Chapter 436 The truth of the matter, how to choose
Zuishenglou Restaurant.
After everyone left, Zuishenglou was once again immersed in its original tranquility, as if it had returned to the days when no one cared about it.
People only show up when it’s time for dinner.
Compared with the previous bustle, it is much quieter here.
Genghis Khan still stayed in his private residence, focusing on studying the instruments of the Buddhist faith.
Bai Zhantang paced back and forth idly, having no idea what to do.
At this moment, Bai Zhantang could no longer practice spiritual energy.
Whenever he pulled in the spiritual energy of the universe, his body felt as if its bones were being peeled off, causing unbearable pain.
It was completely unbearable.
And as time went on, he increasingly suspected that there was something seriously wrong with his body.
This made him feel very panic. The most important thing was that when those people left.
Most people's cultivation has surpassed his.
This made him feel very unwilling.
If he continues like this, the gap between him and everyone else will get bigger and bigger.
It was obvious that I was similar to them before.
Even after working hard, I surpassed many people.
But now it has become like this inexplicably.
Therefore, he felt more and more anxious.
Chen Fan stayed in his private residence and did not appear anywhere else.
Every day I am either practicing or gaining insights.
Time passes day by day.
Everything seems to be constantly evolving and changing.
But it seems like nothing has changed.
In the tavern, it seemed as if stagnant water was flowing quietly.
They have no enthusiasm for anything, and even the slightest interest cannot arouse their enthusiasm.
Nowadays, almost all the people who stay here are calm and peaceful.
They don't care about what happens outside.
One day.
Chen Fan got up early in the morning and saw the red sun shining brightly through the window. He pushed the window open and looked out. He saw lush green trees and the treetops were illuminated by the morning light.
Morning birds are chirping on the branches, and flowers are blooming on the branches, with crystal dewdrops hanging on the petals, sparkling with dazzling light.
Then he looked at Bai Zhantang guarding outside the door of room number.
He raised his eyebrows and eyes slightly, then spoke slowly.
"Is there something going on? You are waiting here on purpose."
Bai Zhantang suddenly appeared here, obviously waiting for him to arrive.
Moreover, Chen Fan vaguely knew what the other party's purpose was.
That should be because he felt something was wrong with his body.
When Chen Fan thought of this, a deep sympathy flashed in his eyes.
After a moment's silence, Bai Zhantang slowly raised his eyebrows and slowly began to speak to the person in front of him.
"Dear shopkeeper, I know all this. Although you have reservations about me, I know that this is out of love for me. But I don't want to be kept in the dark forever. I want to know what happened?"
“Perhaps it can be said that I do not wish to spend my life in obscurity.”
"I can tolerate even the worst outcome."
"Please tell me the new truth. No matter what the result is, I will not commit suicide."
He really suffered from this kind of anxiety and couldn't sleep day and night.
When Bai Zhantang said this, his brows were drooped, as if he was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere.
He was like a dying man, with a heavy breath of anger about him.
When Chen Fan stared at the person in front of him, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. For Bai Diantang, this was indeed an indescribable feeling.
Witnessing those who were once inferior to him, now have surpassed his strength.
This is an extremely severe test for the heart and requires tremendous effort and patience.
Finally, Chen Fan's breathing gradually became heavy, leaving only a light sigh.
There was a sense of helplessness in his voice, as if he was telling something.
"In my previous reflections, I had thought that covering all these things up might bring you more benefits."
"However, what you said today does make me feel a little ashamed."
When Chen Fan said this, a deep emotion was revealed in his voice.
Bai Zhantang stood up slowly, his eyes revealing a firm determination, as if he was pursuing his goal.
It seems like an unyielding pursuit, longing for a unique answer.
Although I don’t know what the answer is.
But even at its worst, how bad could it be?
At this moment, he had entered a state of depression.
A hopeless state of life.
Feeling hopeful about nothing.
Apart from drinking every day, he has no interest in anything.
"Boss, just tell me, no matter what the consequences are, I can bear them."
When mentioning this, Bai Zhantang's voice trembled slightly, as if he had already accepted the arrangement of fate.
However, when he glanced at the shopkeeper again, he found that Chen Fan had been silent for a long time and had not uttered any words.
His heart instantly sank into a deep depression, as if he was swallowed up by an invisible force.
A series of bad thoughts emerged in his mind.
Even at this moment, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but wonder whether he was about to face the end of his life?
If not, why would the shopkeeper in front of him have such a melancholy expression?
Chen Fan stared at the person in front of him, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart.
Looking at each other, it seemed as if tears were already welling up in his eyes.
Suddenly, a secret emotion came over him, lurking deep in his heart.
In fact, this series of events is not impossible to reveal to the person in front of you.
Chen Fan was worried that his mind was not strong enough. After telling him the truth, there was a high possibility that his Taoism would be destroyed and he would collapse.
However, at present, Bai Zhantang has foreseen the worst outcome.
After telling the other party the truth, they should be able to accept the result.
"Boss, just tell me, am I going to die soon?"
Chen Fan stared at him, his eyes fixed on him for quite a while, then slowly shook his head.
A steady voice rippled in the air, and slowly spoke.
“It has not reached such a serious level.”
"Maybe it's better than you think, but not much better."
Chen Fan stared at Bai Zhantang in front of him, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart, but he did not pretend to be profound.
Instead, he expressed it directly without beating around the bush.
"When we found you outside the secret realm, you were already planted with a demon seed."
"Demon species?"
Bai Zhantang subconsciously repeated a sentence, expressing his deepest feelings.
Deep in his mind, a strong reaction suddenly emerged.
What exactly is the demon species?
As the name suggests, it produces demon seeds.
Once the evil thoughts deep in one's heart are aroused, the subsequent behavior will completely deviate from the principles of reason.
It can bring out the darkest corners of one’s heart.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Bai Zhantang's mind, and then, with a gleam in his eyes, he stared at Chen Fan.
"Shopkeeper, what did you say? How could someone have planted a demon seed in me?"
Bai Zhantang slowly took a few steps back with an expression of disbelief on his face.
At this moment, Bai Zhantang seemed to have suffered a devastating blow, which dealt a heavy blow to his heart.
He kept shaking his head and his face was as pale as paper.
Chen Fan stared at Bai Zhantang in front of him, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart, as if he was in an indescribable state of mind at this moment.
A subtle wave of emotion surfaced on his face, and then he spoke to comfort her.
"Fortunately, we discovered the problem in time."
"I have used the power of spiritual energy to imprison the demon in you."
"However, I have not yet discovered a better way to troubleshoot this problem!"
Chen Fan did not reveal that the realization of all these things requires his own efforts.
Only by relying on his own wisdom and courage can he conquer the demons. Apart from that, the skills and methods he masters are very few.
If there are no distracting thoughts in the heart, or if there is no ill intention at all, then this demon will most likely never be attracted and leave.
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment before revealing the news.
Bai Zhantang is the waiter of his restaurant. Others have gone out to gain experience, but Bai Zhantang has no choice but to stay here.
Therefore, he still hoped that the other party would be safe and sound.
Chen Fan's voice was as calm as water. "Everything needs to be done by yourself. You cannot touch any external objects."
"Therefore, at this moment, I am not specifically asking you to practice, but rather urging you to reflect on your own behavior."
“Think carefully about where your future path will take you. This is a question that requires careful consideration.”
When this matter was mentioned, the two parties fell into silence for a moment.
The emotions that were out of control just now seemed to be washed away without a trace by the torrent of time in an instant.
Bai Zhantang's face showed a calm and peaceful expression, as if he was silently accepting the arrangement of fate.
In fact, he hadn’t given it any serious thought.
Why did all these unfortunate events fall on his shoulders? It is really heartbreaking.
However, when faced with difficulties, worrying and hesitating will not have any practical effect.
Everything has happened and they have to find a solution.
Unless there is a better solution, there is no other viable option.
As the shopkeeper said, in this world, one can only achieve success by relying on one's own efforts. Apart from that, the abilities of others are obviously limited.
At this moment, all kinds of strange ideas emerged in Bai Zhantang's mind, but in the end these ideas were completely overturned.
It finally turned into a deep sigh, expressing the inner helplessness and loss.
He bowed deeply to Chen Fan in front of him to express his respect and gratitude to Chen Fan.
"Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for telling me the truth."
When talking about this, Bai Zhantang's face revealed a deep sadness.
It feels like I have reached the end of my life and there is no hope for the future.
Chen Fan opened his mouth to offer comfort.
However, during this particular period of time, Bai Zhantang, who had accepted all these things, seemed to be in a dilemma where he had no idea where to start.
After a brief silence, Chen Fan slowly spoke.
“In reality, these things have not reached their worst state.”
"You are much better now than before."
"If you follow our previous conjecture, then you are now in a state of extreme collapse."
"Surprisingly, you were able to stick to your beliefs. If you continue, there are now two paths ahead to choose from."
When Bai Zhantang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.
"Really? In that case, can I still be saved?"
The joy could not be concealed on his face.
It was like a person who fell into the water and suddenly found a life-saving straw.
Bai Zhantang was eager to get a definite answer from Chen Fan.
When Chen Fan saw Bai Zhantang appearing in front of him, his fiery eyes revealed a strong desire.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Fan slowly nodded and faced the person in front of him.
"Between these two, your choice will determine your fate."
"If you give up the cultivation of spiritual energy, then you will no longer be disturbed by the demon species and will achieve a purer state."
"You can live a long life, 500 years, at least 500 years."
"And you can stay here until you die."
When Bai Zhantang heard the first method, he felt instantly disappointed.
After calming down a little, his eyes fell on the person in front of him.
"Shopkeeper, what is the second method?"
When Bai Zhantang spoke, his voice revealed a sense of decadence, as if he was telling of the loss and helplessness in his heart.
Chen Fan nodded with an indifferent expression, as if he was thinking about something.
"If we choose the second option, we will face more difficult challenges."
"During this cultivation process, one actually has to go through tens of thousands of times more hardships and difficulties than the average person. This is a very difficult state."
“However, some of the benefits gained are incomparable.”
"The demon that is parasitic on you can stimulate your potential on the one hand, but it can also disrupt the demonic barriers in your heart on the other."
"Only when you can effectively suppress the demonic obstacles in your heart, or completely get rid of them, will the demon seeds not have any influence on you at all."
When Bai Zhantang heard these words, he instantly understood the profound meaning behind them.
Bai Zhantang seemed to be in a trance.
No matter which one he chose now, his heart was filled with an irrepressible unwillingness.
Chen Fan looked at his expression at the moment, without saying anything, choosing to remain silent.
After a casual glance, he immediately looked away.
Bai Zhantang needs to think deeply about these things in order to better understand their implications.
Others were unable to offer any assistance at all.
