Chapter 23: Refining the Heart
If Wuhuazong found out, Meng Xihua, who went to assassinate Xia Fan, suddenly had no news.
So how would Wuhua Sect feel?
Throwing a rat bogey, forbearance, or is there something else?
Adhering to a cautious attitude of being prepared, Xia Fan simply told Dong Cailing the worst result, at least so that she could be mentally prepared.
After all.
She is her own wife and the owner of Linwu Villa.
What's more, the trouble was caused by him, and he had to reveal the truth to the other party in both ways and reason.
Compared with Dong Cailing, who has a complicated mind, Xia Fan has always had a disapproving attitude.
The height of the station is different.
They all look at the problem from different angles.
Dong Cailing is worried about how to face Wuhuazong in the future.
But what Xia Fan was thinking about was how to calm down this turmoil without exposing himself.
All the way.
Xia Fan had never taken Wuhua Sect in his eyes.
All he cares about is his peaceful and stable life without being disturbed.
However, the objective world will not be transferred by the will of the individual.
Everything has a cause and an effect.
If Xia Fan hadn't adopted Xiao Ming and Ah Chao, if Xia Fan hadn't taught them martial arts knowledge, if Xia Fan had already married a wife and had children......
However, there are no ifs.
In fact, everything that happens today seems to be a predetermined outcome, and if any part of it goes wrong, it will shift to another outcome.
About that.
Xia Fan can't talk about regrets at all.
Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans.
Since it was his own choice, he was naturally ready to bear all the consequences.
Following.
Xia Fan lay in the rocking chair in the courtyard as usual and closed his eyes to recuperate.
And Peaches is also in a familiar position and concentrates on cultivation.
After three years of practice.
Peach's mental outlook has been completely different, and there is a faint sense of elegance between her hands and feet, completely washing away the lead and red dust that was once in the green building.
Although Xia Fan helped the peach to cut the hair and wash the marrow, and even supplemented it with spiritual food nourishment, it is a pity that the peach's qualifications are limited, and it is already the end of his life to reach the realm of the grandmaster.
But Peaches didn't seem to care.
It seems that I can get along with Xia Fan day and night every day, and I am already satisfied with a few words in my spare time.
The more so with peaches.
Xia Fan was more helpless.
Such a good girl is difficult to find in her previous life with a lantern.
It's just that there will be such a girl who likes herself in this life.
Sometimes Xia Fan can't figure it out himself.
He has already made himself look like a middle-aged uncle, he never teases women with flamboyant words on weekdays, and he will not have further contact with these women, he just does something that he takes for granted, and as a result, people have a good impression and love for him.
This made Xia Fan unspeakable.
The so-called intentionally planted flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows become shady.
In fact, Xia Fan has not experienced or seen similar feelings.
For example, when I was in high school in my previous life.
There are study groups in the class.
As the leader of the group, Xia Fan will patiently tutor the group members with poor learning and comprehension skills from time to time.
It just so happened that this group member was a girl.
Xia Fan didn't have any other thoughts at all when tutoring this girl to study.
On the one hand, it is out of the friendship of classmates, and on the other hand, I want to have a good score in the group evaluation.
What's more, Xia Fan still had a crush on the girl at that time.
Outcome.
Xia Fan plucked up the courage to confess to the girl he had a crush on after failing.
It didn't take long for the girls in the same group to confess to Xia Fan.
This made Xia Fan stunned on the spot.
Because he never thought that the other party would like him from beginning to end, and he never meant that to her.
At last.
He had to explain a lot to this girl.
After all, Xia Fan was still a big boy with simple feelings, if he liked it, he liked it, and if he didn't like it, he didn't like it.
If you change the scumbag, you will inevitably come.
It's a pity that Xia Fan is not a scumbag, but he still hurts a girl's heart.
Perhaps there is a lesson in this regard.
When Peaches begged Xia Fan to take her away.
This is also one of the reasons why Xia Fan did not refuse.
"Shopkeeper, Ade contacted me urgently. ”
I don't know when.
Ah Chao suddenly appeared behind Xia Fan and said softly.
"Oh?"
Xia Fan didn't raise his eyelids.
"He told me that there were some problems with the cooperation between the organization and the Wuhua Sect, but he would solve them himself, and he would definitely not affect the shopkeeper. ”
Ah Chao said directly.
"Then I'll see. ”
Xia Fan reacted coldly.
Will Ade solve it?
What does he take to solve it?
Just with his strength to step into the realm of martial saints with half a foot?
Once Wuhua Sect is ruthless, will his small body be able to withstand it?
Originally, the biggest advantage of their Tsing Yi Building was that it was in the dark where the enemy was unknown, but after Ade hooked up with Wuhuazong, the advantages of Tsing Yi Lou gradually disappeared.
It should not be difficult for Ade's intelligence to see the stakes.
But I don't know if he is overconfident and conceited.
still chooses to seek skin with Wuhua Sect and Tiger.
It turns out.
Facing an old sect like Wuhua Sect.
Ade is still too tender.
Three years of hard work.
Wu Huazong has already completed the plot to annex Tsing Yi Lou.
If Meng Xihua's assassination is successful.
Wu Huazong's side was in trouble at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, Tsing Yi Building will fall apart and completely change hands.
But.
It can be known through Ade's urgent transmission of Ah Chao's actions.
He seemed to be aware of Wuhuazong's scheme, but for some reason he didn't break his face with Wuhuazong.
At the moment, there is no Huazong to see the dagger.
I don't know what kind of countermeasures Ade is going to take.
"Shopkeeper, is that woman trustworthy?"
Ah Chao was silent for a moment and then diverted the topic.
"It's not worth it, but I've put a ban on her, and if she doesn't want to die, she won't do it easily. ”
Xia Fan said in a lazy tone.
"Such people should not be left behind. ”
Ah Chao said expressionlessly.
"Make the best use of everything, make the best use of people's talents, not to mention that if you kill her, it is likely to cause even more trouble. ”
Xia Fan said lightly.
"I'm a person who hates trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble, and the problem is that it's not just me. ”
"I see. ”
Ah Chao said in a deep voice.
"I'm planning to go out in a while. ”
Xia Fan said suddenly.
"Do you need me to accompany the shopkeeper?"
Ah Chao said.
"No, after all, the village can't do without you, this time I go out, I'll just take Peaches and two people out. ”
Xia Fan opened his eyes and glanced lightly at the Tao Dao, who was concentrating on cultivation not far away.
"What are the shopkeeper's plans for going out this time?"
Ah Chao said.
"I don't plan to, just go out and have fun, and don't leak a little bit of the news about my departure this time, Cailing will also explain it." ”
Xia Fan looked at the blue sky above his head with a distracted gaze.
......
"Husband?!Why did you suddenly leave the villa for no reason?"
Night.
When Dong Cailing heard that Xia Fan was about to go out, his whole heart was already in chaos.
"Don't think about it, I just want to go out for a walk, after all, I've been in the village for a long time, and I will always miss the outside world......"
Xia Fan understated.
"But ......"
Dong Cailing bit her lip lightly and said with a complicated expression.
"Ah Chao and Huahua will stay in the village to assist you, with the two of them here, so you don't have to worry about the safety of the villa, even if Wuhua Sect comes to the door in person, I won't be able to help you for a while......"
Xia Fan softly comforted Dong Cailing.
“...... Husband, why don't I go out with you?"
Dong Cailing's face hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Silly girl, you just need time to consolidate your foundation in the Villa, once you leave now, doesn't it mean that all your achievements will be lost?"
Xia Fan shook his head and said.
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't leave you behind. ”
“......”
When Dong Cailing heard this, he immediately lowered his head and was silent.
"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, this sentence does not apply to me, but at this juncture I said that I want to go out, which will inevitably make you have other thoughts, but have you seriously thought about it, why did I choose to go out at this juncture? And it is hiding from everyone?"
Xia Fan said calmly.
“...... Could it be that the husband has another meaning when he goes out this time?"
Dong Cailing suddenly raised her little head when she heard this, and stared at Xia Fan thoughtfully.
"Or what do you think?"
Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm not trying to sell you off, it's just that there are some things that I have a hard time talking to you about. ”
“...... Since the husband has his own plans, Cailing will not ask more. ”
Dong Cailing said silently for a moment.
“...... It's just that Cailing wants to know when her husband plans to leave. ”
"I don't know, it depends on the mood, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe ten and a half months later, so don't be surprised to see me suddenly disappear one day. ”
Xia Fan smiled.
"My husband is really as free and casual as ever. ”
Dong Cailing suddenly smiled bitterly.
"I'll just think you're complimenting me. ”
After speaking.
Xia Fan stretched his waist and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing this, Dong Cailing hurriedly asked.
"Bask in the moon. ”
Xia Fan didn't reply.
Basking in the moon?
Dong Cailing was stunned for a moment.
This time, you won't bask in the moon and bring back someone inexplicably, right?
"Come out, do you like to hide in the shadows so much, as an assassin's occupational disease?"
Courtyard.
Xia Fan sat on the rocking chair and hooked his finger towards the dark corner in the distance.
Moment.
A figure gradually walked from the corner.
The person who came was Meng Xihua.
"I wonder what your Excellency commands?"
Meng Xihua pursed his lips and saluted respectfully towards Xia Fan.
"Has anyone from Wuhua Sect contacted you?"
Xia Fan said casually.
"Yes. ”
Meng Xihua said in a deep voice.
"What did they say?"
Xia Fan said.
"Ask about the results of the assassination. ”
Meng Xihua said without concealment.
"What about your answer?"
Xia Fan shook his eyebrows and said.
And so on. ”
Meng Xihua said succinctly.
"So you're not too stupid. ”
Xia Fan pouted.
“......”
Meng Xihua was silent.
"I'll go out in a few days, and the safety of the lodge will be up to you. ”
Xia Fan said lazily.
“...... I don't know why your Excellency trusts you so much?"
Meng Xihua couldn't help frowning.
"No, no, no, no, you're wrong, I didn't trust you all the time. ”
Xia Fan shook his hand at Meng Xihua and said.
“...... Aren't you worried?"
Meng Xihua looked at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.
"What are you worried about? Worried that you will run away while I am away? Worried that you will kill Zhuang Li? Hehe, but do you think I really care about that?"
Xia Fan showed a meaningful smile towards Meng Xihua.
“...... Your Excellency is refining your heart?!"
Meng Xihua seemed to think of something, and his whole body shook violently.
"Refining the heart? maybe, it is worthy of a martial arts cultivator from a professional class, where is a wild way like me. ”
Xia Fan smiled disappreciatively.
"Your Excellency can see where you are coming from?"
Meng Xihua's eyes froze.
"I can't tell, guess. ”
Xia Fan yawned.
"How many martial arts cultivators in the world can rely on themselves to step into the realm of martial saints? There may indeed be such a person in the world, but that person will definitely not be you. ”
"Why are you so sure?"
Meng Xihua said in a deep voice.
"All I can tell you is that you have a good elder. ”
Xia Fan glanced at Meng Xihua deeply.
Good elders......
Meng Xihua was at a loss when he heard this.
Of course she didn't know.
Because when Xia Fan planted the prohibition in her body, he found that there was still a layer of prohibition in her body.
But unlike the prohibition planted by Xia Fan, the layer of prohibition in her body is to protect her, especially when she is at the juncture of life and death, this prohibition will be released, and if someone kills her, this prohibition will be like a maggot on the murderer's body.
Xia Fan did not kill Meng Xihua.
In part, it's because of this ban.
You must know that the people who can exercise this prohibition have the same cultivation realm as Xia Fan.
And Xia Fan didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
retreated, and simply let Meng Xihua work for himself.
If Meng Xihua really dared to escape while Xia Fan was away, or he would kill everyone in the villa.
Then Meng Xihua will definitely die.
What Xia Fan said just now.
Meng Xihua understood.
Refining the heart.
Red dust refines the heart.
This is a process that both monks and warriors must go through on the path of cultivation.
And refining the mind often more than once.
After all, at each stage of cultivation, the practitioner will have a new understanding of himself and the world.
In order to understand and stabilize the current state of mind.
It is inevitable that a practitioner needs to re-refine his mind, otherwise an unstable state of mind will lead to the appearance of inner demons.
Therefore, after Xia Fan finished that paragraph meaningfully.
Meng Xihua immediately understood what was going on.
This is a master who is in the process of refining his heart.
He seems to care about the people around him.
But in reality?
Maybe.
He really cares about these people.
But once someone kills these people he cares about.
This is equivalent to letting the other party end the heart refining process in advance.
When the time comes.
No one knows if this refreshed heart refiner will go berserk.
Interrupting a cultivator's process of refining the mind is inherently very dangerous.
What's more, it's a human immortal.
If Meng Xihua doesn't want to kill himself, it's best to be obedient for now.
When the other party's heart refining is over, he will inevitably let himself go after his state of mind is complete.
Because.
She has now become part of the other party's heart refining process.
