Chapter 144: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
However, even if the journey was safe and sound, Ding Zhengyi did not completely take it lightly because of this, and at this moment he still maintained his usual caution while thinking about his family.
The thrilling period more than half a year ago, although it was thrilling in the end, still made Ding Zhengyi feel palpitations, so now the closer he gets to the family's station, the more vigilant he becomes.
During this period of time, the two of them have not only changed in terms of face and clothing, but can almost be said to have changed three times a day, and they are unpredictable.
Even the cultivation that was deliberately exposed was controlled between the third and sixth layers of qi cultivation with the breathing technique, and they were constantly adjusting and changing.
Just like now, even in this empty mountain forest, when there is no one around, they all maintain a down-and-out dress, and they dare not have any slackness.
"Brother Yi, we are so cautious, are we a little too restrained, after all, within the range of dozens of miles around the family, even those most unscrupulous casual cultivators, I'm afraid they don't dare to do anything at will. ”
After simply eating a few bites of spiritual rice balls and stretching his slightly tired body, Ding Zhengping looked around in the middle of the boredom, opened his mouth several times, and forcibly swallowed it, but in the end he couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, touched his chin and muttered quietly.
Although Ding Zhengping has always obeyed Ding Zhengyi's various arrangements regardless of the reason, and it can almost be said that he has implemented them firmly without reservation, but what they are doing at the moment is obviously a little different from the usual, so it is reasonable for him to show a little confusion.
"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and the closer they are to success, the more careful they must be. ”
took over Ding Zhengping's words, and Ding Zhengyi explained in passing.
"You may never know when danger will occur and how it will be presented, but as long as you are well prepared, you will be able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, or even turn the crisis into safety, which is not a bad thing. ”
Then I saw Ding Zhengyi be silent for a moment, as if he was organizing the language, and then he slowly straightened his waist and continued to speak.
In fact, Ding Zhengping's questions did not surprise Ding Zhengyi at all.
And Ding Zhengyi is still quite satisfied with Ding Zhengping's ability to persist until now, and only then expressed his thoughts implicitly, after all, this is a lot of progress compared with his previous fast words.
"For the Xiuzhen family with a foundation building monk in charge, no matter how vicious the loose cultivation is, it is just a disease of scabies, and correspondingly, some forces with ulterior motives in the sect, in order to better survive in the cultivation realm, they act quite a little bit of good and evil, and even do all kinds of evil, these monks are our real henchmen. ”
Looking at Ding Zhengping, although he nodded with a sudden realization, there was still some disapproving expression on his face, Ding Zhengyi also knew that his empty preaching obviously did not play its due role, so he only paused for a moment, and had to reveal some hidden secrets that ordinary clansmen did not know.
"Is this true? I've heard some rumors about it before, but I always think it's groundless, or even completely nonsense. ”
Suddenly hearing such an explanation, Ding Zhengping's eyes couldn't help but widen, and the expression that he was a little relaxed just now disappeared, only to see him slowly turn his head, and his confused eyes looked directly at Ding Zhengyi's lips, as if he wanted to get a more definite answer from there.
Ding Zhengyi was not surprised by Ding Zhengping's reaction, from his point of view, those experiences back then, looking back now, are still quite incredible.
If it weren't for Ding Zhengyi's personal experience, it would be difficult for him to accept this kind of unreasonable bloody episode, so it would not be surprising that Ding Zhengping's current performance would not be surprising.
However, the current relationship between the sect and the Xiuzhen family is indeed strange and changeable, not only in the face of foreign races, but also in the face of foreign races, there are also calculations for resources and interests.
Even Ding Zhengyi himself was in it, and it was difficult to see through the essence of this series of events, so he didn't say anything more at this time, just sighed lightly and nodded slowly to Ding Zhengping.
"Shouldn't the Xuanshan Sect and a Xiuzhen family like us benefit from each other and work hand in hand? besides, with a behemoth like the Xuanshan Sect, it seems that they don't benefit much from calculating a small Xiuzhen family like ours...... And most importantly, in the face of absolute strength, we don't have much power to fight back!"
Seeing Ding Zhengyi's silent confirmation, Ding Zhengping, who had heard the secret for the first time, was obviously a little excited and uncontrollable, only to see him trembling his mouth, constantly talking to himself, and at the same time looking at the sky with his eyes blank, as if looking for the root cause of all this.
"Okay, the situation may not be as sinister as I thought, and now our cultivation and strength are not enough to deal with these difficult challenges, so we can only work hard to develop alone, hoping to have a fight in the future, at least to control our own destiny, and not drift with the wind like a fallen leaf!. ”
Seeing that Ding Zhengping, who was already open-minded and cheerful, looked like this, Ding Zhengyi also felt that it should be done in moderation and could not continue to exert pressure, otherwise it would only be in vain, so he deliberately coughed a few times, and then softly enlightened and encouraged two sentences.
In Ding Zhengyi's view, without the mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace, it is destined to be difficult to go far on the extremely difficult road of Xiuzhen.
However, everything is too much, and exercising the ability to bear it in the heart is not a one-time thing.
At this time, Ding Zhengyi was a little glad in his heart, he didn't speak freely about this matter to the rest of the people before, otherwise under the violent impact, it would inevitably disturb their state of mind and cause many negative effects on their cultivation.
Therefore, in the following time, Ding Zhengyi carefully organized the language again, and picked and chose to tell some open and secret battles between the sect and the family, which were also mixed with many of his own analyses and inferences, which slowly smoothed out the waves in Ding Zhengping's heart.
The work of a stick of incense passed slowly like this, I don't know if it was Ding Zhengping's own character, or Ding Zhengyi's proper response, anyway, judging from his appearance, he was already sitting upright at this time, with a firm will, and he almost didn't see anything unusual.
Seeing this scene, Ding Zhengyi didn't want to delay any longer, and after greeting Ding Zhengping, he immediately got up and patted the dust on the corner of his clothes, preparing to continue his final journey back to the family.
But just when Ding Zhengyi was full of ambition and was about to take steps, he suddenly found that in the faint mountains and forests in the distance, a few vaguely visible figures suddenly flashed.
At the same time, the other party's goal seemed to be very clear, and there was no mutual temptation like ordinary Sanxiu when they met in the wild, but they ran directly towards the position of the two of them.
This sudden accident made Ding Zhengyi, who had been prepared for a long time, stunned.
However, after a brief moment of stunnedness, he quickly came to his senses.
Time waits for no one, seeing that several figures in the distance are getting closer and closer, Ding Zhengyi didn't bother to remind Ding Zhengping to be careful, only to see him stand up in front, reach into his arms without saying anything, and take out all kinds of spiritual pressure magic weapons from the storage bag.
When this series of dazzling movements came to a complete halt, Ding Zhengyi not only held the armor-breaking cone and the "Binding Immortal Rope" in his hand, but even the "Thunder Fire Bead" that made people smell and change color was also tightly pinched between his fingers at this time, as if it was ready to be excited at any time.
Ding Zhengyi, who was on full alert and waiting for him, all his previous cautions and worries had disappeared, and at this moment, above his cold face, there was only that kind of indomitable determination.
