Chapter 43: Answers (II)
"I don't know about this?" I don't know what secret your friend is planning to make him so obsessed with it that he doesn't even want his life. Mo Lan's tone was very strange, and she couldn't tell whether she was complaining or sighing. His death has changed too many places in this world, and it has also changed the Valley of Love, and it has also changed the Pandan tribe. ”
I looked at Mo Lan's eyes, and there were no heavy eyes, her eyes were still so cloudy, and I couldn't find the feeling I had back then. I don't know what she wants to say, but I always feel a faint hatred in her every move.
"I almost held Xiao Yin in the palm of my hand to help, and even went to a foreign country to protect him, but in the end, I didn't expect him to choose the way of self-destruction." Mo Lan's voice suddenly dimmed. "After Xiao Yin's death, my sisters severely rebuked me, and I myself fell into deep despair and self-blame."
"It's not your fault, Mo Lan, Xiao Yin's death really has nothing to do with you." I don't know where Mo Lan's self-blame comes from. "He may have his own unspeakable secrets."
"You don't understand, Liu Quan, you will never understand this kind of frustration In fact, after Xiao Yin was planted with an orchid Gu five years ago, my sisters were not optimistic about Xiao Yin, the son of an orchid, because he was weaker than those people before." Mo Lan breathed loosely and said gloomily. "But at the time, I felt that he was different from those before me, and I didn't like his personality, but I could feel that he seemed to have a temperament in him."
"After you chose a son of an orchid, you actually already had an assessment of him, right? It is equivalent to saying that you expected Xiao Yin to die before, and did not expect him"
Mo Lan seemed to have something unspeakable, but she still nodded. "My sisters are like that, but I'm not. Sister Chunlan gave up her observation of Xiao Yin after you left, under normal circumstances, she observed and protected the Son of Orchid by herself, only Xiao Yin was directly pushed to me because she was not interested. ”
"But in the past five years, Xiao Yin has unexpectedly persevered?" I asked rhetorically.
"In fact, this has nothing to do with time, it has to do with a person's mentality, Xiao Yin has a 'cautious independence' character, can judge and deny himself, and he seems to have always been very clear about what he needs, which is really unexpected to us, he has always had a barrier set up for himself in his heart, and he has never crossed it. So in the fifth year, my sisters were full of confidence in Xiao Yin, and then they gave me an order to let me lurk by Xiao Yin's side and ensure his safety, so that I haven't been back to the Valley of Love for a year, I once incarnated as a staff member and lurked in Xiao Yin's company, and then incarnated as a reporter and flew to the other side of the ocean, Xiao Yin's failure to protect is really my dereliction of duty. ”
"Mo Lan, everyone has their own thoughts, even if you are a godborn, you can't control a person's thoughts." I comforted. "It's just that Xiao Yin chooses to understand himself, which is indeed a big pity for your pandan clan, maybe he has been living well, and he can help you really refine the character of the orchid and spread it. But it's really hard to ask. ”
Mo Lan erected the chair, then shook her hair and shook her spirits, which was more like an unacceptable insistence. "Liu Quan, I'm so tired, it's late, it's over."
"Mo Lan...... Although Xiao Yin is gone, the mission of your people is still continuing, and you have also said that you have persisted for thousands of years, and there must be another orchid child after Xiao Yin's death, and you must still have a chance. I gently patted Mo Lan on the shoulder.
In fact, although I said this, I also felt that my comfort was very funny, the son of the orchid will give birth to one in many years, Xiao Yin died, Mo Lan and they may have to wait for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, this will be another long and difficult wait, it is estimated that I will turn into weeds by the river or moss on the roots of old trees. Even if Mo Lan is a godborn, waiting for a hundred years will be the most painful ordeal.
"Actually, there's no more chance......" Mo Lan got rid of my hand and gently twisted the key, and the engine of the sports car let out a low roar.
I thought I had misheard, but Mo Lan repeated it again. "Liu Quan, in fact, we don't have a chance."
"No chance?" I looked at her at a loss, not knowing what she meant by the opportunity, whether it was Xiao Yin or herself.
"In the future, maybe there will be no more orchid children." Mo Lan said sadly, although there were no tears in her eyes, the coldness in her tone was still permeating the carriage.
I grabbed her arm and shook it in surprise. "What does this mean? Could it be that Xiao Yin is the last son of an orchid? ”
"Do you know that as time goes by, the temptations of this world become more and more numerous, the character of the orchid becomes more and more blurred, Xiao Yin is the one who is closest to success, it is impossible to discover such a noble quality after him, and his death has almost shattered all the hopes of our pandan clan." Mo Lan explained. "So I sometimes really hate Xiao Yin, he obviously has a chance to succeed, and he didn't spread any of his own ideas during his lifetime, like a gust of wind blowing, leaving nothing."
I sighed, feeling like my whole being was in a suffocating atmosphere with Mo Lan. Xiao Yin really didn't leave anything, not even the orchid system that he was so proud of couldn't leave us. "He's dead, so don't blame him anymore."
"You know what? Sister Chunlan has already broken the container of the orchid Gu, which means that there will be no more orchid Gu in the future, and there will never be any more orchid children. ”
"You have given up completely, isn't that your mission? Why? ”
"Actually, it's not a day or two idea, in fact, before I met you, the five of us sisters didn't have any expectations for this task, because the process was too difficult and too harsh. Once you have planted the Orchid Gu, you must fight against the demons in your heart, which in itself is very unfair to those who are chosen, maybe if there is no Orchid Gu, those people may have a more perfect life. Mo Lan's voice trembled slightly, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to. Don't you think Orchid Gu is more like a poison that kills people? ”
"I don't judge whether it's good or bad, isn't that your mission? How can you say give up and give up? ”
Mo Lan smiled, as if laughing at my ignorance and childishness. "Liu Quan, don't be stupid, do you know how many kinds of flowers and plants there are in this world, and how many flowers and plants will disappear and become extinct, this is really normal. Every moment we have a flower that disappears in the world, and a quality that dies in humanity. ”
"Do you have to give up? Maybe there will be someone who is more suitable to be the son of an orchid......"
"But my sister has already reported to the Spring God, and the Spring God has acquiesced to our plan."
"So, will the orchids disappear soon?"
"If it doesn't spread, the orchid will naturally disappear. And the character of the orchid will also be exhausted in the human world, maybe there will never be anyone loyal in the future, no one will be clean again, and some will only grovel for the sake of profit and desire. "Mo Lan suddenly increased the throttle, increased the speed of the car to the highest speed, and shuttled through the winding mountain road like crazy." Liu Quan, you know what? Since Xiao Yin's death, I have rarely returned to the Valley of Love, and I have always been outside to borrow wine to kill my sorrows, can you understand this feeling? We have been working like servants for thousands of years, only to end up with nothing in the end. ”
I felt a feeling of indescribability, I didn't want to see Mo Lan give up on herself, but what did I say, I didn't know what she would feel in her heart, I could only watch her drive quietly until she stopped in a relatively flat place.
"Mo Lan, where will you and your four sisters go?" I didn't know what to ask, and I regretted it.
"They are still living in the Valley of Love, but it should be a day before we leave the world, maybe to Heavenly Court, maybe to other places, but no matter what, the Valley of Love will soon not belong to us." Mo Lan said sadly. "I'm going to take you to the Valley of Determination now, this will be the last time you go to the Valley of Determination in this life, there will be no more Gu magic that will be inflicted on you, you can tell these stories to the people around you, because there are no more secrets, and all this will disappear."
"Mo Lan...... You are so sad, you are a descendant of God, you have a long, long life ahead of you, and there are many beautiful landscapes waiting for you to see. I looked at her melancholy eyes, and I was feeling lost.
"Liu Quan, do you now understand why you say that I might as well be a mortal, although a mortal's life is short, but life is full of ups and downs and full of fun, and what have I done in the past thousands of years? I'm doing something meaningless, and I still don't realize what the joy of the world is. Mo Lan's eyes became wet, and she looked very clear under the reflection of the headlights. The only thing I've ever done is hang out with different men in bars, and that seems to be my only pleasure, and you think a god like me has the capital to spread the quality of orchids, and even I am depraved. ”
I hugged her gently, and I could feel the trembling of her body through her thin red dress, perhaps I could bring her a kind of silent comfort.
"Mo Lan, what can I do for you?"
"You don't have to comfort me for anything, you won't understand my life, when you see the Valley of Love, you can go home and do what you have to do."
"Actually, Mo Lan ......," I said honestly in her eyes and without hurry. In fact, after Xiao Yin's death, I also thought about a lot of things, that is, about the character of orchids, and I think I got some inspiration from Xiao Yin. ”
Mo Lan looked at me helplessly. "Liu Quan, these don't make sense anymore."
"Listen to me, it's meaningful." I suddenly became anxious. "Xiao Yin has been living in a depressive environment for more than twenty years, twenty years is a long journey for a mortal, Xiao Yin also thought about giving up, it is because of Orchid Gu that he has the opportunity to display his talents, so I don't think what you do is a worthless thing. Maybe this is a vicious and absurd witchcraft, but it really helped Xiao Yin. If the sons of orchids in history died because of orchid Gu, then Xiao Yin is a counterexample, so orchid Gu is by no means a poison that kills people, but the good and evil of the user. ”
Now the dawn had already shown its head in the east, and there was silence everywhere, and I could faintly hear the gentle breathing of Meran, who was listening to me quietly, and a god was sitting beside me and listening to me.
"Xiao Yin's twenty years of sinking, has been living in the dark, but has been sticking to his own ideals in his heart, although I don't know what his ideal is, but I know that he has been chasing, maybe he gave up several times halfway, but when the opportunity comes, the seeds planted in childhood will germinate again, I think this is the most real quality of orchids, it is a kind of persistence, adhere to ideals, adhere to beliefs, in short, it is a kind of perseverance that can withstand temptation."
Mo Lan nodded slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"Maybe in the future, you will also find your own ideals with Xiao Yin, for you, maybe thousands of years are just a blink of an eye, and you have a better future." I don't know why, at this moment I can say such inspirational words, maybe Xiao Yin is infecting me, I don't know what Xiao Yin thinks, but his experience will naturally resonate with a person, maybe Xiao Yin in the eyes of others is completely different from me, and the perception brought is completely different. But either way, it's a true reflection of my heart at the moment. "But no matter what, Mo Lan, you can't give up on yourself like this anymore, you are pursuing desires, pursuing all kinds of illusory things."
"So what should I do?"
"I think you should convince your sisters to stay in the Valley of Love, because the quest itself is an uncertain process, and in the future you may or may not find the true Orchid Child. But the important thing is not in the final result, but in the process of this pursuit, the process of you spending thousands of years to find may itself be inheriting the spirit of the orchid, it is said that the orchid is a symbol of the gentleman, and there is no return but to stick to it, this is the work of the gentleman. "When I said this, I somehow felt that I didn't feel like me today.
Mo Lan looked at me with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, and her expression of surprise overflowed on the surface.
"Willow Springs...... Did you just say it from the bottom of your heart? "She pinched my arms and face hard, as if to prove that I really existed." Why do I feel that Xiao Yin has passed on an invisible power......"
