He knew that standing above everyone else meant that his future life would be filled with endless darkness.
The night was too dark, and drinking could forget many troubles.
"She said it was hard talking to an alcoholic, unless, of course, he vomited all the bad stuff out of his belly."
He didn't want to wake up. Why did he have to wake up?
little imp simply did not understand that the more clear-headed a person was, the more painful it would be.
Out of the corner of his eye, Feng Yi saw Hua Xiaobao.
Under the lamp, her small, pale face was suffused with a trace of red. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly locked, and her mind was in a mess.
He stepped forward and blew smoke at her. Her eyelids relaxed and she slept more deeply.
"Don't let your thoughts run wild. Have a good night's sleep."
Carefully he picked her up from the rocking chair and walked around the curtain, around the screen, all the way to the collapse and put her on it.
Then, he pulled the blanket over himself.
He helped her comb her messy bangs. Her silky hair was black and soft.
Dragon Clan, Skypiercing River.
The third checkpoint.
Time was flowing like sand, slowly flowing through the gaps between his fingers.
Hua Xiaobei sat on top of the green dragon's horns, staring at the water pillar mirrors.
All the tall mirrors reflected the same face.
Little Bei stared at his reflection in the mirror and said, "Azure Dragon, is the world that we saw in the water bead real or fake?"
"The scene inside the mirror is all an illusion. Only the physical body inside is real."
The green dragon followed the water mirror pillar, spiraling all the way to the highest point and looking down.
Thus, the field of vision became wider.
At the top of each water column mirror, there was a disk.
The disc was like a clock.
Drops of water dripped from the carved ice clock.
The droplets were crystal clear, like water sources of life, constantly evaporating and disappearing.
"Azure Dragon, don't you think that the faster these water droplets fall, the faster time will pass?"
He reached into the ice clock and pulled out a water drill.
The shaped water drill was very big, but when it got hot, it instantly melted.
It trickled down the small of Bey's hand.
A heart-piercing coldness began to spread from his palm.
The green dragon blinked his eyes, then opened them again.
Its eyes turned dark green and said, "Little master, you are right. These water diamond clocks are the source of human life. Whoever the water mirror looked at, the life that the water droplets had lost would belong to. If we break them, we'll be in danger... However, if we allow them to escape, once they completely drain away, the water mirror will disappear. This means that our life will also disappear along with them. "
This water mirror space was truly filled with hidden evils.
A line appeared at the corner of Hua Xiaobei's mouth. After thinking for a while, he said, "If the physical body stops moving, then the hollow body inside the mirror will also stop losing footsteps."
The green dragon froze and thought for a while before asking, "Little master, what do you want to do?"
It didn't quite understand the meaning behind his words.
However, since little master is so confident, there must be some hidden meaning behind it.
"We have to do it so that we don't break those water columns or make the water droplets disappear from the clock."
Hua Xiaobei told her the method that she had thought of.
The green dragon flexed his tail, blinked his eyes, and replied: "Young master, this method of yours is feasible. But how? He did not destroy the water mirror and did not let its droplets flow? This is a double contradiction. "
Little Bei smiled and pointed to the water column mirror in front of him that was dripping water droplets. "Azure Dragon, didn't you manage the entire water area?"
"Yes. I can soar into the clouds and ride the rain and lightning. I can also fly up to heaven and earth and fly across rivers and rivers for thousands of miles. "
"Mm, then that's good."
Hua Xiaobei patted the Azure Dragon's horn and said: "Azure Dragon, you just need to listen to my commands."
"Understood, little master."
The Azure Dragon soared into the air and circled around the water mirror, advancing forward.
They passed from one mirror to the other.
This water mirror space was endlessly cyclical.
Just through a clock water drill.
and you can travel to the future of immortality.
However, after the water droplets ran out …
Their flower of life will wither.
"Even though it's impossible to achieve success without breaking it. But on the other hand, you can also think of it as something that can't be broken even if you don't set it up! "
"Oh …"
The Azure Dragon nodded. It seemed to understand the meaning of little master's words.
It was an interesting trip.
The third test was very interesting.
Not broken, not built, hiding the taste of philosophy.
In the meantime, the hidden Zen intent was deep, very deep.
"Little master, this is not the right thing to do if you don't want to break it. Who told you this?"
"Muhou." She tells me stories every night. She said it was from the Book of Mythology. There is an ancient saying in this book, "In the old days of Shi Xi, there is an old saying — if one does not break it, one does not break it; if one does not break it, one does not create it. If one does not break it, one will break it!"
"Oh, I see."
The Azure Dragon nodded.
"When she said that, she was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she even told me a small story."
Hua Xiaobei laughed as he spoke.
Oh, right. He's been out for so long, my mother must be worried.
It's the first time I've been so far away from my mother.
He pursed his lips. Yeah, I missed my mother a little.
Although she was a terrifying woman who loved to mess with the arts, she had to admit that her mother was very intelligent.
"Little master, can you tell me that story?"
The Azure Dragon was shuttling through the water space of the prism. It wanted to hear that story.
"Oh, okay. "No problem."
Xiao Bei thought for a moment, and started to recall that little story Hua Xiaobao told her before.
"At that time, I specifically asked what 'indestructible' means. She says — if the new is not made up, the old things cannot be broken, and even if the old things are broken for a while, they will appear again soon after. "
As he explained, the green dragon's eyes suddenly lit up.
This was too amazing. These water prism crystals were really reappearing over and over again.
They seemed pure, but they possessed the invisible power to kill.
They are a space of infinite reincarnation.
If one did not come up with an excellent plan to deal with the prisoners, one would be trapped inside, and die.
If he didn't break through from the inside, he wouldn't be able to break out.
However, if he really did break these mirrors, then the space of this source of life would collapse.
The life of the prisoner would disappear with him.
It was the same as dying together with the enemy.
"Tell me about that story. I am rather curious. "
The Azure Dragon urged.
"Yes, the Queen Mother said — once upon a time, a philosopher sat on the grass and asked his students a question: How could he willingly remove a large amount of weeds from the wilderness?
One student said, 'As long as you have a spade, that's all.'
The other one went on: 'Otherwise, it would be a very good way to use fire.'
The third student said, "Sprinkle with lime and you'll get rid of all the weeds."
The fourth person thought for a while and said, 'Cut the grass roots and dig them all out.
The students all answered, waiting for their teacher's comments. Azure Dragon, which student's method do you think is the most useful? "
Hua Xiaobei asked with a smile, his big watery eyes gleaming with a cunning light.
The Azure Dragon saw that his young master was also testing him, so he could only seriously ponder for a moment.
It felt that this topic was not simple.
It's hard to make a person willingly do one thing at a time.
After a minute, the Azure Dragon replied, "If I really have to weed, I will use the method of the fourth student. But it's hard and troublesome for me to keep doing this. "
"What we are doing now is the fourth student, always repeating the cycle in the water prism... With so many water column mirrors, we will never be able to travel back and forth. The other side of the river might seem very close, but the truth is, the other side will always have no shore. "
Little Bei pointed out.
The Queen Mother had once told him about a rose called "Eternal on the Other Shore."
They were clearly at hand, but it was possible that they would never recognize each other for the rest of their lives.
The other shore was eternal. Perhaps the other shore was eternal, but there was no path of retreat.
The green dragon stopped his galloping steps and calmed his heart, intending to hear the latter half of the story.
"Please continue …"
"Well, when the students have finished, the philosopher stood up and said, 'All of you can go back. According to your own methods, remove a patch of grass. Those that haven't been removed, come back after a year. Those that have been removed won't need to come back.'" "Azure Dragon, which of them do you think came?"
Hua Xiaobei purposely kept them in suspense.
He wanted to know if the Azure Dragon's thoughts were the same as in the past.
"Well, I can't say. This was because every story had different answers. Your thoughts will always be different from the end. "
Hua Xiaobei nodded and replied: "Mn, Azure Dragon, you are very smart. Then I'll go on — after a year, in fact, they're all here. It turned out, however, that the place where they had met was no longer overgrown with weeds; it had become a field of grain. The students finally understood what the teacher was up to, and added a chapter to their book: There is only one way to get rid of weeds in the wilderness, and that is to plant good crops on them. If you didn't plant crops in the wilderness, who would graze specifically for the sake of weeding? Only when you plant crops will you be happy and diligent because of your harvest. Therefore, if you want to get results at the end of the business, you have to make fundamental changes in the business process. "
"Is this the answer? Oh, there really is no such thing as' absolute similarity ', hehe … "Until the end, it will never be the same as I imagined it would be."
The green dragon said.
"Yes, after the Queen Mother finished speaking, I was stunned for a long time. So, what I thought was different from what she was going to tell me. So, there's no absolute in this matter. "
Time was like flowing water, ticking, ticking, falling down mercilessly.
When the water in the clock had run dry, they would be imprisoned for eternity.
Hua Xiaobei stared at the water of life above the water pillar mirror, which was almost dried up, and said: "Green Dragon, let's go."
"Understood, little master. Just issue an order as to what you wish to do."
The green dragon was ready.
