Chapter 81: What is the cause and what is the effect?
Obviously, Ji Qing's sudden cat meow made my heart tighten.
To make matters worse, he apparently could no longer control his body in the water and began to curl up in a cat-like appearance.
It was originally in the water, and it was not convenient for me to swim out of the water with him like this, not to mention escaping from the gray-eyed man's tracking, and the two of them would sink together.
I don't know what to do? Maybe in such an environment, I shouldn't have saved people at all, and others may not understand my behavior.
But I can never forget that Master once said a lesson of the Master, if it is put in layman's terms, that is, a person, he must first be himself, in order to be himself in the eyes of others, no matter what the road ahead, what he is carrying, and what thousands of huge reasons he has, it is not a reason for himself to go against himself.
This is a kind of true chic, true temperament, and truly go naturally with the heart.
Chen Chengyi is not a hero who competes for hegemony in the world, Chen Chengyi does not need to be a hero in the eyes of others, Chen Chengyi is not the protagonist in the novel who wants to keep getting stronger, calm and rational and never suffers, Chen Chengyi, many times is just an ordinary person who insists on himself.
The answer is yes.
If I don't save Ji Qing today, and watch him die, I will really be ashamed of what my master told me, in the world, I must always adhere to a little truth and goodness in my heart, and on this basis, I will talk about whether I am a frank gentleman in my behavior.
Therefore, when Ji Qing became like this, I still had my own insistence, and it was like an explosion, forcibly holding Ji Qing's chest with my arm, forcing him not to struggle, and then dragging him to swim forward without stopping, and the speed was a few points faster.
That's the power of perseverance.
The water splashed on my face, and the opposite river bank was getting closer and closer because I discovered the fact that most of those gray-eyed people went to chase after a few other escaped cultivators, although I was also unwilling to be in the water, and yelled several times to get down, but I didn't know what I was afraid of, I never went into the water, as long as I swam to the opposite riverbank, it should be safe.
At the same time, at this time, Ji Qing also became quieter.
Could it be that this is the way to the end?
But things are far from being so simple, just like this After about a minute, when I was still dozens of meters away from the opposite riverbank, Ji Qing, who was already quiet, suddenly struggled with great excitement, I thought he was having a seizure again, the symptoms just now just reminded me of the cat spirit who used to be in Heiyan Miao Village, but what I didn't expect was that his struggle this time was not a twitch-like struggle at all, but a very normal person struggling.
I quickly sensed the difference, and I couldn't help but turn my head and yell, "If you don't want to die, don't move." ”
But inevitably at the same time, I noticed that Ji Qing's eyes, which were originally rolling his eyes, suddenly turned back to normal, and even his eyes were unprecedentedly clear.
At this point, one of us is swimming forward facing the opposite shore, while the other is holding my chest and facing away from me
"Chen Chengyi, I don't want to die, I still have a lot of things to do." Ji Qing spoke in such a situation.
I didn't have the strength to talk to him, even if I didn't understand what he meant by saying it all of a sudden.
"Chen Chengyi, in fact, I know myself better than anyone else, I am not proud at all, I am very inferior! Because, since I was a child, many people around me laughed at me, isn't there a need for a master to be accepted as a disciple? It turned out to be ugly words such as his own shameless fantasy" I don't know why Ji Qing became extremely sober at this time, and even the logic of his speech became extremely clear, and he actually began to recall the past at such a critical time.
Although the current form is not very good at all, I listened to his words inexplicably and was touched in my heart, and I didn't know that once upon a time, I had such a thought, and my master planted the cause to be returned to me, a disciple.
I don't know if Ji Qing grew up with such a past, and because of this past, he became too self-protective, so that kind of inferiority has become a manifestation of extreme pride on the surface.
Everyone has an obsession, and obsession is a kind of thing that often goes against reason, just like me, Chen Chengyi's obsession is that he must find the master, and the master's obsession is to follow the footsteps of the master, even if there is little hope, even if he looks at us as if he is doing something stupid, just like Ji Qing, his obsession is me, this shadow that has been pressing on his head, he is willing not to even want his life to prove it.
I'd love to say that I understand him very well.
But before I could say it, Ji Qing had already said to himself: "But, Chen Chengyi, no matter how inferior I am, how my pride is disguised. Do you know that in this world, the last thing I want to owe is your favor! Because, you are a shadow that I have always wanted to transcend, and my childhood memories have also grown up with you, a person I have never met, do you know how heavy it has been for so many years? ”
What do you mean? I couldn't help but glance at Ji Qing.
However, Ji Qing suddenly looked at me and smiled very frankly, I didn't have much intersection with him, so I had never seen him smile like this, and I couldn't guess if he had such a smile before, I was even a little in a daze at that moment, I couldn't understand why Ji Qing smiled like this, on such a misty river, he smiled like a ray of sunshine suddenly shining on him.
"Chen Chengyi, I'll give you back the favor now" After saying this, Ji Qing suddenly seemed to explode, the strength of his hands became unusually large, and in a sudden sudden, he shook off my hand that was holding his chest, and before I could react, he turned around and pushed me again.
Originally, I was going forward, and I was pushed forward like this, and I couldn't help but move forward several meters.
Then, I heard a loud sound of breaking water, reflecting such a picture in my pupils, Ji Qing, who was involuntarily paddling backwards due to the reaction force, still had such a frank smile on his face, among the broken splashes, a huge head, more huge and hideous than the ship monster just now, like a head like a snake and a dinosaur combined, it has opened its huge mouth at this moment, and in such a blue skylight, the teeth in that mouth look hideous but extremely sharp
Ji Qing's entire body seemed so small compared to it, but at that moment, it was infinitely enlarged in my pupils
His smile disappeared, his eyes began to roll again, he seemed to have convulsions again, but I still heard him say to me: "Give you back the favor, don't look back if you are a gentleman"
Don't look back? Don't look back! My face was covered with the splash of the river, so I didn't know what that hot thing was, and at that moment, it was like all the blood was flowing backwards, and my heart burst open! I turned my head violently and began to swim desperately like venting, where do I dare to turn back, I can't turn back at all, if I turn back, it will be a complete disappointment, a real disappointment
I never knew I could do this, howling and crying in pain while swimming desperately in the water?
What is the cause, what is the effect, at this moment I suddenly became extremely confused, the cause of the Master's disappointment, let me bear the fruit of saving him, the fruit of saving him, and it became another cause, and he gave me back a fruit that had a chance to live, so what is the next cause and effect entanglement?
He is still a stranger to me, I have never been like this for strangers, and I have never thought that a thought has become such an ending, is this a good reward? Perhaps, good retribution is sometimes bitter, and it can only be said that you can't give up what you insist on, which is all the reasons.
Behind him became quiet, what happened to that huge monster and Ji Qing, I didn't dare to look at it at all as if it had never appeared, and the sound of that monster became completely gone.
I was already close to the riverbank, my body was afraid of the shallow water, I was so embarrassed that my body was wet, and my limbs were uncoordinated to climb to the shore, crying as I crawled, I didn't know what I should be thinking at this moment? Maybe it's because he really doesn't want to owe me a favor, so it would be better?
This is the reason why people occasionally do things irrationally, not absolutely, and not at all for others to understand, but what is really lovely about people? That Ji Qing, that open smile.
I climbed into the middle of the forest, clutched a tree in front of me, and let my tears mix with the dirt, crying very loudly.
Without noticing, a man walked out of the jungle, stood ten meters away from me, and then quietly looked at me, watched
