Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 227: Painting Sand and Gathering Rice
Cheng You's heart was beating non-stop, and Shi Wuqi heard that they were very worried about telling this matter clearly, which was deafening.
"Original...... That's right. His voice trembled a little, "You're right, too. β
What is he saying...... Does he know what he's talking about?
What is Ruyue-kun talking about?
All this made Ah Luan feel inexplicable. It was difficult for her to decipher this kind of dialogue that spanned many things, even though she couldn't tell what they were, and she only found them absurd and morbid.
"That's a decent amount of respect." Ruyue-kun said, "Okay, I approve of you. β
"Thank you ......"
"Messing around." Yun Ge said disdainfully.
Ruyuejun looked at him and said, "You don't understand this. Muyi and killing intent do not conflict. When you have a considerable level of admiration for someone, it is indeed easier to develop murderous intentions in their place. β
"What a mess." Yun Ge's face was displeased, "It's nonsense." I've never felt so disrespectful to my deceased father. β
"Blood kinship should be a different matter. Admire the great men of different eras, and they will not have such a feeling. If you want to say it, there may be jealousy, but it's not all jealousy. The image you admire comes from someone, born of someone's possibility, and his ability becomes the standard of your passivity. When you're in the same place, you realize that it's possible for you to break it. β
"Is this the so-called deep hatred of love?" Shi Wuqi asked casually.
"It's complicated, and there are so many causes. Unable to pursue the goal of my hope no matter what, I began to hate the person who brought me such a goal, which is a kind of thing, but it is also the person I feel the most stupid. They seldom or do not reflect on themselves, only see the hardships they have experienced, put aside all the rhetoric of chance and talent, and only feel that hard work should be rewardedβnot to mention that some people do not put in the same amount of effort. However, Cheng Gongzi is naturally not among them. I saw this......"
Cheng You bowed cautiously, not knowing whether he should accept this specious appreciation.
"You should want to kill me."
"Yes."
"I want to replace it, and I think that I will be able to do it without leaks, and I can do it seamlessly, so that my name and legend can extend infinitely in this rivers and lakes, and more than that. Is that so? β
Cheng You stopped talking. He almost felt that Ruyue-kun knew himself better than he did. Those moods and words that she didn't even understand were made clear by her. I figured it out, broke it open, and placed it in broad daylight, which was clear.
"At that time, who is Cheng You?"
Cheng You shook his head, as if to deny the hidden meaning of Ruyuejun's words.
"Names are just names, names are just symbols."
"Isn't what you're pursuing just a symbol brought by the words 'Ruyuejun'?"
"The value is not the same."
"Value?" She frowned, as if displeased with the appearance of the word, "What a difference." Are the names of the six realms of impermanence superior to others? I don't think so. β
"No...... That was not what I meant. Cheng You's mouth couldn't be neat again, "You are unique." β
"yes. You know it β everyone is unique. Therefore, the conceit in your bones believes that you can already be compared to me, so you have this layer of killing intent. Except for a litter of chicks, no one would want to see themselves come out in the mirror, even if it's just a statement. Self-confidence is always a good thing, but ...... I don't think you have what it takes. β
"I know."
"That's why you didn't show your killing intent. But I forced that seed to germinate, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
They all saw that he wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to speak. Ruyuejun's words are beady, so that whatever Cheng You says at this time is like a quibble. So he gave up wisely, reorganized his emotions, and still greeted him with a smile.
"So, I'd like to ask you for advice."
"But I don't have anything to teach you." Ruyuejun glanced at Dai Luan, "Even my apprentices." I didn't teach them anything either. And teaching you anything, it doesn't do me any good. In other words......
She paused, moistening her throat. She had never said so much to someone she didn't know.
"Are you going to replace Ruyue-kun with what 'Ruyue-kun' taught you?"
This is a familiar sentence, and Mu Wan trembled. There is indeed an indescribable apt use here. It's just that people who understand listen to it, and they have a chilling sense of fear, and even they can't say what they are afraid of.
Cheng You's attitude is very firm.
"I'm open to any advice you have."
"Isn't Ruyue-kun just a name? It can be anyone. Ruyuejun said lightly, as if Cheng You didn't understand what she meant, or she wasn't prepared or expected him to understand, "What about my name?" I don't have a name and I don't remember my name. I am the Moon King. Who am I before Ruyue-kun, and who is Ruyue-kun after me? I don't care, the rivers and lakes don't care, and the adult doesn't care. β
"I care! I've made it this far for you! He suddenly got a little excited.
"You don't care. You only care about Ruyue-kun. Ruyue-kun responded.
"But I've spent so much time, money, and energy on it, and I'm not just going to see you and talk to you. I paid enough, but never got anything in return! β
Ruyue-kun turned away.
"Not for me. You owe it to yourself. If you're trying to get something in the first place, it's really purposeful. It's just that you're limiting your purpose to this level. Your ambitions have long since changed along the way, but it's so natural that you don't feel the slightest bit wrong and accept it. β
"At least ......" Cheng You stretched out his hand, "at least give me a chance to talk to you!" β
The person in front of him turned his head slightly, with a little hesitation.
ββ¦β¦ Compare notes? β
"Don't fall for him!" Dai Luan was anxious, "The devil knows what bad ideas he has!" β
Ruyue-kun didn't speak, just walked to the door and opened the door. They all thought she was leaving, and they all moved closer. But she didn't. There was still a man standing outside the door, and she let him in. Look at the posture of the man leaning against the wall, as if he had waited for a long time, and listened for a long time.
It's water without a king.
"I'm sorry, guys." Ruyuejun was apologetic, "I thought it would be soon, so I asked my colleagues to wait outside the door. It seems that it has been too long, so I should invite him to come in and sit down. β
Shui Wujun's slender figure had those heavy swords hanging from it, and he bumped slightly on the door frame when he came in. When he walked inside, the cramped shop seemed even more cramped. Compared to the last time we met him in Juanyun Mountain, he didn't have any changes, and he still had a straight face, as if someone owed him 1,800 silver ingots, or gold.
Ruyuejun continued: "I can also ask him to be a notarization." Shui Wujun also heard it......"
Then she turned around and said to Cheng You with some cheerfulness, "What do you want to compete with me?" β
"Painting, martial arts, poison." He spat out.
Shui Wujun opened his mouth for the first time when he met, and there was no emotion in his words.
"You're prepared."
"Perhaps."
"For a year, how?" Ruyue said.
"Absolutely." Things went so smoothly that Cheng You felt incredible, and he then asked, "Bet on what?" β
"Bet on what you want. Your name, and my name. β
The mountains and seas didn't understand what Ruyuejun meant.
Cheng Yu said: "No." Your name is much more valuable than mine......"
"It's just names. As I said, there is no such thing as high or low value. β
"Since you think it's appropriate."
"So let's start now."
"Now?"
Ruyuejun didn't reply anymore, she passed by Shui Wujun and disappeared into the empty streets. Shui Wujun didn't look back, not even when Cheng You rushed out the door. Dai Luan couldn't stand still, she also ran over, and Shui Wujun glanced at her. When she came to the door, Dai Luan chased out the door and looked, but she couldn't find the shadows of the two people anywhere, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
This scene reminded her of the "parting" with Ruyuejun in Jintong Township.
They may see each other again, but Dai Luan is unwilling. She walked back sullenly and couldn't help but complain:
"What the hell is this...... And bet on the name, what's there to bet on the name? If it's a youkai, it can still be accepted as a shikigami, but human names don't have a price...... It didn't work. The title of the Six Realms of Impermanence carries countless responsibilities, and he simply can't afford it! Will the Yama demons approve of him? Moreover, how could Ruyue-kun give it away? β
They also want to know these questions. Especially Mu Wan, she felt that she had watched a very bad play. The script is fine, but there is a play that is not. The reason may be that she has a limited affection for him.
"He still doesn't know what he wants." Mu Wan commented, "He just wants to prove himself. β
"He may have lived too long. Ordinary people will be consumed for a long time. β
For some reason, the two girls glanced at Shi Wuqi, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"Hey, don't compare me to that kind of person." He patted the ash left behind by leaning against the wall, "Alright, let's get down to business." Excuse me, Shui Wujun...... Why is it here? β
They didn't dare to speak. Yun Ge has been watching, and he is not blind. Shui Wujun also knew who he was. They were worried that if they talked about it, the scene would be even more chaotic. They had to reassure themselves that it was not a lie to remain silent, and that it was a good thing to shut up at the right time β at least not for now.
"I know Ruyue-kun is here, I'm looking for her. We're done, and she said, "Please." β
ββ¦β¦β
What kind of work did Ruyuejun take over for them without authorization?
"In exchange...... he continued, "I need to tell him something." β
Shui Wujun raised his hand and pointed at Yun Ge. The latter's expression was very calm, but Shanhai couldn't help but sweat.
At this time, the two apprentices suddenly returned. The two were discouraged, one carried a paper bag in one hand, and the other pinched a wine gourd in the other. They said:
"The wine was bought, but the chicken really didn't have it. They have two biscuits left, so you can eat them with the taste......"
Yun Ge waved his hand and asked them to put it wherever they wanted. The younger one saw the blood on his hands at a glance and immediately stepped forward.
"What are you doing here? Oops, the tables are all broken. Hey, brother, get some water, I'll go find gauze. How is this going on? Could it be that you ......"
"It's nothing to do with usβ" Mu Wan grimaced, "It's complicated. However, we also felt that it was most important to bandage him first. β
There was a commotion in the store, but Yun Ge didn't care. He didn't feel any pain at all, just stared at Shui Wujun's eyes and asked:
"What are you going to say? You speak first. β
"Reido ......"
"You killed you?"
There was an unexpectedly calm tone in his tone, but the hearts of the others were in their throats, and even the two apprentices were at a loss.
"Yes." Shui Wujun admitted.
Yun Ge got the answer, and he didn't know if it was in line with what he had envisioned. He couldn't see that he was impermanent, but he could guess. With the young man's support, he sat down on the nearest stool, his hands shaking a little, as if he finally felt pain. He took a few deep breaths and exhaled again.
"Don't be angry...... Dai Luan said carefully.
"It's fine." He shook his head, "I know, he's on business. I know...... Even though I should hate impermanence, I can't. Look at your outfit, it should be Fu Song's wind and water Wujun. You were the swordsmith my father admired the most during his lifetime, and you are also the one I admired the most. But my love may not be as deep as that of my father. And I only toss silver jewelry, and I don't inherit any other strengths. β
"That's not what I'm talking about." Shui Wujun's face did not change, "For you, it may be good news. β
"Really? What good news it can be. β
"Your father is not a wicked man."
