Chapter 3 4
April 19 was cloudy
The day when I couldn't see the sun, my mood was also much lower, because today, the first life counted from the memory, was also her death day. But when I think back to the day I met Yaoguang on April 19, I can't help but feel ridiculous about this kind of four coincidences that span two lives and two lifetimes. Maybe because of her arrival, it made my heart feel a little more relaxed, but it didn't completely rejuvenate my numb heart again.
How good it would be if you forgot your past life, so that you wouldn't have complicated feelings and a trace of sadness when you met her. You will not suffer the painful consequences of your chosen path.
Thinking that his once weak self would be worthy of love, he felt a little warmth in his heart.
Everyone likes to follow the strong, and the stars love them like the moon, but what I don't like the most is the feeling that the weak like the strong, which makes me disgusted and disgusted.
Because in my opinion, that kind of distorted following and affection from the heart can only reduce one's dignity and reason as a human being, making others feel that the other party is strong, so it is natural that they should obey and lower themselves, and this kind of natural acceptance by the world cannot bring them success in the real sense, and at the same time will promote the arrogance and arrogance of the so-called strong, in the final analysis, it is caused by a certain deep-rooted class concept and the idea of being enslaved, which makes me so sick that I want to vomit.
After all, when everyone is touting a very powerful character, if you don't go along with it, you will be problematic, sick, and you will be abandoned and despised.
There are also people who use their names to cover up the shortcomings of the so-called strong themselves, and ridicule and try to teach and influence the so-called weak people who are unable to change the status quo despite their best efforts.
The so-called circle formed by this kind of thought makes me want to laugh at it again, and it makes me sick again. If you can't protect them, why be a bastard who bullies them.
The law of the jungle should not be used on people who have true wisdom and understanding and good intentions.
But I like that no matter how strong or weak, everyone can be equal in thought, and even if they like it, they can be equal out of friends or respect, and I am afraid that this kind of thinking will only be laughed at as childish and alienated and abused by the so-called circle people.
But it is this kind of thinking that has also influenced my life in terms of how I behave in the world and how I have a wide range of interpersonal relationships. I longed to be equal to others, but the other party always wanted to take me for granted, as if the whole world should submit to him, which made me want to spit on this distorted idea of inequality.
That is, because I have always had this kind of thought, and at the same time I was at a low point in my life and felt full of despair, but I met the person who taught me how to love and asked me to love for the rest of my life, Yaoguang.
The love of a lifetime, the companion of a lifetime seems to me to be a lie of scum, because the unrealistic words of loving only one person from birth to death are too irresponsible, but will be a little frivolous, and the love that is willing to spend the rest of your life to accompany you through the wind and rain and never abandon is the real love.
It is because of these seemingly childish thoughts that I always seem out of place when I talk to others, and I am used to being alienated and despised by others, so I don't bother to argue like a madman.
Because for the rest of my life, with her companionship and understanding, I will be better than the whole world, and I will have the strength to resist the harm that this world has brought me.
The darkness of the night shrouded the eerie forest, and the places that the light of the stars and moon could not reach were particularly terrifying. I ran desperately on the forest path with Yaoguang on my back, we looked anxious and scared, we all wanted to shake off the terrible trackers behind us, but the sound of the rushing rustle still challenged our hearts at all times.
"Night One! Leave me alone! You go first!! ”
"No! How can I abandon you! Then I'm really not human! "I could feel Yaoguang's heartbeat behind me. Although she said this, she hugged my back tightly and clung to me desperately, which still made me understand that she didn't want to die just like me.
Suddenly, a dark shadow larger than us burst out from the darkness of the forest in front of us.
"Watch ahead!"
I immediately stopped, and although my breath was short, and my forehead was sweating, it was nowhere near the oppression and fear that the huge black shadow and blood-red eyes brought about me.
It all started when we left town.
"Although you have lost your parents, it is not good for you to keep a calm face, you look old-fashioned, but you will not attract girls to like it" Yaoguang shook in front of me and posed as an adult.
"With you in charge, I don't expect anyone to take a fancy to me" I fought back truthfully.
"You really don't have a girl like this," she shook her head with a look of helplessness, and stabbed me in the heart.
"Don't worry about it" I glanced at her, subconsciously lifted the sword at my waist, and continued to follow behind the teacher, the path in this forest is long enough, I stopped halfway to rest once, and I haven't walked out yet, it is close to evening at this time, which also shows that this forest is very large. This also gives me time to think of the rare coincidence that I met Yaoguang in my previous life because of her words, otherwise it would be like what Yaoguang said in this life, no girl would like a boy like me who is homeless and has an average family background.
On the way and during the break, I gave a brief introduction to the teacher and the purpose of our trip. The same goes for what happened to us before.
I could see the shock on her face and the concern in her eyes, and she comforted me a few words, and I only nodded in response.
It's not that I hate it, it's just that there's really nothing worth talking about.
But to my surprise, after I got my teacher's consent to tell her the purpose of the trip, she was not scared away, but was very excited to join us.
This makes me want to laugh a little, after all, compared with the gentle and mature Yaoguang in the previous life, the Yaoguang in this life is more eccentric and child-like.
"As long as you pass through this forest, you will reach the next town" The teacher took the map and scanned the surroundings sharply, and then suddenly looked at me meaningfully, and asked a question that I didn't understand: "Yaichi, now that you have stepped into the path of becoming a Qi Master, do you remember the methods and physical techniques I taught you?"
"Well, remember"
"Do you remember how many types there are?"
"Well, it is divided into three categories: imperial things, imperial qi, and imperial souls, although the first two categories are different, but there is an intersection, I can congenitally major in imperial qi, and qi is also divided into spiritual energy in the body and the qi of heaven and earth, two kinds"
"Very good, then tell me too, what realms are the imperial qi you have learned?"
"First divided into the body of the aura of the main Qi of the body, and the Qi of heaven and earth based on the gas of the two major stages, of which the Qi of the body and need to inject the air of the object and the real air of the object, with the form of gas and divided into the general matter, the essence of the essence, the spirit of the object. However, the realm of transforming gods and all things in heaven and earth requires the aura of the body and the qi of heaven and earth."
"Do you remember how to cultivate?"
"Remember, you need to meditate by feeling the aura of heaven and earth, and you need to better play the role of qi by refining your body, but you also said that this is just the dead knowledge in the cultivation book, and what really matters is here" I pointed to my left heart.
"Hmm" The teacher nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "Then do you remember the mantra I taught you after arriving in Kunlun?" ”
"Remember, in order to seek that the outside of the sky is the pole of the Dao, hundreds of millions of immortals will be transformed into Yao Chi, if mortals break through the immortal mountain gate, they will become the food in the belly of the gods."
"It's a mantra, but it's just a limerick," the teacher complained casually, but nodded with satisfaction, then threw me a map and his backpack and gave me a thumbs up: "The rest is up to you."
"Huh? What are you talking about? "I didn't understand the teacher's intentions when I took it.
"Along the way, I'll trouble you~" The teacher suddenly jumped onto the tree after throwing down a sentence for some reason.
"Teacher, what are you doing?!" I was completely blindsided, and I didn't understand the teacher's unusual behavior at all.
"The next road needs to be walked by yourself, oh yes, I forgot to tell you, this place is called the Wolf Forest, it is a territory ruled by the wolf king, and now it's almost night, I think they are coming out soon, there are emergency oil lamps in the backpack, good luck to you"
"Huh?" I had a black question mark on my face: "Teacher, what are you kidding all of a sudden?!" ”。
"My good apprentice, the rest of the way is up to you! Be sure to go to Kunlun! In this way, you can avenge your parents," the teacher's last deliberately soft words came to my ears.
"Wait! What do you say?! Before I could finish speaking, the teacher jumped into the forest, leaving me and Yaoguang behind.
"What's the situation? No pit apprentices! "I was completely shocked by the sudden and unbelievable scene, and complained in the direction of the teacher in the distance.
And at this moment, Yaoguang's trembling fingers tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Yeyi, look around"
"Huh?" I looked down and immediately saw a pair of terrifying green eyes hidden in the darkness of the forest. They are the most ferocious wolves in this forest, they don't rush out at this time, they are looking for our weak spots, waiting for an opportunity to bite our veins.
"One or two I can handle, but so many, what to do?" She pulled out the dagger she had with her, scared and wary of her surroundings.
I lit the lamp and shook it around, trying to force the wolves back, but it was obviously of little effect, so I tightened the strap of my backpack, drew my sword, and breathed in to deal with the accident: "Kill, run along this road, run out of this forest" Now we are the prey of the wolves, and wherever they hide, they will catch up with us and find us, tear us to pieces to fill their stomachs.
But I can't let that happen, and I can't be food for them! Because I'm going to live! I'm going to Kunlun! I still have my parents' revenge!
Because of the teacher's words, I have already associated the figure of that person with it, and it makes it impossible for me to die in such a place!
The wolves would not understand this, and two of them rushed at us in a frenzy, their hideous faces and sharp fangs illuminated by oil lamps. Other wolves may be watching for our weaknesses and trying to weaken us while still swarming at the right time, and they're smart.
The sharp claws reflected a metallic but faint sheen under the oil lamp, and sparked with my sword.
"Yaoguang!" With a flick of the sword, he slashed open the belly of a ghostly wolf, and some of the blood that spurted out suddenly poured onto my face, but I didn't care, and turned around and stabbed another sword at the ghost wolf who was in a stalemate with Yaoguang and could stab Yaoguang with that fangs at any time.
"Thanks," Yaoguang gasped as he clenched his dagger and continued to be vigilant against the wolves around him who were watching and would pounce at any moment.
At this time, we are back to back, and only then will we have a little sense of security.
"This is not the way to go, you follow me, I will open the way, if necessary, I will blow up the oil lamp as a last resort" as a last resort, as I said, the oil lamp in my hand injected the aura into my body to make it under my control, and then the kerosene lamp hung beside me.
"What are you going to do?" I could hear the amazement in her words.
"Follow me!" I suddenly shouted, and with a wave of my finger, the kerosene lamp flew forward, and I followed closely behind, using my sword to clear the way.
"Hey!" Although Yaoguang's surprise came from behind me, I was sure that she was indeed right behind me.
Due to the momentum of our sudden outburst, the wolves were forced to instinctively dodge, just to make way for them.
We ran forward with the kerosene lamps, but the wolves didn't give up, they chased after them, and the branches and leaves they touched made strange grinding sounds.
I turned my head to check on Yaoguang's situation, and not only did I see her look as scared as I did, but I also saw the pair of dark green and terrifying eyes that followed not far behind her.
Truth be told, the two of us are just ordinary thieves and a Qi Collector who can't do anything. It's no problem to fight one or two in combat, but a group will seem inadequate.
If you use the game as a metaphor,Then we are rookies who have just entered the novice village to brush a copy that exceeds our level and can withstand the number of monsters.,If you fight hard,The probability of death,Can be imagined.。
But this is not a game, there are no plug-ins, there is no cheat.
"Quick! You come forward, my highness! "I slowed down my pace to prevent the wolves from coming up behind me from dragging Yaoguang into the dark forest and turning it into food.
"Leave me alone, get out of the way!" And she was clearly unwilling to let me take the risk.
And just like that, he only heard Yaoguang's sound and fell to the ground.
I immediately stopped and ran back to her, crouched down and picked her up, "It's okay!" ”
"It's just a trip from a branch, run!" She screamed, but one or two of the wolves that followed her rushed towards us.
I swung my sword, and they instinctively dodged, and I took Yaoguang's hand and ran.
But apparently it was this unexpected time difference that caused the wolves to surround us again.
"Be careful, it's coming!" With that, I threw the kerosene lamp with gas, and then my palm clenched, and the kerosene lamp exploded in the air.
The subtle flames briefly forced back several wolves in front of them, "Ahh I roared, brandished my sword frantically, took Yaoguang's hand and ran.
At this time, in addition to fear, there is also anger in my heart.
But the wolves obviously wouldn't let us go a second time, and a quick wolf took advantage of the situation to pounce on Yaoguang and scratch her ankle.
In Yaoguang's screams of pain, I yelled at the wolf: "Get out! Eventually, I slashed across the wolf's neck, "Go!" "I picked up the wounded Yaoguang on my back, picked up the sword stuck in the ground, and ran with all my strength in the cautious and instinctive observation of the wolves.
Since I didn't practice enough, I could only use this qi once, and I used it to kill the wolf, and now I'm running and injecting new qi into it.
It makes me tired, but I'd rather be tired than die.
And the next scene, we tried our best to escape, and finally ran into the huge black shadow.
Yes, we met what the teacher said, the ruler of this forest, the leader of the wolf clan in this forest, the wolf king.
"Whew!!!" The wolf king's howl drew the howl of the whole pack from the wolves, and my howl caused me to break out in a cold sweat and stirred the whole gloomy forest. It's like a trumpet before battle, like the coercion of the prey and the shout of victory at hand.
The wolf king's body was several times larger than the other wolves, and he was as tall as us, blocking our way, and the other wolves catching up surrounded us, which was obviously an extremely dangerous situation.
"What should I do?" Yaoguang asked me nervously, my palms were already soaked with sweat. I also panicked in my heart, if it was one-on-one, there might still be some hope, but if other wolves swarmed during the period, then we would definitely die.
I clenched my sword and looked around, but found that the other wolves had no desire to rush up, but their green eyes were still watching and watching. On the contrary, the blood-red eyes of the wolf king, who looked at each other at the end, were full of war.
I guess I can get it.
"I'll let you go first," I whispered to Yaoguang.
"What? You are crazy?! She was so clever that she apparently noticed this: "Then you will die!" No, we're all going to die! ”
"It's okay, trust me, you have your own way" In fact, there is no way, this is just an excuse I use to comfort her.
I settled it under the roots of a tree that was far away from the other wolves, but closer to me, and she grabbed her dagger and scanned the surroundings and said to me, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine," I clenched my sword grip and turned to face the Wolf King.
There was a sense of murder and fear in the air, and I could hear my heart pounding, but I was also trying to restrain myself to calm down.
On the other hand, the wolf king still has the eyes that are looking forward to enjoying the flesh and blood of his prey.
"Ahh Eventually, I rushed forward with my sword in hand, and the wolf king lunged at me without hesitation, his claws threatening to tear my flesh apart.
But I blocked the blade of the sword, trying to block its claws, but apparently its movements were much faster than mine, and with the strength of its larger body, my sword flew out in an instant, and at the same time, a sharp claw tore out of my chest with blood. I was knocked down and pressed to the ground, and my head was bled by the stone behind my head because of the violent fall to the ground.
The scorching pain had numbed my whole body.
The wolf king led the wolves to howl again after pounced on me, this time to help him with his feast.
"Night One!" Yaoguang cried and shouted, and several wolves in the pack gradually leaned towards her in my blurred vision. And she seemed to have given up her last resistance, just crying my name.
From the beginning, it was a battle of disparity.
I should have understood, but why, I still risked my life to rush forward.
I smiled wryly and mocked myself as I was dying.
yes, why, rush forward.
Because.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die!!!
"Ah!!h I exerted all my strength, summoned all my qi, and pulled the flying sword body to my side, and the wolf king seemed to be unimpressed, reveling in victory, just as he bowed his head and was about to completely tear my chest open with his fangs to enjoy the food, a straight silver light pierced the wolf king's neck in front of my eyes, without a trace of blood, and when its red, slightly hot blood dripped down my face, the wolf king only let out a slight whimper.
"Ah!!h And I have been completely occupied by fear, lost my mind, and frantically mobilized my qi to control the sword to constantly penetrate the body of the wolf king.
Even though the larger body was already crushing against me.
"Night One! That's enough!! Suddenly, I heard Yaoguang's hoarse cry, and only then did I stop my frantic counterattack and revenge, and then I realized that the wolf king had become a corpse.
"That's enough, Yaichi, it's enough" She pulled me out with all her strength, and I came back to my senses to find the wolves around me who were afraid to retreat because of the fallen wolf king.
I picked up my sword and swung it around again, roaring at them, this time fleeing out of fear back into the gloomy forest.
I threw down my sword, and I had no strength left, and only Yaoguang was still staggering around me, preventing me from falling to the ground.
At such a close distance, I could read so much emotion in her eyes, panic, fear and rejoicing.
I smiled at her, she smiled at me and shed tears, I didn't have the strength to say anything more, I just felt that I was very tired, my body was very heavy, my eyes were dark, I only knew that I had fallen to the ground, and what happened after that, I didn't know.
But at least for sure, we, are alive.
