50. The Past Past(1/2)

On the edge of the Yangtze River, Zhang Moye bent down and bowed in front of Ren Hao's frozen corpse, and then reached out to smooth out the uneven ice chips on his body.

It seemed like he was dressed in a clean dress, as if he was saying goodbye for a while.

He bent down and hugged the lazy big orange cat in his arms. While stroking the unknown bio-shiny hair, he said to Chen Qiu, who looked complicated:

"I want to tell you a lot, a lot, so much that I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out."

“But I know what your biggest doubt is.

You want to know why I chose you? Why did I give you such a worldly wonder such as sword jade to you when you were twelve years old.”

Zhang Moye tilted his head and looked at Chen Qiu. He stopped and said:

"You heard what I said to Ren Hao just now, and I didn't lie to you. It wasn't you who I chose, Chen Qiu, Jian Yu is your thing, I just 'borrowed'."

This is not the first time Chen Qiu has seen Zhang Moye.

They have seen it in Suzhou.

That time, Zhang Moye tempted Chen Qiu and asked him to voluntarily return Jian Yu to him, but Chen Qiu refused. Since then, Zhang Moye has never appeared again, at least not before Shen Qiu's eyes.

But Chen Qiu always felt that.

Zhang Moye was by his side and was watching his every move.

Now, there is finally a chance to ask everything clearly.

"I heard it, but I can't understand."

He glanced at the frozen Ren Hao and said to Zhang Moye directly:

"It is rumored that you got the immortal connection in Taihang Mountains twenty-five years ago. Some people say that you have seen a real immortal? Did that immortal give you the sword jade?"

"yes."

Zhang Moye replied frankly:

“I’ve seen immortals.

It’s not the group of scattered scribbles in Penglai who pretend to be gods and ghosts, but the real immortals.”

The leader of the Demon Sect closed his eyes and seemed to recall the day of twenty-five years.

The memories of that day have never faded in his heart, and he whispered:

"I saw the immortal holding treasures, falling from the sky and landing on the top of the mountain.

In a moment, the world will change.

You can't imagine, and I can't describe to you everything I see, but I know that immortals really exist.

Jianyu is yours, and you seem to be sent to this world by an immortal, but something went wrong in the middle. Jianyu has come early, or you are late."

Zhang Moye chuckled and said:

"So, I got the method of fate. The immortal promised me to keep the sword jade for twenty years. After twenty years, I would send the sword jade to you. I have been paying attention to you, Chen Qiu.

I have been following you while I am doing the important work.

I will answer all your questions.”

Zhang Moye looked at Chen Qiu and said:

“You also have to answer a question I’ve been curious about.

I have noticed the changes that happened a few years ago after you returned from Taihang Mountain, just like you suddenly became a different person. Chen Qiu, are you a person from our world?"

This question made Chen Qiu hesitate for a moment.

As Zhang Moye watched, he shook his head.

He thought Zhang Moye would ask more.

But who expected, Zhang Moye sneered and said:

"really!

This is where you can't find the knot in martial arts!

You feel that you are not a person in this world, you feel that the changes in this world have nothing to do with you, you feel that you are out of place with this world.

I try hard to integrate, but I always feel a sense of alienation.

Always want to stay out of the matter, always lazy, act when encountering problems, and never take the initiative to find problems and solve problems, because you feel that you should not leave too many traces in this world.

I'm right?"

“Not quite right.”

Chen Qiu raised his head and said to Zhang Moye:

"I did think so during that time, but then I became more and more ties. I knew I could not stay out of it, so I took the initiative."

"Indeed, you have been performing more decent since Suzhou."

Zhang Moye said:

"But what if I tell you that you were actually born in Yanjiao and grew up there until you were twelve years old, rather than jumping into this world all of a sudden?"

"Um?"

Chen Qiu blinked.

As if he felt his doubts, Zhang Moye said in a deep voice:

"I didn't lie to you. When you were born with Yanjiao, I felt the shock of sword jade in the Western Regions. The first time you and I met was not when you were twelve years old.

I'm following your time earlier than you think.

As for the 19th year of Zhengding, it was the day when my holding of sword jade expired for twenty years.

When I handed the sword jade to you that day, I could see clearly that there was a light shining in your eyes... Chen Qiu, you were born in this world.

It’s exactly the same as me, Ren Hao, Fan Qingqing and the others!

You are born and raised in this world.

What makes you different from us is that it was the immortal who sent you here with his own hands.

You haven't passed the underworld.

I didn’t drink that bowl of Mengpo soup!”

Zhang Moye stepped forward, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Chen Qiu's chin, and waved it left and right.

He said:

"You may have two you in your mind, the past and the present. You can't tell which one is the real you, so you let the two influence each other.

You, like Huang Wusan, are like two souls in your body.

Let them get entangled and merged, turning you into the current inappropriate appearance.

Now the truth is revealed. Don’t always feel that what’s happening in this world has nothing to do with you. Your bond with this world is destined from the moment you are born.

It's much deeper than you think.

This is our home and yours!

You are not an outsider.

Don't treat yourself as a guest either.

You have grown up well, but there are still some missing things, you have to find them back quickly. If the war is about to begin, but you still don’t know what path you should go and why you should fight, then you will not be far from death.”

Chen Qiu was a little surprised. He pushed Zhang Moye's finger away and asked:

"Why didn't you tell me this early in the morning? When we first met."

"Because I have to confirm whether you have that kind of qualities."

Zhang Moye said softly:

"What kind of thing do you think sword jade is easy to obtain?

That was a weapon. How could I hand over a weapon that was much more dangerous than the twelve weapons to a child who had no way to control it?

If you are like my Lan'er, you have a weak character, then I have to find a way to take back Jianyu."

"Oh, talk about Zhang Lan."

Chen Qiu suddenly remembered this incident. He pointed at the cat in Zhang Moye's arms, and said:

"Your son was eaten by your pet."

"Um?"

Zhang Moye's expression changed for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned around, grabbed the orange cat's front legs, lifted it into the air, shook it hard, and said to the orange cat:

"Didn't we agree to do it? You can't eat it randomly! That's my son! Spit it out! Hurry up! Be good!"

“Meow~”

The orange cat doesn't care about this rudeness.
