The next day, Zhang Ziyu got up very early.

He came to the living room, sat on the sofa, stared at the empty projection wall opposite for a while, took out his mobile phone, found Ling Shijian's number, and dialed again.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot toot! ”

This time, the phone rang twice and was hung up.

“？”

He looked at the dialing screen and frowned.

I couldn't get through all night, and I finally got through, but I didn't answer?

"Dada!"

There was a knock on the door.

He turned his head to look at the door, and he understood why Ling Shijian hung up the phone. I got up and walked over, opened the door, and sure enough, she was right outside the door.

She wore a loose blue and white tracksuit, tied in a ponytail, and her hands were in her pockets, panting.

He looked at her and saw that her face was pale and her forehead was sweating.

"You're hurt?" He asked.

She shook her head, pushed him away, and walked into the house.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ziyu turned around, followed her back with his eyes and asked, "Shouldn't you go for a morning run?" ”

Ling Shijian walked past the partition, glanced left and right in the room, then turned right, walked to the sofa and sat down.

Zhang Ziyu closed the door, turned around and leaned against the partition wall, looked at the girl on the sofa, and said, "You didn't kill anyone, right?" ”

The girl on the sofa held her coat pocket in her hand, tilted her head, looked over, and asked, "Do I look like the kind of demon monk who kills people without blinking?" ”

Zhang Ziyu stared at her for a while, and saw that although her face was pale, she felt that her state was very relaxed, not like the state after being injured, nor like the state of killing someone.

…… If she could kill so indifferently and disregard life so indifferently, then he could only blame himself for being blind.

"It's good if you don't kill anyone......," he nodded, "It's not worth it to kill this kind of shitty waste, and then delay yourself." ”

"So......" Ling Shijian asked, "what kind of person am I in your eyes?" A murderous boss? ”

"Not really." Zhang Ziyu shook his head and said, "I remember that when you were in high school, you always dreamed of fighting the sword world and doing chivalrous justice. I think that such a chivalrous you, even if you go to cultivate immortals, you will not become a murderous demon. ”

He thought back to his relationship with Ling Shijian during this time, and knew that her temperament hadn't changed much.

"It's just ......," he said, "I think you're not in a normal state at the moment, and your mood swings are too great." If you are in that cold state, it does not rule out the possibility that you are thirsty for killing. ”

He looked at Ling Shijian, saw that there was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and asked, "Am I right?" You're not in a normal state, right? ”

Ling Shijian nodded.

Zhang Ziyu's expression froze, and he continued to speculate: "It should be that you have cultivated some exercises, or you are in a certain cultivation realm, which causes your mental state to be unstable......

"I think that if you come back to me and want to marry me, it should have something to do with this."

Although he knew that Zhang Ziyu was very smart, Ling Shijian didn't expect him to guess so accurately.

She was surprised and asked, "And then?" ”

"But, after all, I'm just a mortal. There is only so much I can do to help. Zhang Ziyu said.

At this point, Zhang Ziyu's speculation was eighty percent accurate, but Ling Shijian suddenly found that Zhang Ziyu seemed to be a little cramped.

Her smart little head reacted instantly, her eyes narrowed, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was a very bad look, she nodded again, "um", and motioned for Zhang Ziyu to continue.

"Ahem......" Zhang Ziyu paused and said in a low voice, "I'm more or less a normal and healthy man......"

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously looked at Ling Shijian, from that stunning face, to the chest that supported the sportswear, and then down, to the pair of plump and powerful long legs......

So thinking of some inappropriate pictures for children, he moved his Adam's apple, swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to say the next words.

Seeing Zhang Ziyu looking at himself like this, Ling Shijian laughed, but looked at him lightly.

Seeing that he consciously withdrew his rude gaze, she still looked at him, and saw that he was embarrassed, so she raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Obscene!!

"The master is right, men don't have a good thing! You can't find anything in your mind but that little bit of yellow waste. ”

"Ahem!"

It seems that he guessed wrong, Zhang Ziyu raised his head, looked past the Lingshi Sword, and looked out the window.

There are children's skills in martial arts novels, and what are the double cultivation techniques, he thought that Lingshi Jian had cultivated exercises that needed to break his body......

"But ......," he suddenly heard Ling Shijian continue, "you're not entirely wrong. ”

"Uh-huh???"

Zhang Ziyu's eyes instantly widened, and he looked down and looked back at the Lingshi Sword.

"I mean!" Ling Shi Jianqiao had a sinister face and roared, "Your inference process is right, but the result is completely wrong!" ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Ziyu nodded and looked out the window again.

…… It seems a little lost.

Ling Shijian adjusted his mood, returned to his normal tone, and continued: "You guessed it right, my state is indeed not stable,...... It is the influence of the realm of cultivation.

Xiu Xian asked, but he was going against the sky. In mythological novels, Sun Wukong's cultivation of seventy-two changes has three calamities; In modern novels, cultivating to a certain level requires crossing the catastrophe. I'm in the so-called tribulation stage right now......"

"Crossing the ......," Zhang Ziyu asked, "will the thunder come to hack you?" ”

Ling Shijian rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that level yet." ”

"Then what kind of catastrophe did you pass?"

"Heart ......" Ling Shijian looked at Zhang Ziyu and didn't continue.

Heartbeat.

He guessed right, she needed him to get through the catastrophe, but what she needed was not his body, but his feelings.

"No matter what calamity I do, I won't kill people indiscriminately." "...... It won't hurt you. ”

It's just that Zhang Ziyu is so smart, when the answer of flesh is ruled out, he has vaguely guessed something.

He looked at the Lingshi Sword and didn't continue to ask, just said, "So you can control yourself?" ”

"Yes." Ling Shijian nodded, but added, "If you can't, you can control ......"

Zhang Ziyu's gaze drifted away. I don't know if I thought of something sad, or if I thought of some yellow picture.

“ok！ Are you sure you won't kill people casually......" Zhang Ziyu brought the topic back to the beginning and asked, "Then tell me what you went to do last night?" ”

"Someone tried to kill you, and it didn't work, but I have to let them know that I can't do it again." Lingshi Kendo, "At the same time, let them have a long memory."

"I went to find Li Weiming. Li Weiming cut off Li Xiang's hand. ”

Zhang Ziyu's heart jumped, chopping his hands?

"Do you want to see it?" Ling Shijian asked.

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Ziyu hurriedly said.

But a strange cleanliness suddenly rose in his heart: You, I covered you.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it clean?" ”

"Clean?" Ling Shijian was puzzled.

"That's it, you let others teach you a lesson...... Zhang Ziyu frowned, "Others won't let you learn a lesson in turn?" Retribution for injustice, beating the small to the old, beating the old to the ancestors. Isn't that common sense? ”

"Well...... "It's just the richest man in Jiangzhou, what old can there be?" Ling Shijian said indifferently, "It's okay, they don't dare, they can't beat me." ”

"Are you amazing?" Zhang Ziyu asked.

"A little bit." Ling Shijian replied with a red face.

"There's no better place in the world than you?" Zhang Ziyu asked again.

"That's not true, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." Lingshi Kendo, "There are many people who are better than me. ”

"Then you are so arrogant?!" Zhang Ziyu said.

Ling Shijian's lips twitched, and she wanted to say that there were not many people who were better than her in the territory of Xiaojiangzhou, but she still didn't say it.

"Even if there is no one more powerful than you in this world." Zhang Ziyu taught, "But open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, what if someone uses conspiracy and trickery?"

"If you specifically target your weaknesses, for example, use me, use your parents, and use Ling Feiyu to coerce you, how will you deal with it then?"

Ling Shijian didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about that kind of picture.

"That's it!" She stood up with a "swoop", stretched out her hand to stop Zhang Ziyu from continuing, and said, "This matter is over here."

"It's time to get to work!"

Saying that, she walked towards the door, ready to go back to washing, changing clothes and going to work, but she walked in front of Zhang Ziyu, but found that Zhang Ziyu did not move at all.

The face is not quite right.

Ling Shijian looked at him, realized something, and said, "Go to work?" ”

Zhang Ziyu didn't look at her, and turned his head to look away.

"Not really, right?" Ling Shijian's eyes widened, "It's just a hand...... It's really not good, how do you act in the future, can you arrange it? ”

"I've decided to quit." Zhang Ziyu said expressionlessly.

"What?" Ling Shijian didn't hear clearly.

Or did she not understand, didn't she just explain everything clearly? What does it mean to quit in the blink of an eye?

"Last night, I didn't sleep all night, and I called you all night." Zhang Ziyu muttered, "I'm worried that you will disappear like seven years ago; I was also afraid that when I got up in the morning and watched the news, I would see someone fishing out of the Yangtze River for an unknown female corpse. ”

Ling Shijian was silent.

"You are an immortal cultivator, and I am a mortal. We are no longer people of the world. There was no emotion in Zhang Ziyu's voice, "Forcibly being together will only bring me endless danger." Like yesterday's murder without warning.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not worthy of you."

Ling Shijian thought of the inexplicable hostility yesterday, and remembered what Zhang Ziyu had just said, if the enemy threatened her with him......

She bowed her head and was silent.

After a while, she raised her head again, looked at Zhang Ziyu, and said, "Okay, I allow you to resign!" But before you leave your job, there's one thing you want to do for me. ”

Zhang Ziyu leaned against the wall and looked at the Lingshi Sword in front of him. He knew about the Spirit Sword, if she hadn't changed over the years.

She aspires to be a chivalrous heroine in costume dramas, and she has always been cheerful and generous, but sometimes, she will also play petty.

Like at this time.

knew that he was determined to leave, and normal means couldn't keep him, so he played this kind of cautious and petty means.

However, he sighed in his heart and said, "Say." ”

"Help me solve the Lu family." Lingshi Kendo.

“！” Zhang Ziyu smiled, and he asked, "Do you think I can bring down the Lu family?" ”

"When I came back, I only contacted you." Lingshi Kendao, "Of all the people I know, you are also the smartest. ”

Zhang Ziyu shook his head and said: "The Lu family has been entrenched in Shushan Steel for many years, and it is deeply rooted, plus Lu Lianghong behind it, what can I do as a little technician?"

"What's more, I don't understand anything about management, power struggles."

"If you don't help me, I'll solve it my way." Ling Shijian said coldly.

Zhang Ziyu was stunned: "Your way?" ”

Ling Shijian raised her hand, and between her palms, a sword loomed, she stared at him, her eyes were sharp, and said, "Kill them all!" ”

Zhang Ziyu's face changed slightly: "What about not killing people just now?" ”

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." Lingshi Kendao, "I don't care about Shushan Steel, I don't care at all." I came to Shushan Iron and Steel to come for you. But if they do it to you, then I'm going to do it to them. ”

This time it was Zhang Ziyu's turn to be silent, he knew in his heart that this was Ling Shijian playing a petty temper and threatening him, in order to make him stay.

But he looked at the spirit poetry sword that was full of anger, and thought, what if?

If he leaves, does Lingshi Sword really want to avenge him? It's not impossible.

What's more, does he really want to go?

Are you willing to henceforth and never owe each other and never see each other again?

He looked at her face and asked, "Why bother?" ”

"After you leave, I will be imprisoned in the realm of seeing the heart for the rest of my life...... Ling Shijian said coldly, "What is it to kill a few people?"

"Kill them, and I'll go back to the immortal realm."

"Alas......" Zhang Ziyu sighed.

"How?"

"If you want me to stay, you can ......," Zhang Ziyu said, "but you also have to promise me one condition." ”

"Good!" Ling Shijian was relieved and nodded.

"Teach me to practice." Zhang Ziyu said, "Let me have the power to protect myself." ”

"Good!" Ling Shijian nodded repeatedly, "No problem." ”

Zhang Ziyu frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that I don't have a talent for cultivation?" ”

"I'll figure out a way to do things related to cultivation...... Ling Shijian hurriedly pushed him to the bathroom, "Hurry up and wash up, I'm going to be late for work!" ”

Closing the door of the bathroom, Zhang Ziyu looked at himself in the mirror, with deep dark circles under his eyes, bloodshot eyes, and a tired face. I didn't sleep all night last night.

He smiled wryly.

"What are you doing?" He asked himself in the mirror.

The man in the mirror replied: "If you fall in love with someone, you should pay some price." ”

Outside the bathroom, Ling Shijian leaned against the door, closed his eyes, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

She kept scolding herself in her heart and scolding herself for being selfish.

In "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", the Sword Saint taught the wine sword fairy: "If you don't pick up the emotional thing, how can you put it down?" ”

Affection, for both men and women, is a tangible feeling.

So, which one is harder, pick up or put down?

For cultivators, perhaps, it is more difficult to pick up, right? Because she knew she would eventually let go. She picked it up in order to put it down.

This is the heart calamity, this is the state of mind. See the heart, then ask the heart. This is the only way to the avenue, and it cannot be avoided or bypassed.
