The old master's school building is still on the back side of the residents' circle, maintaining the original appearance of yellow mud bricks, and the surrounding wall is still dilapidated, and three or two creepers climb on it.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Heye, Zhao Yan once again stepped into the courtyard of Shengyang Village's private school after the change of time.

The old master was seriously drying wild vegetables in the yard, and said in a gentle voice that had not changed for a long time: "You are here, look at the artemisia I got from the field, and when the time comes, it can be crushed and made into bean paste stuffed artemisia baba, have you eaten it?"

Goo, goo. Zhao Yan and Bai Bao swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Bai Bao preemptively said: "Old master and grandfather, I have eaten it! That is the taste of spring and summer, right, Brother Ayan." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but wonder: "That's right. ”

"It seems that Bai Bao is still learning culture when he arrives in the mountains", the old master held Bai Bao in his hand, fiddled with Bai Bao's tentacles, and said with a kind smile: "Earlier, when you left Shengyang Village, I counted it, and you will come back." ”

Zhao Yan believes this: "The old master is erudite. ”

The old master waved his hand: "I originally calculated that you would not be able to touch the threshold of Danxin until ten years later, but now it seems that I guessed right and wrong, your qualifications are indeed extraordinary." ”

Zhao Yan said humbly: "Because of fate, I happened to get a body of cultivation, and the old master is too elevated." ”

The old master looked thoughtful and nodded, "Karma will meet...... By coincidence...... , these two words are used well, heroes in the world are often heroes, heroes come and go, all because of fate, just by chance. ”

"No one is born in response to the destiny of heaven, people say that the heroes of the world are created by the times, there is no sacrifice and struggle due to fate, and no matter how capable he is, he will have a handful of wasteland in the corner", the old master said with a smile.

Zhao Yan heard that there was something in the old master's words, but he couldn't parse it, but he just guessed that he recalled something.

Seeing that he didn't mean to speak again, he said, "Why are the two brothers of the Zhang family gone? ”

The old master came back to his senses, pinched his beard, and said: "The two little babies have gone back to their home in Huaizhou, and the original garrison has also been transferred to other places, as for the old cow...... It's not that you fooled me, and now you should have reached the westernmost Jade Mountain realm. ”

Zhao Yan rolled up the blade and stroked the dog's tail, and said in surprise: "Lao Niu, he really went on a trip around the world......?" It's really just a matter of walking. ”

The old master said with a smile: "That's the way of its enlightenment, and it will be done when it gets through, and when you are young, you are trapped in a small village all day long to be a ploughing cow, that is not done by immortal cultivators, like we are old and tired before shrinking in the countryside." ”

"How can there be, the old master is not old, the old man is not old, he can also go out and break through, maybe he can find a confidant", Zhao Yan patted a sycophant and joked again.

"You little demon", the old master laughed: "Hongyan...... It's been a long time, thinking that back then, the old man also killed people for the anger of the Qinglou Oiran, and now I think about it, I only hate the youth at that time, and I don't understand the true love of beauties. ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, he felt that there was gossip in it, and said: "Hey, what should I do, Qinglou Oiran, just grab it back." ”

The old master glared at Zhao Yan, and said with a smile: "Since you were young, like me, you think that in addition to strength and power in heaven and earth, you can take everything under the two, but you don't know how to love this thing, don't you ...... It should be said that feelings are not linked to both. ”

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the old master also had low self-esteem when he was young, and he missed a good opportunity in vain. ”

He has a little difference in thinking from the old master, he understands that what he gets from strength and power is not called affection but vassalization, but he himself has not experienced love, so he doesn't know much about it.

The old master reacted: "You are cheating on my words, you are not honest." ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "If you really see something you like, you go and grab it, isn't that a madman." ”

The old master smiled: "You still have less things to rob?" Although I am in a small village, Zhao Yan's famous name can also be heard. ”

Zhao Yan was embarrassed, hurriedly shifted the topic to business, and said, "Old master, Zhao Yan is here to ask for help from Shengyang Village this time. ”

"The threshold of Danxin is not high, and it is not low to say that it is low", the old master glanced at Zhao Yan and said, "What do you think, what is Danxin?"

Zhao Yan knew that the old master was starting to mention something, thought about it, and said, "Danxin is immortality. ”

The old master shook his head: "This immortality is not a true immortality, it is not the original. ”

Zhao Yan thought for a while, but didn't come up with an answer, so he had to say: "Zhao Yan is stupid and can't think of an explanation. ”

The old master gently put Bai Bao into the disc of drying vegetables, and said: "If you pass this level, you will get the pass for the next few levels, and if you can't go through, the path of cultivating immortals will be blocked, so I call it a fixed number, and it is a fixed number that the variable of immortal cultivators will face." ”

Of course, this definite number is also uncertain, and there are many possibilities, but compared to the variables, it is finally somewhat certain. ”

Zhao Yan listened carefully and nodded from time to time. On the other hand, Bai Bao was messing around in the disc, hiding his body under the artemisia to avoid the sun, and fell asleep.

The old master continued: "Since it is a fixed number, it is related to the longevity limit, you can tell me, what does the longevity represent?"

"Time?", Zhao Yan already understood in his heart, but he remained respectful and asked in an uncertain tone.

The old master nodded and said, "You can go and find an opportunity to break through." ”

After speaking, he pushed the artemisia away, dug out the white treasure inside, took it into his hand, and turned to enter the room.

Zhao Yan stayed in place for a while, and said with a smile: "Hey...... There is a lot of fuss, and it is still hard work to break through. ”

Thinking back to the previous experiments, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. However, this self-deprecation is not a regret of taking a detour, but with a sudden realization, everything can only be summarized if it has been tested and done in the past.

Think about it, if you had been successful in your penance cultivation from the beginning, then how could you know that the threshold of Dan Xin is different now? Then you can only get the fruit of breaking through the calamity, but you don't know the cause of breaking through the calamity.

Speaking of time, Zhao Yan thought of the sundial on the threshing floor, so he turned around and walked out of the private school and went to the threshing floor.

At this time, the threshing floor had been leveled, and more than a dozen people were sweeping the ground in preparation for the harvest in the near future.

Zhao Yan said hello to everyone and walked around the sundial, the dial on the ground was slightly old, and there were many scratches, but the main body of the sundial was well preserved, except for the wind and rain marks, it was not damaged.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic reply, his heart was also warm, and he suddenly remembered that the villagers he was once familiar with were gradually getting old, and he couldn't help but feel that time has changed everything.

"If this can be done, I will release the aura used in the tribulation and transform the entire Shengyang Village," Zhao Yan muttered before he fell asleep.

Then he bent his roots and jumped up, gently landed on the top dial of the sundial, glanced at the hour hand, then ignored the others, sat down in the middle of the dial, closed the five senses and began to practice.

The surrounding residents were very curious about Zhao Yan's movements, but they didn't dare to step forward to spy on the situation at will due to legends and demon deterrence.
