CHAPTER XIX
Ziwei looked at me deeply and nodded, and his thoughts did not dissipate at all. Neither of us was still, the rune paper didn't write any more, I drank the glass of water, and the taste buds on the tip of my tongue were wrapped in a faint sweet fragrance.
Liu Ruo's whereabouts have not been decided, and the expressed intention is to travel and live with fate, but that night, when everyone was about to rest, Zi Wei heard a knock on the door, opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, and when he turned around, Cangyu was already standing in front of Liu Ruo, much calmer than when he met again at the beginning of the day, looked at him and asked: "Have a fight with me, is it so difficult for you?" β
Liu Ruoxu had already noticed his aura, and he was not surprised when he came to the door, and said: "What makes me embarrassed is not to fight with you once, but as long as I agree once, you will definitely have a second time, a third time, until you win me." β
"Then you're afraid of losing to me?" Cangyu explained.
Liu Ruo was helpless, "I don't want to fight with you at all, I have more important things to do than such a boring fight." β
"You won't get old, you won't die, you have time to squander, what's more important that you can't put it down?"
Liu Ruoyi was silent, "I have time, but there are other people around me who can't afford to wait." β
"Hmph, don't you feel bored when you know that those people have a limited lifespan, and watching them die in front of you?"
"I only hope that in these days when I can still be with them, I can cherish every minute and every second that I can hold, instead of wasting in a dispute with you."
"This is the so-called 'meaning' you found when you left Chongbei?"
Liu Ruo lowered his eyes and said: "If there is no end in sight in this life, I would rather experience a few more emotions and live a few different lives, it will hurt to lose, but those pains make people sober and can also keep people human." β
Cangyu sneered, "You're not human, a stinky water snake, what are you pretending to be deep." β
Liu Ruo was speechless, sat down as if no one was around, and asked him in a slow tone: "Be friends with me, are you so reluctant?" β
"I'm not reluctant." Liu Ruo's voice quieted down and said: "I understand your thoughts, but I don't want to be like you, because I am afraid of loneliness and separation, I close myself off, stay in my comfort zone forever, and use a wrong way to cause trouble. β
"Hmph, who do you say is afraid? What am I afraid of? Cangyu was ruthless again, and said: "I just disdain to be in the company of them, I have no shortage of friends at all, how to talk about loneliness, only an idiot like you would want to mingle with those low, short-lived fellows." β
Liu Ruo took a deep breath, "So we're not the same kind, you still don't want to be friends with idiots like me." β
"Fuck youβLiu Ruo!" Cangyu stretched out his hand and grabbed him again, opened his teeth and claws, and said, "You guy even has a cracked Neidan, where are you going to run?" You stinky water snake, do you really think we won't die? β
"It's none of your business." Liu Ruo grabbed his wrist, pulled it twice, and scolded: "Let go!" β
"Why should I listen to you, rather than let you, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, run out and die at the hands of those inferior people outside, it is better for me to kill you with my own hands."
"Dead mouse, you give it to meβlet go!"
When Liu Ruo stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, he shook it suddenly, and a burst of hookah turned around him, wrapping the two people in it, and he couldn't see his body clearly.
Cangyu waved his hands wildly, and before his vision could become clear again, Liu Ruo had already grabbed his neck from behind.
When Tang Jiao saw this, his eyes popped out, "Hey, don't be serious!" It's all a family, what is this for? β
"Who the fuck is family with this bastard." Cangyu was strangled by him, and finally calmed down a little, and said: "If you want to do it, hurry up, I admit that my skills are not as good as others, but as long as I can still move, don't think about leaving me alone like Chongbei back then." β
Liu Ruo was in a stalemate with him, but he still compromised, let him go, and said, "What do you want?" β
Cangyu snorted, saw him like this, stopped messing with him, covered his sleeves and said calmly: "Divination, prediction." Liu Ruo, you know the ability I have cultivated, if I conclude today that you have no immortal fate, you will have a catastrophe, can you trust me? β
Liu Ruo was stunned, and Cangyu said: "I stopped it like this for the sake of our old acquaintances after all, you don't know what to do, go and jump into the fire pit by yourself." β
"Master Cang, do you mean that as long as Brother Liu Ruo leaves Fengxian Pavilion, he will encounter a disaster?" Tang Kari asked.
Cangyu said: "I can't tell you too specific things, but Liu Ruoyou, before the snakeskin sheds again, I am afraid that I will worry about my life." β
He looked at Shang Liuruo's clear eyes, his expression moved slightly, and said, "You will die from that ridiculous emotion in your heart." β
As soon as the words came out, there was silence all around.
After a while, Liu Ruo's face broke the ice, but he smiled, sat down and said, "Your half-hung spell is not as good as mine, how can you have such confidence in predicting my future?" β
"You guy don't want to be arrogant, you haven't even touched a little incense in the years since you left, don't you know how weak your current cultivation is? Why can't I count you? β
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Tang Jiao hurriedly reconciled again, and said with a smile: "Master Cang, you can also calculate your ability for me, I have been begging for a long time." β
Cangyu was changed the topic by him, and he snorted coldly, sat on the high stool on the other side, crossed his legs and lifted his sleeves and said: "I told you a long time ago that you will die, but you don't believe in it, what do you rely on me?" β
"That's too ...... Of course I'm a mortal and I'm going to die. β
"No, I'm not talking about dying, I'm dying unexpectedly." Cangyu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked at him with flirtatious eyes, "You will die of your own greed." β
"And you." The tea cup knocked lightly on the table, and Cangyu turned his finger and pointed at Ziwei, "You will die of your own obsession." β
Ziwei was stunned, turned his head to look at me, I didn't say anything, and saw that Cangyu looked at Jiang Xun in the most marginal corner again, "As for you-"
He hid one hand in his sleeve, didn't make the next move for a long time, dragged it down, showed a sarcastic smile, and said: "There is no past, no future, I just want to ask you, have you ever lived?" β
"Why don't you want to ask yourself before you ask me?" Jiang Xun also smiled and said, "Is your cultivation really higher than mine?" β
Kurayu didn't get angry this time, didn't refute, just squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time, and said inexplicably: "What are you?" β
"It seems that your cultivation has not yet arrived." Jiang Xun glanced at him and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. β
"Master Cang, you can't see through him, what about our shopkeeper Shen?" Tang Jiao turned the topic to me, I didn't want to hear him talk about my future at all, and he had the same expression as me on the other side, and said, "I don't want to count her." β
"Why?"
"It's too much effort." Cangyu paused and said, "There are too many possibilities in her. β
I was surprised by this answer and continued, "Do I have a chance of surviving the possibilities you mentioned?" β
Cangyu didn't answer directly, his eyes wandered between me and Jiang Xun several times, before he hid both hands in his cuffs, stood up, and said: "The lives of the two of you are connected, if he can find what he has been looking for, you will die, but if he can let go, you can live." β
"And what are the chances that he will let go?" I looked at Jiang Xun and saw that his expression was a little sluggish.
Cangyu shook his head and said, "He won't let it go." β
I lowered my eyes and raised the corners of my mouth, "So, I'm going to die?" β
"Nope." Cangyu said: "I said, there are infinite possibilities in you, and I can't measure them. β
He leaned closer and said, "In other words, your life is not your own, but your future is in your own hands." β
"Warehouse surplus." Liu Ruo interrupted him and said, "You have too many words. β
"Oh, really?" Cangyu immediately looked at him, "I almost forgot about you if you didn't speak, Stinky Water Snake, you must come with me today, and after you have passed the life and death tribulation, talk to me about the meaning of bullshit." β
Liu Ruo didn't quarrel with him, but just took a few steps forward and said, "Let's go out and talk." β
Cang Yu followed closely behind him, and after the two left, Tang Jiao showed his head and asked quietly, "Do you think what Cang Ye just said is true?" β
No one answered him, I went back to the room, stood in front of the master's spiritual seat for a long time, put on a stick of incense, watched it burn halfway, went to the bathroom and bowed to cold water to wash my face, erasing the trance that Jiang Xun had just stayed in my mind. If the fate has been determined and cannot be changed, then all the sorrows and worries are useless, if there are really countless undetermined possibilities, we can only do the same, do our best, obey the destiny of heaven, and there is no other way.
Liu Ruo and Cangyu did not return overnight, and when he saw Cangyu again the next day, he was already full of light, and told us in high spirits that Liu Ruo had promised to stay, and before the catastrophe, he would stay in Fengxian Pavilion to practice with peace of mind, and protect Fengxian Pavilion from the invasion of gangsters.
Tang Ka was very surprised by this result, and immediately ran to prepare for him to prepare the things for the ceremony of inviting the gods, which was lively here, but Liu Ruo did not appear until the ceremony began, and there was a faint look of obscurity throughout the process.
At the end of the matter here, I was still thinking about the fact that I had not prepared a magic weapon for Zi, but there were no suitable materials in Chengshui City, and there was no place for refining, so we only prepared some talismans and basic things, so we packed our bags and prepared to set off for Dongchuan.
Tang Jiao asked Pan Miao to take care of his mother and the immortals in the cabinet, and the luggage he left was full of food. We made an appointment to meet at the station on the eve of the 12th, and Liu Ruo looked for me once before leaving, and didn't say anything, just asked us to take care and be careful all the way.
