Chapter 43: Like a brave climbing a high mountain

On the bank of the Tianhan River, Shen Fang's gaze follows the undulating water.
Qingqing asked softly, "Uncle Shen, why do you want to avoid another person?"
During the battle between Shen Fang and Kongxiang just now, she was nearby. After giving birth to the species, she went through a transformative process like a mother's nine-month pregnancy.
After childbirth, most of the changes in women are negative, but there are also a few who undergo a transformation in their vitality and physique surpassing their previous state.
Lian Qingqing's transformation, however, is a positive one.
最明显的改变在于她的灵觉。
何况都是借道之人，她和空相、年轻太监可以说同出一源。
故而她能清晰感应到年轻太监的靠近。

In her spiritual perception, it was a cluster of energy resembling a bright moon, pure and radiant, but not piercing.
The young eunuch's strength surpasses that of emptiness by a lot.
But compared to Shen Shu, who possesses the Feixing Sword and ancient Qin Dao, he falls a bit short.

Uncle Shen can do it once and for all.
Shen Fang's voice revealed a rare trace of exhaustion. "A normal person is often most tired right after eating because they need to use energy to digest the food. I just obtained the Zen staff and I need time and energy to digest it. I am weak right now."
He openly admitted his weakness at this moment, but it is like the tide of a river, rising and falling, which is the natural order. Even when the tide recedes, human effort cannot truly fill the river, just like a dam. If the flood is not released, it will only be broken by the next major water surge.
沈放更是悟到盛衰是自然本来之理。
有高有低，才会犹如弹簧一般，使他的人生充满张力。
大旱时，江河干涸，水不是凭空消失，而是成了水汽，这里少了，那里便多了。
Cannot profit for long!
Therefore, when Shen Fang calmly admitted his current weakness, Qingqing felt an incomparable strength.
Like white snow covering the trees in the mountains, giving it a white crown.
She knows it's not the end; when spring comes, the green mountains will become more lush and vibrant.
"To follow nature, is this the way to longevity?" Ling Qingqing realized the importance of following nature.
She lost the guqin, but seemed to gain more.
The Taoist sect may leave, but the experience of forming the Taoist sect still exists, becoming more profound with her understanding.
Actually, the greatest gain for the Taoist disciple is not the Taoist sect itself, but the experience of forming the Taoist sect.
The first cultivation cannot be perfect, but with the experience of the first time, the cultivation of the next time will naturally be more refined.
However, to achieve cultivation, both inspiration and enlightenment are required, which seems elusive and ethereal.
No one is willing to bear the risk of starting over without reason.
But if one can start over, the cultivated path will surely be more stable and more in line with oneself. Because the original path does not belong to them, like a business, the original shares always belong to others, and they can take away the industry that the bosses have worked hard to build at any time.
It is obviously much easier for Qingqing to give up the show than for Kongxiang to do the same.
Because her efforts are not too much.
The person who really devotes the most to the Guqin is her master.
And now her master is almost as tall as her tombstone grass.
The qi of Shen Fang surges with the river, passing through water plants and shoals of fish, and arrives at Jian Chen. The qi of the two resonates with each other.
The Zen staff in Shen Fang's hand also carries a lot of demonic aura. In this resonance, it is dissipated by the sound of footsteps rising and falling with the tides.
最后古琴挂在禅杖上，犹如异域的乐器，不是被清风拨弄，发出风铃一般的声音，冥冥而来，悠悠而去。
沈放穿林过野，来到一处神秘的山庄。
This place is not far from the headquarters of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, even close to its core, but it seems that no one outside knows about such a villa.
Shen Fang is visiting this place for the first time after the villa was built.
但山庄的仆人犹如演练过无数次一样，熟练地接应沈放，伺候，沐浴更衣，随即送沈放到了一个机关重重的静室。
怜青青被安置在山庄的小院里。
接下来是等待。
等待月圆之夜。
…
…
年轻太监在空相身旁，空相的手按住了了尘的手，了尘只觉得师父干瘪阴冷的身体传出一道道暖流，浑身轻飘飘的，仿佛要乘风而去。
他知道这是师父放弃了转世轮回的机会，将自己残余的精气神都注入他的体内。
这是一个人对另一个人全身心的奉先。
从此之后，他可以说是空相的延续，亦可以说是全新的了尘。
人本来就不会永远是过去的自己。
每过几年，人的身体血肉都会重新换过一遍。
For these monks, it is not a big secret in itself.
First-rate warriors also understand this.
One could say that Chen has obtained an extremely rare adventure.
He does not feel joy, only sorrow, but also a sense of relief. This is teacher's choice.
Even if there is another life, Master is no longer just a empty appearance.
"In this lifetime, I do not seek the next."
Lechen held onto the monk's robe left by the empty appearance, and the words of Master's final moments echoed in his ears.
His eyes were a little moist, and if the master didn't enter the monastery, he would definitely be much happier.
Some people are born to be kings, while others become bandits.
But some people just enjoy living the life of a bandit.
年轻太监的眼中没有嘲讽，竟有些羡慕，“若我父亲当初不为了那五两银子，现在我也有孙子了吧。”
些许的遗憾一闪而过。
断绝了凡俗的天伦之乐，他才会全力冲刺天人之道。
有时候世事的无奈就在于没得选。
“接下来你打算去哪？如果没事，可以月圆之夜来紫禁城，我想那会对你接下来的路有很大的帮助。”
年轻太监对了尘释放出一些善意。
接受空相毕生精气神的了尘，俨然跟他成为同道中人。
他并不把对方当晚辈看。
了尘摇了摇头，“我不想因此彻底失去信心。”
The young eunuch saw him refuse and smiled lightly, "You saying that already makes you appear lacking in confidence."
Liao Chen was not discouraged by this and said calmly, "When facing such a person, it's hard not to lack confidence."
He is very honest about his own weakness.
"Like a brave climber conquering a mountain, you will be the next hero. I really hope that in the future, you will challenge me."
This is a farewell.
