Su Bian Cultivation World

In Luo Jiujiang's heart, Xuanwu had already been scolded like a king, but such a Xuanwu still slowly mastered the law of yin and yang.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional before, Xuanwu always compared human beings to ants—but in fact, this is a very accurate and subtle analogy.

It is inevitable for human beings to empathize with animals with a constant temperature, which is why some people say, "I can't bear to hear their death when I see them alive." And the love of cows licking their calves may not prevent the clank and iron man from crying.

But it is difficult for people to understand arthropods.

Just as human beings cannot understand what information the antennae of gnats and cockroaches convey, they cannot understand the feelings of bedbugs and spiders, nor can they fully understand the distribution of rights in ant nests.

Xuanwu is like humans who cannot understand ants, and cannot empathize with humans.

Spiders are born with the ability to spin webs, and humans are also born with emotions.So now, Xuanwu observes human beings as he observes spiders weaving webs.

On a very rare afternoon, Xuanwu was able to sit down and talk with Luo Jiujiang calmly.

In this conversation, Xuanwu made this analogy about aliens, humans and ants to Luo Jiujiang.

"Maybe we can't understand bedbugs, but we don't intend to exterminate them." Luo Jiujiang gave this answer to this metaphor.

"But when they climbed onto your dining table, would you still crush them to death?" Xuanwu looked at Luo Jiujiang with a half-smile, and made a crushing motion with his fingers.

As if pleased with Luo Jiujiang's expression of being powerless to refute, Xuanwu's smile deepened.He added: "And, can you really guarantee that there is no human being in the world who wishes for the extinction of cockroaches or gnats?"

"..."

It was the first time that Xuanwu defeated Luo Jiujiang in a dispute of words, and Xuanwu was obviously in a good mood.He leaned on the back of the armchair behind him with a contented smile.

"I can't guarantee it." Luo Jiujiang admitted frankly, "I can't say that no one among human beings wants to eliminate cockroaches, just like one of the alien species wants to exterminate human beings."

"But I'm not a cockroach, and you, Xuanwu, are not human...so we will resist."

"Xuanwu, the new order you intend to lay out in the three thousand worlds is just a cold rule that has no tolerance and never considers love. If you really govern the three thousand worlds according to your ideas, then most lives will just live saved his own life without ever living."

Xuanwu didn't take it seriously: "I just visualized the power. The weak should have self-knowledge. Is there something wrong with that?"

"If you want to speak according to your logic," Luo Jiujiang said in a deep voice, "then I will make you weak."

Xuanwu looked at Luo Jiujiang, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Luo Lang, Luo Lang, haven't I let you see me now?"

What is very special is that when dealing with Luo Jiujiang, Xuanwu either directly called him "you" or called him "Luo Lang".

As for Luo Jiujiang's most frequently used phrase "Spiritual Snake Young Master", he has never heard him mention it.

But yes, in Xuanwu's eyes, Zhenshuangliu is not worthy of being called by his name directly, but is just a pendant of the spirit snake.How can Luo Jiujiang, an extraordinary and refined human being, be called with his master's status?

But he didn't call Luo Jiujiang by his name directly, but instead called him by his nickname in the academy, and he didn't know if it was because of the prisoner cow.

Xuan Wu picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and the lid steadily scraped the tea leaves floating in the cup.He regretted: "Just now, I wanted to invite you for the last time - you missed the only remaining opportunity."

"Don't be sorry." Luo Jiujiang's appearance seemed to be comforting, but it was actually mocking, "Luo Jiujiang is as solid as a rock, and it is useless for Master Xuanwu to talk about it."

"I have seen enough cunning, treachery, dishonesty and capriciousness in human beings." Xuanwu asked kindly, "Will your position remain consistent?"

"Don't worry, as long as Lord Xuanwu still has today's thoughts, I will keep fighting with you until the end."

Xuan Wu was still asking: "Then what is your so-called end?"

Luo Jiujiang was resolute and decisive, and brazenly drew his knife: "When you die and live, it is the end!"

As soon as he said a word, the head of the Xuanwu puppet flew into the air, and the parts collapsed into a small pile just like what Luo Jiujiang had seen countless times.

However, Xuanwu's last laughter and words echoed faintly in the air like a curse.

Xuan Wu smiled and said: "Okay, Luo Lang. Next time we meet, we will decide whether to win or lose."

Luo Jiujiang looked down at the parts that Xuanwu left for him, and kicked lightly with a little disgust.

"You can't hear clearly." Luo Jiujiang emphasized again to the pile of parts, "I mean, you die or I live."

----------

The warning given by the Xuanwu puppet during its last visit was indeed not groundless.

As he announced, Xuanwu's puppets, regardless of old wives and daughters, never appeared in front of Luo Jiujiang in any form.

On the contrary, at the border of the thirteenth world, the breath of war is imminent, and both sides are at war. The previous brief truce seems to have never happened.

Before playing, Xuanwu and Dong Shuangyu played the last game of chess.

"Your thinking is right." Xuanwu looked at Dong Shuangyu inquiringly and playfully. Dong Shuangyu lowered her long eyelashes to cover her eyes and let Xuanwu look at herself.

"How did you think that human-like feelings would be the last hurdle to master Daoyuan?"

Dong Shuangyu's face was as white as mutton fat jade, and his tone was as soft as beautiful jade: "I know a lot about human beings, a lot."

Xuanwu is obviously interested in the topic of human beings like never before: "You are not a prisoner, why should you pay so much attention to human beings?"

Dong Shuangyu did not shy away from talking about this: "I was rescued by human beings when I was young. As a reward, I promised my Dao Xin to human beings. As long as there is one human being alive in the world, as long as that human being survives for a day, then I will Just study human beings for a day."

Xuanwu nodded as if realizing something: "That's why you came to me. Because if all human beings die..."

Dong Shuangyu smiled and said: "Then the vow will be uncountable."

"But if I want to keep a part alive..."

"The remaining human beings will also be the most humble existence in the world that the adults want-the group that has undergone great changes will not lose the significance of observation and exploration."

Looking directly at Xuanwu, Dong Shuangyu replied in a warm voice: "I'm kidding, my lord, I prefer the way of pros and cons, and always leave a little room for myself."

"In terms of everything, even if you are placed among human beings, you can be said to be the best existence I have ever seen." Xuanwu stared at Dong Shuangyu and sighed.

Dong Shuangyu shook her head lightly, her movements were gentle and small, as if she was afraid that she would startle something by being too big.

"My lord speaks too highly of me."

Xuanwu said: "I have seen human beings' anger, sadness, sorrow and laughter. I have seen human beings' reluctance, can't ask for it, hurt parting and hatred... The source of yin and yang has been controlled by this deity, but it is still close. One last bit."

He had seen those feelings, lived through those events as one of the people in the drama.Xuanwu gradually found the answers to all his previous questions—because human beings just like to spend their time in vain, because human beings will show certain mood swings on certain occasions.

He watched from the sidelines, he understood, he was just not sympathetic, not angry, but he used this to further temper the "self" in the Tao.

Xuanwu is more selfish than before.

Dong Shuangyu's eyelashes trembled twice, as if in doubt.He asked softly: "Then what do you think the last piece of the puzzle will be?"

"Luo Jiujiang thought it was empathy. He said that I just understood those feelings, but never experienced them myself. I think his views are very interesting."

Dong Shuangyu took a deep breath, as if the suitable temperature in the room made him feel a little cold: "Then what can Shuangyu do for you?"

Xuanwu said in a contemplative tone: "You say you know enough about human beings?"

"That's it." Dong Shuangyu laughed clearly, "That's what my lord wants. I will let him experience a certain kind of emotion...a feeling that is very similar to human beings."

Xuan Wu smiled: "You always sound very sure."

"Because Shuangyu never breaks promises."

Xuanwu casually threw the chess pieces back into the chess box.He ordered Dong Shuangyu: "Become a general, a strategist, a brain and a blade. Among the nine clans in the new world, you will still be among them, and you will always be at the side of my throne."

……

So, after less than a month of truce, the Xuanwu world once again sounded the horn of war.

In one day and one night, the subordinates of the Xuanwu Realm were like a tide, and they swallowed the two realms aggressively.

It is said that this is because they changed a new coach.

The new coach's name is Dong Shuangyu.

--------

On the most ordinary morning, someone knocked on the gate of Shenxue Palace.

When the subordinates came to report that someone wanted to talk to the young master of the spirit snake, Luo Jiujiang's eyes went dark subconsciously, thinking that Xuanwu had made a comeback.

The result is not.

The visitor's gaze was vacant and filled with anxiety that cannot be ignored. He was dressed neatly, but he was dusty, and his hem was covered with a layer of dust that covered the background color of the clothes. He had obviously driven a long way.

The friend who came to visit Luo Jiujiang was Yue Qinghui.

He didn't care about etiquette, and there was no longer the comfortable, sunny, and peaceful smile on his face.After entering the door, Yue Qinghui's first words to Luo Jiujiang were: "Shuangyu...has he really surrendered to Xuanwu?"

Luo Jiujiang took a deep breath.

He doesn't like to avoid problems by nature, so he said guiltily and bluntly to Yue Qinghui: "Yes."

Even though he had heard countless similar rumors, he still had this ominous premonition in his heart. When the news was confirmed by Luo Jiujiang himself, Yue Qinghui still turned pale.

"I asked Daoyou Dong to come out to expose Baihu, so he was noticed by Xuanwu; it was Daoyou Dong who was taken away by Xuanwu to save me... Don't worry, Qinghui, I will take responsibility."

Yue Qinghui touched his heart in despair, and murmured as if talking to himself: "I always knew that Shuangyu was not dead, but I didn't expect him to... He promised me back then, and he said that his position is very good. to humans..."

He was protecting his heart with one hand, but Luo Jiujiang noticed that Yue Qinghui's posture was a little strange.His palms were almost erected, only holding half of his chest upright.

Finding this, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.He asked Yue Qinghui to sit down in the room, and after feeding him half a cup of hot tea, he saw that he was in better spirits, so he asked him warmly.

"Qinghui, in the past 14 years, I have never heard of Dong Daoyou's name in Qidao. How did you know each other?"

As soon as this question was mentioned, Yue Qinghui's body moved a little unnaturally subconsciously.

"I saved him...I hid him in the sea or in a cave until..."

Yue Qinghui also met Dong Shuangyu at a young age.

A little later than when Luo Jiujiang and Han Qianling met, but earlier than he knew Luo Jiujiang.

It was a stormy night, and in the morning there was a sudden solar eclipse, and then the waves roared and roared like a pot of boiling water.

The fishermen of the Seven Islands all said that the Sea Dragon King was angry and should rest in the sea for seven days. Only Yue Qinghui, relying on his young age, found an unobtrusive time to sneak out of the family gate and ran to the beach to play. .

At this time, Hai was completely different from the generous and gentle appearance in his memory. Yue Qinghui approached a little, and backed away timidly.

In the end, Yue Qinghui approached the beach because of an unknown shadow in the distance.

That was the first time he saw Dong Shuangyu.Just like the daughter of the King of the Sea in the legend, Dong Shuangyu has a fishtail body and holds a handful of pearls in her hand. Her satin-like fan tail is laid out in the moonlight, shining a bright silver streamer.

When Yue Qinghui came closer, he realized that Dong Shuangyu was not in a coma, he was just weak, so weak that he couldn't even raise his head.

"Are you a mermaid? You need water to survive?" Little Yue Qinghui knelt beside Dong Shuangyu, eagerly trying to pick him up, "Shall I send you back to the sea?"

"No." Dong Shuangyu weakly pressed his cold fingers on Yue Qinghui's wrist, "I just broke free from there."

"Then what happened to you?"

"I'm dying." Dong Shuangyu said weakly, "As you can see, I was seriously injured."

Yue Qinghui was at a loss, he had never seen such a beautiful creature, and he didn't know what attitude to use to face the disappointment that he was about to let go.

Dong Shuangyu was so weak that she hardly had the strength to speak.He asked Yue Qinghui angrily: "Will someone else come again?"

Yue Qinghui murmured: "Sea Dragon King loses his temper, we will seal the sea for seven days."

"Ah, that's it..." Dong Shuangyu closed her eyes weakly, "Then I can't wait until then, are you willing to save me?"

"How, how can I save you? Can I still save you?"

Dong Shuangyu said softly: "Give me half of your heart. I will exchange half of my soul with yours, so that I will always have half of my soul living in your heart."

Yue Qinghui swallowed nervously, he didn't understand the meaning of Dong Shuangyu's words, he only understood that the beautiful mermaid in front of him wanted his heart: "Yes, are you trying to dig his heart?"

"No...but you have to lend me half of it, and let it beat for me in your chest."

If so, does that sound like a problem?

Yue Qinghui thought for a while, then nodded quickly.

If he had been willing to put his hand on Dong Shuangyu's heart at that time, he would have found that the mermaid in front of him had no heartbeat at all.

But Yue Qinghui didn't.

Yue Qinghui agreed to Dong Shuangyu's request, and the oath became true.

At that moment, Yue Qinghui felt as if an invisible thin thread passed through his heart. Although he didn't understand what Dong Shuangyu said before, he already had a special feeling in the dark.

——He exchanged half of his soul with Dong Shuangyu. If Dong Shuangyu died one day, he would return to Yue Qinghui's heart with half of Yue Qinghui's soul.

Dong Shuangyu's fishtail carrying the moonlight turned into a pair of human legs.He stood up and put his cold palm on Yue Qinghui's forehead.

"The first time the human fisher girl saved me, and in return, I promised my position to the human beings; the second time, the human old man saved me, and in return, I promised the human beings my Dao Heart."

"The third time, it was a human child who saved me. You gave me the most thorough salvation, and your fate is closely tied to me because of this. But Dong Shuangyu has nothing left."

Dong Shuangyu closed his eyes lightly, closed his left hand and opened it again, and when he opened it again, there was already a glistening pearl lying in his palm.

"In return, I can only give you my love...because heterogeneous love is very rare, so I also give you my protection. As long as I am still alive, I will not let you live in danger for the rest of my life." situation."
