The Only Cultivator In The World

Chapter 14 Conversation in the Park

"Your brother is a chef? Is he a top chef with his cooking skills?" Liu Cheng's wife obviously became interested in Tian Xiao and began to ask Liu Cheng about Tian Xiao.

But Liu Cheng has always been careless. Tian Xiao has been missing for thirteen years, and there is really no news at all. Now that we meet again, he looks much younger than he did thirteen years ago, which is really unusual.

Although Liu Cheng appeared to be very nervous, he knew that his brother must have some unknown secrets, so he did not want to reveal too much information to his wife for fear of causing trouble to Tian Xiao. .

After taking a break after lunch, Liu Cheng's wife went to the room to take a nap, and Liu Cheng took the opportunity to drag Tian Xiao out.

"I originally planned to find a restaurant to eat and chat, but I didn't expect that I would be so full now."

"It's okay, it's good to go to the park."

"With your cooking skills, in most restaurants, you might find the food unpalatable, right?"

Liu Cheng glanced at Tian Xiao strangely, and the latter laughed and said, "That's true. Yesterday morning, someone treated me to a meal in a restaurant. It was extremely expensive, but the taste was not good."

The two were walking and chatting in the park. After a while, Liu Cheng finally couldn't help but ask about Tian Xiao's whereabouts in the past thirteen years.

"Didn't I tell you everything? I'm going to cultivate immortality."

Tian Xiao had a smirk on his face. Although he was telling the truth, he was sure Liu Cheng would not believe it.

Sure enough, Liu Cheng glared at him like a fool and said, "I believe you when you say you went to learn to be a chef. Otherwise, why don't you fly over and let me have a look?"

"I can't fly. I said I was cultivating immortality, but I didn't say I had become an immortal."

Tian Xiao shrugged and walked to a tree.

"Let me show you this."

With that said, Tian Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed the tree trunk. Liu Cheng didn't know why, but the next moment his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost!

Tian Xiao's fingers were suddenly pushed hard, and the five fingers were inserted into the trunk of the tree with a "pop" like inserting tofu, and then he pulled out with force. The thick trunk was torn open by Tian Xiao's claws, and a large piece of it was caught. A piece of sawdust!

"Fuck! Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand!"

Liu Cheng screamed and ran to Tian Xiao, took a large piece of sawdust from Tian Xiao's hand, and admired it with wide eyes.

"What about the Shaolin dragon claw hand? You must have read too many martial arts novels. This is just a random claw."

Tian Xiao looked at Liu Cheng's exaggerated look with a half-smile, a bit of pride on his face.

"Are you still a human after all?"

Liu Cheng looked at Tian Xiao as if he wanted to see a ghost, the shock in his eyes was extremely strong.

"Of course they are human, but now their physiques are much stronger than the average person in all aspects. For people like you, I guess it won't be a big problem to kill a hundred or so."

Liu Cheng gave Tian Xiao a roll of his eyes, but then asked him many questions one after another, asking whether he could carry bullets, how old he could live, and so on.

Tian Xiao took the trouble to answer Liu Cheng one by one, and then slowly told Liu Cheng what he had practiced in the Xianjia Cave for thirteen years.

During this period, Liu Cheng was stunned more than once. Today's conversation with Tian Xiao really subverted his three views.

"I didn't expect that after living for more than thirty years, my understanding of the world is only the tip of the iceberg."

Liu Cheng didn't recover for a long time, and in the end he could only sigh like this.

Tian Xiao fully agrees with this. The more he knows, the more problems he will face. Today, he feels the horror of this world more than ordinary people. What the real world is like, even now he can't imagine it. He only feels that it is boundless and profound.

Fairies and ghosts exist, but is it true that there is an underworld full of gods and Buddhas?

Or is the so-called reincarnation of cause and effect true in past and present lives?

It was so scary. When all the legends became reality one by one, Tian Xiao felt that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was too huge and he felt incomparably small. When looking at the world, it is like staring into a bottomless abyss. While I am curious, I also feel an inexplicable fear.

"So you want to go back to that fairy cave?"

Liu Cheng looked at Tian Xiao. Tian Xiao did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't know yet. That fairy book requires me to cut off my secular ties before I can truly embark on the fairy road, so even if I can still It's probably useless to go back. But if I stay in this world, I feel too lonely. To be honest, apart from you and Lao Chen, I have no concern for this society anymore."

"I originally thought that with this skill, I would be able to get along well in society. But today is only my second day, and I don't feel that it is very interesting."

"It seems that I can no longer integrate into this society. The pursuits and ideas I had in the past, looking back now, seem to have become insignificant."

"In the past, to put it bluntly, I wanted to become a rich man, but I don't want to do that anymore. It doesn't matter if I have money, it's just about eating well, wearing clothes, having fun, and giving me the illusion of being superior to others. But life goes by in a hurry. , even if you get what you want, isn’t it just a dream?”

"Looking back now, I realize that the most important thing in life is not money, but family love. Whether it is parents, wife or children, you have to be a little concerned in life and know why you work hard and why you live. If I have a choice, I I would rather have nothing, as long as my parents live well, and then marry a wife and have two children like you. You may feel stressed and tired sometimes, but it is precisely because of these that people like you As a person, he seems to be still alive."

Tian Xiao's thoughts flew far and wide. He thought of many things and expressed them casually. Liu Cheng listened quietly, and slowly he fell into deep thought.

Liu Cheng couldn't help but think of himself. Although his marriage is not happy in his opinion, he does feel that he is still alive because of his family love. Aren’t you working hard to earn money just to support your children? Although my parents moved to their hometown in the countryside because of their relationship with my wife, I can’t fake the joy and sense of accomplishment I feel when I buy things for them back home during the holidays.

It’s hard to imagine that if one day your parents are gone, and all your children and wife are gone, is there really any point in living? Even if you had a lot of money at that time, where should you spend the money? Do you eat, drink, whore and gamble all day long?

At this moment, Liu Cheng suddenly realized how pitiful his brother was and how lucky he was.

"Ahem, actually... you can find a wife. With your current ability, you can't find any wife."

The two were silent for a long time before Liu Cheng opened his mouth to break the silence.

"I have thought about it, but I have no such plan at the moment. This is to forcefully add fetters to yourself and force yourself into the world. I don't care about the good or bad for now, but once you enter the world, it will be difficult to think about it again. So it is best to let everything go. If you can't cut it off in the end If it's a secular connection, I might do it."

Liu Cheng nodded and said: "That's right. For example, I, although I yearn for the cultivation of immortality you mentioned, but if I have to give up my family because of this, I will never be able to do it. Besides, you don't have it now. It is beyond the scope of normal people, and the view of the world and life may be very different from ours. Since you don’t have much idea about entering society now, don’t walk in hastily. It would be a big deal to be able to attain Taoism and become an immortal. There are countless people who want this opportunity but still don’t have the chance.”

Hearing what Liu Cheng said, Tian Xiao relaxed slightly and nodded with a smile.

"Why don't you tell me about you and your wife?"

Tian Xiao raised his eyebrows and said to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "What's there to say? I've accepted defeat in this life. When the two children grow up, it's time to separate. Anyway, I've had enough."

"You can't say that." Tian Xiao shook his head and said seriously: "If you always think like this, you are harming others and yourself. In the end, you will not be comfortable, and you will make a house full of chaos."

"Then what else can I do?" Liu Cheng raised his tone and said, "I have to endure it again and again, but some people just deliberately look for trouble. Who can stand it after a long time?"

Tian Xiao sighed and said, "I know it's easier to say than to do, but as a brother, I still have to say some things."

"Sometimes you should think from the perspective of your younger sibling. If she is beautiful, she will naturally have a big heart. A woman, especially a beautiful woman, when she is young, naturally wants to marry a good man based on her beauty. Speaking of material things, it means finding a rich husband. Although it sounds vulgar, it is actually understandable. After all, people only have a few years of youth, and this marriage is equivalent to betting the rest of their lives. Who doesn’t want to have a family in the future? Be richer and live an easier life?”

"Then blame me? Blame me for not being able to make money?"

Liu Cheng suddenly stared.

"Don't be stupid, you know I don't mean that." Tian Xiao glared back unceremoniously. He continued: "Wealth and poverty are all destiny. If you are not rich, you can't live in this world? It is an established fact that you have failed in business and have been hindered in wealth. Although it is not easy for you, you think from the perspective of your younger siblings. Think about it, is it easy for her? She has left the rest of her life to you, and then you suffered a setback, which is equivalent to her "investment" failure. Is that girl willing to see that her husband is a loser? Her attitude toward you will change later, and it is indeed She wasn't good enough, but that's human nature. I guess you weren't in a good mood at that time. Neither of you felt that you were wrong, and both felt that you were wronged, so they fought against each other, which later led to the breakdown of the relationship, and now it's out of control. Right?"

Liu Cheng curled his lips angrily and did not answer.

"If the two of you could think from each other's perspective, even if there were conflicts at the time, it would not have led to the conflict now. As a wife, she will support you more when you are in trouble. As a husband, you will calm down afterward. If you take the initiative to take care of her mood and pay more attention to her, why would the trouble get to this point?"

"Easier said than done."

Liu Cheng snorted, looking unconcerned.

"The reason why I say this is not to ask you to tell who is right and who is wrong. You yourself know that this is meaningless. You have been married for more than ten years, and you will spend the rest of your life together without any accident. Who will benefit from you continuing like this? Woolen cloth?"

"Besides, I don't think my sister-in-law actually has bad intentions. Just say that for so many years, you have been suffering from anger, isn't she also suffering from anger? But for the sake of her children, she is just like you, while enduring the grievances you have brought her, while silently She has maintained this family for ten years. If she was really a bad woman, would she have argued with you for ten years and still not get divorced? "

"I……"

Liu Cheng opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find anything to say.

"Don't be dissatisfied. In the beginning, your business failed and the two of you had conflicts. Some people said that your family's financial situation is not bad now, right? From what I see, you should have made some achievements in business over the years. But you guys Has the relationship between the two warmed up because of this?"

"Ah Cheng, don't forget, she is always your woman. Women from other families can cry on their husbands' shoulders when they are wronged. What about my younger siblings? Most of her grievances come from you. Can you imagine every time I talk to you? After the quarrel, did she lock herself in her room and cry silently?"

"She is your wife, a woman who has entrusted the rest of her life to you. Even if she has many bad things and did many things wrong in the past, they are all in the past. From now on, the only thing she can rely on is you. , what are you still fighting for?"

As he listened, Liu Cheng felt that the tip of his nose was a little sore.

"Fuck!" Liu Cheng cursed and turned around angrily, not wanting Tian Xiao to see his eyes turning red.

"You're the one who talks so much nonsense? Is it your wife or mine? You brat, don't have evil thoughts just because your sister-in-law is beautiful. It's not your turn to feel sorry for my wife!"

Liu Cheng turned around and punched Tian Xiao in the chest.

Of course Liu Cheng didn't use any force, but Tian Xiao still pretended to be injured and fell backwards, but in fact he had a smile on his face because he knew Liu Cheng had listened to his words.

"It's too fake. He's as strong as a cow. Why don't you vomit two liters of blood?" Liu Cheng rolled his eyes at Tian Xiao.

Tian Xiao smiled and said: "Two liters is too much. I can't afford to vomit."

Liu Cheng also laughed, then patted Tian Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother, it's true that I'm too stubborn and it's time to change. I'll give her more permission in the future."

Seeing that Liu Cheng took his words into his heart, Tian Xiao was happy from the bottom of his heart. He knew that there were deep conflicts between the two couples, and it was impossible for them to remain in love just because of his words. However, when it comes to relationships, one person must bow first. As long as Liu Cheng's mentality changes today, he is no longer so stubborn, and he is willing to take action slowly in the future, I believe that the relationship between the two will definitely get better and better in the future.

"By the way, is Lao Chen still in this city?"

Hearing Tian Xiao's question, Liu Cheng's expression became obviously lowered. He paused for a moment and then said, "No, he went to Lincheng to develop."

Lincheng is in the next province, more than 300 kilometers away from Shuinan City.
