Chapter 11: Warm Light
Lying quietly on the bed, Xue Yi couldn't sleep.
Just now, he also tried to look inside his body. His mind can't be as powerful as Hua Lao's, and he can directly peek into the origin, but when his mind is close to his Jindan, he still feels two extremely opposing breaths from it. These two breaths poured into each other, and they did not give in to each other, and there was no possibility of fusion at all. Xue Yi could feel that once he caused the outbreak of these two forces, his fate would definitely not be much better.
After an ordinary person awakens the natal element, he can naturally use his skills to transform the combat power in his body into a more pure and powerful elemental power, but under Hua Laodi's solemn reminder, Xue Yi now does not dare at all. Although he had just met Hua Lao, his inner intuition told him that Hua Lao's words were true.
Is your way cut off like this? Xue Yi asked himself softly.
Nearly five years of hard work, are you going to turn into a river to go to the spring?
In the slightly painful mind, the broken scenes were like broken glass scattered on the ground, refracting dazzling light.
It was the apprehension when he first met Zhou Shang when he first arrived in the Zhou Mansion, that was the panic when Zhou Shang first proposed to teach him the martial arts of the Zhou Mansion, that was the excitement when he practiced the Four Elephant Sutras for the first time, that was the smile of his grandfather when he knew that he had embarked on the road of cultivation, and that was the solemnity when he handed over the Tianyuan Zhen Demon Finger to himself and explained that it was left to him by his mother. There are also the bits and pieces of how he got along with Zhou Shang in the past five years, as well as the self who insisted on meditating regardless of the cold winter and heat, and the mornings and evenings when he was bruised all over his body in order to practice his combat skills.
It seemed that his light and darkness dual limit attributes were so bright, and it seemed that he had easily cultivated into the Four Elephant Sutra and stepped into the tenth layer of the foundation. But in fact, he was just a subordinate of the Zhou Mansion! How much effort did he put in behind him to reach this point? Without the guidance of a professional teacher, without systematic theoretical education, and without a suitable opponent, everything could only be relied on Zhou Shang's words and his own slow exploration, and the entire cultivation process was like crossing the river by feeling the stones. How much did he really pay for today?
How many days and nights of fantasies about the future were intertwined in Xue Yi's mind and the beautiful blueprint for the future was crushed under the opposing momentum of light and darkness.
It hurts terribly in my heart.
"Are you an ordinary person?" Xue Yi muttered to himself slowly, a wry smile gradually filling his face, "Perhaps, this is my original destiny." No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the palm of fate in the end. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm sorry, Zhou Shang. I'm going to let you down. ”
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Who said that men don't flick when they have tears? After all, he's only a fifteen-year-old!
All the efforts and dreams in the past five years have been shattered in the face of reality, no matter how good Xue Yi's state of mind is, how can he not despair?
"Bang-" The door of the hut was suddenly rudely slammed open, and a figure broke in in a flash, and saw Xue Yi lying on the bed with red circles under his eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "Xue Yi!"
Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly propped himself up on the bed, and bowed a little sluggishly: "Little boy." "I don't know when it was already dawning.
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing the respectful Xue Yi, Zhou Shang became furious instead, and pushed Xue Yi back on the bed with a push of both palms, "How did you become like this!"
Xue Yi sat on the bed weakly, and raised his head with a miserable smile: "Little boy, I am now a wasted person, and in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you to accompany you all over the mainland, and I am not qualified to call you by your name anymore." I'm sorry, boy, I let you down. ”
"Xue Yi, you cheer me up!" rushed to Xue Yi, Zhou Shang grabbed Xue Yi's collar, and now this decadent Xue Yi really broke Zhou Shang's heart. Xue Yi, who had always been calm and elegant before, turned out to be like this, how could he not be anxious?
"My father told me about your affairs after waking up from the deep meditation after awakening, and I didn't say a word, I just rushed over as fast as I could, just to comfort you. I thought that my coming would be a superfluous move, because you have always been the Xue Yi who is not surprised everywhere, and Xue Yi who will talk and laugh even if the sky falls. But when I came here, I saw an extremely decadent soft egg. Why? Why can't you accept reality and continue to live optimistically? What's wrong with being an ordinary person? What if you can't cultivate? I'm covering you! With me here, no one wants to touch my little brother! I'm telling you, don't want to slip away from me! No matter what happens to you in the future, I'll treat you as a brother! You cheer me up!"
A series of yells made Xue Yi's already chaotic brain go blank, but when he heard the sentence "No matter what happens to you in the future, I will treat you as a brother", tears still flowed involuntarily. This sentence made Xue Yi, who had been heartbroken from last night to now, see the first ray of light.
What Xue Yi didn't know was that it was this sentence that became the weakness of his life after that. And when he became famous and became famous on the mainland, Zhou Shang also became his counter-scale. Whenever he encounters a seemingly insurmountable threshold again, he will think of this sentence, and the sad and angry expression on his face that morning will appear in front of him. And this is, he will once again muster the courage to move forward. It's just because, no matter when, no matter what he becomes, there will still be someone in this world who will treat him as a brother.
"Zhou Shang, thank you-" Xue Yi hugged Zhou Shang, who was a head shorter than him but much stronger than him, and Xue Yi burst into tears. All the unwillingness, grievances and anger seemed to wet Zhou Shang's clothes with tears.
There is a saying in the world that when you are happy, you will get two happiness if you have someone to share with you, and when you are sad, you will let go of half of your sorrow. If there is still someone who is willing to be by your side no matter whether you are happy or sad, then you have not been abandoned by this world, and you are still a happy person. This is true of all people in the world. At this time, Xue Yi was the same.
Feeling Xue Yi's piercing sadness, Zhou Shang's eyes were also slightly red. He could also feel Xue Yi's feeling of grief greater than death. A person is always calm and indifferent, not because he has no joy, anger and sorrow, but because he buries his joy, anger and sorrow deep in his heart. When one day these once buried emotions are ignited by a fuse, all the accumulated emotions will explode together. This is the case with Xue Yi now. As the person who knew Xue Yi best, how could he not understand Xue Yi? Facing Xue Yi who was in that state just now, he could only speak hard and excited, and then know his feelings.
"Xue Yi, I'm here, cheer up. What are you afraid of if you can't cultivate? You won't die, and you won't lose a piece of meat. Just be a mortal and live well. You don't live for anyone in this world, you have to live for yourself, live well, live happily. ”
Letting go of Zhou Shang, Xue Yi seemed much calmer, wiped his eyes, and Xue Yi smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, my heart was really messed up just now." Makes you worried. Don't worry, I'll drop everything. It was the first time I came to this week and started my life anew. Perhaps, cultivating this path is not suitable for me in the first place. There are many paths in this world. If God blocks one of my paths, he will leave me one. I'll find my own way and start over. Thank you, Zhou Shang, for making me find myself again. ”
Seeing that Xue Yi was finally normal, Zhou Shangchang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the edge of Xue Yi's bed, and punched him hard: "That's right! This is the real Xue Yi." Ben Gongzi really didn't see the wrong person. What do you see here?"
As soon as Zhou Shang stretched out his hand, a small turquoise snake immediately came out of his sleeve and opened its big mouth, as if it was yawning, and its cute appearance made Zhou Shang laugh.
"Whoosh-" As soon as she saw Xue Yi, Xiaobi immediately came to her senses, and kindly jumped on Xue Yi's shoulder, rubbing his face as if flattering.
As soon as he saw Xiaobi, Xue Yi's heart instantly warmed. If Xue Yi trusted anyone else in the Zhou Mansion besides Zhou Shang, it was Xiaobi. Yes, even if he can't cultivate, he still has Xiaobi, Xiaobi will not choose to leave him because he is an ordinary person. Zhou Shang, Xiaobi, grandpa, and Hua Lao, who cares about him, is not alone!
"After you were injured that day, I was afraid that Xiaobi would be seen by them, so I kept taking it with me. This little guy is really a big stomach, and he ate nearly ten of my herbs in three days. Tsk, it's really distressing. Zhou Shang looked at Xiao Bi, who was close to Xue Yi, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Thank you. Xue Yi put Xiaobi on his shoulder and said with a smile.
"I heard from my father that you want to go home today, do you still want to go?"
Xue Yi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded emphatically: "Well, I'll leave immediately." I want to go back and see Grandpa. ”
"Do you need me to come with you?"
Xue Yi shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself." You don't have to worry about me, I'm just going back to see his old man. For some reason, this time I knew that I couldn't cultivate, and the first thing I thought of was to go back and see my grandfather. I'd like to stay at home for a few more days if I can. ”
"Okay, it doesn't matter, you can stay at home for a few days if you want, and you can come back whenever you want. The gate of this week's mansion, I see who dares not to let you in!"
"Well, now is not the time to talk about that. I want you to keep it a secret from me. For those rumors and rumors in the house, you also have to correct my name!"
"Don't worry, it's on me. Zhou Shang patted his chest and said. After a pause, as if he remembered something, Zhou Shang hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it into Xue Yi's hand, "Here are fifty gold coins, it's a little of my savings, if you want to go home, it's impossible to use it without money, just put it on your body first." I don't have to think about it, it doesn't matter, my dad will often give me money, and I'm just buying something weird, it's useless. I could have done more, but I spent a lot of money on Starlight Grass two days ago, and my father was angry with me for the past two days, so he didn't give me money. ”
"Zhou Shang, this-"
"Put it away. What's polite with me, they're all brothers, the money is nothing yours and mine, you can use what you give you, and I still have it when you run out. Your grandfather is getting older, and it shouldn't be easy to live, so it's good to improve your grandfather's life. ”
When Xue Yi heard this, he no longer shirked, silently put away the money, and buried this friendship in his heart.
"Then I'll go, in the morning, just in time for lunch, and I'll be on the way to buy some good things. Xue Yi raised his head and said.
"Okay, then I won't send it, my father is still very strict with me. You are careful on the road, if someone dares to bully you, you will report the name of this son. ”
"Definitely!"
............
In an attic of the Zhou Mansion, Hua Lao and the mansion lord stood quietly, looking at Xue Yi's figure in the morning fog in the distance, Hua Lao couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It's Shang'er's words that work for him. It seems that he has already thought about it. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yuntian's mouth and said.
"This poor child. Alas, for some reason, I don't think the fate of this child will sink there. Hua Lao's eyes were deep and he said softly.
Zhou Yuntian smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect Hua Lao to value him so much!"
"Who can say what the future holds?" said Hua Lao leisurely.
