Chapter 14: The Scorpion and the Mouse
It was late at night, Xiao Su'er who was lying on the bed couldn't sleep for a long time, I don't know why, Xiang Ye'er's arrival made Xiao Su'er's heart set off a trace of uncalm waves, she didn't know what was wrong with her, this boy who had just met for a short time seemed to have slowly entered her heart, seeing Qin He's lost look because she didn't see Xiang Ye'er, Xiao Su'er's heart couldn't help but feel sour, what's wrong with herself? Is it because you like that stupid boy?
Maybe he is too persistent and affectionate, Senior Brother Qin has a Yin and Yang spiritual root, and he will not be an ordinary person in the future, and Senior Brother Qin obviously likes Senior Sister Xiang, maybe he only treats himself as a sister. Thinking about it, Xiao Su'er suddenly realized something, and then her face became slightly hot.
"Xiao Su'er, what are you thinking nonsense, how did you become like this now...... , oops, ashamed...".
Xiao Su'er hurriedly stopped her messy thoughts, and then forcibly cleared the distractions in her heart and began to meditate and practice.
Just as Xiao Su'er slowly entered the state of cultivation, Xiao Lao and Qin He were still talking carefully.
"Qin He, the so-called art of refining the body, practicing is not only physical strength, but more importantly, one's own heart, if you want to refine the body, you must cultivate the mind."
"Cultivating the mind?".
Qin He was a little puzzled when he heard this, in his opinion, refining the body was originally the tempering of the body, and it didn't seem to have much to do with the state of mind.
Looking at Qin He's puzzled expression, Xiao Lao didn't feel strange, just slowly got up from the wooden shelf, paced and said:
"That's right, it's mind cultivation. As the so-called relationship arises from the heart, a person sees things, or understands, interprets, and even perceives things. It's all determined by his heart, and what kind of heart you use to observe the world will become what the world will become. Nowadays, many people who refine the body only think that there will be a bottleneck in the cultivation of qi, and the refining body only needs to temper their body hard, and there will be a breakthrough, in fact, this is the most fatal mistake.
Listening to Xiao Lao's words, Qin He seemed to understand a lot, refining the body is not only a physical cultivation, but also a mental state cultivation, whether it is qi cultivation or body refining, heart cultivation is a very important thing.
Seeing that Qin He seemed to have a comprehension, Xiao Lao couldn't help but nodded, Qin He's situation is quite special, he has an extremely anti-heaven spiritual root, if he has a strong body, then once he grows up, he will definitely be a powerful enough existence. He will definitely teach Qin He everything he has learned in his body, although Qin He already has a master, Xiao Lao still treats Qin He as his own disciple.
Looking at Qin He, Xiao Lao suddenly remembered his master, he was accepted as an apprentice by his master at the beginning, although he was a mortal, but the master still taught him a lot of things, how to cultivate qi, how to refine the body, and even how to practice healing, he didn't understand the master's approach at the time, he was already nearly half a hundred years old at that time, in addition to practicing medicine and healing, what is the use of cultivating qi and refining the body to himself? Now, looking at Qin He in front of him, Xiao Lao seemed to understand something, could it be that the master already knew that he would meet Qin He many years ago? If this is the case, it is really a little terrifying.
Recalling the previous incident, Xiao Lao seemed to understand something for a while, looking at Qin He in front of him, Xiao Lao suddenly said seriously:
"Qin He, the reunion between you and me can be regarded as a fate, since you have worshiped the sect master as a teacher, it is not good for me to accept you as an apprentice, since this is the case, from now on, don't call me Xiao Lao, just like Su Su, call me grandpa, hehe...".
Hearing Xiao Lao's words, Qin He was suddenly stunned, in his heart, Xiao Lao is like his own master, he respects him very much from the heart, since he came to Xiao Lao, he has kept his good Qin He in his heart, after his father's death, Qin He has been longing for the feeling of having the love of his relatives, and now, hearing Xiao Lao say this, Qin He feels extremely warm and moved in his heart, Xiao Lao has regarded himself as a relative, how can he live up to his heart.
"Grandpa".
With tears in his eyes, Qin He said without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehe, silly boy".
Xiao Lao wiped the tears from Qin He's eyes and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, I will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future, and I won't let anyone hurt you and my junior sister."
Qin He thought of his father, if he was strong enough, maybe his father would not have been killed by the beast for saving himself, now Qin He just wants to hurry up and cultivate, let himself become strong quickly, only if he becomes strong enough, maybe he can take his fate into his own hands.
From Qin He's tone, Xiao Lao seemed to hear his anxious psychology, it is good for a person to work hard to make himself strong, but if he is too anxious, it will often backfire, and if he wants to hurry, he will not reach this truth.
"He'er, don't be in a hurry about cultivation, you just opened the Five Gates Qi Mansion, and now you need to consolidate more, you must not break through again, laying a good foundation will be more beneficial to your cultivation in the future, otherwise, you are like a hollow tree, even if it grows taller, even if it is just a gust of strong wind, it will break and fall. Okay, it's not too early today, so you should go back and rest early, and tomorrow I will start your formal training."
Listening to Xiao Lao's words, Qin He nodded and returned to his house, recalling what happened to him today, Qin He's heart couldn't be calm for a long time, happy, surprised, moved, lost, and most importantly, he had another relative. Gradually, as some fragments slowly flashed in his mind, Qin He also unconsciously entered the dream fragrance.
... ...
As the night gets darker, some timid animals begin to crawl out of their nests, in fact, humans and animals need to survive, if you don't want to starve to death, you have to risk getting out of the nest and looking for food.
"Dad, I heard Xiang Ye'er say that Xiang Qing will let her practice in retreat recently, saying that it is to prepare for her to participate in the trial conference in a year's time, it is said that our Heavenly Saint Sect still has two places this time, I don't know who Xiang Qing will let go with Xiang Ye'er at that time."
In a closed secret room, Liu Yu whispered to his father Liu Quan.
"Hmph, even if Xiang Ye'er is allowed to go alone, Xiang Qing will not let you go with Xiang Ye'er, and besides, do you think the trial conference is really that good? Although every time you enter the trial land, all of them are talented, but every time you can come out of it safely, it is not enough to enter thirty percent, hmph! If you want to get the benefits that others can't get, you must have the consciousness of giving your life."
Liu Quan frowned, and saw through Liu Quan's thoughts at a glance.
Listening to Liu Quan's words, Liu Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and what he was thinking in his heart, his father could see it at a glance.
Looking at Liu Yu's fearful face, Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh, then put away a stern expression, and said to Liu Yu earnestly:
"Yu'er, Xiang Qing will not let you and his daughter enter the land of trials, in addition, you must not be lucky with Xiang Qing, because my father knows too many things, so he will not let us go easily."
Listening to Liu Quan's words, Liu Yu was slightly stunned, his father and Xiang Qing were incompatible, except for the competition for the position of the sect master back then, the rest had never heard his father mention it again, and now listening to his father say this, it seems that there are other hidden secrets.
"If it is just because of the competition for the sect master, it is not impossible for Xiang Qing to let us go, but Xiang Qing, a dog thief, in order to win Fang Yuhan's favor, did not hesitate to introduce Fang Yuhan into the nest of a snow toad, and when Fang Yuhan was about to be killed by the snow toad, Xiang Qing took action to rescue Fang Yuhan, Fang Yuhan was hit by the cold poison of the snow toad, Xiang Qing took this opportunity to take care of her by Fang Yuhan's side, and later, Fang Yuhan fell in love with Xiang Qing, a dog thief.
Later, Xiang Qing, a dog thief, went to the Yin-Yang Sect on the pretense of lending Fang Yuhan for treatment, on the surface to find a strong person in the current Dragon Realm to expel the cold poison for Fang Yuhan, but in fact, he went to the Yin-Yang Sect to seek the Yin-Yang Grass, the Yin-Yang Grass is the exclusive secret cultivation of the Yin-Yang Sect, which can improve the probability of breaking through the Present Dragon Realm, this Yin-Yang Grass is only a few trees a year for the Yin-Yang Sect, and if he doesn't come up with a big enough price, how could the Yin-Yang Sect give it to him for no reason, hmph, it's just stupid."
After Liu Quan finished speaking, he showed an extremely contemptuous expression, in his eyes, Xiang Qing seemed to be the most shameless and despicable villain in the world.
Listening to his father's words, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a burst of consternation, he didn't expect Xiang Qing to do such a thing that was inferior to a beast in order to get the position of sect master, in this way, let alone a trial conference, it is not easy to say whether Xiang Qing can let go of his father and himself, it seems that he is still too naïve to think about it. Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but show a look of fear.
"Yu'er, you don't have to worry too much, Elder Cheng and I have already planned, this dog thief's time is running out, when he breaks through the current dragon realm, it will be the day of his death, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I also invited some helpers from other sects, as long as Xiang Qing is killed at that time, I will be the master of this sect, hahaha..."
Seeing that his son seemed to be a little scared, Liu Quan comforted Liu Yu.
Seeing his father's laughing face, Liu Yu was also looking forward to it in his heart, he really hoped that this day would come soon, so that he would no longer have to endure Xiang Ye'er's princess-like temper, since he couldn't go to the place of trials, being a young sect master was also a good choice.
The dark night is often the most inscrutable moment, and those nights when you can't see your fingers often hide too many intrigues. These intrigues are like scorpions full of poison, hiding in an inconspicuous corner of the dark, when you slowly approach them in the dark, they will raise their tails with stingers, and stab your body defenselessly, of course, scorpions may sometimes look away, if it stabs a mouse, then it can only become a full meal in the belly of the mouse.
