Chapter Ninety-Four: Self-Knowledge, Know-Knowing

The weather is getting warmer, and it's always nice to leave in winter. The reasons may vary, but the mood should not be far apart.

The monk's mood was very good, the March sun was three points inert, lazily shining on him, and mixed with the breeze of the end of winter made him sober.

All in all, a day close to perfect. Except for Guo Yue, everything is comfortable.

“... Monk, why do you say that the paintings I draw don't look like them at all? Why do you always have no soul? Isn't that movie last night very good? Oh yes, you look very happy today, why?...

The corner of the monk's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly interrupted her, and said: "Yue'er, I'm going to find Qibu and the scholar, or do you go to sketch first?" I have told you many times that when you paint, you should devote yourself to it, let your soul break through the confinement of the body, and be able to close your eyes and hear what you want to draw, listen to them, instead of directing them!"

"I don't understand!" Guo Yue looked at the monk with a confused expression. "It's so profound, are those tables and benches all goblins? ”

The monk had an urge to go berserk, but as soon as he came into contact with Guo Yue's eyes, he couldn't get the slightest anger, and he explained as popularly as possible: "I mean, you have to be immersive, imagine that everything has its own thoughts, its own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they have their own worlds, and we are not passers-by, we are one of them." ”

The monk saw Guo Yue's expression and knew that she didn't understand, he sighed, saw a pedestrian hurrying by the side of the road, and immediately took out a pencil and drawing paper, and in less than half a minute, he portrayed the person who had just passed by vividly.

"Wow. The monk handed the painting to Guo Yue, "Before I come back, you study this painting carefully, and when I come back, I will ask you what is on it." ”

"Isn't there a person up there?" Guo Yue wondered, "I can see this!"

"Look with your heart. The monk calculated the time, shouted badly, ran away, and didn't forget to say to Guo Yue, "Go home quickly, I'll come back at noon to give you an answer." ”

The monk hurried through the streets and alleys, and it took half an hour to come to the place where Qibu and the scholar lived.

"It's 31 minutes late today. Seven steps pointed to the clock hanging on the wall, his face expressionless.

The monk took off his coat with a bitter face, picked up all the sandbags on the ground and tied them to his body, stood still and said, "Okay." ”

"310 times. Seven steps laughed, "You've set a record again." ”

He leaped up like a whirlwind and side-kicked at the monk.

The monk blocked it with both hands and leaned back against the wall.

Shaking his numb arm, the monk said, "If it weren't for the sandbag stabilizing the center of gravity, it would have fallen this time, and it would still not work." ”

Seven steps kicked out again in the same position, stood on the ground with his hands on the ground, and said with a smile: "Won't you use your body to unload your strength?

The monk took the third leg and swayed and half collapsed, he got up and smiled bitterly: "The reaction is not sensitive enough, and it takes almost every fifteen times to successfully grasp it." ”

Seven steps out of the leg, the monk struggled to block the first three times and was knocked down again, seven steps pulled him up, and said: "Mengtuo and Buyi will arrive today, we will try to teach you for a while." ”

"I know. The monk nodded firmly, "I'm a little stupid." But I'll make it up the day. ”

Seven steps out of the leg again, the speed was three points faster, and the monk suddenly messed up the rules, and could only be beaten passively.

Qibu smiled: "You should be glad, I'm just faster, if Mengtuo and them make a move, they can let you lie down for a long time." ”

The monk got up and said with a smile: "Their speed is not as good as yours, I am still a little sure." Besides, didn't you do your best?"

"I don't need to say anything. Seven steps shook his head, "Each of us pursues something different, there must be a sacrifice, I pursue absolute speed, then the strength must be weakened, greed is the greatest original sin." ”

"I understand. The monk nodded, "Moreover, the most taboo thing is to abandon the original and go to the end." ”

"The boy knows a lot. Qibu praised, "You have a good comprehension ability, and you will be successful." ”

The scholar didn't know what he was doing in the room, and now he came out sleepy-eyed, still wearing pajamas.

Seeing the monk, he just nodded.

"Got it?" asked Seven Steps.

"Almost. The scholar yawned, looked at the monk, and said, "Monk, don't blame me for not reminding you, the things in this bedroom are specially designed to improve your reaction speed. It won't kill you, but if you fail, physical pain will be inevitable. ”

The monk pushed the door and looked at it, only to see a few red ropes with bells hanging on them.

"That's it?" the monk was a little confused.

"Go in and try it. The scholar smiled.

The monk went in suspiciously.

The scholar closed the door, pressed the doorknob, and began to count: "1,2,3,4,5,6..."

When he counted to six, the door suddenly opened, and the monk rushed out of the bedroom in a disgraced manner.

"Yo-heh!" the scholar smiled, "I thought you could only hold on for three seconds the first time!"

The monk trembled in pain, he stood up straight with trembling, and said to the scholar with palpitations: "You are a pervert." ”

"It's just a simplified version of the weakest. The scholar smiled evilly, "The one that was trained in the Star Picking Tower at the beginning is the real complete version, you can be content, if the conditions don't allow it, I will never let you go so easily." ”

The monk saw that the muscles on Qibu's face twitched, and Qibu saw the monk's gaze, with a look of pity in his eyes, expressing a meaning of "take care of yourself".

The monk was speechless.

"The longer you hold on in there, the sharper your reflexes will become, and my record is seventy-two hours, thirty-eight minutes, and twenty-four seconds. The scholar looked annoyed, "That failure was because I was hungry and faint and didn't find anything to eat." ”

"I should have a few months. Seven steps said calmly, "Later, it was because I was bored that I came out by myself!"

"My request to you is that you have three days to avoid or withstand all the traps and traps within. Scholar Zhengse said, "Three days later, there are more important things I want to discuss with you." ”

"No problem. The monk's eyes were hot, and the scholar used the word "consultation", and this matter couldn't be simpler.

"Alright, alright. Seven steps patted the monk on the shoulder, "Take it easy, don't stretch yourself too tightly, let's go to the station to pick up Mengtuo and Buyi." ”

Standing in the crowd, the monk suddenly felt a strong sense of emptiness.

Although Seven Steps and Scholar were standing beside him, he still felt empty, the two of them were not from their world after all.

He has never been a person who is good at expressing his emotions, so after they left one by one, the monk did not have any sad expressions.

But this time, while waiting for Meng Tuo and Buyi, that violent feeling of emptiness firmly grabbed his throat, as if he wanted to strangle him to death.

He was like a thirsty fish on the beach, the sea a few feet away, but out of reach.

He can't go, he can't be cowardly, he has his own way to go, he can't drag other people back, he has to think about the blood moon, he has to be able to stand up at a critical moment.

For that moment, no matter how much he suffered, how much pain he endured, he would not say anything.

But he is so lonely. He suddenly misses the time when Blood Moon was weak, and even though a bloody hand could insult and destroy him, at least they were together.

Yes, as long as they are together, what is he not satisfied with?

Now he is standing here alone, so that everyone can stand together in the future and never be separated again.

In that case, what else can he not give? What is emptiness and loneliness?

"What are you thinking?" the scholar asked with a smile, naturally he would not guess the monk's thoughts. When the monk hides his thoughts, you can't see the trembling of his eyelashes even if you let the mountains and rivers flow backwards.

"I wondered why Mengtuo and Buyi came to us to teach me. The monk was telling the truth, and he really couldn't figure it out.

"Because you're too weak. Seven steps bluntly said,

"That's a big reason. The monk snorted, with no look of shame on his face, "But that's not the whole reason. ”

"Because Longguan is dead. They had nothing to do over there, so they came over. The scholar carefully studied the monk's expression.

The monk's first reaction when he heard it was that his pupils shrank suddenly, and at that moment, the scholar frowned sensitively.

But the monk immediately laughed and said, "Is it fake death?"

Although he was sure in his heart, he still smiled very reluctantly.

"Trust your own judgment. Qibu nodded, "Longguan was sent to Li Han and them, and now in the blood moon, you are nominally the only one still alive." ”

"I understand. The monk understood the meaning of the seven steps.

"Do you know what we're trying to say?" the scholar smiled.

"I'm the most useless of Blood Moon. The monk said calmly, "It's me who is holding back, and I'm the weakest, so the blood moon is no longer a threat to the organization, so the organization's vigilance will be relaxed!

"You're smart. Seven steps sincerely sighed, "And dare to face yourself." ”

"People are self-aware!" the monk smiled indifferently, "most of the people organized here should be withdrawn now." In the future, as long as I go deeper and simpler, it won't be eye-catching. ”

"Good analysis. The scholar praised, "Most of the core of the organization has indeed returned to Xianghe Town, and the disturbance of Xiaoyao and Xingyin there has succeeded in bringing our master into a trap." ”

"The two of them are the real ones pulling out their teeth!" the monk sighed.

"They're not alone. Qibu said, "Although the Qilin Pavilion can't go out with great fanfare for various reasons, even the people in the Outer Pavilion are enough to make the organization anxious. ”

"In recent days, you have been telling me about the Qilin Pavilion, intentionally or unintentionally. The monk said expressionlessly, "If you don't have the intention, it's fine, if you really make up your mind and have some kind of purpose, I think you should die as soon as possible." I might help Li Han solve the organization, but..."

The seven-step scholar glanced at each other, and the scholar said, "You kid is really interesting. But don't say it so absolutely..."

"You should have investigated me, why should I give up my life of fine clothes and food but not go through this troubled water, stop here. "The monk is a little unkind.

The scholar looked at his watch and said, "Then forget it, calculate the time, they should also arrive." ”

Meng Tuo and Bu Yi really appeared at the exit of the station, both of them were empty-handed, and Bu Yi nodded at the monk from afar.

"What do you mean by cloth?" the monk asked Seven Steps.

"It means that he can't wait to abuse you. "The insidious laughter of the seven.

The monk shuddered.

Meng Tuo and Buyi walked out, Buyi sniffed and said, "After smelling the sea breeze for half a year, I suddenly couldn't get used to it." ”

Meng Tuo looked at the monk and said, "Everyone else has been arranged, and you will be trained a hundred times more rigorously than you are now in the next few days." Are you ready?"

The monk smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, if I really don't want you to force me?
