17. Reflect on the edge of the cliff
The reflection cliff of Kunlun Houshan is bare, and there is nothing else except a few weeds, so naturally there is no way to avoid this heavy snow, so you can only look down at the snowflakes falling in bitterness. The bottom of the cliff is lined with lush trees, and the white mist is a bit mysterious.
Shen Li sat on the edge of the cliff and said apologetically to Lan Qingruo beside him: "Sister Qingruo, I hurt you." ”
He was the one who ridiculed him, and she was the one who couldn't hold back, and now even Sister Qingruo was punished to the reflection cliff with her, also because of her own concern. The head of the family obviously intends to find out the reason, but because his father doesn't like him, he won't listen to any explanation, thinking that it is their fault, and he secretly hates it in his heart when he thinks of this.
The strong man in the cultivation realm is respected, and sooner or later he will definitely stand at the peak of cultivation, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face anymore.
"When you say that, I'm even more embarrassed, it's obvious that I'm too useless, and I let you be punished for being angry for me. Lan Qingruo lowered his head and brushed the snowflakes off his collar, so as not to wet his clothes after the snow melted. Seeing that his little face was lifeless, he couldn't help but take him in his arms and pat him on the back. "Don't be unhappy, although the master doesn't believe us, but we ourselves will understand what is going on. Xiao Li protects me today, and in the future, I will follow my master and practice hard, and then I will protect Xiao Li, okay?"
Diligence can make up for clumsiness, even if her talent is not as good as others, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will not be weak, she is confident in this.
Under her comfort, Shen Li's love gradually improved. He really likes Sister Qingruo, since he was a child, he has been by his side for thousands of years, or occasionally sober, and the 'living dead' he sees is like a wood, no one has ever said to protect him, and no one will hold him in his arms when he is in danger. This feeling is so warm that people are reluctant to let go. "Well, Dad is very powerful, even if the spiritual root of the person he teaches is destroyed, he can cultivate-" There was a little smug in his eyes, but in his mind, he thought of Yihua Fangcai's words and was instantly silenced, and slowly withdrew from her embrace, his breath was even more sluggish than Fang Cai.
"What's wrong?" Lan Qingruo brushed the snowflakes off his forehead and coaxed them gently. "What else can be cultivated?"
Why did you suddenly stop talking?
In fact, after two days of contact, she could see Xiao Li's fear of Shizun and the unconsciously expressed admiration from the depths of her heart, although the latter feelings were hidden by him in a cold atmosphere.
Shen Li's eyebrows twitched, and he opened his lips lightly and closed them again, not knowing how to speak next. After being silent for a while, he still looked up at her and admonished seriously, "Sister Qingruo, you have to be careful of him." ”
"Be careful, Master?" Lan Qingruo's puzzled eyebrows frowned slightly, what did Xiao Li mean by this?
Shen Li nodded firmly, his eyes were slightly dark, and his tone was cold. "He has no humanity. ”
If Lan Qing heard this, he somehow brought some anger and raised his voice in displeasure. "Xiao Li, he's your father. ”
"He's not!" he's not...... Shen Li immediately shouted, his immature tone was full of grievances mixed with despair. After a long time, I heard his muffled voice, "Sister Qingruo, will you dislike me?" If what Fang Cai Yihua said is true, I am not his son but a wild ......."
Lan Qingruo took a cold breath, she remembered what Yihua said sarcastically about Xiao Li in Wugu Hall, at that time, Xiao Li's face changed, she knew that this matter was not simple, but she didn't want to ask more, but his appearance made her heart suddenly hurt, "Xiao Li, don't be shaken by the words of others, she just said nonsense to make you angry." ”
But what she said was true. Shen Li pursed his lips and raised his head pretending to be strong, holding back the tears that were about to roll out of his eyes. If he could choose, of course, he would also like to tell all those who doubted it in a dignified manner, he was the son of Shen Yuan of the Shen family in Huaishan.
But in the face of such an indifferent father, in the face of a father who could not get half of pity no matter how much he prayed, and in the face of the facts that everyone knew, it was as if he had poured cold water on his delusional self, and it was cold to the bone. "The Shen family master's ruthless entry into the Dao is a great cultivation, which is a well-known thing in the cultivation world. ”
Lan Qing didn't know anything about the cultivation realm, she had heard a lot about ruthless entry, but she didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, Shen Li also knew that she didn't know these things, so he took a break and slowly explained to her: "Cultivating immortals is divided into Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Shenshen and Mahayana. This is the most basic cognition, seeing that Lan Qingruo understood and continued to say: "When Jindan enters the later stage, the monk will have to hear the way of heaven and choose the door to enter the path to practice. At this time, you can choose to be ruthless and affectionate, and most of the monks in Kyushu will choose the ruthless path, not only because it is consistent with many immortal cultivation methods, but more importantly, the four people who have successfully crossed the heavenly tribulation for thousands of years are all ruthless into the Tao. ”
At this point, she finally understood that although there were two paths, only one was verified, and the other was not successful, and it was still in the theoretical stage. What the monks are thinking about is to become immortals and gain the way, so naturally they will not let go of the right path, and go to the side door first to explore on their own.
"The more ruthless the Daoist, the deeper the cultivation, the less mortal feelings there are. That's why Shen Li said that his father has no humanity. Shen Yuan is not only ruthless in entering the Dao, he has been a leader among monks since the beginning of his cultivation, although he doesn't know how far he has reached now, but he also knows that it is definitely not the elders of Kunlun who can look up to him.
It is said that Shizun has been about to turn into a god since Kunlun came out of the mountain, and since he is ruthless and cultivated, he will naturally not have a wife and children. Therefore, the immortal cultivation world has a lot of speculation about Shen Li's life experience, and even he himself does not believe in his identity.
"What if the ruthless person has a son?" Looking at Xiao Li's miniature appearance and unique amber pupils, Lan Qingruo still didn't believe that his life experience would be fake.
Shen Li stared at it and said with a mocking smile: "Cultivation is completely ruined, and life is better than death." Sister Qingruo still remembers the people in Fengxian Town who committed suicide due to the loss of cultivation. ”
Those who have cultivated to the strongest level are only in the middle of Qi cultivation, and they will also be unwilling to fall into the dust because they have lost their purpose in life, and they will become fools in the mouth of monks and give up their lifespan.
Lan Qingruo also remembered that the appearance of those monks who lost their cultivation in Fengxian Town that day was still vivid, and he didn't dare to forget it. Cultivation is extremely difficult, and it requires not only talent but also chance. Senior Brother Zhaochen once said that the level of cultivation can be described as a difference of thousands of miles, and some people are difficult to build a foundation even if they cultivate for a lifetime, let alone talk about knotting Dan. If the master is really ruthless and enters the Tao, it is indeed impossible to have an heir. Otherwise, the self-transformation god period will once fall into a mortal, and this kind of gap is very bearable by people.
But if this is the case, how to explain Xiao Li's matter? Even if she knows that the chances are very small, she just doesn't believe that Shen Li will not be the son of Shizun, and there must be something they don't understand.
