Chapter 198: Another World
Chapter 198
Roach was silent for a long time, the new information scorching his daily knowledge.
"I don't think I'm a talker." The old man said casually, looking at Luo Qi with one eye, "Maybe Du Zhengyi feels that he has an obligation to guard the secret of Lonely Mountain." But, kid, have you ever heard of the Three Mages Keeping the Secret Spell? ”
Rocky shook his head blankly.
The old man put down his glass and explained the theorem to the boy earnestly, "Three mages can keep a secret if and only if one of them kills two of them. ”
Roach was stunned, "Is this still a sufficient and necessary condition?" ”
"Sufficient and necessary conditions." Wan Pei nodded in affirmation.
"When Pei Shu talked to you about the ferry ticket, didn't he ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement?" Rock said preoccupiedly.
"Since he's a smart man, he knows it's useless." Wan Pei said, "It depends on where things are placed, every once in a while, every year or a few years, there will be many people who get ferry tickets." Will they all keep their mouths shut and not say goodbye to their relatives and friends? In this magical world, if you live long enough, you will definitely hear about it. ”
Luo Qihu asked suspiciously, "Immortality should be regarded as the most tempting thing in the world, right?" Since someone knows about this news, someone has had other thoughts, right? ”
"What do you think a lonely mountain guard like Du Zhengyi is used for?" Wan Pei grinned.
Luo Qi was stunned, and instantly recalled the reason for Du Zhengyi's injury, Mahjong said that he was in Lonely Mountain at the time, and he was guarding something. If you connect these together, Du Zhengyi was performing the duty of guarding in the lonely mountain at that time, and he was guarding the secret of immortality, and he was seriously injured for this secret.
His heart pounded, and Rocky roared angrily, "This is ridiculous!" ”
He guards the secret of other people's immortality, he almost died for this, he is extremely weak for this, and in the end he will not be able to live long because of this.
He remembered the argument between the one-eyed veteran and Du Zhengyi, and he remembered that Wan Pei's suspicion of Qionglin at that time was the same as today, and Du Zhengyi's trust and loyalty to Qionglin was exactly the same as his lifelong virtue. "Then Du Zhengyi, what other qualifications does he have to argue with you like that?"
"I think he'll be more qualified to be loyal to Jonlin because of this." The old man said, "This seems to be a paradox, but Pei Shu's refusal to help his favorite child just proves Pei Shu's selflessness and Qionglin's justice." If you know Du Zhengyi, I think you will understand that he has always wanted a meaning, and now this incident just gives him a meaning. ”
"What is the meaning of bullshit?" Roach exclaimed, "The world is absurd, what kind of bullshit is meaning?" I don't want meaning, I just want Du Zhengyi to live, because I am very happy when he is alive, and I am happy that this world is meaningful to me, otherwise it is meaningless. ”
The old man looked into Roach's eyes with interest, "Are all children like you now?" ”
"What's wrong with me?" Roach glared at him, "Did I hurt anyone?" Am I happy to be harmful to whom? My actions are harmless to anyone, so why should I count myself as self? Am I living without the right to pursue happiness? Does Du Zhengyi not have the right to pursue survival? Whose interests does Pei Shu represent? What common interests, what great causes, how can this be exactly the same as what the Lotus Burner said? No wonder the Lotus Burners thought that Qionglin was no different from them at all? Who will Pei Shu? He is the judge who weighs the soul? In his place, he weighed the weight of the soul? Why is Du Zhengyi's soul not enough? Does he have a certificate of identification? Is the proof just? Do I have the right to know? ”
"Look." The old man said lightly, "You have been poisoned by humans, and they will definitely say that you have been messed up by humans." They also refused to tell me if those high-anti teenagers I was ordered to arrest were really high-anti? How many percent of them are likely to be high in the future? How long will they be held, and when will it be a game? If I ask too much, even Du Zhengyi doesn't think it's reasonable. ”
Luo Qi lowered his head tiredly, rubbed his hands on his face, "Don't think about right or wrong first, grandpa, let's think about it together with our brains, does such a thing as immortality really exist?" ”
The old man was silent for a moment, as if he was also making a final assessment and deliberation, and finally said cautiously, "As far as I know, this should be true. ”
Roach looked at him, his eyes glazed, the news irritated him, he had never expected such a situation to arise. But deep down, he knew that he had been expecting news like this, and he knew that something existed. Some paradoxes have always existed, some signs he can't turn a blind to, and some people have been reluctantly approaching the secrets of the lonely mountain.
The old man added, "I said, if you live long enough, you will definitely hear about it, even more than once." I have also said goodbye to others, it was a much better mage than me, and he said a lot to me, far more than Pei Shu said to me when it was my turn. The old man was a teacher of the past and the present, and he had done much research on the way he lived forever. According to his research, he believed that all information was contained in the legends of antiquity. ”
"I can write fifty of those legends in one afternoon." Luo Qi said, suddenly reaching out and grabbing his hair, rubbing the hair on the top of his head, he didn't look like Du Zhengyi at all.
"Calm down, child, you have to be a little patient to be a mage, otherwise it will not be easy to survive for more than two hundred years." The old man said.
"Well, what the hell is that?" Lodge looked at the old warrior.
"The teacher thinks that the focus is on the legend of regaining a young body." Wan Pei said, "Get a young body and be reborn in another world. ”
"Which world?" Roach asked, "Which other world do we have, and which world can be reached by boat?" ”
"What's our mage's way of traveling, kid, haven't you used the Pendragon Orbital System?" "We travel through space, we travel in the shortest way between two points, we fold space. ”
Roach finally understood, "So there's not really any ship, is there?" Maybe it's a door to another dimension? The Lone Mountain Guard is a gatekeeper? ”
He believed that there was a better world, and that aging mages would pass through the gates of the depths of the Lonely Mountain to reach that world after gaining a young body. You can call that world whatever you want, heaven, Elysium, in short, that's about the place. Wan Pei said.
