Chapter 8: Why Do You Cultivate?

Du Feng looked at these flowers and plants very peculiar, most of them were something he had never heard of, and the medicine garden was also quite large, Du Feng followed Qiu Ming to finish, and the sun was hanging high. Qiu Ming just walked to the bamboo bridge and turned back, and Du Feng could see that Qiu Ming had not entered the depths of the medicine garden. Out of the medicine garden, Qiu Ming went directly into the cave. Du Feng also wanted to follow up, but was thrown away by the strange old man's sleeve. Du Feng got up from the ground, complained a few words in his heart, and sat outside.

In this way, nearly two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and every morning Du Feng will follow Qiu Ming to the medicine garden for a circle, only for a few days or two Qiu Ming does not allow Du Feng to follow, and Du Feng can also guess that the old man should have gone to the depths of the medicine garden. In the afternoon, Du Feng walked around, looking for something to eat, and did not dare to go far. The old man would occasionally come out at night, and Du Feng would take the initiative to talk to him, but this old man was very strange, he ignored him, always looked at the night sky without stars, and stood all night.

In fact, this is nothing, Du Feng is used to the old man's arrogance. What puzzled him the most was that during this period of time, Du Fengza also fought, and he was also diligent in following behind, but he still refused to accept apprentices, so he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

Having said that, in the past three months, Du Feng was also very serious, and he remembered the names of the medicines in the medicine garden, the properties of the medicines, and the way of taking care of them. In his opinion, these herbs are also strange, most of them, he has never heard of in the mortal world, and a few of them he has heard of, in the mortal world is indeed not called medicine at all, here by the old man regarded as a treasure, even when Du Feng usually watered, he told him not to touch it as much as possible.

Rolling clouds obscured the sun and obscured the sky. Sunlight seeps through the cracks in the clouds, and if you look closely, you can see a lot of beams. An old man bent down to water the flowers, and there was a young man standing behind him, looking at the back full of a look of respect for the sage and the son, but Du Feng knew in his heart that this was impossible, the old man had always refused to admit himself, and every time he thought of this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart. I really feel that I have been fooled, I am a dignified young master, I originally came to reach out for food to open my mouth, and my small life was beautiful, but I somehow came to be a coolie and a scholar who did not give food and did not include accommodation.

"Do you really want to worship me as a teacher?" Qiu Ming said slowly, this is the past two months he took the initiative to speak to Du Feng, Du Feng was ecstatic, nodded hurriedly, thinking that this old man finally mentioned this matter, no matter what questions he asked, he would agree first. Although there is no such thing as Ji Zhu, who is a scholar who speaks with the Tao, with his own performance and ability to fool people during this period of time, as long as the old man mentions it, he will have a score.

"It's actually very simple, you just have to answer me one question. Qiu Ming squinted and looked at Du Feng. "Don't say one, eleven thousand, as many as you want. Du Feng patted his chest and said. Qiu Ming put down the kettle in his hand and chuckled: "Why are you cultivating?"

"I'm ,,, I'm ,,," Du Feng never expected to ask himself this, this question Du Feng really couldn't answer, Qiu Ming seemed to be able to see through himself, he knew that he didn't need to make up random things on this question, compared to the experience, this would only subtract points for himself. To be honest, he didn't know why he wanted to cultivate, at first he didn't think about cultivating at all, and then he was forced to come here helplessly, it should be for the sake of face, and he hoped that he could surpass others, and after he came, it was just to live and seek support. However, Du Feng still told the truth, asking the fundamentals, the most important issues in a person's heart, often the people who are asked can't do a perfect lie, no matter how much they cover it up, they will reveal fatal flaws.

Qiu Ming saw that he was not angry or disappointed, and took out a set of clothes and a token, "This is my disciple's token and clothes, and then come to me to get the answer, if you want to leave, I can say that you are not talented enough, and arrange for someone to send you away." In fact, I haven't been here for a long time, and it's not bad to have you to relieve my boredom, think clearly and answer me. Although you and that little fat man have mediocre qualifications, they are both extraordinary. It can be said that it is because of this that you have the opportunity to become inner disciples. He turned around and walked towards the cave.

"Inner Gate, extraordinary?" Du Feng's face was full of doubts, since he entered the mountain gate, no one had mentioned the specific things of the sect to him. No one had ever given him a detailed account of the sect's structure. This was supposed to be the first lesson that the master taught his disciples after apprenticeship, but he was still not a real disciple of the Sword Sect. Du Feng's head was empty, he didn't know anything about this place, and he didn't know how to go in the future and where he was going. I don't know if I should continue to cultivate the Tao, and what the purpose of the cultivation is this.

Inside the cave, Qiu Ming stood with his back hands and looked out of the cave for a long time. "Lin'er, he is like you, although his qualifications are average, his mind is not low, he is still very confused, like a fog, he can't see the road ahead, he can't see the road under his feet. ”

Four hundred years ago, one night, there was moonlight, but it was very dim. A teenager knelt outside the cave door, "I don't accept it, I don't want to be trampled under the feet of others all the time, I want to become stronger! Qiu Ming's thoughts also returned to that night, he was the only apprentice in his life, and he was originally the disciple he was most proud of, but it was a pity,,,,,,,,,。

The whole of the Sword Gate said that this disciple of his was too paranoid to tolerate him, and it was rumored that after breaking away from the Sword Gate, he became a demon cultivator. Every time I heard people talk about it, Qiu Ming laughed at that person for being stupid, unable to see through the world, and unable to understand this avenue. Over the years, this matter has been gradually forgotten by people, only Qiu Ming stood quietly beside the boulder in front of the cave when the moon was covered by clouds and the moonlight sprinkled a little, thinking.

All night, the two did not sleep.

Early the next morning, Du Feng packed everything very early and waited for Qiu Ming to appear outside the cave. Qiu Ming walked out of the cave as usual, and glanced at Du Feng, who was bowing, Du Feng also stood up straight at this time, both of them wanted to speak, but neither of them spoke.

When I came back from visiting the medicine garden, I found An Yao waiting in front. It turned out that An Yao had broken through more than two months of cultivation and reached the realm of the fifth layer of Qi Condensation. This time, I also specially thanked Master Qiu Ming. Seeing the two "master and apprentice" coming back, An Yao excitedly ran over to greet the two, and when she heard An Yao say that she had broken through, Qiu Ming smiled knowingly.

Du Feng sat on the stone and looked at the mountain in the distance. At this moment, he was not in the mood to listen to their "grandfather and grandson" talking and greetings, and roughly heard An Yao pestering Qiu Ming to take her out to play or something, as if it was a place in Jingzhou, probably a mortal city. Du Feng shook his head and was about to sigh. An Yao ran over, "Senior uncle, let's also take the little junior brother with you." Let him also see the world, mainly because he wants to accompany you to rest your heart. That's right, Du Feng. ”

"This ,,,,,,,,,," Du Feng didn't know what to answer for a while, Qiu Ming coughed dryly, "He still has a task in the past two days, and I have to watch him and point out on the side." Let's put the matter of going out on hold for now. After a while, I will go on a trip, and I can talk to your master and take you out for "training". ”

An Yao bit her lip, "Okay, junior brother, you seem to be very worried, go, senior sister will take you to breathe." An Yao pulled Du Feng and was about to leave. Du Feng looked surprised and looked at Qiu Ming, although he was distressed in his heart, he really needed to solve it, some things, changing the scenery, maybe he could suddenly understand. But after all, without the old man's consent, it seems very embarrassing to leave with the senior sister like this, and it is more disrespectful.

But Qiu Ming just sighed lightly, and then turned around and entered the cave. "What? This is the default? This girl can't be the old man's illegitimate daughter, hey!" Du Feng couldn't help muttering in his heart,
