Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Transformation of the Heart (One More Collection)

When a person's whole energy is focused on one thing, time will pass very quickly, just like Tang Yun who is immersed in cultivation, before he can return to his senses, spring has already arrived.

With the first thunder of the year, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and this year is not like last year, where there are not a few rains seen throughout the spring, this year there is obviously more rain than last year, and there will be a trickle of spring rain falling from time to time.

Moistened by the spring rains and the warm winds blowing from the south, the trees around the valley seem to have woken up from their slumber, and in just a few days, they have hung their buds all over the branches.

The climate is getting warmer day by day, and the creatures that have been hiding in their dwellings for months are coming out, and they need to replenish the nutrients they have lost due to wintering as soon as possible in this season of recovery, and they also need to fully show themselves in this season full of ambiguity in order to win the right to reproduce.

For Tang Yun in his previous life, every time he saw many male creatures in the animal world showing their talents in order to compete for the favor of females, he would always show a happy expression. But now, he is deeply troubled by the laws of nature for thousands of years.

His distress did not come from the slow condensation speed of the bladder acupoints, nor from the restlessness of his body after the arrival of spring, but from the two little snakes in front of him. These are two cobras with a length of nearly one and a half meters and dark brown stripes on their backs, which should be male cobras to be exact.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Tang Yun lay on a smooth big stone by the lake, looking at the spotted tiger not far away with admiring eyes, showing love to a female tiger who was smaller than it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to follow the big tiger to watch the love action blockbuster for free, or go back to continue his cultivation, two unusual breaths were detected by the keen scent perception cells on his snake letter.

This is the same kind of breath! Tang Yun quickly identified the source of these two breaths, which were cobras like him.

Sensing the aura of the same kind, Tang Yun immediately became nervous, and subconsciously coiled his body up, and his head was slightly erected, allowing himself to see further. It didn't take long for the two cobras in front of him to appear in front of him.

The two cobras that appeared almost at the same time were obviously full of hostility towards each other, even if they stood in front of Tang Yun, they were grinning their fangs and intimidating each other from time to time, or they were cautiously spitting snake letters at Tang Yun and trying to lean over.

They're courting!

Tang Yun quickly understood the movements of the two little snakes and the aura emanating from them! They regarded him as a target for courtship!

This discovery made Tang Yun feel that the clear sky seemed to become lightning and thunder in an instant, and the thunder rolled and roared down, shaking him and destroying his three views.

Looking at the two cobras that were getting closer and closer to him, Tang Yun only felt that the green tendons on his head jumped, and he finally suppressed the idea of killing these two little snakes, and then with a twitch of his tail, he pumped these two little snakes into the icy lake.

Looking at the little snake that kept fluttering in the lake, Tang Yun originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, these two little snakes were his own kind after all, if they died like this, it would really feel a little bad, so he observed on the stone for a while, and made sure that these two goods could swim, so he left with confidence.

After sending away the two small snakes that didn't have long eyes, Tang Yun felt that his mood was unprecedentedly low, and after returning to the cave where he lived, he fell to the ground softly, and even the daily tasks such as refining qi and blood and condensing true qi that he had to do every day were a little uninteresting.

Tang Yun was very depressed, very angry, and even more frightened.

His frustration, irritation, and even fear did not come from the two small snakes that suddenly appeared, but from his own body. When the two little snakes suddenly appeared, and diffused the breath of courtship to him, making courtship movements, at that moment, he suddenly had the idea of "do you want to try".

It was this thought that suddenly appeared in his mind that made Tang Yun feel panicked and scared. Yes, he was afraid, he was afraid that one day in the future, his soul would be assimilated by the body of this snake, he was afraid that one day he would take everything he used to be a human as a dream, a story, until he completely forgot the human named Tang Yun.

"No! If this continues, I'm afraid I'll really be assimilated, and at that time, I'm afraid I'll no longer be me! I have to think of a way to stop letting my body continue to affect my thinking!" Tang Yun muttered to himself.

In fact, Tang Yun also knew that as long as his willpower was firm enough, no matter what kind of changes his body had produced, his thinking would not be affected in any way. It's a pity that he didn't consider himself a strong-willed person in both worlds. And apart from willpower, the only way to weaken or even completely eliminate the influence of the body on the mind is faith.

The spirit of any intelligent life is extremely complex and miraculous, and among these countless complex thoughts, the most incomprehensible is the word faith.

In Tang Yun's understanding, the so-called faith is not just religious belief, or belief in a powerful being or a god. In his philosophy, faith is more of an expectation and attachment to the future.

Just like in the war years, countless martyrs threw their heads and spilled their blood, they ignored the fear of death, ignored the pain of their bodies, and ignored the ferocity of the enemy, it can be said that their hearts are full of faith, that is, the belief that the future of the country must be full of hope, and it is because of this faith that they can burst out with amazing power.

And what Tang Yun wants to do is to find his own hope, find his own persistence, or to use the words of the second generation, to find the meaning of his own existence, and to use the words that are more suitable for this Xianxia world, that is, to find his own way.

Tang Yun coiled his body in a circle, his chin rested on his soft belly, and for the first time, he didn't cultivate, but stayed quietly with his eyes closed. He was reminiscing, reminiscing about his time as a human being, and recalling his every move after crossing into a snake in this life.

In his previous life, he was born in an ordinary family, went to an ordinary school, had average grades, ordinary college, and his major was still ordinary, and it seemed that the word ordinary would always be with him until the end of his life. At that time, his only dream was to find a decent job after graduating from college, to be able to repay his parents for their nurturing grace over the years, nothing more.

However, life is always full of all kinds of accidents, Tang Yun, who went out of school, after years of hard work, finally got out of an industry that had nothing to do with his major, bought a car in a big city, bought a house, picked up his parents, and this amount of savings, not as good as a wealthy family, but better than most of his peers.

In this life, he woke up from the nightmare, and was already in that narrow snake egg, at that time he thought that he had been kidnapped and locked somewhere, and he tried his best to get out of that dark space, only to find that everything had become different.

He went from being a human being to a small snake like chopsticks, at the bottom of the food chain, as if any creature in this world could kill him. He was struggling at that time, just to be able to live.

Then he encountered two cultivators fighting near his hometown, and the battle was turned upside down, as if there had been an extremely strong earthquake, but the result was a shocking death. And Tang Yun himself, because of the death of these two cultivators, obtained the supreme qi refining technique, the technique that led him into the cultivation gate.

In the days that followed, he seemed to be cultivating hard all the time, but the purpose of his cultivation was just to make himself safer and easier to capture prey...... It's like a pure snake.

"Original...... My change started a long time ago, but I never noticed it. Tang Yun carefully recalled his past, but found that the change in his thinking pattern began very early, but he had not noticed it all along.

"To solve my problem, I first need to answer a question by myself, what do I want in this life and this life, what is my ideal?" Tang Yun said to himself in his heart and then closed his eyes and pondered.

This question is not easy to answer, some people may be able to open their mouths to say the answer, but how many people really regard what they say as the answer? People live in the world, in fact, most people do not know what they want, and they have long hidden their ideals in the deepest part of their hearts, and they don't bother to look at them.

Now Tang Yun needs to answer this question with his own heart, only by letting his heart get the answer, can he form beliefs and obsessions in his heart, and can he also get his thinking free from the interference of his body, and make himself a snake with a human soul, not just a snake with human memory.

What exactly do I want?

What do you want?

Tang Yun asked himself again and again, until he remembered the joy that erupted in his heart when he first saw the Supreme Qi Refining Technique, he still remembered that the reason why he was happy at that time was not because this Supreme Qi Refining Technique could bring him great strength, but because this exercise opened a door for him, a door to get rid of the fear of death.

This is a gate to eternal life!
