As the saying goes, a day in the cave will last a thousand years underground.
But in fact, it is not such an exaggeration. Shi Yingxue is quietly forming elixirs, Lianyi is also practicing, Fu Yi is bored, and time passes quietly like water dripping.
Fu Yi looked at the ripples and then at Shi Yingxue, always feeling helpless.
In fact, he has already reached the Mahayana. Even if all the dragon scales on his body are cut off, he is only one step away from overcoming the tribulation and ascending to immortality. From the moment Shi Yingxue rescued him from the dragon locking pillar, he was
Rejuvenate.
Once he wants to, he can control the wind and rain and soar immediately.
But Fuyi didn't want to.
Fu Yi didn't know whether Lianyi and Shi Yingxue knew about it, but he knew it himself.
He was obviously just one step away from becoming an immortal, but he still didn't.
Why not?
Fu Yi knows his reasons.
He didn't know if he could maintain a normal heart when facing his old master Fu Yi. He knew that he was not a petty person, but his old master had a history of sworn vows with him, and even more hatred for skinning and deceiving him.
A great hatred lies ahead, and Fu Yi doesn't know if he can hold it back.
On the one hand, Fuyi wanted to kill him to vent his anger, but on the other hand, he felt unwilling. He felt deeply tired in his heart, and felt a little relieved that he had lost all happiness in the world.
Even if it is a spiritual beast, when it has human emotions, all the emotions in its heart are complicated.
Fuyi didn't know how to deal with his turmoil, nor how he would face his old master after his ascension.
But he is not a naive person who only values feelings. Fuyi knows that he has many other reasons.
Fu Yi always thought that after what happened, he would lose trust in human beings.
But he didn't, not only didn't, but he was not the only one who became someone else's spiritual beast.
He was a great dragon in the past. Not only did he become a human spirit beast, he also taught her other spirit beasts how to become a real dragon.
Aren’t dragons arrogant?
In the past, Fu Yi was also very proud. He called himself a "guest of Wutong" and never lived in Wutong. Except for his old master whom he once trusted, he would not give a good look to anyone else. Why is he like this now?
?
why?
Fuyi doesn't understand.
He intuitively felt that there were other reasons why he didn't want to ascend.
Time was short, Fu Yi didn't want to practice, Lianyi and Shi Yingxue were both doing business, so he couldn't disturb them, so he spent a lot of time thinking.
Fu Yi didn't understand it at first. As he thought about it, his thoughts slipped back to the past. He missed his friendship with his old master for a while, and then thought about being tied up and having all the dragon scales removed. He was huddled on the dragon pillar, unable to move and half-dead.
day.
Was it those days that smoothed his edges?
No, Fu Yi doesn’t think so.
Unless he is willing to let go of his arrogance, Long will not polish off his own edges and corners. Even if he dies, being tightly tied to the Dragon Pillar by his old master and unable to survive, Fu Yi has never abandoned himself.
He was so arrogant that he forgot that he was a real dragon.
But at this time, Fu Yi felt that there seemed to be no inevitable connection between not forgetting that he was a real dragon and losing his pride.
He suddenly thought of what Shi Yingxue had said when she scolded Fu Zihui.
What was she talking about?
She said that things in this world are not either/or.
These four simple words in human speech, either/or, are sometimes the most profound and difficult to understand.
It took Fu Yi a long time to suddenly figure out that he was a real dragon, and that he could exist at the same time as he had lost his pride.
Moreover, his pride was not lost. He knew that he had never tolerated anyone except Shi Yingxue and Lianyi.
For example, Fu Zihui, who gave Shi Yingxue a huge headache, Fu Yi didn't think it bothered him at all.
So since his pride has not been lost and he is still a true dragon, why is he willing to stay by Shi Yingxue's side and teach Lianyi?
Fuyi only got one answer at first. He felt that maybe he didn't want to go to the upper interface to face his old master who had seen a ghost.
But this is obviously not the only reason.
Fu Yi thought about it for a long time, until a little fish spirit swimming up along the bottom of his spiritual vein passed by him, and asked him with respect and innocence: "Senior, what are you doing here?"
Fuyi didn't want to "lower his status" to talk to the little fish spirit, but he couldn't help but replied naturally: "I'm protecting them."
His dragon tail gently slapped in the water, and the water waves rolled up the little fish spirit. It turned around and saw a white dragon that had not yet grown up, and a human monk who was less than half her age.
"Protect humans? If I can in the future, I also want to be protected by humans."
The little fish spirit said with a smile, but swam away happily.
Fu Yi thought about it thoughtfully.
He seemed to understand why he didn't want to ascend. Fu Yi began to recall why he had targeted Shi Yingxue in the first place.
That was an unspeakable secret, not for any positive reason, but for his selfishness, and it would not sound good to say it out loud.
But Shi Yingxue accepted him so generously without asking any more questions, and she didn't hide any of her little secrets.
Fu Yi was surprised by her gentleness and frankness, and the feeling of living in a large space with other spiritual beasts was also very novel.
Lianyi is gentle but innocent and pure, and Ran'er is even more childish and innocent. They have never resisted him, they are obedient and obedient, treating him as one of their own, caring for him, and staying with him.
At first, Fu Yi felt strange, but then he gradually realized the subtlety of it. Later, he had forgotten his original purpose, and began to be like Lianyi and Ran'er, only thinking about helping Shi Yingxue.
So at this time, Yingxue and Fuyi suddenly realized that they seemed to have forgotten their old hatred.
Fu Yi, who has forgotten his old name and was deceived and persecuted, has become another dragon.
This dragon is no longer what it used to be, but it seems to be living a happier life.
Speaking of which, does he hate his old master?
Naturally, he hated it. He was ruthlessly abandoned in a tomb that did not belong to him, and he became suspicious, eccentric, withdrawn, indifferent, and moody.
So in fact, his arrogance had long since disappeared at that time. After all, the real dragon has always been broad-minded, and he didn't bother to do this.
By that time, his value as a true dragon had long since died.
Later, a junior saw him take away all the shame, but surprisingly he didn't feel humiliated.
Accompanying these juniors, guiding them, and protecting them, my identity as the guardian of the dragon seems to come back to life again.
Compared with hatred, Fu Yi feels that he likes to protect and teach more. He only devotes himself to cultivating and ascending to the upper world. Even if he finds his old master and fights to the death, is there any value in it?
Life has no meaning anymore.
Fuyi understood that his problem was not his arrogance, but that he became more like a human being.
Fu Yi once again had something to care about, a weakness, and thoughts, so he was able to embrace his new life. He put down his hatred, stopped and waited for the little girls who were far behind him.
Fu Yi gained new insights.
He felt that cultivating spirit beasts and ascending throughout his life was ultimately just the pursuit of a human-like heart and the pursuit of affirmation and sublimation of his identity as a guardian. Anyway, he didn't know if others were the same, so he must be right.
