Chapter 52: Escape
"Then is it possible to recover this strength?" Yan Haozi asked again.
"You can start practicing like a disciple who has just entered the path of subduing demons, and you will definitely recover. "Qianchong's words are more of a comfort, in fact, this is simply impossible, to enter the Demon Suppression Dao to practice the art of Demon Suppression, first of all, you must have spiritual power, and then look at the potential of your spiritual power to determine what kind of realm you can progress. But now that Gan Fei no longer has any spiritual power, letting him practice occult art from scratch is like asking a baby who has only recently been born to ride a horse and charge to kill the enemy. Even though Gan Fei is extremely talented, and a group of Demon Demon Dao Wizards will help him with all his might, then in a few decades, Gan Fei may be able to feel the world of ghosts, gods and demons like a psychic, but it is no longer possible to recreate the arrogant and indecisive demon slayer of the past. When Qianchong said this, it was nothing more than to give Gan Fei a false hope that he could look forward to, so that he would not be disillusioned under this shocking news.
"As long as it can recover, then what's there to worry about. Yan Haozi deliberately said in a relaxed tone, of course he knew in his heart that the truth was by no means as simple as Qianchong said, but he could also use this emotion to infect Gan Fei and make him happier.
Yan Haozi said as he handed the package in his hand to Gan Fei's hand: "Sister-in-law heard that you were injured, and she was very anxious, so she cooked a few dishes you like to eat, and I brought them to you." After all, your fat dick has saved his life now, which is always a good thing to congratulate. ”
"In life, eat and drink. I just like my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, the stewed meat is really amazing, I almost drool when I think about it. Gan Fei took the package and held it heavily in his hand, but he didn't mean to open it, "Then again, why did you come back again? Didn't you send the scholar surnamed Shi back to the hospital to treat him?"
"Healed, he is now a spiritual power, and he keeps saying that he wants to enter the demon path. Even if he has a conscience, he remembers your injuries and wants to rush back with me to take care of you. Yan Haozi also wanted to say something happy, "You don't know how bad the smell is when he uses the spiritual power on his body." ”
It's really ironic, Gan Fei thought to himself, the vulgar scholar he rescued had become a person with spiritual power, and he, the past of fighting the demon city alone, had become a history that would never be repeated, and he had become a mortal without any strength.
"What about others?" Guo Qihuai interjected, he was very sensitive to find that this topic actually stung Gan Fei, so he immediately planned to diverge.
"He can't fly...... At least he hasn't mastered the art of flying yet, and he's rushing here step by step at the mountain gate. And I flew over, much faster than him. In fact, it was Yan Haozi who was frightened by the dissipation of the demon spirit technique, and flew to see what was going on, while Shi Wei was under the guidance of Dehong and walked through the mountains.
Gan Fei was silent for a while, he didn't want to see Shi Ning. It's not that he hates him, but in this situation, if he sees a mortal with spiritual power appear, and then thinks of what happened to him, he feels that he will be jealous. Jealousy is a kind of tormenting inner emotion, sour and bitter, sometimes I wish I was dead, and sometimes I feel that it is better for the other party to die...... He was afraid that he would strangle the guy because of this jealousy and resentment, or rather, strangle himself.
"Dao Chief, I still want to thank you for saving my life, I have really tired you for the past ten days. Gan Fei suddenly sat down beside him, just looked at his Dexin Daoist with a look of pity and bowed deeply.
Dexin Taoist also saluted and relieved: "Senior Brother Gan doesn't have to see outside, the demon is in the same vein, and there is no distinction between each other." Senior Brother Gan still needs to recuperate for some time. ”
The Demon Warrior ...... Can I still be regarded as a demon subduer? Gan Fei thought bitterly, but said in his mouth: "Dao Chief, Senior Brother, let me say goodbye first!"
This sentence was a big surprise to everyone, and after being stunned, Qianchong asked: "The demon power is removed, you are not in good health, but where are you going?"
"Doesn't it mean that I can recover if I practice again? I always have to prove that I am still worthy of the title of a disciple of the Qianjia family, and from now on, until the time when I have the first demon in my hand, I am qualified to return to this courtyard and have to be listed on the door wall. It's like the first time I entered the Qianjia family with my master when I was a child, isn't it?
Gan Fei's words made Qianchong's voice suffocate again, this is Gan Fei used the family rules and ancestral teachings of the Qianmen to find a grand reason for himself, that's right, the disciples of the Qianjia family have always been responsible for people with spiritual power, and they are not ordinary spiritual powers. The soul testing test of Xiuxuan Valley was set up for this purpose, and it was precisely because of so many twists and turns that Dong Yao joined at that time. He just said that Gan Fei could recover, so Gan Fei used this reason to prove that he was still qualified to be listed under the Qianjia family, but it was understandable. But...... But it was clear that it was impossible for him to return to his old view, and Qian Chong suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
Gan Fei had already taken Qianchong's deep groan as a tacit acquiescence, and even grinned with a hint of relief: "My re-cultivation starts now." If I can, I don't want any fellow demons to follow, just rely on my own strength. He waved at the crowd, and before they could speak, he turned around and walked out.
Gan Fei's farewell seemed very abrupt, Guo Qihuai shouted, and was about to chase him out, Qianchong shook his hand and sighed: "I think at this moment, he doesn't want to see any person with spiritual power appear in front of him." Therefore, he hurried to say goodbye before Mr. Shi arrived. I know his strong and competitive temperament......"
"Ah, I shouldn't have mentioned the scholar with that surname. Yan Haozi suddenly regretted it.
"It's the same whether he mentions it or not, maybe it's better for him to leave now than to leave after meeting Mr. Shi. Let him go first, he needs time to mediate himself after such a sudden change, and when he understands it, he will naturally come back. ”
"This matter may be inappropriate...... Dexin Daoren said suddenly: "Senior Brother Gan said that he would return to your sect only after stabbing the demons, but with his current physique, wouldn't it be in vain to send himself to death when he encounters demons?"
"Senior brother, don't forget, he has no spiritual power now, so he wants to find demons, but there is no way out. What I mean is to let him be alone for a while, and slowly unravel himself, and when he can't find the demon, I will call him back again, and it is only right to ask him to practice the secret art of the Qianjia. Qianchong thought about it very carefully, Gan Fei's departure was not so much a competitive resentment as a lonely corner with a sad heart, and the said blade demon was an excuse to leave alone, just give him some time to get used to the current state. Of course, after all, Qianchong has a deep brotherly relationship, and he doesn't dare to really let Gan Fei wander the rivers and lakes alone, he is now an ordinary mortal, and many things can no longer be carried out in the same way as he was a demon slayer in the past, so Qianchong said to Yan Haozi again: "Haozi, you use the art of flying to follow him from a distance that he can't see, beware of accidents." ”
As soon as Yan Haozi agreed, he was about to turn around and come out, Dexin Daoist waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Gan just went out, aren't you being seen by him when you go out?" Poor Road is Longhu Shandong Road, and when the guest leaves, he must always send each other, and Poor Road will send Senior Brother Gan down the mountain, this is where the etiquette lies, and Senior Brother Gan will not be surprised. ”
Everyone said yes, Dexin Daoist was about to get up to say hello, when he saw Shi Kou walking in with a radiant spirit, before the person entered the door, the energetic voice had already come in: "Brother Gan, Brother Gan, Dao Chang, the younger brother is reincarnated as a human, and I came to thank ...... before I came to thank him" When he stood firm, he saw that everyone was stunned, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong?......" turned his head, didn't see Gan Fei, and asked: "Where is Brother Gan?"
"Didn't Mr. Shi see Senior Brother Gan go out when he came in?"
"No, Brother Gan is in good health, what are you going to do?" Shi Wei looked dazed.
※※※
When Gan Fei had just stepped out of the gate of the Shangqing Palace, he saw from a distance that Shi Wei was about to step on the stairs under the guidance of several Taoists, and he felt bitter in his heart, turned around to avoid it, and went down the mountain from the opposite direction.
When a few Taoists who had just finished the evening class saw Gan Fei, they recognized him as a disciple of the Qianjia family, but they only said that he was strolling around, and he just bowed, smiled and passed by Gan Fei.
Gan Fei was silent, walked through the corridor, bypassed the court steps, and walked step by step to the bottom of the sky by the starlight, only to hear the mountain wind fluttering, whirring for the sound, and the blue stream was murmuring, and it was sparkling. I don't know how long I walked, but I suddenly saw a huge platform in front of it, Gan Fei looked left and right, the sky was dark, and I couldn't see what this platform was really about, I could only see the houses on the side of the platform, but it was also dark, and only a few panes showed light.
Maybe it was the Taoist house of the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect, Gan Fei thought that most of the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect had not yet returned after the evening class, so there were many houses here but it was quiet.
Gan Fei didn't take the platform, he didn't want to alarm anyone, he just walked slowly past the edge of the platform, and at this moment, there was an intermittent chanting sound from the platform, which was transmitted into Gan Fei's ears by the mountain wind, which was extremely clear.
“...... Hold on to it, don't ...... Not as good as it is. Don't ...... It can be guaranteed for a long time. Golden Jade ...... Full house, Mo Zhi can keep. Rich and proud, self-...... ...... blame"
This is the words and phrases of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Gan Fei has heard of it, and also knows that this is the most respected classic of the Heavenly Master Sect, in the past, when the Heavenly Master taught a five-bucket rice road in Hanzhong, it was stipulated that the disciples of the five-bucket rice road should often recite and study Lao Tzu's five thousand texts, so it is normal to hear the words and sentences of the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu here. The voice was hoarse, but the words were clear, and the reason why I felt intermittent was because of the stammering between the words of the person who recited.
Gan Fei listened to it for a while, but felt that this voice was quite familiar, and when he looked up in the light of the stars and moon, he saw a Taoist sitting next to the incense burner on the side of the platform, reciting one by one, but it was not the crazy Taoist Deguang that he saw when he first came?
Gan Fei knew about the past of Daodaoguang, a disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect who practiced magic, but because he witnessed his senior brother being devoured by demons one by one in front of his eyes, he was so frightened that he went insane, which is really pitiful and regrettable. Especially thinking about it at this time, Gan Fei felt that he had something in common with this Deguang Dao person, they were all disciples of the Demon Dao, but they eventually became a waste person because of their own reasons, and then looked at Deguang's face reflected by the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel more sad about the same disease.
Strange to say, under the moonlight, Deguang's originally salivating and filthy face actually looked extremely cold, listening to him word by word, although he stammered, but also recited the scriptures word for word, and there was an unusual tranquility and piety on his face.
Gan Feizhao's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that almost all of Deguang at this time had a divine brilliance, and the sincere expression from the heart did not have the crazy appearance he saw that day.
“...... 埏埴 as a device, when it is not, there is ...... There is a tool for use. Dig the door to ...... Think of the room, when it is not, there is a room......"
The sound of chanting was still stumbling, but Gan Fei's heart was even more moved after hearing this verse. Everything has its use, but I feel sorry for myself for my current situation, and I see myself as a waste, but why did I come here? I always feel that I have become a waste, and I can't stand the pity and sympathy of others, but I have never thought that the person I feel pitiful is really pathetic, and since I feel that there is no pity, why should I care what others think of me? Just like this Deguang Taoist, we feel pity for his madness, but when he reads the scriptures, how can he think that he is a pathetic person? At this time, how could he not be a person who has a thorough heart?
Gan Fei looked at Deguang from afar, and the feeling of self-regret that he had once lamented slowly dissipated in this self-teaching.
(Press: 埏埴 is a tool, when it is not, there is a tool for use.) The original interpretation is that it is a vessel made of clay, and because of the hollow place, it has the function of this vessel; This is Lao Tzu's academic view of "being" and "nothing". Gan Fei is not a Taoist disciple, taking words out of context and misunderstanding the scriptures, because he has other things on his mind, and he touches the words and feels nostalgic. )
As if to prove that he was not a wasted person, Gan Fei deliberately forced himself to fall from the narrow and difficult place of the broken rocks in the mountain col when he continued to rush to the lower part of the mountain, just like he used to do, with the ability to walk on the ground in dangerous places.
But it was only in this way that Gan Fei realized how bad his current situation was, just turning over two ridge gravel, sweating, panting, sore hands and feet, blushing and heartbeat. Originally, the muscles and flesh were quite strong, but now it was a heavy burden, Gan Fei had to sit down and take a good rest, and then he found that the package he had been carrying in his hand was the delicacies made by his sister-in-law that Yan Haozi handed over to him.
Gan Fei opened the package, revealing a bamboo food box, and when he opened the lid of the food box, the first thing that came into his nose was the familiar aroma of braised pork.
My sister-in-law said that I love meat, but I didn't expect that I had become a really stupid fat person. Gamfer was hungry, and even though he was tired from the action, he didn't refuse the temptation to eat.
At least my appetite hasn't diminished in the slightest compared to what I used to. When Gan Fei ate all the delicacies in the food box, and was still a little reluctant to find the crumbs that had fallen on his body so that he could put them in his mouth, he thought to himself.
