Chapter 254: First Battle Opponent
"It's good to stick to your ideals, but if you are immersed in endless fantasies, sooner or later you will drown in your dreams."
A slight smile suddenly appeared on Xie Ning's face, which had been frozen, like a fake malice, full of cold mockery, and she herself did not hide her attitude.
"Senpai...... How can you say that......"
Qiu Wuyi weakly put down the wine glass he had just raised, his face was embarrassed, although Xie Ning's words were basically correct, but it was really a bit too direct.
But then again, who do you expect Xie Ning to give face...... This also seems unlikely.
This person speculates on everything around him with the greatest malice all the time, but he often leaves people speechless.
"The snow-white gate that dwells high in the seventy-seven zeniths, where people are no longer afraid of old age, life, sickness, shame and injustice, is the world where everything returns to nothingness, and it is the world that encompasses all things, and the one who enters Paradise, all things can appear according to his needs, and disappear because he does not need them, there is no time to pass, and all the powers outside Paradise cannot cross the ......"
Tian Jiu shook the golden fan lightly, his smile did not waver in the slightest because of Xie Ning's teasing, and he lightly painted his pale red red lips and recited lines of poetic sentences.
"Paradise as described in the holy book of the eternal kingdom. ”
Xie Ning explained to Qiu Wuyi, who had a big head, that she had read a lot of books, and the holy book of Yongguo was actually a very classic thing, so naturally it would not be missed.
Qiu Wuyi couldn't help but shake his head, although he knew in his heart that this was a very indecent behavior, but he really couldn't have a good impression of the so-called holy books and the like.
However, the paradise recorded in the holy book, that is, the paradise, is somewhat different, and in the scriptures of the general sect, it always takes the trouble to pile up the happiness of heaven with all kinds of flowery words, but this paradise has nothing, but it is not really nothing, as long as the human mind can become a reality, which is a step higher than those heavens that have specific descriptions.
"Doesn't that sound unrealistic, but we are still human beings, living in the world with our feet on the earth, expecting to bring the paradise of the holy book to earth, that is just a delusion. ”
Tianjiu put away the golden fan in his hand and pointed towards Qiu Wuyi, this action didn't seem to have any special significance, it was somewhat similar to Cheng Tiexuan's daily handsome behavior.
"And what is the paradise you imagine?"
Xie Ning still disagreed with Tianjiu's words, she didn't believe in God, she would always go her own way, she would not be shaken by any exhortation, nor would she hide her "evil" because of any pressure.
"The current Holy Son City is already my ideal form. Rulers make perfect rules, and others can get the life they want as long as they follow these rules, but some people are swayed by greed in their hearts and break the perfect rules, so it leads to countless tragedies. And I am not righteous, and I have not saved anyone, but I have only borne the hatred of my victims and plunged a sharp blade into the chest of the perpetrator of evil. ”
Tian Jiu placed the fan horizontally on the table, leaned back slightly, raised the wine glass towards the sky, and gently closed his eyes, as if mourning the soul of the deceased.
"But ......"
Although there were countless words churning in his heart, Qiu Wuyi couldn't spit out the third word, and a thousand words turned into silence.
In these words, Tianjiu's meaning is already very clear, his identity is the guardian of the rules, but he can only walk in the dark, and the pain is probably only clear to him.
But it's not really a paradise. ”
Xie Ning's voice was a little quieter than just now.
"Yes, this place can only become a real paradise when people like me are no longer needed, maybe this is my dream, even if I walk on the thorns step by step, my eyes can't see the distant finish line, but I can only go on like this step by step, no matter whether the end is into the light or into the darkness. ”
Even though the smile on Tian Jiu's face was still gorgeous, Qiu Wuyi felt that the smile was not sincere, as if he was enduring pain, and the words and sentences that came out of Tian Jiu's mouth were like heavy stones, not only pressing on Qiu Wuyi's heart, but also on his own body.
"Do you want us to help you by saying this?"
Qiu Wuyi suddenly asked in an almost cold tone, tough and straightforward, with a faint shadow between his eyebrows and eyes, and pressed his hands stiffly on the table.
"Personally, I naturally want as many people as possible to help me, but I don't mean to force it, and I believe that the two of you will keep it a secret. How about this? If something happens that requires my intervention, how about the two of you come and watch it at that time? Looking at the unknown side of the city, you may have a different feeling. ”
Tianjiu's invitation not only surprised Qiu Wuyi, but even Xie Ning was very surprised.
The hands of the clock have advanced a little.
It's still far from the middle of the night.
So the streets are still brightly lit.
On the way back to the arena dormitory, Qiu Wuyi and Xie Ning barely had anything to say.
It's not that there is no need to talk, but because Qiu Wuyi has always been pondering, thinking about the meaning of Tianjiu's "invitation".
If under normal circumstances, there is often a shadow hidden behind this sudden honesty, in fact, Tianjiu is also like this, what he said just now may not be his true intention.
"Senior sister, do you believe what he just said?"
Qiu Wuyi felt that it was better to ask Xie Ning's opinion now, because his previous friendship with Tianjiu made it impossible for him to consider this matter from an objective point of view, and it was not correct to measure everything by emotion.
"All he said was the truth, the whole truth, so there was no sign of lying in either his breath or his body, but he was hiding something and couldn't see the whole picture of the truth being the same as a lie. ”
Xie Ning's answer already said everything, and she always maintained a skeptical attitude towards Tianjiu's statement.
"In this case, Senior Sister is not going to participate in it. ”
Qiu Wuyi straightened his arms in the night breeze and tensed his back to move his somewhat tired body. Xie Ning's answer was not unexpected, even if it was someone she trusted, she wouldn't show much sincerity to her on weekdays, but it was not realistic to expect her to be able to "mess around" with Tianjiu.
"Of course you want to participate, please let me participate. ”
"Huh?"
Qiu Wuyi's outstretched arms froze in the air, and he turned his head in surprise as if he didn't know the person at all.
"I'm running out of patience, if I don't do something......"
Xie Ning's voice was a little more depressed in his coldness, as well as imperceptible pain.
Qiu Wuyi knew that what Xie Ning was referring to was the murderous impulse that had been suppressed through endless fighting, although she had never taken the initiative to mention it before, but it was already very difficult to suppress the impulse on weekdays.
"When the time comes, I'll go with my senior sister, and it just so happens that I'm also a little interested. ”
In this regard, Qiu Wuyi could only agree, but he couldn't think of a way to completely eliminate Xie Ning's murderous impulse, and as a last resort, he could only let it go at some point?
If that's the case, then what's the difference between it and those imprisoned in the Western Heavenly Martial Hall.
Until they returned to the dormitory, the two men were silent.
Not only Xie Ning's matter, but also the person from the Northern Tianwu Hall, as well as the opponents he might encounter next, all kinds of questions popped up in his mind, but they were completely unsolvable.
One thing is certain, though, and that is that it has to get stronger, even if it's just for a few days.
When Qiu Wuyi woke up, it was still early, and too many questions did not disturb his sleep, because it was an extraordinary time, and there was not enough rest, let alone calm judgment.
Pushing open the door of the room, you can see at a glance the drunkard master sitting in the hall, as well as the senior sister Xie Ning and Cheng Tiexuan, who did not show great hospitality for some reason.
Among the three of them, except for Xie Ning, who was still as cold as ever, it seemed that the expressions of the remaining two people were a little different from usual, or nervous.
This is definitely a sign of what is happening.
"Good morning, what's wrong?
Qiu Wuyi briefly tidied up his appearance, walked out of his room quickly, and asked the three people in the hall.
"Combat meeting, yes, you come and see it too. ”
As he spoke, the drunkard master picked up a thin stack of paper and dangled it towards Qiu Wuyi.
There is no big tongue, no smirk on his face, if it is not for his obscene appearance, it is almost another person.
"The battle table is out...... The first battle is us?"
Taking a piece of paper, Qiu Wuyi glanced at it and immediately understood why everyone's expressions were so solemn.
This piece of paper is the next battle arrangement, among the sixteen teams with a line, the first battle is the rising star.
The opponent of the battle is the "ultimate assassin" who drags several artillery carriages into the field.
Looking down, there are many familiar names in the battle table, and there are also some teams that I have never heard of.
"How is the battlefield arranged?"
After Qiu Wuyi finished reading it, he first asked this most critical question.
"Uncle I'll go to represent the lottery for a while, as before, the team that wins the lottery is eligible to choose the battlefield, if Uncle I win, it must be an ordinary battlefield without a death threat, if it's on that side, it's hard to say, but until the game starts three days later, you can choose whether to abstain or not. ”
"It's really thoughtful to consider abstaining before the war starts.
There was no sarcasm in Xie Ning's voice, as if she really thought so.
"This team can be said to be one of the strangest teams in this conference, the last time we fought with the excavator uncle, the results are not optimistic, this time, there are at least three people on the other side who have this kind of heavenly clothes, and they still have the strength to qualify even if they don't use these three cannons. ”
Cheng Tiexuan's handsome face slightly appeared a little sad.
"Knock Knock"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door to the dormitory.
Everyone is in the dormitory, and now the time has come, only outsiders.
