Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 942: Lu Qibin's Past - Extra : Picking Up Someone
"Li Yang!"

After recording the movement of the stars, Li Yang heard a familiar voice behind him.

It’s Lu Qibin.

“Are you stargazing?”

"Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer?" Li Yang asked back, and then he and Lu Qibin went down the mountain under the bright moonlight.

The two did not live in the same village, but a section of the way down the mountain was convenient for them.

"The teacher said that stargazing is mainly for us to use the light of the stars to practice more conveniently." Lu Qibin actually discovered that Li Yang was studying the trajectory of the stars and wanted to remind her, "You will be scolded by the teacher."

"You're no different than anyone else..."

Li Yang said something incomprehensible.

"What?" Lu Qibin felt a little inferior, and increasingly doubted that he was not worthy of her, and did not dare to express his feelings... He had deliberately chased after her, intending to confess his feelings, but now -

I don't have the courage anymore.

"nothing."

Li Yang shook his head and returned to his usual smile, "Come on, let's go down the mountain together."

After leaving Xingguan Sect, they came to a fork in the road. Li Yang waved goodbye to Lu Qibin. Lu Qibin went east, and Li Yang went west...
···
"Hey~"

Lu Qibin sighed and said to Zhou Qing, "I never thought that after that separation, she and I would go on completely different paths.

It's like two fish in the same river, which should have swum to the sea together, but because of different choices, they entered different tributaries.

In the past, I always thought that Li Yang was better than me because of his martial arts talent.

But it was not until the emergence of the Chihui and those new ideas that I gradually understood that the reason why she was better than me was not her cultivation talent, but——"

Lu Qibin pointed at his brain and sighed, "Wisdom! Thoughts! And a desire for knowledge that can never be extinguished!"

Lu Qibin heard about what happened next from other people in Xingguan Sect...

···
When Li Yang returned to the village, the night had passed and the sun rose from the east, illuminating the east with a red glow. The scene of the morning glow shone behind her.

Such a scene would make even the farmers in the countryside who have seen the rising sun many times unable to help but stop and watch.

only--

Li Yang didn't look back.

She was used to it, and she didn't like the sun either. The light was too bright and would hurt her eyes.

After returning home, her parents, who were farmers, prepared a sumptuous meal for her. The taste of the yellow chestnut rice at home was naturally not as good as the white rice at Xingguan School. Not to mention the dishes, there were only sour cabbage and pickled mustard greens, with almost no oil or water, but Li Yang enjoyed the meal very much.

Because in front of parents, one can be much more relaxed than in Xingguan Sect.

Father Li said, "Yangyang, you are about to officially join the sect, right?"

"Ah."

Li Yang nodded and picked up some pickled cabbage for his brothers and sisters. "When I become a formal disciple of the sect, we can move to the mountain where the sect is located, and the officials will not come to collect taxes.

I was born with full soul power, and the teachers in the school value me very much.

Although my younger brothers and sisters do not have innate soul power, they can help the sect with chores in the future, and the money they earn in a year will be hundreds of times more than farming.

When my soul power is high in the future, and I even become an elder of the sect, I can arrange less strenuous tasks for them, and my parents can stop working and enjoy their old age at home..."

Both Mr. and Mrs. Li were smiling happily, but seeing how Li Yang spoke so clearly, there was a bit more awe in their eyes.

After all, she has become a great soul master.

But Li Yang didn't notice this, but was thinking about another thing: In addition to cultivation, should he really focus all his energy on taking care of his family in the future? After breakfast, the village chief found Li Yang's house and hoped that Li Yang would pick someone up tomorrow.

"Who?"

Li Yang's casual question made the once friendly village chief dare not neglect him, and he hurriedly said: "Smith, after all, he is still a distant relative of your family. You should call him cousin."

"Uncle? Where?"

"The mountain range to the south where the Xingguan Sect is located."

"Isn't that where the prisoners are kept?"

Li Yang was surprised.

There is a prison cell on the south side of the mountain range. It was built by the Xingguan Sect to detain Xingguan Sect disciples who have committed serious crimes.

"Yes." The village chief said, "Last night, the leader of Xingguan Sect came to inform me and asked me to send someone to pick him up. He is also a villager. He joined Xingguan Sect and became a formal disciple. However, he was studying heresy and neglected his cultivation. He even caused a major sensation in the sect..."

Li Yang didn't want to listen any further because she didn't want to know things that she had never heard of in the sect. As a smart person, she knew that it was best not to know things that she shouldn't know.

Only in this way can you live a relaxed life.

but.

But she couldn't sleep that night. As a smart twelve-year-old girl who was still in adolescence, she was always curious about unknown things.

She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Helplessly, she picked up the astrolabe and notes, climbed out the window, and went to the highest hillside nearby.

Look up and gaze at the starry sky.

The brilliant stars in the sky shone in her eyes, calming her restless heart.

but--

"The moon is a little fuller."

Just like she doesn’t like the sun, Li Yang is also not interested in the moon, especially the full moon, whose brightness will interfere with her stargazing process.

But the full moon was there, and she couldn't change it.

Take out the astrolabe, confirm the direction, take out your notebook, and start recording the positions of the stars as they move throughout the day and write them down.

Just looking at the spiral pattern on the notebook, Li Yang grabbed his hair and said helplessly: "Everything in the world should be reasonable and regular.

The sun and the moon rotate around the earth, and their movement trajectories are circular. Logically, the movement trajectories of other stars should also be circular. Why are they so messy?
Is our world really the center of the universe?"

Inexplicably, a doubt arose in Li Yang's heart, but he immediately put it aside and tried to convince himself, saying: "Li Yang, don't think so much!

What does this have to do with you?
Stargazing is just for your own pleasure, a pastime to kill time.

There is no need to worry about such things. Just find the astrological picture that best suits your own cultivation. When you become a big shot in the sect, you can give your family a better life! You can enjoy power and wealth. After several generations of hard work, you can build a huge Li Yang family..."

While talking to himself, Li Yang had many thoughts popping up in his mind -

Why should I take care of my family?

When parents give birth to children, they never consider how to raise them!
Before me, two brothers and one sister had starved to death. If I didn’t have full soul power after awakening my martial soul, would I have starved to death in the Xingguan Sect?

this world--

"what!"

Li Yang yelled and grabbed her hair again, even blaming the village chief, thinking that it was all his fault. Why did he ask her to pick up a prisoner?
It made her unable to calm down anymore!

Silent all night.

On the second day, Li Yang calmed down, informed his parents, brother, and sister, and headed for the mountains on the south side of Xingguan Sect...
