Chapter 32 Sitting for a hundred years, a small boat
There are weeping willows on the shore, caressed by the gentle breeze.
"If you don't know, why not go fishing."
Er Qing held the rod without bait in his hand and looked at the pebbles clearly visible under the water. However, the words Lin Yi said a hundred years ago could not help but come to mind.
"Fishing? There is nothing in this stream. What kind of fish can you catch?"
I have been sitting there for hundreds of years and still achieved nothing.
Looking at the green leaves blown by the wind, and looking at the ripples caused by the green leaves falling on the water, Erqing couldn't help but sigh.
He wanted to put down the fishing rod in his hand and ask the unknown gentleman to play chess again.
Just like his eldest brother Yiqing Taishang, after playing chess for thousands of years, he clearly understood what the path of inaction is.
Can.
Does the same path really work for you?
"Chess is like life, and life is like chess. How can you play chess if you haven't even found your own path?"
Thinking of the words of rejection a few years ago, Er Qing took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and allowed his mind to become clear.
"The Word, my Word, where should it be?"
Boom!
Just when Er Qing's mind was about to completely calm down, a loud noise suddenly came.
The loud noise came so unexpectedly that Er Qing's mind was immediately interrupted and he couldn't help but frown.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a green sword light rising into the sky from the mountain peak not far away.
It's the third brother.
The third brother came out of seclusion again and became stronger.
"Chijin, come and fight."
Without any unnecessary words, Sanqing's fighting spirit was high and he shouted loudly as he soared into the sky.
"Meow!"
Across the creek, the red golden tiger who transformed into a cat yawned, and its cute cat head rubbed against Ji Yi's palm.
"Go ahead."
Ji Yi pinched the layer of soft fur and spoke slowly.
"Meow!"
As he said these words, the red gold kitten jumped up and roared towards Sanqing in the sky.
When he came to the opposite side of the former, he had transformed into a majestic tiger.
"Humph, you have all the skills, but you can only act cute. I'm ashamed of you."
Seeing the contemptuous expression on the Red Gold Divine Tiger's face, Sanqing said with a sneer.
"Roar!"
Hearing this, Chi Jin's hair exploded, and a strong murderous aura emerged in his eyes, and he rushed towards San Qing.
"Yes, that's it. If you dare, beat me to death. If you can't beat me to death, I will beat you to death."
Seeing this scene, Sanqing was not surprised but overjoyed, and rushed forward amidst the loud shouts.
In an instant, one person and one tiger were like the tip of a needle facing a wheat awn, and the terrifying energy suddenly exploded from the sky.
This energy lasted for about ten breaths, and then a blue meteor flew out and smashed into the mountain.
Another big human-shaped pit.
Bang!
A moment later, with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Sanqing was thrown in front of the cauldron by the Red Gold Divine Tiger.
"Third brother, why do you need to stimulate it?"
Seeing Sanqing struggling to drink the elixir from the cauldron to heal his injuries, Erqing couldn't help but ask.
"Otherwise, Chijin will not fight me with all his strength. If the battle is not fought with all his strength, it will be meaningless."
As the elixir nourished his lungs and he felt his injuries rapidly improving, Sanqing said decisively.
"But you have already failed 321 times."
Er Qing couldn't help but said.
Although he has not yet set foot in the sky, he can see blue shooting stars almost every once in a while.
After losing so many times in a row, I have never won, and each time is more miserable than the last.
Even Erqing, who had been worried about Sanqing, was almost numb.
If he hadn't considered his third brother's self-esteem and the fact that speaking out would shatter the remaining pride from Pangu Zhengshuo, Er Qing would have made his words clear.
Stop fighting, you can't beat me, hurry up...
"Second brother, I will always win."
At this time, Sanqing's firm words came again.
Hearing this, Er Qing didn't say much.
Sanqing glanced at the red golden tiger who was looking at him with disdain. He snorted coldly, and when he turned to leave, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
How could he not know that he was no match for the Red Gold Divine Tiger?
But as Pangu Zhengshuo, he would never allow himself to fail, let alone not have the courage to face it after failure.
Moreover, at first he could only hold on for one breath, but now it has gradually reached ten breaths.
"I'll always win."
As this thought emerged, Sanqing immediately turned into a ray of light and began another retreat.
"You did a good job this time, but don't play again next time."
Ji Yi stroked the cat's head and said lightly.
"Meow."
The red golden tiger nodded, and then lay down obediently.
"Didn't that Thief Tiger use all his strength in this battle?"
In the cave, Sanqing, who had just returned to the retreat, heard a sentence coming from the stream. His face suddenly sank and he gritted his teeth.
"Continue to practice."
"Mr. Anonymous, I'm afraid my third brother's mind will be damaged if he continues like this."
On the opposite side of the stream, Er Qing glanced at San Qing's retreat place behind him, finally sighed, looked at Lin Yi and said.
Lin Yi smiled and did not answer hastily. Instead, he pointed at the big tree next to him with his fingers.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a green leaf was seen floating down and falling onto the stream.
The leaves floated and stopped in the middle of the stream, turning into a light boat.
"Look, this boat is on the water. If you want to avoid sinking in the stream, is it better to sail against the current or with the current?"
At this time, Lin Yi asked lightly.
“Is it better to sail with the current or against the current?”
Hearing this, Er Qing instinctively thought that Lin Yi's words had a deeper meaning.
He looked at the boat under the protection of Lin Yi's magic power.
As the water flow from the east surged, the canoe began to rock continuously.
If it weren't for the protection of magical power, I'm afraid it would have been washed away by the current.
Under such circumstances, if you force yourself to go eastward, once the water surges into waves, you will sink in an instant.
"If you can't protect it, if you want to stay on the water for a long time, it's best to sail with the current."
After a long while, Erqing still respected his original intention and spoke.
“Sailing a boat along the current is like having divine help, like heaven and earth borrowing its strength, and you can ride on the wind without much thought.
On the contrary, to sail against the current is to fight against the heaven and the earth, making it difficult to move forward."
As he spoke these words, Er Qing saw that the magic power sheltering the boat suddenly dissipated.
The next moment, with the flow of water, the boat suddenly went down the east and headed towards the west.
It wasn't until more than twenty meters later that it was completely overturned by the agitation of a current and submerged in the stream.
"So what now?"
Lin Yi opened his mouth and asked again.
"Although a light boat cannot avoid sinking, it is better to sail with the current.
Because if it goes against the current, this boat may not be able to support even one step."
Er Qing still insisted on his own idea and replied.
"You are right, then I will give you a task."
"Sir, please speak."
When Erqing heard about the mission, he felt happy.
This was the first time this unknown gentleman spoke to him and made such a request after he had been sitting there for a hundred years.
Finally no more wasting time.
"I allow you to attach a piece of your mind to the boat, without using any magic power, until you can escort the boat to the end of the stream."
Lin Yi said calmly.
As he finished speaking, Er Qing saw the previously sunken boat appear in the same place where it had set off amid a burst of ripples.
(One explains the teaching and the other intercepts the teaching. I want to play some new tricks. Do you fellow Taoists have any good suggestions? O(∩_∩)O)
