C75 Comprehension of dao and change of fate
After reading the first book, Yang Mengqi's spirit was lifted, causing her to be extremely excited. She knew about the Yu Shan Scholar, but she did not know about the life of the Yu Shan Scholar. She did not expect him to be able to become a great scholar in an environment not inferior to mine, how many people in the world could be like him?
"The heavens are against me, I will definitely change the heavens," Yang Mengqi thought. If the heavens did not give me a fair fate, then I would change the heavens.
This was the first volume of « Destiny ». Fight against fate, and do not be manipulated by fate!
She suddenly remembered that in her entire life, she had been sick since the moment she was born, she had no way to change this, because this was fate, the husband had told her that she would not live past ten years, she did not believe that, she would risk her life to train, but had still broken through to Martial Saint, and had already passed ten years ago, so wasn't this fighting against fate?
But now that Yang Mengqi's cultivation had stopped, the illness becoming more and more serious, Yang Mengqi gave up, and followed fate. Since her fate had changed in the first half of his life, why couldn't she do so for the rest of his life?
Fate is my own, not the heavens'. Only if I don't fight against the heavens would I be at the mercy of fate. Why should I follow fate?
Yang Mengqi laughed, she suddenly became enlightened and thought that she had a chance of survival, the prize for the Martial Saint Ranking Competition this time was a Three Lives Life Recovery Pill, wasn't this giving him a chance to change her fate?
"My life doesn't depend on the heavens, it depends on me," Yang Mengqi just now knew why Di Chen wanted to read this book. Although it couldn't directly cure the illness, it could still give her confidence and fighting spirit.
Yang Mengqi suddenly thought back to Di Chen's expression just now, which was completely the opposite of his before. She thought to herself, if Di Chen did not let her see the second volume, could his reaction to it be related to the second volume?
Yang Mengqi thought about it for a while and still decided to flip through the second volume. The second volume held a completely different perspective than the first volume, requiring people not to struggle against fate.
"This …" She thought to herself that Di Chen must have been affected by the effects of the second volume. Fortunately, Yang Mengqi had just finished reading the first volume, and was not affected much by the second volume, so after reading it for a while, she hesitated and flipped to the first volume, reading it again, the negative emotions in his heart immediately decreased. After reading it again, the negative emotions were even less, and by the third time, she had regained her confidence from before.
"This is the power of writing. Being able to motivate a person, it can also destroy a person's will."
Yang Mengqi thought that a scholar would gain strength through comprehending the principles in the book. The more one studied, the more one would be affected, and a scholar like Di Chen who had studied the second book would definitely be affected more by the power than himself. It was normal for the effects to be greater, no wonder he would become depressed, cultivating like this was not good for him.
Yang Mengqi hurriedly found Di Chen, who was sitting on a tree with a dejected look on his face. He did not have a single ounce of fighting spirit, how could this be similar to the Di Chen who dared to speak out and argue for him in front of Wang Wei?
Yang Mengqi sat beside Di Chen, returning the《 Destiny Decree》 back to Di Chen and laughed: "I have finished reading it, and have decided to participate in the competition for the Martial Saint, after all, this is my only chance to cure my illness, I cannot give it up."
Di Chen noticed that the red hue on Yang Mengqi's body had deepened, which meant that she could cure her disease much more smoothly. He smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, your illness can definitely be cured."
Yang Mengqi laughed: "Why are you so sure, is it because my body is releasing a light red light aura?"
Di Chen was startled: "Teacher Yang, you saw the second volume."
Yang Mengqi laughed, "That's right, the Mount Yu Scholar created a method to comprehend a person's fate. If I'm not mistaken, you must have learnt to see a person's fate, it's a pity that I don't have your talent, but you scholars are different, your comprehension ability is much better than us ordinary people."
Di Chen was not surprised that Yang Mengqi did not manage to learn to see a person's fate. Di Chen had also taken a long time to comprehend the second volume, but the price of it was that she was too engrossed in it.
Yang Mengqi leaned on a tree and thought for a while, then said: "The Mount Yu Scholar gave up after half his life, and followed the arrangements of fate. He still went around advising others not to fight against fate, but he is also a genius, even though he was exiled by the imperial government in such a tough environment, and has actually created a way to see a person's fate. I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world like him."
Di Chen thought for a while and said: "He is indeed a powerful person, but even he is unable to escape the control of fate, how can others?"
Yang Mengqi laughed: "Half of his life is spent in becoming an important minister of the imperial court and she is revered by the people. He thinks that he has succeeded, that she has been exiled for the latter half of his life, and he feels that she still cannot resist the hand of fate, but he actually created a method to understand fate. I think that there is not a scholar or a War God capable of doing this, do you think that it is considered a success?"
Di Chen stared blankly at his. Since ancient times, there had never been a person who could see the fate of others. How many people could actually do things that even the War God could not?
He had already changed his life in the first half of his life. If the Yushan Scholar did not become depressed in the second half of his life, would his fate continue to be changed?
There were only two volumes of Heaven's Mandate. The second volume described the miserable life of the Mount Yu Scholar, but it did not say what the end result would be.
Yang Mengqi flipped open the first volume of « Destiny » for Di Chen and said with a smile, "Read the first volume again."
Di Chen still nodded after thinking about it, and started to read the first volume again. Yang Mengqi did not stay behind to disturb Di Chen.
Two hours later.
Di Chen read these words carefully, and his mood seemed to have improved a little. The more he read, the more he felt that the life of the Mount Yu Scholar was actually very interesting.
The second time!
The third time!
Di Chen also did not know how many times he had read it himself. After every time, Di Chen would gain new insights, become a hundred times more spirited and filled with confidence, he closed his book for a long time, took a deep breath, and became much more cheerful. Once again, the negative emotions in his heart were completely erased.
Di Chen thought that he was not suitable for cultivation before, and now, he had become a literati. Furthermore, his realm was not weak, isn't this changing his fate?
"My life depends on it from the heavens," Di Chen thought, after hesitating for a while, he flipped to the second volume, got ready, and started to read it carefully.
After an hour, he had finally finished reading the second book. Di Chen was still regretful for the remaining half of Yu Shan's life, but this time, he was not affected much.
"The Teacher Yang is right, even though the Mount Yu Scholar is exiled from the imperial court, he still thinks that his life is miserable, but he actually created a way to observe his own life. In my opinion, this is much better than those Mysterious God grade cultivation techniques, he is much stronger than those War God s, how can this be called changing his life?"
Di Chen thought that the Mount Yu Scholar was just not aware of it, and the book had disappeared after the second volume was completed. He wondered about his fate later on, who knew if he had changed his fate?
"I am a scholar, and a scholar has to understand principles from books. Different people have different opinions on Yu Shan and the scholar's book, but you must not be influenced by it, otherwise it will be very easy to become a demon."
Di Chen thought about his previous dejected state and wanted to curse at himself. This book only expressed the author's views, how could he be affected by it?
Reading to understand one's mind, reading to comprehend the Dao, and not being affected by such perverted logic. How could he allow himself to be completely followed in his footsteps when the Mount Yushan Scholar had his own path?
Who said that his black halo would lead to a miserable ending?
When a man lives, he will fight with the heavens, fight with the earth, fight with people. My life is controlled by the heavens, I fight with the heavens!
Whoosh!
It was at this moment that a strange power surged into Di Chen's body. Di Chen could only feel that the power of the scholar in his body had doubled, and he had actually reached the seventh level of the Scholar Realm.
"I actually improved so much?" Earlier, Di Chen was on the verge of breaking through the Scholar's six stages, but now that Di Chen had broken through two small realms, the power of the scholar in his body had increased by more than a little.
He then took out the copper mirror and looked at himself again. He was still covered in a black halo, and his fate had not changed, but Di Chen did not care at all, thinking that today, he had learnt to look at a person's fate, if word of this spread, how many people would be envious and amazed, who could look at the fate of others in this world?
"In the future, if I have the chance, it would be best to investigate the ending of this Yu Shan Scholar."
Di Chen thought, but < Destiny > was a forbidden book, and the Yu Shan Scholar was a traitor.
"It's already so late?" Di Chen looked at the sky, then carried the book back to the courtyard.
Seeing Di Chen's calm face, Yang Mengqi thought that she had understood it, and laughed: "Are you not depressed anymore?"
Di Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Teacher Yang, I lost face just now."
Yang Mengqi laughed: This Yu Shan Scholar is a great scholar, you are a scholar, it is normal that you will be affected by him. Don't be like this in the future, the principles in the books might not all be true, in the end, it is still the words of the family. Whether it is the warriors or the literati, they all have their own paths to walk on.
The literati comprehended the dao, but he could not be affected by the dao of others. The literati was much harder to cultivate than the martial artists, but there was one thing that was the same, if one wanted to become a god, he or she had to find his or her own path of cultivation.
Di Chen bowed to Yang Mengqi, and thought that luckily he came to Yang Mengqi's place to train, if it was another teacher, he would not be able to understand the situation.
Yang Mengqi laughed, "Let's change our lives together in the future."
Di Chen nodded twice. He did not notice that Yuan Tong was looking at him with hostility from afar.
