The Flame God Temple behind me slowly became illusory, turning into an illusory shadow until it completely disappeared. I looked at the scene in front of me in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
As I sat there dejectedly, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. It was as if a knife was twisting and turning in my heart. The person I loved was forcibly taken away from me by someone else, and I couldn't do anything about it. This feeling was really unbearable.
As I recalled all the good things about Bi 'an, the heartache became even more intense. It was simply unbearable!
There were some things that one would only know how to cherish after losing them. Previously, when we were together, I would always enjoy the joy that Bi 'an brought me. Slowly, I felt that it was only natural. However, when everything was taken away by someone else, you would know how selfish you were.
Bi 'an had always been helping me silently. I didn't even have the time to do anything for her!
Even if it was an insignificant matter, the heavens had taken her away from me!
Sadness, guilt, self-blame … All the emotions flashed through my mind like a movie, making me feel even more uncomfortable. I sat there powerlessly as I stared at the spot where the Fire God Temple had originally appeared in a daze.
Suddenly, a screen of light appeared on the originally empty ground. The majestic hall appeared in front of me once again.
My heart tightened. Could it be that there was a change in the situation?
Could it be that the heavens had suddenly changed their mind due to some pressure?
This thought was a little absurd, but I couldn't help but think in the best possible way. I took quick steps and entered the Flame God Temple again.
"Father, don't be overly sad. That woman was willing to sacrifice a thousand years of her lifespan. Naturally, she didn't want to see father like this."
I searched the hall for a long time, but I couldn't find Bi 'an. I could only hear the voice of the Silver-eyed person.
That voice was like a huge bell, rousing one's spirit. The dejection that I felt earlier seemed to have floated away along with the loud voice. My spirit was lifted once again.
I calmed myself down. What did the Silver-eyed person mean?
Why did he say that Bi 'an had to sacrifice a thousand years of her lifespan?
I couldn't help but ask, "Why did Bi 'an have to sacrifice her lifespan?"
The cultivation path of ghosts was similar to that of humans, but they both had lifespan.
The people from the Taoist Association had used the 'Jade Blood Talisman' dao technique many times to increase their attacks and defenses. The price they had to pay was ten years of lifespan.
Of course, it didn't mean that using this dao technique would reduce your lifespan by ten years, but it meant that your cultivation base would be delayed by ten years.
For example, you could become a Yang God Celestial Master at sixty, but after using this dao technique, you could only wait until you were seventy to become a Yang God Celestial Master!
Think about it, those who could become Celestial Celestial Masters were mostly old people. How many years could they have?
Moreover, humans were intelligent beings born from three souls, and if ghosts sacrificed their lifespan, it would be even more harmful to their cultivation, and cultivation would be even more difficult.
If you were of of, you, you, you would've think, and you, you, Celesti, you, you, and you, you, you, you..,., you, you, you, a, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you., you, you.
If she sacrificed another thousand years of her lifespan, wouldn't that mean that she would never be able to advance her cultivation base?
Back in the Imperial Tomb of the Shang Dynasty, the Taoists of Mount Longhu and the Taoist Association didn't hesitate to risk their lives to obtain the key to the Immortal Gate. From this, one could see how important lifespan was to cultivators!
And Bi, in order to see me, had risked her entire life's worth of cultivation?
Thinking about this, I felt a trace of warmth in my heart. However, it was soon replaced by endless remorse and self-blame.
Humans are greedy. I was proud that I had a woman who was willing to sacrifice everything for me, but I couldn't help but blame myself for my incompetence.
How could I, a cultivator who hadn't even become a Celestial Master, resist the Heavenly Dao?
"Imperial Father, that woman was willing to sacrifice her entire lifetime of cultivation just to be able to see Imperial Father. How can Imperial Father give up on yourself?"
The silver-eyed man slowly tried to explain.
"Father's dual cultivation of witchcraft has already gone against the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao has its rules. A Celestial Master in the human world can't get along with a Yin God in the netherworld. That woman went to the Heavenly Dao to reason with it. She swore on her Daoist heart and was willing to sacrifice her entire life's worth of cultivation in exchange for being able to see you, father. If you were to be in such dire straits, I'm afraid that woman would be heartbroken if she knew!
Father, you should pull yourself together. You are the most honorable person in the world. How could you give up on yourself because of such a small setback? "
The silver-eyed man wasn't trying to persuade me anymore, but rather, it was more like a warning. His words were like sharp needles stabbing into my chest.
My body shuddered. I had never thought that there would be such an inside story.
Imagine, a weak woman like Bi, going to reason with the Heavenly Dao alone for her husband. She sacrificed her entire life's worth of cultivation in exchange for being able to see her husband once every six months. How much courage did she have?
If Bi could do that, how could I, a man of seven feet, be at a disadvantage?
"You're right!
I have to pull myself together. "I stood up again, sweeping away the dispiritedness I had earlier.
In order to be able to meet her, Bi 'an was willing to give up her thousand years of cultivation. What reason did I have to be disheartened?
Where there's a will, there's a way out. Even if I knew that it was a dead end, shouldn't a man give it a try for the woman he loved? I clenched my fists tightly.
I clenched my fists tightly. "I'll come back in half a year. I won't let Tao Wu down. One day, I'll make the Fire God Temple change!
No one can stop me from being with Bi 'an!
Even if it's the Heavens, it won't do! "
The silver-eyed man smiled knowingly before he bowed and retreated. Very quickly, the blinding fluorescent light gradually disappeared. The Fire God Temple in front of me disappeared again, leaving behind only the wilderness of Shennongjia.
This time, I didn't look back and left with determination.
For Bi 'an, I couldn't stop cultivating. One day, I'll be able to go against the Heavenly Dao and make this world change!
After straightening out these things, my heart felt much better. Then, I walked out of the scenic area.
I had been here many times and was already familiar with the way. After walking for about an hour, I left the Shennongjia scenic area.
After my cultivation had advanced, my body had become tougher than before. My speed was also much faster. Previously, it would have taken me three hours to walk, but now, it only took me one hour to complete the journey.
When I left the scenic area, it was already evening. It was difficult to get a taxi, so I simply stayed in the hotel next to the scenic area for the night.
After a comfortable hot bath, I crawled into bed and lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next.
I couldn't do anything about avenging my parents for the time being. After all, the deaths of the eighteen Heavenly Masters were all on my head. If I appeared in the capital at this time, I would become the target of public criticism. At that time, even if I summoned my eyes and the snake spirit, it would be difficult to escape unscathed!
It wasn't a big deal for me whether the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop would be rebuilt or not. However, Wang Li should be in the shop right now. Zhang Kanwen and I had agreed to meet in two years. Now that I thought about it, it had been a year. If we didn't solve this problem soon, it would be too late.
Moreover, Zhang Kanwen was a member of the Metaphysics Society, so I could ask him to help me inquire about Ye Pianpian. After seeing the so-called human-shaped key in the Royal Tomb of the Shang Dynasty, I had a lot of things I wanted to tell Ye Pianpian. I could ask Zhang Kanwen to help me inquire about them. At the same time, I could also treat Wang Li's illness.
Thinking about this, I made up my mind and fell asleep in a daze.
It was a quiet night. The next morning, I got up early and took a bus to the train station to buy a train ticket from Shennongjia to Shenzhen.
In fact, it would be faster if I took a plane. However, I wasn't like before. The older I was, the more timid I became. Now, I had an instinctive resistance to taking a plane.
When I came to Shennongjia with the vice president of the Metaphysics Society, Yang Shilong, he said that if a person embarked on the path of cultivation, the plane was not fated with him. I didn't expect that his words would come true.
A geomaster's energy came from the earth. When they took a plane to the sky, they would lose their energy source, so they would feel uneasy. However, if they could become a heavenly master in one step, their body would become incomparably tough and their speed would not be inferior to that of a plane. Naturally, they wouldn't need to take a plane.
Cultivation was like this. Some things had to be slowly comprehended. Back then, when Yang Shilong said those words, he didn't know what it meant. But now that he had experienced so much, he understood many of those principles. It could be said that one was never too old to learn.
The train wasn't fast, and there were always stops along the way. After dozens of hours, I finally arrived at Shenzhen.
Because I called Wang Kun earlier, when I got off the train, Wang Kun was already waiting in the waiting hall. After taking my luggage, Wang Kun smiled, "The train is really punctual now. I just arrived, and I already saw you coming out."
Looking at the dozens of cigarette butts at his feet, I didn't want to expose him, so I just smiled, "That's a coincidence. How is Little Wang Li now?
Is his family okay? "
"Good."
Wang Kun probably saw my gaze and scratched his head in embarrassment, "His family is fine. Master Zhang said that Little Wang Li has already passed his bottleneck. As for the next time, it will depend on his luck. I don't know the specific dao, so I'm not sure. Anyway, it looks good."
Wang Kun said with a smile. After opening the door and inviting me in, he didn't wait for me to ask and continued, "The Fengshui Metaphysics Shop has been rebuilt a long time ago. In the beginning, the police would come over every few days to take statements, but these were all routine matters.
My family and Master Zhang are now living in the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop. However, when I came, my uncle said that Mr. Zhou must be tired from the journey, so he wants to welcome Mr. Zhou to the best hotel in Shenzhen. "
Originally, I didn't want to go, but I was eager to see Little Wang Li's situation. However, since Wang Yongjun invited me, I couldn't reject him, so I just nodded, "Okay."
Wang Kun had been with Wang Yongjun for a long time, so he had developed a clever mind. He seemed to have seen through my thoughts, so he added, "Master Zhang, Liu Chuande, Xie Chenghua, and my youngest son will all go. After eating, we can go back to the shop together."
I smiled in understanding. Wang Yongjun was worthy of his reputation as an experienced man. He could take care of everything.
The two of us quickly arrived at the hotel that Wang Kun mentioned. Wang Yongjun, Zhang Kanwen, and Xie Chenghua were already there to welcome me. After shaking hands and greeting each of them, I took Little Wang Li from Mrs. Wang Kun's arms and studied him carefully.
