Chapter 52: A Man, a Pig, a Boat

Yin Yin snorted, and Wen Yan said with relief: "Although there are many examples of courage and perseverance in the course of cultivation, for the vast majority of monks, they still have to rely on hard cultivation day after day, year after year, to polish a deeper foundation, in order to achieve a natural success, once an epiphany, break through the realm and regenerate the new life...... Therefore, in practice, we must not only draw a quick word, because it is easy to have an unstable foundation and an unstable state of mind, but we will not be able to reach the heights that can be achieved by practicing slowly and step by step.

Ishikawa tilted his head slightly, showed a peaceful smile at Yin Yin, and said in a calm tone: "I understand, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Yin Yin, do you still remember the sentence that Bai Qingbai relayed to me? ”

Yin Yin's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Know how to advance and retreat, ask your own heart?"

Ishikawa nodded, and said loudly: "That's right, know how to advance and retreat, ask your own heart......"

Yin Yin was silent, and after walking dozens of steps, he suddenly stopped, and sighed leisurely: "It's good that you understand." ”

Ishikawa stopped at the same time, looked at the crowd getting closer and closer in the distance, and said meaningfully: "Actually, sometimes it's not a good thing to think clearly, because I understand something, but I can't change anything, and this feeling of powerlessness is really a bit bad. ”

Yin Yin took a step and walked towards the oncoming group of Dragon Scale Valley cultivators, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "But no matter what, it is always better to be clear than to be in the dark. ”

Ishikawa met Yin's smile, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Under Yin Yin's slightly puzzled gaze, Ishikawa struggled to stop his smile and tried to say seriously: "I just thought of the story of a man, a pig, and a boat. ”

Yin Yin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked, "Are there only people and pigs?"

Ishikawa was also stunned, this girl's thinking jump is really quite big.

"Well, the story I just told is not a journey to the west, but a story of a man and a pig on a boat that is about to sink and will soon be drowned. ”

As Ishikawa spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a gray-black shadow flashing in the bamboo forest in the distance, and he couldn't help but pause.

In the more than two years in the Dragon Scale Valley, this damn earth dog has become more and more elusive, and he doesn't know where to run all day long, and even he, the master, has not seen it a few times, and it is a miracle that he has not been caught by the monks of the Kunwu Sect for such a long time.

Yin Yin didn't notice the existence of the earth dog at all, she walked towards Mo Wen and Wu Yue, who had already come closer, and finally turned to Ishikawa and said, "You owe me a story, I'll come back to you later." ”

"Well, it won't be long before it's time for the sect's registered disciple Dabi, I guess I'll come over then, and I'll talk about it in detail at that time. ”

Yin Yin took two steps forward, turned around again, gently threw over a jade slip and a spirit talisman, and said solemnly: "This is a set of qi training methods that I obtained when I practiced outside the mountain gate a year ago, and now it is of little use to me, but you can compare it with the sect's "Qi Extraction and Return to the Yuan Decision" to observe and understand, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and it will still be of some use after all." ”

"This spirit rune is a communication talisman, if you have a particularly urgent matter and want to find me, you can use this talisman to call me, preferably at night, at that time I am basically alone in the sword forest small building. ”

Ishikawa caught the jade slip and the spirit talisman and smiled, "Okay." ”

Yin Yin was accompanied by the people of Dragon Scale Valley like the moon, Ishikawa stood still and did not move, and continued to look for traces of the earth dog, but was disappointed to find nothing.

If you want to talk about closeness from the heart, you still have to count the hometown people and the hometown dogs...... Ishikawa sighed, with a little loss in his heart, avoided the route Yin Yin had just taken, and prepared to go directly to the entrance of the square to gather.

Passing through a small bamboo forest, Ishikawa walked downstream along a crystal clear stream, and before he had gone far, he saw a tall and distinguished man standing quietly by the stream.

The man was wearing a light blue robe, except for the hosta on his head and a jade pendant on his waist, there were no other decorations on his body, but although his clothes looked extremely simple, he had a dusty and elegant temperament, which made people feel ashamed when they saw it.

Ishikawa stopped, he looked at the young man closely, making sure he had never seen him in the valley before.

Just as Ishikawa was a little hesitant to say hello, the man slowly turned around, faced Ishikawa with a gentle smile and said, "Are you a registered disciple who is going to participate in the welcome ceremony, it seems that it is a bit far to walk this way." ”

Since others greeted him first, Ishikawa didn't have a reason not to answer, not to mention that this person had a detached temperament at a glance, even Lin Sha, who had the highest cultivation and the most sharp edge among the registered disciples, had less of a sense of restraint and precipitation than him, maybe he was still a personal disciple of one of the first of the six peaks of Kunwu, and he must not lose his courtesy.

Ishikawa bowed and said, "Back to my predecessors, I am Ishikawa, a registered disciple of the valley, and I traveled far from here because I like the tranquility of the streams and bamboo forests, which can give me a sense of rest and relaxation." ”

The young man's eyes were as bright as stars, and after taking a deep look at Ishikawa, he smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Ishikawa, I have heard Senior Uncle Yunyue mention you, and according to Elder Mo Wen, you have a deep attainment in talismans and formations, and you are a rare talent." ”

Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down again and said: "Ishikawa's cultivation is low, and he can't be praised by his predecessors like this." ”

The young man laughed a few times, and played with the jade pendant on his waist and said: "The ruler is short, the inch is long, although your progress in the cultivation of qi induction and passage is a little slow now, but your achievements in other aspects are still commendable, and you don't need to be humble at this point...... Moreover, there are thousands of ways to practice the Tao, and different paths lead to the same end, and if you achieve the ultimate in a certain aspect, you will inevitably not be able to touch the bypass and go hand in hand. ”

Ishikawa's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, and while guessing what the identity of the other party was, he showed a shy smile and said, "The younger generation is just interested, and they have invested a little more energy in these aspects." ”

The man shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to continue on this topic, but when he spoke again, he talked about other things: "Ishikawa, have you ever thought about how to go in the future?"

Ishikawa said: "I haven't thought about this, I've only just started to become a registered disciple for two years, and I haven't thought about things that are too far away. ”

The man suddenly reached out, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the originally gentle surface of the stream, and a small golden fish flew out of the whirlpool and fell straight into his palm.

The little fish broke away from the stream on which it depended, and slapped its tail fin violently on the man's palm, but could not get out of it and return to the water no matter what.

The man sighed lightly, threw the small fish into the water casually, and said to Ishikawa: "People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, just like these small fish in the stream, they go through their lives in a mess, all they think about every day is the word "eat and drink", even if it is a poisonous bait in front of them, they will not hesitate to swallow it, even if I fished it out just now, I will only struggle instinctively, and will not think about why it is happening...... I believe that since we are born as the spirits of all things, and we have the good fortune to perceive the way of heaven, we should firmly grasp it and strive to look up at the scenery from a higher place. ”

Ishikawa listened to the man's example of a goldfish, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh.
