The autumn wind blew two or three residual leaves, and on this three-zhang wide street, there was a flurry of dances, wantonly falling on the shoulders of pedestrians, and then quietly sliding.

Even if the sun rises soon, the bustle of Maple City has gradually risen, and the peddlers, shopkeepers, and wealthy dignitaries have emerged one by one, stringing up the vitality of the whole street.

Even the beggar came out of the bowl at this time, and the first thing Lin Chai caught his eye was a beggar not far away.

The beggar was dressed in cloth, with a few holes that had not yet been patched, and he stared at a vendor selling a hat next to him, who was also clothed, but his shirt was neat and there were no holes.

And the vendor who was setting up a stall glanced at the second floor of the drunken flower building opposite, intentionally or unintentionally, and in front of the railing of the second floor was a gentleman who was richly dressed and proudly holding a folding fan.

Looking at the gentleman in front of the restaurant railing, his eyes were different again, he looked at the sky, and a group of wild cranes were flying over the sky, crossing the blue sky, leaving a white line, like a poem.

What made Lin Chai pause, standing still and wandering, was this picture, a corner of the world, where he couldn't see any clues, and he couldn't see any abnormal sentient beings.

But Lin Chai looked a little stupid, was it because he had never stopped in his previous life and carefully observed the appearance of all beings? Was it because he went out for the first time in this life and was at a loss to see a stranger?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

But most importantly, the image in front of him reminded Lin of a past story, the man who adopted him, told him a story when he was a child, a story about goshawks and ants.

The ant has no vision, but if it climbs up a tree, it can see a goshawk, and if it only climbs into the ground, it can only see dung beetles.

In this way, the ants that stayed on the top of the branches gradually changed, they also learned to fly, and those ants who were with dung beetles eventually became dung beetles, and they did not know what the blue sky was.

I don't know how many years this process has passed, maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, but most importantly, the original choice.

Lin Chai didn't understand this story very well when he was a child, and he understood it a little after seeing all kinds of people when he was a teenager, until the end, when he fell down the cliff with the Heavenly Soul Jade, at that time, he was completely enlightened.

The beggar looked at the vendors, and also wanted to have at least a decent livelihood, no longer full of patches and sleeping in the open. And the hawker looked at the dignitary, and also thought about when he could stay in the flower building at night, wake up and watch the scenery, free and easy, no longer tired of running, and work at sunrise.

And the dignitary, although he was rich and powerful in the world, and he was reckless, he was still not satisfied, so he looked at the sky and looked at the flock of wild egrets.

Everything in the world, especially people, has something worth pursuing for a lifetime, perhaps fame and fortune, maybe love, or simply a certain artifact.

And the purpose of that man telling Lin Chai that story was to tell him this, and to name him - Chase!

What to chase, Lin Chai is very clear, at least in the last life, he knows very well what he wants to chase.

Because his eyes were the same as those in front of him, looking at somewhere, someone, from time to time. At first, it was a few teenagers of the same generation, then it was the teacher in the Star Palace, and then it was those strong people who had already become famous, until finally it became the Heavenly Soul Jade...

This sight touched the truest longing in his heart, like an ant who suddenly saw the sky and the eagle, and could no longer take his eyes off.

"Huh" Lin Chai pouted slightly.

But on the road of pursuit, what people are most afraid of is always the same thing, and what they are most afraid of is that in the end, the bamboo basket is empty.

"Brother, what are you thinking, why don't you leave?" a smart and crisp familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Lin Chai turned his head in astonishment, and found that it was his sister Shen Die who followed, but he didn't notice it all the way.

"Why did you come along, didn't you sleep well and go back to your room to catch up on sleep?" Lin Chai asked with some annoyance.

"I just want to see you, sneak out, what are you doing. Shen Die faced his brother who was suddenly a little fierce, and pouted.

Lin Chai rolled his eyes slightly in his heart and said, "Okay, you hurry home and don't come with you." ”

"No, I'm going to follow my brother to see what you're doing. Shen Die continued to ghost the spirit, very stubborn.

Lin Chai pretended to be stern again, and shouted to stop, but he didn't expect Shen Die to make a pitiful look of crying without tears, and in the end he really couldn't help her, thinking that this trip was just to visit, even if he brought this girl, it didn't hurt.

So soon the two of them went on the road together, and Shen Die, who had received Lin Chai's helpless acquiescence, suddenly made a 180-degree turn in his expression, and smiled and grabbed his brother's arm.

After a while, the two came to the bluestone square in the center of the city, and in the center of the square were indeed placed two incense burners, and a stone step column, on which a crystal ball was placed.

That's right, this is the Star Peep Table, but it's much simpler, but as long as you have the spirit bead on the stone pillar, you can conduct the most basic investigation.

"Brother, what are you doing here, what are you putting on that stage?" Shen Die asked Lin Chai.

"Look at the people on stage. Lin replied.

On one side of the star peep platform, there was an old man, dressed in a long robe, the typical dress of a cultivator, it seemed that he should be the deacon elder of this Xuanye Sect.

From a distance, with Lin Chai's current strength, he couldn't find out the reality between him and this Xuanye Sect at all, so he planned to take the risk of coming forward to contact him.

"You stay here and don't move, I'll ask. After Lin Chai explained to Shen Die beside him, he slowly stepped forward.

As Lin Chai's footsteps approached, the old man who was closing his eyes to recuperate opened his eyes in slight surprise, this peep star platform had been set up in this city for several days, and the teenagers who had the idea of entering the cultivation path had almost already come, and continuing like this was just a seven-day routine.

From afar, the old man could see at a glance the general details of Lin Chai, his breath was not deep, and his steps were vague, but his eyes seemed to be innate and condensed and profound, what was going on, he was puzzled, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Dare to ask the senior, but is it the elder of the Xuanye Sect?" Lin rushed forward and said slightly.

The old man looked Lin Chai up and down again, and Mei Yu replied puzzledly: "That's right, I am the deacon elder of the Xuanye Sect, surnamed Bai, and my name is Chongshan." ”

"The boy wants to come and join my Xuanye Sect?"

Lin Chai shook his head, but said again: "The junior has something I want to ask, and I hope the senior will tell me." ”

"What?"

"Have you recruited a disciple named Wang Dong in your city?"

Elder Bai raised his eyebrows and replied generously, "Yes, what are you asking about this time?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just heard that Wang Dong is the same age as me, but he is extremely talented, and he is scheduled by your sect as a core disciple?"

After listening to Lin Chai's words, Elder Bai didn't think much about it, he just thought that he was hiding jealousy and disbelief, so he came to investigate. He has already seen the inferiority complex in this small city, so he opened his mouth leisurely,

"That's right, he has already entered the initial realm of Xingwu at a young age by himself, which is quite rare, and my sect naturally cherishes it. ”

Lin Chai was slightly stunned, he just wanted to find out whether the scene of Wang Dong was really as Shen Cong complained, but he didn't expect that this elder would inadvertently show the strength level of his own sect.

Probably he wouldn't have thought that the inconspicuous young man in front of him would be able to figure out the strength level of his Xuanye Sect from his few words.

The level of entering the Star Martial Arts at the age of fifteen may be quite good for most sects in the world, and even for such a Xuanye Sect, it is already unattainable, but in the competitive environment that Lin Chai was in in his previous life, it is not enough.

You must know that Lin Chai in his previous life had already entered the Star Martial Realm at the age of ten, five years earlier than Wang Dong, but compared with his peers in the palace at that time, he was mediocre.

Therefore, judging from the level of recruitment of this core disciple, Lin Chai could almost deduce the true level of this Xuanye Sect.

But even if he is so weak, this Xuanye Sect, who would not even glance at Lin Chai in his previous life, is also an unshakable existence like a tree in the sky for him now.

Lin Chai was self-aware, and did not show any contempt, and the goal had been achieved, so he respectfully bowed and retired.

He had just turned around and walked two steps, when the voice of Elder Bai suddenly came from behind him.

"Boy, stay here. ”
