5076 - Something Beyond Life and Death
·
Ji Mo De Wu Zhe
Although Xiao Chen's tone was very flat, it fell into Wang Pingbei's ears, but it made him feel chills from the bottom of his heart.
He could feel Xiao Chen's suppressed anger in his plain tone.
"Ever since I knew about Tianwaitian, I have never heard that people in the ancient martial arts world have made plans for Tianwaitian..."
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and said lightly.
"And what about Tianwaitian? There is a sense of superiority in your bones, and you look down on people from the mother world... In your eyes, people from the mother world are not humans, but slaves, livestock, or even ants."
"..."
Wang Pingbei didn't make a sound, because...it's the truth.
Even in his heart, he thought so.
"These ants should kneel on the ground and wait respectfully for you to come. They dare not have any opinions. Whatever you say is what you say."
Xiao Chen's tone was even more flat, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Even our life and death must be decided by you... You are the gods above, and we are the ants in the soil."
"Do not……"
"There's nothing wrong with admitting it, that's what Tianwaitian did."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Every time you destroy people, you still want us to obey your words? I want to live on my feet, I want to be equal to you, and I want to have freedom. Is it because I hate you?"
"If... I mean if, if the people in the mother world are stronger, you will definitely want to conquer such a place as Tianwaitian."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and summoned up his courage.
"This, we can't blame Tianwaitian, human nature is like this."
"You're right, I never blamed Tianwaitian for wanting to conquer the mother world, but, as a person from the mother world, I must fight."
Xiao Chen nodded. In the history of mankind, massacres of indigenous people, land grabbing, etc. have happened a lot.
He didn't want to stand on the moral high ground and condemn Tianwaitian, but think in another way. If the ancient martial arts world is strong and Tianwaitian is weak, then there will be many people in the ancient martial arts world who want to conquer Tianwaitian.
Even he didn't dare to say nothing and do nothing, and if he didn't conquer, he had to go around to see what good things were there, and wanted to take them for himself.
This is human nature.
Otherwise, where did the aggression come from?
Otherwise, where is the war?
But now, the ancient martial arts world is weak, and Tianwaitian wants to descend, return, and enslave...
As a person from the mother world, he was unwilling to kneel down and was bound to fight to the end.
There is no moral high ground, this thing comes after the 'fist'.
Since ancient times, whoever has a hard fist has the final say.
It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.
"I don't blame Tianwaitian, so why do you ask me why you are hostile to Tianwaitian?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei again, his eyes were cold.
"You come down, you kill, I shouldn't be hostile, but bow my knees and stretch my neck, waiting for you to kill?"
"There are... some people are still very friendly to the mother world."
Wang Ping said weakly to the north.
"Well, like Lin Yue, I get along very well with him."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"We have a saying in Huaxia, which is called 'good wine when friends come, and shotguns when enemies come'. Do you understand? My attitude depends on your attitude."
"Then... if I am not hostile to the mother world, can we be friends?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Being friends? Hehe."
Hearing Wang Pingbei's words, Xiao Chen was happy.
"You guys have a beautiful idea. Now that you are my prisoner, do you just want to be friends?"
"..."
Wang Pingbei fell silent.
"As long as you behave well, I will definitely not kill you, and I will detoxify you... As for whether you can be friends, it's up to you."
Xiao Chen looked at him and said.
"However, you should hate me very much in your heart, right? You say that you are friends, but you are also for your own life."
"Yes, but you also saved me just now... If it wasn't for you, the second uncle would really kill me."
Wang Pingbei shook his head and said.
"You wanted to kill me, but you saved me... So, I don't hate you too much now."
"Ha ha."
Xiao Chen smiled, just listen to this, don't take it seriously.
"Xiao Chen, I have a suggestion...we should go to Tianwaitian immediately. There are also many opportunities there. If you go, you will not be disappointed."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and said in a more serious tone.
"Hehe, are you afraid of dying in the Absolute Heaven?"
Xiao Chen smiled playfully.
"You are really greedy for life and afraid of death, just like a friend of mine."
"Being greedy for life and fearing death can also be your friend?"
Wang Pingbei was a little surprised.
"of course."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It's a human instinct to be greedy for life and fear death. People are greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am the same... However, sometimes, there are certain things that transcend life and death."
"what?"
Wang Pingbei frowned. In his opinion, being alive was the most important thing.
"Many, such as friendship, such as faith..."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
"My friend is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he can risk his life for the people around him... This shows that in his heart, friendship is more important than life, and he can pay the price of his life for this friendship."
"Friendship..."
Wang Pingbei repeated these two words. Does he have any friends who can give their lives for it?
No.
"Before, you were able to save your junior brother, which shows that you two have a good relationship."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"Because the hope of two people living is greater, I will not exchange my life for his, even if we have a good relationship on weekdays."
Wang Pingbei said honestly.
"Do you have a wife?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked again.
"If she is in danger, are you willing to give your life to save her? If you are, then you are a man worth entrusting to her, no matter how greedy you are for life and fear of death."
"No."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"I don't think I would give my life for a woman."
"No, you don't have a wife, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Do you have any women in Qingyun Tower?"
"Yes, many junior sisters and I... are fine."
Wangping North Road.
"Everything is good? Much...good?"
Gossip ignited in Xiao Chen's heart, brothers and sisters?Is Qingyun Tower so chaotic?
"Just...just as you imagined."
When Wang Pingbei said this, he was a little proud.
"After all, I am the top ten talent in Qingyun Building, and I have attracted the admiration of many junior sisters."
"..."
Xiao Chen understands, at the same time of contempt...why is he a little bit envious at the same time.
What a great vibe!
This is much better than school.
"I also like some junior sisters..."
Wang Pingbei said again.
"Do you like it? You are coveting their bodies!"
Xiao Chen pouted.
"I thought you were quite honest at first, but I didn't expect you to be a Neptune."
"Aquaman? What do you mean?"
Wang Pingbei was puzzled.
"It's nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head, looked at a tree ahead, and paused slightly.
"what happened?"
Seeing Xiao Chen stop, Wang Pingbei asked.
"See that tree? It's broken, and it's a new one..."
Xiao Chen pointed to the wrist-thick tree in front of him and said.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei suddenly became nervous: "Is there someone?"
"It doesn't have to be a human, it might be a strange beast."
Xiao Chen said, looking at him.
"Don't be so nervous, let's go and have a look."
"Will there be any danger?"
Wang Pingbei's expression changed.
"What kind of place is this? Tianjueyuan... Do you think there is no danger?"
Xiao Chen said as he walked towards the broken tree.
Wang Pingbei quickly followed, even if there was danger, it would be safer to follow Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was also paying attention to the reaction of the spirit root of heaven and earth, the little guy was sitting on his shoulder, swinging his legs, shaking, very leisurely.
This is the reason why he is not nervous, otherwise he would have to be nervous too.
When he came to the broken tree, Xiao Chen looked it over carefully, and quickly judged that it was not cut off by a weapon.
The breaks are uneven, more like it was broken by something.
"Xiao Chen, look here..."
Suddenly, Wang Pingbei pointed to the nearby grass and shouted.
"There are traces here too."
"It's a snake."
Xiao Chen looked over and made a guess.
The snake climbed on the tree, probably because it was too heavy, broke the tree, and then left from the grass.
He was not surprised that there were snakes. There were already many snakes and rats in the wild grass.
The snakes in No Man's Land and Tianjueyuan are unusual, they can be said to be strange beasts, and it is normal for them to be slightly larger.
After confirming that it was a snake, Xiao Chen didn't care, it was too common.
As long as he didn't come to hurt him, he would not follow the traces to find the snake and kill it.
"snake……"
Wang Pingbei looked at the traces on the grass, and his face turned pale when he thought of something.
"what happened?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei's face, a little strange.
"We... we have to leave quickly, this place is very likely to be one of the death penalty areas, the Snake Cave."
Wang Pingbei's voice trembled a little.
"Snake Cave?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback.
"What is this place?"
"It's a place with a lot of snakes, and it's also one of the forbidden areas for death. I've heard of it before..."
As Wang Pingbei spoke, he looked around nervously.
"Isn't it? Are you a bit of a shadow of a snake?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Even if there is such a place, it's not enough to say that we saw a snake. No, we didn't even see the shadow of a snake. It was just a trace. Are you so afraid? It's not normal to have a snake in this kind of place. Is it gone?"
"I... I'm just a little scared."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Wang Pingbei felt at ease, and looked around again, it seemed that there was no sign of a snake.
"What is the snake cave? Do you know? Tell me everything you've heard."
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and said.
"At this time, you and I are one. The more I understand, the more likely we will leave here alive."
"I know, I just heard that there is such a place, it may not be true."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"At this time, how can I still have any thoughts... There are many legends about Tianjueyuan, true and false, it is difficult to distinguish, and the legend of the snake cave is one of them."
"Tell me, idle is also idle..."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and continued walking.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked forward, with a cigarette in his mouth, trembling slightly.
He could feel Xiao Chen's suppressed anger in his plain tone.
"Ever since I knew about Tianwaitian, I have never heard that people in the ancient martial arts world have made plans for Tianwaitian..."
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and said lightly.
"And what about Tianwaitian? There is a sense of superiority in your bones, and you look down on people from the mother world... In your eyes, people from the mother world are not humans, but slaves, livestock, or even ants."
