The Tao is far away

"The biggest fear in my heart?" Wang Chi murmured to himself.

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly, he saw a huge water ball suddenly rushing out from the inverted sea water, rushing towards him like a cannonball, and in an instant it tightly wrapped Wang Chi.

In an instant, endless water rushed in, quickly filling every inch of Wang Chi's body, as if to drown him completely.

At the same time, his mind seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, and he involuntarily fell into an illusory world.

When Wang Chi opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find himself in a strange yet familiar scene.

He was running desperately, and blood-red lightning flashed across the sky above his head from time to time, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws in the air.

Wang Chi stopped and looked around. Everywhere he looked, he saw people in panic, running away.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this... the Mount Tai where I was before I traveled through time?"

He stood quietly there, looking at the crowd who were fleeing in panic with calm and firm eyes.

Is this my greatest fear deep down?

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

Thinking back then, I fell off a cliff and nearly died, and then I encountered those bad guys and went through all kinds of thrilling things.

To me at that time, these were undoubtedly horrific things beyond common sense and terrifying.

But now, I am no longer the same as before!

Now, those guys were just ordinary monks. If we were to meet them now, defeating them would be as easy as crushing a few insignificant ants.

"Wang Chi, what are you daydreaming about? Run away quickly!" At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Chi suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head subconsciously. What he saw was a face he had almost forgotten - it was his former best friend, Li Yue.

"Li Yue, it's been a long time since we last met!" Wang Chi sighed.

Then, his sight slowly shifted to the two men behind Li Yue, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion: "Chen Fei, Du Xin, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Hearing this, Fade Chen, who was standing nearby, seemed a little anxious and hurriedly urged, "Wang Chi, are you scared to the point of losing your mind? Run!"

Wang Chi smiled slightly, but did not respond to Chen Fei's words immediately.

He just stared quietly at the three familiar and friendly faces in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave their appearance deeply into his memory.

"To you, I have been away from this world for ten whole years. I didn't expect that I could meet you again today with the help of this illusion. It really feels like a lifetime ago. Looking at your figures, those beautiful memories of the past instantly came to my mind..." At this point, Wang Chi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

However, although his heart was filled with reluctance and attachment, he knew very well that what he saw was all an illusion.

Then, he looked at his three good friends for the last time and said softly, "However, no matter what, the illusion is just an illusion. Goodbye, my friends..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright moon rose in Wang Chi's sea of ​​consciousness, like a silver plate hanging high in the sky.

The bright moon emitted a soft and warm light, illuminating the entire sea of ​​consciousness. At the same time, the originally clear scenes around him began to gradually break and shatter, like a huge mirror being shattered into countless pieces.

Seeing this, Qian Kun snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to be able to get through this illusion. I still underestimated you."

"You can now be called my opponent. Since you are my opponent, I will not give you any more chances. You will be immersed in the fear in your heart until you die."

Qian Kun looked at Wang Chi in the water ball in front of him, and merged several streams of water into the water ball.

"Unfortunately, my vision has just begun, and I cannot yet see the fear in your heart, otherwise I would have to give you some more as punishment for touching Xu Qianyu."

Wang Chi slowly opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene before him.

I found myself in a dilapidated little house that exuded an old smell.

This place was very familiar to him because this was where he had lived for many years.

When Wang Chi realized that his body had become as big as a teenager, an indescribable panic surged in his heart.

At this time, a haggard middle-aged woman was sitting by the bed sobbing quietly, and not far from her, a middle-aged man with an angry face sat silently on a stool.

These two people are Wang Chi’s father and mother.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel was breaking out between them, with heated words and neither side giving in.

Poor Wang Chi was caught in the middle and could only shed tears helplessly.

Faced with such a scene, Wang Chi couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Isn’t this what I feared most when I was young?

Looking back on his childhood, whenever his parents argued or even fought over trivial matters, the young Wang Chi always felt extremely scared and helpless.

Gradually, he began to get used to this family atmosphere, but the fear of his parents' quarrels in his heart always followed him.

Wherever he went, he couldn't help but worry, "Was they fighting again today?"

Wang Chi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head and gazed at his parents' weather-beaten faces.

Dad...Mom...

I haven't seen you for ten years!

Your unfilial children have caused you to suffer the pain of seeing your loved ones die.

In that world, I have been dead for ten years.

You have been getting old, but I haven't even been able to show my filial piety to you.

Wang Chi shrank his body and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to them twice.

The bright moon rises and the surroundings shatter.

White light flashed all around, and the illusion came again.

Wang Chi was still immersed in the emotions just now. Ten years had passed, and those memories that he once least wanted to recall became precious at this moment.

Parental love is heavy and dull, invisible and intangible.

It came like a flood late one night after I left.

My eyes are wet, and so are the four seasons.

The white light dissipated, and Wang Chi appeared in a bamboo shield surrounded by bamboos, with Qingluan next to him.

"When the murder of the Third Elder's grandson was exposed, it was Master who protected me. We were almost killed in the bamboo shield by the Third Elder."

At this moment, Wang Chi could feel the destructive energy outside.

It is the fear of death.

"Silly boy, we are going to die together." Qingluan smiled sweetly at Wang Chi, revealing two shallow dimples.

Wang Chi smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

Wang Chi already knew how things were going to develop, so naturally he was not afraid of anything.

At this moment, the entire surrounding environment suddenly twitched, like a broken screen.

There was no change around, but Wang Chi actually hugged Qingluan's slender waist, and Qingluan also hugged Wang Chi.

!

Wang Chi was startled and gently pushed Qingluan away. Looking at her puzzled eyes, Wang Chi felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Wang Chi controlled the rising moon and broke the illusion.

"She is my master, how can I?"
