Chapter 127: Snow Bodhisattva (2)
Among the Chinese people, there will never be a shortage of loyal and brave people.
Although Bai Wanyang is a female streamer, this loyalty is also worthy of admiration.
At this moment, the positions of me, the Snow Bodhisattva, and the Bai Wanyang formed an equilateral triangle, and the distance between them was five steps.
It's a delicate balance, and I haven't been able to walk over to support the pawy ducks, and it's because I feel the extreme subtlety in the air.
There were three white candles lit in the stone tower, one in front of me, one on the left, and one on the right, except at the entrance. In other words, inside the stone tower, there is light on three sides, leaving the door alone as a dark place, forming a trend of three points of light to resist darkness.
The place where Bai Wanyang knelt is relatively speaking, the darkest place in the stone tower.
As soon as I walked over to her, I immediately upset the balance, and it became a situation where two people stood in the dark and one in the light.
Based on this consideration, I stood firmly, within my field of vision, and paid attention to Bai Wanyang and Snow Bodhisattva at the same time.
"You're not going to die." Snow Bodhisattva said.
She turned, picked up a pair of white scissors, and with a click, cut off the candle that was already half an inch long.
The candlelight dimmed, and then it lit again.
I noticed that Bai Wanyang suddenly raised his head and looked at the snow bodhisattva in the candlelight, and the murderous aura exposed in his eyes was so heavy that it actually stirred up the flames of the three candles in the room to stir up at the same time.
"Yes, yes, yes." The Snow Bodhisattva nodded lightly and said three "yes" in a row.
"Snow Bodhisattva, you really can't save the general?" Bai Wanyang asked.
Snow Bodhisattva's face turned like an ice carving again: "That's right, I already said it, it's a catastrophe." The general must respond to the catastrophe, life is life, death is death. β
"In that case, I don't want to live anymore, I will return immediately and accompany the general on his last journey." Bai Wanyang said.
Snow Bodhisattva waved his sleeves: "Okay, let's go." Your wounds will not lead to death. β
Bai Wanyang slowly got up and slowly retreated.
When she entered, the wooden door was only thirty degrees open. So, when she stepped back, she had to deflect slightly, as if she were squeezing out of the crack in the door.
I looked at her and felt that she was walking with extreme vigilance, as if this was not a stone tower, but a ghost gate that would be beheaded at the slightest distraction.
Compass Village is where the Yellow Flower Society is stationed, and she is so careful that she has to arouse my suspicions again.
"Stay." I screamed.
By the time the Cypress retreated, the equilateral triangle formed by the three of us had been destroyed, but the Snow Bodhisattva had moved silently to the right, once again constructing a three-sided equilateral triangle.
"What?" Bai Wanyang stopped at the entrance.
"You're going back like this? As far as I can see, it's better to wait for the black wind and sand to completely cease before leaving. You've bled so much, you should lie down and rest. I said.
"I can afford to wait, but the general can't afford to wait." Bai Wanyang replied.
There was no boundless darkness outside the door, and if she took a step back, the wooden door would block the candlelight, swallowing her up in the darkness and taking her out of my sight.
"You can afford to wait, big things are coming, you can't panic." I say.
"Some people can't panic, some people can't panic." Snow Bodhisattva added to my words.
"I don't know what the two of you think, the soldiers in front are really bleeding, and I really can't afford to delay." Bai Wanyang said.
Her voice no longer trembled, and it was as cold as ice, like a snow bodhisattva.
"The ancient god of war Zhao Zilong killed seven in and seven out in the enemy camp, what happened? Isn't it the same bloody storm to return unharmed? If you go like this, you will only add chaos to the general and make her overstretched. Snow Bodhisattva said.
Bai Wanyang stepped back, took two steps in a row, and disappeared into the darkness.
The door closed again, but I felt that the door could block the view, but it could not block the crisis.
Crises exist everywhere, just like the loess brought to Dunhuang by the black wind and sand.
"Yes, yesβgreat." The Snow Bodhisattva whispered.
The candlelight in the stone tower grew brighter and brighter, illuminating her face.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but I can tell that something is very wrong." I say.
"Between life and death, sometimes, a strong man must break his wrist and a master abandon his son in order to turn defeat into victory and turn danger into safety. The general is a wonderful person, and I admire her. Snow Bodhisattva said.
"Stop playing dumb riddles." I whispered a plea.
Snow Bodhisattva shook his head: "Mr. Long, you are smarter than anyone else, I absolutely don't believe it, you can't see the life or death of this game clearly?" β
She praised me like this, and it didn't make me happy. On the contrary, I can't see through what happened to Bai Wanyang, I just feel the danger, but I can't find the danger and resolve the crisis.
"Let's have a bottle of water." The Snow Bodhisattva pointed to my left.
There were more than a dozen bottles of water on the white shelf, but the bottles were not transparent on the outside, but milky white.
I grabbed a bottle and turned it around, not seeing any labels or instructions.
"The bottle is your choice." Snow Bodhisattva continued.
Somewhat surprised, I looked up at her.
"When you choose a bottle, you choose a way to solve a problem." She said.
"What does this bottle represent?" I asked.
"Unscrew the cap, look at the winning lot, and the truth will be revealed." She replied.
I unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and it was filled with water, not some bottle.
"Where's the lottery?" I asked.
Snow Bodhisattva shook his head: "The answer is in your heart. β
I kept asking her not to play dumb riddles, but she never told her to solve the mystery, and there was a mystery hidden in every sentence.
Now, I don't have an answer in my heart, but a burning fire.
The bottle is very cold, and the water inside must also be ice water, which is in line with the name "Snow Bodhisattva".
I raised my head and drank water, letting the 300 milliliters of ice water extinguish the fire in my heart.
Water is just water, and the only singularity is that the temperature is a little lower than regular bottled water, as if it has just been taken out of the refrigerator.
"Kill the cypress and cut off the enemy's eyeline, so that the enemy is forced to show his feet." A bottle of water fell into my stomach, and this strange thought suddenly came to my mind.
I couldn't help but ask myself, "Why did you kill Bai Wanyang?" β
In my head, another voice immediately replied, "She has been possessed by the Secret Sect and has to be killed." β
I silently retorted to the voice: "She is a member of the Yellow Flower Society, and if she continues to kill like this, sooner or later, she will kill the general." If this is the case, who else is willing and able to work for the Yellow Flower Society? β
The voice replied, "In an embarrassing situation, I have to do it as a last resort." If you don't get rid of the dark faction, even if you cut the grass and root out the Xinyue Sect, it will only cure the surface. β
I bluntly refuted: "Killing is not the only way to solve the problem, now, let's see how the Snow Bodhisattva decides." β
The voice sneered: "Listen to the Snow Bodhisattva arrangement? Who is she, who are you, who is the general? Why should you listen to them? When you were on Hong Kong Island, did you ever say that everything should be arranged by the thunderous sky? Didn't you? At that time, you were decisive and resolute, and you could make the most correct choice every time. This time, go your own way, absolutely right. β
Where this sound came from, I have no way of knowing.
If the problem is with this bottle of water, it is a trap deliberately set by the Blood Bodhisattva. I have no hostility towards her, but it is unfair for her to treat me like this.
It took me so much effort to bring Bai Wanyang to Luopan Village, how could I improvise and kill her? This kind of thinking did not come from within me at all, but was imposed on me by other forces.
"What do you hear? Mr. Long? Snow Bodhisattva asked.
I shook my head slightly, not wanting to answer her question.
"Everything is providential, everything is determined by providence, this is a fair ruling." Snow Bodhisattva said again.
"Too much killing won't help at all, and I'm sure all the leaders of the Yellow Flower Society, including the Great General, will agree with me. Snow Bodhisattva, if you are still sympathetic to your subordinates, you should find another way, instead of relying on simple killing to eliminate all future troubles, which is the most irresponsible. I said.
The door is closed, and I don't know if Bai Wanyang, who is standing outside, will hear me, but I must say a fair judgment, rather than following the crowd and going with the flow. What's more, any idea imposed on me must have ulterior motives.
The Snow Bodhisattva was unmoved by my accusations, and the indifference on his face became more and more profound. Perhaps, in her eyes, personal life must be subordinated to the overall situation. It is not worth the slightest pity to sacrifice a few people for the sake of the final victory.
I know that among the values of Americans, especially in the creed of the soldiers in the military, they dare to sacrifice everything, even to the point of doing things that are unethical, for the sake of their country and their victory. In many American blockbusters and dramas, this guiding ideology is ubiquitous, completely deviating from the truth of people-oriented.
In this regard, it is very different from the way the Chinese do things.
"Mr. Long, neither you nor I are the highest decision-makers, nor are we the big names in the world, and the authority to win is not in our hands. That being the case, nothing you and I are talking about here will have an impact on the final outcome. Coming from Hong Kong Island to Dunhuang, I had to carry out my own mission and achieve my mission. Obviously, I'm just a tiny screw on a huge machine. Snow Bodhisattva said.
Her mood is not pessimistic or negative, but it is clear that such statements have harmed the interests of others. When the Great Shogun leads the men of the Yellow Flower Society to war with the Japanese ninjas, any pessimism weakens morale and makes the outcome of the battle confusing. Similarly, among Japanese ninjas, there are such negativity.
"You're carrying out orders? Whose orders are you executing? I asked.
The Snow Bodhisattva came from Hong Kong Island, while the general remained in Dunhuang. Therefore, it is impossible for her to carry out orders from the great general. What's more, there is a different hierarchical division of labor within the Yellow Flower Society. I believe that the status of the Snow Bodhisattva is not inferior to that of a great general, and there is no need to accept her leadership. Then it is obvious that above the Snow Bodhisattva and the Great General, there is a big man who is in charge of everything at this moment, commanding remotely. If Lei Dongtian was alert enough, he would have seen this and realized the identity of the big man.
"Mr. Long, you are a smart person, you know that there is no answer to such a question, so why bother to ask? The yellow flower will be a dragon, the dragon is in the clouds, you can't see the head but not the tail, even if you know who the big man is, then what's the point? The big man represents only the highest interests of the gang, not herself. Her name, life or death will not affect the development of the gang, as we see in our eyes, no matter who the president of the United States of America is, that country will always be like an invincible aircraft carrier, riding the wind and waves and sailing into the future. Snow Bodhisattva replied.
I couldn't help frowning slightly, the Snow Bodhisattva referred to the Yellow Flower Society as the United States of America, which shows that in her heart, the status of the gang is higher than that of all the members of the United Nations.
It can be seen that although she is pessimistic, she is loyal and implements the decisions of the big people above to the letter.
"If I really kill Bai Wanyang, who will be next?" I asked.
"I don't know, things are always developing, complex and changeable, the future is unpredictable, who knows the blessing and the bad luck?" Snow Bodhisattva replied.
"What if it's your turn or mine, what should we do?" I persistently asked.
Snow Bodhisattva shook her head, it seemed that she had thought about the same question, but she couldn't find an answer to it either.
"In that case, I feel like it's time to leave." I say.
My task is to send Bai Wanyang over, complete the general's instructions, and after sending the people, I should return to Dunhuang City, return to Meng Qiao, end this series of strange changes, and after a short rest, go to the anti-thief pit to solve the following problems.
The Black Wind and Sand turned into a ravine, separating all hostile forces, allowing everyone to calm down and reflect, avoiding a war that was in full swing.
Jade Fox Zen and I hid under the base, not only avoiding the strife outside, but also avoiding the black wind and sand, which is the lucky side. But unfortunately, Jade Fox Chan also fell into the calculation of the Yellow Flower Society, and his whereabouts are unknown.
