Volume 3: The Demon King Chapter 45
The process of human growth is also a process of gradual detachment from nature. Most human beings of Wen Zhentian's age are still inextricably linked to this most innocent world, and they still belong to nature at this time. Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers...... To describe man's most intuitive impression of nature, these unadorned words are sufficient; If you want to see the best side of nature, you need a heart as pure as water.
Wen Zhentian lay comfortably on the green grass, with the wind in his nose, the fragrance of grass and trees. There are also birdsong, and the sun.
He was almost asleep.
He tugged at the grass on the ground boredly, twisted them into his fingertips, and then put his fingers to the tip of his nose. He raised his hand in the air again, and could see that his fingers were dyed green.
Qi Wei appeared behind him silently, and Qi Wu said, "Xiaocao will hurt." ”
As soon as Wen Zhentian rolled over and rolled up from the ground, he looked at Qi Wei vigilantly and shouted loudly: "What about my father!" ”
A large knife flew from afar and plunged diagonally into the grass in front of Wen Zhentian.
Qi worriedly said: "He is waiting for you in front." He pointed to Qishan.
"Where?"
"The end of the mountain road." Qi worried.
"Oh." Wen Zhentian nodded, he reached out and pulled out the big knife, and carefully wrapped the blade with a black cloth.
Seeing that he was doing it very seriously, Qi Wei asked, "Why did you hide it in the cloth?" It's just an ordinary knife. ”
Wen Zhentian didn't raise his head: "It's called intentional, it's a knife that my father has used for twenty years." My dad has taken the lives of too many people and demons with this knife, this is a very fierce knife! Wrapped in a black cloth to cover the murderous aura of the knife. ”
Qi Wei nodded.
Wen Zhentian said again: "My father said that from now on, in addition to life, it is the most important thing!" ”
Then Wen Zhentian put the knife behind his back, patted the dust on his body, and said, "I'm going to find my father." ”
"Go ahead." Qi worried, "Although the road is difficult to walk. ”
"But my dad is waiting for me." Wen Zhentian walked as he walked.
Seeing that little figure disappearing into the forest, Qi Wei couldn't help but think of the little ghost who was walking hard at the foot of Tiancha Mountain many years ago; Then his thoughts flew farther away, and he remembered himself again. He once thought that what supported them on this path was some mysterious power hidden in his body. But now he understands that what encourages people to move forward is something called hope.
His hope is the last carrot, Wen Lidong's hope is the dart team waiting behind Tiancha Mountain, and Wen Zhentian's hope is his father waiting at the end of the mountain road.
Although Wen Zhentian didn't know it, his father was actually not there.
Qi Wei asked Wen Lidong: "Aren't you afraid that he will be sad?" ”
Wen Lidong smiled bitterly: "There will always be sadness...... It's good to just be sad. If you can get through it, you won't be afraid of anything anymore. ”
Deep in the dense forest, the trees are thick, and here there is no daylight, and it is an early night.
Wen Zhentian brushed aside the branches that stood in his way, stepped on a pile of rotting fallen leaves, and left heavy footprints on them.
A small animal poked its head out: "How can there be humans in the mountains?" ”
How could the king let humans into the mountains?
But the little figure suddenly slipped and rolled down the hill screaming. At the bottom of the hillside is a deep ravine, which is full of rocks.
"The little imp is dead." Half of the book squatted on Qi Wei's shoulder, "His father just died." ”
Qi was silent, but at this time, a fierce tiger suddenly rushed down the hillside and stopped Wen Zhentian.
Wen Zhentian was shocked, but he felt that he was leaning against a soft and fluffy thing, and when he looked back, it was a fierce tiger!
Wen Zhentian screamed silently, he desperately climbed up the hillside, and the tiger behind him was slowly approaching, revealing his white fangs......
When he climbed up the hill and looked back, the tiger was gone.
Wen Zhentian breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to walk forward.
After a long time, the night finally fell.
He stumbled through the forest, crawling almost hand and foot.
When he walked out of the mountains and forests, it was just the first touch of the morning sun. He opened his arms to meet the caress of the sun, and his big golden hands gently caressed his scarred body.
He said, "It's finally here." He lay on the ground relieved, gasping for air, staring at the sky in a daze.
After a long time, he glanced back at the Qi Mountain he had just climbed. A different kind of comfort welled up in him. Although he didn't see his father.
The tiger appeared in front of Qi Wei and said respectfully: "Report to the king, the little ghost is fine." ”
Qi Wei nodded slightly.
Half of the book said faintly: "This doesn't count. How can you ask the youkai to help him? ”
"It's enough for him to muster up the courage to take this path." Qi worried, "Isn't that the first step that can really determine a person?" ”
"He's got over himself. He'll be who he wants to be. ”
"Wen Lidong's purpose has been achieved."
Half of the book smiled: "Hmm." It seems that reading more books is indeed beneficial. It's not in vain that I taught you so many truths. ”
"It can only show that I have a good vision, when there were tens of thousands of mice, I asked you to be my military advisor." Qi said with a smile.
"At the end of the day, I still have to have the strength myself." Half a book said.
"You have to be seen by people." Qi Wei nodded.
"People who see my strength must also have strength." Half a book said.
"We were lucky enough to meet all the conditions that led to where we are today." The two sighed.
The arrival of Wen Dongdong seems to evoke Qi Wei's memories of the past.
This night, Qi Wei sat under the moonlit night, and he changed back to the appearance of a black rabbit, squatting on a boulder, staring at the bright moon in a daze.
It has been more than 20 years since I came to the world.
It's been a long time for humanity.
Zhao Fu, Ah Huang, Big Gray, Little Ah Liu, Little Bai Mo...... In fact, for me, this time can be regarded as long and unforgettable; He had experienced a lot in those days, and there were many people and things that seemed to stay in his mind for a long time. But it's only a long time, the life of a monster is too long, and he doesn't dare to say it at will. Whether he will never forget it for the rest of his life, he actually doesn't know. This can also be regarded as his wish, if he really wants to remember the thousands of years of time of a person who has been missed, isn't it a cruel torture? It's better to forget.
Qi was worried and couldn't help but think back to what happened before he came to the world.
That picturesque place, those happy and free animals, that towering tree, that rabbit......
Half of the book also sat comfortably on the stone, side by side with him.
Half of the book said: "Want to go back to the demon world to see?" ”
Qi Wei smiled: "What books have you eaten again?" How do you still learn to guess people's hearts? ”
Half of the book said: "Mochizuki misses his hometown." That's what I've known for a long time. ”
Qi worried, "Do you think I should go back and have a look?" ”
"If you have this thought, then you should go back." Half a book said.
"Should I go back......?"
"You're not being kicked out, and you're not running away from anything. Objectively speaking, you are like a child who quarreled with his parents and left home in anger. "Half a book said.
Maybe I really came out to escape.
In order to escape the rules that I don't agree with, I also made a vow that I would come back when the world recognized my rules. Looking back now, I still feel a little emotional.
The world does not need to recognize his rules. Even humans refuse to admit that youkai have their rightful place in the world.
is young, grew up in the demon world, and has not seen the world, so he dares to speak out about the world, he is really young and ignorant! What's more, I learned much later that the world doesn't need to admit any rules, it doesn't even need rules to exist.
As long as you can live in this world and accomplish what you want to do, it is enough.
This does not need to be proven.
So Qi Wei smiled: "When I came out of the demon world, I was still a rabbit less than a year old. He then emphasized, "White rabbit." ”
"After staying in the human world for more than 20 years, I became a powerful monster." Qi Wei smiled proudly, "I dare to say that even in the demon world, there are few monsters who can achieve as much as me!" ”
"So are you sure you want to return home?" Half a book said.
"Hmm. I'd love to go back and see it. ”
"Then let's go back and have a look." Half of the book said, "Gather an army of monsters tomorrow and march to the demon world!" ”
