Chapter 8 Freedom
It was late at night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Akali sat on the slump, her arms folded around her legs, her chin resting lightly on her knees.
The bright moonlight spilled into the house through the window paper, washing everything quietly and lonely.
Balanced ...... A lie?
Shen has been in retreat for a few days. The whole denomination is doing it.
She was saddened by the vanishing of ordinary dreams of happiness, but she wasn't that kind of woman, she knew her duty as a Shadow Fist, and she was more obsessed with Shen's last words.
"Quit ****. Ruthless and impartial. Accept the Tao by example. There is no self, only balance. β
- Is that the creed of the Eye of Twilight?
Everything that has been heard and seen for a long time is finally connected at this point.
Twilight's Eye has always been regarded as the perfect divinity of the human body as the carrier of the Equilibrium Sect, he always makes the best judgments, always thinks about everything like a god, and wields the balance of the world in the palm of his hand, as easily as adjusting the scales in front of him.
It's not because he has extraordinary wisdom, it's not because he has great strength, it's like standing on a high place and looking down on the world and all living beings.
Instead, he relied on some kind of forbidden technique to extract all the seven emotions and six desires of people out of the body, and then used the ninjutsu like sΓ©ance to invite the cold and ruthless but penetrating divine consciousness into the world, and fill the cavity that extracted human desires.
He must be strong enough to be a surrogate of divine consciousness. He must be firm enough to keep out of his consciousness the humanity and desires that are born of the mortal womb of the flesh, so that the wise and far-sighted consciousness can occupy the magpie's nest for a long time.
That's why my father never saw my mother, and only my mother pulled her to adulthood from childhood to adulthood, and didn't say a word about my father's affairs. Therefore, the Shadow Fist can always have enough good ninjutsu and physical talent to pass it on from generation to generation......
Because Shadow Fist is nothing more than ...... Tools?
"What is the way of balance, what is the restraint of power! It is clear that he wants to choose the strongest person among the hundreds of disciples to be the eye of twilight, and he clearly believes in strength from the bottom of his bones, but he wants to say words to restrain power, so that the weak can feel at ease, and let the strong regard power as a sin on their backs, so that they are willing to bow down and use the power given by God to desperately protect the fig leaf of the mediocre and weak. That's the lie of equilibrium! β
The words she had said before she left years ago burst into her mind.
The wind suddenly blew the window open, and my thoughts were broken.
She got out of bed and walked to the wind-blown window, and in a trance she seemed to see the familiar shadow, but it was a false hallucination, and it disappeared like a bubble.
Is it a robbery?
It was also a clean moonlit night in front of me.
β¦β¦
That moonlit night was a long, long time ago, and that day she followed the most withdrawn child in the class, the boy with special silver-white hair.
Lately he's been looking sneaky.
In the past, as soon as he finished training, he sat alone in the corner of the dojo, no one wanted to approach him, and the boys deliberately kicked him when they played with the ball, and he just stared blankly at the ground, like a poor stray dog.
Akali was trained by her mother alone since she was a child, and the activity area was completely different from that of the students of the Balanced School, but she could often see his lonely shadow, and she wanted to walk over more than once and be the boy's friend, but the students knew that she was the daughter of the Shadow Fist, and the high ponytail made her young face look both capable and beautiful, and whenever she walked into the dojo, she would be surrounded by the students enthusiastically, and by the time she sent away the precocious little boy, the figure of the boy was long gone.
But he seemed to have changed lately, and she saw that there seemed to be a light in his eyes, and he always left in a hurry after school and went in the direction of the back mountain.
In a place like Houshan, the mountains and forests are hidden, and the shadows and shadows will always be dyed with wonderful colors in the hearts of young people, as if there are some ghosts and spirits hidden between those silent mountain rocks and streams.
She had finally stalked the robbery that day, and found it, where weeds and shrubs had obscured the entrance, and the ancient walls were full of vines and plants, some of which had stubbornly taken root on the masonry surface, and it was hard to make out an ancient wall even if you looked closely, and no one would have thought that there was an equally old temple in the middle of the wall.
The courtyard of the ruined temple is full of weeds and ancient trees, and even in the interior of the temple, there is an ancient towering tree that has struck through the tiles on the roof of the temple, pulling out the joints to the sky, hiding the ancient temple under its own luxuriant branches and leaves.
Akali tried not to make a noise from her movements, and approached the ruined temple in the center.
Until she heard the sound of shuriken flying, and then the sound and shaking of the iron as it was driven into the wood.
It turned out that he was practicing secretly here, secretly in a place where there were no strange eyes and ridicule from others.
Akali decided to hide secretly, and when his tired body relaxed his tense spirit after the practice of Zai, she suddenly attacked, and in the end, she did take the Zai by surprise and was satisfied with the achievement of collecting the frightened expression of the paralyzed face of the Zai.
She looked at the expression that was incompatible with her usual robbery, and held her stomach and laughed for a long time.
"Ahem!" Coughing solemnly twice, Akali finally began to introduce herself: "My name is Akali, and I am ......"
"Shadow Fist." The eyes of the robbery were serious.
"Hey, you kid knows each other a lot."
"There's no one here who doesn't know." "A unique secret inheritance, someone who is destined to be a Shadow Warrior when he grows up." β
Akali read the envy in his eyes, and she had grown up in the envious gaze of all. The Shadow Warrior is indeed the most glorious title in the Equilibrium Sect, and only the most prestigious warriors can inherit those three titles - Shadow Fist, Berserk Heart, and Twilight Eye.
But......
"Shadow Fist...... That kind of thing, I don't ...... at all Not care. "The little fist is clenched tightly." What I was just trying to say is, it's your new friend......"
"Why ......"
"I won't tell you!"
Luckily, Akali's gloom came and went as quickly as her sunny personality, and soon she happily declared her possession of the ruined temple - from now on, this is our secret base, and we will make more friends in the future.
She and Zai shared their own lunches, and they sat together on the stone steps in front of the temple. The night breeze that day was fresh, there seemed to be a sweet aroma of blades of grass in the air, and the rustling of insects was like a soft feather, gently stirring in the ears.
Akali lowered her head and looked at the ants swirling on the ground, unable to find an exit. "Actually, I've always been scared of growing up. I hate Twilight Eyes. I hate ...... Life without my father, I never met him, and my mother did not mention him, as if he was a person who did not exist at all, and only in others could I hear about his existence...... Of course, he's the most powerful Twilight-Eyed Adult. But what about ...... I never saw him until he was killed outside, nor did I see him. He didn't say a word to me...... I haven't written a letter, I haven't piggybacked a word, and I hate being at home where my mother is alone...... Whether it's glory or greatness, even if Twilight Eye is really the ninja god in everyone's mouth...... I hate Twilight Eyes, and I hate Shadow Fist stuff even more...... The Shadow Fist is nothing more than a bride for the Eye of Twilight...... Everything is a balanced will...... Everything was arranged...... Including me, including my obnoxious dad and hard mom...... What's the point of living like that? β
"Nothing can't be changed. Even though everyone treats me badly now, as long as I become stronger, as long as I can throw all the shuriken into the dummy's chest every time I am in front of everyone, they will definitely say, 'It's a great robbery'...... That must be fine. He said, the silver-white moonlight shining on his face, and something seemed to sparkle in his eyes.
"I'll be the eye of twilight." There was silence in the air for a moment, and he suddenly said. "I'll take you away. I will...... Sets you free. β
