Chapter 33: Stagnation

Tell me that a path to success will lead me to my destination even if I lose my legs, and that it will work for me to achieve even if I risk my life. But, why, no one told me any of this.

Confused and impatient, Luo Yi couldn't calm down anymore. It has been three months since he returned to the third life, and during these three months, he has been working hard and doubling his cultivation, but he has not made the slightest progress. Ben had the illusion of returning home to meet the opportunity, but after all, he didn't encounter anything, and now it's even worse, stagnant.

When I was cultivating in the past, I could always clearly feel that my own energy was always accumulating and improving. Thinking that there will always be a day when the quantity changes to the qualitative change, I also comfort myself with the accumulation and the natural success. But it's good now, no matter how you cultivate, it's hard to make an inch, and you still can't feel the slightest sign of a breakthrough.

In the middle of the night, Luo Yi tossed and turned, so he simply put on his clothes and walked among the three worlds. He walked aimlessly, across the path, across the stone bridge, and under the female stone statue on the east side of the river. He looked up at the starry sky, then down at his own shadow, and then at the nearby leaves.

"You're here!" a voice came from the quiet night, like a greeting from a friend for many years.

"Who are you?" Luo Yi came back to his senses from his voice, obviously feeling that the sentence was said to himself, so he asked rhetorically. However, I couldn't wait for the other party's answer, and after a little while, I felt that I was hallucinating.

"You're not you anymore!" the voice sounded again, with a little regret.

Neutral voices are difficult to distinguish between genders and age, they come from all directions, and they cannot locate the source of the sound. Luo Yi said: "I am me!"

After that, falling into silence again, Luo Yi looked around, but did not find anything abnormal. After a while, the voice came again: "The time has not yet come. ”

"When has it not arrived, who are you?" Luo Yi asked, but he waited for a long time and did not wait for an answer.

The day slowly dawned, the voice never sounded again, Luo Yi gave up waiting, and immersed himself in his own problems again. He walked to a stop on the stone bridge, propped his hands on the guardrail, and watched the river flow slowly. It was almost an hour, and sometimes he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wu Zhijing slowly approached, and saw that Luo Yi's hair was slightly misty and his clothes were relatively wet, so she said, "What's the matter, I haven't slept all night?"

Luo Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I'm insomnia, so I came out for a walk, I don't want to, it's dawn so soon." ”

Wu Zhijing said: "Don't think about it so much, let's go, let's go to breakfast together, and after eating, we will cultivate." ”

Luo Yi didn't move, still looking at the flowing water in the river, and said, "I don't want to cultivate anymore, cultivation is meaningless to me now, it's like doing a very skillful thing repeatedly, and there will be no further progress." ”

Wu Zhijing said, "Then let's meditate and meditate together?"

"It's useless to feel, there are some things that really need to be broken through to be felt. After a moment of silence, Wu Zhijing was thinking about the next sentence, and Luo Yi continued: "You say, will I not be able to break through at all, or that my physique is not suitable for cultivation at all?"

"Not really. ”

"I don't think it's like it either, I'm really unwilling!" Luo Yi used his hand hard, propped up the guardrail, stood up straight, turned around and walked up.

"Where are you going?" Wu Zhijing watched as he walked in the opposite direction to breakfast.

"I don't know, go outside and take a walk!"

"I'll be with you. ”

Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "No, I want to walk alone." ”

Wu Zhijing watched his worried back slowly disappear, and she also showed an anxious look. In the end, she didn't go to breakfast, but returned to her cultivation dojo and went to find her master. Gu Xi was reading a book in the house, and when she heard Wu Zhijing coming, she slowly put down the book and looked at Wu Zhijing.

Wu Zhijing said: "Master, Luo Yi's current state is not right!"

Gu Xi said: "Well, it's normal for his cultivation to be stagnant and emotionally unstable, perhaps, this is also a kind of cultivation in his state of mind. ”

"His state of mind is already very good, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid that no matter how good his attitude is, he won't be able to resist it. ”

Gu Xi said helplessly: "This situation of him is also the first time since the records were recorded, and I don't know how to solve it!"

Wu Zhijing thought for a while and asked, "Can you pull out the seedlings and help him, and you inject power into his body and let him break through forcibly?"

"When the power that does not belong to him, or the power that surpasses his own is forcibly injected, it will break his tendons and veins, and break through some acupuncture points that cannot be broken, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Wu Zhijing said disappointedly: "Then there is no other way!"

Luo Yi walked aimlessly against the wind, and chaotic thoughts kept appearing in his heart, and gradually, his mood was difficult to calm down. Sometimes he ran frantically, sometimes he walked slowly, through the forest, through the night, without hunger, without tire.

Another five or six days passed, and before he knew it, he found himself on the top of a mountain. The sun had just gotten up before it clothered the white clouds in gold. He stood on a boulder jutting out of the mountain, looked into the distance, and said to himself, "Oh, I've actually arrived here! ”

Wangxiangtai is located on a high mountain not far from the third generation, the mountain is not very large, and one side is very steep. There is a boulder at the top of the mountain that juts out to the outside of the steep mountain, and this boulder is the so-called Wangxiang Terrace. I heard that standing on this, as long as the sky is blue and the sky is like washing, as long as you can see thousands of miles, you can see your hometown, which is why you get its name.

But today was different, the white clouds covered the sky in the distance, the wind blew up gusts of fog, and even the sun looked mild. It seemed to him to be a morning, quietly, he forgot what he had seen a second before, and gradually, he didn't know what he was thinking.

When Luo Yi turned around and was about to leave, he found that there was a man standing not far in front of him, staring at him upright, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't know when the other party was standing behind him. The man has long hair and loose hair, is dressed casually, gray-white clothes, is about 1.8 meters tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a face in his thirties.

Luo Yi asked vigilantly: "Who is the senior, and why do you keep standing behind me?"

The man said, "It's not so much that I've been standing behind you, it's that you've been standing in front of me." I'm not happy, but I want to ask you, why are you blocking my view?"

Luo Yi heard a slight smell of gunpowder, and looking at the other party's behavior, he could be sure that he was a cultivator: "The senior's words are a bit far-fetched, I am standing here first, why do you stand in the way of your scenery?"

The man's expression was serious, and he asked rhetorically, "Are you sure you arrived here first?"

Luo Yi was shocked when he heard this, indeed, he was too distracted when he came, and he didn't pay much attention to the way. And he didn't feel when the other party came, maybe he really stood here first and said, "I'm sorry, then I'll leave now." ”

The man smiled: "Hehe, it is easy to apologize, but I have never accepted other people's apologies." ”

Luo Yi was also a little angry, and when he met such an unreasonable person, he didn't want to be polite to him anymore, so he asked angrily: "Then what do you want?"

"I'm in a bad mood, maybe killing someone can make me happy. ”

"Maybe?" Luo Yi wanted to scold, but said without fear: "Maybe you can't do it?"

The man looked at him for a moment, then unleashed his momentum, and a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the man's body, blowing away the surrounding clouds and mist. Luo Yi felt as if a flood was coming at him, but fortunately, he was forced to stand firm, so he didn't fall and lose his temper. But I already knew in my heart that the disparity in strength between myself and the other party was not at all in the same order of magnitude.

The man smiled: "Hahaha, it's a bit imposing, but it's just a strong support." With my strength, there are only two kinds of people who can't detect the other party's skills, one is a superior person whose skill is much higher than mine, and the other is a mortal who has no skill. Now, I can't find out what you're capable of, so which one do you belong to?"

Luo Yi didn't answer, and the man laughed even more presumptuously: "Hahaha, I want to think about how to end your life." ”

"Isn't it a bit shameless for you to bully the small with the big?"

The man said, "You beg me, you beg me to let you go, maybe I will really let you go as soon as I am in a good mood." ”

"Don't you think about it. Luo Yi was furious.

"No, there is nothing shameless and shameless, but you are looking for death. The man said coldly.

Luo Yi was preparing to attack, but as soon as he moved, the man appeared in front of him at an invisible speed. With a light pat on Luo Yi's left shoulder, he turned around and faced the cliff.

The man put his hand on Luo Yi's back again and said, "Enjoy this fear of death." ”

The man exerted a little force, or he couldn't see his exertion at all, Luo Yi flew out like an arrow from the string, and flew more than a hundred meters away from Wangxiang Platform before he began to fall vertically.
