Chapter Ninety-Four: Asking for self-reflection
Returning to the lively and noisy city, looking at the crowds of people in different costumes and coming and going, Yan Ning no longer had the rather vigilant and restless anxiety in his heart.
Wandering all the way, before nightfall, they returned to the cave mansion provided by the Wu family for them.
Mo Li stood on the tip of the treetops in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking at the delicate red burning clouds in the sky, stunned, not knowing what he was thinking...
The white clothes are better than the snow, the evening breeze is blowing, the ribbon around the waist is gently fluttering, and the green silk is flying between the temples, revealing the well-defined British and beautiful side face. The beautiful figure of the fairy in the sword, with the swing of the treetops slightly undulating, reflecting the red glow of the sunset on the horizon, the two seem to be compatible together, picturesque and beautiful.
Yan Ning was unconsciously amazed again, every time he saw Mo Li, he had a feeling of looking up to the mountains, regardless of the emotions between men and women, he was attracted by the indescribable and inexplicable temperament of the other party.
Is it because every time she appears, she stands at an angle that needs to be looked up?
Yan Ning silently found a reasonable excuse for himself in his heart....
Xie Kun, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, looked at Mo Li on the treetops not far away in a daze, the admiration in his eyes was as tender as water, undisguised, and nodded from time to time.
Along the way, Xie Dashao's affection for Mo Li was the blind cow steward in the caravan, and he could see it clearly. However, Mo Li has always turned a blind eye, which is no different from others to him.
Xie Dashao, who was helpless, saw that Yue Ling'er and Mo Li were unusually in love, and the two had a tendency to hate each other, so he decisively used a colorful hairpin like a treasure to successfully win over Yue Ling'er to give him advice, which can be regarded as a detour from the flanks to seek a breakthrough.
It was a superb magic weapon that made Yan Ning a little blushing, not to mention Yue Ling'er, who had always regarded wealth as his life. The two hit it off immediately, and they were very familiar with each other as brothers, which meant that they were embarrassed.
I don't know what kind of mood Xie Kun would have felt after knowing that Yue Ling'er had received the magic weapon, and then turned his head and sold his plan to Mo Li.
"Didn't you go out for a walk?"
Yan Ning, who slowly walked into the courtyard, opened his mouth to break the tranquility of the courtyard.
"Brother Yan, you're back!"
"Brother Yan!"
Xie Kun lazily leaned on the stone bench and saluted, which was regarded as a greeting. Yan Ning didn't care either, he had been like this since he first saw him, as if he wasn't interested in anything except Mo Li.
Yue Ling'er jumped to Yan Ning's side briskly, pouted and said, "Didn't you ask Ling'er to wait here for you to come back, how could I go out and hang out alone!"
Between the words, Yan Ning left her alone and went out alone, looking very dissatisfied, and her tone was full of complaints.
"I'm asking Mo Daoyou and Xie Daoyou, do you think too much?" Yan Ning pulled back the sleeves that were pulled back without looking for a trace, and blinked, as if to tell her that she had gained something when she went out.
Yue Ling'er received the hint tacitly, and made a grimace with a happy look.
Then he nodded to Mo Li, who was flying down, and said hello.
"Hey, what's there to shop around in a place where this kind of bird doesn't? If you encounter something that doesn't open your eyes, it will not only cause you to be angry, but also cause a commotion, wouldn't it be unlucky!" Xie Kun waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Yan Ning nodded thoughtfully.
The current 'Lang Yuzhou' can be said to be mixed, and the disciples of the major forces are entrenched in it, waiting for the opening of the 'Mirror Gate Light Margin'. Among them, there are always some young and vigorous people with deep self-sustaining backgrounds and superb means, and they will shoot at each other when they disagree. What's more, they are here specifically for the sake of fame.
Characters like Mo Li and Xie Kun, who are dazzling wherever they go, will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention, although with their strength and background, they will definitely not be afraid of those who are asking for trouble, but once this kind of thing is contaminated, it is an extremely headache!
Beat the small, come out of the old, and finally take out the name of the ancestors, know that the strength is not enough, then immediately regret, grovel apology and beg for mercy;
Presumably, the two of them also deliberately avoided this possible situation, which is why Xie Kun complained.
This also made Yan Ning's impression of Xie Kun greatly changed.
originally thought that his image of a magnanimous young man with eyes above the top was exactly when he should go outside to shake off his majesty and expose his domineering, but he didn't expect that he was acting in a relaxed manner and had a very deep bearing.
Yan Ning went out and got the information he wanted, he was in a good mood, and he had the heart to find out some more news about the 'Mirror Gate Light Margin' from Xie Kun and Mo Li, and after sitting down, he took out a rare set of exquisite tea sets and posed as if he was invited to sit and discuss.
Yan had a question in his heart, and he didn't know if Xie Daoyou could give advice. After inviting everyone to sit down, Yan Ning asked lightly.
"Brother Yan doesn't have to be polite, as long as he can say it, Ben Shao will never hide it!" Xie Kun shook the few bracelets on his wrist with a 'clang' sound, and said proudly.
"With Xie Daoyou's net worth, I can't really see the things in the 'mirror gate'. Why would you come to this remote place for tens of thousands of years to seek opportunities?" Yan Ning's fingertips twitched lightly, and he was extremely skilled in cooking tea and cloth, while asking seemingly random questions.
"Hey, I thought Brother Yan was going to ask something!" Xie Kun chuckled and sighed, then raised his hand, and said with emotion: "The road of cultivating immortals is long and far, how can you be in a corner of peace, so you can be complacent!
Yan Ning's movements in his hands froze, and his heart was as shocked as an empowerment, but he also felt a little unbelievable!!
Xie Kun, who was out of tune, was able to say such remarks that made him a little sobering.
However, the next paragraph made this somewhat solemn atmosphere at the beginning instantly come to naught!
I saw that he sighed, took out a folding fan and shook it, looked up to the sky and continued with a long sigh: "Hey, it seems that this is a young talent, even if he is lucky like a rainbow and admired by thousands of people, he still does not dare to be complacent and slack. Only by using my wise eyes to see all the ways in this world, and then stepping into this oasis with a mere flesh and blood, and experiencing the suffering of all things with a warm blood and compassion, can I live up to God's love for me and ask above the clouds! Ashamed, ashamed, let Brother Yan laugh!"
Shocked by Xie Kun's boasting, Yan Ning was really a little dumbfounded.
Such a shameless act simply refreshed his cognition of brazenness, and he didn't know how to take his words for a while, but what came out of his mouth, I am afraid I can't believe it.....
"Didn't you come after Sister Mo Li?" Yue Ling'er interjected inappropriately, with disdain in her eyes and a sincere tone.
It was as if there was an invisible slap in the face, slapping the Chosen Son, who exuded divine brilliance, back to the mortal dust....
"Ahem, ahem.. !!" Xie Kun's cheeks were so red that he was stunned, and he instantly broke his work.
"Drink tea, drink tea, the two of you taste Yan's craftsmanship. Yan Ning resolved the current embarrassment in time.
"Hmm.... Not bad, not bad! The aroma is quiet, condensed and long, and Yan Daoyou is a master in this!" Xie Kun took the teacup, and commented like no one else.
"It's just entertainment, you can't be called a master!" Yan Ning responded very modestly.
"It's really good, this tea also has the effect of refreshing the mind!" After Mo Li took a sip, he also opened his mouth to admire, and then looked at Yan Ning and asked, "Yan Daoyou wants to ask something about the 'Mirror Gate Light Margin', right?"
Mo Li is Mo Li, she doesn't beat around the bush at all, she has always been so straight.
Yan Ning said abruptly: "Yan does have such an idea, and I hope the two of you can tell me freely." ”
"Maybe I'm going to disappoint my fellow Daoists, Mo Li actually doesn't know much about the 'Mirror Gate', but I heard people mention it in the 'Fengming Pavilion', so I came to find out with the intention of traveling and hunting, and there was no special purpose. Mo Li's tone was light and calm, unabashed.
Just when Yan Ning was a little disappointed, he heard Mo Li continue to speak: "But when Xie Kun is in front, a few of us will act together, and I think there should be a good harvest in the future." ”
Yan Ning was a little confused by her headless words, but seeing that the other party said it vaguely, it was not easy to continue to ask.
On the contrary, Xie Kun was rarely mentioned by Mo Li, and it was still a very positive affirmation, and he was full of joy for a while, looking very complacent, and he vigorously waved his chest to assure that following him would definitely make everyone make a lot of money on this trip.
Yue Ling'er seemed to be extremely resentful of his extremely arrogant appearance, and frequently made sarcastic remarks, the two of them fought with each other, you come and go, and the atmosphere seems cheerful and harmonious.
The topic quickly moved from the site of the 'Mirror Gate' to anecdotes, and then to the discussion of the path of cultivation.
Mo Li and Xie Kun are both young leaders with profound backgrounds and origins; as a true disciple of the Southern Regions Sect, Yu Ning has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, not only covering a wide range of subjects, but also having profound opinions; that is, Yue Ling'er, who mainly focuses on alchemy, also has her very unique views on the matter of practicing alchemy.
Everyone expressed their own opinions, expounding their own experiences during the practice, as well as the problems and perceptions they encountered, sometimes applauding, sometimes sighing and repenting, and some of them holding their own opinions-for-tat, and some of them talked eloquently that attracted admiration.
Through this in-depth conversation, several people have become more acquainted, have a deeper understanding of each other, and can be regarded as having some recognition in the real sense.
Yan Ning also knew that the reason why Mo Li and Xie Kun traveled tens of thousands of miles to the eastern part of the Chisha Continent was not just to appreciate different customs and enhance their experience. The main purpose is to completely clarify the path of cultivation in the future, how to travel, and what way is the most suitable direction for oneself through long-term experience and precipitation.
The cultivation of the two of them has reached the point where it is time to prepare for the condensation of the golden pill. Only by further examining oneself and washing away the false and retaining the true can we make the path of cultivation go further and smoother.
This step is like clearing the fog in the gloom and seeing the blue sky, the strong will be reached!
Xie Kun had a sentence that was right before!
Hongchen refining his heart, Xianlu asked.... Only after experiencing chance and calamity can we see the way and identify the whereabouts.
Blindly burying one's head in penance is piling up cultivation to the realm of Jindan, which looks radiant, but in fact it is like a rootless ping, a sourceless water, ethereal, without any foundation at all, and it will be broken at the touch of a button. If you want to make further progress, it is difficult to get through even the level of the inner demon.
These elite disciples of the great power inheritance, which one is not an ambitious son of the sky, how can they be satisfied and stay in the realm of Jindan, and after hundreds of years, they will turn into dry bones.
This step is also the condensation of the Dao mind that is often mentioned in the mouths of cultivators!!
No matter how long and amazing your inheritance is, and how powerful your resource background is, you need to experience and confirm it step by step through yourself. Teachers and background resources can guide you and make people see wider and farther, but they can't replace you in the end.
However, Yan Ning also asked herself, where should her spiritual goal be?
In the past, when I was in Cangyun Sect, my life was easy and comfortable, and at that time, I thought that I could continue to practice step by step, glorify the sect, and live up to the teacher's kindness, which was the greatest wish and expectation;
But this is obviously not the target direction that can push and carry his own cultivation all the way forward.
The elites of their peers are already working hard to go further on the path of cultivation in the future, so where should they go?
The path of cultivation is long, and after seeing the countless prosperity and excitement in this world, Yan Ning is no longer the immature young man who once only focused on the Cangyun Sect.
The arrogance in my heart that I think I am not weak to others is stirred up by these two sons of heaven in the Chisha Continent!!
The avenue is contending, the top of the green clouds, he Yanning also wants to go up and see the scenery on this top of the mountain!
However, what kind of attitude should I take to fight through obstacles and move forward bravely?
What should be the heart of the Tao that carries and supports all this?
Yan Ning has been practicing for decades, and for the first time, he really began to examine himself and find the path he should take......
