Treading the Snow Chapter 19 All thoughts are lost at a glance
If there were no disasters in the world, the world would not be much better, because life is inherently selfish.
Xu Changan's purity and justice have become his shackles at the moment, if you can't untie this way, "ask yourself." Then his life that has not yet set sail will be accompanied by the lingering blackness, walking in his self-bound human purgatory.
But how difficult it is for a fourteen-year-old boy to get the answer to that human truth that belongs to him. Thankfully, he had already taken the first step and started trying to answer this question. And at this moment, the obsession in his heart, saving the surviving friends of the deceased, saving all the people of Dawn near Kulong Town, and saving all the people who can still live have become the only belief in his heart.
It's just that this kind of fearless courage is so weak and vulnerable when it really faces the rumored demon god.
Xu Changan was trembling and kneeling on the ground at the moment, unable to lift any strength on his body, all the pure and abnormal internal breath in his body shrank in the qi mansion, without any movement, and the golden villain who was born in his heart was even more cracked all over his body at this moment, like a ceramic doll that could be broken at any time, and the cold sweat that flowed all over his body because of fear or anxiety condensed the thin green shirt on his body into frost.
He had come to thwart the Demon God, perhaps because he was ignorant or bold, or because he was blinded by the obsession in his heart, or because he was in that extreme state with the crazy thought of abandoning himself and dying with the enemy, which prompted him to come to the Demon God under unexpected circumstances for everyone in this place.
However, the reality is always bloody, just like his state at the moment, like a cowardly wild dog trembling and kneeling on the ice field, not even the ability to raise his head and look at the demon gods.
A majestic demon dragon in the sky spread its overwhelming wings and flew quietly from the sky, and above the dragon's back, there stood a group of demon guards who were like wolves and tigers, bloody and imposing, all of whom were the guards of the demon god, and behind everyone's uniformity, there was a throne full of demonic energy and ghostly light, and the faces of countless souls were squirming on the throne seat, and those faces who were constantly struggling in pain seemed to be constantly roaring, but no one could understand what they were saying, only bursts of terrible roars came from the throne, and above the throne, a seat of imperial armor cast by divine gold covered the whole body of this person, while the helmet sits silently on the armrest.
The demon god has long blue hair, naturally draped in divine armor, and his handsome face is somewhat similar to that of a human, but the strange pattern in the pupils of his eyes, and the wings pulled by the deafness in the north indicate the true identity of this person. He seemed a little bored at the moment, so quietly leaning on the throne, stunned. The accompanying guards all stared at the front without squinting, and no one dared to pay attention to what the demon god was doing at the moment. On both sides of the Sky Demon Dragon, there are three demon warriors with different images, hanging from the dragon, and the accompanying guards on both sides of the dragon are also not squinting.
When Xu Changan suddenly appeared in front of this group of people, the demon god above the dragon seemed to have discovered something happy, and his stunned gaze suddenly turned to stare at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. The moment his gaze touched the boy, the boy fell from the air to the ground, and then did not react. The demon god muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "It's not interesting. He didn't pay much attention to it, and then continued to be stunned.
The demon guards passed by the boy as if nothing had happened, and then went away, without earth-shattering fights, without bloody and brutal abuse, as calm as strangers passing by.
And after the fall, Xu Changan, no matter how he tried, he couldn't move a bit, and when the demon god was volleying through the air, his mind was much darker than even struggling. Such a real and cowardly performance made Xu Changan fall into despair.
The fish that I thought about died and the net was broken, and we all died together. However, when he really faced the demon god, with just one look, he was like a lost dog, kneeling on the ground and stealing his life. I can't even rush in and fight to the death, what else can I talk about saving the common people and appeasing the souls of the dead, I am just a coward hiding in the corner in the end, and the words that the master said when he was seriously teaching the brothers to be human beings flashed in his mind, and for a while made the death of the dying more complete.
When the Demon Emperor disappeared into the sky of the Sumeru space for a long time, Xu Changan, whose face was full of tears, got up in a daze, he didn't know what else he could do, where he was going to go, he had a little time left, but it seemed extremely long at this moment.
"Young man, what's your name?" a familiar voice sounded in Xu Changan's ears.
Xu Changan turned around numbly to look, and a line of rotten wood loomed from the wind and snow. When the mayor came to Xu Changan's side, Xu Changan still looked at this person expressionlessly. He didn't understand in his heart, how could this guardian clan who was guarding the sealed demon well watch the town being destroyed, and not be indifferent, and even let the foreign enemy wantonly destroy it again. This old man is doing things that are not in the least compatible with his responsibilities, and even go against them. But at this moment, Xu Changan couldn't question the person in front of him, because he felt that he was no different from him, and he didn't help the seal of the magic well at all, nor did he help the dawn people in the world.
Looking at the young man's boring face, the old man sighed softly. "Let me tell you my story. "Maybe it's because the old man feels that his life is short, and he wants to confide in the secret that has been buried in his heart for many years, maybe it's because the young man is at a loss and has no choice. The two of them accompanied each other aimlessly on the ice field of the Sumeru space, one talked endlessly, and the other listened silently.
"I was young and talented, and before I was fifteen years old, I showed extraordinary talent. At that time, I didn't know that the family heirloom was a peerless secret book that few martial arts and immortal ways in the world could be cultivated at the same time. Now that I think about it, the inheritance of the human emperor is certainly not child's play. It's just that the speed of my cultivation frightened my grandfather, because martial arts and immortal dao can be practiced together, in fact, this set of exercises is much slower than martial arts cultivation and immortal dao cultivation, and it is even more difficult to succeed in practice, but I am like a bamboo, in just fifteen years old, I have already come to the martial arts to ascend the dragon, the immortal path to refine the soul, for a time the style is unparalleled. It's just that I didn't know that because of my talent, my life was arranged in advance. The mayor sighed at this point.
"Since then, my grandfather has taught me alone, and at the same time announced to the family that I will be the next patriarch after my grandfather, directly spanning three generations, and promoted to patriarch. At home, in Dry Dragon Town, I was in the limelight at the time. Later, when I cultivated to the level of martial arts detachment and began to transfer to the immortal path, my grandfather passed on the complete demon suppression mastery to me, and I was already 25 years old at that time. When you reach an age, you should naturally start a family. Anyway, I like a girl from a foreign country. She likes to wander the world, and I am willing to accompany him. However, the truth is impermanent, and when my grandfather found out, he immediately dragged me into the house. Tell me that all the family patriarchs are not allowed to take outsiders, let alone leave Kulong Town. In the end, he took me to the bottom of this demon well, looked at the endless demons here and said that the patriarchs of the past generations were the chosen guardians of the clan, and they must take on the responsibility of taking care of this well. lest foreign enemies come and break this seal, which will lead to the destruction of human beings. And each guardian must intermarry with the guardians of the other seven families to ensure that the descendants can retain those who are pure in the blood of the gods. Because the bloodline is getting thinner and thinner, there will be fewer people who can cultivate the family's demon suppression mastery. When there is no one to pass it on, these families will be cut off. Just like the other five guardian clansmen, they were wiped out in the Dry Dragon Town and turned into mortals. If it had not been for this, the old lady's position as patriarch would not have passed to me when I was twenty-five. The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who doesn't envy mortals? All disasters are fought by people who help them, and they are the happiest people." ”
"Then I refused and wanted to step down from my position as patriarch. Fly with that girl and wander the world. It's just that my old lady resolutely refused to allow it, and later even detained the girl and restrained her at the bottom of the sealed demon well, so that I could not leave recklessly. But we were monks, and the woman was a mortal, and she died not long after she was here, and I did not even see her even when she died. But the old lady said that she was accumulating merit for the world, because of this catastrophe. At that time, I was weak, what can I say, and later my realm was higher, and finally before the old lady's limit was approaching, I killed him with a sword, but before the old lady died, he told me that he knew that I would be like this. Since then, I have become accustomed to loneliness, taking care of the warmth and coldness of the world, and the realm has become more and more profound, and then I have actually cultivated to the realm of immortals. What a great pain it is to live forever between such a cold-blooded and merciless heaven and earth, and you will never see the person in your heart again, what a helpless sorrow. The old man closed his eyes, as if he wanted to forget all this unhappiness and pain.
"Now the eight command cards of the Demon Well have been refined by me. Once the well is broken, even if I am an immortal, I will be destroyed. Then I can go to another world to see if she is doing well. ”
The old man seemed to vomit out the years of depression in his heart, and his wrinkled face was gradually covered with tears.
Xu Changan didn't know if he was crying because of the tragic experience of the girl he loved, or because he cried because he killed the grandfather who was about to die with a sword, but he felt that this mayor was crazy, and he could do such a heart-wrenching thing.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" the old man seemed to be asking Xu Changan, and as if he was asking himself.
Xu Changan was already disillusioned with himself at the moment, but he still firmly said to the old man's behavior of being disillusioned with the world, "No." Although he is powerless, although he feels guilty and remorseful, it is only his own weakness, he still has an elder like the master in his heart, as well as a chivalrous man like Su Jingran who saves people in danger, and a hero like Zhuang Xiong who implements justice.
Thinking of this, Su Jingran couldn't help but feel hope in his heart, "Second brother, the Dao Law is all over the sky, and I am happy to save this crisis" Just turned his mind again, thinking of the demon god who made him lose all thoughts at just a glance, Xu Changan couldn't help but be a little dazed. Is there anyone in the world who can resist such might?
Young people are always bumping between disappointment and hope, which may be the vigor of the young heart, the sun rises and the moon sets and disappears.
The old mayor heard the phrase "Wrong. With tears in his eyes, he laughed at himself, "What if it's wrong, I've done what I thought in my heart." Let me say goodbye to this sinful world. But he still remembered the site where the lover of his heart was buried at the end. I just want to sleep with him before I die.
"I have a request, young man. For the first time, the old man turned his head to look at the young man with a blank expression.
Xu Changan still walked on the ice field by himself, stepping on the snow smoothly and straight, and imprinting a complete footprint, which seemed to be the only way to produce a trace of peace in the bottom of his heart. It's just that the problem of the elderly is still deaf.
"After my death, I want you to tell me that my remains are buried in the cemetery where we are about to arrive. Thank you. The old man didn't care whether Xu Changan heard it or not, and took Xu Changan to walk in the silver-white pure ice and snow world.
There is no distinction between good and evil in the world, but if there are too many obsessions in the heart, they will turn into right and wrong, and when there are more people to judge, they will evolve into good and evil.
How do you know if what you are doing is good or evil?
