Yu Qiu chased Xiao Chunmian in the direction where Xiao Chunmian was leaving, but Xiao Chunmian's Yujian was very fast, and Yu Qiu didn't have any flying magic weapon, so after being delayed for a while, he couldn't survive. The distance is getting closer.
Yu Qiu took a deep breath to calm himself down. Xiao Chunmian's figure had long since left his field of vision, and now he had to calm down in order to try to capture some of the aura left by the other party.
They chased like this for about half a cup of tea, and Yu Qiu felt Xiao Chunmian suddenly stop.
Yu Qiu cheered up and was about to go all out.
Xiao Chunmian's aura instantly disappeared without a trace.
Yu Qiu was stunned.
He hurriedly rushed to the place where Xiao Chunmian disappeared, but when he arrived, he really couldn't find the other person no matter what. He finally didn't even know which direction Xiao Chunmian was running.
Yu Qiu stopped slowly in the air and landed on the ground.
He didn't feel any aura of fighting, nor did he feel any danger at all. It should be that Xiao Chunmian found him chasing after him and covered up his aura.
The cover is so clean, it should be specially prepared magic weapon or spell to restrain the breath, right? By the way, talismans can also be done, but talismans have a limited time limit, and the qi-containing talisman in the stage of refining the foundation and building a foundation can last perfectly for an hour and a half at most.
Yu Qiu pressed his forehead that was still hurting, found a tree stump, let himself sit down, and wanted to take a good rest.
But because of restlessness, it is really ineffective to recover those nearly dried up soul power.
Yu Qiu sat down, gradually bent his back, and grabbed his hair with both hands.
He couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in right now, frustrated? anger? sorrow? Still disappointed? Under these extremely negative emotions, Yu Qiuan waited quietly for an hour and a half, but got nothing.
Maybe Xiao Chunmian didn't use the Qi Containing Talisman, maybe Xiao Chunmian had traveled far away in this hour or so, anyway, Yu Qiu couldn't find him, no matter what.
Yu Qiu stood up from the tree stump, kicked away a stone at his feet, and wanted to curse, but he didn't know what to curse.
"Is that the case?" He gritted his teeth, pointed at the sky and asked, "Have you thought about it? Is this the way? You want this kind of result?"
Naturally no one responded.
After a long while, Yu Qiu lowered his fingers, "Okay." He said several times in a row, "Okay, okay, okay." When these words fell syllable by syllable, Yu Qiu finally gritted his teeth gradually. Calm, finally as calm as if there had been no waves.
He received a message from Xu Hong, and Xu Hong had pulled Gao Conghan back to Xuanyangzong first.
Then Yu Qiu remained silent for a while, finally shook his head slightly, and flew in the direction of Xuanyangzong.
Before leaving, he looked at the stake, showed a wry smile, and asked to himself: Is it over
what's over
But Yu Qiu couldn't tell.
Just like when he finally arrived at Xuanyangzong and heard that Xiao Chunmian hadn't come back, he couldn't explain why he knew it would happen, but he was still so disappointed.
Yu Qiu waited in the Xuanyang Sect for a few more days, and finally couldn't bear to ask Xu Hong to help introduce Xu Hong's Xiao Chunmian's common master—Jianxiu Zhao Lian.
"You don't have any news from him?" Zhao Lian looked careless, tilting his neck, "It's normal, I don't have any news from him either."
"Martial Uncle Zhao." Yu Qiu gritted his teeth, "Has he not contacted you? He has left the sect for so long without authorization, and he is... too worried for the sect."
"It is reasonable for disciples at this stage to go down the mountain to practice more." Zhao Lian smiled, "What is there to worry about? Every monk should be responsible for himself. As long as it is his own decision, others will control it." What are you doing so much? Even if he died outside, he asked for it himself."
Even if Yu Qiu knew that Zhao Lian's raising apprentices was like herding sheep, he was stunned to see that he really herded sheep like this.
In desperation, Yu Qiu had no choice but to resign first, and then think of another way.
At this time, Xiao Chunmian was actually not too far away from Xuanyangzong.
He's back to... the original place.
Yulian County.
Xiao Chunmian found the house that he had lived in for more than ten years, looked up at the strong word "Xiaofu" on the top of the house door, walked in as if no one else was there, and walked all the way to the room that once belonged to him. After climbing up to the roof, he untied the invisibility cloak he was wearing.
When he was first accepted as an apprentice by Zhao Lian, Zhao Lian asked him to pick a magic weapon, and he chose the invisible clothes.
Xiao Chunmian looked at the thin clothes in his hand and smiled wryly: He must have prepared for this day as early as that time.
He knew a long time ago that one day he would leave Yu Qiu so abruptly, and Yu Qiu would definitely look for him, and he must not be found. Because he already knew that Yu Qiu was his heart obstacle, which he had to solve if he wanted to build a foundation. But before that, how hard he had tried to avoid this day.
Xiao Chunmian stood up, walked on the roof, and looked at everything in Xiaofu.
He found his aunt. That crazy woman, at this moment, still looks the same as when Xiao Chunmian left. But the boy next to her, who was only ten years old back then, has grown up a lot in the past two years.
Xiao Chunsheng, the younger brother born to his aunt. He held her hand, and he was actually trying to teach her to practice calligraphy.
"Mother, look after me, this is how it's going to go."
"It's not like this, it's like this!"
"Oh, mother, you are so stupid!"
"If you are stupid, you are stupid! Anyway, you are stupid!" My aunt lost her temper like a child, throwing ink everywhere, "I won't learn! I won't learn!"
Chun Sheng, who was thrown all over Mo, jumped there anxiously for a long time, but after getting angry for a long time, he still walked forward, trying to coax his mother back together like a little adult.
Xiao Chunmian watched this scene from the roof, but the corner of his mouth pulled into a smile. It's not a smile moved by warmth, but a smile with narrowed eyes and joy from the heart.
In the evening, my father came back from the outside, hugged Chun Sheng, and praised him for his good performance today.
The whole family enjoyed themselves.
Xiao Chunmian has been watching from the roof.
Except for those servants who have been favored by Xiao Chunmian who occasionally say a word in the most remote corner, there is no trace in the house that can show that there was a so-called eldest son here, and even the room he once owned is piled up now. Full of clutter.
But Xiao Chunmian stayed in this home for several days, but felt comfortable physically and mentally every day.
This kind of joy can prove that his choice to leave was right, and it can remind him of what kind of person he used to be. He didn't care if anyone remembered him, he didn't really like anyone anyway.
Everything he did was just to make more people live a happier life.
This motive is very subtle, and it seems that many deeper motives can be excavated, such as wanting to see others change because of oneself, such as seeing others suffer from pain, such as hoping to get gratitude from others, but for Xiao Chunmian, this What the sentence represents is the most literal meaning.
Just like some people like to see other people's misfortune, Xiao Chunmian will feel the most direct pleasure because of other people's happiness.
So Xiao Chunmian was never a normal kind person, not even a normal person. He is an extremely selfish guy, but his selfishness is too weird. In the past, he had no hobbies, no interests, no people he liked, and no things he cared about. He only felt intense pleasure when he saw other people's happiness. For a long time, this was the only way he could experience pleasure. Just because of this, he will take the initiative to sacrifice everything in himself to make others happy-after all, he doesn't care.
He only works on making it easier for him to feel more pleasure.
For example, at this time, a carriage suddenly rolled over on the street outside, and a young child happened to be standing beside the carriage, looking at the shadow that instantly enveloped him, he was frightened and foolish, and didn't know how to avoid it at all. The child's mother was shopping at another stall, and when she saw this scene, she rushed over screaming, but it was too late.
Xiao Chunmian was wearing an invisibility cloak, sitting on the top of the wall, raising her hand slightly. Halfway down the carriage, the carriage suddenly stopped, as if it had hit a transparent wall, and then a gust of wind blew, blowing the carriage straight back.
The mother finally held her child in her arms, hugging her child into a ball and weeping with joy.
The coachman and the people sitting in the carriage were still in shock, and they felt very lucky when they came back to their senses.
No one knew that it was Xiao Chunmian who saved it all, but Xiao Chunmian felt extraordinarily happy, so happy that she almost hummed. The happiness that can only be felt after working hard, is so effortless after having power.
In the very beginning, didn't he pursue power for this reason!
The former Xiao Chunmian was so pure, so direct, and so heartless. Because this used to be his only source of happiness, his only pursuit. After becoming a sword cultivator who needs to move forward, he is like a fish in water, and his cultivation level is rising steadily.
Xiao Chunmian supported her chin with the back of her hand, and tilted her head to show the purest smile.
He has regained his original intention.
At the moment when this smile just appeared, it froze on his face again.
Because a figure flew over Yulian County.
"Chunmian!" Yu Qiu kept shouting in a voice that only monks could hear, "Chunmian! Are you here! Chunmian! Don't hide! I can feel it! The aura fluctuation just now is you! Chunmian! Come out! It's been so long! Enough is enough! Spring sleep..."
Xiao Chunmian gritted her teeth, and tightened her invisibility cloak even more tightly. The magic weapon Zhao Lian sent was so powerful that it was impossible for people below Ning Yuan to discover it.
Yu Qiu kept shouting for a long time until his voice became a little hoarse, and finally he calmed down.
He just hovered there, with an expression of disappointment or expectation on his face, and waited for a long time.
Xiao Chunmian lowered her head and didn't look at him, because she didn't dare to look.
"Ha..." Then Yu Qiu started laughing, "Haha..."
When Yu Qiu left with a low smile, Xiao Chunmian let go of his hands tightly gripped on the invisible clothes, and rubbed the sweat that oozed from his palms. He breathed a sigh of relief, but the joy that filled his heart before was gone.
- This is his heart barrier.
Xiao Chunmian tilted her head and smiled again, but it was a wry smile.
He has been pursuing strength with the purest motive all the way, but Yu Qiu's appearance unexpectedly split a fork in his path.
So Xiao Chunmian could not build a foundation.
He always knew why he couldn't build a foundation.
The existence of Yu Qiu, Xiao Chunmian's own longing for Qiu made his pursuit no longer pure, and thus became a huge and incomparable obstacle.
A sword cultivator cannot have two attachments, because a sword cultivator caught in a situation where he cannot make a choice will always stop.
—If you can use other methods to build the foundation, can you not have to give up this mental barrier? That's why Xiao Chunmian used to work so hard, trying to find those crooked ways, just to avoid walking on the right path of fighting against mental disorders. No matter what it is, as long as it can increase the chance of building a foundation a little bit. As long as he can build a foundation with this mental barrier, everything will be fine.
But repeated failures told him... the sword cultivator must learn to give up.
