Chapter 106: Heart
It’s over.
Rong Qing watched Shen Zhanyan's figure fly into the teleportation vortex and disappear directly.
The grand opening event has truly come to an end.
"Are you just going to let her go?" Fenghuang'er asked in a low voice from the side.
It is not difficult to understand that Da Si Ming will take action at the end of the year. She was very interested in the outside female cultivators. When she saw a cocoon of light flying out of Rong Qing's body, she naturally wanted to stop it with quick eyesight and quick hands.
And Rong Qing must have a reason for attacking. But... why did he let the opponent go after only one blow? Fenghuang'er felt that Rong Qing was fully capable of making up several spells in that short moment.
"Let her go." Rong Qing replied calmly, "Although her words are arrogant and I am very angry, there will be nothing good to gain after she returns."
Because Rong Qing has no soul, many of her creations are incomplete.
How good is Shen Zhanyan? Her broken soul is doomed, her lifespan will be greatly reduced, and her realm may continue to fall to the Qi refining stage. This is a situation that Shen Zhanyan must face. This situation is like a child sitting on a mountain of gold and silver... let alone using it, self-protection is a problem.
If Rong Qing kills Shen Zhanyan, it will be like slapping the Shen family in the face. Even if there is a boundary, it is very possible to get into trouble.
But she didn't kill... Shen Zhanyan, who kept falling into the realm, was too busy taking care of herself in the clan. She couldn't guarantee whether she could save her fortune, let alone cause trouble for Rong Qing.
Shen Zhanyan must have known the situation she was about to face, so she took revenge on Rong Qing before leaving. Because of this possibility... Shen Zhanyan will die extremely miserably in the near future.
Rong Qing took a few steps back with her hands behind her hands, then spun around and flew towards the teleportation vortex.
As Da Si passed through the whirlpool last at the end of Ming Dynasty, the whirlpool closed suddenly. This pure white space fell into silence, waiting for the next batch of arrivals after a long time. I don’t know what great blessings those who come at that time will get from here to the Forest of Ten Thousand Dharma Steles...
Three years later, there seems to be no special change in Shiraishi View.
Rong Qing looked at the quiet valley from a distance, protected by the restrictions she had set up. Before leaving, she killed people to establish her authority so that the surrounding sects would not dare to invade easily. Finally, she asked Hongfei to come and guard it.
She did everything she could think of.
Rong Qing lowered her body and dived down quickly. He quickly passed the restriction and flew to the square in front of Banri Building.
It was quiet in the valley. Rong Qing's spiritual consciousness swept over and found that Zhong Xiu and the others were still asleep.
Rong Qing had no intention of disturbing them, so she found a stone pier in the square and sat down.
Due to the end of Kaitian, the stone tablets on the sky gradually returned to the way they were when Rong Qing first came to Cangliu Continent. Block out the skylight tightly.
In the deep darkness, swarms of fireflies flew past in the distance, lighting up some colorful light in the eyes.
"Come back?" A figure appeared next to Rong Qing.
It was Hongfei.
Rong Qing nodded silently. There was no surprise, he had obviously known about her arrival for a long time.
"What are you going to do here?" Hongfei asked.
"Cangliuzhou... shouldn't stay for a long time. I will take them to Jing Country and leave a spiritual vein to Baishiguan so that they can practice in Jing Country."
"Spiritual veins." Hongfei sighed, "Senior Sister has really taken a lot of trouble for them." She added, "I think Senior Sister's aura is strong. It seems that she can become a god when she returns to the Sword Sect... But why don't you get along? Will Daozi go back together?"
When she saw Rong Qing coming alone, she guessed that Rong Qing had asked Chu Yuan to go back to Jianzong first.
A place where Rong Qing can take such careful care, even letting Hong Feidu come and sit in secretly. Obviously... there is someone Rong Qing values here.
Hongfei is not stupid. It's just that in some things, she prefers Rong Qing. So when Rong Qing wanted to entrust Baishi Guan to her, the first person she thought of was Hong Fei.
"You have to go back sooner or later anyway." Rong Qing pursed her lips and looked at Hong Fei, "As for transforming into a god... I still can't do it."
In Rong Qing's mind, a half-broken flower had no sense of vitality and scattered away like sand that could not be grasped in the hand.
"I failed to form a Taoist seed."
As soon as these words came out, Hongfei was really stunned.
"How could it be? If Daozi is here, he will definitely help you." "It's not his fault." Rong Qing waved her hand. "It's not my fault... but I have to bear the responsibility after all."
Rong Qing thought it would be difficult for her to say it. But when she actually said it, she felt a faint sense of relief.
She admitted that she did have a huge flaw in her understanding.
She didn't really care about it in the past...but when she really wanted to become a god, she realized that the lack of understanding would make her suffer so much.
But what can be done?
In the face of any failure, Rong Qing must digest and resolve it by herself. Nothing in this world goes as planned.
"I have to think about it... or think about it carefully." Rong Qing rarely showed an extremely tired look. Rubbing his eyebrows, he sat on the stone pier and looked into the distance.
Because it is inside the valley, the sky you can see is limited. There are stone tablets standing upside down. Even in the deep darkness, the word Cangliu is still extremely clear.
Although Rong Qing was silent, she had never been thinking so intensely in her heart as at this moment.
She thought a lot, and many words that she had just heard at first came to her mind.
Some...were right, and some, proved wrong.
She recalled what Master Chongji Sword Master said when she left the Sword Sect, saying that Rong Qing could take advantage of Chu Yuan to take a further step.
The next step is to become a god. It turned out that Rong Qing was quite dismissive of this sentence. Advancing to the state of transformation is not as simple as breaking through the golden elixir and Yuanying in the past. Resources are essentially useless.
When Sword Master Chongyu and Sword Master Zhongji relied on Rong Qing, it was also because of their physical constitution. I still have the seeds of the Tao, and I have already started on the path of the Tao.
And Rong Qing got the sword intention. She did not share much insight into the Tao, let alone develop Tao seeds.
Why does the Chongji Sword Master say that?
Could it be that he thought that Chu Yuan had a very high level of understanding and could easily go very far on the road? Just giving Rong Qing a little bit of the Dao insight, is it enough for Rong Qing to form the Dao seed?
This speculation seemed ridiculous, but Rong Qing thought about how respectful the forest guard in the Forest of Ten Thousand Fa Steles was to Chu Yuan. Suddenly I felt that this speculation was probably true.
Rong Qing thought for a long time.
Hongfei did not disturb her and stood aside silently.
It was not until later that Rong Qing slowly spoke out. Probably because he trusts Hong Fei more. The person she most wanted to talk to was Zhong Xiu, but Zhong Xiu was not suitable to listen to this difficult issue.
Hong Fei was both a teacher and a friend, but he was a better candidate to listen to her.
"I saw a story when I was a kid."
"It was said that a rabbit wanted to be as powerful as a lion, so with the help of an animal doctor, he got a set of lion's teeth."
"But it's useless to replace it with teeth. It doesn't have strong muscles or a huge body. What's more, it still has to run when faced with natural enemies."
"The answer to the story is that it doesn't have the heart of a lion."
"I used to think so." Rong Qing said lightly, "After all, even if you have the body of a lion but the heart of a rabbit inside, you will still be bullied to death in the dark jungle."
"Since I was very young, I have always wanted to have the heart of a lion. No matter what the pain and difficulties are, I have the strength to face everything in my heart."
"But is it really just a difference in heart?" Rong Qing stared at the light strips of fireflies flying leisurely across the sky. "The older I get, the more I realize that a lion is a lion and a rabbit is a rabbit. This is determined by identity. Even if a rabbit has the teeth of a lion and the heart of a lion, it will not match the virtues and will be of no use.”
"I like this world because if you keep practicing and improving your cultivation level, you can become a superior person. You no longer have to rely on others and can climb to higher places. But later, when I had to help the sword masters to break through, I I found that there is still a difference between a lion and a rabbit. This difference has always existed. Not only rabbits, but even lions... are probably working towards becoming dragons."
"There are too many things in the world that don't change according to your own mind. The setbacks I'm struggling with now may just be the beginning of my spiritual practice..."
"I have to say that being able to turn into a lion is indeed a great temptation for me. I want this opportunity so much..."
Rong Qing lowered her eyes and looked at the bottom of the valley. The door of one of the huts leaning against the rock wall and flower vines was opened. A woman held a wooden basin and yawned, lazily going to the back of the house to get water.
"Only in my mind... now I have to hesitate."
