56. Chapter 56
The white-walled and black-tiled house is still a simple and simple home furnishings, just like the simple style of the Ma family.
Fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and there are a lot of necessary things to wash.
Shen An sat down facing the closed door, picked up the teapot on the ancient wooden round table, poured himself a cup of water, and moistened his throat. As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to talk to An Puyu, the little white tiger got under Shen An's arm and signaled that he wanted to rub water to drink.
Shen An had no choice but to put down his hand and send the quilt to the mouth of the little white tiger.
The white tiger snuggled in Shen An's arms, and it stuck out its tongue and licked the water glass. An Puyu looked at it with envy and jealousy, and didn't say a word.
The room was unusually quiet, only the sound of the white tiger chirping water echoed in the room.
An Puyu honestly stood on the other side of the round table, as if she had made up her mind to wait for Shen An to speak first. Shen An then remembered that since he found out that An Puyu was torturing innocent creatures yesterday, he had not said a word to An Puyu.
Shen An was subconsciously avoiding talking to An Puyu, because this child's behavior made his heart cold.
However, he is An Puyu......
- He is one of the few relatives of Shen An.
"Is there anything you'd like to explain?" Shen An asked in a hoarse voice.
"I was wrong." An Puyu said very simply: "Not next time." β
"Do you want to have a next time?"
An Puyu frowned, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled his breath, and asked after a long time: "So, Brother An, what do you want?" β
Shen An was silent for a moment and said, "Your temperament doesn't seem to be suitable for cultivating immortals. When this matter is over, I will explain to the head of the family, you leave the Su family, this place is not for you. β
An Puyu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile:
"For some reason, I'm not surprised by this result at all."
"You don't have the slightest remorse." Shen An's expression was grim, and he said sternly: "I only found out now that I don't seem to know you at all. But I know people like you. Destroying humanity and being ruthless, although I don't know why you want to do this to two innocent beings, but you can do this kind of behavior, it already shows that you are not from my generation! After you leave, I only hope that you can behave for yourself and stop doing more injustice! β
"It's just two low-level creatures!" Listening to Shen An's stern and ruthless words, An Puyu finally couldn't hold back her face, and retorted in a rough voice: "I didn't kill them!" β
This sentence was full of malice, Shen An couldn't listen to it, and immediately interrupted him: "You actually have a point?" Do you still have the slightest appearance of a cultivator like this? β
"Cultivation?" An Puyu sneered: "Brother An, you sue me, what is the Tao in the world?" People walk the way, the devil is the way, the demon path is the way, even if the so-called 'right way', do they do less dirty things in private? Among the four major families, who else can be regarded as a 'cultivator'? You obviously came to save people, but the people of the Ma family were on guard against you everywhere. You respect the Su family for everything, but they use the technique of voyeurism to secretly guard against you. I've just mutilated two low-level creatures, and to put it bluntly, I'm just the law of the jungle, and I know that Brother An can cure them! They're not dead! β
"Ridiculous! Shut up! Hearing An Puyu's quibble, Shen An was furious, slapped the table and said angrily: "An Puyu! Don't you have a shred of sympathy? β
An Puyu looked indifferent, and said disapprehantly: "The upper position has the dirtiness of the upper position, and the lower position has the lowly of the lower position, except for Brother An and his mother, there is nothing in this world that I should care about." β
An Puyu's shameless words touched Shen An's bottom line, if you can do "evil" regardless of the object, this time against others, then what about next time?
Shen An was angry and annoyed, he frowned and mocked: "You actually have one in your heart? It's a pity, I really don't know how much virtue I can have, and I can be favored by you like Senior Brother An? β
"Brother An, don't talk to me like this, I'm uncomfortable to listen to." An Puyu looked at Shen An pitifully with a pair of innocent deer eyes, but it made Shen An even more annoyed and turned his gaze away.
ββ¦β¦ Brother An......" An Puyu called Shen An twice, but did not get a response, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Brother An, you don't understand, you can feel angry because this world is real to you, but it doesn't mean anything to me......"
"What do you mean by that?"
An Puyu did not answer Shen An's question.
Can Shen An understand? The feeling of living in the illusion every day, the feeling of being dejected and frustrated as if life is meaningless.
I finally found someone who could connect me to the world, but that person was anxious beyond his reach, like a drowning man, desperately grasping the only straw in a monstrous wave, only to find that the straw may just be the despair of the moon in the mirror.
Even so, he wanted to try and seize that only hope.
Even if the hope you find may only be an illusory solace.
"I have heard that there is a grass in the world that forgets worries, and taking this grass can make people forget jΓ¬ a qiΔ and fall into a happy and carefree illusory dream. However, once you wake up from the dream, the three souls and seven spirits are like ten thousand arrows gathering the heart, and the pain of the intestines and souls disappearing is like burning within the five hearts, and you can't survive and die. β
An Puyu stared at Shen An tightly with eyes that seemed to pray for the understanding of the gods, and his dark pupils like ink jade reflected Shen An's figure: "Brother An, I feel as if I have been living in that kind of pain all along. β
Indulge in illusion and deny your own existence, but once you wake up, the emptiness and loneliness that turns the world upside down are like sharp arrows.
Can Shen An really understand that feeling?
Shen An didn't speak, An Puyu couldn't be sure if he understood what he meant, and after a moment of silence, he slowly continued: "For me, there is nothing more ethereal than basing my own happiness, beliefs, and even truths on others. I originally thought that except for my mother, the qiΔ in this world would mean nothing to me. However, I met you, Brother An. β
When pouring out the names of Shen An and An Ruyi, An Puyu's face showed pain, as if she was really in despair and pain.
"Brother An, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I don't dare, there's no next time, don't you drive me away, okay? β
An Puyu looked sincere, but Shen An felt a chill behind her.
He remembered what Ding Yan had said:
-- The root of the void spirit, no desire and no desire, a hundred years of body, either holy or demonic.
Shen An's first thought: I didn't let him escape into Buddhism back then, could it be really wrong?
Shen An's second thought: Obviously, whether it is Shen Ping or An Puyu, they are more than a hundred times more ruthless than themselves! Why did this "game" inexplicably choose to be the so-called "villain"?
Crazy, all crazy, whether it's An Puyu, or this world, all of them are crazy!
"You're not...... People in my generation ......" Shen An was already in chaos, and he didn't know what else he could say.
"Brother An, I know what kind of person you are. You have kindness to the world, but the world is not what you imagined, and even if you are kind to the world, it may not be willing to reciprocate your kindnessβ"
While An Puyu was babbling about his malice towards the world, Shen An suddenly stood up and pressed An Puyu's chest with his right hand.
An Puyu also thought that her outrageous words had provoked Shen An to attack her, but Shen An did not make the next move.
He just pressed his hand to his chest.
Shen An's eyes were closed, and his bony right hand was tightly pressed against An Puyu's chest, and he was so close to An Puyu that An Puyu could smell the faint aroma of medicinal herbs on his body.
"It turns out that you have a ...... heart" After a long time, Shen An said slowly: "I thought that people who could say such things should have a cold heart and would not beat." β
"Brother An...... I-"
"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm the same as you, and the 'people' in your mouth." Shen An interrupted An Puyu's words, and he repeated the latter sentence in an accentuated tone: "I, we, and, he, we, is, one, like, of,"
"It's different!" An Puyu said excitedly: "Brother An, you are different. β
How could it be different? Shen An couldn't help laughing at himself, he used to think that he was a unique Tiansha Lone Star, until the customer service told him that everyone in this world, except for the "gods" from outside, was just a "character" arranged by the "game", and all the "characters" were the same.
-- It's just "code" and "probability."
"Good and evil are just a thought." Shen An's hand was not withdrawn, he looked at An Puyu and said: "There is goodness in the heart, although it is good or not, and the evil in the heart, although it is evil, it is not evil." Where can we distinguish all the things in the world? How do you know that the good deeds I have done are not for myself? β
"Brother An, you are different!"
"I repeat, I'm no different from everyone else." Shen An pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself: "It is said that hustle and bustle is all for profit, however, if there is a qiΔ in the world, it is really only evil and not good...... I probably wouldn't have lived that miserable anymore...... How many good and evil have you seen in the world when you are young? How can you distinguish between the great good and the evil in this world? In this world, there are many prejudiced, stubborn, selfish, and willful people, but there are also naΓ―ve, simple, kind, and simple people. β
Shen An used to be full of hope for the world in his previous life, until he was betrayed, chased and resented, he tasted the hardships of the world, and finally only resentment and despair remained in his heart. He threw himself into the demon path without hesitation, trampling through the mortal realm with iron horses, disregarding human life, and being addicted to killing, just to let the world see the endless hell he had seen with his own eyes.
However, after knowing the true face of the world, which was nothing more than a god's "game", Shen An had no resentment in his heart.
He just wants to live, only by living can he defy his fate, and only by living can he see the whole picture of the "world".
-- This is the world he once loved.
"Leading the world forward, in addition to self-interest, but also sincere enthusiasm. The world is ignorant, but it is not foolish. The world may not mean anything to you, but to me, her incomprehensibility is what it is all about. β
"Xiao Yu'er, you and I are really not the same."
An Puyu is like five thunderbolts, this sentence is too familiar and unforgettable!
It was a word of grace and righteousness that he had heard countless times in his dreams.
Now, in reality, he's heard it again.
"If this world really doesn't mean anything to you, then you should follow the path of the devil instead of the right path. However, if you still want to follow the right path, then you need to see more corners of this world, not just a small Su family. After this is over, I will write a letter to the master of the abstinence, perhaps, it is better for you to escape to the Buddha's door, and I only hope that the Buddha's door will lead you to the right path. β
"Brother An, are you still going to drive me away?"
"I have hope for you." Shen An smiled bitterly: "Do you remember what I once said? I think of you as a brother? β
An Puyu's eyes revealed disappointment, and he nodded quietly.
"I was hoping that you would take a path that I wanted to take but couldn't." Shen An laughed self-deprecatingly: "Now it seems that I was wrong, you should still take the path that belongs only to you-"
"Knock Knock"
There was a sudden knock outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two.
The sun is about to go down and night is falling, who else will come at this time?
Shen An got up, approached the door, and asked vigilantly, "Who?" β
A young man's voice came from outside the door: "Is it Shen Gongzi sent by the Su family?" I have something important to talk to my son about. β
What can there be to talk about at this time? Shen An hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door.
However, seeing the person behind the door, Shen An was taken aback
ββThe person in front of him is not Qin Shen, who is already dead!
