It only takes a moment for the glow from the far east to pierce the darkness.

The morning dew soaks the grass and trees, and the sunlight bathes them with a jade-like color, like a naturally mottled amber. The refreshing mountain breeze mixed with the cold air permeated the forest, blowing away the veil-like mist.

The three of them all woke up, and the bonfire around them had already burned out, but in fact, Ning Caichen was the only one who slept peacefully last night. Qiao Chen'an and Yan Chixia are both cultivators, and their bodies have sufficient vitality, even if they don't rest for a few days and nights, it's not a big deal, not to mention that Qiao Chen'an finally met a monk who has achieved cultivation, so naturally he took this opportunity to discuss a lot of cultivation problems.

In the past, the confusion that arose in the practice, with Yan Chixia's answers one by one, suddenly became enlightened, and there was a sense of seeing the sun through the clouds.

The road of seeking the Tao is long and long, as if climbing a hanging wall in the fog, flying across a thousand feet of rapids, and there is a danger of breaking bones if you are not careful.

If you rely on your own strength to practice and grope for the way forward, it is tantamount to a blind man touching an elephant, even if you are cautious everywhere, you will inevitably go on a fork in the road, at least the foundation of the road will be damaged, delay the opportunity of the road, and at worst, you will go mad and risk your life. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it.

If there is a personal guidance from the elders of the sect and the key points of the teachings, then the cultivators will definitely avoid many detours, work steadily, step by step, and see the road directly. This is also the reason why under the same cultivation years, the cultivation of the children of the sect is much higher than that of the scattered cultivation.

Although Qiao Chen'an had the opportunity to teach the Taoist superior method "Taiyi Jinhua Dafa" to the mysterious old man, he was much higher than other cultivators at the starting point, but he suffered from no guidance, and he had always relied on his own cultivation to explore his cultivation, for fear that something would go wrong when cultivating. In such a situation, the speed of cultivation will naturally be affected.

Although Yan Chixia's cultivation method is different from his, all the methods in the world come from the same source, and in the end, they all point directly to the Great Dao, and there are still many things worth learning from.

The sky is getting brighter, the daylight is revealing a warmth, Qiao Chenan and Ning Caichen are naturally going to Jinhua County, while Yan Chixia is used to being at ease, he has stayed in Lanruo Temple for a long time before, but it is only because of the loss of ambition in his heart, and now that his fighting spirit is rekindled, it is naturally impossible to stay in one place.

Soon it was time to separate, Qiao Chen'an glanced at the increasingly hot and fiery morning sun in the distance, and finally his eyes fell on the tall man in front of him, and bowed his hand and said: "There is no banquet in the world, Brother Yan, I wish you a smooth journey, express your ambitions, and eliminate the injustices in the world!"

Yan Chixia stood with a sword, although he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but he could not hide the heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and laughed loudly when he heard this: "Brother Qiao, I am waiting for you in Shushan, farewell!"

With a crisp sword roar, the Demon Breaking Sword rushed into the sky, Yan Chixia jumped onto the sword, her body soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a black spot in the sky.

Qiao Chenan stood on the rock, watching Yan Chixia go away, and suddenly a sense of pride and ambition rose out of thin air in his heart, will one day he be able to be like the latter, fighting with a sword and holding wine, and wandering the world?

Maybe this kind of life is not for him, but if he doesn't try, how can he know?

Pressing the thought in his heart, he turned his head to look at Ning Caichen beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Caichen, let's go!"

......

A day later, the sun set, the two finally came to a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, Ning Caichen's footsteps were a little anxious, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, his expression was a little more missing, pushed open the door of the courtyard made of firewood, and shouted: "Mother, I'm back!"

Qiao Chen sighed lightly in peace of mind, the mood of the wanderer when he returned home, that is, the feeling of happiness and apprehension, it is difficult for outsiders to understand, maybe only he as a party can understand!

With a squeak, the door was opened from the inside, and an old woman with a wrinkled face and silver hair walked out of the room.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was his child, he couldn't help but say so.

Ning Caichen hurriedly greeted him and said, "It's me, mother, it's Caichen who is back!"

Qiao Chenan stood on the side, seeing such a scene of mother and son meeting, he also felt a little nostalgic in his heart, perhaps family affection is the most difficult emotion in the world!

I can't help but think of my parents who are far away in Qiantang, since I entered Chongwen Academy, I haven't been home for two months, I don't know how my parents are doing now, and whether they are healthy?

I don't know if my father's back pain has improved, and my mother is still doing needlework for the rich family? Those originally beautiful palms must have been a lot rougher!

The years have bent their backs, but they have lifted themselves up.

Qiao Chen'an felt heavy in his heart, as if a big stone was blocked in his chest, he felt that it was difficult to breathe, his face was a little pale, he inexplicably felt that something was missing, and made up his mind, this time, he must go home.

Ning Caichen's old mother looked at Qiao Chen'an and said, "Who is this?"

Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "Mother, this is my friend in the academy, and he came back with me this time. ”

When Mother Ning heard this, she thanked Qiao Chen'an again and again, asked about some family routines, and said that the two of them should get along well in the academy and take care of each other.

As soon as Ning Caichen entered the house, his face showed a worried look, he confessed to him, and went to the inner room to accompany his seriously ill wife.

Qiao Chen'an sat outside, talking with Ning's mother, and after a while, he saw Ning Caichen carefully helping a beautiful woman out, the woman was dressed in white, her body was thin, and she was wearing very light makeup.

Ning's wife came to him, Ying Ying gave a salute, and said: "Thank you Gongzi for taking care of you all the way, if Caichen has anything to offend in the future, I still hope that Gongzi Haihan! Caichen has a straight temperament, he doesn't have many friends outside, and he will have to rely on Gongzi's help in the future!"

Qiao Chen'an hurriedly got up, made a gesture, and said respectfully: "I've seen my sister-in-law! I hit it off with Brother Caichen, but he took care of me more in the academy." ”

Although the woman in front of her is soft, there is an upright air between her eyebrows and eyes, which is not as soft as an ordinary woman, but has a man's heroic spirit, which is admirable.

It's just that how could such a woman be infected with a vicious disease and be sick in bed all the year round, the letter brought by Ning Caichen's fellow villagers, Qiao Chenan had also read it, and roughly knew that Ning's wife was probably in good health.

I couldn't help but secretly say that I was making a fool of people, and suddenly remembered something, looked at Ning Caichen on the side, and said, "Brother Ning, forgive me for being rude, I want to know when my sister-in-law's illness happened?"
