Kong Jiusi's hair was messy, fluttering in the wind. Then he said:

By the third year, the pain had doubled again, and even my breath was restrained by the chains. My greatest wish is to live in the world for one day without these eight chains. As for Wulin's grievances against me, I don't care. I believe that one day, I will be able to return to the world with this thought in my fourth year. Guess what happened in the fourth year? It was the most important thing in my life. The senior smiled happily. The unimaginable suffering of ordinary people in the dungeon for ten years does not seem to have left him with the slightest resentment, only open-mindedness.

Gu Xiaowen and Yan Ping shook their heads, their faces full of sympathy.

"In the fourth year, I stopped eating, I was completely desperate, I didn't eat or drink for seven days, but my internal strength kept me alive. One day, the cell door opened, and I wanted to see the light again. I heard a few people talking about whether I was alive or dead. Then I heard the voice of a little girl, and it was very nice. She asked the food delivery man why he had chained me here, and if I was a living corpse? Because his heart is very ambitious, he has to run away all day long, and like you, he can't write and practice martial arts well, so he is chained here. I heard the little girl say, "He's so pitiful, I'm going to let him go." At that time, I was full of resentment towards the world, I just felt that this little girl was also fake, and I just wanted to tear this little girl to pieces. I don't hate the people who laugh at my food delivery every day, I don't know why, but I hate the most people who pretend to sympathize with me. Years later, I realized that I was jealous of the little girl. A man is chained in a dungeon all year round, and the darkness in his heart is the same as that of the dungeon, and jealousy and hatred crawl in his eyes like two maggots. ”

Gu Xiaowen and Yan Ping were shocked to hear it. The people of the poison mound gate under the torii retreated at this time, just surrounding them from a distance.

Gu Xiaowen said: "That little girl is me." ”

The senior smiled lightly: "You remember." The next day, the little girl slipped in again while the food delivery person came in. It was my surprise, and even more to my surprise, she came up to me in the dark with the food delivery on her back, and I could have killed her. You know what? Why didn't I kill you?"

"Because you've been looking me in the eye. Gu Wanwen said, "After I am sensible, I have also thought about it." ”

"Yes, so a murderer doesn't look into the eyes of a slain. I look into your eyes and can't do anything. Do you remember what you said to me?"

"I don't remember. Gu Wanwen said.

"You say, your heart is also very wild, so you are often locked up in the house by your father. Your mother gave you a mud bodhisattva, saying that as long as you look at this mud bodhisattva, your heart will slowly calm down. So you brought the mud bodhisattva and gave it to me. You also said that when you grow up, you will come and let me out. ”

"I grew up and I forgot. I forgot a lot of things when I was a child. Gu Xiaowen said quietly.

"I don't blame you. When people grow up, they change. It's all like that. How many years is it time to say?" said the senior lightly.

"Fifth year. Yan Ping said busily. He wanted to hear it.

"By the way, in the fifth year, guess what I'm doing?"

"You're practicing. ”

"I'm waiting for that little girl to come and save me. I eat, I drink the groundwater from that hole in the dungeon. I knew that the little girl's father had lost his temper, that the food delivery man was punished for letting the little girl see me, that I knew that the little girl would never come again, that I knew that when she grew up, she would grow up like everyone else, slowly without sympathy, only those stupid worldly thoughts, and when others told her that the man deserved it, she would also say that he deserved it in the dungeon. But I can't forget her eyes, to put it a little sour, but really, those eyes never disappeared in the dungeon. Think about it, a man like me who is in a dungeon, and if there is any hope in the fifth year, it is that there is a person who has said very seriously that she is going to get you out. It doesn't matter if she's an ignorant child or a liar, it's your hope. ”

Gu Xiaowen's eyes were wet. The seniors spoke more and more clearly.

"That child, it's you, my years to come, those dark years in the dungeon, I always think about how old she has grown and how her appearance has changed. One day, will she really come to save me? Now that I see you, you look the same as I thought you would. It can be said that there is a you who grew up in my imagination. Growing up with my hopes. Then, it was the sixth year, and this year I scolded that mud bodhisattva. The mud bodhisattva that the little girl put in front of me. I scolded for a year, during the day I scolded, scolded it for not being able to untie my chains, scolded it for being useless, scolded it for not keeping its promises, and didn't let that little girl come to save me. The people who delivered the food said that I was just going crazy now, which is rare. I'm crazy, I always have to find someone to talk to, and I curse the Bodhisattva in my dreams. But it didn't speak, it didn't say a word, until one day in a dream, I cried, I begged it to use a spell to untie my chains, but this time it spoke, and the mud bodhisattva said, "Where are the chains?" I only saw that you had wings. Aren't you very free? When I said this, I suddenly felt that the chain seemed to grow on my body and became my wings, and for the first time in my dream I was not bound by the iron chain, and I flew out of the dungeon in my dream and ran away in the rivers and lakes of Shushan. Like when I was younger. Then I woke up. After waking up, I looked at the mud bodhisattva in the darkness again, with a kind light on his face, the little mud bodhisattva" The senior was also full of kindness at this time, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at Gu Xiaowen and said: "Thank you Bodhisattva, from that day on, from that dream, the mud bodhisattva has lived in my heart." The senior patted his chest, "I kind of understand, these eight iron chains are actually tied to my heart, and I can turn them into a part of my body, and I no longer feel pain, no longer feel restrained, no longer burdensome." ”

Gu Xiaowen took Yan Ping's hand and cried.

"You asked me how I practiced this iron chain skill, and this is how I refined it, the divine weapons in the world are not some ancient divine iron, nor are they some poison that Shushan and Jianghu dream of, but whatever it is that is integrated into your body and becomes a part of your soul. In thirteen years, I have gone from pain to peace, and I can even use my mind to drive these eight chains. They have become my meridians, my siblings, and my memories of the past, and they grow on me. ”

I don't know why? At this time, Yan Ping looked at the people in the poison mound gate below, and he didn't feel how terrible it was.
