Chapter 77: Persistent pursuit gave birth to endless pain...
Lianchi, Xiaoqiu and others soon became blurred background boards.
This was something Chi Yu found difficult to grasp. Naturally, he focused all his attention on Xie Xiyi. He asked Xie Xiyi, "Senior Brother Xuanji, since you've been with us all this time, just tell us the answer directly. Senior Brother Lianchi has been trapped here for over half a month."
Xie Xiyi said naturally, "I can't help you."
Chi Yu didn't believe it, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you must be lying to me."
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "You think I'm too powerful."
Chi Yu couldn't tell from his expression whether he was joking or not. However, there was one thing Chi Yu wanted to clarify: "It's not that I think Senior Brother Xuan Ji is incredibly powerful; it's that you are inherently powerful."
Xie Xiyi could tell he meant it sincerely and couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and touched Chi Yu's face, then naturally slid his hand down to hold his slender neck. "Let's go and rest."
This is a very intimate and even possessive gesture. After all, the neck is also the fragile lifeline of a monk. People with a sense of boundaries will not touch this place easily. Even parents will only touch their children when they are young.
But Xie Xiyi was so calm, and Chi Yu was so used to it, which made Lian Chi, who was standing next to him, feel confused.
He hesitated to speak, but there was no suitable opportunity to speak——
At this moment, Chi Yu finally remembered Lian Chi. He turned his head and looked over, his lips curled up, revealing a smile that was pure and dazzling, like a gem. "Brother Lian Chi, I'm sorry I forgot about you."
Lianchi said: "...It's okay."
He said somewhat dryly, "Junior Brother Long, you and Senior Brother Xuan Ji have a really good relationship."
Chi Yu said, "Yes, Senior Brother Xuan Ji has been helping me along the way, otherwise my cultivation wouldn't have progressed so quickly."
Lianchi said, "I see."
He looked at Xuan Ji, the future Buddhist disciple who had always been cold and arrogant in the eyes of many of his fellow disciples. At this moment, he was looking at Junior Brother Long, his golden eyes filled with a captivating look and a strong intention of occupation.
Lian Chi has always admired Xuan Ji. He was born into a family of immortal cultivators and had no shortage of resources for cultivation. Although he was not a genius, he was able to advance to the Golden Core Realm at the age of almost a hundred.
Xuan Ji came to Luopo Zen Sect when he was about fifteen years old, and he had already reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. He was a unique genius. Now he has entered the golden elixir stage before he turned twenty.
The world of cultivation respects strength and even more so potential and talent, so even the Nascent Soul disciples of Dao Di Jingshe dare not look down on Xuan Ji.
In short, although their relationship was not close, Lian Chi held Xuan Ji in high regard.
But now he couldn't understand it.
Lian Chi tentatively reached out and placed his hand on Chi Yu's shoulder, "Junior Brother Long, I suddenly remembered something..."
Although he said so, his eyes were always fixed on Xuan Ji. Sure enough, when his palm touched Junior Brother Long's shoulder, Xuan Ji's gaze instantly fell on his hand. The corners of his upturned lips drooped, and a faint sense of coldness and hostility floated in his eyes.
Then, Xuan Ji looked at him, his golden eyes were as sharp as swords, with a hint of murderous intent.
Lianchi's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Chi Yu, however, was completely unaware of this undercurrent. Seeing Lian Chi pause, he urged, "Brother Lian Chi, what's going on?"
Lian Chi calmly withdrew his hand and asked, "Junior Brother Long, I remember you told me about cultivating your spiritual consciousness. Was it also Senior Brother Xuan Ji who assisted you in this cultivation?"
Chi Yu said: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Lian Chi looked at Xuan Ji. After he withdrew his hand, Xuan Ji calmly suppressed his hostility and returned his gaze to Junior Brother Long. The corners of his lips curled up slightly with a hint of joy, and the air around him seemed to brighten.
Such an atmosphere... Lian Chi is not a fool. Being over a hundred years old, he has enough experience.
He was secretly shocked, but a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered and wanted to ask about the details. However, every cultivator's cultivation method is a secret door and cannot be announced to others at will. Junior Brother Long, don't talk about spiritual consciousness cultivation with others from now on."
Chi Yu smiled and said, "I see. Thank you, Brother Lianchi, for telling me."
Lian Chi went to see Xuan Ji, but he didn't react to his words at all. This kind of indifferent and arrogant attitude... He was worthy of being Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Lian Chi watched them chatting again, completely forgetting himself and putting them out of his mind again.
Lian Chi looked at the little boy beside Senior Brother Xuan Ji. He was holding the demon and watching them walk forward with resentment. Just as he was about to raise his leg to catch up, Lian Chi grabbed him by the collar and said, "Little boy, I have something to ask you."
Xiaoqiu stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Senior Brother Lianchi."
Lianchi smiled and said, "You haven't entered Luoper yet, so you don't need to call me senior brother. Just call me senior."
Xiaoqiu said, "Okay, Brother Lianchi."
"..." Lian Chi didn't bother with him about this. He asked Xiaoqiu, "Little boy, the relationship between your master and Junior Brother Long is a bit too good. Don't you think there's something wrong?"
Xiaoqiu naturally noticed it in his heart, but he couldn't be sure. He was just looking for a reference object out of habit, so he said in a evasive manner, "No, what's wrong, Brother Lianchi?"
Lianchi asked, "When did they become so close?"
Xiaoqiu said, "It's been half a year. Our Highness and Brother Aotian hit it off right away, otherwise they wouldn't have teamed up to do missions together."
That’s true, but Lian Chi wasn’t surprised. After all, Junior Brother Long’s performance was truly outstanding. He was lively, cheerful, and intelligent. Even Lecturer Hong liked him, so it wasn’t hard to understand why the arrogant Senior Brother Xuan Ji also liked him.
Lian Chi confirmed, "Are you sure? Have they been this close since half a year ago?"
Chi Yu often warned Xiao Qiu not to talk too much in front of outsiders, and he always kept it in mind. Although Lian Chi was a good person and Ao Tian was also on good terms with him, Xiao Qiu still held back from revealing his thoughts and replied nonchalantly, "Of course, it was only half a year ago, Senior Brother Lian Chi. You'll get used to it. They tend to be so nice that they forget about others."
He patted Lianchi on the back and said, "We, the younger brothers, should not compete with the master for favor."
Lian Chi was stunned and laughed.
They followed Chi Yu to the restaurant, and Chi Yu even booked a room for him. Lian Chi saw that there were only three rooms, and couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Long, are you and Senior Brother Xuan Ji sharing the same room?"
Chi Yu said, "Of course."
Lianchi: “…”
He looked at Xuan Ji, but he didn't react at all. His expression was still relaxed and happy, as it was when he was facing Junior Brother Long.
The hand was either on Junior Brother Long's neck or holding his slender shoulders.
Chi Yu didn't know that Lian Chi was brainstorming. It was difficult for a cultivator to feel tired. Even if he was tired, he could take a pill and be fully recovered.
He and Xie Xiyi entered the room. The rooms in the mortal restaurant were much more luxurious than those in the restaurant run by monks. They were fully equipped with vases, stone ornaments, and embroidered screens. Even the beds in the Tianzi room were large solid wood carved beds with thick bedding embroidered with red peonies and mandarin ducks.
Naturally, there was only one bed.
Chi Yu first took out his tea set and brewed a pot of tea. The tea was naturally the Qingxin Wudao tea provided by Xie Xiyi. It was a specialty of Zizaizhou and its production was extremely rare. However, Xie Xiyi had several tea cakes. He didn't like tea very much, so he gave them all to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu brewed a cup of tea, took a sip, walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the pedestrians downstairs. At night, there was a curfew, and there were even fewer pedestrians. The whole street was dark and eerie.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji, since you followed me today, you should know my confusion, right? Please help me solve this confusion, what should I do?" Chi Yu closed the window, turned around and looked at Xie Xiyi.
Xie Xiyi was standing in front of the screen, contemplating the embroidery on it. When she heard Chi Yu's words, she said nonchalantly, "I can't interfere, because this is your opportunity."
Chi Yu was stunned. "My chance?"
Xie Xiyi said, "When one reaches a certain level in the practice of the Anuttara Buddhist path, one can see the boundary between reality and illusion. This secret realm is something you are destined to encounter."
Chi Yu: “Ah?”
He walked up to Xie Xiyi and said, "Brother Xuanji, can you tell me the details?"
Xie Xiyi turned around. Although there was a big difference in their heights at the beginning, it was not much different now.
After all, Chi Yu's most rapid growth period in reality was between the ages of seventeen and eighteen.
However, Xie Xiyi was much stronger than Chi Yu, and he was wearing the wide robes of the Roper Zen sect, which made his figure appear even wider, completely covering Chi Yu in shadow.
Xie Xiyi's golden eyes reflected Chi Yu's beautiful face. He reached out and plucked a strand of hair that had fallen from Chi Yu's cheek, tucking it behind his ear. He said slowly, "I can see a causal thread in this secret realm that connects to you. This means this is your chance. If I get involved, I'm afraid things will change."
Chi Yu understood and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Xuanji, have you improved your inner skills?"
As a future Buddhist disciple, Xie Xiyi not only needs to practice external cultivation, but also internal cultivation. The external cultivation is the sixth level of the Golden Elixir Realm, and the internal cultivation is the advanced Buddhist method. At this time, he is still in the second level of the Zen Light and Sound Heaven realm.
Xie Xiyi looked at his joyful face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and said: "No, it's just that our spiritual consciousness has merged, which has slightly increased my magical power. I only have this perception of you."
Although Chi Yu was a little disappointed that he hadn't made any progress, he changed his mind and thought that it was already very good for Senior Brother Xuan Ji to have reached this level of cultivation at his age.
He put his disappointment behind him and asked with great interest, "Then Senior Brother Xuanji, can you sense it again? Can you sense anything else?"
Xie Xiyi didn't want to spoil his fun, so he said, "I can see that you have a deep connection with this secret realm. It's something you trust, and it will help you and ultimately liberate you. It's a treasure bestowed upon you by the heavens. No matter where you go, it will appear along your path, so I took the initiative to bring you here."
He said the last part, then suddenly grabbed Chi Yu's neck and asked, "I've always wanted to ask you this. I see a road filled with light in your mind. Where do you want to go?"
After their spiritual consciousnesses were connected, Chi Yu could no longer hide many things from Xie Xiyi.
Xie Xiyi's cultivation was higher than Chi Yu's, which made Chi Yu's state of mind like a book that Xie Xiyi could easily read, and Chi Yu could only perceive things that Xie Xiyi took the initiative and intended to let him know.
Xie Xiyi has always restrained himself from reading this book because he believes that there should be boundaries between people. Stepping beyond the boundaries at will will sow obsession.
But persistent pursuit will give rise to endless pain.
Over the past six months, Xie Xiyi could see that outside the devil's heart, the strange thought was growing vigorously, until it grew into a flesh-and-blood alien object that was the same as the devil's heart.
This foreign object was harmless and would not affect his cultivation. It would even make him happy and he would often have the idea of advancing.
Therefore, Xie Xiyi let it go again.
The result of letting go was that the contemplation of Long Aotian reached a new realm——
He always sees some phantoms about Long Aotian.
Sometimes it is Long Aotian’s dashing and sharp figure when facing the enemy, and sometimes it is him drinking and having fun with his subordinates around him, with a pair of bright eyes, a posture that is more determined, stronger, and more indomitable than at this time.
Sometimes he is sitting by a grave with a sad expression on his face, and sometimes he is holding a child, full of energy, firm and reliable, with a smile on his face as bright as the sun.
Sometimes he was a determined figure, holding a sword in one hand and dragging a masked black monk with the other, step by step into the secret realm; sometimes he was jumping up and down in childish anger, fighting with a man on the ground with his hands and feet like a ten-year-old child.
Xie Xiyi glimpsed a certain destiny from these illusions.
This is a magical power that only Zen Master Ruo Ku can possess at that level of cultivation, but because he is closely connected with Long Aotian, he was able to "foresee" so many illusions in advance.
Xie Xiyi looked at the age of the phantom and could not see much difference -
It was difficult for him to take Ruo Ku's prophecy to him seriously, but it was also difficult for him not to take the illusion he saw seriously.
No matter what kind of illusion it was, Long Aotian was not there, which made Xie Xiyi very concerned.
Caring easily leads to obsession. Persistent pursuit without getting an answer will lead to endless pain.
Xie Xiyi could feel that because he cared so much, his mood began to become unstable, and several sections of the Buddha's bones dimmed slightly.
His inner cultivation level and realm were slowly declining because of this incident.
This made Xie Xiyi's restraint fail, and when Chi Yu was not paying attention, he changed Chi Yu's mood.
From here I could see the narrow path that seemed to have no end.
This means that the owner has a place that only he or she can go to.
He was not in those phantoms, and Long Aotian's state of mind also had a path that would not lead him there.
Xie Xiyi didn't want to care and pretended that he had never read Chi Yu's mood.
But after holding it in for a long time, I finally failed today.
His previous ease and joy faded away, his brows and eyes became a little colder, and he stared deeply at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xie Xiyi meant. He opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "I want to go home."
After their spiritual consciousnesses were connected, Chi Yu could no longer deceive Xie Xiyi, so Xie Xiyi knew that he was telling the truth. "Go home? Where is your home?"
Chi Yu: "My home address is No. 192, xx Street, xx City, xx Province, Z Country, Earth, Asia, in the Milky Way Solar System."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
It’s so long, and I don’t understand why it’s so impressive.
Chi Yu glanced at Xie Xiyi's expression and said cautiously, "Brother Xuanji, I won't be going back for the time being. I can only go home after I ascend to the immortal realm. Before I go home, I will always be with you."
As he said this, he watched Xie Xiyi's face turn cold.
Chi Yu: "Senior Brother Xuanji?"
Xie Xiyi said coldly: "Rest."
Chi Yu: "Senior Brother Xuan Ji..."
