Chapter 257: The darkness of the night, the firmness of the day
Chu Yanshan stood in front of the eighth floor of the giant tower, a place that had not been set foot for thousands of years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This act alone is enough to amaze many people with her confidence.
It's just that seeing Chu Yanshan hesitating for a long time, but not making the next move, others gradually lost their expectations for her, and at the next moment when Chu Yanshan stopped, Yang Qianfan, Xiahou Thorn, Zhuo Yiran, Yue Qian, Liu Jingzhi and others had already touched other stone gates.
One after another, the brilliance surged, and one result after another.
did not suffer a mutation like the previous Qu Busan, Yue Qian, Yang Qianfan, Xiahou Thorn and Liu Jingzhi all successfully entered the seventh layer, Zhuo Yiran, whose injuries had slightly improved, entered the sixth layer, and most of the rest were accepted by the fourth and fifth layers.
In an instant, the people present disappeared one after another, only Qin Cang, Liu Sandao and Chu Yanshan had not yet been tested by Shimen.
"Big brother, everyone is almost gone, are we still waiting?" asked Liu Sandao.
Qin Cang asked rhetorically, "Isn't there still Chu Yanshan?"
"Hehe, big brother, you're still paying attention to this Chu girl!Why, do you want to see if she can enter the eighth layer?" asked Liu Sandao with interest.
Qin Cang didn't respond again, because the next moment Liu Sandao's words fell, Chu Yanshan, who had not moved for a long time, finally began to take steps.
Chu Yanshan's steps were very light, because the Yin and Evil Qi generated by cultivating the Absolute Evil Cult seemed to have converged a lot with her thoughts, and no longer oppressed her surroundings with her movements, except for the dark mask that looked very cold and the deep and depressed black clothes, all her current movements and postures were in line with what a young woman should have.
Therefore, when Liu Sandao, who was standing behind, saw Chu Yanshan's back slowly walking towards the stone gate, his eyes suddenly became a little trance, and his face was also filled with incredulity.
"Eh, big brother, do you think that the current Chu Yanshan is very different from before?" Liu Sandao suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Cang.
Qin Cang's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's different, she is a little more feminine now." ā
ā......ā
This answer made Liu Sandao, who had always liked to joke, stunned for a moment, and after a while, Liu Sandao reacted and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I swear I asked you seriously just now...... Why are you still involved in femininity?"
Qin Cang glanced at him and said with a light smile: "The previous Chu Yanshan was a demon of yin and evil who was controlled by the Absolute Evil Codex, but now she is suppressing the Absolute Demon Cult in turn, and the demonic nature has dissipated, and the part that is replaced by human nature is the body of a woman, I said that she is more feminine than before, is it possible to be wrong?"
"Uh...... This...... Damn! I suddenly found that I can't compare to you in terms of eloquence, no wonder you will be my eldest brother, I will obey!" Liu Sandao said as he spoke, and did not forget to stretch out his right thumb and praise Qin Cang fiercely.
Qin Cang chuckled, stopped looking at him, and shifted all his attention to Chu Yanshan, who was walking towards the stone gate on the far right corresponding to the eighth floor of the giant tower.
In just one zhang distance, Chu Yanshan walked for a long time.
Qin Cang behind him also watched for a long time.
A person's pace does not stop, and a person's gaze does not move.
Chu Yanshan was dressed in black, standing with Qin Cang's back, except for the green silk scattered behind his head and the dark back, he should not see any surface about her.
But he never thought to see Chu Yanshan's surface clearly.
No matter how a person's appearance is, whether it is beautiful or ugly, it is just a pair of skins, and no matter how fresh the skin is, after decades of erosion, it will begin to wither and age, just like a residual leaf in the wind.
Mortals can't suppress this aging, so the young guy will gradually become a hunchbacked old man, and the beautiful girl will eventually become an old woman with vicissitudes of life, until in the end, she is buried by a pinch of loess, her consciousness dissipates, her body does not exist, and at best, she will leave some remnants of her soul in the rumors of Zhiwei, and if you are lucky, you will enter reincarnation, and if you are unlucky, you will have nowhere to return.
As for the monks, they also can't suppress the aging of their bodies, at most they can only prolong their youth and postpone the aging time through their own cultivation, but if they don't become gods and demons for a day, they will never know the method of immortality, and they will eventually usher in the day when they wither and wither like grass and trees.
This is fate, a fate that many people want to change but can't.
Life is in a hurry, all kinds of glitz and glamour will eventually become empty, no matter how good the skin is, if it can't be kept fresh forever, it will only become the nourishment of the soil.
If it is relatively long-lasting, it is probably only the white bones covered by the skin.
It's just that although the white bones are difficult to be weathered, they are always an empty frame, without a body to support, without a heart to accommodate, empty as a wilderness, what is the meaning of existence?
......
What Qin Cang wanted to see was naturally not the bone hidden under Chu Yanshan's skin.
What he wanted to see was something deeper, called the heart.
Through the back, probe the heart, this is a fantasy thing, because even two people who get along close to each other day and night dare not say that they can see each other's hearts accurately and speechlessly, and what can they see through a distant dark back?
Qin Cang just saw it.
He saw the helplessness in Chu Yanshan's coldness, the hesitation in firmness, the retreat in moving forward, and even the light in the darkness.
He couldn't see clearly, he couldn't see it from such a distance, but he still saw it, saw something that no one had noticed in years.
This does not mean that he will be the person Chu Yanshan expects to meet, but it can show that he and her are the same on a certain level, because two completely different people will not have the slightest intersection in common, let alone see many hidden things through that intersection point.
......
The intersection of Qin Cang and Chu Yanshan is naturally darkness.
The latter locked himself into the darkness because of his cultivation of the Absolute Cult, and it was difficult to break free.
As the former, Qin Cang was looking for light for many years, and when he thought he had finally ushered in a sunny day, he was suddenly hit by a sudden storm and rain, and he inevitably fell into the mud.
The gray sky with not much light in sight was a precursor to darkness.
So the mud became a lock, and the darkness became a prison, and it was not his body that was imprisoned, but his state of mind.
The state of mind is locked, and even if you have the ability to soar in the sky, you can't get true happiness and freedom, and you can't be unfettered.
Therefore, the road in front of Qin Cang was destined to be impossible for him to cross by flying, but needed him to walk step by step.
The man holds the sword, and the blade of the sword marks the sword marks on the road he has passed, replacing the footprints and becoming the marks of his walking.
Such an imprint is destined to be conspicuous in the dark.
......
There will actually be a lot of gates on the road ahead.
The current stone gate is just one of them.
But they all have one thing in common, and that is whether the world inside the door is a long-lost light or a more terrifying darkness.
Chu Yanshan walked ahead of him, at least for this moment.
He looked at her back, unmoved, but his heart seemed to have come to the door, as her dark hand touched the surface of the stone door.
Chu Yanshan finally finished walking, and it was really as long as a lifetime.
Qin Cang's eyes at this moment also seemed to have gone through a lifetime of precipitation, and they became deeper in the years.
Suddenly, the sound of the stone door opening sounded, like an ode to the dawn replacing the darkness.
Chu Yanshan's heart was awe-inspiring, at the same moment, she saw the light in front of her, but she also felt the incomparably terrifying demonic aura behind her!
It was the darkness of the night.
It is also the firmament of the day.
