The city chosen by Xu Changqing at random is located at the 30th parallel, and its specific regional location is similar to Hangzhou.

It was a cold winter day, and it was raining drippingly.

For people like Xu Changqing, there is nothing wrong with this.

There is a contrast to feel the difference better.

The rain and the canopy food stalls are like two worlds, the steaming heat is reminiscent of warmth, the aroma of food is seductive, and the cold of the cold rain sets off a simple happiness.

As long as you hide under the canopy and eat something, you will have a sense of happiness compared to those passers-by who walk through the rain with their necks bent.

Xu Changqing didn't know if others would occasionally be like him, anyway, he felt that people were insatiable creatures, even if they were the king of the world, they still didn't mind enjoying the happiness of the small people in the market. Just like he is now.

He had fantasized that he was a little **, the kind that lacked strength even more than when he was practicing in the market.

Busy all day only for three meals to make a living, eat all over the food stalls to find their own taste, after a day of fatigue in the food and drink in it, and then roll back to the kennel-like room to rest, no one to pay attention to, do not have to think too much, save a small belongings, to a girl who is still a little bit of grace as the N spare tire, and finally because of honesty, by the girl who has played enough, but also tired of the girl, came together, formed a family......

Simple happiness, just look at the present, look forward to the future, and leave the past to think about when you are old.

This also seems to be good.

But if you really want to do this, are you willing to accept it? Can it afford it?

It seems that it will work for a short time, and after a long time, it will probably be like the beauty of fantasy of simple happiness now, outlining the magnificence of the wind and clouds in the heart.

This is human beings, noble and despicable, great and small, good and evil, cold and passionate, happy and painful, wanting to be extinct and unique.

"Boss, it's time to eat!"

Xu Changqing smiled, the greeting of the food stall operator with local characteristics reminded him of his hometown, not only Guangnan, not only Fujian, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, but all the regions he knew.

Vermicelli shrimp balls, some white and green green onions and sesame oil flowers float in the light white broth, the fragrance is fragrant and does not make people feel greasy, and the index finger moves when you look at it.

The taste is not bad, the soup is fresh, the vermicelli is strong, and the shrimp balls are also authentic.

Of course, these are not really nothing, and the feeling of relaxation when you concentrate on eating such a meal is the value.

"Help! Help me! It was a young woman who ran for help, her messy and thin clothes and rain set off her good figure, and she wanted to cover it just right.

Behind the chase is a big man who runs two meters in height, also dressed thinly, with a tendon and meat, a hideous face, scolding and chasing.

The young woman panicked, and tripped over the rain leak manhole cover on the side of the road not far from Xu Changqing, and fell very badly, and then the big man chased after her, grabbed the woman and hit her, punching the flesh.

Xu Changqing sighed lightly, put down the spoon, confirmed the left and right, turned to the two people in the rain and said, "Okay, you are acting very hard, come here, I will invite you to eat." ”

The big man raised his big fist and wanted to fight, but the woman who had no resistance before suddenly shot like lightning and slapped him twice on the face. The big man stopped fighting, got up on his own, and pulled the woman up again.

Xu Changqing raised his hand and pointed at it, an invisible hot wind swept away, and the two of them were wet, their clothes and hair dried instantly, and the rain could not fall on them.

The big man's expression was a little silly, and the woman looked dumbfounded, and while sorting out her clothes, she said to Xu Changqing: "I'm sorry." ”

"Call the other one too, it's good for something hot in this weather."

The woman whistled, and a moment later, another girl, sixteen or seventeen, with two old coats in her hands, handed them to the two, and the woman used body language to make them sit down.

The girl immediately laughed, her big eyes and smile bent into a beautiful crescent, sat down happily, and began to order.

Xu Changqing asked the woman: "Can diamonds still be sold for money?" ”

The woman was a little confused, but still replied, "If the condition is good, it should be good." ”

Xu Changqing nodded, reached out and took a few pairs of chopsticks from the chopsticks, click! Click! Carbon element high temperature and high pressure, diamonds!

When! The hedge in the hand of the food stall master fell to the ground.

Xu Changqing smiled at him: "It's good to be magical." ”

The master nodded stupidly.

"Won't paying for a meal with this kind of thing attract covetousness and harm you?"

The master looked around and shook his head.

Xu Changqing put the seven diamonds the size of half a little thumb on the table. "Okay, these are yours, meet their dietary needs."

The master laughed, and so did the big man, because the woman told him, "You can let go of eating and drinking!" ”

Xu Changqing asked the master to add half a spoonful of soup, and slowly finished eating a bowl of vermicelli shrimp balls.

The woman also behaved very sensibly and didn't bother him anymore, and Dahan and another girl had hot food stall food, so they were very satisfied, and they were happy to eat and didn't care about anything else.

Twisting his body and facing outward, Xu Changqing crossed his legs, looked at the rain scene outside, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Why is it so miserable?" You are all capable. ”

The woman's mood was a little low, and she said, "Maybe that's the problem." ”

Xu Changqing thought for a while and nodded: "There is some truth." ”

He has watched the XMAN series and the American drama [Hero] series, and can understand the difficulties faced by extraordinary people with some abilities but not strong in life.

Moreover, technological progress sometimes does not mean that ordinary people have become happier. It also includes the increasingly desperate Iron Curtain rule, polarization, class entrenchment, and the loss of jobs.

In ancient times, even if a knight spent a lot of money to keep himself armoured, he could be killed by a cheap crossbow. In modern times, even if you want to kill a black-hearted businessman who is unkind, you can't get past the protection of surveillance and mechanical guards. As for the officials, I'm sorry, life has no intersection at all, and the high degree of control of the real people also makes any abnormal behavior an incentive to be noticed, and when you are still collecting intelligence, you are already being targeted.

The whole society seems to be stable and stable, and even the slightest sign of stagnant water is not serious. This is the sensory impression of most people, but you can't cross the line, even just a little, such as as as in movies and television, suddenly being implicated in an event, you will find that this society is actually a cage.

The reason why I usually don't feel it deeply is because there is a hidden constraint called etiquette and law that regulates life, every detail and bit. When you break through these, even if you are passive, then you will immediately see the cage, as well as the torture tools and malice that you can think of or can't think of.

The low-level transcendents are a group of people who are instinctively rejected by the ordinary human group and inevitably feel the cage of society.

Ordinary people can't accept this special ability that stems from ontological differences, fear, and feel unfair, innate, unfair at the root of life. This unfair rejection is much greater than the rejection of being born with a golden spoon in your mouth.

Not accepted, not trusted, no reputation file, subject to the 'preferential treatment' of the highly ordered social management system, if I have a little bit of self-esteem and self-love that I can still have, then well, the dark side of society teaches you to be a man, and the other side is rarely open to it, and a moment of charity and cheap sympathy will not solve the problem, and will even be counterproductive, a kind of illusion that seems to have hope, or rather, to give hope, and then destroy hope, is a kind of cruel punishment.

There is a saying in the Celestial Empire that it is good to be rich and good to be a man.

It's not that you don't know how to be polite, you don't understand the world, but you can't afford to be polite.

This principle can also be applied to the current Eastern sect.

There are not enough resources, and at the same time, there is no way to open the door to convenience.

Therefore, transcendents like the Shi family sisters and brothers, who are actually very good, can only stumble in the years, rise and fall in the mire, and disappear in the grinding plate of the world.

"It's a heavy topic." Xu Changqing muttered to himself.

He found that he was not suitable for touching specific people or things in the earthly world, and it was easy for him to become a tease.

He had ordered the killing of more than 20,000 people, including women, children, the elderly and the infirm, only a few hours earlier. Now I feel nostalgic for this kind of social problem, and sigh for a few little people who are struggling at the bottom of society, isn't this funny? Maybe a psychopath?

If you don't touch, it's a cold number; Contact is a living life. The senses vary widely.

"Vanessa, do a comprehensive data survey report, I want to know the economic structure of the world, industrial activities, employment situation, etc., the data should be detailed, and send it to me directly when it is done."

"Yes, sir!"

With the help of the shipborne AI Vali, it is not too difficult for Vanessa to make such a report.

Ending the ultra-remote contact, Xu Changqing took a wrist and had a peculiar business card in his hand, which could not be seen to be made of any material, but in fact it was a condensed state of the force of nature.

Its surface has a natural texture like a tree, and there is a hollowed-out 'Anka' logo in the center, which is the top of the letter 'T' and a drop-shaped ring with a pointed end downward.

Ankh represents life in ancient Egypt, and it is also a fusion of symbols representing men, women, and the sun, which means creation and reproduction. It also represents the inner strength of life and is also a symbol of authority, as the gods are said to hold such symbols to show their power.

Some have a better affinity with the law system, and are more suitable for carrying information and power, Xu Changqing doesn't mind using it, for him in modern times, the difference between the doors is no longer very important, and the cross-system knowledge is accessed, and there is one. Of course, this will involve transformation, and if you copy it completely, you will have to bear the consequences, so you need to think about it.

"Many times, looking at the beauty of flowers is just another thorn pit in life. It is difficult to say which is better than all these familiar farewells, freedom, simplicity, and even conscience, in exchange for the power, awe, and material abundance that you desire. ”

Xu Changqing said and put the card on the table and pushed it in front of the woman. "The choice of fate, enough determination to tear it apart."

"Thank you."

Xu Changqing smiled, didn't speak, and walked slowly into the rain.

He knew that as a practitioner, the complicated earthly world is a myriad of possibilities and choices, and the experience of entering into it is a process of questioning, solving, and affirming oneself. Most of the doubts are solved, and the nature is revealed. As for whether the person is skilled and harmonious, it is not so important.

He lacked this lesson, and his worldly experience was not enough.

And without this moment, not to mention the first level of Yuanying, even the first level of Jindan cannot be said to be complete.

It's just that he hasn't found a good entry point all along, and in the demon land of the demon world, he encountered the special Dao Soul Prison of the monster, which was originally a good opportunity, but he jumped to the extreme realm soon after the beginning.

The flow of time has led to the distraction of the soul of the extreme world becoming an inevitable choice. After all, two years here are only a few minutes in the Origin World.

Then he fell into a series of events in time and space, he grew up, but he also made a lot of hidden dangers.

The high is too high, and the low is very low. On the one hand, he is almost like a god, constantly touching and analyzing the essence of the law of all things, on the other hand, the stage of Jin Dan and Yuan Ying has not officially passed.

Although he is no longer a person in the Immortal Dao, those passes that are closely related to the soul can still be used as a reference for judging the level.

He needs a formal promotion, provided he does have all the making.

In other words, it is urgent to plug the shortest plank of the bucket, otherwise even if it is not discovered and used by the enemy, he himself will be troubled by this problem and even collapsed.

"It's really not the right time, it's crazy to go through this kind of test with a consciousness body......"

He had realized that his recent sentimentality, exhaustion and burnout, was most likely related to the soul structure of the conscious body. The information points related to the will are too weak.

To put it simply, the Dao heart is not strong, it is easy to be touched, and it is easy to be invaded by the demons in the heart.

From another point of view, the crockpot does not leave the edge of the well, and the lack of red dust experience is his shortcoming, so the problem often starts from this.

And there is no escape, the more you flee, the faster it deteriorates, and the more faint the hope of victory. In the end, it's useless to lock yourself in a high-confined space, because something is wrong with your heart.

Inner demons can only be cut in the mind, and foreign objects only play a role in triggering problems.

In fact, as early as when he was punished by the death of the immortal path system, he realized the important principles related to human nature in the process of the collapse of the soul core. It's just that he doesn't know it.

Now, the missing part appears in the form of an examiner, requiring him to complete self-consistency.

This is a very dangerous situation, and once he makes a series of adjustments that are seriously to the left of the subject in this context, it means that a second personality has emerged.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by throwing it away. It's like a cancer cell that has spread from the start, and it needs a full outcome, not a part of it.

Xu Changqing walked silently in the rain, as if he was thinking, as if he was watching, the raindrops fell on him, blocked by the thin and imperceptible energy layer, and rolled and slipped like falling on plastic paper.

No one paid attention to this detail, and he was just an ordinary passer-by in the rain now.

Rainy nights always come early, and before you know it, it's already lit up, and the neon glow is even brighter under the reflection of the wet ground and puddles.

The feeling of loneliness slowly crept into my heart, there was no warmth, no waiting, only myself. The hustle and bustle has become a counterpoint, and it is not as pleasant as the empty one.

Pathetic?

No.

Have only oneself to blame?

A little.

Don't love others, only yourself. It will not be loved, and even if there is, it will be short-lived and quickly lost.

Of course, it is really a heartfelt endorsement of this selfishness. Determined enough, this kind of pain can also be as easy as a breeze to pass away.

No one is good for 100 days, and no flower is red for 100 days. There is always a high and low, which is related to the stimulation of the outside world, and it is more about one's own heart, and when it is transferred to that position, it is sad.

Xu Changqing didn't feel so sad at the moment, but empty, thinking about those great research careers, he also felt that he couldn't lift his energy. So he walked and watched until the dead of night, until he reached the edge of the city......
