Chapter 19: Night Enlightenment
It was night, the night was as cold as water, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was gentle, Xu Xiaojing sat alone on the roof of the inn and drank alone.
Lan Qing quietly climbed up from behind Xu Xiaojing, leaned on Xu Xiaojing's side and asked softly, "What is Brother Xiaojing thinking?"
Xu Xiaojing took a sip of wine, hugged Lan Qing to her side, and said, "Today's events made me think a lot, it turns out that I am so weak and vulnerable in the face of real strength." ”
Xu Xiaojing's words were full of lowness, loss and decadence, as well as a deep sense of self-blame. He didn't dare to imagine what the result of the three of them would have been if Qiu Lao hadn't appeared in time today.
Lan Qing listened to the decadence in Xu Xiaojing's words, and her heart was also sour: "Yes, in the face of real strength, we are all so weak. ”
"But is it because of this that we give up? Back then, I was a beggar in Baiyun City, and I had endured the white eyes of others, and I could beg desperately for a sword technique. Because it was my dream to become a cultivator, until I met you, Brother Xiaojing. ”
"Now that we have gone all the way, we have not only become cultivators, but also become the foundation building predecessors who are high up in the eyes of ordinary people. Brother Xiaojing, do you want to retreat and give up?" Lan Qing's voice was still very soft, but it hit the depths of Xu Xiaojing's heart.
"Brother Xiaojing, do you remember that you told me about your dreams? You said that you want to protect everyone around you who loves you and the people you love, and you still want to return to your hometown, have you forgotten all this?" Xu Xiaojing heard this, and her heart couldn't help but be shocked: "Yes, the worldly materialism made me gradually lose myself, and a setback actually hit me to the ground, am I really so fragile?"
Xu Xiaojing's eyes showed confusion: "What is my dream?
Seeing that Xu Xiaojing seemed to be obviously thinking, Lan Qing moved closer to Xu Xiaojing's side, leaned on Xu Xiaojing's shoulder and said, "Brother Xiaojing, the path of cultivation is endless, but no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, Xiaoqing is willing to always be by your side and bear it with you." ”
Xu Xiaojing felt the breath of Lan Qing beside her, her eyes gradually recovered, she looked up at the full moon in the sky, and muttered in her heart: "Don't forget your original intention, you have to always, no matter how difficult it is, it's just a matter of starting over." ”
Suddenly, Xu Xiaojing's eyes burst out with an amazing light, and the muttering at the beginning turned into a long roar: "No matter how difficult it is, it's just starting all over again!"
Lan Qing beside her let go of her hand in time, looking at the brilliance in Xu Xiaojing's eyes, tears flashing in her eyes, and a moving smile bloomed on her face.
Xu Xiaojing stood up, flipped his palm, and the Zichen Sword emerged. I saw Xu Xiaojing's long sword swing, and a sword light ran out, as if to illuminate the entire night.
"My dream is the guard, my heart is the preaching, this sword breaks the past and casts a new life. Xu Xiaojing's long sword pointed at the sky, and her voice was deafening.
With the slash of a sword, Xu Xiaojing really let go of the past and melted into the world of the Cangyun Continent with a new attitude. He has a more different understanding of life in two lives, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, a new heart should always be the same.
Xu Xiaojing pulled Lan Qing next to her, leaned down and said affectionately: "May the time in this life not be wasted, the passing years will not be light, and the face will be the same." ”
Lan Qing buried her head in Xu Xiaojing's arms and whispered: "If you go down to the Nine Shadows, I am willing to be Shura; ”
Xu Xiaojing felt the affection of the beautiful woman in her arms, hugged Lan Qing in her arms a little tighter, and looked into the distance with more and more firm eyes.
Qiu Lao in the room felt the breath of the roof, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, he knew that Xu Xiaojing at this time was no longer the Xu Xiaojing of the past, he had already established his own Dao heart. Now that the troubled times are empty, the wind and clouds will meet, and like this, its Jackie Chan momentum is unstoppable.
Somewhere in the Cangyun Continent, an old beggar who was gnawing on a chicken leg flashed with a glint in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Is the destiny of heaven to nurture the Dao heart? It's getting more and more interesting, looking forward to your growth, little one." As he spoke, he continued to nibble on the chicken leg in his hand as if nothing had happened.
At this time, it was already half of the night, and Xu Xiaojing was enjoying the moonlight with Lan Qing, enjoying this rare tranquility.
The bright moon was in the sky, the beauty was like jade, Xu Xiaojing looked a little stupid, leaned down lightly and just wanted to kiss Lan Qing's forehead, when she heard the sound of pushing the window in the inn.
Then a group of people stuck their heads out of the window and yelled at the roof: "What kind of bastard is on the roof? What's wrong, running to the roof at night and crying wolf, you don't have to sleep?!"
Xu Xiaojing was also embarrassed when she saw this situation, with a black line at one end. Looking at Xu Xiaojing's embarrassment, Lan Qing beside her chuckled lightly.
Xu Xiaojing sighed secretly: "Fortunately, it's night, and people can't see my appearance, otherwise I will be famous again tomorrow for the entire Six Counties City." Alas, this person is handsome, but there is no way, he is the focus everywhere. ”
"Okay, since it's everyone's strong request, let's go, Xiao Qingqing, let's go back to sleep. I have to say that Xu Xiaojing is really cheeky, but Lan Qing saw that Xu Xiaojing had returned to her usual appearance, and her heart settled down, but she knew that Xu Xiaojing had really transformed.
There weren't too many turmoil in the next few days, but in Xu Xiaojing's feelings, there were a few strong breaths that came to the six counties one after another. Xu Xiaojing guessed that it must be people from the other five counties who had arrived.
During this period, I came once during the day, and it seemed that I asked Qiu Lao to go to the Heavenly Star Academy to discuss something, which must be related to the next trip to the ruins.
When I came to see Xu Xiaojing during the day, I always felt that Xu Xiaojing had changed a lot, and it felt different, but I couldn't say what had changed. It just felt as if there was an incomparably sharp aura in his body, like a sharp blade out of its sheath.
Everything was as Xu Xiaojing expected, and Qiu Lao said to them that night: "The people from the other five counties have already arrived, today they will rest for a day, and tomorrow morning they will gather at the gate of the six counties, and set off for the ruins, you should prepare well."
When Xu Xiaojing heard Qiu Lao say this, she felt that she should prepare well. To be honest, for so long, Xu Xiaojing hasn't sorted out his storage belt properly, and there are some things in it that he doesn't even know. So what Xu Xiaojing has to do today is to tidy up his storage belt.
