Master and senior brother left the next day, leaving me alone in the other courtyard. The days are passing by, and although every day is very fulfilling, I still can't help but miss them in my heart.
In the early morning of this day, the sun shone through the window into the room, illuminating the mottled light and shadow all over the place. I stretched, then got up and walked to the yard, ready to continue practicing the breathing method.
According to my past habits, I adjusted my breathing rhythm, put myself into an ethereal state, and began to feel the energy of the world around me. However, no matter how hard I tried to feel it, my body never felt that warm feeling before. It was as if my body had turned into a cold stone, unable to resonate with the outside world.
I frowned, filled with doubts. Why is this time so different? Is it because I haven’t practiced enough? Or are there other reasons for this?
I tried again unwillingly, guiding the energy of heaven and earth into my body again and again. But every time it was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no response. I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong with me?" I muttered to myself, full of confusion. This question bothered me and made me think deeply.
Is it true that I can no longer practice? When I practiced before, I felt as relaxed as drinking cold water. Why is this the case now? Or was there something wrong with me? Anyway, I can’t figure it out.
At this time, three young men came outside the courtyard. Is Lin Yi here? Junior Brother Lin, are you in there?
When you hear it yourself, isn’t this the apprentice of the second uncle? Be still, be still, be still. His own subordinates were defeated.
He immediately came outside and said, "Senior brothers are here, come in and sit down quickly," and said calmly, "No need, Junior Brother Lin, we heard Master say, you are back, so come here to see you. Listen to Master, Have you lost all your cultivation? Senior brothers, please come over and see if it is true?
I knew that these people came with bad intentions, but I said calmly, yes, these senior brothers and junior brothers are indeed gone.
At this moment, Jingxin, Jing'an and Jingning were heard laughing. One of them said: "Junior brother Lin, weren't you very powerful before? Why are you like this now? This time you have learned what the most painful realization is when you go down the mountain! I call you crazy!"
said After that, these three people ran towards me. Jing'an and Jingning quickly picked me up, while Jingxin walked in front of me. Without saying a word, he gave me two loud slaps in the face, and while slapping me, he cursed: "If your master and your senior brother weren't here, we wouldn't dare to come here! However, they are all gone, and we don't dare to come here." Do you know if you can come back alive..."
When Lin Yi heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but start to worry about his master. His eyes widened and he looked at what was happening in front of him with horror on his face.Everything happened, and I secretly prayed in my heart that Master would be safe. At this moment, the three men suddenly surrounded him and beat and kicked him. But at this time, Lin Yi could no longer care about the severe pain coming from his body. He only had one thought in his mind: Could the master and his brothers encounter any danger because of him when they go out this time?
After a period of time, the three people finally got tired of the beating. They stood aside panting, watching triumphantly as Lin Yi fell to the ground. Lin Yi's body was bruised and bruised, but his eyes remained firm. At this moment, he did not cry or beg for mercy, but gritted his teeth and tried to get up from the ground. Although his whole body was shaking, he still stubbornly straightened his back and glared at the three people who bullied him.
"Why are you staring?" A person said fiercely, with a triumphant smile on his face. His eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction after succeeding, as if he was full of contempt and disdain for the man in front of him who was beaten black and blue. The other two people also echoed: "That's right, what are you staring at? Do you think you can scare us like this?" There was ridicule and contempt in their tone, as if they thought the other party was just a pitiful ant, unable to resist them at all. of bullying.
"Remember, we will come to you every few days to make you feel like being bullied. You owe us this!" The leader threatened viciously. He said, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. Then, the three of them threw the injured person to the ground with all their strength, then turned and left the courtyard.
As they drifted away, only the scarred and painful figure was left lying on the cold ground. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and his heart was full of resentment and unwillingness. However, facing these three bullies, he was powerless and could only silently endure endless torture and humiliation.
I just said that five years ago, during the Kunlun Trial, when disciples of the same level competed with each other, I defeated the three of them by myself. I didn’t expect that the three of them would hold grudges so deeply. These three people are narrow-minded people, so they naturally regard him as a thorn in their side.
"It's true that a tiger has been bullied by a dog. The down-and-out phoenix is worse than a chicken!" Lin Yi thought helplessly in his heart.
I dusted myself off, got up and dragged my injured body, reluctantly returned to the house, and lay on the bed. Maybe it was because they beat me too hard, or I was too tired these days, I don’t know. I fell asleep unconsciously.
He had a dream. He dreamed that he had become a generation of immortals, standing on the top of the pinnacle, looking down on all living beings. However, this dream was soon broken by reality. When he woke up, he found that he was still lying on the old bed, with pain all over his body.
"I must make those people pay the price!" Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said.
At this moment, I vaguely heard someone calling me?
"Young man, are you so willing to be bullied?" The voice came again, carryingWith a hint of confusion.
"You have lost your cultivation, don't you want to recover?"
"Don't you want to be strong? Don't you want to be the best at the top?"
"Come to the back mountain! Come to me! Rescue me from here! I will repay you!"
"As long as you let me out, I can restore your strength. It can also help you cleanse your meridians and re-inject your blood energy!"
"Come to the back mountain... Come to the back mountain..."
Damn it, did you show up on your own? Hallucination? I was still stunned. I was listening but couldn't hear anything. I must have been hallucinating.
I dragged my tired body up, went to the master's pharmacy, found some medicine for bruises, applied it on the bruised areas on my body, and ate a simple meal.

After eating, I walked slowly to the yard. At this moment, night had already fallen, and the sky was shrouded in darkness without a trace of light. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't feel the presence of the energy of heaven and earth, but I didn't want to just sit idle. Since you can’t practice cultivation, let’s exercise in a modern way! So, I decided to try push-ups.
I followed the standard posture of modern people and did fifty push-ups in each group. However, after barely finishing two sets of one hundred reps, I felt exhausted and unable to continue, so I just fell down on the ground. Although my body was very weak, my spirit was extremely exciting. This is the first time I have worked out so hard, and I believe that as long as I stick to it, it will be effective. Thinking of this, I plucked up the courage again and prepared to challenge the next set of push-ups.
Just like this, one group does push-ups. When they are tired, they sit down and rest for a while. After resting for a while, they continue to do push-ups. Finally, when they have no strength at all, they return to the house to sleep. .
In the early morning, the sky had just turned fish belly white, and Lin Yi couldn't wait to get out of bed. He quickly put on his sports equipment, carried a heavy 20 kilogram sandbag on his back, and embarked on the journey to the mountain of Bieyuan. This habit has been going on for a while, but it gets him so excited every time.
Lin Yi knows that he cannot relax at all, because only through continuous efforts can he improve his strength. He must persist in doing things that are beneficial to his own cultivation. Every step was full of determination and perseverance, and he told himself: "I must persevere!"
The mountain road in the courtyard was rugged, but this was the challenge Lin Yi needed. He walked steadily through the trails in the mountains and forests, feeling the fresh air and the warmth of the morning sun. Every breath is a kind of enjoyment, every sweat is a kind of proof.
When Lin Yi reached the top of the mountain, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. He stood there, overlooking the entire courtyard, his heart filled with longing for the future. Then, without hesitation, he descended the mountain and continued running.
In this way, Lin Yi traveled up and down the mountain, challenging his limits over and over again. His body gradually adjusted to the burden, and his mind became more determined. He knew that as long as he persisted, he would be able to achieve his goals.
As time goes by, Lin Yi's physical fitness has improved significantly. His muscles are stronger and his stamina has increased significantly. These changes comforted him and inspired him to keep going.
On this morning, Lin Yi used his actions to explain what persistence means. He knows that success will not come overnight, but as long as he maintains a positive attitude and puts in enough effort, one day he will be able to practice again.
Lin Yi was confused, who are these people? Jingxin pointed at him and said triumphantly: "Jingyi, Jingtian, watch and see how senior brother teaches Lin Yi a lesson!"
Lin Yi understood, it turned out that these people were Jingxin and them, They had never come to trouble him before, thinking they were scared, but they didn't expect to come now. It seems that today he will inevitably be beaten again.
Lin Yi looked at Jingxin and the others, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. The smile was like a knife, stabbing straight at Jingxin et al. When Jingxin saw Lin Yi's expression, he suddenly felt angry and jealous. He pointed at Lin Yi and cursed: "Lin Yi, you loser, how dare you laugh at us? Today I will let you see how powerful I am. !" With that said, Jing'an was about to take action. His fists fell like raindrops, each punch carrying a fierce momentum, as if he was going to completely defeat Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was calm and said calmly: "Jingxin, are you sure you want to fight me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell my master and senior brother?" When Jingxin heard this, his face changed. He changed, but then returned to his arrogant look. He sneered: "Lin Yi, don't scare me. Your master and senior brother have already gone out. Do you think I will be afraid? Let me tell you, I must have a good time today." I'll deal with you!"
Lin Yi sighed and shook his head helplessly. He knew that Jingxin and the others would not give up. He could only protect his important parts with his hands and endure the punches and kicks of the other party. Yi and Jingtian were still cheering from the side, as if looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
I looked at these laughing faces coldly, as if looking at a group of wild beasts. Their laughter seemed to be mocking my weakness and helplessness. I stood quietly, watching their performance, filled with despair.
When they got tired, Jing'an and Jingning came over and beat me again. Their fists rained down on me, and each punch seemed to tear me apart. I felt that my body was getting weaker and weaker under their attacks, and my consciousness was gradually blurring.
Finally, I was knocked unconscious. I fell to the ground, surrounded by darkness. I don’t know how long I’ve been knocked unconscious, and I don’t know when the five people left. There is only endless darkness in my mindand pain.
This time, I was even more seriously injured and lay in bed for five days. Only when I couldn't bear it anymore, I reluctantly went to the ground and ate some rice. The rest of the time, I lay in bed. Every night, I Everyone will hear someone calling themselves.
On the sixth day, Lin Yi endured the pain and got out of bed. He knew that if he continued to lie down like this, he might not be able to stand up. He trudged to the kitchen, found some food, and filled his stomach haphazardly. Then he returned to bed and continued to recover from his injuries.
At night, when Lin Yi heard that voice again
Young man, don’t you want to become stronger? Look at yourself, beaten like a lost dog by others, do you want to continue like this? Poor man, you are too weak. Only I can make you strong. Come to the back mountain to find me and let me out. Lin Yi remembered his master's warning and would not let him go to the back mountain.
He quickly covered his ears and didn't listen to the sound. He absolutely couldn't go. If the other party was a demon, if he were released, all life in the world would be devastated. He loosened his covering of his ears, and there was no sound this time. He fell into a daze.
It took me more than half a month to recover from the injury, and then I repeated the daily exercises, push-ups, and running with weights. More than a month passed like this?
During this period of meditation, Jingan, Jingning did not come to trouble him again, and his life was very quiet. Although Lin Yi himself has lost his cultivation level, his skin has become a lot darker through this period of training. The body is also much stronger.
Lin Yi felt the energy of heaven and earth again that night and practiced the art of breathing in and out. Damn it, he failed again. Can he really never practice again?
Lin Yi sat cross-legged in the courtyard, eyes closed, adjusting his breathing, trying to feel the energy of the world around him. He was calm, trying to get rid of distracting thoughts and focus on his breathing.
As time passed, Lin Yi gradually felt a faint breath, but it was fleeting. He was anxious and wanted to capture this breath by force, but found that the more he forced it, the more elusive the breath became.
Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. "Damn it, failed again..." Lin Yi murmured in a low voice, "Is it true that I can no longer practice?" This question kept echoing in his heart, making him feel confused and lost.
However, Lin Yi did not give up easily. He took a deep breath, readjusted his mentality, and told himself that failure was only temporary. He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will be able to find a breakthrough in cultivation.
In the night sky, the stars twinkled, as if they were also silently encouraging Lin Yi. He opened his eyes, stared at the stars, and secretly vowed to overcome the predicament in front of him.
