Wicked documents
Chapter 139 – Hypothetical Promise
Xiran regretted taking this trip very much, really regretted it very much.But it was just a commendation to his subordinates, and it was enough to appoint others to take the lead according to the usual practice. He insisted on coming here in person.It's good now, the matter of commendation has been thrown out of the blue, but he, the emperor, has faced waves of torture, exhausted physically and mentally.
Leaning on Xiaobai's shoulder, this state.It is extremely comfortable for Xiran, this is an extremely broad and solid shoulder, and Xiaobai also deliberately adjusted the most suitable posture for relying on.
From a delicate boy to a mature man, this change takes half a lifetime on human beings, but monsters have a very different sense of time, Xiaobai's change is in Xi Ran's eyes, but only in the blink of an eye between.It's just that Xiran doesn't have the time to lament the passing of time, he just seizes the time to close his eyes and rest his mind.In any case, there are still a series of very difficult questions waiting for him to make reasonable answers.
The force on the shoulders hit like a thunderbolt, and now it faded away like a tide. Although it hadn't completely dissipated, the remaining part was no longer surging, and these days, Xi Ran was constantly disturbed by this pressure day and night. You should get used to it too.
Xi Ran let out a sigh of relief, which was used to replace the groan after the internal organs were violently shaken.He thought he was covering it up very well, but the slight trembling on the surface of his body was still transmitted to Xiao Bai through the thin fabric, and he was perfectly perceived.
Today, Xiaobai has fully experienced the feeling of being without a master. He simply doesn't know how to react. He dare not move away, and he dare not tighten his arms. terribly.
Xiaobai took a deep breath, reflected on his previous yelling and questioning, and forced himself to pretend to be gentle, "Xiran, tell me honestly, did you suffer from internal injuries? But, who in the world can hurt you?" about you?"
Just now Xiran's "vertigo" came out of nowhere, it seemed so mysterious.However, being obsessed with those weird appearances is definitely not conducive to the investigation of the truth. After removing the weird parts one by one, judging from the rest of the situation, Xi Ran's state is indeed the same as an internal injury attack.
Xi Ran didn't expect the other party to be able to get it right with such half-guessing, and smiled wryly.His question cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it is better not to let Xiaobai know some things, because it will only be counterproductive.
"Old wounds." Xi Ran just casually put it in a perfunctory manner.
Xiaobai seemed to accept it, and didn't even ask any more questions.However, with this person's insight, even a flawless lie is in danger of being exposed, and what's more, Xi Ran's sentence is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
Although the process of muddling through is unreal and simple, it is always a good thing for Xi Ran to be able to turn over this page.The uncomfortable energy on his body has almost dissipated, and he straightened up a little, still within the range of the other party's embrace, but Xi Ran was finally able to turn his face to face Xiao Bai.This time the smile was not so forced, it already had some of his usual flamboyance.
I didn't feel it at the time, but after a long time, when I recalled it, Xi Ran realized that he had made a very serious mistake by deceiving himself and others for a while, and regretted it for the rest of his life.
After being silent for a while, Xiran observed carefully and found that the red marks at the end of Xiaobai's eyes had finally completely faded away, which made him heave a sigh of relief.What Xi Ran didn't know was that Xiaobai didn't completely get rid of the demon in his heart, but just that worry got the upper hand for a while.
These two people pretended to be calm, and they just hid each other from the past.
Their mutual gestures are still in an ambiguous state, but Xi Ran's expression has calmed down, and he said seriously, "Xiaobai, I didn't plan to talk to you about these things today, since the topic has been opened, This is probably God's will. God's will is so, it should be the most appropriate time."
Apart from figuring out where his so-called "old injury" came from, Xiaobai didn't want to talk about the second topic at all.
But he knows Xiran too well, even surpassing the important ministers of the four major families of monsters and beasts - the emperor is high above, and there is an invisible but real boundary line between him and his courtiers, no one in power will allow his ministers to speculate about it unscrupulously heart.The human Xiaobai is the only exception that Emperor Xiran acquiesces to.
So Xiaobai is very clear, since Xiran has clearly put on a perfunctory attitude, then he will never tell others what happened to the old injury.
Xiaobai had no choice but to follow the other party's intention and nodded, showing that he was equally solemn.
Xiran's voice was low and gentle, he had insight into the truth of this chaotic world, and he even had the indifference of a bystander.Perhaps, a prophet who has transcended the times should be in such a state, everyone is drunk and I am sober and sober.
"If you can only choose between monsters and humans, you said before that it must be monsters. Unfortunately, Xiaobai, you are wrong. Now everyone who holds this kind of thinking is wrong." It is not deliberate. She sneered, but Xiran's lips still curled up a little, completely subconsciously.
Although the sudden pressure before had disappeared without a trace, it was not without any sequelae. Xi Ran's complexion was rarely so white, so the color of his lips was extraordinarily red.
Xiao Bai was startled by his smirk, and his heart beat violently.
Xiran lowered her eyes slightly, and stopped looking at Xiaobai, and the following words were not only aimed at Xiaobai alone. "What do you think is the condition that determines the survival of a race? Innate bloodline? Powerful strength? Long lifespan? Yes, monsters have all these things, and every monster is born with all these things. But, is this enough? ?”
Is not it?
No matter who participated in this discussion, I am afraid they will give such a response.And this rhetorical question also turned around in Xiaobai's mouth, and for some reason, he swallowed it in the end.
"What else should there be?" Asking such a question is not in line with his ideas, his reason, or his intelligence. In short, this is a question that is very different from Xiaobai's nature.But he still asked the question, it was a coincidence.
"If you want to survive, you must follow the way of heaven." The joke-like sentence was said by Xi Ran in a heavy tone, which made people have to feel his seriousness.
Xiao Bai almost laughed, but of course, after pulling the corners of his mouth, he realized that he couldn't laugh at all.Unknowingly, he accepted the other party's idea, and went on with the flow, "It doesn't matter whether the way of heaven exists or not. Even if what you said is right, aren't monsters born with these talents of the way of heaven?" Beloved? Those who are as weak as human beings are outcasts who have never been favored by heaven."
Xiran didn't argue with him about these things. No one in the world has more say than him about the existence of the Dao of Heaven. He is under the pressure of Dao of Heaven all the time, so he couldn't help but believe it. "No matter how powerful the monsters are, they are still subject to the shackles of life, old age, sickness and death. Perhaps the ancestors of our family have already realized this, so they worship unique and illusory gods, even though most of these worships are mere formalities, never sincere. However, the obscure facts are also facts, and 'it' is all around us, but it's a pity that the arrogant monsters have only believed in their own strength, and have lost the wisdom and humility that conform to the way of heaven."
He didn't speak fast, and he spoke this long passage in a gentle and calm manner, but without any hesitation in the middle, without any thinking, every word remained in his mind for a long time.
Strictly speaking, this is a truth that Xi Ran has only recently realized. Under the impetus of various external factors, he finally couldn't help but express it.Once you say it, there is an illusion that the pressure is relieved a little.
However, Xiran didn't expect Xiaobai to understand, and there was probably no one in this world who could understand what he said.Wasn't the merciful high priest Haoyan also at a loss when he heard about the way of heaven? This is the best example.
Xiaobai really didn't understand, but his intuition told him that Xiran's sudden feeling was extremely important, he held his breath, and relied on the ability of never forgetting, to deeply imprint every word the other party said in memory.
In addition, even if you don't understand the original meaning of the words, this does not prevent Xiaobai from drawing other conclusions from side-by-side remarks. "Is the way of heaven you mentioned related to your anomaly tonight? Xiran, don't hide it from me. I'm not blind. You already look like this. How could I not notice it? "
The unavoidable problem is unavoidable no matter what, Xi Ran is completely aware of this at this moment.He sighed for a long time, and looked at the other party with a very strange look, almost looking worried.
Xiran couldn't understand, this human youth in front of him, no, what is the matter with youth?He clearly has the heart to fight for the whole clan, but at certain moments, his vision becomes so narrow, as if... only staring at him, Xiran.
"I just feel some power from the Dao of Heaven." Xi Ran waved her hand as she spoke, signaling to the other party that it was no big deal. "In fact, this is not all a bad thing. It is thanks to this warning that I can understand a lot of truths."
Xiao Bai disassembled the other party's response, savored it carefully, and was convinced that what he said was the truth, at least part of the truth.
However, Xi Ran used the word "feeling" too lightly. If it was only to this extent, it would not be able to explain the blow that he almost fainted just now.
Xiaobai had some doubts, but finally gave up asking.Xiran's mouth is like the tightest clamshell in the world, and it took a lot of effort to pry open a crack, allowing him to reveal some truth. At this time, pressing every step of the way will only lead to a backlash.
The days to come are long, and Xiaobai believes that he has the means to find out everything after all.
He was thinking about his future plans here, but his silence caused another person to feel uneasy, and to put it bluntly, it was just Xi Ran's own guilty conscience.He didn't know how bad his body had been under the long-term external torture. The only thing he could be sure of was that it must be terrible.Now that he didn't have a mirror at hand, he couldn't confirm whether his complexion was even uglier than gold paper.If his face is really ashen, wouldn't Xiaobai have to see many clues?
People can't help scaring themselves, the more anxious they are, the more the trajectory of their thinking will run in a bad direction, and before being completely frightened by themselves, Xi Ran can't care less about reluctance, and abruptly changes the subject, "Xiaobai, if one day I am proved to be right, can I get a promise from you—even if human beings become the unique masters of this world, please leave a glimmer of life for monsters?"
"A glimmer of life?" Xiaobai repeated the four words, neither refusing nor agreeing.
It's not that he can't hear the sincerity of the other party's words, the majestic emperor has put down his body and humbled himself, as long as he is not born with a hard heart, he seems to be able to agree to all his requests.The reason why Xiaobai didn't say anything was because he had never considered such a problem, no, it should be more accurate to say that he never thought that he would face such a problem one day.
Xiran also understood that his request was very unreasonable, and he didn't even give a proper explanation. However, he still didn't want to say more details after all, and he really couldn't explain clearly.Slightly smiled wryly, "Take it as a hypothesis. If that day really comes, can you give me this promise?"
Without any basis, Xiaobai relied more on intuition, but still blurted out a sentence without thinking, "Is it really important whether I promise or not? Are you not afraid that I will renege on my promise?"
Xi Ran really wanted to ask a question—would you break your promise?But before the words came out of his mouth, he realized that it was meaningless.Maybe Xiaobai himself is not aware of his paranoia, but this characteristic really exists, and it has become more and more serious due to the influence of the environment.Xiran can't imagine how Xiaobai will grow up in the future, but Xiran knows that no matter what promise Xiaobai makes at this moment, it will be of no value to the future.
The bitterness in his heart made his smile even uglier. Xiran knew this, but unfortunately he could no longer put on a better expression, and almost gave up on himself, "You can just say whatever you want, it's just to make me feel at ease. Even if The peace of mind is not long, at least it won't make me sleepless today."
The effect of a promise may not last forever, but as Xi Ran said, at least it can be exchanged for a peaceful night's sleep.However, I don't know how Xiaobai did it. It was obviously just a matter of lip service, but he just refused to say it.
Xiaobai just said, "You want my promise, that's fine. But I want you to watch me, no, watch me. Only under your watchful eyes can I fulfill the content of the promise without any discount. Xi Ran, can you do it?"
Leaning on Xiaobai's shoulder, this state.It is extremely comfortable for Xiran, this is an extremely broad and solid shoulder, and Xiaobai also deliberately adjusted the most suitable posture for relying on.
From a delicate boy to a mature man, this change takes half a lifetime on human beings, but monsters have a very different sense of time, Xiaobai's change is in Xi Ran's eyes, but only in the blink of an eye between.It's just that Xiran doesn't have the time to lament the passing of time, he just seizes the time to close his eyes and rest his mind.In any case, there are still a series of very difficult questions waiting for him to make reasonable answers.
