What is soaring under them at the moment is a huge dragon, this is not like the one seen in the southern swamp, this is a dragon that has reached its peak, with wings on its back, golden yellow, its body has faded from the black skin, and gradually changes to white jade, crystal clear, this is a sign that it is going to turn into a dragon.

"Senior, this Jiaolong ~~~~" Qin Lin asked in shock, "Have you reached the realm of a half-step dragon?"

"So carelessly, and you were entangled in this poison ivy?" Even though the dean liked to slow down when he spoke, it seemed that this would make people understand his intentions better, he stretched out a hand and swiped it across Qin Lin's leg, a trace of green breath flew out, and the rattan thorns on his leg flew up and broke away from Qin Lin's body, "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed in you." ”

"If your father had encountered such a thing, the first thing he would have thought of would be to contact all the powers that could be used by me, and then he would retreat and venture alone. ”

"But your father's second-best thing is often to protect himself. ”

"It's not like you, with your head covered, I'll give you a zero score this time!"

For Qin Lin's question, the dean didn't answer, just criticized and educated, and in a few words, he had already come to the straight peak, and there were still white bones buried in the scorched earth in the distance, and every time he saw it, he would feel his mood beating.

At the same time, Qin Lin also put a big question mark on the appearance of the dean in his heart, how could it be so coincidental?

After the two of them walked up, Jiaolong's body gradually shrank, and his crystal clear body turned into a little starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only a short old man in place, who was the one who showed him the way when Qin Lin first came here.

"This is your third time here, do you notice anything different?" the dean walked to the bridge, picked up the fishing rod, and began to fish again, as if his whole life had been to sit here and fish, "I can answer that I can talk with you a little more today." ”

"Here?" he had never thought about the question, "what's different?"

He sat cross-legged beside the dean, thinking carefully about this question, since the dean had this question, there must be a reason.

The view is beautiful and simple!

The flat terrain can encompass the scenery at a glance, a stream winds on this land, there are strange rocks by the river, there are scattered weeds, and a few tall sycamores, these are very commonplace, there is no strange scenery in the god's domain, and then there is the long bridge that the dean likes to sit on, the stone arch bridge seems to have been carefully polished, but that's all, he carefully observed and tried it himself, it is an ordinary stone, not a special material, the bridge head walks past the last thatched hut, there should be a place for the dean to rest on weekdays, and the materials used in the thatched hut are also very ordinary, the pillar keel used for the main body is the branch of the sycamore, and the thatch is also the most common kind by the river, so there is nothing surprising.

So, what's different here?

From time to time, fish jump out of the water, indicating that there may be rain today.

It was raining, and the rain was dripping on Qin Lin's shoulders, he looked at the dean, and it didn't seem to mean that it would rain, so he didn't speak, but the dean did.

"If you want to hide from the rain, go ahead!" the dean raised his head slightly, "Teng's poison has been cleared, but the wound has not healed yet, and it is always a little bad to get drenched in the rain." ”

"Think about this question carefully, if you don't understand it, you can cultivate here in the future!"

The layout in the thatched hut is very simple, a bed, a table and chairs with a set of tea sets, it is so simple, there is a bit of a gap with Qin Lin's imagination.

Time passed quickly, and a month flew by like this, during which Qin Lin thought of Tuoba and Yu Wen, but the dean had already made arrangements, and only let him quietly think about what he should think.

For a month, Qin Lin often sat on the bridge, drawing a gourd and holding a fishing rod to follow the fishing, and sometimes walked alone by the river or sat under the plane tree to enjoy the shade.

In fact, he found something unreasonable, this river is a river without source and root. There was no source, and he didn't know where it was going, but he didn't think it was something the dean had asked him to figure out.

After another month, Qin Lin sat by the river in boredom, picked up a withered straw and threw it into the river, and suddenly the straw was snatched up by several fish.

This scene gave Qin Lin a blow to the head, such a simple truth, how could he not understand it after thinking about it for so long?

His whole body ejected, looking around, more and more determined in the thoughts in his heart, so it was.

"Dean, there is an answer!" he sat beside the dean excitedly, and couldn't help but be a little excited when he spoke, "I've figured it out." ”

"When doing things, guard against arrogance and rashness, you weren't like this before!" the dean raised the fishing rod again and put it in another place, "Don't think about it anymore?"

"But I can say it in advance, if your answer doesn't meet my expectations, you will stay here to cultivate in the future, and don't go anywhere. ”

Qin Lin thought about every word the dean said, and his answer was even more affirmative in his heart, "Okay!"

"Dean, this heaven, earth, grass, trees, rivers, fish, including the soil in the water, is a complete ecosystem!" Qin Lin sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "Water is not sourceless and rootless, water will evaporate and rise into the sky in its natural state, and when it is cold, it will condense into clouds, and it will rain when the clouds gradually accumulate into clouds." ”

"Trees absorb nutrients from the soil and water from the water to survive, and at the same time, they produce new nutrients from their birth, old age, sickness and death, which become nutrients for moistening the soil. ”

"And the earth absorbs the decaying leaves, nourishes itself, and at the same time gives birth to grass and trees. ”

"Fish in the water survive by eating dead leaves and weeds that fall on the surface of the river, and when they die, they turn into silt at the bottom of the water, which accumulate over time and become part of the soil. ”

"These are all things that can be seen on the surface!"

He said what was presented in his mind little by little, from top to bottom, in every detail, and he understood that to explain his point of view, he must be carefully observed.

"That's it?" the dean was a little curious, this kid had been thinking about these things for two months?

"Of course it's more than that!" Qin Lin said again, "What can be seen is the surface, and it is the truth to dissect the surface to see the essence." ”

"Such an ecosystem is actually the whole world. ”

"The water, the earth, and the clouds in the sky represent the rules of the operation of the heavens and the earth, and they are also the Tao. It was the first time Qin Lin had mentioned this meaning, which was too far away for him in the past, "And the trees and grass, as well as the fish in the water, are the species that live in the heavens and the earth, including all the demons and spiritual things. ”

Strictly speaking, everything in the world is nothing more than the right to live as much as possible under the rules of heaven and earth. ”

"How do you explain it?" the dean was a little confused, not knowing why, "Tell me more specifically." ”

Take this fish as an analogy, the fish can be regarded as a relatively large force in the world, he has his own freedom, can come and go freely between heaven and earth, but he can never escape the shackles of rules. ”

"In order to survive, the fish depends on the food provided by the trees and grasses, and he himself will become nutrients to feed the grass and trees. ”

"This is like the current situation in Jiangnan, the Su family and other big forces have strong strength, and they can bring them to and from Jiangnan as they like, but they will not choose to exterminate all the smaller forces, at most they will kill chickens and monkeys. ”

"Because they want to rule over these little families, to draw nourishment from them, but also to provide them with a safe environment in which to thrive. ”

"But this truth?" Qin Lin pondered for a moment after speaking, thinking about where there were any flaws in his statement, "Wherever this system is placed, it should be feasible." ”

"Well, that's good!" the dean thought about it, and finally nodded, "It's very vivid, very vivid." ”

"Today I taught me a lesson!" "The dean said frankly, this is something he has never considered, death is death, and he never cares about this, "If you can understand this truth, it can be regarded as a bit of wisdom." ”

"More than that, Dean, the most important view here is not finished. Qin Lin's heart tightened, from the dean's expression, he already knew that his answer should be wrong, but he still wanted to say what he thought in his heart, "You are the biggest scenery in this ecosystem." ”

"You made the bridge and the hut. Pointing to the bridge and the thatched hut, Qin Lin pointed to the dean again, "You are the rule-maker." ”

"When you build a bridge to connect the two sides of the land that were originally separated, it can be seen that you have changed the original rules, or it can be said that you have built a bridge of communication. ”

"When you build a hut, you also change the rules, so that there is a blank space in the place where the original rules were shrouded, and the rain can no longer be poured on the people in the house. ”

"You're fishing here, you're giving the fish a warning, you're also giving the fish rules and telling them that the game is only to be played this way. ”

"And you can catch fish and eat it, but you don't do that, you can look for food from somewhere else or you don't need food, it's a deterrent. ”

"Catch but don't catch, just so that the fish understand your horror and then stop, you need their deep fear of you, but so?"

In fact, the dean said it when he first came, but there was no association and new things derived, so Qin Lin only regarded it as an education, and he still remembered the angler theory at that time.

"Yes, your answer doesn't meet my standards, but it gives me a sense of light. The dean put down the rod and stood up, looking around, "It opened my mind." ”

"Just make it through by you!" the dean closed his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the bridge, the road, the hut, and everything around it.
