Xue Xintong's eyes were red and tears were falling.
She was extremely sharp at the moment, like a little hedgehog with its soft body curled up and its spikes exposed.
She made a difficult choice and made a decision after deliberation, knowing that if she chose to be independent and break away from the family after the gods spoke, she would be free and free, and that would definitely be in line with what the gods wanted her to be.
But no, she is Xue Xintong, an ordinary person.
In those storybooks, the much-talked-about grassroots legends and useless counterattack stories would not happen to her.
"God, I am so ordinary. Maybe in your eyes I am despicable. I am just like thousands of ordinary monks. All my mother wants from me is peace and success."
She raised her hand to brush away her tears, and her violently heaving chest gradually calmed down.
"I just want stability."
"I'm sorry that I can't live up to your expectations."
Pei Xihe sat quietly in the void, her body as stable as a stable tree, and the sudden waves in her eyes showed that her heart was by no means peaceful.
The golden-haired fox knew that her heart was ups and downs at this moment, so he cautiously stretched out his paw to poke her, and whispered: "Pei Xihe, are you okay?"
Are you ok?
Pei Xihe licked his lips, his voice was extremely harsh, and he asked instead of answering.
"Fox, do you still remember the first time you saw me?"
Helian Jiucheng was stunned and followed her words to recall the memories of that year.
"Of course I remember. When you were in the Divine Hidden Realm, you were extremely smart. You noticed my traces from the surrounding paintings on the walls and obtained the qualification to select scriptures. This actually made the male cultivator next to you take advantage."
Back then, he had stayed in the Divine Hidden Realm for too long, and his lively nature could not be released. He was extremely out of touch, and even called himself the Great Fox Immortal.
Unconsciously, so much time has passed.
Pei Xihe smiled bitterly and said, "That male cultivator is called Lu Changfeng. You don't know that because of him, I made a similar decision to Xue Xintong."
"I chose to refuse. At that time, after I made the choice, I just felt that my heart was clear. The Taoist Heart was born because of this. I knew what I really wanted."
"I want to be free, I want to be happy, I want to be free and easy in heaven and earth, I want a great freedom, I want my destiny to be controlled by myself and not by God."
"I fled Kunlun and went to Wan Zhong Mountain to learn sword skills. I firmly believed that I made the right choice, and I still feel the same when I look back now. But at that time, I was a little confused in my heart, but in fact, I was just like Xue Xintong. I told Even if I make the wrong choice, I will never regret it, and I will be responsible for my choice."
She closed her eyes, brushed her face with her hands, pursed her lips, and breathed heavier.
"Now I am actually demanding others. The root cause is, as Xue Xintong said, I am high in the clouds, overlooking the world. I am an innate creature with Shenwu blood and successful cultivation. However, I actually feel that others should do the same. I am generally right, I think highly of myself and despise ordinary creatures."
"They and I are all different individuals. Our origins, experiences, and temperaments have created different choices and different directions. We can never apply them mechanically. What Shang Xuanyu said before should have woken me up, but I was addicted to it. In one’s own self-righteousness.”
"Now Xue Xintong's sharp words made my heart freeze for a moment."
There was a hint of anxiety in the fox's eyes, and he noticed that Pei Xihe's heart and soul were shaking, and his magic aura was as unstable as a surging tide. He opened his third eye between his brows, and the Dantian in his abdomen shone softly, using the power of the divine fox to stabilize his mind.
Pei Xihe opened his eyes, and there were bloodshot eyes in his usually clear and pure golden eyes.
She opened her lips, as if speaking to Helian Jiucheng, and also as if she was asking herself, getting to the bottom of things.
"I don't want to accept Xue Xintong as my disciple, mostly because of my nature and I don't want to get into trouble for nothing. But if you think about it carefully, is there a trace of contempt at all?"
He despised Xue Xintong's mediocre talent and felt that it was inconsistent with the always brilliant successor of Yiyuan Dao.
He is a peerless genius, but he is dissatisfied with the mediocrity of his disciples?
Have it?
Pei Xihe murmured: "But wasn't I just like her in the beginning? I looked down on her and despised her. Wasn't that also despising my original self?"
So what’s the original intention of cultivating Taoism?
When a famous master from the Imperial Academy was teaching and preaching, he once said: "The state of mind is created by the mind."
Everything you see, hear, and even a little bit of unconscious behavior are all reflections of a corner of your original mind. Pei Xihe followed the violent fluctuations in his heart, examined his words and deeds, and saw the despicable thoughts that he was unwilling to admit and subconsciously ignored.
The golden-haired fox jumped anxiously, its claws and tail scrambling, fearing that something might be wrong with Pei Xihe's state of mind.
But it turned out to be worse than he expected.
I have come a long way, and when I look back, I realize that I have lost my original self.
Pei Xihe sighed, and her inner demon was born.
She rubbed the fox's fur and asked him to eliminate the power of those magical fox demon pills.
If you fall into a trap, you can only get out on your own, and external help will have little effect.
Pei Xihe crossed her legs and closed her eyes, thinking quietly about herself. The golden-haired fox also curled up and stayed quietly in one place, not causing any disturbance to her.
The inner demon was born from distracting thoughts, urging the three corpses to be reborn, which should have backfired on her magical realm. But the "Tao Heart Seed Demon" condensed into a mysterious demon statue and forcibly suppressed it, never shaking Jianggong's soul.
After three or four hours, suddenly there was a strange sound coming from the sky and the earth.
Pei Xihe opened his eyes, his face changed slightly, and his mind power spread out. He saw ghosts lingering in the clouds in the sky, dark mist rising, and the residents' exclamations one after another came from the city.
A headless humanoid armor, holding a sickle and a ghost axe. No matter whether it was a mortal with no magic power or a monk with a little cultivation in front of him, he would kill it with one sword, causing blood to splash everywhere.
The headless giant beast made roaring sounds from its body, absorbing the souls of living beings.
The chaos of ghosts broke out. These headless ghosts were either human bodies, wolf-like beasts, or alien insects. At the very least, they exuded the aura of transformed gods. Pei Xihe's mental power was not fully swept away and was blocked by the black cloud, but he also detected the evil aura of several nine-level immortals.
Counting the past eleven years, they have come so quickly.
At the same time, monks in the city came to the rescue, and the government soldiers were fighting with each other, with Shangxianzhou Mu taking the lead.
"wrong."
Pei Xihe frowned and stood up, using his demonic mind to examine the details, he found that the blood and souls of the dead creatures were flowing to one place, surrounded by black clouds.
She concentrated and walked away, with golden light in her eyes, and the runes appeared, piercing through the cover.
A bloody flag and a familiar figure.
"Du Yeqing?!"
How could Du Yeqing, who had formed a friendship with him back then, appear here now? Moreover, her magic power was actually full of evil spirits. She was wearing heavy armor with ghost patterns, and her pretty face had quite ferocious ghost patterns.
She waved the big red flag in her hand, her expression showing a bit of joy and greed.
