This time, however, Katrin didn't answer, and didn't seem to be very confident in herself.

Mary did not question why Catlyn did not say a word, but continued: "Now you have to decide, remember, you must be obedient to your heart, do not deceive yourself, your future is only for you to choose, and I will not interfere or reject your judgment." ”

Fett nodded suddenly, and said, "Master, I have already made a decision. ”

Now that you have the answer, speak up. ”

"I decided that I wanted to go on a training trip to the world, and the retreat didn't seem to fit my personality. Maybe you have to wait until you have enough experience to reach the realm of your dreams. Even if it doesn't work, I'm going to have to try. ”

"Well, your choice didn't surprise me. There are many places worth visiting, and you may be involved in all kinds of dangerous events, but you will also gain many valuable experiences. The deeper you understand this world, the more truths you can comprehend, and this will undoubtedly help you in your spiritual practice.

As a teacher, I only hope that you will remember one sentence, stick to your original intention, and never forget the ultimate purpose of your practice. Unlike ordinary people, monks are vulnerable to the attention of the higher realms, and they must be cautious in their every move, and must maintain absolute sanity at all times. Learn to see through the surface and grasp the truth. You must not fall into Vanity Fair, let alone abuse your power.

It is best not to think from one's own point of view, but to know how to look at the situation from the perspective of others. Punish evil and promote good, but one thing should be remembered, good and evil cannot be arbitrarily distinguished. Practicing "hypocrisy" is tantamount to doing evil, and how can 'vajra subjugate demons' be described by the word 'evil'? If we want to see through right and wrong, we can only rely on wisdom and speculation to clear the clouds and mist and make the truth known to the world. ”

Mary's words made Fett and Catelyn awe-inspired, and reverence sparked in their eyes, and the aura of "Master" seemed to become even more dazzling at this moment.

"Master" is not only a guide on the path of cultivation, but also a guide on the road of life.

And Mary apparently did both perfectly.

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Although Master has been teaching us the philosophy of life over the years, Fang Cai's words have shocked the disciple the most, and even the words 'benefited a lot' are difficult to describe how I feel now. ”

Fitt had a special urge in her heart to give Mary a hug to express her sincerest gratitude, but simple words could no longer convey her current mood.

As long as you keep in mind what Master said today, you will not go astray in the future. After experiencing the various situations in the world, you will only gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the world. How to see a rainbow without wind and rain, some truths cannot be understood in a few words, and you need to slowly explore in this hustle and bustle. ”

"Master, I understand. I must taste all the things in the world, there is no shortage of ups and downs, stick to my heart in the mud, and experience the true meaning of cultivation. ”

"May you be like the lotus in the water, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. ”

Before Fett could reply, Mary turned to Catelyn and continued to ask questions.

"What about you, Carter, do you have a completely different idea from your senior sister?"

"I..."

For some reason, Katrin stopped talking at this point, as if there was something unspeakable.

"In this world, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, the choice is never high or low, and the road is different and you can still reach the same destination, don't cling to the hypocritical appearance, and express your views well. You should also keep in mind that there are no superior or inferior Fa, and only what suits you is the best way to practice. ”

"Master, the disciple can't leave Ryan alone and go to the red dust alone. Ryan has been working hard to cultivate, hoping to one day reach the realm of his dreams. But we all know that his qualifications are not outstanding, and if I leave him like this, his future path of cultivation will be extremely difficult.

The contents of the 'Elemental Secret Codex' may be difficult for him to read on his own. Every time I impart knowledge to him, I have to do it in the most concise and clear way.

Otherwise, he will be confused. Now that I have become Lane's Master, I must take up my duty to be by his side and continue to help him through all the difficulties ahead. ”

Mary was moved by Katrin's words, and her eyes lit up with approval.

However, Fitt questioned at the moment, and did not seem to understand Katrin's worries.

"Carter, why not just take Ryan with you on your travels?

"Senior sister, I have thought about the method you mentioned, but in the end I found that it was impossible to do it at all. Ryan's cultivation is too low to survive in the strife of the rivers and lakes, and the mortal world is like a swamp of chaos, which is too dangerous for him. ”

Fett tried to interject, but was immediately stopped by Katrin.

"I understand what you're trying to say, but I can't. I don't have enough ability, I'm just just stepping into the Dacheng realm, and I can't protect him all the time in that troubled world. Have you ever wondered about the difference between protecting yourself and protecting others? The difficulty of the two is simply not the same. If I can't keep him safe, taking him into this troubled world will undoubtedly push him into the fire pit, and that kind of end is too cruel. ”

When Fett heard Catlyn's words, he fell silent.

The awkward silence lasted for a moment, until Fitt said apologetically, "Carter, I was wrong. I think it's too simple. ”

Katrin shook her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't blame you." ”

Then Katrin turned to Mary and said solemnly, "I have also made a decision, I will stay with Ryan and continue to be his master." I believe that even if I don't travel around the world, I can still rely on perseverance and diligence to achieve my dreams. ”

"Well said, that's right. Everyone has a completely different philosophy, and their life trajectories must be different, so why deliberately imitate each other if they are not suitable. ”

Katrin said to Fett at this time: "Senior sister, when you come back next time, I will have a competition with you, so that you can see the efficiency of 'working behind closed doors'." ”

"Haha, of course you can, if I lose, I won't continue to wander anymore, and I'll accompany you in retreat and cultivation. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, although they knew that each other was just joking, but this agreement had been quietly engraved in the depths of their memories.

When Mary saw that the two had finished talking, she said "Epilogue".

"Now that both of you have made your decision, let's work towards your own goals, Master can only help you get here, and the future is under your own feet. ”

Fett and Catelyn saluted Mary at the same time and bowed to the ground.

"Thank you Master for your painstaking cultivation, and I will definitely live up to your expectations. ”

"Master's kindness in passing on the arts, the disciple will not dare to forget it for the rest of his life, and he will repay it in the future. ”

Katrin and Fett said one after another, and although their words were different, they both meant the same thing.

They will always remember this kindness in their hearts.

For Catherine, although Mary was her mother, she knew that not every elder could do that tirelessly.

For Mary's second identity, Catlyn has only endless admiration in her heart.

The word "Master" is extremely heavy, and the responsibility on her shoulders is no less than that of her closest relatives, which Catelyn herself deeply understands, so she can better understand Mary's hardships in the past ten years.

"Although I feel physically and mentally exhausted at times, the feeling of relief when I see my disciples finally get ahead one day is beyond words, and this is the joy of being a teacher. If Ryan succeeds in stepping into the realm of sublimation in the future, I think he will also have tears in his eyes, and that sense of accomplishment will really make people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves. ”

Mary said to Fett, who had just raised her head, "Fett, before you leave here and go out into the world, you still have to complete the last challenge left by the Master. ”

"Master, I know what this challenge is, even if you don't

If I say it, I have to do it. Otherwise, there is no point in wandering the world. ”

The past ten years of getting along have made this pair of masters and apprentices feel like each other, and there is no difference between them and their biological mother and daughter.

"Then let's listen to it and see if there is a tacit understanding between our master and apprentice. ”

"There are dozens of volumes of the 'Elemental Secret Codex', and I am not proficient in the space spells yet, so I can't open my own storage space for the time being, so naturally I can't carry these bamboo slips on the road. And there is a more important reason why I can't take away this set of 'Elemental Secret Books', that is, my junior sister and junior brother still rely on it to cultivate.

If I carry the 'Elemental Secret Codex' on the road, wouldn't it be equivalent to harming them? Therefore, I must memorize all the contents of this set of 'Elemental Secret Codex' before I set out, and keep it deep in my mind, so that I can cultivate at any time in the future without worrying about the future. ”

"You can go to my room now and take the twenty bamboo slips, and return them when you memorize them." Remember, you must memorize it completely before you go on the road, otherwise if you make a mistake in your practice in the future, you will go crazy, and you will regret it at that time. ”

"Don't worry, if you can't memorize it well, the disciple will never leave here half a step. ”

"Alright, that's the end of today's discussion, and you two can do your part from now on. ”

So from this day on, Fett devoted himself to reciting the contents of the "Elemental Secret Codex".

As in the past, Katrin switched back and forth between the two identities of cultivator and master, because Fett had taken all the Elemental Secret Books, and she could not acquire new knowledge for the time being, but she was not in a hurry, and it was very important for her to review and consolidate her past knowledge.

"With Senior Sister's ability, memorizing the contents of these twenty volumes of the 'Elemental Secret Codex' is easy and effortless. At most, I need to wait for a week or so, which is just the right time to rehearse everything I have learned in the past, after all, you can only learn new things by reviewing the past. ”

Sure enough, as Catlyn expected, it only took Fett five days to memorize the twenty volumes of the "Elemental Secret Codex", and every word was clearly imprinted in his mind.

Fett was ready by this point, and she sent the Elemental Secret Book to its place, saying goodbye to Mary, Katrin, and Ryan before leaving.

Katrin was very fond of this approachable, gentle and considerate sister, and the relationship between them became deeper and deeper after ten years of spending time together, and they were inseparable from each other.

When the moment of parting came, Katrin finally couldn't hold back the sad thread in her heart and released it to her heart's content.

She threw herself at Fit, took her into her arms, and lay on Fit's chest crying so hard that her tears soaked Fit's clothes, which looked so pitiful and distressing.

It was the first time Fett had seen such an emotional side of Katrin, and it was very different from the usual cheerful her. So Fett hugged Katrin tightly, gently stroked her hair, and comforted, "Don't cry, don't cry." After my sister wanders around the world, she will definitely come back, and then we will not be separated again. ”

Catherine looked up, her teary-eyed little face so endearing, and she looked at Fett with a suspicious gaze, and asked softly, "Really?" ”

"Of course, has Senior Sister ever deceived you?"

"Then we will make up our minds, and we must not go back on it in the future. Katrin said earnestly.

Fett raised his right hand and made a sworn gesture, saying, "A word is a decision, and there will be no repentance." ”

When Katrin saw the movement of Fett's hand and the solemn expression, she knew that Fett was by no means perfunctory, and a smile of joy immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Senior sister, I will always wait for you to come back. ”

But at this moment, neither of them could predict the cruelty of fate, and an incomparably simple agreement could also become a regret that could not be erased for the rest of their lives.

This is the rest of your life.

This is also eternal.
