Vol 2 Chapter 343: Guardian of the world (end of volume)
The north wind blows through the cliffs, and thick clouds flow through the dome, obscuring the last brilliance of the sky. Jiang Ling stood quietly in front of the door, without making a sound or moving, until the sound of footsteps finally stopped a dozen steps away, she let out a long breath and turned her head slowly.
Under the darkening night, a young man with pitch-black pupils was standing there.
The two stood at a distance of ten steps apart. The slightly cold wind in late summer passed by, and the jackets of the boy and the girl hunted in the wind.
I don't know how long it was speechless, this time it was Han Jiangchen who broke the silence first.
"Are you going to find that'Daozi'?"
The breeze blew the girl's forehead, and she didn't look at Han Jiangchen's gaze in front of her, but she could understand what that gaze contained.
He rarely expresses, but in fact he knows everything.
Jiang Ling took a deep breath. She knew what she had to say at this time.
"Actually, I've been lying to you all the time. All the time, what you see me is what I want you to see."
She smiled and said: "The real me is a hypocritical, timid, stupid, and useless person. In order to survive, I can only pretend to be another person-that is my brother."
"And now, he is back."
Her voice lowered: "Whether it's a resurrection or something else...As long as he still exists, I'm just a walking dead."
"The moment he reappeared in this world with that face, I have no other choice-so you don't have to stop me, this is the battle I must fight. Between me and him, I can only live one."
When she said this, she smiled and raised her head to look at the boy on the opposite side. He was also looking at her silently, in the dim light of the setting sun, the dark pupils seemed to be bottomless.
"Then, I will go with you." He said suddenly.
The words were not strong, but they shocked Jiang Ling's pupils.
She stared at the dark and deep eyes in front of her, and the determination in those eyes was like a sharp blade. She had never thought that he could have such a look.
There was a long silence, and the two of them stood with their eyes facing each other, her fists were tightened and released, and she shook her head slightly after all.
"It doesn't make sense." She sighed softly. "You've seen it before. No one can change anything in the face of that kind of poor strength. This is just a pure gambling game, and you shouldn't be in this game from the beginning. , I just went to die in vain...but you shouldn't be ruined here yet."
She said this aggravated her tone: "Just as I said before, you have to protect more important things. This is also your responsibility to kill the demon, isn't it? Unlike me, you should have become the guardian of this world. Well, you shouldn’t be the one who blindly follows others."
Seeing Han Jiangchen's silence, she knew that this must be said.
There are still people in this world who need him. For him, this is a meaning that cannot be abandoned.
But after a long time, Han Jiangchen still didn't speak, and didn't mean to compromise at all. She stared at the young man in front of her in a daze, the sadness on her face was like pattering rain.
She felt like she was going to be swallowed by the rain.
Jiang Ling bit her lip, and she trembled as if she was in a rainstorm, as if she suddenly vented her strength.
"I beg you, okay?" She lowered her eyes and said in a begging tone, "...Don't follow me."
Don't follow.
Don't follow.
Han Jiangchen was shocked and did not answer. He just stood in the bleak wind for a long time, holding the veins in his hands.
This is simply fatal to him. Accepting this is tantamount to sending her to death, but how could he refuse the girl's begging?
He has never hated his weakness so much.
It was as if a basin of cold water had broken into the flames, and it fell in Jiang Ling's eyes, but her expression became more relaxed. After another long silence, she suddenly ran two steps forward, opened her hand, and held his shoulder tightly.
"...thank you."
Feeling the instant stiffness of the body, she took a deep breath of the oncoming wind, let the coldness press down the heat flowing to the tip of her nose, and then she leaned to his ear and repeated.
"thank you."
From beginning to end, Han Jiangchen didn’t say a word, but just stood there stiffly, watching the girl slowly let go of her arms that embraced him, and then slowly turned around and ran forward, ran out of the school gate, and ran. Going up the mountain road, rushing to the boundless sky ahead, finally turned into a small dot at the end of the field of vision, disappearing into the overwhelming night.
The daylight on the horizon dimmed, and the shadows under his feet were getting longer and longer in the twilight. He stood motionless and stared at the front. It wasn't until the setting sun completely sank into the ground and the shadow completely submerged in the darkness that he suddenly turned around and slammed his fist against the wall next to him.
......
"Perhaps, your theory of humans and dogs was wrong from the beginning."
After a long period of pondering, Zulong spoke again: "If the dog knew that he was a dog from the beginning, then he shouldn't follow that person. Holding the wrong hope will only bring deeper pain."
"What's this? If the result is separation, is the encounter wrong?" Wei Ze shook his head, "At least I don't think so. If you don't try it, who knows if a dog will become a human?"
At this time, his temperament seemed to change suddenly, the oppressive aura faded like a tide, and the whole person sat there looking lazy. If you hold a fan in your hand, it will be like a master storyteller. .
He himself couldn't tell what kind of atmosphere it was, but he liked it very much... the feeling of belonging to himself.
"The role of the'teacher' you mentioned is to turn a dog into a human?" Zu Long obviously couldn't understand what he said.
"It's not for me to decide. Whether he can become a human being is his own choice. What if he wants to be a chicken, duck, salted fish?" Wei Ze smiled, "All I can do is lead them to Before this road, as to which way to go and how to go, that is their own'Tao'."
"Even if they choose to die?" Zu Long asked in a deep voice, "Like the woman this time?"
This time Wei Ze did not answer. He just climbed by the window and looked into the distance, watching the night fall on the whole world, everything in the world is confusing and confusing.
He still needs a lot of answers. I can't see the answer when I look up, so I just bow my head.
"This answer requires them to teach me." He looked at the school gate towering at night, "The teacher also wants to learn something from the students, isn't it?"
......
On the horizon, the setting sun sinks into the ground, the night sky shifts and the stars shift, and at a certain moment the dawn breaks again. When the sun shines on the earth again, countless birds soar from the mountains and rush towards the boundless sky.
Under their wings, in this extraordinary piece of land, pill smoke is emerging from the chimney of the new factory building of Chu's enterprise, and boxes of mass-produced pill and talisman are being rolled out from the lathe assembly line; under the sun , The turf in the center of Ancheng Olimpic was glowing, and the Yin and Yang flag of the Fairy Games was still hanging on the door, watching the inflow and outflow of the billowing crowds.
Farther afield, the waves are hitting the reefs, the new vegetation burrows out of the soil, the city is lit up with dazzling colorful lights, people are walking on their own roads, meeting and separating from whom, coming and going, Joy, joy and sorrow.
The birds witnessed all the chaos on this road, but did not remember a single bit.
They just flew with their wings spread, and disappeared into the sky after passing through heavy clouds, leaving no trace in the sky. Only scattered flying feathers fell from a high altitude, riding in the wind, and passing through the steel-dense earth.
At a certain moment, the young man on the road shrugged his nose slightly and raised his eyes suddenly.
In the blue sky, a black and white bird's feather is spinning down. He raised his hand subconsciously so that the feather was falling into the palm of his palm, and when he held it close to smell it, a special faint breath could be faintly smelled on it.
He picked up the feather from his palm and twisted it at his fingertips, as if to pinch a hope from afar.
"It just happens that the vocational correction of the Xiuxian special project is in preparation. We plan to place you there first, and learn basic knowledge with other people first. During this period, we will regularly cooperate with the project team to conduct experiments and supplement the basic education content by the way."
The executive who led the way behind him said: "If the results are good, even if the college entrance examination is not on time, you may be selected into the country's special talent program for cultivation of immortals. At that time, you may have the opportunity to visit the university or exchange."
Su Yuzhu agreed without saying much, just staring at the feathers on his fingertips, his nose shrugged.
But the other executive next to him listened, and talked with the person who was speaking casually, with a strange expression on his face.
"Speaking of that national special plan...Although it is said to vigorously cultivate talents for cultivating immortals, a major reform of this kind has suddenly appeared in the past few days, and vocational schools have been merged directly. This is to start to pay close attention to the labor force of immortal cultivators. ?"
"It's more than that. Do you know who is behind this special plan?" The person looked around and lowered his voice. "It is said that this was allocated by the State ///Defense and Army /// This involves the top few big figures... that is to say, this is essentially militarized training."
"National defense?" The listener was taken aback. "This is... Is it going to start to develop so soon?"
"Actually, some aura-induced climate changes have been discovered in the far north of Rosa. This speed has doubled as expected. It is difficult to say whether the recovery will be faster in the future. This matter is not sure, we You can only prepare yourself."
The executor said, his gaze fell on the young man in front of him: "Moreover, even in China, haven't we already seen the fairy gate this time? I see, the upper part is probably getting nervous now. Next, except for the increase in troops. In addition to speeding up production... we have to continue to pay attention to the things in that university. Judging from the situation of the first emperor’s tomb this time, this may not be the biggest hole card in our hand."
"Oh... I should have expected this." The listener sighed heavily, and looked up at the sky that the spirit bird swept over. "This change... after all, it is not a one-person change."
......
At the same moment, in another corner of the city, a girl screamed hurriedly within a wall.
"Come! Here come, come!"
The petite figure rushed to the window, shaking her fingers, and fiddled with it for a long time before opening the window. The white dove hovering outside the window cooed and flew in, and handed the letterhead that was in her mouth into her hand. The five words "admission notice" were clearly visible on it.
"what..."
The girl's fingers trembled, almost unable to lift the thin piece of letter paper.
Holding her breath, she carefully put the paper on the table, then carefully opened the envelope, removed the yellow paper inside, and saw the top line of words.
[Dear Yang Xiaohe, congratulations on being accepted by our school...]
At the end of the letter, the emblem of the cloud around the yin and yang that she was thinking about was printed.
She read the letter over and over, and over and over again, until the sentence on it was about to be memorized, she reluctantly retracted it into the envelope, flicked it on the bed, reached out and grabbed the fluffy dog next to the pillow. Into the arms.
"I passed the exam! I passed the exam!"
The spirit pigeon by the window tilted her head and watched the girl writhing on the bed holding the toy, kicking and kicking her legs like a duckling. After a long time, she reluctantly calmed down and stood up under the quilt. , Touched the little notebook from the bedside table.
When she opened the book, there were densely packed Kunlun University student information. She stroked the names one by one that had been read many times, and stopped at the last page with her finger. Only one person's name was written on it: Xie Tianyang.
I can finally find him.
I can finally see them.
Finally...go to that school.
She hugged the little notebook in her arms, lay on her back on the bed, facing the ceiling, happily silly.
.......
Half a month later, traffic from all over the country once again rushed to the foot of Yushan, with the sound of horns surging one after another.
Ancheng City // The government has been mentally prepared for this and set up traffic control at the intersection a few days before the start of school~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You must get off the car and walk on foot to ensure the most basic traffic. order.
Over the past two years, this area has long been developed by the Environmental Construction Bureau. Five kilometers away, a sign indicating "Kunlun University Campus Ahead" was already placed.
Going further in, the road is designed into an ingenious ring. The yin and yang flags on both sides are slightly swaggered. The entrances to the mountain are arranged according to the gossip. There are carefully designed rockery landscaping and embossed walls around them. It is a masterpiece of the designers during the Fairy Games. .
In the early morning sunlight, groups of people wandered across the mountains, stepping on countless vigorous footprints, exchanging guesses and expectations along the way-but no one would have guessed, a few days ago, someone had just arrived from them. Left on this road.
They just waited in excitement, one after another gathered to the newly built fountain platform in front of the mountain, standing on the huge cloud around the Yin and Yang emblem, thousands of eyes gathered to the long steps, like the believers in Jerusalem looking far away. The holy city.
In such gazes, under the bright sunshine, they saw hundreds of figures in Taoist robes falling from the mountain top, and hundreds of clear voices resounded across the mountains in unison.
"Welcome to Kunlun University."
