Woke up.

It was as if after a long deep sleep, then wrapped in the cold like a tide, and finally felt a little bit of warmth, and slowly opened my eyes in tiredness. The sky was black, everything around us was black, and there was not a single sight at the end of the night as far as the eye could see. But...... There was a fire beside him, and the crackling sound of dry wood in the fire kept burning, and Chen Hui knew at this time that the faint warmth came from this bonfire.

"Stinky boy, wake up as soon as you wake up, don't pretend to be asleep for me." There was also a man beside the fire, this man was very tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there was endless depth in his eyes, he was dressed in black, but his face looked a little pale in the thick night when the fire could not be torn apart.

It's just that when Chen Hui heard this voice, his heart jumped wildly inexplicably......

"Master...... Chen Hui looked at the tall man by the fire in disbelief.

At this moment, countless thoughts came to his mind, but the truth here made him a little stunned. He didn't know what the hell was going on. But that familiar smell made him feel sour quickly.

Counting the years, in fact, it has not been a few years, but I always feel as if after a long, long journey, I finally saw my master again...... Chensha.

Chensha nodded and said, "Why, it didn't take long, do you still need to be surprised and confirmed for this kind of thing?" Stinky boy, has it become stupid after a few years of grinding outside? ”

Tears fell instantly, and Chen Hui was excited and didn't know what to say, but suddenly, he remembered.

"So here...... Is it the world after death? Chen asked back.

The master has been dead, dead for many years, and if he can see the master, it should be that he is also dead. Yes, it's still dead after all. He didn't defeat that man, and it was clear that victory was in sight, but suddenly he was controlled by a mysterious force, and he felt a strong pain between his heart and lungs, as if he was pierced by a sharp blade.

Xiao Qianye is really powerful, this is the first time that Chen Hui has encountered a strong man who can completely defeat all his means since he walked the rivers and lakes. But when you think you're dead, that sense of victory or defeat becomes insignificant. Because no matter how hard you try, it seems to be ...... It doesn't make sense anymore. People always say how terrible the world after death is, Chen looked back at the boundless darkness around him, the bonfire in front of him and the person who was like a master and a father, but he suddenly felt in his heart that maybe dying like this is not really desperate and terrifying, but ......

Can't help those guys anymore. It's really unwilling. The face of the cook flashed in front of him, Zhong Yunxiu's face, Fengzhan's face, and the scholar's face, Gongyi's face, and ...... Chen Ling.

It turns out that I still feel sad when I die. His heart seemed to be bleeding from a knife, and Chen Hui covered his chest, and his tears fell more and more. I didn't have time to explain my mind to Ling and died like this, really...... It's a shame. Chen Hui thought so, wiped his tears, looked at the boundless darkness, and became in a trance.

Chen Sha looked at Chen Hui's expression and mocked: "This is not the world after death, this is the depths of your consciousness. If you come to this place one day, it means that you are really going to die, but you are not dead after all, but it looks like I am already dead. ”

Chen Hui was suddenly a little stunned, not understanding the meaning of these words.

But if you look closely, the master's appearance seems to be younger than he remembers, and this black-clothed outfit is not what the master looked like when he left with the first floor of the world and the sky strategy, but more like when he first taught himself swordsmanship many years ago.

"My ...... Deep in consciousness? Chen Hui repeated it a little confused.

"Then master, you ...... Is it fake? Chen Hui was suddenly a little afraid to ask this question, if it was fake, if it was just his own consciousness, did it mean that there was actually nothing in the world after death?

"Well, that's the question, huh...... Anyway, it's not fake, my reactions are all based on your perception of me, and now it seems that I am in your impression that I am a not too strict master. ”

"No, the master has always been very strict and rarely praises me." Chen Hui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to my standards, there are not many people and things worthy of my praise." Chensha was not polite at all.

"The master...... ...... the hell you" Chen Hui was a little unsure again.

He had heard Chen Ling say that in a state that was infinitely close to death, he would dive into the deepest part of his consciousness. At that time, Ling entered a memory, but she seemed to be different from Ling. It wasn't supposed to be a memory, he remembered everything that happened, he remembered that he was battered and dying.

"Am I real or not? What the hell am I? Are you too lonely to fantasize about existence? Chensha said with a smile on his face.

"Huh...... Although I don't think so, but you said so, master, so let's just ask me like this. Chen Hui said.

"Tsk, really, being a teacher is not a mediocre person you can see if you want to meet, when you see me, it means that I know it intentionally. I said, this is the depths of your consciousness. I'm not really me, of course, but I'm not fake either, although you may not understand a little bit about that, but this is a conversation that spans time, stupid apprentice. Chensha said with a smile.

Chen Hui was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "This scene seems to have been ...... ...... happened"

Chen Hui's brain was a little confused, vaguely as if he had experienced Fang Cai's conversation, but he couldn't remember when he had experienced it. The familiar feeling suddenly became unfamiliar when he tried to grasp it.

"That's right, this happened." Chensha's expression gradually became serious.

"I expected that I was already dead, and if I let my apprentice go through this state and come to the deepest part of my consciousness, it means that I have not been able to protect you. But you are not dead, and what I say to you now is what I said to you years ago when you fell into your slumber. Of course, the use of a little sound transmission into a dream is placed in the deepest part of your consciousness. Chensha said.

"So, master, did you say a bunch of strange things to me while I was asleep? How do I feel...... What a perverted look. Chen Hui couldn't help but cry and laugh.

"Idiot." Chensha suddenly laughed again.

"I probably remember, master, you are dressed like this." This feeling is very strange, although what the master is saying now should have been said many years ago, but it is only at this time when he is closest to death that he is discovered in the deepest part of his consciousness, as if his current self is talking to the master of the past.

The master is really an elusive person.

"Although I don't know why you came here, although I don't know what your current martial arts are, although I don't know if you have comprehended a better sword intent, but stupid apprentice, although I don't want to praise you, but you ...... Maybe it can change the world. Chensha said.

"But master, I've ...... Defeated. Chen Hui originally had a lot to say to Chen Sha, but in the end, the master in front of him was not a real master after all.

"Stupid apprentice, as you said, life is to live hard, waiting for those beautiful things in life." The bonfire suddenly became a little dim, and Chensha's figure became blurred, but soon it became clear again.

"Well, I still remember that you don't agree with this sentence, master, you are always pessimistic." Chen Hui said.

"Ha, although you experienced tragedy when you were young, you finally met such a powerful character as me because of a blessing in disguise, and your career in the rivers and lakes, no one can hinder you except those at the top, you can say very optimistic things, it's not unusual." Chensha said.

Chen Hui suddenly thought of Li Nianyun and said, "Master, why didn't I find out that your old man was so narcissistic before, like a friend of mine." ”

Chensha just said suddenly: "Silly apprentice, the rivers and lakes are very cruel. ”

Chen Hui was stunned, and finally nodded and said, "Yes." It's brutal. ”

There are people who poison the Nanban for their own desires in this world, there are also people who do not hesitate to kill thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people for the sake of war achievements, there are people who plunge the city into fear of misery in order to rule a city, and there are also people who wage war for greater greed and cause tens of thousands of deaths.

There is a lot of cruelty in this world, and the most terrible thing is that it seems to be a norm.

Chen thought back to Xiao Qianye, the man who chased chaos and tried to expose this world to such cruelty. The unwilling look reappeared.

"So now? Still think so? Chensha suddenly asked.

Chen Hui hesitated for a moment, looking confused.

Chen Sha looked at Chen Hui's appearance and sighed: "In this world, there are also evil beings that I can't defeat, not only martial arts, but also the despair he can bring, in addition to destroying hope, it can also destroy faith." ”

"Death is not terrible, but when one day you give up the struggle, accept the process of your own death...... It's the most terrible, idiot apprentice. ”

The process of accepting one's own death is the most terrifying. When he heard this, Chen Hui's whole body trembled.

"Everyone has their own fate, and there is a reason to live, no matter what kind of reason that reason is ravaged, we must firmly believe in it, thousands of roads determine thousands of fate, and the end of these thousands of roads, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or cruel, silly apprentice, it's possible to wait for good things to come, but most of the time you will experience a state where life is worse than death, confusion or despair, if

Choosing to stop on the road is when death really comes. ”

Chen Sha said as casually as possible, but Chen Hui's face was full of confusion.

He never doubted his own philosophy, he firmly believed that if he lived, he would wait for happiness, but there are indeed people in this world who do not live for the so-called good. There are many people in this world who live with the consciousness that they will not hesitate to endure the suffering of hell. Even if there is endless suffering waiting for them, they will do their best to avoid death. There is something more important in their lives than the good things that come their way......

Chen Hui suddenly felt a little tired.

Chensha said: "When you can accept your death, it means that you have not waited for the good things in your life, and you have also chosen to give up your own way at that moment. ”

"But the master...... I...... It's already ......" Some kind of huge panic instantly rose, leaving Chen Hui speechless.

"Silly, huh? However, being a teacher does not mean denying your way, there is only an unfinished path in this world, but there is absolutely no wrong way. Maybe through your opponents, you'll understand this. Chensha said.

"Master's words are probably as obscure as master's swordsmanship, but...... I seem to understand something. Chen Hui said.

The campfire dimmed a little again.

Chensha suddenly stood up, raised his head and said, "If you stay in such a place for too long, even a sober person will become lost. ”

Chen Hui said: "But master, I still don't understand. ”

The darkness seemed to be thicker, Chen Sha looked at Chen Hui and said with a smile: "You are not dead yet, but you plan to use this place as a netherworld?" ”

Then Chensha said: "You only need to understand one thing, if you firmly believe that your path is right, then you must have the determination to climb this path even if you are still breathing, even if your legs are broken. ”

"Of course, there are not so many beautiful things in life, but if you look for them wholeheartedly, you can encounter them, although you Master and I still think that to live, it is good to live, and to live and fight with ridiculous dignity before life is worse than death, even if there is no opponent in this world, there is no honor, this is my way. What about yours? ”

The cold invaded Chenhui's body again.

After a long time. Chen Hui looked at the firelight that was gradually disappearing in the cold, and looked at the increasingly faint figure of the master, he raised his head and said:

"Master, I'm still ...... Believe it! Even if those good things don't come! But that's my path! ”

Chensha looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha, it's really a stubborn stupid apprentice, I can't see you see the way you see, it's really a pity for the teacher, I'm not a good husband, nor a father, let you come to such a place, even a good master can't be counted." ”

It's obviously laughing, but it's a little sad.

Chen Hui shook his head and said, "The master is always the best master." ”

Chensha said: "Silly apprentice, since your path is to work hard to live and wait for the good things in life, then you should know that the greatest meaning is not to wait for good things. It's ......"

Chen Hui took a deep breath, nodded, and said firmly word by word:

"Absolutely! Right! No! Yes! Die! ”

(The title of this chapter should have been in the end of the building, but I didn't expect the dialogue between the master and apprentice to be written to the length of a chapter, so change the title, and the plot of escaping from the Moon River Tower will be tomorrow, of course, it's not that the protagonist will become stronger after saying it, and Chenhui's failure is at least doomed here, but I can't bear to let such a character lose so hastily, and there is still one shot left, and I will write it tomorrow.) As for the rise of the shopkeeper, that's another factor, emmm, anyway, it won't be broken tomorrow, so I won't spoil it. ）
