In fact, this can be considered a process of growth.
I remember that whether it is Confucianism in the real world or Confucianism in the immortal world, there are sages and sages who said "know the destiny".
The reason why this kind of knowledge of destiny can be realized is based on the accumulation of time and the accumulation of experience.
Only when a person reaches a certain age, has lived a long time, has seen and learned a lot, and has a certain understanding of himself and the world he lives in, can he gradually form his own unique world view and outlook on life.
Only then can it be called "knowing destiny".
To put it more bluntly, in fact, this person has fallen enough and gradually understood and sobered up, that’s all!
Although the idea of destiny only flashed through my mind, the time we waited seemed very long.
In any case, I believe that those in front of us who are struggling, their time is even more full of suffering and helplessness.
The suffering is because you have to concentrate on fighting every moment, and you can't make any mistakes, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable.
The helplessness is purely because this kind of fighting is not what one wants, it is a behavior that has to be done but cannot be avoided.
Having said that, we also know clearly that any battle will have an end moment, and that is the best time for us to take action.
However, when this moment really comes, we are more or less caught off guard, and even... panicked!
I saw that the constantly jumping light spot far ahead that symbolized Lu Li's fighting style suddenly disappeared at a certain moment, and the drastic changes in the density of the night coming from that direction also calmed down.
All signs are showing that the battle ahead seems to have dissipated!
Although we don’t know how they will win or lose, it is indeed time for us to really attack!
As long as we go there now, we will naturally know what happened there!
No matter what happens, no matter what the outcome is between them, we, who are always recharging our energy, will definitely be the final and only winner!
However, the moment we stood up and were about to move forward, we instinctively felt that the darkness around us, which had been calm, suddenly became much thicker.
This darkness was originally just the color of the surrounding space, but at this moment it turned into the space itself. Not only did it become extremely viscous, but it also released boundless pressure and squeezed towards us.
And this pressure is not fixed. It has been violently released and contracted countless times in a very short period of time, just like a person who has just finished exercising and cannot control his breathing.
"No, we've been discovered! Everyone, be careful!" After noticing this abnormality, Dewey shouted suddenly.
Fortunately, we stayed together during the period of lurking, not only for fear that someone would get lost in the dark, but also to facilitate the response to such emergencies.
Although our contingency measures have been extremely complete, and we took action as soon as possible after discovering signs of danger, there are still some unusual situations that are beyond our control.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared between us, and quickly drove away the surrounding darkness, allowing us to see each other clearly for the first time in this dark secret realm under inexplicable circumstances.
As far as I could see, most of the people looked normal. Apart from a somewhat stunned expression on their faces, there was nothing unusual about them.
Only Ling Jiu!
His whole body was as pale as paper, and his exposed skin seemed to have lost all its blood, and everything was filled with a dead air.
However, there was a sense of quiet and peaceful enjoyment on his face, and he looked very comfortable.
But his overall demeanor revealed great panic and pain, which was shocking!
In short, these are several completely opposite extreme feelings, but they are mixed together very naturally and appear in one person at the same time. I really don’t know how it is done.
As if he noticed that we were looking at him, Ling Jiu suddenly smiled evilly at this moment, and his eyes slowly swept over each of us.
This smile that was so cold that it had no warmth actually made the hairs on our whole bodies stand out.
Then countless rays of light came out from every pore on his body, and Ling Jiu also turned into countless light spots at this moment, floating around like fireflies, and was finally swallowed up by the darkness.
All this happened in a very short period of time, let alone rescue, we were too late to even make the most basic response!
So much so that when Ling Jiu disappeared, we still stood there and maintained our initial alert state.
It's so fast!
It was so fast that all of us almost thought we were experiencing an illusion before our eyes!
And as Ling Jiu disappeared, the surrounding darkness receded like a tide. It was only at this moment that we were convinced that what just happened was true.
At this time, the depressive feeling originating from the soul disappeared, the sticky feeling all over the body disappeared, and familiar scenery began to appear in our eyes again.
However, there was a great fear spreading in everyone's heart. Everyone looked at each other in confusion and remained silent for a long time.
"That... Lao Du, Ling Jiu... he just... died like this?" After a long time, Shen Tuye was the first to break the silence.
It's just that he spoke intermittently, as if he still didn't want to believe the scene that happened in front of him.
This is the first time I have seen such a bad performance from him, which shows how deeply what happened just now had an impact on his heart.
"I don't know!" Dewey shook his head tiredly, his face full of guilt.
Obviously, this situation was completely beyond his expectation and was different from what he described when he first came to us.
"Is it Lu Li?" Xiang Yuan asked absently. From just now, his eyes had been fixed on the place where Ling Jiu last disappeared, and he never left it for a long time.
"Maybe... right!" Dewey said uncertainly, his tone full of self-blame.
As he finished speaking, the scene fell into unreasonable silence again.
I don't know how much time passed, but Dewey slowly raised his head and said to us: "Maybe I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to you because of my obsession."
"What's happening here is different from what I experienced back then!"
"We have just entered the secret realm and we have already lost a close friend. I don't want you to go any further."
"Go back! We've just entered the secret realm, and it's still too late to turn back now..."
Dewey rambled, although it sounded a bit incoherent, but it was full of sincere emotions.
"Let's separate now! I will find out the cause of Ling Jiu's death, and I will avenge him!" He said with a decisive tone. (To be continued)
