Chapter 577 Wedding
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then counted with his fingers.
Zhao Si was not affected by external objects, and if he was affected by others, he would know it immediately. It is a common and extremely dangerous disaster that all monks will encounter.
Heart demon tribulation.
There are two tribulations for ordinary people to practice, one is inner demons, and the other is heavenly tribulations. Everyone in the world is afraid of the former, and it is the latter who often kills the most.
Inner demons are invisible, they hit the heart directly, and cannot be resisted through magical powers.
And Zhao Si is no exception. With his character, there is a high probability that he will fall into the inner demon tribulation, or in other words, he will definitely.
"Why?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then the voice sounded a little tired, as if drunk.
"I'm tired. I want to get married. I don't plan to be a monk anymore. She has been waiting for me for twenty years. Although I said that I gave her various pills from the company to keep her young and beautiful, she told me that she doesn't want to be young and beautiful. , After waiting for me for so many years, we may not be able to see each other or even send a message in two months."
“She said either get married and live a happy life, or break up. Career and love, damn, I didn’t expect that the TV series didn’t lie. This **** situation happened to me.”
It is a very old-fashioned and reasonable answer. If others would think that Zhao Si is hysterical, compared with a mortal and spiritual practice, most people would choose the latter, and Zhao Si is still rated as a representative of outstanding monks in the country.
If you continue to practice, you will definitely become rich and powerful in the future.
If we know more about Zhao Si's background, we can basically confirm that he will be one of the top leaders of the power of the monks in China in the future. There are thousands of capable people in the world, but only a handful of them are related to immortals.
Even before Zhao Si has grown up, he has actually received invitations and commitments from all parties, and some sects are willing to elect him as their sect leader.
Giving up practice is essentially equivalent to giving up the opportunity to reach the top.
But Li Yi is not surprised. Many times, practice and family cannot have both. Zhao Si treats relationships similarly to himself.
They are all sentimental species.
And Zhao Si has a family and a fiancée, and these people are mortals and cannot practice Buddhism. Li Yi could easily extend their lifespan, but it only increased their lifespan a little, and there was no way for them to cross the boundary between monks and mortals.
Monks often stay in seclusion for several months at a time, which is nothing compared to the long life of a monk, but for humans, a few months is too long. Especially for couples, this is no less than a long-distance relationship, and it lasts for more than ten years.
Zhao Si entered spiritual practice under his own guidance at the age of 28, and is now 38 years old nearly 10 years later. In other words, his fiancée spent the best years of his life for him.
Li Yi asked: "So you plan to give up practicing? Give your younger siblings a home?"
Zhao Si said: "Yes, I am building a foundation now, so I should still be able to have children."
“Just give up?” Li Yi asked again. "After 10 years of hard work, we are only one step away from the golden elixir, even the Yuanying from afar, and even the transformation into a god. You should know that most people often only have one opportunity to succeed in their practice. This opportunity may be In a few years, it may be possible to enter cultivation earlier.”
“The thirty-year-old Jin Dan was a peerless genius in his previous life. This is also a gift given by the times to you pioneers. If you stick to it now, the Nascent Soul Stage is a sure thing.”
The government often misjudges the power of reincarnated people. The biggest mistake is to use local geniuses to measure the strong men who have already reached the top. When you reach the level of becoming a god, talent is important, but it is more about your own understanding.
A truly strong person needs to go through hardships. What he needs is the right time, right place, right people, and the right people, which cannot be mass-produced.
But there is one thing that the government is not wrong about.
That is, those who are able to practice now are basically geniuses among geniuses. And due to the passage of time, the great road was revealed, and everyone's practice speed was very fast.
You must know that in his previous life, Dong Yunshu was a 25-year-old Jindan who was called a genius rarely seen in ten thousand years and eventually became a peerless swordsman. Now after reincarnation, she is expected to be a Holy King, and she will be the top one.
Zhao Si is only 5 years old, which does not mean that the two have similar talents. But this era is very suitable for spiritual practice. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
…”
The other end of the phone fell into silence again.
Zhao Si’s entanglement and pain seem to emanate from electromagnetic waves.
This is a lifespan of thousands of years, the power to move mountains and reclaim seas. Nascent Soul is not the most powerful person, but he is still a **** to mortals.
Li Yi asked again: "Is it worth it for a woman?"
“I will continue to help you in the future, but I am not omnipotent and can only help you reach Nascent Soul. What you want to throw away now may be an opportunity to enter the Tao.”
These words were like a sharp bayonet, piercing deeply into Zhao Si's heart, and they were like releasing the inner demon of desire.
And this is the disaster that Zhao Si needs to face.
Li Yi knew that doing so would make Zhao Si even more entangled and painful, but some things must be put on the bright side and must be made clear.
Otherwise it would be "Zhao Si sacrificed himself for his fiancée. He should have become a great monk, and he should have lived such a wonderful life. However, for the daily necessities of life, and for you, I sacrificed myself."
Once Zhao Si feels the slightest regret for today's behavior, his Taoist heart will also be severely damaged. Even if Li Yi finally used the magic elixir to let Zhao Si practice again, it would be difficult to make up for the damage caused by this inner demon.
The two sides were silent for a while. Li Yi was not in a hurry and was very patient with Zhao Si.
Wei Xi came over with a plate of spiritual fruits. Feeling something was wrong in the atmosphere, he walked lightly to Li Yi's side.
Did not ask out loud, just silently skinned and fed the other party. Her movements were gentle, and she had long lost the murderous aura she had on the battlefield, just like an ordinary virtuous wife.
But now the scene between the two of them is sparse and normal, but they have gone through many tribulations.
The boundary between monks and mortals cannot be crossed even with the utmost human power.
Once Wei Xi broke through the seclusion, and there was no Jiazi in the mountains. Decades passed in an instant. When he returned to Qingshui, even his father's grave was dilapidated, and Li Changsheng had already left, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Then the boundless vastness of the practice world made the two of them only meet once in the end.
Zhao Si couldn't face Li Changsheng's disaster, and Li Yi wouldn't let him be so helpless. But there is one thing that he cannot cross, and it is difficult for mortals to stay.
No matter how many miraculous medicines you have, they are not worth a mere mortal.
Without practice, even Li Yi can only rely on the fruits of the old tree spirit to let his parents enjoy a thousand years of happiness. And he only has this plan and will not make meaningless efforts.
"I…"
Zhao Si slowly made the first sound, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "It's worth it."
The two words seemed to consume all his energy.
“It’s just that I’m sorry to Brother Yi. After all, he gave me so much help. Now I’m giving up the burden. I...”
“Just follow your heart, when will you get married?”
“Will you come next month?”
“I’ll definitely come, I promised to be your best man before.”
Li Yi smiled from the bottom of his heart, and then the two of them chatted sparsely and normally as before, and the content was like a pair of brothers who have been together for many years.
The two chatted for a long time. Zhao Si seemed to be relieved and gradually recovered, not as lifeless as before.
The phone hangs up.
Wei Xi finally asked: "Xiao Si, is he really going to give up?"
"Should be." Li Yi sighed slightly and said, "He looks very smooth, but in fact he is very accepting of death and attaches great importance to love and justice."
Wei Xi pursed her lips and said, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have paid my husband's medical expenses for seven or eight years. Ordinary people's relationships usually fade away after a few years of no contact, let alone a living dead lying on the bed."
“It’s just that it’s hard for Xiaosi to become a god...”
The most precious thing in this era is the great road and the peace created by your husband. Especially in China, this prosperous age will create countless powerful people in the future.
Zhao Si has talent and resources, but he plans to miss the best time and wait for a mortal.
How many years will this be?
At least two hundred years, because this is the limit that mortals can increase their life span.
“Husband, do you plan to extend the life of Xiaosi’s family?”
Li Yi replied: "If Xiaosi needs it, I won't be stingy. It will most likely take him 300 years."
“You don’t need to comfort me, I’ve seen this kind of thing too many times.”
Li Yi pinched Wei Xi's white face and said: "Actually, this is also Zhao Si's opportunity. If he can fully realize it, his practice will be smooth sailing in the future. If he keeps putting it off, even if he practices to Nascent Soul in these 300 years, he may not be able to reach the Nascent Soul. It's just a hurdle between life and death." "I have seen too many people like me, so the sect will want the disciples in the sect to cut off the mortal world. If you use a mean method, it is like you were taken away back then, or if you use a more euphemistic method, you will be raised in the sect since childhood. . What a lovely person, after all, you are a person who is confused by your emotions for your whole life. This is a shackle, but it is also the road to heaven."
“If you haven’t experienced the mortal world, how can you say anything about it?”
Li Yi doesn’t think this is a bad thing, nor does he think emotions are a burden.
This is something that people are born with. Cultivation is not a castration of the self, but a kind of perfection of the self.
Learn to accept yourself in order to achieve perfection.
“Qiong Yu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little clear spirit in a floral skirt appeared out of thin air and said in a clear voice: "Senior Immortal is here."
Li Yi said: "Go to the warehouse to get some life-prolonging elixirs, which can be taken by mortals. And inform other people in the family not to retreat next month."
“Okay.”
————————
Qingzhou, company headquarters.
Lu Haochu looked at the resignation letter on the table and looked at Zhao Si helplessly and a little angry.
"Are you out of your mind? Are good monks going to get married instead of doing what they do? Even if you get married, you won't be unable to practice. If you, a representative of the country's outstanding monks, resign from my service, the superiors will have to kill me."
Zhao Si quit, which means that the company has lost the connection line of immortality.
This is the kind of network that countless people in the world dream of. Zhao Si is at the national level, sometimes even more powerful than the national level.
Especially now that major towns and countries are living in seclusion, many people have withdrawn from the stage and no longer hold power openly. As far as Lu Haochu knew, the place of seclusion was hundreds of kilometers away from him.
In this case, Zhao Si is needed even more.
But this man suddenly said he quit and wanted to go back and get married.
Zhao Si made it clear about the cause and effect a month ago and asked to resign many times, but he was persuaded to stop him.
Now it seems that I can no longer persuade him.
Zhao Si said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lao Lu, I really want to give Xiaoling a family instead of leaving her a widow. You also know that we only meet a few times a year."
"But..." Lu Haochu wanted to say something more, but he understood the other person's temperament and could only sigh deeply.
He has met Zhao Si’s fiancée, a pretty girl who is inferior in every aspect to the rich lady Zhao Si met in the training class.
How can such an ordinary woman be compared to a spiritual practice with a bright future?
If it were Li Lili, he could understand it. She was a goddess from the immortal sect, but Sun Ling was just an ordinary person.
“It’s up to you, I can’t stop you. But you really don’t plan to stay in the company? I can arrange a casual position for you.”
"No." Zhao Si shook his head: "I don't want to occupy the latrine and not shit, and I'm afraid that I'll see you unable to resist practicing again. I plan to just practice casually on weekdays."
"Fine."
Lu Haochu reluctantly signed his name and approved the other party's resignation.
This will probably be scolded by the superiors later, but compared to the superiors, maintaining the relationship with Zhao Si is obviously more important.
Even if he didn’t consider the stakes, he had to help this friend.
"Thanks."
Zhao Si took his resignation letter and left, leaving only a carefree figure behind. Countless company officials saw him off along the way.
As if he was going to die.
For the monks, Zhao Si's departure is no less than death. The so-called casual thoughts about practicing practice in daily life are just delusions. Practice is like sailing against the current, and it is impossible to get through it easily.
Returning to mortal life means ending the path of spiritual practice.
Lu Haochu stood by the window and watched, Zhao Si drove away from the company, looked away, turned to ask the secretary: "How was Sun Ling's investigation?"
The secretary shook his head and said: "We have investigated all her relationships in the past 10 years and found no signs of cheating, or even having an affair with others online."
“It’s a pity, she is a good woman.”
Lu Haochu was disappointed but also felt a little lucky.
The company has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate, and there is basically no error. Zhao Si only met her a few times a year, and spent most of the rest of his time busy with official duties and spiritual practice. It would be reasonable if Sun Ling cheated on her.
After all, company operators have to introduce relevant legal protections due to the high probability of being cheated. Generally speaking, those who had a partner before practicing spiritual practice will be persuaded to leave, and the other partner will be invited to drink tea and warned by the relevant departments.
With the combined efforts of the two parties, the probability of breakup is as high as 95%.
In fact, when encountering this kind of situation, there is a high probability that the relevant departments have investigated the situation, and in order to prevent the monks from having problems with their Taoism, they take preemptive measures.
Unexpectedly, the company could not find any dirty information about Sun Ling.
On the other side, Zhao Si returned home and his fiancée had prepared meals.
The atmosphere is slightly silent.
Sun Ling suddenly said: "You'd better not resign. All I said before were angry words."
Zhao Si smiled and said: "I have already resigned, how can I regret it? Besides, since I have promised you, I will do it."
“I’m getting married next month, and we’ll send invitations to relatives and friends tomorrow.”
——————
One month later, it will be an auspicious day for marriage.
Li Yimin and his family left Hanshui in a stretched black car. This was the first time Li Yimin left home again in 10 years.
Although it did not cause any commotion, the impact it brought has already swept the entire China. Countless wealthy families strictly restrain their children, and all immortal sects warn their disciples to cause trouble.
At the same time, the streets of the city can become extremely clean, many cases that have been backlogged for many years are quickly resolved, the rule of law is clear, and the world is prosperous.
Li Yi sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the car window and looking at the high-rise buildings outside.
Years ago, Yucheng was still a small city, but now it has become one of the leading metropolises.
Father Li, who was over fifty years old, was driving the car and said with emotion: "More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiaosi finally got married."
He glanced at Li Yi and wanted to take the opportunity to teach this turtle son. Can he learn from Zhao Si?
But considering the wives in the car, I could only hold it in my heart.
After so many years, Li’s father actually accepted it.
“So when will you retire?” Li Yi asked.
"What about retirement? Your father and I are in our prime, and our careers are booming." Li's father rolled his eyes at Li Yi and said, "If our family had property back then, we wouldn't have borrowed here and there."
“Don’t forget, Xiaosi has been very kind to our family.”
"I know."
“And Bai Shi.” Father Li glanced through the rearview mirror and saw a frail woman sitting next to Mother Li.
The other party was chewing an apple, and when he heard someone calling him, he quickly put it down and sat down, very cautiously.
"Whenever, give it to Bai Shi..." Li's father stopped mid-sentence.
Isn't this like him encouraging his son to step into the fourth boat?
The Zhao family's residence was filled with gongs and drums, lanterns and colorful lights, and various important people coming and going.
