Chapter 279: The Lost Heart (1)
In March, the valley of the underworld, far away from the hustle and bustle, is the opposite of the terrifying image rumored by the outside world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After a few light rains, the entire Netherworld Valley is in the spring season, full of flowers and birds. The valley is full of verdant greenery, like an isolated peach orchard.
Duan Chengcheng's injuries were gradually improving under the old man's careful care, and although he was still weak, he was able to walk around on the ground.
She sat alone at the water's edge, idly staring in the direction of the mouth in a daze. Her thin silhouette is reflected in the blue water, and as the wind blows across the water, the image is virtual and real, so real.
The morning sun was still cool, shining on her pale cheeks through the light clouds, and the slender scar was still not erased, and the traces were clear, making the original unparalleled face lose a little color, which only increased regret.
But she didn't seem to care about it, staring at that place with a blank expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Since Gongzi Xuan left the Netherworld Valley, no other outsiders have broken into this pure land.
She had heard from her predecessors that the entrance to this place had been manipulated by him, and that ordinary people could not pass through that maze unless he wanted to. So these days, she lived very peacefully in the valley, such days were what she longed for in the past but could not get, but now she realized when she was unwilling, now she seems to be calm, and there is no moment when that heart is truly calm.
Her physical injuries have healed, but her previous skills have not recovered. The seniors said that most of her muscles and veins were broken, and her martial arts were lost, and now she is just a useless waste, which makes her worse than dead......
"If you don't have martial arts, you won't die, but you just become an ordinary person, is it so difficult for you to accept?" The old man didn't know when he came, standing not far from her, and his tone was very helpless.
"Ordinary people......" She didn't look back when she heard the voice, just stared at her weak hands, her expression was cold, "Now I am a wasted person." ”
"According to what you say, there are thousands of people in the world who don't know martial arts, are they all wasted? They don't have martial arts, but they know how to keep themselves alive, and what about you? The old man didn't look at her, but with a somewhat reprimanding tone, "You are indeed different from them, with the way you are now, you are not worthy of being compared with them at all, let alone alive......"
When she heard this, her heart was pressed by a gravity, which made people breathless.
"Really?" She pretended to be fine, and a sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of her lips, "Since you know that I am not worthy, then why save me." ”
"I said, why are you so ignorant?" The old man was so angry with her words that he was about to jump to his feet, and without saying a word, he raised his foot and kicked her into the water.
"What are you doing!" Duan Tingcheng reacted that he was already in the water. The lake water in March was still cold, and this sudden cold penetrated into the bone marrow, startling every nerve in the body, and the wound in the chest once again sent an unspeakable pain.
"Although your father is a muddy boy, he is considered a wise man when he dies, but why did he give birth to such an idiot as you?" The old man half-squatted on the shore and looked at her, but he only squatted on the shore and watched her flutter in the water, "Don't you want to die?" If you have the ability, don't come up, just drown now! ”
The old man was so angry that his beard trembled, and he watched her soak in the water, and did not pull her up. Her current temperament is completely used to by a group of ignorant people, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is, and she has no human touch at all......
Duan Chengcheng listened to his words in the water, and was angry for a while, she didn't speak, she closed her eyes and leaned back, and simply fell into the water, letting herself slowly sink to the bottom. She simply stopped fluttering and left herself to fend for herself.
"You stinky girl, you have a lot of skills, you can still ......" The old man saw her sink herself to the bottom of the water, and suddenly became even more angry, and as he spoke, he got up and swept over the water, and with a light tap of his toes on the water, he fished her up from the water, and threw her to the shore in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were closed, the old man pointed to her a few acupuncture points, and the palm force that was not light or heavy fell, forcing her to choke on a mouthful of water, and the person who had closed her eyes just now woke up again, and the bright sun fell in her eyes, and she was sour for a while.
"Don't threaten others with death! How many people do you think you've bought your life for now? In addition to revenge, have you done anything worthy of your parents over the years? The old man stood on the shore and looked at her with a very serious face, "You were born as a human being, but you don't know what is the way to be a human being, you are embarrassed to seek death, think about it yourself......"
The old man stopped looking at her, sighed to himself, and let the injured man lie on the shore like a chicken in soup, and turned to leave.
"Who the hell are you......" As the old man turned around, she finally opened her mouth and asked again the question she had asked many times and never answered.
When the old man heard this, he stopped slightly, raised his eyes to look at the floating clouds above the valley, and looked far away.
"I used to take in an apprentice, but unfortunately that kid's life was too short, and he died for fifteen years." After he had finished speaking, he walked away with his feet up, all the way back to the house.
Duan Chengcheng sat up from the cold ground, she turned her head to look at the old man's back, until the man got into the kitchen and never came back again.
Oh, I see......
She raised her eyes to look at the floating clouds, and the doubts and confusion in her eyes seemed to loosen a little. What is born to be a human being and what is the way to be a human being, this kind of inexplicable question, the ghost knows what the answer is......
She never thought that she could still live this time, and she never thought that she had any other reason for living than revenge. The predecessor is right, she has lived all these years, and she has never thought about what she is living for.
Killing became a habit, and killing would become a matter of course, but when she herself became a helpless person, she began to fear, the fear of the weak, the fear of being burdened with sin and blood.
In the past, she relied on her peerless martial arts to kill the Quartet in order to take revenge, but she never seemed to care about what it meant to kill. I never thought about how many people like her had been created with my own hands on the road of seeking revenge......
She stood up on her own, her hair and clothes were covered with mud and sand, and her wet clothes stuck to her body, and the wind blew through her, making people tremble unconsciously.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally went back to the house, and found an old dress in the house that had been left for an unknown amount of time to change, although it was a little worn, but it was better than just freezing to death.
Maybe the old-timer was right, she was a stupid person who didn't even understand what human nature was. If such a stupid person no longer knows what is good or bad, then he will not even be qualified to die...... (To be continued.) )
