Reap What You Sow

Chapter 2

True to what Hua Cheng had told him. His back and broken bones were healed within three days. He had a lot to think about, especially about cultivating a demonic core. If there is one thing he knows about himself is that he took the YungmiangJiang sects lotto very seriously. To achieve the impossible. He was in no hurry. He allowed himself to heal properly. So after a week, he took suibian and started to slowly go through his sword forms. Yes, he had seen and felt the barrier in front of the cave, letting him know that was to keep the ghosts and most of the resentful energy out. Another thing he had observed was that every morning as he woke up their would be fresh fruits. Three bowls of congee. Fresh water and even chili sauce. He also found blank talisman paper and cinnabar. Wei Ying was grateful to Hua Cheng, and he started to wished that he could sometimes come by just so that Wei Ying could thank him once again. But he holds on to the man's words that maybe some day they will meet again.

His days revolved around meditating. Strengthen his mind and body one day at a time. When he felt he was ready, he walked out of the cave. The barrier shivered as he walked through. He could feel the strength of it. There is one thing that had been bothering him for a while now. There is always this butterfly, flying around. Sometimes sitting on his head, or on his shoulder and sometimes on his nose and forehead. Sometimes, it would sit on his hand when he stretched it out. But he long come to the conclusion that it is harmless and knowing by now that their are no butterflies in the burial mounds than this one must be special.

As he stepped outside, he looked around, and all he could see was darkness as the resentful energy swirls around the place. Voices calling out for justice. Revenge and blood. Wei Ying pressed his hands over his ears as the voices became louder and moved closer. Some excited because there were someone for them to torture at last. But soon, instead of just one wrath butterfly, more appears out of thin air. The voices slowly started to fade away, and Wei Ying took his hands away from his ears when he did not hear the voices anymore. He looked around and was amazed at seeing more butterflies. Holding his hand out, they all swarm around his hand and finally sat down. "Where did you come from. But I'm glad at least I have some company even though you can't talk back". He said with a smile. "Ohk, let's begin. What do you think?Will this work? I personally do not know if it would, but I would not know if I don't give it a try right". He spoke to the butterflies who flattered up from his hand and started to swirl around his body.

Wei Ying smiles and lowers his body into lotus position. He thought for a while about how he had formed his golden core. Drawing on the spiritual energy around him. Maybe it works the same way. He must draw from the resentful energy around him. Cautioning himself not to draw too much at one time. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. His hands on his knees in an upward position, his thumbs and middle fingers touching lightly. Using his senses, he slowly started to pull small amounts of resentful energy towards him. Circulate it slowly inside him. He could feel the resentful energy even though it is just a small amount circling his golden core as if seizing it up.

He could feel it trying to attack his golden core, so he circulated his golden core slowly and let his spiritual energy just a small amount out. The two energies pull and tuck. The one trying to overpower the other. The resentful energy was more aggressive, but Wei Ying did not waver, pushing it with his spiritual energy. The two energies fought long and hard trying to dominate over the other. He did not know how long he was sitting there, but eventually, his body grew tired, and he opened his eyes slowly. He could still feel the resentful energy inside him circling around. He took another few deep breaths before stood up. He looked around him, and all he could see was darkness of the resentful energy. He heard growling and howling wondering what horrors are hiding in the dark mist. The butterflies fly all around him, and Wei Ying could not help but smile. Wondering once again where they had come from.
