Chapter XVII
Su Lingyun lowered his head and said slowly: "I haven't seen my father, Grandpa Su pulled me up, I think that when I grow up, I will go to the Divine Sword Sect to be a handyman, or go down the mountain to be a peddler and pawn to sell animal skins, I can always earn some money, I don't expect any wealth, as long as I can repair my family's small thatched house, add some belongings, and let Grandpa Su live in peace and clothing, I will be very happy." It's just that Grandpa Su doesn't want me to live a dull life like him, Grandpa Su said at the time, "Little Lingyun, go and be a monk, just like those little cubs of the Divine Sword Sect, find a way to keep going, even if you can't reach the end, don't be afraid, no matter how bad the scenery on the road is, it's much better than standing in place." Grandpa, I have been showing people mountains all my life, the mountains when I open my eyes, the mountains when I close my eyes, and there is also a mountain in my heart! This mountain is called unwilling, I am unwilling to die in this life, grandpa is old, can't walk, so ah little Lingyun, go to be a monk, go farther, go to Kyoto in the snow goose country to see, there are ten miles of long streets full of peony flowers, there are strange people walking through the streets and alleys, there is a different world, outside you can find a girl you like, hold her hand to live a good life, give birth to a big fat boy, grandpa can be happy underground. ’’”
Unconsciously, Su Lingyun's eyes were already red.
"Later, Grandpa Su went to the Divine Sword Sect and wanted me to enter the sect to practice, but my meridians were blocked and my qualifications were not enough, so I was not qualified to be a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. Grandpa Su gave up his face and asked an elder who knew him for the simplest exercise mantra. I use this pad table corners are too thin exercises to practice, I know that the talent is not high, so I try to boil the body, with the progress of the physique to make up for the lack of talent, pick up the exercise in the past five years, I run dozens of miles every day, every day under the waterfall to insist on half an hour, if there is nothing to do, I have to go to the mountains, hunt a few monsters of equal strength to subsidize the family. Despite this, I still can't catch up with those monks in the sect, people open seven veins and nine veins in five years, and I only open two veins in five years. I went down the mountain to sell animal skins, and when I met the monks in the sect, all of them were arrogant, laughing at me for being a useless waste, and even thinking about entering the Divine Sword Sect? None of them are looking at me, I don't want to listen to this, go down the mountain to bypass the sect, walk an extra forty miles from the back mountain to the market, even so, there is still some garbage that came to the back mountain to find me, just to scold me a word of waste, what is even more excessive is to scold Grandpa Su in a weird way, Grandpa Su ignored it, and told me not to care about these rumors, just do your best. I'm useless myself, and I let Grandpa Su suffer because of me, I'm sorry Grandpa Su......"
Suddenly, Su Lingyun was furious, crying and roaring: "I've had enough of these days, I've had enough! I'm afraid of those disgusting people's words, I'm afraid of it, I'm afraid that one day I'll be able to endure it and go crazy." Now I didn't die when I fell, and some people told me that I was not a waste or an idiot, but a genius, a genius that I had not met in a thousand years, how did you tell me to give up the third vein that I had already achieved? I want to go out, go out and tell those bastards that Lao Tzu did not do what you wanted, Lao Tzu did not die, and not only that, Lao Tzu also broke through a realm! I want to trample them under their feet one by one, and let them know that I am better than all of them!"
Tears wet Su Lingyun's face, his chest rose and fell, and he gasped heavily.
Thousands of days and nights of accumulated resentment were vomited out at one time.
Duan Ruofeng pursed his lips, hesitating whether to say those cruel words, but in the end he still chose to speak out ruthlessly.
Now uncovering the scar on his heart allows him to face his true heart, better than after the realm is raised layer by layer in the future, this wound left by his youth will become a dangerous demon haunting his heart, destroying the Dao heart!
"In the world of life, some people are bright and upright, and some people are black-hearted and smelly, and their faces are hateful, and they raise a hundred kinds of people for the same rice. Some roads are wide and flat, bright ahead, and fragrant with birds, while others are muddy, dark, rugged and twisted. You can't hide from the hardships you should endure, you can't avoid the sins you should suffer once, you can't practice the way, you don't know how to change, you deserve your realm to stagnate and be insulted by others. You are born lonely, and the netherworld physique is destined by God, and you deserve to be helpless and alone. You are silent, depressed, and deserve to endure until your mind is numb and physically and mentally exhausted!"
Duan Ruofeng's rebuke was like a drum in his ears, Su Lingyun trembled all over his body, and said to himself: "I deserve it, I deserve it, I deserve it......"
Duan Ruofeng's eyes were firm, and he continued: "You feel sorry for yourself, you are like a resentful woman, and you have a cowardly and inferior personality in your bones, so you don't want to let go of the meager achievements you have gained, and would rather destroy them than hold on to the small profits in front of you! Why, do you think that a Xuanmai Realm double is a waste, and a Xuanmai Realm triple is not a waste? When you open the third vein, you can raise your eyebrows and laugh loudly? Do you really think that you are a genius who is bound to become a great weapon? I have traveled to the mainland for decades, and I have seen countless sons of Tianjiao who are high-spirited, ambitious, and scheming countless times stronger than you, but it is not that he will die if he dies, today he trampled people under his feet, cut them under the sword, and the next day he asked people to take off their heads and smash their souls to not be able to live beyond life, is this considered retribution? Even I am like this, I ended up with a tragic end where my body collapsed and my soul survived, and it is better to say that I am not afraid of no firewood, and if it is ugly, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am a cowardly person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Su Lingyun's face was pale, his body was haggard, he cried loudly: "Then what should I do to be satisfied with you, what should I do to meet your wishes, I have thought of everything I can think of, I have done everything I can do, why am I still unqualified in your eyes, I am still a waste? I don't want to give up the Xuanmai Realm Triple I have obtained, because I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I don't want to wait for a moment! You are you and I are me, why do you think that the right is correct, and if I have a flaw, I will be a failure?"
Duan Ruofeng pressed his hand on Su Lingyun's head to help calm his almost riotous mood, and waited until Su Lingyun's breath was calm and his breathing was even, before he spoke: "You and I are both netherworld physiques, I walked in front of you, and saw the potholes and swamp traps on the road, a small loss is simply a taboo for the foundation of cultivation, and the "Connecting the River and the Moon" you practiced is even more taboo about this, you must know that all the ups and downs of the mountain roots turbulent water mansion are because the early steps were not stepped on and solid, and the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill!" In this way, how to build a high-rise building with the moon, the pavilion in the air looks gorgeous and dazzling, but in fact, it will be broken at the touch of a button, and it will not be able to withstand the invasion of wind and rain!"
Su Lingyun turned his head sideways, avoiding Duan Ruofeng's fierce eyes.
In the end, Su Lingyun wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, took a step back, clasped his hands into fists and arched high, bent over and said, "Su Lingyun knows his mistake, ask my senior brother to help me!"
"Convincing or oral?" Duan Ruofeng asked.
Su Lingyun choked up and said, "Convincing!"
