Chapter Forty-Eight: The Heart of the Dao

Lu Yanning returned to his courtyard, pushed the door directly into the bedroom, and didn't even see the two outer disciples who had just returned from the courtyard saluting and greeting, there was only one thing in his mind: why do you want to cultivate?

Ou Zhiyuan asked Li Ru'er in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, what's wrong?"

Li Ru'er shook her head and said softly: "I guess I'm thinking about something, we just need to do our own thing, Uncle Shi's business is not something we should worry about." ”

Lu Yanning, who entered the room, closed his eyes and recalled his dreamy life under the effect of "A World Flower", his wife and children are really good, and it is very cool to become famous, but when life is gone, everything is empty.

As for "purifying sentient beings", or "benefiting sentient beings", or others, for Lu Yanning, he has not yet reached such a high level. Of course, he is still very willing to do it to help others within his ability, including in his dream life, and he has also done a lot of charity, although it is only illusory, but it also shows that he actually had this idea in his heart.

Perhaps, this is related to the idea that the Chinese people have always been "poor are good for themselves, and good is good for the world".

Thinking about it, Lu Yanning still can't forget what he said at the end of his dream: "I still have a lot of things I haven't done, there are still many people I haven't seen, and there are still many scenery I haven't seen!"

Don't say anything about being at ease, at least, through cultivation, you can prolong your life, so that you can have more time to do what you want to do, to meet the people you want to see, and to see the scenery you want to see.

The sage has a saying that "the nature of eating color is also", and the nature of human beings is to desire to eat color, and success also eats color, and defeat also eats color. It's just that for Lu Yanning, these two things dare not be said to be detached, but at least they can be self-controlled, at least to a certain extent, they are dispensable for him. For example, "food", if you want to eat, you can eat a lot, the cultivator's body qiqi ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, it is rumored that the predecessors could eat a cow for one meal, and then they didn't have to eat it for a month. Although Lu Yanning can't cook a meal and eat a cow, it is still no problem to eat the food needed by two or three people, and if there is a need, he can also open the grain for ten days.

Therefore, the demand for food has decreased a lot compared to ordinary people.

As for color, Lu Yanning has refined most of his essence through cultivation, and the demand for color is not great, at least he can hold it.

Of course, the word "food" is only the most basic. What he wants at the moment is to be more relaxed and comfortable, not the so-called leisurely and comfortable that is completely detached from the mortal world, but the kind that he can go if he wants to, and he will not be unable to go because of age.

"Perhaps, this is my Dao Heart, right? at least the prototype of the Dao Heart. For this purpose, I am willing to endure hardship, sweat, and even bleed! I am willing to try to enjoy loneliness!" At a certain time in Lu Yanning's heart, a special aura flashed on his body, or formed or condensed a trace of special temperament.

In fact, what he didn't know was that loneliness was the fundamental way to hone the Dao heart, and compared to loneliness, the so-called sweat, tears, and blood were just pediatrics. Only when he truly learns to enjoy loneliness can he truly begin the process of condensing his Dao heart!

He still thinks about the "Dao Heart" too simply. Everyone's Dao heart is different, but learning to enjoy loneliness is the first step!

After a simple explanation, Lu Yanning felt that his heart was much more transparent, and he was full of passion for cultivation.

Of course, he also understood a truth because of his life in a dream: pay more attention to the people around him, and don't miss some people and things because of all kinds of so-called busy, so-called and so on.

Lu Yanning stood up, remembering that when he came back before, he saw someone in the courtyard and walked out of the bedroom, and sure enough, Ou Zhiyuan and Li Ruer were back.

When the two saw Lu Yanning come out, they saluted and said, "I've seen Uncle Lu." ”

Lu Yanning waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and said to Li Ru'er: "Li Ru'er, go and help me get something to eat." ”

After Li Ru'er left to work, Lu Yanning sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and asked, "Ou Zhiyuan, can you grow tea and make tea?"

"Uncle Hui, I will. Ou Zhiyuan asked, "Uncle Shi, what are you?"

"It's nothing, I see that there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants planted in the second senior brother's courtyard, and our courtyard is empty, it seems a pity, so I thought about whether to plant a few teas, and there will be tea to drink when I go back?" Lu Yanning said with a smile. In fact, he still didn't say anything, and he made up his mind to cultivate well, so the resource consumption in the cultivation process could not be ignored, thinking about planting some tea, which would have a little bit of a small output, and could save some money on buying tea.

Ou Zhiyuan said with some hesitation: "Uncle Shi, it's not impossible to grow tea, but it feels a bit wasteful, it's better to plant some spiritual fruits." Uncle, don't you know? The second-generation disciples all have their own tea gardens, and the disciples have already arranged for someone to help Uncle Shi take care of it, and there should be a harvest soon this year. ”

"??? else is there such a thing?" Lu Yanning really didn't know, and asked, "Uniformly distributed within the faction?"

"Yes, unless the second-generation disciples go to cultivate and plant on their own, they will get about 100 catties of spiritual tea every year, and the rest needs to be handed over to the sect and distributed to the disciples who help manage it. Ou Zhiyuan replied cautiously: "Uncle Shi wants to find a time to take a look, or if you want to change it to something else, but you need to hand over the output of the same value to the pie." The disciple suggested that you do not go to the tea garden, and if necessary, you can find another place to cultivate and plant. ”

Lu Yanning thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"The disciples also have some brothers who are familiar with each other in the outer gate, if the uncle is in need, the disciple can find them and help the uncle to reclaim a field and plant some spiritual rice and the like. Ou Zhiyuan said.

"Oh, then what do I need to give?" Lu Yanning was really curious.

Ou Zhiyuan saw that Lu Yanning really didn't understand, so he explained: "There are many places on this peak that are empty, but our outer disciples can't use it, and the effect of planting under the mountain is much worse. But if Uncle Shi recruits, we can go up the mountain to cultivate and plant, and the output will go to Uncle Shi, but if we can keep some of it for these disciples, and then give guidance on cultivation if we have time. ”

Lu Yanning really didn't know that there was such a rule, and asked curiously: "Is the disciple's labor equivalent to making offerings, or paying tuition?"

Ou Zhiyuan smiled: "Yes, Uncle Shi can probably understand it like this." ”

"But I see that many places on the mountain are empty, and there is obviously a spiritual spring passing by. Lu Yanning asked, "Isn't it true that my two senior brothers haven't cultivated it?"

Ou Zhiyuan knew quite clearly, and said: "That's because they all have disciples to support, and it is estimated that they are too lazy to bother, so there are not many cultivations and plantings, and some of them are also handed over to their disciples to take care of." The land that the inner disciples can use is close to the foot of the mountain, and of course, everyone has a limit. However, as an uncle, as long as it is no more than ten acres, it is no problem. ”

"Okay, then you can arrange it and find a few people to get it. Lu Yanning said with a smile: "If you do it well, you will be rewarded! By the way, after eating in a while, I want to see how your cultivation is, I hope you are not lazy these days." ”
