Chapter 123: The Sorrow of Light (2)
(There will be two updates tomorrow morning, one is updated normally, and one chapter is added)
Maybe it was because of Jing Quan's gloomy tone, maybe it was because the lights were too dim, maybe it was because of Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao's crampedness and Patani's nervousness, the atmosphere in the room at the top of the pyramid became heavy.
Only Cheng Mo was calm as usual, he looked at Jing Quan sitting in the shadows, his face was very fierce, his eyes were not big or small, garlic nose, and what was particularly exaggerated was that he had a wide jaw like a French bulldog, what Cheng Mo thought of in his heart was not "ugly", but subconsciously felt that this man had such developed chewing muscles, and the bite force must be very amazing.
Cheng Mo also raised his glass and said, "What Mr. Jing said is very reasonable, but whether you can be friends for life or not is not decided by one person. In fact, Cheng Mo was thinking in his heart: "Uneducated people like to say some plausible nonsense, it seems that this well is very mindful of the fact that he has not read much after he is rich." ”
Jing Quan smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Lin has the heart and the will, I believe we will definitely be able to." After saying that, Jing Quan drank all the wine in the cup.
Cheng Mo also drank the wine in the cup, put the cup on the coffee table, and then replied: "If you don't have sincerity, you won't come to Penglai Mountain." ”
Jing Quan nodded, "Since that's the case, I won't say secret words, I still have doubts about Mr. Lin, I don't know how Mr. Lin can dispel my suspicions?"
"Mr. Jing, how do you want me to dispel the doubts in your heart?" Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Lin told my brother a lot of the truth of your life that day, I Jingquan is a big old man, I don't understand what the Stogo school is, and I don't understand what the relationship between local evil and overall evil, I only know that as the saying goes, 'not a family does not enter a family', and our ancestors also taught us: people gather by like, and things are divided by groups. The phoenix will fly with the dragon, and the tiger and wolf will surely be a beast like a lion and a leopard! If it is mixed with sheep, that is food!"
After a pause, Jing Quan looked at Cheng Mo and said, "Mr. Lin, do you think this is the truth?"
"Indeed, only like-minded people can be united. ”
"Since we have reached a consensus on this point, let's go a .....," Jing Quan said, filling his own glass with wine, and Jing Xing immediately poured the wine with Cheng Mo.
The two had another drink, and Jing Quan said: "To tell the truth, it is impossible for people like us to be dragons and phoenixes, and fate is like this, so we can only sharpen our minions and become beasts, although it is dangerous to be a beast, it is better than being a sheep to be born to be slaughtered." I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"
Cheng Mo said in his heart: "These words are still somewhat interesting, the truth of the reckless hero is always not so written and not so profound, but it directly points to the animal nature of human beings, and directly to the primitive essence of the jungle under the moral skin of modern society." ”
Cheng Mo replied, "Of course! It's better to be a beast than a lamb." ”
Jing Quan smiled, filled the glass again, and said, "You see, we have reached a consensus on this point again, and it is worth having another drink." ”
Cheng Mo lifted the glass that had been filled with wine from Jing Xing, touched it with Jing Quan Yao, and poured into his mouth a century-old wine mixed with figs, dried roses, honeysuckle, passion fruit, cigars and leather, the velvety silky taste and complex aroma reminded of the taste of time.
Cheng Mo watched Jing Xing help him fill the wine again, the amber liquor was flowing gently under the faint light, Cheng Mo remembered that Louis XIII is known as the eaux-de-vie, the shortest brewing time takes forty years, the longest takes more than a hundred years, and a bottle of Louis XIII cognac is about mixed with more than 700 kinds of eaux-de-vie flavors. Not only the brewing, but also the barrels used to hold the eaux-de-vie are also made of Limousin oak over 150 years old, and the wood can only be cut in winter, and it cannot be sawn for fear of damaging the natural fibers in the oak and affecting its porosity.
It's no wonder that it can precipitate the taste of the world, but Louis XIII belongs only to the rich.
The taste of time for the lambs is cheap two-pot head, inferior Jiang Xiaobai, or vodka close to alcohol concentration, which is cheap and sufficient, which can make you quickly enter a state of intoxication and feel the time when your brain is blank and there is no worry.
Cheng Mo looked at the slightly rippling amber in the crystal cup and said, "Wine, it is indeed a good thing." ”
Jing Quan continued: "Since Mr. Lin also thinks it is good to be a beast, let's talk about how to be a beast, just like a sheep is born to wait to be bred and slaughtered, and a beast is born to chase and hunt. If you are a sheep, you must learn to be obedient and learn to get used to being freaked. If it is a beast of prey, you should abandon cheap compassion and morality, learn to hunt those fat sheep, if the fat sheep are sent to the door, you still ignore them, this is not the reason to be a beast. To be honest, I don't think Mr. Lin is like a beast, but like a sheep in wolf's clothing....."
Cheng Mo said in his heart: "I am neither a beast nor a sheep, I am a hunter, a hunter with a shotgun. He chuckled noncommittally and said, "Sheep don't dare to kill." ”
"No, no, that doesn't prove anything, even sheep resist when they're in danger....., right?
Jing Quan pointed to his eyes with his middle finger and index finger and said: "The point is that I can't see desire in Mr. Lin's behavior, people have to have desire to become a beast, this desire may be money, it may be power, it may be beauty, it may be hatred..... Mr. Lin's performance is more like a master of the world who sees through the red dust, rather than like a beast......"
Cheng Mo said lightly: "Mr. Jing is right, the character of our Heluo faction has always been a master of the world, and I am also used to this persona, so it looks like a master of the world..... There is nothing strange about a liar who will pretend, if I can't hide it from you, how can I eat with this mixed bowl of rice. ”
Jing Quan smiled "haha" and said: "I'm afraid that Mr. Lin will deceive people, and even deceive himself, I really feel that I am a master of the world, and I have forgotten how to be a beast, otherwise how could Mr. Lin come to such a fun place as our Penglai Wonderland, or I can't let go?" I really think that as long as it is a man, in our Penglai Wonderland, the desire in the body will be stimulated, but Mr. Lin is too light-hearted..... How can I not wonder if you have the heart to be a beast?"
Cheng Mo took off his mask and asked rhetorically, "Does Mr. Jing think it's difficult to win the favor of women with my appearance?"
At this time, a series of fireworks happened to bloom in the dark blue sky, and the sudden light illuminated the entire room, and at this moment, the golden cage turned into a brilliant diamond deer on Lin Zhinuo's handsome face.
When Patani saw Cheng Mo take off his mask, he couldn't help but cautiously tilt his head to sneak a look at Lin Zhinuo, but to her surprise, Lin Zhinuo was not only younger than she guessed, but also handsome, making Pattani feel like a work of art on display in a museum.
Jing Quan looked at Cheng Mo for a moment, his face that was originally smiling became a little dull, and he said, "I don't ask Mr. Lin's background, I just want to ask Mr. Lin, what do you want?"
I have already answered this question, I want to be free, I have the freedom to do what I want, and I have the freedom not to do what I don't want to do. ”
Jing Xing shook his head, "Financial freedom? This is not a difficult thing for Mr. Lin. ”
"Money can't solve my problem, I have powerful enemies, that is, the kind of people who are born with dragons and phoenixes, I became a beast not only to protect myself, but also to tear my enemies from the sky and tear them to pieces. Cheng Mo said in a deep voice.
"That's a good reason, but it's not so easy for Mr. Lin to turn into a beast, and you know that if we want to come in, we all have a name for it....."
Jing Quan picked up the cup, drank a glass of wine by himself, looked at Cheng Mo's silent face, showed a smile and said, "My request is not too much, since you don't like the two girls that my brother prepared for you, then kill them with your own hands." ”
