Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 145 Heart Tribulation
Some thoughts from his previous life made Lin Rong not completely agree with the old housekeeper's answer. He felt half relieved and half disappointed, with something else mixed in.

There were no outsiders in the living room, so all these emotions were written on his face, without any concealment.

Seeing the young master's expression, the old butler surprisingly did not say anything, because he did not want to continue talking about this topic, and his status did not allow him to say anything comforting on this topic.

Right now, the best option is to remain silent and let the young master figure it out himself.

……

That night, at midnight.

In the bedroom, Lin Rong was lying on the bed, staring at the beams on the roof in a trance, thinking about something in his mind.

"Strange, what's going on with my recent mood swings?"

"I'm not a person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. Why do I keep dwelling on this matter and can't figure it out?"

"My current state of mind is much better than during the day, which made me realize this."

"The fluctuations in my state of mind are, as expected, probably related to the realm of the Xisui Sutra."

Lin Rong had a premonition that when his soul power broke through level 70, he would absorb the crystal blood dragon and the Acacia Heartbroken Red to condense his natal soul ring.

The realm of the Xisui Jing will naturally break through to the level of "saving all living beings in seclusion and in visibility".

Thinking of some of the sayings and comments from his previous life, Lin Rong guessed in his heart:
"Those who practice cultivation need to overcome tribulations before they can achieve the right result."

"From this perspective, the violent fluctuations in my state of mind are the calamities that will occur when practicing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra?"

"Disaster, overcoming the disaster."

"The violent fluctuations in my mood will cause me to have extreme thoughts and do something irreparable."

"I just don't know how long this catastrophe will last, one or two days, half a month, two or three months, or will it continue forever until I break through the realm of the Washing Marrow Sutra to the level of 'hidden and visible to save sentient beings'."

Lin Rong turned over and lay on his side on the bed. He looked at the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon that had fallen asleep beside him and reached out to pull its whiskers.

The slight pain woke the Nine-bend Vine Dragon from its sleep. It looked at its owner pulling its whiskers in the middle of the night with a puzzled look on its face.

"Xiao Qing, can you sense that I am conscious enough now?"

“???” The Nine-bend Vine Dragon stared at his master blankly. After a while, he remembered to use his ability of telepathy to understand what his master meant. He nodded, then shook his head.

Afterwards, when the Nine-bend Vine Dragon saw that its master had not made any move, it took the initiative to tell its master what it was thinking through telepathy.

Lin Rong was lying on the bed again, holding the mini version of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon in his arms, and said:

"As long as you can stay conscious, some minor effects are not important."

"Xiao Qing, you can sense my consciousness, so can you also sense the changes in my thinking and habits?"

This question made Jiuqu Tenglong carefully sense his master's inner thoughts for a long time. He first shook his head, and then nodded gently.

After Lin Rong sensed Jiuqu Tenglong's thoughts, he said:

"I can't feel any specific changes, but I can feel some subtle fluctuations, that's it."

"Xiaoqing." Lin Rong paused and continued:

"Since you can sense the fluctuations in my mood, there are some things I want you to remember."

"I didn't expect that practicing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and breaking through a realm would require me to go through a tribulation."

"This catastrophe will cause my state of mind to fluctuate violently. In order to prevent my behavior from being controlled by some extreme thoughts when my mood is low." "Once you sense that something is wrong with me, use the Evil Breaking Dragon Roar on me to calm me down."

"The coverage area of ​​the Evil-Breaking Dragon Roar doesn't need to be too large, just use it on me."

"If I still can't calm down, you have to take me to the banyan tree forest by force until I calm down."

"During this time, you don't have to follow any of my instructions at that time."

"Also, in order to prevent you from being forcibly controlled by me at that time, I will use the power of my mind to temporarily seal my absolute control over you."

"If I want to remove this seal, my own state of mind must be higher than when I set this seal."

"I will not leave this manor until I have survived this disaster. You can take me to the banyan tree forest whenever you like."

"Xiaoqing, do you remember it?"

The Nine-Curved Vine Dragon's mental state was equivalent to that of a five-year-old child at this time. After listening to these complicated words, it scratched its head with its little paws, thought seriously for a while, and then nodded vigorously.

Through telepathy, Lin Rong knew that Jiuqu Tenglong really understood what he said, and he felt relieved.

The Nine-bend Vine Dragon, as his martial soul, is absolutely loyal to him.

Even if he sealed his absolute control over it, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon, which had been given intelligence, would still obey his orders.

"My current soul power is level 67 and a half. If I want to cultivate to level 70, it will take at least five months."

"Fortunately, Xiaoqing is here. She has her own intelligence and is in tune with me, so I can get through this disaster without any worries."

"Otherwise, for a full five months, if this calamity continues until I break through the realm of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, then I will have to stay in seclusion until I break through the realm of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra."

After thinking about this, Lin Rong hesitated whether to tell the old housekeeper about this matter.

He was afraid that the old butler would know about this and worry about it all day long, but hiding this from the old butler also made him feel guilty and felt that he did not trust the old butler enough.

Suddenly, Lin Rong felt something poking him. He looked down and saw that it was the dragon horn on the top of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon's head.

A slight dragon roar was heard.

"My mood has dropped again." Lin Rong was speechless.

"No, it's only been a short time!"

"I didn't tell Grandpa Yu about this because I didn't want him to worry about it. How does this have anything to do with trust?"

"I'm afraid my current state of mind is not suitable for sealing my absolute control over you."

"Xiaoqing, neither you nor I should sleep tonight. You should keep abreast of my state of mind. Once it returns to above the passing line, you should tell me immediately."

"When I'm in a normal state, I can place the seal with confidence, but I can't do that now."

After saying that, Lin Rong sat up from the bed and leaned against the soft pillow, turned on the soul guide lamp on the bedside table, and took out a book to pass the time.

As he read, Lin Rong's mind was no longer on the book.

"It's better to tell Grandpa Yu about the heart tribulation."

"After all, I have to let Grandpa Yu know that sometimes he doesn't have to do what I say."

"Especially for some fundamental plans involving the future, and some extremely crazy ideas. If I don't tell Grandpa Yu in advance, given his personality, he will definitely do it without asking why."
