Chapter 12: Mother
There is a fallen wood cliff in the back mountain of Meng's house, it is the place where the Meng family people cultivate, the mountain cliff is steep, the cliff wall is like a knife split, straight up and down, on the bare cliff wall, not an inch of grass grows, three or four zhang away from the ground, there are several caves dug out.
Although Changxing has the cultivation of the first level of qi, he is actually physically stronger than mortals. The most basic Five Elements Spell can only be learned at the second level of Qi training, so with such a high mountain cliff, Changxing naturally can't fly up with spells.
Changxing looked at the surrounding situation, selected a tall giant catalpa tree, swished and climbed up, standing on the canopy, Changxing was already level with the cave, she held the trunk in one hand, took out a few lower stones from the purse on her waist with the other hand, and threw them to the cave, lost a few in a row, and never hit, Changxing adjusted the angle slightly, and threw out a stone with a whoosh, and the stone flew to the cave, three feet away from the cave, the air twisted, and the small stone fell vertically to the ground.
Changxing knew that it was a defensive formation, and he was not discouraged, and continued to throw small stones, as long as the formation was touched one after another, the people in the cave would definitely come out, and sure enough, after Changxing hit it three more times, a clear figure appeared at the door of the cave.
Changxing only felt that his throat was tight, he grew to thirteen or fourteen years old, and the first time he knew the existence of his mother was five years ago, at his own insistence, the mother and daughter just met in a hurry, and there was no intersection for five years, originally thought that it was an insignificant person, but at the moment she appeared, Changxing still felt the desire and attachment gushing out of his heart, Changxing shook his head, shook off these inexplicable emotions, and waved his arm desperately to Li Chuyan, Li Chuyan's figure was obvious, only to see her right hand wave, Changxing felt a strong buoyancy, supporting his body, Changxing slowly let go of the hand holding the trunk, buoyancy increased, and one took off, Changxing has been carried by that force to the stone platform at the entrance of the cave.
Changxing experienced this stimulation, and her emotions were a little excited, coupled with her admiration for her mother, she couldn't help but change: "Mother!"
Li Chuyan's expression was faint, her beautiful face showed a little impatience, and there was even a hint of coldness in her beautiful eyes, the enthusiasm that Changxing had just ignited was instantly swallowed up by this coldness, and she had thought about it thousands of times, but she didn't know how to speak at this time.
Li Chuyan looked at Changxing stunned, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" Immediately, he said in surprise: "You have breathed into your body?"
Changxing desperately suppressed the sourness in his heart and nodded, "It's been three months since Qi was introduced into the body. Then he said, "However, since the qi was drawn into the body, the cultivation has stagnated and there has been no progress...... I...... I ......"
Changxing didn't dare to raise his head, only felt that hesitation, helplessness, and shame filled his body, as if he was in the two heavens of ice and fire.
"Come in!"
In the middle of the night, Li Chuyan's cold voice came, Changxing hurriedly looked up, but Li Chuyan had already turned around and entered the stone room. With such a cold and disgusted look, Changxing's heart was like dripping blood, and Changxing forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and slowly followed in.
Li Chuyan's fingertips rested on the Changxing Vein Gate, and a wisp of spiritual power was carefully probed, and after a while, he withdrew his fingers, thinking about something repeatedly, and Changxing looked at Li Chuyan quietly, like a drowning person looking at driftwood in the water.
Li Chuyan quietly hung her head and pondered, as if she had fallen into a memory. Changxing couldn't see her face clearly, he only felt that the atmosphere was depressing and desolate, which made people can't bear to stop, Changxing tried his best to control his body and not let himself turn his head and escape.
After a long time, Li Chuyan seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked up at Changxing, her eyes contained too much emotion, Changxing couldn't understand it, she only felt that Li Chuyan was very abnormal at this time, she subconsciously stepped back and accidentally knocked down the teacup on the side.
"Smack!" The sound of the teacup shattering, as if something had been pressed, Li Chuyan suddenly came to her senses, looked at Changxing with complicated eyes, and said after a while: "Why do you want to cultivate?"
Changxing was puzzled, but still replied, "I have a spiritual root, isn't it normal to cultivate?"
"You can also choose not to cultivate. Li Chuyan said lightly.
"Why?" Changxing was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that I have something wrong?"
"It's not. Li Chuyan shook her head, her eyes were a little dazed, and she said: "The path of cultivating immortals is long and obstructive, and there are many unknown dangers and tribulations, why do you have to go, isn't it good to be an ordinary mortal?"
"However, is the life of an ordinary mortal necessarily peaceful and joyful? What is the difference between me and ordinary mortals now? I can't be autonomous in everything, and I don't have the ability to resist, I want to cultivate, I want to become stronger, and I want to control my own destiny!" Changxing couldn't understand a little, and his speed of speech was a little fast.
Li Chuyan looked at her for a while before she said, "What if the path you insist on will eventually kill you?"
Changxing was stunned, and after a while, he said solemnly and calmly: "If you are not free, you would rather die!" Even if it is my life, I want to fight." ”
Li Chuyan sighed low and said, "Okay." As he spoke, he turned around and entered the stone chamber inside.
Changxing exhaled, it seems that my mother knows the crux of my problem, but why is it that after five years, my mother pretended not to know, and it seems that my mother is very reluctant for me to cultivate......
But in a moment, Li Chuyan walked out, maybe it was because the light was not good, Changxing felt that Li Chuyan's face was very bad, pale like a dying patient, without waiting for Changxing to speak, Li Chuyan raised his right hand, and saw a white jade box flying in front of Changxing's eyes.
Changxing looked at Li Chuyan puzzled, and Li Chuyan didn't speak and motioned for Changxing to take it.
Changxing took the jade box, hesitated, and gently opened the lid of the box, and at the bottom of the creamy box, there was a piece of jade pendant, which was only the size of a baby's fist, purple all over, and the center of the jade pendant only used simple lines to outline a pattern similar to a phoenix, which looked very simple.
After a while, I only heard Li Chuyan say: "This thing is worn close to the body, which can help you cultivate." After a pause, he continued: "The cultivation realm, the weak eat the strong, everything speaks with strength, and the difficulty is far more cruel than you imagined, since you have decided to take this path, then there is no turning back." The avenue is ruthless, in the future, if there is nothing to do, don't come over. ”
Saying that, Li Chuyan coughed slightly, did not allow Changxing to speak, flicked her sleeves, and sent her to the bottom of the cliff as she came, after Changxing landed, her eyes stared at the cave in the twilight, and her thoughts fluctuated in her heart, and after a while, she knelt down on the spot, kowtowed three times, and said: "Changxing thanks my mother for her great kindness, and I hope that my mother will succeed in cultivation and attain the Great Dao as soon as possible." ”
One last glance at the cliff that was already pitch black, Changxing turned around and walked in the direction of the Meng Mansion, his figure gradually drifting away, and after a while, it melted into the boundless twilight, and he couldn't tell it.
Li Chuyan's divine sense kept watching Changxing walk away. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at the boundless night, and sighed, this long sigh was like a thick night, revealing a lonely desolation, which made people unbearable to touch.
