Walking on the blood-red path paved with black stones, Yin Kuang felt surprisingly calm.
Failed, dead, depressed? Not willing? anger? ashamed? fear
No, not at all!
These negative emotions, when Zhao Yun's White Dragon Silver Spear penetrated his heart, also came out with the White Dragon Silver Spear - and this is already an established fact, and it is past history. The existence called "reason" forces Yin Kuang not to add burden to his heart because of the past. Life is not a single-player game, there is no "loading", and regretting the past is always a stupid behavior and a ridiculous behavior.
Learning from the past that makes you regret so that you will no longer regret it in the future is what you should do now!
Yin Kuang remained motionless, not because he was frustrated by failure or afraid of death, but because he was thinking. Think about the past and focus on the present.
People are afraid because of ignorance. Fear of death due to ignorance of death. But now, Yin Kuang has truly experienced death, but he is no longer afraid of death. Because he already understands death, and uses his own body and soul to understand and touch death—the nightmare that haunts all living things!
That's right, he was deducted 8,000 learning points, two C-level evaluation points, and 10 years of life! But Yin Kuang feels that it is really worth using these as a price to understand the experience of "death". No matter what others think, Yin Kuang thinks it is a good deal. This time, the joint entrance exam for Class 3 of "Red Cliff" was worth it!
Moreover, the lesson of death taught Yin Kuang that "there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world." This is a truth that everyone understands, but everyone often ignores. Yin Kuang felt that he would never look down on anyone again!
A death is a new life!
"There is still a chance!" Yin Kuang warned himself! Self, "As long as you live, everything is possible!"
Unknowingly, Yin Kuang arrived at the edge of Jingling Lake. Jingling Lake is still the same Jingling Lake. The water is as black as ink, and there is no ripple on the surface. It doesn't look like a lake at all, but more like a black stone slab.
"Jingling Lake... is it because you can purify the soul?" Yin Kuang couldn't help but think to himself.
"Do you know why it's called Jingling Lake?"
"Who? Hou... Lord Hou..." Yin Kuang was stunned.
The person who suddenly appeared next to Yin Kuang was the person in charge of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye who was on the same level as the President of the Student Union!
Still wearing the black robe of a Sith warrior, the Marquis seemed to be forever shrouded in unknown darkness, just like the deep, dark, vast universe.
Maybe the Marquis is too powerful, or maybe Yin Kuang is too weak. Standing in front of the Marquis, Yin Kuang always feels an inexplicable discomfort. To use an image metaphor, it's like being in the deep sea. The chaotic and surging undercurrent is acting on your body all the time, as if it is crushing and twisting yourself. How uncomfortable it is!
The Marquis did not restrain his aura because of Yin Kuang's discomfort. His head shrouded in a dark cloak turned to Yin Kuang, and then turned back. At this moment, Yin Kuang only saw a slender and slightly pointed chin, and the rest was shrouded in darkness.
He walked slowly to the edge of the lake, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and stroked the black water of Jingling Lake with his hand wearing pitch black gloves. There was no ripple in the black water, which was really abnormal. Then, the Marquis scooped up a spoonful of water with his hand. Yin Kuang saw to his surprise that the water turned into a translucent paste. It slowly slipped from the Marquis's fingertips and returned to Jingling Lake. Still unable to Stir up ripples.
"Did you see it?" Mr. Hou slowly stood up and said: "Actually, Jingling Lake should have been called Jinling Lake. It means 'forbidden'. Later, a certain senior thought that 'forbidden' means 'forbidden'." It didn't sound good, so I changed it to 'Jing' which means 'purify'. Although the word has been changed, the actual meaning has not changed much. Because this place imprisons the soul and also purifies the soul."
Yin Kuang took a breath, adjusted his tone, and said, "Please give me some advice from the Marquis."
"Do you know why Wan Ming hates me to the core?" Mr. Hou said with a hint of joking, and then answered himself, "Because I drove the 'black bones' into the 'Jingling Lake'. People who have exhausted their lifespan have the right to terminate Choose whether to throw the opponent's soul into the 'Jingling Lake'. The soul that enters the Jingling Lake can get a chance to be resurrected. Gaining new life, we call it 'purification'."
"Senior Flame Flame said so."
"Then she must not have said that only those who end their lives have the right to resurrect their lives. In other words, whether the Black Bones can be resurrected is in my hands." The Marquis stretched out his hand and slowly clenched his fist, "What happened just now? A spoonful of 'water' is the soul of 'Black Bone'. Can't you see it at all? If I don't resurrect him, he will be imprisoned here forever."
Yin Kuang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "Master Hou... why are you telling me this."
"It's nothing." Mr. Hou clapped his hands and said, "It's just that some stupid people always make up stupid lies to give people vain hope. But they don't know that behind the hope, there is endless despair. And I want to What we do is to put despair directly in front of people. It's like a mirror. Only when you put it in front of your eyes can you see your true face."
“…”
The Marquis turned around slowly and said, "You just passed the 'joint examination', right? Tell me, what was the result?"
Yin Kuang took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said: "I failed the joint examination."
"Oh, it failed." Mr. Hou said calmly: "It's normal to fail, and it's normal to succeed. But I saw a look of death on your face. You must have come back from the dead, right? How about, Have you tasted the taste of death? I think you must have a lot of feelings."
Yin Kuang nodded and asked: "Master Hou, may I ask what you mean by 'failure is normal'?"
The Marquis shook his robe and said: "Forget it, it's boring anyway, so I'll give you some popular science. In fact, it's just an afterthought. There are reasons why the seniors don't tell you. First, they don't have time and are not in the mood; second, well, People, without bloody lessons, will not gain enlightenment. The 'joint school examination' is actually the most difficult and easiest exam. The only key lies in the word 'joint'."
"Lian?"
Mr. Hou joked: "If my guess is correct, you and the other two classes should be fighting passionately, right?"
"Yes. Class 1236 is basically disabled. Class 1207 is probably not going to have a hard time either. Seriously, our class has the largest number of survivors."
"Oh. It's a brilliant record." The Marquis said: "How about saying 'you will not survive for your own fault'? Haha, you little rookies, it seems you haven't woken up yet. You deserve to be defeated, you are so crippled." Disabled. Thinking about Chongming and I back then... the "Joint Entrance Examination" achieved 100% plot twist. The generous rewards at that time, I feel a little emotional now when I think about them."
"100%!?"
"Don't you understand? The so-called 'joint examination' is not just for you to fight and scheme after you're full, you little rookies."
"what do you mean… "
"You have a lot of killing points, right? Haha. The principal also reminded you: promote competition and discourage killing, right? In addition, the rewards for your exam this time are low, and the difficulty changes greatly, you worked hard but failed in the end , and some classes still achieve final victory even if they are beaten. Is it possible for the 'principal' who is always known for his fairness to do this? After talking so much nonsense to you, if you don't know it yet, I will throw you into the Go to Jingling Lake and take a good bath."
"What you mean is... if the three classes join together at the beginning..."
"You are not stupid." The Marquis said: "You are fighting against each other, so naturally you are at odds with the principal. So I say, you are not aware. However, the past is in the past, and the future is still in the future. It depends on how much you have learned. The so-called hatred, disputes, friends, enemies, love... In the face of life, they are vulnerable and useless. In order to survive, betrayal, deception, and being brothers with the people you hate so much... you can do anything. This, This is the way to survive in colleges and universities. Boy, are you aware of it?"
"Hahahaha. I am indeed idle, and I have talked so much with you. As expected, people feel cold when they reach high places. Boy, let's taste the taste of death and failure again. In college, you have to learn There are many, many more things.”
While smiling, the figure of the Marquis gradually disappeared from Yin Kuang's eyes.
Yin Kuang turned around, took a look at his soul, took a few steps back unconsciously, and then walked towards the dormitory area. Yin Kuang felt that he needed to be alone to think again.
