Chapter 8: The Crab Is Peeling My Shell
The setting sun is only close to dusk.
The twilight of L.A. fell, and the sky was dark.
Because of the incident that happened at noon, the Xiao Soul Inn was forced to close its doors, and even Xue Ling took a holiday.
She was peeling garlic in the courtyard, and the garlic skin of the white flowers was scattered on the ground like snowflakes, and when she raised her head, Fang Bei was walking out of He Ping's room.
"How's it going?" Xue Ling asked quietly.
"It's not convenient to talk here." Fang Bei said quietly.
Xue Ling picked up the basket, and there was still half of the unpeeled garlic in it: "Where is it convenient?" ”
The setting sun fell on Xue Ling, pulling out a long shadow for the girl.
"Hmm." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling: "I think it's better not to meddle in things." ”
Xue Ling bit her lip lightly: "I want to know." ”
"Okay." Fang Bei sighed and opened the kitchen door: "Then come in." ”
Enter the kitchen, open the partition in the cellar, and enter the small underground studio.
"What the hell is going on?" Xue Ling only asked at this time.
There is faint candlelight here.
"Sit down." Fang Bei pulled Xue Ling down, and at the same time put the garlic basket containing garlic between the two of them, and said while peeling the garlic himself: "What do you want to know?" ”
"Why did Shang Jiu Ge fight with Hei Wu?" Xue Ling asked, "Hei Wu has been living here for more than half a month, and he has been very quiet." ”
"First, because Kuranai's injury is almost healed." Don't peel the garlic, under the garlic coat are white and tender garlic cloves.
I'm going to eat garlic noodles tonight, so I need to peel the garlic to mash the juice.
"Second, because she is Shang Jiuge."
Xue Ling looked at Fang Bei: "Why should she be treated like this if she is Shang Jiuge?" ”
"If you are rigid, it is easy to break, and if you are good, you will hurt your body." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling and said quietly: "How is Shang Jiuge's swordsmanship?" ”
"Very high, incredibly high." Xue Ling nodded and said.
"But her martial arts are not so high that they are invincible." Fang Bei continued: "Hive's ranking of her in the hundredth place on the Jianghu list is actually a very fair ranking, but it is also a ranking that puts Shang Jiu Ge on the fire. ”
"Do you remember what I used to say to you?"
"Which words?" Xue Ling asked rhetorically.
Don't say a lot to him.
So I don't know which sentence it is.
"It's about the main character." Don't say quietly.
Xue Ling remembered, because it was not long ago that he didn't say it.
"In this world, everyone will think that they will be the only protagonist."
"The protagonist doesn't die."
"Those who die are all fake protagonists."
"But the rivers and lakes are so big, how many protagonists are there?"
Xue Ling nodded: "I remembered." ”
"It's good to think about it." Fang Bei smiled: "You see, what Shang Jiuge got is the protagonist template, but if she wants to go on, it is very difficult." ”
"Many people in this world will want her to die, because she is too young, too strong, and has a resolute personality."
"The famous families of the rivers and lakes are all the same, but there are not many people who are willing to watch Huashan rise to fame and grow rapidly because of Shang Jiuge, even if they don't say it on the surface, there will still be no fewer small actions behind the scenes."
"As for those demon sects, I hate people like Shang Jiuge even more, because Shang Jiuge can only use his sword to reason."
"If you're one of these charlatans." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling: "Do you want Shang Jiuge to grow up and become a truly invincible swordsman and sword immortal, or do you want to watch her die in this river and lake." ”
Xue Ling didn't speak, because the answer was obvious.
"The rivers and lakes are so big, some people think that the rivers and lakes are very big, but in fact the rivers and lakes are very small." Fang Bei said quietly: "Many people think that the rivers and lakes are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the masters are like clouds, but the real masters, except for the 100 on the top of the rivers and lakes, are really not many." ”
"Shang Jiuge stepped into the rivers and lakes and became one of the hundred, which is not a good thing for her."
"There will only be more people who want her dead."
"That's the difference between Jianghu and other places."
"There are only about fifty or sixty people in this Jianghu who can beat Shang Jiuge, and Hei Wu is exactly among these fifty or sixty."
"If there are fifty or sixty people in this world who can kill you, you can round up and think that you might die if you go out to buy a bottle of soy sauce."
When Xue Ling heard this, he finally couldn't help but complain: "This is to say that you're okay." ”
Yes, only Fang Bei is the kind of person who can kill him with only fifty or sixty people in the world, and it feels like the sky is about to fall.
"Pretty much." Fang Bei smiled: "In short, it is easy to die in the rivers and lakes, especially a sharp person like Shang Jiuge." ”
"Besides, it's harder for you to let Shang Jiuge hide her edge than for a crab to peel its shell."
"The crab peels its shell?" Fang Bei often said something that Xue Ling didn't understand, but Xue Ling felt that he understood this sentence, but he didn't feel it.
"The crab is peeling my shell, the notebook is writing about me, countless of me are falling on the snowflakes on the maple leaves, and you are thinking about me." Fang Bei said faintly like a poem.
Xue Ling fell silent.
"I don't understand."
"A crab can't peel my shell, a notebook can't write about me, and I can't fall on a snowflake on a maple leaf." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling and said, "So, you won't miss me either." ”
"Just like Shang Jiuge couldn't give up her character."
"We can make relief become the Dragon Boat Festival."
"But he can't make Shang Jiuge become someone else."
"She will either live and become the number one in the world, or she will die." Fang Bei said.
"Does Shang Jiuge know?" Xue Ling asked.
"She doesn't know." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling and said, "She's a fool, but she understands it, because she has a clear sword heart." ”
"Then why did she go down the mountain?" Xue Ling asked, "Why didn't she practice on the mountain until she was the first in the world before coming down?" ”
"Because she wants to go down." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling: "Being the first in the world is not a condition for going down the mountain. ”
"If you want to go down the mountain, you can go down the mountain."
"She lived in the mountains for seventeen years and never thought about going down, but suddenly one day, she wanted to go down, so she came down."
"Otherwise, she might have lived in the mountains for another ten or twenty years."
"But it only takes a split second to think about going down."
The garlic in Xue Ling's hand stopped.
"I remember another sentence, and you said it too." Xue Ling said quietly.
Fang Bei smiled: "Then I forgot what it was." ”
"Her sword is the straightest and fastest in the world, and the trouble she can't cut through is too little." Xue Ling looked at Fang Bei and said, "If she is really troubled one day, then there are too few people who can help her." ”
"And then, at that time, I asked you." Xue Ling's face was calm: "Then can you?" ”
"Your answer is yes."
"I don't know."
"But why should I help her?"
Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling and smiled: "Yes, why should I help her." ”
