Chapter 36: Providence is indisobedient
"Providence, what is Providence?" Xiao Li's clenched fist slowly loosened, looking down at the ground that had been dented, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was answering the words of the ancient tree demon, and as if he was talking to himself.
"Could it be that Providence is to imprison me under the bitter cold rift, desolate every day? Then what is it that I tried all my strength to escape from the rift? Is it also Providence? I escaped from the rift, only to find myself in the Demon Night Forest, is this Providence? Is it Providence that wants me to give up resistance and accept it willingly! If everything is Providence, what am I living for, what am I going to fight? Everything is Providence, what else do I need to do?"
"All the suffering we suffer is not providential, but just an excuse for ourselves when we are powerless!"
"I've come a long way, but there's still a lot to go. I don't ask how wonderful the road I have traveled and how wonderful the road will be, I only wish that all the roads I have forced have come and what I want to go, not by anyone, let alone by anyone. ”
"If Providence wants to trap me here, I will not respect such Providence! If Providence wants to separate me and Qing Xu, then I will not accept it!"
The ancient dryad opened its mouth slightly, and the face on the trunk seemed to be a little incredulous, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly felt a burning sensation coming from under his abdomen, and at the same time, a crystal green light was emitted from under his ragged clothes. Seeing this, he hurriedly reached into the pocket under the belly of his coat, which contained the clutches he had seen on the cliff face of the rift valley earlier.
For a while before, the demon bones had been in a calm state, and there was nothing unusual, but for some reason, the light suddenly became even brighter today, penetrating through the clothes, and the surface became a little hot.
When he grabbed the glowing clutch in his hand, the dazzling green light suddenly spread out like a violently exploding circle of light, filling the distance of several miles in an instant.
A trace of doubt flashed in the ancient dryad's eyes, and then the thick body of the tree turned, avoiding the light that shot out.
Originally, he was squatting on the side and guarding the babbling and balls that were standing alone, but in a panic, he suddenly fell to the ground, facing the ground, and hid with his head in his hands.
For a moment, he didn't expect that the clutches of the devil would suddenly emit a dazzling light, and he got closer, and when he closed his eyes, his eyes were already faintly painful.
"Ahh
Immediately after, Xiao Li screamed in pain defenselessly, because what he didn't expect was that the demon bones were instantly hot several times, and his right hand seemed to be burned. He hurriedly threw up his right arm, trying to throw the demon bone, but somehow, the demon bone was tightly attached to his palm, like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off.
The light slowly contracted and faded from far to near, but the pain in his palm became more and more intense, and the pain was like a twisting heart. At this time, his cheeks were already white, and he was full of sweat in an instant. The pain was so severe that he couldn't move his right arm, and his entire right palm felt like it was about to melt. Immediately afterward, the vision in front of him became more and more blurred. There was a look of shock in his eyes, as if he had seen some terrifying sight.
At the moment when the light was about to fade, he only heard a 'poof' sound, and fell straight to the ground.
"Babbling, babbling"
"Hmph, hum"
In a dim state, he seemed to be in a dense green grass, with a wide but calm river beside him, surrounded by fog, which made people feel depressed. Vaguely, he saw a woman dressed in red and white clothes by the riverside not far away.
"Qing Xu" smiled heartily and walked towards her. But no matter how he walked or quickened his pace, he could not get close to the figure, and he shouted loudly, but the vague but familiar figure did not react in the slightest. Gradually, he seemed to realize that he was in a dream, stopped running, and quietly looked at the figure that had always been in front of him, never gone far, but never touched, his eyes became more and more determined, and he seemed to have made an extremely important decision solemnly. His body seemed to feel it for a moment, and his hands were clenched tightly together.
After some time, he faintly heard the babbling and the humming of the ball, and slowly, as if his consciousness suddenly returned to his body, he sat up suddenly.
Standing on the lonely chest, leaning over to look at the babbling and balls on his face, he was unsteady for a moment and rolled backwards, but he didn't care at all, and as soon as he stopped, he grinned and ran towards the lonely man who had woken up.
Holding the two little guys to his chest, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes swept around, and he couldn't help frowning. For some reason, I'm already in a completely different place.
I saw a dark space, empty and damp, it looked like a cave, but there was no cave entrance, the air circulation was not smooth, and the musty smell was a little strong.
"Ahem"
Before he could figure out where he was, a low cough suddenly came from behind the empty room.
Xiao Li hurriedly got up and looked back, through the surroundings, I don't know what emanated from the secluded light, only to see an old man with white beard, white and red complexion, and deep eyes, sitting on a wooden stake, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.
"You, who are you?" asked Li, a little cautiously. After asking, what made him a little puzzled for a while was that a person suddenly appeared, babbling and Qiuqiu turned a blind eye.
"Hehe" The old man of the fairy wind bone grinned a few times.
Only then did he realize that his previous voice was not a cough, but a hoarse laughter, and the identity of the person in front of him was naturally clear.
"Senior, why did we suddenly get here?" The previous ancient tree demon actually incarnated into an old man's appearance, and it was rumored that the Flood Desolation Demon Sect could transform into a human body, but they often disdained this and often existed as their own body. "Could it be that this ancient tree demon has reached the realm of the Demon Sect?"
"This is my retreat, it's very private, don't worry. The old man had a smile on his face, and he looked very charitable.
Hearing the ancient dryad say this, he didn't say anything. Just thinking of his previous appearance, and then comparing it with this person's body now, it was really a world of difference, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
It's just that his heart suddenly became excited, so that his body trembled a little, because he remembered the scene in Fang Cai's dream, remembered the decision he made, and at this moment, he already had a clear goal in his heart, and therefore there was hope.
"Qing Xu, if you are still in this world, no matter how far away you are, no matter how much time it takes, I will find you and answer the questions you have always wanted to know the answer to, but I have not yet had time to answer. ”
"If, if you are found in the end...... , then I will reunite your soul, change your life against the sky, and resurrect you" He remembered in his dream that when he first arrived at the Soul Pavilion, the words pointed out by the soul master "Use the soul to enter the three realms of quenching, royalty, and condensation, if you can transcend the realm of condensation and transformation, you can formlessly solidify the soul and bring the dead back to life......"
In the dream, his mind fell silent, looking at the untouchable figure, thinking about all the results, and having made a decision. Now that you have made up your mind, you need to do your best, just as the Demon Sect Lord said, 'Everything is man-made,' no matter what providence it is! The most difficult thing is not how many hardships there are on the road ahead, but that there is no goal at all for the road ahead.
"The previous momentum was too loud, and I was worried that other old demons would take advantage of the opportunity to peep, so I brought you here. The old man who had transformed into the ancient tree demon did not notice the change in his expression, and after a moment, he continued.
Xiao Li raised his head and nodded calmly at the ancient dryad, he had already suppressed the pain in his heart.
It is understandable that people will inevitably encounter various disasters or unexpected sufferings, and that pain and panic are sometimes unavoidable, but it is important not to allow such emotions to spread forever. In many cases, we need to keep a cool head and think in a painful situation, but at the same time, we also need an emotional fluctuation as a catharsis and buffer.
Thinking of the abnormal fluctuations in the clutches before, he still had palpitations in his heart. At this time, the palm of his right hand was still faintly swollen, although the surface was red, but there were no signs of burns other than that, "I obviously felt that my palm was about to melt before, but why is there no scar?"
"Huh, what about the clutches?"
Xiao Li wanted to see the state of the clutch and figure out why it had moved before, but he found that the demon bone could no longer be found, so he looked up suspiciously and looked at the old man with a smile on the stake.
