Chapter 191: Human Essence 8

The flame gesture of the old man parted, and two blue flames soared above his palm. With a flick of both hands, two blue flames flew out and landed on Bai Ye's body, and Bai Ye was ignited by blue flames like boring dry wood!

Bai Ye's body was also covered in blue fire like an old man.

This blue fire is formed by the yang energy of people, not the fireworks of the world, and will not burn the white night. But Bai Ye absorbs too much Yin Qi, and it is also Yin itself, which is more or less detrimental to Bai Ye itself. The old man said to Xiaomi, "You let Bai Ye clean up this annoying lion as soon as possible." The flames can't be used for too long, although the white night is not composed of resentful spirits, and he is not so afraid of yang energy, but after all, he also feeds on resentment. ”

Xiaomi immediately gave the order to the white night: "White night! Destroy it! ”

Bai Ye received the order and immediately pounced on the golden lion.

At this time, the golden lion was no longer majestic, but hid in Tibet, not daring to fight.

The white night chased after him.

The golden lion had no choice but to retreat to the side of the foreign missionary, and then turned around and drilled into the crystal ball, and actually drilled into the crystal ball.

Millet took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, tying the hands and necks of the foreign missionaries with a silk ear.

The White Night passed through the missionary's body again, took his soul out of his mouth, and ate the missionary's soul like a cookie.

Xiaomi picks up the crystal ball.

Seeing his soul being eaten by the white night, the missionary quickly convulsed and finally remained motionless.

Millet went to see the previous missionary, who was already dead.

The old man put away his gestures, the flames on his body gradually extinguished, he looked at the corpse of the foreign missionary, and said: "Two foreigners have died, and tomorrow will definitely cause a sensation in Baoding City." We have to hide. "At that time, the status of foreigners was much higher than that of Chinese. Not long ago, while the Germans were building a railway in Shandong, a certain village was obstructed for fear of destroying the dragon vein, resulting in the accidental death of a German engineer. A few days later, the German gunners killed more than 200 people in that village, and it caused a national sensation at the time.

"How to hide? I can't leave the dog meat restaurant, otherwise Ma Xiu won't know where I went when he came back. Xiaomi said.

The old man said, "Now it's time for you to take me to a place where I can go without your lead." ”

Millet said, "Oh? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Are you going to leave tonight? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, if you leave tonight, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others." We'll meet tomorrow morning, and you'll wait for me at the corner of Back to Long Street after you've finished breakfast. ”

"Okay." Xiaomi replied.

The old man said, "You can keep that crystal ball and experience its power carefully." If only one day you could summon the Golden Lion as well. ”

Xiaomi said: "I already have a white night, I don't want a golden lion." ”

The old man smiled: "The little girl is not a greedy person, this is very good. You don't want a golden lion, you can eat it as a food for the white night. It eats the golden lion, just like a cultivator who takes the elixir, which can greatly improve its strength. White Nights are advancing by leaps and bounds these days, but the foundation is not stable enough. With this golden lion as a golden pill, its foundation will be solid, which will be of great benefit to the future. ”

Millet said: "My master said that Bai Ye is too violent now. ”

"Hey, your master's knowledge is too shallow, what's so strange about this? Whether it is a human or an animal, once the strength suddenly increases, everyone will have a little violent atmosphere. Just like a person who suddenly has a large amount of money and doesn't know what to do, after mastering this money, he suddenly becomes rich from poverty, and it is very likely that his personality has changed drastically and he is self-righteous. You don't have to worry about the violent anger that your master said, let Bai Ye take the 'golden pill' in the crystal ball as soon as possible and build a solid foundation, and this problem will naturally not exist. ”

"Master thinks I also have a violent aura." Xiaomi whispered.

The old man laughed and said, "Little girl, I can feel that your strength was originally there, and now it is not improving by leaps and bounds, but gradually recovering." Therefore, your violent anger does not come from a sudden increase in strength, but from another cause. I can't give you any advice on emotional matters. You can only change it yourself. ”

Millet asked, "Didn't you say that you have accumulated too much life experience?" Why can't you give any advice? ”

The old man put away his smile, sighed lightly, and said, "Have you ever heard a sentence?" Love is deep. ”

"Affectionate?"

"Hmm. The meaning of this sentence is that if the feelings are too deep, the life of the feelings will not be too long. You care too much about a person, like a person too much, and use too much affection, but it hurts yourself and the person you like. In my experience, there is another meaning of deep affection, that is, people who are too affectionate will not live long. In ancient times, affectionate people were prone to depression, sadness, and then affect the body, and end up complaining. Cangyang Gyatso, the well-known amorous living Buddha of the previous dynasty, and Nalan Rongruo, the first genius of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wrote poems with deep affection and tear-jerking, but they all fell around the age of thirty. There are no examples of amorous women dying well, there are those who die of illness because of love, and there are those who commit suicide because of love, and the list goes on. ”

Xiaomi nodded slightly.

"So, if I want to become a human spirit, the first cultivation method is nothing else, but to abandon all feelings."

Xiaomi was stunned.

"Feelings are the number one obstacle for human spirits. In addition to the sadness, I also have to endure the people I once knew leaving me one after another. For a person like me, it is impossible to grow old together, and to live in the same bed and die in the same hole. ”

Xiaomi thinks about it too. Who can grow old with a man who will not die for a thousand years?

The old man continued: "If I have too much affection for people, I will be tormented by this parting. If I'm miserable, why am I going to live so long? Isn't that the Infernal Hell that you can't turn over? This is contrary to my goal of immortality. Therefore, the first lesson of my cultivation is to get rid of the source of troublesβ€”not to be emotional. Isn't it a joke for a person who never has a love affair to give some advice to someone who is deeply involved? ”

After speaking, a forced smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"I see." Xiaomi finally got it. She knew that the old man was telling the truth. A person who has traveled through hundreds of thousands of years first faces the constant separation of life and death. Not to mention that he deliberately avoided feelings for the sake of cultivation, even if he was a sentient person before, the parting of life and death again and again would make his heart gradually cocooned.

The old man said: "If you have to give you any advice, I will give you the words 'deep love and longevity'." I hope you keep it in your heart. ”

The next day, there was a noticeable tension in Baoding City. On the way back to Long Street, Millet found soldiers patrolling and checking everywhere. Xiaomi heard someone secretly talking about it, saying that two foreigners were missing, and Lord Yang put pressure on the prefect to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Millet hurriedly walked to the corner of Huilong Street, but did not see the old man.

Millet waited for a while, and when he saw that the old man had not yet come, he went down the street to look for it. Although it was relatively early, there were quite a few people on the streets. Silk shops, pharmacies, restaurants, inns and other shops are full of people. Millet squeezed around the crowd with the white night.

After looking for it in front of the street and behind the street, Xiaomi still didn't find the old man. Xiaomi is a little anxious, could it be that the old man was arrested so soon?

Looking for another back and forth, Xiaomi has not yet found the old man.

Just as Xiaomi was about to leave, a hand was placed on Xiaomi's shoulder.

A hoarse voice sounded: "This little girl, do you want to tell fortunes?" ”

Xiaomi was overjoyed and turned her head, the person who came was none other than the old man.

"How did you ......?"

The old man made a booing motion, motioning for her not to say more.

Xiaomi was immediately silenced.

The old man's hand did not take off Xiaomi's shoulder, he leaned into Xiaomi's ear and said, "Go forward, go in the direction of the city gate, and take me out of the city." ”

Millet walked in the direction of the city gate.

"Are you leaving Baoding?"

"It doesn't matter if you leave, I came when the Mongolian Taizu rebuilt the city of Baozhou, and later Yuan Taizong renamed the city of Baozhou as 'Baoding', which means 'defending the capital and stabilizing the world', I have been here again, during the Longqing period next year, Baoding Tucheng will be changed to a brick city, and I have also been here."

"Will you ever come back to Baoding?"

"If you don't leave, you don't care about coming back."

Xiaomi turned his head and asked, "Is it the same for you to go anywhere?" ”

"For a person who has no home, no loved ones, it is the same everywhere. Every city is made of bricks, and there is a group of people living in the bricks, and the people are all seven emotions and six desires, living and traveling, eating and wearing. ”
