In the blink of an eye, five days passed in a flash, and in five days, Lu Jiang was almost standing still, and he only climbed ten floors in these five days.

Sitting on the one hundred and eighty-eighth step of the stairs, after Lu Jiang recovered his strength, he was about to continue to climb the stairs, but he saw that the rickety figure who was sweeping the leaves on the stone steps was only a dozen steps away from him.

This is an old man.

Looking at it a little, Lu Jiang was suspicious in his heart, the old man was less than one meter six, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as thin as firewood, dressed in gray and white clothes, which looked extraordinarily loose, as if a gust of wind could blow the old man away, what made Lu Jiang puzzled and puzzled was that the old man moved freely, as if he did not feel the inexplicable liliang on the stone steps.

When the old man was sweeping his head sideways, Lu Jiang suddenly caught the sweat dripping from the old man's face, only to find that the old man's back had already been wet with sweat, which made Lu Jiang unbearable, and he couldn't help but say: "Uncle, when you are tired, you can rest for a while." ”

Hearing Lu Jiang's words, the old man stopped cleaning and turned around. When he saw the old man's face clearly, Lu Jiang was stunned, and his heart felt inexplicably sour, the old man's hair was white, his face was wrinkled, full of traces of time, a pair of cloudy eyes were slightly sluggish, and the simple clothes reminded Lu Jiang of his father who was far away on the earth, perhaps, in a few decades, his father would also be old like this, right?

Pity... Unable to accompany him Zuihou time.

At this time, the old man smiled and said: "People are old, although the bones of the body are useless, but this bit of suffering is nothing." But brother, why did you come here?"

Lu Jiang woke up from his thoughts, looked at the old man and sighed: "It's hard to say, don't mention it." Uncle, everyone has the day of getting old, since you are old, then you have to take more care of your body, your uninterrupted cleaning will make your body more and more unbearable. Judging from the sweat of the old man, I am afraid that he is not a spiritual scholar, even if he is a spiritual scholar, his cultivation is not high, so Lu Jiang will persuade him like this.

"Hehe, thank you for the reminder. The old man's face was full of simple smiles, and when he swept to the stairs of Lu Jiang, he put the broom aside, sat down slowly, and looked at the more than a hundred stairs below, the old man said: "Look at the little brother's age, it is rare to be able to climb here." ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Lu Jiang asked suspiciously.

"This mountain is the enlightenment place of the ancestor of the Tianyun Sect, because of the relationship between the ancestors, the stone steps here have the morality left by the ancestors when they were enlightened, the higher the cultivation, the greater the constraints, the little brother's cultivation should still be in the period of Qi training, although the constraints are minimal, but to be able to get here, it can be seen that the flesh is not bad. The old man smiled and said,

"The place of enlightenment of the founding patriarch?" Lu Jiang was not only stunned, he didn't expect that this Siguo Peak would be the enlightenment place of the founding patriarch, but what made Lu Jiang even more incomprehensible was that this Siguo Peak had become a place to punish disciples who violated the rules of the sect, and after a little silence, Lu Jiang smiled bitterly: "Dissatisfied uncle, I am cultivating the spiritual technique of refining the body, so the physical body will be a little stronger than ordinary people." ”

"Oh, little brother is Li Ling?" the old man looked at Lu Jiang in surprise.

How could Lu Jiang not know the old man's surprise? Now there are very few people who cultivate the power spirit, and even the power spirit of the Heavenly Fortune Sect is gone, it can be seen to what extent the power spirit has declined, and with a wry smile, Lu Jiang said: "Yes, does the old man think that it is a little reckless to choose the power spirit now?"

"Reckless?hehe, when I was young, I had read many ancient books in the Heavenly Fortune Sect, and I had never heard that it was reckless to choose the spirit of the force, although the cultivation of the spirit of the spirit is difficult, but there will be people who choose the spirit of the spirit at any time, and it is not for nothing that the spirit has achieved extremely high achievements, the spirit of the force is not only the body, but also the state of mind, today's monks, most of them choose to cultivate the machine spirit quickly, although the strength improves quickly, but it will also be criticized for the future, of course, this does not rule out that some people are born suitable for the spirit of the machine. The old man said slowly, his words were very easy-going, and it was very pleasant to hear.

The old man's words made Lu Jiang fall into contemplation, all the time, he was hesitant to insist on taking the path of the spirit of the spirit, before, he did not have the spiritual cultivation method of the machine spirit, and he was forced to cultivate Jiupan, now, he is in the Heavenly Fortune Sect, he can choose the spirit of the spirit of the machine spirit at will, but when it is really time to choose, Lu Jiang hesitated, the strength of the nine pan made Lu Jiang deeply experienced, especially the physical liliang enhancement of that kind of pleasure, which made Lu Jiang very addicted.

"Everyone has their own path, and the path of every strong person cannot be replicated, and sometimes, choosing the right path is more important than going through a lot of hardships. He glanced at the pensive Lu Jiang and said slowly. Immediately, he seemed to say to himself: "Sometimes, the improvement of strength is too slow, which is not a bad thing, and many of today's spiritual priests want to step into the heights that some people can only achieve after a lifetime of penance when they are young, and some people want to get what others have obtained in a lifetime of hard work in the shortest possible time. In the vast number of sentient beings, countless spiritual warriors are running for strength, but as everyone knows, cultivation is just a process, and only after experiencing the ups and downs can it be regarded as having gone through a lifetime, and there will be no regrets in such a life. ”

"When you are young, you don't have to run around too much for strength and realm, some things come naturally, and you don't have to deliberately pursue anything. Otherwise, when you look back on your life one day, you will find that you have given up too much, although it is good to be young, but you must know how to cherish it, so as not to leave too many regrets. ”

The old man's words were like an initiation, which made Lu Jiang feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, recalling the picture he saw under the gate of heavenly fortune, the self that made people cry when he looked at the starry sky from afar, Lu Jiang had a feeling in his heart, in the past few months, he had been hesitant to give up Jiupan, wasn't it because the cultivation of Li Ling was too slow? Perhaps, as the old man said, cultivation is just a process.

Thinking back to modern times, the more Lu Jiang feels that the old man's words are so broad and profound, modern people's lives are all busy and under pressure, because too many people want to get the wealth and achievements of others in their lives when they are twenty or thirty years old, but they don't know that youth has long left him.

When Lu Jiang woke up, he found that the old man had already swept the stone steps below, at this moment, the old man's rickety body was extremely tall in Lu Jiang's heart, he didn't know what kind of past the old man had, but being able to say these words meant that he had experienced too much, perhaps, the old man in front of him was not ordinary, but even if he was ordinary, he was also an old man worthy of Lu Jiang's respect, and then, Lu Jiang stood up and bowed silently to the old man.

After calming his thoughts, Lu Jiang sat down again and re-planned his future path, the old man's words had already made him make up his mind to choose the path of Liling. He didn't know if this choice was correct, but even if he knew that it was wrong one day, Lu Jiang would not have any regrets, this was his own choice, even if he was wrong, he would finish on his knees.

What Lu Jiang didn't know was that when he just sat down, the old man raised his head slightly, and a strange color flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Three days later, Lu Jiang climbed the stone steps again, this time, he gave up the hesitation and burden in his heart, and devoted himself to it, although he is now pursuing strength, but he will not deliberately improve his strength for the sake of strength, this year, he can not leave, he can only rely on climbing the stone steps to hone his body to pass the time.

At this time, Lu Jiang was standing on the top of the one hundred and eighty-nine steps, the inexplicable liliang was like a towering mountain, and the bones of Lu Jiang's body "crackled", sweating like rain, his body trembled, and he almost wanted to fall, Lu Jiang clenched his teeth, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he struggled to resist this coercion.

"The coercion of this mountain is stronger than you can imagine, if you want to climb this mountain, why don't you feel the morality contained in this coercion when you resist?" At this time, the old man's words sounded again, he had already swept the stone steps, and was walking towards the top of the mountain with a broom, and when he passed by Lu Jiang, he said calmly.

"Bang!" Lu Jiang heard this, he was a little distracted, and his body was lying directly on the stone steps, when he raised his head, he saw the old man's rickety figure, carrying a broom like a leisurely stroll, walking towards the stone steps above, as if this coercion was useless to the old man.

"Feel the morality in this coercion when resisting?" Lu Jiang watched the old man leave and fell into deep thought.
