Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Meaning of Existence

The two got off the boat, Xiaocao Xinye found that Chu Xiang didn't need to swim at all, and walked on the waves, as if he was in the void, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the boatman was even more dumbfounded, only to feel that Chu Xiang was a fairy, and bowed his head and worshipped.

There are indeed a lot of reefs in this area, not to mention boats, it is very dangerous to swim over like Kokusa Shinno, and if you accidentally hit the reef by the waves, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

Soon, Chu Xiang saw the island in front of him, there were some broken skyscrapers around the island, this island should have been a small hill before, and after the sea level rose, the rest of the place was submerged, and the mountain became an island. The island is not big, two or three hundred meters long, the island is wooded, and birds can be seen circling from time to time, which is the season when the breath of life is the most vigorous.

There are people on the island, there are quite a few, at least four or five, all of them are not weak, Chu Xiang looked up to the sky and roared, and the whistling sound pierced the air, intending to inform the people on the island that he came to challenge him openly, not sneaking on the island.

Soon, several people gathered on the shore, looking at Chu Xiang and two people, three men and one woman, all of whom had an aura that was not weaker than Xiaocao Xinye.

"Would you like one?" Chu Xiangdao.

"Okay." Xiaocao Xinye said without hesitation.

Someone swept the formation, such an opportunity did not come often, and he knew that Chu Xiang would not let him die under the opponent's sword, this was a good opportunity to challenge the strong.

The three men and one woman retreated to the edge of the forest, indicating that they would not attack while the two were ashore, and welcomed the guests generously.

Going ashore, Chu Xiang stood with his hands in his hands, without speaking, Xiaocao Xinye knew that Chu Xiang would not make a move, and stepped forward. The four people in front of him, but the strength of the refining marrow is not worth Chu Xiang's attack, and there are two powerful auras on the island that surpass them, and that is his opponent.

The one facing the youngest man, the two bowed to each other, Xiaocao Xinye pulled out the knife from the sheath, and slowly approached the other party, the other party did not draw the knife, the right hand held the knife, and the left hand slowly pushed the knife away.

This person actually practiced the sword drawing technique, and the first time he saw the sword drawing technique, Chu Xiang couldn't take his eyes off it, staring at the young man. Knowing that the other party was practicing Juhe Dao, Xiaocao Xinye was more cautious and didn't dare to relax a little.

Xiaocao Xinye slowly circled around the opponent, looking for the opponent's flaws, the opponent's posture was calm, without revealing any flaws, and the battle situation was stalemate for a while. Drawing the knife is about one shot, in the frontal battle is generally to use static braking, the rear strike, Xiaocao Xinye does not shoot, the opponent does not have the certainty of killing with one blow, and will not take the initiative to shoot.

In the unexpected situation, Xiaocao Xinye knew that this battle was different from what he expected, and he had to fight with all his might, otherwise it would be the end of his death, and even Chu Xiang would not be able to protect him. Wolf-like eyes staring at each other, Xiaocao Xinye carefully looked for the opponent's flaws, and couldn't find the opponent's flaws instead made Xiaocao Xinye's blood boil, and the battle against Chu Xiang was different, this opponent was just a little stronger than him, it was really the perfect challenge object, as long as he defeated it, he could go to the next level.

Xiaocao Xinye tried to move forward a few times, but his opponent did not move, and he was not confused by his false moves, and he was as steady as Mount Tai. A tea time has passed, the two are still facing each other, no one dares to relax a little, Xiaocao Xinye is like a hungry wolf, studying how to prey on the hedgehog in front of him.

The drumming internal strength and the scorching weather, the clothes on Xiaocao Xinye's body quickly dried, and the sea salt condensed like white powder appeared on his body, and the opponent was just the opposite of Xiaocao Xinye, his clothes were gradually wet with sweat, and his forehead began to sweat.

After more than half an hour of confrontation, after Xiaocao Xinye changed the angle of 1,625 shots, the battle finally broke out, and the sword in his hand was slashed like lightning, and at the same time, a snowy sword light burst out from the opponent's scabbard, and the sword light was vertical and horizontal, and then the two of them retreated.

Xiaocao Xinye smiled, his long hair flying down in the wind, and a bloody mark on his opponent's chest just scratched the skin. This duel is not easy to win, win thrilling, half an hour of confrontation, only won half a move against the opponent, the opponent cut his hair, he cut the opponent with a knife, how unhappy is Xiaocao Xinye.

To Chu Xiang's surprise, he originally thought that Xiaocao Xinye would lose this battle, but he didn't expect him to win, Chu Xiang was a little hesitant to continue to keep him by his side.

When Xiaocao Xinye laughed, Chu Xiang's opponent finally appeared, and a raunchy man slowly walked out of the woods, the sword in his hand slowly undulating with his footsteps, like a moving music, and there was a special rhythm between walking.

The aura that fits with the environment, no matter where it appears, it is not abrupt at all, and at a glance, Chu Xiang knows that this swordsman is cultivating the way of nature.

Seeing this person appear, Xiaocao Xinye didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and retreated behind Chu Xiang, and the four people on the opposite side also respectfully retreated behind the swordsman who cultivated the way of nature.

"Chu Xiang, please advise." Chu took two steps forward, bowed his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the cowhide scabbard shot into the ground and disappeared.

After Kokusa Shinno translated Chu Xiang's words, the raunchy swordsman bowed to Chu Xiang, not surprised at all because Chu Xiang spoke Chinese, and drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Keiichi Anteng, please."

As soon as the words fell, the Tang knife in Chu Xiang's hand was as bright as electricity, and it directly took An Tengjing's vital point, and An Tengjing's knife was bright and snowy, rolling up a thousand heavy snow. Fierce battle broke out, Chu Xiang made one move and one style, heavy as thunder, An Tengjing continued with a knife light, only defending and not attacking, Chu Xiang made a few moves, and felt bored, so he pulled back.

"It's no fun to kill you." Chu moved slightly to his feet, and the cowhide scabbard that shot into the ground jumped out and covered the long knife.

Xiaocao Xinye was stunned when he saw this, and translated Chu Xiang's words to the other party, and translated An Teng Jingyi's words to Chu Xiang.

"Then it's even more boring for you to kill her." An Tengjing together.

"Why?" Chu Xiang was puzzled.

Kokusa Shinno did not translate this sentence, and replied himself: "Because she is a very beautiful woman." ”

Pretty woman! A beautiful woman in the realm of Danjin! Chu Xiang was a little surprised, the first time he heard that there was a woman who had practiced to the Danjin level, and she was still a beautiful woman.

"I'm curious." Chu Xiang said bluntly.

As soon as Chu Xiang's words fell, a soft and pleasant voice came, like a hollow valley orchid, refreshing: "There are guests from afar, and they are happy." ”

The soft voice came with the wind, and a shocking shadow floated out of the forest, Chu Xiangfu looked at it, as if he saw a plague god, turned around and left, stepping into the sea, leaving a small grass and new field like a chicken.

Xiaocao Xinye was stunned, An Tengjing smiled, and turned to leave.

Seeing Chu Xiang's figure disappear into the tide, when Xiaocao Xinye turned to look at the comer, all the people on the island were gone, leaving him alone, and the matter was extremely mysterious.

Was this woman scared away because she could speak Chinese? After thinking hard for a long time, Xiaocao Xinye still couldn't figure it out, and if he couldn't figure it out, he could only not think about it, jumped into the sea, and returned the same way.

When he returned to the fishing boat, Chu Xiang was waiting for him on the fishing boat, and after receiving the two of them, the boatman immediately returned to the boat.

Looking at Chu Xiang intently, Xiaocao Xinye was very curious, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and his expression was very entangled for a while.

When he was about to return to the shore, Xiaocao Xinye finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you running?" ”

"I can't stop running." Chu Xiangdao.

"Can't help but run?" Kokusa Shinno didn't understand.

"Yes, you can't stop running."

"Why can't you not run?" Kokusa Shinno continued to ask.

"Because she's a very beautiful woman." Chu Xiangdao.

"There are a lot of beautiful women in this world."

"She's one of a kind."

Xiaocao Xinye still doesn't understand: "What about Marilyn Monroe, Sophie Marceau, and Audrey Hepburn." ”

"They're just mortals."

"Isn't she mortal?"

Chu Xiang sighed and said, "You don't understand, when you reach the realm of An Teng Jingyi, you will know." “

Xiaocao Xinye understood this sentence a little, and said: "An Teng Keiichi stayed on the island because of her?" ”

"Nine times out of ten."

"It's a little strange to have a supreme master protect her with all his heart, but there's no reason for you to be so afraid."

"You'll find out later." Chu Xiangdao put an end to this topic.

When the two returned to the shore, it was already dark, and the lights were dim everywhere, and after walking for a while, Xiaocao Xinye suddenly said, "Don't you want to know what her name is?" ”

"I don't want to." Chu Xiang said without hesitation, there was no woman on the list of masters given by Kawashima Hongjing, he didn't know the name of this woman, and he didn't want to know.

"Why?" Xiaocao Xinye couldn't help but continue to ask.

"There's no why." Chu Xiang ended the topic again.

Kokusa Shinno had no choice but to stop continuing the topic. There is a night market by the sea, there are vendors selling food, all kinds of snacks are dazzling, it is very tempting, Chu Xiang suddenly wanted to eat.

"Do you have any money?" Chu Xiangdao.

"And a few more." Kokusa Shinno Road.

"Let's have something to eat." Chu Xiang said and sat down at a stall.

Glancing at the various snacks around, Chu Xiang was unceremonious, and ordered everything he saw, two servings of the same, and enjoyed eating. It's probably been a long time since I've met such a bold customer, and the owners of several stalls brought things over as fast as they could, filling two tables.

Looking at the food in front of him, Xiaocao Xinye said: "I don't have so much money. ”

Chu Xiang's heart fluctuated a little, and he understood that he was a little out of control, and the shocking interference in his brain made him make some abnormal moves, and his mind was hot with things that were beyond the scope of financial resources, did he want to eat the overlord meal now!

"Eat first." Chu Xiang said calmly.

Xiaocao Xinye didn't speak, and ate silently.

Halfway through eating, Chu Xiang said, "Go catch some fish and come back to settle the account." ”

Xiaocao Xinye was eating to the end, and when he heard this, his face turned from red to blue, and he glared at Chu Xiang and said, "Can you eat first?" ”

"Okay, eat first." Chu Xiangdao, ignoring Xiaocao Xinye's anger.

After the two finished eating, Xiaocao Xinye left silently and went to the sea to fish.

Although I ordered a lot of snacks, but the total amount was not much, it didn't add up to ten catties, and it was not enough for the two of them to eat enough to stuff their teeth, after Xiaocao Xinye left, Chu Xiang ordered another table, probably because he was afraid that Chu Xiang would eat the overlord meal, and the bosses of several stalls secretly exchanged glances, and they didn't get it right.

After a cup of tea, the food was ready, but several stall owners did not serve it for a long time, and the vendors' worries were of course understood, and they did not urge, and they could not urge due to language barriers, waiting for Xiaocao Xinye to come back.

Xiaocao Xinye didn't come back for a long time, Chu Xiang was not in a hurry, and put the crumbs in the dish into his mouth one by one. Half an hour later, Xiaocao Xinye finally came back, and saw Xiaocao Xinye coming back with a few big fish that were one person long, and in less than ten seconds, several stall owners brought up Chu Xiang's food.

Four big fish, exactly one stall owner, the four stall owners smiled happily, and bowed to Xiaocao Xinye. A fish weighs at least forty or fifty catties, and the food eaten by the two of them together weighs less than twenty catties.

The sea breeze at night is very cool, and the dock is no less crowded than during the day. There is no way, in order to live, in order to survive, these people at the bottom of society can only work day and night, with cheap labor to provide food for the upper class, to get food for themselves, if they do not continue to work, they will be trampled into the mud like dead dogs and become part of the dust.

"What do you say, what does their existence mean to the world?" Chu Xiang looked at the pedestrians.

Xiaocao Xinye thought for a long time, and slowly shook his head, not knowing whether it meant meaningless or didn't know.

This question is indeed too difficult for Kokusa Shinno, after all, he is only twenty-two years old, and he still doesn't understand many things, and it is difficult to understand the essence of this world.

"What about us, what do we mean to the world?" Chu Xiang asked again.

"We?" Xiaocao Xinye was stunned, this question was so abrupt and so natural, it made him a little at a loss.

Looking up at Chu Xiang and looking at Chu Xiang's calm and waveless eyes, Xiaocao Xinye fell into deep thought.
