Chapter Twenty-Eight: Carving Yourself
When Feng Yan and the other seven woke up normally, the four of Wu Kuohai had already left the Dao Sect and started their own adventure.
At breakfast, a few people didn't pay much attention to the fact that Wu Kuohai and the four of them did not appear.
Maybe they're up late?
At the same time, the four of them had some vague unknown worries.
When they walked to the training ground next to it, they saw Jin Lao appear in the field.
The four of them realized that there might be a big problem, nothing special, and Jin Lao would not be here.
When the four of them saw that the statues of Wu Kuohai and the four of them were missing from the training ground, they vaguely guessed what was happening.
Senior Brother Wu, they are also ......
"Here ......
Jin Lao's voice was calm.
"Speaking of things, Wu Kuohai, Wen Changtian, Lin Kunpeng, and Yang Tianhong have left Wendao Peak from today. ”
The four of them were stunned, and sure enough, Senior Brother Wu and they also made that choice.
Again, everyone has their own path, and we are not qualified to judge whether their choice is right or wrong. ”
After speaking, Jin Lao left.
The four of them were a little silent, and the three of them were a little puzzled.
"Well, what's going on with those four people?"
Yueli asked.
Why did you leave all of a sudden?
"To leave is to leave. ”
Stormfall replied.
"I heard that the disciples of Wendao Peak can't leave until they reach the Spirit Realm?"
Yueli continued to ask.
If you want to reach the Spirit Realm, you have to go through the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, how can there be no movement at all? And they seem to be still the eighth order of the Spirit Transformation.
"Naturally, there is the help of the elixir, and it should be the elixir. ”
Zhou Tong replied.
"But they didn't break through, didn't they not leave according to the rules of Dao Daofeng?"
"You have made that choice, and you are embarrassed to ask Dao Peak to break through?"
Thunderstorm was a little excited.
"Maybe it won't be long before Wu ...... They'll find a place to break through outside. ”
Bai Yu's voice was a little lost.
"However, doesn't the pill damage the foundation?"
Wang Ling asked.
This kind of elixir that helps to break through will generally cause some damage to the foundation.
"The foundation of the disciples of Dao Peak is much more stable than others, and the use of pills is just to make the foundation fluctuate a little, and it will hardly have an impact. ”
Stormfall explained.
After that, several people sat in their own places to carve, but the four of them were a little absent-minded, and there was little progress in the morning.
In the afternoon, the four of them adjusted their mentality and devoted themselves to the carving work.
And Wu Kuohai's room for four people was also transformed into an exclusive canteen for several people by Jin Lao in the afternoon. It was more convenient for the people to eat when they asked Daofeng.
Seven days later, at Wendao Peak, the traces left by Wu Kuohai's four people seemed to have completely disappeared.
Everything related to them had disappeared from Ask Dao Peak, and the few people no longer talked about them in their words, as if they had never existed at all.
After devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the carving work, even though they encountered many problems, they still solved those problems with perseverance.
On the statues in their hands, many details gradually became apparent.
The facial features gradually became clearer, and the expressions became more realistic and natural. The details of the clothes are also gradually carved, and some folds and patterns gradually become clear.
Three months later, Moon Shadow completed her sculpture, and every detail was revealed, and the whole image was lifelike, and it was unanimously praised by several people.
But Moon Shadow didn't react, instead staring at her statue blankly, not knowing what to think.
While several people are confused, Moon Shadow destroys her statue and recreates a new one.
When several people saw this scene, they didn't know how to react, so they had to make their own statues with doubts.
Three days later, they made their own statues.
Then they looked at the lifelike self in front of them, a little stunned.
Why doesn't the statue look like itself at all?
It's not that the image is not the same, they can guarantee that the image of the statue is at least nine out of ten similar to themselves.
But the temperament of the statue does not match their own at all, and they give themselves an uncomfortable feeling.
At this point, the group finally understood why Moon Shadow was destroying her own statue.
So, they did the same thing as Moon Shadow.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the experience of making it for the first time, the rest of the production is much easier.
In just ten days, they made the second statue.
This time, they made it according to the image that matched their temperament.
When there were not many details, they all felt that they could be satisfied this time.
But when all the details were completed, they found that they were satisfied with the temperament of the statue, but the image seemed to be a little worse than themselves.
As a result, this time, the production also failed.
Why?
It's clear that the carving is yourself, why can't you be satisfied?
With doubts, the third production begins.
Ten days later, the production was complete.
This time, both the image and the atmosphere are similar, and there is nothing particularly dissatisfying.
But everyone felt that it was not enough, that it was not enough to meet the requirements of their hearts.
They were still a little dissatisfied.
After destroying the statue again, they began to discuss.
"You're not happy with what you've made?"
Zhou Tong asked questions of the others.
"What shall I say...... It always feels like there's something missing. ”
Bai Yu thought for a moment.
"That's how I feel...... No matter how you come, I always feel a little uncomfortable. ”
Stormfall gave his opinion.
"Really, I don't understand, I came according to my own wishes, why can't I accept what I made?"
The thunderstorm was a little depressed.
Originally, he was depressed enough to carry out this kind of work that required meditation, so he wanted to end it early. But I finally completed it, but I found that I couldn't be satisfied.
"I also feel this way, even though I am a beautiful girl with full energy, and it feels like a sand sculpture when I make it. ”
Yueli also spoke her mind.
Obviously I'm normal, why do I hate the statue so much?
"Sand sculpture, Sister Yueli, aren't we made of Xuanshi, why did we become sand sculptures?"
Wang Ling keenly caught a strange word in Yueli's mouth.
Then Yueli realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she also found that the others were looking at her suspiciously.
"Don't worry, it was a slip of the tongue, I mean the statue looks silly. ”
A few people stopped talking, and they actually wanted to say that you really look stupid sometimes.
If nothing else, sometimes Yueli would suddenly be stunned for a moment, and then when others talked to her, she would look at him stupidly.
Although this changed the bad impression of the people who asked Daofeng about Yueli, this stupid appearance became a new impression of Yueli by several people.
But they didn't dare to say it.
Although Yueli really doesn't look like a witch at all, and now holding the sleeping Moon Shadow, she still has a sense of holiness.
But if it's really a whole person, then it's really a "witch".
"Otherwise, a few of us will try our best to make a statue that we are most satisfied with, and then the others will see what is going on, and maybe we will know the problem. ”
Zhou Tong put forward his own suggestions.
Perhaps, from a different perspective, the problem can be solved.
So, after fifteen days of use, under the meticulous carving and pecking, and after a great deal of effort, the most satisfactory statues of each of them were freshly baked.
However, they are still a little dissatisfied.
"It seems that everyone is a little dissatisfied, so let's talk about it first. Since I mentioned it first, I'll talk about it first. What I'm not satisfied with is this temperament, it feels a little cunning. ”
Zhou Tong spoke first.
"I think it's normal, you have so many little schemes, it does feel a little cunning. ”
Bai Yu spoke his mind, and the others agreed.
"No, it's just a little trick, it won't make me have such an air of cunning, right?"
Zhou Tong was a little surprised.
"Not really, but it feels like it's missing a little bit of something, and it doesn't feel like you're you. ”
Bai Yu added.
"Let me say, could it be that the things we are not satisfied with are actually just that we can't accept them?"
Yueli interjected.
A few people were stunned, this is very likely.
"Why don't we all talk about it?"
Wind Death proposed, and everyone agreed.
"I think this statue is too delicate, I'm obviously a big man!"
"I think my statue has a bit of a hideous expression, and I'm so angry, but it can't be like this. ”
"I think this statue is too ordinary, it doesn't have any unique characteristics that are unique to me, and it's clear that my situation is so special. ”
"The overall image is not dissatisfied, but this breath is a little sharp, am I really like this myself?"
"That...... Am I eating a little too much?"
Except for Moon Shadow, who was a little tired and rested in Yueli's arms, everyone else was finished.
Then, there was a silence.
After silence, several people nodded solemnly.
Then they looked at the statue of Moon Shadow.
These four times, the statue of Moon Shadow has basically not changed, and the image is still so lifelike.
The only dissonant thing is that the statue is obviously a whole, but it shows two temperaments, half sharp and half gentle.
I am afraid that no one can accept this feeling.
But this is the most intuitive and obvious feeling that the ethereal Moon Shadow gives them.
"So, in fact, we just can't accept ourselves?"
Yueli came to such a conclusion.
Then everyone fell silent and began to wonder if it was true or not.
And the result of thinking is indeed that they can't accept some of their own problems, and this is the case all four times. They felt the problems to a greater or lesser extent, but they couldn't accept them.
You can't have the things you hate!
But now, they had to accept it.
"Then we're done, right?"
Thunderstorms are still more concerned about this issue.
"It's done. ”
"It's just that I can't accept it. ”
"The truest version of yourself? ”
"But that's who we are. ”
After expressing their feelings, Thunderstorm told Jin Lao through Jin Ling that they had completed their mission.
When Jin Lao came, he didn't look at the statue at all, but just asked.
"How do you feel when you are true to yourself?"
Several people were a little ashamed.
"I seem to know what my true self is like. ”
The crowd nodded.
"The most authentic self, the person concerned often can't accept it, it's normal for you to be like this, don't be ashamed...... Now that you know what you're wrong with, get rid of them. ”
After Jin Lao finished speaking, everyone felt a little more comfortable.
"In the future, remember to check yourself regularly and don't live like you don't want to see. People live for a lifetime, at least not against their hearts. ”
A few people are alert, look at themselves, they really need it.
"But ......"
Hearing this turn, several people's nerves were a little tense. Generally speaking, at this time, what Jin Lao does is to pick stones from eggs, and he can really pick them out.
"Actually, I just want to train you in your control of power, so that you can control your power accurately...... , let you examine yourself, it's just a whim, but I didn't expect you to gain so much. ”
Jin Lao sighed a little.
His original plan was to have a few people make some buildings, but suddenly he had a little inspiration, so he made his own statues and looked at himself.
At that time, Jin Lao really didn't expect any results from this, because now they don't need to think about it.
All he was looking forward to was a few people learning to control their powers.
"Elder Jin, do you know how much trauma your whim has caused to our hearts. ”
Zhou Tong complained, and several people nodded.
They're all a little unable to face themselves.
"Don't make trouble, this little injury can hurt you, then get out of Dao Dao Peak as soon as possible, and ask Dao Feng not to be such a fragile disciple. ”
The crowd choked.
Jin Lao, can't you say something nice to comfort us?
"Why should the uncarved people care about the carved images?"
After saying that, Jin Lao left.
