Chapter 150: The Brave
Jiang Wang was waiting for his next step.
Qinghuo Qiming asked again: "Do you also think I'm a coward?"
His expression looked serious.
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said with the same serious attitude: "I haven't experienced what you have experienced, so I can't judge you easily." ”
Qinghuo Qiming was silent for a while, and asked with a smile with red eyes: "Above the blue sky, is it a very bright world?"
"I've never heard anyone say anything like that," he said. People are always following the crowd and are always easy to deny others. Some say he was a coward. Everybody else knows, oh, he's a coward. Some people say that he was just lucky to be a witch. Everyone else knew that he was just lucky. ”
"In Fulu, no one asks more. Do you know?" he looked at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." ”
"It's not a very bright world for us," he said. It is also the norm for people to follow the clouds, three people become tigers, everyone is gold, and rumors can easily change or destroy a person. Many times people are lazy to think, stick to conventions, and are used to blindly following them. There are also many times when people doubt everything and don't trust anyone. Desires are unfillable, conspiracies are rampant, interests are supreme, people are indifferent, and they always only think about themselves, and they don't care about other people's ......"
"What I say is just a drop in the ocean, just an insignificant filth in the filth. The darkness of the world is beyond my description.
But I'm not trying to tell you how hopeless the world I live in.
Because there is still light, there is a lot of light. Where the sun can't reach, where the moon can't reach, burn in that world.
Some people hurt nature and reason, and some people save lives and help the wounded.
Someone is treacherous.
There are also people who make promises. For the sake of a promise, at the cost of life and death......"
Jiang Wang was very calm: "The world is such a world. You see the light, and that's the light. You close your eyes, and that's dark. ”
"You ask me what my world is like. This is the world I live in, above your blue sky. ”
Qinghuo Qiming was silent.
The warriors in the Caves were recuperating at this time, and no one looked this way, probably exhausted from the previous battle.
The two of them sat in a remote corner, and it seemed that neither of them belonged in this cave.
Jiang Wang is a passerby, but Qinghuo Qiming seems to be too.
"Would you like to hear my story?" asked Qinghuo Qiming.
"Idle is idle. Jiang Wang said.
He behaved very casually, but Qinghuo Qiming was a little more relaxed.
"My father was a coward, and I am the son of a coward. ”
Qinghuo Qiming began his story with this beginning.
"He was very talented and had high hopes from his people. The practice was also smooth sailing, and the progress was very fast. But when he first entered the cave to guard, he encountered the largest beast tide at that time, and the tribal warriors suffered countless casualties.
Of the same people who went down to the cave, he was the only one who survived. It's unfortunate.
Because he was afraid. Completely scared.
Even...... In order to evade the responsibility of guarding the cave, he abolished his totem.
He would rather be pointed at and scolded, would rather everyone look down on him, and would never set foot in the cave.
Later, he died. Died in a winter.
My grandfather couldn't stand the humiliation he brought and killed him with his own hands. ”
Speaking of the death of his biological father, Qinghuo Qiming's tone was cold, he looked in the direction of the cave, and there was not much expression on his face.
"Grandpa told me from a young age that I wanted to be a real warrior, that I wanted to be brave, that I wanted to wash away the shame of our family. I did aim for this, and I practiced diligently, dreaming of being able to participate in the battle of the cave as soon as possible. And my grandfather, who led by example, went down to the cave once a year...... So he died in the cave. ”
"I was later adopted by my adoptive father. I said that my goal was to face the Heavens, to become a warrior who could fight against the Star Beasts. He was very supportive of my ambition and very supportive. But every time I applied to go down the cave with him, he said I was still young and would have to wait a few more years. Every time, I was asked to stay in the fire shrine. ”
Later, he died. ”
"On the day he died, I was standing outside the fortress of the Caves. When the door opened, I was given a rag, saying it was a fragment of his clothes. It was all he had left, and he fell into the sky. ”
Speaking of this, Qinghuo Qiming took a deep breath: "I don't know why, I don't know why." That day I looked at the fortress of the Cave of No Branch, and suddenly I felt very frightened. I've always wanted to go down to the cave, I've thought about it for years, and I've worked hard for it, but from that day on, I never wanted to do it again. I don't dare to think about it. ”
Jiang Wang said, "You still came today." ”
"I don't want to come, but I can't help but come. The patience of the people of my clan is almost to the limit. Do you know? When I presided over the ceremony of lighting the stars, some people said that if the ceremony could not be successful, they would sacrifice my witch blessing to the heavens. ”
Qinghuo Qiming pursed his lips: "I know, they are serious. ”
Jiang Wang remembered the hunting of the Senhai Holy Clan. People who turn their backs on tradition, who deviate from the mainstream value orientation, will always be turned away from the ethnic group. This kind of thing can't even be judged by right or wrong at all.
If Qinghuo Qiming refuses to bring the "Blue Sky Comer" to the cave to select people, the consequences he will face can be imagined.
The reason why he was angry with the one-armed Qinghuo Yuanchen was actually not entirely angry. It's just because he didn't dare to leave Jiang Wang like that and return to the tribe by himself.
"Before you appeared, I was already planning to escape from the Celebratory Fire Ministry. But ......" Qinghuo Qiming shook his head bitterly: "A person who doesn't dare to go down to the cave, what tribe is willing to want?"
"Curious why I'm telling you this?"
Qinghuo Qiming asked himself: "Because I'm still very scared now." ”
"I hate why I'm so afraid, but there's nothing I can do. I'm afraid. ”
"I have to say something. ”
But no one listened to me except when I prayed. ”
Qinghuo Qiming's tone was gloomy, and there was a kind of loneliness in the group.
Jiang Wang just patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything.
Is there nothing wrong with celebrating the flames?
Everyone on the floating land faces a threat from the Heavens. All the warriors sacrificed their lives for the survival of the tribe, but Qinghuo Qiming hid in a safe place and survived.
Is it really wrong to celebrate the fire?
Was it his fault that he couldn't overcome his fears?
Not everyone can be brave. So if people are not brave, are they not qualified to live? In terms of the harsh reality, maybe yes. But it shouldn't.
Jiang Wang believes that his own experience and wisdom are not enough to judge the right and wrong of Qinghuo Qiming. Or maybe there is no answer to this question.
So he didn't say anything.
The silence lasted for some time.
Huhuhu~
Huhuhu~
In the grotto, the wind sounded.
The wind seemed to come from an unknown and distant place, whistling and approaching.
"Star Beast!"
"The Star Beast is here!"
Someone shouted.
