Chapter 241: The Road to the Strong
Mengyu didn't know how to explain to Gu Xingchen that what had happened was only the sublimation and reinvention of the soul, and everything was so magical that it was not so real.
"I ...... I don't know exactly what happened, the only thing I can confirm is that there is another soul sleeping in my body. Dream Fish said vaguely, "Just like Xing'er's sword, the sleeping soul in the sword can even give you the power to resist the legendary heroes, these are not things that we can explain clearly now." ”
"Well, I can understand. Gu Xingchen nodded. Dream Fish's spiritual sea may be as complicated as him, and he can't say how Xuanyuan's angry soul burst out with such earth-shattering power, but fortunately, Xiong Ruier has fled, and Dream Fish has miraculously been reborn in a full state. Although it is still confusing, this situation can be regarded as a happy one.
"Xing'er...... I really...... I'm glad to see you again alive......" The desolation and despair that had been suppressed for a long time swirled back and forth in the heart of Mengyu, and in the end it still poured out. She clinged to Gu Xingchen's body one by one, holding on firmly, touching every inch of his skin back and forth, greedy and enjoying.
Caressing Mengyu's long hair, a smile bloomed on Gu Xingchen's face: "Mengyu, don't be afraid, I've always been here." ”
"Hmm......" Mengyu nodded, smiled knowingly, and then remembered another extremely rude thing, she patronized and made love to Gu Xingchen, and actually left their life-saving benefactor aside.
Mengyu hurriedly let go of the hand that was touching Gu Xingchen, smiled and bowed deeply to Lu Yusen, who was expressionless on the side: "Thank you so much for saving your life, hero." ”
"Whew...... It's great to be alive. Lu Yusen looked at Mengyu and Gu Xingchen with relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. He did a good job of the task assigned by the eldest brother Guo Xing, so that although he couldn't visit the old background of the Kate blacksmith, at least he could live up to his mission.
At this moment, Gu Xingchen stared at Lu Yusen, but secretly clenched his fists. He was thinking, if it wasn't for Lu Yusen's action, how could he be so easy to face Xiong Ruier alone? Think about how helpless he was in the time before Lu Yusen appeared?
Strength, what I want is strength! At least the strength to be able to control one's own destiny! Because, not every time you can survive so lucky, this time it happened that Lu Yusen came to the rescue, so what about next time? In the end, the only thing that can be relied on is your own real combat strength! You can't rely on others to save you every time you fight, and if you can't win, right?
In this way, Gu Xingchen was silent for a long time, and Mengyu kept hinting, hoping that she would follow her in the future. But this time, Gu Xingchen is really determined!
In the adventures of the human world, relying on the assistance of Sutron and Xia Yanfeng and others, Gu Xingchen was extremely reluctant to survive the difficulties again and again, with the encouragement of the dream fish who was still a mortal at that time and his desperate rush into the sea of fire to help him, he won Sun Chao with difficulty, in fact, he is nothing!
In the battle of the Valley of Despair, Gu Xingchen was timid and improperly commanded, so that the headquarters were completely wiped out, and he relied on the play of Luxi and Qiao Lanlan to defeat the opponent, and in the legendary hero battle of the Senkula Mountains, he didn't even have a chance to intervene. Isn't all this because of the strength there?
It's decided! I can't be so mixed up anymore! If I want to become a strong man, I must first learn to face danger alone, defeat a strong enemy by myself, and do the things of several people by myself! Yes, that's it, we must abandon the inertia of dependence, and we must learn to fight independently! The most important thing is that only by confronting opponents who are stronger than ourselves can we better sharpen ourselves, so he can't be limited to killing wild monsters, and he can't lie on the hotbed of bullying the weak for a long time to show off himself! He wants to go to those places surrounded by powerful enemies alone, to live a precarious life, and try to defeat those warriors and heroes who are stronger than himself!
Gu Xingchen has set his will to die, and the place he wants to go alone is the ——— Demon Realm in the far north!
Gu Xingchen is rarely so calm, he is burdened with a heavy bag of soul, carrying the power brought by Xuanyuan's angry soul and his own fate, he is destined to be unable to take Dream Fish, nor can he indulge in the gentle countryside of beauty for a long time.
"Xing'er...... We...... Let's go. "Dream Fish looked at Gu Xingchen with a sigh of thought.
Gu Xingchen took Mengyu's right hand, and his eyes revealed infinite tenderness: "Mengyu, listen to me, I, Gu Xingchen, have been destined to embark on a road of no return since I became a transferred soldier." I know, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I have no ambitions, my dream is just to have wine today and get drunk today, with that Xiahou Gang, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble to make some small money and enjoy the pleasure of the day, although I have also encountered that soul thing in my dreams, I always tell me what fate is not fate, how do I want to practice hard, to defeat this and defeat that, but I am yang and yin, on the surface I agree to cultivate, but in my heart I just feel that improving my strength can better make money and enjoy pleasure, as for fate or something, I have never bothered to pay attention to it, I have always planned that if some demon lord suddenly makes a disaster one day, I will find a place to hide and enjoy my life, but now, but I began to believe it,"
"Xing'er ......" Mengyu's eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had seen another person, but this surprise only lasted for a few seconds before it turned into an impressive relief, "I really can't imagine that you have really changed, you have begun to know how to think about life, you have begun to learn to be conscious, and you have learned to be stronger." Xing'er, what are you starting to believe?"
"I'm starting to believe in my life. Gu Xingchen took a deep breath, his eyes were full of profundity, "Many things can't be avoided at all, the destiny of heaven is destined from the beginning, no matter how unwilling you are, you can't change anything, just like the stars in the sky, although they look chaotic, but the trajectory of their operation has long been determined." ”
Mengyu smiled bitterly: "Xing'er, do you want to accept your fate and do what you should do? But what should we do now?
In the past, Gu Xingchen really chose the wrong path, he was drunk with money, wind and snow, even if he cultivated, it was only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, until he was looked down upon by others and despised by the strong, he had the heart to work hard. At that time, Gu Xingchen was like those students who were not good at studying, they also wanted to study well, but once they could play computer games without restrictions, they would immediately put down their books and immerse themselves in the battle of another dimension and forget about the fact that there was still such a thing as studying.
"There's only one thing I have to do right now...... And it is in the battle without the help of any external force, only me, constantly getting stronger!" Gu Xingchen's heart was so resolute again, "My future looks infinitely confused, but no matter how I go, I will come to the same end, even if I don't want to move forward, someone will come to answer me, such as this crisis of nine deaths." ”
"One man...... Become stronger?Xing'er ......" Mengyu suddenly realized, she saw a brand-new ancient stardust today, it was a mature ancient stardust, an ancient stardust that was moving towards the road of the strong!
"I have my destiny to fulfill, if my destiny is destined to be a tragedy, then no one can save me, if I am destined to write a legend, then let me leave my own glorious history in this world." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Xingchen smiled self-deprecatingly, he never thought that one day he would say this, let alone that he would take the initiative to go deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den without being forced by anyone.
"But...... Xing'er, if you want to go on the path of the strong, can you take me with you on your way?"
"No, no. Gu Xingchen shook his head, "This is my journey alone, it will be extremely difficult, I don't want to burden you." ”
"Xing'er...... I will live and die with you......" Mengyu was excited and hugged Gu Xingchen's waist.
"Dear Dream Fish, please understand my desire for strength and independence. After brushing the dream fish bangs, Gu Xingchen smiled lightly, "In the future, we may meet again, and when I have enough strength, I will definitely give you happiness and give you everything you want." ”
Hearing these words, Mengyu looked at Gu Xingchen's face with teary eyes in a weak look: "Xing'er...... I just want you ......"
At this time, Lu Yusen suddenly opened his mouth, interrupting Mengyu's last hope to retain Gu Xingchen: "Okay, you must understand that you yourself are also a warrior, and you also have your own unfinished fate, and in this world, regardless of men, women, young and old, strength is always the most important." Let him go, if the two love can last a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?"
Mengyu sighed and turned his head to look at Lu Yusen: "Maybe you're right, alas...... What should go, still have to go......"
"Dream Fish, I'm sorry, I owe you a lifetime of love, and I will definitely repay it for the rest of my life. You are in my heart, will never be erased, even if you and I are thousands of miles apart, our hearts will always be together, so I promise you that I will never die before you, and I will see you again with a smile, are you willing to wait for that day?" Gu Xingchen once again caressed and hugged Mengyu.
In Gu Xingchen's arms, Mengyu smiled slightly, the tears in her eyes were not dry, but she finally held back and didn't let the tears fall: "I...... Yes, you can't break your word. ”
"Definitely. He smiled and kissed deeply, and his heart was beating for a long time. The two hugged each other for only thirty seconds, but it was like centuries apart, a kiss to the sky, when will the two say goodbye?
Gu Xingchen turned his back and couldn't bear to look at Mengyu again, even if he knew that if he looked at it, he would miss it, just because the road he had to take was too long, too long, and the road that Mengyu had to take might be even longer than him.
"I'm going to the Demon Realm, as long as we kill the Emperor of the Demon Realm, we can get rid of disasters like this one forever. Gu Xingchen turned his back to Dream Fish and leisurely dropped the last sentence, "Dream Fish, you go to the Human Guild in Glora City, Sutron and they are all there, I think they will definitely accept you." With them, at least it will be safe. ”
Gu Xingchen was left in Mengyu's sight, only a shadow of his back fading away under the sunset. She wanted to shout, but she didn't want to shout, she didn't want Gu Xingchen to carry a bigger spiritual burden because of her attachment to herself.
Gu Xingchen's resolute decision to leave, only the Xuanyuan Angry Soul that accompanied him responded with that "hiss" faint sound, indicating that he could read it.
This is the end, Mengyu silently watched Gu Xingchen's back disappear to the end of the horizon, she bit her lip, the fire of faith burning in her heart made her firmly believe that Gu Xingchen would definitely come back alive, and she was destined not to be ordinary, but also destined to have her own fate. Maybe she'll be able to find some answers to her fate when she goes to the guild in Glora City.
