Chapter 200: Luo Ze's Changes, the Reappearance of the Free Monk
Bluestone City, the land of the Luo family.
In the courtyard where the ancestors of the Luo family lived.
Under a simple stone pavilion.
Luo Changfeng was sitting here quietly at this time.
He was holding a cup of tea in his hand.
He raised his head slightly and stared ahead with a calm expression.
As time passed, about three to five minutes later.
Yuan, who had disappeared from his sight before, appeared in his sight again.
However, there is something different from before.
Behind Yuan, a man wearing a black coat was following.
His head was slightly lowered, and his face was hidden in the shadows.
There is a vaguely cold aura about the young man.
Under the stone pavilion, Luo Changfeng put down the teacup in his hand.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the young man in front of him who kept walking towards him.
His eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
At this time, the person in front of him.
It is indeed the little guy Luo Ze.
However, there is something different from before.
Back then, Luo Ze's face and body always had a slightly childish aura.
And this Luo Ze in front of me
It seems like the killer hiding in the shadows.
It could take someone else's life at any time.
"After this little guy went to the training base of the Shadow Guards, he really changed a lot."
"Even my own cultivation level has been upgraded to the early stage of bone refining."
Luo Changfeng thought silently in his heart.
Even though the early stage of bone refining is only the second major realm among the five mortal realms, it is not that high.
But what you need to know is that it is Luo Ze who has reached the early stage of bone refining.
Luo Ze, whose cultivation talent was extremely poor, was able to forcibly upgrade his cultivation level to the early stage of bone refining during this period of time.
This is already quite difficult.
In the small courtyard, under the stone pavilion.
About a moment later.
Luo Changfeng pointed to the position in front of him and whispered to Luo Ze in front of him: "Sit down."
Luo Ze nodded silently.
Then, he sat in front of Luo Changfeng with some restraint.
After sitting down.
He still lowered his head slightly.
The expression on his face seemed a little unnatural.
After staying in the Shadow Guard training base for such a period of time.
He seems to have forgotten how to communicate with others.
"how do you feel?"
Luo Changfeng looked at Luo Ze, who was extremely reserved and had an unnatural look on his face.
He silently picked up a cup of tea on the stone table.
Put it to your mouth and take a sip.
Then, he asked in a low voice.
"It's okay."
Luo Ze still lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
The look on his face was still so unnatural.
He seemed a little uncomfortable with the tranquility at this time.
"Are you ok?"
Luo Changfeng listened to this answer and nodded silently.
After that, he stopped talking.
He was just minding his own business, drinking the cup of tea in his hand.
And the little guy in front of him, Luo Ze.
He always lowered his head slightly, looking a little uneasy.
In the small courtyard.
After Luo Changfeng and Luo Ze's initial words.
There was no more communication.
It seems like they don't know how to communicate.
It seemed that both of them were thinking about different things.
"What do you plan to do next after you come out?"
"Continue to pursue power?"
"Continue to pursue cultivation?"
"Continue to sail against the current and find your own way in the world of spiritual practice?"
After the two were silent for a long time.
Luo Changfeng sat quietly under the stone pavilion and kept drinking tea in his hand.
At this moment, he suddenly raised his head.
He asked in a low voice to the little guy in front of him, Luo Ze, who seemed to be getting better gradually and was no longer as cautious and uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.
"If possible, I would naturally like to continue pursuing it."
"only"
Under the stone pavilion.
As Luo Ze spoke, his face hidden in the shadows couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile: "It's just that the reality seems to be far more cruel than I imagined. Talents, qualifications, and many more Time has already determined the results that a practitioner can achieve in the future, and many times it has already determined the level of a practitioner’s future cultivation.”
"I've done everything I can during this time."
"I have even wandered between life and death countless times."
"However, my cultivation level has only broken through the perfection of skin refining, and has reached the early stage of bone refining which is above the perfection of skin refining."
"Ancestor Changfeng, I want to pursue strength, I want to pursue cultivation, and I really want to carve out a path that belongs only to me in the world of cultivation."
"I really, really, really, really want to keep going."
"However, what gradually shook my heart was."
"If I continue to persevere as I am now, will there really be any results? Will I really gain something?"
"If I keep persisting, will I really get everything I want?"
Luo Ze's words.
It echoed slowly in this small courtyard.
The little guy's head was raised high at this time.
His face, hidden in the shadows, seemed a little hesitant, a little unsure, a little confused and hesitant.
At this moment, he was completely exposed to the light.
Completely exposed to Luo Changfeng's sight.
As for the little guy's various questions, Luo Changfeng did not choose to answer them directly.
He just smiled slightly.
Then, he poured himself another cup of tea.
While drinking, he whispered to Luo Ze in front of him: "It's hard to talk about this kind of thing."
"What people think is always good."
"But reality is always cruel."
"Even if you are a genius, a monster, a one-in-a-million, or even a one-in-a-billion genius, before he has grown up and encounters a stronger enemy than him, such a being will still be unable to escape death. They will still turn into a handful of dust in this world, and no one will care about them except those who care about them. "
"Mediocre people, those with poor talent and qualifications, will not necessarily have worse future results than those with geniuses."
"In the world of cultivation, in addition to the gap in talent, opportunity, luck, and character are all indispensable."
"So, if that's the summary."
"Apart from talent, which is determined by nature, many other things can be changed artificially."
"This is the process, it will be a bit complicated, cumbersome, and difficult."
Until Luo Changfeng finished speaking these words.
Only then did he drink the tea that he had been holding in his hand but had never had the chance to drink.
After talking so much, his mouth felt somewhat dry.
And the little guy Luo Ze was in front of Luo Changfeng.
At this time, he seemed to be confused and a little stunned.
Until, a long time later.
Only then did he gradually come back to his senses.
"Ancestor Changfeng"
Luo Ze opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
However, before he could say anything.
Luo Changfeng, who was under the stone pavilion, had already poured a cup of tea for the little guy.
Caused by the passage of time.
The tea at this time was slightly cold.
However, at a time like this.
Drinking a cup of slightly cold tea is a pretty good thing.
"Try it and see how it tastes"
Luo Changfeng poured a cup of tea on the stone table and pushed it in the direction of Luo Ze.
Afterwards, he whispered.
This is his second time
Oh, no.
If you include that guy Xiaoyao Monk.
This should be considered the third time that he has recommended this extremely rare and expensive tea to others.
Luo Ze looked at the cup of tea in front of him.
After being silent for a moment, he stretched out his right hand towards the cup of tea.
Pick up the tea and put it to your mouth.
Luo Ze took a cautious sip.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took the tea in his mouth very carefully to taste it.
It wasn't until a long time that he swallowed the slightly bitter yet sweet tea in his mouth.
"how is the taste?"
Luo Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the little guy Luo Ze in front of him who had already opened his eyes, he couldn't help asking in a low voice.
“Somewhat bitter”
Luo Ze whispered calmly.
Likewise, this was his first real reaction after taking a sip of tea.
Luo Ze looked at the Changfeng ancestor in front of him, and then he said: "After the bitterness, there is some sweetness."
"Also, drinking this tea seems to make people calm down and concentrate."
"I feel like everything around me has become a little calmer."
"To be precise, maybe it's not the change in the surrounding environment, but my heart seems to have become calmer compared to just now."
Listen to what that little guy Luo Ze said.
Luo Changfeng smiled slightly and nodded silently.
He seemed to be very satisfied with this little guy Luo Ze's answer.
However, it didn't take long for him to be happy.
The turning point in the little guy's evaluation came.
“This tea is good tea”
Under the stone pavilion, Luo Ze looked at the Changfeng ancestor in front of him and said cautiously: "But I don't like the bitter taste, so"
At this point, Luo Ze stopped talking.
In fact, he could also say something against his will to deceive the Changfeng ancestor in front of him.
But Luo Ze thought about it carefully.
Ancestor Changfeng treats himself so sincerely.
How could he bear to deceive his ancestor?
"Is this so"
Luo Changfeng looked at the serious-looking Luo Ze in front of him. He curled his lips and whispered: "Okay."
After saying that, he stood up silently.
It seemed that he planned to take a short walk in this small courtyard to stretch his muscles.
However, before he could take a few steps.
Luo Changfeng suddenly stepped back. He looked at Luo Ze under the stone pavilion and thought for a moment.
Then, he extended his right hand.
He patted the little guy Luo Ze on the shoulder and whispered: "If you want to, then pursue what you want in your heart. Who can know in advance what the outcome will be in the future?"
"Even though there really wasn't anything accomplished in the end."
"But at least you tried, right?"
After Luo Changfeng said this, he walked silently towards the distance.
In fact, what he wanted to say just now was not such nonsense.
But I want to talk to the little guy about Baifanlian and the extremely mysterious Baifanlian seeds.
But think about it carefully.
Luo Changfeng did not choose to tell the little guy these things.
After all, it’s still undecided.
It's better not to give others hope as much as possible.
In a blink of an eye.
Time passed the next day.
In the early morning, when the sky is dawning.
The air around him was still slightly cold.
Luoshan Mansion, Qingshi City, Luo Family Land.
In the courtyard where the ancestors of the Luo family lived.
At this time, Luo Changfeng was sitting quietly under a stone pavilion, squinting his eyes slightly.
He seemed to be enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
"What are you thinking about?"
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded from Luo Changfeng's ears.
He opened his eyes.
Look towards the source of the sound.
Sure enough, right next to him, there was a man wearing a shabby monk's robe.
A carefree monk holding a broken wooden fan in his hand.
At this time, he was squinting his eyes.
Looking at him half-smilingly.
"Just relax, and try to see if you can improve your mood."
"After transformation, cultivation is important, but the state of mind is even more important."
Luo Changfeng glanced at the happy monk beside him and whispered.
"Yo"
“It’s not bad to still have such awareness.”
As Monk Xiaoyao spoke, he sat quietly in front of Luo Changfeng in a familiar manner.
Luo Changfeng, who was under the stone pavilion, saw this.
He quietly placed a teapot on the stone table in front of him, a little further away from the happy monk.
Like this good tea, let that guy drink it.
That is really a waste, a waste of natural resources.
"What?"
"You don't even give me tea?"
Monk Xiaoyao noticed Luo Changfeng's little thoughts, so he raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.
"No"
Luo Changfeng shook his head, and then he took out a brand new teapot from the storage ring.
Then, a handful of tea leaves were added.
I made a new pot of tea for the happy monk in front of me.
"This is delicious, drink this."
Luo Changfeng pointed to the teapot in front of him, which was still faintly emitting bursts of steam, and he whispered.
"Too."
After the happy monk nodded silently.
He poured himself a full cup of tea.
Then he drank it all.
After drinking a cup of tea and moistening my throat.
Monk Xiaoyao turned his attention to Luo Changfeng again, and asked in a low voice with a rather casual expression: "By the way, how did you study the drawing of the tortoise-shell floating boat I gave you before? Can we get one or two of those turtle-shell floating boats now?"
When Luo Changfeng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Monk Xiaoyao curiously.
After that, he asked in a low voice: "Why are you asking this? Is it possible that you want me to help you get one or two turtle-shell floating boats?"
Monk Xiaoyao nodded excitedly and said, "If it's possible, that would be the best."
Luo Changfeng, on the other hand, looked helplessly at the happy monk in front of him. He whispered: "What a hammer. Don't even think about the turtle-shell floating boat at this stage. It won't be possible in at least three years."
