Chapter 75: Wind and Rain
The frustration of the failure of the breakthrough was nowhere to vent, and it happened to encounter the sneaky actions of the hostile forces, which made Ding Changming burn his anger at those provocateurs.
It's just that his posture of staring at him seems to be imposing, but in Ding Zhengyi's eyes, it seems very abrupt and unnatural.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't say, but under the influence of this momentum, Ding Zhengyi still couldn't help but close his eyes and keep his mind calm.
But as the patriarch in the quiet room became more and more coercive, this strange feeling became more and more obvious, and the solemn and quiet atmosphere also made Ding Zhengyi a little inexplicably depressed, which prompted him to open his eyes and look at Ding Changming, who was still silent.
At a glance, the patriarch's strange appearance was in full view, and Ding Zhengyi was surprised to find that Ding Changming was motionless at this time, his face was pale, his eyes were blank and empty, and he looked very wrong.
Before he had time to think about it, the patriarch's coercion and the heavy killing intent erupted again, instantly filling the entire cultivation retreat, Ding Zhengyi was the first to be affected, and he couldn't be distracted at all, it was like a small boat drifting in the vast ocean, drifting with the waves in the stormy waves.
That kind of pervasive oppression, thick and awe-inspiring, shrouded Ding Zhengyi at the moment, making it seem a little difficult for him to breathe.
However, Ding Zhengyi did not back down because he had seen some records in the classics.
In the face of the coercion of high-ranking monks, only weak-willed monks will retreat, and it is not surprising that even psychological shadows will occur, but in the eyes of monks with strong temperaments, this powerful coercion is just a whetstone, which can polish their perseverance more tenaciously.
It's just that the gap between ideals and reality is too big, and the gap between cultivation is simply impossible to surpass.
In the face of that kind of coercion and killing intent that was almost to the limit, although Ding Zhengyi tried his best to restrain himself, his face inevitably turned white, and his body seemed to be a little uncontrollable, trembling and shaking.
I don't know how long it has been, Ding Zhengyi only feels that his life is like a year, and just when his control over his consciousness has been so weak that it is a little difficult to continue, the coercion and killing intent in the cultivation meditation room suddenly faded as quickly as a tide.
Ding Zhengyi, who took two sharp breaths, coughed lightly twice, and then regained control of his body, but the moist feeling behind it still reminded him how difficult it was to hone his willpower.
didn't have time to reminisce about what he had just felt, Ding Zhengyi immediately mobilized some vitality and combed his whole body, and with the adjustment, the spiritual pleasure and physical comfort came one after another.
The comfort after the extreme pain caught Ding Zhengyi a little off guard, he couldn't help but let out a soft groan, and at the same time, his body involuntarily trembled a few times.
After quickly adapting to this feeling, Ding Zhengyi had the heart to look at the patriarch, only to see that he was still the same, but his face was a little more cloudy, and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, this state was obviously a little bad.
Although it was not clear what was going on for the time being, Ding Zhengyi understood that this was definitely not the time to disturb the patriarch, so he hurriedly calmed down to make sure that he did not make any noise, and then carefully observed Ding Changming's abnormality.
After half a cup of tea, under Ding Zhengyi's preoccupied gaze, the patriarch still did not move, and there was no change.
There is nothing he can do about it, he can only go with the flow.
After paying less attention to Ding Changming, Ding Zhengyi couldn't help but recall what the patriarch had just said when he had nothing to do.
From the moment he entered the door and saw the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi's doubts that he had been thinking about for a long time finally found the answer in that sentence, Ding Changming's abnormality turned out to be caused by his blockage in breaking through the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building and his unbalanced mentality.
Thanks to the classics he had read, Ding Zhengyi also knew that at the juncture of cultivating to be refined, even the most high-level monks would inevitably have some gains and losses, which involved whether their state of mind was perfect or not, and had nothing to do with the level of cultivation.
After Ding Changming failed to be promoted, he was already extremely disappointed and unstable, and at this time, he suddenly heard that there were hostile forces that wanted to be unfavorable to the family, which would inevitably make him angry and lose control.
Thinking of this, Ding Zhengyi couldn't help but turn pale, because according to the few records in the classics, he seemed to understand what kind of crisis Ding Changming was facing at this time.
Combined with the performance of the patriarch before and after, as well as the current state, Ding Zhengyi finally concluded that Ding Changming was caught in a disillusionment that made the monk talk about it and tremble when he heard it!
Going crazy usually occurs at the critical juncture of a monk's breakthrough, but if the mood swings after a promotion failure are too great, it is also very likely to explode.
However, if the monk goes mad, it will greatly damage his vitality at the least, or damage his soul at the worst, and he will not be able to weaken the influence with the help of external objects, but only whether the monk's own perseverance is strong enough.
Looking at Ding Changming, who seemed to be struggling in front of him, Ding Zhengyi raised his heart to his throat, at this time he was anxious, but helpless.
Helpless waiting is the most anxious.
It's really a house leak and it rains overnight, and the hostile forces outside the clan are still ready to move, but Ding Changming in the clan has fallen into such a situation, and this kind of internal and external troubles make Ding Zhengyi helpless in a short period of time.
Faced with such an unmanageable situation, although Ding Zhengyi was anxious, he did not panic, his mind was still flipping, hoping to find a way to break the situation.
Thinking of the provocative monks outside the clan, and then looking at the state of the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi seemed to have discovered something, and then he was suddenly shocked.
Now it seems that the target of those monks outside the clan may not only be themselves, but also very likely to be calculating Ding Changming.
Because attacking himself was just killing a hope for the Ding family, such a stirring up of the people and startling the snake was obviously trying to cover up.
If you really miss yourself, then you just need to do it secretly, and you don't know it, so why bother to make such a big battle.
And it was so easy to be discovered by the patrolling family monks, and the other party's performance was really unsatisfactory.
Through the analysis of these clues, Ding Zhengyi deduced that the purpose of the other party's actions was obviously because he judged the cultivation of the patriarch, and then used the news of his attack to try to disturb Ding Changming's state of mind, so that he went mad and his strength was hit hard.
As long as the head of the Ding family is frustrated because of this, the current good development trend of the Ding family will inevitably stagnate, which is obviously the ultimate goal of the opponent.
Without investing too much strength, he was able to get fruitful results, and such a subtle murder was an invisible plan, which made Ding Zhengyi feel a cold sweat on his forehead.
He also thought that the Wu family was played with by others, and they also made very few moves, only using that kind of interlocking stratagem, relying on the advantages of the authorities, and achieved great success.
This kind of planning method of cultivating the plank road in the open and secretly Chen Cang is exactly the same as what the Wu family has encountered, so the mastermind behind the scenes of dealing with the Ding family is about to come out, that is, the master and apprentice forces of the Xuanshan faction!
