Chapter 27: What is Faith?
Yan Jie, who returned to his residence, collapsed directly on the bed, panting heavily, he didn't seem to win this battle so hard, but in fact, he had done his best, knocking down Chi Yi can be said to be a little light enemy on the other side, so the battle with Chi Jia can be said to be the most difficult battle since Yan Jie came to another world, rich combat experience and keen combat instincts made Chi Jia almost forced Yan Jie into a desperate situation when his physical strength was obviously inferior to Yan Jie, but fortunately he won in the end.
"Let's take care of the wound first. Yan Jie grinned and looked at several scars on his body, but was surprised to find that many of the wounds that had been peeled had begun to heal on their own, which made Yan Jie very surprised.
"What's so strange, your body absorbs the power of life medicine, it not only transforms your meridians, but also stimulates the activity of your physical body, coupled with the top exercises like the Dragon Refining Technique, this flesh injury will not affect you at all, and it will heal on its own soon, and I don't know what you are humming there. Long Lao, who had disappeared since the beginning of the competition, suddenly said such a sentence at this time, obviously not very satisfied with Yan Jie's performance.
"I'll go, Long Lao, why didn't you say it earlier, I was still worried about dying, thinking that I was going to hang up if I bleed a little more, I was fighting with my life there, you are good to be old, watch the whole play, so you can guide me." Yan Jie began to complain to Long Lao as he muttered, thinking that if this Creation Realm boss could give him some guidance in the battle, maybe he would have won a long time ago.
"As I said, I won't have anything to help you with an enemy of this level, not even a few words of advice, you have to learn to face every difficulty on your own path so that you can grow strong enough. Long Lao's words were very blunt, but Yan Jie could feel the care and expectation for himself between the words.
"Long Lao, I know, I also have my pursuits, and I won't relax. Yan Jie assured Long Lao.
"That's good, now you can quickly summarize the battle just now, and remember it from the beginning to the end. Long Lao was very relieved to hear Yan Jie's words, but he still urged Yan Jie to start summarizing the battle just now.
"Every move must be recalled, and then to think about whether there is a better way to deal with it, only by summarizing the experience of the battle again and again, can you find your own shortcomings, and then make up for it, this is a necessary process on the road of the strong, so every actual combat is actually a process of growth, you must take it seriously. Long Lao continued to add.
"Okay, Elder Long. Yan Jie has always treated this Genesis Realm boss who is staying on his own altar as a teacher, so every word of advice Yan Jie has kept in his heart, and he knows that Long Lao is all for his own good.
Yan Jie sat cross-legged and began to review the details of the battle just now, every time he shot and every time he dodged, Yan Jie repeated the simulation hundreds of times in his mind, until he found the optimal solution at that time, and time passed slowly.
Yan Jie finally opened his eyes, stood up, accompanied by the continuous clicking sound of the bones all over his body, Yan Jie looked up to the sky and roared, the comfort he had never experienced filled his body, the vigorous blood qi was visible to the naked eye, hundreds of battles in his mind were reviewed, and Yan Jie's strength was refined again, Yan Jie felt that he had touched the threshold of an intermediate martial artist.
"Elder Long, thank you, if it weren't for your on-demand, I wouldn't have gained so much from this battle. Yan Jie respectfully saluted out of thin air, which was a thank you for Long Lao's preaching and solving doubts.
It has been three days since Yan Jie defeated Chijia and Chiyi, on this day, Yan Jie was visiting the bald father at Talisha's residence, and after the bald father and Kaza were secretly rescued by Long Lao, the bald father and Kaza soon woke up, and the injuries were slowly recovering, according to Long Lao's meaning, both of them can recover as before, and their respective strengths will improve after this catastrophe, which also makes Yan Jie very happy.
"Ayir, the priest called you over, as if the two men of the Chishui tribe had woken up. The curtain was lifted, and a young man from the tribe spoke.
"Talisa, I'll go to Grandpa Priest's first, and I'll come over to see Uncle Patriarch later. Yan Jie said hello to Talisha and went out to the old priest's residence.
Walking into the old priest's residence, two men with gauze wrapped around their upper bodies were lying down and sitting on the bed talking to the old priest, seeing Yan Jie approaching, one of them stood up with difficulty and saluted Yan Jie.
"Warrior, thank you for saving my brother and me's lives. The two are the two brothers Chijia and Chi Yi who were defeated by Yan Jie that day, Chi Yi's injuries are not serious, and he can still stand at this time to talk to Yan Jie, Chi Jia was broken several ribs in the final battle with Yan Jie, although Yan Jie avoided the heart and other vital points, but at this time Chi Jia could only lie on the bed to recuperate.
"There is no need for this, who will make such a choice at that time, but where do you plan to go later? According to Chi Wu's temperament, he will definitely not let you go, and you will definitely not be able to go back to the Chishui tribe. Yan Jie moved a chair and sat in front of the bed, and said to Chijia and Chiyi.
"My brother and I are going to leave the Black Flag tribe when the injury is better, we know this person very well, he will never allow our brothers to threaten his reputation, for so many years, although he was forced to instigate, but we did help the abuse for a long time, and did too many hurtful things, this time Shaoxia, you completely woke up our two brothers, we are ready to use the second half of our lives to atone for our sins, we will travel in the wilderness, and we will help when we encounter injustices, hoping to help some people to make up for their sinsγ Chi Jia, who was lying on the bed, slowly told Yan Jie what the two brothers planned for the future.
"Yes, for the first half of our lives, we have always regarded the Chishui tribe as our belief in survival, thinking that as long as we maintain the glory of the Chishui tribe, we can do anything, even if it is to protect a scum like Chiwu Wuwu, and now we know that everything is wrong. Chi Yi also agreed with his brother's statement very much, and nodded in agreement.
"In fact, you have been entering a misunderstanding, what is faith, one is the belief in heaven and earth, and the other is the belief of ancestors. All things are from heaven, people are from ancestors, and heaven and earth and ancestors are the foundation of human beings and all things. We cultivators gain strength through our own efforts, this is a gift from heaven and earth to us, it is a reward for our efforts, we should be grateful and reverent, so this heaven and this earth is our faith, our ancestors gave us body and blood, so that we can multiply, so that the race can grow and develop, this is the precious wealth that our ancestors gave us with their lives, so our ancestors are also our faith. I heard the priest grandfather tell your story, this Chishui tribe is indeed kind to you, but it is only kindness, over the years you have been more used, you have contributed to their expansion of territory, this kindness has long been paid off, but you take them as your own belief is into the misunderstanding, so you finally become a tool and pawn for the evil of the naked and worry-free. I have saved your lives this time, so will you have to believe in me for the rest of your lives? What exactly should your faith be? I am afraid that you will have to understand this question in the atonement of the second half of your life. Yan Jie looked at the two people in front of him, feeling the ups and downs of the first half of their lives, and said his inner thoughts in one breath.
After a few minutes of silence, Chi Jia and Chi Yi clasped their fists at the same time, gave Yan Jie another big salute, and said, "After being taught, we will embark on the road of atonement with this question, and if one day we can understand, we will come again to express our gratitude to Shaoxia." β
Ten days later, Chi Jia and Chi Yi left the Black Flag Tribe, without alarming anyone, that night only Yan Jie stood on the roof of his residence, watching the two of them leave with two long knives on their backs, and the two of them took off their red robes and picked up their two again, maybe there will really be a time later.
