Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 5 You Can Choose Who You Want to Be

Qin Xiuyun closed the door as soon as he came in, and used his Qi to check if there was anyone around. After confirming that there was no one, he quickly walked to Qin Xiao and opened his mouth with a complicated expression: "Lie down first. Just listen to what I say."

Qin Xiao lay down as he was told, his eyes fixed on the ceiling above his head.

"The result of your awakening today is very bad." Qin Xiuyun said straight to the point, "The transparent ball is called Wusu, and it is a tool used to display one's character, innate qi, and attributes. The situation that occurred when you touched it shows that your character is extremely bad, and your innate qi is evil qi. You are a born evil cultivator."

Father Qin turned his head and stood with his hands behind his back facing Qin Xiao: "For normal people, the innate Qi is white. Only when a Qi cultivator goes astray, the innate Qi is polluted and stained black by the desires and evil thoughts in his heart, and the Qi and attributes he uses will appear black. This kind of people are called evil cultivators."

"Evil cultivators are easier to cultivate than normal Qi cultivators - because they all use evil ways, and are more cruel and violent than normal people, and will do anything to achieve their goals. They are cold-blooded and treat human life as worthless. And those who are born evil cultivators are one step ahead of those who are born evil, and it is extremely easy for them to achieve results in their cultivation."

"But benefits and risks are always closely related. While gaining powerful strength, it is also easier to go astray than normal Qi cultivation."

Qin Xiuyun pursed his lips and turned his head: "I know these words may not be very suitable for you now, and you may not understand what I am saying, or you may not have an accurate concept of these things, but I hope you can remember. Qin Xiao."

"You don't have the right to choose what your innate Qi is, but you can choose what kind of person you want to be."

Father Qin's face was solemn, and he said word by word: "I don't want you to become a pervert who is unscrupulous and insidious. If one day, you really become that kind of person——"

"I will kill you myself."

Qin Xiuyun finally said it, his tone was colder than ever before.

He closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at Qin Xiao's expression for a moment.

…Then you should kill me now.

Qin Xiao thought expressionlessly.

Pervert...it seemed like a lot of people called him that at the beginning.

But he said nothing, just nodded calmly: "Got it."

Father Qin felt a little heartbroken, as if a huge rock was pressing on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

It was like this again. This child was always so obedient that it was frightening. Even after he said such cold words, he could still say so calmly that he knew...

Just like a doll without emotions.

Father Qin wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it out loud: "You should take good care of your wounds. I have scar removal medicine in my room. I'll ask the tribe doctor to apply it on you tonight."

Qin Xiao closed his eyes and responded.

"It's so heartless..."

On a century-old tree a hundred meters away from the Li clan's medical office, Qin Yansheng closed her fan slightly and touched the black cat lying on her shoulder. The black cat had black eyes and opened its mouth slightly, and Qin Xiuyun's voice came from it.

Qin Yansheng held the black cat in his arms, stroking it gently, with a hint of pity in his tone: "After all, this little guy was just struck by lightning, and now he is feeling uneasy and needs his father's loving care. As a parent, he didn't even say a word of comfort, and even said such cold words without mercy..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of being Qin Xiuyun." Qin Yansheng shook his head and looked at the people around him, "But now you can rest assured, right? The clan leader really didn't reveal any information."

The man didn't say anything, his eyes were dark and unclear, and the surroundings were very gloomy.

"It seems we have to be more cautious with this test. If we inflict new injuries on this little guy, given Qin Xiuyun's personality, he will never let it go." Qin Yansheng said.

Qin Ao snorted coldly, turned around and climbed down the tree.

Qin Xiao's body recovered quickly, and with the medicine Qin Xiuyun gave him, he only had to lie in bed for four days before the gauze could be removed.

Qin Xiao checked his body and found that his skin had no scars due to timely treatment. Originally, he would have been able to get out of bed and move around on his own in just three days after awakening, but due to the tribe doctor's objection, he stayed in bed for one more day.

Qin Jinyi and Qin Jichen returned to school on the night of the accident. Although they objected to Qin's father, they were ultimately unable to convince him and could only reluctantly embark on the journey back to school.

Qin Xiao moved out of the infirmary the next day and returned to his room to recuperate. Because the doctor said he needed to rest, so apart from Qin's father who would occasionally sit beside Qin Xiao when he had nothing to do and explain to him the difference between evil cultivation and ordinary Qi cultivation, only the doctor came to conduct routine examinations twice a day.

Qin Xiao would practice when no one was around, and some of the things Qin Xiuyun told him could indeed help him.

The dark and cold Qi was circulating throughout his body. The evil cultivator's practice was indeed very fast. Qin Xiao could clearly know that in less than half a day at the beginning, the circulation and fullness of the entire Qi had obviously risen to a higher level.

But the strange thing is that no matter what method Qin Xiao used to release the attributes, he could not succeed.

Qin Xiao once thought about asking Qin Xiuyun for help, but he gave up when he realized that Qin Xiuyun was very sensitive and avoided certain things about evil cultivators.

Qin Xiao recalled that on the third day, Qin Xiuyun came to visit for the second time. He was in a very bad mood, and the gloom around him seemed to be about to turn into a entity.

Qin Xiao didn't understand and asked him what was wrong. Qin Xiuyun was silent for a moment, then asked solemnly: "Third brother, can you give up becoming a Qi cultivator?"

Qin Xiao was stunned.

Qin Xiuyun had a gloomy face and lowered his head slightly. It was hard to tell the emotions hidden in his eyes. "Evil cultivators are indeed powerful, but they are considered aliens in the eyes of the world. When people mention evil cultivators, the first thing they think of is negative words...including me. Regardless of whether you are born with it or not, innate and acquired are different. You should not be associated with such an evil name. In the future, you must be ten thousand times more careful than ordinary people in your mentality when practicing. It is so difficult..."

"So I wonder if you can give up your training, give up this talent, and become an ordinary person."

"Although this world is a world of the jungle and Qi practitioners are everywhere, I will protect you, and your brother will also protect you. It is not shameful not to practice. So..."

Qin Xiuyun's clenched fist revealed his nervousness at the moment: "Can you give up becoming a Qi cultivator?"

Qin Xiao looked at him quietly for a moment, and for the first time since he was born, he rejected him: "No."

"Are you afraid? Do you think you will be left behind by Jin Yi and the others? Are you worried that you won't be able to protect yourself? I can teach you other self-defense skills—"

"No need." Qin Xiao said, his voice without any fluctuation, "I will continue to practice and become an evil cultivator."

"...Even if I break your legs?" Qin's father suddenly released his pressure. Qin Xiao's breathing stagnated, and the air around him suddenly became sparse. This powerful aura made him breathless.

Father Qin said coldly: "Do you know what attitude the outside world has towards evil cultivators? As long as they are classified as evil cultivators, even if they have never done anything bad, as long as they are labeled as such, even if they are cut into pieces or tortured to death, no one will feel the slightest bit wrong."

Qin Xiuyun's voice was icy cold, with a chill that seemed to pierce one's spine.

"Now I know." Qin Xiao was still calm, staring at Qin's father, "but I still stick to my idea."

Qin Xiao felt a slight itch in his throat, and his body was already feeling unwell under the strong pressure from his father.

Qin Xiuyun held out for a moment, but eventually gave in. He sighed and looked away, "Sometimes, escaping is also an important choice, and it also requires courage."

Qin Xiao knew what he was talking about and said nothing.

Father Qin looked at him deeply, as if he was extremely tired: "I hope you don't regret it in the future."

Qin Xiao understood Qin Xiuyun's feelings, and he knew that he could choose to give up. After all, he had methods that others did not have, but this was not what he wanted.

Qin Xiao believed that since he had come to this world, he should master the power of this world, live in this world according to the rules here, use the power in the right place, and not just limit himself to the methods of his previous life. He needed to master new things.

Since he has such a high talent, he should not waste it. Other people's eyes have nothing to do with him. If what Qin Xiuyun said is true, then the power he possesses should be stronger than others. As long as he keeps working hard, he will not be easily controlled by others.

Qin Xiao touched the jade pendant, thought of something, and his eyes sank.

I don't know how they are doing... They should be okay, right?

Qin Xiao thought about it, and his eyes fell on the note on the table again. This was given to him by Qin's father. It was a map, asking him to find him at the place marked on it tomorrow morning, saying that he had something to tell him.

Qin Xiao read the note and found that the location was not at the Qin family's house, but the back mountain where he usually went.

Qin Xiao was a little confused. Wasn't he afraid of getting lost?

I am so grateful for his trust.

"I have placed a projection stone on the mountain. We can see all the scenes on the mountain." Qin Ao said coldly in the Qin Family Hall, "When we go to the mountain tomorrow, please restrain your aura. I don't need to say much about the sharpness of the evil cultivators."

Qin Yansheng turned her head away as if she couldn't bear it anymore. Although she felt that he was crazy, she could understand him, so she didn't argue with him and nodded.

"There's no need to be so nervous..." the old man wanted to say something.

"It's because Xiao Li looked down on the evil cultivators that he..." Qin Ao even had tears in his eyes as he recalled something.

"..."

The old man was silent for a moment, thinking of the high-spirited boy: "But he is only a 6-year-old child."

Qin Ao turned his head away and said nothing.

"What he said makes sense. It's better to be cautious." Unexpectedly, the first person to support it was Qin Xiuyun.

Qin Yansheng looked at him in horror: Is this child your own? How come he is not biased at all...

No wonder she can't be the patriarch.

Qin Yansheng nodded secretly.

The old man glanced at Qin Xiuyun, but didn't say anything. Qin Ao was a little surprised and glanced at Qin Xiuyun.

The main reason why Qin Xiuyun agreed was because he believed in Qin Xiao. Although he was usually a little cold to others, there should be no problem with his character, so he was naturally not afraid of these things.

In the hall, the young man who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word glanced at Qin Xiuyun with a smile in his eyes.

Qin Ao didn't say anything until Qin Xiuyun left.

"You know our clan leader, so why do you want to test him?" The man in green clothes shook the fan in his hand and said with a smile.

"Yu Xing, you think too much." The old man raised his eyelids, "I really don't think this is necessary."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ao and said, "I know that Li's death has deepened your hatred for the evil cultivators, but Qin Xiao is innocent. You arbitrarily transferred your hatred for those evil cultivators to that child. Do you think Qin Xiuyun can't see it? He just doesn't say it."

"I didn't--" Qin Ao seemed to refute.

"No? That's not necessarily true." Qin Yansheng sneered, "Ever since the results of the child's awakening came out, you've been like a demon. You gnashed your teeth every time you mentioned the child. Did the child do anything to you? Don't bring up Wu Su's phenomenon. We have watched the child grow up. Apart from his somewhat indifferent emotions, what else is there to say about him?"

"The clan leader took your feelings of losing your son into consideration and backed off again and again, but you are still getting ahead of yourself. Your son is still a son, so Qin Xiao is not the clan leader's son?" Qin Yansheng said unhappily, "Qin Xiuyun hasn't lost his temper until now purely because his temper has improved in recent years. If he was in his twenties, would you dare to challenge him like this?"

"I--"

"Hey, what you said is serious." The man in green shirt smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Although the Second Elder has indeed lost his rationality these days, it is not to this extent."

"Qin Yuxing, stop trying to smooth things over here." Qin Yansheng didn't buy his account. After saying this coldly, he got up and left.

Qin Yuxing looked at Qin Yansheng's departing back, not angry at all, and smiled: "You still have such a hot temper."

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Ao and said, "I believe there will be a result tomorrow, so I will leave first. After all, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Qin Yuxing put away his fan, stood up and said goodbye.

The next day, Qin Xiao found out that Qin Xiuyun didn't come when he was having breakfast. Thinking of what he said yesterday, he didn't care. After finishing his meal with Qin Jiuyuan, he sent her to play with her friends.

After Qin Jiuyuan arrived at the place where she had agreed to meet with her friends, Qin Xiao saw that the other party's elders were also there, so he took the note and went out with confidence.

Qin Xiuyun was not without reason to be assured of him. The route on the note was drawn in great detail, even the landmarks were drawn clearly, the kind that even a fool could understand, so Qin Xiao successfully reached the back mountain.

Qin Xiao looked around, and there was no one around. He could only hear the wind blowing. The trees at the foot of the mountain were lush and green, and the sky was bright and blue. It was very quiet and deep.

Qin Xiao compared the direction on the note and walked towards the mountainside. Because the back mountain had not been developed and the stairs were not built, the roads were all dirt roads, with potholes and weeds everywhere. The mountains were covered with lush trees, and the leaf canopy blocked most of the sunlight, so the grass was not very tall.

When Qin Xiao took a step forward, he paused slightly, looked around as if aware of something, and when he didn't see anything unusual, he lowered his head and continued walking.

Next to a river on the mountain, Qin Ao, who was watching the projection, whispered, "I told you to be more cautious, right?"

Qin Xiuyun on the side ignored him and stared solemnly at Qin Xiao who appeared on the projection of the sky in front of him.

Qin Xiao continued forward as if he hadn't noticed anything, when suddenly, he heard a sobbing sound.

Qin Xiao turned his head and saw that the grass not far away was shaking abnormally, as if there was something inside.

Qin Xiao took a quick look and then looked away, continuing to move forward.

"Is... is there someone in there?"

A timid female voice was heard, forcing Qin Xiao to stop and look towards the bushes.

A blindfolded girl suddenly emerged from the bushes. She looked to be in her teens, underdeveloped, with a flat body. Her arms were behind her back and her eyes were covered with a black cloth stained with a large area of ​​dark unknown liquid.

The bright red liquid mixed with tears was smeared on her face, and she looked very miserable. There was a thick rope tied around the girl's neck, and there were horrible blue-white marks on her snow-white neck. It was obvious that she had been subjected to inhuman persecution.

The girl staggered a few steps and fell in front of Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao not only did not help her, but also stepped back a few steps to prevent her from touching him.

"Is anyone here?" The girl seemed to have heard some noise and asked in a panic, her voice trembling, "Please save me, I..."

Qin Xiao saw the girl's appearance clearly at this time. Although her eyes were covered and her face was covered with dirt, he could still tell from the lower half of her face that she was a beautiful girl. The girl's hands were tied tightly with hemp ropes, her wrists were bloody and her body was covered with yellow soil. She looked miserable and pitiful.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, said nothing, and looked at her quietly.
