Chapter 24: Sorrow and Helplessness
The night was bleak.
Summer looked at the moon hanging high and looked like this, and did not speak for a long time.
"You're going to stay in my house tonight. Jian Hou walked over and said to Xia, "You injured Li Hou's eldest son, they won't give up." ”
Summer looked at Jian Hou and nodded, but still didn't speak.
Jian Hou sighed and said, "There are some things you can't change, just let it go with the wind, why blame yourself?"
"Jian Hou, I want to ask you a question. Summer said slowly.
"What?"
"What would you do if you were a sword?"
Jian Hou was silent for a long time before he said: "If I were you, I would forbear, and when I became strong in the future, I would come back and let out a bad breath." ”
"Cultivating the Dao, if you are just unable to return to the queen of heaven and come back to vent your evil spirit, then what is the point of cultivating this path? What has been lost has long been lost, and how can you find it back. ”
Summer paused for a moment and continued, "If my Tao is like this, then I don't practice. ”
"And what do you want?" asked Jian Hou, "what can you do in the face of things that you can't change?"
Summer is silent.
Jian Hou sighed and said, "Summer, you are too young, some things are not as simple as you think, and they can't be solved by a single passion. ”
Summer is still silent.
Jian Hou paused and said, "Summer, I'll tell you now what helplessness and sorrow are. ”
"Just like me, the desert island disaster is coming, but only 30 of the more than 300 people in my Sword Waiting Mansion can leave the desert island, I am also sad and blame myself, but what can I do?"
This is helplessness, in the face of helplessness, you can only passively accept it, this is sadness. ”
"It is impossible for a person's life to be smooth, and in the face of things that cannot be changed, either give up or make trade-offs, this is something that everyone will experience and is inevitable. ”
Jian Hou looked at Xia and said seriously: "Summer, I still say the same thing, what can you do in the face of things you can't change?"
"Your future road will be very broad, maybe you will become very strong in the future, maybe even stronger than everyone else, but that is only the future, and now you are too weak, you must learn to make trade-offs, learn to forbear,-- learn to retreat in the face of difficulties......"
"Think about it, you're a smart guy, you'll figure it out. ”
Jian Hou looked at Summer, sighed again, and the figure gradually walked away.
The night was bleak, and there was a cold wind blowing in his face, and Summer shook his fist and looked in the direction of the palace.
There, the lights are brilliant, but it is like a beast that chooses people to devour, making people feel disgusted and disgusted, and they want to kick its head to pieces......
In the early morning, the sun poured down, illuminating the figure of the boy who was still standing in the courtyard.
Gladiolus walked over from a distance and blinked.
"This guy...... After standing in the yard all night, I really have a lot of energy......"
Jian Hou also walked over and sighed: "He just hasn't figured out some things yet, it'll be fine after a while, he's a smart person, and he'll figure it out sooner or later." ”
As he spoke, he said to Jian Lan again: "Lan'er, you go and prepare, wait for me to enter the palace, and the banquet in the palace will begin." ”
"What about him?" asked Jian Lan, pointing to Summer.
He ...... Or don't go. Jian Hou paused and said, "He has a sense of injustice in his heart now, and I'm worried that he will cause some kind of trouble......
"Jian Hou, is the banquet in the palace about to start?"
Summer came suddenly, and I didn't sleep all night, but I looked full of energy.
"You ......" Jian Hou looked at Summer, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You figured it out?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Summer's mouth, and the light of the stars seemed to be shining in her eyes.
"yes, I figured it out. ”
......
On the streets of Thang Long City, horse-drawn carriages drove towards the Imperial Palace.
The pedestrians consciously retreated to both sides, and even the vendors, who usually got up early to set up their stalls, disappeared today, just to make way for the advancing carriages.
The palace banquet that everyone was looking forward to is finally about to begin.
The walls of the palace are as if they were made of gold and iron, and the tall walls resemble a sky wall, shining in the sunlight.
In front of the palace, one carriage after another was parked side by side, each more luxurious than the other, and each more luxurious than the other.
Summer followed behind Jian Hou, looking up at the tall and shining wall, only to feel that it seemed to exude a coercion, as if it were a mountain, pressing on his shoulders, pressing him with difficulty.
However, I have to carry this mountain today no matter what......
"Huh, Jianhou, long time no see!"
There was a cry behind him, and Jian Hou looked back and saw a young man walking slowly.
Jian Hou smiled at the young man and said, "Young Master Lin, don't come unharmed. ”
The young man who came over was named Lin Yu, and because of his father's early death, he became the youngest prince in the entire famous dynasty.
But no one has ever underestimated Lin Yu, although his strength is not as good as that of the real princes, it is far better than those children of the family.
On this deserted island with no aura, most of the children of the family are still staying in the sea realm.
After the opening of the sea, it is the expansion of the territory, and among the young people on the entire desert island, Lin Yu is definitely one of the few strong people who have stepped into the expansion of the territory.
Lin Yu smiled modestly, looked behind Jian Hou, and said, "Jian Hou is taking Lan'er to the feast, right?
Lin Yu glanced at Xia, then retracted his gaze, and smiled at Jian Hou: "Jian Hou, this is your fault, they all said that they can only bring one person to go, why do Jian Hou have to bring one more servant? ”
Obviously, looking at Xia Xia's plain clothes and following behind Jian Hou, Lin Yu naturally thought that Xia was just a servant.
Jian Hou frowned and said, "Lin Gongzi misunderstood, this little brother next to me is the princess's life-saving benefactor, and he was personally invited by the princess." ”
"The princess's savior?" Lin Yu turned his gaze to Xia again, and said suspiciously, "Is that the country boy who told the famous king that the princess is in the Yuwang Mansion?"
Jian Hou nodded and said, "Exactly, this palace banquet is also the princess's birthday, and the princess will naturally invite his savior to come." ”
"Heh, can this also be regarded as a life-saving benefactor?" Lin Yu sneered, "It's just a tip-off, that's what this kind of civilian should do." ”
The princess is too simple, she actually regards this as a life-saving grace, and personally invites this kind of person to participate in the feast, but she is afraid that she will lose her identity as a princess. ”
Jian Hou's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said coldly: "Young Master Lin, what you said is too much!"
"Jian Hou can even speak for a pariah, which is really puzzling for the little brother. ”
Lin Yu looked at Summer, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"Just because he, a pariah, deserves to participate in the feast of the palace? He doesn't want to think about the big names who participated in the feast, and he doesn't want to think about what his identity is, and he still has the face to step into the gate of the palace, and wants to rely on the princess to ascend to the sky in one step? It's really delusional, ridiculous!"
After speaking, Lin Yu sneered again and walked away.
From beginning to end, Xia Xia remained silent, without a trace of expression on her face, as if she didn't care about what Lin Yu said.
Jian Ran looked at Xia, blinked her eyes, and thought to herself, this guy is really bearable, he can be insulted like this without saying a word......
However, it seems that he can only do this, Jian Lan thought in his heart, after all, even if he can't help it, he has nothing to do, maybe this is his helplessness and sorrow......
Jian Hou had been observing Summer, and only then did he relax when he looked at Summer's calm face.
"This kid has finally learned to forbear......"
Thinking like this, Jian Hou finally didn't worry about causing any trouble at the banquet in the summer.
"Jian Hou, who was that person just now?"
Summer suddenly asked with a smile, startling Jian Hou.
Jian Hou looked at Xia with a smile on his face, and was hesitating to tell him when Jian Lan suddenly spoke: "That person, his name is Lin Yu, and he is the youngest prince, and it seems that he has stepped into the territory of expanding the territory, and he is very powerful to hear from others." ”
"Oh, it's called Lin Yu, it looks pretty powerful. Summer still had a smile on his face, and said to Jian Hou, "Let's go, Jian Hou, isn't the feast in the palace about to begin?"
With that, Summer strode forward.
Jian Hou stood in place, looking at Summer's back, his face became cloudy.
"Is it a delusion? Why did he just smile in his smile, and why did I feel terrified......
Jian Hou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
"I hope ...... It's just an illusion. ”
