Chapter 178: Mental Drain
Cao An's state is very strange, at this moment, he only left a part of his consciousness to control his body, his eyes looked a little sluggish, even his movements and reactions seemed to be a little sluggish than ordinary people, he took Li Dou'er back to the bamboo house, opened the bamboo door and walked into it, and then took out some dry food and water from the yellow gourd.
Mechanically and orderly placed it on the table in the room, neatly classified, Li Dou'er followed step by step on the side, did not speak, Cao An's appearance was a little infiltrating, he didn't dare to talk.
"Big brother is going to retreat and enlighten again, this time it may take a little longer, food and water for you to stay here, after a while, big brother will activate a puppet with you, when the big brother doesn't wake up, you have to listen to her in everything, if there is something she can't solve, she will wake me up."
"During this period, you should also practice seriously, and strive not to embarrass the old village chief when you return to Gulanzhou in the future."
Li Dou'er nodded solemnly, "Dou'er remembers, big brother." ”
At this moment, the bamboo door at the door sounded softly, and Cao An looked up, and a middle-aged man's face appeared at the door, with respect on his face.
"Chang Qing didn't mean to eavesdrop, but just happened to hear it, if the immortal chief wants to retreat, you might as well let me take care of this child, after all, Chang Qing has lived here for thousands of years, and he is very familiar with everything around him."
He also saw the situation in Cao An's consciousness, and then said: "That morning, when I was still hesitant and unable to make up my mind, it was this kid who gave me great courage, if it weren't for the hope and firmness I saw from him, Evergreen would not be where I am today, these are what Evergreen should do." ”
After a few short conversations, combined with the information he had learned from the consciousness of those people before, he had a rough judgment of Cao An's temperament, so Chang Qing didn't talk nonsense, just pointed out his benefits from Li Dou'er, and made Cao An not refuse again.
After a moment of deep consciousness, he manipulated his body and nodded.
patted Li Dou'er on the back, "It's called Uncle Chang." ”
"Hello Uncle Chang!"
"Evergreen Daoyou, these days, Dou'er will be handed over to you, between you and me, you still don't need to call me an immortal, in the next martial artist, I am not qualified to be called an immortal, it is better to be called a Taoist friend." After surviving the catastrophe of heaven and earth, Chang Qing has completed his transformation, and now he is difficult to even detect the demonic energy.
Cao An thought it was time to correct the title.
Chang Qing bowed in a solemn manner, "Okay, Childe." ”
Cao An, who was not in his thoughts, didn't notice the change in this title for a while, but felt that handing over Li Dou'er to Changqing was the best solution at the moment, holding the Nian Sword in one hand, and slowly walked into the courtyard, and as he stood still, the last trace of consciousness was also included in his mind.
In the depths of his consciousness, there are three scenes, more like the three images that Cao An's own brain has perfected, one of which is the Gulan people's mortal body, after years of evidence, finally achieved the epic achievement of pulling the interior scene into the sea of blood and reviving the blood river, in this video, there is no big scene, only the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, pain, and the belief of absolute success and victory that comes from it.
Pulling the interior scene into the real world sounds like a fantasy to anyone, and it is impossible, but under the witness of the long river of time, the efforts of ordinary people from generation to generation, that kind of victory seems to be taken for granted, and that belief seems to tell Cao An, what is there to wonder? What is there to hesitate about?
Isn't this a well-deserved victory?
The second image is Cao An himself, but it is not himself, in the void, from the clouds and mist condensed Cao An's half-cut body, like a giant, with a strange smile on his face, giving people a grotesque elegance, the ten fingers of both hands are flat in front of him, and hundreds of cloud silk threads hang down from his fingers, and the other end of the silk thread is connected to a flesh-and-blood Cao An.
With every slight shaking of muscles and fluctuations of fingers, the ten fingers controlled every move of Cao An on the ground, glancing and smiling, and his figure was sometimes as fluttering and agile as a spirit swallow, and sometimes as heavy and powerful as a giant elephant......
As for the third video, it is still evolving, and what appears in it is the catastrophe of heaven and earth that has just been witnessed before, but there is no evergreen shadow in it, and there is no huge evergreen tree that covers the sky and the sun, only Cao An himself, standing alone in the changes of heaven and earth, looking up and closing his eyes, experiencing the power that makes the creatures of heaven and earth palpitate from body to soul.
In the face of these changes in heaven and earth, it seems that everything in human power seems to be in vain, like an ant climbing on a high mountain, it is impossible to lift the whole mountain to the general despair, with the despair in this video, it directly affects the belief in the first video.
In the first video, people are no longer a single person, but a race, a group, but in this third video, it is not a race that has to face the world, but a single individual, Cao An himself, just like the road of martial arts, that belief can be used for reference, but it is of little significance.
Everything he has to face on this path of cultivation is his own, and he cannot fake the hands of others.
Martial arts practice, not in a hurry, but also in a hurry, not in a hurry, it gave Cao An enough time to lay a solid foundation for every step, step by step, with great perseverance and tenacity, to do the thing of the king's high-rise building. The urgency is that in this process, the help of outsiders can only be a complementary role, seizing the day, only this time, this life.
Cao An's mind was trapped in the third video, struggling to support, but there was no way, unable to break through itself, with the migration of time, the first image was also in front of the air of despair, gradually dissipated, dissipated in Cao An's sea of consciousness, only the belief in the decisive victory could not be eliminated, turned into a streamer, escaped from the image that was about to dissipate.
collided in Cao An's consciousness, and finally shot into the third image as if he had determined the target, and submerged into Cao An's eyebrows.
Cao An fell into the deep struggle of consciousness, and in the outside world, it has been quietly passed half a month, in the past half a month, Chang Qing has regarded himself as Cao An's servant, taking care of Li Douer's life, Li Dou'er is young and innocent, his mind is not so complicated, in Changqing's body, he feels the kind of care given by Chang Qing to the old people in the village.
After a few short days of running-in, the relationship between the two became very close.
This day is the sixteenth day of Cao An's hard thinking, his face, compared to before, has completely withered, like a fugitive who ran out of the famine years, his face is clear, his face is not red, even his body shape is recognizable to the naked eye, and now in this clothes, it is estimated that there is a big skeleton left, and there are not many muscles.
From his white hands like eagle claws, you can see one or two, this change, Chang Qing saw it in his eyes, but he was helpless, they couldn't help, they couldn't do anything, and now everything can only depend on whether Cao An can wake up and realize himself from that hard thinking.
There is no other way.
"Uncle Chang, can't we wake up the big brother? At least let him have a meal, rest well, and replenish his physical strength, so that he can think better, and if he continues like this......" Li Dou'er's face was worried, and he was more afraid, he was afraid that Cao An would completely leave him like those uncles in the village.
Chang Qing sighed and shook his head, "These uselessness, you will know in the future, the cultivation realm has reached the stage of Gongzi, even if he does not drink or eat for more than a month, it will not have any effect on him, his physical body has been able to absorb the energy needed from heaven and earth on its own to maintain the needs of the body." ”
"The way he is now, not because he hasn't eaten, he hasn't rested, but because his mind is too exhausted, unless he thinks about it himself, thinks it clearly, and after he comes back to his senses, everything will naturally be fine, but if we interrupt these things rashly, it will be harmful to him, and even irreversible damage to him."
Chang Qing was silent for a long time, "You have to believe in Childe, believe in your big brother!" He is not an ordinary person, and he will come out after all. ”
