There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.

What this says is not that the days in the mountains are carefree and the years are forgotten. It is that remote places have no calendar and do not know the solar terms.

This word is never a compliment.

Yang Xuan held his son in his arms, his wife beside him, and the family of three walked slowly on the mountain road.

There were many trees on both sides, and cicadas were screaming desperately on the trees. Occasionally, birds chirped, but they were soon drowned in the chirping of cicadas.

The lonely bird aroused the sympathy of the young master, and he shouted: "Fugui, Fugui, bite! Bite!"

This sounds like a playboy!

Yang Xuandan teased him, "Who does Dalang want Fugui to bite?"

"Aye!"

Yang Xuan tried to spank him, but A Liang shouted: "Aniang, Aniang!"

Once people have been lonely for a long time, they will long to join the crowd. But if you have a child around you, loneliness does not exist, and you just want to find a place to retreat.

Speaking of retreat, Yang Xuan asked Ning Yayun who was in front, "Master, does our metaphysics have a term for retreat?"

Ning Yayun flicked her tail, "Of course there is."

"Is it possible to increase one's cultivation through seclusion?"

Yang Xuan read a lot in the scroll. When it comes to retreat, it is always mysterious. What retreat is about detailed exercises, what is retreat to practice...

Ning Yayun smiled and said, "It's a retreat! It's more about punishment and anger, as well as the mysteries of the disciples who don't know the heights of the world."

"This..." Yang Xuan was stunned.

Ning Yayun said: "The so-called retreat must be to live in isolation and be alone, preferably in a place where there is no human habitation."

"Wait a minute, Headmaster, doesn't retreating in a mountain gate count as retreat?"

"People come and go in the mountain gate every day, and it is very popular. What is it called seclusion? It's just hiding one's ears and stealing the bell."

Yang Xuan: "What about seclusion in isolation?"

Zhou Ning whispered: "Zitai, don't be impatient, you have to practice step by step."

In the morning, Yang Xuan was stimulated by his wife...Zhou Ning was pregnant, taking care of the children, and taking care of everything at home. He practiced so absentmindedly and made greater progress than if he practiced hard.

He felt a little frustrated.

I was thinking about finding an opportunity to retreat.

Ning Yayun smiled, "The retreat place must be a narrow room or a cave. People crawl in through the opening with dry food. The people accompanying them will seal the opening, and the person retreats inside."

this……

Yang Xuan felt that it was different from the retreat he knew.

"There are no people around. Once people calm down, you can hear countless sounds, birds chirping, snakes and insects crawling, and beasts passing by. At this moment, you will feel that you are the only one left in the world..."

Yang Xuan fantasized about that feeling.

"On the first day you will still feel fresh, on the second day you will feel lonely, on the third day you will want to go out, but you can't... on the fourth day you will be restless and shouting... at night

, as soon as you close your eyes, it seems as if all the ghosts and gods in the world appear beside you, looking at you coldly, ferociously, or greedily..."

Is this so fucking crazy?

"Where's concentration?"

"Concentration?" Ning Yayun said with a smile: "What is concentration? When you feel that you are alone in the world, your past experiences will emerge with great clarity.

There are good things, but most of them are things that make you regret or dare not face directly...these past events will haunt you..."

Yang Xuan understood, "These past events will stimulate people's seven emotions and six desires. If you can sort them out, it will be a great achievement. If you can't..."

"I've seen seven people retreat."

"How many people have uncovered past events and emotions?"

Ning Yayun shook her head.

Yang Xuan's heart froze.

Zhou Ning was a little curious. "How do you know so clearly, Master?"

yes!

It's like experiencing it personally.

Ning Yayun chuckled, "Because I've been through seclusion!"

Yang Xuan refused to give up, "Then you have solved the problem now?"

A figure suddenly appeared in Ning Yayun's mind. That year, he was standing at the entrance of the alley in the pouring rain. He just wanted to ask his lover why he broke his promise and married someone else.

Immediately, the figure disappeared, and his Taoist heart recovered again.

"I don't know."

Yang Xuan was stunned, "The headmaster doesn't even know."

Ning Yayun flicked her tail, "If the seven emotions and six desires have been discovered, then what else do I care about? What inheritance do I care about?"

have to!

Ning Yayun doesn't dare to say that she has discovered the seven emotions and six desires, so I'll just continue to sink in the world of mortals!

A guard came over and whispered a few words to He Lianyan. He Lianyan stepped forward and said, "Lang Jun, Tian Xiao's people are all here."

"Just in time."

Yang Xuan hugged the eldest young master and said: "The guests are here, tell them not to be polite!"

"Take orders!"

He Lianhong turned around and confessed: "Lang Jun orders, take action at any time!"

This is a free attack order.

Yang Xuan gave his subordinates the greatest freedom.

You can hunt those idiots any way you want!

This is a mountain forest. Entering the mountain forest, Yang Xuan seems to have become the young man in Dongyu Mountain.

Confident and comfortable.

There was a temple ahead, and the abbot had already heard the news and led people out to greet him.

"I've met the deputy envoy."

Dozens of monks saluted together.

"No need to be polite." Yang Xuan nodded, "Master, I have a question to ask."

The abbot smiled and said, "Deputy envoy, please speak."

"For outsiders, should we live in isolation, should we abandon the ordinary world?"

This is a difficult problem.

If you say yes, then why did you bring people out to meet him?

If not, then what are you doing as a monk?

He just changed his identity and place and continued to wallow in the world of mortals.

The abbot was startled and said with a smile: "That's a good question, deputy envoy."

Yang Xuan smiled, turned around with the child in his arms, and looked at the forest ahead.

Just before, Lin Feibao had already taken most of the Horned Dragon Guards there.

Over there, traces of a large number of experts at the mirror were discovered.

The abbot pondered for a long time, "The so-called monkhood, the so-called foreigner, are just seeking peace of mind. If you want to have peace of mind, you must be indifferent to the seven emotions and six desires. But this is so difficult."

These words have some meaning.

"Cultivation of the mind requires tempering. The so-called tempering means experiencing all kinds of temptations and all kinds of hardships in the world of mortals.

Once you understand why the human mind is in turmoil, you can then cultivate your mind easily.

If you are successful in cultivating your mind, there is no need to avoid the mortal world.

If you fail to cultivate your mind, you need to avoid the secular world to cover up the temptation of the mortal world.

Therefore, when practicing cultivation outside, there is no need to live in isolation, otherwise you will be seeking fish from a tree and deceiving yourself and others."

A guard came over and sent a message to Jiang He'er, who then sent a message to Yang Xuan.

"Mr. Lang, it's time to take action."

Yang Xuan's smile did not change, "In this case, why did the great monk build the mountain gate on Mount Chang?"

The abbot chuckled and said, "What the deputy envoy said..."
