Chapter 20: The Choice of the Heart
The length of the universe or the firmament, the seconds or the slightness of breath.
You stand still in the void, you sleep peacefully in your fate, you wake gently in the shadow of a great hourglass.
The gap in life is filled with compassion, and you are in this indifferent world.
All children with beautiful hopes and sorrows, all children before the age of twenty.
In the torrent of time, we will always grow up.
In our youth, there are always people who will go forward and succeed.
Our grief is always being played out.
We're all working hard, we're all growing.
That's enough.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Luo Shiyi Lang suddenly remembered Aunt Bai, maybe, I want to say goodbye to the most deutered person, or perhaps, I feel a little guilty, after all, I didn't help her find Tianxing, I didn't help her soul transcendence, and I didn't help her in any way. This soul who is different from us, a spirit from another world who trusts us.
In the evening, Luo Shiyi Lang didn't know why Lu Dao would pull Chen Xi'er, perhaps, it was also a kind of trust. A sense of security that has never been felt before.
The answer given by Luo Shiyi Lang was: You have light skills, you will take me faster!
Luo Shiyi Lang took Chen Xi'er from the ancient city of Galivia and arrived at the destination in less than half an hour, of course, Chen Xi'er did not fly with all his strength, but just flew for a while. The answer she gave was: Do you think I'm not tired of flying with you, a guy who weighs more than 100 pounds!
Luo Shiyi Lang is actually relatively thin, with a height of 1.85 meters, but he only weighs 70 kilograms. But compared with Chen Xi'er's figure of 1.68 meters but only 45 kilograms.
I don't think there's any need to compare.
Around midnight, they came to a huge mass grave in the mountains behind the ghost town.
In one day, the alternation of yin and yang begins in the early hours of the morning, the sun is hidden under the mountain, and the night takes over the day to take charge of nature, but at the beginning of the night, the yang energy in the white room has not completely dissipated, and although the yin energy begins to increase, it is thrown in a disadvantageous position. Until the early hours of the morning, all the yang energy dissipates, and the yin energy envelops the world, and then continues to increase, until the dawn breaks when the rooster crows, the yin energy in the world reaches its peak, at this time, the power of the ghost is unprecedentedly strong, so you can walk at night, but don't go out at dawn, unless you are particularly confident in your Tiangang qi.
Luo Shiyi Lang chose to come to see Aunt Bai at this time, and naturally he had his reasons: this time was the most comfortable for ghosts, and he didn't need to rely on his own yin qi to offset the erosion of yang qi, and he wouldn't be too strong because his yin qi was too strong and his body would be excited.
Of course, if he met a ghost at dawn, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with them. After all, this is a mass grave, not Aunt Bai's castle.
Chen Xi'er did not have a trace of fear, although she had also lived in the city outside, but after all, she was born and raised in the mountains, and these were already taken for granted. Nothing to fuss about, is it?
In fact, she is confident, and her spiritual power is not blown, and when she meets an ordinary ghost, she can be knocked out in an instant. If you meet an old ghost, you can't handle it, well, a warm current flows through your heart in an instant, every time you think of someone, there is always an indescribable sweetness in your heart, after all, you are really walking side by side with him at this moment.
And here in the ancient city, Meng Fence called everyone as if they had something to say. A toned figure always gives a sense of security. It's like my own brother.
Meng Liang looked at everyone with a wicked smile, and then asked: Have you seen anything wrong with Eleven Lang these days?
I can see it. Shangguan Jin hurriedly answered, as if he had picked up two hundred yuan. Brother Eleven Lang seems to have something in mind these days.
Then do you know what he thinks about it?
Of course, the girl's intuition tells me that he is reluctant to Sister Xi'er. When Shangguan Jin said this, the expression on his face was also bad. But she didn't notice Nan Jian's expression, when Nan Jian heard this, his heart was like a big stone that had been sinking, there was no sound, but she could feel the sour pain of pulling.
The unprecedented loneliness suddenly flooded all of Nanjian's skin. It's like soaking in icy cold water, isolating the sky, the earth, and time.
Dark.
Meng Li smiled, showing his beautiful teeth. But whatever the reason, he doesn't want to go back so quickly, at least you can see it.
Meng Li stretched out his index finger and hung it lightly on the tip of Shangguan Jin's nose, which was an action from small to big.
Meng Liang turned his gaze to Zhou Lun, and Zhou Lun seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong", Zhou Lun was obviously out of the situation.
Have you ever thought about not going back to Shanghai to go to university, I mean, if we can stay here, we can't give up our studies there? Meng Wei tried to phrase it as best he could, hoping that he would understand.
Uh··· Zhou Lun was silent, obviously at a loss.
Everyone was silent, as if waiting for his answer. Liu Snake doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere, as long as you can continue to learn Chinese medicine, the mountains are the best place to learn Chinese medicine, here is a natural medicine factory, but also a natural laboratory. And Meng Li doesn't care about these things at all, he has a similar personality to Luo Shiyilang, and he can give up anything for the sake of his brother, including his own life. As for Shangguan Jin, he will send her back, in fact, she shouldn't have appeared here at all, the danger here is obviously beyond the outside world, and he can't bear it. Moreover, he did not allow her to continue the adventure with them, and the children had had enough of playing, and it was time to go home and study.
In the evening, when Luo Shiyi Lang and Chen Xi'er came, it should be morning, and the fish belly white in the east was about to disappear, and the fireball as bright red as a heart was about to rush out of the horizon.
At this time, everyone hadn't gotten up yet, so Luo Shiyi Lang and Chen Xi'er decided to go back to the room to catch up on sleep. Of course, don't get me wrong, it's sleeping at the same time, but in different spaces, he goes back to his room, and she goes back to hers.
At noon, Luo Shilang and the others decided to go back to the snake mound, a warm shelter for them from the wind and rain. Staying there for the last night tonight is a souvenir.
When everyone came to the location of the snake mound, everyone looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, and asked each other if they had gone to the wrong place, and their hearts were all gone, although everyone knew very well in their hearts that they definitely did not go the wrong way, and this was where the snake mound was located. But for what, for what weeds, the tall trees are all gone, and in this barren clearing, all the original vegetation has been replaced by reeds, which are more than two meters, and some are even more than four meters!
Luo Shilang and the others cautiously walked into the area filled with reeds, as if they had walked into a huge lake.
These reeds that grow on the land hide the entrance to the snake mound tightly, and if it weren't for Luo Shishilang's familiarity with the direction of the entrance before this, I don't think they would have been able to find the snake mound.
When they all walked into the reeds, it was as if they had disappeared, and they could not hear or see the reeds that were caused by the movement of people in them.
In this deep mountain and old forest, it was difficult for them to find the breath of human beings after they were swallowed up by the huge reed army at once.
The height and prosperity of the reeds obscure the sky and the sun. It makes a loud sound like a wave in the wind.
After finding the entrance, everyone was as excited and happy as if they had found their own warm home. One by one, they couldn't wait to jump down.
Everything in the snake mound is so familiar, it really feels like home. Friends are the relatives we have carefully selected for ourselves, and the snake mound is the home that our relatives have carefully selected for themselves.
There is also Huahua, except for Nanjian and Chen Xi'er, everyone here owes Huahua a life. To be precise, it can't include Luo Shilang, who owes it two lives.
But I'm afraid it will be difficult to return in this life.
The road back to the snake mound was very slow, and the road that was not too long seemed to have become long and boundless.
In the afternoon, Luo Shiyi Lang did not follow them out to hunt, but sneaked into the deep pool alone and came to the tomb of the snake king. About a month ago, Luo Shiyi Lang jumped into the deep pool with Huahua, and then found this tomb, when Luo Shiyi Lang had just been rescued by Huahua and his body was extremely weak, so he gave Luo Shiyi Lang the cathode demon that he had cared for all his life.
All this has only been a month, but now that I think about it, I feel like there is a mountain, a sea, and a city in between. Let those memories that should have been in the purpose become trance-like, like a new photo that has just been developed, and inadvertently, when taken out of the drawer, it is found to be yellowed.
Youth inadvertently becomes old photos, and those old photos become our pitiful memories.
Seeing Luo Shilang coming in, Huahua coiled her whole body and raised her head high, looking very happy. Actually, during this time, it really missed Luo Shilang. It's just that it can't show it. It's just that he doesn't know what to do.
Like, I still love you. But I couldn't open my mouth anymore.
All the courage has been drained by the years, and all the perseverance has been weathered into sand, and the army has collapsed, but it will last forever.
Luo Shiyi Lang chose a place and sat down with the flowers, leaning against its cold back, it felt so warm, and his skin was as smooth as silk.
Luo Shiyi Lang relied on it and said a lot of things, a lot of thoughts that he couldn't show in front of his friends, a lot of reluctance, a lot of weakness as a man who couldn't show in front of others, even cowardice.
After the last, Luo Shiyi Lang finally cried, this was a tear that had been stored in his heart for a long time, and he rushed out all of a sudden, just like a crazy horse at the moment when the valve was opened on the racetrack, running forward without looking back.
Hot teardrops fell on Flowey's body, almost burning its skin.
In this way, Huahua patiently listened to the crying of a 1.85-meter-old man. When Luo Shiyilang's tears were about to dry up, Huahua jumped up, shook Luo Shiyi Lang, who was resting on his back, and rolled to the ground.
Just as Luo Shiyi Lang raised his head to look at Huahua in confusion, he met Huahua's head covered with patterns and spitting letters. Look at each other.
Luo Shiyi Lang smiled weakly and said, "What are you doing?" Then he reached out and stroked Flowey's face.
But the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and Huahua had already dodged it, escaping from Luo Shilang's warm palm.
Luo Shiyi Lang was about to cry again, tears were in his eyes, and the two black pupils were like pearls hidden in the bottom of the sea: Have you also tasted the taste of this parting? Are you afraid that I will miss you in the future, so you use such an indifferent attitude towards me? Luo Shiyi Lang stood there at a loss.
Flowey moved quickly, setting off a cold wind just like its skin, like the skin of all cold-blooded animals.
Huahua came to a few tombstones lying flat on the ground, Luo Shiyi Lang didn't see how it lifted these heavy tombstones, but saw those familiar swords again.
Do you want me to bring them back as a souvenir?
Huahua shook her head vigorously, her cold body gradually slid over the cold sword body, then turned her body, and turned her head to look at Luo Shiyilang, obviously, it was anxious at the moment, but Luo Shiyilang's heart was very calm, completely immersed in the calm of sadness, so he didn't notice it.
Flowey continued to hover around the sword, hissing from time to time, as if to go to war.
Suddenly, Luo Shiyi Lang finally understood, and said to Huahua with a slight smile: Do you want to play tricks with me and try my kung fu?
Flowey looked like she had a kind of relief of "thank goodness, this stupid melon finally got it". Then Huahua glanced at the sword in the grave again, and motioned for Luo Shilang to pick it up.
Flowey, do you want me to hold a sword? No, no, I don't know how to use a sword, I like it with my bare hands. Luo Shiyi Lang shook his fists as he spoke, with a bright smile on his face.
Flowey said "whatever you want" with a face, and then attacked ferociously. A move swept through the thousands of troops, accompanied by a huge air current, and rushed towards Luo Shiyilang.
This move is too fast, worthy of the forest python brothers who have lived for thousands of years. Luo Shiyi Lang took this blow firmly, not that he let Huahua and didn't want to hide, but he couldn't hide at all. Swept by Flowey's thick tail, his whole body flew up in the air, slammed into the cave wall, and several gravel slid down along with the falling body.
If it weren't for the cathode demon protector in your body, you would definitely crash into internal injuries this time, just imagine how you feel after a truck sped towards you and knocked you a few meters away.
Luo Shiyi Lang covered his chest with his right hand and breathed heavily, his face was distorted by pain, but the corners of his mouth were smiling brightly like a child. He liked the feeling, like when he was a child, he was writhing on the grass with his best brother, and he was so angry that his clothes and hair were covered in dust, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bright red in his nostrils.
Luo Shiyi Lang took a few steps forward, put on a posture, and said, "Let the horse come over." There was a glint of excitement in his eyes.
Dressed exactly like a college student in an international metropolis, with a fashionable hairstyle and a body full of luxuries. Such a fashionable person is now in a snake mound twenty or thirty meters underground with a forest python that has lived for thousands of years to learn martial arts and fight against spiritual power.
Huahua saw that Luo Shilang seriously opened the shelf, and looked more calm. How to say it, Luo Shiyilang's eyes are actually very fast, and ordinary hidden weapons can't hurt him, but at this moment, Huahua approached the keen Luo Shiyi Lang at a very fast speed, and wrapped around him hard.
Huahua's body wrapped Luo Shiyi Lang around one by one, and the speed was as fast as lightning. Counting in seconds would be too long.
Luo Shilang was wrapped in it, unable to move, and even had trouble breathing, because he had clearly felt that as he exhaled, Huahua's body would be wrapped a little tighter, a little tighter.
At that moment, Luo Shiyi Lang thought of the picture he had seen in "Man and Nature", the python wrapped around the antelope, and as the antelope breathed and exhaled, the python would wrap a little tighter, until all the air in the antelope's lungs was squeezed out, and the antelope suffocated to death after the finale, and before that, the antelope could clearly hear the crisp sound and severe pain that accompanied its ribs when they were strangled.
Thinking of this, a gust of wind blew in Luo Shilang's heart, as if it had been poured directly from the refrigerator. If he had a choice, he would rather this cold wind blow into his lungs.
At this moment, Luo Shiyi Lang was already seriously deprived of oxygen, and he tried his best to open his mouth wide, but he couldn't feel the slightest air, as if the surroundings had been pumped into a vacuum.
Luo Shilang's heart has been insisting, Huahua will be loosened soon, yes, it will definitely be loosened, it is my friend, and I am also its friend.
Not only did I feel like the air was being drained, but even my strength seemed to be being lost. I feel like my body is like an hourglass, but this hourglass has no bottom.
Although Luo Shilang's brain is gradually losing consciousness, his cortex has been helping him avoid the fact that Flowey is going to kill him.
He didn't want to believe it. Reluctance to admit it.
Luo Shilang's consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt that something was slowly leaving his body, getting lighter and lighter.
Later, a large puff of fresh air rushed into the lungs, and the weak body collapsed with the body that Flowey moved away. Luo Shiyilang, who fell to the ground, breathed heavily, and his violently undulating chest showed the unique strong silhouette of a man.
Luo Shiyi Lang laughed as if relieved, and crawled to Huahua next to him while laughing. When his face was pressed against Huahua's cold skin again, Luo Shiyi Lang let out an almost crazy laugh: I know that you are playing with me, you know that I am leaving, you are reluctant to me, you are reluctant to me.
Why shouldn't I? The tears in Luo Shilang's eyes slipped down again, and his hands hugged Huahua tighter.
It's like Huahua hugged Luo Eleven Lang just now.
When Luo Shiyi Lang swam up to the cave, it was already dark, and everyone was in the cave, lying on their own beds, and they were having a symposium, as if they were all happy.
Hearing the sound of the pool water, everyone knew that it was Luo Shilang who came up. Luo Shiyi Lang was really surprised to see everyone so happy when he came up.
But at the moment, he is in a pretty good mood, after all, he has already said all the words in his heart.
If a person has something on his mind, he doesn't tell others, but just blindly holds his heart, no matter how strong his internal strength is, sooner or later he will be suffocated from internal injuries, and it is difficult to heal. Luo Shiyi Lang knows this very well.
The person we have to talk to doesn't have to be a human, animals are sometimes very good people to talk to, and sometimes, some things, you have to talk to animals to be effective. Because after you finish speaking, you don't have to worry about the secret being revealed, and there is no second sorrow.
Therefore, animals will always be the friends of humans. Let's take good care of them, otherwise, our efforts will be in vain.
When Luo Shiyi Lang was also lying on his dry, warm and comfortable bed, he heard a message that was enough to calm his excitement and insomnia all night: Shi Shilang, we have all discussed, in fact, no one here wants to go back to the university to continue wasting time, so we have decided not to go back, if you insist on leaving, then we have to go back with you. After Meng Li finished speaking calmly, he then lay down contentedly, using his two arms to make pillows underneath, and comfortably crossed his legs.
