Chapter 55: The Way of My Life
() Vague consciousness gradually becomes clear
Slowly opening his tired eyelids, he saw the familiar and kind face
Division...... Craftsman...... The weakened Owen snorted and fainted again
Is it over?
Finally, I felt the coldness of the waterfall rushing over my body
The demonic nature has been successfully suppressed, and although the body is still surging, the craziest momentum has been completely curbed, and when the last excess energy is vented, then it will return to normal - at least for the time being
For the first time, without the help of a master and a treasure, Owen was able to suppress the demon's blood pressure on his own with his own strength, and Owen felt a little excited
Owen didn't want to give Demon Blood a fourth chance to wake up completely, though he didn't know how far he could go
He couldn't close the floodgates of memory—not just memories, but an indelible imprint engraved in the depths of his soul—an imprint that Owen was not just his own, but shared by hundreds of thousands of souls
Owen sat next to a date palm tree on the grass in front of the entrance of the cave, not eating, drinking, sleeping, or talking, let alone meditating and practicing boxing, and stared at the dark entrance of the cave all day long
Seven days is not enough, the old man in the green robe came behind him, he looked like he had been old for twenty years, his original half-white beard had turned completely white, and there were more wrinkles on his face than before
As in the previous six days, he answered him in the same silent background, and the food that had been spoiled for a long time beside Owen had not been touched at all, and the master took the food away and replaced it with a new batch, and at the same time, he glanced at the young man's face that was haggard and hungry from exhaustion and hunger, but stubborn to the point of incredulity, and the old man hated that iron could not be made of steel: when are you going to give up on yourself, look at how you look, and you will soon become a waste
silent
I thought that you had been practicing for so long, and you would have been able to enter the realm of 'unity between heaven and man', and you should be able to think thoroughly about the world and transcend the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, but I didn't expect that more than two years of perseverance would finally be ruined by one thought
Owen still didn't say a word, and the old man shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave
You're right, master, I was standing still from the beginning, unable to meet your expectations, and I was originally a disciple who was not angry
The old man had just walked away a few meters, and suddenly Owen's voice came from behind him, speaking for the first time in seven days, making his voice sound a little hoarse, and the master craftsman immediately turned around, although he was very dissatisfied with Owen's frustrated words, but in fact, the master craftsman was also happy in his heart, and being willing to speak was a good start
You boy, alas—I know you're still blaming your teacher for 'that'...... Well, I apologize to you for the teacher
How can you be, you are my mentor, and the master did 'that' to save me, and I will never and have no reason to blame my mentor
Here I need to explain what the incident in the conversation between the two is
The elixir is the gift of the Holy Spirit, on the surface it is a light blue transparent crystal, nothing special, in fact, this crystal contains hundreds of thousands of human souls - it is not accurate to say that those souls have long been self-conscious, there are no human feelings and obsessions, and the energy in these souls has been refined and fused together - for example, it is like throwing countless swords into a huge furnace and melting into hot molten iron;
As an energy crystallization made from the soul and the gift of the Holy Spirit has a special ability: all magic and medicine are incomparable to the healing power, as long as there is no complete death, the gift of the Holy Spirit can heal any wound, including the soul, and even regenerate the lost limbs;
However, the role of the gift of the Holy Spirit is far more than just healing, when the master and his wife took back this half of the gift of the Holy Spirit from the hands of Buyos, and when they fled into this valley Jedi, the two were seriously injured, and the master was seriously injured and unconscious, and the master was also drowned; When the master wakes up, he finds himself in a beautiful fairyland that is incompatible with the gray yin of the underworld, and he is very surprised, but when he sees his wife's suicide note, he understands everything
The wife not only told her husband the true face of the elixir they had been seeking, but also demanded that the husband should protect the gift of the Holy Spirit throughout his life, and that he could not be taken away, let alone brought back to the true country, and the master was grief-stricken to get the elixir, and the price of obtaining the elixir was to lose his beloved--this was simply a curse, the master craftsman lived in the valley, guarded his wife, and guarded his wife's wish before she died, and protected the elixir from being taken away; The flora and fauna that grow in the small valley of the barren land provide energy to maintain the existence of the enchantment, and although the necromancers outside are eyeing each other, as long as the enchantment still exists, the balance will not be broken
Two years ago, the balance was artificially broken, and Owen, who was transformed into a demon, rushed into the enchantment...... In the end, Owen collapsed because of the exhaustion of his magic power, but his body functions have been completely destroyed, and his soul is also full of holes, supported only by a strong willpower, but the master knows that this young man will not last long, and the final result is not only death, but also his soul will be wiped out - the only thing that can save him is the elixir, that is, the gift of the Holy Spirit, whether to use the elixir that his wife entrusted to him to protect before his death to save this young man who has never met him, the old man has struggled and struggled fiercely, but at the last moment, he still made a decision: to implant the elixir into Owen's body and save the young man's life
Since then, without Owen's knowledge, the gift of the Holy Spirit, which was melted by hundreds of thousands of souls, has been silently protecting him in his body, and for the next two years, the demon's blood has repeatedly attacked, bringing endless pain to Owen;
9 days ago, Owen was lured out of the barrier by the ghost assassin Blair with a seriously injured girl as bait, and fought with Blair, Raqilu, and Malloway successively, due to repeated stimulation, Owen couldn't suppress his anger, xù caused a strong resonance of demon blood, and turned into a demon who lost his reason for the second time, although he let the heinous zombie commander Mlovy receive due retribution, but Owen also almost burned himself in the black karmic fire - if it wasn't for the timely action of the master craftsman
After two days and two nights in a coma, Owen completely woke up, he felt incredible that he was intact, at this time, the master craftsman implanted the elixir in him, and informed Owen of the truth, after learning the truth, Owen was devastated, he sat in front of the cave without eating, drinking, sleeping, and sinking negatively - this is understandable, after all, not everyone can accept that their lives depend on the death of hundreds of thousands of people to sustain Owen's reaction, it is also human nature that Owen has this reaction, but seven days is too long
If you don't do that, why should you be depressed all the time?
No, I wasn't depressed
It's not depression, so what's wrong with you
I'm reflecting
rethink
Yes, I reflect on the path I should take in life – my own path
The boy's answer was somewhat unexpected, and the old man didn't interrupt him, and he continued to let Owen continue
In the past two years, you have taught me to comprehend the 'unity of heaven and man', and the feeling of being one with all things in heaven and earth, the purpose is to let me clear my superfluous feelings, dilute my desires, and maintain absolute peace in my heart, which is of great help to me to control my emotions to the greatest extent and suppress the demon blood, but it is precisely because of the seven emotions and six desires, joys, angers, sorrows, and joys that people are a complete person, and because Owen stood up with difficulty on the ground, because he sat for too long and had not eaten for many days, his body was extremely weak, his hands and feet were bloody, his movements were stiff, and it was extremely difficult for him to stand up; But Owen dismisses this, and goes on to say, from the perspective of 'the unity of heaven and man', you must think that man, as a member of all things in the world, his personal emotions and desires are not at all relevant compared with the laws of all things; If the universe's world and all things are regarded as one person, why can't we regard those unpredictable things in the world as human feelings, since everyone is a member of the world, can we think the other way around, in fact, everyone is a world, and human beings themselves represent the universe and contain all things, and since this is the case, people's feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, worry, thought, sorrow, and fear are taken for granted, just like the alternation of day and night, so why should we deliberately suppress them?
Do you know what the hell you're talking about, your thoughts are simply -- um-- etc...... Listening to Owen's theory, the old man frowned at first, but soon stretched out as if he suddenly realized something, and then laughed heartily...... You stinky boy has subverted the previous people's understanding of 'the unity of heaven and man' in just a few words, although it sounds a little ridiculous, but it is by no means unreasonable, there are many cultivators in my hometown, including my fellow disciples, who have practiced all their lives." Heaven and man are one', so that you can more perfectly merge with all things in the world, but how can you think that in your mouth, man itself is a universe, rather than seeking the near and far, and the world is one, it is better to look inward for the answer, but unfortunately this is not a vast continent, otherwise, for those cultivators, your concept may be a new world
As long as I pursue the path of truth, how can I be limited by geography, whether it is in the Far East as the master said, or in Olopa here, I can feel this because I have found a different path from the master craftsman, a path of my own life
Oh - your own way, would you like to hear about it
Looking back on my life, before I met the master, I had always been fascinated by the heroic legends and knightly affairs that Uncle Merkone had told since I was a child, and even if I did not have noble blood, I dreamed of becoming a knight, at least a messenger of justice like a real knight, destroying evil, and achieving new heroic legends; The heroic dream has not yet woken up, and then I met the master craftsman, you tell me that man is only an insignificant part of the vast universe, and human life is just a moment in eternal time, and it must shine a wonderful light in a finite life. So I abandoned the 'heroic dream' and found a new ideal in life, but after experiencing the incident 9 days ago, I realized that whether it is the 'heroic dream' of becoming a messenger of justice or the 'expectation' of burning life with wonderful light, it is only a borrowed ideal, which is borrowed from Uncle Merkone and the master craftsman, in fact, I have no ideals of my own at all, although you are all mentors in my life, but in the end, the path to go is still up to me
Owen turned to face the pale face of the master and craftsman's lack of nutrition, and an indescribable joy flashed: And my own life path is to live happily with the imprint left by hundreds of thousands of souls, even if I have a year or a month or a day left in my life, I will enjoy life happily with everyone, for this I will not be afraid or resist the hundreds of thousands of lives in my body, and I will make good use of the power given by everyone.
