Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The path of cultivation is full of tribulations, and even with the patient guidance of the best forerunners, there are still a considerable number of people who are unable to survive the calamities, and at least they stop moving forward, or at worst they go astray, and even lead to the tragedy of destroying the Dan.
Daomen's disciple Shen Shang was defeated in front of the catastrophe.
He is the eldest son of the Shen family, and since he was a child, he has shouldered the great expectations of his parents, and his lifelong cultivation path has already been properly designed: he grew up patiently in the first ten years, learned about the knowledge of Taoism, and knew the future path early, entered the Divine Peak at the age of eleven, returned to the Old Ancestor Peak at the age of fourteen, and condensed the qi into a pill within a month, from the inhalation of one to the seventh, every step was in order, and at the age of twenty, he was ready to move towards the swallowing flue Dao fruit, creating a miracle that was not big or small.
At this moment, the catastrophe came unexpectedly, and Shen Shang suddenly became disheartened and lost all confidence in the future. Shen Zhun and Yang Baozhen turned a cold eye to the plight of their eldest son, they had already provided a qiΔ help that the parents of the Daomen should give, and there was nothing they could do at this time, so they could only hope that Shen Shang would survive the catastrophe on his own as soon as possible.
That hope is more than 80 years.
"Can you understand this feeling?" Shen Shang dragged over the chair and sat down, changing his face again, as if the person standing in front of him was not a disciple who had just condensed the Dan, but a high-level Taoist priest who could answer questions and guide the maze at any time, "You are walking on a road, this is your first time on the road, but you have a clear understanding of every fork in the road, every turn, and every mountain river in front of you. You walk, walk, and finally cross a hurdle, for ordinary people, this is a good thing to celebrate, but for you, this is just the first of countless hills, and there are many more to come, and it is almost impossible to finish them all. And then you think, what's the point of going on like this? What's the difference between stopping early and stopping later?"
Xiaoqiu couldn't understand it, and he felt ridiculous that Shen Shang used "you" instead of "me" to talk about his problems. It seems that this reduces some of the sense of failure. So he said, "So what? I know that sooner or later I will die, but I will not wait to die from now on, one more step is one step, and if possible, I want to spread my legs and run all the way forward." β
Shen Shang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to really say something that moved him, and then he shook his head with a smile, "You still haven't understood, let's put it another way." For example, you and Qin Lingshuang. β
"What's wrong with me and her?" Xiaoqiu didn't like others to mention Fangfang, so her tone was a little stiff.
"Don't be embarrassed, Qin Lingshuang is your daughter-in-law, and more than half of Pang Shan knows it. Shen waved his hand indifferently.
The bald man crawled along Xiao Qiu's back, revealing two eyes from above his shoulders, revealing a ferocious expression like a beast, "Fang Fang is Brother Xiao Qiu's daughter-in-law, Qin Lingshuang is not." β
Shen Shang didn't pay attention to the bald man, "Have you thought about it?" You can only choose one of the fate and the path. If you choose a mortal fate, you can only cultivate to the realm of swallowing smoke, and if you want to take a step forward, you must cut the fate; if you choose the fate, you have to wait for dozens or even hundreds of years. And before that, they had to get married. Of course, Fan Yuan can be replaced by a fake love body, but can you wait? When you pour your love into another person, can you still think of Qin Lingshuang? Or can she still remember you? If you are a disciple of the Dao Sect like me. You will understand how illusory the 'fate' is, if you miss it, you will miss it, and time will pass. You won't find the feeling you feel like today. After understanding this qiΔ, can you still love Qin Lingshuang with peace of mind?"
No one has ever talked about the future of Xiaoqiu and Fangfang so bluntly, Xiaoqiu was difficult to answer for a while, and the bald man whispered in his ear: "Don't listen to liars, what do we care about Qin Lingshuang, Brother Xiaoqiu, you just need to marry Fangfang." β
"Fangfang is Qin Lingshuang, just like you are called Bald, also called Mu Songxuan. Xiaoqiu said.
"Oh. The bald man suddenly realized, "That's simpler, marry Fangfang when you are fatal, and marry Qin Lingshuang when you are on the Dao edge." β
Shen Shang laughed, his eyes were still staring at Mu Xingqiu, knowing that his words had hit the other party's heart, he was more than a hundred years old this year, and there was a sophisticated heart hidden under his childish face.
Xiaoqiu shrugged his shoulders and sat on the edge of the bed with a bald man, he had never told anyone about his plans for the future, this time he had to make an exception, "I like Fangfang, Fangfang likes me, if this feeling is so strong that we have to be together, then we will get married, if it is not so strong, then we will go our own way, as for the Dao edge after a long time, of course, it will be said then." When a sheep falls from a cliff, I wonder if it's roasted or stewed, and there's nothing on the cliff, so why bother with it?"
Shen Shang was stunned again, sat on the chair and thought for a while, "We are two types of people, and it has nothing to do with our background and status, we are two types of people who are diametrically opposed, I envy you very much, you may never encounter a catastrophe, just like Zuo Liuying, who is born to fall in love with anyone, and doesn't even need to think about mortal fate and Dao fate." β
"Zuo Liuying has a wife. Xiaoqiu reminded.
"Haha, the one called Phantom Moon? It seems that you don't know anything about Zuo Liuying. He is a genius who was born with a viviparous Dao root and began to practice before he was born, there are countless geniuses in the various Dao systems, but there are very few geniuses, this kind of person's thinking is completely different from you and me, his so-called wife is just a title, which shows that he is very interested in this imaginary woman, just like his interest in demon seeds and new spells, and your feelings for Qin Lingshuang are not similar at all. β
"We're talking about you, you've never survived the catastrophe. β
"It's all your fault, messing around. Shen Shang put the responsibility on Mu Xingqiu, sat on the chair and fell into deep thought, "Anyway, I haven't wanted to practice since I was twenty years old, I don't understand what is the point of working hard to practice, prolonging my life? What is the meaning of a life that has to be spent on cultivation for more than half of my time? I have already given up my cultivation, and I have to spend at least two or three hours a day thinking about it;
Shen Shang let out a long breath, but his childlike face showed a negative look that had gone through vicissitudes, "The most important thing is that I feel too tired, at first I just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but it has been more than eighty years, and I have not stood up, and the more I sit, the more comfortable I become." A Taoist priest who breathes seven times usually lives for one hundred and thirty or forty years, and until he dies, I can live for twenty or thirty years, which is simply a matter of an instant for a Taoist priest, but I am not in a hurry at all, and even feel that this is a relief. β
A bunch of such disciples in the office. It's just that they haven't Ning Dan yet, and they can't get the title of "Collapse", and they can't be as detailed as Shen Shang said.
Xiaoqiu looked at Shen Shang, and didn't regard him as a senior in his hundreds, this was a teenage little Taoist, "A Taoist priest can maintain his appearance at a certain age, why are you getting younger and younger?"
Shen Shang picked up the mirror on the table and looked at it for a while, and the bald man behind Xiaoqiu let out a series of threatening screams.
"I didn't mean to, I became smaller unconsciously, maybe I regret Ning Dan. Shen Shang held the mirror and couldn't put it down. The bald man's cry became louder and louder, "Looking back carefully, I miss the life before I entered the Cultivation God Peak the most. The disciples of the Daomen can see the hidden animals in the courtyard without opening their eyes, and I like to play with them very much, even now, which is probably the only similarity between me and Zuo Liuying. β
The bald man jumped out suddenly, and Xiao Qiu clutched a strand of his head, which still jumped a few feet away from his shoulder, and bared his teeth and shouted, "Mine! Don't touch my mirror!"
Shen Shang stood up and stretched the mirror in front of the bald man, "Stingy, as if I was going to rob you of the broken mirror." β
The bald man opens his mouth to bite the frame. Whoosh back behind Xiaoqiu, fixed the mirror with the other two wisps, smiled at it, and didn't care about the collapse anymore.
"Look. I wish I could be like him, interested in something, even willing to work hard for it. As long as I do this, maybe I will be able to survive the catastrophe and continue my cultivation. β
Shen Shang's tone was full of envy, "I said that I like animals, but the spirit beast died, I just regret it, if I change to Zuo Liuying, even if Tan Yang fell to the fire by himself, he will not let you meat-eating guys go." β
"It's just a spirit beast, more important than a disciple of Pang Mountain?"
"You don't understand, the important Cheng of the disciples is related to cultivation, ordinary disciples reach the realm of Fan Xia, and Daomen disciples obtain the Smoke Swallowing Dao Fruit, they can be regarded as important people, before this, hehe, there are less than six hundred spirit beasts in Pangshan, but there are one or two thousand disciples who are 'not important', which one do you say is important?"
Xiaoqiu still felt that people were important, but he didn't argue, "Now that you want to survive the catastrophe, what are you interested in? Demon Seed, or avenge your father?"
"Responsibility. Shen Shang's face changed so quickly that even Yan SΓΉ seemed to be joking, "The Daomen family also has the concept of an ordinary family, my father is here, I can be a child, he was taken away, and I have to come forward as the eldest son." β
"Shen Zhun is mistaken, I don't have a demon seed, and no one in Yelin Town has a demon seed, and it's the same if you come forward. β
"It's not important, the point is that I care about my status as the eldest son, this is something that has never happened in more than eighty years, maybe I can survive the catastrophe, so I have to do something to you, make you admit defeat, and convincingly admit the status of the Shen family. β
"Do it at any time, why bother talking such nonsense?" Xiaoqiu let go of the bald man's head and became on guard again.
"Because I have a good impression of you, really, I never thought you had a demon seed, you have the guts, enthusiasm, and courage to take responsibility, which are all very good, so I have to warn you in advance. And you're too weak now, and if revenge is too easy, you'll be much less helpful to the Tribulation. You've got to work hard, at least triple inhale, to be worthy of being my opponent. β
Xiao Qiu snorted, the Shen family was very strange, this Shen Shang originally looked normal, but now he has become the weirdest one, "Have you ever said that you are shameless? I would rather you come up and make a move, than say a bunch of nonsense that you don't have." β
"Shameless, hehe, I like that title, it's a little better than incompetence and waste. Well, just let me be a little more shameless. β
The two of them shot at the same time, but Shen Shang was already prepared, cast a protection spell in advance, and attacked at the same time after Xiaoqiu's Mei Xin Fist.
Xiao Qiu, who was on full guard, couldn't dodge, and a swirling and flying white light pierced through his heart, clinging to the bald man's edge, shattering the mirror he was admiring.
Shen Shang laughed and left, "If you don't die, hurry up and practice, I can't wait too long!"
