Chapter 222: The Way Back
Xu Xingkong grinned and shook his head:
"I don't think anyone in this world can exist alone, right? Who can survive on their own without being dependent on others? On the contrary, I think that we are more pitiful when our lives are short, and the girl can stay young forever, away from birth, old age, sickness and death, isn't it more fortunate than us? ”
Yan Zheng pursed his lips and smiled lightly, glanced at Yingying, who flashed a gloomy look in his eyes, and slowly shook his head and said:
"Stay away from birth, old age, sickness and death? Eternal life? Mr. Xu, I'm afraid this is not such a lucky thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh? Why? Generally speaking, isn't that what spiritual practice pursues? ”
Yingying, who had not spoken, smiled angrily and said:
"Sir, this will make people laugh when they say this, even if they are human cultivators, what they are pursuing is by no means immortality, or rather, immortality is just a by-product, and moreover, it is also something that cannot be obtained."
Xu Xingkong scratched his head with a dry smile and said:
"I just said it casually."
"Casually saying it exposes the fact that you are a monk halfway, hehe..."
Yan Zheng made Xu Xingkong's joke without fear, Xu Xingkong was not annoyed, but nodded with a smile and said:
"It's true, it's really wrong, but I'm still curious, what is it like to be immortal?"
Yan Zheng glanced at Ying Ying again, and this time Xu Xingkong also noticed it, but he didn't understand why he asked this question Yan Zheng went to see Ying Ying, does this question still involve the secrets of the demon clan?
"Oh, if it's something inconvenient to say, forget it, I'm just a little curious."
Yan Zheng put away the smile on his face, sighed slightly, and said a little lonely:
"It's no secret that a monster like me needs a long sleep every once in a while."
"Long sleep? Why? Evolution? ”
"It can be said that it is because we exist by gathering the minds of many people, but when the minds of these different people are gathered too much, our primordial spirit will be unstable, which requires time to sort out and digest these unstable thoughts, which is the essence of eternal sleep."
"Oh... I see, but it's nothing. ”
"Nothing? That's because you don't know the so-called digestion and tidying, in fact, is forgetting! In the process of long sleep, our memories will gradually fade, and only the most important and profound memories will be left behind. ”
"It's... It's a pity, but it's not too bad to be able to keep the most cherished memories. ”
Yan Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"The most cherished? Hehe, you only know that we can stay away from birth, old age, sickness and death through immortality, haven't you thought that there are things that we can't get rid of either? Mr. Xu, what do you think is the hardest thing in the world to forget? ”
Xu Xingkong frowned, the most unforgettable?
Is it family affection? Is it love? Or is it hatred?
"This... Maybe it varies from person to person, right? ”
Yan Zheng shook his head again, sighed and said:
"Those who have lost their souls, only farewell! I have slept several times, and all that remains in my memory is the sorrow engraved in my heart when I parted with my dearest. ”
Yan Zheng's voice fell, Xu Xingkong and Ying Ying were speechless, and after a while, Yan Zheng said leisurely:
"So, after the long sleep, I am more eager to use love to heal the scars in my heart, but this will only bring the next scars, isn't it ridiculous, immortality is just an infinite cycle of harm for me, sometimes I feel that I should give up, but I can't help but fantasize that the next time maybe I will remember even a little happiness and not all sadness."
Looking at Yan Zheng with an indifferent expression, Xu Xingkong didn't know what to say, although Yan Zheng said it very sadly, but Xu Xingkong didn't empathize, but felt that Yan Zheng was a little too literate, happiness or sadness, in fact, it was just the perspective of looking at the problem, besides, as a monster, wouldn't you find a monster who is as immortal as you as a companion?
Of course, these words are unspeakable, after all, it is really bad to burn the qin and cook the crane cow and chew the peony, and Xu Xingkong doesn't want to be beaten by these two women, so he simply picks up the wine glass in front of him and bows his head to drink, but to be honest, this flower drink is really good wine.
Xu Xingkong borrowed wine and escaped, Yingying couldn't help but smile when she saw this, she could probably guess what Xu Xingkong thought, but her understanding of Yan Zheng was not comparable to Xu Xingkong, therefore, the facts she knew were not what Xu Xingkong thought, for Yan Zheng, the most terrible thing was that she would always forget the person she once loved no matter what, and forget the happy feeling she once had, but she could only remember the sad fragments and unforgettable heartache, which may be the price of immortality.
It's just that these are Yan Zheng's most private secrets, Ying Ying naturally won't say it, and Yan Zheng doesn't mean to say it.
"Well, everything has a price, and everyone is the same."
Ying Ying smiled and broke the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Yan Zheng also smiled when she heard this, took a sip of wine and said:
"Who says it's not, it's not easy to live, okay, I've drunk wine and gossip, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Ying Ying smiled and nodded, looked left and right, and said:
"Let's change places."
Yan Zheng smiled and nodded, Xu Xingkong naturally had no objections, and he could change his mood by changing places.
......
Xiao Lu looked at the photo in his hand with joy, this is Yan Zheng's signature photo, according to Xiao Lu, Yan Zheng's appearance in ancient costume has never appeared in other public media, this photo is absolutely out of print, what makes her even happier is that it also has the words 'Xiao Lu Save' written on it.
Of course, this photo could not have appeared in the media, because it was only taken today, and it was not only Yan Zheng who took photos at that time, but also a photo of Xu Xingkong and Yan Zheng, which was a condition for Yan Zheng to agree to sign Xiaolu, and she also asked Xu Xingkong to sign his name on the group photo.
Although Yan Zheng's request was a little inexplicable, Xu Xingkong still agreed, he is not a celebrity, and presumably Yan Zheng will not use this photo to make any articles. Xu Xingkong privately guessed that the reason why Yan Zheng did this was maybe just to leave some memories, and perhaps, when she woke up from a long sleep next time, she could try to find her past footprints.
The bluetooth headset on the table is the song "Memory" of Yan Zheng, the soft and clear singing voice is like heaven, Xu Xingkong stood by the window, overlooking the city in the twilight, and turned his head after a while, and found that Xiaolu was still holding the photo and looking left and right, and couldn't put it down, he couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Do you like Yan Zheng so much?"
"Of course, I like her the most, but unfortunately, I couldn't meet her."
"Well, next time you have a chance, speaking of which, what do you like about her? Love her songs? ”
"That's right, her song can be sung directly to people's hearts, that voice is ethereal with a little sadness, and there is a feeling of sourness in my heart when I listen to it, I like it very much."
"Ethereal with a hint of sadness? Hehe... I don't think she's a faint sadness, she's just using the ethereal to hide the heart-wrenching sadness. ”
Xiao Lu looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise, his big eyes were full of curiosity.
"Huh? You... How will you know? Did she tell you? ”
Xu Xingkong shook his head and said:
"I guess."
"Guess? Why? ”
Xu Xingkong turned around, leaned his back against the windowsill and asked with a smile:
"You're so happy to be here, why didn't you think how I would see Yan Zheng? Supposedly, there should be no intersection between me and a superstar. ”
"Huh? Oh, yes... She... She's not an ordinary person?! ”
"Congratulations, you got it right!"
Xu Xingkong slapped his palms lightly, and without waiting for Xiaolu to continue to ask, Xu Xingkong roughly told about today's meeting with Yan Zheng, Xiaolu was surprised to hear it, of course, more envy.
"Xiaolu, if it were you, would you forget all the beautiful and happy memories, and only the gloom and sorrow of parting remained? I always feel that Yan Zheng's mentality is too negative? ”
Xiao Lu looked at Xu Xingkong, who looked very casual, and shook his head and said:
"No, I don't think so, if I were her, I would be left with nothing but sorrow."
Xu Xingkong looked at the path in surprise:
"Why?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Lu shook his head with a smile and said:
"You don't understand it, it's a woman's way of thinking."
Xu Xingkong looked at Xiaolu without giving up, but Xiaolu shook his head very firmly and chuckled, but he was resolutely not ready to explain, Xu Xingkong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly:
"You women are really hard to understand."
"Whoever said it, it's actually very easy to understand, the key is whether you are willing to understand it or not. Okay, let's not talk about this, did you see a lot of demons today? Also, the next time I go to see Yingzhen, can you let me see it too, the little girl you like so much must be super cute. ”
"This is okay, but you have to get the approval of Yingzhen's mother first, as for the demon clan, I really saw a lot of them today, all kinds of demon clans."
Xu Xingkong paused when he said this, and his face gradually became a little serious, and he continued:
"You must not guess, what is the deepest impression I have after seeing those demon clans today?"
"What is it? Are they too weird? ”
Xu Xingkong shook his head:
"No, on the contrary, my deepest impression is that these demon clans are actually no different from us, they are just living, including Yan Zheng, or should I say, they are even more serious about living and living than us. Compared to them, I think it's a little strange that we practitioners seem to be focused on distancing ourselves from life, don't you think that's ridiculous? ”
Xiao Lu thought hard for a while, then blinked his eyes and replied apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say."
Xu Xingkong waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I just said it casually, I used to think that the demon clan should be like us, spending every moment in hard cultivation, in order to save my life in the future when fighting, and to fight for more victories for my camp, but the situation I saw today made me a little unacceptable. But in fact, this is not surprising, after all, these guys are all demon clans who are unwilling to participate in the battle. ”
Xiao Lu nodded as if he didn't understand, hesitated and said:
"Xu Xing, I hate fighting, especially after I become like this, if possible, I also want to live freely, just like before, I think, everyone... No, there must be a lot of people who think the same way as me... And youkai... bar. ”
Xu Xingkong looked at the path with some guilt, nodded and said:
"You're right, who doesn't want to live a good life, then again, in fact, life is the important thing, fighting, it should only be a means to be able to continue living, I found that I was completely off track during this time, thank you for the path, maybe I found my way back, thank you."
"Well, no thanks."
Xiao Lu smiled happily, pursed his lips and looked away and shook his head slightly, fiddling with the photo in his hand with joy. (To be continued.) )
