Xu Lei followed closely behind Ling Qingyi, secretly admiring Ling Qingyi's graceful back. Thinking of Ling Qingyi's four-star nine-section water whip yesterday, he immediately looked away and silently recited the Capricorn Tantric Sutra.
, but within two minutes, his eyes uncontrollably returned to the woman's back.
"Have you seen enough?" Ling Qingyi's back always seemed to have eyes.
"Uh...I..." Xu Lei stuttered, not knowing how to defend himself.
Ling Qingyi suddenly stopped and said something that Xu Lei found extremely incredible.
"Have you ever thought about chasing me? Then you won't have to just look at me."
Xu Lei was stunned. He was so nervous that he clenched his hands with both hands. He gritted his teeth and set his heart aside. With the mentality that he would be beaten to death by the nine-section water whip, he squeezed out one word from between his teeth, "Think!"
Ling Qingyi did not turn around and give herself a whip as Xu Lei expected, but looked up at the top of the mountain and seemed to be talking to herself: "When I was at the foot of the mountain just now, I felt that the top of this mountain was
Towering into the clouds and out of reach, but now when I look at the top of the mountain from the mountainside, I feel that the top of the mountain is no longer so far away. I think when I stand on the top of the mountain later, I will feel that this seemingly
The unreachable mountain top is nothing more than that.”
Xu Lei said with some frustration: "But you are not a mountain. If you were a mountain, I would climb to the top of the mountain no matter how high it is."
Ling Qingyi turned around and looked at Xu Lei, "Really? There are some mountains on this continent that would take ordinary people three to five years to climb even if they work around the clock."
Xu Lei gritted his teeth and said firmly: "As long as there is something I want on the top of the mountain, I will climb it even if it takes ten or eight years!"
Ling Qingyi said nothing, but turned around with a knowing smile on her face and continued walking towards the top of the mountain step by step.
In front of Ling Qingyi, Xu Lei is still just a toad at the bottom of the well, but Xu Lei is not stupid. He just regards this episode as a dispensable pastime for women.
If you take some unrealistic things too seriously, you are really a fool, and in the end it will just bring you some unnecessary negative emotions.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.
Ling Qingyi stood on a protruding rock on the edge of the cliff, her blue gauze skirt gently swaying with the breeze, and the soft sunlight at dusk outlined her impeccable silhouette. She was astonished!
Xu Lei stood behind her and couldn't help but be fascinated.
After a while, Ling Qingyi said, "Come here and stand next to me."
Xu Lei walked forward and stood side by side with Ling Qingyi on the raised rock. Just by lowering his head, he could see the clouds and mist under his feet, the circling eagles, and the thrilling abyss.
"What will be the consequences if you fall from here?" Ling Qingyi suddenly asked a confused question.
Xu Lei didn't understand the meaning and blurted out: "It will become a puddle of meat."
Ling Qingyi looked at the golden sunset in the distance and said, "Then why is there such a result?"
Xu Lei said: "Because it's high here."
Ling Qingyi slowly turned her head, looked at Xu Lei and said, "Yes, just because you are tall, you will fall miserably."
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "You know everything."
Ling Qingyi smiled and said, "From an imperial hero admired by thousands of people to a wanted criminal on the run, it is a bad fall. But you are very lucky."
"Am I lucky like this?" Xu Lei looked confused, but looking at Ling Qingyi's expression, it didn't look like he was making fun of himself again.
"At least you didn't climb too high when you fell, otherwise you would be just a puddle of meat with no chance now, so you are lucky."
Xu Lei recalled Ling Qingyi's words. After a while, he looked relieved. He looked at Ling Qingyi and said with a smile: "Thank you, I am indeed very lucky. At least I will pay attention when I climb up next time."
Keep your feet under your feet and don’t let yourself fall again.”
"Good understanding, plus one point!" Ling Qingyi praised, "All success is accumulated from countless failures. People who fail will only get pain from failure, but successful people will always regard failure as just one time."
Learning and growing, with different attitudes, the outcomes will naturally be very different."
Xu Lei curled his lips and said, "You just said you would give me an extra point. What good will it do to me?"
Ling Qingyi smiled and joked: "When your points accumulate to a certain level, I will give you a chance to catch up with me."
"Really?" Xu Lei asked with a face of joy: "How good am I now?"
"In addition to the last time, you now have two points." Ling Qingyi said with a smile.
"Then what score do you need to reach the level you mentioned?"
"There is no upper limit." Ling Qingyi smiled playfully.
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, with a frustrated look on his face, "I don't want to play like this."
Ling Qingyi smiled, "So you must seize every opportunity to add points. For example, you can satisfy my curiosity and let me see what level your fighting spirit is."
Xu Lei curled his lips, "I went around here just to see my strength." Xu Lei said, taking two steps back, "But my level is not as high as yours. As for the score, you can do whatever you want.
Just give me one or two hundred points, I'm not that greedy."
As he spoke, the demon whirlpool in Xu Lei's dantian began to rotate rapidly. With a shake of his arm, the black light dissipated, and a demon sword that was completely black and exuded a strong killing aura appeared in his palm.
"Demon soul!" The knowledgeable Ling Qingyi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this weird-looking black knife.
"Do you know this knife?" Xu Lei looked surprised.
Ling Qingyi nodded, "I once saw an introduction to this aspect in an ancient book. In addition to ordinary war spirits, there is also an extremely rare demon soul on this continent. Demon souls usually only appear in
It can appear on monster beasts, but after some very small mutations, it will also appear on humans. This knife of yours exudes gloomy killing power and a strong demonic aura, so I concluded that it is a demon knife."
Xu Lei looked at Ling Qingyi with sincerity and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I really don't know if there is anything in this world that you don't know."
Ling Qingyi smiled and said, "Yes, there are many more. Wasn't it you who taught me about the green grass before?"
Xu Lei sighed, put the demon sword back into his body, and looked at the golden sunset in the distance with infinite emotion.
"Before, I couldn't figure out why you became like that after becoming a hero of the empire based on my understanding of you. Now everything is clear. This rare demon soul in your body has advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is
The cultivation speed and power of demon souls are much higher than that of ordinary fighting souls. The bad thing is that if you can't keep up with the cultivation of your character and just cultivate demon souls, you will be eroded by the demon power, and people will become greedy and cruel.
, In other words, demon spirits can infinitely magnify the shortcomings of people. If they are not controlled well, they will go down an evil path that will never be recovered."
"Someone has said similar things to me before, but I still didn't grasp it later." Xu Lei thought of his master Long Feifei.
"It seems that you were extremely lucky to fall from a high place this time. If this fall hadn't woken you up, I'm afraid the consequences would not have been so easy when you climbed higher and fell. I can
I see that your current xinxing can temporarily control the demon soul of your current level. Based on this analysis, you must have a way to practice your xinxing. What you just followed behind me and recited silently should be the method of practicing your xinxing.
Let’s learn the Dharma!”
Xu Lei admired Ling Qingyi's mind, nodded and answered truthfully: "I recite a Buddhist book called the Capricorn Tantric Sutra every day. Someone once told me that if my mind has not reached the same state,
At the same time, you must not continue to cultivate the demon soul, so my cultivation speed is not much different from that of ordinary fighting souls."
Ling Qingyi did not continue to ask who "that person" Xu Lei mentioned several times was. Since the other party didn't say anything, there must be a reason.
Xu Lei suddenly thought of something and asked: "How many points did you give my demon soul just now?"
Ling Qingyi said: "Zero points!"
"Zero points?"
Ling Qingyi nodded, "Originally, with this rare demon soul of yours, you could have scored one or twenty points, but since you were previously eroded by this demon soul and made mistakes due to your own reasons, so out of punishment,
If the additions and subtractions cancel out, you can only get zero points."
In the next two days, Xu Lei accompanied Ling Qingyi to climb two more mountains. During the climb, Xu Lei still deliberately walked beside Ling Qingyi and stretched out his hand to admire the graceful back. Ling Qingyi was always looking at her.
It’s time to say the words, “When you’ve seen enough, go ahead and open the way.”
"I will leave here early tomorrow morning." Ling Qingyi sat on a chair in the room, flipping through a book with a simple cover and no name.
"Oh." Xu Lei felt a little disappointed, but he was not stupid enough to think that he could retain this woman who was destined to be in the same world as him without any reason.
"Don't you want to stay?" Ling Qingyi saw through Xu Lei's thoughts again and joked.
"The answer is already determined anyway, and it is futile to try to stay." Xu Lei shrugged.
Ling Qingyi closed the book, looked at Xu Lei and said: "It seems that you still haven't fully understood the meaning of mountain climbing."
"Isn't it?" Xu Lei asked back: "I really can't find an excuse to keep you here, and I can't find a reason for you to stay here."
Ling Qingyi smiled softly and did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, she said seriously: "Before I leave here, I want to set a goal for you. I wonder if you are willing to work hard to achieve this goal."
"Say it." Xu Lei said.
Ling Qingyi looked at Xu Lei and said something that made Xu Lei stunned for a while.
"This goal is that within five years, you can chase me and convince me that I can't find any reason to refuse to be your woman willingly!"
After staying for a long time, Xu Lei clenched his fists and said slowly: "Okay!"
"Of course, I'm not the kind of little woman who gets sad at every turn. A few sweet words and some seemingly romantic but illusive things will move me to a complete mess. It's definitely not an easy thing to be my man.
My man must be an unparalleled hero who can make this continent tremble, so this process will be very difficult and bumpy, and may even threaten your life at every turn, are you still willing?"
Xu Lei remained silent, the unparalleled hero who made this continent tremble? What kind of realm should that be? But the stubborn eyes had already answered Ling Qingyi's question.
