Chapter 78: Empty Heart(1/2)
【Have you not realized it yet?】
Lin Qi listened to these words and stared blankly at the situation in front of him.
what happened?
Why is it that in my eyes, the leader of the Demon Sect is innocent? At this moment, his body is emitting a soft light, and his young face is so compassionate and kind.
What should I realize? What do I need to realize?
He is the holder of the Yan Emperor Order and the leader of the young generation of the human race for nearly a century. Yes!
[If you peel off your Taoist heart, I'm afraid there will be nothing inside, only illusion. Yesterday you lost the Taoist name. If you lose today, I will give you a Taoist number.
Let’s call it the Void Sword.】
A few nights ago, this man said this with a bit of pity in his eyes.
mercy?
Does Lin Qi still need mercy from others?
He is the son of the Lin family, the son of the military general Lin Nuhao, and the future leader of the Lin family. Why does he need the mercy of a small master of the Demon Sect?
"you……"
"Um?"
Wu Wan's eyes fell on Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's Taoist heart suddenly trembled; when he looked at the figure in front of him, his body trembled a few times for no reason.
It seems that the fear of facing this person has been engraved in his soul and body.
In a daze, Wu Wan's figure changed in Lin Qi's eyes;
He transformed into a middle-aged man wearing a battle armor. The man was looking at him with eyes full of disappointment and sighed:
'Lin Qi, I'm so disappointed in you.'
Lin Qi's hands trembled a few times, as if he wanted to explain something, but the top of his voice seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult to breathe.
'Let the younger generation go to the Renhuang Pavilion for the banquet. There will be trials arranged. If you don't come out on top, just stay there.'
'Lin Qi, that Ji Mo's reputation has been ruined. All you need to do is move forward in practice and don't pay too much attention to others.'
'My son Lin Qi, in this competition between the children of various families in the army, you must come first.'
"Lin Qi, do you know that if my father were born at such a good time as you, he would definitely suppress all the talented people in the human realm and become candidates for the next human emperor."
'Can't he become a true immortal in a hundred years? I have used so many treasures on him, but you come to tell me that he can't become a true immortal in a hundred years?'
'Hahahaha, my son Lin Qi looks like a human emperor!'
'Lin Qi, I'm so disappointed in you.'
Dome military camp, in front of Wu Wang.
Lin Qi seemed to have lost all strength and fell down. His lifeless eyes reflected Wu Wan's figure exuding a faint fairy light, and he murmured:
"Father……"
father!?
Wu Wan walked forward slowly, walked to Lin Qi and stood quietly, debating in his heart whether to agree or not.
Forget it, let's not take advantage of this. This guy looks pretty miserable.
It’s not easy for young people.
In the previous "not very fierce confrontation", Wu Wu discovered that Lin Qi had a shadow hidden deep in his heart. He originally thought that Lin Qi was related to the Ten Evil Palace, similar to the previous "Wang Lin".
Unexpectedly, this also involves family ethics.
After a moment, Lin Qi's eyes trembled slightly, and two tears fell from his cheeks. His whole person exuded frustration and slump, and he looked down at Emperor Yan's Ling again, in a daze.
He murmured: "Why is the Yandi Ling not the only one? Why are there three pieces? Why..."
Wu Wan said slowly: "You still can't understand?"
Lin Qi was startled for a moment: "What do I need to learn...I have learned all the techniques...I have also memorized all the formation catalogues..."
"You are too lost after all."
Wu Wan's voice penetrated into Lin Qi's ears and entered Lin Qi's spiritual platform. Accompanied by bursts of chanting, Lin Qi was deeply immersed in it.
"What is obsession? And why is there resentment?
What others impose on you is ultimately their obsession; what others ask you to do is not what you want to do?
Lin Qi, after all these years, have you done anything you wanted to do?"
"What you want to do...and do..."
Lin Qi's lips trembled, and pictures and scenes appeared in his eyes, but he found that most of the memories were of the attic practice room.
He thought of the beautiful maid when he was a boy, but at the end of the scroll, the maid was taken away, and he was locked in a room to continue practicing in seclusion.
And when he was about to go out, several maids he didn't know would appear in front of him.
"What do I want..."
"what do you want?"
Lin Qi was stunned for a while, as if he was in a black and white picture, the sky and the earth were vast, and everything was silent.
His eyes gradually became hollow, and his heart became confused. At this moment, he couldn't find an answer that he could blurt out, only those thin past events were presented repeatedly.
"I, I don't know, I don't know what I want."
"Your obsession was given by others," Wu Wan asked warmly, "Then, who are you living for?"
Who do you live for, live for, live for your father...
For my father’s satisfied smile, for my father’s ‘not bad’ compliment, and for the path forward that my father has drawn for me.
"For myself!"
Lin Qi's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he emphasized like a roar: "I live for myself! I live for myself!"
clatter.
A palm gently placed on Lin Qi's forehead and rubbed it slightly.
Lin Qi's lips trembled slightly, and she suddenly closed her eyes tightly, tears welling up in big drops. She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, but in the end she couldn't help but whimper.
The collapse of an adult monk often happens in an instant.
Throughout the military camp, figures were either suspended in mid-air or standing on the roof, watching this situation.
Most people didn't understand why, but when they looked at Wu Wan, there was a bit of respect and fear in their eyes.
Killing people without even giving a nod, but the Demon Sect leader forcibly defeated the Taoist heart of the holder of the Yan Emperor Order. Seriously...
"ah--"
Lin Qi suddenly raised his head and shouted:
"Father! I am so, so disappointed in you!"
Wu Wan chuckled lightly, turned around and walked slowly towards his wooden house, leaving only one word of encouragement:
"Ah, you are free."
…
Half a day later, at noon.
The sun shines through the treetops and falls on a few deck chairs; a breeze blows by, and the light spots sway gently.
Xu Mu, Wu Wan, and Ji Mo lined up in a row, wearing dark crystal mirrors, sucking on jade straws until their respective wine glasses made a "ho ho" sound, and they all burped and took a breath.
"Cool!"
Xu Mu raised his wine glass and exclaimed, "You two are so happy here."
Zhi Mo, however, showed a tangled look on his face. He turned to look at Wu Wang who looked calm and muttered: "Brother Wu Wang, we have a good relationship, right? Don't mess with me like you did to Lin Qi."
Xu Mu also wondered: "Wuwang, what did you do?"
"What did I do?"
Wu Wan curled his lips and said calmly: "That guy has a gap in his Taoist heart. He couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed. What's there to say?"
"The gap in the Dao Heart?" Xu Mu thought thoughtfully.
Wu Wan turned his head and glanced at Ji Mo, who trembled subconsciously.
"What, what happened?"
"Brother Ji, how was your childhood?"
"It's pretty good," Zimo was so nervous that his voice changed. "When I was a kid, I played with several cousins and cousins. There was no pressure on anyone, and I could practice as I wished... I'm very free, you're crazy!
"
