Li Dai took Gong Jue away and did not stay in Jingdu City. Instead, she teleported to the river and sea thousands of miles away, which was the place that separated the Jing Dynasty from the world of cultivation.
If it weren't for this long sea-like river, whose length is almost longer than the entire Dajing Dynasty, maybe many people here would know about the existence of the world of cultivation. Even if there are low-level barriers that confuse the eyes of mortals, but by mistake If there are more people breaking in, more and more people will naturally find out the clues.
Rather than being isolated from the world.
On the way back, Li Dai took out the small cloud and flew directly. The small cloud was fast and convenient for crossing the river. For Gong Jue, it was also more stable and safer.
On the way back, Gong Jue could see the vast river and sea below. It was also very novel to fly in the sky for the first time. As for those vague memories before the age of three, many of them were not clear. After all, children can only remember things. His ability was just that, and he couldn't remember the feeling of flying in the sky with his parents' royal magic weapon, but now that he was older, this feeling was particularly clear.
On the way, Li Dai suddenly asked:
"It seems that the aptitude was not inherited from your parents, but is more complicated and has four spiritual roots. So, what do you think?"
"Ideas?" Gong Jue was surprised and replied without thinking: "I don't know if you have other ideas, but as long as you can become stronger than you are now and not be bullied, everything will be fine." He said firmly. Confidence, "I am not afraid of my poor qualifications, so I can endure hardship and persevere."
Li Dai looked at him, obviously not much older than him, but she shook her head like an old-timer, "Your idea is a bit naive! In the world of cultivation, monks say that there is really no hardship in enduring hardship. The only hardship may be Going into dangerous places to gain opportunities, if you want to change, such as changing your physique, and constantly tempering your body like physical cultivation, it does require some hard work and perseverance, but most Taoist cultivation does not require this. Perseverance is a must, and hardship is probably not much.”
"As monks in my generation, although perseverance and hardship can add a lot of points on the road to cultivation, the most important thing is not these two."
"Then what's the most important?" Gong Jue couldn't figure it out. During the Dajing Dynasty, being a beggar often made him feel like he was never full, so in terms of enduring hardship and perseverance in doing things, he was regarded as the best among those who entered the Taoism. , Now that I am about to embark on a brand new prop, I naturally hope to know as much as possible from Li Dai.
Li Dai looked at him and replied: "Hardship and perseverance are not the most important, and qualifications are certainly not the most important. The most important thing is the heart."
"Heart?" Gong Jue was confused and looked confused.
"That's right." Li Dai sat cross-legged on the other side of Xiao Yunduo and nodded, "The heart is the most important, and what the heart wants is the most important! No matter how strong your desire to achieve it is, the actions you take will have more energy. If you want to be on the high road and want to stand on the highest peak, then you should have no distracting thoughts and focus on climbing. If you encounter obstacles, you can either find a way to escape or destroy them, and you can achieve your goal."
"So when you embark on this path of cultivation, what is the goal in your heart? Just to be stronger than before without being bullied? If you really think so, you are wrong. The world of cultivation is more cruel than the competition in the mortal world. You If you are weak, more people will bully you, but those who bully you are not enough to be your target. If you just want to surpass them and defeat them so that no one can bully you, then in the final analysis, you will not be able to bully you. You're just a little better than them. When your heart comes true, how will you feel?"
"So your heart should be higher and broader."
"Let's not talk about whether the goal of the heart can be achieved, but as long as the heart has thoughts, it will always be motivated and will not lose its direction. In this way, do you still think that your heart is not important?"
Indeed, compared with what Li Dai said about the lofty aspirations and grand goals of the heart, he is indeed too narrow-minded, and only sees the small area of the eyes. As Li Dai said, without a heart, without the goal of the heart's desire, then in You will lose your way on the long road of repair, and that will be a very scary thing.
"So what you should think about most now is what is your heart, what is your inner desire, and what is the ultimate goal of cultivating the Tao?!"
Li Dai's words silenced Gong Jue, who was still a young boy. He had experienced a lot of hardships and had a mature mind, but now that Li Dai had nudged him away, he really asked himself repeatedly in his heart, what is the one he wants most in his own cultivation? what's the result.
After thinking about it for two days, Li Dai didn't bother him. On the third day, Li Dai saw that he was really troubled and said, "When I first heard about it, I didn't say those words to make you think twice." Think clearly about your ultimate goal and your heart at once, because even you may not understand yourself 100%. Your true inner desire may be blocked by many obstacles, and you need to experience a lot of pain and suffering. In adulthood, it takes years and years of accumulation before you can understand what your heart wants, and some people may even not understand it in their lifetime, which is normal."
"So what I tell you now is not to ask you to come up with an answer right away, but you should remember to remind yourself all the time and never forget these words! You must always ask yourself, what is my heart? Until the day you figure it out.”
After hearing this, Gong Jue finally smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Dai for your teaching and guidance." He understood that Li Dai might have looked at her friend's face to remind her specifically, but this was also very touching. How many people can achieve her selflessness and love for the younger generation.
Li Dai didn't know what Gong Jue was thinking. She would probably laugh if she knew it. After all, she felt that she was selfish and made many mistakes. She felt that she was so selfless that she almost became extinct. No.
Even her senior brothers and sisters who didn't know her well, Nian Yao and Nianying, and even Shen Xiaoyun and those from the Invincible Mercenary Team who had dealt with her, they all didn't feel how selfless Li Dai was, even if she took out pills. Medicine was given to them to improve their health, but she didn't say that she would give away the unwanted elixir because she couldn't use it. She had to bring out novel herbs or other things in exchange for equal value. She didn't want to calculate the economic account too clearly.
In contrast, Li Dai has no intention of raising a group of white-eyed wolves who can only stretch out their hands for food and open their mouths. Things given away for free will not be cherished. She never does thankless things.
However, Li Dai was still very happy to be looked at with moved and adoring eyes. She couldn't help but say: "I said before, although the heart is very important, it is the driving force and guidepost for us to move forward, but equally, success It is impossible to just have momentum and direction. There is an old saying that to be successful, you need the right time, place, and people. The same is true for cultivating Taoism. Just having a clear direction is not enough."
"For most people, qualifications cannot be changed, and luck cannot be increased. Then the remaining perseverance, hard work, intelligence and ability to succeed are all advantages. These can take you further."
After Li Dai finished speaking, Gong Jue did not get any other important points, but he noticed Li Dai's first sentence, "For most people, their qualifications and luck cannot be changed, so...is there something special? For example That very small group of people?”
Li Dai smiled when she heard his eloquent question. As expected, when she was still a teenager, it was impossible not to care about his qualifications, especially because his parents sent him away because of his qualifications. .
Li Dai was silent for a while, and under Gong Jue's nervous and expectant gaze, she finally nodded: "That's right."
