Chapter 81: Hard Work
"The vines that are about to strangle people, the darkness like hell, those things that look like bones and blood, the evil monster with green face and fangs, the raging fire...are they all testing me?" Yan Moying was puzzled.
"Haha, yes! Isn't it great? You also see the rainbow gate, blue sky, sunshine, green grass... isn't it comfortable too..." the old man said with a smile.
"I don't understand what those evil monsters are testing on me? And those disgusting things in the darkness..." Yan Moying asked.
The old man became serious and asked Yan Moying: "Do you think you walked out of the real dark road with your own legs?"
Yan Moying thought for a moment and said, "It seems...it seems that I was already lying under the tree when I woke up."
"Haha, that's right! Everything in the darkness is an illusion, it didn't really exist. At that time, the darkness you felt, the bone-like things you touched, the smells you smelled, all the scenes you saw and all the sounds you heard were all illusions. You used your profound energy and some of your own characteristics to overcome all that, so through those tests I can be sure that you are the one who can save the future of Jingyin Country. That dark place where evil monsters are rampant is the place to test whether your profound energy is enough to compete with the strong demonic energy. Even if your profound energy is enough to resist the demonic energy, it won't work if you don't have enough courage. Your courage is also one of the factors that help you get out of the dark illusion. In fact, the way you walked is... Many situations encountered along the way were a test for you. You were able to quickly think of putting soft metal powder on the vine to free yourself. You were able to quickly realize that the fatal point of defeating the last evil demon was not the evil demon itself, but the shadow of the evil demon in the fire... Your wisdom is enough to deal with these dangers. You always care about the people of Jingyin Country in your heart, which shows me your kindness and righteousness. When you encounter various dangers, you still dare to rush forward, which proves that you have courage, perseverance, and a firm will. I won’t go into details about the other things. In short, on the one hand, you do exude a mysterious energy that ordinary people don’t have. On the other hand, you have wisdom, benevolence, and courage, but you have more than just these three aspects. Haha... There is hope for the future of Jingyin Country!"
After listening to the old man's narration, Yan Moying suddenly realized and said, "Senior, you really flatter me. It turns out that you have such good intentions. I was unhappy when I didn't know the inside story before. It's really wrong."
"It's normal to feel unhappy when you don't know the truth! Generally speaking, when people encounter such situations, they will guess that someone wants to harm them. Originally, I was looking for hope with the mentality of saving the future of Jingyin Country, but I found that all this looked like a trap. No one would be happy if they encountered such incredible dangers without knowing the truth." The old man understood Yan Moying's feelings very well. He said apologetically: "Some of the things I did before, whether it was the early temptation of Kumulin or the later arrangements, although the original intention was not malicious, it was offensive to you after all, please forgive me!"
"Senior, you are too kind. You are taking so much trouble because you are responsible for Jingyin Country. I understand. Besides, now that I know the truth, I will not take those things in the past to heart."
