Chapter 1472: Has There Ever Been a Door in the World?
Jiang Wang held the fishing line made of the Nine Chapters Jade Bi, and kept pulling it up.
Passing through the strong wind and blizzard, the shattered rocks of Fushan Mountain, and the violent thunder.
Finally crashed into a dark cloud.
Wang Changji, with thin shoulders and thin clothes, sat on the edge of the dark cloud, with wind, thunder and blizzard as his background.
Holding the warm fishing rod, he slowly reeled in the line.
"I also brought my friend." Jiang Wang let go of the fishing line and said as he walked forward: "I don't know what you need to do, but I think it may be a little more powerful."
When they met again, both of them were much more casual.
"It couldn't be better." Wang Changji reached out his hand and put away the fishing rod and fishing line. He stood up and nodded to Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu, saying, "I was rude earlier. Please forgive me."
Yue Tiannu put his palms together and said politely, "I should thank the donor. Thank you for your wake-up call, which made me suddenly clear my mind."
Wang Changji just nodded slightly, and it was considered a greeting.
Zuo Guangshu looked at Brother Jiang's friend with some curiosity, and said, "I should thank you too. The frog in the well has been content for a long time, and you have made me know the world outside the world."
Wang Changji said casually, "With Jiang Wang here, there are not many worlds outside the world."
This is of course a very high evaluation!
Yue Tiannu's eyes flashed with surprise. Because she can better understand Wang Changji's realm and has the deepest feeling of Wang Changji's strength. Can Jiang Wang get such a high evaluation from him?
She thought she knew Jiang Wang very well, but now she suddenly felt that there should be something she didn't see.
"Don't say these words, it makes me ashamed." Jiang Wang said in a shameful voice: "You have warned me in advance, but I still fell into the trap, driven by Chaos, and made the sky fall ahead of schedule..."
"Chaos?" Wang Changji raised his eyes and seemed to be interested.
Jiang Wang was surprised and said: "I thought you knew it a long time ago."
Wang Changji shook his head gently: "I guess there may be a few forces, and I can definitely feel a few fishing lines, but I don't know who is fighting for it."
Jiang Wang then roughly told them how they set foot on the road to the descent of the gods, how they saw Chaos, and how they were used by Chaos.
Wang Changji listened to him quietly after he finished talking about his trip to the Withered South Abyss, without making any comments, and only said: "So that's how it is."
Jiang Wang looked at him: "Why did Brother Wang teach me?"
"Let's talk about this later." Wang Changji said: "You brought a friend here, and I just want to introduce someone to you."
From Zuo Guangshu, Jiang Wang had long known that Wang Changji had someone accompanying him to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although he was surprised why he didn't see him last time, he didn't take it too seriously.
But Wang Changji's serious proposal at this time made him subconsciously pay more attention.
"Which talent do you want to introduce to me, Brother Wang?" he asked.
At this moment, the dark clouds did not dissipate, and the doomsday scene did not change, but Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu disappeared from sight.
Everything was still so natural and untraceable.
Jiang Wang then knew that he had once again entered the special environment constructed by Wang Changji.
It should be some kind of exquisite application based on the soul.
If it is a confrontation, there are probably two ideas. One is to quickly launch a complex soul attack to disrupt the construction of this environment and capture loopholes in the movement. The second is to directly burst out the strongest Taoist or swordsmanship, breaking the soul level from the realistic level, that is, to drive away the opponent, and also to withdraw from this environment.
Of course, you can also start from other directions...
He has no hostility towards Wang Changji now, it is just an instinctive rehearsal for the battle.
The strong always look forward to the confrontation with the strong.
Just thinking about it, behind Wang Changji, a thin-faced young man walked out from the depths of the dark clouds.
This man is really too thin.
When I was in Fenglin City before, it seems that he was not so thin.
Compared with the meeting at the gate of Qingyun Pavilion, there are some differences.
But Jiang Wang couldn't really say more specific changes.
Because he never cared much about this person.
Life is a sea, and most people just pass by.
"Brother Jiang, long time no see..." Fang Heling spoke first, his expression was a little complicated: "Things in the past, now thinking about it is really childish, there is no need to talk about it. I am now practicing with Brother Wang, and my purpose is the same as yours and Brother Wang. We are the lonely ghosts who survived in Fenglin City, wandering in this helpless world. We have the same hatred, Brother Jiang, we have a common enemy."
He did not talk about the old friendship with Jiang Wang, because the two of them did not have any old friendship to speak of.
He talked about the old hatred. The common hatred.
What he pointed out was his current reliance, and what he made clear in one sentence was the interests of both parties.
Compared to the recklessness and childishness in Fenglin City back then, he has really grown up more than a little.
But Jiang Wang just said calmly: "The human demon is also my enemy."
This word is like a sword, although it is in the sheath, it has cut through those vague connections.
He does have a blood feud, which is deeply hidden in his heart.
Fang Heling is indeed an old friend.
Their lives were indeed destroyed by the same disaster, and they did have the same enemies.
But this does not mean that he can cooperate with anyone or tolerate anything.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
Because a person, in addition to his own love, hatred, and vengeance, also has the morality of being a human being and the covenant of being a human being.
He would never forget the scene he saw at the gate of Qingyunting, where Fang Heling was among the human and demon team.
At that time, he had personally killed two of the four demons who were killing innocent people and cooking people for fun. If it weren't for Yan Chunhui's intervention, the masked demon would have died.
Fang Heling was no different from other human demons here.
If he appeared in Duanhun Gorge at that time, it would be nothing more than an extra sword.
Probably the only difference is...
Fang Heling is also from Maplewood City.
Fang Heling's family was also destroyed in that desperate day.
But among those personal demons, who doesn’t have a tragic past?
Including Zheng Fei, including Li Shou, including the extremely evil abandoned disciple Huan Tao of the Mo Sect who had the body of a hungry ghost, and even the fortune teller demon, who didn't have some so-called pain and struggle?
But when they were killing innocent people, when they were competing to pile up corpses... did they ever stop and listen to other people's stories?
Jiang Wang said this to Fang Heling and also to Wang Changji.
The Bone Evil God is his enemy, Zhuang Gaoxian is his enemy, and Zhang Linchuan is his enemy. But extremely vicious beings such as human demons are also his enemies.
The former is the blood feud he has against himself, and the latter is the responsibility he told himself when he first mentioned the wooden sword.
Adults have responsibilities towards children, the strong have responsibilities towards the weak, and extraordinary people should have extraordinary responsibilities.
This is his way.
He can't control the injustice in the world, and he can't kill all the evil people in the world, but within the reach of a three-foot green sword, there should be justice that belongs to him.
In the previous conversation, he and Wang Changji confirmed each other's direction. He described the future he imagined, and he would do his best to move toward that future. But there is always a bottom line, and the ends justify the means.
Because someone had awakened him a long time ago - using the wrong method will not achieve the right purpose. Mistakes are mistakes, no matter how you paint them.
If Wang Changji could not agree, he would rather continue to walk alone.
A long night alone may be too lonely. But it is better to be alone and have a clear conscience than to have an uneasy conscience in a crowd of friends.
When Jiang Wang said this, there was no strong emotion and his tone was indifferent.
But his determination will not be missed.
Fang Heling almost immediately bowed deeply: "Senior Brother Jiang! When I was in Maplewood City before, I was really too ignorant! I was narrow-minded and dirty and despicable. I did many, many wrong things and hurt many people. Now I think I am still very ashamed. I know I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize to you...please forgive me!"
He bowed to the end, his head lowered than his knees, showing an extremely humble attitude.
Jiang Wang stepped aside, refusing to accept the bow: "Fang Heling, you said you wanted to apologize to me for what happened back then, but I can't even remember what you owed me. This little quarrel is not worth mentioning. I I didn’t hold back on you either. But now, I’m just different from you.”
Fang Heling stood up, hunched over his back, letting himself look up at Jiang Wang, and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Jiang, if you say this, you still have a problem with me. Yes, my apology is indeed not sincere enough."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself.
Snapped!
This slap is so crisp.
The right side of his face immediately swelled.
There was still a smile on his swollen face: "Or you said, how can you forgive me? I will do what I can do, and I will find a way to do what I can't do. In short, as long as you Give me a chance and I will satisfy you.”
Jiang Wang's attitude made it almost impossible to get along with him.
But Fang Heling didn't feel that Wang Changji had any choice between himself and Jiang Wang.
There is no need to talk about moral character. Even from the perspective of the most realistic interests, Jiang Wang was far better than him and far more talented than him. In the past, present, and foreseeable future, they are far stronger than him.
Even he himself couldn't find the reason why Wang Changji abandoned Jiang Wang and chose him.
So he was never willing to put himself on the opposite side of Jiang Wang.
So he humbled himself and apologized, so he slapped himself. He can even kneel down and kowtow a few times. He can be as mean as a dog, or even meaner than a dog!
As long as Jiang Wang doesn't kill his chance...
If Wang Changji gave up, how could he get in front of Zhang Linchuan on his own?
Facing Fang Heling in this posture.
Jiang Wang's tone was still calm, almost cold: "Listen, Fang Heling. I don't know what has happened to you in these years, and I don't want to know. In this world, no one has an easy life. I have no feelings for you. Hatred, of course, is not forgiveness. You can do whatever you want without performing in front of me."
"Senior Brother Jiang, give me a chance." Fang Heling raised his hand and slapped himself again. Now both sides of his face were swollen, but he was still smiling, as if he couldn't feel Jiang Wang's rejection at all: "I just I want to take revenge with you and Brother Wang, I just want revenge."
"The same goal doesn't mean we can walk together. You have your way, and I have mine." Jiang Wang simply said: "I said, we have different ways."
Snapped!
Fang Heling slapped herself again, making the corners of her mouth bleed.
Still grinning, he spoke with a smile: "My father is dead. He is the father who held a banquet in Wangyue Tower. Please give me, this good-for-nothing, some confidence. He is dead. As soon as Zhang Linchuan raised his hand, a bolt of lightning fell, and he He died without any dignity at all."
Jiang Wang fell silent.
To him, Fang Zehou was undoubtedly a disgusting guy. He has always had a bad reputation in Maplewood City for depriving Fang Pengju of his resources, and even threatened him with Jiang Anan.
But this man is also a sincere father. He spared no effort and gave everything he had to his son, even until his life.
People like Fang Zehou died.
He was just one of the thousands of people who died in Maplewood City.
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.
Fang Heling looked at him with a smile.
Once in Maplewood City, he vowed to make this man named Jiang Wang look at him squarely.
But after so many years, he has paid so much, grown up so hard, and gotten here so hard. But I have to lower my head that I never lowered before, laugh so humbly, and beg.
He didn't dare to be dissatisfied and smile like this: "I know I am a waste, insignificant and disgusting. You are all geniuses, and your future is infinite. I will only walk with you for a while, and wait until I kill Zhang Linchuan I'll just get out of here. I won't get your eyes dirty. Do you think that's okay?"
Jiang Wang sighed softly in his heart.
He also looked at Fang Heling seriously.
His eyes were very clean, and there was indeed no resentment or disgust in them, only something very calm and firm.
"I killed all three evil spirits, flesh-cutting and beheading. I also contributed to the death of the fortune-teller devil. Even a long time ago, I stabbed the heart-devouring devil Xiong Wen with my sword. My attitude towards human beings has never changed."
"You know? Zheng Fei and Li Shou have a very good relationship. They are both willing to die for each other. I see true brotherhood in them! But I still killed them without hesitation. Because they killed innocent civilians When they threw people into the furnace to cook them, when they ate human flesh and drank human blood, they did not hesitate.”
Jiang Wang said: "Fang Heling, I can understand your hatred, I understand it completely. On many nights, I was gnawed by hatred like you. The blood in your eyes was also in my eyes, and It has not disappeared yet. But if we meet outside the mountains and seas, I will draw my sword now."
Fang Heling looked at Wang Changji. Wang Changji had no expression on his face and didn't speak.
He seemed to understand.
He stopped slapping himself in the face, knowing that nothing he could do would help.
Jiang Wang has always been so determined.
Fang Pengju, who was paralyzed on the ground with tears in his eyes, shouted to his third brother, begging him for his life. His sword thrust forward without any hesitation.
That is his sworn brother who is like a brother!
Who am I, Fang Heling?
Fang Heling laughed, making a sound.
He smiled and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Wang: "You are really hard-hearted, you are really chivalrous, you are clear about grudges, and you are upright. There is no room for sand in your eyes. You are so upright and just, Jiang Wang!"
He laughs at himself and gives up on himself, feels inferior and angry at himself.
He raised his thumb and put his hand across his forehead: "You are strong, you are really strong. You are a genius that everyone admires. Even the shabby swordsmanship that I learned in the outside world, you are better than me. You are stronger than my genius cousin Fang Pengju, you can kill him with one sword!"
He slowly lowered his hand and spread his palm.
"But what about me?"
He stared at Jiang Wang, his expression uncontrollably distorted for the first time, and he roared at Jiang Wang for the first time: "But what about me!?"
"I'm a waste! I can't compare to you, I can't even compare to Fang Pengju, what should I do!?"
"Do you think that everyone is the same as you and has many choices? The people you make friends with are either geniuses, heirs of famous families, or children of aristocratic families, some kind of young master, some kind of father-in-law. You are famous all over the world at Guanhetai, and you are famous in Qi State "High-ranking official Houlu, you have no business dealings with Chu State. The Sanxing Palace will testify for you, and even Yu Beidou will roll your name for you!"
"But what about me?"
His swollen face was twisted into a ball, looking so ugly and sad.
He pointed his fingers on his chest, and each stroke was as heavy as beating a drum. Countless painful moments in the past were recorded in the beats of these drums, as he roared, as he roared: "I am not a human being." A good person, but I'm not that bad! Sometimes I can't do anything, and I don't want to kill some people! But I have told myself that I have nothing and nothing, so what can I do to take revenge? The human devil wants me, only the human devil gives me a chance, only the human devil gives me the strength!”
He pointed at Jiang Wang and said in an almost roaring voice: "You can be a good fucking person and look at me from above just because you have a choice!!!"
"And I didn't."
Fang Heling lowered his fingers and his voice lowered. The distorted expression on his face began to collapse, and the bulging veins slowly disappeared.
He became very depressed, the kind of depression that completely recognized the reality.
He shook his head: "Jiang Wang, I really hate your condescending manner. Maybe you are right, but you will not always be right."
The bright color that could probably be called light in the eyes was extinguished.
He turned around dejectedly with a swollen face.
He knew that he could only kneel in front of Yan Chunhui and Yan Zi again, and beg for a chance.
Although he didn't know what else he could exchange.
This world is prepared for geniuses.
All the light in this world is for those with power to enjoy.
What qualifications does a loser like him have to talk about love and hate?
What about the revenge for killing your father?
How about wagging its tail like a dog begging for mercy?
Sell your self-esteem, sell your soul, pay for your pain, pay for your limbs... so what?
There are countless doors in this world, and there are countless wonderful things behind them. But no door has ever been opened for him.
He walked out in despair.
Don't know where to go.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder, stopping his steps.
He turned around and saw only Wang Changji's calm profile.
He didn't know why, but tears flowed out.
Wang Changji didn't look at him, but pressed his shoulder with one hand and stood beside him, facing Jiang Wang.
From the beginning to now, he didn't say a word, only silently watching the exchange between Jiang Wang and Fang Heling.
At this moment he said: "Actually, I don't care much about who killed whom, morality, or justice. I just thought that someone might not want me to do evil things, so without affecting revenge, I Try to abide by the moral principles that concern people.”
"Let me tell you why I take Fang Heling with me. Because I think he can at least do something when dealing with Zhang Linchuan and those people. Because I think he already has a strong heart."
"He is not a waste, he is a malleable talent."
"Jiang Wang, I don't quite understand your persistence. I don't know why you consider this matter not based on interests, but on the principles of being a human being. But I think that the reason why the vast majority of people who suffer in this world are The only reason why you can still live strong is because you have persistence, so I am willing to respect your persistence.”
"And." Wang Changji continued: "If you and Fang Heling really can't get along, I will undoubtedly choose you over him. Because you have such value, and you have proven your excellence countless times."
"But I think, can you give Fang Heling a chance to prove himself?"
He raised his palms to intercept what Jiang Wangyu said: "Listen to what I have to say."
"We might as well consider this issue from a more realistic perspective. Consider it from your persistence and your justice."
He asked: "We are all in the mountain and sea realm now, and you know that you can't really kill him. In this world, you are separated by thousands of mountains. Even if you want to find him, you don't know when you can find him." So there is nothing you can do to stop him from doing evil. Do you admit that?"
"Then, why don't you try to discipline him? Wouldn't it be better to fulfill your justice by letting the hateful demon stop killing indiscriminately?"
"You have given up on him now. I have given up on him too. After leaving the mountain and sea realm, he has no choice but to go back to the human demons and kill many more people. How can you be responsible for these lives? If you are willing to give him a chance , then you save those who might be killed. The opportunity you give is closer to justice than the sword you draw."
He pressed his hand on Fang Heling's shoulder with a little force.
Fang Heling immediately wiped away her tears, turned back, and pointed her finger in the sky: "As long as you are willing to lead me to kill Zhang Linchuan, I swear that I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately from now on, even if I die in pain, I will never eat people's hearts again!"
Jiang Wang was silent for a long time, exhaled a long breath, and said: "In recent years, two people told me two things that impressed me deeply.
One person told me that he was not trying to be a worldly person, he was just trying to make a mediocre effort.
Someone told me, don't think that everyone else has the same choices as you.
I learned a lesson. "
"I have no intention of judging you across the mountains and seas, and I am not a flawless moral person. Maybe I am also unintentionally arrogant without knowing it, and I have a moral flaunt without self-examination. I will deeply reflect on myself."
"But I want to say..."
He looked at Fang Heling and said, "If you can really stop evil from now on, I look forward to fighting side by side with you one day."
This chapter was originally going to be posted together with the previous chapter, but after thinking about it, this part has a strong emotion, and it is easy for people to ignore the content of the previous chapter.
Although it is a supporting role, there should be some space left for readers to appreciate it, and not be ignored so quickly.
So it was taken apart.
I wrote this chapter very carefully at night, but I was actually quite nervous.
I have deleted and revised it several times and I don’t know if I should write it like this...
Although Fang Heling was set up, with strong emotions poured into it, and Wang Changji and Jiang Wang also showed their own characteristics... But it is easy to write the protagonist in this way and make him unlikable.
Because if you are not careful, persistence can turn into arrogance, and extraordinary commitment can turn into condescension.
The world seen by the author and the reader is always somewhat different.
I don’t know if I handled it well…
hope so.
Already tried my best.
…
By the way. Give Brother Yan a knife. biu!!!(34/78.)
