Mo Hua looked helpless, but in his heart, he was quite moved.
And so, everyone left one by one.
In the usual days, living together, attending classes, cultivating, there didn’t seem to be anything special. But now, parting suddenly, thinking about when they would meet again, everyone felt a pang of sadness, their eyes slightly red.
For those who cultivate the Dao, life is long, but the bonds are shallow.
After this goodbye, whether they can meet again in the vast cultivation world in their lifetime, that will really depend on destiny and fate.
The encounters in life, the joys and sorrows, always leave one feeling lonely.
And thus, one by one, the little companions who had once been together day and night, all left.
The Disciple’s Residence also became quiet.
As the "Junior Brother", Mo Hua bid farewell to each one of them, and in the end, he was left all alone.
He wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Because the karmic ties on him were many, once he leaves, he doesn’t know when he will return.
There are some people he has yet to meet, and some things he has yet to handle.
So Mo Hua allowed himself a little extra time.
In the meantime, Elder Master Xun called Mo Hua over again, specifically to confirm his intentions.
The two of them sat in the ancient building of Taixu, watching the drizzling rain, sipping clear tea.
"Are you sure you don’t want to stay in the Inner Gate?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
He has a personal teacher now, a teacher who treats him as precious as a mountain. In this life, he will have only this one teacher.
Elder Master Xun was aware of this, so he was not surprised.
"Then are you going home?" Elder Master Xun asked.
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, I want to return home for a visit, to see my parents... It has been ten years since I left home, I don’t know how my parents are, I need to see them to feel at ease."
"And after that?" Elder Master Xun asked.
"I haven’t decided yet..." Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then asked, "Elder Master Xun, I want to..."
Elder Master Xun shook his head, "Don’t say it, some plans should be kept to yourself, don’t tell anyone, not even me. The heavenly mechanism and causality on you is heavy, once leaked, it can be calculated by others, which could bring disaster upon you."
"Yes," Mo Hua replied, "I understand."
"There’s one more thing..." Elder Master Xun paused slightly, then spoke in a deep voice, "I have also discussed with True Man Situ. You previously... incurred endless karma, which turned into evil, causing your life chart to inversely change. Now in your life chart, extreme evilness gathers, if you are not careful, you may end up... beyond redemption..."
Mo Hua’s heart was stern, he frowned and asked: "Then what should I do?"
Elder Master Xun sighed and solemnly said:
"The lethal techniques of divine thought, unless necessary, try not to use them. Otherwise, it will disturb your divine soul, stirring the killing intent within you, thereby causing evil Qi to backfire, unbalancing your life chart."
"Even when you have no choice but to use them, try to restrain as much as possible."
"Also, avoid overextending your divine sense as much as possible, otherwise your life chart might lose control, causing the evil Qi to erupt."
"From now on, when you are outside, remain calm in the face of events, avoid killing if you can."
"If killing is unavoidable, try to restrain it, don’t kill too much."
"Manage your karmic debts, they cannot be aggravated any further..."
As he spoke, Elder Master Xun himself found it absurd.
Is this how one teaches a disciple of the Righteous Dao?
What kind of Righteous Dao disciple needs to be told "manage your karmic debts"?
Elder Master Xun sighed, somewhat helpless.
Mo Hua, on the other hand, took all of Elder Master Xun’s words to heart.
Not listening to the elders will lead to suffering right in front of you.
Elder Master Xun’s special advice must be remembered, not neglected.
As for the so-called "managing karmic debts" matter, Mo Hua didn’t think it was much of a problem.
He’s always been kind to others, although a little "intolerant of evil", he rarely actually kills.
The Blood Sacrifice Array incident was purely forced by circumstances, there was nothing he could do.
After all, how could he go on killing so many people in the future?
"Elder, I will remember." Mo Hua nodded.
Elder Master Xun saw Mo Hua’s serious attitude, clearly taking it to heart, and felt somewhat relieved.
He then looked deeply at Mo Hua, sighing in his heart:
"Even the most cherished child must eventually be let out to explore the world on his own..."
"It’s just that... leaving the Taixu Gate, leaving the Qianxue State Boundary, there will be no one to look after him anymore. The outside world is chaotic, the world is full of dangers, demons and ghosts can be found everywhere..."
