Chapter 53: The Bonds of Fate
With the help of the light of the orb, the two of them walked deeper from the small 'hole' on the side of the mountain's 'cave', and the narrow mountain 'cave' only lasted for a moment, and soon ushered in an open space again.
This second stone chamber was indeed six or seven points larger than the sarcophagus said, and it was full of weapons and blades, some of which had been rusted by the erosion of time, but most of them were still as sharp as ever, and the forging skills of the snake demon clan should not be underestimated.
At the edge of the stone room, there were some exercise cheats scattered, Wang Lung casually flipped through a few books, but also found that they were all low-level exercises, which were useless for himself and Jiang Xue at the moment.
But it's no wonder that the exercises here are originally intended to prepare for the clansmen who finally evaded here, and to fight to the death, naturally it can't be so profound.
The two of them were more focused on the way out, and from the records in the sarcophagus, they knew that there should be an exit to the outside world for the defeated snake demon clan to transfer.
But after looking for a long time, I found nothing.
Both of them had stubborn tempers, and they searched for an unknown number of hours, and finally even moved every blade weapon, and touched every inch of the 'hole' wall with their own hands, but there was still no clue.
After another half an hour, the two of them finally gave up, knowing that there must be some mechanism or something in it, and they had to touch it to find the exit.
The 'cave' was stuffy, Wang Lung had been here for half a day, and he was really a little irritable, so he said to Jiang Xue: "Why don't you and I go out first to take a breath, and then continue to look for it when we come back." ”
Jiang Xue's face was pale, her forehead was slightly sweaty, and she nodded slightly.
The two of them returned the same way, passed the stone 'cave' where the sarcophagus and a bunch of spiritual seats were located, and then walked forward, ran sideways from the waterfall that covered the entrance of the 'hole', and returned to the waterfall and the forbidden land.
However, at this moment, most of the 'day' has passed, and it is already night's 'color', and the moon is in the sky.
Although it was not as bright as the eyes, the fresh and pure air outside still made people feel refreshed, and Wang Lung let out a long breath and lay down on a large rock next to the waterfall.
Jiang Xue smiled lightly, and on a stone beside her, she gently brushed off the dust with her sleeve, got up and sat down.
Under the faint moon 'color', Jiang Xue is dressed in white like a fairy, not to mention the waterfall and flowing water on the side, which makes a gentle sound, but it adds to the quietness. She looked up at the moon in the sky and was silent.
Wang Lung secretly glanced at Jiang Xue with his eyes, and saw that Qinghui was sprinkled on her face like 'jade', exuding a holy light, which was really like a fairy in the Moon Palace, making people dare not 'force' to look.
Jiang Xue seemed to feel his gaze, turned her head slightly, Wang Lung hurriedly covered up, patted her stomach and said, "It's just a little hungry, otherwise such a beautiful night is quite comfortable." ”
"Indeed......" Jiang Xue actually responded softly, lowering her head slightly: "You can forget who you are here, and you don't have to care about all the love and hatred, all kinds of entanglements, how carefree." ”
Wang Lung paused, sat up and asked, "Miss Jiangxue...... But what's on your mind?"
In normal times, he would never and could not ask this, but at this time, Su Yue Qinghui, the wilderness was silent, and the whole world seemed to be only the only two of them, what else was there to say.
Jiang Xue's body trembled slightly, shook her head and said, "Who wouldn't have it...... Sometimes I think that people only have such a short life, and they should live only for themselves at all costs, but it's a pity...... Everyone is born with their own mission and value. The people around you, the things around you, combine into a big net called fate, enveloping you, driving you, making you move forward step by step, but you don't know why. ”
"Do you want to live for yourself?" Wang Lung smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "I used to have this thought, but now it seems to be the whisper of an innocent child. But...... Maybe there will be that day, when I complete my mission and take all my responsibilities, maybe there will be a day when I will be at ease!"
Jiang Xue glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "How can there be an end? The burden on your body is even heavier than mine, and the suffering you have suffered since childhood is probably no less than that of anyone else in the world, and the hardships you have endured in exchange are not liberation, but heavier responsibilities! Sometimes when I see you, I feel ...... I'm not so pitiful. ”
Wang Lung was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I secretly played such a role, and I didn't even realize it......"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "That's because you are strong enough to be able to bury everything in your heart and not tell others." Everyone's fate may be predestined, just like me, just like you, just like Li Xinghe and Liu Chengyan, they are all tied to this net and cannot break free. ”
She paused and sighed softly: "So I don't want to have any 'intersection' with others, that will only hurt them, I would rather choose to be ruthless." ”
Wang Lung knew that she was talking about Liu Chengyan, but his heart moved, was she explaining something to herself? Or did she mean something else?
"But blindly dodging is not the way, you say that fate is a big net composed of other people and other things, but the power to break fate may also be in the people and things around you?" Wang Lung said with a bit of temptation.
Jiang Xue glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "Maybe, but I don't have the strength to try." ”
"Why not? After all, you're just a young girl, and no matter how cold and silent you look on the outside, you still have some expectations for the world in your heart, right?"
“...... Maybe it's because I don't want to be a drag on others! Of course, I don't want people to be a drag on me. Jiang Xue stood up, looked at the moon and said in a deep voice.
"Are you from Dragon City?" Wang Lung suddenly asked with a smile.
Jiang Xue was stunned, not knowing why he asked, but still nodded and said, "Naturally, yes." ”
Wang Lung also stood up, looked at her, and said with a smile: "Since I am from Dragon City, it will inevitably drag me down, and I will inevitably be dragged down, because I am going to be the next leader!"
For a moment, there was silence in the valley.
Wang Lung had never told anyone this, and no one would know what his future would be when his identity was so ambiguous, but he didn't hesitate to say it at the moment.
Jiang Xue was also stunned when she heard it, and was moved by Wang Lung's honest and confident smile.
After a while, Jiang Xue suddenly showed a smile and said, "You said this, do you want me to 'handover' something in exchange?" Okay, I can tell you something, but I want to see how you can help me......
