Chapter 678 – Lenticular Butterfly
An Zheng thought that Da Jiba was a swindler, but after talking to the disciples for a while at dinner, he realized that Da Jiba didn’t take any of their money. An Zheng did not understand, a man like Da Jiba was nothing at all, at most, it was just Sumeru Stage, and An Zheng could get rid of it in the blink of an eye. He did not seek for money. What was he going to do with a group of children with weak talents who had already surpassed the best time to start their cultivation?
Communication with these young people would not yield anything, all of them felt that Da Jiba was a big shot in the martial world, one that could call the wind and summon the rain. An Zheng also could not bear to see the illusion in their hearts shattered, so he did not ask further.
After dinner, An Zheng stood alone in the courtyard staring at the moon in a daze. He had drank a bit too much, walked out unsteadily and patted An Zheng on the shoulder.
An Zheng laughed.
Da Jiba is someone who is familiar with others, after eating a meal, he almost became brothers with you. He stood by An Zheng’s side, and after a moment of silence, said: “Daoist leader, I can see that you’re also someone with a story, or else why would you hide here by yourself?”
An Zheng shook his head.
Da Jiba gave him a thumbs up, “Usually, only experts do that, my friend, your cultivation must be very strong.”
An Zheng: “There are tens of thousands of cultivators in this world, my cultivation, is nothing.”
Da Jiba did not mind, he turned around and looked at the disciples who had fallen asleep, hesitated for a moment, and said: “Dao leader, I know you are an expert, a true expert, a great cultivator. So, I have to thank you today. You didn’t expose my lies … Not only do I have to thank you, but I also have to thank you for the children. ”
“Hmm?”
An Zheng glanced at Da Jiba.
Da Jiba laughed bitterly: “Actually, they are all pitiful people … They all wanted to cultivate and become true cultivators. However, the heavens were so unfair. They were given the chance to cultivate their physiques, but they were truly the worst. You know what? Those who cannot cultivate are not the most pitiful ones, they are. ”
“If you knew from the beginning that you cannot cultivate, then forget it, there is nothing to think about. The children of large families were still okay, as long as they were willing to spend money, they could get cultivators to help them build their foundations. “If you have enough money, you can use it to make a living. You can use pills, top quality spirit stones, or treasures from heaven and earth to slowly improve your physique.”
“But they can’t do it, they are all victims …”
Da Jiba was quiet for a moment, then turned and took a bottle of wine to continue drinking, “When I found them, they had almost tortured themselves to death. See that little girl? Her name was Lenticular Butterfly, and her family wasn’t particularly rich, but he was one of the top few in the town. The family valued their sons and daughters, and the children they gave birth to were either drowned or raised. The reason why the Lenticular Butterfly did not drown is because she possessed the potential to cultivate. ”
“Her father found a teacher for her, hoping that he could cultivate an extraordinary cultivator. However, with her talent, she wouldn’t be able to succeed. Her father’s small amount of money was not enough to buy a good spirit stone. Therefore, the person he invited was also a scammer. The child has been delayed. Of course, even if he hadn’t been delayed, it wouldn’t have been that good … “But her dad can’t do it, he’s always beating her up and scolding her, saying that your father spent so much money on you, but you didn’t even learn a f * cking thing!”
“You say this is a child’s fault?”
Da Jiba took a gulp of wine. “I know very well how hard it is for these children to work. They have all been placed high hopes on, but they simply do not have the ability to truly change anything. However, their pressure was too great. I’ve seen children who have killed themselves. ”
“My brother...”
Da Jiba’s eyes reddened a little, “My younger brother had put himself to death, and he felt that he had let father and mother down. I was born with the ability to cultivate. Although it’s not much, I can at least endure till now with the Sumeru Stage. But he can’t do it, he’s very weak … So he was in pain. I wanted to make him happy all day, take him to play, and hope that he would come out of that self-reproach. “But I still failed …”
Da Jiba drank all the wine in the wine pot in one breath, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and laughed bitterly: “Why are you saying all this … So I left home, searching all over the world for those struggling children, hoping to save them. But I had no choice but to lie to them. I hope that I can bring them on a tour around the world, find a place to live in seclusion, and tell them the truth when they get older and understand my painstaking efforts. ”
An Zheng said: “They will hate you.”
Da Jiba’s words moved An Zheng.
He had thought that Da Jiba was a swindler, and the most detestable one at that. The reason why An Zheng left them back then, was to see how despicable Da Jiba actually was. If he was really only a swindler, then An Zheng might not allow him to leave here alive.
An Zheng could tell that Da Jiba was not lying. He was the head of the Ming Fa Si, he had seen too many people, very few could deceive him. Even a thousand strong cultivator like Zhong Jiuge could not hide in front of him.
“Yeah, they would hate me.”
Da Jiba said: “So I plan to stay here. I hope that I can change them and let them see it for themselves. They had worked hard to live, and their happiest childhood had gone by in a flash. They had not even enjoyed a single bit of happiness. If possible, I hope that they can look away. ”
An Zheng: “It’s easier said than done.”
Da Jiba shrugged his shoulders. “At least I succeeded by half.”
He smiled craftily, “Take them away from that repressed home … Don’t even mention it, I feel that I can really turn them into those kind of people with few desires … Don’t look at me. I think I can. The person who brought me along for cultivation once said, he said that Fang Zheng, the head of Ming Fa Si in Da Xi, said … A man of his dreams will succeed. ”
An Zheng sighed, he did not know what to say for a moment.
Da Jiba said: “If I fail, I’ll just let them beat me up and scold me... I’ve already brought him out, that’s all I can do. What if I meet a kind-hearted person who is really willing to help me? ”
He looked at An Zheng. That cunning look was obvious.
An Zheng shook his head. “I can’t help you.”
Da Jiba sighed: “That’s right. “How can you be so lucky? How can you be so lucky?”
He turned around and walked unsteadily back into the house. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at An Zheng with an apologetic smile: “Oh right, Leader, I might not be able to pay that much rent. I’m going to start going down the mountain tomorrow and look for some work. I’ve been traveling all these years just looking for kids like this, and I haven’t made any money. “That fifty taels of silver is my last bet.”
An Zheng casually took out a silver and threw it over: “This can help you.”
Da Jiba caught the banknotes and looked at them before he trembled in fear, “This … It’s too much! ”
An Zheng said: “Fortunately, I’m not lacking in money.”
Da Jiba was so grateful that he did not know what to say. In the end, he kneeled down and kowtowed a few times. An Zheng did not stop him and only watched. He knew that foerson like Da Jiba, if he did not do something, he would be suffocated to death. He was someone who knew how to repay kindness. If he could not repay this favor, what else could he do other than kowtow a few times? That amount of silver was enough for them to live for the rest of their lives in luxury.
Da Jiba: “Dao leader, are you really not willing to speak? Why are you hiding here?”
“I have an enemy I want to kill, but I can’t kill him yet. That’s why I need to meditate foeriod of time.”
Da Jiba made an ‘oh’ sound, “Another avenging kill of the martial arts world ah... Hope, forget it. If I hope that you get your revenge, then another family will be separated. I can’t care about the matters of the martial arts world. It’s already good enough that I can take care of these children. ”
Sighing, he went into the house and slammed the door.
An Zheng shook his head. Da Jiba was a very simple person, I could tell. It was easy for sucerson to live, but not necessarily hard for them. He chose a heavy burden. If he were to endure it, he would be so tired that he would vomit blood.
The reason why An Zheng didn’t want to help those youths change their bodies was because he knew that he couldn’t do it … He didn’t know these young people, but he was sure that … These young people had been worrying about this for a long time. If they suddenly became strong one day, no one knew what they would do next. An Zheng could not guarantee so he did not dare to help others. To An Zheng, taking out tens of high grade spirit stones to help them improve their physique was not impossible, but... At least not now.
Just as An Zheng was about to go back and meditate, that girl with a nice figure stuck her head out of the room and stealthily went around the other person’s room. She carefully walked in front of An Zheng and suddenly kneeled down.
“Immortal Elder, please teach me how to cultivate.”
An Zheng frowned slightly, “What would your master think if you do this?”
“Master?”
The Lenticular Butterfly shook her head: “I actually know that my master is lying to us. He is a good person, but he cannot change us. I didn’t tell anyone that I knew he’d lied to us because those people were so pathetic. But Immortal Elder, I know that I will definitely becomrue cultivator.
She was so young, so delicate, raised her head and looked at An Zheng, and said word by word: “If Immortal elder is willing to accept me as your disciple, I’m willing to do anything, anything!”
An Zheng suddenly wanted to curse.
“Are you ashamed of yourself for doing this?”
An Zheng asked.
The Lenticular Butterfly nodded its head vigorously: “I just want to go back and tell them that I can really do it. As long as you can help me cultivate, I won’t regret anything. ”
“You are not suitable for cultivation.”
An Zheng shook his head: “With a character like yours, even if you could cultivate, you would still end up as a disaster. You can go back now. Even though you are smart, your intelligence is wrong. ”
The Lenticular Butterfly began to kowtow: “Immortal Elder, I beg of you. I know I can do it. I know my own body. If I can’t cultivate well and go back to save my mother, my mother will be beaten to death by him! ”
An Zheng’s heart suddenly shook. “Who?”
“My father!”
When he said these two words, Lenticular Butterfly said it out with gritted teeth.
An Zheng felt his heart clogging up: “Is it because of you?”
The Lenticular Butterfly nodded: “Yes … My mother is not his principal wife, she is only a maid. I was born a girl, so I had a hard life. The best day is when you know I can cultivate. However, because I was unable to become stronger in terms of cultivation, he began to torture my mother again. ”
An Zheng made a sound of acknowledgement, “How do you know that your master is lying to you?”
The Lenticular Butterfly lifted its head as its tears sparkled, “Because my physique can reflect the cultivation realms of others … So I changed my name to Lenticular Butterfly, and I was Mirror. However, I am unable to use this power right now. I can only see what other people’s cultivation level are. ”
An Zheng’s face changed slightly: Mirror?
This is a little scary … Replicating someone else’s cultivation?
