"I feel it, he's nearby, we're already here!"
Surprised shouts, the bus stopped suddenly, the door opened wide, and in front of me was a quiet barren mountain, short hills, sparse trees, and a pond that was not that big. But far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, here it seemed It's exceptionally quiet, and it seems to calm people's hearts.
"Where are the people?"
Xia Dongqing asked curiously. He was really curious about whose music could actually penetrate the barriers of space and touch Pluto's heart.
"He's right there, I see him!"
Chacha stretched out her hand and pointed in the distance, and everyone looked towards it. Their eyes flew across the pond that blocked everyone. In the curling smoke, it was clearly visible that on the other side of the pond, a young man was groping to pack a guqin.
"He is a human? And also a blind man?!"
Xia Dongqing spoke in surprise. He originally thought that Pluto Acha was looking for the soul of a dead person. However, he did not expect that what appeared in front of him was a living person. Moreover, what surprised him even more was that , the other party seems to be a blind person? !
"That's right."
Regarding this, Chacha immediately responded calmly without any cover-up: "He is the person I want to find during this trip."
"What do you want to do with him?"
Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up and sighed: "I would like to advise you out of kindness. Before doing something, it is best to think clearly before making a decision. He may not want what you want to give him. As the saying goes, do not want others to do what you want." This is what I mean by giving to others. I believe you will understand this."
Ignoring the words in Jiang Chen's mouth, Pluto Ah Cha slowly stepped forward. The pond in front of her could not stop her steps at all. In her eyes, there was no other thing except the man carrying the guqin. The steps of the young man who left had already been moving unconsciously.
Step by step, what she is pursuing is right in front of her. Pluto Ah Cha seems to feel a little uneasy. There is still some distance, so she can't help but ask: "Are you leaving?"
"Is there anyone?!"
The words of inquiry came to his ears, which made the young man's heart skip a beat. His steps had stopped. The bamboo stick in his hand was propped up on the ground, supporting his body. He slowly followed the direction of the sound. Turning around slowly: "I'm going back. I've finished practicing today."
"I like the sound of your piano, I listen to it every day."
Pluto Ah Cha smiled and kept walking, step by step, gradually approaching the blind young man.
Behind, Jiang Chen and Xia Dongqing followed silently. Jiang Chen watched the scene in front of him with interest, while Xia Dongqing was surprised to find that following Jiang Chen, his body was As if being supported by an invisible force, stepping on the water feels like walking on flat ground.
The falling footsteps made no sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing the conversation between Hades Acha and the blind young man. This fear was not due to the gap in identity and power between the two parties, but the fear of destroying the atmosphere in front of them.
Hearing the words of Hades Ah Cha, the blind young man was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face: "I thought no one would come here."
"I have never been here, but I can hear the sound of your piano in that dark, lonely space."
Pluto Ah Cha slowly stepped forward and came to the blind young man. She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to caress his cheek, but she hesitated, and her outstretched hand paused in mid-air, at a loss.
"Do you really like it?"
Having said this, the blind young man seemed to be a little depressed. He said, "But none of my friends like my piano sound. Thank you very much for letting me know that there are people in this world who like my piano sound." But, I have to go back today, will you still come tomorrow?"
"tomorrow?"
After being slightly startled, Hades Ah Cha's words also became low: "I won't be able to come tomorrow." After all, she is the Lord of the Underworld. The blessing of the underworld's power makes her extremely powerful, but at the same time, it also limits her range of activities. , if she repeatedly enters the human world, the powerful force will interfere with the stability of the order of the three realms.
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
The blind young man asked again, his words clearly carrying a hint of expectation.
"I won't be able to come the day after tomorrow either."
Hearing this, the blind young man couldn't help but froze on the spot. After a while, he managed to cheer up. With a bit of disappointment, he smiled and comforted Pluto Ah Cha and said: "It doesn't matter. I will come here every day anyway. When will you come?" Come here and you can see me."
Pluto Ah Cha lowered his head, and his words were full of deep meaning: "After today, maybe... I will never be able to come, and we will never meet again."
silence.
The blind young man was silent for a while, and then he said: "That doesn't matter. It's rare to meet a close friend in the mountains and rivers. Life is full of gatherings and separations. You are the first person to like the sound of my piano. In this case, then I'll play you another song, just think of it as a souvenir." As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the guqin across his legs, and gently pressed the strings with both hands.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Pluto Acha interrupted him. She came to him, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and the red lotus mark of karma reappeared on her forehead: "I want to ask you a question, you. ..….Would you like to come with me?”
"Follow you?"
The blind young man's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why should I follow you?"
"If you follow me, you won't have to suffer from birth, old age, sickness or death. There will be no pain of separation. You won't have to experience the pain of life. Your eyes can see the world again. You can play the piano happily forever without worrying about worldly things."
Pluto Ah Cha looked at the blind young man in front of her. There was a strong desire for possession in her eyes.
The blind young man refused: "Do you have to take me away? But I have parents, relatives, friends, people who love me, and people I love. I can't leave them behind. They are mine." Concerned... "
"But these ties are all hardships!"
Hearing the blind young man's rejection, Pluto Ah Cha couldn't help but get furious: "Human weakness and suffering, at first glance, these things are beautiful, but they will become painful due to loss, and people will lose it while they are alive. What you lose will never come back, and what you strive for will always be lost, because you can't resist time!" At this point, her tone suddenly changed and became more tempting: "Come with me, I can help you resist time. invasion."
"Then will I also lose time?"
The blind young man smiled and said: "People have seven emotions and six desires. Only when they don't have what they want will they feel bitter. But it is precisely because of these that the occasional sweetness will make people feel beautiful. If I have a choice, please let me stay." ." As the words fell, the sound of the piano rose, vague and endless.
The beautiful sound of the piano seemed to arouse the desire of Hades Ah Cha. She suddenly raised her hand, and a faint blue light appeared between her fingers. Her eyes lost their previous agility and became extremely sharp.
"don't want."
Suddenly, a hand came across the sky, and silently, it grasped the wrist of Ah Cha, the King of Hades. This hand seemed ordinary, but it seemed to possess endless power, even though Ah Cha, the King of Hades, Tea was also forcibly suppressed in an instant.
"you... ... ... "
Angry and confused, Pluto Acha suddenly turned his head to look at the owner of this hand. It was none other than Jiang Chen. At this moment and here, he was the only one who could possess this strength!
Jiang Chen did not respond to her, but slowly shook his head. Pluto King Acha was slightly startled. The sound of the piano entered his ears for a moment, and his whole person became quiet.
Without realizing it at all, he had already passed through the gate of hell. The blind young man was playing the piano by himself. The faint sound of the piano could penetrate the boundaries of time and space and enter the depths of people's hearts.
Pluto Ah Cha slowly closed her eyes. She was immersed in the beautiful music of the piano. The red lotus mark on her forehead began to gradually fade and eventually disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
At the same time, Jiang Chen finally opened up the deepest corner of his heart. In front of his eyes, there was a bloody land. Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers. A figure in black, holding a cold white bone magic sword, pointed with sharp edge. , pointed directly at Jiang Chen:
"I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're finally here!"
