217. Self
Xu Wei didn't say anything, this face that didn't belong to him had a strong love that had never been before. Gloomy, sad, hopeless...... It seems that there will never be a future again.
Lingyu didn't evade, looked into his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?" Why should I remember you? β
He didn't open his mouth, just looked at her steadily. There is no disappointment, how can a person who is already so desperate be disappointed?
Immediately after, I heard Lingyu say, "No one knows that you have saved zΓ i?" There are so many people in this world, does everyone have to be known by others in order to exist? Even if I know you've saved zΓ i, so what? I know that there are many people who have saved zΓ i, but when those people die, I will remember them too? Do they have anything to do with me? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Huh...... For us immortal cultivators, what is the point of others knowing? Does it make even the slightest sense for you to sue me? β
Xu Wei was silent. Cultivating immortals, why do they want to cultivate immortals? It is to let yourself survive for a long time, and even immortalize.
"Don't say it's you, even if it's those Yuanying seniors, they will fall one day, how long can others remember them? The only people who will really be sad and miss them are their relatives. β
"You think I won't forget you if you ask now? When I recover my cultivation, marry Dan, and be full of spirits, where will I still think of you? Lingyu sneered, "Don't be so naΓ―ve, I think that if I say a few words, I will remember for the rest of my life that there is a poor guy who has lived without identity and name!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"And when you marry Dan, Yuan Ying, and even transform into a god, you will meet many, many people and do many, many things. Achieve something that no one has ever achieved before. Naturally, there will be a bunch of people who can't forget you. You don't have to ask for it. They will sing your praises, write you down to the books, brag about your deeds in the teahouses and restaurants, and their tones will be full of glory, even though you don't know them at all. β
ββ¦β¦β
Or maybe you'll meet some friends who smell like each other and walk together. You're in danger together. From birth to death, give your back to each other. If you are in danger, they will desperately come to save you, and if you die, they will do their best to fulfill your wishes, and they will always miss you. β
"Or, you will fall in love with a certain woman, blow a phoenix to her, and walk with her on the fairy road, and never abandon her. Maybe you'll have children of your own...... If something happens to you one day. They will break their hearts for you and miss you for the rest of their lives......"
"As for who you are. What's your name and what does it look like...... They will only remember that you are their friend, lover, and loved one. β
Xu Wei slowly raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were serious and focused, as if he wanted to take her into his heart.
ββ¦β¦ Only these people will remember you. β
He watched it for a long, long time, until the west was flushed with red glow, and the bell of the end of the Jindan ceremony could be heard in the distance.
Finally, he lowered his head, looked at his hands, and slowly clenched them into fists, as if he had made up some kind of determination.
The purple robe flickered, and he stood up, still with that indifferent and arrogant expression, which belonged to Xu Zheng...... No, it should be Xu Wei's expression.
"I'm leaving." When Lingyu heard him, she didn't get up, but just raised her head.
Xu Hui's posture was like a pine, his back was straight, and the sadness and despair just now seemed to be all hallucinations, with a faint expression, with his usual calmness.
"After leaving the Taibai Sect, I will travel directly to find an opportunity to form a Dan."
"You ......" Lingyu looked at him worriedly, is there really no problem with this look?
"If one day, you cultivate to restore fΓΉ, don't take it lightly. Either I'm dead or I'm married, in short, make sure I'm in a state and then go on retreat. Xu Yi paused and said, "Retreat and don't have any interference." β
It means that if he dies suddenly when she marries her, will it affect her?
Lingyu slowly retracted her feet and stood up: "I remember." β
Xu Wei nodded, turned around and walked towards the exit.
Without taking two steps, he stopped and pointed to the flute resting on the stone table: "This, can you give it to me?" β
Lingyu was stunned.
He didn't look at her and said, "If I have a beloved woman in the future, I will remember to blow a phoenix to her." β
"......" Lingyu suddenly smiled and waved her hand generously, "Take it." β
Xu Wei stretched out his hand and took the flute into his hand.
After standing for a while, he still didn't leave, seemed to hesitate, and finally said, "I...... I was banned by the Sword King, and I won't come to you casually in the future. β
Lingyu looked at his back: "...... Well. β
"You...... What is your name? β
This sentence made her stunned, what does it mean?
"I remember, you said that Lingyu is your Dao number."
Lingyu stood silently for a moment and said, "Jun Ying, Jun Ying of Jun Ying Grass." β
Cheng ...... Jun Ying? He clenched the flute in his hand, "I know, goodbye." β
As he spoke, he walked out of the cave, turned into light, and disappeared into the sky.
There was no turning back.
Lingyu stood alone for a long time, and it wasn't until Ah Bi came back that she came back to her senses.
Once again, she sat down by the hot springs, holding her chin and staring at the water.
Actually, it's not that she can't understand Xu Wei's pain, but no one can solve such pain except himself.
Xu Wei's life experience is too special for others to explain.
Since he was born, he has lived in the shadow of others, his identity is not his own, his name is not his own, and even his face is not his own. He is a person without ego, and the only meaning of existence is to become a shadow of others. Although she didn't know what Zhaoming Sword Monarch wanted to do, it would definitely not be a good thing to cultivate such a shadow, and the biggest possibility was that she had received it from generation to generation. In other words, Xu Wei is a chess piece that may be sacrificed at any time.
In this world, he could not find a place to belong. He said that his face was real, he was not the real child of his parents, although she didn't know what it was, but she also understood that this body was inextricably linked with Zhaoming Sword Monarch.
If he was born normally. It won't be that identity. It won't be this face either.
So to speak. He is a person who was created and brought out.
People are born with parents, and the same is true of demons, even if they are spirits, they also have things to live on. He is obviously like a human being, with parents and flesh and blood, but he has no roots.
A person without roots and sources has no sustenance between heaven and earth. His emptiness can be imagined. Before that, his mother was pinned on him with infinite hope, representing the hope of the roots, making him feel that he still had a little connection with the world. Even if she doesn't wake up, she won't be alive at all.
Suddenly, he learned that his mother's body was ruined, so the only sustenance left was gone, and his connection with the world was also broken.
Tough people tend to collapse very quickly, because this kind of person is strong because he has sustenance and support in his heart. And as soon as the sustenance is gone, the pillar collapses, and the whole belief disappears. I can't even find the meaning of existence.
For many people, cultivating immortals is for immortality, for status, and for many, many things. But for Xu Wei, cultivating immortals only means the same thing, that is, power, the power that can allow him to break away from the control of Zhaoming Sword Monarch and gain freedom.
What happens after you are free? No loved ones, no roots, not even yourself.
Cultivating immortals and cultivating the heart, what is the heart? The heart is the ego! Only by confirming oneself can one hone one's state of mind little by little.
A person who loses himself cannot become an immortal at all, and he can't connect with Dan.
But what could she do? Do Xu reverse another sustenance? No kidding, does she have that ability?
She didn't, so she had to let him find sustenance on his own.
This sustenance can be his own reputation, a friend he hopes to meet, a wife and children in anticipation, as long as he still has hope in his heart, he can still find himself.
So, she said those words.
Ask yourself, she doesn't want Xu Rui to be ruined like this. If it is said that when the concentric contract was first established, they were still opposed to each other, and now there is no need for confrontation. Just like Xu Yi said before leaving, before she got married, she had to confirm his state first, so that the symbiotic relationship would make them the most trusting people for each other. If she wants to go on well, it's best for Xu Wei to live well.
Lingyu sighed and looked up at the blue sky: "I hope you can figure it out......"
Xu Wei, who left Tianchi Peak, stopped in mid-air.
He looked back at Tianchi Peak and was silently distracted.
Coming to Lingyu is a last resort. After enduring for so many years, his love has been well concealed by himself, but under this cover-up, there is violence and hatred accumulated over the years. He knew very well how bad these bad feelings were to himself, and if he allowed them to accumulate, he would never be able to enter the knot.
But he has a special identity, and the people in this world who can comfort him can't let the other party know, and the people who know can't comfort him.
So, when passing by Taibai Mountain, he turned in by a ghost.
At that time, he was really desperate, living alone in the world, but there was no one or anything related to him, this kind of despair was difficult for anyone to understand. It's not just the oppression of Zhaoming Sword Monarch, but also the loss of self-consciousness.
Who is he? Xu Zheng? No, the real Xu happens to be alive, he is the real grandson of Zhaoming Sword Monarch. Xu Rebellion? Who is this person? Such a strange and obscure name just shows that he should not save zΓ i. Rebellion, is upside down, is betrayal, just like his life, forcibly distorted the destiny of heaven and created a monster out of zΓ o.
A person who doesn't even have a self, what kind of state of mind cultivation is he talking about, and what kind of road to becoming an immortal is he talking about?
This desperation lasted until she stabbed him with such cold words, like pouring cold water on his head.
Yes, even if she knew that Xu Cheng had saved a lot? Why does she remember him? Just like when she was injured in Dayan City, if she had died at that time, she would have been forgotten long ago.
If you want to prove your own existence, you can only rely on yourself, use experience, achievements, and feelings to prove that you have saved yourself.
He held the crude bamboo flute in his hand, showed a faint smile, and then turned into a sword light and disappeared into the sky. (To be continued......)
PS: I originally wanted to do three more, but it seems to be stuck......
