"Before I was born, I was a murderer."

With a playful smile, Yuan Dang looked at Yun Chongbo and said slowly: "The first person to kill is my brother." ”

Yuan Dang was originally a twin son, and he died at birth. For the low-level families in the troubled times, this is really not unusual, only Yuan Dang himself knows that that brother died in his own hands at all!

"It's strange, it's really strange, that I was conscious before I was born...... You can feel the lack of nutrition and anticipate the future...... The future in which the two die together, and more importantly, than that. ”

Carefully looking at Yun Chongbo's expression, Yuan Dang said lightly: "I still have the ability, the ability to strangle him." ”

Yuan Dang only knew that soon after he "wanted" to monopolize all the nutrients of his mother's body, the brother stopped developing and gradually atrophied.

"At that time, I felt that what I had taken from him was not only 'survival', but also 'destiny'...... But I don't know what that means? ”

"Fate?"

Suddenly understood, Yun Chongbo lost his voice and said, "That person, your brother, he ...... Also the undead?! ”

Nodding, Yuan Dang said: "Who the hell is it, it's not good to say, in short, there are two of us, one is 'three points' and the other is 'three don't'." ”

Ever since he knew that Yuan Dang was an immortal, Yun Chongbo couldn't understand why Yuan Dang could accommodate two Taiping Heavenly Soldiers as a person? Until now, I know the reason, although I still feel that there is something I don't understand, but there is an explanation in the end.

After that, there was nothing to say, but when I grew up—in troubled times—it would be extremely difficult to know that the Little Heavenly Kingdom could cause trouble, and without the "cooperation" of the imperial court.

Yuan Dang was born in a civilian family, he was hungry and full, and in this troubled world, it was even more difficult, and when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, his family finally could not support it.

"Then, not long after, because I was so hungry that I couldn't eat, I was found by the chief, punched and kicked me, and was beaten to death."

"Dead?"

Suddenly stunned, Yun Chongbo quickly understood, knowing that when it came to the big joint, he saw that Yuan Dang was also a little distracted, and said, "Then...... I met Taiping. ”

Secretly nodded, and said in his stomach: "No wonder", Yun Chongbo himself is also the person Taiping rescued from the world of life and death, and naturally knows the power of the torrent of time, although Taiping has repeatedly emphasized that there are many coincidences and luck, but when Yun Chongbo thinks about it, he always feels that Taiping is omnipotent, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be difficult for him.

"That time, I learned a lot...... It was also that time that I remembered your name. ”

Sweeping the clouds and rushing to the waves, Yuan Dang said lightly: "The immortal who was born three thousand years after me is the immortal who should be ugly and ugly...... Because of you, Yuan can enjoy a brilliant life. ”

“…… What exactly do you mean? ”

From the very beginning, Yuan Dang's attitude towards the sea has greatly troubled Yun Chongbo, even now, after combing and understanding almost all the history, he still doesn't understand what Yuan Dang means by "a splendid life, because of you"? I once suspected that Lu Hai had inadvertently rescued Yuan Dang, who had not been successful, but I felt that this seemed too legendary. Because, the more he knows about the temperament and life of the two, the more he feels that this kind of intersection is impossible.

I only heard Yuan Dang sigh and said: "The power of the Taiping people is beyond the ghosts and gods...... The strangeness of the torrent of time is really jaw-dropping......" looked at Yun Chongbo, and suddenly said: "Taiping met you, before he met me, or ...... If it weren't for you, I, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to meet Taiping! ”

"You mean ......"

Now he was really dumbfounded, his mouth was empty, but he couldn't say anything, Yun Chongbo only felt a mess in his brain, and it was easy to sort out a clue, and he said: "That is to say, Taiping met me first, and then ......"

If you think about it separately, it is not surprising: Taiping is beyond the torrent of time, although Yuan Dang was three thousand years before Yun Chongbo, it is meaningless to him, it is understandable to meet Yun Chongbo first and Yuan Dang later, but it is still difficult to accept Yun Chongbo to say so.

"That is to say, you have repeatedly thanked Lu Haihai, in fact, not to thank him, but ...... Thank me? ”

“…… That's right. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three thousand years ago, Yuan Dang was on the line of life and death, was pulled into the torrent of time, and met Taiping, and, unlike Yun Chongbo's time, his communication with Taiping was much longer and more detailed.

In this exchange, Taiping told Yuan Dang his identity, and also explained his identity, and even more clearly pointed out the other party's original "fate", which should be extinguished.

"But that would be a pity, because of your specialness, which has never been special in the history of the undead, because of the particularity of this era, there are only two special in the history of the undead."

Compared with Yun Chongbo at the beginning, Yuan Dang had a lot more communication with Taiping: in addition to also advancing and retreating in the torrent of time, observing his past and present lives, he also understood the general trend of the world from a macro perspective, knew the current situation of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, and got Taiping's mention, initially understood the source of his strength, and obtained the first promotion.

“…… And, all of this, it's because of you. ”

The exchange between Taiping and Yun Chongbo was the first in history: before, whether it was the undead or countless strong men and wise men, they tried all means, but at most they could only go back or move forward along the torrent of time for a few years, hidden in the underworld, those unpredictable laws and powers, so that they could not exert any influence outside their time and space.

“…… Until, you. ”

After countless attempts and countless experiences, Taiping was finally able to cut in at that point in time and exert his will a thousand years ago, although it was only the power of a punch, but that punch saved Yun Chongbo and brought countless changes to this world.

"But it's not so much about these changes that are more important to me."

For Yuan Dang, the most important thing is that this success enabled Taiping to finally make another attempt: to intervene in the time and space of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, the most pinnacle time and space in the history of Taiping Dao!

"In this way, he saved me, guided me, and inspired me...... He introduced me to my own history, gave me a lot of knowledge, and turned me from a dead man to a powerful man in the world. ”

"But ......"

has been thinking about a question, and finally found the conversation, Yun Chongbo frowned and asked Yuan Dang, why, he was reborn, but he became an enemy of Taiping Dao?

"You ask this?"

Looking at Yun Chongbo very funny, Yuan Dang said, "Yes, you can know." ”

"But, you have to answer me a question first."

"Why...... Can you find out that I'm not Chang Gung? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“…… I do not know. ”

The honest answer made Yuan Dang's eyebrows immediately frown, but they quickly collapsed because of what he said later.

"I just don't think it's right, this dream is different from many previous dreams, and your tone also makes me feel very familiar......"

After thinking about it, Yun Chongbo said with certainty: "Especially, before you speak, you have to memorize two lines of poetry, this habit is not good, if you want to pretend to be a person, you have to change your habit first." ”

In Yun Chongbo, the most unforgettable record of Yuan Dang is the battle of Fengyue's death, which is a battle, and the sea from martial arts to mind was overwhelmingly defeated by Yuan Dang, and the seemingly proud "stay until September 8 in autumn" has brought countless nightmares to the sea. Therefore, the emotional poetry of "Chang Gung" just now was simply a powerful stimulus, which shocked him and made him vigilant.

"But...... But ......"

After saying two "buts" in a row, Yuan Dang's face alternated with various expressions such as surprise, unwillingness, and bitter smile, and finally turned into an uncontrollable wild laugh.

“…… A crime of non-war, a crime of non-war! ”

Even laughing with tears, Yuan Dang patted Yun Chongbo's shoulder and congratulated him...... His luck.

"In order for you to believe that I am Chang Gung, in order to make myself believe that I am Chang Gung...... I imitate every habit of his...... But I forgot that Chang Gung, who you know, still lived three thousand years ago, and was still the godking of that little heavenly kingdom! ”

"Wait, you mean?!"

Yuan Dang's laughter contained too much information, and Yun Chongbo wanted to ask, but was stopped by Yuan Dang with a resolute wave of his hand.

"It doesn't matter, if you can know, you will know sooner or later......"

With his hands behind his back and pacing back and forth for a few steps, Yuan Dangfu looked at Yun Chongbo, and in his eyes, there was an endless depth that Yun Chongbo couldn't see.

"I don't like your answer, but it's an answer, so ...... Now it's up to me to answer you. ”

"I, why should I be the enemy of the Little Heavenly Kingdom!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miss Zhu, why do you bother?"

There was a sound of laughter, sharp and piercing, but Zhu Zimu didn't hear it, just squinted his eyes and drew his bow - as soon as he let go of his hand, he immediately heard the blood and flesh splashing, and there seemed to be the sound of bones cracking.

But there was no joy, let alone joy, Zhu Zimu didn't, Ao Xingxing didn't, and there was no one under the servants of the Zhu family.

Because, although the arrow hit the target, it did not shoot the target - no, the word "kill" may not be correct, how can a person who already knows life and death talk about a "kill"?

Just now, Ao Xingxing tried his best to resist the thieves and see through Boyang, he should have everything under control, but he didn't expect that he would not be an opponent, and he was even more injured by a heavy hand, although he felt that the injury did not seem to be serious - and there was no trouble, but it seemed to eat him and hurt his muscles and bones, no matter how he gritted his teeth, he just couldn't lift his strength.

Bo Yang acted, ruthless and resolute, originally to make Ao happy, but the maid of the Zhu family, Afu, turned her face at this time, put on the five dragon armor, raised the Qiankun bow, shot back Bo Yang with three arrows, and saved Ao Xingxing, this time not only the two were shocked, but the Zhu family was also shocked, and they knew that this inconspicuous little maid was the real eldest lady of the Zhu family, Zhu Zimu! He even has a unique skill, and he seems to have practiced the arrow of nine kills!

If you put it right at close range, Bo Yang's martial arts are weird and ruthless, and there is an unpredictable poison skill, Zhu Zimu feels that she can't please it, but she is strong in preemptive strike, and just shot Bo Yang has been injured and retreated, and even more strong bows and arrows, and guarding a gate, Bo Yang tried to attack several times, and she shot back, but added another injury.

Seeing that Zhu Zimu's archery is powerful, Bo Yang is helpless, escaped into the bandits, and drove the forward attack, how can Zhu Zimu shoot really ruthlessly, the arrow is not in vain, and he takes the throat, and in a blink of an eye, he has shot six people, and he can even shoot three arrows with one bow, Rao is bandit leans on the crowd to attack, and after the current three people fell down at the same time, they stopped. No matter how Boyang glooms his face, he can't drive it away.

If the situation is like this, it will be a stalemate, Zhu Zi Mu Ao is happy to feel a little wider, but he doesn't want to, the number of sheep can't be moved, but his face sank, his hand was like the wind, like a swimming dragon, in the blink of an eye, the thieves ate him and knocked him down!

This time it seemed that the enemy had changed, but Zhu Zimu didn't dare to be careless, and when he saw that the bandits got up one by one after a while, they still attacked the generals - but their movements were much slower. When I looked closely, my eyes were dull and very unfocused. When Zhu Zimu fired the arrow again, he found that the other party was not dodging or dodging!

"Miss Zhu...... You can be regarded as a masterful shot, but it is also a human body, I want to see, how many shots can you shoot before they break through the Zhu family? ”

bluntly said that this person has been controlled by his own medicine, his mind is lost, he does not know the pain, and he is especially terrifying, so he will have three broken tubes and a split head, and he will not fall down for a while, and will still stumble towards Zhujiabao.

"That's right, that's it, shoot both legs...... But so in the future, they will continue to climb forward...... Miss, you're going to have to shoot them off with both hands...... Be careful, you're going to have to come in! ”

In front of him, the other party was black and pressed and didn't know whether it was dead or alive, slowly approaching, Zhu Jiabao up and down hundreds of people, all of them changed color and battle, only Zhu Zimu still had a calm face, unmoved, but there was sweat on his forehead.

Although she is a woman, she knows the law of military warfare, and she originally had a heart of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", and she just wanted to shoot the sheep to death.

But Zhu Zimu is also really good, seeing this, the arrow is shot fast, the potential on the arrow is contained, when the body is like a giant tree bombardment, the beast bites, often an arrow hit, it will destroy most of the opponent's body, such as a moment, actually shot down more than ten people on the ground, fighting for the mountain bandits, there are still nearly 30 people, and I see that it has poured out of the door.

"Miss...... First, let's retreat first! ”

"Nonsense!"

Hearing the persuasion of his family, Zhu Zimu was angry and said, "I won't go there either!" Saying that he held the bow with hatred, and when he wanted to shoot the arrow again, he shook violently, although the arrow was off the string, but it flew a few steps and fell to the ground, and his face was even more blood-red - she sent an arrow like this, although the power was great, but the consumption was also extremely large, and this time the mind was excited, and she took a dangerous step to the true qi, and was busy breathing a few times, but saw that the thief was near.

"Brother Bu...... In the next, serve! ”

Suddenly, I heard Ao Xingxing sigh, and there was frustration in his voice.

"Fight wits and courage, you win...... Our family is convinced, but we only want one sentence. ”

Looking at the center of the bandits, Ao said happily: "Your Excellency has excellent minds and very means, but you ...... Who is entrusted to do this?! ”

As soon as he said this, there was a commotion on the other side, and they stopped, which surprised everyone, and several people from the Zhu family looked at Ao Xingxing, and their eyes were quite admired.

"Good question......

There was silence for a while, Bo Yangfang slowly opened his voice, but there was no anger or joy in it, quiet as water, Ao Xing listened to it in his ears, and felt even more palpitations, only to hear him say slowly, but he was talking to Zhu Zimu.

"But, when I don't ask, I have to be able to break it down...... Miss Zhu, if I tell you that I really love you...... It's not that I love your beautiful stand-in, but I love your ugly body...... Can you believe it? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"After knowing 'who I am', after leaving the torrent of time, I wanted to go to Little Heaven immediately, but in order to better get acquainted with 'myself', I decided to wait three days before I went on the road."

Under Taiping's suggestion, Yuan Dang recovered his memories of the past life, and also recovered his invincible martial arts and strength, and in this step, he had defeated most of the immortals in the Little Heavenly Kingdom Array at that time.

"We immortals carry countless memories of the dead, but in most cases, we can't remember everything clearly, and you should know this."

Seeing Yun Chongbo nodding, Yuan Dang sleeved his hands and said: "But on that day, I was able to suddenly open up, and at the same time I obtained the power of 'three points' and 'three farewells', and overnight, I already had the seventh level of strength in my hands." ”

But this is still not enough, Yuan Dang knows very well that although the power is strong, the martial arts are wonderful, but it is not his own thing, this road is difficult and dangerous, if there is a change in the road, he may not be able to protect himself.

"So, I found a place and thought quietly for three days, wanting to get acquainted with these powers that suddenly appeared on me, and also to carefully consider the strategy for going."

"During those three days, I tasted happiness that I had never tasted before, and I continued to dig out stronger power and more moves from within my heart, as if they had long been sleeping in my body, and with every attempt, I continued to generate greater power and more changes."

Far more smoothly than planned, at noon on the third day, Yuan Dang had already raised his strength to the eighth level, and he also believed that he had been able to control those martial arts that seemed to suddenly arise from his brain, so he was happy, and decided to rest in advance, and the next morning, he rushed to the ground of the Little Heavenly Kingdom.

"Then, on the last night, something came to my mind."

Sezuo groaned, Yuan Dang sighed softly, and said: "Over the years, I have always thought that if my entry did not go well in those three days, if I had not been so nervous and excited that night that I couldn't sleep...... If I hadn't suddenly flashed that thought, what would happen to Yuan in this life?! ”

As he spoke, his emotions were actually slightly excited—Yun Chongbo didn't know how to answer, so he could only listen in a daze.

Sighing twice, Yuan Dangfang said: "That night, I didn't sleep all night, and the next day, I was still on the road, but ...... It's not about going to the Little Heavenly Kingdom. ”

After that, Yuan Dang spent a year walking the world, observing the terrain, inspecting the people's livelihood, and reading hundreds of classics.

"I entered the imperial capital, and I also arrived in Tianjing, I walked through them one by one, opened my eyes until I wanted to break open, opened my ears until they were about to crack, I looked, I listened, I remembered...... I'm thinking, thinking about a question. ”

"For a whole year, I thought about this question and wanted an answer."

Speaking of this, Yuan Dang suddenly stopped again, looked at Yun Chongbo, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a faint smile: "What problem do I think...... DID YOU KNOW? ”

"Hmm......"

After hesitating again and again, Yun Chongbo couldn't think of a clue - he had never felt that Yuan Dang was unfathomable, but he had the confidence to figure out his mind?

“…… I do not know. ”

Looking at Yun Chongbo, who shook his head calmly, Yuan Dang pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said, "...... I wonder how the little kingdom of heaven failed! ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Still don't understand?"

Looking at Yun Chongbo, a strange light flashing in his eyes, Yuan Dang said word for word: "I want to know, in the case of 'without me', how the Little Heavenly Kingdom will fail!" ”

"Why are you!?"

Anger suddenly appeared, Yun Chongbo suddenly stood up, approached a few steps, and almost spewed fire in his eyes.

Since entering the brocade, Yun Chongbo often feels that he is living two lives at the same time...... Again and again, night after night of dreams, in him, the little kingdom of heaven is no longer a memory of "going to the sea", but more and more "himself" life, and even, he will gradually forget who he is in confusion, forget who he is, who he is.

"What right do you have to talk like that...... Because you are afraid of death, you betrayed the peace, right? You've betrayed everyone?! Do you still think you're smart?! ”

Not noticing that his voice was constantly raising and almost roaring, Yun Chongbo didn't even notice that his anger was just rushing towards the other party.

-- How much of that is anger at yourself? How much of that is hatred for yourself?

angrily reprimanded Yuan Dang's "weakness" and Yuan Dang's "evasion", but he didn't realize that his words were already confused, and not all the things he complained about were Yuan Dang's actions.

didn't notice it, until he scolded until his throat was hoarse, his mouth was bitter, he was scolded until there was a faint colic in his abdomen, and he was scolded until his legs began to weaken, and Yun Chongbo's voice gradually decreased, but it still didn't stop.

"Why did you flee, why did you betray...... Even without you, we would almost win, if we had you, if we had you......"

“…… That's enough. ”

Suddenly, he grabbed Yun Chongbo's throat and picked him up, Yuan Dang stared at his eyes, and said in a very slow, but very cold voice:

“…… Without me? Without me, the Little Kingdom of Heaven will inevitably fail. There will be no second possibility. ”

"Vulgar people and wasters abound, but I still think you can understand ......"

With a slight force, Yun Chongbo was thrown more than ten zhang away, Yuan Dang stared at him, and his voice was becoming more and more poisonous.

"I thought you could understand, because Taiping praised you highly, because you never turned back, and because of ...... Because you don't have a dream of giving up on yourself after all. ”

"But so what?!"

"The wise man chooses the good and is stubborn, but what if the fool?!"

"If you can't figure this out, you don't deserve to talk to me anymore...... You, let me die here! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

was thrown far away, Yun Chongbo fell to the ground, his whole body was in pain, and the whole person was a little stunned.

(What's the reason?) What did he figure out? ）

For a long time, "the inevitable failure of the Little Heavenly Kingdom" is a piece of Yun Chongbo's heart disease, from the words of Gongsun Sansheng to Chang Gung's worries, all of which made him feel that perhaps, in the dream of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, and even the Taiping Dao, there are really fatal flaws that cannot be made up or perfected, but on the one hand, he suffers from not reading much, and on the other hand, he has missed the interpretation of these big people again and again, and he has never been able to understand what the defect may be, or what it should be.

（…… Can't think of it)

(However, he came up with it...... Overnight, before plunging into the Little Heavenly Kingdom, he figured it out. ）

(Although, he was only a soldier at the lowest level, with no knowledge or experience, he came up with it.) ）

(Me and him...... It's so far off...... ）

Lying quietly, the anger on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by a frustration that was difficult to hide.

"I'm sorry."

Turning over and standing up, Yun Chongbo slapped a dozen of the ashes on his body, his expression had returned to calm, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Oh?"

Sneering, Yuan Dang said, "I can't beat it...... Did you say a kind word? It's a pity that you are humiliating yourself by playing this hand on me. ”

"Say whatever you want......"

Smiling bitterly, Yun Chongbo lowered his head, indicating that he really couldn't think of it.

"So, I want you to tell me...... Why. ”

Unwilling to bow his head in front of this person, but he wanted to see the direction in this chaos, Yun Chongbo gritted his teeth and admitted that he was not as good as Yuan Dang.

"I just want to know, the Little Heavenly Kingdom, or our Taiping Dao, in the end, why, must it fail?"

"Please...... Tell me! ”

"Pleading...... I tell you, this world only recognizes power, and asks for nothing! ”

The tone was heavy, but Yuan Dang still sighed, walked up to Yun Chongbo, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know that you don't know much about the current Taiping Dao, and even have a lot of thoughts about them, but I also know that your loyalty and confidence in Taiping do exist, otherwise...... You can't get out of that dream on your own. ”

Turning around and holding his hands behind his back, Yuan Dangran said: "But, tell me, whether it's your loyalty or confidence, in the end...... Where did it come from? ”

Where did it come from?

Yun Chongbo really didn't think about this question himself.

"I think that's because peace has finally come...... Although others don't know, I know. ”

The half sentence that was not said was "You also know", as a person who has also seen Taiping and confirmed the peaceful world thousands of years later, Yun Chongbo didn't understand why Yuan Dang's pessimism was so strong.

"Yes, you believe in the future, because you have seen peace...... So you have faith in Taiping, you know that the efforts of the undead will eventually pay off, and the Taiping World will eventually come, so you will have confidence in the current Taiping Dao, you know that they will not sacrifice in vain, and their dreams will be realized after all...... But have you ever thought about another thing? ”

“…… What's the matter? ”

Still didn't understand what Yuan Dang was going to say, but he faintly felt some inexplicable uneasiness, and tried to suppress the cloud of these emotions

"You should understand, no one else understands better than us, it's just the two of us......"

Looking at Yun Chongbo, with sadness in his eyes, Yuan Dang said: "Haven't you ever thought that the Taiping will be able to succeed in the future, in addition to proving that the Taiping World is not a flash in the pan, it also means...... Fail. ”

"For 5,000 years, every era, including you and me...... The pursuit of peace failed...... Until, their time...... By now, do you understand what I mean?! ”

…… Of course I do.

The appearance of Taiping is undoubtedly a good news, a powerful good news, telling the Taiping believers that the path they are holding is not wrong, and their dreams will eventually come true in the future.

However, for those who have struggled in all eras, the emergence of Taiping is even more bad news, a strong and powerful bad news, telling them that all their efforts are in vain, they will not be able to see their dreams become a reality, their sacrifices, their dedication, their blood and sweat, everything, will be part of the losers, annihilated in the dust of history.

"This is just a reasoning, and it has nothing to do with the understanding of human nature or the study of Taiping Dao...... So, you're thinking of me so much. ”

That night, Yuan Dang was shocked by his reasoning and realized that the goal he was about to go to was a doomed cause.

"I don't know, I can't know, how it will fail, and why it will fail, I just know the outcome, the outcome, the incorrect outcome."

"So ......"

“…… Wrong! ”

Suddenly interrupting Yuan Dang's speech, Yun Chongbo felt that he was very excited, but he was very confused, and he couldn't sort out a clear idea, so he could only shake his hands and say, "You wait a minute, let me think about it, let me think about it." ”

Holding his head, Yun Chongbo squatted on the ground, and Yuan Dang didn't bother him, holding his hands and watching quietly.

"I don't think you're entirely right when you say that."

Finally adjusted his thoughts, Yun Chongbo slowly expressed his meaning: Yuan Dang's speculation can at most show that the former Little Heavenly Kingdom and today's Taiping Dao will definitely fail.

"However, that is the 'original' history, and in that history, there is no you, there is no me......"
