Chapter 152: Unstable State of Mind

Unstable State of Mind

Although she knew that the Cold Rain Marsh was in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, it actually did not leave the palm of the Grotto-Heaven True Persons. But after entering the marsh, everything she saw was different from usual. Ruan Ci also had the illusion of coming to another world. It was not until this old man came forward that she woke up like a dream, and she also knew that it was the first time she had witnessed a real Golden Core fight—Foundation Establishment disciples, if they died, they died. No matter how good the prospects were, the Grotto-Heaven True Person would not pin too many hopes on them. But like Xu Shaowei, Zhong Sixteen, and Fu Manzi, these Golden Core peak cultivators had a deep foundation, and it was not so easy to kill them. Even if it was a desperate situation, it was possible to be resolved by the Grotto-Heaven True Person at a certain price. For example, Fu Manzi's master, in addition to the cause and effect price of intervening in low-level disciples, also bore a share of the fortune that Ruan Rong should have received. Although Ruan Rong left, this trip could be said to be very successful.

Ruan Ci was not very happy. She stood in the water for a while, thinking of Qu Qu Tan Yue and Young Master Chong, who were also in this place, only then did she tidy up her mood, barely showing a smile, and bowed to thank the two. Qu Qu Tan Yue said, "You should thank your own luck. We were trailing the Shangqing magic boat from afar, but since the freezing storm erupted, we lost our direction. Helplessly, we could only choose a place to roam at will, but didn't expect to take the same direction as you, and the distance was very close, so we could arrive in time. This is your luck."

The word fortune seems ethereal, but it is also a factor that can be gambled on. Ruan Ci thought of Fu Manzi's divine ability and was also full of mixed feelings. She hid one or two privacy and told everyone the story after they encountered the freezing storm. Qu Qu Tan Yue had no evaluation of the secrets Zhong Sixteen said, but Young Master Chong listened very intently.

Ruan Ci was not very interested in past grievances, at least not the top priority at this time. She asked Qu Qu Tan Yue if she knew who was behind the freezing storm. Qu Qu Tan Yue thought for a while and said, "The freezing power is the manifestation of the water-element law in the destruction avenue. Sects that practice the water-element avenue have certain divine abilities and can manipulate it slightly. To say that one can set off such a storm with one's own strength is impossible. There are articles in it that I can't explain clearly, but I once sensed the magic power fluctuation of the Canglang Sect in the distance. If someone uses the freezing storm to deal with you, perhaps it is the people of the Canglang Sect. This sect has always been active in the East Sea, and I don't know when they stretched their hands to the Cold Rain Marsh."

She also said, "If the Canglang God-Child also came, it would be difficult for your Shangqing Xu Fairy to take him down here. This place is a water-element place, which is the natural home field of the Canglang Sect. Fairy Xu has to suppress her magic power to avoid destroying the Cold Rain Flower field. It is impossible for the Canglang Sect to capture her, but it is not so simple for her to get rid of the Canglang Sect."

If it weren't for worrying about destroying the Cold Rain Flower field, I'm afraid Zhong Sixteen would have killed everyone except Ruan Rong, and Fu Manzi would have captured Ruan Ci long ago. This flower actually had a protective effect on Ruan Ci, but she felt a trace of irritability when she heard these four words. She shook her head and said, "Don't talk about these. Now we can only try to find Uncle Tu and Yue Niang first, otherwise we can't even pick the Flower King. The Flower King needs special magic tools to be preserved, and those magic tools need to be sacrificed and refined from time to time, hidden in Yue Niang's place."

Young Master Chong said, "Your clan sister is already missing. She is the person handling the errand, and you are the one protecting the Dao. If you can't find her, even if the Flower King is obtained by you, I'm afraid it will be useless."

This makes sense, it is still better to find Ruan Rong first. But Ruan Rong was rolled into the huge waves, whether it sank into the black water area, or fell outside the Dao rhyme barrier, or broke into the space crack, it was not something Ruan Ci could search for. What could Ruan Ci do? She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "Rong Jie and I both apprenticed to True Person Chu, which counts as one sect, and the clan relationship is extremely close. The fortune of the Cold Rain Flower King might be connected back to me. Even if it can't be connected back, I pick the Flower King, which means others can't pick it, right?"

Qu Qu Tan Yue glared at Young Master Chong, not letting him say any more, supported Ruan Ci's arm, and said softly, "You just do whatever you want, we will naturally help you—my lady, if you want to cry, just cry, it doesn't matter."

Ruan Ci shook her head, "I don't want to cry, it's all things I thought of, there is no accident." Actually, she was a bit sentimental, but she didn't want to show it in front of these two people. Wang Panpan was hidden in the spirit beast bag, and there was no place to talk.

How could Qu Qu Tan Yue not feel her emotions? It's just that Ruan Ci didn't want to say it, so she couldn't force it. She could only shake her head slightly, sigh lightly, and said, "The lucky person has his own heaven's appearance. Your sister and Zhong Sixteen are in one place. Zhong Sixteen has innate strong luck. Your sister can get such an opportunity, and her fortune is also different from ordinary people. They will definitely be able to return safely."

Ruan Ci said, "Now we can only wait, but when I go out, if I meet Qian Ge again, what should I say to him."

She sighed for a long time, and in front of Young Master Chong, she didn't say any more, just asked, "Is that old Taoist the Sect Master of the Qingling Sect? What is the great catastrophe of heaven and earth? It sounds like it is imminent, but why have I never heard anyone mention it? And the Taiwei Gate's plan to unify the world sounds too crazy. Is it also related to the so-called great catastrophe of heaven and earth?"

Actually, it was not the first time she heard someone mention 'time is tight'. Wang Panpan had said it once before. It seemed that something big was brewing in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, but Foundation Establishment cultivators knew nothing about it, and even Golden Core cultivators like Qin Fengyu and Qi Yueying seemed to have no clues. Instead, disciples like Zhong Sixteen and Xu Shaowei knew about it.

Qu Qu Tan Yue was slightly startled, then said as if nothing had happened, "That old Taoist is indeed the Sect Master of the Qingling Sect. The Qingling Sect is divided into two factions: home and monk. The monk faction has Taoist names and has always occupied the upper hand. Monk disciples cannot form dao companions, nor will they give birth to children, so as to clarify cause and effect and purify fortune. Fu Manzi is the youngest disciple most loved by the Sect Master. If there is no accident, his fortune to achieve Grotto-Heaven in the future will have a share."

She said so many secrets of the Qingling Sect, but avoided talking about the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. How could Ruan Ci not feel it? It's just that Qu Qu Tan Yue didn't say it, and she didn't want to force it. It is expected that Wang Panpan knows the bottom line, and it is not too late to ask when the time comes. Because she asked, "Where should we look for the Flower King now?"

She originally wanted to ask about True Person Qingshan, but thinking that this was the privacy of the Shangqing Sect, she didn't ask Wang Panpan, and she should ask True Person Wang, so she didn't mention it. From just now to now, she had hesitated several times, and Qu Qu Tan Yue didn't know it. Her expression couldn't help but be a bit sentimental, and she sighed, "How did you and I become so estranged?"

This sentence was really not well said. The estrangement between the two women was caused by him, right?

Qu Qu Tan Yue shouldn't have said this sentence. The three of them had no interest. Young Master Chong was a hero, and at this time he was naturally a bit aggrieved. Ruan Ci had no mood to be jealous at all. She only felt that these disputes caused by love were really meaningless. Qu Qu Tan Yue just used love as her cultivation path. This kind of love caused by Dao was really cheap, and even disgusting. I don't know what she was thinking when she seduced people to fall in love—since joining the Shangqing Sect, Qu Qu Tan Yue had helped her again and again, but Ruan Ci secretly hoped that he would be backlashed by the seed of love. Sometimes she thought it was heartless, but she was angry because of Ruan Rong's matter today, and Ruan Ci felt that if he was backlashed by the seed of love, it was also retribution.

The three of them were not fledgling boys. Qu Qu Tan Yue said a sentence badly, and no longer described it. They all covered it up as if nothing had happened, and tried to sense the whereabouts of Uncle Tu, Qi Yueying and others together. However, Qu Qu Tan Yue didn't dare to let Ruan Ci fall alone. Not to mention anything else, the group of Canglang Sect people didn't know where they were now.

Ruan Ci also knew she was kind, but felt more irritable. Ruan Rong struck the Wind and Wave Bell for her. That bell sound not only messed up the spiritual space, but also seemed to knock Ruan Ci's state of mind into chaos. The spiritual sense in the inner landscape heaven and earth was always difficult to calm down. The sky was gloomy, and it could not reflect the jade pool. Over time, her heart was even more disgusted, and she even had the feeling of wanting to vomit.

This is the state of mind is chaotic, and the cultivation method is unstable. If it were the Qi Refining stage, it might be slightly injured because of this. The Foundation Establishment stage would not be so bad, but the older the cultivator, the deeper the city, and naturally the more they can digest various setbacks, and will not mess up their spiritual sense at will. Once the spiritual sense is chaotic, it is not something that can be calmed down in a few words. Some cultivators even have to delay their cultivation for a long time because of this. Not only can their cultivation not make progress, but they might also regress. This is the state of mind bottleneck that cultivators often talk about.

Ruan Ci had only heard people talk about it, and she had few such experiences. For her, cultivation is nothing more than water grinding work. As long as there is enough time, any barrier or bottleneck is like a small ditch, jumping over it. This was the first time she tasted the taste of a bottleneck. There was a group of gloomy fire trapped in her heart, burning coldly. She wanted to vent, but didn't know who to vent to, and couldn't vent to anyone. Even Qu Qu Tan Yue was very concerned about her and had no reason to vent. What's more, this one is Young Master Chong's dao companion. If it is not necessary, Ruan Ci is not willing to be too close to her.

After a few days like this, Qu Qu Tan Yue sensed spiritual power fluctuations near the black water area. Ruan Ci finally had more things to divert her attention. At this time, she didn't go to the horns, and hurried to the place with Qu Qu Tan Yue. Halfway through, she gradually sensed that aura, and was slightly startled, "It's not Yue Niang, Uncle Tu, but this aura is also a bit familiar."

Qu Qu Tan Yue said, "Since it is familiar, let's go there and see."

The three turned into water droplets and hurried to the place by water escape. That aura was getting weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared. When the three arrived, the water area was already empty. Young Master Chong frowned, "The aura was a bit weak when it appeared. Is it because the spiritual power was exhausted and fell back into the black water area?"

In the black water area, the spiritual pressure is extremely strong, the water temperature is extremely cold, not only is there freezing law flowing from time to time, but there is also a sticky suction force, sucking people down. If the cultivation is insufficient, falling into the black water area is very difficult to break free. Occasionally climbing out for a while, but seriously injured, and falling down again, is also reasonable. Qu Qu Tan Yue looked around, and said in her mouth, "It should be so..."

She smiled slightly, reached out and beckoned, only to see a young girl appearing from nothing in the water and flying toward her. Qu Qu Tan Yue smiled, "Or maybe not."

Young Master Chong pointed at Qu Qu Tan Yue, and they looked at each other and smiled, but they were very tacit, as if no one else could intervene. Ruan Ci had no time to pay attention to them, and looked at the girl, surprised, "Actually it's you—you weren't rolled away by the waves?"

——This little girl, who was dying and looked withered, was actually the ghost-faced girl who was jumping and jumping in the Taiwei Gate.

Updated, sorry for the wait, everyone. I will send a red envelope for this chapter.

I finally got home, but it's not easy to notify the added updates temporarily. I will try to add updates this week. Because the journey is still a bit tired, and to be honest, typing on my 12-inch macbook is simply torture. Not only because I usually use a 27-inch computer screen, but also because I am used to mechanical keyboards. The short-range keyboard like Magic Keyboard has no feel. I will be very eager to end it when I type on this keyboard. After I tried it again on Monday, I hurriedly ordered a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard... The minila I bought before couldn't be found, and minila is unusually difficult to use and funny. As a small mechanical keyboard that focuses on portability, it is particularly heavy. It is as heavy as a steel plate inside. So where is the portability?

I also bought a new macbookair this morning! I hope the 13-inch screen is better than the 12-inch (I'm telling a joke, I know)

anyway, I abandoned the "Handbook for Raising the Chief Assistant", and now I am reading "Shao Song". Compared with before, it is easier to get into, but not very fascinated, because the full content is continuous war. Of course, this is the main theme of that period of history, but I still feel it is too heavy (my own problem)

In addition to the unhappiness of typing during this trip, the most collapsed thing is my hair. I am generally wary of the toiletries in hotels, and I always feel that they are very dry after use. As a result, I didn't bring shampoo this time, and the hotel toiletries are Hermes, so I trusted it a little bit. This is a very wrong decision! I was very sleepy after washing my hair, and I went to sleep without blowing it dry or combing it. When I got up the next day, my hair was as dry as withered grass and stuck together. It was completely the feeling of damaged hair scales. I hurriedly applied Kerastase hair care essential oil. Good guy, what is oily and dry? It is simply super knotted. After I got home yesterday, I hurriedly did a hair mask for half an hour and applied black diamond essential oil for a long time. Finally, the emergency rescue was successful. Now it is oily but not dry...
