In the cave, it is quiet and peaceful.

Jiang Li and Yang Yang sat opposite each other, Yang Yang still retained the heart of a child, and excitedly told Jiang Li about his experience of cultivating alone over the years.

Although he had guessed it before, after Yang Yang said it himself, Jiang Li was still a little surprised by the treatment Yang Yang received from Lin Shengyan.

"Brother Lin, treat me very well. After finishing speaking, Yang Yang smiled happily. If people who are familiar with Yang Yang see this scene, they will be surprised. Since he and Lin Shengyan came to Lingzhou, the former has been addicted to cultivation and has never laughed. Even if he wins the competition, his expression does not fluctuate at all, as if it is a matter of course.

Only in front of Jiang Li did Yang Yang completely recover as a child.

"You're stressed out too much, there's time to take a break. Looking at Yang Yang's excited and dependent eyes, Jiang Xingzhong felt even more guilty. Yang Yang was nominally his apprentice, but he almost never really taught him any exercises, and most of the time Yang Yang practiced alone.

Yang Yang shook his head, "The disciple doesn't dare to rest, the disciple's cultivation is still too weak." ”

When Yang Yang said this, the determined look in his eyes made Jiang Li slightly stunned, and now he understood why he would accept such a disciple when he was amnesiac. The two of them are too similar, and in terms of temperament, Jiang Li even thinks that Yang Yang is better.

Sighing, Jiang Li said, "Xiuzhen is not for killing, you are too heavy." ”

Although the master and apprentice spend little time together, because they are the same kind of people, they communicate more easily. Yang Yang naturally knew that Jiang Li was referring to the fact that he had killed the guards of the Spirit God Temple.

"It's not for killing, then for what?" Yang Yang blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Li simply, "And the guards of the Spirit God Temple are just beasts, and the disciples didn't kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Jiang Li frowned when he heard this, "All creatures and souls are equal, how can you say that there are beasts." Only cultivators, only living beings. ”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he immediately fell into deep thought, and Yang Yang's question invisibly touched the memory he wanted to deliberately forget.

On the Black Spirit Mountain Range, Ying Minglong's whole body was full of divine energy, and he asked with a smile, "What are you cultivating for?"

"It's to protect your relatives, it's to protect, do you understand?" Jiang Li opened his eyes and looked at Yang Yang, and said lightly. In fact, he knew in his heart that this was not the answer he wanted, but in order to solve Yang Yang's thoughts, he could only say it out of context.

"Protect your relatives?" Yang Yang was a little stunned, then thought seriously for a while, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"What's the matter? If you have any thoughts, you can tell the teacher, and the teacher won't blame you. ”

Yang Yang nodded, and said seriously: "Yang Yang has no worries now, and the only relative is you, master, but you don't need my protection, master, why am I cultivating." ”

Why cultivate?

Yang Yang's childish voice was like a sharp sword, stabbing Jiang Li's distracting thoughts hiding in his heart, and his heart ached. This is a conflict between the Dao mind and the path, after the Nirvana realm is consummated, the cultivator needs to sublimate himself, build his own heaven and earth based on the soul, and he must have a clear path and a smooth path.

And Jiang Li, because of the confusion of cultivation, caused the Dao heart to be dusty, and he could no longer advance an inch in cultivation, even if he had a combat power comparable to that of a soul realm master, this was what he had always wanted to escape.

For a long time, he thought that he was cultivating the truth, just for his family and for the woman he loved, but now it seems that everything in front of him can only be regarded as half at most. And what is the reason for the lost other half?

Jiang Li silently closed his eyes, this time the communication with his apprentice turned out to be his defeat. If you are not thorough, how can you educate people?

"Master, what's wrong?Did the disciple say something wrong?" Yang Yang looked at Jiang Li with some concern.

Jiang Li opened his eyes, and Yang Yang could see exhaustion in his eyes. Mental exhaustion, sometimes much greater than the physical exertion, may be able to make a Nirvana realm cultivator's soul languished in an instant, and from then on to destruction.

"It's fine. Jiang Li stood up, turned his head to look out the door, and stepped out.

The blue sky, the puffy clouds, the endless mountains as far as the eye can see, and the fragrance of the earth comes with the cold pavement of snow. Yang Yang followed behind Jiang Li in confusion.

"This is the world, our cultivation is to surpass him, and maybe we can create him!" Jiang Li muttered, his eyes flickering. Witnessing the process of Ying Minglong's breakthrough, even if Jiang Li's cultivation did not reach that level, he still benefited a lot.

"Create the world?" Yang Yang looked at Jiang Li in shock, and a primitive desire kept emerging in his eyes.

"What is existence, what is destruction, what is nothingness?" Jiang Li muttered to himself, "If there is no creation, where is the world?"

"Could it be a world created by immortals?"

"Immortals? There are no immortals in this world, let alone fairies, and those so-called high-ranking immortals are also the same as us mortals, with desires and different entanglements. ”

"Ah, is that the legendary Soul Realm power also like this?" Yang Yang asked with some apprehension.

"There is no difference. Jiang Li said firmly.

This feeling is Jiang Li's biggest feeling after experiencing the incident in Youzhou, and it is precisely because of these feelings that Jiang Li is confused. Cultivating truth cannot be detached, so what is the purpose of cultivating truth? Is it really for killing?

No, absolutely impossible. Jiang Li thought stubbornly. But he couldn't answer Ying Minglong's question, and he couldn't answer Yang Yang's question.

"In vain. ”

"The disciple is here. ”

"Jiang Li is a murderer, I don't want my apprentice to become a demon. The fluctuation of his mood made the breath on Jiang Li's body a little unstable, and Yang Yang knelt down in awe, "Disciple don't dare! The disciple swears that he will never become a murderous person in this life, if he violates this oath, he will fall into reincarnation forever!"

"It doesn't matter. Jiang Li hurriedly put away the aura he exuded, and Yang Yang stood up panting.

"Yang Yang, you have to remember that all living beings are equal, for heaven and earth, there are no human beings, no magical beasts, only living beings. ”

Listening to Jiang Li's words, Yang Yang was silent, and Jiang Li could feel that the former's mood was not calm. After a while, Yang Yang raised his head firmly, and Jiang Li shook his head helplessly, too similar to himself.

"Then is my grandfather's revenge just like that? Master, is it a natural thing for a demonic beast to kill my grandfather?" Yang Yang plucked up his courage, and his little face turned red. Such a genius with a perfect elixir realm, like a coquettish child, shouted loudly at Jiang Li.

Hatred, sure enough, it is still hatred. Jiang centrifuged in the dark channel. The most unstoppable thing in this world is hatred and love. Yang Yang's grandfather died in the mouth of the Arc Forest Demonic Beast, and for Yang Yang, the entire Arc Forest was his mortal enemy.

"Revenge, of course, must be avenged. But you have to find the enemy. Jiang Li calmly looked at Yang Yang, who was a little excited, and said lightly.

"That'...... And who is my enemy?"

"Only you know this in your own heart. Jiang Li smiled slightly and kindly touched Yang Yang's head, "Your grandfather died because of a demonic beast, and he was just a demonic beast, and he would definitely not be the guard of the Spirit God Temple." You have to remember that even if you want revenge, your enemy will only be one. ”

"I have only one enemy?" Yang Yang repeated with some astonishment, and then slowly quieted down. Such a stable mood made Jiang Li very satisfied.

After a while, Yang Yang's eyes returned to clarity, "Master, the disciple is wrong. The disciple will definitely find his true enemy, and will definitely not indiscriminately kill innocent people to disgrace you. ”

Jiang Li looked at this boy like a little adult with satisfaction, "I forcibly suppressed your cultivation just now, do you have a knot in your heart?"

"Disciple no. It was the disciple who took the risk to get closer, and almost let the master's teachings go down the drain, and it was the disciple who was too eager for quick success. After Yang Yang finished speaking, his face was full of smiles. As he said, as long as he is in front of Jiang Li, he will have the feeling of being with his relatives, and Yang Yang is extremely attached to such a feeling.

"Master, I still have some doubts about my cultivation. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

For Yang Yang's expectant look, although Jiang Lishen was already restless at this time, it was not easy to refuse, and he agreed with a smile.

There is a cave on the high mountain in the forbidden land of the Lake Family. Outside the cave, snow-capped, above the snow, Jiang Li and Yang Yang sat cross-legged in the air, Jiang Li patiently answered, and Yang Yang's knowing laughter came from time to time.

This time, it seems that it is also Jiang Li's second formal guidance to Yang Yang, and the first time is when he accepts apprentices.

As the sun sets, there are still bursts of commentary on the high mountains, and somewhere in the 100,000 mountains, there is a delicate giant ding. Lakeside and Qingluan were guarding here, concentrating on controlling the flames.
