In the previous life, there was a saying in the Analects, the wise man was happy with water, and the benevolent man was happy with the mountain.

The original meaning of Confucius is unknown to others, not to mention that later generations, even Confucius's disciples, may not understand what their teacher meant when he said this.

But mountains and water have been closely related to people since ancient times.

Don't say anything about relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, just words related to mountains and rivers are everywhere.

For example, trekking through mountains and rivers.

For example, sightseeing.

However, trekking through mountains and rivers is a little heavy, and playing in mountains and rivers is a little frivolous. For people, the closeness to the landscape is the most neutral and impartial in terms of "travel and sightseeing".

The Yellow Emperor sacrificed to the sky and wanted to find a mountain to sacrifice.

Why?

Because it's closer to the sky.

Emperor Qin asked for immortals and wanted to send people to the sea.

Why?

Because the sea is vast, the distance of the water symbolizes the distant and unknowable, and perhaps there are gods living in it.

These are all the masters of the people, and they are far away from ordinary people.

And how do ordinary people feel when they face mountains or water?

It definitely feels like it's there!

And most of the time it's different from when you're on the plains.

The plains represent stability, but they also represent mediocrity.

But.

When you reach the top of the Ten Thousand Miles.

Even if the edges and corners are smoothed out by life, even if you are mediocre or mediocre for a lifetime or half of your life, when you are on the top of a high mountain, you will involuntarily be full of spirit.

When you come to the edge of the sea, or take a boat in the middle of the sea.

Facing the calm sea, the turbulent sea, the gentle sea, the roaring sea.

Whether you were peaceful, irritable, generous, or extreme, your heart or mind will be drawn by the sea, and then whether it causes calm or turbulence, in short, it is oriented to openness and vastness.

So.

If you are disappointed in life, if you feel that you are being worn by this red dust, then go mountaineering.

If you feel that you have lost your passion, or you feel that you are always in a state of extreme and inexplicably violent in your heart, and you can't even get used to it, then go to the water, you can see the sea, you can go out to the sea, you can dive into the water.

Then you may have a different perception of life.

And then your life may change for the better.

Why?

In fact, it has nothing to do with the heart.

Or even if there are some psychological factors, psychology is only an introduction, and the real internal reason is still the interaction between qi and machine, and the sympathy between objects and me.

It is said that it is called "the unity of heaven and man".

You can explain it simply in terms of magnetic fields.

It is the majestic magnetic field of mountains or water that causes the change in your own magnetic field.

But this explanation is too narrow, and the level of sympathy between the object and the self is far from being represented by the so-called magnetic field, but has a deeper and more comprehensive content.

But it doesn't matter.

Just like the Tao Te Ching's sentence that the Tao can be the Tao and the Tao is not constant, the name of the Tao can be the name and the name is not the same as the name, in short, it is enough to know that there is such a thing.

-- The landscape is easy to change.

The "easy" here is change.

The soul of the mountain and the spirit of the water can nourish people's body and mind.

Be.

Body and mind!

Not only for the heart, but also for the body.

When standing at the height of the great grandmaster, many things in the world were unveiled in front of Xu Guangling.

This incident is just a small example.

It's one thing to know, but after you know, it's the next step to apply.

And in this matter, for Xu Guangling, what can form a qi interaction with people and a sympathetic relationship between things and self can be mountains, water, or ......

A tree.

Feeling the calm of both body and mind not far from his side, Xu Guangling smiled faintly.

The old man probably could only feel that it would be more comfortable at this time, and he would involuntarily and inexplicably wander around this tree in the future, but he probably didn't know why, let alone why.

All his actions are instinctive.

In Xu Guangling's eyes at this moment, the tree that he had used a lot of effort to guide and grow was shining and beautiful under the vision of the spiritual sense.

And this time.

Whether it was him or Gan Congshi, he was shrouded in that crystal brilliance.

The sparkle, the brilliance, is not static, but constantly flowing, like a water balloon or light curtain that is completely out.

In this circulation, the tree brought the two people under its shroud into its life operation and was nourished by it.

At this point, Xu Guangling created or refined for the first time a kind of "elixir" that can be used by cultivators and ordinary people.

Vitality Ichor is not available to ordinary people.

Not to mention ordinary people, all human-level cultivators can't do it, and even a powerful earth-level cultivator like Gan Congshi can only use it a little bit shallowly.

But this "elixir" is different.

Anyone can use it!

Xu Guangling finally found something that could be used by his parents, especially his mother, in this life.

In fact, Xu Guangling couldn't be sure a moment ago.

Because his theory in this area is not perfect enough.

In other words, he has not yet established a complete system for the topic of "the influence and linkage between the life operation of plants and the life operation of animals".

However, when this tree came out and appeared in front of me, a point in this theoretical coordinate system was determined.

Now, when he returns to the dealer's house, he plants such a tree in his yard or outside his mother's window against the wall.

The woman who was an ordinary person didn't have to do anything, but her daily life and the splendor of the tree she inhabited were all transformed little by little as time passed, not only her body, but also her mind.

To use the description in the Dao Collection of the previous life, one year is easy to blood, two years is easy to qi, three years is easy to bone, and four years is easy to marrow.

Of course, the one, two, three, and four here are imaginary fingers, and they do not really represent the exact year, year, year, three, and four years.

Then, until the body and mind are pure, they cultivate themselves without cultivating, and naturally enter the path of cultivation.

Even, even if he is not involved in cultivation for the rest of his life, his lifespan is far beyond that of ordinary people, not to mention that ordinary people can't compare, even human-level monks can't compare.

In terms of longevity alone, it can at least be equated with a ground level.

At least!

And if he had such a means in his previous life, the two old men would not have had to practice so hard.

In particular, because of the reasons of the two old men in opening their minds, in order to "correct deviations" and "return to heaven", Xu Guangling did not know how much thought he had to open up and establish a stack of theories.

Of course, those setbacks were not in vain, but consolidated Xu Guangling's theoretical and practical foundation in this regard.

This is a past life and a past life.

And now, of course, he can't plant this kind of tree in the banker's yard right now.

It's too ostentatious!

At this time, it is not the time.

And as far as the aura environment is concerned, Qingshui City may not support this kind of tree.

It's still early, the father and mother of this life are still very young at this time, not to mention ten or twenty years, even thirty and fifty years can afford to wait.

Of course, he doesn't have much time.

Given the information provided by the Heavenly Mirror, nine years.

This is actually not short.

And if the situation is not wrong, it will be about three to five years, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Zhuang Zhihe, and Zhuang Zhixin, the three people of the Zhuang family, one of them may be the first to break through to the ground.

At that time, the dealer should move to the county town in a small part, and also have the qualification to have a spiritual land in Dongshan.

At that time, the dealer was open to the sky.

And he should be far away.

These three to five years are enough time for him to get everything he wants in the county town.

Then naturally, it is to go up the mountain.

Probably the state capital.

It could also be the imperial capital.

No matter how big the world is, he will definitely tread it little by little.

Starting from Qingshui City, to the county, to the state, to the country, to the region, to the entire world.

It also starts from the condensation of qi, to the passage of the veins, to the enlightenment, to the earth level, to the heavenly level, to the "saint", and it covers all the cultivation levels in this world from the lowest to the highest.

Well, in the space of nine years.

And that's just the beginning.
