Lin Langtian was sitting cross-legged in the air, his aura faintly emanating from his body, but he was always suppressing the shaking heart of the fire veins.
Murong Jing thought of Lin Langtian who was protecting the Dharma during this period, and replied with gratitude: "The junior was very touched by the senior's words and gained something."
Lin Langtian looked at Murong Jing deeply. He did not ask what Murong Jing had touched or gained. He said with deep eyes: "I have always influenced you. I don't know what kind of mountain you will choose to climb. Or...become a mountain yourself, no matter which way it is, I hope you can see the path under your feet clearly."
Murong Jing subconsciously asked: "If I become a mountain, where will there be a road?"
Lin Langtian raised his brows, was silent for a moment, and replied slowly: "You chose to become a mountain, so before you became a mountain in the eyes of others, you were in the fog. Where is the road?"
Murong Jing was shocked and speechless, and said: "Then how can we clear the fog?"
Lin Langtian's eyes burst out with a burst of bright light, and he said calmly and calmly: "No one else knows how to clear the fog. Only those who choose to become mountains have the opportunity to try. And if you succeed, what you have experienced Everything and the footprints left behind will become the path for those who come after us to climb the mountain.”
Murong Jingdao's heart was shaken, and she opened her mouth as if it was difficult to breathe. After a moment of silence, she asked: "Then why is there no such person now?"
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is it true?"
"Everyone who made an attempt left traces, but their traces were not suitable for those who came after."
Murong Jing sensitively noticed that there seemed to be a contradiction in Lin Langtian's words, and frowned: "Senior, didn't you say that those footprints will become the climbing path for those who come after you?"
Lin Langtian was silent for a longer time this time, and a strong sadness inadvertently emerged from the depths of his eyes, "Because those who dare to try almost all fail."
"Almost?" Murong Jing looked at Lin Langtian with burning eyes.
Lin Langtian smiled slightly: "Actually, no one doubts the existence of this path. Before I answer you, I need to go back to your original question. The reason why you think there are no such people now is because they have all failed. And the experience of failure is not enough to guide newcomers to climb mountains."
Murong Jing lowered her head and thought, and asked slowly: "No one doubts the existence of this path because someone has succeeded and they have successfully passed on their experience to future generations?"
"Yes." Lin Langtian said: "But there are not many such people. No, it should be very few."
Murong Jing raised her head, pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "How many great ways are there in this world, how many people like this are there?"
Lin Langtian remained silent.
Murong Jing nodded slightly and asked: "Senior, are there immortals among the ten families, right?"
Lin Langtian smiled slightly: "What do you want to know? The Lin family does have immortals in the immortal realm."
Murong Jing was stunned for a moment and guessed: "There shouldn't be too many immortals like this, right?"
Lin Langtian seemed to understand what Murong Jing wanted to ask. He half-closed his eyes and did not answer, but there was a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
Murong Jing said: "If immortality means the success of mountaineering by latecomers, then are those mountains that existed long ago already full of people? And those who are only one step away from the success of mountaineering, if they cannot succeed, how can they still succeed? Can you go down the mountain by yourself?"
Lin Langtian's eyes showed admiration. Murong Jing showed such a closely related understanding that few people in the Lin family could match. The most important thing was that Murong Jing had never been in contact with an immortal, so she only heard some specious things he said. I thought of it after the words.
Lin Langtian's thought of recruiting a disciple came up again. He suppressed this thought for the time being and said, "No matter which path of cultivation you choose, enjoying the scenery on the road is the most precious thing."
"Some old guys are temporarily walking ahead, but they no longer have the same state of mind as when they enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Do you know why?"
Murong Jing didn't understand the connection between what Lin Langtian said and the question she asked for the moment. She was stunned for a moment before shaking her head and said, "I don't know, this junior."
Lin Langtian glanced at Murong Jing and said meaningfully: "Some of them, because they knew some of the scenery on the mountain in advance, ignored the scenery around them and hurried on, but were overtaken or even surpassed by latecomers. "
Murong Jing raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Is what the senior said about 'enjoying the scenery on the road wantonly' the pure and pure heart of a cultivator towards the Tao?"
Lin Langtian nodded with satisfaction: "That's why I didn't answer you directly. You can find the answer yourself, but I hope you can calm down and do what you should do now."
Murong Jing nodded with some unfinished thoughts. Lin Langtian glanced at the heart of fire veins still above her head. Thinking of the scene just now, he sighed softly: "Some people like to compare cultivation to a life and death struggle. I I like to compare it to mountain climbing, but whether it’s crossing or climbing, one thing is the same.”
Murong Jing looked at Lin Langtian, looking forward to Lin Langtian's answer.
Lin Langtian said in a gentle voice: "You can't look back, especially when you reach high mountains and dangerous places, you can't look back."
Murong Jing frowned and said nothing.
Lin Langtian seemed to see Murong Jing's thoughts and asked, "Do you want to compare the pros and cons of the two roads?"
Murong Jing felt a little guilty, but still nodded: "With this junior's level, it is indeed too early to think about this."
Lin Langtian chuckled: "Some things are just like the steep mountains that have been shrouded in mist. You suddenly ask so many questions. In addition to your own feelings, you are also asking some things for Mu Qing, right?"
Murong Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise. After a moment, she smiled with relief and admitted: "Mu Qing is an innate Muyuan body. Some of his abilities are similar to those of his predecessors' families. They are quite normal. However, he is not able to deal with some weird powers. He can also show strong control ability and does not seem to be stuck in the same attribute power."
"He's definitely made his own way."
Lin Langtian gave Murong Jing the answer simply, with a hint of appreciation finally showing on his face, and said: "The power of Shura's way is not weaker than the way of thunder. In my eyes, there is no weirdness or superiority in power." The only difference lies in how to use it.”
"And this kid has a talent that no one else has in mastering and using various forces. Sometimes I wonder if there is an extremely good teacher behind him, otherwise he would have died when he first tried it. Yes. Uh...Sorry, I suddenly forgot your relationship with him."
Murong Jing forced out a smile helplessly, and then asked solemnly: "Can Mu Qing still choose to climb a mountain?"
Lin Langtian was stunned. Of course he understood what Murong Jing meant, but he had never thought about this possibility. Throughout the ages, everyone who has determined to become a mountain by himself seems to have never walked the same path as others. .
"It's no longer possible. But one thing needs to be understood. Whether you choose to climb a mountain or become a mountain yourself, the road and the mountain are not created out of thin air. In this process, it has always been a process of learning, learning, and finally re-creating. Hmm , this is an extremely wonderful process.”
Murong Jing suddenly felt a strange Taoist charm, just like the bamboo forest after a thunderstorm, rapidly changing life amidst destruction. Fortunately, this Taoist charm came and went quickly, otherwise Murong Jing felt that she would not be able to get out. .
Lin Langtian waved his hand gently, and the fire-veined heart above Murong Jing's head returned to its original position. Lin Langtian said: "Practice is never smooth sailing. You should have experienced it firsthand."
Murong Jing nodded and sighed softly: "Juniors really shouldn't be too ambitious."
Lin Langtian smiled and said: "It's far from being too ambitious, but you really shouldn't have the idea of comparing good and bad. Difficulty and ease always vary from person to person. For us, cultivation has always been about pursuing a fit. You just need to find it. Just go in the direction that suits you.”
Murong Jing bent down and said with the courtesy of a disciple: "It is difficult for the younger generation to repay the kindness of the elders in preaching."
Lin Langtian chuckled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet."
"Huh?" Murong Jing looked at Lin Langtian in confusion.
Lin Langtian said: "Because you want to thank me right away, why not thank me together at the end?"
After Lin Langtian finished speaking, he threw a small black wooden sign to Murong Jing. After Murong Jing held the wooden sign, she suddenly had a new connection with the eight fire-veined hearts around her. It felt like he was holding an extremely powerful destructive force in his hand. It was the existence of this force that suppressed those restless fire-veined hearts.
"This is a piece of lightning strike wood. The reason why it has a suppressive effect on these groups of things is because I carved the thunder binding formation into it. I just intercepted a wisp of your breath and integrated it into the formation. In the future, you can use this A piece of lightning strike wood can easily suppress this place."
"senior……"
Despite her calm and carefree temperament, Murong Jing didn't know what to say, because she knew how much risk this piece of lightning-strike wood could protect her against in the future.
Lin Langtian smiled indifferently, pointed at the Fire Vein Hearts around him and said, "It's troublesome. These things are distributed in different places in Youyan State, which is a bit troublesome, but carving a formation into a piece of lightning strike wood is just a piece of cake. .”
Murong Jing pursed her lips and felt that the lightning strike wood in her hand was as heavy as a mountain.
Lin Langtian seemed to know that she was going through a serious decision in her heart, and fell silent, waiting for her patiently.
"Thank you, senior, for the gift. I accept it." After Murong Jing decided on something, she regained her free and easy temper and continued to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Langtian with a wave of her hand. Lin Langtian said with a smile: "I thought You will still reject me, and if you do, the lightning-struck wood will still be left to you, but we will probably never see each other again in the future."
Murong Jing looked at Lin Langtian and said: "For what the senior has done today, I can't think of how to repay the junior. The junior is worthy of Sister Wei Rui, and is willing to serve the senior as a junior in the future. I don't know what the junior will think of this." It won’t be a high climb.”
Lin Langtian raised his brows. Unexpectedly, his apprentice had not gained anything, and it seemed that he could have an extra granddaughter. He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and asked, "Will those people from the Murong family agree?"
Murong Jing said with a strange look: "As a senior, anyone would think this is a high climb. Moreover, although this junior's surname is Murong, he was taken to Hidden Valley when he was a child."
"Oh, so you have such a life experience." Lin Langtian looked at Murong Jing for a moment. Murong Jing could clearly feel that Lin Langtian's eyes were very soft. Lin Langtian said: "My whereabouts cannot be hidden from those old guys, you It’s not a good thing to appear in the eyes of those people at this time.”
Murong Jing said indifferently: "This junior doesn't care."
Lin Langtian thought for a while and suddenly said: "You seem to be setting up a new sect with the Murong family. How about establishing an alliance between this sect and the Lin family?"
"Huh?" Murong Jing never thought that it could develop like this. Is a sect that has not yet revealed its horoscope qualified to establish an alliance with the Lin family?
No one would think that this was the Lin family taking over the new sect. Even Murong Jing thought so. Everyone could understand that this was Lin Langtian's great support for the new sect.
Lin Langtian said with a smile: "The forces in the Western Mountain Realm all surrender to the Lin family, but they can be roughly divided into two types. One is the forces under the Lin family, and the other is the alliance."
Murong Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Senior thinks too highly of us."
"No, if that guy who still lives in the sea of consciousness can really integrate the Murong family's background, he can barely be regarded as a first-rate force even in the Xishan territory."
As if he had decided something, Lin Langtian suddenly said something.
Murong Jing opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a moment before she realized: "Senior, are you talking about Murong Yun?"
