Excessive ferocity due to caution

Suddenly, the butterfly on Zhao Yi's shoulder flew up.

They flew back to the immortal mountain.

Zhao Yi followed the butterfly to the immortal mountain and came to the side of the boy sitting cross-legged by the Heavenly Water Pool.

Grass has already grown on the boy's body.

He remained calm.

Silence.

Following the example of a young boy, Zhao Yi sat cross-legged by the Tianshui Pool.

His gaze fell upon the still, undisturbed pool water.

Below was a chaotic mess, unlike other bodies of water that could reflect one's own image.

Zhao Yi stared for a long time, and his heart gradually calmed down, like the surface of water.

It was a state of near-absolute silence.

In this state, Zhao could now clearly see his reflection in the pool below.

He looked into the eyes of his reflection beneath the water, and a pure power pierced through the surface, passing between their gazes.

Unlike the sacred teachings in the Analects, the power of "Free and Easy Wandering" is more primitive and ancient, and its teachings to Zhao Yi are more natural and unintentional.

Like a rain shower or a gust of wind, it's fleeting.

Some people can comprehend the great principles by standing in the wind and rain, while others can only hide in a sorry state.

This kind of teaching is devoid of subjective emotion.

Heaven and earth are impartial; the way of nature is impartial.

As Zhao Yi immersed himself in this gentle yet indifferent state, something indescribable began to appear in his mental world.

Colorless, formless, and without appearance.

Zhao Yi pondered for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses from this state of enlightenment.

In the instant he came to his senses, he forgot everything he had just realized.

On a whim, he once again entered the path behind the red lacquered wooden door.

The scars on his hands completely disappeared, and his entire body became blurry.

Zhao Yi once again reached out his hand into the eerie darkness outside.

This time, the pain in my hand was much less, almost negligible.

Zhao Yi could sense just how anxious those things in the darkness were that were trying to harm him.

When they realize they can't be effectively harmed, they scratch their heads and jump around like monkeys in the dark, extremely anxious.

Zhao Yi seemed to sense something, looking at the lantern in his hand.

Both the Analects and the Free and Easy Wandering are powerful tools for dealing with evil thoughts in the world.

However, the former has a greater influence and a purifying effect.

The Free and Unfettered Wanderer, on the other hand, focuses more on his own strength.

No matter how evil the outside world may cause, it will not affect me.

Carrying his faint lantern, he continued forward toward where the evil thoughts were growing stronger.

Before long, the light from the lantern could no longer cover itself.

In the darkness, countless black hands reached out towards Zhao Yi.

Sharp, bloody, cold...

But he didn't mind.

Having arrived here, he sought the trial that had allowed him to comprehend the Dao at the Heavenly Water Pool.

He had injuries on his body.

It's very shallow.

It's almost negligible.

Although the light from the lantern could no longer completely protect Zhao Yi, it could still weaken some of the power of the demons and monsters in the darkness.

The power provided by these two techniques enabled Zhao Yi to persevere and reach the first stop on this road.

Ahead, the darkness receded, revealing a large gray area.

There is a large black stone monument in the center.

The stone tablet was dilapidated and had been uprooted and thrown aside.

Zhao Yi stepped forward and took a closer look.

The inscription on the stone tablet reads:

Yongzhen (damaged)

A powerful force was still entangled above, causing Zhao to feel a chill run down his spine.

Clearly, this stone tablet once suppressed an extremely terrifying being.

But for some reason, it was opened.

Zhao Yi's gaze shifted downwards.

There appear to be words carved below, but the handwriting is very messy.

Zhao Yi looked at it carefully again and again, feeling that the handwriting was very familiar.

"Em..."

"Isn't this my handwriting?"

He remained silent for a short while.

Good guy.

Have I walked this road before?

Or……

Zhao Yi squatted down and stroked the black stone tablet with his palm.

The small print above made him feel slightly ashamed.

【Suppress you*】

Die, sir!

Although it's only six characters long, it's not hard to see that the original personality must have smashed the monument and dragged out and killed the thing being suppressed underneath.

Was I always this short-tempered?

Zhao Yi stroked his chin and coughed lightly twice.

He stood up, intending to continue walking into the mist behind the stone tablet, but immediately pulled back after taking a step.

Zhao Yi's expression was solemn.

In that shrouded darkness of mist... there lies a great terror he cannot reach!

"Your cultivation is still far from complete..."

"It seems this is the best we can do for now."

Having made it this far, Zhao Yi had gained quite a bit.

After entering the red lacquered wooden door, his strength would increase significantly with each step he took, and he would become more proficient in using the ominous aura that could corrode all things in the world!

Of course, more importantly, Zhao Yi received a very important message—

That is exactly as Ouyang Feng said, the red lacquered wooden door is not only related to red clothes, but also the path that is being taken now is one that he himself has walked before.

Combining the three primary color questions that the main personality left for him, Zhao Yi gradually made connections to some things.

But he wasn't sure.

Perhaps the only way to verify my guess about my original personality is to reach the end of the path of evil.

...

imperial capital.

The headlines are filled with the words "entertainment company".

It's incredibly popular.

The reason is simple: today is Zhao Yi's last day participating in the chairman's film promotion.

All the answers will be revealed today.

Whether this madman, whom everyone in the capital beats up, lives or dies depends on today!

Previously, the Lü family had been frantically promoting their family, keeping the topic in the top three of the list. After brewing for so many days, it was finally detonated. Countless residents of the capital rushed in, eager to witness Zhao Yi, this wicked demon, being annihilated in the movie!

Lu Mingbing, the head of the Lu family, sat in his ancestral home, watching the sensational headline on the screen, a strange smile appearing on his face.

He personally selected the movie for Zhao Yi, because he didn't believe Zhao Yi could survive.

This publicity campaign was a great success.

As soon as news of Zhao Yi's death spreads, the Lü family's reputation will soar to a level that no other family can match in a short period of time!

This will greatly help the Lü family in recruiting "fresh blood" from the capital afterwards!

Time ticked by, and with only ten minutes remaining, the results of the film's promotion to chairman of the entertainment company would be officially announced.

All the other actors who didn't die will also return.

Unlike Zhao Yi, who could leave through the back door after the mission, they were all confined to the white platform.

They left together after everyone finished filming the movie.

At the Qin family home, Qin Zheng, who was coughing violently, stared at the projection screen, his heart also becoming tense.

Everything he did, every gamble he took... was based on the premise that Zhao Yi could survive.

If Zhao Yi really dies in this movie, he and the Qin family will be in an extremely awkward and difficult situation!

At a crucial moment, a phone call came into his cell phone.

Qin Zheng looked at the person who had been called.

—Xu Shengzhi.

PS: Third update.

There are still four more watches to go.
