Chapter 2027: The Birth of Desire, Slaying the Inner Demons

"Bang" sound.

The elder brother of the tea garden had been knocked away by a punch and fell into the nearby tea field. He kept covering his face and wailing, saying things like "disciple is wrong".

The other disciples were trembling.

"Master...Master!" Xiaodie quickly saluted the visitor, her pretty face full of nervousness.

Ye Feng also looked at the person who had just arrived.

This is an old man with white beard and hair. Although he is only about 1.5 meters tall, his muscles are bulging all over his body. He is actually a dual cultivator of law and body. He has a cultivation level of the third level of Juyuan Realm, which is pretty good.

"You are the owner of the tea garden?"

Ye Feng looked at the old man, calm and composed, in contrast to the frightened tea garden disciples around him.

Xiaodie quickly pulled Ye Feng's clothes and looked at her master, becoming even more nervous.

"Yes, I am the owner of this tea garden and the master of these incompetent disciples."

The old man is not an unreasonable person.

Although he beat up the eldest disciple violently, it was because the other party exposed his shortcomings, but he had just heard secretly that Ye Feng was the owner of a teahouse, and he used flying swords to pay for tea. He was considered a big patron and had to be treated well.

After all, tea gardens also have to do business.

If there is no business, there will be no money to practice.

The teahouse owners in the nearby ancient cities and some private estates are the customers of the tea gardens wherever they need to buy various tea leaves.

You have to have a better attitude towards customers.

"Master, this is the owner of the ancient city teahouse, his name is Ye Feng." Seeing that her master didn't seem so angry, Xiaodie quickly introduced him.

The little old man gently stroked his long beard, looked at Xiaodie with satisfaction, and said: "Xiaodie, you have done a good job. Among the dozens of disciples under my command, you are the most reliable and have sold the most tea. Awesome!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

In the tea field.

The senior brother who was beaten so violently cried. He didn't expect his master to have such a good attitude towards his junior sister. As he thought about it, he cried even harder.

"How can a grown man behave like this if he cries?"

The little old man scolded, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Oh!" The top disciple in the tea garden quickly lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, not daring to make any sound.

"Master, senior brother is an outspoken person, please forgive him!" Xiaodie quickly grabbed the little old man's arm and said coquettishly.

"Well, you can forgive him, but he must be sent to Lingnan to sell tea!" The little old man gently stroked his long beard, then glared at the eldest disciple and scolded.

"Thank you Master for your kindness!"

The first disciple of the tea garden got up in a second and slipped out quickly. After packing his bag, he flew towards an ancient city in the south with his sword. There is a tea shop run by a tea garden, and now he is in charge of it.

After a while.

In the reception hall of the tea garden.

The little old man and Ye Feng took their seats respectively.

"Mr. Lin, I am just a mortal, and you are a practitioner. Why are you so polite to me?" Ye Feng drank tea and asked the little old man beside him.

The little old man's surname is Lin, and he is the owner of the tea garden.

Old Man Lin laughed loudly and said: "I often warn my disciples not to think that they can embarrass the weak when they are strong. Of course, if you encounter those traitors, you must also know how to stop them. In my opinion, practitioners and ordinary people They are all lives and must be treated equally."

Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

No wonder he can teach a disciple like Xiaodie. This old man Lin, who is not very advanced in cultivation, is quite good.

This person can be called a famous teacher.

"Mr. Lin, please forgive me for being rude. Earlier, your eldest disciple said that you were beheaded by the person you liked. What is going on? I would like to hear it."

Ye Feng asked curiously.

Now, he has gained a worldly connection and must grasp everything he encounters in order to achieve enlightenment.

Old man Lin's matter should be very important.

When asked about this, Old Lin's expression became stiff, and he immediately coughed and said: "Boss Ye, we are just in a business relationship, so I can't say more..."

The words stopped abruptly.

For some reason, Ye Feng placed another flying sword on the table, making Old Lin's eyes widen.

"I still have."

Ye Feng took out another flying sword of the same quality from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"You...you have a storage bag? But, you are just a mortal, can you also use a storage bag?" Old man Lin stared at Ye Feng in surprise.

"I'm quite special. Although I'm a mortal, I met a great master of the Divine Origin Realm in my early years. He gave me a special treasure, so I can use the storage bag. Moreover, in the storage bag, I There are still many treasures that I can’t use.”

Ye Feng said with a smile.

The above is all made up by him.

Old man Lin's attitude immediately softened when he heard that Ye Feng knew a big boss in the Shenyuan Realm, and that he had so many treasures and was a proper patron.

"Since Boss Ye wants to hear it, then I'm not afraid of Boss Ye's jokes, so just tell me!"

Old man Lin looked outside and fell into memories.

"More than a hundred years ago, at that time, I was still a handsome young man. Although I was a little short, I still had good talent for cultivation."

"Back then, I joined a sect."

"The strongest person there is a person from the Spiritual Sea Realm. He has several elders from the Juyuan Realm under his command, and then there are hundreds of disciples from the Qi Refining Realm."

"I became one of them."

"In the same year, a woman named Xiaoxiao also joined this sect. Her appearance is sweet, and her voice and smile are still fresh in my memory."

"At first, she and I had a good relationship."

"She doesn't mind that I'm short. She goes to the Gigong Hall with me every day to listen to my lectures. After the class, she will discuss spiritual issues with me."

"As the saying goes, love grows with time."

"Three years later, she and I have both broken through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and we have secretly fallen in love, and eventually we became a real couple and got together."

"My sweet life lasted for ten years."

Speaking of this, Old Man Lin sighed.

"Then what?" Ye Feng asked.

Old Man Lin said helplessly: "Then? Haha, in the tenth year of our relationship, we all broke through to the peak of Qi Refining Realm, but we were all stuck by bottlenecks."

"Both I and she have hit the bottleneck several times in a row, but they still failed."

"After that, everything changed."

"She blamed me and said it was because our falling in love affected her practice and she wanted to break up with me."

"Of course I disagree."

"But, she has decided to leave."

"One night, she broke up with me, but I insisted not to agree, so she struck me in the chest with a sword. The scars are still there to this day."

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled open his clothes, revealing the shocking sword mark on his chest.

This made Ye Feng stunned.

"Falling in love won't actually affect your practice. In my opinion, she has probably changed her mind, right?"

Ye Feng speculated this way.

Old man Lin put on his clothes and said: "Yes, if two people fall in love, will it affect their practice? I said the same thing that night, but she told me that the first step in practice is to kill the person you love with a sword. It's a pity. , I was the one who was chopped.”

After a pause, he continued.

"That sword not only left a sword mark on my chest, but also opened a canyon in my heart, a forbidden place of unhealable emotional wounds!"

"But, if that's all, that's it."

"Unfortunately, a few years later, when she successfully broke into the Juyuan Realm, I found out that she hooked up with an elder of the sect and became his concubine. It was precisely because of the elder's resource support that she was able to Break through the bottleneck and advance to Juyuan Realm."

"hehe!"

"It turns out that I'm just a big injustice."

As Old Man Lin said this, he beat his thighs with his hands, and veins popped out on his face.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was speechless.

This woman is indeed disgusting.

"What happened next?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Later, after I learned that the woman had become the Juyuan Realm, she quit the sect directly and went out to gain experience. Finally, I came to this mountain and river and met the tea garden owner and his wife at the time."

"They are all mortals and their lives are short."

"I saved them and extended their life to over a hundred years old. To express their gratitude to me, they gave me the tea garden."

"After that, I ran a teahouse, and by chance I acquired the physical cultivation technique in the tea garden, and then embarked on the path of physical cultivation. Unexpectedly, when my physical cultivation reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, it unexpectedly broke through. .”

"Following on, I started running a tea garden and broke through to the third level of Juyuan Realm. Over the years, I recruited a group of disciples such as Xiaodie, until now."

"The above is my story."

"The story of a little old man."

Speaking of this, Old Man Lin looked at Ye Feng.

If it weren't for Ye Feng being a big customer, he wouldn't have told him about his experiences over the years.

Ye Feng nodded, feeling that Old Man Lin's experience was quite tragic. Of course, there are many people like Old Man Lin in this world.

Some people just can't stand the temptation.

For example, Old Man Lin’s ex-girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng quickly located the word "desire" and immediately smiled.

Sure enough, he asked the right question!

Through Old Man Lin's experience, Ye Feng realized that there are temptations and desires everywhere in the world, such as Old Man Lin's ex-girlfriend. This woman had the desire to advance to the Juyuan Realm, but could not withstand the temptation of the sect elders, and finally chose to rebel. , take another path.

In the final analysis, desire is still at work.

"Desire is very harmful!"

Ye Feng sighed.

Old man Lin shook his head and said: "A person should have desires, but you should be wary of desires that cannot be controlled, as well as desires that can hurt people. Of course, some desires are good and can motivate people. The role of pushing forward.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

indeed!

If a person has no desires or desires, wouldn’t he just do nothing and become a salted fish?

"For example, if a practitioner has the desire to break through the realm, then if he takes the right path, uses the right method to work hard, and finally breaks through and satisfies his desire, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Ye Feng thought so.

After that, he continued to analyze and felt deeply.

This conversation with Old Man Lin made him understand many things that he usually ignored.

This gain is not small.

"Boss Ye." Old Man Lin suddenly made a gesture of rubbing his hands together, "Look, you have also listened to my story. So, what about our cooperation?"

Ye Feng handed all the two flying swords on the table to Old Man Lin and said, "This is the advance payment for tea."

"Great!" Old Man Lin was overjoyed.

Seeing him smile, Ye Feng also smiled.

desire! Still desire!

Old Man Lin also has desires. Now, what he wants is to practice spiritual practice, but he uses formal means, such as bringing business by operating tea gardens, which will eventually be transformed into various resources that can promote spiritual practice.

This is considered fighting for a career.

It is worthy of praise.

"Desire, basically everyone has their own desires. Sometimes, it is more appropriate to say that it is one's own pursuit rather than desire."

Ye Feng murmured.

When Old Man Lin heard this, he thought of Xiaodie and saw that she seemed to like Ye Feng, so he said, "Boss Ye Feng, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

Ye Feng nodded: "Tell me!"

Old Man Lin sighed: "You should be able to tell that Xiaodie likes you, right?"

Ye Feng was startled, then nodded.

"However, one of you is a mortal, and the other is a practitioner. But you must know that when a mortal and a practitioner fall in love, the result is often not good."

After finishing speaking, Old Man Lin sighed quietly.

Ye Feng nodded and said: "I know, after all, I am only a mortal, and I may only live for a few decades. Even if I have so many treasures that can prolong my life, I may live for more than a hundred years, but Xiaodie is a practitioner. Once Breaking through the Juyuan realm, one's lifespan exceeds three hundred, which is far beyond the limit of mortal lifespan."

After a pause, he added:

"If I really fall in love with her, the outcome in the future will most likely be that I run out of life and die, and she can only watch from the sidelines, and she will be very helpless."

"Is that so?"

Speaking of this, he stared at Old Man Lin.

"Alas." Old Man Lin just sighed and said nothing, but it was regarded as acquiescence.

"You just said that everyone has their own desires." Ye Feng said, "Me too."

Old man Lin's eyes widened: "So?"

"Follow your heart!" Ye Feng smiled, stood up and walked out the door, "Sometimes, we should work hard, right?"

"Uh..." Old Man Lin was speechless.

If Ye Feng was just an ordinary person, he would definitely stand in the middle without hesitation and not give Xiaodie and Ye Feng any chance to be together.

However, Ye Feng is a big customer!

If you offend him, it will be difficult for you to get more resources for practice. It is not worth it.

After thinking about it, he chose to acquiesce.

Outside the main hall.

Ye Feng looked into the distance and found Xiaodie carrying a bamboo basket and picking tea leaves in the tea garden.

"He can't stop his desire after all."

Ye Feng murmured.

He was testing Old Man Lin before, but Old Man Lin clearly couldn't resist the temptation of training resources, and finally acquiesced that Ye Feng could date Xiaodie.

However, Ye Feng has no idea of ​​dating Xiaodie.

The other person is just a similar flower, but after all, it is not Yu Jie, not the person he likes.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng was confused.

"So, is Yu Jie my inner demon?"

Ye Feng sat under an old tea tree next to the tea garden, picked a piece of tea leaf and chewed it in his mouth. The taste was a bit bitter, which made people fall into deep thought.

Then, he fell asleep.

In sleep.

Ye Feng dreamed of Yu Jie, but she died. After that, she was reincarnated as Xiaodie and fell in love with him. The two lived a very sweet life, and they lived together forever.

However, Ye Feng noticed something was wrong.

"No, you can't be Yu Jie!"

Ye Feng suddenly scolded, pulled out the Taichu Sword Embryo from behind, and struck Xiaodie with one sword.

Immediately, a scream came out.
