When Li Tian saw this, he quickly shrank back and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Teacher Xu, calm down, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything!"
Xu Changqing was not impulsive. He flashed the ruler and then took it back.
"You are so annoying!"
Li Tian said with a smile, "Hey, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really can't tell you. The Ling family asked me to keep it a secret, you know."
Li Tian directly threw the blame on the Ling family, but the effect was indeed good, and Xu Changqing was no longer curious.
"So that's it. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't ask."
Li Tian shrugged, then continued to smile and said, "By the way, Teacher Xu, you are here just in time. Let me ask you a question, do you know about the eternal calamity and the fire of karma?"
Hearing this, Xu Changqing's expression suddenly became solemn, and Li Tian even saw a hint of fear on his face. "Why do you ask this? This shouldn't be something you should know in your realm. Who told you?"
Li Tian scratched his head. It was obviously the question he asked, but why was he asked back, "Mr. Xu, why are you so serious? I'll just ask casually. If it's inconvenient to say, forget it."
Xu Changqing sighed softly, "There is nothing inconvenient to say. This is not a secret. I personally saw someone survive the tribulation of immortality more than ten years ago. If you want to know, I can tell you."
Li Tian asked, "What Teacher Xu said was the immortality of Principal Hongluo when she broke through to the extraordinary realm?"
Xu Changqing nodded, "Yes." Then he looked up at the night sky, as if recalling that terrifying memory, "I will never forget that day. That blood-red fire burned away so many people's aspirations for enlightenment.
"
When he said this, there was a hint of bitterness on his face.
"At that time, even though Principal Hong Luo was fully prepared, she still almost died in the catastrophe of immortality. It was a narrow escape from death."
"The red flame burned for a full hour. Principal Hong Luo's wailing sound is still echoing in my ears. It was really a hundred times more painful than death, and the fire of karma was only for the tribulation of eternal life.
Part of it.”
"Oh, Tianba, it is difficult to live forever, it is as difficult as going to the blue sky."
"No matter how talented a person is, no matter how talented he is, if he can't survive the calamity, everything will be in vain."
Li Tianneng could hear a hint of loneliness in Xu Changqing's mouth. He knew that this gentle and elegant instructor of the Beast Training Academy had completely lost his desire to pursue immortality.
"Then Teacher Xu, if you don't get involved in karma, will it be easier to survive the fire of karma in the eternal calamity?"
Xu Changqing smiled tenderly and put his rough and generous hands on Li Tian's shoulders like an elder. "Tianba, you have to know that people are not grass and trees. How can we be ruthless? If you encounter an old, weak, woman or child being bullied by a bully,
, would you lend a helping hand? If you encountered a relative or friend in danger, would you come to the rescue? Some people are destined to be unable to escape the word cause and effect. We are born in this world, and everything we see
, everyone you meet is the result of cause and effect.”
"Some people say that if you want to take the road to immortality, you must first cut off your emotions. All worldly ties are just stumbling blocks on the road to immortality, and the road to immortality is only for the heartless. What do you think?"
"But to me, some people are more important than immortality. I believe you can't give up everything and pursue that illusory immortality."
Li Tian was silent. At this moment, he didn't know how to answer. If it were in the past, he would definitely give the answer in his heart without hesitation. This is the most contradictory question that surrounds the heart of every practitioner and is fettered.
, it indicates that there are more causes and effects, and it is more difficult to overcome the disaster. But giving up the fetters is not something that can be done just by talking about it.
But today he saw the terrifying fire of karma, and the feeling of extreme pain always lingered in his body and mind. He was always different from others. He carried the identity of a biographer, and the karma he suffered would be several times that of ordinary people.
So much, if he continues to live as usual, the day when he will survive the tribulation of immortality may be the end of his life. He believes that with his talent in cultivation, that day will not be too far away, but who doesn’t want to live forever?
Well, he was no exception, so he was confused. He didn't know what he really wanted.
"Maybe..." In the end, Li Tian could only give this ambiguous answer. He could no longer guarantee that his original intention would remain unchanged.
Xu Changqing chuckled and patted his shoulder again, "It's right to be confused. Whether you take care of your family and friends or want to pursue immortality, you just need to follow your heart. It's getting late. I'll go back and rest first. I'll go to the academy tomorrow.
Lend me a good thing."
After saying that, Xu Changqing stood up slowly.
Li Tian asked curiously, "What are you going to borrow?"
Xu Changqing looked around, then slowly leaned down to Li Tian's ear and said four words, "Hey, keep it secret!"
Li Tian said: "..." He knew that Xu Changqing was taking revenge on him and deliberately betrayed him.
"Just keep it a secret. It's so stingy."
After bidding farewell to Li Tian, Xu Changqing left.
Li Tian once again sat alone in the courtyard. A breeze blew from the distance, causing Li Tian to tighten his tight clothes.
He also slowly stood up, took off the mask on his face, and walked outside the Beast Cultivation Academy and in the direction of the academy.
"It's getting colder, it's time to put on some clothes..."
Li Tian walked around the college playground for a whole night. No one knew what he was thinking about all night, but at this moment, there was no trace of confusion on his face.
The sun rose on time, and the early morning dew fell to the ground along the green branches and leaves. Today is another day full of hope. The haze in the sky has long since dissipated, leaving only a clear sky.
Li Tian changed direction and walked towards the cafeteria of the college. He packed a lot of steamed buns, fried dough sticks and other breakfast items and sent them to the big eaters in the academy.
With the rise of the early sun, the spirit of freedom in his fire miraculously returned to normal. However, this time when he returned to the beast monastery, he no longer chose to hide his figure, but planned to face everyone with his true face.
When he arrived at the beast monastery, he saw that Yun Zhi had gotten up early and was washing outside the door. He was still as diligent as ever and never slept in.
Li Tian carried the things and walked up. "Young man is quite diligent. After washing, he asked Ergou to come to the lobby for dinner."
Yun Zhi looked up at Li Tian in confusion. He hadn't spit out the foam in his mouth yet. He immediately reminded Li Tian, "Brother, you forgot to cover your face!"
He thought Li Tian had forgotten about it after he went out for a trip.
Li Tian smiled and said, "I won't cover it anymore. Move quickly, or those guys will snatch all the food."
After that, he ignored him and headed towards the lobby.
Yun Zhi was immediately confused. Li Tian, who had asked him to keep a secret yesterday, was suddenly about to show his true colors.
But he didn't think much about it, after all, Li Tian said so himself. After washing up quickly, he headed towards the lobby with the two dogs who were still awake.
Buying breakfast was originally what Xu Changqing was supposed to do, but today Li Tianyue took over for him, but of course he also told Xu Changqing, who was probably on his way back after borrowing the mysterious thing.
At this moment, there are people in the lobby. The big black bear and tiger have been waiting for a long time. The two foodies are more active than anyone else.
When they saw Li Tian walking towards the lobby with two hands full of things, the big black bear took the lead and ran out of the door, shouting "Hey! Who are you? The animal repair school also has two feet like you."
Wherever the beast can come?"
Li Tian cursed angrily, "I don't have the eyesight to see! Do you want to take a series of punches?"
Hearing this familiar tone, the big black bear and the tiger looked at each other in surprise, "Oh my God! It's Tianshujiao!"
Then two cultivators rushed forward to help Li Tian carry things, and the two flatterers immediately came online.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Tian. Lao Hei, I didn't wake up and didn't recognize you. Don't be angry. I didn't expect your true face to be so majestic! You look like a dragon or a phoenix among people at first glance!"
Tiger also echoed, "That's right, you are the most handsome human being I have ever seen. Come on, come on, bring us the things. You are tired."
Li Tian was not polite, gave them the things, and laughed, "Yes, you two are quite discerning! I just want you to admire my peerless appearance, so that you can get a little bit of my domineering spirit!"
"
Hearing this, Black Bear and Tiger immediately agreed, "Oh, thank you, God's assistant. We two brothers are so honored. That dead monkey is not lucky. Who let it sleep in?"
After putting down breakfast, Li Tian watched them place the lunch boxes on the table one by one in order, and asked, "How was your competition with the person I brought last night?"
Black Bear immediately said with disdain, "Harm! He is no match for us. If Brother Dog hadn't protected him, we would have beaten the shit out of him!"
"Oh?" Li Tian raised his eyebrows, "But he told me yesterday that he tied with you, and it was a one-on-three tie."
Black Bear was stunned, "What? If we didn't kill him, it's a tie?"
Then it brushed the black hair on its hands and said angrily, "These two-legged beasts are so shameless, wait and see how I shave them!"
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Li Tian smiled slyly, "He is the most powerful genius among the younger generation in the academy. You should not be careless. He was just injured yesterday and his strength was not fully demonstrated."
Black Bear said disdainfully, "It's just him? He's a thousand miles away from Tianzhu and you, but he's still number one among the younger generation? I just want to say, I can do it!"
Li Tian immediately waved his hand to signal him to stop saying, "Hey, hey, keep a low profile. I don't want too many people to know how powerful I am. You just need to know in your heart."
The black bear immediately covered his mouth, then raised his thumb and replied, "Understood!"
Not long after, everyone arrived in the lobby one after another.
It's just that Yun Zhi is very strange, why the black bears and tigers look at him strangely, as if they want to eat him.
When Sekiro first saw Li Tian's true face, he couldn't believe that he was so young. He only believed it after repeated confirmation.
Only Ling Luo and Xu Changqing were left. Li Tian did not wait any longer. He opened the meal with a wave of his hand and everyone started to devour it. It was impossible not to devour it. In fact, the two dogs and black bears were like reincarnations of starving ghosts, eating slowly.
All gone.
However, Li Tian still prepared a separate portion for Xu Changqing in advance, otherwise Xu Changqing would have to go hungry. As for Ling Luo, unlike the beast cultivators, she could leave the beast cultivator at any time. If she was hungry, she could go to the college cafeteria to eat.
When everyone was almost finished eating, Xu Changqing's voice came from outside the door, "Oh, we're almost finished? Did you leave some for me?"
Li Tian waved his hand quickly, "Teacher Xu, come quickly. I left it for you. Where are the good things you brought? Take them out and show them to everyone."
Xu Changqing couldn't help but froze when he saw Li Tian's appearance, and even his expression froze. He was really frightened by Li Tian's young appearance. "Are you...Tianba?"
Li Tian laughed, "That's not good, who else can be so handsome besides me!"
Xu Changqing shook his head in disbelief as he walked into the lobby without taking his eyes off Li Tian. "Are you young or really young? You don't look even eighteen years old."
At this time, Yun Zhi interrupted, "Haha, Teacher Xu, my eldest brother and I are in the same class, and they are really not even eighteen yet."
"What a boy!" Xu Changqing didn't even bother to eat. He walked up and put his hands on Li Tian's shoulders and said happily, "I really made a mistake. I always thought you were at least as old as Ling Luo. Why?"
Did you suddenly stop wearing a mask and want to scare me?"
Everyone also turned their attention to Li Tian, wanting to hear why he suddenly took off his disguise.
Li Tian chuckled and replied, "You have to face what you have to face. It's good for everyone to be honest with each other."
Li Tian answered ambiguously, and Xu Changqing did not dwell on the real reason. He happily said, "Of course this is the best, hahaha."
"By the way Tianba..."
Li Tian interrupted weakly, "Well, actually my name is not Wang Tianba, and this name is also fake. My actual name is Li Tian."
"Ah?" Xu Changqing was stunned. "What a boy, you even lied to me about your name!"
Then he rubbed Li Tian's head lovingly, "I just said, how could someone call Wang Tianba such a tacky name, hahaha."
At this time, everyone in the Beast Cultivation Academy accepted Li Tian's identity again.
