"King Wei will be a big tree, with lush branches and deep roots, not afraid of wind and rain, tenacious and tenacious. The Central Plains needs such a big tree, whether it is the people of the rivers and lakes or the society, they need a big tree that can shelter from the wind and rain and rely on help, what do you say, Mr. Xia?" said the flower lady.

I nodded silently, maybe she couldn't see my movements outside the nest, but I couldn't agree with her words.

The people need peace, and a tree standing proudly between heaven and earth can indeed be a shelter for the people.

"Unlike other gangs, the Wei Wanghui is never greedy, never pursues personal interests and status, but continues to work deeply for the welfare of the people, especially the people in the west. We have eliminated the local snakes and hooligan gangs that have infringed on the rights and interests of the people for a long time, and sought justice for the innocent and weak. Isn't such a non-governmental organization worthy of being joined by people of the world?" said Hua Niangzi again.

She couldn't wait for my answer, paused slightly, and immediately asked, "Mr. Xia, does what I said make sense?"

I looked up to the sky and sighed: "It makes sense, but it makes sense, and it makes sense to explain it from any way, the key is whether you have done what you said?"

Hua Niangzi smiled: "Of course, it is true to what it says, otherwise how can it gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? King Wei has always had a great ideal, that is, to unify the rivers and lakes and recreate a river and lake belonging to this era according to the structural model of the Peach Blossom Spring." The previous generation of rivers and lakes is old, and those so-called masters of the rivers and lakes are also old, and it is time to establish a new order in the rivers and lakes. ”

I can't help but smile bitterly, she said this, it is tantamount to countering violence with violence, killing to stop killing, and replacing the old hierarchy with a new hierarchy, which is completely a change of soup without a change of medicine.

In fact, Lao Tzu has long mentioned in the Tao Te Ching that only "rule by doing nothing" is the most correct solution.

Only when everyone "does nothing" will the world develop according to the most natural structure and law, and grow into the appearance of the Peach Blossom Spring.

"You don't believe me?" the flower lady noticed my wry smile.

"How do you tell me to believe it? Believe what you say, or believe in human nature? Or do you believe that the rivers and lakes can be completely calm like water? Miss Wei, you still don't know enough about the darkness of this world and the cruelty of the people in the rivers and lakes, maybe in a few years, your so-called beautiful ideals will be eaten away by reality and will never be seen again. I can say that as long as you dare to wade into the troubled waters of the rivers and lakes, you are all people with ulterior motives, and no matter how high-sounding you say, you can't hide the utilitarianism and ugliness in your heart. "I no longer refrain from restraint, but speak out.

The King of Wei would whitewash himself as a selfless person who "worked for the welfare of the world", which really underestimated the IQ of the people of Jinan and the thaumaturgical community of Jinan.

"What I said is true. The flower lady's defense pales.

"If it's true, why take hostages and steal information now?" I asked.

"I have a last resort, and those materials involve the real interests of the Wei Wanghui. If it is not taken back, the King of Wei will be in danger of overturning. The girl replied.

I was speechless, just sneered softly.

After a while, the flower lady said thoughtfully: "Mr. Xia, what does this 'old tree flowering bureau' make you think of?"

The morning glory is still blooming, and there is no doubt that these are all real flowers, and they have bloomed from the dead roots of old trees. This stark contrast between life and death, old and new, death and resurrection reminds me of the desperate predicament I have encountered before. In the midst of despair, I never gave up hope, and I never died again and again.

"Flowers remind me of good hopes. I answered truthfully.

"What would you think if I told you that in fact, my 'Old Tree Blossoming Bureau' can penetrate thousands of miles into the ground and explore some dark places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach?" asked the flower lady again.

My heart moved, and I thought of something else, and I couldn't help but gasp.

"Did you think of it?" the flower lady was thoughtful, and could read my mind from the slightest changes in my body.

"I thought about it, you know I thought about it? What did you think of what I thought?" I asked.

"Yes. The flower lady replied with a word, and then sighed in a long voice, "But the heart is like Jin Tianjian, heaven and earth will meet - although the dream is good, the process is long, how much do people who firmly believe in the future, can wait until the final ending? Perhaps, at the end of every love story, there is only 'the end of the world and the eternity, and this hatred is endless', right?"

I think of Tang Wan who is deep in the ground, and if the flower lady can think of what I think, she also thinks of Tang Wan, and the situation she knows is detected by the "Old Tree Flowering Bureau".

"You—" I said a word, my throat choked suddenly, and I didn't know how to continue.

Tang Wan is a thorn, pierced in the most vulnerable part of my soul, untouchable. Even just looking at her name would hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.

"Tang Wan-the person you care about is her, right? from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, with the world in mind. If you can believe what she says, why don't you believe what I say?" asked the flower lady.

I held back my heartache and refuted in a low voice: "Don't slander Tang Wan, she is different from all the characters in the rivers and lakes." ”

Hua Niangzi sneered: "What's the difference? Do you believe that what she said before was the truth? Let me tell you, in the past, Li Taibai wrote the poem "Shu Dao Difficult", although the whole article was written about the mountains, roads, scenery, and environment, but what was actually written was the hearts of people who 'grinded their teeth and sucked blood'. As the old saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. You have to face the facts, don't whitewash the peace, and put on the high hat of a virtuous lady for Tang Wan. Mr. Xia, you are a smart person, face it!"

I raised my hand to cover my ears, but the words of the flower lady still came in without missing a word.

Tang Wan has disappeared with the mirror room, and for me, I would rather keep the beautiful phantom of the past than believe what the flower lady said.

"That's enough—shut up!" I yelled.

"Enough? You'd better think about whether you really want me to shut up. At this very moment, I can let you see her, the real her. Give you five minutes to think about it. The flower lady said.

I was stunned again, and I was stabbed in the soft underbelly by the flower lady.

Tang Wan is my weakness, and any time I mention her, I have to change my principles in a hurry and be led by the enemy.

Of course I long to see Tang Wan, no matter what she is like in other people's mouths, she is just her, and she will always live in my heart.

"Do you long to see her?" asked the flower lady.

I don't want to answer this question, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"I can do it. The flower lady asked herself, "The magic of the 'old tree blossoming bureau' is always beyond people's imagination." ”

Suddenly, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten what Tang Wan looked like.

Her features and smile were blurred, and all I could remember was her voice. It's been so long since we've been apart, and so many things have passed in between, and too many people and things have gone around in front of me, burying memories of her deep underneath.

If it weren't for the appearance of Tang Sang, if it weren't for the moment when the flower lady trapped me with the "Old Tree Blossoming Bureau", if it weren't for others repeatedly mentioning it in my ear, probably I wouldn't have suddenly thought of Tang Wan.

A philosopher once said that love is always like this, it is easy to get tired of seeing more, and it is easy to change when you see less.

"Don't talk about it again. I said.

This answer should be completely unexpected by the flower lady, she let out an "ah" and didn't speak for a long time.

If you just see Tang Wan, but you can't really save her, it will only increase each other's pain in vain. What's the point of looking at it from afar?

"You are such a weirdo, I thought that as long as Tang Wan was mentioned, you would kneel down and beg me. The flower lady said.

I replied indifferently: "Yes, there are indeed many people in the world who value love more precious than their own lives. I'm ashamed that I'm not that kind of person. ”

After Tang Wan's disappearance, I became more and more aware of the diversity of the world, recognized my responsibilities, put aside the "small self" and let the "big self" show.

I believe that any man with great ideals will do this, instead of forever sticking to the small pattern of long love for children and short of heroism.

"The more you deny, the more I want to try it, what kind of reaction will you have if you see her?"

"Why bother to force people?" I asked rhetorically.

"Life is boring, if you don't do something interesting, how can you send a boring life?" said the flower lady with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, the roots of the trees around me quickly squirmed and rolled me forward.

I quickly discerned the direction and found that the tree nest rotated counterclockwise and rotated clockwise, with a rotation diameter of about five meters.

When I looked up, I saw the dark sky getting farther and farther away, which was proof that the tree nest was sinking.

"What should I say if I see Tang Wan?" I calmed down, no longer entangled in seeing or not seeing, but thinking about how to deal with the trick of the flower lady.

The rotation and rotation were getting faster and faster, and I had to close my eyes and bra my arms on the roots of the tree, trying to stabilize my body and not let myself lose my mind in the spinning.

With a whew, I felt the nest of trees spread out, and due to the action of the double centrifugal force, I involuntarily spun to the front right and flew out, landing in a miserable white circle of light. The diameter of the aperture is only two meters, and not far to the right, another aperture is spinning at the same speed.

I couldn't take my eyes off that aperture, knowing that Tang Wan would definitely appear from there.

After waiting for about three minutes, I felt my eyes sour, and as soon as I raised my hand and rubbed my left eye, the aperture flickered, and a woman in a long white dress appeared.

She turned her back to me, about twenty steps in a straight line, but I recognized it at a glance, she was Tang Wan, it was true.

Instead of screaming, I cautiously leaned forward with my right foot, the tip of which touched the edge of the aperture. Luckily, the aperture was blurred, not a transparent glass cover, and my right foot was able to fully extend.

"Tang Wan, I'm here!" I thought silently in my heart.

When my right foot was completely out of the aperture and I wanted to fall down, I found that there was nowhere to fall, beyond the aperture, there was all the void, and I was in a mysterious space that could not reach the sky or the ground.

I retracted my feet and shouted the name "Tang Wan" loudly.

She never looked back, looking diagonally ahead, very focused, but also very gloomy.

I knew that the so-called "meeting" would be the result, which would be useless and heartbreaking.

Tang Wan has lost weight, compared to the one in my impression, her waist has shrunk by at least one-third, and she has long lost the heroic spirit of being alone and giving up on me.

"I'll get you out. I swore in a deep voice, "I will not stop until I achieve my mission." Rest assured. ”

Of course I'm sad in my heart, but this is probably what the flower lady wants to see the most. Therefore, I restrain myself and never shed tears, good steel must be used on the blade.

How long the aperture was bright, how long my eyes stayed on Tang Wan's back. Although helpless, there is no gaffe.

Suddenly, Tang Wan's right hand was raised, his index finger was forward, and the other four fingers were bent, writing in the air. There was no blackboard in front of her, no walls, and everywhere she passed her index finger, all of them were names of "Summer Stone".

"I'm thinking about her, and she's thinking about me. I said silently from the bottom of my heart.

After writing for a long time, Tang Wan was tired and lowered his arm.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and write her name in the air.

This is probably the most desperate way to express love between lovers, who can't see each other, so they hold each other's names for warmth.

The aperture gradually dimmed, and the surroundings were dim, and I gradually couldn't see Tang Wan's shadow clearly.

After that, I myself was still trapped in the nest of the tree, neither spinning nor spinning.

"Did you see her?" was still the voice of the flower lady.

"See. I said.

This brief meeting was like a sharp knife, cutting open the wound on my heart for the second time, bloody, forcing me to face my inner world.

The mirror room fell into the ground forever, sinking with Tang Wan and more people, and I don't know when there will be an opportunity to return to the world.

The ancients said, do you see each other or not, but if you don't see each other?

The flower lady is not to "see" me for the sake of "seeing", her real purpose is to use this to probe my weaknesses and completely defeat me on a spiritual level.

"I know you have a lot to ask me, but I can only respond with the word 'sorry' because I don't know exactly where she is. One day in the sky, a thousand years on earth. Being in a different space, no physical theory can be universalized, and if I want to find her, it is no longer within my ability. The flower lady said leisurely.

"Wrong. I replied lightly, "If this is the end of my life and her, then I will accept it." Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, sages are still like this, I am a small grass citizen in Jinan, dare to seek perfection in life? Miss Wei, thank you for your fulfillment and reminder, let me once again clearly realize how cruel this world is. Therefore, I refused to join the Wei Wang Society, which is responsible for myself and the world. ”

Right now, all Tang Wan can bring me are painful memories, and only by waving a sharp blade and cutting off the cobwebs can I jump out of the spiritual trap of the flower lady.

Although the flowers are beautiful, if everything climbs out of the ruins, it will only make people feel more desolate and sad.

The flower lady's "old tree blossoming bureau" is actually a psychological obstacle layout, using all means to arouse the psychological trauma of the trapped until it is completely defeated.

"You are such a heartless person, it seems that the Tang sisters have mistaken you. The flower lady changed her melancholy tone.

My heart was like water, and I stopped responding.

"If you are like this to Tang Wan, then what do you think of the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty?" she then asked.

I smiled coldly, but still didn't answer.

"The eldest princess Lian Chengbi has never made a slight excuse to any young man, and has even said in public that she will never marry for the great cause of King Qin's domination of the rivers and lakes. However, as soon as she saw you, all her vows collapsed, and she fell hopelessly in love with you, and then even the development direction of the Qin Wang Society was quickly adjusted, and she spent a lot of time with you to travel around. The messages of our Seven Kings Society are all exchanged instantly, so as soon as I heard the message that she was unconscious and faked her death, I hurried over. Mr. Xia, don't you feel guilty that you alone have caused the two most promising girls in the rivers and lakes to lose their future?" The Hua Niangzi's tone changed, and the facts and plots narrated also changed, just like a seasoned stage host, using her voice and lines to guide the audience's emotions, and always taking the dominance of the stage in her own hands.

Of course, I feel guilty about Lian Chengbi, but she is currently in the "Koi Vampire Bureau", which is slightly better than Tang Wan's situation, and has a chance to recover. The key to this matter is whether I can withstand the pressure, chase after the merman, and find a solution.

"Miss Wei, with good intentions, don't bother. I said.

"Everyone calls me Hua Niangzi, and you suddenly call me 'Miss Wei', I'm really not too used to it. If you can, please also call me 'Flower Lady', then it will be much easier for us to communicate, hehehehe......" The Flower Lady laughed.

I snorted coldly, and did not correct my own title, and said directly: "If you take the information, I am afraid that you will be burned." ”

Hua Niangzi laughed: "Setting yourself on fire? What's so terrible about that, it's better to say 'playing with fire*', isn't it more serious?" Mr. Xia, you should be able to guess that if Liancheng falls, King Qin's hard work in this city will be in vain. Next, it's time for King Wei to show his skills. ”
