Some people may be ordinary and live a mediocre life, while some people may be extraordinary and die with extraordinary people. Regardless of whether these two types of people are mediocre or extraordinary, for them, life will always be without too many disturbances.
The ordinary people have long been numb to mediocrity, the extraordinary people have long been accustomed to the extraordinary, and life always moves forward on the same track.
If you are born mediocre, living a mediocre life will not be a blessing.
But things in the world are always so complicated, and many parties involved cannot make the decision at all. Many "inexplicable" and "accidental" things happen to people and happen around everyone.
If God has bestowed upon a person an excellent talent and makes him or her stand out at a young age, then this person's future path seems to be bright.
But things in the world are always unpredictable, and a person's fate can often change in an instant.
When a person who is so high above suddenly falls from the colorful clouds, you can imagine the sense of loss in his heart. For God, this may be just a small operational error, but for a young man who is successful and high-spirited,
, this may be the most tragic thing.
When Chen Nan was sixteen years old, his cultivation level inexplicably stagnated, and then began to decline significantly. This was like a bolt from the blue for him.
If a person is mediocre at the beginning, then even if he remains mediocre for the rest of his life, he will not feel anything wrong, let alone suffer from it. But for a person who was once praised as a genius, he suddenly becomes a mediocre person.
Mediocrity, this kind of pain is greater than death. Geniuses become mediocre in an instant, and no one can accept this huge change.
The extraordinary suddenly became ordinary, and the genius suddenly became mediocre. Chen Nan suffered a huge change and almost went crazy. He worked hard to practice Xuan Kung, but the facts once again proved that he had really become a useless person.
Accustomed to being surrounded by a halo and having beautiful words before him, the huge gap made him almost have the idea of committing suicide. In the next year, he was in a state of confusion and felt that his life had suddenly lost its color.
Not willing to settle for mediocrity, he can only be mediocre. The cynicism has made him numb, and the suffering of bitterness and loneliness has become a part of his life.
Chen Nan's originally colorful world turned gloomy and dull. The great changes caused his life path to take a turn, moving further and further away from the original track.
When he was depressed, his father once sighed softly: "Life requires tempering, and suffering is also a precious asset." But by then he had already lost his old ambition, and while his skills were declining, his confidence seemed to be
It has also been obliterated.
His mother persuaded him to travel around the world and slowly let go of the burdens in his heart. Chen Nan listened to his mother's advice and from then on traveled to famous mountains and rivers, and traveled to many places in the Fairyland.
Meeting is a kind of fate, and meeting again after separation is a miracle.
Yandang Mountain has long been known as "a famous mountain on the sea" and "a most beautiful place in the world". It is also known as the first mountain in the southeast of China. Yandang Mountain is famous for "there is a lake on the top of the hill, with reeds growing in the grass, and wild geese sleeping there in autumn."
Got its name.
Chen Nan visited famous mountains and historic sites, not for fun, but just to relieve his depression. Half a year later, he came to Yandang Mountain. The beautiful scenery here made him relaxed and happy, and he couldn't help but linger for more than ten days.
The scenery here is beautiful, with countless scenery, and many strangely shaped peaks, caves, and waterfalls scattered throughout the mountains. Someone once sighed: "If you want to conquer the beauty of Yandang, you have to be a flying fairy!"
During these ten days, Chen Nan wandered around various places with beautiful scenery. During this period, he always saw a girl inadvertently, but every time he only saw the extremely beautiful back.
In this famous mountain with beautiful scenery, it is not surprising to see people sightseeing, but coincidentally, the girl's route to view the scenery seems to be the same as Chen Nan's, just in front and behind.
Chen Nan couldn't help but want to go up and say hello to the girl several times, but he held back several times. It seemed a bit abrupt to step forward rashly when they met by chance. Furthermore, given his current state of mind, he didn't want to be with many people.
When talking, it is completely like an ostrich mentality.
When he saw the girl's back for the seventh time, the girl in front stopped. What appeared in front of Chen Nan was a beautiful face, without any trace of earthly atmosphere, just like a banished fairy.
Her white clothes were fluttering, her hair was fluttering, and her beautiful eyes were looking at him unblinkingly, with a hint of displeasure on her unparalleled face.
"Bad guy, why do you always follow me?" The girl looked very cute when she was angry, and she even pouted her little mouth like a child. But this was not a pretense. It could be seen from her clear eyes that this was completely natural.
A person's eyes are the window to his soul. A girl's eyes are as clear as springs and as bright as stars. That pure look indicates that she is a very innocent girl.
Facing that beautiful and unparalleled face, Chen Nan felt a little shocked. Such beauty and heavenly fragrance were like an elf or a fairy in the deep mountains.
"Why don't you say it's you who keeps showing up in front of my eyes for no reason?"
"Bad guy, don't make excuses for yourself. I don't want you to follow me. There are two roads here, leading in opposite directions. Let's each take one."
There was a fork in the road ahead. The girl walked towards one road first. Chen Nan smiled and walked towards another road.
The two walked away from each other.
Chen Nan glanced back, and then strode forward. She was definitely a girl who was inexperienced in the world. She seemed to still retain the innocence of her childhood, otherwise she wouldn't have had someone "following" her for seven or eight days.
People are simply called "bad people".
Such a beautiful and refined girl seems not to belong to the world. Her pure words and innocent behavior seem to have no understanding of the world at all.
Chen Nan shook his head and continued to visit the wonders of Yandang Mountain.
He originally thought that he would miss the girl, and that the chance encounter would become a pretty good memory. But sometimes people really have to believe in fate, and five days later the two met again.
Both of them were a little surprised. The girl asked curiously: "Why is it such a coincidence? How come I met you again?"
"Yeah, it's really a coincidence."
The girl thought seriously and said, "Bad guy, are you following me on purpose?"
"We took different paths back then, and now we are coming from opposite directions. We are meeting each other, not following each other."
The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "That's true, but the master said that you can't trust anyone in this world. Who knows if you went around to the front on purpose."
The girl's skin was like snow, and she looked like a fairy in this beautiful place. But the serious look on her face at this time showed that she was an inexperienced little girl. Chen Nan was amused by her innocent words.
.
"Haha, your master said not to trust anyone, so do you believe what your master says?"
"Of course I believe it. I only believe what the master says, but the master is no longer here..." The girl's beautiful face showed a hint of sadness, and her words became lower and lower.
Chen Nan had already made a guess in his mind and said softly: "Apart from your master, do you have no other relatives?"
"No...why should I tell you?"
"Actually, not everyone in the world is a bad person."
The girl seemed to get rid of the faint sadness just now. She looked at Chen Nan seriously and said: "I don't think you are a bad person, but it has nothing to do with me. I have to leave."
"Wait a minute, can I know your name?" In the real world of intrigues, Chen Nan was really surprised to meet such an innocent girl who maintained a childish heart, and finally couldn't help but ask her name.
.
The girl blinked her big, smart eyes and said seriously: "I don't want to tell strangers."
"Well, be careful on the road. What your master said makes sense. Don't trust anyone easily." Chen Nan was a little worried. Such an innocent girl could easily be deceived and hurt.
"Thank you, but I won't go into the town. My master is right, the people there are very bad. I will only go to places with mountains and water."
These words confirmed Chen Nan's conjecture. The girl lived in the mountains all year round and had no contact with the outside world. Only in this environment could she maintain her innocence.
Seeing the girl walking forward lightly, Chen Nan waved his hand and said: "Be careful on the road, I hope we can meet again."
The girl looked back and said: "The world is big, we will definitely never meet again." Then she laughed playfully like a child and said: "If we can still meet, I will tell you my name.
"
Looking at the indifferent back, Chen Nan smiled. The girl's meaningless words just now seemed to brighten his depressed mood.
Chen Nan also left Yandang Mountain the next day. He went all the way south, admiring the folk customs of the prairie; saw the strange tribes in the Nanheng Mountains; and finally started to return after lingering in the fairyland-like Kunlun for a few days.
In the past year, he visited countless famous mountains and rivers. He seemed to have gradually let go of the burdens in his heart and was no longer as depressed as before. It had been nearly a year since he left home, and he decided to go back and take a look.
When passing by Yandang Mountain, Chen Nan couldn't help but stop. He has climbed many famous mountains in the past year, and Yandang Mountain is undoubtedly one of the more outstanding ones. It has strange peaks and rocks, ancient caves and stone chambers, waterfalls and springs, and beautiful scenery.
The second time he walked into Yandang Mountain, he was deeply attracted by the wonders here again.
There are towering cliffs, lush forests, winding valleys, waterfalls and flowing springs, and green pools and clear streams.
After standing in front of a waterfall for a long time, he walked down the river bank. Downstream, the rushing river gradually calmed down, and unknown wild flowers on both sides exuded bursts of fragrance. This natural fragrance made Chen Nan deeply intoxicated.
Just when he was feeling relaxed and happy, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
A girl who looked like an elf or a fairy was wading by the river with her bare feet, her smooth and jade-like feet glowing with a charming sheen. It was exactly three months ago that the innocent girl met Chen Nan in Yandang Mountain.
The girl we met for the first time.
The girl seemed to have just emerged from a bath in the river. Her slightly wet hair was stained with water droplets, and her face was as beautiful and refined as a flower rising from the waves.
Seeing someone walking upstream, the girl hurriedly escaped from the river and quickly put on her shoes. When she took a closer look and recognized Chen Nan, she opened her mouth in surprise: "It's you..."
"Haha, it's me. Can you tell me your name now?"
The girl was a little embarrassed, her face turned slightly red, and she said, "Why are you here again?"
"I passed by Yandang Mountain and couldn't help but come back to visit it again."
"Ah, so it looks like this, just like me."
"You haven't told me your name yet."
The girl smiled brightly and said, "My name is Yuxin. I was picked up by my master among the flowers on a rainy night."
The girl's sweet smile and soft words made Chen Nan feel heartbroken.
An abandoned child grew up in the mountains with his master. He had no playmates or friends, only one master who depended on each other for life. However, the master had already left...
"My name is Chen Nan, and I hope to become friends with you."
"Friends?" The girl's smile disappeared, and she said in a low voice: "I have never had friends. The master is gone, and I am the only one left..."
"If you are willing, we will be friends from now on." He had the urge to protect this girl for the rest of his life. The girl's life experience was so pitiful that Chen Nan was full of pity for her.
"Haha, okay, I finally have a friend." Yuxin quickly got rid of her sadness.
But the more she acted like this, the more Chen Nan felt sad.
He walked over, gently embraced her in his arms, patted her back lovingly, and said, "I will take care of you as my own sister from now on, and I won't let you get hurt in any way."
Yu Xin was a little panicked, and with a slight effort, a strong force immediately rushed towards Chen Nan, pushing him half a foot away. Chen Nan was secretly horrified that there was actually a super terrifying internal force hidden in this girl's body.
Yuxin said seriously: "I'm sorry, master said that you can't let men touch me."
Chen Nan smiled and said: "Fool, you didn't understand what your master said. Some men are indeed bad, but not all men are like that. Leave the mountains with me. I will take you to see the outside world and let you
See how people get along with each other."
"If I don't go, why don't you go, okay? We just became friends, and I don't want to lose you again right away."
"Why? Go take a look at the outside world and you will understand many things."
"I'm a little scared. The master said that the people outside are very bad and wants me to stay in the mountains and stay away from towns."
Chen Nan understood that the girl's master knew that she was simple-minded and was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he warned her like this. Although this kind of protection is very undesirable, it can still be seen that the girl's master cares for her.
"As long as I protect you, no one can hurt you."
"But... I'm still a little scared. Master said that people outside can eat people without spitting out their bones."
"Although some ugly things often happen between people, they are not always as your master said. You will know it when you get outside."
"Really? But... I think it's good to stay in the mountains, why do I have to go out?"
"Although the scenery in the mountains is beautiful and there is less hustle and bustle of the world, the outside world is also very exciting. If a person is outside the entire human society, his life will be imperfect and he will lose a lot of fun."
"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?" Yuxin was obviously moved. All the thoughts in her heart were displayed on her face, unlike ordinary people who kept it hidden in their hearts.
"Really, I'll take you to get familiar with town life. I'm sure you'll like it. I promise I won't let anyone hurt you."
"Okay, let me think about it. Let's stay in Yandang Mountain for a few days first." Yuxin has never been to a town. She gets her daily necessities in some remote mountain villages. Suddenly she wants to go to a town.
Living with many people made her really panic.
"Don't be afraid, I said, I will protect you."
A few days later, with Chen Nan's persuasion, Yuxin finally walked out of the mountains with him.
