Chapter 5: A Dream in the Rain
Only three steps away, Mu Yuan looked at the umbrella holder in front of him in a daze.
The blue hair is scattered, the plain white dress wraps her perfect figure, the skin is more delicate and white than the newborn baby, the fairy posture is not good, the country is captivating, she has a silver mask on her face, and the specific appearance is not visible, only revealing a pair of clear and translucent eyes and snow-white jaws.
Although I couldn't see it, I could hear it, and she was laughing.
"It's rainy, it's a troublesome day. ”
She gradually looked up, the oil-paper umbrella tilting back.
After the mention of the blue-haired woman in front of him, Mu Yuan remembered the current situation, and after only a few pauses, his clothes were completely soaked, and the biting cold from his body continued to hit his nerves, and he was about to continue moving forward, when a hand pressed his shoulder.
Mu Yuan struggled to no avail, so he had to look up at the blue-haired woman, a pair of big puzzled eyes revealing the question he wanted.
"Why is this aunt holding me back?"
The blue-haired woman's hand on Mu Yuan's shoulder didn't last long, and she didn't explain after she stopped it, and walked slowly past Mu Yuan.
Feeling the temperature that was indistinguishable from the normal day, Mu Yuan looked at the departing figure of the blue-haired woman from afar, and the moment he turned his head, the crisp figure sounded in his ears.
"Some roads, once embarked on there is no way back, a thought of God, a thought of demons, when moving forward, you might as well think about it, the road under your feet is not your own choice. ”
Mu Yuan paused for a long time before running towards his cabin, at this age, he obviously couldn't fully understand the blue-haired woman's words.
At the same time, the blue-haired woman who had arrived at the other side of the world was standing on the top of a mountain surrounded by clouds, holding a small wooden figure in her hand.
"Zen monk, I returned the grace of the year. ”
.....
The weather was always so interesting and unreasonable, just after entering the door, the downpour could be said to have stopped immediately, but Mu Yuan's attention was obviously not there, he was trying to remember, but no matter what, he did not find a familiar face similar to the blue-haired woman in his little head.
Not long after, Pang Long suddenly came to the door, in three years, Pang Long has made great progress, he is as tall as ever than Mu Yuan, his powerful muscles are full of explosive power, but his big grin character has never changed.
"Mu Yuan, why are you back? Today is the day you turn ten?" Pang Long saw Mu Yuan staring blankly at a certain place, and immediately hugged it with one hand and shouted.
"Ten years old, didn't it just rain heavily?" Mu Yuan was a little relieved, he naturally knew that today was the day he turned ten, but after the heavy rain, he could only cancel it, right?
"Rain, where did this rain come from?" Mu Yuan's words made Pang Long roll his eyes, and without saying much, he grabbed him and strode out, pointing out the door.
"Could it be..."Mu Yuan was dumbfounded, indeed, the sky was clear outside, the scorching temperature was flowing in the air, how could there be any trace of water droplets, seeing what was in front of him, Mu Yuan thought of the blue-haired woman in the rain, and suddenly felt something, and felt a small wooden figure from his trouser pocket.
"Hey, Mu Yuan, do you still play with this kind of gadget?"
Seeing this, Pang Long on the side walked quickly to look at the little wooden man, and quickly concluded that this ordinary little wooden man could not be an ordinary little wooden man, so he also lost interest, scratched his head, and said quietly.
"Mu Yuan, if you want this kind of little wooden man, I can help you do some. ”
"No need. Mu Yuan didn't say anything, just shook his head and rejected Pang Long's kindness, and took the little wooden man back.
"Let's go, I'm waiting for you. Pang Long saw that Mu Yuan refused and didn't continue, so he pulled him towards the square.
Soon, the two arrived at the square, and on the stone platform of the square, the village chief and the quenching pharmacist stood side by side, as if they noticed the two of them, and they cast their eyes one after another.
Pang Long grinned, not caring about those two gazes, Mu Yuan's eyes widened, his mouth was half-open, and he looked stunned.
There was no one else on the high platform except the village chief and the quenching master, the dead boys, girls, uncles and aunts were gone, and even he vaguely saw people standing on the high platform.
"Mu Yuan, what are you doing, come here. Mu Yuan may have lost his mind more times today than he has since he was a child, he listened to Pang Long's heavier voice, only then came back to his senses, strode towards the high platform, under the stage, the villagers were just full of knowing smiles, completely different from the heavy expressions before.
After some cumbersome etiquette, Mu Yuan can be regarded as free, and from today, he will officially enter the new world of ten years old.
Although the New Year's Eve ceremony was over, Mu Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, he stood in place and looked around.
"Little ghost, are you looking for me?" After a long time, the familiar voice of the Quenching Medicine Master resounded from behind Mu Yuan, and at this time, his signature smile was on his face.
Mu Yuan first briefly described the appearance of the blue-haired woman, but it was a pity.
"I don't know about the rest, but this woman is by no means from our village. ”
He didn't get the information he wanted, but Mu Yuan didn't show any disappointed expression, pondered for a while, and looked at the Quenching Pharmacist, who also said the words that had been repeated for nearly three years at this time.
"Teach me how to practice. ”
"Do you want to practice?"
"Good. ”
As he spoke, the hands on the Quench's back suddenly grabbed somewhere, and something flew into the air, it was a stone.
"I don't ask you why you suddenly want to get into the spiritual practice, whether it's a whim or not, whether you're really determined, and I'll introduce you when you decide to set foot on it, but before that, you know the difference between you and this stone. The old man in front of him was so solemn, it was the first time in Mu Yuan's memory.
"Stone, does this have anything to do with cultivation?" asked Mu Yuan puzzled.
"Naturally, there is a relationship. ”
The quenching master held the stone, pointed one of his fingers at a certain place on the stone, and then threw it on the ground, and soon, the incredible thing was revealed in front of Mu Yuan.
The ordinary stone was surrounded by green light, and the small torso began to swell, growing to the size of four or five Mu Yuan before it stopped, and the quenching medicine master was beside the tall body, carrying his hands behind his back, and a dusty breath emanated, and said indifferently: "This is cultivation." ”
"You... What does it mean?" Mu Yuan saw the magical scene in front of him and showed a shocked expression.
"Life is the greatest miracle of nature, no matter what race, what species, there is life and no life, there must be infinite potential hidden in its body, and the process of tapping the potential is not an exaggeration to say that it is cultivation or enlightenment. ”
As he spoke, the quenchist pointed to the swollen boulder.
"My human race is very fortunate that I have developed a high level of wisdom since I was born, unlike this stone monster that I have ignited, and can only act according to instinct. As soon as he finished speaking, the boulder underwent a second great change, and limbs grew out of its massive torso.
The stone monster swung its huge stone arm and slammed it at the quenching master.
"Ahh
"I'm teaching you a second lesson, don't close your eyes at any time, because that will kill you!" There was no huge vibration in his imagination, only the indifferent voice of the quenching master.
Mu Yuan quietly opened his eyes, the stone monster was no longer in place, and from the direction of the hand raised by the quenching master, under an ancient tree that had been broken, the stone monster was falling there.
"Now, do you understand what cultivation is?" Mu Yuan's reaction Quenching Medicine Master didn't pay much attention, he continued to say indifferently.
Mu Yuan nodded, and shook his head again, he grasped some keys, but still not all the clear.
"It's okay, the road of cultivation is long, you will slowly understand it in the future, and then I will tell you what enlightenment is"
