Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

110th II, Hanzhong.

The same hillside, the same sunny weather, a few cotton-like clouds floating in the clear sky, a delicate and colorful Kongming lantern is like a colorful bird, flying higher and higher in the air.

The audience of this simulation exercise before the hot air balloon is still Sun Wu and Lu Ji.

Sun Wu lay on the hillside staring at the Kongming lantern for a long time, and suddenly said: "Seeing these clouds, I finally remembered why I made the Kongming Ball in the first place."

"Maybe you will find it funny. For a while, I thought this world was fake. The sun, the moon, and the clouds were all equipped with monitors, and someone was monitoring my every move outside the world. Then I thought, there should be There are stairs, and if you go up the stairs, you can go to the world outside the real...world. Just like in the movie."

In such a passage, Lu Ji could understand very little. He tilted his head and asked Sun Wu, "Do you think I'm a fake too?"

"Of course you are not fake, it's just that I was really, uh..." She thought for a while, "I can't control myself."

Lu Ji looked at Sun Wu quietly.

Stared at by his curious eyes, Sun Wu's desire to express was ready to move, "Well, let me tell you a story."

"Actually, you don't know, I have an elder brother named Sun Wukong..."

Lu Ji interrupted her: "Isn't your brother's surname Shu?"

"..." Sun Wu: "Same father and half mother."

"The surname should also be Shu." Lu Ji reminded her.

Sun Wu pretended not to hear his reminder, and continued: "My elder brother, Sun Wukong, is very brave, but a little rebellious. At that time, everyone in the world was afraid of the gods in the sky, but he was not. The gods were so hypocritical that they suppressed one another. Sun Wukong couldn't see it, so he went to the sky to steal the fairy's elixir, and made a big scene at the fairy's banquet."

Lu Ji was fascinated by what she heard, and asked her: "And then?"

"There is no more. In short, my brother is invincible in the world. I used to want to be like him, but later I realized that I was overwhelmed. Whether it is Truman or Monkey King, I am overwhelmed."

Lu Ji thought for a while, and seriously commented: "Although your story is short, it is also very interesting. I have read it in a book before, some people practice the method of dissecting corpses to become immortals. Cross the gap between humans and gods and enter the new world. Realm, I thought it was deviant enough, but I never thought there would be someone like Sun Wukong who would dare to use flesh and blood to fight against gods."

"That's right." Sun Wu sighed and lay flat on the hillside. "I used to overestimate myself and compare myself to Monkey King. After being tempered for 2000 years, I finally saw myself clearly. I look very powerful, but in fact I am weak, pitiful and helpless Hey, I still think too much, and I don’t lack anything, it’s great to indulge in pleasure, what’s the trouble, what’s the resistance, won’t I be beaten sooner or later?”

"Then do you still want to go to the cloud to have a look?" Lu Ji asked.

"..." Sun Wu was taken aback, "Didn't you understand what I meant? Those thoughts I had before were just fanciful and unconstrained..."

Lu Ji's eyes were as bright as stars, and his tone was full of encouragement: "Before you said this, I thought your invention was whimsical and flashy, and I was impressed by what you said. Maybe there is a world other than this world. You want to go to the cloud Want to take a look?"

"I said it so casually, but you really take it seriously. It's nothing to look at, it's just deceiving yourself." Sun Wu smiled nonchalantly, and motioned him to look at the sky.

"Look at the Kongming lantern, it has already passed through the clouds and flew away. If there is a world beyond the world, it should be blocked there-do you understand the logic? It's like a dying person who believes in supernatural powers and gods." , I am whimsical because I am powerless. Now I am awake, so when I ride the Kongming Ball tomorrow, let alone whether I can touch the clouds, even if I can, I will not go to see them.”

Lu Ji hesitated: "But since you worship Monkey King so much, are you really willing?"

Sun Wu shook his head, "I dare not be reconciled."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ji said, "Otherwise I will go with you tomorrow."

"..." Sun Wu frowned and looked at him, "You know I'm close to death, right? I haven't even thought about how I'll land. There's a high probability that I'll fall into the mountains or into the sea. Why are you here to die?"

Lu Ji: "Maybe there really is another world on the cloud?"

Such a nonsensical idea can be taken seriously, if it is someone else, Sun Wu must suspect that this person has a problem with IQ.But Lu Ji's IQ must be fine.

She explained: "Let's put it this way, I'm talking abstractly. In fact, I don't want to go to the clouds. I do have some ideals that are difficult to achieve. I just want, um... just want to get out of here."

"What's so difficult about leaving here? Does this also require the courage of Monkey King?" Lu Ji asked.

"It's hard, really, I tried many times and it didn't work. Fortunately, I've seen it through now. It's the so-called step back and the sky is bright..." She took a deep breath, "It's okay to stay here."

There is a floral fragrance in the air, a sweet and dreamy smell.This is the only time in Sun Wu's long life that she is willing to stay. She believes that there will be wonderful encounters in the future, and there will be people worthy of her staying.If you really think about it that way, the world will be a better place.

Lu Ji was very persistent: "But you still want to leave in your heart? Do you want to try again? I can help you."

Sun Wu didn't care, "How can you help me?"

Lu Ji: "I will do my best."

Sun Wu smiled and said: "No need. I'm very happy that you can say that, but you can't help me in this matter."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at the sky, and the Kongming Lantern was flying eastward, almost out of sight.

Lu Ji followed her gaze, and persuaded her again: "Do you want to go to Jiangdong? That is my hometown, and I can take you back. There are many waterways and abundant products. The water shield is sweet and the perch is delicious. It is very different from Hanzhong. "

Sun Wu: "I know, but..."

"Even if you have failed many times before, maybe you can do it this time." Lu Ji said again.

If I can really leave...

Jiangdong's water shield and sea bass are almost getting tired of eating, she actually wants to eat ice cream, egg tarts, instant noodles, even if she can't remember the taste...

But hard work will always be in vain, she withstood the temptation, "Don't go, I have spent so much time on the hot air balloon, and tomorrow I will prove the Tao with my own body. Isn't it a waste of all my efforts to leave now?"

"Since it's self-deception, there's no need to have a beginning and an end." Lu Ji held her wrist, "Try one last time, just like Monkey King."

Sun Wu was a little dazed by what he said.

She used to compare herself to Monkey King secretly, imagining herself being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain and waiting for someone to rescue her, imagining that she had finally escaped after going through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships.If Sun Wukong is here, someone advises him not to give up, would he not want to refuse?

How could it be?

Or... try one last time and resist again?

After failing so many times, it's okay to fail the last time.It would be best if he could find a way to leave, and if he couldn't find her, he could take a step back.

She looked at the clouds in the sky, and her calm heart stirred up waves again.

After a long time, Sun Wu looked at Lu Ji, "Thank you for your encouragement, then I... try one last time."

Lu Ji was satisfied, "Don't worry, I will help you."
