Volume 59 The Struggle for Identity
"I've been in Longcheng for some time, and I'm a little familiar, I'm definitely not wrong with me, I know that there are a lot of delicious places, in addition to the Baiwei rabbit meat in the restaurant we went to before, the old yellow chicken in the restaurant on the other side of the river is also a must, as well as the salted duck in this teahouse, and ......" Speaking of eating and drinking, Xie Qishan is spittle.
"Brother Xie, Brother Xie, it's still early before dinner time, let's go shopping for something else first, and it's not too late to eat later." Ming Xuan hurriedly interrupted him, otherwise he would be endless, he had just chosen a room in the inn and settled down, and before he could sit hot, he was pulled out to hang out again, this period of time in order to hurry, Ming Xuan ate and stayed in the dew, and finally now he is free, he just wants to be able to sleep quietly, and Meimei, but at present, it seems that it can only be a luxury, and he doesn't want to go to bed until late at night.
"That's right, but it doesn't matter, I know a lot of places to play, there is a juggler not far away, he is very skilled, and many people go to ......cheer;
"Brother Xie, can we not go to these places, junior brother, I just came to Dragon City, and I am not familiar with anything, why don't you understand the general situation of Dragon City first, and wait until you know something, and then go to the place you said." Ming Xuan was sweating evil when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded him softly, he really didn't like to go to these places that were too noisy.
"Okay, in fact, what you said makes sense, then I'll help you understand the situation in Dragon City first. Xie Qishan finally nodded, and Ming Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Boiling City and Los Angeles, which have the characteristics of a very regional nature, Longcheng is a comprehensive big city, with all kinds of dazzling things; all kinds of people from all walks of life; all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams; all kinds of complicated and overwhelming things are woven together, it is already extremely lively and prosperous, and now because of the annual grand selection of Qingyangmen disciples is close at hand, it has attracted the attention of the entire Zhongzhou, many aspiring teenagers have come from various places in Zhongzhou, and there are also many onlookers who come to visit, and the grand occasion is unprecedented for a while.
"The dragon city is divided into two cities, the inner city is the outer city, the same as other cities to do business, trade, live and walk, except for the big point, there is no difference, and the center of the dragon city is divided separately, built a city within the city, there is the inner city, compared to the free freedom of the outer city, the inner city is not ordinary people want to enter the can enter, to enter the inner city must have a unique pass card in the inner city, and the pass card is only the VIP of the dragon city, or the senior disciples of Qingyangmen are qualified to have, and they are undoubtedly a well-known figure, so it is not just a pass card, but also a symbol of status。 Xie Qishan said with envy, tired of walking, Ming Xuan and Xie Qishan found a teahouse to sit down and rest.
"The inner city that requires a pass to enter, and what's in there?" asked Ming Xuan curiously.
"I haven't been in before, how do I know? But my father goes there a lot, and according to him, it's like that, it's not much like the outer city, but because there are a lot of people living in it, because they don't want to be disturbed by the outside world, so there are many restrictions. Xie Qishan explained to Mingxuan.
"Your dad has a pass, too? That's amazing!" Since the pass card is a symbol of status, it can be seen that Xie Qishan's father's status must not be low, in fact, Ming Xuan Tong guò Xie Qishan's words and deeds are inferred, and he also knows that his background may not be small, who will go out of the house and take a few followers inseparable, and all of them are extremely skilled, and their movements are also uniform, obviously they have received special training to protect him, but Ming Xuan doesn't care about these, he just thinks that Xie Qishan is very easy-going and easy to get along with, so he will be friendly with him, but he doesn't have any intention of stammering。
"The pass card is also divided into grades, there are gold, silver, bronze, iron four grades, the iron plate represents the servants of the inner city people, has the right to enter and exit, but there are also many restrictions; the bronze medal represents the ordinary people in the inner city, and there is no status in the inner city; the silver medal represents the guests of the inner city, and it can be regarded as a VIP; only the gold medal represents the occupants of the inner city, the real master; my father is just a silver medal, barely a guest" Xie Qishan pouted, said lightly.
"It seems that there are really a lot of rules in the inner city, so it seems that the inner city doesn't have much meaning, and it doesn't matter if you don't go to this kind of place, it's better to be relaxed in this outer city." Ming Xuan suddenly smiled and said, what would it mean to be in a place where everyone holds their own identity.
"That's right, there are so many rules, I don't have to be bound to death if I live in the inner city! My house is a place where rules are everywhere, and I don't like it very much! I wish I could stay outside every day and be free. Xie Qishan said with deep feelings.
"That's not necessarily, although the inner city is full of people with status, but if everyone has such a status, then they can be regarded as equal dialogues with each other, how can there be restraints, I think you can't eat grapes to say that grapes are sour." Hearing the conversation between Mingxuan and Xie Qishan, a young man drinking tea next to him couldn't help but interject.
"Since they all choose to live in the inner city where they need to live with status, they will naturally have some self-contained identities, and this kind of person is often some arrogant people, even in the face of people of the same status, they may not be able to talk normally. Ming Xuan couldn't help but retort.
"People with status don't necessarily have their own identity, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it. The young man did not agree with Mingxuan's view.
"It's true that people with identity don't necessarily have their own identity, but choosing to live in the inner city requires identity, if they don't have their own identity, why live in the inner city and refuse to let others come and go at will. "Mingxuan is not relenting.
"There are no rules, there is no circle, and every place naturally has its own rules, which is not a big deal. Although the young man could not speak of him, he did not mean to agree.
"I didn't say anything, I just felt that such a rule in the inner city imposed a kind of bondage, a bondage to identity. "Ming Xuan was born in poverty, although he has learned martial arts and enlightenment, but he doesn't feel that he seems to be higher than the first, he is just an ordinary person among all living beings, the world is equal, he has never looked down on people, but he also doesn't like to be looked down upon, seeing the many regulations in the inner city of Dragon City, he feels that he wants to deliberately stand above everyone, and his heart is a little unusual, so the words are a little excited, and the words have become more.
"It's just a symbol that motivates people to work hard, to be able to reach such heights and work hard. "Youth is clearly one of the admirers of the inner city.
"The equality of all beings, even if it is to inspire everyone, should be a situation that originates from and is higher than everyone, and should not be so high and unattainable. Mingxuan still insisted on his own point of view.
"Okay, okay, Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust. It's something that has nothing to do with us, so why bother being so persistent, it's just a conversation in your spare time, you don't have to be so blushing and thick-necked, come on, come on, sit down, I'll be the boss! Let's just chat happily together. Seeing that the two of them were stiffening the more they talked, Xie Qishan hurriedly came out to play a round.
"There's really no need, I don't know what Brother Tai is called after talking about it for so long?" Thinking about it carefully, Ming Xuan also felt a little meaningless, everyone in the world had such an opinion, how could it be changed all of a sudden, it was just powerless.
"Yes, let's just talk, and there's nothing to do in the next paragraph. Duan Hefeng also smiled softly, it can be regarded as a revelation.
"My name is Xie Qishan, his name is Gu Mingxuan, everyone knows each other, meeting is fate, come and come, Brother Duan, come and sit together." Xie Qishan was enthusiastic by nature and hurriedly invited.
"If I don't want to, I can't, I still have some urgent things to do, so I have to go, Brother Xie and Brother Gu, I won't accompany you. I'll see you again when we have a fate, and we'll have a good time when the time comes!" Duan Hefeng arched his hand to the two, then got up and left, and the two who were arguing fiercely just now ended up like this.
"He's an interesting person. Looking at Duan Hefeng's departing back, Ming Xuan smiled, the argument just now was still echoing in his ears, but he couldn't tell who was reasonable and who was unreasonable.
"Yes, it's a pity that I'm in such a hurry to leave, otherwise there are so many people, how lively!" Xie Qishan is still regretting this.
Ming Xuan smiled, very speechless, and drank tea by himself.
"Duan and wind...... Duan and Wind ...... Why does this name sound so familiar?" Xie Qishan was still muttering to himself.
......
On the outskirts of Longcheng, there is a small pavilion on the road to Qingyang Mountain, where a group of people are waving their heads in anticipation.
"Senior brother, why are you here now, the master is in a hurry, and he just told us about it, blame us for not being with you. Seeing Duan Hefeng's figure gradually clear, everyone immediately smiled.
"I'm sorry, there are some things delayed on the way, I'll just go and ask Master for a sin later. Duan Hefeng said with a faint smile, obviously very favored by the master.
"Then let's go now, Master has just been invited by the Changkong Daoist of Qingyang Gate to catch up on the old days, and told us to wait until you come and go directly to the mountain. One of them said.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain, we have to take a good look at the selection of Qingyangmen this time, and what amazing geniuses will appear. Duan Hefeng smiled, looking forward to it.
"Speaking of world-shattering geniuses, who can compare to you, Senior Brother, at the age of less than twenty, you are already a sixth-order martial artist! Moreover, this year, our newly recruited disciples of Xiaoyaomen, Yu Huiliang and Zhong Wushi, are also dragons among people, it is not necessarily that Qingyangmen also has such a good talent!" said one person with disdain.
"Don't be so complacent, remember, there are people outside the sky, okay, let's go up the mountain. With that, Duan Hefeng led everyone towards the mountain.
