Xiao Yu sat on the ground and looked at the inside of the pond tiredly, although this pond was not very big, but compared to the few insects that Xiao Yu took from a long distance, this pond was already very large. Xiao Yu looked at the insects in the pond that were not visible at all, as if she had never done anything at all. I wonder if the old man thinks that he didn't get bugs at all. Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt that a lot of fish had gathered in the place where she had been throwing insects, and it seemed that her strength was not in vain. I finally have an explanation for the old man.

Xiao Yu felt very tired, so she just lay on the edge of the pond and fell asleep. By the time Xiao Yu opened her eyes, it was already the second day, and the old man was already sitting there fishing. Xiao Yu stood up and just wanted to speak, only to see the old man make a shushing gesture. After a while, the old man finally pulled the fishing rod in his hand, and a big fish was caught. It's been a long time since I've caught such a big fish. At this time, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yu and just wanted to speak. The old man first said: "Yes, it seems that you were not lazy yesterday, for the sake of your good performance yesterday, I will invite you to eat this big fish today." Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Old man, I'm not here to eat fish, I'm here to learn skills." The old man laughed and said, "Yes, then you tell me what you know, this skill is not so easy to learn." Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Although I don't have any great skills, but I can do it, I can't beat the masters, and ordinary people are not my opponents." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Then it seems that your ability is not small." Then I'll give you a simple task, you go and count how many fish are in that pond, it's a very small pond, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Xiao Yu laughed and said, "I thought it was a difficult thing, it turned out to be just a few small fish, so what's so difficult, I'll tell you the result in a moment." The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cook fish over there and wait for your results." After saying that, the old man left alone. Xiao Yu came to the edge of the pond and looked at the fish inside. But when the fish saw Xiao Yu, they didn't seem to be very quiet, but swam around.

Xiao Yu walked in front of the king while counting, as Xiao Yu kept moving forward, those small fish also kept moving, Xiao Yu just counted some, because of the swimming of those fish, Xiao Yu didn't know where to count. In this way, Xiao Yu kept counting many times, but still didn't know how many fish there were in this pond. At this time, the old man came to Xiao Yu with a piece of grilled fish and asked: "How is it, have you counted it, my fish over there has already been ready, and I haven't seen you go over for a long time, I'm afraid that I can't help but eat all the fish, so let's send you a piece first, I don't know how you counted." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the old man awkwardly and muttered, "I didn't understand." The old man said with a smile: "Isn't it a very simple thing, why haven't you counted it for so long?" Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "It's a very simple thing, but these fish are always swimming, so how can I count them well?" The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Then you didn't know that these fish food would move when you started? Do you think these fish will line up for you to count? If it were that simple, I wouldn't let you count them, and I can count them with a three-year-old child." Now you better eat something first, and after you have eaten, you can continue to catch worms and feed the fish, or I won't have anything for you to eat tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Didn't you ask me to count the fish here? Now let me catch insects, what should I do?" The old man laughed and said: "Of course I did both, if you don't feed the fish, I won't be able to catch fish, you don't understand the fish here, I won't teach you any skills, so you have to do both things well, as for how you arrange those times, that's your business." With that, the old man left again. Xiao Yu sat on the ground, and then looked at the fish in his hand and ate it one bite at a time. Xiao Yu looked at the fish in the pond while eating the fish in his hand, Xiao Yu looked at it and counted it, but Xiao Yu in the distance still couldn't see clearly, so he walked forward unconsciously, but Xiao Yu was still frightened and swam again, and Xiao Yu failed again.

Xiao Yu ate the fish in his hand in an angry manner, and then ran quickly to the insects again, Xiao Yu thought about how to count those fish while running. But I still can't think of a way. On this day, Xiao Yu ran several times. At night, Xiao Yu lay on the edge of the pond again, looking at the fish in the pond. After a few days of feeding the fish, the number of Xiaoyu fish is not understood, but the fish are fatter. The old man smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that we will be able to eat fresh fish every day in the future, why don't you leave, just feed me fish here, how good is it for us to have fresh fish to eat every day in the future?"

Xiao Yu knew that the old man was deliberately angry with himself, and he didn't reply to the old man's words. In this way, Xiao Yu kept repeating his work, and gradually Xiao Yu seemed to be a little numb, and no idea seemed to be gone, just simply repeating those work. On this day, Xiao Yu finished picking up the insects and came to the edge of the pond. Poured the worm into the pond. Xiao Yu came to the pond listlessly, Xiao Yu has rarely counted the fish in the pond recently, because the result of counting each time is the same, I don't understand how to count at all, this time Xiao Yu counted the fish again. There was no hope at all.

Now Xiao Yu's mind is really blank, and she doesn't think about anything else. Xiao Yu came to the edge of the pond and counted the fish in the pond one by one. One, two three hundred. Xiao Yu finished counting the fish in the pond. Suddenly, Xiao Yu was very surprised, he had counted the fish in the pond countless times, but there was no reaction at all, why would he finish counting the fish in the pond today? So Xiao Yu stared at the fish in the pond and counted them again, but soon, those fish swam again, and Xiao Yu failed again. Xiao Yu's mind is full of depression now, what the hell is going on, why can he still count the fish in the pond just now, but now he can't count them?

So Xiao Yu stopped catching insects, but sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and thought carefully about why he came. Xiao Yu's own recollection, suddenly Xiao Yu understood a truth, just now why can I count those fish, that is because my head was empty at that time and I didn't think about anything, but when I wanted to count it well, at that time my heart was thinking about the problem again, so the pond fish began to swim again. Does that mean that if you want to count the fish in this pond, you have to have no distractions?"

So Xiao Yu sat there and slowly eliminated all the distractions in his heart, and then Xiao Yu opened his eyes and slowly came to the pond again, these fish really stopped swimming, Xiao Yu quickly counted the number of fish in the pond, or three hundred. Xiao Yu was very happy, and just when Xiao Yu wanted to run to tell the old man about this, the old man appeared behind Xiao Yu. I only heard the old man laugh and said: "Yes, I thought of the truth so quickly, but it is much better than Hongran, I think he understood this truth at the beginning, but he thought about it for two months, but I didn't expect you to use it for a few days." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "This is not my ability anymore, to be honest, I just got it by chance." The old man smiled and said: "This is not an accident, from the beginning you were asked to catch insects for the fish to eat, just to let you clear those distracting thoughts in your head, but you did it very quickly." In fact, I want to tell you a truth so that you don't have any distractions. As long as people let their minds be free of distractions, many times they can let themselves be in it, but their qi is not in it. ”

Xiao Yu frowned and asked, "I don't understand what you said, can you tell me carefully?" The old man nodded and said, "I'll give you a simple example." For example, the fish you counted just now can only be counted without distractions. In fact, it's not that you can count those fish without distracting thoughts, but at the same time as you have no distracting thoughts, your qi has disappeared, although on the surface your people are still standing there, but because your qi has disappeared, those fish can't feel your existence at all. All people and creatures are like that, when your qi is truly gone. No one will see you, and although you have succeeded now, you have not yet been able to disappear your qi at will, so the next step is to change places and continue to cultivate. ”

Xiao Yu now understands the old man's words, and he also knows that his qi can only disappear occasionally. So Xiao Yu looked at the old man and said, "I think I know that I should go there to cultivate, but is it too dangerous there, I'm afraid that if I don't do a good job, I may lose my life." The old man smiled and said, "You come with me." After speaking, he walked in front, and Xiao Yu followed the old man. There was little time, and they came to those primitive creatures.

The old man said: "You are looking at the ground carefully now, there is a line here, can you see it?" Xiao Yu stared at the ground for a long time before he could barely see a line, so Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I can barely see it, but it is very unclear." The old man smiled and said, "With your current energy, it is not easy to see a little. This line is the boundary left by the great wise people I told you last time to block those primitive creatures, as soon as you step into that boundary, those primitive creatures will find you, so it seems that I don't need to say what to do, right?" After saying that, the old man left again.

Xiao Yu sat down and thought about the old man's words, but what should he do? No matter what he did, the old man told himself that the line was blocked, and it seemed that he wanted to tell himself that he could retreat outside the line at any time. Let's get rid of distractions first. So Xiao Yu worked hard to eliminate all her distractions, and then slowly walked into the block. Those primitive creatures really didn't find Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Since these primitive creatures have not found themselves, can they continue to move forward?" Just as Xiao Yu thought of that, those creatures suddenly moved and quickly attacked Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu hurriedly retreated beyond the blocking line. At this time, Xiao Yu was scared in a cold sweat. It seems that I still didn't have a completely distracting mind at that time. But can a person really have no distracting thoughts at all, and if he really has no distracting thoughts at all, isn't he a fool? Besides, he doesn't look like the old man has no distracting thoughts, isn't he also fishing?

Xiao Yu sat down again and thought carefully. Suddenly, Xiao Yu gradually understood some things, the absence of distractions is not to exist all the time, but to have that kind of mentality when needed, as long as he can achieve the realm of having no distractions at any time. So Xiao Yu once again eliminated his distracting thoughts and came to the block, but just after taking another step forward, his private thoughts appeared again. Xiao Yu retreated again, and after many days in a row, Xiao Yu finally controlled the distracting thoughts very well, and he was able to walk very close to those creatures without being discovered.

Today Xiao Yu has a bolder idea. Xiao Yu got rid of all his distracting thoughts in the morning, and then quickly walked into the obstacle, because now Xiao Yu doesn't have any distractions at all. Xiao Yu quickly came to the primitive creatures, and then gently touched the body of one of the creatures with his hand. The creature seemed to feel something moving on its body, but after looking around for a long time, it still didn't find anyone. Xiao Yu finished touching the creature, and then quickly left, retreating out of the block.

At this time, the old man appeared again. I only heard the old man look at Xiao Yu and smiled: "Little guy, you are really not ordinary, it seems that I really underestimated you at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be so talented in learning this ability, and it was much faster than me at that time." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "How can there be, you are always good at teaching." The old man said with a smile: "Don't give me a sycophant here, I don't like that set the most, but since you have completed the preparation work very smoothly, it seems that it is time to teach you now." When Xiao Yu heard that he was going to hand over himself, he immediately jumped up happily, but the old man immediately said: "Don't be happy too early, I recognize your cleverness, but you still have one more thing to do, and you can start learning only when you finish it." ”

Xiao Yu snorted and said, "How can you talk back on your words, didn't you say that you were going to teach me, why do you want me to do one thing before you are willing to teach me? You just want me to be a coolie for you for a while longer, don't you?" The old man looked at Xiao Yu and said with a smile: "Good boy, no one has dared to talk to me like this for a long time, even that kid Hongran nodded when he talked to me, aren't you afraid that I will not only kill you without teaching you?" Xiao Yu snorted and said, "What am I afraid of, am I justified in the first place?" Although this world is an era when the strong are respected, I still can't escape a single word in everything. If I have a reason, I will fight, this is my style of life. The old man smiled and said, "Boy, you are very interesting." It's been a long time since I've met someone who can make me so happy, it's good, to be a man is to have your own principles. No matter what comes your way, follow your own principles. But I'm too old now, and sometimes my head isn't so good. I just suddenly asked you to do another thing, and I backtracked. But it has nothing to do with me. ”

Xiao Yu looked at the old man and asked, "How do you say this, if you want to say a reason to convince me, then I can forgive you." The old man said with a smile: "I really convinced you, and at the same time I admire myself even more, now it seems that you are here to learn from me, how to make it as if I begged you, your tone is simply bigger than me, but I am really like that, as long as I want to do anything, as long as I don't want to, even if you kneel there there is no use at all." This is probably what people in your human world often say, "If you don't leave, go backwards", but this incident that I suddenly remembered really has nothing to do with what I taught you, it's your own business. ”

Xiao Yu looked at the old man and said, "What is it that has something to do with me, you can't find an excuse to find an excuse from me, right?" The old man laughed and said, "I'm not so afraid of you, am I? Of course it is, so what do you think I'm talking about? Xiao Yu sighed and said, "What a broken ability, and such a request, what does this have to do with virginity?"

The old man smiled and said: "You should understand this, the spirit of a virgin is different from that of a virgin, so the requirements for different abilities are naturally different, but fortunately, you don't seem to have wasted much vitality, so it will be relatively simple to make up for it." Xiao Yu nodded when she heard this and said, "I'll do it that time, okay, you still say how to make up for it." ”
