"These old things have been suppressed in my heart for too long. It feels much better to tell them in one breath today!" His face was full of relief.
After listening to him talk so much, I suddenly understood that the reason why the castle owner has been in seclusion frequently over the years is actually not just for spiritual practice. He is more like a wounded beast who needs to hide and lick his wounds alone.
He locked himself in the memory of the past and lived in the regrets of the past.
He was blaming himself. If he had not sent his children to that hidden academy, would all this tragedy not have happened?
Who would have thought that he, who was revered as a god by the villagers of Dongfang Fort, would have such a tragic story behind him.
I even couldn't help but wonder, how much of the chivalrous image he mentioned in his youth still existed in such a castle owner?
Maybe the wine will taste better after aging!
I believe this must be the case. People will age and the fire of life will be extinguished, but the chivalrous spirit is eternal.
After going through hardships, it will only become purer!
It can be seen from the respect that the villagers have shown to him over the years that the Lord of the Castle is still the Lord of the Castle! Back then he was a hero in the world of secular martial arts, but now he is a hero in the world of immortals!
The transition from martial arts to immortality is also the path I want to take in the future.
However, at this moment, all this does not seem so important to me.
I only felt deep regret and disappointment in my heart. I didn't get much detailed information about my life experience from his story just now.
Ten years of waiting, ten years of anticipation, but this is the result, my heart suddenly hurts.
You say he is a good person, you say he has difficulties, you say you don’t let me blame him...
However, even if you are as powerful as you, you have never seen his true face, so how can I blame him?
Father, what a vague word!
In the past ten years, I have imagined countless times how tall and heroic his figure is and how melodious his voice is, but until now, it is still blank!
If I still had expectations before, now I feel more and more distant from him.
At this moment, my eyes were piercing red, my heart was filled with resentment, and all kinds of emotions were constantly emerging. I was struggling hard, and was almost on the verge of explosion and collapse.
"Xiao Tian……"
Suddenly, a gentle call sounded in my ears, and I noticed a slender figure blocking my face.
At this moment, even the surrounding air was filled with a pleasant smell of youth, and at the same time, a gentle hand was caressing my hair.
That was the feeling of childhood... very warm and caring.
That is - Yaoyao!
I raised my head and looked at her, and found that her eyes were as red as mine, but they were very warm, and the flashing tears were full of concern and encouragement.
"Sister Yaoyao!" I murmured, suddenly feeling extremely embarrassed. Compared to her, as a man, my posture at the moment was indeed too pretentious.
At least, my father just disappeared, and she...has nothing!
"Why did the castle master suddenly talk about what happened back then?" I calmed down and asked solemnly.
"I didn't plan to tell you so soon, but after my recent breakthrough in cultivation, I discovered some problems that I couldn't figure out before, and finally understood some of my benefactor's thoughts back then." Seeing me so quickly. After recovering, the castle master nodded happily.
"Xiaotian, do you still remember what happened when you and Yaoyao practiced my innate skills together that year?" Suddenly he changed the subject.
Suddenly, memories flooded through my mind like a flood, and every moment that happened in that year emerged in my mind...
Innate skills cannot be practiced until you reach the peak of acquired skills.
The reason why too many people in the world of secular martial arts practice innate martial arts only after reaching the peak of acquired skills is actually because martial arts secrets that belong to the innate realm are too rare.
They can only obtain certain qualifications through hard practice and efforts to improve their own strength and reach the peak of the acquired realm.
Unless someone like Dongfang Yingwo has great opportunities, he or she needs to become a core member of a certain sect with extraordinary strength and make enough contributions before he or she can obtain some of the innate skills of that sect.
As for those true disciples of the sect, most of them started practicing with the elders of the sect when they were very young. They initially dabbled in the innate skills of the sect, introduced the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, fully tapped their own potential, and practiced at a faster speed.
Fortunately, in front of me and Yaoyao, there is Dongfang Yingying, a cultivator like me, who has practiced innate skills since childhood.
That year, he taught his skills to me and Yaoyao at the same time. Finally, after Yaoyao felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he successfully guided the spiritual energy into his body, successfully opened up the sea of qi, and stepped into the ranks of innates.
However, what happened to me was more tortuous...
I also felt the innate spiritual energy!
It's just that after those spiritual energies enter my body, they always disappear in an instant!
No matter how hard I try, I can't feel the traces of these true qi in my body again, let alone gather them to guide them to attack and open up the sea of qi.
There was nothing the castle owner could do about this situation. After all, he was born in Yeluzi and became an innate master. A large part of it was luck, and he did not have a deep understanding of this aspect.
Even though his cultivation at that time had already entered the realm of Taichu, and his strength was worthy of the word "immortal", in the face of the strange situation that happened to me, I could only sigh in vain!
Therefore, I am still not very sure about my true state.
It may be said that it is acquired, but he is able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb them into his body, although they will disappear soon.
It may be said that it is innate, but there is no sea of qi in the body, nor is there any true qi that can be called upon.
If we really want to say it, half-step innateness may be more appropriate.
This is indeed a very embarrassing state. After all, if the problem of the unexplained disappearance of true energy is not solved, I will never see the hope of reaching the innate state in this life.
Having said that, I am naturally not a person who gives up easily! Over the years, I have been practicing that set of exercises unremittingly, although the results are the same every time.
But it feels really good to feel the spiritual energy of the weather entering your body!
At least, in reality, I have been learning qigong passed down from my family since I was a child, but I have never felt the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and I have never heard of any elders having such a feeling.
In fact, the Lord's innate Qigong is quite similar to my family's traditional Qigong, but compared with it, Qigong lacks too many subtleties and is too simple!
I even struggled with this for a while, wondering if the legends about ancient Qi practitioners in the real world are true? (To be continued)
