Chapter 57: The boy who runs after the prisoner cart
What is persistence?
Persistence is when everyone is indifferent to you, but you are still alive like a dog. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What's more, not everyone in this world is indifferent to you, and there are so few people who will stand behind you, and when you lie back, they will stretch out their hands to support you, and they will not let you fall down in front of the crowd without dignity.
Li Jiawen's dead eyes had a hint of brilliance, he looked at the old man who stood up to encourage him at this time, and then smiled silently.
The old man laughed too, even as a fiery horse's hoof pierced through his heart.
It should have hurt, there was an extra hole in the chest, the cold wind blew, it was cold, and I didn't feel the slightest warmth.
Li Jiawen looked at the old man who slowly fell to the ground, and he laughed while crying.
If this is the calamity that must be faced in order to master the path of samsara, then please dry my tears, O sun, because my hands are too busy to dry my tears by myself, and one day, I will give life to all those who died because of me!
The old horse looked coldly at the others.
"There must have been many tyrants in your history, and now I am your tyrant. But I'm still quite sane, and there are many things that kill hundreds of thousands of enemy civilians and surrender troops at every turn, don't push me to that point, because I'm just a horse, a livestock that you keep shouting about. ”
The city lord swallowed his saliva, and then shouted to the civilians: "Don't mess around, it's going to be over soon, you must still want to go home and make lunch as usual, don't worry, don't mess up, calm down, really...... It's really fast, it's over. ”
His voice became smaller and smaller, and then he laughed wildly: "As the city lord, I can't protect you, I'm too incompetent, but it doesn't matter, although our bodies have not resisted, we know who we are in our hearts, and the faith in our hearts is immortal, even if we swallow humiliation on our knees, we are not ashamed!" ”
After speaking, he drew his long sword and slashed himself on the Sword Immortal Platform.
People began to stir.
The fire dragon in the sky roared.
"It's all quiet!" One of the generals shouted in grief: "Don't let down the death of the city lord!" It's not worth it! We just have to remember it in our hearts! ”
The people fell silent.
Women hold their children tightly, men hold their families tightly, and they lean on each other.
Li Jiawen looked up, in front of him was a long dragon that seemed to have not decreased at all, I don't know how much pain he had to suffer to end, he really needed to rest, his head really hurt, and the stitches were not only pierced in his body, but also in the deepest part of his soul.
People silently walked into the prison car, pricked the needle, pulled out the needle, and then left in silence, without the slightest superfluous action, simple and fast, as soon as someone fell, someone immediately carried him down, everyone wanted to end it quickly, no one was willing to continue to endure this suffocating torment.
But all this lasted for more than an hour, and when the last person stepped out of the prisoner car in silence, Li Jiawen thought that it was finally over, his eyes slowly drooped, and he really couldn't hold on.
At this time, a little boy with a scar on the corner of his eye suddenly rushed out of the crowd, he took the initiative to walk to the prison, and reached out to the blind old man to ask for a bad karma needle.
The old man was stunned and said, "It's over." ”
The little boy still put his hand in front of the blind old man.
The old man laughed and put the bad karma needle in the palm of the little boy's hand: "Although I am blind, I can see it better than anyone else, since you insist, then you are the last one today." ”
People don't know what the little boy is going to do.
The old horse sighed: "This little guy is very good, he is conscious, do you want to join our Fire God Temple?" ”
The little boy laughed, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and he walked into the prison and looked at Li Jiawen with big bright eyes.
Li Jiawen opened his eyes with a wry smile, he didn't expect that after the end, someone would take the initiative to run up and stab him, and it was a little boy.
But Li Jiawen was wrong, and the old horse was also wrong, the little boy raised the needle of bad karma, but it was not pierced on Li Jiawen's body, but on his own fingers.
The little boy convulsed in pain, but he didn't say a word, he should have been tortured greatly, but he pulled himself out of the pain, he pulled out the bad karma needle at once, and then whispered, "It hurts." ”
After saying that, the little boy returned the bad karma needle to the blind old man, and jumped out of the prison car as if nothing had happened.
"You're looking for death!"
The old horse was completely crazy, it was actually played by a little boy, and the fire dragon roared and wanted to kill the little boy, but the blind old man stretched out his black palm and pressed against the void, and said, "Forget it." ”
So the fire dragon stopped in an instant.
"Forget it? Why? The old horse asked puzzled.
"There's no why, it's just that I figured it out." The blind old man closed the cell door and said, "Let's go, we still have a lot of places to go." ”
Lao Ma neighed unwillingly, and shouted: "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, you can continue to live, remember to be grateful, it is because of our kindness that you can understand the beauty of life!" ”
The people gritted their teeth and moved out of the way, watching the prisoner cart slowly leave Shucheng, and then they were surprised because a little boy was following the prisoner cart.
It was the little boy with a scar in the corner of his eye.
He strode and ran, barely keeping up with the prisoner's car.
The old horse stopped and looked at the little boy who came with him viciously: "You are really not afraid of death, don't you think that you think that you have a gold medal for avoiding death if I spare your life in the city?" ”
The little boy shook his head and looked at the old horse with some horror.
But the blind old man said, "Let him go." ”
Lao Ma was furious, and he was puzzled: "Our purpose this time is to let the world know that the dignity of our Fire God Temple cannot be desecrated, we are here for suppression, and we can't tolerate any appeasement!" ”
"I said, forget it, don't you understand?"
The old man's voice was soft.
But the arrogant old horse no longer dared to refute.
The prisoner cart continued to move forward, and although the boy kept trying his best to follow, he was slowly left out of sight by the prisoner cart.
The old man stretched out his hand, and the blood jade in Li Jiawen's mouth reached his hand.
Li Jiawen's mouth that had been open could finally be closed slowly, perhaps because it had been open for too long, so his jaw was a little misaligned, and he reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the blind old man indifferently.
The old man played with the black karmic fire burning on the blood jade and asked, "Young man, I have a deal with you, do you want to hear it?" ”
Li Jiawen said calmly: "What a deal." ”
The old man looked at Li Jiawen and said temptingly: "A deal that can make you suffer a lot less." ”
Li Jiawen knew what the old man wanted.
He wanted Li Jiawen's Thousand Tribulations Sword Duel.
The old man used a bad karma needle, and Li Jiawen exuded an ominous aura because of his cultivation of the Thousand Tribulation Sword.
"No, I can hold it." Li Jiawen closed his eyes again.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, because you don't know how much you still have to go." The old man said: "Do you think that as long as you finish walking through Shudi, it will be over?" No, after walking through Shudi, you will still go to our Vulcan Kingdom, where you will be treated even more coldly than now, and the Vulcan Kingdom is really big, although it is called a country, but it is even more vast than your home earth. ”
The old man seemed to fall into memory: "I have also been to Earth, when I went to Earth as an ascetic, and it took me twenty years to travel all over the earth. And the Vulcan Kingdom is bigger than the earth, think about how many people we will have there, but they are willing to put a needle on each of you, think about it, it may take twenty years to get the piercing, right? ”
"Twenty years of suffering, just thinking about it will make you crazy, so young man, you don't suffer a loss in making a deal with me, I will give you a good time after you finish walking in Shudi."
Li Jiawen did not respond, because he had fallen asleep deeply.
When Li Jiawen woke up again, they came to a small village, there were not many people in the village, and they were already anxiously lining up in front of the prisoner car.
"It's very simple, all you need is a needle in him, and whoever doesn't do what I say will die!" The old horse roared loudly.
Li Jiawen smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that it was just a nap, and the torment began again, stitch after stitch, is there really no time to end?
"Desperate, huh? If you are desperate, don't hold on any longer, I can help you out. ”
Li Jiawen glanced at the old man and said, "What I want is not liberation, what I want is persistence, the reason why I am still suffering is only because I have not persevered long enough." This is the first day, and if I give up on the first day, then I will not choose this path. ”
"Ugh." The old man sighed and said, "It seems that I underestimated you." ”
The first villager walked into the prisoner car, he was a little nervous, looked at Li Jiawen and asked, "Pierce...... Where to tie it. ”
Li Jiawen smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, it's just a needle, I won't die, you don't need to have a burden, just prick my hand." ”
The villager swallowed and asked, "What the hell have you done?" ”
Li Jiawen shook his head and said, "Don't ask again, do your thing, otherwise your family will be killed." ”
The villagers hurriedly pricked Li Jiawen's arm, Li Jiawen roared in pain, he had been pricked with too many needles today, and it seemed that it was because of the increasing number of karmic fires, so each needle hurt more than the other!
Fortunately, it is only a small village, with only about 30 households.
When they were all tied, Li Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw a familiar figure, he was running hard in the sunset, beautiful like a painting.
It was the boy who ran after the prisoner cart, and he finally caught up.
Li Jiawen laughed.
Because it's not just a boy.
That's hope.
