Telling about the past with Yang Sheng is like a process of peeling off a wound for me. Although the time of entanglement has become long ago, I still feel pain when I recall it.
We don't spend much time together, but feelings are never measured in this way. After all, he is the first person who is truly defined by making friends when I was growing up, rather than a playmate who grew up together like Su Rou. , and then become brothers.
All kinds of past events are like old scenes in a movie, frozen one by one. In the beginning, boxing training, the promise of separation, the joy of seeing each other, the terrifying deserted village, the tenacious sister-in-law Jingyi... Later, my words were inevitably mixed. There is no way to control various personal feelings.
I don’t know how long I talked for, half an hour or forty minutes? Anyway, after I finished speaking, everyone in the room became quiet... .
"I didn't expect that you and Yang Sheng would have such a past, and he would actually write you such a letter." Brother Chengxin commented from the side.
I don’t know why, Yang Sheng is the person I least want to mention. A past incident, even people close to me, such as Brother Chengxin, don’t know everything about him and me, so he couldn’t help but sigh. .
"This person..." Brother Chengqing muttered, but didn't know what to say.
"From everything I know, Yang Sheng is probably too paranoid about everything his teacher left behind. I personally feel that this person is very emotionless, but I didn't expect that he still has some humanity in you." Lu Shan also I know some things about Yang Sheng. After all, he told me about Yang Sheng’s secret past, but he has never been exposed to Yang Sheng’s human side.
Johnny dragged his chin with his fingers until everyone had finished expressing their emotions, and then he looked at me and said, "It's just a more personal question, and I want you to answer it."
"Huh?" I felt a little depressed, so I lit a cigarette, and the smoke curled up, but the depression did not dissipate.
"Then has Yang Sheng ever visited that woman named Jingyi again? And his son, who is almost 10 years old now. Has he ever visited her?" Johnny asked seriously, indeed this question The look of indifference.
"He has never visited Jingyi's sister-in-law, at least not as far as I know. As for his son, he has never visited her once." I shook my head and said, just feeling how could a person be so ruthless
"This mentality is already possessed. It seems to be a complete letting go of an ideal, but in fact it is a kind of obsession. Without picking it up, it is resolutely abandoned completely. The paranoid pursuit is not a true ideal mentality at all. Even so, it still remains true. 1. I’m sorry that you have such a destined enemy. It’s terrible. Once anything becomes a kind of mental ‘Tao’, even the Tao of death, it’s terrifying and will burst out with incredible power.” Johnny commented like this.
"Why should I be a destined enemy with him?" Although I had this speculation before, I never thought that Yang Sheng would be called an 'old enemy'. After all, when we first came into contact, we were friends who truly appreciated each other. .
I intuitively use the term "destined enemy" to be more suitable for Zhang Han, Yan Chenning and others.
"He is the old enemy of fate. There is no doubt about this. I can finally tell this past story..." As he spoke, Johnny tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and began to talk.
Johnny at that time was not Johnny, he was Sharma, a noble Brahmin from India, a true Hindu and the son of God.
"I was probably the most fanatical religious believer at that time. I never thought that one day I would no longer believe in Hinduism and become a Taoist. Of course, even though I changed my beliefs, I am not saying that the religion I once believed in was not good. Okay, it’s just that everything about Taoism makes me feel more relevant, and there are two key people in me who have changed, one is naturally your master, Lao Li, and the other is Alina, she is the love of my life."
At this point, Johnny paused and closed his eyes. He seemed to be recalling the past. I thought he would have a long speech, but I didn't expect that he really just brushed it off: "I have no interest in talking about various past events now. I just feel that India is my hometown, and because of Li, China is like my second hometown, so my Mandarin pronunciation is even more standard than yours (he refers to me, Mandarin that always has a Sichuan flavor), as for Alina, she made me fall in love with steak, hahaha... Fortunately, at that time, I was no longer a Hindu, but a Taoist. I discovered that one's faith is actually related to one's feelings and experiences. Faith is a kind of gentle comfort, power from the spirit. It always has to be close to the person in order for him to believe in something from his soul. Just like you in China, it seems that there is almost no faith on the surface. In fact, everything about Taoism has been Buried deep in their hearts, an opportunity may be able to awaken this ancient faith. After all, this is the seed of faith that has been planted in your hearts by thousands of years of culture, and is the seed of faith that is most relevant to you."
After Johnny finished speaking, he took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "I always think of the past, so I can't help but say a few words. Do you mind?" He winked his glasses at me mischievously, and he almost didn't look like that at this moment. A grumpy old man.
I shook my head and said I didn't mind. In fact, I didn't mind. His words really touched my heart.
"The reason why you and Yang Sheng are the speed of destiny is because it involves a past incident between me and your master. Knowing that your master is Li's true... well, is it his true mission to be precise?" Johnny asked us.
Regarding this matter, we have some vague guesses, but we are not sure, so we are waiting for Johnny's next words.
"In my opinion, he is like a scavenger, a mysterious scavenger from Kunlun, who persistently wants to clean up the 'garbage' left here by Kunlun, understand? For example, you have seen the purple Plants, purple bugs, etc... Do you understand? In fact, Li told me an interesting thing. He said that these damn things are not necessarily purple in Kunlun, but when they get here, they gradually become uniform. Purple! There is a reason for this, because what does purple mean? It represents nobility! These things from Kunlun think they are nobler than everything else in this world. This is what Li told me, but I don’t know if there is any basis for it." When Johnny said this, there was a smile on his lips, as if he was really telling something interesting.
"We have some vague guesses about this, but what is the point?" I am actually a little confused. I don't understand why Master is obsessed with this, let alone what is the real point of this matter
"The point? The point is the harm, the deep-rooted harm to the human race! To use a metaphor, even if it is a strong baby, you can't let it learn to run. Even if it is a healthy adult, you can't let it Swallowing several real wild ginseng trees at one time and taking it one step at a time is the truth, especially for a group of people! Any behavior that encourages the growth of young people will have devastating consequences. What’s more, everything that comes from there has a negative impact on this place. But without a sense of identity and any emotion, it would be like making you smaller and placing you among a group of ants. Can you have a sense of identity and emotion? If you use them, you will also be used by them. Do you think this is a devastating disaster? ? Let me make a metaphor, I mean - Soul of Kunlun!" Johnny said seriously.
I couldn't help but shudder. I have seen how terrifying the Kunlun Soul is, even a trace of its remnant soul! A city lord was created, and a Yu Cuizi was created. Yu Cuizi was created because the emotions in his heart had become demonic, leaving irreversible weaknesses, while the city lord was created because of the remnant soul left by his master, otherwise... .
"It seems that you understand, but that Kunlun Soul is just a little guy, there are big ones! I told you that there is one under the Ganges River. It was me and Li who suppressed it personally. Do you believe it?" Johnny said this It seemed very relaxed and unburdened, but I felt a kind of tragedy from his words.
He didn't go into details, so I didn't ask. I knew he would talk about the existence under the Ganges in detail later.
"Many things in this world are contradictory." Sure enough, Johnny changed the subject. Obviously he had more important things to tell me: "For example, the disasters caused by Kunlun can only be dealt with by those who have accepted the inheritance of Kunlun. But People who have accepted the inheritance of Kunlun are, in a sense, Kunlun people again. They must abide by the highest law of Kunlun, which is the existence of Kunlun. They must not hurt each other in this world, not even a single plant or tree! You My master cannot do anything personally. He always racks his brains and uses various methods to eliminate powerful existences. He tries to find ways to suppress them. But suppression is not a long-term solution... The past history between your master and me is nothing more than that. It was me, your master, who was the one who suppressed the existence under the Ganges back then! He had been waiting, and then he disappeared, so I was waiting. Your master once said that he would use a There is a way to completely deal with these guys, but it requires the help of others, a disciple whose destiny is connected with him. He said that he could not wait for that day. This kind of waiting became me. This secret, in fact, only Jennifer Those few top cultivators know." Johnny finished these words in one breath, and then looked at me with questioning eyes.
I knew that what he meant by that look was to ask me if I understood
At this time, I finally understood a lot of things and figured out the ins and outs of many things, so I couldn't help but say: "So Yang Shenghui and I are old enemies. He persistently wants to use everything from Kunlun to let humans take shortcuts. And my destiny is to carry the master's will and eliminate everything that comes from there. The four major forces will confront me. It was also because of the battle at Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts that I exposed this carrying capacity. Their hopes were all overturned. Put it on the Kunlun thing..." At this point, I paused, and then said: "After all, you said that the top cultivators know about it. I think there must be someone who knows about it."
"That's what I mean, do you understand? You and Yang Sheng are the real enemies of fate! And the wheel of your fate starts from the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. You will face all kinds of horrors, and finally you have to go to Penglai. In Penglai Around you, your master has done an earth-shattering thing. He used the power of Penglai itself to suppress the most powerful guy! What do you say about that guy? He is a pitiful guy, and his own form is no longer recognized by Kunlun. It is not suitable for Kunlun's acceptance. In fact, all Kunlun souls are, but where is its power? If it is not destroyed, it will be a disaster for the world. Your master said, it will soon It’s hard to imagine what kind of changes it will bring to the world if it possesses a great figure. However, there is a group of such selfish people who desperately want to release the Kunlun Soul for their own selfish interests... It’s really bad. ." When Johnny said this, he sighed: "I was too closed-minded. I didn't expect that such a person has appeared and gained such power. This person is Yang Sheng. If he doesn't appear, you won't be able to carry it. On such a mission..."
"But, I...you said you woke up my master. I really have no way of guessing the specific meaning of this matter." I finally asked the question I had always wanted to ask.
"Don't you understand? In every place of suppression, there is the remnant soul of your master. The last thing he did was to decompose his own soul and stick to every place of suppression, waiting for you to awaken him!" Johnny said seriously, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"You..." I stood up all of a sudden and couldn't help but say, "You don't mean to say that my master is actually... gone."
"No, I'm not sure! He is a magical person. Like your master, I believe he has returned to Kunlun even more, although this is a beautiful hope." Johnny said more seriously.
And I sat slumped on the sofa, and this time I found that I had an urge to cry loudly in my heart. The master is gone? Although Johnny said that he believed that the master had returned to Kunlun, how could someone who disintegrated his soul into residual souls still exist
