Chapter 167 Fusion
Qi Ran is already in the dream, so it makes sense that Yi Ran would appear...

Fu Qingzhou immediately accepted this setting.

But he had not yet completely recovered from the previous impact, and his expression quickly returned to sadness: "I know why you showed up, but Qi Ran is right."

He stood up slowly and sighed, "In order to protect myself from Qi Ran Jue, I can no longer act from my heart. Many things I do just for the sake of doing them. This is no longer the real me."

"Although the Qi Ran Jue is terrifying, the compassion and mercy are real. If I forcibly abandon these emotions in order to suppress the technique, how can I be called a chivalrous man?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the burning sky: "Maybe I should no longer use you to suppress Qi Ran Jue."

"That's true."

The old Taoist with mixed hair picked his nose and said, "But if you don't suppress her, you have to let her control you? This is not right."

Fu Qingzhou remained silent.

"Hey, it's not your fault."

The old Taoist with mixed hair laughed and said, "You were seriously injured, and unconsciously used all your strength to activate the Qi Ran Jue. That thing is about to burn your brain out. It's not surprising that you are affected, but I have to say one thing - in fact, whether it's Qi Ran or Yi Ran, we are just two kinds of skills, of course we don't have self-awareness, do you know this?"

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

With his intelligence, he naturally reacted immediately: "Are you saying that you are all just reflections of my inner self?"

"Yes~"

The old Taoist with mixed hair said in a long voice: "In plain words, we are the angel and devil in your heart. Do you understand?"

Fu Qingzhou forced a smile.

He sat down cross-legged again and stared at Zamao Laodao: "So? What do you want to tell me so that I can change my mind?"

"explain?"

The old Taoist priest smiled with a fake smile: "Do you think I am a good talker?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Then..."

"Master Dao, I'm here to give you an earful!"

The old Taoist with messy hair suddenly shouted loudly, his figure flashed, and he slapped over fiercely!

Fu Qingzhou was startled, but when he realized that the other party was attacking him, the slap had already landed on his face.

Can’t hide…

Snapped!
With a loud and crisp sound, he flew out like a top and started spinning in the air.

The old Taoist with messy hair laughed loudly, but did not stop. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Fu Qingzhou again and kicked him hard with a whip!

"A knight should take revenge with pleasure!"

He laughed and said, "Good and evil are determined by the heart, why should we be so cautious?!"

The kick hit his waist so hard that even in his dream, Fu Qingzhou felt that his waist was about to break. He screamed and flew out, rolling heavily onto the sea.

But when he slowly stood up, his mind actually became clearer.

"yes……"

The sadness in Fu Qingzhou's eyes faded a little: "Investigating a case requires careful consideration; seeking revenge requires careful consideration; killing someone requires weighing the pros and cons... Now I am not even as good as the young man who just left Bailu Mountain."

He lowered his head, and the sea beneath his feet began to turn green, diluting the blood-red bit by bit.

"You are practicing martial arts!"

As he lowered his head, the old Taoist priest appeared behind him and shouted, "It's not the technique that's training you!"

While shouting, he grabbed Fu Qingzhou's neck and belt and lifted him up high!
"I have never forced you to do what I want!"

He cursed, "You are a chivalrous man, but can't you have any compassion? This is bullshit!" With a crisp sound, he slammed Fu Qingzhou's back heavily onto his knees!
Fu Qingzhou screamed and rolled to the ground, but the green waves under his feet became more and more.

"I rely on..."

He was more sober than before, half-sitting up, holding his waist and cursing, "Are you going to kill me?"

"Nonsense, Qi Ran Jue has occupied all the meridians in your body!"

The old Taoist priest blew his beard and glared: "Do you think that the Yi Ran Jue can penetrate the meridians as easily as treating someone to a meal?"

After saying that, he threw another punch!
So in real life, it would be painful when the meridians are pierced, and in the dream it just means being beaten up?
Fu Qingzhou was prepared this time and subconsciously raised his hand to block, but the power of the punch was so great that he couldn't block it at all. In a blink of an eye, he was punched and flew several feet away.

But this time when he got up again, the blue waves were not just spreading under his feet.

The entire sky, the entire ocean, and every corner began to gradually return to their previous clarity and blueness.

His mind gradually became clearer, and many of his thoughts that had been stuck in a rut just now gradually became clear after being beaten.

Fu Qingzhou slowly stood up and looked at the sky and the sea again.

"I think I should take some time to find out what Long Dabei went through back then."

He suddenly realized something and whispered, "I'm always afraid of being manipulated by Qi Ran Jue, but I've actually understood the truth a long time ago - the best way to overcome fear is to face it."

Hearing him say this, Zamao Laodao finally showed a look of relief, nodded and said: "You have some understanding."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and said, "You said you don't know how to reason, but you're actually quite good at it."

"Hahahaha, in fact, all of this is just what you think in your heart."

The old Taoist priest laughed loudly and said, "Then why don't you consider convincing her as well?"

He pointed to the sky, where the blood-red glow was the most intense.

Fu Qingzhou rubbed the painful parts of his body, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"Qi Ran... I know you can hear me."

He said slowly: "I also know that you want to occupy me and control me. I don't blame you. This is your instinct."

"In the past, I was afraid of you and hoped to suppress you with Yi Ran Jue. This was definitely wrong."

“No matter how beautifully you explain many truths, it is better to do them first. Although I say that I can use Qi Ran Jue as a sharp knife, I have never dared to use it. In the final analysis, I am still a coward and timid person.”

"But from now on, I won't be afraid anymore, and I won't suppress you anymore!"

Fu Qingzhou's eyes were bright, and he said loudly to the sky: "I, Fu Qingzhou, want to see, if I stick to my original intention, what can turn me into a monster?"

"Long Dabei once said that if I had seen the true ugliness of this world, I would be like him...but I don't believe it!"

"I want to see what he has been through, to taste what kind of ugliness he has experienced. I believe that even if this world is full of mud, there will always be people who are untainted by it!"

His voice echoed between the sky and the sea, buzzing like a huge bell.

"Qi Ran!"

Fu Qingzhou's eyes had never been so clear, and his voice had not been so loud for a long time: "You don't have to try to control me anymore. I will savor the pity and the pain. If I can no longer stick to my original intention, then..."

"My mind is yours to take!"

The old Taoist priest with messy hair looked up to the sky and laughed, then gradually disappeared into thin air.

In the sky and in the ocean, the flames and the blue waves were no longer clearly separated, but began to merge.

The entire dream world seemed to have turned into a scene at dusk and sunset, except that the light was even more golden and brilliant.

At some point, thick fog rose up in this space and rolled towards Fu Qingzhou, submerging him.
