113 Chapter 113
This young couple who have spent nearly a thousand years together do not have the exaggerated and corny confessions and the deep love that is always remembered in their daily lives like in idol dramas. Their life is ordinary and warm, and everyone who is close to them is infected by this relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Ning Shu and his group lived here with them for about a week, and by the time they left, they had become very good friends.
"Xiaoying, Yunting, these two amphibian flowers are for you. I've connected you both to our branch server, so you can spend time online..." Ning Shu was reluctant to leave: "We will video chat often in the future. Please let me know if you need anything!"
"Well, thank you. Now that we have this, we can finally talk more with other people!" Xiaoying hugged Ning Shu tightly before leaving, and took the opportunity to whisper encouragement in her ear: "Ningshu, don't isolate yourself. Give yourself a chance when you meet the right person!"
On the other side, Xu Hengzi stood beside the flying boat and waited for them to leave, leaving him with nothing to do and could only stare at Song Yunting opposite him.
The atmosphere was filled with a faint awkwardness. Perhaps unable to bear such a depressing atmosphere, Xu Hengzi pretended to be calm, cleared his throat, and asked for something to talk about:
"Ahem! Since you've been obsessed with it for a thousand years, I'm sure you have some understanding of the way of love.
Every time a disciple in my sect ends a relationship, their cultivation level increases. I've been pondering the reason for this for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. Do you have any unique insights?"
Xu Hengzi had originally thought that Song Yunting's question was a complete waste of time, considering his near-zero ability to express himself. Unexpectedly, Song Yunting actually opened his Double-Life Flower. He lowered his head and wrote on the screen for a moment, then showed it to Xu Hengzi.
When I was still in the Tianyan Sect, my master taught us that the Way of Heaven is merciless, and that only by relinquishing love can one achieve the Great Dao and embark on the path to immortality. But how can one abandon something that one doesn't already have?
If one does not understand the joy and pain of love, then the love that one gives up for the sake of cultivation will be of no weight at all and will be no different from ordinary cultivation methods.
Xu Hengzi looked down at Song Yunting's answer and remained silent for a long time.
The fairy boat gradually went away, and the figures of Song Yunting and Xiaoying standing hand in hand became farther and farther away until they completely disappeared. Until now, there is still no unified answer to the question of "what is love". People are sinking and sobering in it, suffering and happy, repeating over and over again, and never getting tired of it.
The flying boat was flying alone in the sky, and soothing music began to play along with the credits slowly emerging.
"Sect Master, this is the documentary that I filmed with the Hehuan Sect some time ago. It's now being shown in Linghu Island, Chaoyin City, and Quefeng City, and it's received a very good response."
In the Tianyan Sect's meeting hall, Xu Hengzi turned off the screen in front of him and bowed to the Sect Master sitting in the main seat to apologize:
"Although this action had its reasons, it was my fault for taking the initiative and leading the disciples to cooperate with the Hehuan Sect. Up to now, Chuanbai has still violated the sect rules and been with the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect. I am willing to accept the punishment for all my mistakes."
Xu Hengzi's face was pale as he lowered it, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from above. He looked up tentatively, and with a determined heart, he continued to speak:
"Master, our previous approach of forcibly separating couples was too harsh, causing indelible psychological scars in many of our otherwise gifted disciples... Furthermore, our disciples were far too focused on love, and overcorrecting has become a demonic obstacle...
For the future development of the sect's disciples, I would like to ask that the sect's rules...should they be slightly modified...?"
"Hahaha, hahahaha..." Before Xu Hengzi finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of inexplicable laughter from above. Cold sweat broke out on Xu Hengzi's back, and he swallowed back the words he had been hesitant to say.
After all, this proposal is truly "against the decision of ancestors" for Tianyan Sect. Whoever brings it up will face huge risks. If the sect leader or other senior officials accuse someone of "betraying their teacher and destroying their ancestors", the consequences will be much more serious than having a love relationship.
The rules of the Tianyan Sect have been implemented for so many years, and it is not certain that no one has ever discovered something wrong, but no one has ever dared to speak up about it. This shows how difficult it is to be the first to speak out.
Xu Hengzi just kept bowing and listening to the Sect Master's laughter. Just when he thought he was going to die, the Sect Master finally spoke. He raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears of laughter:
"How pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world. Aren't you the most strict about matters of love? Now that your disciple is in love, you're running off to the Hehuan Sect too? Is it fun there?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hengzi felt a huge shock in his heart. His knees softened and he fell to the ground. "My loyalty to the Tianyan Sect is known to all, and neither I nor Chuan Bai have the slightest intention of defecting to the Hehuan Sect! I went to the Hehuan Sect to hide for a reason. It was because they had recently..."
Xu Hengzi didn't dare to hide anything and directly revealed everything about his recent discovery of the power of the spiritual network and his undercover attempt to explore the secrets of the Hehuan Sect. After he finished speaking, he heard no movement from above. He was so anxious that he swore:
"Every word my disciple just said is the truth. If I conceal even a single word, I will be punished by the heavens and my soul will be destroyed!"
The clan leader sighed quietly, "Hey, I was just joking, why are you so scared? Wasn't my joke funny enough?"
Xu Hengzi, still in shock, said: ...
Dare not say a word.jpg
The Sect Master didn't really care that Xu Hengzi didn't respond. He didn't comment on Xu Hengzi's suggestion, but continued with the previous topic: "Since you said you were going undercover, have you gained anything in the past six months?"
"Yes... I have successfully connected to the spiritual network. Now I can freely browse all the content on the spiritual network regardless of distance..." Xu Hengzi showed the double-dwelling flower on his wrist: "The documentary you just watched was broadcast using the spiritual network. The data and cases in it were all witnessed by me personally, and every word is true..."
"Okay, I'll consider your proposal." The sect leader interrupted Xu Hengzi's words and extended his hand enthusiastically, "Xu Hengzi, can you lend me your magic weapon for a few days?"
Xu Hengzi wanted to persuade her a few more times, but thinking of what had just happened, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only reluctantly leave the flowers in his hand, and then left, looking back every few steps.
Before Xu Hengzi walked out of the gate, the sect leader raised the golden silk flower in his hand and looked at it curiously in the sunlight.
He had heard a long time ago that this thing seemed to be very popular among his disciples, especially those staying in the City That Never Sleeps and Chaoyin City, who were simply enjoying it and didn't want to leave. Recently, the area around Quefeng City was also added, and wherever they went, all the cultivators were addicted to it.
What is so magical? The sect leader was a little curious, but as the leader of a sect, he couldn't just run around, so he had to summon the disciples who had returned from those places to inquire:
"Hahaha, I heard you were so engrossed in playing with a magical weapon from the Hehuan Sect over there? Can you tell me about that?"
The unlucky disciple he summoned: ...
What? What? Do you think I've defected to the enemy?
Testing me! The Sect Master is definitely testing me! If I don't answer well, my head will definitely be gone!
All the disciples knelt and kowtowed without exception: "Master! My loyalty to the Tianyan Sect is evident to all! I swear I have absolutely no intention of betraying my master and ancestors. If I disobey you, I will be damned to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn!"
The clan leader, who couldn't get a word in at all: ...
What the hell is going on? Why are we talking about this?
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, isn't it funny?"
The trembling disciple: ...
Dare not say a word.jpg
Basically, every time the sect leader inquired, the disciples would end up swearing an oath of loyalty. Over time, the persistent rumors that the sect leaders were scheming, liked to make threats, were deeply suspicious, and would take revenge for any slight began to spread crazily.
Well, after such a long time, no one believes that their leader simply has low emotional intelligence.
So the very sad sect leader had to put away his curiosity and be an "unfathomable" sect leader quietly, until today, when he finally seized this excellent opportunity again.
"What's so fun about this thing? I'm going to find out today!" The sect leader input a spiritual power to activate the Shuangqi Flower, which had been shut down because it left its owner. The light screen appeared in front of him again. He imitated Xu Hengzi's actions just now and clicked on the screen, and soon opened the video website that had just played the documentary.
There were several clips of popular movies and TV series on the homepage, and the various fancy character covers were dazzling. The sect leader squinted his eyes and carefully screened for a moment, and finally decided to click on a video with Xu Hengzi on the cover to find out.
As soon as I opened the video, before I could figure out what it was about, comments started rolling in front of my eyes, saying some ambiguous words that seemed like some kind of warning.
"High energy ahead!"
"High energy ahead, fellow Daoists! Those with fragile hearts, retreat quickly, or it will be too late!"
"This video is a special of Zixiao and the old demon Xuheng. If you don't like sadomasochism, run away now!"
"Old Demon Xuheng? What does that mean? How did Xuhengzi become an old demon?" The sect leader frowned in confusion.
Suddenly, a female cultivator with an innocent face appeared on the screen. A sword pierced through her chest mercilessly, and then the man who drew the sword turned and left without looking back. With the sad and mournful background music, time passed slowly, and the people in the picture turned into the Black Mountain Old Demon and Xu Hengzi.
The clan leader, startled by the lightning strike at the opening, said: ...
"Damn it! Old Demon Xuheng! Old Demon Xuheng, you're a scumbag who killed his wife to achieve enlightenment!"
"Ling'er trusts you so much! I'll fight you, wow, wow..."
"Are you sad? There's more to come, hahaha!"
Sure enough, a film clip of "The Temptation of Cultivating Immortality" followed, in which the young-looking Xu Hengzi bullied the kind and innocent Ru Xue in various ways. Not only did he treat the female cultivator like a slave every day, but in the end he pushed her off the Luoxian Cliff.
The shocked leader: ...
Although we are ruthless, you are too ruthless!
