Practice Remembering You

Chapter 21 Going Down the Mountain! Crisis?

---The next day---

Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie came out of the room.

"What have you thought about it?" Wu Mengjie asked.

Zhang Yu pursed her lips and said, "I think it's still too dangerous. Without a master to follow me, if something goes wrong, everything will be over. Why are we in such a hurry?"

Wu Mengjie shook his head: "I want to go!"

"Why?" Zhang Yu really didn't understand.

“I thought for a long time yesterday and thought about many things. The reason why I want to become a cultivator and become an immortal in the eyes of the world is that I want to gain true courage. At that time, I think the stronger a person is, the braver he will be.

As my strength increased, this feeling became stronger and stronger, to the point that I took it for granted for a long time.

But I was wrong. Master Zheng's words yesterday woke me up and made me realize the reality that strength has nothing to do with courage. Strong strength only lowers my threshold of fear.

Whenever I encounter something that is beyond my current ability to handle safely, I will still be afraid.

Now, I can more or less understand what a sage once said: When a strong man draws his sword, he will only attack a stronger person; when a weak man draws his sword, he will only attack a weaker person.

I practiced martial arts, but I only dared to face opponents that I could beat. This was a sign of weakness. When I realized this, I found it was more painful than killing myself. I am a man standing between heaven and earth, how could I be a weakling? !

Fighting against the strong, even if I die, my courage is only to add another heroic soul to the world! I went to suppress the bandits not because I was anxious to achieve any goal, but to kill my own cowardice! "

After hearing this, Zhang Yu was speechless for a long time. After a while, he let out a long sigh: "Oh, forget it. What can I do when I meet a stubborn person like you? I'll go with you."

Wu Mengjie was very touched when he heard that Zhang Yu originally didn't want to go, but now wanted to go with her because of him.

But he still declined: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to go. I just got carried away and did this."

"I've already made up my mind, so don't say any more." Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at Wu Mengjie, "You still have to go by yourself... Humph! There are so many people in that place who kill without blinking an eye. If you get beaten up or ambushed, there won't be anyone to collect your body after you die."

“Haha!” Wu Mengjie laughed: “Then you follow me. If we get beaten up or attacked by surprise, then both of us will die.”

"After I go there, there will be an extra pair of eyes watching us. At least we won't be ambushed. And with two top second-rate masters here, even if we are surrounded, we should be able to... probably... maybe... possibly... escape."

Wu Mengjie happily hugged Zhang Yu, and the two of them went to the cafeteria to eat arm in arm.

After dinner, I took some dry food and water from the canteen to eat on the road.

After completing the preparations, he went to find Zheng Qianli, got the map from him, and then they went down the mountain.

Although Zheng Qianli said that he would not follow, it was actually impossible for him not to follow. He asked Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie to fight the bandits mainly to stimulate them to break through the realm. He couldn't let them really die.

So he completely restrained his breath, hid his body, and followed at a distance of about one hundred meters.

At the same time, in Zhuiming City, Mo Mansion.

Shi Dongdong was sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing with his eyes closed.

Mo Xue sat quietly on a chair, staring at Shi Dongdong with her big eyes. After five years of growth, although Mo Xue was still lively, she also knew the difference between men and women and was much more restrained than when she was a child.

After a while, Shi Dongdong fell from the air, opened his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

Her physical injuries had long since recovered, but the foundation of her cultivation had been damaged. Her realm was now stagnant at the peak of the magic realm. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward, which made her very depressed.

"It seems that I have to go back to Juefeimen, otherwise the foundation will definitely not be repaired. Alas... The journey is long, and my cultivation has plummeted, so I don't want to take this risk." Shi Dongdong thought.

Seeing that Shi Dongdong had finished her training, Mo Xue hurried forward and said, "Sister Shi, you have finished your training. You don't look very well today. Did you encounter any problems?"

"It's okay." Shi Dongdong shook his head: "It's an old problem, Sister Xue, I want to tell you something."

"Sister Shi, please speak." Mo Xue stood up immediately.

"I have been here for five years. I have gotten along well with you during these five years, but for some reasons, I can't stay here any longer. So before you leave, you can make a wish. If I can do it, I will do my best to help you fulfill it."

"Sister Shi, are you leaving?" Mo Xue's tone was filled with reluctance, and she didn't care about what followed.

Looking at Mo Xue's appearance, Shi Dongdong felt a little reluctant and touched Mo Xue's head: "Don't be like this, all good things must come to an end. Besides, it's not like I won't come back. I will come back to see you when I finish my work."

"Then I hope Sister Shi will come back soon." Mo Xue looked sincere.

Shi Dongdong was surprised and helpless: "This is not a wish. I will definitely come back to see you. Make another wish."

Mo Xue pondered for a while, and with a faint hope, she timidly asked: "Sister Shi, can I really not become a monk?"

Shi Dongdong nodded: "Sister Xue, you don't have spiritual roots, so you can't practice."

Mo Xue lowered her head in disappointment. In fact, she was prepared to get this answer, because she asked this question once a year and the answer was always the same.

Shi Dongdong sighed. She really couldn't do anything about it, because if Mo Xue had even a little bit of spiritual root talent, Shi Dongdong would let her practice, but Mo Xue really didn't have even a little bit. She was the kind of person who could climb the stone steps of Qiuling Mountain, and at most the fifth step.

"Why are you so obsessed with practice?"

Mo Xue heard this with a hint of shyness on her face: "I have a good friend who went to Qiuling Mountain to practice martial arts. I heard that he has a great talent and he will definitely become a cultivator in the future if he reaches the top of the mountain. So I also want to become a cultivator."

Shi Dongdong looked at the shy expression on Mo Xue's face, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Oh~ What good friend? Could it be a lover?"

Mo Xue's face turned red and she quickly explained, "No! No! Sister Shi, what are you talking about? We were good siblings when we were little."

At this point, Mo Xue's face showed a little worry: "But we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder if we can still play as well as we did when we were kids."

Shi Dongdong smiled and said, "Sister and brother? If my guess is correct, it should be the boy from the Zhang family who often writes to you."

Mo Xue blushed to her ears and nodded.

Shi Dongdong found Mo Xue very cute and continued to tease her: "If I remember correctly, your mother Chen Ying told me that you and Zhang Yu were engaged as children. That's great."

"This...ah..." Mo Xue was a little flustered: "Zhang Yu doesn't seem to know yet, and when he grows up, he may not be willing to recognize him."

"You keep asking whether the other party is willing or not, which means you have already agreed." Shi Dongdong smiled and looked unserious.

Mo Xue seemed to be overloaded. He didn't know how to respond. He froze in place, his head still seemed to be smoking.

Shi Dongdong was helpless, so he casually sent a stream of true energy to Mo Xue. In an instant, Mo Xue's emotions were forced to calm down.

At this time, Shi Dongdong put away her playful smile and said seriously: "Sister Xue, joking aside, I'm going to give you a piece of advice. Maybe you won't be happy to hear it, but you must think about it carefully."

"Sister, please speak." Mo Xue listened carefully.

"Regarding your lifelong happiness, you must know that you have no spiritual roots and are destined not to become a cultivator. You can only be a mortal. And your brother Zhang Yu will definitely be a cultivator in the future. Not to mention that the two of you will live in different worlds in the future. Even if you can ignore this and get together, the huge difference in your lifespans... huh?!"

Before Shi Dongdong finished speaking, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart!

"What's wrong with my sister?" Mo Xue looked at Shi Dongdong.

Shi Dongdong frowned and did not respond to Mo Xue. Instead, he quickly flew out of the house to the yard.

"boom!"

A muffled sound came from a distance, and the direction of the explosion was the south gate of Zhuiming City.

Shi Dongdong rose into the air and looked towards the place where the explosion came from. When he saw clearly what was over there, his pupils couldn't help but shrink!
