The Book of Maiden Contract

give up? No! Youxiang shook her head, she never gave up the word in her dictionary, and she never gave up on this idea, but the problem now is not whether to give up or not, but that she can't move forward at all.

"When you think that you can't move forward, you already have the idea of ​​giving up, but you don't realize it, or dare not admit it." Lin Luo said with a straight face.

Youxiang was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to refute, but she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth... She had already realized to some extent that her previous self had never been so discouraged, even if she was looked down upon by everyone He never stopped cultivating himself, but what about now?

Sitting here alone crying like a bereaved dog, isn't it just giving up on yourself?

Thinking of this, Youxiang couldn't help but lowered her head in shame.

Lin Luo touched her head and smiled slightly, "Giving up is not something to be ashamed of. Just like people's emotions, there are crying and laughing. If there is persistence, there must be giving up. This is human nature. Even if it is I also had the idea of ​​giving up in the face of desperation several times, of course, I didn’t really want to give up, but just like you now, I think I can’t move forward.”

Hearing this sentence, You Xiang raised her head sharply, her eyes full of expectation, "Then how did Master move forward?"

"Persevere!" Lin Luo spat out two words solemnly, and said, "Take my Black Flame as an example, after more than a dozen deaths, my heart was gradually covered by despair. With each death, It made me feel almost numb, thinking that I couldn't get this power at all, but at that time I had no way out, and there was only a dead end if I didn't move forward, so I continued to persevere... At that time, I never thought that I could persevere More than 1,700 times, I only know that if I didn’t persist at that time, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

While speaking, Lin Luo patted Youxiang on the shoulder, stood up and said to her: "In a person's life, there will be countless setbacks, and various obstacles will make the road ahead full of thorns, and sometimes it will make you It’s so painful that we can’t move an inch, and we feel hopeless, but are we really willing to give up here?”

"I don't want to!" You Xiang shook her head fiercely.

"Yes, I just don't want to! We can admit our powerlessness and weakness in the face of setbacks and difficulties, because it is not shameful, because weakness is also our nature, but we must never bow our heads in the face of setbacks and difficulties, let alone stop. Footsteps, because... we are still alive, we must move forward!"

"You must move forward to live..." Listening to Lin Luo's words, Youxiang's eyes widened. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, she was inspired by this sentence, yes, As long as you are alive, nothing can stop you from growing.

At this moment, Youxiang felt that her heart was much more relaxed, and she finally understood that the reason why Lin Luo came here was obviously not a night tour.

Standing under the moonlight, looking at the tall figure opposite, Youxiang's heart throbbed, her lips pursed, and then she threw herself into Lin Luo's arms, crying loudly.

She cried not because of sadness and pain, but because she was moved by caring, and because she finally had someone she could rely on and talk to.

For a long time, Youxiang has set up a door in her heart, her weak side is locked inside the door, no one can reach that door, let alone open that door, so outsiders can All I saw was her forever strong, and the name of that door was...self-esteem!

Because of her strong self-esteem, Xiaoxiang will not reveal her weak side to anyone, even her closest friends, but at this moment, the door of self-esteem is slowly opened.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Youxiang has given up her self-esteem, it's just because Lin Luo, as an elder and a master, shows her weak side in front of him, which doesn't affect her self-esteem.

The girl's tears covered his skirt, Lin Luo looked at her crying, but didn't say anything to comfort her, he just stroked her head and waited quietly.

He knew that Youxiang's self-esteem was extremely strong, and generally speaking, the stronger the self-esteem, the stronger the inferiority complex. Born in Kusano, she was looked down upon by others since she was a child. This kind of Youxiang, in the face of the mystery of her birth, can surpass anyone. Xiao Zishi, who is above genius, will not prevent the two from becoming true friends, but it will inevitably make Xiaoxiang feel ashamed.

This is human nature, just like the short and poor and the tall, rich and handsome in reality, even if the tall, rich and handsome did not look down on the short and sincerely made friends with him, but the short and poor in tattered clothes, went to the tall, rich, handsome and brilliant Can a palace-like home really hold its head up high?

Can't!

When Gao Fushuai and his other friends were talking about spending tens of thousands of pocket money today, Ai Zuoqiong touched the only one yuan and thirty cents in his pocket, could he really remain indifferent?

Can't!

The situation of Youxiang and Xiaozi is similar to this. If it was in a peaceful era, whether they are strong or not has little to do with whether they can become friends, but now it is a chaotic era where the weak prey on the strong, even if they I don't mind the strength of the other party, but the reality will not follow their will.

Only the strong can stand beside the strong, and the weak can only watch from afar.

Therefore, when Xiaozi went further and further on the road of being strong, she began to stagnate, or even regressed. Her inferiority complex, which had been hidden very well, would inevitably flare up, but her strong self-esteem He won't let her bow her head, so she just got into the corner of the horn, sank deeper and deeper, and then completely lost herself.

In other words, it is precisely because of the deep bond between Youxiang and Xiaozi that she feels anxious and panicked about her stagnation. If she is alone and has no attachments, then at most she will take her time.

Lin Luo is not a psychologist, but after going through so many things, he can still see this. It's just that although he understands Youxiang's psychological secrets, he can't tell them.

After a while, You Xiang probably had finally had enough crying, she slipped out of Lin Luo's arms, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

"I'm sorry, Master, for worrying you." After a while, Youxiang raised her head, although her eyes were a little red and swollen, but the haze on her face was not as deep as before.

Lin Luo nodded and said, "Now that you have realized your weakness, then you should consider how to overcome your weakness... What is it that bothers you?"

If it was in the past, Youxiang would definitely not have said it, but had chosen to fight alone, but now after being enlightened by Lin Luo, she stopped digging into the horns and told the truth about her situation.

Of course, after all, it is still the rule of law. Lin Luo also asked the question knowingly. The reason why he would ask the answer is not the point. The important thing is to let Xiaoxiang say it himself.

After listening to Youxiang's words, Lin Luo was silent for a while, and then said in her expectant eyes: "You said that you can't comprehend the power of rules because you don't have the talent, maybe this is correct, because the power of rules is not something everyone can understand. It can be learned, but some people can't master the rules even if they spend their entire lives..."

Hearing this, the hope that Xiaoxiang had just raised was extinguished in an instant, and her face was full of despair, but before she could speak, Lin Luo changed the subject, "However, there are not only rules in this world. One hundred and sixty lines, every line of work leads to the number one scholar, and some people, even if they don't rely on the power of rules, can still reach the peak."

"Doesn't rely on rules?" Youxiang was stunned, she never thought about this.

Lin Luo didn't answer, but turned around, pointed in the direction of their hut, and pointed to the straight path, "We all came from this road, and we must go this way when we go back. But..." The next moment, Lin Luo stretched out his hand and waved, billowing black flames shot forward, burning the path in an instant.

Looking back at Youxiang who was stunned, Lin Luo asked with a smile: "Now that this road is gone, can't we go back to our hut?"

"This..." Youxiang was taken aback, and instinctively looked to the side.

Lin Luo nodded, "That's right, even if the road is gone, we can still climb over the next mountain and go back to our house, even if the next mountain has no road, we can still fly over from the sky, since you know all of this, So is there any confusion in the process of cultivation?"

Youxiang couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she vaguely felt that she had caught something.

Lin Luo waved his hand again to make the mountain road return to normal, and then said: "As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Since the road of rules does not work, then another road is that your feet are not broken, as long as you step out , that is a road, your hands are also on your body, only by working hard, you may not be able to create a world of your own!"

Hearing these words, Youxiang instinctively looked at her hands and feet. At this moment, she suddenly thought of her former self...in the past, she was alone, and the difficulties and dangers she encountered were even greater than now. Have your hands and feet come over?

Seeing Youxiang's brighter and brighter expression, Lin Luo knew that she had realized something, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "The most important point is that everyone has their own strengths, and only by finding it , that is the true strength, and what I want to ask is... do you know where your true strength lies?"

"What is my true strength?" Youxiang was a little confused, what is her true strength? strength? Monster power? Still working hard? No, none of these.

My true strength should be...

At this moment, Lin Luo stretched out his hand and lightly pressed his fist on her chest, "Isn't it here?"

From the touch of her chest, Youxiang felt her heart beating, and then looked at Lin Luo's expression full of trust. At this moment, she finally understood what her real strength was.

For a moment, she had the feeling of pulling away the clouds and mist to see the sunny sky.
