I have a date with the beast

As the temperature continues to rise, the business of the night market is also getting better and better.At the end of the day, Jiang Ze can only steal a moment of free time at noon.

Lunch is usually relatively simple. After eating, Jiang Ze and Xiao Feng will go for a walk in a nearby park to enjoy the cool.

During these days, Jiang Ze listened to many stories told by mocking wind.This is a world where miracles and despair coexist. From the creation of Pangu at the beginning of chaos to the glorious rise of Chinese civilization, these epics are presented in a high-profile and elegant manner in an orderly manner, unabashedly blooming their brilliance brilliance.

Unlike the embellished narration of the history teacher, and the emotional records of the compilers of the history books, the mocking wind is simply stating a section of the past—the history that no one knows and is deliberately avoided and hidden.

Every time at this time, Jiang Ze would inexplicably feel a kind of distressed emotion in his heart.Listening to Xiaofeng's deep and moving voice narrating those evocative pasts, Jiang Ze really felt that the ancient gods like Xiaofeng, who were endowed with eternal life, were genuine witnesses and survivors of history, but also An outcast who was mercilessly forgotten by time.

The eternal life that mortals pursue in every possible way is an innate shackle for them.Only they know the feeling of living and dying together with the eternal time, singing softly in the sea of ​​fire formed by loneliness and loneliness, that is the indelible torment of life.Although with the infinitely spreading annual rings, the feeling of loneliness seems to be easily suppressed in the bottom of my heart, but whenever I climb up and look at the vastness and prosperity of the world, but there is no place to live, In an instant, the sense of loss will devour the mind like a demon, and run amok in the body.

Laughing Wind never complained about it, and his eyes proved it.Those eyes are as calm as still water, it is the indifference and indifference that everything is empty after integrating into the world, and only when it touches Jiang Ze, it will have a little ripple, the ripples on the water surface are gentle and lingering.

In this world, yin and yang are constantly circulating, good and evil are one, and the balance is harmonious. There is always a party who makes eternal sacrifices.Obviously, weak human beings are doing their best just to survive, not to mention the ability to shoulder heavy missions.

This is the destiny of the first god, and from the moment of birth, it means that life is no longer under their control.

At night in August, the sky is full of stars, and the underground neon lights are flickering.On a slightly sticky and humid summer night, a gust of cool evening wind blows, taking away some of the heat.

After a busy day, Jiang Ze went to a movie theater not far from home with a mocking wind.

The future is still very long, although their status as lovers is very special, but they will still be like ordinary couples, doing all the things that couples will do.Jiang Ze thought so.

He randomly picked a movie called "The Secret of Longevity", which seems to be set in the Tang Dynasty.On the poster of the movie, a man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes is immersed in the cold deep sea, holding an unopened picture scroll with his pale and thin fingers, a sense of despair and poignancy arises spontaneously.

This was Jiang Ze's first visit to the cinema, and he felt a different kind of satisfaction in addition to being excited.He sneaked a few glances at Xiaofeng, who clasped Jiang Ze's palm tightly under Jiang Ze's surprised, shy and expectant eyes, and shook hands with him.

Sitting next to Xiaofeng, and the constant heat from his palms, Jiang Ze was able to watch the movie with peace of mind.

Different from most settings full of positive energy and positive, the protagonist in this movie is a scholar who is greedy for life and afraid of death, poor and unsuccessful.No one can understand his poems and appreciate his paintings.

However, in fact, the scholar doesn't care about getting any fame or fame, and he doesn't want to make a fortune. His only obsession is to seek the absurd longevity.

The scholar is almost demon-blocked, he can't tolerate anything except longevity in his eyes.Outsiders are ashamed of being evil and possessed by demons. Scholar always accepts such words with pleasure, and then he doesn't care but is full of nobility and laughs at himself: there is a demon in my heart, worry about it, fear it, and be crazy about it.

He spends his whole life searching for the "Secret of Longevity" that only appeared in legends and ancient books, even trekking long distances in snow-capped mountains, deserts and deep forests alone. All kinds of interesting or thrilling adventures experienced.

The end of the movie pushes the plot of the story to its climax.It uses flashbacks to explain to the audience the mystery of the protagonist's crazily pursuit of immortality——

He fell in love with a fairy, a fairy in a painting.

In the last scene of the film, the scholar who has experienced a life-and-death struggle falls into the deep sea, his black hair floats and entangles like water plants, and the bone wound deep in his heart is still oozing blood, merging with the sea water.The painting scroll in his hand was separated from it due to the weakness of his fingers, and then slowly unfolded in the flowing sea water, revealing the beautiful and refined woman on the painting paper.In the painting, the woman frowned and shed a tear, which condensed into crystal pearls in the water.

The story ended here, and the audience sighed.

But Jiang Ze was even worse, he sat there in a daze, did not move for a long time, but Xiao Feng grabbed his arm and led him away from the theater.

The unspeakable bitterness spread from his heart until it invaded the sensitive and fragile tip of his tongue. Jiang Ze ruthlessly bit the tip of his tongue, so that his sadness could be cut into his mouth due to the pain. out of the water—

He will die one day, just like Jiang Rufeng back then.

Time is ruthless, he will slowly age under the erosion of time, his hair will become gray, his skin will become more and more loose, and even his teeth may be lost in the end.Jiang Ze didn't dare to think, when he became like that, what kind of mentality he should have to face the ridicule frozen by time.

It was impossible for him to face the mocking wind with a normal heart. He was old and ugly at that time, how could the mocking wind be happy?At that time, what Xiaofeng faces every day is not a young man in his twenties, but a senile old man. May I ask who can tell the sadness and pain during this time?

He begged God to slow time down a bit... slower, so that he could have a longer time with Laughing Wind.

Jiang Ze was in a very low mood until before going to bed.Xiaofeng naturally wouldn't be unaware, he stared at Jiang Ze for a moment, then put his hand on the back of his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ze buried his head in the thin quilt without saying a word, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice, "I will die one day."

Hearing this, his pupils shrank suddenly, he subconsciously squeezed Jiang Ze's hand, and said firmly, "There won't be such a day."

Jiang Ze didn't answer, he only thought he was comforting himself.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Ze slowly woke up from his dream, and Xiao Feng, who was sleeping next to him, opened his eyes with clarity.He opened his lips slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Why did you wake up?"

"I'm going to the bathroom." Jiang Ze slowly propped himself up, sat down for a while, and then got out of bed over the mocking wind.

The mocking wind responded and closed his eyes.

Rusting noises came from the living room. Under the dim light, Jiang Ze saw Jiang Taotao, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. He was sitting on the sofa nibbling on a duck neck. When he heard footsteps, he casually glanced at the person who came. glance.

"Is it enough? There are still some in the refrigerator," Jiang Ze said.

Jiang Taotao ignored him and continued to nibble on the duck neck with relish.When Jiang Ze came out of the toilet and walked to the bedroom, Jiang Taotao suddenly made a sound.

"You're not going to die," he said.

Jiang Ze stopped, turned around, and looked at the group of unrecognizable figures: "Why?"

"Jiang Rufeng is not your last life." Jiang Taotao swallowed what was in his mouth, and said slowly and calmly.

Jiang Ze became more and more confused.Then Jiang Taotao added another sentence: "It's the first life."

Jiang Ze was shocked, and was about to ask what happened, when a mocking voice suddenly appeared behind him: "It's getting late, go back to sleep."

"No, I..." Before Jiang Ze could finish speaking, Xiaofeng couldn't help but grab his arm and return to the room.

After lying down on the bed again, Xiao Feng held Jiang Ze tightly in his arms, whispering in his ear: "Don't listen to his nonsense, go to sleep."

Jiang Ze's eyes flickered, but in the end he just nodded slightly.
