Consideration
Chapter 18 Consideration
Li Wuxiang slowly exhaled and felt that the surroundings were completely quiet.
He emptied his mind for a while, and then listened to Xue Baoping's breathing. As he thought before, this girl was really sick in her heart. No one could sleep as peacefully as she did after experiencing what happened tonight, but Li Wuxiang felt that he could understand her.
This understanding came from his memory... He couldn't remember who he was, but he could remember some experiences in another world. He had seen many people who were extremely sad, angry and fearful, and he was even a senior member of them. When he parted with them, he would listen and comfort them to make sure they had no regrets, or at least not particularly regretful, so he learned how to see a person's heart.
So he knew that a girl like Xue Baoping, who had lived in a depressed and embarrassing situation for a long time, felt all implicit hostility. At the same time, looking forward to her future, no matter her personal efforts or the surrounding environment, could not bring her any hope. As long as there was a little kindness and change in her world, she would bet everything on trust, and would not ask him to consider the consequences of such trust.
In her opinion, she had nothing to lose.
And now he had a lot to consider.
First of all, this world seemed slightly different from what he imagined. When he was trapped by Zhao Kui, he was exposed to concepts such as "external evil", "end of the world", "cultivation", and "alchemy". He saw a paper man controlled by magic, the magical net in his body, and the soul that wanted to take over. Even he himself only took more than a month to step into the threshold of cultivation. So he felt that immortals and monsters might be everywhere in this world, and if he was not careful, he might see flying swords like rainbows and meteorites like rain.
But now, according to Xue Baoping, the Qi-refining masters didn't seem to show too many powerful methods in front of people. Even the disaster that killed most of the residents of this town was mostly just two groups of people fighting with ordinary swords... This seems to mean that the power beyond the mundane in this world doesn't seem to be a common thing.
But it also means that his situation has become a little more dangerous.
He once thought that Zhao Kui, the Qi-refining master who was "about to form a pill", was just a low-ranking cultivator, but now, judging from the various magical methods he showed... Zhao Kui might be a big shot.
Big shots must have inextricable connections with other people, and it is more likely that there are many subordinates who obey orders. Another piece of news from Xue Baoping was that there had been no cultivators in Jinshui Town for a long time, but just a few days ago, a Qi-refining master named Zhao Qi came to the town.
"A few days ago", "surnamed Zhao"... Li Wuxiang found it hard to convince himself that this was a coincidence.
The wiser thing to do would be to leave this place immediately, but this involved the second troublesome matter - his current situation.
In his previous life, he had heard of some Taoist health preservation and cultivation, but he couldn't tell whether they were true or not. But he knew there was a saying - it was quite dangerous to practice alone, and he needed a teacher to teach him. When he was trapped, it should be Zhao Kui who secretly guided him, and those "marching pills" might be the medicinal materials to assist in cultivation, so he was able to go smoothly.
Now he can only rely on his instincts, and then he found that instincts were not very reliable.
He first sucked up Wang Wen's essence, blood and flesh by instinct, and then stretched himself into a floating human skin. Just now, in order to solve the problem as soon as possible, he sucked up Wang Wu and Wang Peng. Now he has a human form and has become a little stronger, but the problem is that it seems to be "too stretched".
When he was in the stove, he had already reached the state of "sending true seeds" and felt that the breath in his body was smooth and pure, but now he felt that his body became congested and blocked again, as if overgrown with weeds. He tried to breathe in and out several times, but felt that his qi and meridians became the same as when he just practiced, as if everything had to start all over again.
Perhaps there were more things in the bodies of the three mortals besides the essence and blood that should have been discarded during the practice, but he swallowed them all, or perhaps the Taoist book "Guang Chanzi" could not be practiced without Zhao Kui's secret guidance and auxiliary medicine, or perhaps it was because the spiritual energy in Jinshui Town was thin, but no matter which one it was, Li Wuxiang decided not to change his current state easily. He felt that he had to imagine himself as a patient with high blood lipids or high uric acid, and everything had to be done carefully and moderately until he figured out what he was now and what to do.
So he had to stay here. First, he had to confirm whether Zhao Qi was really a disciple of Zhao Kui. If so, he had to find a way to get more information from him. Even if not, he could still get quite a lot of common sense about cultivation, especially about "external evil". He was in the dark, and the Qi-refining masters in this world were not the kind of people who could move mountains and seas. This was worth a risk, and it would even be quite interesting.
But the little girl's heart disease made her temperament a little evil. Li Wuxiang could clearly feel the fire suppressed in her heart. He didn't want to turn her into a playful, happy, and carefree girl, but he knew where to direct this fire so that she wouldn't burn herself. After all, in his intermittent memories, his previous life seemed to be not much different from her.
And Zhao Xi… before falling into the sea of fire, was it her ghost that he heard sighing? Did she push him? If so… Zhao Kui is already dead, I wonder if it counts as revenge for her.
After thinking about it for a while, he began to try to enter a state of meditation to relax himself. But he found it difficult to do this now, so he tried another method from his previous life—no matter how much pain and trouble he had, no matter what kind of dangerous situation he was in, he would just let his thoughts run wild, and naturally think of the most relaxing and comfortable thing, grab it, and then he would be able to calm down.
He breathed, feeling the tentacles in his body swaying softly, gradually returning to the same rhythm.
Then he listened to the girl's long and gentle breathing, felt the air flow in the house, the slightly damp rammed earth ground, the crickets that timidly started to chirp again, the gurgling water of the Jinshui River outside the courtyard, and the raindrops dripping from the eaves, and his body slowly deflated, turning into a soft human skin, drooping on the beams.
Now it ranks 7th on the Xianxia new books list and 38th on the total new books list. I continue to ask for recommendation votes and monthly votes!
The second update will be at 8 am!
