Chapter Eighty-Six: The Second Spring Water!]
"Faith ......," Medusa's voice whispered, and then she asked again, "But, isn't this knight already reneging on his faith? ”
"It's differently. Du Wei said calmly: "Everyone has faith in their hearts. Although Hussein has renounced his former beliefs, it does not mean that he has no faith in his heart! However, when he has given up a belief, he has a new belief in his heart and takes his place! This is the common xìng of human beings, and every human being, a living person, must have his own belief in his heart, whether this belief is righteous or evil. Only people with conviction in their hearts can have enough courage and strength. The stronger the belief, the stronger the power, and driven by this power, it will either last for a hundred years or be remembered for thousands of years!"
Speaking of this, Du Wei seemed to smile: "Having said so much, how much do you understand?"
"I don't know. Medusa said in a deep voice: "Greed...... Nostalgia...... Weak...... Cold...... Lonesome...... Also, faith...... These are what you call 'people xìng'. This thing is too complicated. ”
"It's complicated by the beginning. Du Wei said quickly: "Human beings are the most complex creatures in the world, and human beings are the most emotionally rich among all living beings, and they know love, family, friendship, and the most emotional. But at the same time, it is the most brutal. The whole history of mankind is just a process in which human beings themselves are fighting back and forth, you kill me, and I kill you...... Medusa, if you think that just by peeking into the hearts of the three of us in such a short time, you can understand or grasp people. Then you are wrong. ”
Speaking of this, Du Wei smiled: "Now, tell me, have I passed the test?"
After being quiet for a long time, he sighed: "Yes, you passed." ”
Du Wei soon met the legendary Medusa.
Right in this empty hall, right in front of this wall!
among the walls. There was a rustling sound, and then a figure slowly stepped out of the stone wall...... It was as if her whole body was stone, or perhaps she had merged into the stone walls themselves.
Queen Medusa. She is, of course, a woman.
The moment she stepped out of the stone wall, the stone all over her body began to fade slowly, and the gray, hard, and cold skin began to turn delicately white, looking smooth and soft, and her hair gradually became shiny and soft.
The contours of her face began to sharpen...... And it's beautiful!
Even Du Wei had to admit that the Queen Medusa in front of him. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life and in his life! Every bit of skin, every curve, is as if it were the most perfect work created by the Creator after rigorous calculations. Her legs, her waist, her hips, her arms, her breasts, every proportion seemed to have reached perfection. Plus the snake land is naturally charming. Make every movement, every subtle movement. All with a charm that borders on seduction.
However, all this is nothing more...... What really makes Du Wei sluggish is her face!
It can be said that this is a face that can make a man crazy! Du Wei couldn't even find the right words to describe such a beautiful face for a while...... For a while, even the words "alluring the country and the city" were far from enough to describe such a unique place!
Du Wei only knew that he had froze, as if he was a blind man who had regained his sight, and was shocked by the look in front of him, this kind of look that can shock people's souls!
Du Wei bet that at least such a beautiful woman would never exist in the world......! Well, it will definitely be a disaster!
Oh, my God...... Just looking at those red lips, Du Wei was already sighing.
There are many beautiful women, Du Wei has seen a lot, but the beauty is almost a catastrophic level, then, the Queen Medusa in front of him is definitely the first!
And...... She, still with her eyes closed!
Du Wei dared to guarantee that if she opened her eyes, even if it was only a third of the brilliance of this face...... God, what would Queen Medusa's eyes look like? What could such a beautiful face be adorned with a pair of eyes like stars and jewels...... Then, her face is enough to murder the hearts of most men in this world!
This Queen Medusa, she's so beautiful...... Beautiful......
It's so beautiful that it's not human! It's horribly beautiful!!
After a long while, Du Wei came back to his senses, and then the first thing he did was to take a deep breath, so that his lungs, which had forgotten to breathe and lack of oxygen because of sluggishness, were relaxed.
Thankfully, you've been living here and haven't been seen by humans from other lands. Du Wei made an evaluation: "Otherwise, with your beauty, even if you are a terrifying Medusa, there will definitely be human powers who are crazy for you, and even do not hesitate to launch a war to seize your land!"
"Is this also a human being?" asked Medusa softly.
Standing in front of Du Weidi, Medusadi's voice was no longer the hoarse and deep voice, it was obvious that her voice had just oscillated through the stone wall, obscuring her original voice...... And the real Medusa sound, of course, is very good.
Du Wei was very satisfied with this...... It's just a natural state of mind, and if you see such a beautiful woman who is enough to murder a man's heart, but she makes that kind of harsh and ugly sound, it's simply a ...... Sin!
Thankfully, her voice sounded like the gentle flow of water in a chūn stream.
"It's okay...... Du Wei smiled, "but you look like you." If it were really placed in the human world, it would definitely cause a war between men. ”
"But I'm not human. Medusa replied with a hint of sadness.
Then, she walked gently to Du Weidi's side, "Gargamel said that most humans are afraid of me. Medusa is a terrifying monster to humans, a terrifying being...... Why, aren't you afraid of me? I can feel your power...... Not powerful. ”
"It's not 'not strong', if it's relative to you. My strength is almost weak. Du Wei smiled: "But, why should I be afraid of you?"
"I don't know, but Gargamel says that humans are afraid of Medusa. She shook her head, closed her eyes, and with a casual gesture of her hand, her slender fingertips running through the air. On the surface of the stone slab next to it, slowly, the stone slab rolled like dough, and finally a stone chair wriggled out of the stone, and Medusa sat down calmly. Facing Du Wei: "You came to see me, and now you do." ”
"Yes, I saw it. Du Wei sighed: "I don't see the Queen Medusa that makes humans smell and change, not some top-level magical beast that will kill and turn people into stone with impunity...... I saw the land, just a secluded place in the world, lonely inside, empty inside, looking for faith...... Poor woman. Oh, and one more thing: a beautiful snake who doesn't like to be chéngrén. ”
You're interesting. is an interesting human being. Medusa lowered her head for a moment, then seemed to smile: "Although I don't have much contact with humans. You are other than Gargamel. The second one talks a lot to me about human beings. Originally, I was going to kill you and your companions. Because although I am not human, I don't understand human beings. But at least, I don't like to be interrupted. ”
Du Wei was silent.
Indeed, after all, the other party used to be a golden-eyed python, and she was more close to the "beast".
"I know, that's why I dared to come to see you. Du Wei said very frankly: "Because I know that you are not the kind of monster who is simply murderous and evil as the legend...... You're just...... I beg your pardon for the words. You're just 'ignorant'. ”
Medusa didn't care: "You're right, I'm 'ignorant'. At least I don't know anything about human beings. ”
It's as if humans always describe a certain beast of prey as fierce, a wolf as cruel, a fox as cunning, and a certain beast as terrible...... In fact, these are all measured by human standards, or by human beings.
But whether it's a wolf, a fox, or a terrifying monster...... Are they really bad? Are they really "evil" and "terrible"? Of course not...... Because, they just survive normally according to their own race.
Wolves are born to eat meat, and lions and tigers are born to hunt and kill prey, which is the law of the world, and it cannot be said that they are evil or ferocious because of this.
Medusa, too.
"So, human, tell me what you mean. Medusa asked softly. She sat delicately in the stone chair, her head hanging and her cheek gently with one hand.
"Originally, I came here for that green chūn fountain. Du Wei smiled: "But now it seems that that thing is not a useful thing." That thing didn't seem to be of much use to humans, other than to freeze form. It seems to only work on Warcraft or Treants...... Oh, are you going to kill us because of this? I've heard that you killed all the guys who came to the land with Gargamel because of the idea of fighting this spring. ”
Medusa smiled, she was really smiling, this expression made her a little more human: "That was back then...... At that time, I didn't understand, I was just a humanoid snake, no one taught me people, I just simply knew that if an outsider entered my territory, I would kill the other party. It's as simple as that...... You should thank Gargamel, he taught me at least some human habits, otherwise I'd have killed you when you walked into the canyon today. ”
It doesn't matter where I come from, for I've lost interest in the spring since I've spoken with Gargamel, but my two companions have other destinations. Du Wei felt that it was better to tell the truth in front of this Medusa land. Maybe you might get a little bit of good.
"One of my companions, his master has been cursed by petrification, and he must have the eyes of the golden-eyed python to save him, and we came to the frozen forest to find the golden-eyed python. Du Wei glanced at Medusa cautiously as he said this.
"So you had the idea of beating me up?" said Medusa, expressionless, her face unrecognizable to see whether she was happy or angry.
"It used to be the earth, but it's not anymore. Du Wei smiled: "I think, as the ultimate evolution of the golden-eyed python. You should have a way to save that petrified curse...... I'm not trying to get your eyes. ”
"Why should I help you?" Medusa, still speaking, said, "Gargamel has taught me that humans usually have a way of 'trading', that is, there is a price for making demands. ”
"I'm a very good teacher. Du Wei smiled: "You are a snake who does not want to be human, but you have no choice now." So, I'm willing to teach you a lot of human habits. Of course, most importantly, people xìng. ”
"Everything?"
"Everything. Du Wei replied affirmatively: "But I don't guarantee that you will find it pleasant, because human life is not a purely pleasant process in the first place." There is sweetness and pain in people. If you want to experience the local dialect, I can teach you more. For example, I can teach you the first lesson right now. ”
Medusa was silent for a moment: "What?"
"Lonely. Du Wei said lightly: "You are very lonely." Your face, your voice, your speech, and you
The party that lives in this ...... Everything points to this. ”
"I'm lonely. Medusa nodded: "If loneliness is what you said before, then you are right." ”
"Do you like it?" said Du Wei smiled.
Medusa thought for a long time, thought for a long time, and then she shook her head slowly.
"Then it's very simple, I can get you out of loneliness. Du Wei said: "Humans are social animals. If you don't want to be lonely, you first have to communicate with other humans. For example, find your friends, or, companions.
Then, Du Wei asked the second question: "Do you have conviction in your heart?"
"Nope. This time Medusa replied quickly. For a person who had been asleep, waking up only once every ten years, she did not have any faith in life.
"People need faith, they need purpose in life...... Even if it's just a little bit of interest, a little bit of subtle things that can arouse your interest. Du Wei smiled even more happily this time: "Trust me. When it comes to fun and interesting things, no one in this world is more knowledgeable than me. ”
After these two questions. Du Wei asked a third question: "Did we close the deal?"
Answer...... Go without saying.
·
When Hussein woke up, he lay in the hall the same way that Du Wei woke up from his vision. Dardanelles lay beside him.
Also, the poor rat prime minister, Gargamel, sat beside him, and the rat prime minister had a worried expression on his face, and following his gaze, Hussein saw Du Wei walking towards him with a smile.
Behind Du Weidi, a woman stood.
Hussein immediately jumped up from the top, but before the knight could move, Du Wei had already shouted: "Alright, Hussein, come, meet our new partner." ”
There was no need to introduce it, because Gargamel had already fallen on it, and his body trembled, and he looked at the woman, and his whole body twisted into a ball of flesh.
"This is our new partner, Queen Medusa. Dewey said, pulling Dardanelle up and stuffing him with something, a small stone bottle.
"Take it, it's a piece of Queen Medusa's hair, and when you bring it back, when you take it out of the bottle, it will turn into a sleeping golden-eyed python. Use it to save your Marquise. Du Wei said with a smile.
Dardanelle didn't know whether it was shocked or dazed, took the thing, Du Wei had already walked over with a smile, and patted Hussein: "My friend, don't be stunned, now, Her Majesty is about to take us to see the fountain of youth, don't you really want to see where Aragorn went back then? Now, let's go." ”
Hussein was also shocked by the astonishing beauty of Queen Medusa, who pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and then lowered it again, and after listening to Du Weidi's words, he was even more at a loss.
"Well, now is not the time to draw your sword. Du Wei patted Hussein lightly on the shoulder, and then chuckled in a low voice, "I saw you successfully advance to the rank of Paladin in your dream...... Speaking of which, I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen. ”
Watching Duvey pull Hussein towards the door of the main hall behind him, Medusa walked in front without saying a word, like a ghost.
Dardanelle was awakened from his wandering mind with a Gargamel sigh.
The rat prime minister was moaning: "He...... What is this boy doing? The gods are above...... He seems to be getting along well with the Queen?Or am I dreaming?Could I still be in a fantasy?Or is it ...... The legend is true?!Oh my God, he won't ...... He won't ......"
"What are you mumbling?" Dardanelle frowned.
"Haven't you heard of the legends?" Gargamel glared at Dardanelle, "Legend of Queen Medusa." ”
Dardanelle shook his head.
"Legend ......" Gargamel sighed, glanced at the backs of Du Wei and the others, and said in a low voice: "Ancient texts record that in addition to Medusa's terrifying strength, there is a special point...... That is, if when she weeps for anything...... It doesn't matter if that guy is a man, a woman, a human, or a monster, if she can draw tears from Medusa for the first time in her life, then Medusa will forever fall in love with the creature for whom she sheds tears. I said, "Your young companion, he won't have the idea of hitting the ground, right?"
Dardanelle didn't hear Gargamel's words clearly, he rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Strange...... Why did I wake up and this kid actually solved the problem?"
He touched the stone bottle that Duveser had given him...... There's a Medusa hair in it, which can be transformed into a sleeping Golden-eyed Python...... Dardanelle is finally fully awake!
The Marquise is saved!!
"The spring is here. Medusa pointed in front of her.
In the corner of the main hall, Medusa casually recited a few incantations, and the stone slabs in front of her were quietly opened, and then a stone sculpture jīng chic fountain slowly emerged below.
"This is what you are looking for in the Fountain of Youth. After Medusa's introduction, Du Wei was a little disappointed.
Seem...... Nothing special.
However, then Medusa said something underneath, which surprised Du Wei!
"This is the first spring, do you want to see another spring in this canyon?"
"There's a spring in this canyon? What is that?" said Dewey, turning his head to look at Medusa in surprise.
"I don't know what it is. Medusa replied coldly: "However, that spring water happens to be the exact opposite of the green chūn fountain, so I named it myself, called ...... Time passes. ”
