Chapter 177: Simple
"Are you saying that I've been in the dark all along, but I'm ignorant?"
Guan Liang asked casually in an indifferent tone, but although he said this, an ominous premonition had already been born in his heart, as if something big enough to subvert his cognition was about to happen.
Wan Ji'an turned to look at him, and said with a disdainful sneer again.
"On the contrary, the reason why you can't see this star shine is because you've never been exposed to real darkness. ”
Haven't been exposed to real darkness?
Hearing this, Guan Liang's heart was still relieved, but when it came to the context of the story Wan Ji'an, it once again made him have an instinctive resistance, in fact, he didn't know what he was resisting, whether he believed the story he said, or didn't believe that this star-shaped item really had the ability to map and penetrate the darkness, or......
Wan Ji'an didn't speak again, but the dull atmosphere became more and more suffocating, Guan Liang knew very well that Wan Ji'an must have wanted to tell himself a story closely related to him today, and this story was likely not only related to him, but also related to other relationships that he could implicate.
So, he won't just stop for no reason, so what is he thinking about when he stops at this time?
If understood in a literal sense, Guan Liang has indeed not been exposed to the real darkness, in a place as sacred as the Destiny Heaven Sect, it can be said that it is the purest and brightest place in the entire Middle Heaven Realm, even if what Wan Ji'an said is true, that star-shaped item does have the ability to penetrate the darkness, but it is useless in the Destiny Heaven Sect.
But is this really so simple and straightforward?
At this time, Guan Liang looked down at the star he was holding in his hand again, his inadvertent action was seen by Wan Ji'an, and it also exposed Guan Liang's uncalm mind at this time, originally he was not a person who would be easily swayed by the thoughts of others, but just as he saw all kinds of things that were enough to subvert cognition after his death were seen with his own eyes, so at this time, he would retain a trace of self-doubt in his instinctive resistance.
People often lose this kind of self-doubt in front of familiar people and things, and being deceived comes from this, they all say that eating a trench grows a wisdom, experience is the best way to avoid being deceived compared to self-awareness, but for people like Guan Liang, they are often afraid that they will lose everything if they lose once, so they are always cautious and never want to suffer that kind of experience once, and their suspicion is far greater than ordinary people.
Guan Liang's suspicion at this time has been perceived by Wan Ji'an, once a person has doubts about the people and things he trusts, then no matter how much he trusts the people and things, it will inevitably leave a scar in his heart that will never heal, even if the things he worries about did not happen in the end, and his worries are just unfounded worries, but doubts are doubts after all, just like rules and loopholes, even if doubts are eliminated, they will only be transformed into no doubts, not trust.
Wan Ji'an never thought that he could really influence Guan Liang, so that he no longer trusted everything he had experienced in the past, this is impossible, even if he knows the so-called truth, I am afraid that deep down he is also defending more, but for a smart person like Wan Ji'an, what he wants is never to solve the problem once and for all, as long as the problem stays on the edge of constant wandering.
Finally, people have times when they can't help it, being able to endure is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage, Guan Liang has this feeling at this time, but if the end of patience can't change back to reason, and can't change the result he wants to see, then patience is meaningless after all.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
After hearing Guan Liang's question, Wan Ji'an knew that the time had come, but he didn't give a direct answer, but looked up at the sunlight shining through the shadows of the bamboo forest, and then said.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go to the next place. ”
Wan Ji'an's words made Guan Liang frown, just like Wan Ji'an looked at himself, he also hated this person, especially after his death, he was full of extreme disgust for all the people and things that needed to be treated with emptiness and wrongs in his life, and this disgust even included himself.
"Where?"
Guan Liang asked, Wan Ji'an smiled faintly at this time, from the moment he saw the flaws in Guan Liang's heart, he knew that Guan Liang would definitely find an answer, even if this answer was not what he wanted, nor was it obtained by Wan Ji'an's mouth, but he himself would inevitably come up with another answer that was completely different from the one he knew before his death.
This is the after-effect of self-doubt, if the past cannot be overturned, how can we usher in a new tomorrow?
Wan Ji'an walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest, and before leaving, he glanced back at the tombstone, there was a trace of remembrance in his eyes, which was very faint but enough to contain a lot of warmth that was difficult to explain to outsiders, Guan Liang didn't ask from beginning to end, although there would not be an answer to ask, but just as he could endure, patience at this time may be an advantage.
When Wan Ji'an and Guan Liang returned to the front hall of the Flying Bird Building, Lu Heng and Tang Long were already standing there waiting, seeing that their outfits were also about to set off, the crane white eyebrows were not there, Guan Liang was suspicious for a while, do you want to say goodbye?
Just when Guan Liang was thinking, Crane Baimei walked out with the support of the young man named Zhan Biao, since the boy recovered from his illness, Crane Baimei looked even older, maybe he had been holding on when his grandson was sick, but at this time, once he let go of the obsession in his heart that he refused to fall, he would eventually enter the final stage of his life.
Guan Liang actually wanted to ask him, if he died in this world, then where would the person go, whether he would go to the next world he didn't know, or whether he would eventually return to nothingness along with his consciousness, or he was not dead at all, he was still alive, living in the wonderful world before Guan Liang's death, if this was the case, then more and more unsolvable questions would be born.
So Guan Liang held back again, before leaving, Guan Liang proposed to check the young man's condition again, of course Hebaimei readily agreed, but Wan Ji'an showed a contemplative look on the side, his appearance was seen by Guan Liang, and suddenly a strange idea was born in Guan Liang's heart, that is, the ghost must have a certain connection with Wan Ji'an and even everything that happened to him, but this connection may not be understood by himself with the end of this adventure.
Sure enough, when Guan Liang tried to probe the depths of the young man's consciousness with rules, but in the end he couldn't see the ghost again, maybe he disappeared the moment he reached an agreement with Guan Liang, or maybe he hid in the deeper part of his consciousness, which Guan Liang couldn't detect.
Before leaving, Guan Liang glanced at Asuka Xiaozhu in front of him again, and suddenly an inexplicable voice in his heart told him that staying might be the best choice.
