070 The Beginning and End of Everything Have Nothing to Do with the World (Part II)
The Gate of Truth.
In the canons and legends, the gate of truth, the door through which the worldly man must pass when he becomes holy, is both a test and an approval.
Recognize the ability of the examinee and test the examinee at the same time.
Every time he thought about this, the corners of the mouth of the blonde young man who was staring at the black gate would unnaturally rise.
Ye Xian, who was an atheist in his previous life, never believed in the teachings and legends of Lao Shizi, and at that time, in his opinion, these things were all made up by people to deceive people.
Even after he crossed over and saw the door of truth in the canon with his own eyes, his mind did not change in the slightest.
Therefore, during the period when he left the bereavement body and did not belong to the 'system', he had a very comfortable life on the side of the gate of truth.
Yes, pleasantly.
After talking to Musuke last time and telling him the last thing he had left in his heart and not giving to him, he finally felt relieved.
The memories of the past, the calculations and plans in the alchemy world, the calculations of Celsus and the Gate, the initial grievances and dissatisfaction when he came to the Hokage world, disguised as the joy of systematically teaching bereavement and making bereavement...
He left all of this behind and lived comfortably in the endless space of the Gate of Truth, where time could not be felt.
- Give up thinking, don't think about calculating life.
If the white guy on the other side of the door, who was lying on the ground and looked very girly with his cheeks propped up, didn't exist, I believe his enjoyment would have increased by three hundred percent.
Thinking of this, Ye Xian's gaze towards the white figure naturally brought a little dissatisfaction.
Just as Ye Xian thought before, the white humanoid didn't care about him, the white humanoid as the embodiment of truth lay motionless on the ground, and his gaze always stayed on the dark door.
After looking at the white figure for a while, Ye Xian withdrew his gaze and conjured a book with a red cover from his hand out of thin air.
He was going to read a book and pass the time.
But before he could turn the page, an inaudible whisper came from the other side of the door.
Ye Xian turned his head to look, and the white figure was still in the same girlish posture as before, but its hand holding its cheek trembled slightly.
It seems to be... Astonished?
Looking at the door with the gaze of the white humanoid, the pitch-black gate still stood quietly, but the surface of the gate was not as smooth as a mirror as before, and scratches appeared on the door of truth in a regular manner.
In a few moments, a simple golden scale carved pattern loomed on the dark door.
As the carving of the scale becomes clearer and more perfect, the things on the pallets on both sides of the scale also become clearer.
"Interesting..."
Ye Xian, who was staring at the tray on the left side of the scale, said with interest, "It's actually a sword, what is written on the sword? modesty, tolerance, bravery, diligence, generosity, temperance, chastity..."
Ye Xian's expression, which had finished reading the words engraved on the sword, became strange, and those seven words were not unfamiliar to him at all.
A long sword engraved with the Seven Virtues?
Before Ye Xian digested the newly obtained information, the snow-white figure on the other side of the scale spoke.
"On the right side of the scale is a hammer, and the carved thing on the hammer, I think you can guess it. ”
"Hmm... There are only seven deadly sins that can be compared to the seven virtues and are balanced on the scale. ”
"Help that kid... Finally figured it out. ”
"The source of his strength. ”
A smile appeared on Ye Xian's face, and he stood in front of the Gate of Truth of Mourning, quietly staring at the golden scales on the Gate of Truth.
At the same time, a pitch-black door silently appeared behind him.
"Is this your door to truth?"
The snow-white figure looked at Ye Xian's Gate of Truth with interest, this was the first time he had seen Ye Xian's Gate of Truth.
The 'Gate of Truth' that people outside this world have.
In contrast to the Gate of Truth of Help, Ye Xian's Gate of Truth is very strange, because on his Gate of Truth, the door on the right side is as smooth as a mirror.
On the left half of the door, there is no complicated carving, and there are only 12 very simple words and 24 characters on it.
Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness.
"The door of truth possessed by people from other worlds is indeed strange..."
"No, it's just that my door is peculiar. ”
Ye Xian said indifferently: "Of this door, only the left half is mine." ”
"And the other half, it's mine. ”
A voice came from the end of the snow-white, the snow-white figure and Ye Xian looked at each other, and at the end of the snow-white, a black dot suddenly appeared.
The voice just now came from the black dot.
At the same time, the black dot was constantly enlarged, and it was vaguely visible that it was a black dot in the shape of a human.
Facing the black dots flying towards the two, Ye Xian and the snow-white figure did not have the slightest surprise or surprise.
Needless to say, the snow-white human form naturally knew the slightest change in this space as the embodiment of truth, and it was aware of the moment the black dot appeared, even if it knew the identity of the black dot early.
Compared to the snow-white humanoid, Ye Xian did not have control over this space, but he also had his own way to perceive the changes.
For example, the door of truth that suddenly appeared behind him, and the extremely unnatural tremor that came from the depths of his soul.
"I'm coming. ”
Footsteps came from behind him, and the blonde boy stood beside the snow-white figure, his tone calm.
"Come on, why are you so polite?"
"Blonde boy."
"If you don't need to bring a gift, bring it back. Ye Xian's tone was full of resentment.
“... You're still in the mood for a joke, so it looks like you expected this to happen. The mourner looked at the friend who was also a teacher and friend not far away.
"Hmm. Ye Xian said, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at all. ”
"...... didn't expect you to be what the hell you are.
"Since he's here, it also says something. Ye Xian smiled at Fu Zhu, "Celsus has no interest in your world, he has not thought about bringing innovative reforms to your world, nor has he thought about becoming a demon king who destroys the world, and he has no interest in becoming the dark emperor of the world. ”
............: "These are actually the things you want to do, right?"
"His goal seems to have always been me. ”
Ye Xian was a little emotional, and the smile on his face was also a little bitter, "I always thought that after experiencing those things, his resentment should disappear a lot, and after getting a new body in the new world, it is natural that he should choose to start over, to be a good person who guards the world, or to be a demon to stir up the wind and rain, and experience a different life." ”
"Now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on my part. ”
The black dots in the distance gradually enlarged to the size of a child, and Celsus's smiling face was clearly visible.
"Since he hasn't let go of those things in the past, then I can only accompany him to pick up those things. ”
"As much as I would love to say 'everything is the fault of the world', at the end of the day, it has nothing to do with the world. ”
"The beginning of all this, regardless of the world, is all because of me. ”
Celsus's figure was approaching, and the black rod in his hand was clearly visible.
"Well, then, it's time for me to end too. ”
The figure flashed, and Ye Xian held two short knives in his hands and met Nacersus.
"Celsus !!"
"Ye Xian !!"
