Chapter 207: Ideals and Abandonment

"Brother Feng, how much truth do you say that kid said?"

Falling from the sky, the Sword of Benevolence directly opened its mouth to ask Feng Yinqiu. Although according to Adler's previous words, Phil, a druid, has an almost unbelievable level of perception of sound, but it is one thing to hear it, and it is another thing to be able to understand it, and they now speak Shenzhou dialect, so they have no scruples.

Feng Yinqiu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." Except for the Daozun Buddha, who dares to say that he can fully understand the mysteries of it? Those in the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou who use the technique of the Great Yan Dunjia to deduce the heavenly machine can only see it clearly when they stay out of the matter, and the number of days of deduction can only be circulated in various metaphors without daring to say it explicitly, because once you are in it, everything you think, think, say and do will be affected by the heavenly machine, and you will not understand it, and you will be counterattacked if you try to interfere with the operation of the days with the art of pre-knowledge. Didn't Phil also say that his own inheritance is not enough, and he is still trapped in it, and what he sees may not be accurate. However, he should not be alarmist or come to fool us, there should indeed be some danger lurking on the side, but we are not aware of it. ”

"Hmph, I think most of them are those who have been playing tricks in the Arcane Academy during this time, didn't the chairman say that these rats who are acting in the dark are actually very powerful, maybe they will be caught by us and beaten with a sore foot, and they will take out some super scrolls left over from the empire to end up with this continent. Although what he said seemed to be very serious, the tone of the Sword of Benevolence was still dismissive.

"What does the invincible brother think?

"What do you want to do so much? Could it be that that kid's nonsense is going to make us tremble and stop us from moving forward? Not to mention that you know that kid is only half a bucket of water. The Sword of Benevolence glared at him and replied as a matter of course. As long as you stick to your heart and follow your own path, it doesn't matter if the heavens and the earth collapse or the planet explodes, what should you do or what you should do? ”

"Hehe, what the invincible brother said is also true, it's useless to think about this kind of thing too much......." Feng Yinqiu smiled and nodded, and was suddenly slightly stunned. "By the way, where is Daochang Liu?"

"Yes, I thought something was wrong, it seemed like someone was missing. The sword of benevolence slapped the door of the head. "Why didn't Lao Liu see him come out?"

Because of the commotion caused by the arrival of the floating car, it was a bit too strange that the layer of barriers that Phil had cast to isolate before didn't even alarm Liu Xuanying. The extraordinary features of that barrier, Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence, could be felt very clearly, and the breath of the four people was suddenly completely cut off, which could not be concealed by Liu Xuanying's perception of the unity of heaven and man.

"Could it be that Daoist Liu quietly went out of the camp?" "This possibility is also extremely small, with Liu Xuanying's temperament, even if he really has something to go out, he should say hello to Feng Yinqiu."

Fortunately, when the two of them walked quickly towards Liu Xuanying's tent, they happened to see Liu Xuanying walking out of it, and the big-faced young man Angelo was following him.

"Daochang Liu, what's wrong with you, are you okay?, we thought you went out quietly......" Feng Yinqiu couldn't help but ask. He could see that Liu Xuanying's face was slightly pale, and there was a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed in his expression, which was almost inconceivable for a Dao Sect master like him.

"It's fine. Liu Xuanying replied lightly. Although he looked tired, he was still as steady, and it seemed that he was really fine. "I noticed that there were outsiders casting spells before, but just when the luck reached a critical juncture, I didn't have to worry too much about the two of you here. ”

"Hey, what's the matter with this kid?" The Sword of Benevolence noticed Angelo following behind, and the big-faced young man looked solemn at the moment, as if he was about to carry out an extremely important mission, but the Sword of Benevolence did not pay attention to this, but the aura on his body was actually very different from before.

Liu Xuanying replied: "Poor Dao has already used Xuantian Yuan Qi to help him dredge and sort out the muscles and bones meridians, and open up the second vein of Ren Du. Although it is a bit of a suspicion of helping the seedlings, it is also the fastest way to help him increase his skills. ”

"What?" both Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence couldn't help but lose their color.

Breaking through the two veins of Ren Du is a very crucial foundation in the cultivation of Shenzhou, and only then can the Qi and Blood Essence Yuan be able to circulate back and forth to form the Great Zhou Tian, and it can really be said that it is on the way to cultivation to begin to enter the hall. Generally speaking, to get to this point, it would take at least ten years of hard work for a disciple of a great sect with extraordinary qualifications.

It is not impossible to directly borrow the external force of others to break this pass, after all, this is only a relatively important basic joint in cultivation, and it is far from the bridge that penetrates heaven and earth to reflect the innate kind of leaping into the dragon gate from now on, but this requires cultivation above the innate level, and it is quite dangerous. The disciples of the great sects that pay attention to the foundation and the character of the mind will never adopt this kind of quick method, and those sects with a shallow inheritance want to use this method on their disciples, and the slightest luck in the internal force will injure the internal organs and meridians, and if the promotion is not successful, it will cause irreparable serious injuries.

From this point of view, Liu Xuanying is definitely the best person to open up the second pulse of Ren Du, the Xuantian Yuan Qi he cultivates is the most authentic and profound Dao Gate Exercise, if you talk about the control of the internal force and breath, no one can compare with him who is the unity of heaven and man, but Liu Xuanying actually spent effort to open up the second pulse of Ren Du for Angelo, a young man from Ouluo, which really surprised Feng Yinqiu and the two. Especially looking at Liu Xuanying's tired face, he didn't come out to take a look when he felt something was wrong before, and he knew that he didn't know how much effort he spent in it.

The Sword of Benevolence first stepped forward and patted Angelo on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you are lucky, you can be taken care of by Daochang Liu so much, even if it is Daochang Liu, no one in Daochang Liu's sect can enjoy such an honor." ”

Angelo's face was solemn and solemn, like a believer who had received the Apocalypse, and said word by word in Shenzhou dialect with a strange accent: "Yes, I am very grateful to Mr. Liu for his help to me, and I will definitely devote all my spirit and strength to seek my justice and never disappoint Mr. Liu's expectations for me?"

"Daochang Liu, you ...... Is it considered an apprentice?" asked Feng Yinqiu.

"Of course not. Without the permission of the teacher, how can Poor Dao accept apprentices without authorization? Poor Dao just saw that Angelo, a young man, had a pure temperament and admired the righteous path, which helped him, and the martial arts I taught him were not from my True Martial Sect, but some other martial arts that Poor Dao found in the rivers and lakes. Liu Xuanying shook his head. Although he looked tired, he was also a little satisfied. "Angelo's talent is actually good, what is rare is that he is open-minded and studious, and he has perseverance, but he started too late and has no foundation, but he can also achieve something if he polishes it well. ”

"I can't see it, you big-faced boy still has this kind of creation, are you going to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, don't learn those arcane arts, and learn our Shenzhou kung fu instead?" asked the Sword of Benevolence with a smile.

Angelo shook his head: "Of course not, I will still study the arcane by heart." Mr. Liu said that this transformation will make my mind smarter and more agile, and even learning arcane arts will make great progress. ”

"That's good. I hope you will study hard, work hard, and strive to catch up with me by a tenth of mine one day. Hahahaha......" The Sword of Benevolence nodded repeatedly. After penetrating the second vein of Ren Du, the essence and blood are unimpeded, the mind is indeed much easier to use than the original, and the spirit will become stronger and stronger, which is also of great help for learning arcane. In fact, arcanists also use alchemy potions or arcane arts to increase brain vitality to achieve similar effects, but compared to Liu Xuanying's once and for all, physiologically speaking, there are no side effects.

"Is that flying mechanism over there the car of the person who came just now? It seems that his identity is extremely extraordinary, he should be a prominent person in a wealthy family, but it seems that the poor path is not an arcane art, but a heaven and earth divine path similar to the Five Elements Sect, and his cultivation is extremely deep. Liu Xuanying looked at the floating car that looked like a villa in the distance, Phil had already returned inside, the floating car was slowly rising, but Liu Xuanying could still feel his breath. "Who is that, and what are you here for?"

The Sword of Benevolence said disapprovingly: "Oh, the boy I knew before, relying on a little adventure, was self-righteous, and he was ashamed to remind us that the number of days has changed, so let's be cautious. And there are those who have come to collect debts from the dough mage of Incre, but it's none of our business. ”

β€œ..... However, if he really came to embarrass the mage of Incre, Poor Dao felt that the two of them might as well say a few kind words to ease up, after all, now that Inclere has recognized that our envoys are the guests they have invited, and they are negotiating how to hold a welcome ceremony in the imperial capital, it can be regarded as our half ally......" Speaking of this, Liu Xuanying couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Since I came to this European land, I don't think it's been half a year, it's not easy to go all the way here, the hardships are not enough for outsiders, and I am very happy to see the hope of success, and I am very happy to be poor......

Feng Yinqiu nodded: "Well, that's right. As long as the affairs of Inclave's side can be handled properly, the mission of this mission can be considered completed......"

The Sword of Benevolence suddenly asked, "What are the plans of Brother Feng after the matter here is over?" Slowly dig around and search, forcibly take it, and slowly get dozens of nine rings, ten rings, and eleven rings of arcane scrolls, and wipe out all this kind of arcane civilization?"

Feng Yinqiu smiled and didn't speak. The Sword of Benevolence immediately added: "It just so happens that my side is going to go all out to catch all those guys who are hiding in the dark and engaging in conspiracy and tricks, and when the time comes, the two of us will join forces, the arcane will belong to you, and the head will belong to me, how about it?

Liu Xuanying shook his head: "Hehe, poor Dao, but I want to think about how to go back to Shenzhou, there is still something that must be done over there......."

"Hey, the three of you are really at ease, are you already discussing where you are going to go for a trip next? A lazy female voice sounded in the back, but it was Mu Qinyi who walked over. Although she has been cultivating, the injuries on her soul are extremely difficult to heal, and her expression still doesn't look very good, but she can barely move freely.

Feng Yinqiu turned to her and smiled: "Miss Mu doesn't need to complain. We've put you in touch with the Arcane Academy, and they should have a cure for you. ”

"Oh, really?" Mu Qinyi raised his eyelids, still looking lazy and unable to lift his spirits. "Didn't their arcane art always deal with Shinto?"

"It should be no problem. It was the most prosperous place in the land of Europe, and even Daoist Liu's injuries were healed. The director of the Arcane Academy is asking us for help, and he will not shirk such a trivial matter. ”

"Well, it would be nice if it could really be like that......" Mu Qinyi pointed to the floating car that was taking off into the air. "By the way, who is that?"

"A gentleman I knew before, came over to talk to us. The Sword of Benevolence replied casually, obviously not wanting to say much about the conversation. "Ah, by the way, he is also a druid of the Wind Elemental Shinto, Miss Mu is interested in exchanging it?It's just that the little white face is famous for his handsome appearance, and women from fourteen to eighty-four can't help but look at him, you have to be very careful. ”

"Who said that?" Mu Qinyi glanced at the sky. "I seemed to have seen someone I knew in his car, but before I could see the person clearly, he left......"

"Who does Miss Mu know?" Feng Yinqiu couldn't help but wonder, after coming to this exotic continent, almost all the people Mu Qinyi knew were in this envoy group.

"It seems to be ......." Mu Qinyi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head. "Forget it, maybe I'm wrong. ”

In the floating car that left at this moment, a man and a woman who had just met the old man fell into silence, both immersed in their own thoughts. After a while, it was Phil who spoke first: "Looks like you have something on your mind, Miss Stephanie." Can you tell me about it?"

"Would you like to share your thoughts with me, then? Mr. Phil. Stephanie responded.

"I'm sorry, because this is a matter of life and death and privacy. And as a druid, I might find it hard for you to understand the way I look at things. Phil smiled.

Stephanie shrugged: "Then I can only be sorry, my worries are also about other people's lives and deaths and privacy." And as an arcane revivalist of the Arcanist Revival Society, I don't think the same way as everyone else. ”

"Is that the Westerner lady you just saw?" Phil didn't intend to let her go, and continued to ask with a smile. "Is her life in danger? As far as I've observed, she's also an elemental druid, but she believes in the god of the water element, as if something went wrong while praying to the gods, and her soul was damaged, but her life should not be in danger. You seem to be actively avoiding her, not like letting her see you? Have you ever had any entanglement with her?"

"You're a bit rude, Mr. Phil,......." Stephanie raised her eyebrows, slightly displeased. Phil smiled, didn't speak, turned his head to look out the window, after leaving the legations, they had already entered Oroyosta, and it would not be long before they reached the Fernandez's residence in the imperial capital.

β€œ... There's one thing I'd like to ask you about, maybe your perspective as a druid can give me some reference...", Stephanie said suddenly.

"Say, I'm here to help. ”

"Do you think it is noble to abandon all other feelings and interests for the sake of a noble goal and ideal?"

"Of course not. Phil didn't think about it, and gave the answer very simply. "It's very naΓ―ve and stupid. ”

"Why?" said Stephanie. "How can you say that as a clergyman? Isn't this what every clergyman does? Especially your druids who believe in the four elemental gods, isn't that what you have been doing all your life? ”

"Looks like you've misunderstood. Phil replied lightly. "We just feel the essence of our life step by step, realize the greatness of the elemental god, and then consciously and slowly give up some false and boring feelings, and finally devote ourselves to the elemental realm to become one with the essence of this world. It's not about pursuing some great and lofty goal in the first place. ”

"Isn't that any difference?" the mage wondered.

"Of course it's different. We follow our own lives, follow the world's call to us, and no matter where we go, it will develop naturally, just as a seed naturally grows into a tree. But what you are talking about forcibly giving up everything else for the sake of a goal and an ideal is like specifying how a seed grows into a designated tree, and you don't even know what seed it is, which is extremely stupid and a distortion of life. ”

"It's definitely the most efficient way to do it. Just like a farmer who wants to make the seedlings grow well, he must pull out other weeds that absorb nutrients and apply fertilizer regularly to control insects. ”

"That's the way of farming, not the way of life. Life cannot be cultivated, can you see through all the trajectories of your own life? You don't even know what kind of sprouts your own seed will sprout. ”

"Then there should be at least a goal and a direction......

"Our goal and direction should come from our own perception of life itself, not from a virtual ideal. When you imagine a lofty ideal, you are actually projecting the desires and anxieties in your heart into this imagination, imagining that this ideal can solve all your sufferings and make your life perfect and meaningful. This is like the lowly villager fantasizing that he has the power to become a nobleman, and the small nobleman dreams of becoming a big nobleman, and the root of this so-called ideal is only inferiority. ”

"Isn't that the constant desire for progress and strength the meaning of life? Like those animals, we should only know how to approximate, mate, and die?

"Life itself is meaning. Phil said something that seemed a little out of the way. "You're right, all kinds of pursuits and ideals come from our realization. But you must know that life is constantly growing, and the ultimate destination of our elemental druids is to invest in the elemental realm, and to merge perfectly with the world. But we do not give up all kinds of attachments to this world, which is also an inseparable part of our lives, and we all have to temper our lives in these attachments, attachments, anger, hatred, and finally see through all this vanity. If you give up other feelings and interests just because of one ideal and goal of life, then you are giving up your own life and putting all the meaning into a stage of imagination, so it seems very naΓ―ve and stupid to us. ”

"Alright, Lord Phil, that's it. Stephanie had to raise her hand in surrender. "Although I don't agree with what you said, after all, the path of the druids is too far away from us normal people, but I thank you for explaining and arguing with me so much. ”

Phil smiled faintly, "You're welcome, I like to discuss and argue with the Arcanists, which always reminds me of feelings that should have been forgotten a long time ago." ”

These words made Stephanie stunned, and a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu suddenly began to spread. She had discussed this with a druid before, who was also a druid who believed in the air element, and seemed to be also called Phil...... It's just that the young man in front of her, who is as noble and handsome as the son of a god, is too different from that lowly orc, and she doesn't think about any connection between the two at all.......

And even now, she could only think that it should be something in common between the druids, and the name was purely a coincidence, which is why she had this inexplicable sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu....... As an arcane master's logical thinking, he can only think of this.

"By the way, please forgive me for continuing to be rude. Phil suddenly remembered something. "It seems that you and the Western lady knew each other before, but what you are talking about giving up for a noble goal is your friendship with her, and her life?"

"Since it's a faux pas, allow me to remain silent in faux pity. Stephanie replied with only one sentence and said no more.

The body shook slightly, this is the station of the FernΓ‘ndez family.
