The process of penance was a hundred times more difficult than Yang Yi had imagined, and he spent many days in the so-called first stage of Alda. The process of penance had been making no progress in the past few days, and just fighting the pain that could not be ignored had drained Yang Yi's full attention, and he could not do anything else.

The good thing is that Alda accompanies him throughout the whole process, no matter when Yang Yi opens his sweat-soaked eyelids, he can always see Alda's gentle and charitable eyes looking at him with concern, and the heavy care in his eyes is self-evident. This formed a kind of wordless encouragement, making Yang Yi know that he was not alone, and that this grandfather with a different surname was always with him.

In the past, all monks were lonely in their penances, silently enduring suffering, silently self-realizing. In order to maintain an undisturbed and silent environment, they either choose to escape the hustle and bustle of the world and enter the wilderness, or hide in underground caverns or small dark houses. They are accompanied only by an infinitely close to an environment of absolute tranquility and coarse grains, and even a short hunger strike. They have to rely on themselves for the whole process, and no one can tell them whether the final result will be biased.

Loneliness and pain can make or break a person, and these two things are a sharp and merciless double-edged sword in themselves. Human beings themselves are out-and-out social animals, living alone, loneliness and loneliness will inadvertently become poisons that corrode the mind, resulting in unexpected and expected development. There are usually only two such endings, and the monks either comprehend in silence or pervert in silence. Penance either creates an extraordinary monk or an evil demon in human form.

With Alda's company, the bad side is infinitely reduced. He has experienced penance, not only bypassing the misunderstandings of ascetics' understanding of asceticism, but also knowing what Yang Yi needs most in such a period. So he gave it silently, and didn't ask for anything in return, just caring for the junior with the mentality of an elder.

Other monks would hide in the dark and practice, but the place that Arda chose for Yang Yi was a sunny lawn. It's definitely not quiet at all, it's not dark at all, it's very bright. When the morning sun rises over the cliffs, the first rays of sunlight will surely shine on Yang Yi's face. Then it awakens all things, insects, birds, wild beasts in the distance roar high or low, and even the subtle sounds of leaves growing, grass buds outcropping, and flowers blooming and falling will be finely dissolved into it, weaving into a unique chorus of vitality of nature. Yang Yi cultivated in such a vigorous environment.

At this time, even Alda himself did not realize what infinite great positive significance he had in doing this, he just couldn't help but love his little grandson, give him the best, and create for him the best he could. As a result, the kind and benevolent old man fashioned a hero shrouded in shadows, lucky enough to avoid the birth of one of the most terrible demons.

Yang Yi also didn't mean this at this time, he only knew that when he was in pain, tired, and his body's tolerance reached the limit, when he opened his eyes, he would see Alda's old but still heroic figure. Sometimes the old man would wait by with food and drink, and when he saw him open his eyes, he would hand it over. And more often, when Yang Yi opened his eyes and opened his five senses, he would hear Arda's peaceful and powerful voice: "Almighty Lord, please give my child the strength to stick to his heart, heal the wounds of his heart, and heal his ** and soul." To that end, your faithful servant, Alda Sothkern, will provide you with all that is provided. Amen. ”

Usually Alda prays such prayers in a very low and slow voice. Yang Yi can hear every word clearly, and can clearly feel the care contained in every word. The old man's wrinkled face would be filled with a holiness that made him want to prostrate at his feet, and if the sun shone on the back of his head, it would be as if it had really sublimated a halo, great and kind, but not with an unapproachable majesty.

In this way, Yang Yi felt a kind of strength projected from Alda's face that prayed for him, and his body was filled, and he once again had strength. Yang Yi just smiled, moved in his arms, and closed his eyes again to carry out his penance. The five-hour penance was infinitely extended, sometimes six hours, sometimes seven or eight hours, so long that even Yang Yi himself was amazed at his ability to endure.

The last thing is usually Alda to wake Yang Yi up, proud of Yang Yi and distressed for Yang Yi and smiling at him: "Enough, child, too much will backfire." ”

Only then did Yang Yi stop, take off the penance ring, and cast a healing spell on the injury. ,

Every day, Alda would ask Yang Yi what he had realized today after his penance, and Yang Yi would always shake his head and say that he had not realized anything. And Alda would smile and comfort every time, reassuring Yang Yi not to worry.

It is also true that the process of penance is gradual, and it is impossible to see results in a short period of time. Yang Yi didn't feel it, but Alda did. That little by little growth from pain is slowly accumulating, and sooner or later it will change from quantitative to qualitative change. Isn't that exactly? This child has gone from being anxious and impatient on the first day to being able to achieve a short period of calm, which is growing up. The little changes made Alda feel very relieved, and he felt that this child was still an excellent baby even if he removed that inhuman ability.

After a while, Yang Yi himself felt a little progress in his penance. Sometimes when I close my eyes, an hour or more has passed when I open them again. During this time, he didn't feel pain, as if he was floating in an unknown time and space, which was not pleasant, but it didn't hurt or hurt, and he couldn't perceive the passage of time at all.

Feeling the progress, Yang Yi was greatly excited, and he cultivated more diligently and assiduously. What's more, with Alda's company, except for the pain on the **, penance is far less difficult than that of other monks.

From ancient times to the present, all monks have been hiding in the darkest and uninhabited corners silently to bear the double torment of the soul and **, no one cares about it, and no one comforts it. And Yang Yi is always accompanied by Alda, his soul is tired, and there are smiles and wordless encouragement waiting for him. When the body is tired, there is carefully cooked food and carefully prepared nutrient solution to keep by your side at any time. Compared to the three meals of other monks and the eternal quenching of thirst, Yang Yi's conditions are tantamount to sleeping in a presidential suite every day. Albeit...... To be honest, old Alda's cooking skills are really not on the table, but what he puts in his heart is always delicious. Not to mention that this old and young person is a pastor himself, and penance is only a means and not a result. Of course, the two priests, one old and one young, would not leave the wound alone, and the other monks still had to bear that kind of pain when they took off the penance ring, but this old and one young were all on the healing technique and the preparation of potions, and the scar could not be found with a microscope for a moment. Both Alda and Yang Yi believe that penance is only a means, not an end, and that cultivation must also be done one by one.
