Li Zang found the diary he wrote as a teenager suffering from chuunibyou (eighth-grader syndrome).
Filled with shame, he just wanted to burn it—until a damn system hijacked it and uploaded ...
Chapter 72 I have memorized the appearance of my benefactor. Next time I will make a wooden one!
Li Zang still has some good feelings towards Zhang Xuanguang, who knows how to repay kindness. People who know how to be grateful are at least much better than ungrateful ungrateful people.
However, being too grateful is not a good thing.
This will bring a huge psychological burden to the benefactor... At least that's how Li Zang feels now.
People like Zhang Xuanguang are really oppressive.
This is not sarcasm, but sincere admiration.
I just want to ask if anyone has ever seen someone sliding down and kneeling down for the purpose of kneeling down, do you think that is a sliding down and kneeling celebration after scoring a goal...
"My benefactor, I haven't seen you for ten years. Are you okay?" Zhang Xuanguang looked at Li Zang with tears in his eyes.
“Not…not bad.”
"My benefactor, I still remember what you said ten years ago. May I ask, has China's spiritual energy revived?" Zhang Xuanguang's eyes were full of anticipation.
Li Zang nodded with a tingling scalp and said, "The spiritual energy has begun to revive. You will see it for yourself when you return."
Zhang Xuanguang immediately showed a pleasantly surprised expression: "This is really great."
"How good?"
Li Zang said slowly: "With your current cultivation level, even if there is no spiritual energy revival, your life span is enough to support you to obtain enough energy for cultivation through other methods. The spiritual energy revival is not necessarily a good thing for you. After all, you will meet people who compete with you for resources in the future."
Of course, longevity has its advantages...
To put it bluntly, things like martial arts require energy.
The uniqueness of Reiki lies in the fact that the moment you knock on the door of spiritual practice, you can then find ways to use other energies as substitutes.
Take time to study, spend more time, electricity, wind energy, fire energy, study more and try more, there may be a chance of success.
Of course, this is based on the premise of looking at the problem from the perspective of the Emperor of Eternal Night and Darkness.
In the spiritual practice circle, fighting for resources is a common occurrence.
Unless you don't need resources like him, sooner or later you will be beaten to a bloody pulp due to limited resources.
Li Zang seemed to know what Zhang Xuanguang was thinking. The main reason was that there was not enough revived spiritual energy in the country right now. If they wanted to grab it, except for Momo who could get some, everyone else would have to drink the leftovers.
That’s right, in terms of cultivation level alone, Zhang Xuanguang is not as good as Zhao Lingtian.
There is still several levels of difference between the two of them.
"I won't compete with others at all! I wish there were more practitioners in the world."
Li Zang asked curiously, "Why?"
Zhang Xuanguang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "At least, I won't be alone anymore."
Li Zang didn't say anything, but he roughly guessed the meaning of Zhang Xuanguang's words in his heart.
"My benefactor, you don't know how I have survived these three hundred years. I am so lonely!"
Perhaps because they were both practitioners and of the same kind, Zhang Xuanguang began to open his heart in front of Li Zang and told him everything he had experienced over the past three hundred years.
Once upon a time, he was also a man with a home.
But with practice and the passage of time, everything gradually disappeared.
Zhang Xuanguang smiled bitterly and said, "I watched my loved ones grow old and die one by one, but I was powerless to do anything."
"I once thought that getting the opportunity to practice cultivation was the luckiest thing in my life, but when I found that I couldn't find anyone like me, I gradually felt an indescribable loneliness."
"It's so scary to be living in a sea of people but only be able to watch them passing by me."
Li Zang asked, "Then why do you want to practice?"
If you are afraid of loneliness, just don’t practice.
As long as you don't practice and make breakthroughs, your lifespan will end one day and you will die sooner or later.
Otherwise, just cut your neck.
I don't know what happens after death though...
A true practitioner actually needs to overcome not only the many difficulties that come from practicing, but also the mental and emotional problems that come with practicing.
The strongest and most difficult to overcome is indeed loneliness.
Humans are social animals, and this cannot be changed even if one becomes an immortal.
Li Zang couldn't understand it now, but he could imagine it.
After all, the two previous lives in his body now have lived for countless years, and they have both experienced endless loneliness.
But they did not collapse.
If one day, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, you are the only one left around you, that would indeed be a terrifying thing.
Of course, if you have enough strength, you can actually take your family members with you on the path of cultivation.
There is a saying that goes, "When one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper." The correct usage of this saying is here.
Li Zang also understood Zhang Xuanguang's situation. After all, they were living in the Dharma Ending Age, and most likely he wanted to embark on the path of cultivation with his family. The possibility could not be said to be small, but it should be said that it was impossible.
The loneliness that Zhang Xuanguang talked about is real, but it is not certain how painful it is. Since he has been able to persist for more than 300 years and has been practicing without interruption, it is obvious that Zhang Xuanguang has overcome the mental problems brought about by loneliness.
Li Zang asked curiously, "Then how did you let it go?"
"My benefactor, I am not letting it go..."
Zhang Xuanguang sighed: "I don't dare to love."
"I'm afraid that anyone I fall in love with will leave me again."
"For a practitioner like me who is seeking the truth, what I fear is not loneliness, but the pain of having something and then losing it. The pain of constantly repeating this kind of gain and loss is really too torturous..."
“So, I no longer love. My heart is filled with longevity, eternity, and the endless path before my eyes.”
“Perhaps one day, I will die on this road of pursuit, but apart from doing this, I have nothing else that can be called obsession.”
"Money, beauty, power, these are all things that I will get tired of. Apart from practicing Buddhism, I have nothing else."
"But, benefactor, I am very happy to meet you!"
"I am even happier after hearing about the revival of spiritual energy."
Zhang Xuanguang murmured, "If there is a way to find a home, who would be willing to leave their hometown?"
The sea of stars is great, but not all spiritual planets are suitable for human survival.
If you were alone on a desolate planet, with your back to all living things, that feeling, hiss…
Li Zang didn't want to discuss this topic any further, so he said, "Okay, I came to see you, mainly to tell you to be less troublesome when you return home, be more law-abiding, and especially don't show off your strength casually."
Based on the current communication, Zhang Xuanguang is still a good old man. There is no need for him to stay in the Arctic and worship his ice sculpture every day...
It’s weird when you think about it.
"Wait a minute, benefactor, I'll return this to you." Zhang Xuanguang took out a smaller magical bead and wanted to return it to Li Zang.
"No wonder I was wondering why your cultivation level only increased a little bit. It turns out you didn't absorb it all. Forget it. I won't take back the things I gave away. You can take them."
"???"
Zhang Xuanguang was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
He is already very powerful, okay... Even in fictional novels, it is rare for a person to go from the initial stage of Spiritual Transformation to the complete Spiritual Transformation in ten years, okay...
"I'm leaving first."
After Li Zang finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Xuanguang and disappeared instantly with a teleportation.
As for taking Zhang Xuanguang with me, forget it. It’s a pity.
Zhang Xuanguang was feeling the Arctic wind and felt a little dazed.
Wait, I seem to have forgotten to ask my benefactor’s name again.
But it doesn’t matter, I have already memorized my benefactor’s appearance.
Next time, I will find a piece of sandalwood and carve a wooden statue to carry with me.
Zhang Xuanguang silently gave a thumbs up to his own idea!
