Downing sat cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by a few bronze coins and a palm-sized fragment of a tortoise shell. He stared blankly at the compass in his hand, his face pale.

The red hand on the compass spun rapidly, and more than ten minutes have passed, and there is still no sign of stopping. This will only happen if the target cannot be found. Tang Ning's head was sweating, and he tried again and again without believing in evil, but the result remained the same.

Failed, the path didn't work.

"Downing, how's it going? Can you find Xu Mengfei's location? Zhou Yu, who moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, didn't understand this, and saw that Tang Ning put down the compass and seemed to have stopped casting spells. He couldn't wait to ask.

Tang Ning shook his head and said with a gloomy face: "No." Someone casts a spell to interfere. ”

"The compass doesn't work, then try something else." Zhou Yu grabbed the copper coins and turtle shells on the bed and sent them to Tang Ning. Looking at him anxiously.

Tang Ning stared at Zhou Yu's bloodshot eyes, his lips pursed and he shook his head. Said: "Looking for people and things, the most suitable prop is only the compass." Or the astrology of a Western sorcerer could have done it, but I don't think it worked. ”

"Why?" Zhou Yu said urgently.

In his eyes, Tang Ning has always been omnipotent. There should be nothing in this world that can stump him. This is the typical one-sided, limited worship psychology of young people. Zhou Yu forgot that the world is so big. Downing is good, he is good. No matter who has cultivated to the top, no one dares to say that they are omnipotent. No one dares to guarantee that they will be invincible in the world. Able to face anything without deterring.

When it comes to worrying about Xu Mengfei, he is not inferior to Tang Ning. After all, it was once the girl who made his heart move. Now she has been promoted to "sister-in-law". But the fear of love has not changed. In terms of identity, she is her brother's girlfriend and sister-in-law. It's also a little sister who needs to be cared for and protected.

Tang Ning slowly put down the things in his hand and explained to Zhou Yu in a hoarse voice.

"Everyone who lives in the world has an invisible line of destiny. Both the compass and the astrology are used to cast spells through the guò medium to lock the fate line and find the target, but if there is a magician who deliberately blocks the heavenly machine. Unless the caster's own cultivation is higher than the other party's, no one can do anything. ”

"What then?"

Tang Ning looked at him and snorted coldly. I got out of bed, took out a few things from the box under the bed, and took them with me. As soon as Qiē was ready, a few traces of anger flashed in Tang Ning's eyes. Gritted his teeth and said, "Go straight to the door." ”

"Do you know who did it?"

"Not sure, but no one else but them."

"So what are you waiting for? Walk. I'll go with you. ”

"Nope."

Tang Ning didn't think about it, and directly refused, which made Zhou Yu's face very ugly. "What? Think I'm a burden? ”

Tang Ning said: "No, you have to stay at home and wait for Jiang Tao's news." ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay." Be careful yourself. ”

"Hmm."

Tang Ning had just taken two steps out when he was suddenly stunned. At the same time, Zhou Yu's eyes were dull, and his body froze in place.

Tang Ning turned around slowly, and his gaze met Zhou Yu's gaze that slowly shone brightly.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, his anxious expression was obviously lighter than before. He opened his eyes and said, "I think we overlooked one thing. Then he apologized to Tang Ning: "I'm sorry, people say they care, it's messy." I didn't expect this to happen to me. I've always thought I'm smart. Shame on you. ”

The stone in Tang Ning's heart, which had been pressing him out of breath, seemed to have disappeared suddenly. The nerves, which were already on the verge of collapse, showed signs of healing. There was a light-hearted smile on his face.

"I don't blame you. Me too. Tang Ning sighed and said, "In the end, we have experienced too little. It's a little tender. ”

"Hehe, too, pay attention next time."

At the same time, the two figured out an important key point that they had previously overlooked. The countermeasures have changed accordingly. It's no longer clueless, I'm in a hurry there, I'm worried.

"What's next? Just waiting? ”

"Hmm. Wait. Downing went back to bed and lay there with his back to the sky. I guess it's time soon. Their purpose is in the baby. Feifei's safety does not have to worry. ”

"I know that, but, Downing. You? ”

"Me? What, you're worried that I won't be able to give up that set of treasures? ”

Zhou Yu was lying beside Tang Ning, also holding his head with both hands, and looking at the ceiling with his eyes.

"I don't know anything about the thaumaturgical world, but I've seen a lot of things since I followed you, and I can think of some of them. Today's thaumaturgical world is not like the era of the old age, when a hundred doors bloomed and a thousand factions bloomed. There is no shortage of all kinds of natural treasures, magic weapons and props. Take it now, any magic weapon in the true sense or a heavenly treasure that can improve one's own cultivation can make countless people fight for their heads and blood, and even die for it. Their value cannot be deduced by common sense, let alone measured. ”

"In this day and age, power and power are the aspects of influence, and power is the foundation of control. As long as you have great power, power, status, cheesy money, women, you can have whatever you want. In a word, it can make countless lives or deaths. Ordinary people in the secular world seek power, and people in the spiritual world crave more powerful and unmatched power. For men, especially those who are ambitious and unwilling to be relegated to the bottom of the pyramid. As long as it is for the sake of strength, the rest of the qiē can be discarded. ”

Zhou Yu's special background environment has made him accustomed to all kinds of selfishness and all kinds of people since he was a child. He doesn't believe that there are pure good people in this world, and he doesn't believe that there are men in this world who don't have any selfish thoughts. Especially the kind of man who has kung fu and great ability.

Love, this kind of thing for a man, maybe her weight will be very heavy, but the score is clear and what to compare with. When necessary, when it is time to make trade-offs, they are often thrown off like torn clothes. No matter what kind of affection, family affection, love, or friendship between brothers. The bonds that should be broken, in the face of cruel and ugly reality, will be brittle and even inferior to egg shells. Crackling, it's worthless to shatter.

Think about it from another angle, if there is a super killer weapon in front of him that can make him challenge and kill people by leapfrogging. And on the other end was a woman he liked. The condition is that if he wants to have the big killer weapon in front of him, he must exchange it for the woman he likes. He couldn't guarantee what he would think. And either outcome is possible. Zhou Yu knows himself and knows that he is not the kind of person who is unkind, but in the face of irresistible temptation, it is difficult for him not to be moved. This has nothing to do with the norms of being a human being, it is purely the most primitive human nature.

Human nature is elusive. Human nature is hard to define. At the beginning of man, nature is good. This three-character scripture, which has been recited by the Chinese people for thousands of years, may have been wrong from the very beginning. At the beginning of human nature, it was evil.

Evil is not necessarily evil thoughts, but it can also be selfishness. 1. Maximize self-interest. Later, under the influence of the moral code, I gradually understood what selflessness is and what it means to be considerate of others. But at the same time, that trace of "evil" is in the depths of people's hearts, and it is believed that it will last forever. Good and evil coexist at the same time, and only then can one be a true and complete person.

Zhou Yu believes this. From the time he was sensible, he believed this. This is also why he gets along with people, no matter how close the relationship is, no matter how close the relationship is. He can block bullets for his brother, and he can die for his brother. But it doesn't mean that he is honest with people in his heart, and at any time, to anyone, he will not present himself completely and without reservation.

It may seem contradictory, but he is such a contradictory person. Honesty is relative. Selflessness and honesty are also relative.

He is not yet a member of the Qimen world, but he has already stepped into the gate of the Qimen world with one foot. He had also seen the bronze lanterns. A set of nine pieces. Nine ritual vessels. For Zhou Yu, a quasi-Qimen monk, of course he knew what this set of things represented. One is already a treasure, and nine is against the sky. Enough to make anyone lose their life for it. If you can throw away your life and give it up, is there anything more important in this world than your life?

Feelings, love, seventeen or eighteen-year-old half-grown boys, do you know what love is? Life has just begun, do you know what true love feelings are?

A set of treasures with functions against the sky and immature and ignorant feelings are placed on both ends of the scale. Different people will give different answers.

In a short period of time, Zhou Yu couldn't give an answer. Maybe he didn't want to give an answer.

For Tang Ning, he didn't believe it, let alone doubt his feelings for Xu Mengfei. However, he didn't know what Downing would choose when faced with this multiple-choice question.

He lay on the bed, turned his head, and his incomprehensible gaze locked tightly on the side of Tang Ning's face, locked the expression on his face, his gaze, his gaze.

Tang Ning also turned his head to look at him. He smiled and said, "What are you doubting about me?" ”

Tang Ning simply propped up his upper body and lay reclining, elbows on the bed, his hands supporting his cheeks. Looking at Zhou Yu, he asked in a different way: "What position do you think that set of ancient lamps is in my heart?" What is Feifei's position in my heart? ”

"It's a difficult question for me to answer. If in the past, I would say that Feifei is a qiē in your heart, but now, I can't guarantee it. I'm a man, and you're a man. Whether it's you and me, or Jiang Tao, or other men who have some abilities. I think everyone has a lion hidden in their hearts. No one is willing to be mediocre in this life. Everyone wants to see the scenery at the top. Everyone wants to try what it's like to cover the sky with one hand, turn over the clouds and rain, and dominate the world. It's better not to deny it to me, because I'll not believe it. ”

Tang Ning smiled again, and his words were very relaxed. He nodded, then shook his head again. "I admit what you say, but you still don't know me. Yes, we are still young and do not understand what real feelings are. For a beautiful girl like Xu Mengfei, who has good looks and temperament, she likes to account for nine points, and she can't even talk about love, because the meaning of the word love is too heavy, too deep, and too complicated. If we don't understand it, we are not qualified to say to a girl that I love her. It's not sincere, and it's not respectful to girls. But! ”
