Chapter 120: Dream (3)
They didn't deliberately lower their voices when they chatted, nor did they turn the topic aside because of Wu Ling's approach, so when they passed by, Wu Ling and Chen Changqing listened to all the content of their chat.
As one of the protagonists of last night's incident in the grove, Wu Ling naturally knew what the truth of yesterday's incident was? It can be said that it is far from their guess, but Wu Ling didn't want to tell these truths.
Not to mention that he is not so kind, and saying it will only cause confusion. And even if he is really quite boring and tells the truth of his actions, it is estimated that no one will believe it, because for ordinary people, they live in just an ordinary world, killing, blood, death, **, these are too far away from them.
What's more, their lives are still wives and children, hot kang heads, it's just that simple.
In their minds, the only thing that can kill people is all kinds of high-tech weapons, pistols, bombs, etc. In their cognition, they never felt that the power that a cold long sword could exert could not even be compared to a high-tech super explosion.
It was a world they had never known and did not want to set foot in. In this case, Wu Ling naturally would not be so bored to tell the so-called truth to the other party.
It's like a "Matrix" released in later generations, from an ideological point of view. "The Matrix" is a kind of popular science film for Indian philosophy. Psychoanalysis is the most annoying thing because it eventually makes you realize that you and the world you live in are not what you thought they would be.
Like Anderson, we all work hard and have fun in this world of symbols. Television, money, cars, fame, shampoo, Coca-Cola, computer games, and the bells and whistles you are reading are nothing more than a stream of words. They bind your whole body and mind into what you call the "meaning of life."
You think you need to lie on the couch and watch Korean dramas every day, you think you need a Ferrari or an Audi A8, you think you need an annual salary of 1 million, you think you need to make newspaper headlines, you think you need a black sweater without dandruff on it, you think you need a phone, you need a mobile phone, you need email and a doctorate, you need gaming gear and karaoke. In fact, these things have nothing to do with life, and life doesn't even need electric lights and running water.
These things are all symbols, they may symbolize self-worth or the meaning of life, or they may not symbolize anything. But you struggle to pursue these symbols in a groggy state, not knowing what you really need.
With these things, there is also the so-called awakening, in fact, what is awakening, so after awakening, is it really not awake. It's like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly.
Zhuangzi dreamed one day that he had become a butterfly, and when he woke up, he found that he was still Zhuangzi, so he didn't know whether he was dreaming of Zhuangzi's butterfly or Zhuangzi dreaming of butterflies. Here, Zhuangzi raises a philosophical question – how do people know the truth. If the dream is real enough, one does not have any ability to know that he is dreaming.
In the eyes of ordinary people, what a person sees and feels when he wakes up is real, and dreams are hallucinations and are unreal. Zhuangzi thought otherwise. Although, waking up is one realm, and dreaming is another, the two are not the same; Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, and butterflies are butterflies, and the two are also different.
But in Zhuang Zhou's view, they are just a phenomenon, a form and a stage in the Dao movement. Zhuangzi is using the simplest parable to illustrate one of the heaviest questions of human beings - the question of life and death. Dreams symbolize death. The butterfly symbolizes the Zhuangzi after death. What do you think? Reification! When you are awake, you are a Zhuangzi, so you just want to do what you should think about as a Zhuangzi and do what you should do as a Zhuangzi. When I was dreaming of butterflies, I just wanted to think and do what I should do as a butterfly. It can't be the other way around. Extending to the issue of life and death, life and death are different stages that people must go through.
These seemingly profound truths, in fact, in the eyes of many people, are nonsense at all. No matter what kind of society you live in, whether it is real or unreal, you can look at the people you love the most and enjoy the happiness with your family. You can eat when you are hungry, you can have a safe nest when you are sleepy, and you usually have time to go out and gather, this is not the real pursuit.
What is falsehood and what is truth?
In fact, there is really no need to discuss this issue, where the heart is, it is true.
At this time, Wu Ling suddenly had a deeper understanding of the Dream Stone. Dream? It's not a dream, it's just a thought. If you can really achieve the world you want most, whether it is nothingness or fantasy, why should you be sober at will.
Although he thought a lot, these thoughts were just Wu Lingyi's thoughts for a moment. After passing by a group of people, he said lightly: "Are you doing all this?" ”
"Don't you doubt my identity?" I didn't expect Wu Ling to say this, Chen Changqing said a little strangely. Indeed, it seems that he has not yet begun to introduce his identity.
"What is there to doubt, at this time, where else can the person who can appear next to me be other than Shueisha?" Yesterday, the president of a branch was killed, and although he directly changed his identity, Wu Ling didn't believe it, and things just played like this.
At the very least, the bigwigs above won't give up their control of him at will. Now he can kill the president of a branch, and it is inevitable that he will make a second move, killing another president, so that it is not as simple as changing his identity.
So whether it is out of the protection of Wu Ling or the protection of other members, Wu Ling's side will not be as calm as it seems on the surface. Around him, there are still a lot of people, but unlike Chen Changqing in front of him, the other party is not an alien.
The reason why the supernatural person is not arranged, in addition to worrying that it will stimulate Wu Ling, is also worried that because of the identity of the anomaly, if something unexpected happens, then the general bureau of the entire Anwan Province will be quite lively.
As a stranger, there is a certain amount of pride. Especially for those with the same level, if someone is not convinced by Wu Ling and wants to challenge, then the matter will not be easy to solve.
In fact, in Chen Changqing's opinion, those people above really think too much. Because although they were all D-level abilities, in front of Wu Ling, he felt a huge pressure. This kind of pressure, not to mention that he has a shot, even if Wu Ling wants to make a move on him now, he has a high probability that he will not be able to resist before attacking his body.
This is just the most ordinary state of the teenager in front of him, what if the other party really explodes with all his might? It's no wonder that he is a super strong man who can kill the branch president, and at this time, he really knows how big the gap between him and the strong is.
In fact, this is also Chen Changqing's self-indulgence. Wu Ling is different from other abilities, first of all, he is not a D-level ability, but a C-level super powerhouse. Although he did his best to restrain his energy fluctuations, the suppression of the C-class in front of the D-class did not disappear because of the convergence.
Just like when Lu Qing arrived at the place where Wu Ling killed Liejin, although he didn't know what was going on, because of Liejin's fall, his entire mood was all down. It is like a big stone pressing on the heart, such a strong person recognized by heaven and earth, some visions will still exist.
"My lord is wise, I am now the president of the Yueji City Branch, Chen Changqing!" Chen Changqing simply admitted it.
There is no way to admit it, after all, there is a gap in strength, and there is no way for him to resist if he wants to. And everything is easier to explain clearly, as the president of the branch, he did not go to the branch on the first day of his tenure, but came here, so he naturally did not come to take a turn.
Glancing at Chen Changqing, Wu Ling said lightly: "The manpower in the club has been very tight recently? You have just broken through the D level, and your breath is unstable, why did you let you become the president of the branch of the current month? ”
Chen Changqing was taken aback, he had indeed just broken through, he originally thought that it was already very deep, but he didn't expect that he would still be seen through by the other party at a glance. In front of those faint eyes, he didn't have any secrets, how could this not surprise Chen Changqing.
"Originally, the president of this branch couldn't take my turn, just because my relationship with adults ......," said Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment.
With a move in his heart, Wu Ling asked, "Are you really Wu Ling's cousin?" ”
Chen Changqing nodded slightly embarrassed: "If there is nothing wrong, I should be Wu Ling's cousin!" ”
As an uncle's generation, his strength can't even catch up with half of Wu Ling's, which is indeed a little embarrassing. But at the same time of embarrassment, he was also a little happy in his heart for this relationship with Wu Ling.
Being able to be the president of a company, he naturally knows the difficulty. or superb, or has a certain relationship, but unfortunately, he doesn't have either of these two. That's why he has been on the distant frontier, and now because of Wu Ling's relationship, he has returned directly to Yueji City, and he is also the president of a company, so he is naturally a little happy in his heart.
"Really? It's a pity that you came a little late, and last night, Wu Ling was already dead! Wu Ling said.
"I know, so, you're Lord Zero!" Chen Changqing was not stupid, he naturally knew the meaning of Wu Ling's words.
As the cousin of Wu Ling, Chen Changqing could originally use Wu Ling's power, but now Wu Ling's identity as an anomaly had disappeared yesterday. Instead of the current Ability, Zero, if Chen Changqing wanted to directly use his power at this time, it would be impossible.
They are all smart people, Wu Ling didn't continue, but turned around, raised his feet and said, "Let's go, Uncle Cousin, I'll take you around!" ”
"Well, let's go!"
Things have been made clear, and Chen Changqing is a little more relaxed when he gets along with Wu Ling.
………………
Liu Yun's emotions finally calmed down.
"Sister, do you have a nightmare? It's okay. Liu Long comforted.
Liu Yun breathed heavily, and Chen Jingjing's last cry still echoed in her ears. She didn't know what Chen Jingjing wanted to say in the end, don't sleep? Don't sleep?
Could it be that something bad happened in the dream that she told me not to fall asleep?
Liu Yun guessed.
She turned her face sideways, saw Liu Long's strong body, and his worried face, and felt a little more secure in her heart.
"Xiaolong, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"How can it be? You've just had surgery. I need to recuperate for a while, and what if my illness returns? Liu Long objected. Don't worry sister. He held Liu Yun's hand, "Xiaolong is by your side." ”
Liu Yun knew that it was unlikely that she would be discharged from the hospital for the time being, and her body really couldn't withstand the toss, so she had to nod.
However, she remembered Chen Jingjing's last meaning - don't sleep.
The time of the night passed slowly. Liu Long was originally going to leave, but when he saw his sister's haggard face, he finally stayed.
Liu Yun stayed up until midnight, her brain became more and more dizzy, and her eyelids fell several times, but she tried her best to hold up.
The hospital was deserted at night. Liu Long dozed off on the side.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. From far to near, I soon arrived at the door of the ward.
Liu Yun woke up suddenly. looked left and right, but could not see Liu Long's figure, and the other beds in the ward were empty. The patient who had been lying on it was nowhere to be seen. Liu Yun panicked for a while.
Syllable. Syllable. Syllable.
The footsteps stopped directly at the door of the ward, and there was silence all around. Liu Yun stared nervously at the door. She didn't know why Liu Long was gone, the other patients were gone, and she didn't know why the surroundings had become so quiet, and now all her energy was focused on the white door.
The sudden sound of footsteps seemed to stop outside the door. Liu Yun could feel that the visitor must have stopped at the door, but she didn't know why there was no movement. There was no murmur around, and only the sound of one's own breathing could be heard.
"There must be someone at the door!" Liu Yun wanted to bury her whole body in the quilt, but she was afraid that her eyes could not see the outside. She didn't know why the other person had stopped at the door.
Maybe it's listening to the voices in the hospital room.
She guessed this, but her heart became more and more frightened, and she didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
"Who?" She plucked up the courage to ask.
No one answered.
"Is it a little dragon?" Her voice trembled.
Still no one answered.
Liu Yun gritted her teeth, knowing that she probably wouldn't even have the courage to resist if she continued like this, she glanced at the bedside table next to her, there was a fruit knife for peeling fruit on it, and she held it tightly in her hand.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the door was slammed open.
"Ah!!h Liu Yun screamed suddenly, and the fruit knife in his hand was about to be thrown forward. (To be continued.) )
