Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 1302 Karma and Retribution

Zhao He smiled bitterly, feeling a touch of regret in his heart.

Jiao Gu said lightly, "It's not too late to make amends. It's not too late for you to realize your mistake now."

Zhao He was slightly stunned, is it not too late?

Why did she feel that there was no chance of redress?

But while she was deep in thought, Zhaojiacun had already appeared in the distance.

Jiao Gu reminded, "Zhaojia Village is coming soon. Let's go to the village to understand the situation first."

"Yes."

Zhao He calmed down, speeded up the escape speed, and approached this Zhaojia Village, which seemed strange to her.

The approach of the strange monk quickly aroused the vigilance of the villagers.

An old man at the golden elixir stage stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao He.

"Senior, please stay. This Zhaojia Village is under the jurisdiction of the Corpse Refining Sect. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please do not approach our Zhaojia Village."

Zhao He paused slightly and glanced at the old man, "Uncle Heng, it's me."

Zhao Heng looked at the person in front of him carefully and was surprised when he recognized the person.

"Zhao He, is it you? We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and you have actually reached the Nascent Soul realm?"

Zhao He nodded slightly, "I came back this time for my parents. Is the village chief here?"

Zhao Heng understood that the incident of Zhao He's parents sacrificing their lives to take care of an orphan had aroused a lot of attention in the village.

Now that Zhao He has become a Nascent Soul monk, it is natural for him to want to replace his parents' bones.

Unfortunately, she came back too late.

"The village chief died while away from home more than a hundred years ago. His daughter is now the village chief of Zhaojia Village."

"Falled?"

Zhao He's expression changed slightly, feeling unexpected but natural.

A few hundred years is neither long nor short, and is enough time for many things to happen.

Zhao Heng opened and closed his lips and kept saying something. Zhao He felt a buzzing in his ears and could not hear anything clearly.

Seeing her dejected look, Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and comforted her.

"Things in the world are unpredictable. Although the two bronze corpses were made from the bodies of your parents after they died, this matter was done voluntarily by the couple. Don't feel too guilty.

If your parents Jiuquanxia learn that you have become a Nascent Soul cultivator, they will definitely be happy for you. "

Zhao He reluctantly twitched his lips, but couldn't laugh.

"Uncle Heng, do you know where the village chief died?"

"More than 160 years ago, he went to Yaoguang Beach alone in search of a breakthrough."

Zhao Heng shook his head, "I only know that he died in Yaoguang Beach. I don't know where he died. Maybe you can ask the current village chief Zhao Xuening."

"Thank you, Uncle Heng."

Zhao He calmed down, thanked Zhao Heng, and followed his instructions to find Zhao Xuening.

Knowing Zhao He's intention, Zhao Xuening sneered twice and looked her up and down.

"It turns out it's you. In fact, my father has been waiting for you before he went to Yaoguangtan. It's a pity that you haven't returned yet. He really can't afford to wait any longer."

Zhao He was a little moved, "Old village chief, does he know that I will come back to him?"

As soon as he asked this question, Zhao He knew that his question was unnecessary.

As long as there is conscience and ability, who would have the heart to let the corpses of his biological parents be refined into bronze corpses for people to control?

Zhao Xuening glanced at her with disdain, "Your parents sacrificed their lives to support an orphan and raised a Nascent Soul cultivator. But you, a superior Nascent Soul cultivator, probably never cared about the two of them, right? Otherwise, in hundreds of years , why have you never returned to Zhaojiacun?"

"I... it's my fault."

Zhao He felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart. She was too cowardly to escape from all this.

She looked at Zhao Xuening pleadingly, "Can you tell me where the old village chief went in Yaoguang Beach? I... I want to find his whereabouts and collect the bones of my parents."

Zhao Xuening sneered, "It's been more than a hundred years, do you think you can still find it?

In the past few hundred years, you have refused to even return to Zhaojiacun, so why are you pretending in front of me and threatening to go to Yaoguangtan? "

Zhao He knew that the chance was slim, but the growing guilt in her heart forced her to do something.

She looked at Zhao Xuening and her words became more sincere.

"Even if I can't find it, I still want to try. If I find the old village chief's body, I will bring it back and give it to you."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuening's expression finally softened a little.

"If you have some conscience, don't forget that my father took care of you. My father told you before he left that there are many dangers in Yaoguang Beach, so I am not allowed to enter.

But since you have Nascent Soul cultivation, it doesn't hurt to take a trip. It's been so long, and I won't blame you if I really can't find my father's bones. "

After leaving Zhaojiacun, Zhao He hurried to Yaoguangtan.

On the way to Yaoguangtan, her heart and eyes were full of regret.

"I really should have gone back to the village earlier."

Jiaogu asked, "Are you no longer afraid and unable to face this matter?"

Zhao He smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "So what if I find it difficult to face?

This is something I have to face. Avoiding it will only make things worse and even irreparable. "

At this point, Zhao He was slightly stunned. She found that her state of mind had quietly changed without even realizing it.

As if he guessed what she was thinking, Jiao Gu said lightly, "No doubt, your xinxing has indeed improved a bit.

However, facing fear is only the first step in tempering your mind. What you need to do next is to accept everything at the moment calmly and accept yourself. "

"Accept the moment?"

Zhao He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "All the faults are mine, how can I face it calmly?"

Jiao Gu explained, "It's the reason why your parents sacrificed their lives to escape from being orphans, and it's the result that you feel guilty because of your parents' kindness.

In the years since your parents were turned into bronze corpses, you have never had a moment of peace in your heart. This is the result of karma. "

"Karma and Karma?"

Zhao He read it again and asked with a vague understanding, "You mean, I have already received retribution?"

"You can understand that."

Zhao He was a little relieved. She had been deliberately forgetting this incident over the years, but her deliberate forgetting made this incident a lingering demon, constantly tormenting her.

It turned out that she had already received retribution.

Zhao He felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't fully accept herself.

"The road to spiritual practice is long, and mistakes are inevitable. Even sages make mistakes, let alone us? What we have to do is to avoid making the same mistakes twice."

"Not too bad."

Under Jiao Gu's guidance, Zhao He's mood calmed down strangely.

Yes, no one can make mistakes without being a sage. She has already been punished and will try her best to make up for the mistakes she made. Why should she be grudged and hard on herself?

Seeing that Zhao He had figured it out, Jiao Gu stopped making any sound and quietly accompanied her to Yaoguang Beach.
