Chapter 40 (13)
The old man said: "Naturally not, and the old decay is not to persuade you to daydream. If you have a wish, you should put it into practice, whether you have achieved it or not, you only need to do your best, and you will finally be worthy of yourself. As for the impermanence of the world, it is not always possible for you to grasp it. At least there are some novelties in this world for you to explore. As I said earlier, when everything is at your fingertips, there will be no new feeling. ”
Li Yijie said: "If you have to do it, what if you exhaust your manpower but still can't? If the enemy you want to deal with is a monster, there is a difference between man and demon, do you have to get the strength to match him in order to clean him up? If you don't kill him, he will kill more people and bring the world into darkness, doesn't it matter?"
The old man was still indifferent to the fairy wind and bones, and said: "There is nothing in the world that must be done. Life and death, ups and downs, are all fate. Even if you can get rid of demons now, what if you wait until a hundred years from now? When your bones have turned to ashes, a new generation of evil forces will still be born in this world. People say that they will do everything to eradicate evil, but they don't know that this statement is ridiculous, and unlike cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, at least you can find the 'root'. But there is good and evil in the world, and there is good and evil, just like light and darkness, which complement each other. Therefore, wherever there are people, there must be evil, which can never be extinguished. You can save the people for a while, but how can you protect them from the wicked forever? The best way is to go with the flow and do nothing. ”
Li Yijie resolutely said: "No, powerlessness is one thing, and it is another thing to say if you don't do it." I can't control eternal life, at least as far as I can, that is, I will do my best for the people. Maybe it's because I'm in a position of responsibility that I see as a duty that I have to follow, but on the other hand, because I really want the world to be peaceful. 'But every man is according to his destiny', I hate this sentence the most. Only those who have given up on themselves will use this as an excuse to resign themselves to fate. Your own destiny should be in your own hands, not the ethereal so-called Heavenly Dao. The people around me, the people I can help, I will do my best to protect them and let them live a happy and worry-free life. Even if my strength is only a drop in the bucket. This is all my life's ideals and pursuits. ”
The old man's gaze never left Li Yijie's body, but the deep meaning in his eyes had changed, and he sighed: "Yes, you are different from those young people who were greedy for vanity in the past, you have a pair of bright and divine eyes, just like when I was young, my eyes also flashed with persistent pursuit like you, and there was a deep fear and a challenge to the world...... It's a pity that it took too much to make his eyes dusty and dull. With your faith, nothing is impossible. Seeing you is like seeing my life continue. In the twilight of my life, I can still get this fortunate thing, and God treats me well. ”
nodded with appreciative eyes, and then his expression was solemn, and he said: "I look at your cultivation, the internal force has formed a protective film in the whole body, even if there is a hidden weapon approaching the side, it will also be defended by itself, and it is in the best state." And you only treat me as an old man who is old and weak, and you will not be fully vigilant against me, so this protection will naturally always be with you. Well...... The internal force is very full, as if it can be filled in time at any time, and it is endless. With this skill, it is really extraordinary, and among the juniors on the rivers and lakes at the moment, it should be one of the best. Don't blame the old man for talking too much, I'm really curious, what kind of way can you be forced to be helpless?"
Li Yijie was shocked when he heard this. The depth of the internal force can only be known after handing over the hand, and he has no murderous form and outside, but he can make the old man accurately perceive the cultivation, so how profound is the other party's attainments? If he had a bad heart before, I am afraid that eight times out of ten times would be enough for him to die.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said: "The old man is very powerful, I am afraid that he is an immortal predecessor who lives in seclusion in the mountains." I wonder if you can go down to the mortal world and join me to kill this fang?" Then he remembered the old man's question, and replied with a wry smile: "I told you that he is a monster. ”
The old man was shocked, and his calm face finally changed a little, and said, "What...... What? Impossible! I have been staying here for many years, and none of those young people who have entered the cave have come out alive! Besides, in the past two years, few people have dared to come again, so how can there be a new monster? Is it ...... There is another entrance and exit in the cave, but I don't know it?" muttered to himself, and all he said was the word "impossible".
Li Yijie said: "Please be calm for a while. He didn't become a demon through blood exchange, but ...... Take the most extreme way, destroy the body with the world's most poisonous feelings, and then temper it through the heavenly fire to forge a new body...... Two months ago, the overseas Mauna Loa volcano erupted once......"
The old man was even more stunned, and said, "Unexpectedly...... This method is extremely rare except for the rumored god who has fallen into the demonic path, and it is extremely commendable to have the courage to jump into the magma! Not to mention, it is necessary to destroy the physical body in one step, and if it is not done well, the divine form will be destroyed, and there will be no chance of reincarnation......
Maybe for Jiang Yanchen, if he can't become a demon, he doesn't want to be reincarnated as an ordinary person. After all, the Seven Evil True Techniques had been destroyed, and no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to attain today's cultivation again.
Li Yijie sighed and said, "At that time, he didn't use sacrifices, and it is said that it had a considerable impact on the forming. However, his current strength has also reached the realm of blood and pestle with a wave of his hand...... "The old man exclaimed: "I didn't use sacrifices to condense my grievances, but I could still leave my soul?" What kind of obsession is this...... shocked to the extreme, but turned calm, and said: "It seems that there are still too many things in the world that I have not dabbled in." In this way, I am just a frog at the bottom of a well. ”
Li Yijie thought to himself, it sounds like there is a sacrifice here, and the relationship is not small. He is already so powerful now, if the seven of them really became sacrifices at the beginning, I am afraid that even if he wants to destroy the world, it will only be a gesture. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, the world is really so strange, it seems to have been doomed, but it can still set off drastic changes in the overturn. The old man muttered to himself: "If such a person can take the right path, I don't know what kind of amazing miracle he will achieve......
Li Yijie frowned and said: "It's a pity, he doesn't take the right path, what can he do?" couldn't help but make another request, and said: "The old man seems to have a little preference for martial arts, and he must be willing to fight with him." Could you please go down the mountain and get rid of this big evil?"
The old man woke up from his trance, shook his head, and said, "No, first, I have sworn that I will never go down the mountain again in this life. Second, listening to your description, I may not be his opponent. Sure enough, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world...... However, how can that person be called? The name of the master on the rivers and lakes, when the old man has nothing to do, he still likes to hear about it. It's a pity that I've been lonely for a long time, and few people are willing to talk to me. ”
Li Yijie was greatly disappointed, and no longer answered with the same enthusiasm as before, and said sullenly: "He proclaimed himself the Seven Evil Holy Monarchs." is the same age as me, but he has already done a lot of evil, and now he is the number one person in the rivers and lakes. ”
The old man whispered, "Seven Evil Holy Monarchs...... The Seven Evil Saints...... Alas, he is really old, and even the number one person in the rivers and lakes has never heard of it. ”
Seeing that Li Yijie showed an expectant look again, he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to hope more, the most you can do is to stop stopping you, but it is impossible to break your oath and go down the mountain to help." Alas, I don't know whether or not you can become a demon, and I don't know whether to expect you to succeed or fail. But either way, I'm afraid you're dead. Even if you can really kill that Seven Evil Saint Monarch, the world will not thank you for saving your life, and you will not complain?"
Li Yijie did not hesitate, and said word by word: "No complaints, no regrets." After thinking about it, he added: "Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that you will do nothing for the rest of your life and live in vain." The only thing I really can't let go of is my junior sister, who is also the woman I love the most in this life, and I'm sorry for her...... In order not to hinder her happiness, I had erased all her memories of me before leaving, so that she could live without worry. Frankly, from the time I made this decision to the time I stand here, I never thought I would ever live to see her again. When it comes to the consciousness of mortality, I am afraid that no one will implement it more thoroughly than me. Or, I believe in the 'power of the heart', and with my mind, I may not be able to defeat demonic erosion. If only I could gain strength and my consciousness would not be lost...... This is also wishful thinking. But as long as there is a 10% hope, we must also do 10% of our efforts, otherwise, there may not even be a little bit. ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you are determined, and I won't move you." I hope you will ask for more blessings, but the old man can't say some words of blessing against his heart. As he spoke, he shifted his steps and stepped aside. Li Yijie said: "Thank you, uncle." "No longer polite to him, between the two who treat each other sincerely, there is no need for too many words.
The old man turned his back to him, and before he approached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly said, "Yes, there is also a fate to get acquainted." The name of the young man, can you say that you know it with the old man?" Without waiting for him to speak, he said: "You have this heart and this responsibility, it is really not easy. The identity in the martial arts must also be one of the best. Even with your status, report it together, can it be successful?"
Li Yijie said: "This ...... The younger Li Yijie, thanks to everyone's love, has been in the position of the leader of the martial arts league for eight years...... "is already blushing with shame, after all, even if he is a little complacent as the "leader of the martial arts league", he has never boasted in front of his predecessors. The old man sighed: "Martial Arts Alliance Leader, well, Martial Arts Alliance Leader...... I wasn't mistaken about anyone. Many years ago, I was also a famous young swordsman like you, and I was also dedicated to the benefit of the people, and I was also the leader of the martial arts alliance...... But now, it's all gone, it's gone. ”
Li Yijie heard that he had also been the leader of the martial arts alliance, so he was still a fellow believer. Qi Dao: "Dare to ask the senior......" was about to ask him for his name, but the old man waved his hand back, obviously not talking to him anymore.
——————
Xuanshuang looked out the door, and still hadn't come back to his senses for a while. Turning his head and glancing at Nangong Xue, he looked at the teacup in her hand, clenched his fist on the table, and knocked it without a moment, and said angrily: "If you want me to be so difficult, how can you do it for me?" Hmph, it's the same in the palace, you always have to throw the dilemma to me to deal with...... It's just that I'm cheap, why would I be soft-hearted for a while, and I would agree to him?" almost wanted to turn around and leave, but I don't know if it was because of this matter, or because I had a little bit of a heart to watch the excitement, I was reluctant to leave, and I couldn't help but secretly scold myself for being cheap.
Not to mention that Nangong Xue has practiced internal force protection, although she fainted due to external attacks, she had a strong thought in her heart before, and this spiritual power should not be underestimated, and it can affect the spontaneous reaction in the body.
Originally, according to Li Yijie's prediction, that blow could make her unconscious for three or four hours, but because of this variable, just after an hour, Nangong Xue's consciousness had gradually recovered. The moment his eyes opened, he blurted out: "Senior brother!" This was all a subconscious reaction, and after listening to it, he recalled Li Yijie's ruthlessness before.
I saw myself lying on the ground, a window in front of me, a shade on the floor, and the warm sunlight that had previously disappeared without a trace. The burden that Li Yijie once put on the table is gone, and this time he can't deceive himself anymore, and tears are flowing violently.
