Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Lover
"Imprisoned...... Prison...... Prison ......"
"Prison Town!"
"The body and mind are prisoners, and there is no way to solve them for generations, it turns out to be this prison!"
Chu Liuxian couldn't describe the feeling at this time in words.
He's got it all figured out.
I remember that on the Jiuyao Ancient Ship, on the way here, Chu Liren roughly explained the process of the Seven Sins to him.
One of them is that in Xianyuan Town, those who fail to pass the test will be left behind forever.
It turned out to be this one left!
Chu Liuxian remembered what he had overlooked. As early as when Chu Liren mentioned that everyone in the prison town was a side branch of the Seven Great Families, he felt strange.
Although the side branches of the seven great families are far less noble than the status and worship of the descendants, the major families will still provide them with a place to live and take care of them.
Most of those settlements are near the root of the family, and if there are any talents in the side branches, they will also be absorbed by the main vein as soon as possible.
This place in Prison Town, no matter from which point of view, is not suitable for the children of the side branches of the Seven Great Families to multiply, so how did these people appear?
It turns out that the roots are here.
"They're simply descendants of the 'prisoners' in Prison Town, so it's no wonder they're acting so strangely. ”
When Chu Liuxian thought of this, all kinds of strange reactions from the residents of the town appeared in his mind when they first entered the prison town.
"Generations as prisoners...... Generations as prisoners......"
Chu Liuxian couldn't help but shudder, as if a gust of cold wind poured down from the six open top yang bones and poured into the bone marrow.
He was like this, and the little fat man next to him couldn't be calm, and the whole person began to tremble and tremble.
"Scared?"
Chu Liuxian asked without looking back.
"Very scared. The little fat man was unequivocal, direct and straightforward, "I'm afraid of death, I almost peed my pants." ”
"Do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it!"
"Why?"
"Brother Chu, didn't you say you would take me out. ”
The little fat man said very calmly. The life of that brother was handed over to your brother, but unfortunately, he was exposed in the next sentence.
"What's that......"
The little fat man revealed his true form, and asked worriedly, "Brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Chu Liuxian rolled his eyes, completely ignoring the fat man's thoughts, and he couldn't be moved.
While following the little fat man's nonsense, Chu Liuxian put part of his mind on Yun Xiangrong.
This girl feels very strange to him.
is an alienated character, but consciously or unconsciously always keep the same tone with him.
The more alienated a person is, the more he should have his own ideas. Yun Xiangrong basically didn't say much this time. But Chu Liuxian does whatever she does, and seems to trust him very much.
Chu Liuxian was very curious, what kind of idea was this Yun Xiangrong?
After his observation, Yun Xiangrong was just when she heard the truth about Prison Town, the white veil on her face was undulating, and the faint sound of bells came from her wrist, and she couldn't help but tremble for a while.
Then, she was as calm as an ice sculpture, and she didn't show the slightest abnormality.
"Hey. Another woman who is not simple. ”
Chu Liuxian sighed in his heart and let go of the idea of taking the opportunity to observe.
"Fatty. He turned to the little fat man and said, "Do you still want to go out and look for food?"
"Nope. ”
The little fat man's head shook like a rattle, shrunk his fat body, and said, "I think I can still bear it." Lose weight, you should lose weight. ”
After understanding what the prison is, the little fat man is afraid of the place in the prison town, and he has no choice but to do so. He didn't want to take half a step out of the inn.
As soon as he finished speaking, he shivered as if he felt cold. said: "What's that, Brother Chu, I went back first, I didn't sleep enough." ”
Chu Liuxian laughed at this, and ran back to an inn like a little fat man running away.
Yun Xiangrong floated out of the carving shop without saying a word, and the thoughts he held were estimated to be no different from the little fat man.
Chu Liuxian shook his head, saluted Nanda, who didn't know when he started to carve with a carving knife again, and turned around to leave.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him:
"Do you want to learn carving?"
"Huh?!"
Chu Liuxian was stunned, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Nantuo.
Nanda didn't raise his head, and his hands didn't stop, as if the sentence just now was not what he said.
At this moment, there were only the two of them left in the carving shop, and of course the words could not have come from someone else's mouth.
Chu Liuxian thought of the words that Chu Liren left behind when he left, blessed his soul, and bowed down and said:
"I don't dare to ask for it!"
"Be taught!"
......
In the days that followed, Chu Liuxian never returned to an inn.
At the beginning, Nanda immersed himself in carving, Chu Liuxian sat next to him and watched with full attention, and occasionally communicated with Chu Liuxian without a glance, just nodded and shook his head;
A day later, the two swapped places. Chu Liuxian held a carving knife and carved with his heart, and Nantuo next to him watched quietly, not seeing joy and sorrow, and not saying a word;
Another day, every time Chu Liuxian finished carving, he would always look at Nantuo. If you see a nod, you throw it aside, and when you see a shake, you look again, ponder, and ask for advice.
......
A week is fleeting.
In the last few days, Nanda never said a word or carved a knife, and he did not even change his movements and posture.
Chu Liuxian was also completely immersed in the carving, but he never found out who it was and when he would send food and drink. Anyway, every time he put down the carving knife in his hand, he could always see a hot meal in front of him.
By the last day, the carving shop was once again covered with carvings.
Unlike before, these carvings are not by Nanda, nor are they a woman with a peerless grace but no face.
Chu Liuxian's carvings cover a wide range of subjects, and countless characters who have left an impression on his mind can always appear under his carving knife with their most brilliant or impressive images.
There are beautiful women such as Xin Yi, Shuang'er, Qianhuan Sakura, etc., as well as Little Fat Man, Gongzi Ye, Chen Lin and others, Gongzi Zheng and Chu Mu, Chu Tiange and Chu Liren, and even Nantuo has a portrait that is carving with his head in shape......
When Chu Liuxian finally put down the carving knife. A hunch came to me that he didn't stay here long.
He looked up again at Nanda.
This time, Nanda didn't nod his head easily, shook his head easily, was silent for a while, and Chang Tai breathed out: "I can see that this woman is loyal, this woman is pure, and this woman is pitied by you." ”
When he spoke. His eyes swept over the three daughters of Xin Yi, Shuang'er, and Thousand Illusion Sakura respectively.
"This man is obedient, this pride. ”
This time it's Gongzi Ye and Chen Lin.
"These two people, you want to be close, but you can't get close, stand in the farthest place that is closest and farthest. ”
When Nanda mentioned Gongzi Zheng and Chu Mu, Chu Liuxian's expression changed for the first time.
"Your technique has been completed, and your art is close to the Tao!"
Nantuo's words were taken literally, and they were clearly admiration, but they fell on Chu Liuxian's ears. What I heard was regret and regret.
"Please advise. ”
Chu Liuxian treated him with courtesy and respectfully asked for advice.
"I can see that, proof every time you carve. They all poured their hearts and emotions into it, and they had souls. ”
"It's a pity ......"
Nanda shook his head, extremely regretful, and at a loss. It seems that he can't tell whether what he wants to say is right or wrong.
"It can also be seen from this. You are one
- Heartless!"
The last three words, Nantuo spit out almost word by word, and Chu Liuxian on the other side listened to it in his ears, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"You have a heart, but you are ruthless!"
"I don't see love in your carvings. ”
Chu Liuxian waited until Nan Tuo sighed and finished speaking, and then said respectfully: "Dare to ask, what is love?"
"What is love?"
Nanda seemed to be in trouble, and lowered his head for a long time before he said slowly: "Love is a thing, the living can die, and the dead can live." ”
He shook his head again and said, "I can't see it in your work." ”
Chu Liuxian was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The disciple doesn't know if what you said is right or wrong? What is affection and what is ruthlessness? I don't know either. ”
"I only know that if it is cherished, I should protect it!"
While Chu Liuxian spoke, he stretched out a hand, raised it high above the top, turned his palm down at the highest point, and pressed it down.
"Boom~~"
Hundreds of wood carvings placed on the ground floated into the air, and each one was more or less, simple or complex, and a dragon forbidden pattern appeared.
In an instant, the entire carving shop was hundreds or thousands of times brighter, and a lamp like a bean was covered in such light, dim as the sunset.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom~~~~"
One by one, the wood carvings exploded, and one by one the dragon forbidden patterns floated up, converging into a galaxy-like band of light surrounding the shop, and finally swarmed, converging in Chu Liuxian's palms that were raised above his head, far away from each other.
He slowly closed his hands together, compressing the dragon forbiddens so that they burned brightest and brightest, while quietly looking into Nanda's eyes.
Nanda's spirit was in a trance, as if he saw the eyes of Chu Liren when he stepped in from outside seven days ago.
That's firmness!
has its own way, and no one can be left with the firmness of beak!
When those dragon forbidden galaxies were compressed into one point and annihilated in the palms of Chu Liuxian, Nanda understood his way.
Represented by wood carvings.
Nanda's way is companionship, a kind of foolishness!
Chu Liuxian's Tao is guarding, it is a kind of attachment!
Chu Liuxian in front of him was still respectful and polite, as if he was respecting a teacher, but Nanda saw the sharp edge of pointing to the peak of the sky and coming out of the sheath from the firmness of his body.
If the sky stops me, the sky will also poke a hole with the edge exposed, firm and unyielding.
Nanda sighed again, as if for a moment, he felt that something was shaking, and he felt as if he had aged for countless years.
"That's it. ”
He staggered to his feet, as if he had been sitting for too long and was unable to breathe, and he was unsteady on his feet, and said to Chu Liuxian, "I want you to do me a favor." ”
Chu Liuxian responded without hesitation: "Please instruct, if the disciple can do it, he will not refuse." ”
What Nanda taught him was carving, not carving, but a process, a process of understanding and clarifying one's own Tao.
From this point of view, Nanda is also a teacher, and it is natural for a disciple to serve him.
"I want you to help me find someone to see how she's doing. ”
"She's in Xianyuan Town, and she won't see me. ”
Nanda said, handing over the carving knife that had been holding it in his hand and never leaving his body, and said, "This is even my reward for you." ”
"It's called: Lover!" (to be continued......)
