Volume 1 Xingyun Asking the Heart Chapter 5 Who Am I?
Lone Shadow lay on his side, the sharp pain in his chest suffocated him several times, all of this happened so suddenly that he was not the slightest bit unprepared.
But even if you are on guard, what can you do? Standing opposite him is the Demon Venerable, the man who once silenced the Three Frontiers and Six Regions, even if he is on guard, what can he do? Although his figure has appeared in his dreams countless times, but those are just pictures of the battle in his memory, this time the lone shadow can feel that the Demon Venerable is really talking to himself, what the hell is going on, isn't the Demon Venerable dead......
Countless thoughts rose in Lone Shadow's mind for a moment, but none of them could be figured out by him.
"Tell the deity, what the hell are you?" the Demon Venerable walked over slowly, and the halberd slid out a spark on the ground.
The repeated words of the Demon Venerable pulled the lone shadow back from thousands of thoughts, but he didn't answer, just lying on his side on the ground and carefully looking at the Demon Venerable who was approaching step by step.
As in every dream, the Demon Venerable is still wearing the black clothes, but unlike before, this time his silhouette is clearly in the eyes of the lone shadow, the Demon Venerable is not handsome, but the eagle-like eyes can make people feel cold.
"The deity asks you. Demon Venerable walked up to Lone Shadow, squatted down and watched Lone Shadow speak again.
"Poof" Lone Shadow took the opportunity to spit a mouthful of blood on the face of the Demon Venerable, and said viciously with all the strength of his body: "You are the fucking thing!"
If you want to say that you suddenly see the Demon Venerable appear, it is inevitable to be shocked, but you say how frightened the lone shadow is, after all, the unattainable Demon Venerable for the world, isn't it still the same as being slashed all over by that person's sword?
"The deity sees disdain in your eyes, are you looking down on the deity?" The Demon Venerable wiped the blood stains from his face, tilted his head to look at the angry lone shadow on the ground, and suddenly felt a little interesting.
Without waiting for Lone Shadow to answer, he spoke again: "You are indeed qualified to look down on the deity, but until then...... Let's figure out what you are!"
"When we meet the next time, tell the deity what you are. The Demon Venerable didn't seem to want to talk nonsense anymore, so he stood up and raised his halberd and slashed directly at the lone shadow on the ground.
The picture in Lone Shadow's eyes went black, and then in an instant, the picture in his eyes returned to the bathtub in his own side room, but at this time, the surrounding area had long since lost the rising heat, and the originally comfortable hot water became bitterly cold at the moment.
"Wow......" Lone Shadow spit out a mouthful of blood directly into the bathtub, and the blood quickly stained the water in the bucket, which looked terrifying.
"I ...... Who is it?" Lone Shadow lowered his head in the bucket, panting heavily, and the sharp pain in his chest made him know that what had just happened was definitely not as simple as a dream.
This is the second time that Lone Shadow has asked himself this question in this life, but he doesn't know it, the first time he asked himself, he firmly wrote the word Lone Shadow on a leaf, but this time he was at a loss.
Although the Demon Venerable asked Lone Shadow what he was, Lone Shadow knew that Mozun was actually asking who you were.
"I'm ...... A lonely shadow, but not a lonely shadow...... So who the hell am I?" Lone Shadow clenched his fists and pounded on the edge of the tub, obviously remembering some of the past, but he always understood that he was not him, that he was more like a separate personality born under his will.
But since he is here, where has he gone?
"If this body is yours, you will come out, you can come to me and take it back!" Lone Shadow roared, he was dazed, he was sad, he did not have the joy of being the reincarnation of that peerless swordsman, there was only a kind of disgust of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, he didn't know what he was, and no one told him what he was, he might just be the shadow of that person, and he could only hide under his light forever.
He used to naively think that he was the reincarnation of that person, but today, the question of the Demon Venerable directly smashed what he thought, in front of him, what are you? What are you?
Demon Venerable's words smashed into Lone Shadow's heart like a heavy hammer, I have to say that Demon Venerable does have his own uniqueness in bewitching people's hearts, and a short sentence directly became Lone Shadow's heart demon, Lone Shadow felt that this was more difficult for him to breathe than Demon Venerable's halberd piercing his chest.
After living for more than ten years, he only now realized that he didn't know who he was, which was very terrifying, maybe because he had seen the past pictures in his dreams made him a little entangled, this experience directly tore open the cracks in his heart.
Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going? These three questions are the most essential three questions in a person's life, and the last two questions may be able to confuse many people, after all, not everyone is like the monk who came from the east, and when people say that they want to go to the west, but this first question will not become an obstacle for most people, because they all have their own names, even if there are many people who have the same name in the world, but in their world, they are the only one, who am I? I am who I am, or who else could I be? That's their answer, very casual and natural.
But this is a huge problem here in Lone Shadow, when I am no longer me, who am I?
"Knock knock knock......" Just when Lone Shadow was still stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Lone Shadow, haven't you washed it yet? Lin Wanxi's voice sounded from outside the door.
"O'...... Just come!" Lin Wanxi's voice pulled Lone Shadow's thoughts back and hurriedly replied.
Outside the house, the woman was talking to her daughter without saying a word, and when she saw the lonely shadow come out, she hurriedly beckoned.
"You kid, take a bath for so long, the ginger soup is almost cold, hurry up and drink it, if you're hungry, my mother will go and give you a few sweet potatoes." The woman brought a bowl of ginger soup to Lone Shadow and immediately turned to go to the kitchen.
"Mother, shall I help you?" Wanxi said as she got up.
"You better sit down and put two sweet potatoes. The woman waved her hand at Wanxi and went into the kitchen by herself.
Wanxi had no choice but to give up, but after sitting down, she found that the lone shadow on the side was holding a ginger soup bowl in a daze.
"Ai ...... Ai, are you okay, why are you so unrelenting?" Lin Wanxi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the lonely shadow who was holding ginger soup in a daze, and asked with some concern.
"Oh, it's fine. Lone Shadow came back to his senses and took the ginger soup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"Are you really okay?" Lin Wanxi saw the abnormality of the lonely shadow in her eyes, and this person came out of a shower as if he had changed into a different person.
"Sister Wanxi, a year later, I will go with you to participate in the selection of disciples in the Drunken Dream Sect. Lone Shadow suddenly spoke.
"Ah, why did you say this suddenly?" Lin Wanxi blinked, and when she came back, her younger brother, who was still vague, took a shower and had a 180-degree change in attitude.
"O'...... It's okay, I'll show you my determination. Lone Shadow wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
"There's another year, it's okay, there's no hurry. Lin Wanxi thought that it was her own business that made Lone Ying feel pressured, and comforted.
Lone Ying nodded, got up and walked towards his bedroom: "Sister Wanxi, I'm sleepy, let's go rest first." ”
"Ai, Niang, steamed sweet potatoes in a while, don't you want to eat some?"
"No, I'm not hungry. ”
At night, the moonlight shone through the window, shining on Lone Shadow's frowning face, not counting his previous life, Lone Shadow is now seventeen years old, which is also the age at which he has transformed from a boy to a teenager.
If the old man in the village sees the lonely shadow at this time, he will definitely laugh at who must be the girl in the picture, and he is lovesick at this point, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, isn't this the same thing for children of this age?
But who knew that the depth of Lone Shadow's thoughts at this time was beyond the reach of most people in the village today.
Lone Shadow lay on the bed tossing and turning, and then got up in the dark as if he had made up his mind, lit the oil lamp on the table, and began to pack up his clothes, in fact, what he just wanted to tell Lin Wanxi was that he and her would go to participate in the disciple selection on the fourteenth floor a year later, but he wanted to go out and have a look during this year.
However, because he was afraid of being blocked by his family, he didn't tell Lin Wanxi about it, and his heart was still wavering at that time, so he covered the matter.
But now, he finally made up his mind, since no one told him who it was, then he went to look for it himself, not to look for the traces of that swordsman, but to find his own proof.
He didn't know if the Demon Venerable was dead or not, but he hoped that one day, he would be able to stand in front of him and tell him confidently that his name was Lone Shadow, and he was the only Lone Shadow, instead of not even daring to say his name like today.
When the morning sun once again sprinkled the earth, and the rooster crowed inside and outside the village, Lone Shadow had already set foot on the road away from home, and he didn't know where his destination was, but at least this time he knew that he was from a southern village, and that was enough.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Lazy guy, aren't you going to get up yet?" Lin Wanxi pushed open the door of the lonely shadow and called.
I saw that the bed was empty, and on the table in the room, there was a letter lying quietly.
Lin Wanxi frowned, picked up the letter on the table and examined it, then sighed and shook his head and said, "Stinky boy, what can't I say to my face, since you want to fly, will I, the elder sister, stop you?"
In fact, just as Lone Ying can understand that his sister is going to participate in the disciple election with a sick body, she can naturally understand her brother's mood of wanting to go out to practice, since it is a family, of course he has to enter a family.
"Come on!" Lin Wanxi looked at the door of the house and said in a low voice, as if she was saying it to Lone Shadow and to herself.
