The original Manor Lord sighed softly and said, "Living in this world, one should have the spirit of adventure. Your initial thoughts weren't wrong, otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to your suggestion. But now that I have too many worries, I'm afraid of every little thing. "
Seeing that Li Yijie was still confused, he took the initiative to explain, "Everyone faces many choices in their life, the key is how you choose. Think about it, are you going to give up on two similar things just because your opponent has one of them? Are you going to take a detour just because your opponent has walked on the same path before? Are you going to admit defeat just because your opponent has done the same thing before, or did it better than you? So what if the Seven Malevolent Demons have the opportunity to explore the terrain? He might not be like us, going through every single direction one by one and calculating every single angle to the point of no error! So what if he can do it? Those inanimate objects with fixed data may not be able to take advantage of the terrain even after controlling them. Taking a step back, so what if he has the terrain? The success or failure of a battle depends on the right time, the right people, and a bit of luck. Who said that the terrain is the key to victory? If you want to compete in the opponent's territory, you can't avoid this flaw. But a true master, no matter how dangerous the place is, will remain unmoved and calm. This is the true state of mind, reaching the realm of great success. Although we may not be able to grasp the terrain better than him, at least we won't be fighting unprepared. We will explore as much as we can. Who can guarantee that the heavens won't help us? If we don't explore, we'll be handing ourselves over to his blade. In comparison, how to choose is up to you. "
Li Yijie's eyes brightened. Exploring may not be able to win, but not exploring will definitely lose. Choosing the lesser of two evils, this was the principle that the original Manor Lord taught him. In reality, this principle was easy to understand, but when one was really in the situation, who could keep a clear head and be calm? Li Yijie was suddenly enlightened. He bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, this disciple understands."
The original Manor Lord laughed, "What are you doing? Don't treat me like Sect Leader Meng! "As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yijie's sunny face once again darkened. Thinking of his master who had passed away early, he couldn't help but feel sad.
The original Manor Lord looked at his expression and suddenly understood something. He opened his palm and a strand of sand leaked out. He said, "Yijie, that's all for today. Let's go down the mountain first. The soil here is humid and hot. It seems that the magma in the mountain has indeed changed. The volcano will erupt between today and tomorrow! " Turning around, he went down the mountain first. When he was several 'li's away from Li Yijie, with his back to him, he said, "Wait for me at the foot of the mountain tonight."
Li Yijie clenched his fists and thought, "Are we going to explore the volcano at night? Great! "
That evening Li Yijie took a stroll around the island. Since he had nothing to do, he hurried toward the foot of Mauna Loa Mountain. The original Manor Lord was already waiting for him. When he saw him, he handed over a small gourd and said, "Drink some."
Li Yijie thought it was a very good tonic, so he obeyed and took the gourd. Who would have thought that as soon as he opened the cork, a pungent smell assaulted his nostrils. The original Manor Lord explained, "The islanders have fled far away. I found several jugs of old Shaodao wine in a small wine shop. I hope when they come back, they won't treat me like a thief."
Li Yijie shook his head and handed the gourd back. With a bitter laugh he said, "The enemy is right in front of us, how can I be in the mood to drink wine?" The original Manor Lord laughed and said, "The more nervous you are, the more you want to drink. Wine can raise the spirit, it can also calm people down. Before a battle, it is necessary to prepare. Didn't you ask me how I trained my Kung Fu? This is the secret, and you don't want to do it? "
Li Yijie frowned and looked at the gourd. He felt so drunk that he almost fainted. But he thought that if he couldn't even overcome the difficulty of a jug of wine, how could he be qualified to compete with the Seven Demons? He put the bottle to his mouth, clenched his teeth and poured the wine down his throat. This Shaodao wine was indeed extraordinary. His throat felt as if it was burning, as if it was being cut.
The original Manor Lord looked at him from the side and suddenly said, "Yijie, that matter, you still haven't let it go? Do you still feel sad when I mention your Shifu recently? "
Li Yijie was trying his best to endure the Shaodao wine's impact, but it was not easy. Hearing his question, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat and tears filled his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he felt a burning sensation on the bridge of his nose and half of his face was sore and numb. Tears and snot gushed out of his nose. At the same time he coughed again and again. It was as if he wanted to use the excuse of choking on the wine to vent all the sadness in his heart.
The original Manor Lord sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this? What joy is there in life, what bitterness is there in death? Your Shifu is no longer here. No matter how many tears you shed, he won't be able to come back. For the sake of a dead person, you are giving up on yourself … How long will it take for you to face this reality? Look into my eyes, don't run away! "
After a long time, Li Yijie reluctantly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he still could not see clearly. He reluctantly looked at the original Manor Lord and choked with sobs, "Uncle Yuan, maybe in the future, I can be calm. But now … Forgive me for not being able to face it. When your loved one disappears from your side alive, that kind of pain … is more intense than the sky collapsing and the earth sinking. He has been with you for twenty years. You are used to his existence and let him occupy a large part of your life. When that person suddenly disappeared, this world … Heh, even if one went to the ends of the earth, they would still never be able to see him again! It is as if a corner of your soul has been forcibly pulled out. Won't your heart be left with a large … irreparable blank? Think about it, if there is no support, no matter how high the house is, it will still collapse, right? Do you know? The saddest thing is when a cup has cracks, but people still regard it as complete. They can casually smash it and throw it, but what happens in the end? When it can't bear it anymore, it can only be broken into pieces and eventually forgotten by people … Since I was young, whenever I am unhappy, I prefer to be alone. I don't listen to comforts, but I also don't listen to criticism. It can't cheer me up, it can only make me collapse … Perhaps, my heart is always very weak. After that incident, I only regarded revenge as a channel to transfer my feelings. Otherwise, I am afraid that I really can't bear it anymore. I don't want to talk about it with anyone. I beg you … Uncle Yuan, please don't talk about it, okay? Just take it as I, Li Yijie, beg you! "
The original Manor Lord sighed and gently touched the messy hair on the top of his head. He said, "It is rare to see such a foolish child like you in the world. Alas, I can not talk about it, but can you guarantee that others won't talk about it? Can you guarantee that your enemies won't talk about it? Can you guarantee that you will completely let go of it in your heart? As long as this scar always exists in the depths of your heart, it will still cut your five viscera and six bowels from time to time, making you feel dull pain. That is planting a flaw in your body first … When fighting, the most taboo thing is to show weakness to others. But you are too emotional, there are many places that others can take advantage of. Now, with the tragic death of your master and junior fellow apprentice, once the other party makes a big fuss about this matter, you will definitely lose before the fight! "
Li Yijie was shocked and hurriedly said, "No … No, I will only feel sad when there is no one around. When I really fight with others, I … I will still go all out … "
The original Manor Lord said, "It is not the same! Before this, it was only because those opponents didn't touch the deepest wound that you had buried … No, it wasn't buried the deepest. The pain caused by your master's death was simply lying on the surface, allowing everyone to see and touch it! You can force yourself to say that it is not a big deal now, but when it really comes down to it, I am afraid that it will be too late for you to cry. As I said, the Seven Fiends brat is an expert at playing mind games. He understands best what kind of words can make the other party feel the deepest pain, like a needle stabbing into the heart, stirring it repeatedly. Under such an attack, how long can you last? He forced your master to death, but he keeps talking about it, as the most effective tool to provoke you. At this time, the most effective counterattack is not to cry in front of him and cooperate with him to mourn your master, but to act as if nothing happened, as if it can't affect you at all. At that time, maybe he will accuse you of being cold and heartless, an unfilial disciple, but he also killed his master to start his own business, so he has no right to insult you! Except for him, this reason is no longer applicable, but at the same time, other people will not sprinkle salt on your wound like this. Do you understand? Now, relax your mind, repeatedly recall the situation when your master died, and force yourself to accept it! "
Li Yijie was shocked, tongue-tied, and desperately shook his head, "No … No … I can't … I can't do it! I beg you … don't force me! "
The original Manor Lord shouted, "If you want to defeat the Qi Sha Demon, you must do it! At that time, even if I don't force you, that kid will force you, and your pain will be thousands of times worse than it is now! The source of your pain is because you don't dare to face this reality, but in your subconscious, you know it is real. So you are afraid, you are afraid that one day, there will be evidence that will combine the two hypotheses, so you run away, and prevent others from exposing it! If you want to overcome this shadow, you must face it from your own heart, then you can defeat it. This process may be very cruel, no different from peeling off a layer of skin dripping with blood. But if you don't take this step, you will be tormented by intermittent pain forever! Quick, close your eyes, try hard to recall. Brother Meng is buried in peace, his death is not your fault, you must avenge him, so you can't collapse. Think, repeatedly think, until you no longer resist! "
Li Yijie closed his eyes, but strange scenes still flashed in front of his eyes, full of the kindness and kindness his master had shown him in the past. He knew it was only a beautiful dream, but he would rather indulge in it and never wake up.
But every time this happened, the past would quickly twist and turn into a hazy light and shadow, and finally, like a flash of lightning, all the memories stopped at the scene of his master's mouth stained with blood, with a smile on his face, and stiffly falling into his arms. Then the light and shadow shattered, and the world turned into darkness again.
Li Yijie hugged his head tightly with both hands, feeling waves of stabbing pain rolling back and forth in his brain. It was as if a steel drill had pierced into his temple and was drilling into his brain repeatedly, trying to erase all his beautiful memories. Finally, he couldn't help but scream at the sky. In the quiet night of early winter, the moon was full. If a traveler heard these heart-wrenching screams, they might think that a once in a century werewolf had appeared on this deserted island.
The original Manor Lord coldly looked at Li Yijie, and in all fairness, he also didn't want to force this child who had always helped him to this point. But at the same time, forcing him was also saving him. Seeing him struggle in the sea of pain, he hardened his heart and didn't stop him.
