The straw sandal boy was very reserved, nervous and nervous.

He was wearing a coarse cloth and a pair of straw sandals, but his whole body was quite clean and tidy, his skin was a little dark, and his eyes were bright and energetic.

"Sit down, we meet each other, and we are destined to be together. Can you tell me about your past life?"

Lin Xun smiled and spoke, his voice warm and peaceful, which made the young man in straw sandals calm, like a spring breeze, sitting down as he said.

After thinking about it, he spoke clearly and organized.

The young man was named Su Bai, and he was from a remote village in Xihengjie. His family has been farming for generations.

Some time ago, the village was attacked by a beast tide, and Su Bai's parents were unfortunately killed, and the mouth of the ferocious beast...

After understanding these things, a hint of sigh appeared in Lin Xun's eyes.

Su Bai.

This name reminded him of Yun Qingbai again.

The straw sandal boy named Su Bai was extremely nervous at this moment. He had already understood it vaguely, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Lin Xun stared at the boy and said, "At that time, there was a very similar person, but when he embarked on the road of cultivation, he was forced to do so, and his life was full of tragedy."

Su Bai was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Senior, I'm different from him."

Lin Xun said: "What's the difference?"

Su Bai took a deep breath and said seriously: "I... If I could follow my seniors to practice Taoism, I would only be happy and happy, and no one could force me to do anything."

Lin Xun smiled. This was a very smart boy.

"Why do you want to practice Taoism?"

Lin Xun spoke again, "I only give you three chances. If the answer satisfies me, I will give you a chance to become a disciple."

Su Bai was excited and his whole body was trembling with joy and excitement.

But soon, he took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and was not in a hurry to speak.

He knew that this was a test for senior Lin Xun on himself!

If you answer well, you can jump from now on to the dragon gate and climb up the sky.

If I can't answer well, I... I will still be the waste who can only watch my parents suffer in front of the ferocious beast, but I am full of anger and anger but powerless!

"Why do you need to practice Taoism?" Su Bai began to think, his eyes dazed, and he remembered many things.

I remembered the miserable life of my parents working hard since childhood, but still being troubled by poverty and disease.

I remembered the practitioners who called the wind and rain, moved mountains and filled the seas, and were like omnipotent and capable of heaven.

I also remembered the tide of beasts that brought me extremely painful, and the scenes that were ridiculed by Xue Yong on the banks of the Star Chess Sea.

Xue Yong once said: "Without talent, and always working hard, it is versatile. There is never a shortage of candids in this world with higher ambitions. Everyone thinks that diligence can make up for their shortcomings, and the way of heaven rewards hard work, but in the end it is still the same as everyone else and is far from comparable to other practitioners. This is the great way. It has always been so cruel. It is absolutely a delusion for those with stupid qualifications to change their destiny against the will of heaven."

Suddenly, an unparalleled urge surged into the heart of the young man in straw sandals, wanting to express his vision of practicing Taoism.

But when he touched Lin Xun's calm and deep eyes, the straw sandals boy suddenly woke up and suppressed the strong impulse.

All the past were hatred, anger, sadness, and sadness, but they had already happened and could not be changed.

Since this is the case, if you want to practice Taoism in the future, you will definitely not be trapped in the past!

Thinking of this, Su Bai was sweating all over. He knew that if he had impulsively said the answer just now, Senior Lin Xun would definitely be very disappointed.

Then, the straw sandals boy fell into deep thought again.

The more he thought about it, the more messy he was in his mind, and he was in a daze, not knowing the passage of time.

Lin Xun did not disturb him and quietly stood up and left.

...

"Little Bug, why do you think of coming to see me?"

Lin Xun found Xia Xiaochong on the cliff. This innocent and innocent girl, as pure as glass, seemed to be different and still maintained her appearance back then.

However, compared with those days, the girl's appearance is less youthful and more beautiful.

"Ah? I remembered that I haven't seen Brother Lin Xun for a long time, so I came."

Xia Xiaochong looked confused and thought that this problem was too strange.

Lin Xun was stunned and couldn't help laughing. Yes, come whenever you want. Could it be that it was because of some purpose that he would come across mountains and rivers?

This is where the summer insects come from, and they do whatever they want, and their minds are flawless, but they are close to the great way and conform to their original hearts.

"If I don't come, will Brother Lin Xun go to find me?" Xia Xiaochuang asked.

Lin Xun was speechless for a moment. Of course he could say that he could do it, but when facing a girl like Xia Xiaochong, he was unwilling to do it perfunctorily.

After thinking about it, he sighed softly: "Yes, but it won't be now, and I'm not sure when, probably..."

Xia Xiaochuang said happily and said, "Just do it!"

Lin Xun felt ashamed.

Even he envied this clean and beautiful girl, like a flower and tree facing the sun, giving people a beautiful atmosphere.

The reason I envy him is because he can't do it.

He still has many things to do. Although a heart of Tao is unparalleled, he has already experienced hardships and is no longer as simple as he was.

Lin Xun said in a gentle voice: "Since you are here, let's have fun here. When will I miss home? I'll send you back."

Xia Xiaochuang blinked, her clear eyes full of smiles: "Brother Lin Xun, you should treat me well. As long as you don't dislike me, I will treat you well in the future."

Lin Xun laughed.

Chatting with Xia Xiaochuang made him feel extremely relaxed and happy.

...

For three days, the straw sandals boy kept thinking about the questions raised by Lin Xun.

He frowned, his face pale, and he looked exhausted.

"Brother, this question is too difficult. This little guy hasn't started practicing yet, so how could he say "knock your heart and ask the way"?"

In secret, Alu, who had been paying attention to Su Bai's movements, couldn't help but say.

Lin Xun's eyes were hard to understand, and he said: "A child born in poverty, once he encounters an opportunity that can change his destiny, even if it is just a wisp of ethereal hope, he will use all his strength to hold it in his hands, and even be more paranoid, and will sacrifice his life for it."

"On the other hand, those children with wealthy families will not be like this, because they don't have to worry about their future practices. Someone has arranged everything for them."

"This is the difference in origin. Among the poor people in this world, how many people can finally stand out?"

"Even if you can stand out, compared with those children from prominent families, there is still a huge difference in both future and background."

After a pause, Lin Xun continued, "Just like this young man, if he had not been from a poor family, why should he work so hard for an opportunity to practice Taoism? Similarly, since he wanted to change his destiny, he would have to make much more extraordinary efforts from the first step of seeking Taoism, otherwise he would be destined to be lost in the future."

Alu scratched his head and said, "Brother, with your current strength, you can just give this kid some advice, and you won't be successful in the future?"

Lin Xun laughed: "If so, I would rather not accept disciples. Since I want to accept disciples, I should be responsible for their future path. I don't want my disciples to live by relying on my Lin Xun's reputation in the future."

Alu said with a weird look: "But it would be too difficult to become your disciple and not be influenced by your reputation. If this kid does not put in a thousand times the effort, he may live in your shadow for the rest of his life."

Lin Xun said: "That's why I asked him that question. Only by thinking it through and understanding it can his path not be affected by me in the future."

"It seems that brother, you have made up your mind to accept this young man as your disciple?"

Aru said in surprise.

Lin Xun nodded and said, "At the beginning, I wanted to see if he would become the second Yun Qingbai, but now, I just want him to be himself, a unique Su Bai."

Speaking of this, Lin Xun smiled and said, "Of course, he has passed my test now."

“Passed?”

Aru was stunned.

...

"Senior, are you saying I'm already... qualified?"

Su Bai was woken up by Lin Xun, but he had not come up with a satisfactory answer from beginning to end.

But Lin Xun told him that it's OK!

This made him look confused.

Lin Xun smiled and explained: "If you tell me any answer, I will not be satisfied, because that is just your current idea. When you embark on the path of Tao and your strength becomes stronger and stronger, this idea will change accordingly."

After a pause, he continued, "I just hope that when you practice in the future, if you encounter confusion, confusion, or even disasters, ask why you practice Taoism in the first place. At that time, you will already have the answer in your heart."

Su Bai's head buzzed, and it seemed as if he understood it all at once, but when he thought about it carefully, he still had no idea.

Lin Xun patted the boy's slightly thin shoulders and said warmly: "This question is one of the reasons why you seek the ropeway. When one day you completely figure it out and see through it thoroughly, you will understand."

Su Bai was stunned, but still realized that he had already been recognized by Lin Xun. The problem he couldn't understand now can be understood in the future!

"Now, you have just been tested by me, but whether you will accept you as your disciple depends on yourself."

Lin Xun looked solemn and spoke calmly.
