At what cost?

Yes, what a simple sentence, but it really says the essence of the monk.

To have power, you need to go deeper and more extraordinary - like the increasingly inhuman level, to use strength beyond the horizon.

Then there will have to be some sacrifices.

Gu Changsheng looked at Yan Ping at this moment, and immediately caught a glimpse of a slight strange color from the bottom of his eyes.

It was also this staggered moment that Gu Changsheng understood......

Yan Ping should have understood something more essential during the time he lived with the elder.

Just like Huang Pingyuan's breath, after a long time, he has no chance to turn back.

Maybe at this moment, Yan Ping had already sacrificed something under the guidance of the elder of the pavilion?

Should I say it or not, since Yan Ping practiced some tantric methods with Ge Lao, his whole person has changed significantly in terms of temperament.

This kind of overflowing appearance, even if no one else reminded him, Gu Changsheng already knew it.

It seemed that because Yan Ping's attitude was too serious, Gu Changsheng hesitated for a moment before reminding him loudly.

"Brother Yan, I may not understand what I said. As I have proposed, the left and right are just some side measures...... Whether you really use it or not depends on your personal wishes. ”

Not forced, but voluntary.

It may seem a little 'hypocritical', after all, it is not the case with Huang Pingyuan.

Fortunately, Yan Ping was not an awkward character, and when he heard this, he just laughed and replied politely.

"So, that's normal. I already knew what Brother Gu's temper was, so I naturally understood these truths. ”

After saying this, he changed his words and urged directly.

"Now that time is pressing, Brother Gu has any other way, so it is. Although I, Yan Ping, don't have great ambitions, I also know how to prioritize. ”

Speaking of this, I seem to be a little interested. Yan Ping's mouth was half open, and the words swirled in his mouth.

He seemed to be trying to say something.

But at the same time, it seems that I don't know where to start.

A touch of melancholy, a trace of concern. Stacking two by two like this is Yan Ping's tangled expression now.

"Brother Yan has something to say?"

It was precisely because of these appearances in his eyes that Gu Changsheng asked this question. But just after he said these words.

Yan Ping, who was not far away, turned his head around.

"Brother Gu......"

Under the night sky, the moon and stars are sparse.

The brilliance projected in the hole is no longer as dazzling as the day, and at this moment it highlights the gloomy and depressive tone.

And at this moment when their eyes met, Gu Changsheng vaguely saw some traces of melancholy.

The feelings here are quite complicated.

There is envy and emotion. Even a slight jealousy, there is also a trace of helplessness.

It seems to have knocked over the cook's counter.

Needless to say, the ups and downs are all mixed with more than half of the flavors of life at this moment.

Why did Yan Ping show such a strange appearance?

Just when Gu Changsheng was thinking like this, the man who was standing in front of him had already opened his mouth and said.

"Brother Gu, if there are some words that are accompanied by others...... After all, it's not convenient for me to say more. ”

"But now that it's just you and me, I don't want to be so restrained."

Yan Ping opened his mouth on his own, and Gu Changsheng also asked about it. He had to bow slightly, and then whispered.

"Brother Yan has any advice, even if it is."

"I can't tell you anything, just a few words...... I've been hiding it in my heart for too long, too long. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Ping suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

"Brother Gu, do you know...... How much I envy you. ”

Envy?

Where does this begin?

Gu Changsheng didn't know whether he was clear or not, but Yan Ping turned around and walked straight ahead-there is a way to speak without delaying the right thing, even if it is a private communication.

The task of rushing to the edge of the East City cannot be put down.

"Brother Gu listens to me like this, but now he feels a little inexplicable?"

“…… I also asked Yan Ping to give me advice. ”

"Haha, teach? How dare I say that. Brother Gu, how dare I be a teacher for such a celestial posture like you? ”

These words sounded a little harsh, but somehow, now they were heard by Gu Changsheng. There is only a lot of self-deprecation here.

I saw that Yan Ping, who was walking in front of him, suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes widened, and his throat rolled for a while.

The voice came out in a thin stream.

"Since my brother Gu entered the Vientiane Building, I was indeed happy at the beginning. After all, the righteous path is weak, and Orange Island needs more monks to maintain order. ”

"You, like me, are all natives, and you can comprehend such a state of mind."

"But as time went on, I felt more and more ...... There is indeed no fairness in the world. ”

"Brother Gu, I'll ask you a question. You have come in the door, but have the elders in the door to teach you? ”

Yan Ping was a little aggressive, but Gu Changsheng didn't choke back. He just was silent, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“…… No, there is none. ”

"Have you ever obtained the secret luck inside the door, opened the gate of heaven in one day, and steadily increased your rank?"

“…… No, there is none. ”

At this point, Yan Ping couldn't bear it anymore, and actually laughed three times!

"Hahaha, fake, fake, fake!

！ Brother Gu, Brother Gu, I don't know whether to say that you are too stupid, or that you are too pretending? ”

"If there is no guidance from the people in the door, then where do you say that the people in your dreams come from?"

"If there is no secret in the door, where will the means to awaken the Yellow Plains come from?"

"You have to get ahead of the curve everywhere, and you have to be in front of others in everything. This was the case with Serpent Heart before, and this time it was like this at the Hell Gate. ”

Yan Ping spoke faster and faster, and even in the end, he half-turned his head and showed Gu Changsheng a smile that was more ugly than crying.

This matter can be regarded as a bit wronged, after all, on the surface, Gu Changsheng has to be a disciple of the 'Buddha Sect'.

But he is a real brass door heir.

In this way, this answer is not right, and at this moment, it also has a bit of a chicken-and-duck lecture.

But at the same time, it was at this moment that Gu Changsheng finally reacted.

Yan Ping......

His mindset seemed to have collapsed.

"Do you know that if you want to cultivate to this realm, how much luck, blood, and tears you have to pay?!"

"I can enter the door at the age of ten, and I can't stop doing my homework day and night."

"Enter the world, to temper the heart. Realize the name of the job and open the door of heaven...... One step can take one step, and these two short steps, I have to walk for decades. ”

"Who has decades to squander at will?"

At this point, Yan Ping seemed to rise, and his voice became more and more high.

"If that's it, forget it, forget it! After all, this world is so big, geniuses have their own, but it's not me, so what? ”

"Such a truth, such a heart, how could I, Yan Ping, not have it? But, it's ......."

"Why is the Pavilion Elder so biased towards you!

！ ”

Is the elder of the pavilion biased towards me?

Gu Changsheng didn't know what it meant, but before he could open his mouth to ask, Yan Ping in front of him had already continued.

"Elder Ge has used two mirrors in front of you and me, and you know what their effect is. It's just Brother Gu, have you ever thought that there is a price to pay for using this relic. ”

Need...... Price.

An inexplicable subtlety appeared in Gu Changsheng's heart, he seemed to understand something, and there was some surprise between his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's the price, the price!"

"Why is it that a person who uses a two-sided mirror can reverse his surroundings and save himself? Because some of his three souls and seven spirits will be extracted and stored in them! ”

"From now on, this person's mirror cannot be divided into two, the mirror of death is inch, and the mirror is broken!"

"Do you think that the elder of the pavilion is looking for me, really to teach me some secret method?! It was all rhetoric, he just told me......"

"From now on, my life will be in the company of this mirror as wide as a façade, and I will never be ten feet away!"

Yan Ping's eyes began to reddened slightly, he was really sad in his heart, and even the tone of his speech began to tremble.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu...... How can you tell me to stand this? How to eat?! ”

"Obviously, anyone can use these two mirrors, and I am a descendant of Vientiane Gate. It makes sense that I should have taken on a more important position. ”

"But Elder Ge just let me take charge of the two-sided mirror, so what?"

Without waiting for Gu Changsheng to reply, Yan Ping had already answered loudly by himself.

"This is for your sake, and I value you!"

Yan Ping's words are sonorous, and he seems to have a sound on the ground. At the moment, the mood fluctuates a lot, and even the chest is up and down.

And if ordinary people are scolded in person at this time, I am afraid that they will feel a little guilty.

But......

Gu Changsheng is not a mortal.

He maintained that unhappy and sad expression from beginning to end, and at this moment, he heard Yan Ping's series of complaints, but finally opened his mouth slightly.

Then he sighed softly.

"So what?"

Gu Changsheng said this sentence calmly.

But it made Yan Ping, who was already sad and abnormal in his heart, stunned at this moment.

"Brother Yan, I thought you were so excited, but there was something important in my heart that I couldn't say. But now it seems that ...... But it's just such a small thing? ”

Although Gu Changsheng had no intention of mocking at all, at this moment, he did show a somewhat regretful expression.

"Superficial."

You only see me before others in everything, step by step before others.

But how do you know what I've been through, what I've seen, and what I've understood?

If it had been earlier, Gu Changsheng might have thought about it because of Yan Ping's speech...... Are you too blunt, or are you too dazzling?

But today, he has no such thoughts.

Human thoughts, thoughts, and even volumes are finite things after all.

If you stretch it, lay it out, and then embed it into this string that spans thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of that body are like ants in the mountains, inconspicuous things like a drop in the sea.

I saw Gu Changsheng step forward, crossed Yan Ping's side, and walked straight forward.

"You said you worked hard for ten years, what's the problem with that?"

"Brother Yan, you and I both understand that a monk is a derivative of something extraordinary. Whether it's you or me...... It is only by the grace of some great power that they can have such abilities. ”

"Since the living beings are in the front, they have their own likes and dislikes. If you and I can't do this, why should we only add to our troubles? ”

It is true that everyone can have jealousy.

I can't see people's goodness, and I can't see others happy. It is human nature to do such evil deeds.

But it is precisely because of this that the importance of parenting is highlighted.

"With great ability comes great responsibility."

"Brother Yan, you only know that I have performed extraordinarily and have been able to be active in front of the Pavilion Elder. But do you know...... What kind of effort have I put in behind this? ”

Gu Changsheng visited the temples in the Tianli period, and also walked through the bustling streets in the Huanglong period.

He even created a bad relationship that spanned thousands of years.

It also reversed the fate of the Buddhist sect that had become a foregone conclusion.

And this twisty and tortuous story has not come to an end at this moment. Gu Changsheng also needs to be entangled and wandered back in this short history for the sake of the truth and many tragedies.

And all of this is what the person named 'Gu Changsheng' saw, did, and remembered.

"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Brother Yan, it won't be useful to feel sorry for yourself. ”

"Instead of complaining about your background, your talent. It's better to squeeze some more time and work harder...... As the so-called heavenly way of vitality, keep a line for yourself. ”

"If not, who knows if everything is a certainty?"

"As for what to do with the mirror......

"Brother Yan, Orange Island is still too small. If you have the opportunity, why not go to the mainland to see how long you can see? ”

Have you ever fed people with your body, and lived day and night in the earth for a thousand years?

Gu Changsheng couldn't say this sentence after all, until in the end, he had to glance at Yan Ping meaningfully, and then he turned around and rushed ahead without looking back.

Only Yan Ping, who was slightly stunned, was left, and after a short silence, he returned to the road.

But this time, he never walked with Gu Changsheng again—he was far behind, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was ......

Don't dare to come forward again, continue to walk side by side.

So, I remembered. ’

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly at this moment, because with the limelight of this matter at the moment, he also understood...... The last time I was in the nightmare space, why did I see such a scene?

Yan Ping: He has some flaws in his character.

So in that story line, Yan Ping can still survive after the fall of Dongcheng. ’

He may have had his own choice at the moment of defeat.

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng's gaze also became a little deeper.

'There is indeed some kind of basis for the storyline of Nightmare Space. ’
