At this time, Yang Le not only messed up his hair, but even his clothes were scratched into strips by him. His body was covered with claw marks. The blood slowly flowed down until it passed through the scratched flesh.

Changed the route slightly.

Xie Yunhou actually just told the truth. The reason why Yang Le reacted so strongly was that on the one hand, the excessive pressure caused his body functions to react against him. On the other hand, the main reason was because he had always been very worried in his heart.

It's clear, it's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

From the stubbornness at the beginning to the madness later to the complete calmness now, it actually didn't take much time in total.

The crazy state just now seemed to have taken away all the strength from his body, and he could only lie down like a puddle of mud without being able to support his body.

The tears on her cheeks dripped down from her ears to the ground. I don't know if the crystal clearness was to wash away the dust that accidentally entered my eyes or to remind me of some sad past.

Because of the energy restriction, no movement could be heard outside. Elaine also knew that Xie Yunhou left her to discuss something important with her father, but she knew best what kind of character Yang Le was.

The little girl was still a little worried when she didn't come out.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Dad! Are you in there?"

"Thank you, grandpa, please open the door!"

No one paid any attention to the hard knocks on the door. Seeing Chen Qi trying to pull her away, Elaine became even more anxious:

"Open the door! Open the door! Don't hide in there and keep silent, I know you are there!"

Chen Qi was a little helpless, but he still held Elian's armpits and picked her up. When she thought that something might really happen to her father, Elian burst into tears and kicked Chen Qi with her calves, pleading.

:

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Uncle Chen, please let me go, you are all bad people! Please let my dad go, wuwuwu~, please let my dad go! Ah~!"

The three people in the room could hear the sounds outside clearly. Yang Le, who was lying on the ground, gasped for air from the beginning and slowly became breathless. Gudber beside him saw this.

He was about to come to the rescue, but Xie Yunhou grabbed his arm.

No one spoke. There was the sound of needles falling inside the house and the tragedy outside. The atmosphere of silence and movement collided with each other.

Yang Le was completely plunged into darkness. The whole world was so quiet. He was surrounded by a dark lake. He sat cross-legged on the water. He had never listened to his heartbeat at such a close distance. It seemed as if everything in the world was harmonious.

He has nothing to do with it anymore.

Time passed by, and he was still motionless on the ground. He could hardly even feel his breathing. Even Xie Yunhou beside him shook his head in disappointment.

"Lao Gu, this is a sign that he is going to pass away! Alas~, there is no hope in this world!" After saying this, the old man casually removed the ban, the locked door opened automatically, and Chen Qi let go of the little girl upon seeing this.

.

Elaine suddenly threw herself on Yang Le, her already hoarse throat still shouting his name:

"Dad! Wake up! I am dad! I am your daughter Elaine! Wake up! Ahem..."

The little girl was heartbroken, and the blood coughed up from her throat was like the most beautiful petals, falling on Yang Le's face. At this moment, there was no hatred in her eyes, only despair. Her father was her only relative in the world, but it was a pity that happiness was

So short.

Elaine, who was a little weak, could not support her body, and slowly

He leaned his head against Yang Le's heart and softly sang the children's song he had just learned. His hoarse voice seemed so melodious.

"I have a good father. He works hard every day and works hard for the family. We all love him..."

"I have a warm home. One day I will grow up and my father will grow old. I will always love you and give you a warm home..."

...

The little girl sang while coughing up blood. She had just learned it and was not very proficient yet. She originally wanted to surprise her father, but she was afraid that if she didn't sing now, she would never have the chance again.

Blood mixed with tears added some color to Yang Le's tattered white short-sleeves. The father and daughter lay quietly on the ground, with no sound except the uncontrollable sobbing.

I didn't expect that it would lead to such a situation. Even Xie Yunhou, a big boss who had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, slumped down on an armchair like a deflated ball. Don't look at what he said before.

, at this moment, he was still in a bit of a dilemma.

His thoughts drifted farther and farther, and Yang Le seemed like a lonely prodigal, wandering around aimlessly. As time went by, his senses became more and more blurred, and even his soul tended to gradually dissipate.

Just when Yang Le was about to disappear from this world, an old Taoist in white robes holding a fly whisk in his hand, standing on a lone boat and drifting with the current, came into his sight.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously. Although they were still a little blurry, he still recognized the person. He couldn't help but murmured:

"Master?"

The silent inner world suddenly became turbulent. I didn't expect to see the person closest to me despite all my thoughts. Although it was probably an illusion, I still felt friendly.

"Is it really you, Master! Am I dreaming? Master, Xiaole misses you so much!..."

The old man in white robe felt very distressed when he saw Yang Le's current state, but there were some things that he needed to face after all. He shook his head helplessly and said to him:

"Xiao Le, let me teach you one more time. From now on, you must be self-aware and act according to your true intention!"

After hearing his master's teachings to him, Yang Le couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The phrase "self-knowledge" seemed to have a deep meaning. Isn't it because he couldn't recognize his own essence from being a superior god to where he is now?

When the old man in white robes, whom Yang Le called his master, saw that he had already entered the path, he continued to say to him:

"Xiao Le, what my teacher is teaching you now is how to be a real person!"

"After all, in fact, there are only two difficult things in life, one is how to deal with others, and the other is how to deal with yourself."

"In the final analysis, this is one thing. The most difficult thing is how to deal with yourself. Because knowing how to deal with yourself, you also know how to deal with others. When dealing with things, you should keep your integrity."

"It is not easy to deal with oneself, because there is an ambiguity in how to deal with oneself. On the one hand, a person must not have no self-respect, no self, and no personality. On the other hand, he must not have arrogance or ego.

Don't let your selfish prejudices dictate you. In short, his self-esteem should not be too small, but it should not be too big. The difficulty lies in adjusting the arrangements to make them just right."

"It's not easy to deal with yourself because it's not easy to understand, just like you can't lift yourself up if you have strength, and you can't see yourself if you have eyes. The authorities are confused, but the onlookers are clear. We are gods to ourselves.

We are born to be authorities rather than spectators. We are limited to the small circle of "I" and cannot look away from "I" to see the world and "I". We do not have the necessary distance for perspective and cannot take the necessary distance for correct observation.

With a calm and objective attitude, we are born to be obsessed and unable to recognize ourselves. We only allow ourselves to be dominated by selfishness, prejudice, vanity, and illusions, which completely confuse our true appearance. We are like silkworms, trapped in a cocoon, and

This cocoon is the illusion that one has misrecognized about oneself. There are very few people who are truly self-aware."

"'Knowing yourself' is easier said than done! In daily self-assessment, the truth is always one's right, the article is always one's good, and the character is always one's high. Small advantages are magnified, and big weaknesses are shrunk.

Extremely small.”

"People often follow what they like, and there is nothing they like more than themselves. If we think highly of ourselves, and if others don't think so highly of us, our self-esteem will suffer a big blow, and we will have deep hatred and hatred in our hearts. This problem will affect others.

, we immediately see that within ourselves, we turn a blind eye.”

"Xiao Le, from now on you will no longer be a legendary god. I hope you must remember that God is also a human being, and humans can also become gods. No matter what your identity will be in the future, you must recognize your true heart.

That’s what you should do!”

...

Every time the old man in white robe said something, a lotus flower emitting holy light would appear in the surrounding pool. Yang Le could only remember the master's words for a moment, and he still needed to figure out the truth.

I saw Yang Le replying in a confused manner:

"Disciple has learned!"

Then he got on the boat at the feet of the old man.

Suddenly a white streak fell from the sky, piercing the darkness like a sharp sword. As the boat slowly moved, Yang Le's entire inner world was filled with light, and the old man in white gradually followed suit.

Fusion, slowly disappeared.

The long-lost warmth made Yang Le stretch out uncontrollably. He was still a little reluctant to leave his master, but he also knew very well in his heart that there is no such thing as a feast that never ends.

Elaine's singing was repeated over and over again, and finally reached the depths of Yang Le's heart. The sad emotions gradually passed. Although he was only a spiritual body now, he still couldn't help but slap himself twice and commit suicide.

He said to himself:

"I really deserve to be a father! Yang Le, you are really nothing!"

Elaine, who was desperate, was suddenly surprised to hear her father's heartbeat. Before she could open her eyes, she felt a warm hand caressing the back of her head, and a gentle voice reached her ears.

"Daughter, I'm sorry, dad almost broke his promise again, but please believe me, this is the last time!"

Although Yang Le looked a little weak when he opened his eyes, the little girl who ignored him jumped into his arms with a "wow" sound. Listening to his daughter's calls, the former great god finally made up his mind.

cheer up.
