The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

People are very cheap creatures, and Wu Ye once again understood this truth from himself.

When others put the cooked duck to their mouths, I was worried that it was poisonous. But when the duck flew away, I began to regret not eating it earlier.

Maybe Takeya's words didn't come from his heart, maybe he just wanted to be humble, but Yashi Eirin didn't pay much attention to it.

She left, very simply, with Kaguya and the two weapons of great crime, and left without even saying goodbye, without giving Wu Ye the slightest chance to regret it.

"They're gone."

"yes."

"It's almost time for us to leave, Meihong?"

Wu Ye, who had recovered some strength, stood up. The disappointment in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of confusion.

Confusion about the future.

"What are we going to do next?" Takeya asked: "Kaguya's story has come to an end, what else can we do?"

"I do not know."

Meihong, who had been silent for a long time, gave such an irresponsible answer. She leaned half of her body on the tree, and finally Wu Ye gave her a hand, and she barely stood up.

".Hey, Takeya, just now, I had a dream."

"ah?"

Unexpectedly, Meihong suddenly brought up this strange topic. She lowered her eyes, and there was a rare helplessness in her eyes, which was faint, like the bleak autumn scene, and the sadness of withered leaves flying around.

"It was a dream from a long time ago. In that dream, I was just ten years old."

Meihong raised her head, and a faint light appeared in the sky, indicating that dawn had arrived.

"I don't know what I did. I left home one night and woke up the next day on a strange barren mountain."

Holding a pair of gazes that are far and near, Meihong said to herself: "After that, I went home, but since that day, I have become a little bit different from everyone, until the day I was sixteen years old. , I discovered that I will no longer 'grow'."

"I recalled that day," Meihong said: "On that night six years ago, because I wanted to take revenge on the woman who tried to hurt my father, I took a medicine that she valued very much. The name of the medicine was Penglai. medicine."

"."

Wu Ye stared blankly at Meihong, and when he heard the familiar but somewhat different story told by the other party, he suddenly seemed to understand something, even breathing became cautious, for fear of missing something.

"I will never grow old, I will never die again. The concept of life and death disappeared from my life. After understanding this, I left home."

Speaking of this, Meihong's eyes gradually became brighter, and a taste of memories was caught in her mouth.

"After leaving home, I started wandering around, trying to learn all kinds of knowledge and spells for some unknown reason. I seem to have forgotten many important things, even the meaning of my own life. All forgotten."

"Until one day, I hid in the mountains. After people discovered the secret of immortality, I started to be hunted down. On that day, it rained heavily in the mountains. I cried, crying very sadly."

"I cried for a whole day, and then I recalled the woman who once wanted revenge, and the elixir that changed my life. A strange emotion began to sprout in my heart, and I later realized that it was hatred."

"I hate the woman who made my father ashamed, and I hate the woman who caused me to take the Penglai medicine. Since then, hating that woman has become the meaning of my life."

"While I was avoiding humans, I was practicing hard. Everything in the past was forgotten by me, and all that was left was my hatred for that woman."

"After that, I went to a lot of places and met a lot of weird people."

"I don't know why I care so much about Bai Ze who is teaching among humans, and I don't even know why I went back to help her. It's just that my body's instinct makes me feel that I should get close to her, because there is something about her that is familiar to me. figure."

"With the help of Bai Ze, I temporarily obtained a place to live. After wandering for many years, I lived a seemingly peaceful life until I discovered the existence of that woman in a bamboo forest."

"My hatred revived again, and that woman and I started fighting day and night. She seemed to have forgotten many things, but fortunately, she still remembered me."

"It's so sad. The only person in the world who can prove that I have lived is actually my enemy. This shame intensified my hatred. Since then, fighting with that woman has become my daily routine."

"It took a long time after that, and the world changed. The establishment of the paradise brought my revenge to an end, because I met many people."

"After that, I forgot more things. Everything in the past seemed to be blurred in my memory. I couldn't seem to remember anything except hatred."

Speaking of this, Meihong paused and glanced at the sun in the distance, which seemed to be rising.

"But today I remembered those things that I had forgotten, those things that should not be forgotten."

The first ray of sunshine in the sky shone on Mei Hong's body, seeming to bring some kind of sublimation feeling, making her whole person unreal.

Wu Ye was suddenly shocked because the girl in front of him was gradually disappearing.

"Meihong, what are you doing!"

But before he finished speaking, Wu Ye stopped again, because he himself had become in the same state, he looked down at his hands that were becoming transparent, and a strange feeling of vanity flooded his whole body.

Wu Ye was stunned, but Meihong didn't react at all to this phenomenon. She was still talking about her "dream".

"When I think back, my past is not all sad, because I have a father who is cold but occasionally smiles."

"I remembered why I learned knowledge that had nothing to do with me while I was practicing, and why I felt familiar with that Bai Ze who likes to teach."

"I remembered a sister who had the same name as me, but was very vicious."

"I think of a master who robbed me of my lunch when we first met. He said he wanted to teach me, but he played with me every day."

"I remembered that it was me who chose to take the Penglai medicine."

"I remembered, I remembered everything. It turns out that I have experienced it a long time ago."

Silent tears ran across the younger sister's red cheeks quietly, and the unreal body under the light dissipated little by little with the wind. The wind seemed to take everything away, but it couldn't take away the relief in her eyes.

"Wu Ye."

Mei Hong turned her head and looked at Wu Ye seriously. After a long time, she suddenly smiled.

"Maybe you'd think I'm crazy, but yeah, that's what I really think."

Meihong frowned, curved a complicated smile at the corner of her mouth, and said word by word: "Probably, before I met you, we met a long time ago."
