Chapter 510: A Dragon Among Men
Saying goodbye to Xu Can and turning back into Wu Lai, this is the first thing I want to do next. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】
Grandpa Han suddenly heard my words about removing makeup, and the inexplicable look in his eyes was even worse, he frowned slightly, and wondered again, "Why?"
Hearing this, I still didn't look back, my eyes were still looking directly at Grandpa Han in the mirror, and my eyes were firm. In a more solemn tone, I replied to him, "I don't need this identity anymore!"
For me, Xu Can's mission is to get close to Xia Xiaoxiao and take Xia Xiaoxiao.
So far, I have completed my mission and achieved my goal, I have made Xia Xiaoxiao fall in love with me with all her heart, Xia Xiaoxiao has already told me everything she knows, in other words, I have got the information I want from her mouth, she has no other value in me, I don't need to use her anymore, if I can, I don't want to hurt her more.
As long as I take off Xu Can's skin now, then, Xu Can and Wu Lai are the same person, maybe it will become an eternal secret, and people may not know in the future that the magical rich second-generation Xu Can is actually Wu Lai.
In this way, Xia Xiaoxiao's injury may be a little smaller, at least, she will think for the rest of her life that Xu Can really loves her, which may be the most valuable wealth for her.
In addition, this matter has to be hidden, and those who are related to Xu Can will not be involved, especially Liu Longyin and others, if the people of the Hong Gang know that Xu Can is Wu Lai, then Liu Longyin will become the object of shielding me, and the Hong Gang will definitely transfer their anger to her, she has already offended the Chu family for me, I don't want her to offend the Hong Gang because of me, as for whether she will help me deal with the Hong Gang, I have to discuss this with her, instead of directly pulling her into the water.
Therefore, taking off Xu Can's appearance is the result of thinking about it for a long time, however, just after I finished saying this, my mobile phone rang suddenly.
The abrupt ringtone interrupted the conversation between me and Grandpa Han, and I immediately took out my mobile phone to see that the caller ID was actually Xia Xiaoxiao.
Actually, I was eager to remove Xu Can's makeup, the main reason was Xia Xiaoxiao, I really didn't expect that she just called, and I don't know, is this considered a good heart, did she sense that Xu Can was going to disappear?
In an instant, there was another touch of sadness in my heart, and after a pause of two seconds, I still answered the phone.
Immediately, Xia Xiaoxiao's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xu Can, I dreamed last night, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore, I was scared to death, are you free today? I want to see you!"
Hearing this, my heart was stabbed suddenly, sure enough, loving someone to a certain depth, there will be telepathy, Xia Xiaoxiao loves me too much, cares too much about me, so she is subconsciously afraid of losing me, but the reality is that she will really lose me, and lose me forever.
I didn't expect that she would really sense this, she was so afraid that I would leave her, but I had to leave her, my heart was tugging. Self-blame and guilt tugged at me, I couldn't let go, I knew that I had completely hurt a girl, no matter how much I tried to minimize the damage to her, I was destined to let her suffer this pain of losing her love.
After a long pause, I whispered and said leisurely: "Xiaoxiao, I can't go out recently, the people of the Chu family have moved, and my mother is afraid that I will be in danger and let me hide, so during this time, I can't go out for the time being, and when my family solves the matter of the Chu family, I will meet you again, okay?"
Since I've been with Xia Xiaoxiao, lying has become my stunt, and it's easy to say, and what I say is reasonable.
Xia Xiaoxiao is not brainless, she loves me too much, so she will believe my words, but, even so, she is still sad, her voice is so pitiful: "Then I can't go to your house to find you?"
Her voice made my heart hurt even more, I endured the tremor, and continued to lie: "Well, I'm not at home now, my mother was afraid that I was in danger, so she took me to a secret location, and I can't see outsiders for the time being, I'm afraid that something will happen, Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, you can stay at home first!"
Xia Xiaoxiao is also a sensible girl, she will not stalk me, although the fear in her heart makes her want to hold on to me, but her love for me is too deep, she would rather bear such a torment herself, but also for my sake, knowing that I am in danger, she is even less likely to embarrass me.
After a few seconds of pause, she spoke up again and said to me seriously: "It's okay, I'll wait for you, if you can come out, you must call me!"
Her waiting will be endless, and her waiting will make her more and more heartbroken and haggard.
When I think of this, the guilt in my heart deepens, and the sadness wraps me whole, but I still have to use the most cruel lies to cover all the lies woven in front of me.
I suppressed my sadness and sorrow, and swore to her in a very solemn tone: "Don't worry, I will!"
At this time, I could already see in the mirror that my eyes were red, and our chat, this was the end.
I gave Xia Xiaoxiao a promise that she would not keep, and asked her to keep this empty promise, waiting for the one who did not exist in the first place, Xu Can.
When I hung up the phone, Grandpa Han behind me immediately understood what was going on, he didn't say anything more, didn't chase me and ask again, just said to me in a deep voice: "I'll prepare the potion, you go wash your face!"
After speaking, Grandpa Han went directly out of the room door.
And I, standing upright, looked at Xu Can in the mirror, made a final confession, and officially said goodbye to this face, and then I went to the bathroom and washed up.
After washing, I went back to the room, and at this time, Grandpa Han's potion was also ready, and I immediately consciously lay down on the bed and began to accept Grandpa Han's makeup remover.
The process of removing makeup is not troublesome, at least it is much easier than putting on makeup, Grandpa Han used his specially prepared potion to clean my face little by little, I don't know what kind of medicine he dispenses, it smells bad, a foul smell, when applied to my face, I unconsciously have a feeling of numbness, and after numbness, I feel that my face hurts hotly.
However, I am used to pain and suffering, and I don't care about this pain anymore, I just treat it as if it doesn't exist, just close my eyes and rest quietly.
With the passage of time, the memory of Xu Can in my mind, Xu Can's life, is slowly fading, and when I am completely freed from Xu Can's memory, Grandpa Han has already wiped me, and then, he wiped my face with water.
Suddenly, I heard Grandpa Han's voice like a heavenly voice: "Okay!"
These two words came into my ears, stimulating my nerves, and suddenly, my eyes suddenly opened, although I couldn't see my face, but, after removing the mask, I couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation, I don't need to disguise anymore, I don't need to live under the mask of human skin, I don't need to be against my heart anymore, I finally returned to myself.
At this moment, I felt my body full of vitality, and almost in the blink of an eye, I rolled out of bed and walked to the mirror.
I in the mirror is no longer Xu Can, this is a brand new face, it is Peng Zirui's face, but compared with the previous Peng Zirui, my face seems to have changed dramatically.
Before entering the provincial capital, I looked for Grandpa Han to disfigure, came to the provincial capital, I lived for a while as an ugly madman, after the coma in the Flying Leopard Hall, Grandpa Han rescued me and repaired my appearance, and then I changed my appearance into Xu Can, and only today I washed off Xu Can's makeup.
A face, after so many treatments, of course, it has not become exactly the same as before, although Peng Zirui's mold is still there, but my facial features at the moment look more upright, coupled with the profound experience during this time, my face has more fortitude and mature charm, and the whole person looks more masculine.
While my mind was fluctuating, Grandpa Han's voice suddenly sounded from behind me: "What are your plans next!"
I immediately retracted my mind and gave Grandpa Han a few words: "Go back to your hometown and find a helper!"
A few simple words, representing my determination, this is also the first thing I want to do to restore Wu Lai's identity, anyway, for me, I have done my best, I have done everything I need to do, and the location where my father was imprisoned has been found, then, next, I am going to use all the resources I can use to rescue my father from the dark hall like a demon cave.
Besides, I've been in the provincial capital for a few months, and it's time to go back and see Uncle Lin and my brothers in the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, after so long, I don't know how they are now.
During this time, I lived in the provincial city as a madman and Xu Can, completely lost contact with them in the past, and even, I changed my mobile phone and changed my number, and I didn't even have their contact information, I don't know, those brothers, are they okay?
And, Grandpa Han immediately understood what I meant, he nodded at me and didn't say anything more.
I stood for a while, then turned around, looked at Grandpa Han, and said, "Grandpa Han, in the next few days, please take care of Xu Nan and prepare other medicinal materials." Blood ginseng, I will definitely get it on time. I don't have much time left, so don't delay and go first!"
After saying that, I bowed deeply to this life-saving benefactor who was so gracious to me, and then I resolutely turned around and left.
Now, for me, time is life, originally when Xu Nan had the last month left, I was very anxious, but on the contrary, I was arrested by Steward Du and taken to the dungeon at that time, and I was delayed for half a month in vain, and after I came back, I met Chu Jie, a troublesome spirit, competed with him, and then went to the dark hall, and was delayed for a few days, seeing that the time was getting less and less, there were only ten days left, I had to seize every minute and every second, and I must not delay at all.
However, just as I opened the door and walked out of the room, Grandpa Han suddenly stopped me: "Wait!"
I paused and looked at Grandpa Han inexplicably.
Grandpa Han didn't wait for me to ask anything, he stepped out of the door of the room quickly, and said to me, "Follow me!"
I looked at Grandpa Han's thin back for two seconds, and then I took a step and followed his footsteps.
Seeing him so solemn, I thought he had something important to hand over to me, but I didn't expect that he walked out of his house and walked out of the mountains and forests outside.
It wasn't until he came to the highest piece of land in the mountains and forests that Grandpa Han stopped.
He stood on a high ground, overlooking the pond and the mountains below, his figure unmoved.
At this moment, Grandpa Han has the demeanor of a generation of immortals, and the wind gently blows the hem of his clothes, giving him more momentum.
I have been to this highland before, standing on it, the whole person will open up the field of vision, relaxed and happy, the scenery is very pleasant, the air, is also very fresh.
But, what I wonder is, why did Grandpa Han take me to see the scenery, or when I was pressed for time?
No, since Grandpa Han brought me here, he must have his intentions, and he will not delay my time for no reason. So, I took two quick steps and came to his side, standing side by side with him, overlooking this beautiful scenery together.
After a short silence, Grandpa Han spoke, and said meaningfully: "Wu Lai, after my observation, I found that you have made a new breakthrough in martial arts, and you have realized the way of your heart!"
Hearing this, I realized that what Grandpa Han talked to me about was about my martial arts, but I didn't understand what he said, and unconsciously, I turned my head to look at him and said in amazement: "What is the Heart Dao?"
Grandpa Han's gaze did not change, he still looked into the distance, only spoke softly, and replied leisurely: "The heart is the state of mind, you can ignore the external environment, the state of mind that is not disturbed, this is the highest state of martial arts, the real master, in terms of the way of the heart, will reach a certain realm, and there are even people who reach the peak." When the heart path reaches its peak, when you are against people, you can do whatever you want, without being constrained by moves, without any moves, you can win without moves, and turn decay into magic!"
Although I still don't understand Grandpa Han's words very thoroughly, I finally understand what he meant, and what he said must be the realm of selflessness that I realized when I was competing with Chu Jie. Yes, it was because of this epiphany that I was able to defeat Chu Jie.
But in the final analysis, my strength in this area is still a rookie, and when it really came time to fight against the white-haired old man, environmental factors and the strength of the enemy made me very disturbed, and I didn't play my best in the end, so that I finally failed miserably.
In fact, I can also feel that the mentality is particularly important, and it can even be said that the moves and internal force are far less important than the state of mind, and he has really achieved the same unfathomable moves as Grandpa Han, but he can exert the greatest effect, which is that his state of mind is much stronger than mine, so I didn't hide it, and I told Grandpa Han all the ways of my heart that I comprehended.
After listening to my description of my own mind, he immediately pointed out my problems, corrected them, and told me what I needed to pay attention to, and even tirelessly taught me the state of mind he had comprehended.
Grandpa Han's teaching immediately solved a lot of doubts in my heart, and I only felt that I was suddenly opened, as if I had discovered a new continent, so novel, so excited.
The more I listened, the faster my heart beat and the more joy I felt. Sure enough, there is no end to learning, martial arts is really bottomless, just rely on your own comprehension ability, live to learn all the time, this sentence is the wise saying, everyone, there is room for improvement, especially like me, a genius with extremely high talent and little experience, and there is unlimited space.
Grandpa Han said in the end, directly in a very serious tone, said to me word by word: "The heart of the way, in the end, you have to rely on your own to comprehend, understanding and talent are the most important, I have never comprehended this aspect thoroughly, has been stuck at a point, unable to progress, but Wu Lai, I believe in you, your talent and understanding are top-notch, I think as long as you use your heart to comprehend, you will definitely be able to become a dragon among people in the future!"
The dragon among people, this is a great compliment to me, however, I don't care much, only when Grandpa Han is to comfort me and encourage me to make progress, the only thing I am curious about is that Grandpa Han is such a great god, he has not comprehended the heart thoroughly? In my opinion, Grandpa Han is an old fairy-like existence, and he has indeed achieved no desires and no desires, can live an ordinary life, does not participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and is not tempted by money and power, I feel that his state of mind has reached the limit height.
But, listening to his tone, it seems that he still thinks that his achievements are very bad, he is already so powerful, to what extent can it be considered a success?
The curiosity in my heart became deeper and deeper, and I couldn't help it, so I asked Grandpa Han: "No, I just listened to your analysis, explanation, and watch you fight, I feel that you are unsurpassable, is there a stronger existence than you in terms of heart path?"
Grandpa Han listened to my words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull slightly, revealing a wry smile, and then, he sighed leisurely and confessed: "Of course there is." My talent is actually not high, and my current achievements are mainly due to so many years of hard work, but then again, there are not many people who can really comprehend the heart path thoroughly, and there is only one person I know who has comprehended the heart path to the extreme!"
Hearing this, I didn't even think about it, and almost blurted out: "Who is it?"
Hearing this, Grandpa Han's gaze suddenly became deep, as if everything in this nature had become nothingness in his eyes, and there was something in the depths of his eyes that others could not see.
After a while, Grandpa Han spoke up and said incomprehensibly: "Hades!"
Two words, once again shook my heart, Hades, and Hades, in the past few days, I have heard this name too many times, I don't need to see his deity, just hearing people mention his nickname, it shocked me, it turned out that when I didn't know him, he was the legend in my heart, and now it has been mentioned by others several times, I am even more impressed with him, and at this moment, I heard Grandpa Han say that Hades has reached the highest state of the heart, which makes the image of Hades rise to a higher level in my heart, I feel, he has really surpassed the myth and become the most unattainable existence。
No wonder, more than 20 years ago, he was able to crisscross the rivers and lakes, dominate the wind and clouds, no one can beat, it turned out, he has already understood everything, he, when he is really a strange person in the world, with him as a model, my motivation can't help but increase, unconsciously, I closed my eyes, in my mind, all about the heart of the way.
With Grandpa Han's guidance, I comprehended more, almost instantly, I entered the state and reached the realm of self-forgetfulness, I forgot where I was, I forgot who I was, and even Grandpa Han next to me was ignored by me, I was only immersed in the void world, unable to extricate myself.
Time seems to stand still, and it seems to pass very quickly, when I open my eyes, it is already noon, the scorching sun in the sky, is swaying down from my head, however, I seem to be from the body, to the heart, to the soul, are sublimated, I was exposed to the scorching sun of this summer for a few hours, I did not sweat a little, did not feel the heat, even, these hours for me, like a few seconds, in a flash.
This time, I once again had a new change, a new breakthrough, and my realm couldn't help but rise to another level.
And, when I turned my head, I realized that Grandpa Han was still standing beside me, staring at me seriously.
I can see that he has been with me, from morning to noon, he and I have not separated an inch.
I didn't have too much politeness towards this mentor who had benefited me a lot from my martial arts achievements, I just looked at him calmly, and said in a firm tone: "Grandpa Han, thank you for your advice, but it's not too early now, I really should go!"
My voice, cold and ruthless, expression indifferent and colorless, did not show the excitement and excitement of the breakthrough in martial arts at all, no one could see my heart, but Grandpa Han's eyes were bright, he could see my change at a glance, the corners of his mouth, a look of relief, then, he nodded, and said softly: "Go!"
I opened my lips and threw out two words: "Goodbye!"
As soon as the words fell, my body turned and my steps suddenly moved away.
Under the scorching sun, with swift and powerful steps, I walked out of this mountain forest and highland, and my figure was submerged in the distance
