Next, Gongsun Yuling came out with cups of fragrant tea, one cup per person.

Ji Ren took a sip of the teacup and said, "I remember that in the past, when my grandfather was a child, my father was unable to follow him to work in the fields because he was weak and sick, and my grandfather would talk to my father about his past after finishing farm work. ”

"I remember what we talked about. ”

"Among them, the most impressive thing for me is that my grandmother is actually the daughter of a rich family. I haven't told anyone about this, but I'll tell you about it when I'm free. ”

Ji Mingyu said curiously: "Daddy, grandmother is the daughter of a rich and noble family, what about grandfather?"

Ji Ren smiled and said, "Grandfather, that's a big stupid person who has only studied private school for two years, just like your father and me. ”

Eh!!

Ji Mingyu was shocked and said: "Grandfather is the same as father, then grandfather is not a god from heaven, why hasn't Mingyu seen grandfather?

Ji Ren smiled and patted her head, "Grandfather and grandmother obeyed the will of heaven and returned early. ”

Ji Mingyu looked back at Qingqing incomprehensibly, "Mother, what do you mean to conform to the will of heaven and return?"

Qingbai smiled slightly and replied: "It's my grandfather and grandmother who completed their task and went back, and they are no longer in the human world." ”

Ji Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and went back? Isn't that dead?

Ji Ren continued: "According to my grandmother, my grandfather was upright, considerate, and knew how to take care of her, so my grandmother left her hometown with my grandfather and went to a place where no one knew them and started a new life. ”

Ji Fan asked, "But, isn't this unfilial?"

Ji Ren nodded slightly, "Well, it looks like this, but Dad doesn't know much about the ups and downs, so Dad can't say anything." The most important thing is that you should keep in mind that no matter what happens, you must discuss it with your father and mother, who are not unreasonable people. ”

Ji Fan and Mingyu nodded, remembering this sentence deeply.

Ji Ren looked at the expressions of the two children and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Okay, Dad will talk to you again, what is the Tao. ”

Ji Mingyu raised his hand and said, "Daddy, Mingyu knows." ”

Ji Ren was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Then Mingyu said, what is the Tao." ”

Ji Mingyu said seriously: "The ancients said that the Tao is chaotic, invisible, intangible, and invisible. ”

Ji Ren listened and nodded, "Well, there are three points of truth. ”

Ji Mingyu's face was happy, "Daddy, is what Mingyu said right?"

Ji Ren smiled and said, "It's right and wrong." ”

"Ah?!" Ji Mingyu was puzzled: "Daddy, why is it right and wrong?"

Ji Ren said: "What is Tao, it is the root of all things in heaven and earth, and there is an ineffable ontology that exists in nature and earth, which seems to be there and seems to be nothing. ”

Ji Mingyu listened a little misty and muttered, "Yes...... No ......"

Ji Ren smiled and said: "Everything and everything, all respect the Tao, monks practice, in fact, is also cultivation, those monks who shout slogans and say against the sky, in fact, are just shouting." ”

Ji Fan asked, "Dad, why is it just shouting against the sky?"

Ji Ren's left hand was spread out on the table, and a vague figure was slowly walking in place, "You see, this person is walking between heaven and earth, which is itself a manifestation of respecting the Tao. ”

He placed his right hand on top of the figure, and a cloud of mist was born, and a trace of drizzle was sprinkled.

"God, high up, nothing, how can he rebel?"

Ji Fan shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Ji Mingyu guessed: "Daddy, since there is nothing in the sky, then why do they still go against the sky?"

Ji Ren's right hand shook, and thunder flashed, and the person on his left hand was startled and hurriedly scurried to the end.

"You remember, there are all the ways in the world, the Tao is the way, the evil way, the divine way, the demon way, and the killing way are all the way, but the only way that can last is the right way for people. ”

"The reason why the righteous path can last for a long time is because anyone, even ordinary people who have not cultivated, can cultivate, and he doesn't need to say any conditions, and this is the true righteous path. ”

Yang Ning was confused and asked, "Ordinary people who have not cultivated the Dao, is that still the Dao?"

Ji Ren nodded slightly and replied seriously.

"Yes, in the underworld, as long as you cultivate the right path, you will have a place in the realm of the earth after you pass away in the future. ”

"But we also have to know that the right path is easy to cultivate, but it is also difficult to cultivate, and everything not only needs to rely on yourself, but also requires your blessings to be sufficient, which is ...... for some people After all, it's a little harder. ”

Nangong Huang'er hesitated: "If that's the case, then can this righteous path still be cultivated?"

Gongsun Yuling smiled and said, "Of course you can cultivate, my husband's words have been said very clearly." ”

Ji Ren smiled and slowly explained to everyone, and slowly described the Tao in his heart one by one.

This is not only his way, but also the way of heaven and earth.

As he preached, the aura around Mt. Aoki was curling, and the green onions were quietly green.

Those Aoki Mountain disciples who had just returned from the battlefield were somewhat inevitably a little demonic, and it was inevitably a little difficult to calm down when cultivating.

But at this moment, they inexplicably felt at ease, and their hearts that could not be calmed down slowly calmed down.

And slowly, not only Aoki Mountain, but also the other Eight Mountains and the entire academy began to have a strong aura.

The whole atmosphere is a state of tranquility, peace, and calm, and the hearts that are somewhat disturbed by the Quartet defense line are quiet and stable at this moment.

No one knew why, but they all understood that it was a blessing from heaven.

......

......

Led by Qingcang County, the east is heavily garrisoned around the forbidden area of the dragon prison, using this as a line of defense to resist the army of gods and demons entering the hinterland of the Eastern Regions with a single sword.

But now, this place with birds and flowers, pleasant climate, and warmth like water has become a hell on earth.

Under the strong offensive of the gods and demons, the surrounding counties led by Qingcang, except for Qingcang County, were all beaten and miserable.

Not to mention the loss of armor, not to mention the flow of fart and urine, even the old, weak, sick and disabled in many places have been directly abandoned.

Even the children only pick the good ones to take away, and the rest ......

Either it is the bait in the mouth of the demons, or the revenant soul under the butcher's knife of the Protoss.

Everything is simply angry and resentful, and people can't ignore it.

Originally, the East, with its pleasant climate, was supposed to be a gathering place for gentle and elegant sages, but now it seems that there are more vicious people.

The situation in the East, in the North, and in the West is not optimistic.

Ji Ren walked in a small town in Xinlin County, looking at the shops on both sides of the threshold flat, but not open, and couldn't help but shake his head.

There are still traces of people coming and going on the street, but no one is in sight.

Along the way, dozens of eyes were quietly watching him.

Those eyes are all abandoned old people, sick people, and people who can't walk or endure

Infirm people who travel long distances.

They are on guard every day, and they don't know when the gods and demons will hit here.

Ji Ren walked to a river, looked at the clean and fishless water, and sighed.

"The once lively and prosperous county town has become a lifeless dead city in the blink of an eye. ”

"Is it because the strength of the Eastern Regions is weak, or because the hearts of the people are long gone. ”

Syllable!

A small stone slammed into Ji Ren's head.

A boy about twelve years old, with a sackcloth covering his left eye, stood next to a house, glaring at Ji Ren with a fierce and wary look.

Ji Ren squatted down and reached out to caress the water as if nothing happened.

"Not afraid of me?"

After a while, the boy didn't answer, still staring at Ji Ren viciously and vigilantly.

"Where's your family?"

Ji Ren got up and shook his hand and looked back at him.

The boy let go of his left hand, there were still a few stones in his palm, and he picked up one with his right hand and threw it at Ji Ren.

The small stone flew quickly and accurately towards Ji Ren's head, and at the moment when it was about to be dropped, it suddenly stopped.

Ji Ren held the small stone in his right hand, looked at it, and smiled: "It's good, don't talk if you don't speak." ”

He turned away indifferently and didn't take the matter to heart.

It's just that the boy doesn't seem to want him to leave so unharmed.

He took all the stones in his right hand, gritted his teeth and did his best, and threw them at Ji Ren again.

Ji Ren turned around and raised his hand, and a few small stones immediately stopped in front of him, and said curiously: "You are neither afraid of me, nor do you speak, and blindly throw stones at me...... I can't guess what you're thinking. ”

The boy looked at Ji Ren in a daze, and then turned around and ran through the street, into a small house in the alley.

Ha, ha...

He took a small breath and looked into the long hallway, behind the dilapidated door, there was an old woman lying weakly.

The old woman was the elder who adopted him, and she was the one who raised him alone.

The old woman has been unwell since last year, and has been getting worse recently.

And her original children, instead of coming to take care of her, still didn't care about her body.

Before leaving, he also robbed the old man of his money, and the one who robbed the old woman of his money...... It happened to be her grandson who could practice.

The boy was also smart, and he knew that the people who dared to walk here at this time were either monks or big men of status.

He did this just to bring people over and save his grandmother.

If he can't save it, then he has no regrets, he only hates himself for being powerless.

"I see. ”

Ji Ren leaned quietly against the wall and looked up at the old woman behind the door.

Yes!

The boy turned around and screamed, stumbling and falling to the ground.

"Y-Why are you here?"

Ji Ren looked down at his scared expression and smiled, "Didn't you want me to save your grandmother?"

The boy's eyes widened, and he looked at Ji Ren in a daze, "You, you, how do you know...... of!?"

Ji Ren moved and walked towards the house.

"Your heart told me. ”

The boy said incredulously, "I, my heart!?"

"No, I've never spoken to you, there's no way you know about me!"

The boy shook his head in disbelief and said firmly.
