Chapter 225: Why is the Suspension Technique Used to Restore Life?
"This guy... have you seen him somewhere?" Long Qi asked, pinching his chin as he carefully examined the Nine-Colored Deer and tried hard to recall. However, he could not remember where he had seen him before. He just felt that he was very familiar with it.
Banxia also had a sense of déjà vu about it, but she couldn't put her finger on where she had met it before. She could only respond while, like Long Qi, pondering over the Nine-Colored Deer.
So, Long Qi and Ban Xia surrounded the Nine-Colored Deer and examined it carefully, discussing with each other from time to time, and then stared at the Nine-Colored Deer, as if they wanted to see something from it, which looked very funny.
However, the victim, the Nine-Colored Deer, seemed unusually calm. He just stared with his big watery eyes and lay quietly, looking extremely noble, not affected by the two people at all.
Xinyi and Liu Xia were surrounded by a group of spiritual beasts.
Liu Xia didn't mind it, after all, he had been familiar with those little spirit beasts for a long time, and he was a good-tempered person, always smiling, and looked harmonious.
But there was something wrong with Xinyi's side.
Xinyi usually had a stern expression, rarely showing any change in his expression when faced with something. It was no surprise that he was called a grim-faced demon. But for some reason, the spirit beasts seemed quite delighted with him, gathering around him and chattering, asking him questions.
Xinyi didn't seem to mind either. Although he still had a blank expression on his face, he answered all the questions from the little spirit beasts. He even took great care of some very small spirit beasts, fearing that they would be trampled.
“They’re a pretty good group of friends.”
Lingxiang was looking at a few people and smiling, not knowing what she was thinking. Suddenly, Yao Ji beside her spoke, her face full of warmth.
Yes, the experiences along the way seemed to have made Lingxiang see many things clearly. Whether it was Long Qi, Xinyi, or Zhao Wuyang, she had initially felt guilty and even distrusted Xinyi, but now they had become close friends.
This is the first time for me to do this except for my senior brothers from Yuanqing Sect, but this feeling seems to be different from the feelings I have towards my senior brothers.
In the past, she always felt that life is short, only ten thousand days, and it will pass in the blink of an eye. Why should she be tied to other people? In the end, it will only leave sadness for both herself and others.
That's why, although I can be considered a veteran in the world, I have always been a playful person and have never relied on anyone, let alone behaved intimately with anyone.
But now, everything seems different.
She could no longer be as carefree as she had been in the past because she had someone to rely on. On the contrary, she had concerns and people whom she wanted to keep even if she was unable to do so.
She never wanted them to be in dire straits because of her again.
"Yes!" Lingxiang smiled and sighed, "Luckily, I have them. Even if there are things I cannot get, I have no regrets in this life."
Fairy Yao Ji shook her head and said, "As a mortal, don't easily say things like 'no regrets in this life'."
Lingxiang was very confused: "What do you mean?"
"Whether it's a god or an immortal, even those who have eternal life and happiness still have obsessions, let alone humans? Heaven does not grant years, and human life spans are short. Although youth is fleeting, the flow of time is endless, and there is no regret at every turn. Doesn't this mean that life has completely lost its meaning?"
"Only when you are content can you be happy forever!" Lingxiang sighed, thinking of her previous experience.
If he hadn't been obsessed with his remaining spiritual roots, the group wouldn't have encountered these life-threatening dangers.
Fairy Yao Ji shook her head again. "Anyone who claims to be content is simply dying. If one were born content, how could one endure the suffering of reincarnation? As a human being, greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire are inevitable, and there's no need to worry about them. It's just normal."
"So, the fairy also has something to ask for?" Lingxiang didn't understand. Since Fairy Yao Ji had already attained enlightenment, how could she say such a thing? And what could she ask for?
But Yao Ji did not answer her, but instead said: "You and Tumi really look alike."
Lingxiang knew that Fairy Yao Ji must be acquainted with her mother since she could say that, but why did she have to mention her mother at this time?
Just when Lingxiang was puzzled, she heard Fairy Yaoji speak again: "Your mother spent her whole life seeking a way to save the world, but she didn't expect that the so-called salvation was nothing but empty talk."
I've heard from my senior brothers that this spiritual fragrance is why my mother traveled through the human world and braved the dangers of Yunmeng. But I'm only looking for a way to repair my spiritual roots. How is that like my mother?
Lingxiang believes that she has no intention of helping the world, nor is she as concerned about the people as her mother.
Besides, where do false words come from?
"Your spiritual roots are unclear, so you can only practice the Five Elements. However, you only focus on the Water Technique. Even the Ice Formation and the Sword Formation are just methods of touching water. They are only good for self-protection, but have no power to hurt others."
Without profound cultivation, the mystical arts of water were generally incapable of harming others. This was a fact known to all practitioners. Consequently, very few people practiced them. Even those with Five Element Water Spiritual Roots merely used them as a stepping stone to improve their cultivation.
But how did Fairy Yao Ji know all these things?
"You followed me?" Lingxiang blurted out, but suddenly felt that this was too rude, so she quickly stood up and apologized.
Fairy Yao Ji didn't care and just waved her hand.
In fact, what Lingxiang didn’t know was that Fairy Yao Ji had known about it since they set foot in Yunmeng.
First, she rescued Liu Xia, and then ordered the Yunmeng demon to find a way to lure Banxia into the cave. Even the blackmailing beast was sent away by her.
But she had been observing in secret, she wanted to understand Lingxiang.
As she expected, Lingxiang was just like Tumi, kind and persevering.
"Tumi's training was all about saving lives, and he never used any techniques to harm anyone."
Hearing this, Lingxiang was suddenly stunned.
She didn't know why Fairy Yao Ji was so sure. If it was true as she said, what did her mother do to the Demon King back then?
Isn't it the spell of nightmare?
But Han Yang saw it with his own eyes!
"What you see and hear may not be true." Fairy Yao Ji did not explain. She just said this and said nothing more, leaving Lingxiang in a daze.
If it may not be true, then why should it be true?
Lingxiang fell into deep thought. She kept thinking about it, but she couldn't figure out what the so-called truth was.
Wait, the old mountain god of Fengwu Mountain once said that the recipe for the Heaven-Returning Pill came from the hands of Fairy Yaoji, so...
Lingxiang looked up at Yaoji, and Yaoji seemed to know what Lingxiang was going to ask. Before she could open her mouth, she said, "I never said it was a remedy to bring the dead back to life. There is no such elixir in the world. It was just Tumi's wishful thinking at the time."
How is that possible!?
Although I was still young at that time, I vaguely remember that my mother did cast a curse using me as a sacrifice. After a period of chaos, I came back to life.
No, if you look at it this way, how could my mother have died?
…
"It is impossible to turn back the sky by hanging a thread, and the fool's dream is all in vain."
…
Lingxiang's eyes suddenly trembled, and she burst into tears in a moment.
She finally understood the meaning of the hanging thread technique written by her mother on the pill recipe!
No wonder she was able to leap into the foundation-building stage at the age of seven even though she clearly had a residual spiritual root and had not practiced hard. It was because her mother passed on her cultivation to her!
If one does not have the ability to cultivate, one cannot take the Huitian Pill, and the effect of the Huitian Pill is only to lead life into the body!
It was a life-for-life exchange! My mother had exchanged her life for mine!
Mother fooled everyone!
