Chapter 113: The Mountaineer

Early in the morning, the peak of Baishou Peak.

The sun has not yet risen, and the entire summit of Baishou Peak is still shrouded in night. Due to the high altitude of the peak, the air is relatively thin, but because of the snow, the air smells very clean, and if you ignore the wind that whistles from time to time, the whole peak will feel unusually quiet, and the trees, flowers, animals, everything seems to be still sleeping.

At this time, on an inconspicuous road up the mountain, there was a faint sound of "creaking" stepping on the snow. I saw a man in a gray robe and a mask, holding two long thick wooden sticks in his hands, supporting a slightly thin body, stepping on the snow.

Due to the thick snow, the man looked a little struggling to climb, and the long shirt on his body was completely soaked with sweat in many places, but the man didn't pay much attention to it, as if he couldn't feel the cold wind whistling in his ears at all. The exposed eyes were always staring at the peak not far away, and their eyes were mixed with perseverance and exhaustion.

This person is none other than Du Xiaobai.

"Ahem~"

Du Xiaobai coughed twice, and he felt as if something was stirring in his lungs and stomach, which made him uncomfortable.

He found a raised rock, wiped the snow off it, and sat down. This was the first time he had climbed a mountain in his life, and it was still in such a bad situation, with commendable spirit and inexperience. Along the way, the freshness supported and drove his body, and there was not much discomfort. It wasn't until he was close to the summit that a feeling of exhaustion and discomfort hit him and caught him off guard.

Du Xiaobai gasped heavily, he felt that he needed to take several breaths of air to get his body running. Looking up at the peak in front of him, which was less than thirty meters, he felt that this thirty-meter distance seemed to take him a year.

Taking advantage of the rest, Du Xiaobai remembered the conversation between the three of them last night.

Last night, after Du Xiaobai and Old Man Gu Zigui chatted, they ate eight bowls of rice before they felt full. After Zi Ling cleaned up all the tableware, he went to take care of his senior brother Zizhe, it is said that the high fever has subsided, but he has not woken up yet. Anqi, who slept all afternoon, because listening to the conversation between the two was like listening to a book from heaven, sleepiness hit her again, so she simply ran back to the house to sleep.

There were two people left in the courtyard, Gu Zigui and Du Xiaobai, so Gu Zigui told Du Xiaobai to be worthy of his fate. Since the real gold has chosen you, you must not live up to its abilities. In the future, there may be a lot of involuntary self-determination, but you must use your abilities on the right path, and in your spare time, you can study Wu Xian's books, or you can meditate, examine your current situation more, examine your desires more, and don't go astray.

Du Xiaobai took Gu Zigui's words to heart, and he told Gu Zigui that he didn't have too many desires and pursuits, and since his beloved wife was gone, his heart had become very calm, and his only thought was to hope to find his wife, if she was indeed in the underworld.

Gu Zigui pondered for a long time, and didn't say anything, just said that there were too many uncertain factors in this matter, maybe she could cross the Lechuan River, maybe she didn't go to the Soul Devouring Flower Area. In this matter, if Granny Meng can't help, then the help of others is very limited. However, it is good for young people to have goals, and do not give up hope.

Du Xiaobai could feel that Old Man Gu Zigui and Old Man Du Kang were somewhat similar, their conversation styles were very similar, and their beliefs were extremely similar. Based on the Five Elements Theory, it extends to all things in the world, such as emotions, choices, fate, destiny, etc., all of which can be explained by the Five Elements Theory and the Law of Cause and Effect. The core idea is to persuade people to be kind, to give love to others, and to have their own blessings.

This kind of belief reminds Du Xiaobai of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", he has never studied these ancient texts in the world, although he only remembers the first sentence of the Tao is very Taoist, but he has clearly realized: Thinking is right, then the Tao is right, the Tao is right, the body is right, and the body is right, then the path is right.

However, Gu Zigui was born in the Shang Dynasty, Du Kang was born in the earlier Yellow Emperor period, and Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist school, was born relatively late, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty.

I may have a few abilities that are different from ordinary people now, and I may increase them in the future, and my abilities will become bigger and bigger. As it is said in a movie in the world, with great power comes great responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the more things to mix, I don't have any desire now, but I can't guarantee what will become in the future. Maybe you can control your desires, maybe you will be consumed by your desires. Therefore, the reminder of the old man Gu Zigui is prescient, look at yourself more and look at your desires, in order to calm yourself down, not to be controlled by desires and go down the wrong path. If you become like that, your own abilities may become an accomplice to the darkness.

As for his ability, Gu Zigui reminded himself last night that according to the law of the five elements, the ability also has the attributes of the five elements. For example, his speed and strength suddenly increased, and his temper became very irritable during that time period, and it seems that this ability is very similar to that of a fire attribute. Then, the fire attribute is restrained by the water phase, and in the underworld of the main water attribute, this ability should be restrained, and the chance of triggering it is not great.

When Du Xiaobai heard the word "trigger", he was very speechless in his heart.

What are the probabilities?Old Man Gu, you think this is playing an online game......

However, Du Xiaobai thought about it, and Old Man Gu's explanation may be the most appropriate. If you think about it, the abilities in your body may be triggered by them. So then again, what exactly are the triggering conditions?

Du Xiaobai sat on the stone, completely unaware that the clothes on his body had frozen, and he seriously recalled everything that had happened to him after he recognized the Lord from Zhenjin.

The first time I felt strange was when I went back to the office to resign, when Zheng Shuang was making noise in my ears, and I suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.

Now that I think about it, my performance at that time may have been the manifestation of my ability, but what were the conditions for triggering? Was it anger?

The second time, it was in the underworld, he rescued Xiao Yuyao and Fang Yun in the Soul Eater Flower Area, when he saw the two girls in danger, his body reacted naturally - to save them. I guess I was angry at that time......

The third time was when he and Xiao Yuyao went to the Lechuan River to report to the soldiers of the Fire Dragon Clan. At that time, there was a young soldier Zhou Shan, who insulted Xiao Yuyao at the exit, and took action himself. This time, there are also reasons for anger.

The common denominator of these three times is that there is anger in the emotion, is it possible that the triggering condition is the emotion of anger?

Du Xiaobai touched his chin, and after a busy day, the stubble had gradually grown, making his clear face look a little rough.

Wrath...... This word, before meeting Angel, was really too far away from himself......
