If Line Parallel World Extra: Farewell Poem (9)

When everyone saw Huixin happily agreed, their faces immediately lit up with joy. Boyang's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of relief, and his gentle gaze seemed to contain bright stars, shining brightly. He stood sideways, made an elegant invitation gesture, and said in a light tone: "Then, how about we leave the city first?" Everyone agreed with this.

Half a day passed in a flash. When evening came, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually sank below the horizon, leaving only a faint blush on the horizon, just like the last lingering attachment of the day. After everyone arrived at Wangshu Inn and settled down, they sat together in a warm corner on the terrace on the third floor of the inn and began to discuss the destination of the trip with great interest. Everyone had their own ideas in their hearts, and the atmosphere was warm and interesting.

In this corner of Wangshu Inn, the tables and chairs are all made of thick wood, exuding a simple and charming luster, and the faint wood fragrance drifts slowly, as if telling an ancient story. Several oil lamps placed on the table emit soft and warm light. The light sways gently, like an elf dancing in the breeze, and changes into various wonderful and charming lights and shadows on the wall, as if it is also looking forward to the conclusion of this discussion.

Boyang took the lead and sat upright, with his hands firmly placed on the table, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, just like an explorer who is about to embark on a great treasure journey. Although he has not set out yet, he is already fascinated. He cleared his throat and said in a gentle and firm voice: "We are gathered here today to find a good place to play tomorrow. In my opinion, Jueyunjian is always a beautiful place. Think about it, Jueyunjian is like a fairyland where immortals live. The peaks are towering into the clouds, as if they are about to pierce the sky. The clouds are like soft gauze, slowly winding around the mountains. The scene is simply beautiful to the extreme. The flowers and plants on the mountain are of various shapes, rare and particularly beautiful, and there are ancient relics hidden in them. I feel that as long as you explore casually, you may find mysterious treasures." As Boyang spoke, he vividly gestured the height of the mountain with his hands, and his eyes flashed with a fiery yearning light.

Rong Zhao sat aside, with a touch of gentle yearning in his eyes, gently stroking the teacup in his hand, and slowly said: "Brother is right, the scenery in Jueyunjian is really charming. However, there is another place in my heart that I want to go to, that is the Fulong Tree at Nantianmen, which is definitely a scenic spot worth visiting. I have heard that there is a Fulong Tree at Nantianmen, which is always surrounded by clouds and mist, but the scenery is extremely beautiful. It is said that the emperor in 500 Years ago, the evil dragon was suppressed and imprisoned here, and a monument was erected to warn passers-by not to approach easily. Humph, but I have read the ancient books in my family! The Ruotu Dragon King is definitely not the evil dragon that people say in the market. After all, in the thousand years since the end of the Demon God War, before he lost his mind and attacked humans, he had always been stationed in the former Tianqiu Valley, silently guarding the Nantianmen Xijing Market where people flowed. At that time, the market was bustling with fireworks and was as prosperous as Liyue Harbor. Even if he did break the covenant and attack the Layered Rock Abyss later, there must be reasons and difficulties. I don’t believe that the Ruotu Dragon King is a treacherous evil dragon! I don’t believe that! "Rong Zhao raised his head slightly, with a hint of stubbornness, curiosity and unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes!

Rong Zhao spoke in a soft voice with a soothing tone, and every word made people feel his yearning for the Fulong tree. After he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to be pulled back from the distant Fulong tree by an invisible thread, and drooped briefly, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. Then, he put down his hand stroking the teacup, and his originally gentle expression became a little more solemn. He looked at Brother Boyang sincerely, and then said: "It's just that, brother, the purpose of our trip is to travel and enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers, not to hunt for treasures. What you just said, although it was just a spur of the moment, I am afraid that it will lose the original intention of playing. I dare to say that, brother, please don't blame me."

Boyang was startled at first, and his mind was full of thoughts. He realized that what Rong Zhao said was true. He was indeed overwhelmed by the mystery and legends of Jueyunjian and almost lost the original intention of this trip. He looked at Rong Zhao's sincere eyes, and his heart was full of emotion. This young brother always stays sober and sticks to principles at critical moments. Boyang couldn't help but feel ashamed of his impetuousness, but also proud of having such a brother.

Instantly, a hearty laugh burst out from his mouth, and the laughter was like a warm spring breeze, reverberating in the air, and the originally slightly solemn atmosphere was instantly dispersed without a trace by the laughter. He raised his hand without hesitation and patted Rong Zhao's shoulder heavily. This pat was full of strength, full of the unique intimacy and recognition of an elder brother to his younger brother.

Boyang's eyes were full of smiles and admiration. He nodded slightly and said, "Rong Zhao, I really admire your determination and foresight. I did lose my sense of proportion just now, but fortunately you reminded me in time. You are right. The purpose of our trip is to travel and relax our minds, and not be disturbed by material things. The beautiful scenery in the clouds should be appreciated and felt purely, so that we can truly appreciate its charm."

Boyang paused, then continued: "From now on, I will definitely be with you, and indulge in the beauty of the mountains and rivers without any distractions, so as to make the most of this trip."

At this time, Rong Zhao's originally serious face relaxed slightly. He slowly raised his head and looked at Boyang, with a hint of shyness in his eyes. Boyang's words reached his ears, and he shook his head gently, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he said softly: "Brother, you are too kind. I just think that our trip this time is to relax our minds in nature. If too many other factors are mixed in, it will go against the original intention. I can understand your love for Jueyunjian. It is really like a fairyland, which makes people yearn for it. There is an old saying in Liyue: A gentleman does not climb a mountain that has an owner, and does not take things that belong to an owner. And our trip is only for sightseeing, and we will never pick up a single grass or a single thing in the mountains. I think the immortals in the mountains will not blame us."

Boyang's eyes were full of smiles and praise, and he continued with his mouth wide open: "Rong Zhao, what you said is really to the point! What I said just now was indeed inappropriate. You see, we are traveling this time to enjoy the fun of mountains and rivers. If we are disturbed by those material things, it will be putting the cart before the horse. However, you have to understand brother, that Jueyunjian is really full of endless charm. Whether it is the dreamlike scenery or the mysterious legends, they all attract me like a magnet, which is why I lost my sense of proportion and spoke without thinking."

Earlier, Hu Xingzhi frowned slightly and fell into thought after listening to Rong Zhao's words. At this moment, he put down his hands folded in front of his chest, leaned forward, and slowly said: "Rong Zhao, what you said does make some sense. But it is undeniable that the Ruotu Dragon King attacked the Layered Rock Abyss after all, and this behavior caused damage. This is a fact. Even if he has done many things to protect it, this behavior should not be easily forgiven. Perhaps over the long years, his mind was corroded by evil forces, and he violated the covenant with the Emperor and became a dangerous existence. The Emperor must have considered his actions to suppress it. After all, the Emperor's decisions are usually for the stability of Liyue, and the actions of the Ruotu Dragon King did threaten the people of Liyue. This is undeniable. Moreover, although the records in ancient books may not be completely accurate, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the Ruotu Dragon King is an evil dragon based solely on the descriptions in the family's ancient books. I am not convinced that he is a pure evil dragon, but I think we cannot easily excuse his behavior. We should look at this matter more objectively and avoid drawing conclusions based solely on subjective judgments."

Rong Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and responded seriously, "Xingzhi, you are wrong. The Dragon King of Ruota has protected Liyue for more than a thousand years, and his contribution is indelible. The Emperor may have been helpless to suppress him. The records in ancient books may not be completely accurate, but they are not groundless. The Dragon King of Ruota is not evil by nature, and he must have a reason for attacking the Layered Rock Abyss. Perhaps he has been treated unfairly over the long years, or he has difficulties that we are unaware of. We cannot judge his goodness or evil only by the results, but should explore the reasons behind it. In addition, the Emperor's decision is certainly for the stability of Liyue, but the Emperor is not omniscient and omnipotent. The matter between the Dragon King of Ruota and the Emperor may be far more complicated than we imagined. We cannot conclude that he is a dangerous existence just because of the Emperor's suppression, but we should think more deeply. The problem of level. Moreover, before he lost his mind, Ruotu Dragon King had been guarding the Nantianmen Xijing Market, and the prosperous scene there was the result of his protection. Before the attack on the Layered Rock Abyss, the Nantianmen Market had been disbanded. I guess this was an order he gave to let his subordinates escort people away from the dangerous place. If this is true, it is enough to prove that he still has kindness and responsibility in his heart. We can't erase all his previous achievements because of one mistake. We also make mistakes in life, and we can't be defined as bad people because of this. Ruotu Dragon King should also be given the opportunity to be understood, rather than being simply labeled as an "evil dragon". We should look at him from a more comprehensive perspective and explore the real reasons behind his behavior, rather than easily following the crowd and concluding that he is an evil existence. "

Hu Xingzhi pursed his lips slightly, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and he sat up slightly and refuted: "Rong Zhao, what you said makes sense, but we can't just excuse Ruotu Dragon King based on speculation. Even if he once protected it, the damage caused by his attack on the Layered Abyss is real. What about those who may be injured or even lose their lives in the attack? Their pain cannot be ignored. We can't ignore the mistakes he made just because we like a legendary existence. Ruotu Dragon King's behavior is beyond the scope of forgiveness. No matter what his difficulties are, it can't be an excuse for him to destroy Liyue. Moreover, the authority of the emperor cannot be questioned. Since the emperor chose to suppress Ruotu Dragon King, it must have been after careful consideration. As the people of Liyue, we should trust the emperor's judgment, instead of just defending Ruotu Dragon King based on our own imagination."

Rong Zhao frowned slightly, revealing a trace of dissatisfaction, and said, "Xingzhi, you can't look at the problem so one-sidedly. The attack of King Ruotu on the Layered Rock Abyss did cause damage, but we can't deny all of him because of this. Those who were injured in the attack are indeed heartbreaking, but we should also think about what caused King Ruotu to behave like this. The authority of the Emperor is unquestionable, but the Emperor is not infallible. We should keep our own thinking instead of blindly following the Emperor's decision. King Ruotu's past protection and contribution cannot be ignored, and we can't throw him into the abyss because of a mistake. We should look at King Ruotu from a more objective and comprehensive perspective, and explore the truth of the matter, rather than making judgments based solely on superficial phenomena. Only in this way can we truly understand King Ruotu's behavior and learn lessons from his story."

Hu Xingzhi raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, and said: "Rong Zhao, you said that we should keep our own thinking and not blindly follow the emperor's decision. This is right. But how can we easily question the emperor's wisdom and foresight? The emperor suppressed the Ruotu Dragon King, and it must have been a decision made after weighing all the pros and cons. We can't challenge the emperor's authority just because of our own wishful thinking. Moreover, even if we want to find out the truth, the current fact is that the Ruotu Dragon King attacked the Layered Rock Abyss and caused great damage. No matter how many protective achievements he has made, this behavior cannot be easily forgiven. We can't ignore the pain of the present because of our nostalgia for the past. Moreover, if the Ruotu Dragon King really has difficulties, why doesn't he communicate with the emperor to resolve it, instead of resorting to violence? This shows that he has lost his mind. We can't have a fluke mentality with such a dangerous existence and think that he can still be saved."

Rong Zhao responded, "According to ancient records, the Layered Rock Abyss had already cleared out all the miners working there before the Ryota Dragon King launched his mad attack. Except for those who went too deep into the abyss and were not notified in time, there were only some scratches from the falling rocks caused by the vibration, and there were no other casualties. When the Emperor and the Dragon King were fighting on their way to the Layered Rock Abyss, there were no caravans passing by on the road. So we can't conclude that there was huge damage just because the Ryota Dragon King attacked the Layered Rock Abyss. Moreover, the destruction of property and materials is regrettable, but we should also consider various factors comprehensively and cannot completely deny the Ryota Dragon King's past contributions and possible difficulties based on this alone."
