Chapter 23: Participating in Life
The strong wind blew his face tightly, his brain was groggy, and his body was unconscious, as if only the whistling of hunting was left between heaven and earth.
I don't know how long it flew, and I don't know how far it flew.
The conflict between the magic element and the Tianyuan force slowly subsided as the exhaustion of his qi power slowly subsided, and Qi Kai found a dense forest in a trance and stumbled down.
He gasped violently, and the depletion of his mental power and Heavenly Yuan power made him more exhausted than ever. He staggered a few steps before leaning limply against a boulder.
On the horizon, the sunset was red, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his pale face, making him feel a rare trace of long-lost warmth.
This is the most comfortable time of the day, the heat of the day has almost dissipated, and the cold of the night has not yet arrived.
So even though he was tired and wanted to close his eyes and get some rest, he still quietly stared at the fiery sunset on the horizon.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he said goodbye to Lao Dezhu, as if he was also at this moment, as if he was also facing the sunset, although he did not look back at that time, he involuntarily appeared in his mind the old and lonely figure of Lao Dezhu.
He sighed and said to himself, "When I heal my wounds, I'll go see you." ”
Then he shook his head weakly again, and said lonely: "Qi Kai, Qi Kai, I'm afraid you only have one friend now."
Thinking of Chang Youde's lonely back when he left, Qi Xingxing would be very uncomfortable, he sighed again, and muttered: "Virtuous, virtuous, do you know that I don't really want you to go, I know how difficult it is to make a friend like you in life, but I can't drag you down anymore, and you won't have a good life with me, so I hope you don't feel sad because I drove you away."
He then laughed at himself and said, "Do you think you are great? How can he feel sorry for such a treacherous villain as you as greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't you know how failed you are in life?"
He slowly closed his eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.
People who sleep soundly under extreme fatigue generally dream.
Qi Kai dreamed of the master, the master was wearing the purple and gold robe he wore before his death, standing majestically on the steps of the Demon Heaven Pavilion, holding the dark red big-headed magic staff that made him fearful, looking at him coldly, and then said coldly: "I didn't expect you to disappoint me so much, I only hate why I saved you in the first place?" Then the master closed his eyes and chanted a spell he had never heard before, only to see the golden light around the master, only to hear a loud explosion, the golden light dissipated, and his master had disappeared.
Suddenly, the scene changed, there were blue flying flotsams floating in the sky, he raised his head, and saw purple weeping willow leaves fluttering in the wind, and a figure in a snowsuit in front of him was happily picking wild flowers as white as her clothes, she suddenly raised her head and said to him: "Qi Kai, do you think I look good wearing this flower?"
Her smile overshadowed the heavens and the earth.
Flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful.
He originally wanted to say, "Only such a beautiful flower can be worthy of you." But as soon as he spoke, he became: "How can the flowers of the wilderness be beautiful, the flowers are not beautiful, and the people are not beautiful." ”
The girl immediately had a sad expression on her face, and looked at him in a daze, her big beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears. She turned and flew away, the tears that had been sprinkled on the grass glistened like dew on the petals of a flower after the rain.
Qi Kai immediately chased after him, wanting to explain clearly, but before he could take a step, the scene changed to Wuwei Hall again.
The cold dishes and wine on the table had not been removed, and the hall master was still pouring wine into Wuzi's bloody neck cup by cup, and he had no head. Qi Kai sat next to him, the soles of his feet were cold, and his calves were already weak.
After the Shang Hall Master poured three glasses of wine in a row, Qi Kai saw the blood vessels in his neck slowly squirming, and then he heard the voice of the Shang Hall Master: "Brother Qi Kai, I trust you so much in vain, but why do you want to kill me?"
Qi Kai was startled and hurriedly explained, he opened his mouth, but a voice came from the big hole in the roof: "Don't you deserve to die?"
The hall master's throat burst into a burst of wild laughter, and he only heard his voice say, "Good! good! I really deserve to die, just because I didn't even see that you are such a sinister and shameless villain!"
When the laughter stopped, the body of the hall master collapsed under the table.
The scene has changed again.
The mountain road was rugged, and the two teenagers walked slowly one after the other, and the young man in front suddenly said: "Chang Youde, you and I will only suffer when we are together, let's separate!"
The young man in the back looked at the young man in front of him, was stunned for a long time, and said, "You want to drive me away?"
The young man in front said coldly: "Yes, since you followed me, I have never had good luck, so you still go well, don't bother me." ”
The young man in the back laughed wildly: "Okay, anyway, I can't get along with a sinister and ugly person who abandoned his teacher and ancestors, so it's better to go!"
Chang Youde's figure slowly disappeared on the winding mountain road, and Qi was as happy as a knife.
He was suddenly in the small courtyard of the hall master of the Wuji Hall again, but the old man was not pruning the flower branches, but stood there quietly, as if he knew that Qi Kai would definitely appear and wait for him there.
The old man looked at Qi Kai with burning eyes and said, "Since you still dare to come, do you want to die with me?"
He said, "Yes, you killed my master and brother, and I should avenge them." ”
The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, "Just because you're a mere sixth-order magician?"
He said, "There are also six-stage martial artists. ”
The old man said, "Oh, you actually broke through to a sixth-order martial artist, which really surprised me. ”
He said, "It's a pity that it's too late for you to regret it now!"
The old man was moved, and suddenly laughed again, his eyes were full of contempt, and he said disdainfully: "You cowardly as a mouse dare to blow himself up?" He snorted coldly, his momentum suddenly became fierce, and he snorted coldly: "The 'Seven Saints' are not more than Er'er, they are all incompetent people who speak falsely, see where you escape!"
In the midst of the shouts, one of his hands suddenly turned into two huge iron claws, which grabbed him with great speed and incomparable speed in the old man's cruel laughter
Qi Kai was shocked and woke up from a nightmare.
Thinking back on his experience during this period of time, he couldn't help but ask himself: Am I really a good-for-nothing villain? The person I love deeply is gone, and my closest friend has left angrily, and I can't even avenge the blood and hatred of my master! I can only bring pain and misfortune to the people around me, so what's the point of living in secret? Why didn't I blow myself up and die in the Wuji Palace? Did I really not dare? I was really just a cowardly wasted person?
He stared at the roof in a daze, tears streaming down his face.
Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped into her ears, sending a warm heat.
'Squeak', the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a dark face cautiously walked in with a steaming medicine jar, and said with a smile: "You had a high fever last night, first drink this can of freshly boiled medicine to drive away the cold in your body!"
Qi Kai raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he didn't want to just raise his arm, but there were bursts of sharp pain like pins and needles.
Looking at Qi Kai, whose face was full of pain, the middle-aged man said with a little doubt: "You are not injured, it may be that the cold qi has entered the body due to exhaustion and weakness, and you will feel better after drinking the medicine." He paused, as if he wanted to speak, but then continued: "There are countless beasts in the mountains, presumably you are exhausted to avoid the attack, right?"
Qi Kai stared at the middle-aged man's dark but very kind face, his heart suddenly warmed, and he nodded slowly.
The middle-aged man sighed, and then said, "The mountain is very dangerous, why did you enter the mountain alone?
Qi Kai shook his head and said weakly, "It's just me." ”
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but have some questions in his heart: Judging from his face alone, he should be very young, but why did he enter the mountain alone? Could it be that he was not a local person and did not know the dangers in the mountains?
After all, he didn't ask, because he knew that if a person didn't want to tell the truth, even if he kept asking for a day, all he would get would be a series of lies.
He said softly, "As long as you are alive, you are already lucky." You drink the medicine, just rest well. ”
Qi Kai looked at the middle-aged man holding the medicine in front of him in a daze, savoring his words, but suddenly said, "Why do people want to live?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, as if he didn't expect this frail young man to say such a full of vicissitudes of life, he was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "In my opinion, people don't have to work hard to dream of a distant dream in their lives, nor do they have to pursue hard to set a lofty goal, people live for a lifetime, but in just a few hundred years, why waste a lot of energy, and spend a good time on some things that don't belong to you? Why not live for yourself as you like?" Life, in my opinion, is to participate in life without action, to realize the sorrows and sorrows of life, and to feel the sorrow and sorrow of leaving."
Qi Kai's dim eyes gradually lit up, and he wanted to struggle to climb out of bed, but the sharp pain around him made him grin.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "It's better for you not to move now, so as not to fall ill." ”
The color of gratitude in Qi Kai's eyes was even worse, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Thank you seniors for saving your life." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You're welcome, you can call me Uncle Cheng in the future." ”
