However, he has absolutely no such complex towards his mother herself, but instead projects it onto women with the same traits.
He hopes that his ideal girlfriend can have long straight black hair like his mother, 32E breasts and 172cm height, the perfect waist-to-hip ratio, and beautiful dimples. She is very cold when she is not smiling, but very gentle when she smiles. She is an independent and intelligent strong woman. He hopes that she will wear a white dress with floral patterns and high heels, spray a little floral perfume on her earlobes, and say "son, mom will always love you" with her red lips...
But is this really possible?
Ye Hong sighed, and forced himself not to fantasize about his mother's clone, but to think about Qingyi.
Because of her cold appearance, she often gives people the first impression that she is difficult to serve, but behind her cold and strong appearance lies the childhood trauma caused by her original family and upbringing, which makes people sigh. Even so, her compassion for the people of the world has not changed. Although she is often rude, she treats people fairly, is serious and responsible, and is the same face in front of people and behind people. In fact, she is a woman who is very trustworthy, respectable and cherished.
If I were lucky enough to marry her and gain her favor, I wouldn't have to worry about her betrayal. When faced with a life-and-death crisis, I'm afraid she would always die in front of me!
Thinking of this, Ye Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There are so many filthiness in people's hearts, but I have never found a trace of the dark side of human nature in my mother and Qingyi... Desire, hatred, greed, all of these seem to have nothing to do with them, so that in front of them, I seem more like a despicable soul.
In this case, I must master the power.
He always believed that only when people become strong can they protect those around them and live happily and freely.
……
Time flies, and five days have passed since Ye Hong went into the mountains again.
During these five days, he has already mastered the sword-controlling technique and can now fly independently and wield the Ganlu Sword as he wishes. Now it is time to set off.
He didn't have time to rest at this moment. He found Qingyi as soon as possible and wanted to share his joy with her. However, after arriving at "Dalongqiu", he found that she was no longer there.
After searching everywhere without finding any clues, Ye Hong thought for a moment and realized that she was deliberately avoiding him. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, wondering how he had made her unhappy again.
However, what he didn't know was that Liu Qingyi, the dragon-slaying fairy in white clothes, who seemed to have gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and who was more beautiful than frost and snow, was being tortured by the dragon aura that he leaked out and was helpless. It was really a great thing that she didn't kill him with a single sword.
Chapter 48: Goodbye
Qingyi thought Ye Hong would leave soon because he was boring himself, but unexpectedly he sat down on the edge of the cliff.
She frowned, her whole body exuding a cool and elegant aura, but her lower abdomen kept vibrating, causing some discomfort down there.
The dragon ball resonates with the dragon soul, teasing her innate desires time and time again, but her proud heart remains unmoved.
However, this process is like being poisoned by a chronic poison. Once or twice may not be enough to bring any changes to her, but as the number of times increases, the accumulation of pleasure from dopamine will secretly erode her mind unknowingly, and eventually evolve from quantitative change to qualitative change, becoming the so-called "addiction."
Addiction is impossible to break, and the only way to break it is through willpower.
Slowly, Qingyi began to lose her focus, recalling her past life and the time when she was scolded by her mother as being "weak".
Although they are siblings, she is not as tough as her brother Liu Heting. With his outstanding performance in front of her, she looks even more dull.
The failure to form a pill caused Shen He to be disappointed in her again and again. She could no longer bear it and finally decided to take extreme measures...
But you have to know that she was just a child at that time!
At the same time, Ye Hong was also regretting one thing in his heart.
The Qi training period is over, and I miss it very much, because the good days of rapid progress in cultivation are gone forever. Also, Teacher Liu, I'm sorry for not letting you enjoy it. I'm really sorry.
I will continue to work hard during the foundation-building period.
Qingyi leaned against the stone wall, panting. The feeling of having her long-suppressed bodily functions awakened was really strange. The pleasure that was unfamiliar but had been experienced once kept lingering around, but it didn't make her feel completely satisfied. She only felt a little humiliated and embarrassed.
One side is heaven, the other side is hell.
By the time Ye Hong was ready to leave, Qingyi's skirt was already wet. She clenched her teeth, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. She trembled all over and suddenly tensed up.
It turned out that there was only a thin line between heaven and hell. She had already reached the other side and let out a long sigh. Then she realized that her underwear was so wet that she could wring out a few drops of water. She raised her hand and waved, and all the water marks disappeared.
She washed herself afterwards, especially her underwear, which was washed very clean, as if nothing had happened.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is dark and there are red clouds in the west, which are extremely bright red. The setting sun dissipates all its light and turns into a bow.
Only then did he realize that he was watching the sunset just now?
Under the same sunset, Qingyi suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. It seemed that she had no intention of pursuing responsibility. Instead, she showed an incredible tolerance.
Qingyi is even personally deducing a "Hibernating Dragon Method" for him, so as to teach him to restrain his breath and stop torturing her like this in the future. In a sense, this can even be regarded as an act of maternal devotion and forgiveness.
Perhaps it was because Qingyi saw her past self in him. It was because of her disapproval of her past self that she told him directly: I don't like you very much. No matter what you do, it's equally annoying to me.
Because I hate myself too.
It was precisely because of her dissatisfaction with her past mother that she took on the same role and did everything that Shenhe had done to her in the past to him. The scene was so similar, as if she had become the former Shenhe and he had become the former Xiao Qingyi.
If Ye Hong could launch a resistance, defeat her, and knock her down, it would mean that he had done what she had not dared to do before and had the courage to resist authority, which was even what Qingyi herself would be happy to see in her subconscious.
Even she herself didn't realize this.
Growing up does not make the pain you have experienced disappear. Instead, it will turn it into a vague feeling in your subconscious mind, which will be reflected in your interactions with people. The only way to avoid being troubled by it is to face it, resolve it, accept it calmly, and then there will be no more haze.
……
The world is so big, and farewell is a normal part of life.
On the second day, Ye Hong dressed neatly and put on his jade crown. Before leaving, he went to pay a visit to the head of the sect. Although Liu Heting wanted to keep him in the sect to practice well and consolidate his realm, but considering that he was going to visit his mother, he put himself in his shoes and said nothing more. He let him go generously. Finally, he just told him to be careful and go early and come back early.
Although Ye Hong is now nominally his sister's disciple, Liu Heting is not indifferent to him. He also taught him a method of self-realization called "Zhou Tian Gong".
The word "Zhoutian" was picked up by Liu Heting from ancient books. As the name suggests, it means a method of practicing exercises over and over again. Its true meaning lies in eight words, "You can practice it while walking, sitting or lying down."
To put it simply, it means to turn the gathering of Qi into an instinctive reaction of the body. You can practice it when you have nothing to do. You should squeeze out time to practice when you are busy. You can practice while eating and sleeping.
After seeing this, Ye Hong couldn't help but sigh that the real king of papers must be you, old man.
He had tried, but he couldn't reach the level of turning practice into instinct, so he could only develop the habit of doing daily tasks like playing a mobile game.
You must know that after building the foundation, the cultivation process is not as good as before. Going forward, it mainly depends on each person's talent and persistence over time.
Ye Hong has just started to build his foundation and has reached the early stage of building "Qi Sufficient".
After that, one must reach the two standards of "full essence" and "strong spirit" respectively to complete the whole process of foundation building. At the same time, these two standards are also the dividing line for judging whether the cultivator has broken through the middle and late stages of foundation building.
After leaving the sect, Ye Hong was eager to know how much he had improved after building his foundation, so he tried his best to activate the flying sword, but found that the fullness and richness of his true Qi was unimaginable.
After thinking about it for a while, I thought it was no wonder. The golden liquid spiritual energy was much more useful and durable than the transparent gas-like spiritual energy. I just didn't know what kind of wonderful scene it would be when the golden liquid flowing in the meridians and dantian of the whole body was compressed to the extreme and condensed into a golden pill?
He flew on his sword over thousands of mountains and rivers without stopping, with white clouds as his companions and the cold wind blowing on his face. It was as if he was racing, and it was so exciting.
Out of caution, Ye Hong took out a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills from his Qiankun bag, held it in his palm, and every hour, he poured out two pills and swallowed them.
The experience he gained from playing games in the past told him that controlling blue was a basic quality of a player, so he never let the true Qi in his body drop below 50%.
In fact, this kind of Qi-replenishing pill is a lower-level substitute for the Yuan-replenishing pill. It is relatively cheaper, but it is also slower to take effect. It is usually used as an auxiliary medicine when meditating and regulating breathing to restore Yuan Qi afterwards.
But Ye Hong directly practiced the "Zhou Tian Gong" without any need to meditate. His body began to digest the medicinal power of the pill instinctively according to the conditioned reflexes that had been repeatedly trained in the exercises.
He figured out this usage on his own, just like many little tricks for solving problems, which the teacher would not teach specifically.
When we walked to a place and saw the earth covered with silver, we felt that winter had arrived.
Due to the warm climate in Huazhou, he has never seen snow in the winter in the past two years, and even rain is hard to find.
It’s winter at the end of the year, and the wanderer is returning home on his sword.
Chapter 49: Words from a Weak Person
After Ye Hong arrived safely, he learned that his mother had not yet come out of seclusion, so he had to put aside all the thoughts in his mind and stayed at the Shanshui Villa on Yingke Peak.
I gradually began to notice some scenery that I had never noticed before, for example, there is actually a small poem inscribed at the entrance of the courtyard:
Sit alone and watch the mountains and water, and sleep soundly listening to the wind and rain.
Guests come and go every day, flowers bloom and fall every year.
How did I notice this little detail the last time I walked by here? It seemed to have popped up out of nowhere.
After thinking about it, I finally figured it out. What changes is not the scenery along the way, but the people who see the scenery.
After building the foundation, the energy that had been pent up in my heart was somewhat released. I felt relaxed, and my state of mind was naturally different from before. My eyesight was much better than before, and I no longer looked at things superficially.
In fact, spiritual practice, to a certain extent, is about seeing cause and effect in subtle details.
Although some things seemed to have changed in taste, some things remained the same. The one who came to ask for tea was still the female disciple from the Foundation Establishment Stage who guided the disciples from last time.
The two looked at each other, both a little surprised.
In fact, when they met for the first time, she knew that his identity was not ordinary, otherwise a mere cultivator in the Qi training stage would not be taken seriously by the higher-ups.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for several months, he had become so handsome that I almost didn't recognize him.
And how to describe it? They don't look like those disciples who have just started practicing. There is always a clear stupidity in their eyes, as well as curiosity and confusion about the world of cultivation.
His eyes were bright and lively, as if he was the same age as her, but he looked like a child.
Ye Hong saw a flash of light in her eyes, and then heard her say respectfully: "My dear guest, we meet again."
He couldn't help but look at this young woman in a silk dress. She had a pretty face and a slender figure. In terms of appearance alone, she was comparable to the "bed warmer maid" in his family.
To be fair, he didn't have any other thoughts about her. He just smiled and said, "Maybe it means that we are destined to be together." Then, he extended his hand and invited her, "If you are not busy, can you sit down and talk?"
Upon hearing this, the female disciple stared at him with slightly complicated eyes, nodded slightly, sat down and gently stroked the hem of her skirt, a hint of longing in her beautiful eyes.
"The distinguished guest has made rapid progress. It is truly enviable."
Generally speaking, it takes at least three months from the beginning of preparation to breaking through the foundation. Spending a year and a half is the middle level, and it is not uncommon for it to take even longer.
For example, she herself spent two and a half years to build her foundation, and she was a complete lower-class person.
Ye Hong said politely, "Since we know each other, there is no need to address me as honored guest. Just call me by my name, Ye Hong. How should I address you, Senior Sister?"
The female disciple was slightly startled, and then replied: "My last name is Bai, my name is Yuxuan, I really don't deserve to be called Senior Sister!"
After some pleasantries, the relationship between the two seemed to be closer. Bai Yuxuan poured him tea and also poured herself a cup. It was the best jasmine tea, which had the effect of moisturizing and refreshing the mind.
Ye Hong also expressed his doubts at the right time. Why is it that Feng'er, who is also in the middle stage of foundation building, can go out for training, while she is doing some menial work here?
Although his wording was very tactful, Bai Yuxuan understood what he meant. She sighed slightly, seeming a little sad.
To put it bluntly, in the world of cultivating immortals, being a wimp is the original sin. If she were as good at fighting as Feng'er, she would not be here to greet people and serve tea and water.
"To be honest with you, I am really ashamed..."
She was the only one who knew her own situation best. First of all, she had built her foundation purely by taking foundation-building pills, so it took her twenty years to break through to the middle stage of foundation-building. Furthermore, she had no top-grade spiritual roots, and no chance or luck... It could be said that she had nothing, and it was impossible for her to successfully form a pill by practicing alone. She couldn't even reach the threshold of the most critical "God" in the late stage of foundation-building.
Feeling discouraged, he came here to do some chores so that he could have more resources for cultivation every month.
Finally, Bai Yuxuan said with deep emotion: "Among a thousand children, only one has destiny; among ten thousand people who practice cultivation, only one can achieve the elixir; it is absurd for ordinary people to cultivate immortality."
