Chapter 198: Desert
Endless desert, sand and dust dancing in the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The air is filled with a breathless desolation that makes it difficult to breathe, and the ground is littered with footprints of different shades, as if in the desert where there is no end, footprints are the only evidence that people have been here.
Liu Sandao was still carrying the nameless knife that never left his body or unsheathed, walking slowly but steadily, walking in the wind and sand, Rao is tall and tall, but in this wanton storm of sand and dust, he still inevitably looks small.
In addition to being small, it is loneliness.
This feeling should not have appeared in him, who had always maintained a hearty smile, but at this time, there was no one else around, and in the huge space, it seemed that he was the only one walking in this desert with a knife.
Since there is no one around, only oneself is left, it is natural to return to the most true me, the two of them are judged before and after, and they are never the patents of those little people who are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder come to the left and right, those chivalrous people who are talked about by the world, or the demons who are spurned and despised, will have different faces at different moments.
This is a complexity of character, and it has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation.
Human beings are always complex, or all living beings with complete life forms, are complex, and the so-called innocence and singleness can only be seen in two special beings, one is a single creature born differently, and the other is a child who has just been born.
Children are known to be weak, especially when compared to an adult.
However, they are extremely weak, but they also have a characteristic that adults can't achieve, that is, they will not be mixed with the slightest deliberate and disguised innocence.
The world is never beautiful, there are too many frustrations and despairing cruelty, but for innocent children, they will always think that the world is beautiful, which is of course self-deceptive, but it can make them trouble-free for a long time.
Adults who have long since faded their innocence are different, and they can no longer reduce it to beauty when they appreciate the cruelty of reality, and if the world in the eyes of children is clear, most of their world is occupied by gloom, and only a small part of it can be regarded as clear.
Indifferent in the gloom, warm in the sunny, countless people switch between this mode all day long.
Big people, small people, all kinds of characters, intricacies, grievances and hatreds, right and wrong, constitute the rivers and lakes and temples, and also constitute all the world.
......
Liu Sandao never knew what kind of character he was, in his words, big and small, high and low, always boring things arranged casually by those so-called literati and ink writers.
After all, this world is too big, there are too many characters, their personalities are very different, they are distributed at all levels of society, and they are doing different things, how can they be said clearly and clearly in three words?
Can you say that a person who is born into a powerful family, has a prominent position, has fine clothes and fine food, has a large number of wives and concubines, and has countless servants, but who has done some things in his life that have harmed the people and money, and that it is harmful to nature and reason? Many people will deny it, but his name is in the history books.
Can you say that a person who is a minor person is a small person who is at the bottom all day long, ordinary and unremarkable, doing the most physically demanding but most thankless work, but who joins the rebel army by chance, fights bloody battles all the way, and fights against the huge imperial court? Many people will deny it, but he is just one of the many soldiers who died on the battlefield, and he has not been able to leave his name in the history books.
The so-called size is never the basis for the judgment of the future generations after tea and dinner, but depends on one's own heart, one's own heart is accessible, and can accommodate heaven and earth, that is big, one's own heart is narrow, and even one pure land cannot be fitted, that is small.
Liu Sandao is precisely because of this thought, so even if he is walking in the endless desert with one person and one knife at the moment, he does not feel as small as a speck of dust, for him, no matter what the surrounding environment is, whether it is good or bad, good or bad, it is just a road, and there is no other meaning.
Since the road is already under your feet, just walk it, as for whether you are lonely or not, it is always a momentary feeling, and the road ahead is eternal.
......
Repeated!
Another footstep sounded, leaving a deep footprint on the sand, Liu Sandao could no longer remember how many steps he had taken since stepping into the second layer of the giant tower, and he didn't have such a cold hobby to think about it.
The surroundings are still the same wind and sand, the boots on his feet have long been covered with layers of thick dust, and even the original color is a little unclear, Liu Sandao's eyes narrowed at this moment, not because the long-term walking made his consciousness a little blurred, but he smelled a different breath at this moment.
As if to cater to this sudden strange aura, a large storm of sand and dust suddenly blew around Liu Sandao, and the sand and gravel that was so small that it was difficult to measure with the naked eye gathered in an instant, and the powerful wind was like a barrier that obscured Liu Sandao's vision, and even his soul power was greatly affected.
But his knife skills are as precise as ever.
The nameless knife that was not unsheathed and the scabbard slashed down along Liu Sandao's arm in the southeast direction, and suddenly an arc-shaped sword light spread, passing through the large dust storm, no violent roar came out, some only passed through the silence of nothingness, but Liu Sandao's sword was not meaningless after all.
Because at the next moment when his sword passed through the sand and dust storm, a cut mark that matched the edge of the nameless knife emerged, and then a white and flawless jade arm poked out, and the spiritual power was released, stirring up a fan-shaped palm wind, and the sand and gravel that was originally cut off by Liu Sandao were all held up by this palm wind, and it was condensed again in an instant.
A bunch of flying stones broke through the air, like a series of poisonous hidden weapons, all of which had different intervals between them, but their goals were highly consistent, and they were all aimed at the vital acupuncture points on Liu Sandao's body.
But seeing that Liu Sandao's face remained unchanged, the long knife danced, dragging out a wave of qi, and the speed of his knife was extremely fast, causing the blade to turn around, but the wave of qi that was dragged out still did not dissipate, staying in the void. Liu Sandao's gaze condensed, and in an instant, seven swords were drawn in the same place, and the speed of the knife was so fast that it was rare in the world, so that when the nameless knife returned to its place, the seven waves of qi were almost superimposed in one place, and none of the waves of qi were the first to dissipate.
The flying stone collided with the qi wave, and the result was naturally a lose-lose situation, with one side shattering and the other dissipating.
Defusing the opponent's attack, Liu Sandao already had a chance to counterattack, but he did not make a decisive move, but paused for a moment, because the figure that came out of the dust storm was too similar to the person in his memory.
"Jade ...... Jade Shocked?" He exclaimed, and at the same time, the movement of the figure also stopped.
......
PS: There will be a change tonight.
