Twilight War

06

It was already afternoon when Huangxuanjin and the others returned to the mechanical garbage dump, and Huangxuanjin was still walking in front with the paper bag in his hand.

"Huangxuanjin, how did you do it?" Huiwei suddenly looked at Huangxuanjin's back and asked.

"En?" Huangxuan Jin didn't quite understand what Huiwei meant, and looked back at Huiwei with a puzzled expression.

"How did you beat that man."

Huangxuanjin turned around and stood in front of Huiwei, the afternoon sun cast his figure on those mechanical parts piled up in disorder.

"You want to know?"

Huiwei looked at Huangxuanjin and nodded.

"The way of breaking free...acquired is Shaolin Dharma Quan's life-sacrificing pursuit of Zen, resolutely forgetting oneself, meditation and extinction."

Huiwei suddenly felt that Huangxuan Jin's lazy voice sounded in his ears, but he was still seven or eight steps away from Huiwei just now, and when Huiwei realized it, Huangxuan Jin had already brushed past him , and the wooden sword at his waist has already reached Huangxuan Jin's hands

"The way to seal the throat is the Wudang Xiaoyao Sword," Huangxuanjin continued, holding a sword flower with the wooden sword.

Gray Tail reacted quickly and dodged sideways.

But just when he thought he could dodge it, the wooden sword in Huangxuan Jin's hand was already resting on Huiwei's neck.

"The sword moves, unpredictable and uncertain."

Huangxuanjin looked at Huiwei and said.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky. The sky above the mechanical junkyard was surprisingly blue today, so blue that he couldn't find a trace of cloud.The air was filled with the smell of metal, and the figures of the two of them were cast on the piles of waste machinery, distorted like dilapidated mechanical objects.

Huangxuan Jin shook the wooden sword in his hand, and put the wooden sword back intact on the sword belt around Huiwei's waist.

He picked up the paper bag and continued walking forward as if nothing happened just now.

"Huangxuanjin, you lied to me!" Huiwei suddenly shouted at Huangxuanjin's back.

"When did I lie to you again?" Huang Xuanjin turned his head and said flatly.

"You clearly told me that Donghuang's rivers and lakes are long gone!" The young and energetic boy seemed to be bullied by a street bully and wanted to find justice.

"Grandmaster Kudeng who used Bodhidharma is gone, and the Taoist priest who used Xiaoyao Sword is gone." Huangxuan Jin smiled and said: "When people are gone, Jianghu will naturally disappear."

Huangxuanjin ignored Huiwei, and slowly turned over the mechanical mountains one after another, and arrived at the isolated island in the old man's mechanical ocean.

The house made of dilapidated wooden boards looks a little awkward among the scrapped mechanical metal, like a relic from the last century.

He knocked on the willow door with leaks and ax marks, but there was no movement for a long time.

Huang Xuanjin had no choice but to walk slowly to the vegetable field in the backyard, ready to pick up a tomato seedling.

Before he touched the seedling, the window of the wooden house was slammed open, "Huangxuan Jin, if you dare to squeeze my seedling, I will fight you hard!"

"I tell you, I've had enough of you!"

"Believe it or not, tomorrow I'll surround this place with three floors of anti-thief fences!"

"I tell, I'll be real!"

"Eat?" Huang Xuanjin handed the paper bag in front of the old man, "Fish and chips sold at the Vana border."

The two sat in the open space in front of the wooden house basking in the sun, the old man poured the fish and chips onto the paper bag, and while eating the fish and chips, he read the newspaper wrapped in the fish and chips.

He has a grudge against Huang Xuanjin, but he has nothing against fish and chips.

"The newspaper from two days ago!" Huangxuanjin said while basking in his belly. The old man's ears are a little deaf, sometimes good and sometimes bad, so Huangxuanjin always used roar when talking to him. A bird that can startle a dump.

"What happened two days ago! Can news become history in two days!" The old man spread the newspaper and read it seriously, chewing on fried fish, "Oh, really! I actually put my favorite The board is broken! What happened!"

The old man faced the newspaper to the sun, and the afternoon sun penetrated the newspaper and hit the old man's wrinkled face. He smoothed out the wrinkled place with his fingers, thinking that he could read it somehow.

"What happened to Mrs. Montespoon! Are you fighting for favor with Mrs. Fang Tangshi again? What's going on!" The old man studied the broken place. That section has always published some gossip about noble ladies and mistresses. The description is eclectic and fascinating.

"Old man, how old you are, can you take back your lust!" Huang Xuanjin yelled from the side.

"Don't you want to know!" The old man began to look at other forums angrily, no longer caring about the rivalry between Mrs. Montespoon and Mrs. Fang Tangshi, but seriously studying the political situation of Varner and Arthur.

The old man expressed all his opinions earnestly, and kept scolding Varner and Arthur's officials as idiots. Don't you know to listen to his opinions?

Huangxuan Jin got a little bored basking in the sun, picked up a piece of fried fish next to him, but was immediately snapped off by the old man.

"Hey! Did I allow you to eat it!" the old man yelled.

"What's wrong with me eating a piece!"

"Did you know that I live in this world because of fish and chips!" the old man yelled.

"Really? Then your life is really sloppy." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Hey, do you know that when I was working as a laborer on the border of Vana, I really had nowhere to go and thought I would just die. Don't ask me why I fell to that point, I definitely won't I told you!" The old man said while biting the french fries, "Then I happened to have ten copper coins in my hand, so I just wanted to finish a portion of fish and chips, so that I could commit suicide after I was full!"

"Could it be that the fish and chips are so delicious, you don't want to commit suicide after eating?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"That's not it!" the old man said, "There should be three cods in a serving of fish and chips. When I walked to the river and opened the belt, I found that the boss only gave me two! I went to him and he returned them. If you don’t believe me, I will ask him to put together fish bones, and he will believe only two fish bones.”

"Can't you go find him before eating..."

"I was so hungry at the time, I couldn't hold back!" The old man was a little embarrassed and argued forcefully.

"Then, the boss said that there is no cod anymore, can I use other fish? I said no, how can I use other fish besides cod for fish and chips!"

"Then the boss said, there's no other way. The fish I caught tomorrow will be delivered. I'll go find him and make another one for me. I thought, what else can I look for? I'm going to commit suicide by jumping into the river that night. The old man said: "When I walked to the river at night, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. How can I miss a fish!"

"I wandered up and down that river all night, until daylight, and I watched the morning fisherman bring the cod to the store, and I followed behind the fisherman."

"The boss was very surprised when he saw me and said how could anyone get up so early to eat fish and chips! Then I finished the fried cod and told the boss that the day seemed good, and the owner said yes..."

"That's it, I'm alive because of a fried fish!"

At Arthur's border, more than a dozen Templars were left here by Vichypel to deal with the smuggling case of the Bone Eater.

The Templar who stopped Huang Xuanjin earlier followed behind Xi Wen, "Deputy Captain, why do you want us to handle this kind of thing? Shouldn't this kind of thing be handed over to the border military?"

"The military thinks that the Bone Eaters may be related to the Ring Spirits." Xi Wen said, "But it's not sure yet, so we need to investigate."

"Also, who is that person today?"

"Huang Xuan Jin." Xi Wen said.

"He is Huangxuanjin!" the Templar said in astonishment.

"You know him?"

"...Slave with three surnames, who doesn't know." The Templar said with a sigh, "By the way, he really..."

"It's true." Xi Wen said, "I don't know whether he was forced to help or covet power, but he did betray His Highness back then."

"Is such a person really Huangxuan Jin?"

"What do you think Huangxuan Jin is like?"

"I don't know." The Templar shook his head, "I really can't think of what kind of person would do such a thing."

"I don't know why he became what he is now." Xi Wen said, "Do you know about the bloody sand rebellion?"

Xiwen remembered the battle where Huangxuanjin betrayed Donghuang many years ago. It was too late when Arthur got the news, and when he rushed to the battlefield with His Royal Highness Vehipel, everything was over.

And that young man in black was stained with blood, standing alone among the corpses of Huangxuan's dead soldiers and Donghuang's soldiers, the blood dyed thousands of miles of yellow sand red.And in his hand he was holding the slashed sword, the tip of the sword was hanging down, as if it would fall out of his hand at any moment.

The Knights Templar of the Arthur Empire surrounded the dead battlefield, but the boy just looked up at the cloudless and blue sky above the desert.

"Does the deputy head know Huangxuan Jin?"

Xiwen came back to his senses and nodded, "He entered the Knights Templar with the No.1 grade in our class."

"Yeah, it's very strange that someone would survive because of a fried fish." Huang Xuanjin lay back and said flatly, he looked up and watched the light of the sky gradually dim.

"You also think it's strange." The old man said, surprisingly, his hearing is not bad.

"But there must be some reason." Huang Xuanjin said. "It's hard to live, so people always have to find a reason for why they live. It's good to find it, even if it's just a fried fish or something, it's good to find it."

"What you kid said makes sense." The old head nodded with some insight, and stroked the few remaining hairs on his head, "Then what about you, why are you alive?"

"No." Huang Xuanjin said.

"What?!" The old head didn't hear clearly.

"No." Huang Xuanjin repeated, "I never had any reason to live."

"How could there be no one! If not, why haven't you died yet!" The old head couldn't understand Huangxuan Jin's answer.

"It's ridiculous." Huangxuan Jinhou raised his head to feel the heat of the afternoon gradually dissipating, "In order for me to survive, many people died, but I don't know why I want to live."

"What did you say!" The old man's ears are not working well again.

Huang Xuanjin didn't speak any more, just looked up at the sky.

"Hey! What did you just say!" the old man kept yelling.

It's really getting cold...

Belly Snake cleaned up the underground garage carefully, and every time Huangxuan Jin came, the environment he passed became like being swept by Hurricane Junia.

He knocked Huangxuanjin down and cleaned up the silver of the giant abyss carefully, "Bastard, do you know that this thing is very expensive!"

The set of [-] volumes of "Encyclopedia of Theology" beside my bed was also missing several copies. Huang Xuanjin must have taken it casually, read two pages and didn't like it, and then threw it somewhere up.

After tidying up the black and black baked potatoes that Huangxuanjin had eaten, the belly-cut snake felt that Huangxuanjin really had to teach him a lesson.

All day long, he is lazy, lazy, and doesn't know how to help the oil pot when he knocks it down, and he doesn't know how to develop the temper of the young master.

How did such a person survive until now!

But why did he follow Huangxuanjin? He knew that Huangxuanjin had not been like this for a day or two, so why did he follow that guy willingly?Even the belly-cut snake himself doesn't know.

This guy is lazy, has no sense of responsibility, and idles around all day long, but for some reason, when he follows Huangxuan Jin... he actually feels very at ease.

Knowing that one day, this guy will be able to bring down the sky, but he actually feels that it doesn't matter, as if it doesn't matter if the sky falls in front of that guy.

But in fact, if the sky falls, that guy will definitely run away first.

Absolutely!

But as long as that person draws out his sword, he feels that everything is nothing to be afraid of.

Belly Snake twitched his mouth and smiled in a corner where no one was paying attention. He couldn't be found smiling like this, otherwise his cold, reticent, indifferent character would definitely collapse.

He was cleaning the fireplace, thinking that Huangxuan Jin is really good, what kind of fireplace should be used for roasting potatoes in summer, but it is indeed too humid here, and it would be much better to light the fireplace.

He pushed aside a few sticks of firewood on the surface, revealing several copies of the "Summa Theology" that were mostly burned inside.

The sugar paper pressed inside the heavy book curled up in the flames, turning into a black unknown object.

That guy Huangxuanjin obviously went to get the book to warm himself up, how could that guy take the initiative to read this kind of book...

How could he have forgotten that the inner and outer three floors are all abandoned mechanical metals, and there is no such thing as wood.

"Huangxuanjin, I want to kill you!!!"

The belly-cut snake yelled with the fireplace shovel, and when he was done he picked up the board that covered the book and wondered where it came from?

Looks like the only wooden structure around here is...

Suddenly there was a deafening shout from the old man at the mechanical junkyard: "Huangxuan Jin! Did you fucking tear down my new fence!!!"

"Huangxuan Jin, get out of here!!!"

The belly-cut snake threw away the fireplace shovel and charred wood boards in his hand, and fell on the dilapidated sofa with cotton lint exposed.

...this day is impossible.
