Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 56: Chapter 55: The Most Regretful Thing
Wang Neng murmured: "This 'earth-centered red lotus' looks..."

"Some people say that it is just like its name. It is a flame lotus formed by the essence of the earth's core. When it is in full bloom, it has a beautiful and dazzling brilliance."

"Some people also say that 'the red lotus in the center of the earth' is a fire that ignited in the field for more than ten miles, and it is as coquettish as a blooming red lotus."

Lu Liang frowned: "Then why do you say it is the phantom of death?"

"Because... I have seen it before, and I have lost the most cherished person." Wang Neng looked back, and there was a trace of sadness in his words.

"Uh..." Excuse me, Lu Liang thought in his heart, showing some embarrassment on his face, and at the same time carefully apologized: "I'm sorry, I made you think of something sad..."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Neng waved his hand, showing reminiscence on his face, as if he remembered that day when the fire was so bright that the girl he loved left him forever in front of his eyes.

It has become an eternal regret that I have not expressed my deep love in my heart.

With a sigh, Wang Neng also lay down on the ground, lying side by side with Lu Liang. He closed his eyes and said, "...It happened many years ago. If you want to hear it, I will tell you."

Lu Liang turned his head to look at Wang Neng's face that had undergone many vicissitudes in an instant. Under the golden red light of the setting sun, half of his face was covered with shadows. The light gilded his figure with a golden edge, and the blue stubble on his mouth could be faintly seen.

"En." Lu Liang replied softly, the voice was so soft that he didn't know if he would be heard by the other party.

"That was almost 15 years ago..."

Apparently Wang Neng heard that very soft answer, and he started to narrate again.

"At that time, I was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and I was still a casual cultivator. I hadn't started to practice alchemy, but my luck was pretty good. At least I didn't encounter any bumps in the road of cultivation. At that time, I thought, it would be good if I stayed like this for the rest of my life. If you can practice, practice, if you can’t practice, continue to live an ordinary life.”

"Until I met her by accident."

"Do you believe in love at first sight? I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw her for the first time, my original thoughts collapsed in an instant."

"At that moment, I knew clearly that she was the eternal light in my heart."

"I can't tell what kind of intense emotion it was. After that glance, my heart couldn't stop beating, and then I was careful to stay by her side as much as possible."

"She has a younger brother who is an ordinary person, and there is an old mother at home. Her father died young, and the two brothers and sisters were raised by their mother."

"At that time, although her family was not rich enough, they could still have food and clothing. The only problem was that the cost of supporting a monk was not affordable by ordinary people. And she was a monk from such an ordinary family, so she In order to reduce the burden on the family, I often follow some casual repair adventure teams to find work."

"That's when we met."

When he said this, Wang Neng folded his hands behind his head, and it seemed that when he first met, the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth was as bright as the morning sun.

"Hello, do you want to join our team?"

The girl was dressed in common clothes, and there were even traces of mending on some edges and corners, but her mending skills were very superb, and she could deceive people's eyes if she didn't look carefully; picture of.

Even commoner clothes look like high-grade clothes.

A face with no makeup and plain face facing the sky, when smiling, the eyes will bend into crescent moons, and there are two shallow dimples on the face, Wang Neng fell into that sweet smile in an instant.

He who didn't intend to join the adventure team originally, unexpectedly agreed to the girl's invitation after being stunned for a while.

By the time he realized it, Wang Neng had gradually begun to integrate into that very warm casual repair adventure team.

"I am free and independent, and my parents are both dead. Naturally, I don't have any worries when I become a casual cultivator. The days in Xiu Adventures' small team are unforgettable moments in my life."

"Everyone cooperates quite tacitly. Even if I just joined the team and I'm relatively unfamiliar with it, they can cooperate with each other almost perfectly without any omissions..."

"Every night when I sleep out, everyone sits around the campfire, and the night wind blows, but it's as warm as home."

"One time we chatted and imagined what we would do and what kind of life we ​​would live when we were able and had enough money, but she walked to the side to blow the cold wind when everyone was talking happily."

"I said hello to my brothers. After getting acquainted with my little thoughts, everyone will naturally know it well. They kept giving me winks and told me to ask me quickly. This way everyone knows what's in their hearts, but she still Without realizing it, I have never had the courage to tell her my feelings."

"I toasted my brothers, walked over with two glasses of wine, sat next to her and handed the wine in front of her. She hesitated for a moment and finally took it, but she didn't have any intention of drinking it. So I went again Take a sip of the wine in my glass to strengthen my courage, and ask her what's wrong."

"She didn't answer for a long time, she just stared blankly at the wine glass she just picked up in her hand, and after a while she started crying."

"I was a little overwhelmed at the time, and almost spilled wine on her body in a hurry; after finally calming down, I stretched out my hand and patted her on the back, trying to comfort her as gently as possible."

You speak very softly now.Hearing this, Lu Liang couldn't help thinking, but seeing that Wang Neng was still talking, he didn't dare to say anything.

"What I didn't expect was that she had been suppressed for too long, so she leaned into my arms and started crying, crying and faltering some words. My heart was beating thumping. My partner for a long time was crying in my arms, and I felt her heart was about to jump into my throat, I carefully identified her words, and found that she was actually homesick."

Wang Neng recalled his complicated mood at that time, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "I lost my family very early on. I have been wandering around for many years, and I have forgotten where my former home is. Maybe it has already become ruins. .”

"So I couldn't understand her mood at the time, and I didn't know what it was like to miss her family. At that moment, I looked at the girl I loved in my arms, but I didn't know how to comfort her at all."

"So, you didn't do anything in the end?" Lu Liang couldn't help but make a sound.

A look of sadness flashed in Wang Neng's eyes, and he said regretfully, "Yes... that's the thing I regret the most. If I had been more courageous at that time and could comfort her well, maybe I wouldn't regret it for the rest of my life. It's..."

"...What happened?" Lu Liang felt that the development of the matter was a bit dangerous.
