Ye Qin's ears were sharp and he naturally heard Hu Xiaocao's call, but he felt there was no need to say goodbye.
Dependent origins, predestined relationships, and predestined relationships will eventually end. Flowers bloom and fall and return to dust.
The fate with Hu Xiaocao also came to an end after he gave the woman a breath of "qi". The rest of the road was up to Hu Xiaocao to walk alone.
Everything depends on destiny. Ye Qin is worthy of his heart and worthy of heaven and earth.
Destiny came, so he came to help. Destiny left, and he stopped seeing each other and cut off the connection.
Thinking of this, Ye Qin felt relaxed.
Cultivation is about cultivating the body and mind. For Hu Xiaocao, this is a gift brought to her by the mountain god, but for Ye Qin, this is not just an experience.
People who practice Taoism pay attention to ruthless love and cut off the worldly ties, but how can we cut off the world without entering the world of mortals?
In the past, many people who wanted to practice Taoism found a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, far away from the turmoil of the world, and worked behind closed doors, thinking that this was the "Tao" they wanted to do.
In fact, this is not the case. After experiencing thousands of sails in the world of mortals, you can still keep your original intention in mind, hide in the mountains, and cut off all previous connections. This is the way of nature.
If you can't do it, then you will continue to indulge in the world of mortals. How can you say that this is not another great way?
There are three thousand great ways in the world, each with its own laws. One should not be identified as one way and deny the others.
Ye Qin's experience is exactly the same. Although his previous life was short, he was also ups and downs in the world of mortals, busy with life.
In this life, you are reborn as a snake, without the burden of life. You don’t have to worry about daily necessities and all kinds of troubles. He could cultivate wholeheartedly without being tempted by the outside world, and he never had any yearning for it.
The days of training in the mountains are boring, but for him, they are enjoyable.
Constantly break the constraints of life and explore unknown paths of spiritual practice.
Looking back now, the memory of his previous life seems to be getting more and more blurred. Sometimes Ye Qin wonders, is Ye Qin in human form just a dream he made up when he was visualizing?
Like bubbles in a dream, like mist or lightning, all conditioned phenomena should be viewed as such.
Regardless of whether it is real or a dream, this kind of experience is rare for others.
All Ye Qin has to do is to stay down to earth and seize the day now.
As the saying goes, predestined relationships are wonderful. As for whether we will meet Hu Xiaocao again in the future, it all depends on God's arrangement.
There is another thing that Ye Qin has always cared about.
After breaking through the second realm, Ye Qin caused a thunder tribulation. Although he didn't chop it, it must have been a thunder tribulation.
Therefore, he guessed that in the third realm, there should also be thunder disasters, and the scale might be larger than the second time.
As for whether it would hit him, Ye Qin was still not sure.
Because the thunder calamity never appeared, sometimes Ye Qin was a little absent-minded while practicing, but hoped that it would fall quickly.
This way he can put this matter to rest once and for all and concentrate on his cultivation.
But Ye Qin is not God and cannot control the thunder tribulation as he pleases. All he can do is wait quietly for that day to come.
"It's useless to think so much now. It's not that it's not late. The time has not yet come. I should follow my own trajectory instead of being led by the nose."
So what about thunder tribulation?
He was not able to hit him in the second realm. Even if he was hit in the third realm, according to his current cultivation level, he would still have the ability to protect himself.
This is Ye Qin's way to follow the laws of nature and follow one's heart without being constrained by the outside world.
After thinking about this, Ye Qin could feel his state of mind and reached a higher level again. Soon he ignored the matter of thunder and fell into concentration again.
Hu Xiaocao looked for Ye Qin several times later, but could not find him. As if he understood something, he never came to this mountain forest again.
As long as she knows that Grandpa Mountain God is still alive.
The mother and daughter still worshiped Ye Qin, but they never stopped. They knew that their current peaceful life was all thanks to Ye Qin.
Neither of them is greedy, and they cherish this last year very much.
Hu Xiaocao has also been preparing for her mother's departure during this year. Although she is very reluctant to leave, she has been trying to adapt.
They are all hard-working. Although women cannot do heavy work, they have a pair of skillful hands and can weave some things to sell in the market, and their lives gradually get better.
After the conditions were met, the things offered to Ye Qin became more elaborate.
Ye Qin no longer paid attention to the movements of mother and daughter. He thought that according to their mentality, they could live a good life.
The time spent practicing in the mountains passed by in a flash. As the sun set and the moon rose, Ye Qin's behavior remained unchanged. He still rested during the day and practiced watching the moon at night.
The little animals around are constantly changing, but there are still a few that never change.
The days are like running water, extremely quiet and peaceful. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Qin will continue to practice like this until he enters the fourth realm.
But with the arrival of summer, the high temperature for days quickly broke the original calm.
A crescent moon rose slowly, and its silver glow fell on the mountains, covering it with a hazy veil. Even so, it could not hide the leaves that had become hot due to the high temperature.
Ye Qin came out of the cave and felt a wave of heat coming towards him.
"The temperature seems to be much higher than usual."
You must know that the temperature is low at high altitudes in the mountains, not to mention it is still at night. Such temperatures are simply unbelievable.
His sharp eyes discovered that even the plants around the cave had become droopy. Not only that, but other plants and trees outside were also in this state.
Although Ye Qin concentrated on practicing and did not pay much attention to the outside world, he vaguely remembered that it seemed that it had not rained for a while.
Coupled with the scorching heat of summer, it is no wonder that such a situation occurs.
Ye Qin was okay. Because of his cultivation and because he had entered the third realm, he just felt a little hot.
But the other little animals suffered.
Everyone looked listless and seemed to have lost weight.
Ye Qin felt a little uneasy, "The temperature is a bit high at night, let alone during the day, I'm afraid the situation will be worse."
As a ray of morning glow penetrates the sky, the sky is like an oil painting with a blue background, gradually being painted with various bright colors, the most brilliant of which is the red sun.
Different from the gentle and harmless ones in the past, it only exposed half of its face, and you could feel the rising temperature in the air, and the heat wave was coming menacingly.
The originally wide and stretched leaves were forced to droop, not to mention the grass on the roadside. Countless water had been evaporated, and the thin clumps looked weak.
As noon approached, the heat wave continued to steam, and even the air was distorted.
Even with the shade of trees, it can't stop the temperature from rising, and there are almost no small animal activities in the mountains.
Even the sound of the cicadas chirping in midsummer has become much quieter, probably because they can't stand the heat, and their throats are almost smoking.
Ye Qin had a panoramic view of this scene, "The temperature in the mountain is about 30 degrees, which is obviously not normal."
Now that he has made his home in the mountains, the surrounding environment is closely related to it. It is precisely because of other creatures and these vegetation that a complete ecological chain is formed.
Although he is not affected now, changes in the surrounding environment will affect the creatures living in the mountains and forests, and they can also affect him invisibly.
All things grow because of nature, and nature will feed back, whether good or bad.
The long absence of rain and the high temperature made Ye Qin feel a little unhappy.
"If this continues, it won't cause wildfires."
