Chapter 78 A conversation
“Dissolve the pills in warm water and take them every three hours. The limit for a day is five pills, but that is only if your soul is injured. It is a simple truth that water overflows when it is full. After your soul recovers, take half a pill every three days so that you don’t waste the medicine.” Wang Feng’s words still ring in my ears, but when I think of the image of him saying this, a smile can’t help but creep onto my lips.
He had just had a fierce battle with Jenny, and he was talking to me with a head full of messy hair like a “crazy woman.”
I don’t like to think about Wang Feng, Jenny, or even Yan Yi. I always feel that they and I don’t belong in the same world. The heights they are at, the world they see, is not something I can understand at this time. One cannot be complacent, insisting that what one sees is the whole world, but one cannot be overambitious, with high aspirations but low abilities, deluding oneself that one can integrate into a world that is not one’s own in one step. This is not practical!
The road is one that you walk step by step.
Thinking of this, I picked up the glass and drank half a glass of brown liquid. It was time to take my medicine, because my phone alarm went off. This time I was taking my medicine very seriously, all for the upcoming battle!
According to Wang Feng, I can only take 15 pills in three days, which can restore 80% of my peak strength. Because the pills have a peculiar characteristic, the first pill has the best effect, and then it gradually weakens. This is the damn drug resistance of the human body.
“80%, 80% is not bad, as long as it can let me kill that bastard Lu Fanmin.” I put down the glass of water and leaned back in my chair to take a nap. Before taking the medicine, according to the special hospital, I had to sleep for more than 14 hours before my weak soul could sustain my daily activities and withstand the pressure of being “alive.” This situation has improved since the first time I took the medicine, but it is only the third pill now, and I am still sleepy.
“Very tired, aren’t you?” Sitting next to me was Jiang Yi. He actually took me to the meeting place for the operation, which was a bit of a surprise.
“I’m not that tired. I think after taking more medicine, I’ll be much better,” I said calmly.
“Take a nap on the bus. You went with the leader last night to do something, and you didn’t come back until dawn. Then you contacted me to participate in the operation. You were injured, so you can’t be so exhausted.” Jiang Yi’s tone towards me was actually a little concerned. This is rare? Or rare? Anyway, I was a little moved.
Yes, I returned to the hospital to say hello to everyone, and after resting for only a few minutes, I insisted that Jenny contact Jiang Yi and said that I wanted to return to the action. At that time, everyone stopped me, except for Jenny, who waved her hand and said, “That’s his idea. A cultivator can’t have a blocked mind and a disturbed heart. Let him do as he pleases. That’s his own fate and his own thoughts. Let him be. You guys will accompany me for the day. I like to be close to you young people.
No wonder she is a woman related to my master. She has the breath of the Li family, which is free and natural, and a little self-indulgent. Thanks to Jenny, I saved a lot of trouble explaining and was able to come out smoothly.
Before I left, Jenny stopped me and said to me, “Kid, I don’t know when I’ll see you again after today. I just hope you won’t cause me any more trouble. Whether you want to go to the moon or drill a hole in the ground, as long as you can live and grow up smoothly, I don’t have any other hopes.”
“What does that mean?” To be honest, I didn’t understand what Jenny meant by that. What does she mean by not having any hope? Am I that bad?
But I didn’t expect Jenny to fly into a rage at my question, pointing at my forehead and yelling, “Do I still have any hope of getting anything back from you people? You’re all missing! Get out of here, right now…”
All of them are missing, and when I thought about this, I couldn’t help but smile wryly. Maybe, it really is like this.
“What are you thinking about without taking a break?” Jiang Yi suddenly asked.
“I’m not thinking about anything, but I don’t want to rest either. Although I know it’s not good, I still want to hold on. I don’t want to reverse day and night. Let’s chat, shall we?” I was telling the truth. After all, the battle was about to begin, and the best thing to do was to stay in full condition. I don’t think it’s better to rest during the day than at night. As long as Taoists understand some health care, they all know this basic truth.
When he heard me say this, Jiang Yi didn’t say anything against it, but when it came to chatting, he was silent. Jiang Yi was originally a person who didn’t talk much, and he was more authoritative than friendly. As for Jenny’s evaluation of him, I didn’t feel much.
And when faced with him, I found it difficult to take the initiative to talk about any topic. After all, I was somewhat constrained in front of him. After a long silence, when I was racking my brains to find a topic, Jiangyi finally spoke up: “You suppressed that little ghost zombie in the secret room. I can’t see through that secret method. I have some guesses, but I can’t believe it. Why don’t you tell me yourself?”
“That? Actually, I think you can recognize it, right? It’s the Heavenly and Earthly Stance.” After all, the Stance is not a secret. Basic stances like the pace are not things that can be passed on, but which Taoist school does not have its own collection? The difference is only whether it can be stepped out.
“Really…” Jiang Yi’s expression was a bit wooden, but there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes. I was right. He had long guessed it was the Yubu, but why couldn’t he believe it?
Before I could ask anything, Jiang Yi said to himself, “Chengyi, your Li family is a unique family in the circle. It can be said that your growth process has isolated the entire circle, or it is because your code of conduct does not take the standards of the circle or the standards of the world as the standard, you only take your own heart as the standard. Is that so? So from the old Li family to your younger generation, you all think that integration is actually unnecessary? I believe you are absolutely independent people who insist on living in groups, right?
What does this mean? I frowned slightly and didn’t understand, but what he said made some sense. Our Li family is indeed like this, so when our younger generation was born, they were all like idiots who didn’t understand anything.
However, I vaguely understand why our family does this. Because if you don’t first put any preconceived notions in your heart, and simply let you experience good and evil in the process of growing up, your heart is the best criterion.
But I didn’t comment on Jiang Yi’s words. I knew that Jiang Yi must have something else to say. Sure enough, in my silence, Jiang Yi spoke up: “Perhaps it’s because you don’t get involved in the world, and maybe you’ve done something that’s earth-shattering, but you don’t know it because you don’t have a standard to measure how far you’ve gone. You’re just a bunch of people who know only to keep moving forward and do things according to their own hearts, right? Actually, after all that nonsense, I just want to say, do you know how shocking it is to take the first step? It is the leader of the world’s step-by-step! I can’t believe it, because you are so young, how did you step out of the Yu step?
Is it that powerful to take the first step? I really didn’t know, as Jiang Yi said, but it wasn’t my doing. I shouldn’t have lied to Jiang Yi about my own skills, but I felt that I should tell him the truth. I said, “To be honest, I didn’t take the first step. I used the Zhongmao technique to summon my master and take the first step.”
“Zhongmao’s technique? The legendary Old Li?” My explanation did not lessen Jiangyi’s shock. Instead, I heard him inhale a slight chill!
But this time he didn’t make any comments. After a long silence, he suddenly patted my shoulder and said, “Looking at you always reminds me of your master when he was young. He was the same. He did many miraculous things, but he thought they were ordinary and natural. Your master’s reputation also blossomed because of your master and others. There were always many people wondering what kind of “old monster” could cultivate such a group of “little monsters.” Later… later… heh…” Jiang Yi suddenly stopped talking.
In fact, I really wanted him to continue, but he had already completely calmed down. He had just finished reminiscing and pensive expression had disappeared. He only said lightly, “If your master was willing to concentrate on cultivation or willing to shine in the department, I think he could also take my position. But he always made me feel that he was rushing through his life, anxious to complete the affairs of this world. However, I can now understand some of it.”
At this point, I couldn’t help but say, “Jiang, the information you said you would give me, I…”
“Do you want it now or after the action?” Jiang asked me calmly.
“Not now, after the operation, if you can give it to me in person, then do so, if not, give it to my fellow students.” I said this very calmly.
“Don’t say it like a last word. You won’t die. It’s true that you won’t.” Jiang Yi said with certainty.
But is there any certainty about this? Just a few days ago, didn’t I almost die in the basement? It was only because a heroic old man stood in front of me…
“Let’s go see someone first. It’s not like we have a lot of time.” In the silence, Jiang Yi said this.
