Speaking of Lingxi Valley, Miao Qiuyu was very worried about the safety of her two children. After all, the two of them are the first time to go to the rivers and lakes, and they have no experience. The worry in her heart can be imagined, so she came to Shangxuju and said to Lixian: "Senior brother, I've always been worried these days, where do you say the two children are now? Will they take care of themselves? Will there be danger?"

"When the child is older, he wants to explore the rivers and lakes by himself, and parents must be willing to give up. You can't stay in your comfort zone for the rest of your life, can you?" said Rixian.

"That being said, there has to be a process for everything, and my mother is worried. Neither of the children had ever traveled far from home. Although Dan'er has been to Youzhou once, you also took her there. Not to mention Ming'er, the farthest place I've been to is Qingfeng Mountain. This is suddenly far away from us, wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, I always feel unsteady in my heart, I think you should follow the past to have a look, to see how they are doing outside. You don't have to let them know, just quietly take a look, and if they encounter any danger, you can help them, don't you say?" Miao Qiuyu said.

"Alright then, I'll let you go. If they can handle it, I'll come back, and if they need help, I'll stay with them, but you'll be left alone in this Spirit Rhino Valley," Lixian said.

"One person is one person, isn't it all one person all these years?" Miao Qiuyu said.

"I don't want to leave you alone anymore," Rikhyun said.

"I'm old, what are you talking about? Let's go," Miao Qiuyu said a little shyly.

So Li Xian hurriedly took the sword and the burden and said, "Seeing that you have been restless for the past few days, I have long been ready to go and see them"

"Then go quickly, don't delay," Miao Qiuyu said.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself" With that, Rixian turned around and went to the stable to move a horse out of the valley and galloped away.

The next morning, it was just dawn. In the side hall of the Great Cloud Temple, Jiang Suyue slowly woke up from the table and knocked her head groggily. looked at Yi Dan, who was still asleep next to him, and believed that what happened yesterday was true.

Yi Dan also woke up in a daze, and after seeing Jiang Suyue, he asked, "Miss Suyue... Oh no, Sister Suyue, what time is it?"

"Sister Dan'er, you're awake too. Looking at this day, it should be the hour," Jiang Suyue said.

"Oh no, why have I slept for so long? Where is the meditation hall? I still have to go and visit Chang Senior," Yi Dan said.

"It's okay, it's so early, my master must still be in the morning cultivation. You freshen up first, and I'll take you there. ”

After a while, Jiang Suyue led Yi Dan and the others to the meditation hall together. I saw Chang Peiyao sitting alone in the meditation hall for morning repair, she was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, breathing evenly and looking peaceful, like a big bell, upright and steady.

Yi Dan saw that Chang Peiyao was so calm, and he immediately admired it. She stood quietly to the side, silent, for fear of disturbing her retreat.

"You're all here," Chang Peiyao asked with her eyes slightly closed.

"Yes, Master, we've been here for a while," Jiang Suyue said.

"The juniors have disturbed the retreat of the seniors," Yi Dan said respectfully.

"Poor Dao listens to the girl, breathing evenly and calming her heart. But there is a slight sadness and obsession in the calmness, am I right?" Chang Peiyao closed her eyes and asked quietly.

"Chang seniors are really wonderful, and there is indeed an obsession in my heart that I can't let go. This obsession is also the reason why I came to disturb the senior Qing Xiu this time," Yi Dan said.

Chang Peiyao opened her eyes slightly, turned her head to look at Yi Dan's eyes, and said, "I look at your eyebrows and figure, and you are also a person who has practiced Taoist martial arts, let me ask you what our cultivators cultivate?"

"Cultivation is self-cultivation and mind," Yi Dan replied.

"Not bad. How many people in this world have only cultivated their flesh and skin bodies, but they have forgotten to cultivate their wisdom and mind," Chang Peiyao said.

"Chang's predecessors taught that he really didn't cultivate a wise heart in the next," Yi Dan received.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about a simple truth. Self-cultivation is only for the sake of physical health, but mental cultivation is for distinguishing between good and evil and right and wrong. If the body is healthy and wise, it will be regarded as a great road. The path that some people understand is to be blissful and alone, while the path that some people understand is to help others practice and enjoy happiness. I ask you, how much is the difference between the two?"

"The difference between the two is that the former only cares about himself, and the latter takes care of the common people," Yi Dan said.

"That's right. The reason why there is so much killing and injustice in the world is because most people in this world are only concerned about themselves. They kill for their own vengeance, lust, wealth, or power. And by killing, it is true that all this can be obtained for a short time, so the world rushes to it."

"Senior Chang, the purpose of this trip is to ask Senior Chang to help him and overthrow the tyrannical beam. Not only for their own hatred, but also for the sake of returning a peaceful world to the people of the world," Yi Dan said with a heartfelt voice.

"I understand your intentions, and I haven't finished my words, so listen to them. If it is reasonable, you can admit it, and if it is unreasonable, you can refute it," Chang Peiyao said.

"That's good, then listen to the teachings of Chang's predecessors," Yi Dan said respectfully.

"I fully believe what you just said. It's rare that you are in this troubled world, but you still have a pure heart, I am very moved. But let me ask you, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Xia Wei Shang Dynasty, from the Wenwu Zhou Gong to the Five Tyrants and Seven Heroes, from the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. From the glorious Tang Dynasty to the devastated broken rivers and mountains, do you know why all this is?" Chang Peiyao asked.

"Like, as if it's all a vicious circle over and over again," Yi Dan said suspiciously.

"That's right, it's a vicious circle. Many people in the world fight the country so that their children and grandchildren can sit on the world and enjoy glory and wealth forever. I have long forgotten the promise and belief I had made. It's like you have a pure heart today, but you can't guarantee that you will have it tomorrow. Even if you will always have a pure heart in your life, you dare not guarantee that your children and grandchildren will still have it. People's hearts are selfish and greedy, how to solve this problem? I have been meditating on this Dayun Mountain for more than 30 years, but I still have not found the answer. That's why I was alone and stole leisure, but I never dared to say that I really understood the world and people's hearts. Hey..."Chang Peiyao said earnestly.

"So what Chang Senpai means: If you can't find the answer, you will live this secluded life in this Dayun Mountain forever, right?" Yi Dan asked.

"No, since it is difficult to find answers to many questions in this world, let future generations find them slowly. But we must at least create a time and space for future generations to slowly find answers, which is the meaning and value of our generation," Chang Peiyao said.

"Thank you seniors for your success! A few times, it really made the mouth stopper open. I also deeply perceive that it is easy to cultivate oneself, but it is difficult to cultivate one's mind, it is easy to start a business, and it is difficult to keep one. This vicious circle repeats itself, and I hope that one day, someone will find the ultimate solution to the problem. At present, I can't crack the mystery, I can only hover among the living beings for the time being," Yi Dan said.

"Girl, you have a wise heart, and if you temper it, you will be able to take on a great responsibility in the future. I hope that in the future, you will be the one who will help me find the answer," Chang Peiyao said with a smile.

"Chang seniors are too high-minded, you have been looking for so long, but there is no answer, the junior is just a mortal person, how can you look for answers," Yi Dan said.

"I believe the answer is in this world, but we can't touch it for the time being. History is always repeating the past, but there are many striking similarities with the past. That's because no matter how the country changes and how the years change, people's hearts and human nature have never changed. It's not history that repeats, it's human nature that repeats. As long as you feel it with sincerity in the future, you will find the answer one day," Chang Peiyao said.

"Human nature and human heart? Although I haven't understood the meaning of this yet, thank you for your advice. I will never forget your teaching today, and I will definitely understand it with my heart in the future," Yi Dan said.

"Do what you want to do. When support is needed, I will help. Even if Poor Dao can't pull away, he must let Su Yue go to help, you can rest assured," Chang Peiyao said.

"Thank you for the success and support of your predecessors! The wisdom and guidance of your predecessors will be useful to the younger generations in this life. In the future, I will never take a detour and fall into that endless suffering," Yi Dan said.

"Yes, I believe in you. A wise man does not occupy heaven and earth, but possesses the heart. Chang Peiyao nodded.

"Thank you seniors for your trust! There is a reluctant request below, I wonder if you can talk about it?" asked a little.

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it," Chang Peiyao said.

"I still want to visit the other two factions in Dongting Lake, I don't know if the senior can give me some advice," Yi Dan asked.

"I was originally a separate family of the three factions in Dongting. In addition to my Donghu faction, there are also Chuyun factions and Jingyu factions. The head of the Chuyun faction, Weng Bu Secret, is the apprentice of my master Bo Yun Mingzi. Li Youguang, the head of the Jingyu faction, is the apprentice of Sun Yandeng, the elder of my second division. However, my two uncles have long passed away, and Senior Brother Weng is almost fifty years old, but he has a lively personality and likes to have fun, like a child, but he is very compatible with my apprentice Jiang Suyue. But my junior brother Li Youguang is more difficult to explain. He's a pretty domineering man, and he doesn't seem to be very happy with the other two factions of us. I don't know if he will agree to your request, if you want to go to him, don't expect too much, just be careful," Chang Peiyao said.

"Okay, thank you seniors for your advice, then if there is nothing else, the juniors won't bother senior Qingxiu" Yi Dan said gratefully.

"Well, let Su Yue take you there, go early and come back early," Chang Peiyao said.

"Okay, junior farewell," Yi Dan respectfully withdrew from the retreat hall.
