Chapter 52: Epilogue 4
When Yu Xi saw Feng Xuxi for the first time, he felt like he was at home at first sight.
"It turns out that Mr. Feng knows me so well, and he is flattered. Yu Xi smiled, Feng Xuxi treated him like a friend, there was no high-minded attitude, Feng Xuxi was approachable, which also made him full of respect and admiration.
"Two years ago, you stole 60 million worth of antiques from the private collection of local corrupt officials in Luoxia City, and after selling them, you donated the money anonymously to poor areas. Cleopatra's gems were sold to the gang boss, and the money was given to a little girl in the slums, and you were afraid that she was still young and didn't know how to use it, so you helped her put some of the money into the fund for her use in the future, and there was a civil war in the country of Kasha, when you were in the middle of a hail of bullets, you disregarded your safety, and single-handedly rescued the refugees under fire, and was filmed by war correspondents. ”
"Oh my God, you know all this, but it's all a small thing, you don't need to bring it up, hehe. Yu Xi looked at Feng Xuxi in surprise, scratched his head and smirked embarrassedly, plucking his ears and not believing everything he heard, everything about himself was well known to others.
"There are many more touching deeds of your wanderings, some of which are even beyond the scope of a thief's profession, but let me tell you, I have a special person who has the ability to control the brain, and it is easy for me to get information about a person. ”
Feng Xuxi smiled, pointed to his head, and flew confidently.
"Actually, your story is very inspiring to our organization, and your spirit is worth learning from. Feng Xuxi said with special certainty and praised Yu Xi.
Yu Xi smiled embarrassedly, and began to be a little proud, he hadn't heard others praise him for a long time, maybe he was numb, it didn't matter to him anymore.
"Okay, that's too far, it's time to cash in. Yu Xi stuck his waist in his waist, looking like an old man, and rightfully reached out to Feng Xuxi to ask for money.
"I, Feng, speak for granted. Feng Xuxi made a gesture, Long Jiuling took out three boxes, opened them, and saw that they were all white banknotes, and Yu Xi was a little dumbfounded.
Yu Xi gently locked the open box, held the box with both hands, clamped it under his arm without holding it, turned around and left, and Feng Xuxi stopped him.
"You're leaving?" Feng Xuxi called out to Yu Xi.
"Although we are trading this time, I still have a request. Waiting for Yu Xi to turn around and walk halfway, suddenly Feng Xuxi said his intention and stopped him.
"yes, tell me. Yu Xi turned around and looked at Feng Xuxi with a smile, and the box in his hand was gently placed on the ground.
"I've done so much not only for the Book of the Dead, but also for another purpose, which is to want you to stay and join the 'Dividers'.
Feng Xuxi was very serious, raised his hand and patted his chest, his eyes were very resolute, very sincere, without the slightest consideration, especially sincere.
Yu Xi smiled indifferently after hearing this, coughed a few times, and rejected Feng Xuxi.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to being free, * is my home, wandering the world, advocating justice, and pursuing hope is my goal in life. ”
"Do you know what we 'Dividers' have survived on until now, that is, we have a group of different people, and the beliefs and long-cherished wishes in our hearts, we are not evil, we just want to make the Suizeng nation live a better and more hopeful life, we really need people like you to help us complete the cause of reunification and establish a new Suizeng country. ”
Feng Xuxi's kind invitation did make him a little moved, but he didn't have this idea yet.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to you, I'm just the spark that is better at groping in the dark, and wandering the world is my real life. ”
After he finished speaking, he left, he was very slow when he left, and walked out of the door slowly with the box, and finally, Feng Xuxi also said: "I hope you think twice, you can stay here first." ”
I saw Yu Xi stop for a few seconds and leave without looking back. When Yu Xi arrived for the first time, he was not accustomed to the hospitality of Xirong Prefecture, and he insisted on leaving and living a free life.
One night, Yu Xi sat alone on the watchtower of the defensive wall, the busy people here have long since ended, very quiet, only the messy building, the cold wind blowing extremely freezing, the dense starry night sky makes people feel a kind of melancholy welling up in their hearts, feeling that they are pressed by the heavy and dull heart stone.
Yu Xi grabbed the night suit in one hand and the exorcism mask in the other, he longed for the feeling of being a thief back then, thinking of the warmth and coldness of the world and the impermanence of the world he had seen, he also considered what Feng Xuxi had said, and he was also hypnotizing himself deep in his heart, the "Divider" was the world he longed for in his heart, and it was a bonfire that rekindled the light of hope.
But since the demon invaded the material world, he felt that his own strength was even more powerless, he found that his strength alone was too weak, the world was too heavy, and began to reflect on the true meaning of being a thief, he was a little skeptical about whether his path was right or not, and he also considered the "Divider", maybe he could fulfill his long-cherished wish for him.
"Hey, what are you sitting on it for?"
Yu Xi suddenly heard someone calling him, he immediately put down his night clothes and mask, twisted his head and looked around, and after looking for a long time, he saw that there was a person under the lookout now, it was Long Shuangshuang.
"It's you, why don't you sleep so late?" Yu Xi glanced at it, asked Long Shuangshuang casually, and greeted her with a gesture, shrugging his brows, and gently patting the seat of the observatory with his other hand.
"I'm used to being scared, and I'm not used to being so quiet all of a sudden. ”
"Just because of this insomnia?" Long Shuangshuang climbed onto the lookout and sat next to Yu Xi, he couldn't guess what she was thinking, just continued to look at the scenery.
"Perhaps. Long Shuangshuang knew very well the reason for his insomnia, and felt the night scene of Xirong with Yu Xi.
The two get along in harmony, unlike the previous happy enemies, the eyes of each other are much softer, and the speech is also very speculative, not just a simple poor mouth, but open their hearts and understand each other.
"I miss the days of being a 'thief' again, how beautiful it is to be free in this troubled world, how beautiful it is to be chivalrous and righteous, with a mask, I feel like I have shouldered a responsibility, like a savior to rescue those who are embarrassed, but after a lot of things, plus this demon invasion, it makes me think about a lot of things, sometimes, to change the world, a person's power is still too thin, I can't save everyone in the war, in the persecution or in the struggle, I can't save this chaotic and dirty world. ”
Yu Xi raised his mask high and covered half of the night sky, he looked at his mask and night suit with a lost look, and after a while, he suddenly began to sigh.
"The world has never been perfect, what we can do is to make the world close to perfection, if we want to get close to perfection, we have to change, sometimes a person can not change the world, unity, in order to set off a huge wave. Long Shuangshuang said solemnly, pointing at the vista solemnly, holding his chin and revealing his cheekbones.
"So you came to be a lobbyist, this is not like what you said, who taught you? Mr. Feng?"
Long Shuangshuang was dumbfounded for a moment, avoided his gaze, spoke in a stumbling voice, always prolonged, and couldn't say such good eloquence just now after talking for a long time.
"What, I don't have the heart to be a lobbyist, it's all my own perception, from the bottom of my heart, who taught me, just kidding. ”
She saw that Yu Seok had been smiling at him all the time, and immediately changed the subject
"How can a righteous man think of being a thief? ”
"For me, thieves are just a profession, and I don't care about the world, mainly depending on whether what you do makes sense. ”
The two have been sitting on the lookout for a whole night, Long Shuangshuang leaned on one of the brackets to build the lookout, Changzhu, fell asleep, probably dozing off after listening to Yu Xi's not very interesting story, only Yu Xi looked up at the city of Runzhi at night.
On the second day, all the residents and ethnic minorities who stayed in the defense circle had to perform singing, dancing, cheering, worshipping the gods and other customs and ceremonies for the reconstruction after the disaster.
After Feng Xuxi got the Book of the Dead, he held it with both hands and carefully stroked the Book of the Dead, he was very surprised but overjoyed, his eyes were open and he couldn't close it for a long time, he had been looking at this precious treasure, the coveted look couldn't be waved away for a long time, and his heart was extremely excited.
"I've finally got the Book of the Dead, it's a good treasure. Feng Xuxi got closer and closer to the treasure, pondering these words that no one knew but were full of spirituality, and his mouth was still muttering to himself, as if he had read the mystery of these words.
However, there were also Long Jiuling, Yuan Hong, Shen Tu Zheng and Gu Shooting Five Tiger Generals who were discussing together, and then Tuoba Luo Hao was also ordered to come over.
"This is the fruit of the victories we have worked so hard to achieve. Long Jiuling looked at the Book of the Dead with relief, as if he had seen his newborn baby.
"What kind of magical power does this thing have?" Tuoba Luo Hao said suspiciously, scratching his scalp, and after scratching his scalp, he stuck his waist.
"It's a sacred thing that can change the world. Feng Xuxi watched the Book of the Dead intently, and he didn't have time to look at the others, what a longing he had in his heart.
The five tiger generals also spoke, and Murong and Ji Zhipian looked at Feng Xuxi very respectfully, as if they had something to say to him.
"Mr. Feng, the war has ended, and the people are almost settled, should they keep their promise?" Ji Zhipian spoke very politely, urging Feng Xuxi euphemistically, looking at him with a suggestive expression.
At this time, Feng Xuxi stopped what he was doing, and suddenly showed a forbearant smile, he knew that it was time to fulfill his promise, after all, he swore to cooperate with Gu Sheshan at that time, and each other set off for the benefit of the material world, a paper alliance
When the others heard this, they would inevitably have some emotions, Zifei was also helpless, sighing, while Long Jiuling and Tuoba Luo Hao stared at the five tiger generals, and they didn't squeak, they could only endure silently, if the matter was not so tricky and did not involve an agreement, Tuoba Luo Hao's violent temper was estimated to drive the other party away with a dead face and take the things for himself.
Feng Xuxi is like signing an unequal treaty to cede land and pay compensation, he can't bear to cut his love, and the things that his own people have worked so hard to get will be handed over to others, and it is difficult to give up, but for the sake of the "separatist" and for the sake of mankind, he can only sign this paper alliance, and this day will come sooner or later.
"If it weren't for the help of the brothers in Gusha Mountain this time, it would be difficult for us to save it here, and we will hand it over to you as scheduled. Feng Xuxi nodded, and also behaved very sincerely, without the slightest procrastination, he was calm and calm, which also made Ji Zhipian appreciate Feng Xuxi's straightforward and fast-talking personality even more.
"Wait a minute, the Book of the Dead, you can keep it, our sect just wants to test what kind of organization the 'Divider' is, this time, we have seen the shining point of the 'Divider', you are very credible, human, and affectionate, you exchanged your life for this Book of the Dead, if we take it for ourselves, wouldn't it be too unkind. Instead of accepting the Book of the Dead, he took a step back and bowed deeply to everyone.
"After a while, we will leave Runzhicheng and return to Gushu Mountain, everyone, there will be a period later. The five tigers nodded to them and left, and the others looked at them with smiles and shook hands with each other, which was also a farewell to friendship in the common adversity.
In order to find the answer, Feng Xuxi studied the Book of the Dead by himself, turning page after page, translating the words of each page, and interpreting them word by word, studying day and night, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.
Time passed quickly, he only interpreted one-third of the content of the Book of the Dead, and after many times of hot-headed torture, he even entered a state of madness, so how important the Book of the Dead was to Feng Xuxi.
The mages of Gushu Mountain packed their luggage, some carried the remains of their deceased fellow disciples, and wanted to leave Runzhi City, and many people in the defense circle rushed to see off the mage, it was this war that made the people know the so-called mage group, the mage group rarely appears in the general public, and they don't know much about it, through this war, and the mage will be recognized by the public.
Shen Tu Zheng looked at the people behind him, also looked at the blue sky of Runzhi City, and finally looked at the standing defensive wall, he was still a little reluctant, full of emotion, suddenly he saw Zifei, Zifei also looked at him.
They didn't speak, but they both smiled, nodded to each other, and understood that Zifei and Shen Tuzheng had formed a friendship and trusted each other.
Long Jiuling took back the Book of the Dead and walked in front of Ji Zhipian, who took it and nodded to them.
He whispered, "Goodbye, friend, you are immortal warriors, you are true heroes." ”
Long Jiuling replied: "It is worth it to form this fate and realize the mage, and I would like to express my gratitude and tribute to you on behalf of Mr. Feng." ”
After a moment they departed, leaving the land of Xirong and returning to Gushu Mountain.
However, this scene made Yu Xi, who was sitting on the rooftop of the top floor, look at him, he was blowing the breeze, feeling the pure and thin plateau atmosphere, and the dense people below were like ants, he saw the departure of the mage, the dissolution of the crowd, the hard work of the people, the unity and mutual assistance of the people, laughter, giving people a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere, he looked at the hanging golden immortal bird red flag, fluttering in the wind, he had a different view of the "separatist" and the mage.
