After arriving at Zhong's house, Zhong Dushan took the three of them to the place where the lotus flowers were in full bloom.

If it really deserves its reputation, Murong Feng has long heard that the Zhong family has protected the lotus flower impeccably.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I knew how much effort the Zhong family had put into the lotus, which also meant how important the entire lotus flower was to the Zhong family.

It is known that the lotus flower grows on the highest peak of Lingyun Mountain.

Hundreds of years ago, when the lotus flower did not have a belonging, the lotus flower grew naturally in this way, without any protection.

However, since the Zhong family's Jiang family and the Zhuang family obtained the lotus through the competition, the lotus flower was fenced, and the Zhong family built a courtyard for the lotus, and then let a special person guard it, only in this way can the lotus flower not be used by those with ill intentions.

And this yard is not a simple yard.

Although Murong Feng had heard that this courtyard was very mysterious before, only this time when he was there, did he know that in order to protect the lotus, the Zhong family could be said to have taken great pains.

Under the leadership of Zhong Dushan, Murong Feng came to the courtyard of the lotus flower for the first time.

The first is a gate.

This gate is not a simple gate, it is a hundred meters high, dense and unventilated, as if it is a wall, there is no trace of a crack in the door, if it weren't for Zhong Dushan reciting the spell, Murong Feng would never have imagined that this so-called wall could still be rotated.

In this way, even a person who is good at light work will not be able to fly over.

When Zhong Dushan finished reciting the incantation, a crack suddenly appeared on the wall, and then, the appearance of a door, little by little, appeared.

"It's so mysterious. Zhong Shen couldn't help but say.

"Yes, otherwise, how would we be able to let Lotus stay in our house safe and sound for so many years?" Zhong Jin said solemnly.

At this time, Zhong Jin glanced at Murong Feng beside him.

Since Murong Feng came, the two of them still haven't greeted each other.

Originally, Zhong Jin wanted to say something, but, looking at Murong Feng's appearance, I don't know why, Zhong Jin always felt dissatisfied, so he didn't say anything.

And Murong Feng didn't care.

The four men walked through the door and inside.

As soon as he entered, Murong Feng felt that he had really never seen the world.

I thought it was the courtyard where lotus flowers grow, but I didn't expect it to be pitch black inside.

It's a tunnel.

It turned out that in order to prevent someone from stealing the lotus, Zhong Dushan spent a lot of money to repair such a tunnel.

Murong Feng's mouth opened wide in surprise.

In fact, not only Murong Feng, but even the two sons of the Zhong family, Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, were surprised by the scene in front of them.

Although the Zhong family only had such two sons, Zhong Dushan never told them about the lotus.

That is, the two never came in.

It was pitch black in front of them, and they couldn't see each other.

At this time, the three young men ran out of ideas.

No one dared to move, as if he would be lost in this never-ending darkness if he took a quiet step.

And such a dark, notion of time and space, is completely meaningless here.

Therefore, standing still is the best choice for the three of them.

At this time, Zhong Dushan spoke.

However, instead of speaking to the three terrified young men, he said to the boundless darkness: "The ancestors of the Zhong family, the children and grandchildren of Zhong Dushan are here, taking advantage of the fact that the lotus flower is still open for a month, they have come to visit, hoping that the ancestors and ancestors can show the way for their children and grandchildren. ”

As soon as Zhong Dushan finished speaking, there was a sound of wind in the air.

The three young men were terrified, worried about what they couldn't see.

"You all follow the wind. At this time, Zhong Dushan's voice came from the darkness.

So, in such a situation where no one could see anyone, a few people just listened to the wind and moved forward cautiously little by little.

And the sound of the wind is very slight, so everyone needs to hold their breath and focus all their attention on their ears, if they are not careful, they will miss the wind, and as a result, they will never hear such a voice that means life.

Therefore, Zhong Jin, Zhong Shen, and Murong Feng, the three of them were all one hundred and twenty percent cautious and cautious in the face of such an unprecedented situation.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed to have crossed a river, and in front of the eyes of the three people, there was a light.

After staying in the dark for a long time, in the face of such a sudden light, the three of them couldn't open their eyes.

When the three of them got used to the situation in front of them, Zhong Dushan spoke.

"It's good that none of you are left behind. ”

"Father, what's going on?" Zhong Shen was puzzled.

"In order to prevent outsiders from entering the courtyard of the lotus, the ancestors of the Zhong family gave us guidance in the darkness. ”

"But, father, the wind just now was very small, and very faint, and if you are not careful, you will be lost. Zhong Jin said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I know that this is why you will be tested. Zhong Dushan said with a smile, he was very happy, his son, and the young man he had always been optimistic about, had withstood the test.

"What does this mean?" Zhong Shen didn't understand.

"What were you thinking about in the process just now?" Zhong Dushan did not tell the children the answer directly, but followed it carefully.

"Didn't think about anything. Zhong Jin replied.

"Why?"

"The wind was so faint that I didn't dare to have any thoughts in my head at that time, a kind of panic, worried that if I didn't pay attention, I wouldn't hear the wind, so I didn't dare to be distracted at all. Zhong Jin replied.

"What about the two of you?" Zhong Dushan looked at Zhong Shen and Murong Feng who were standing aside.

"Like my eldest brother, I don't dare to think about anything. Zhong Shen replied.

"Me too, very focused. Murong Feng said.

"That's the test. Zhong Dushan looked at the three young people, and then continued: "In order to hear the sound of the wind, we must have no distractions in our hearts and concentrate on it. This is also a hint to everyone that they must have a heart that can endure silence, without the slightest impetuousness, nor a little bit of anxiety, but the heart is like water, thinking about nothing, not caring about anything, just simply listening to the sound of the wind. ”

The three of them nodded thoughtfully.

"Do you remember that concentration just now?"

The three nodded.

"Very well, I want you to use this kind of concentration in the days to come, especially when copying scriptures, I hope that you can all let go of everything, do not think about anything, do not be bound by any earthly shackles, but concentrate all your energy and concentration on the pen, treat every word, every stroke, be serious and meticulous. ”

"Father, copying things, we have had this experience since childhood, in fact, when we write, we can use two minds, unlike just now in the dark, if we use two minds, we may never be able to come out, and copying scriptures does not have such pressure. Zhong Shen asked.

"Shen'er, although you can use two minds when copying, and there may be no difference in the words written, but, child, you must know that when all the scriptures have been copied, the person you will hand over to is not your former private school teacher, nor the parents who urged you to study, but our lotus flower. If you copy carefully enough and have no distractions, then the lotus will know it, and only in this way can its ashes promote the growth of the lotus. ”

After listening to Zhong Dushan's words, the three of them didn't dare to slack off.

"Father, we all know it, but where is the lotus?" Zhong Jin asked puzzled as he looked around, not seeing the shadow of the lotus.

Zhong Dushan smiled but did not answer.

"Yes, Master Zhong, where does the lotus grow, why can't we see it?" Murong Feng was also very strange.

Zhong Dushan said: "We children, you are really too young. Do you think that the lotus flower that our Zhong family has worked so hard to protect will only have two gates?"

"What? and?" Zhong Shen was surprised.

"Of course, otherwise, how could we have let the lotus flower remain in our hands unharmed for so many years without being snatched away by others. Zhong Dushan said, and then continued to lead the way.

The three of them stopped talking, especially Zhong Jin, he used to be self-righteous, thinking that he had also followed his father for so many years to go north and south, and he had experienced a lot, but now it seems that he is really not deeply involved in the world, and those who were smart before him were just self-righteous.

After a while, the three of them came to a door again.

Actually, strictly speaking, this is not a door at all.

Originally, the three of them followed Zhong Dushan all the way, but at this time, Zhong Dushan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, father, why don't you leave?" Zhong Shen asked puzzled.

"There is no way forward. Zhong Dushan just said these four words.

And it was these four words that made the three of them completely confused.

Because, there is a bright light ahead.

The heavens are still the same, the earth is still the same, everything is the same as the way it came.

Rather, why did Zhong Dushan say that the road ahead was impassable?

In view of the experience just now, the three of them knew that they knew nothing, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that the three of them also stopped, Zhong Dushan asked, "What's wrong?"

The three did not speak.

"Why don't you leave?" asked Zhong Dushan.

"Didn't you say there was no way forward?" Zhong Shen whispered.

Zhong Dushan looked at Zhong Shen and asked, "But, the person who spoke just now was me, why do you all believe me?"

People don't know how to get back.

"Whatever someone else says, you have to test it yourself to find out. At no time can anyone follow the crowd. Zhong Dushan said solemnly.

At this time, Zhong Jin resolutely stepped forward.

However, he suddenly hit his nose.

What's going on?

It's obviously bright, but why does it seem like I've hit a hard object?

At this time, everyone understood that this was also a door.

It's just that this door is transparent.

So, everyone looked at what was behind the door and thought there was nothing here.

That's why Zhong Dushan said just now that the road ahead is impassable.

"Father," Zhong Jin rubbed his nose as he looked at Zhong Dushan.

Zhong Dushan saw that his child had hit a wall, although he felt distressed, but he was still very relieved, after all, they only knew the truth of the matter through their own attempts.

"This time, you'll figure it out for yourselves. Zhong Dushan said with a smile.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

This transparent door, without borders, without contours.

For three fledgling young people, it was really helpless.
