Ye Kong was a little puzzled and looked around. Yes, it was still the same old man, the same stall, and the same position, but why was the taste so different? Also, why did Wang Tingshi say it was delicious?
Ye Kong began to suspect that Wang Tingshi was lying, but looking at her smile, it didn't seem like it.
The strange thing was, why did he feel that it was not as delicious as yesterday?
However, as the person who treated, Ye Kong was embarrassed to say no, so he could only bury his head and continue eating.
At this moment, it was dinner time. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, walking, riding, carrying loads … They were all rushing home to enjoy the reunion after a day.
Ye Kong looked at the crowd, his gaze focused, and said slowly, "Although mortals don't have magic power, and their abilities are low, they are not pigs, nor are they ants. They have thoughts, they have pursuits, and they have the ability to create. They can create a glorious civilization, can pass on a long history, and they are the soil of immortal cultivators. As immortal cultivators, we should be their protectors and not kill them at will … There is a saying in my hometown, 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' That is the relationship between the common people and the ruler, but in fact, isn't the relationship between mortals and immortal cultivators the same? "
He didn't know if Wang Tingshi understood, but she just smiled and nodded. "Daoist Brother Li is kind-hearted. It seems that I was right to say that you are a good person."
After saying that, Wang Tingshi ate a mouthful of tofu flower and asked again, "Daoist Brother Li's supernatural power of turning spiritual power into silk to wrap the flower is quite interesting. It is the first time I have seen it. May I know what kind of cultivation technique it is?"
Ye Kong smiled bitterly. "To tell you the truth, when you came to find me, I was worried about it. In fact, that cultivation technique is a kind of beginner sword cultivation technique. I have just started to practice it, but there are some reasons that make me consider whether to continue practicing it or not. "
Today, Wang Tingshi also saw Ancestor Jing Quan's shocking sword and sighed. "The power of a sword cultivator is really domineering."
Then she encouraged, "If I continue to practice it, would I not practice such a domineering and powerful cultivation technique? Would I practice a weak and useless cultivation technique? But I don't know what are the reasons you mentioned? "
Ye Kong said, "There are two reasons. One is that this cultivation method isn't in my hands, so it's inevitable that I'll be controlled by others in the future … Of course, this isn't the main reason. The main point is the second point. I feel that although this cultivation technique is tyrannical, it repels other cultivation techniques. I've only practiced it for a short while and I've already encountered two inner demons. They actually want to stop me from continuing to practice my original foundation cultivation technique. "
Wang Tingshi, on the other hand, did not care. She said, "No matter what cultivation method one cultivates, isn't it just for the sake of increasing strength? If this sword cultivation method is really powerful, then it's fine not to cultivate other cultivation methods … As for being controlled by others, it doesn't matter. In order to pursue strength, you can give up anything, let alone being controlled by others. When you have the strength, you can kill this person and take the cultivation method.
Ye Kong didn't reply. He just looked into the distance and smiled.
Was he willing to give up everything for the sake of power? Then, what about freedom, dignity, and humanity? Could it be that the Heaven's Dao wants to cultivate living people into powerful clay puppets that are emotionless, without love, hate, sorrow, or joy? What was the difference between that and the Bodhisattva in the temple?
Ye Kong scooped another spoonful of tofu pudding.
But just as it entered his mouth, he spat it out as if he had been electrocuted. It was too unpalatable. It was simply like dog shit. Ye Kong didn't know why this tofu pudding was so unpalatable. Moreover, it was getting more and more palatable.
Wang Tingshi looked at Ye Kong in puzzlement. "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think today's tofu pudding is really unpalatable? It's completely different from yesterday's!"
Wang Tingshi shook her head. "No, I think it's very delicious."
Probably hearing their conversation, the old man coughed for a while. He almost coughed to death. Then he said to himself, "Sigh, the other day I saw Uncle Zhang's wonton … Tsk tsk, that taste, that business, it's really good. It makes this old man envious. So I also went to make wonton. Who knew, after making it for a long time, I still couldn't make any wonton. Instead, I forgot how to make the tofu pudding … Sigh, when people get old, they become useless. Cough, cough, cough … "
Wang Tingshi said with a smile, "No, I think it's very delicious. I've never eaten such delicious wonton before."
But Ye Kong's heart sank! That's right, how can I learn another cultivation method before I've even learned one?
If I encounter other powerful cultivation methods in the future, will I also give up on sword cultivation? If this cycle continues, I'm doomed to achieve nothing!
Although the story of a bear breaking sticks is just a joke, many people can't wake up from it. They always break one and throw one away. In the end, there's nothing left!
Although sword cultivation is powerful, how can it be compared to my Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra? I have abundant Spiritual Force, overbearing Five Elements Sword Array, endless talismans … As long as I have a firm heart to cultivate, why should I worry that I can't achieve the Dao and soar to heaven?
Right at this moment, his heart returned to its tranquil state, and his Dao Heart became extremely firm. Moreover, the inner demons at the bottom of his heart were like illusions that slowly shattered and scattered into the lake of his heart, and they didn't cause a single ripple.
Thinking of this, Ye Kong quickly stood up, bowed to the old man called Uncle Hong, and said respectfully, "Senior, thank you for enlightening me. A bowl of stinky tofu pudding is a thousand times better than a delicious tofu pudding!"
Uncle Hong ignored him, coughed twice, and said viciously, "I don't know what you're talking about, it's a mess, I don't know what you're talking about … Eat quickly, I'm going to close the stall, and I'm busy going home to continue learning how to make wonton!"
Ye Kong laughed and didn't dare to talk anymore. He put down a few copper coins and left with Wang Tingshi.
He has helped me so much, why should I still stay? These masters live in seclusion in the world because they don't want people to know. If I still pester them, wouldn't I be ungrateful? If I annoy the masters, do I have a death wish?
As for whether he's a master or not, it's already certain. Can he be an ordinary person who can make the same tofu pudding taste different to different people?
However, the old man didn't have any Spiritual Force at all, and Ye Kong couldn't sense it at all, which made him guess that if Uncle Hong was really a cultivator, he might have surpassed the Yuanying Stage. Otherwise, how could he restrain his Spiritual Force to the point that it didn't leak out?
