In the Blade

Qian Yu felt that he was probably crazy.

There must be something wrong, otherwise there is no reason for him to sit at the table like an idiot and listen to people telling him stories about big trees - well, although he also admitted that there was indeed something wrong with that story. It looks impressive, but what does this have to do with him?

"This is what I've been struggling with lately, and I'd like to ask my husband for advice."

After talking, Du Chengfeng looked into Qian Yu's eyes with a very sincere attitude.

But Qian Yu just wanted to overturn the table at this moment.

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense, a person who is supposed to have a strong will as strong as iron is showing off his evil spirit, but now he actually says in front of him that he is a little confused - Qian Yu feels that there must be something wrong with his ears, otherwise it doesn't make sense to be so outrageous. Things will happen to him.

You are so entangled, let alone releasing the evil spirit, how do you survive the evil spirit entering the body?

But this kind of words cannot be said clearly. After all, the other party has not revealed any ability to express his evil spirit. He has to reveal his identity first by saying this rashly.

But he didn't say anything, but Du Chengfeng spoke.

"In the past, I wouldn't have thought so much. At that time, I thought that no matter who came to pick fruits, as long as the big tree pulled out the roots and beat them all to death, the matter would be solved. But now... My husband You have also heard this story, do you think that pulling up the roots can really solve the problem? "

You ask me, who am I asking?

Resisting the urge to punch him, Qian Yu took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Fortunately, it was a good thing. After all, the story about the big tree was so symbolic. How could he not see that the big tree in the story was actually a metaphor for Du Chengfeng himself—— In other words, the situation of the big tree also means the situation of Du Chengfeng, and the confusion of the big tree is also Du Chengfeng's own confusion.

If you think so...

It seemed that there was no need to think about it. Du Chengfeng was already confused before he had done anything. Although it was difficult for him to understand why a madman with a strong will and even the ability to unleash his evil spirit, He had to squat here and struggle like an ordinary person, but did he need to understand what a madman was thinking?

Obviously, no need.

He just needs to know how to kill this madman.

Thinking this, he looked at the short man beside him.

The short man holding the cloth bag just shook his head.

The big shield was in the cloth bag. The little man never let the weapon leave his body. On Du Chengfeng's side, although he also brought someone with him, the weapon was placed in the saddle bag at the door - on one side Holding a weapon, one side is empty-handed, no matter how you look at it, you will win with the weapon.

But why did this shield-wielding master, who showed off his evil spirit, say no?

It really doesn't work.

The short man shook his head vigorously. He wanted to explain this directly, but now that the three of them were sitting at the table, he had no chance to explain the matter clearly to Qian Yu.

Although he also knew that this was a good opportunity to take action, he could also clearly feel that Du Chengfeng was not really unarmed - this dangerous feeling should be that of a dagger or a short sword. If he attacks a sharp weapon like this from this distance, his shield will be half a beat slower.

Of course, if the difference is only in weaponry, it can be made up with decisiveness in mentality.

But that's where the problem lies.

The man named Du Chengfeng in front of him was clearly talking about how confused he was, but the short man could clearly feel that if he wanted to take advantage of this confusion, he would definitely be the first to die.

His mouth was confused, but his hands were not confused at all. At this moment, the short man himself also felt the twisted absurdity.

Just like Qian Yu, he also felt that inexplicable pinch, like a murderous evil ghost sitting here talking about how he cared about whether the two goldfish released in the morning could survive - logically speaking , Such a person cannot release the evil spirit to the outside anyway, and even the most basic evil spirit may not be able to survive when it enters the body.

However, even such an indecisive person managed to do it...

"etc?"

The short man suddenly realized something.

Is it possible that something like obsession can also be confusion itself?

Yes, it seems to be the case, and no one has stipulated that confusion cannot exist as an obsession - or in other words, confusion itself is actually caused by too many choices, just like entering a restaurant and facing Many people may hesitate for a while when the chef brings out the menu.

But this hesitation is not a negative, but because there are so many dishes to choose from.

If you are a determined person, you may be able to choose a few dishes quickly, but for a confused person, it seems that every dish on the menu can be tried - in other words, this Du Chengfeng Rather than being confused, it is better to say that I am deliberately maintaining this state of being able to search up and down at any time. This is the obsession itself!

At this moment, the short man felt that he understood everything.

This made him take a breath.

"hiss……"

"What's wrong?"

Du Chengfeng turned around when he heard the noise.

"Do you have anything to say too?"

"No...it's just that the food is a bit hot."

The short man didn't say anything, for fear that his words would affect Qian Yu's performance.

What he can see, Qian Yu can definitely see too.

And to destroy this extremely rare obsession, what you really need to do is the opposite.

"I already know the answer."

Sure enough, in the sight of the short man, Qian Yu said what he wanted to say.

"Why do you have to care about the tree? You are not a tree. The tree in the story is bound by people, but you in reality are not, so why don't you do what you want to do?"

"This... eh? It seems to be true."

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded repeatedly.

"That's the case. I'm not a tree, why do I have to care about this story?"

"Yes, just do what you want to do."

Qian Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

Yes, since Du Chengfeng is still struggling and has no obvious direction, let him find a direction at random - when he gets satisfied, that is, the moment when his will is the weakest. At this time, even if he has strength, Du Chengfeng can't play it.

At that time, it only takes a random expert to kill him...

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Du Chengfeng get up and run, Qian Yu was stunned.

"Where are you going?"

"To do what I want."

Climbing on the horse, Du Chengfeng did not look back.

"I've wanted to try this for a long time."

"Come on!"

Pulling the short man beside him, Qian Yu also hurried out of the restaurant. The two of them rode their horses all the way and even chased him out of the city.

The opportunity to kill Du Chengfeng was within reach, and they both felt it.

But the further they ran, the more they felt that something seemed to be wrong.

"...Wait."

On the third day of chasing Du Chengfeng, Qian Yu suddenly reacted.

"Is this the way back to Jiankang?"
