Seeing the guy who fell clearly, Ning Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "You-"

Yes, it was the female devil who sent Ning Xiao here as a sacrifice.

After falling, the female devil who spent half a day looking at the surrounding situation finally replied to Ning Xiao: "Yes, it's me-Burning Hua!"

Next, she bowed her head to Ning Xiao.

In fact, for Burning Hua, bowing his head is a very necessary means. She had to rely on this means to get many chances to survive. She remembers that when she was a child, she saw a sunflower in front of the courtyard with her head down.

So, on a whim, she found rope and bamboo poles and fixed one of the sunflowers, so that it could stand tall and look directly at the sun. At that time, she naively thought that this would save the sunflowers the trouble of spinning around, would be able to absorb sunlight better, and the particles would definitely be fuller in the future.

In autumn, when the sunflowers were ripe, she couldn't wait to come to the sunflower with its head held high, thinking that it would grow its best. As a result, frustratingly, the sunflower was empty, without a single plump seed in it, and emitted a pungent musty smell.

At this time, her master came over.

So, she asked the master in confusion: "Why do sunflowers with their heads held high have no harvest?" ”

"Silly boy," the master said with a smile. "The sunflower is head-up, and the excess rain and dew in it can't be drained out, and it is easy to breed bacteria, so it will rot away, and you are kind enough to help. In fact, sunflowers bow their heads slightly, one is to express their piety and respect for the sun, and the other is also to protect themselves, although sunflowers are a kind of plants that can't speak and have no wisdom, but they are born with the knowledge that if they want to survive in the world, they must know how to bow their heads moderately. ”

"Oh!" After listening to the master's words, she nodded as if she didn't understand.

Later, she found that not only sunflowers, but also many other plants understood this truth, for example, when the millet was young, they always held their heads high and looked fearless; But when they mature, they always bow their heads humbly, looking like they are indisputable. Because this not only effectively avoids the danger of being broken, but also allows the bird to find a point of focus, thus preserving the fruit that it has worked so hard to obtain.

That's when it dawned on her. It turns out that bowing your head is also a kind of big mind, great realm, and great wisdom. She once had a senior brother, who has always pursued the principle of "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden", so he was very tough, and as a result, he offended many people. Before he left the school, he died. On his deathbed, he was still asking himself, "I'm just defending my rights, what's wrong with that?" ”

It's true that there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that there's something wrong with it. There was once such a wise saying: "When you are poor, you will not be deceived; On the day of soaring, no one will be jealous. "As a wise man, you should know when to fight for it, when to let go, and blindly compromise for perfection, which is a kind of cowardice; And blindly arrogant is a kind of ignorance. It is difficult for a guy who is reckless, competitive, arrogant, and invincible everywhere to get the recognition and affirmation of other guys, and it is difficult to achieve anything.

In ancient times, a wise man once said: The most rigid and easy to break, the best is like water. You must not be proud of your spirit, but you must never always hold your head high. A gentleman is a man in the world, like flowing water, good at facilitating all things, and watery and soft, not arguing with others.

In other words, only those who can be low can be high; Those who can bend can stretch; Those who can be soft can be strong; Those who can retreat can only advance.

Ning Xiao had the idea of destroying her. Unexpectedly, she lowered her head first. For a while, Ning Xiao was not easy to do. Besides, it seems that there are only two of them alive here. It's better to have a guy to talk to than to face death alone. Who would have thought that two people talking are not speculative. Fan Hua wondered if Ning Xiao was a witch. Ning Xiao wondered why Fan Hua was here. As a result, both sides are guarding against the other, and neither reveals the answers they need to the other. The two men were at an impasse.

In the midst of the confrontation, Ning Xiao thought of several things that Cheng Ziyang had told her.

A sudden sandstorm disorients a solo traveler through the desert. Even more frighteningly, the backpacks with dry food and water were gone. Rummaging through all his pockets, he found only one green apple.

"Oh, I still have an apple." He shouted in surprise. He held the apple in his hand, and searched for a way out in the desert.

A whole day and night passed, and he still did not get out of the empty desert. Hunger, thirst, and exhaustion all came together. Looking at the endless desert, there were several times when he felt that he was about to lose his bearing. However, glancing at the apple in his hand, he pursed his chapped lips, and suddenly gained some strength.

With the scorching sun on his head, he lost count of the number of times he had fallen. Only each time, he struggled to get up, staggering and moving forward little by little. He kept silently saying in his heart: "I still have an apple, I still have an apple......"

Three days later, he finally walked out of the desert. The green apple, which he had never bitten into, was so dry that it didn't look like it was looking good. But he still held it in his hand like a treasure and stared at it for a long time.

It was a strong belief and hope in life that pulled him out of the brink of death.

A philosopher once said, "Faith is half life, and indifference is half death." "In the journey of life, people often encounter various setbacks and failures, and they will find themselves in some unexpected difficulties. At this time, don't easily say that you have nothing. In fact, as long as you don't extinguish a firm belief in your heart and work hard to find it, you will always find the "apple" that will help you get through the difficulties.

Then, Cheng Ziyang told her another story.

Two men crossed the desert together. The water ran out, and to make matters worse, one of them suffered from heat stroke and could not move. The companion went to look for water, and as he left, he shoved the pistol into the guy who was suffering from heat stroke: "There are five bullets in the gun, remember, in three hours, there will be a shot in the air every hour, and the sound of the gun will guide me in the right direction, and I will meet you." ”

So, the two of them split their hands. The fellow lay in the desert waiting, full of suspicion. He looked at his watch and fired his gun on time. However, he had a hard time believing that the companion would say that he heard the gunshots. Then he became more and more frightened, believing that his companion had failed to find water, and that he had died of thirst on the way; After a while, he speculated that his companion had found water, but abandoned him.

As a result, when it came time to fire the fifth shot, the man was desperate. He aimed the loosening jaw at his temple and pulled the trigger......

Unbelievingly, the companion carrying a pot full of water led a caravan of camels to follow the sound. Unfortunately, all they saw was a corpse......

Almost all wise men have said, "A person's greatest enemy is often himself", "In fact, no one can defeat you." The only one who can bring you down is you."

These should be the truths. Because even if a person is in a desperate situation, he must never say that he is not good, and do not give up hope and belief in life. First of all, we must believe in ourselves, and believe in ourselves in order to surpass ourselves and get out of all desperate situations.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiao quickly perked up. Since the female devil can come in, it means that she can get out here. Everything in the world is complementary to each other, and there must be an entry and an exit.

"Bang!" Soon, the word "shrine maiden" flashed through her mind. In the divine realm, there are not many gods who know that they have witchcraft, and their level is above that of god generals. In the Demon Realm, there are almost no people who know her secret. So, where did the "witch" in the mouth of the female demon come from?

"Mikoto?" The gods of the divine realm would never call themselves that. In the demon world, few people dare to call her that. Apart from...... Now, Ning Xiao remembered. She remembered that only ancient behemoths would call themselves that. Then, the only one who can deal with that female demon can be called ancient, and there is only that ancient demon.

"Oh!" Thinking of this, Ning Xiao couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. If the Ancient Demon called himself a "witch", it meant that it could be subject to witchcraft just like the Ancient Behemoth.

In Ning Xiao's inheritance memory, there is a very clear imprint. That is, when she was learning witchcraft, the great elder of the witch clan told her very solemnly: in the ancient beasts, witches cannot be sacrificed. Otherwise, the Ancient Behemoth will self-inflict.

At this moment, Ning Xiao couldn't help but set his eyes on the female demon who was looking everywhere. She finally understood why the witch was here. Dare to love is that the ancient demonic beast found itself devouring the witch. In desperation, I had to send the female devil here as well to make amends to her.

"Huh!" After thinking about Ning Xiao and knowing that he was finally free from the danger of death, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.
