49. Sorrow of the Dragon(2/3)
Do you know that you lost your life tonight and everything you did may not even have a few months of peace.
But without you and me, no one will suppress them, and then there will be trouble, who will clean up the mess?"
Ren Hao lowered his head.
There was darkness in front of him, darker than the night. He could not see it, and there was no light in his eyes.
Faced with Zhang Moye’s problem, he said:
"Yes, I, didn't you choose the same person?"
"Chen Qiu."
Zhang Moye didn't care about Shen Qiu being by his side. He laughed and said to Ren Hao:
"You are wrong. Chen Qiu was not my choice. Even without you and me, there would be another leader of the Demon Sect and the leader of the martial arts world in this world, and there would not even be these two titles.
But only the appearance of Chen Qiu is inevitable.
No matter how much other things change, they will appear, and no matter whether you choose him or not, they are destined to do many things.
You can't control these things, nor can I control them.
Even my existence is just a good guide and a good way for Chen Qiu."
Zhang Moye bent down and said in Ren Hao's ear:
"Chen Qiu, from the world of immortals... I suspect that he was once a member of immortals. He was born free and unrestrained, Ren Hao, you tried to guide him, you tried to put shackles on him.
Impossible!
After you die, he will eventually go his own way.”
"I have never tried to control Chen Qiu, Zhang Moye, don't talk nonsense."
Ren Hao retorted once and said softly:
“I just wanted him to experience the feeling of walking the right path.
If he feels not used to it, he can go his way, but the feeling of being chivalrous and righteous, trusted and surrounded by others will always leave traces in his heart.
I just let him see that what exists in this world is not only ugly, nor are there all the people who deceive the world and steal the reputation.
I just gave him a choice.
Chen Qiu has the ambition to reach the top, and has goals and fantasy desires. There is only one goal, but there are countless roads to the goal. I just showed him one of them.
The one I left.
On the contrary, when you gave him the sword jade, have you ever asked, do he want it?"
"Haha, sharp-tongued."
Zhang Moye shook his head and said:
"I'm emphasizing that I didn't give him the sword jade, I'm returning it to him.
I know, you look down on me.
You think I have no responsibility and say I want to bring changes to the world, but I let it go halfway, leaving a mess for you and forcing you to this point.
But the reason why I gave up on the world is not because I have no sense of responsibility, nor because I gave up on my original wishes and vows.
I've been fulfilling that vow.
I just changed my approach and tried to bring better changes to the world. My only regret is that I have been addicted to the world's number one false reputation for being too high and ignored the real threat.
Vanity is a disease.
I was terminally ill at that time. When I realized what I really should do, I was like a drowning person and could not save myself.
If I had discovered the secret of Penglai five years ago, you would not have had such a tragedy today, and the world would not have been so chaotic.
This is all my fault, Ren Hao.
During the years I have been missing, I have been atonement for my negligence.”
It was probably the first time Zhang Moye said his actions so thoroughly. He put his hands on Ren Hao's shoulders, and he said:
"I'm sorry, brother, it was my negligence that forced you to this point."
Ren Hao did not answer either.
He couldn't hear Zhang Moye's voice in a real way.
My thoughts were also in chaos at this time. There was already a light like a lantern shining in front of me. After a while, I felt like I had returned to my hometown in Nantong and stayed with my long-dead parents.
The next moment, it seemed like I was back to the burning Chang'an City and charged into battle with Commander Lu.
He forced himself to cheer up and shook his head.
He asked in a hurry:
"Zhang Moye, you just need to tell me that you are doing good things over the years?"
"Um."
Zhang Moye replied seriously:
"If there is no self in the world, ten years ago, the end of the world has arrived."
"good!"
Ren Hao gritted his teeth to resist the feeling of sleepy weakness that came from his spirit, he said:
"I believe in you! I don't blame you either."
"But you lost to me today."
The leader stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Moye's finger tightly, and he said:
"As you said, before we meet next time, Zhang Moye...you, don't lose anymore!"
"good."
Zhang Moye's tone became more gentle, and he said:
"Let's go to bed, just treat it as before the next meeting, have a good rest and keep your energy in mind, let's fight again tomorrow."
He held the shaky Ren Hao and waved to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu put the cat in his arms on the ground, walked forward, half-kneeled in front of Ren Hao, raised his fingers, and the cold air flew, and an ice-making dagger jumped into the palm of his hand.
Ren Hao also felt that death was coming.
He couldn't see Shen Qiu, heard or sensed.
But he was not afraid in his heart.
He stretched out his hand and held it on Shen Qiu's wrist, guiding the ice-thorn dagger to press it against his heart, and trying hard to show a smile on his terrifying face.
He said to Shen Qiu:
“Go and take the lead.
Protect the innocent and become a hero of a generation.
Do what those who trust you and hope that you will not stop until death.
or...
Or do nothing.
Live your own life well.
Don't listen to Zhang Moye's nonsense.
There are no fate in the world.
You don’t owe him, you don’t owe me, and you don’t owe this world.
Shen Qiu, this period of time has made you very unhappy.
After I die, there is still a mess that I want to leave for you.
Forgive Uncle Ren, who is about to die.
Don't blame me."
"Uncle Ren was joking."
Shen Qiu lowered his head, and he said seriously and gently:
"Uncle Ren taught me a lot of things, good and evil, good and evil, courage, persistence, martial arts...those things that I have never thought about and have been avoiding.
I owe you a lot.
I know what this mess is. Since Uncle Ren has been helping Zhang Moye with the mess all his life, I will learn from you too. The fire you left behind...
Let me extinguish it.
If you want me to be as square as you, I can't do it.
I can only do it in my way.
To be continued...
