Lei Jing took the knife and felt the activity that was better than the first two wooden knives. She finally asked: "Sir, I have a question to ask you."

Chen Lian took the knife back into his sleeve. He took off his clogs and put his feet in the clear and moving stream, allowing the flowing water to wash his feet, just as if the Buddha once placed his feet in the water of the Ganges. This quiet and peaceful posture would be captured by any Qi practitioner who is proficient in spiritual practice. If he visualizes Shen and practices his posture at this time, he will definitely be able to improve his soul.

He signaled Lei Jing to sit next to him, and the master and apprentice washed their feet together in this quiet and remote place. Lei Jing was a little shy at first, and then sat down generously.

The rocks were a little cold, but very clean. The wood chips radiated when the wooden knife was smelted and carved were already flowing with the water.

Chen Lian turned his head and said to his female student: "Now you can say what you want to ask."

Lei Jing felt the coldness of the water stimulating the soles of her feet, and the pores in her body were inspired by the water. The opening and closing were more powerful, making her whole body feel comfortable and her qi and blood flow smoothly.

She said leisurely: "What is the reason why sir carves a wooden knife? Is it just fun? What the students are more curious about is that the wooden knife is obviously a dead object, but when carving it from the sir, I think it has spirituality. When I fell asleep, I seemed to hear them breathing, and it was not, but it was true that they were sucking inspiration."

Chen Lian smiled slightly and said, "Jing'er, you can feel the breathing of the Wood Knife. It's really a great progress. In fact, all the spiritual things in the world have breathing, and they are not limited to the mouth and nose. You don't feel that it's wrong. The Wood Knife does have spirituality, or even demonicity, but now they are weak, and there is no difference between spiritual and demons."

Lei Jing lowered her head and pondered for a while, then asked: "Sir, spirituality and demonicity should be a kind of self-consciousness, or soul, but why is there a distinction between spirituality and demon?"

Chen Lian clapped his hands and said, "Take one and go against it. Jing'er, I believe you will become a Taoist in the future. As for the distinction between spiritual and demons, it is actually difficult to distinguish clearly. I cannot make a self-judgment. But I can tell you a story. In the past, there were two sheep, each with a grassland. Then they all like to eat grass. However, one sheep always has to eat grass until the fullest. When it eats grass, it does not let go of grass roots. Soon there is no grass around it, and it has no choice but to leave early to find the next grassland. When the other sheep eats grass, it knows how to stop and will not destroy the roots of grass. It divides the grassland around it into multiple small areas. After eating grass for half a minute, it will change to another one. This cycle continues, and that grassland has been supported for a long time."

Lei Jing realized something: "Sir, it means spirituality is to know how to stop when you can, and magic is to indulge in will."

The deep and faint eyes bent on the other side, and a leaf fell from the branches and flowed into the flowing water, and disappeared in a flash. The leaves fell off because a bug only ate its leaf base.

He said slowly: "You are right, but not completely right. Sheep like to eat grass. At first, the sheep wanted to eat grass, and also wanted to eat grass all the time. However, it did not restrain its own ** and unscrupulously let go of its stomach. Therefore, the grass quickly became deserted. The other one could not only restrain its appetite, but also divided the grass into ranges and told itself when to resolutely eat grass in only one interval."

Lei Jing suddenly realized and said, "I understand. The sir is trying to tell me the difference between doing whatever you want and not doing what you want. He is also talking about how to control our nature rather than letting it flow. Just like this flowing water, it can flow anywhere, but with the constraints of the river, it will not flood everywhere and can exist for a long time."

"It's just that I still have a question." Lei Jing continued.

"I know what you want to ask. You want to say that if the sheep finds a more fertile grassland after leaving, or snatches the grassland where other sheep are located, they can still eat unscrupulously. In other words, if there is the strongest power, there is no need to worry about so much. Do whatever you want. Just like your uncle, King Xia, as long as he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do." Chen Lian said slowly, saying Lei Jing's words in his heart in one sentence.

The worldview she has shaped over the past decade will naturally not change just by reciting a few words.

Besides, Daxia can be the sheep that eats unscrupulously, because they are better than others and have not enough of their own, so they can just grab other people's things.

The prey of the weak is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth.

Lei Jing nodded and paid careful attention to Chen Lian's reaction.

But Chen Lian's expression was as usual, and she did not have any dissatisfaction with her. Perhaps Chen Lian had any dissatisfaction and did not reveal it, but she would not change her thoughts at this time.

She replied softly: "So sir, we think that our Xia tribe is demonic?"

Chen Lian smiled faintly and said, "I didn't say that. You must take good care of these three wooden knives. Next, I will pass on another skill to you." It is difficult to convince a person to change his cognition. Even if Chen Lian can forcefully change the world view that a person has accepted since childhood through Taoism, what is the difference between that and Yanxu? And always thinking about making others the same as himself, how boring the world will be.

Lei Jing said curiously: "Sir, are you going to pass on my magical channel technique? But I haven't practiced my magic power yet."

Chen Lian looked at her slightly curly and long eyelashes, her eyes were better than the agility of the stream, and thought in her heart that this was a woman favored by the Creator. He said, "Although you are a woman, you are shed with the noblest blood of the Xia tribe, so your strength is not bad, so I will teach you how to carve it next."

Lei Jing felt that carving was more interesting than practicing inner breathing, so she said, "Okay, what did that sir teach me to carve?"

Chen Lian said in a faint voice: "There are twenty days left to be the full moon, and it is also the day when your Xia Kingdom sacrifices the moon. That day, the King of Xia will hold a palace banquet. Try to use those three wooden knives to make stone sculptures that look the same as your uncle, but don't carve your eyes. I will give some advice on it until you complete the stone sculpture and satisfy me."

Lei Jing became more interested when she heard Chen Lian’s words. If his uncle saw him carving a stone sculpture that looked the same as him, he would definitely be very surprised that day of the palace banquet."

But she was a little hesitant. Will there be any problem with the stone carving? But since the gentleman asked her to carve, it would be difficult to hide it from her if she did something. At worst, let Guan Longzi take a look at it first.

Although this person has always pretended to be profound, Lei Jing knew in her heart that he would not betray his uncle.
