On the second day, Lin Chen took Wu Wei into the Xiyin Mountain Range, which was close to the ancient city of Fengwei.

When he was at the inn, Lin Chen asked Wu Wei where he wanted to go, and Wu Wei said that he wanted to see the world of flowers, but Lin Chen took him into this so-called 'world of flowers' with flowers and grass. In fact, I also want to take this opportunity to let Wu Wei personally experience what it means to practice.

Xiyin Mountain is an endless primeval mountain range, where the ancient trees are towering, the blue peaks are towering into the clouds, the dense forest, the monsters are rampant, the birds of prey are raging, and the strange flowers and plants are blooming everywhere, just like a vibrant primitive natural scene.

At this time, two figures, one large and one small, walked on a wide forest path, which obviously had the axles of coming and going and the traces of pedestrians.

Overhead sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves that shade the sky, casting on the damp ground, with a glow and mottled shadows, giving this dark forest a touch of mystery.

"Big brother, you're walking so fast, I can't keep up. Wu Wei jumped all the way, like a deer returning to nature, chasing the white elegant figure in front of him, and shouted resentfully.

Lin Chen was playing with Gu Xiao in his hand, while holding a wine bag to drink himself, he walked forward quickly, as if he did it on purpose, and said loudly without looking back: "If you can't keep up, then try to catch up." ”

"But my legs are short, I can't run!" Wu Wei trotted all the way, tired and panting, squatting beside the path, but seeing the bright flowers and plants around him, bees and butterflies flying, he was also interested, and he was not discouraged at all.

"If you can't run, then you have to put in more effort than others. Lin Chen walked farther and farther, and he didn't seem to have the intention of stopping and waiting.

"Oh. Although Wu Wei was young, when he heard such familiar words of encouragement, a determined look rose on his childish face, he gritted his teeth, stood up and chased after him again.

After a while, Wu Wei finally caught up with Lin Chen's footsteps, his face flushed and panting, and he asked, "Big brother, are we going to practice in this forest?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded, seeing that Wu You's immature face was covered with beads of sweat, he chuckled and stretched out his hand to wipe Wu Wei's face, and said, "Stay away from the red dust, get close to nature, this is cultivation." ”

"But I still don't know what cultivation is. Wu Wei looked confused, scratched his head, and said.

"You'll find out later. ”

Lin Chen walked up to a strangely shaped plant on the side of the road at this time, picked a wild flower like a twisted flower, and asked Wu Wei, "Do you know what this is?"

"A flower. Wu Wei said with a serious face.

"Not true. ”

Lin Chen pinched the flower and raised his hand to shake it gently, and the bright wildflower suddenly turned into a colorful butterfly, fluttering its gorgeous wings up and down in its hands, and the whole process was like a trick.

"It is both a flower and not a flower. ”

"Then is it actually a butterfly?" Wu Wei's clear eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought he had answered correctly.

"No, in the eyes of mortals it is a flower, but in the eyes of a practitioner, it can be a butterfly or a leaf, it is actually everything. ”

When Lin Chen said these words, he suddenly remembered that when he was so old in Wu Wu, Shizun also led them to the path of cultivation with ignorance.

The familiar scene, the heavenly proverbs for introductory cultivation, are still imprinted in my mind like pearls: the flowers in the eyes are not real flowers, and the things we see are not real things, that is, the so-called flowers are not flowers, and things are not things.

In fact, it is the 'original heart' of human beings, and it is the illusion of flowers and objects that are ejected from the outside.

The world that ordinary people see is changing in a thousand ways, and although it is really unfolding in front of them, in the eyes of practitioners, it is just an all-encompassing 'Dao mind'.

The more Wu Wei listened, the more confused he became, and he suddenly became a little anxious, he dragged Lin Chen's sleeve robe while begging: "Big brother, can you be simpler?"

Lin Chen came back to his senses, couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched Wu Wei's head, and said, "To put it simply, everything you see is not what it is, and the root of cultivation is mind cultivation. When you will be able to truly see this world with your heart, then you will truly enter the broad path of cultivation..."

"Oh, I seem to understand, but I still don't seem to understand. Wu Wei suddenly said with a sad face.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to know that cultivation is not easy, the road ahead is long, only by maintaining a sincere heart, then you will go further than others and become stronger in the future. ”

"I'm going to do my best. Wu Wei nodded heavily after hearing this, his face full of innocence and confidence that he should have at his age.

Of course, at Wu Wei's age, it is almost impossible for him to understand these mysteries of cultivation at once.

Lin Chen instilled these idealistic thoughts in him, just to let him roughly understand this truth.

Because in the early stage of cultivation, the establishment of concepts and confidence is the most important, and as for the method of entry and the opportunity to step into the practice, it is only for him to slowly realize it on the path of growth.

The two of them got back on the road and walked deeper into the Xiyin Mountain Range.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more the traces of pedestrians on the wide path gradually thin, the towering ancient trees completely cover the sky, and the air around you becomes cold and damp.

On both sides of the path, strange flowers and plants are everywhere, strange vines all over the mountains and fields are intricately spread on the ancient trees, and you can hear the roar of beasts faintly coming from the depths of the dense forest, and this vibrant primeval forest instantly has a trace of danger.

"Xiaoyou, do you know why I took you deep into this forest?" Lin Chen walked ahead quickly, and he didn't seem to take into account Wu Wei's physical strength after walking a long mountain road.

"Is Big Brother trying to train me in a dangerous environment?" Wu Wei naturally heard the roar of the beast faintly in the distance, and he said with an innocent expression.

Lin Chen seemed a little surprised that Wu Wei was smart and clever at a young age, and smiled lightly and approvingly: "Not bad." ”

"There are many paths to cultivation, but the first step and one of the foundations of every practitioner before entering is to strengthen the physique, the so-called 'self-cultivation'. ”

"I know this, my uncle used to teach me to go to bed early and get up early, help my aunt carry water and chop wood every day, saying that it was to exercise my body. ”

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he laughed unconsciously, and said: "Those physical labor is only one aspect of exercise, and the most important thing is to seek a way to quickly change the body's physique in essence. ”

Lin Chen suddenly stopped, raised his eyes to look into the depths of the misty dense forest in the distance, and said, "Soon, you will be able to see something that can change your physique." ”

Wu Wei looked surprised, followed Lin Chen's gaze and said, "What is it?"

"Elixir.
