Sha Qifei couldn't help it, and immediately shouted: "Hey, hey, this can't work!Brother Lu, you've already promised me......"

Lu Zhiyi stretched out his hand to stop Sha Qifei and said, "Sha Qifei, don't worry, what I promised you will not change." However, there is one thing I want to tell you, this senior is with me, since you invited me to be a helper, it is equivalent to inviting this senior, and he will go to the mountain with us!"

As soon as the old madman heard this, he immediately laughed, raised his chin high, and showed an extremely proud expression at Sha Qifei. Sha Qifei wanted to distinguish it, but was stopped by Lu Zhiyi again, and said: "Don't worry, in fact, you think about it carefully, since you think that you have such a strong sense to get the Providence Flower this time, then what does it matter who follows you? If it can be disturbed by someone's providence, is it still Providence? Maybe the appearance of this senior and me may also be arranged by Providence, if you forcibly refuse, you may miss the opportunity, think about it yourself!"

As soon as Lu Zhifei said this, Hu Liuan said to Sha Qifei on the side: "What Mr. Lu said makes sense!" Sha Qifei showed a thoughtful look on his face, and as soon as he raised his hand, a piece of grass appeared in his hand, and he sent it to his mouth, but only half of it was delivered, and the grass suddenly broke into two pieces in his hand and fell to the ground.

Sha Qifei smiled when he saw the old madman, knowing that he was the one who made the ghost, he immediately glared angrily, but the old madman ignored him, with an expression of love as it is. Sha Qifei was half angry and held the sword in his hand, but was dragged by Hu Liu'an. Hu Liuan smiled at Lu Zhiyi and the old madman: "The two of you are out of company." I'll go out with Sha Qifei and say a few words!" he said, and dragged Sha Qifei out.

The old madman didn't let it go, and when Sha Qifei passed by him, he also shushed at him twice. When the two of them went out, Lu Zhiyi said, "Senior, why do you deliberately trick them?"

The old madman tilted his mouth and said, "The old madman is happy, can't you?" By the way, stupid boy, did you deliberately say those words to the boy surnamed Sha, or did you realize it in your own heart, is this how you understand the will of heaven?"

Lu Zhiyi didn't expect the old madman to care about what he said. Said: "Senior." Is there a problem with what I'm saying?"

The old madman scratched his head and said, "Question, according to what you said just now, isn't it all providential?"

Lu Zhiyi: "Could it be that he was born between heaven and earth, is there anything else that is not determined by heaven's will?"

The old madman laughed. Said: "Ordinary people hear your words. I'm afraid of despair. But fortunately, it was the old madman who heard it. With your cultivation, you won't say such things for no reason, and you won't see them for a while. Your state of mind has been touched, it must not be the matter of the Providence Flower, tell me the old madman, what are you thinking about in your heart?"

Lu Zhiyi: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from your old man's eyes." The younger generation's doubts are not anything else, it is this bazaar!"

"Oh?" the old madman raised his eyebrows and said, "What is there about this market that makes you wonder?

Lu Zhiyi took a deep breath and thought for a while: "Just now, the seniors suddenly disappeared, and the juniors wandered around the bazaar, and saw so many cultivators exchanging all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, exotic flowers and plants, etc., which was very lively. Later, I saw that many spirit beasts and strange beasts were captured by cultivators and locked in cages, waiting for people to exchange. The younger generation saw a little fox among those strange beasts, and felt sad in his heart, and then looked at this ruin and saw those cultivators who exchanged various things, and I don't know why I had some doubts. ”

The old madman laughed and said, "Boy, you told me a story about a praying mantis before, and now it's a little fox." Okay, old fellow, I want to hear what you wonder about a little fox?"

Lu Zhiyi: "It's not entirely because of that little fox, the junior just suddenly thought of what so many cultivators in those ruins, what are they doing?"

When the old madman heard this, his originally smiling face suddenly became a little solemn, and his eyes were a little thought-provoking when he looked at Lu Zhiyi, he didn't speak, but turned around and walked out of the house, Lu Zhiyi didn't know what he meant, so he had to follow him out.

This room is located halfway up the mountainside, and you can see the ruins when you just came, when the sky is nearly evening, under the sunset, the corridor is gilded with golden light, like a golden snake entrenched in the basin, and the noisy human voices are faintly heard in the evening wind, which makes people feel confused. Lu Zhiyi looked at the golden afterglow, and for some reason felt a little familiar, and when he looked around, he saw Sha Qifei and Hu Liu'an nearby. But the old madman's ears moved, and he said, "Haha, the kid with the mustache is arguing with the kid surnamed Sha, let the old man listen to what they are saying." ”

The old madman pricked up his ears, and after listening for a while, he scolded: "Damn, these two boys don't scold each other, they actually scold my old man behind my back, see that the old madman doesn't clean them up!"

Lu Zhiyi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Whoever asked the old man to eavesdrop on other people's words deserved to be scolded." Senior, you haven't answered me yet? What are the people in the corridor doing?"

The old madman said stupidly: "I'll clean up these two rabbit cubs later." He looked Lu Zhi up and down again and said, "What are they doing, what kind of problem is this?" Silly boy, could it be that you are really called stupid by the old madman, you can't see what they're doing with your eyes, and you can't hear what they're saying with your ears?"

Lu Zhi showed a look of doubt in his eyes, and slowly shook his head and said, "Of course I can see and hear, it's not that I don't know what they're doing, but I don't know what they're doing this for." Senior, I would like to ask you a question, do you think those people there are really cultivators? Can they achieve cultivation, attain all kinds of liberation, and even attain the state of immortality?"

The old madman didn't follow Lu Zhiyi's finger to see the bazaar, but looked at Lu Zhiyi, the more he looked at it, the stronger the smile on his face, and when Lu Zhiyi became more and more strange, the old madman said: "Silly boy." What are these people doing, can they be liberated, can they live forever, it's your, what kind of care do you have for them?"

Lu Zhiyi shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about them, nor am I doubting their actions, but I see myself from them, and I am doubting myself." I was thinking about what they were doing, what I was doing, and seeing them made me think. And thinking makes me see myself. I saw them rushing around there for a spirit stone, a spirit flower, and a magic formula. But I couldn't see what I was doing.

I also think that these cultivators are really walking on the path where they want to reach by doing this? Just like Sha Qifei, who is trying to win the Heavenly Providence Flower. And for what purpose. Could it be that a flower is really favored by providence? I don't have the idea of pursuing immortality in my heart, and I don't care if it's a practice or not, so what am I chasing? What should I chase, do I have to ask myself, or do I ask the providence that determines a qiē?

When I saw the little fox in a cage, originally a creature at ease between heaven and earth, why was it caught and locked in a cage? It was exchanged for something by other practitioners, why did it suffer this qiē? Was it destined by Providence? Or was it hateful to the practitioners? I heard from the Feng Sect that the cultivators of the Dao Sect have a so-called demon extermination order, if it is just a fight, wouldn't the demon also have a slaughtering order? I thought again, in fact, I am very similar to the little fox, except that its cage is made of wood, which is relatively small, and my cage seems to be the world I am in, maybe just myself. ”

Lu Zhi said a large series of questions in one breath, these are exactly the ones that he saw when he saw the little fox in the cage, his mind suddenly shook, and he remembered that compared to the previous time when he had just transformed from the fire eye ice pool, at this time he had begun to have all kinds of inexplicable changes, no longer retaining that kind of innocence, and began to have doubts, but he could not find the origin of doubts.

It was rare for the old madman to listen quietly to Lu Zhiyi's words, and then his eyes also showed a look of doubt, and he only heard him say: "Silly boy, the old madman really can't see through you at this time, you are clearly only in the realm of knowing, how can you think about the questions that my old man can only think about? Silly boy, do you know, your problem is that you will not really have to cultivate and realize until you reach the realm of knowing your fate, and if you ask these questions now, no matter what answer you get, it will be empty talk for you." ”

Lu Zhi frowned and said, "Empty talk? senior, do you mean that I shouldn't ask this question with my current cultivation? But although my cultivation is only like this, it doesn't mean that I won't encounter a problem like yours or a higher cultivation realm to think about and verify? It's like the will of heaven, it won't bring about things that people don't want to bear because people don't want to bear it, right?"

When the old madman heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he also frowned, and said, "That's right, it's just that the cultivation is insufficient, and it's useless to talk about it more." It's like talking about the scenery you see on the mountain before you have climbed the mountain. However, the old man always thinks that you kid is a little special, and since you asked, maybe it is necessary to talk to you. ”

When the old madman said this, he cleared his throat and said, "Silly boy, since you just talked about those cultivators and what little foxes you talked about, the old man reminded you, apart from thinking about why they did this, have you ever thought about the reason why they did this?

Besides, the little fox, you saw that the cultivator caught it from the jungle between heaven and earth and locked it in a cage, and you also thought that you were between heaven and earth, as if you were in another cage? You must have also thought that the little fox wanted not to be caught by the cultivators, wanted not to be locked in the cage, wanted to break through the cage and escaped, but there was nothing you could do.

When the old man said this, you must have realized that in fact, these two questions have the same answer, and the meaning of cultivation is in it. As for the will of heaven, to be honest, in the eyes of the old madman, he still can't see what heaven is, and all the old madman sees is the qiē he encounters, and then the old madman will think about how he would rather treat the qi ē he has met. Silly boy, you already know the cultivation of the realm, your body and mind are in harmony and you are doing what you do, and you can keep your roots in the face of chaos, so what about the next, in the face of the one you encounter, don't you have your own will? Don't you want to change something, to experience something? In the face of all things between heaven and earth, in the face of all living beings, don't you have your own will?"

When the old madman said this, Lu Zhiyi looked at his gaze, the old madman's gaze was not clear but with a strange feeling, so that when he saw this gaze, he felt a kind of freshness in his heart, a kind of vigorous vitality, and he was walking endless......ly in the form of the old madman!
