The cool breeze is trustworthy and the autumn moon is boundless.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On a slope, the young man was lying quietly, looking at the starry night sky with confused eyes, with an expression that was inappropriate for his age on his delicate face.
"Loneliness, loneliness..."
Lin Yufeng sighed softly and said to himself: "This world is not the previous life after all. Here, my grandfather and father both died young, my mother is seriously ill and bedridden, and I am the only one left in the whole family."
Since he was five years old, Lin Yufeng has shouldered the burden of the family alone, working hard, getting up early and going to bed late, and the hardships have lasted for years. However, Lin Yufeng did not despair. In his heart, as long as his mother's condition can be cured, all the hardship will be worth it.
"I really miss my life in my previous life..." A touch of affectionate nostalgia appeared on Lin Yufeng's face: "Although my grandparents in my previous life were not relatives whose blood is thicker than water, my life was very happy every day."
"And Xue'er, it's been fifteen years... If she is still alive, she should have grown into a beautiful girl, and it's time to talk about marriage." Lin Yufeng had that clear picture in his mind.
Cool down the lovely and beautiful face.
Beauty grows old with a snap of the fingers, and youth disappears in an instant.
"Oh, forget it, Yin and Yang are separated, and we will never see each other again." Lin Yufeng shook his head and sighed, putting away his somewhat sad mood.
"Brother Feng!"
At this moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded from behind.
"Huh?" Lin Yufeng knew it was Feiling as soon as he heard it, so he answered.
"Giggle, Brother Feng, you are lazy here again." Fei Ling smiled sweetly, walked over with small steps, and then sat next to Lin Yufeng, looking at the handsome young man's resolute but reassuring face.
"I'm bored, so come and enjoy the breeze." Lin Yufeng turned his head, looked at Fei Ling's pretty little face, and asked, "Is mother asleep?"
"Sleeping." Fei Ling nodded, and then whispered: "Brother Feng..."
"Huh?" Lin Yufeng looked at Fei Ling doubtfully.
"Tomorrow...it's the seed selection." Fei Ling suppressed her voice, stared at Lin Yufeng with some worry, and said, "I'm a little nervous."
"Haha, it's okay. With your talent and qualifications, plus what your grandfather passed down to you, you will definitely be able to pass." Lin Yufeng heard this, smiled and waved his hand, comforting him.
"It's not me, Brother Feng, I'm talking about you." Fei Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Can you pass?"
As soon as Fei Ling finished speaking, Lin Yufeng was slightly startled, then he let out a breath and chuckled: "Who knows the result?"
"What if you can't pass?" Fei Ling's beautiful little face was full of worry.
"Can't pass?" Lin Yufeng looked at the night sky, thought for a moment, and smiled with relief: "If you can't pass, then you can't pass. Anyway, if you pass, you will be completely away from your mother. She is at home alone, so I don't worry."
Fei Ling looked closely at Lin Yufeng's face and said softly: "Then you plan to stay in the village all your life and not go out to see the outside?"
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng shook his head and said: "I will go out. It's just a matter of time. I still have a chance. I originally planned to wait for my mother's condition to stabilize a little before thinking about going out to find a prescription. I didn't expect Gumen to come here."
Recruit disciples, and if you are lucky enough to pass the competition, you might as well go out in advance to find the prescription."
Fei Ling tapped her snow-white chin, and then said reluctantly: "It would be too lonely if all of us passed and you stayed."
"It's okay, we're just separated for now. When the time comes to go out, I will definitely go find you." Lin Yufeng said with a smile, not sad because of his friend's separation.
Fei Ling also showed an intoxicating smile, looking at Lin Yufeng with a gentle smile, she sighed quietly in her heart.
How could she say that I am lonely because I left you?
She understands him, but he doesn't understand the girl's thoughts...
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes." Lin Yufeng smiled softly, looked at Fei Ling and said: "This matter has been difficult to consider since ancient times. The brief separation is also for the sake of reunion in the future."
"Well..." Fei Ling murmured, holding her legs with her hands and lowering her head, wondering what she was thinking.
"Haha, you two little guys are really leisurely."
Seeing that Fei Ling seemed a little sad, Lin Yufeng was just about to say a few words of comfort when suddenly Old Xuan's voice came from behind.
"Grandpa Xuan, why are you here?" Lin Yufeng was slightly startled and stood up. Fei Ling beside him also put away his sadness and looked at Mr. Xuan with a smile.
"I was bored, so I came here." When Mr. Xuan saw Fei Ling, he smiled softly and said, "Little girl Ling'er, Grandpa Xuan wants to talk to Xiao Feng about something, you go back first."
Hearing this, Feiling looked at Mr. Xuan doubtfully, then nodded, told Lin Yufeng to go to bed early, and went back with some reluctance.
"Grandpa Xuan, what's the matter?" Lin Yufeng turned around and asked after watching Fei Ling go back.
"It's nothing." Mr. Xuan suppressed his smile, glanced at Lin Yufeng, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that in less than half a year, you would reach the ninth stage of spiritual energy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yufeng was shocked. He didn't expect that Mr. Xuan could tell his own cultivation level just by looking at it. However, he thought that Mr. Xuan's strength should be pretty good, and it would not be difficult to see his own cultivation level.
"It's just a fluke." Lin Yufeng smiled modestly.
"Haha, I have been able to cultivate to the ninth level of spiritual energy in half a year. This speed is really shocking." A touch of amazement appeared on Mr. Xuan's face as he praised.
"Grandpa Xuan, you said it before. It's really just good luck." Lin Yufeng scratched his head. In fact, he also knew in his heart that if it weren't for that trace of Origin Qi, it was still unknown whether he could reach the ninth level of spiritual energy.
"Luck is also talent." Mr. Xuan smiled lightly, and then his face gradually became solemn: "Xiao Feng, can you promise Grandpa Xuan something?"
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng was stunned for a moment. Seeing the old man's serious expression, he asked strangely: "Grandpa Xuan, what's the matter?"
Mr. Xuan let out a heavy breath, and then solemnly said: "Can you fail the selection competition the day after tomorrow?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yufeng was stunned.
The breeze was blowing the flowers and grass, and it was quiet and peaceful.
Mr. Xuan remained silent, just looking closely at Lin Yufeng who looked shocked.
"Why?" Lin Yufeng frowned slightly and whispered: "Why did you tell me to fail?"
"There is a reason. To be precise, your fate should be like this." Mr. Xuan sighed softly and said slowly: "Xiao Feng, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specific things yet. I can only hope that you can
Stay for now."
"Destiny? My destiny?" Lin Yufeng was extremely confused, frowning, and asked: "I don't understand, Grandpa Xuan, if I can pass the competition, I can enter the ancient gate, get generous rewards, and my mother's illness will be cured.
Hope, but if you ask me to stay, won’t it make my mother’s condition worse?”
"Hey, Xiaofeng, I can understand your mood." Mr. Xuan said helplessly: "I know that letting you stay will make you uncomfortable, but this is also a last resort. Grandpa Xuan also thinks about you, and your mother
Even if I knew it, I would still choose to let you stay."
"But..." Lin Yufeng hesitated, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Mr. Xuan sighed slightly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Although he knew that even if everything was arranged to prevent Lin Yufeng from passing, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the young man in front of him would still be able to pass even if he encountered those difficult obstacles.
"Xiao Feng, Grandpa Xuan doesn't want to force you to stay, so..."
Seeing Lin Yufeng's heavy expression, Mr. Xuan had no choice but to say: "You have to choose all this."…
Lin Yufeng raised his head and looked at Mr. Xuan closely: "Grandpa Xuan, you really can't tell me what's the reason?"
Hearing this, Mr. Xuan pondered for a while, then shook his head gently and said in a low voice: "I can only tell you that if you can stay, you will know everything about you, including the origin of your mother's illness.
as well as....."
Having said this, Mr. Xuan stared at Lin Yufeng with his eyes that seemed to see through the world: "Your true destiny!"
As soon as Mr. Xuan finished speaking, Lin Yufeng's whole body trembled slightly, and his face was filled with various expressions, including confusion, shock, and confusion.
"Xiao Feng, think about it carefully."
Mr. Xuan patted Lin Yufeng on the shoulder and smiled gently: "Whether you choose to go out or stay, Mr. Xuan will still support you."
After saying this, Mr. Xuan put his hands behind his back and walked back with heavy steps.
The cool breeze blew the young man's black hair.
The soft moonlight shone on the young man's body.
"My life experience...my true destiny..."
Staring at the full moon in the night sky, Lin Yufeng murmured: "What on earth could it be?"
——
The next morning.
The ancient village, which had always been peaceful, seemed to be welcoming a great joy today and became extremely lively and noisy.
The reason is naturally the arrival of the ancient gate. The children in the village are eager to get out of the mountain village and see the excitement of the outside world, so they get up early and start preparing for the competition.
Of course, the prerequisite for leaving the ancient village is to pass the seed selection competition. In order to pass the competition, the young people in the village practiced hard just to join the sect and enter the mainland.
After all, young people know that if they lose the competition, it means they have to continue to stay in the mountain village, which is naturally not what they want to see.
Moreover, being able to join a sect is something that many people are thinking about. The sect can not only provide security, but also distribute elixirs, have elders give lectures in person, and even enter the library to select the best techniques.
All kinds of huge temptations make more and more cultivators try their best to enter the sect to practice. Although the sect has many benefits, the threshold is indeed frighteningly high, and countless people have broken their heads or even failed.
Even in his youth, he failed to enter the ideal sect to practice.
Although the ancient sect is a lower-medium-sized sect, its recruitment of disciples is no less stringent than that of some major sects, and its bottom line for admissions discourages many cultivators.
Although it is difficult to enter the sect, it does not mean that there are no opportunities. In order to improve their success rate in passing the competition, the young people in the ancient village have suffered a lot over the past year.
A simple thatched hut.
The young man sitting cross-legged on the bed, like an old monk in meditation, slowly absorbs the true energy around his body.
At this time, there were noisy sounds outside, which made the young man raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he opened his eyes, his deep black eyes flashing with a maturity that did not match his age.
"What did you mean by what you said last night?" Various noises came to his ears, and Lin Yufeng suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Mr. Xuan last night.
He had a sleepless night, constantly thinking about every word Mr. Xuan said in his mind, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what the mystery was.
"Forget it, after working so hard for the trials, I have to give it a try." Lin Yufeng pondered for a moment, shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts, then clenched his fists, and a flash of determination flashed in his dark eyes.
When he came to another room, Lin Yufeng was slightly startled and found that his mother was awake and looking at the lively scene outside the window, so he hurried over.
"Xiao Feng, is today the trial for the ancient sect?" Lin Yufeng's mother, Yun Yan, had a soft smile on her pale and pretty face.
Lin Yufeng nodded and said with concern: "Mom, you have to have a good rest and not walk around casually."…
Yun Yan turned his head, grabbed Lin Yufeng's hands, and said solemnly: "My child, if you pass, if you don't want to stay, just live a good life outside."
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng was startled, suddenly remembered what Mr. Xuan said, and said in surprise: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, I know that you have always wanted to go out. Mom doesn't want to delay your beautiful youth because of her body."
Yun Yan sighed, stared closely at Lin Yufeng, and whispered: "But Xiaofeng, you must remember that if you go out, you must remain anonymous and don't let others know that your surname is Lin!"
"What?" Lin Yufeng was shocked and extremely confused, and asked: "Mother, what do you mean by this? Why can't others know that my surname is Lin when I go out?"
"No reason, anyway, just remember it." Yun Yan shook his head and said solemnly: "Also, you can't cause trouble, and you can't show off in the market..."
Lin Yufeng smiled and patted his mother's hand. Although he didn't know why he did this, he must have done it for his own good, so he comforted him: "Mom, don't worry, I will just do as you say, wait for me
Through the competition, I must find a cure for your illness."
Yunyan smiled happily and nodded. She didn't say anything about not looking for a prescription for her own sake. She had said these words countless times in the past ten years, but it didn't work every time. She knew in her heart that Lin Yufeng would not do it anyway.
Give up on your illness.
"Okay, mother, I'm going out." Lin Yufeng helped Yun Yan cover the quilt and said with a soft smile: "Wait until I come back with good news."
Immediately, Lin Yufeng showed a reassuring smile to Yun Yan again, opened the door and went out.
"This child...is suffering too much." Yun Yan watched Lin Yufeng leave, a trace of sadness and guilt appeared on his pale and pretty face, and he blamed himself.
"Xiaoyan, the rest depends on his decision." At this time, a figure in white robe walked out of the corner, came to the hospital bed, and said softly.
"Mr.
Carrying such a heavy burden alone.”
After a pause, Yun Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with tears, and he choked with sobs: "The Lin family really can't bear it anymore."
Hearing this, Mr. Xuan was startled, nodded, then shook his head again, and finally sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Yun Yan wanted to say something, but he was speechless and his face turned gloomy.
"Even if I don't say it, with his intelligence, he will know sooner or later that destiny is like this, what can he do? What is supposed to come will appear sooner or later, and..." Mr. Xuan said slowly with a solemn expression:
"From the moment Xiao Yun disappeared, he has already shouldered this heavy burden."
