Chapter 193: If Urashima hadn't opened the jade box
"Did you know that in China there is a different way of counting dates from our Gregorian calendar, which is called the lunar calendar? ”
Qianrou suddenly opened her mouth to popularize knowledge about Chang Ji's science, which made Chang Ji really surprised, although Chang Ji didn't want to listen to these things, but asked himself if he didn't have the strength to stop the other party from talking, so he could only listen silently.
"According to the method of counting days in the lunar calendar, every day has a saying that there is good luck and evil, and on a certain day, it may be auspicious to get married, or it may be vicious. In short, the algorithm has a unique sense of mystery in the East, and in comparison, the Black Friday that Westerners pay attention to is simply weak. ”
After Qian Rou finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Chang Ji and said, "You said that if it is calculated according to the Chinese lunar calendar, what will be fierce today?"
Chang Ji was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "If people go out every day watching the lunar calendar, I am afraid that this world will only transition to the steam age." ”
Hearing this, Qian Rou smiled faintly and said, "This is just a topic to talk about in your spare time, why should you take it so seriously? Or is there something you are resisting in your heart?"
Chang Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "I never resist anything, because resistance will not solve the problem." ”
Qianjudo: "Pragmatist, I like it. ”
Chang Ji didn't want to put extra energy on Qianrou, and with his current physical condition, he didn't have the extra energy to think about more things.
Chang Ji didn't understand why Hugo didn't come to him in the first place after returning to the East Island this time, although he didn't want Hugo to meet the barefoot woman next to him now.
"What the hell is going on?" muttered Tsuneki.
Interested in the confused Chang Ji Qianrou, she quietly looked at Chang Ji from the side, and then chuckled: "You have been staying here for ten years after the destruction of Dongdao, I thought that you were already dead in heart, and you wanted to spend this life without a problem, and you have been lifeless during the time you have been with you." I don't want to see you glow with a lot of life now, this change is really subtle. ”
Chang Ji sneered and said: "I told your master a long time ago, don't pay attention to me, I'm just a dead waste, and I have no value in the whole world." But if she insists on not listening, then there is nothing I can do, and having one more person around me can also make me less lonely. ”
Qianrou smiled lightly: "That's fine, at least it proves that my efforts are still worthwhile." ”
Shicai Changji used the word "master" to stimulate Qianrou, not to provoke the other party to hurt himself, but to test the depth of the woman's city in front of him.
And for his subconscious provocation, the other party didn't care, as if he hadn't noticed it at all, which made Changji feel very helpless, and this feeling was like hitting a stone with a heavy palm.
Qian Ju said: "Speaking of which, this place is really a paradise, and I want to have the most rare quiet in this world." ”
Chang Ji said: "It used to be a noisy and lively city, but in just one day, it was full of devastation and life. What you see as a peaceful paradise is just a giant tomb. ”
Qian Ju said: "People in the world are always afraid of death, and even regard death as bad luck, but if you often associate with death, you will suddenly find that death is actually beautiful, it is so peaceful and peaceful. No matter how wonderful this life may have been in life, it can be transformed into the same eternity. ”
Chang Ji sneered: "Since you love death so much, why don't you sacrifice yourself for it?"
Qian Ju said, "Do you think I don't?" Chang Ji raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Qianju: "Maybe you don't believe it than you, I actually died for a long time, if you ask how long that time was, um... It's enough for me to accept the reality of death. ”
Chang Ji didn't understand what Qianrou meant, and after a pause, he said, "But you still haven't really died." ”
Qianrou nodded and said, "This is fate." After that, he said to Chang Ji: "Do you believe in fate?"
Tsuneyoshi thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
Qianrou said: "I am not a person who believes in fate, since I was a child, I have firmly believed that my fate is up to me, but after experiencing various events, looking back and recalling those things, I suddenly found that everything is so bizarre and unpredictable, if you give me a pen and paper, I will not be able to write such a story." So now I believe in fate to a certain extent. Maybe my life experiences have been written on papyrus by some god, and all I need is to follow the predetermined content step by step. ”
Chang Ji said: "If this is the case, I am really favored by that god. ”
Qianrou chuckled: "Don't complain so much, I understand that you will feel very uncomfortable with me by your side, but from another point of view, on the good side, with me by your side, you are also very safe." ”
Chang Ji said: "I have lived in the East Island all my life, even if the East Island has experienced an unprecedented catastrophe and was destroyed, I have escaped and persevered, do you think there will be anything else in this world that can hurt me? If it really exists, it is you." ”
Qianrou chuckled: "Many times you think that you have seen through your fate and are not afraid of anything, but believe me, when the cruel reality suddenly comes to you, it is absolutely difficult for you to accept." ”
Chang Ji suddenly smiled when he heard this: "It sounds like you are a person with a very good story, don't you have any insights in this regard?"
Qianrou looked at Chang Ji calmly and said, "If you are curious, I can tell you about it." ”
"Listen up. ”
Qian Ju said: "I just said that I have been dead for a long time. ”
"Very bizarre experience. Tsuneyoshi chimed in.
Qian Ju said: "Actually, my death at that time was very unexpected, and it can be said that it was completely unexpected. Especially the person who put me to death, I would never have thought of it. ”
"Betrayal?" asked Tsuneyoshi.
Qian Rou shook her head and said, "In comparison, betrayal is so gentle and friendly. ”
"The moment before I learned that I was dead, my heart was so hateful and unwilling, and at that moment my heart was full of madness that almost wanted to destroy the world. But that's what I can't do, and I can't even fight back against the people who hurt me. ”
"When the coldness and darkness of death hit me, and my sense of reason began to thin, the madness and hatred began to dissipate in my heart. ”
"I suddenly felt a sense of relief that I had never felt before, a sense of relief about the whole world. At that moment, I was willing to forgive all the mistakes in this world, and it didn't matter who hurt me in any way. Because the world will soon be irrelevant to me. ”
After saying that, Qianrou closed her eyes, and Chang Ji found that this woman who gave people a cold and piercing feeling had a kind of pity at this moment, which made people feel pain.
After feeling this, Chang Ji unconsciously hurriedly reminded himself not to have such dangerous empathy, in this world, rabbits sympathize with tigers is the most stupid and pathetic.
Soon Qianrou opened her eyes and continued: "Just like that, I entered death, and I slept in it for a long time. There was no anger or hatred in my heart during that time, only peace and tranquility, and it would have been nice if that feeling could have lasted, but my fate written on papyrus did not end so easily. ”
"Suddenly one day I came to life without warning, and I had a long sleep, and when I woke up, I found that the memories in my mind were still so vivid and clear, and everything that happened before my death was clearly preserved. As she spoke, Qianrou tapped her heart with her hand.
"What's that feeling?" asked Tsuneyoshi softly, whether the story he was telling was true or not, it had been very effective in attracting Tsuneyoshi.
Qian Rou said: "I don't have too many special feelings, after the surprise of the resurrection at the beginning, the whole person felt extremely angry, and the spearhead of that anger was the person who hurt me in the first place." Haha, it's funny, at the last moment of my life, I forgave everything, and I don't want it to end up in a puddle of nothing. Obviously, I can't be a saint, or maybe the hatred is too unforgettable. ”
Chang Ji nodded, as if he understood, and then asked again: "Since you hate in your heart, have you ever taken revenge?"
"Naturally, I want to take revenge, but where do I go to take revenge? Death is only a dreamless dream for me for a short time, but for this 'living' world, this time is really not short. Those who have hurt me, those friends of my people have long been buried in this surging history. ”
Tsuneyoshi suddenly chuckled and said, "It sounds like the story of Taro Urashima." ”
Qian Rou was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she chuckled and said, "From what you say, these two are really a little similar, and perhaps the biggest difference is that I don't have a jade box in my hand." ”
Chang Ji said: "It's a lucky thing not to have a jade box in your hand, otherwise who can resist the temptation to open the box?"
Qianrou shook her head and said, "Urashima may not be unable to resist temptation, but he wants to return to his truest self in this way. ”
Chang Ji stared at Qianrou, and after a moment, he whispered, "Have you ever thought about returning to your true self?"
Qianrou chuckled, "Are you persuading me to die early?"
Chang Ji shrugged his shoulders and said, "These are two different things. ”
Qianrou took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it." Maybe going back to the real world would be a great option, but I'm not going to do that. ”
Chang Ji said: "I can't see that your rebellious heart is still very strong." ”
Qianjuu said: "This is not a rebellious problem, but the simplest logical problem. ”
"As far as Urashima is concerned, he only spent three days in the Dragon Palace, and no matter what kind of 'time exchange' the Dragon Palace has with the present world, it is only a short part of his life. Three days for a lifetime, this is obviously an unfair thing. ”
"Perhaps the most hateful of the whole incident is the princess of the Dragon Palace, who spent three happy days with Urashima, but completely hid all the secrets from Urashima. In the end, he handed over the jade box to Urashima. Whatever the hidden meaning may be, I think it's the most vicious of all. Urashima was invited to the Dragon Palace for saving the turtle, but what he got was outright 'revenge'. ”
Chang Ji nodded and said, "Hearing you say this, this story doesn't seem to be so beautiful. ”
Qianjuu said: "This is not a beautiful story, I felt very disgusted when I first heard this story, and there was an indescribable depression in my chest. Tokichi only smiled faintly at this.
Qianrou suddenly said to Chang Ji: "Have you ever thought about this question, if Pu Dao hadn't opened the jade box in the first place, what would he do?"
Chang Ji said: "Who knows, maybe I will accept the reality and live again." ”
Qianrou didn't speak, just looked at Chang Ji quietly, and after a long time, she said, "If you were Urashima, would you do that?"
This question suddenly stopped Chang Ji, and his whole person was stunned.
The icy rain not only slapped on his body, but eventually trickled down the streamlined shape of his raincoat and dripped into the dirt.
"No, I wouldn't do that. Chang Ji's voice suddenly became a little hoarse.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qianrou's mouth, and then she said softly, "Then what will you do?"
"Revenge. ”
The cold words finally came out of Tsuneyoshi's mouth.
Qian Rou was very satisfied with this answer, and nodded and said: "This is reasonable, I believe that a normal person will make such a choice." ”
With that, Qianrou took a few steps forward gently, and a few clear delicate footprints appeared on the dirt floor.
In the case of Urashima, he has several options. First, he found a way to return to the Dragon Palace, continue his drunken life, and escape the tragedy that happened to him. ”
"The second is to choose revenge, to take revenge on the gods of the Dragon Palace who deceived him, maybe the road is rugged and bumpy, but the landing of the Divine Turtle is also powerless, as long as he calculates, he can also make the Dragon Palace pay a heavy price for this. ”
"Urashima is not a bad man, but he also does not have the courage to choose revenge. Maybe it's because of the servility in his bones. In the end, he chose another path, a very tragic truth for him - to end his own life. ”
"I don't know if Urashima forgave the world in the last moments of his life, but his thoughts didn't help the world after all. The world never cares what the weak think. ”
Chang Ji looked at Qianrou, he didn't know what the woman in front of him had experienced, but he knew that the woman in front of him was definitely not the honest Urashima Taro.
No matter what the "Dragon Palace" he is facing, it is the object of revenge for him.
Qianrou knew how Chang Ji was thinking about herself, and she was only making a final sigh.
"Hey, if Uradao hadn't opened that jade box in the first place, it would have been great!"
