Chapter 177: Smoke from Cooking
When she was in Jiulanmen before, Rongyu, in order to train her disciples to be very rational and able to withstand the pressure in their hearts, not only did she not say anything caring to them, but also did not allow the disciples to express their concern for each other with warm words. Rongyu required the disciples to get along with each other, to be united when going out to do things, and to cooperate tacitly. She also required the disciples to have a strong sense of independence, to keep a proper distance from each other, not to interfere too much in each other's personal space, and not to easily involve personal relationships. In other words, she required the relationship between the disciples to be based on rational harmony. As long as there was nothing serious, the disciples were not allowed to say things that would make each other feel warm. However, on the other hand, she also required the disciples to care for and comfort those in need when they went out to do things, so none of her disciples did not know how to care, but they usually did not say those considerate words to each other. Rong Yu asked her disciples to do this to prevent them from becoming dependent on others' care after getting used to being cared for, and becoming spoiled. If that happens, when they go out to do important things in the future and find themselves in a cold environment where no one cares, they will easily lack inner strength due to lack of spiritual support. In short, in Rong Yu's opinion, the disciples of Jiulan Sect must care for themselves, and the greater the proportion of their inner strength comes from themselves, the better. They must never develop the habit of getting inner strength from others. If a person's inner strength basically comes from himself, then he will not be so easily influenced by the outside world. Yin Ruchen, who grew up in a cold environment, never asked for the care of others, but she was more sensitive to care than ordinary people.
"Don't drink now, drink later." Yin Ruchen looked at Yan Moying with gratitude and responded. Then, she looked into the distance, pointed to where the smoke was rising, and said to Yan Moying: "Look over there, the smoke rising from the houses makes it hazy, doesn't it look nice?"
Yan Moying looked in the direction of Yin Ruchen's finger, and saw that the rising smoke made the natural scenery in the distance look like a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist. However, the smoke and the houses themselves all exuded a warm human atmosphere.
"Well, the smoke from cooking seems to add a fairy mist to that place, but it is actually the real fireworks of the world." Yan Moying said.
"Mo Ying, although the weather is very cold today, I am by your side at this moment, looking at the smoke from the cooking fires in the distance with you. I suddenly feel very warm, really very warm." Yin Ruchen said with emotion.
Yan Moying looked at Yin Ruchen with gentle eyes.
Yin Ruchen said quietly, "This place is quiet and peaceful, far away from the city. People living here are not disturbed by the hustle and bustle, and probably their hearts will be peaceful and free."
"Yeah, I like the feeling here too. It seems like two different worlds from the palace."
Yin Ruchen said: "We just walked here, and the smoke from the cooking over there seems to be so far away from us."
"We're getting closer as we walk." Yan Moying said with a smile.
"Can we speed up?" Yin Ruchen asked.
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two men quickened their pace and galloped on their horses. Soon they passed the place where they had seen the smoke rising from the cooking fires.
