Chapter 147: I Know What Pain Is
"Zhuo Qingtan" is not only a benchmark of moral model, but also a monument that can be looked up to and chased by the younger generation of disciples of Xianmen.
She must be extraordinary, and her character must be blameless.
ββThis is the veritable head of the four immortal gates, the head of the Duanxu Palace, and the spiritual leader of a qualified future generation of the hundred schools of immortal gates.
Although most of the younger generation of Xianmen disciples respected Zhuo Qingtan, loved her, and looked up to her.
But in the same way, people like her are destined to suffer a lifetime.
Because characters like them can't make mistakes, and once they make any mistakes, they may face the interrogation that Qianfu refers to.
Just like the same wicked man who has done all kinds of evil deeds, if there is a good act, it is the prodigal son who will not change his money;
And if a perfect person who has done good deeds has an unintentional dereliction of duty, then he will lose the hearts of the people and lose his reputation.
Therefore, when Zhuo Qingtan was implicated in the breaking of the Juntian Cliff Secret Realm Enchantment among the Four Secret Realm Enchantments, because Juntian Cliff still had a trace of the fierce power exposed by Xie Yuci, when she was suspected of colluding with the evil demon, even Kang Cen, the disciple in charge of the Duanxu Palace's Palm Hall, couldn't even accept it.
They can't accept that the "completeness" that they have looked up to, loved, revered, and trusted for many years will actually be covered with dust!
Because it proves that their faith has been "tarnished" over the years, and they even feel that their faith has been "betrayed"!
Zhuo Qingtan heard Xie Yuci's ridicule, but he was not angry.
She just smiled naturally, as if she knew everything and didn't care much about everything.
Then, she said softly: "Most mortals are born with it, and they can't escape the shackles of these seven emotions, six desires, six delusions and eight sufferings.
They expect something from me, so they can't accept that I have flaws. This should be considered human nature. In fact, people live for a lifetime, and they cannot be understood by everyone. β
Xie Yuci sneered lightly: "So, I don't like mortals, and I hate mortals." β
When Zhuo Qingtan heard this, the hand that picked up the wine jug and poured wine for him suddenly paused in mid-air.
She paused for a moment before continuing her previous movements.
In the sound of a gentle drink falling from the glass, she suddenly asked softly, "Thank you, why don't you like mortals?" β
She clearly remembered that whether it was Xie Yuci tens of thousands of years ago, or Jun Farewell 10,000 years ago, she was full of curiosity and kindness to mortals.
ββHe likes the fireworks of the mortal world, likes to tinker with the delicate and small handicrafts in the mortal world, and likes to travel to the mortal world and watch the infinite customs of the four seas of Kyushu.
So, why did he say at this time. I don't like mortals, or even hate mortals?
Xie Yuci raised the wine glass, drank it all, and then pinched the wine glass with one hand, and his eyes fell on it fixedly.
"Maybe I've been imprisoned here for too many years. If 'Zhuo Xianchang' is forced to stay in one place for many years one day, he will never like it again. β
Zhuo Qingtan was silent for a long moment, and then suddenly raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
She drank very quickly, and then quietly put down the wine cup, then picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass.
Xie Yuci frowned at her.
"It's noon, you drink slowly."
It's noon, and it's just drunk.
But this is the island in the middle of Lake Roselle, which is humid and warm and steamy.
If she drank too much wine, was smoked by the water vapor and sweated slightly, and later took a boat to leave Roselle Lake and return to Changchun City, maybe the wind would blow and catch a cold.
ββAfter tasting wine on a moonlit night in Yanzhou Mansion last time, Zhuo Qingtan dragged out the "grand occasion" of being sick for more than half a month, which really left Xie Yuci with very bad memories.
Zhuo Qingtan put a few glasses of wine into his stomach, and two pieces of flying red flew on his face very quickly.
However, it seems that her mood has also improved a little because of the slight drunkenness after drinking.
She stretched out her left hand with a smile and handed the hand wearing the token of the head of the Duanxu Palace, "Chaoqin", to him, and then said with a smile:
"If 'Xie Xianjun' is afraid that I will be drunk and unformed, why don't you lend me some spiritual power to use? In this way, I can urge my spiritual power to suppress the smell of alcohol, and I will not get drunk and cause chaos to others. β
Xie Yuci silently looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, the jasper-colored ring that looked extremely ordinary and simple, was very prominent on her slender white hand.
One white and one blue reflect each other, and it is actually very beautiful.
He found that Zhuo Qingtan seemed to be more lively than usual after every drink.
For a moment, he turned his head expressionlessly.
"If you want to deceive my spiritual power, you want to be beautiful."
She tilted her head slightly to look at him, and there was a warm smile in her eyes.
"What? Isn't it okay to just do a little bit? 'Xie Xianjun', you won't be so stingy, right? β
Xie Yuci didn't look at her eyes, just silently raised his hand to pick up a plate of fried green bamboo shoots on the table, put it in her bowl, and then said lightly:
"Eat something and drink less, and you won't get drunk. Don't think I don't know, that Raushzi magic weapon of yours is not harmless, and when absorbing the stored spiritual power, it is harmful to the heart, right? β
The last time she was seriously injured when she cast a spell to block his blow at the Moon Worship Festival temple fair in Yanzhou City, he had also checked her pulse when she was unconscious.
He had obviously withdrawn most of his divine power, but she was still seriously injured to the point that her heart was weak and intermittent, and this was definitely not caused by that blow alone.
At that time, he vaguely guessed that there must be something wrong with the magic weapon that could help her absorb spiritual power, and it would damage people's hearts when used.
Otherwise, if this "Chaoqin" is harmless to the human body and has no drawbacks, how powerful is such an artifact to help people always have aura available when fighting the Fa?
Why did the head of the Duanxu Palace in the past few use this thing?
Zhuo Qingtan smiled and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." β
Xie Yuci sneered and shook his head: "Forget it, are you hiding less from me?" Before the last Moon Worship Festival temple fair, I had never found out that your magic weapon would actually impact your heart when it absorbed spiritual power. You can really endure it, and you hide it deep enough, and you don't show any traces. β
Zhuo Qingtan picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for himself and Xie Yuci again, and then held the wine glass and said with a smile:
"It's not intentional deception, but it really doesn't hurt."
Xie Yuci stretched out his hand to block her toast, frowned and said, "Eat the dishes in the bowl first." β
The power in his hands does not hurt, but it cannot be refused.
Zhuo Qingtan sighed, had no choice but to put down the wine glass, picked up the two green bamboo shoots that Xie Yuci had placed in her bowl earlier, and ate them quietly.
Xie Yuci silently looked at her rare meekness at this time, and suddenly said: "Actually, it's not that it doesn't hurt, but that it hurts too much." If you want me to say, you're 'stupid' in pain. β
In the front, there was the pain of being burned by the fire in the center of the earth and not healing, and then there was the pain of grinding eight bone nails on both shoulders, elbows, ribs, and knees.
So, even the pain of heart damage when using "Chaoqin" seems to be so insignificant, right?
Zhuo Qingtan had obediently finished eating the two green bamboo shoots in the bowl.
Hearing this, she suddenly lowered her head and smiled, then put down her chopsticks.
Xu was afraid that Xie Yuci would stop her again, so this time, she quickly raised the wine glass that had just been filled with wine, raised her head and drank it all.
Then he gently put down the wine cup, and looked at Xie Yuci with a warm and watery gaze, and his eyes seemed to be soaked in wine.
Xie Yuci was slightly stunned, and for a while he didn't know whether she was drunk or sober.
The clouds and mist on the island in the middle of the lake and the steaming water vapor make the autumn breeze seem to turn into a gentle and gentle spring breeze.
Everything on the island seemed to slow down, quiet, and soothing.
Zhuo Qingtan looked at Xie Yuci quietly for a while, and her eyes that were suddenly like ink landscape paintings seemed to be forever extinguished.
Then, suddenly, she smiled faintly at him.
"Thank you, I'm not stupid, I know what pain is."
