Chapter 111 Sang Yuan: Young Disciple Jianghu Lao (Extra)
Since the end of the battle between good and evil, Sang Yuan returned to the Jinge Sect. Everyone could see that he was devastated and looked depressed.
The clouds in the sky kept changing, but Sang Yuan sat on the steps every day, staring at the sky.
"Little junior brother!"
Guan Liang patted Sang Yuan on the shoulder, and his eyes froze for a few seconds before they refocused.
Guan Liang sat down next to Sang Yuan and asked patiently, "What happened? Can't you tell me, your senior brother?"
"Big Brother, I'm wondering whether I should stay in Jinge Sect."
"Is it so serious?"
The ending of Guan Liang's voice was tilted upwards, and he didn't have the seriousness of the senior brother at all. Instead, it sounded like he was joking.
Sang Yuan sighed, "I suddenly realized that I am a very hypocritical person."
He held the twin bells in his hands, and his memory suddenly went back to that day.
When Ding Zhenghua rushed towards Ni Fang with a sword in hand, he was standing not far from Ni Fang. He was obviously standing closer than Lin Yi, but he watched helplessly as he appeared in the air like a sacrifice to block the sword for Ni Fang.
He even felt that a few drops of Lin Yi's blood fell on his face.
After hearing this, Guan Liang knew that Sang Yuan was obsessed with Ni Fang, and thought that he was depressed because he knew he could no longer compete with Lin Yi, so he advised, "In fact, even if Lin Yi didn't exist, Ni Fang wouldn't like you. Although Ni Fang is not born with a Taoist body, her behavior is somewhat like Luo Haisheng. She can love everyone in this world, but she won't love only one person."
As the first disciple, Guan Liang was always compared with Luo Haisheng, and he himself liked to observe Luo Haisheng. After meeting Ni Fang, he found the similarities between Ni Fang and Luo Haisheng, even though they looked lively and agile, while the other looked ethereal and noble.
Guan Liang patted Sang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "It's very tiring to like someone like this. You should think it through sooner and like someone else."
Sang Yuan shook his head, "No, that's not what I wanted to say."
"That's not it?"
Now it was Guan Liang's turn to be stunned.
"That day I clearly saw that Ding Zhenghua was going to perish with my sister, but I didn't rush to protect her before Lin Yi. It wasn't because I didn't have the opportunity, but because I hesitated."
Recalling the scene at that time, Sang Yuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was cold.
But he wasn't done yet.
"My legs seem to be sealed," Sang Yuan clutched her hair, "but my brain is still thinking. It is clearly blank. When all thoughts should disappear, there is a thought that clearly appears in my head."
Sang Yuan's eyes began to blur, his fingers were tangled together, and the sound of his heartbeat was like a drum beating in his head, but he couldn't stop it all, so he started biting his fingers, as if he could calm down by biting like this.
"I wonder, which is more important, my life or my love?"
"When I clearly understood this idea, Lin Yi appeared. I saw the look in his eyes. It was a look of fearlessness in the face of death, and even a hint of happiness. He sacrificed his life for his love."
"At that moment, I suddenly felt so hypocritical. I even felt so disgusted with the words 'like' and 'love' that I always talked about before."
Sang Yuan looked at Guan Liang and took out the broken golden abacus from his arms. Everyone who joins the Jinge Sect will ask the casting master to make a golden abacus for them in the first year. This is their natal magic weapon and also the most important thing to them.
The sword he had was broken, but he kept putting it off and didn't get a new one.
He suddenly laughed, a very bitter laugh, and said as if mocking himself, "What on earth am I calculating? Weighing the pros and cons? How ridiculous."
Jinge Zong, entered the Tao through business.
These disciples have to learn from a young age how to weigh the pros and cons, calculate gains and losses in various situations, and strive for a win-win situation for themselves even in the most unfavorable circumstances.
But his cowardice and Lin Yi's sacrificial behavior almost destroyed Sang Yuan's Taoist heart.
He kept asking himself, was he weighing in his heart which was more important, his own life or Ni Fang's life? If the essence of love is devotion, then what is his love? Is it hypocrisy?
Sang Yuan couldn't figure it out. These problems trapped him and he couldn't escape.
Guan Liang, who has always been eloquent, could only remain silent at this moment.
Even if they enter Taoism through business, they still cultivate a clear and bright Taoist heart.
"I want to go down the mountain and gain some experience to see if I can find the answer in my heart. I wonder if Senior Brother can help me talk to Master."
"Okay, but you must remember to come back."
In the following years, Sang Yuan has been walking in the secular world. He has met many people and understood many things. Love has hundreds of forms, and he should not be obsessed with just one of them.
Although this is the truth, Lin Yi's behavior is always imprinted in his mind. He has seen the most sincere love in the world, and he always feels that the love of others is inferior.
The day when Yanlan and Chenxiang got married was considered a major event in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
The marriage between the Medicine Sect's first disciple and Yunlian Zhenren's closed disciple was a very good marriage, so it was naturally announced widely. Even he, who was going out for training, received the invitation.
Sang Yuan hesitated for a long time, but finally went to watch the wedding.
He saw Lin Yi and Ni Fang through the crowd. Lin Yi was now unable to walk and could only sit in a wheelchair. Ni Fang's hand was on his shoulder. The two whispered to each other from time to time. It was unknown what Ni Fang said, but the two laughed together, as if they were still the same as before.
He could hardly take his eyes away and stood there looking for a long, long time.
The two of them still look the same as they did back then, but Sang Yuan himself has a dry heart and is getting older step by step.
He left the scene in a hurry without waiting for the wedding ceremony to end.
When Guan Liang brought the news of Lin Yi's death, Sang Yuan was training in a fantasy world. His movements paused for a moment, and the blade of the eight-eyed mantis pierced through his shoulder fiercely.
It hurts.
The pain woke him up in an instant.
Because Guan Liang also said that Ni Fang left some words for him.
In the past seven years, he has traveled almost all over the country but has never thought of returning to Jingezong.
But Guan Liang only used eight words to make him willingly return to Jingezong.
Amid the aroma, Sang Yuan and Guan Liang sat opposite each other drinking tea.
"What did she leave?"
"She said that it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and we should not feel sorry or guilty because of our nature. Since you are still alive, you should live well and do more things."
Sang Yuan was silent for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice, "She knows everything?"
"You seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Only a fool could not guess. I originally wanted to find her to persuade you because I saw that you had not come back, but she took the initiative to say these words after I had just said a few words. I think she has deliberately avoided contact with you over the years, and she also wants you to be alone and think about your next path."
Sang Yuan just nodded dejectedly.
Guan Liang suddenly discovered that Sang Yuan had some gray hair on his temples.
"Junior brother, please go back to the Jinge Sect. Your master has not been in good health in these years, and we all need you to come back." Guan Liang said.
"Okay," he said.
