Chapter 457: Snow on the Cangshan Mountain, Bright Light in the South
As soon as Yuan Ying opened her mouth, Mingnan and the other two couldn't help but sit up straight, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Yuan You and He Yunfei looked at Mingnan together.
With six eyes staring at him, Mingnan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
She pursed her lips and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Yuan Ying asked: "What?"
Mingnan said seriously: "I want to become stronger."
Yuan Ying didn't comment, just raised her eyebrows.
She just went on talking to herself.
"Before I was in the sect, I thought my cultivation speed was pretty fast and my cultivation was pretty good, but after leaving the sect, I realized how vast the world is and how limited human power is."
"Mortals all want to cultivate immortality and seek the truth, thinking that once they become a cultivator they will have nothing to fear."
"But after becoming a monk, you will find that monks are not omnipotent, because there are always people who are stronger than us. In the face of natural disasters, man-made disasters, and beast tides, monks are no different from ants."
Mingnan still feels scared when he thinks of the scene on the day of the beast tide.
"Therefore, only by constantly seeking upward and improving one's own cultivation can one, like Master, save more people when disaster strikes."
Her eyes were as bright and hot as fire, burning with aroused fighting spirit.
Yuan Ying saw this and felt relieved, but she still kept a word in her mouth and said, "It's worth my trip if you can realize this. I hope you are not just talking this time."
Mingnan proved his determination with practical actions this time.
After eating and drinking to restore their spirits and physical strength, they did not alarm the people in the city. They only informed the city lord and prepared to leave quietly.
But the city lord refused to let them go no matter what, and sent someone to pass the message to the people.
So when Mingnan and the others left the city, all the people in Ancheng came out.
They stood on the city walls and shouted their names.
Mingnan looked back suddenly, and saw that the city walls and the city gates were full of people.
They looked at them with smiles or tears in their eyes, gratitude and reluctance in their eyes.
The city lord shouted: "Best regards, benefactor, and have a safe journey!"
"Goodbye, benefactor! Have a safe journey!"
The people knelt down in their direction.
The shouts were deafening and enlightening.
Mingnan's heart was pounding and his nose felt sore from the impact of their strong and sincere feelings.
It also made her more determined in her previous thoughts——
I am not afraid of death, I just want to have a clear conscience.
He Yunfei and Yuan You were also quite touched, but Yuan Ying's expression remained indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Mingnan suddenly turned around and saw it. He was confused but didn't ask.
She waved to the people and said loudly, "Everyone go back and live a good life. Before the beast tide comes next year, everyone should save up some money and go out to hide first, and come back after the beast tide is over. If possible, I will come to see you again, but if not, forget it."
The people wanted to send them some things, but Yuan Ying took them away on his sword, leaving the people with a handsome back.
The long sword pierced through the clouds and rode the wind.
Mingnan looked back and saw the mottled and dilapidated city walls of Ancheng gradually moving away until they disappeared.
She still felt a little lost.
Retracting his gaze, Mingnan's previous doubts came to his mind again. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, why don't you have any expression? Is it because you ate too much pepper and it's numb?"
Yuan Ying: “…”
He glared at her helplessly, "You're the only one who talks too much."
Mingnan shrugged, "I just care about Master. You are so angry... Oh, right!"
Her eyes lit up, and she took out a fresh red fruit from her storage ring, wiped it, and handed it to him, "Here, this is a kind of fruit that my brothers and sisters and I discovered before. It's delicious. This is specially saved for you by your disciple. Master, please try it!"
Yuan Ying was stunned for a moment, then his expression eased a little, "You are filial."
He took it and tasted it, and it tasted really good.
When you are in a good mood, you talk more.
He sat cross-legged on the sword, looking at the vast sea of clouds in front of him, his voice distant and gentle.
"You are still young, so you are easily moved by the emotions of this world, but I am already old, I have seen everything, I have experienced everything, I have seen countless more intense joys and sorrows than this."
Yuan Ying was also touched as she spoke, and sighed, "Who wasn't soft-hearted when they were young? When I was your age, I passed by and saw a dying dog, and I couldn't help but feel sad. But there is a limit to how many tears a person can shed in his life. Once they have dried up, they will no longer flow."
Mingnan was stunned and seemed to be thinking about something.
……
They were gone for a month, and after they came back, Yuan Ying reported the beast tide in Ancheng to the sect leader. He also found it a bit strange and planned to take people to investigate.
Mingnan was unable to intervene in the rest of the matters at her level, so she went back to seclusion.
This confinement lasted for three months.
When she came out, the leaves all over the mountains had turned yellow. Looking around, it was a golden scene that was dazzling.
Mingnan quietly climbed up to the Wangxing Tower alone, watching the rolling sea of clouds and listening to the whistling wind.
The whole person entered a mysterious state.
At the same time, 205 was reconnecting for the st time.
In fact, it has become accustomed to this state of disconnection, or to be more precise, it has become numb.
I tried to connect again and again, but failed again and again. I heard the electronic voice prompt: [Connection failed.]
Without even a ripple in its heart, it mechanically pressed the connect button to reconnect for the 25,552nd time.
It skillfully opened its video library and pulled out a movie that it had watched twenty-seven times, ready to watch it again.
At this moment, it was extremely glad that it had the foresight to download a lot of novels, music and movies before, so that it would not be too bored while waiting.
Otherwise, if Mingnan starts his retreat on a monthly basis, facing the same room all day long, he will really go crazy.
As a result, as soon as the movie icon appeared, it heard a "sizzling" sound of electric current.
It was stunned for a moment, and before it could react, the next moment it heard an electronic voice saying: [Reconnecting… Reconnection lost… Reconnecting…]
205: [? ? ? ]
It turned off the movie in surprise and quickly checked the main system. Could it be broken?
No!
Wouldn't it be stuck here forever? !
205 Just thinking about it makes me feel that my life has come to an end.
It pressed the reconnect button hard, and finally, the crackling sound of the electricity disappeared.
Then the screen lit up and an email popped up.
mail?!
205's non-existent eyes suddenly widened.
[Hard work pays off. Have I finally contacted the headquarters? ]
Main system: [Yes, system 205, we received your feedback]
Main system: [Due to interference from an unknown magnetic field, our message has not been sent out. After careful investigation and repair by the maintenance department, there is still no progress, so we reported the matter to the Lord God. The Lord God personally investigated and used his divine power to set up a separate line for us, so we can get in touch with you. ]
Main System: [Right now, we have a very important question that needs your help. ]
205: [Ah? What's the problem?]
