely. The woodcutter wanted to avenge the benefactor's family, but the enemy was too strong, so the woodcutter had to endure it, and later inquired in many ways, and learned that there was a baby girl who survived the massacre, but ten years later, the woodcutter searched around, but there was no news of the baby girl. In desperation,
The woodcutter had no choice but to come to the border of Muling County and live in seclusion. When he saw Aokigawa's sloppy appearance in your forest and thought of his benefactor's descendants, the woodcutter felt pity, because the woodcutter guessed that Aokigawa might have fallen or fled vendetta. Otherwise, how could a young man walk in such a remote forest. But none of this is important, and the woodcutter sees that Aokigawa is still kind-hearted, so he has the heart to help him. That's what happened next. "Well, if Xiaochuan has the opportunity to return to Muling County, he will definitely come to visit Grandpa Qiao. Grandpa Qiao, there is an herb here, after you take it, it can enhance your physique and not be easy to get sick. Aoki Chuan looked at the kind appearance of this woodcutter, and his heart felt an inexplicable pain, because Aoki Chuan remembered his father.
remembered the scenes where his father cared for him. Aoki Chuan then took out one of the herbs that had been prepared for a long time and gave it to the woodcutter. The value of this herb is comparable to that of eight-leaf clover, and it is of great value to cultivators, while ordinary people can only prolong their lives and prevent malaria in their bodies after taking it. Aoki Chuan has always been gracious, for the help of the woodcutter, Aoki Chuan naturally cannot ignore it, although the herb is of great value, but in Aoki Chuan's heart, it can make the woodcutter live a few more years, healthy and healthy,
That's nothing that can be compared to any herb. At first, the woodcutter refused to accept it, but at Aokigawa's repeated requests, he had to accept the herb. Then the two chatted briefly and parted. Not long after Aoki River landed on deck,
The ship set sail slowly. "Muling County, I will come back again, I hope that when I come back, I will not be so cringe and nest like this!Dad, mother, Sister Xuanyu, Yue'er hopes that you are all well, and the day you succeed in your studies is the time when I return!" There is an indomitable will in his voice, which is as high as the sky and thicker than the earth!(To be continued......
