Chapter 52: The Old Man in the Mountains

The sword turns like a dragon, and the wind whistles.

Li Xing danced the sword in the stone forest all night, hearty.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning were exceptionally warm, shining on the earth and on Xuanling Mountain.

Bang~Bang~

The swift flying stones were like a storm, frantically encircling the young man inside.

Li Xing was dressed in tatters, and he held a sword against the Flying Stone Storm.

Boom!

Three swift flying stones in succession, Li Xing was smashed out of the formation.

"It's dawn. Li Xing looked up a little blankly, and the dazzling sunlight made his eyes unable to open.

The swept taste of the flying stone was really uncomfortable, but Li Xing's face was full of joy, and he practiced sword all night, and the receipt was far beyond imagination.

"Child, it's time for breakfast. At this time, Sun Lao came with a wooden basin.

The beautiful fragrance made Li Xing deeply attracted, and the tiredness of a night of cultivation was gone.

After eating, Li Xing no longer practiced swords, and his cultivation needed to be gradual and not rushed.

Li Xing, as always, slowly walked down the mountain.

It has been two years since the battle of the Yun family, and in the past two years, Li Xing has comprehended the five elements of heaven and earth every day, and has never slackened for a day, and his perception of the five elements of heaven and earth is also slowly improving.

However, no matter how Li Xing specialized in research, he just couldn't find that little bit of spiritual light, so as to break through the shackles of the remaining three articles.

Shout~

I saw Li Xing shuttling between the mountains and forests, sometimes climbing to the canopy, sometimes walking by the stream, and sometimes lying on the ground to feel the affinity of the soil.

At this time, Li Xing was strolling by the stream, feeling the murmuring of the stream.

"Ahem~" A coughing sound suddenly sounded, attracting Li Xing.

Li Xing followed the direction of the sound and looked, an old man was fishing by the stream.

"Grandpa, hello, junior Li Xing, there are many spirit beasts and monsters in this mountain, and the old man is here alone, which is really a bit dangerous. Li Xing walked up to the old man and said with some concern.

"Hehe, little one, you should still worry about yourself, the old man is old, and those beasts are not interested in me, but you, who are young and delicate, are the favorite of those fierce beasts. The old man laughed.

"Hehe, I'm fine. Li Xing smiled innocently and said seriously: "The spirit beasts and monsters in the mountains are all my friends, and they won't eat me." ”

Li Xing smiled innocently, and his vivid eyes narrowed slightly.

If the spirit beasts and demon beasts on Xuanling Mountain heard Li Xing's words, they would probably go crazy, and they would like to shoot Li Xing to death.

Whoever is friends with you, we want to eat you, but we have to be able to eat it.

"Oh~" The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, and finally raised his head and glanced at Li Xing, as if he had seen Li Xing inside and out.

Li Xing finally saw the old man's face clearly, although the old man had white hair, his expression was extremely majestic and solemn.

The vicissitudes of life, the white beard coveted, a pair of deep eyes, experienced thousands of lives.

Li Xing felt familiar with this feeling, and his eyes lit up after hesitation.

Mysterious Spirit!

This is how the former Xuan Ling gave Li Xing the feeling.

Li Xing suddenly felt that the old man was very close.

"At a young age, I have reached the innate spirit realm in qi training and physical training, and my talent is good. The old man spat out a faint word.

Li Xing frowned when he heard this, and looked at the other party with a look of jealousy.

Being able to see his own reality at a glance, the second elder once said to Li Xing that this is something that only a cultivator who cultivates to a higher level than himself can do.

"Little guy, don't worry, the old man is not interested in you, the old man is also familiar with the heaven-shaking sacred cow in the courtyard on the top of the mountain. The old angler said disapprehantly.

"Grandpa, do you know Grandpa Sun?" Li Xing blinked, the heaven-shaking divine cow in the other party's mouth was naturally Sun Lao in the courtyard on the top of the mountain.

"I don't know each other, but I've met once. The old angler replied lightly.

"Oh......" Li Xing nodded slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, so Li Xing sat down next to the old man, watched the other party fishing, looked at the stream in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Wow~

A fatty fish takes the bait.

"Little one. The old angler lifted the fishing rod and suddenly called Li Xing.

"Yes!" Li Xing woke up from his thoughts.

"Go pick up some wood. The old angler said.

"Aang?" Li Xing wondered if he had misheard.

"Go!" the old man frowned and urged.

"Oh......" Li Xing was a little dazed, then nodded, and went to the surrounding area to pick up some fallen branches.

A moment later.

Li Xing came running with a large number of branches larger than himself.

The old man was a little stunned, this kid is a bit real.

Li Xing poured the branch to the ground, and saw that the old man skillfully used some slightly thick branches as supports, and then placed the thin branches underneath.

With a flick of his fingers, a streamer flew in, and the flames immediately ignited the branches placed below.

When Li Xing saw this scene, he was finally sure that the other party was an immortal cultivator.

Crackling~

The old man took out a knife and disposed of the fat fish that had just been hoisted up, and then used the branch to bake on the flame.

A moment later.

A fresh fragrance wafted up.

Li Xing looked at the grilled fish in the old man's hand and unconsciously left saliva.

But the old man didn't seem to have any intention of giving it to Li Xing at all, so he bit off a large piece with a bite.

"Little one, look at your distressed look, what are you worried about, say it to make the old man happy...... No, let the old man listen. The old man sat on the ground eating grilled fish and looked at Li Xing.

Li Xing glanced at the old man, you definitely wanted to make you happy just now.

"It's nothing, it's just that some cultivation things are a little troublesome. Li Xing dealt with it casually, and he didn't want to talk about his distress everywhere.

"That's it?" the old man smiled, "Your troubles are already written on your face, let's hear it." ”

Li Xing frowned, how could there be people who were interested in the troubles of others, but the other party was a senior, and he couldn't help but respect him.

"Grandpa, do you know the five elements? Li Xing suddenly asked.

"Of course, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements are the supreme avenue, I see that there is a faint breath of the five elements between your eyebrows and feathers, and you can take the five elements of the Tao all the way, the five elements are mutually restrained, this road is not easy to walk. The old man shook his head slightly, thinking that the path Li Xing took was the same as the Five Elements Technique of Xuan Ling.

Li Xing was a little excited when he heard this, and the other party seemed to have some opinions about the five elements.

"Grandpa, do you know what wood is, what water is, and what earth is?" asked Li Xing expectantly.

"Look. The old man pointed to the trees in front of him and said, "This is wood." ”

"Look again. The old man pointed again, pointed to the babbling stream, and said, "This is water." ”

Knock!

At the same time, the old man tapped on the thick earth where he was sitting and said, "Look, what you are stepping on is earth." ”

The old man said a few words casually.

Li Xing rolled his eyes when he heard this, feeling that what the other party said was nonsense, and said secretly in his heart: I want you to say, who doesn't know that trees are wood, streams are water, and the earth is soil, I am asking what is.

However, the old man's words were very ordinary, but Li Xing felt that something seemed to be wrong.

A fatty grilled fish was quickly eaten by the old man, who stood up, dusted off his body, put away his fishing tools and prepared to leave.

"Little guy, you and I are fated to see each other, for the sake of your respect for the old man, I will give you a word. The old man said suddenly.

"Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing water is water, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing water is not water, seeing a mountain is just a mountain, seeing water is just water!"

"All things, just follow the essence ......" The old man's voice became farther and farther away, slowly moving away.

"Seeking the essence?" Li Xing was puzzled when he heard this, and when he looked up, he found that the figure of the old man was no longer there.

"Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing water is water, this is easy to understand, a mountain is a mountain, and water is water. ”

"But why, when you see a mountain, you don't see a mountain, and when you see water, you don't see water. ”

"And since it's not a landscape, why is it that seeing a mountain is just a mountain, and seeing water is just water?" Li Xing felt deeply puzzled.

At the same time, Li Xing remembered the old man's previous actions, and pointed to the mountains and forests and trees, and said, "That is wood", pointed to the gurgling stream, said that it was water, and pointed to the thick earth, and said that it was soil.

"I don't understand, it's too profound, it's a headache. Li Xing was a little crazy.
