Chapter 516: This Tree, That Tree (Two in One)
According to Pei Pu's speed, it didn't take long to chase after the previous person along the way from Xizhou City, but he remembered some things on the way, because these things had happened hundreds of years ago, and in retrospect, he couldn't think of many details clearly, so he could only sort out the context of the matter through guò memory.
After he was convinced that these things were enough for him to prove one thing to the man, he sped up and hurried over, and finally caught up before the other party entered the Junzhou boundary.
But he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have expected him to follow, so he stood at the state border of the two states, waited for Pei Pu to follow, and then raised his feet and fell into Junzhou.
At first, he felt unhappy, but when he remembered who he was up against, he was relieved. Not only relieved, but it was too late for him to be happy about the other party's move, so how could he mind because of this?
Li Fengqi, isn't this what he's best at? If you say who has the greatest credit for the completion of the book "Four Elephants", it is neither Guo Sixiang nor his Pei Pu, but Li Fengqi, who has never even appeared in the book.
Guo Sixiang is the one who has the least credit - or effort - in this, Pei Pu is not a proud person, he admits that he is not as good as Li Fengqi, but he does not want Guo Sixiang to be in front of him.
Of course, this is only the aspect of life deduction, if you look at it comprehensively, Pei Pu must also admit that Guo Sixiang is undoubtedly the strongest of the three, and he himself is second, and Li Fengqi is undoubtedly at the bottom.
At this time, it is not as good as in the past, in the past, Li Fengqi had Guo Sixiang's protection, and he couldn't treat him well, now...... Although it took some effort, if the other party insisted on turning against him, he didn't mind sending his brother and sister together.
"Did you do the accident in Jizhou that day?" Pei Pu stood still, ignoring Li Fengqi's words, and opened his mouth to ask for verification.
"It's all unintentional, and I didn't do anything deliberately." Li Fengqi chuckled, that day, he just lost the two states that Xiao Shurang had worked so hard to fight, in the final analysis, it was not aimed at anyone, it was just a coincidence! However, even if he knew that it was due to his own reasons, he would not make up for anything, after all, in his opinion, what he did was already the way of heaven in a certain sense, not to mention the situation at that time that he was indeed "unintentional" - wouldn't this even more seem to have no selfish desires, only the will of heaven in it?
"After all, you still can't get together......" After answering Pei Pu's question, Li Fengqi shook his head slightly, and still said what he wanted to say.
"There is no possibility of getting together, so how can we talk about 'after all'?" Pei Pu laughed, as if he said this from the other party's mouth, what a ridiculous thing.
"Senior brother is a little casual...... He has always only done things according to his own preferences, and when you want to compete with him, he has this attitude, and then he ...... That's the attitude, right? Li Fengqi didn't know what happened after that, he didn't know what had happened in the past six or seven hundred years, maybe he could find out the trivial things that had happened in the world in the past few hundred years from the history books, but if he wanted to know what happened between Senior Brother and Pei Pu, it would be better to ask them themselves.
Guo Sixiang is already dead, so naturally he can't ask. Only Pei Pu can ask.
"The country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, not to mention that he is casual, but he is also notoriously stubborn." Pei Pu rarely thought about what Guo Sixiang was like at that time, but he didn't know why, after Li Fengqi said this, he was able to tell his opinion of Guo Sixiang on the ground.
Maybe this is because there are only two of them in the world who are "old and immortal", although the relationship is hostile, but there are also feelings for the old people, and the only people who are qualified to listen to their own heart-wrenching words are only each other.
"That year, he pretended to accept my competition, but what happened?" Speaking of the competition between the two, Pei Pu felt grievances and resentments in his heart, "As a result, he asked you for help, but he just regarded this competition as child's play and occasionally participated in it, but spent a lot of time on establishing what four sorrows!" ”
"Even so, he's still doing well, isn't he?" For Pei Pu's dissatisfaction, Li Fengqi has no other way, this matter itself is the fault of their senior brothers, Pei Pu found Guo Sixiang to try to deduce, and Guo Sixiang was not interested in this matter, but he Li Fengqi was eager to try hard, and begged Guo Sixiang many times before the other party agreed to come down for him, but Li Fengqi was worried that he would not do well, so he resolutely asked Guo Sixiang not to expose his name.
Of course, there is another purpose for this: in case he can't cope with it, it is Guo Sixiang's name that he bears, and when the time comes, Guo Sixiang will cherish his reputation or not want his junior brother to be bullied, he will have a reason to help.
Guo Sixiang only has this one junior brother, and according to his actual age, he is nearly a hundred years older than this Li Fengqi.
Under the name of "Guo Sixiang", Li Fengqi and Pei Pu went back and forth to deduce the rise and fall of the secular world for the next 800 years, and in the process, what made Pei Pu unbelievable was that although the two were no different under the general trend of launching, the deduction results of "Guo Sixiang" could always be more accurate than their own, many times Pei Pu just launched the result of things, and when it fell into the hands of "Guo Sixiang", he was able to deduce the reason for the result!
Knowing that the other party is stronger than himself, Pei Pu is still unwilling, and whenever he wants to wait for the "next time" to take a breath, he often breaks his promise, which slowly pushes back from the original agreement of five hundred years to eight hundred years.
Eight hundred years later, Guo Sixiang suddenly said to him that he would not continue to compare, although Pei Pu was unwilling, but this matter was originally a "game" that two people could play to play, one party did not want to play, and for the other party, this competition was meaningless.
Pei Pu always thought that Guo Sixiang was tired of this kind of calculation, and it wasn't until many years later that he didn't know that the reason why he stopped and didn't continue to deduce was because Li Fengqi was gone.
"What I'm good at is shuttling, and when you calculate, count ......ants under the tree in the distance from this point," Li Fengqi chuckled, pointed to a big tree more than ten zhang away in front of him, and explained: "When I calculate...... Maybe it's not a reckoning, but I'm standing under the big tree and counting the ants...... So I can count more clearly than you every time. ”
Li Fengqi undoubtedly concealed his "cheating" methods, and explained directly to Pei Pu: "I have never made mistakes in my calculations so many times in the past, until the last time. ”
"You're saying it has something to do with your disappearance?" Pei Pu frowned and pondered, and asked as if he had realized something.
"Missing...... I'm afraid that at that time, I didn't expect to almost lose my life because of my little curiosity! Sighing lightly, Li Fengqi recalled: "What I saw at that time was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything at all, so naturally I couldn't say anything 'deduction'...... You should have had this experience at the time, right? ”
"Yes, I have been calculating for a long time, but I always feel that there is an extra link in it, this ring is abrupt, if you don't take it into account, it seems to be reasonable, but after seeing that it is unreasonable everywhere, but if you consider this ring, I have no clue about this link......" Remembering that he had been working tirelessly for an inexplicable small link for three years, Pei Pu is still haunted by it.
"I didn't know at the time that you also encountered such a problem, otherwise you wouldn't have quietly done that dangerous thing behind your back......" Speaking of this, Li Fengqi's face was full of regret, his regret was not because he had wasted hundreds of years, but because he did not listen to his senior brother Guo Sixiang's words at that time, and even more because he didn't expect that he and Guo Sixiang would say goodbye that day, and there would be no time to see each other again.
"What you call a 'dangerous thing' is shuttle?" When he finished sighing, Pei Pu asked.
"The shuttle itself is not dangerous, in fact, I have always used this 'shuttle', but this time I did not use the 'through', but the crossing." Speaking of this, Li Fengqi actually smiled proudly like a child: "The so-called Shun Piercing means that I can freely shuttle into a certain future event that has not yet happened in this world, which is why I said that I am standing under the big tree and counting ants." ”
"What about crossing?" Listening to Li Fengqi's explanation, Pei Pu was not surprised, he had already heard from Li Fengqi's words that the key to what the other party said was "crossing", which was what he called "dangerous".
"Crossing...... It's just that there are no ants under this tree, I'll go under the tree next to it and see if there's any ......" He raised his finger again and pointed to the tree in front of him, only this time Li Fengqi's finger pointed to another tree next to the tree just now.
"This ......" Pei Pu frowned slightly, thinking carefully about what Li Fengqi said, and it didn't take long for him to look at the other party with a shocked face, as if he had thought of the meaning of what the other party said, but he couldn't fully believe it, staring at the other party and eagerly needing the other party to give a definite answer.
"This, my husband knows, is where he often goes when he's bored; My senior brother knows that although my senior brother has never been there, he has heard from my husband, but because his ability is not suitable for such a toss, he has not been able to go...... I heard it from my senior brother, and I went there secretly once before, and found that except for us people, the rest are no different from this place, and even the history that happened in the past is the same...... That's right, in addition to where we are, there is actually another place like this. ”
Looking at Pei Pu's shocked appearance, Li Fengqi was secretly proud in his heart, this was something that even his senior brother Guo Sixiang didn't know, he didn't sue Guo Sixiang before because he was worried that he would be scolded for it, but now he sued Pei Pu, knowing that Pei Pu's ability would not be able to get to that place - in the whole world, there is no one left who has the ability to do this, right?
"In other words, your method is that since you can't see through here, you run over there, and then you can go through the future there, and then you can know what will happen?" Pei Pu deserves to be called Pei Pu, not only did he quickly recover from the shock, but he also revealed Li Fengqi's plan at that time, which really surprised Li Fengqi.
"That's it......" Li Fengqi nodded with a chuckle, but the smile didn't last long, so he changed his gloomy expression and said: "Originally, if this was the case, then I would have won you, but who knew that when I wanted to come back, I found that this matter had become much worse." ”
"How bad is the law?" Pei Pu asked with a slight movement in his expression.
"Xuanwu can shuttle through yin and yang, so people often use the law of the turtle to ask for good fortune like yin and darkness, and then return to the yang world." Li Fengqi suddenly talked about Xuanwu, but Pei Pu didn't show any annoyance, because he knew that since the other party said so, there must be a reason.
"Xuanwu is actually composed of two spirit beasts, a snake and a turtle, you know?" Li Fengqi asked Pei Pu, and without waiting for Pei Pu to answer, he suddenly laughed at himself: "You naturally know...... My situation at that time was like this, if I were that Xuanwu, I would have been a turtle and a snake, and I was not afraid of yin and yang; When I wanted to come back, I found that the snake was gone, and only the turtle remained. ”
"How is this possible?" Pei Pu was surprised and exclaimed, although Li Fengqi's words had not yet been fully explained, Pei Pu had already understood what the other party meant: his ability could not be brought into play! This "can't be played" is not just an explanation that has disappeared, but also may have been sealed by some force, or moved elsewhere...... It's just that the table is on Li Fengqi, so it just can't be played.
"People say that the turtle is one of the four spirits, a thousand years of hair, a life span of 5,000 years is called a turtle, and a life span of 10,000 years is called a spirit turtle......" Li Fengqi ignored Pei Pu's reaction and continued his "turtle theory", "Shuttling yin and yang may not be counted, but the final fate is inseparable from this yin and yang, I have become a blind man, I don't know how many years I have lived, and I have been inexplicably locked in a death row, as if there is no zài, I am used to seeing some of them enter alive, but after all, they are dead and out...... I can't see them, and they can't seem to see me......"
"You mean, you don't even know how you're blind and who locked you up?" After listening to Li Fengqi talk so much, a cold meaning suddenly grew in Pei Pu's heart: if Li Fengqi had this encounter, Pei Pu absolutely believed that if he encountered this situation, he would definitely not be able to escape his fate.
"I didn't know at first." Li Fengqi chuckled, saw the essence in Pei Pu's eyes flash, and continued: "After I came back, I thought about it, but I also figured it out. ”
"Who is it?" Almost impatiently, when Li Fengqi's words fell, Pei Pu asked in surprise.
"Hmph......" Li Fengqi was silent, and when Pei Pu was about to get angry, he noticed that although the other party did not speak, his hand was stretched out with his index finger, pointing straight to a certain place.
When Pei Pu saw the end of the index finger pointing, his face changed drastically, and he almost fainted.
The direction of the index finger is not who it is, and it is not even easy to say what kind of thing this thing should belong to, but Pei Pu knows that this thing does exist, and what is even more frightening is that it is also everywhere and all the time.
This thing is called "God" by the common people, and they are used to calling it "Tao".
The upward point is the "Heavenly Dao".
"I thought about it, and there was nothing that could trap me so easily." Sneering, Li Fengqi raised his head and carefully looked at the sky at this time, at this time it was close to dusk, and some colorful clouds had gradually grown in the western sky, which seemed to be flames for a while, and like blooming flowers for a while.
"If you want to be against me, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to do, right?" Coming back to his senses, Li Fengqi asked Pei Pu bluntly.
"It's not an easy thing to do...... Pei Pu shook his head and said frankly: "If I hurt you, I still have to risk my own injury, and if I kill you, it will definitely not end well." ”
This is not consistent with Pei Pu's estimation at the beginning, but it is not because he wants to praise him in front of Li Fengqi, but because Pei Pu's mood has changed slightly at this time, and he has no other thoughts at first, so he is mind-to-heart, and if he wants to kill Li Fengqi, he will only suffer some serious injuries, and he will be able to recover after decades of work...... But not now, because he listened to the other party's words, his heart was no longer as calm as Fang Cai, and it would be no good for anyone to act in a hurry.
Couldn't what Li Fengqi said be false?
For this, Pei Pu never thought of doubting it. People who have reached their level will watch others do some things, and they will never let go of their identity to do it...... Lying is one of them.
After all, not everyone like them can be like Guo Sixiang and don't take such a nihilistic thing as "face" to heart.
"But...... How did you get back? "Since Li Fengqi has been locked up, his eyes are also blind, but looking at his current appearance, there is not much difference from seven hundred years ago, the only thing that can be said to be a little different, probably is that the eyes after seeing the light again have become more profound...... Maybe it has been blurred from the darkness for too long, and I don't know why, Pei Pu will unconsciously avoid Li Fengqi's eyes when he accidentally sees them several times...... Although he was ashamed of this, he couldn't meet it after trying it several times.
"I don't know why I came back......" Li Fengqi shook his head, he didn't know about this in the first place, even if Pei Pu asked him, he couldn't answer.
"Maybe I was disgusted by the Heavenly Dao over there, or maybe the Heavenly Dao here missed me and asked me back...... Who knows! He chuckled, and could only give such an ambiguous statement.
