Gu Yucheng followed Zhang Zhilin, walking slowly (although he was a soul body, it seemed to be a physical body in the Taiyi Palace.), and looked around cautiously.
Zhang Zhilin said as he walked, "Since you and I have become brothers of the opposite sex, if we get the legacy of the Supreme, we will be half and half."
Zhang Zhilin's words are very righteous. After all, although both of them are soul bodies, you must know that Zhang Zhilin is at least one of the nine stars in the sky, while Gu Yucheng is only one of the stars on the earth and has a broken meridian.
Gu Yucheng swallowed the saliva in his throat, calmed down and said, "No, I just want to restore all the meridians in my body. If you have the chance, please give it to me, and I will leave the rest to you."
Zhang Zhilin was a little surprised: "Your meridians are damaged? Just find some good elixirs. This is the Taiyi Palace, how can it not cure you..."
"My meridians are completely severed." Gu Yucheng said.
Zhang Zhilin was stunned for a moment. Then he patted Gu Yucheng and said, "Believe me, this is the Taiyi Palace. Aren't you and I here just for our own goals? There is nothing to hesitate. Since you and I are brothers, let's split it half and half."
Gu Yucheng looked at Zhang Zhilin and asked, "Do you really believe in me?"
Zhang Zhilin was stiff for a few seconds, then turned around and said with a smile, "If you betray me too, then you will be the first person I want to kill."
Gu Yucheng was stunned, and then asked, "Why am I the first?"
"Because you are my first and only life-and-death acquaintance." Zhang Zhilin's eyebrows were slightly lowered, but there was a bit of sadness in that heroic expression.
Gu Yucheng smiled and then said, "I have also experienced being spurned, ridiculed, and even chased by my brothers and sisters. You are also my first life-and-death friend."
Zhang Zhilin raised his head, looked at Gu Yucheng, and also laughed. Zhang Zhilin walked in front and said to himself, "I have always known that the world is dangerous, but I still suffer deception, betrayal, and slander - probably because I am still willing to trust others. I don't want to be a lonely person all my life..."
Gu Yucheng listened quietly and asked out of curiosity, "Who were you deceived by?"
Zhang Zhilin smiled and said cheerfully, "The person I liked was once thought to be the person I loved."
Gu Yucheng couldn't see Zhang Zhilin's face, but he could hear Zhang Zhilin's voice.
Gu Yucheng said nothing.
Zhang Zhilin then asked, "Why do you want to die with me? Just because your meridians are broken?"
Gu Yucheng nodded and shook his head.
Zhang Zhilin asked curiously, "What's that for?"
Gu Yucheng smiled dejectedly, exuding a bit of helplessness, and said, "I didn't catch the only person who believed in me... I didn't protect her..."
Zhang Zhilin looked at Gu Yucheng's lonely expression and frowned slightly.
Zhang Zhilin asked instinctively, "Why?"
Gu Yucheng said with some shame, "Because at the moment when I protected her, I hesitated in the face of life and death."
Zhang Zhilin was a little confused, and he said calmly, "Then why can you be so calm in front of Zhang Dao?"
Gu Yucheng said lightly, "Because..." After a long time.
Zhang Zhilin asked again, "Why?"
Gu Yucheng's face shed a tear. It was strange, but Gu Yucheng in the soul body shed a tear...
Zhang Zhilin was a little helpless and disappointed. He said, "Because you feel... there is no chance."
Gu Yucheng nodded and said, "Yes... because I feel that I have no chance. I feel that it is difficult for me to take revenge and it is impossible to save her."
Zhang Zhilin nodded, but didn't say anything. He just started walking forward, "Let's go."
Gu Yucheng could clearly feel that Zhang Zhilin's attitude was a little cold.
Gu Yucheng understood it himself.
When he saw Zhang Zhilin's wanton behavior, he knew that he longed to be like Zhang Zhilin, someone who never gave up, never surrendered, and looked down upon the sky. And Zhang Zhilin is indeed such a person. Presumably, a person like him will never look at someone who has made a cowardly choice like himself...
However, Gu Yucheng has no regrets, because he was once such a person, and he was once such an overly rational person - maybe he is still now.
A long time of longing, a long time of forgetting - I will not deny the past, nor will I forget the past. I will always remember the choices I made. Likewise, I will never make the same choice again...
Gu Yucheng looked at Zhang Zhilin walking in front and at Zhang Zhilin's back. He knew that the person he wanted to be was right in front of him...
Gu Yucheng followed...
The conversation between the two of them became sparse along the way. Zhang Zhilin really didn't like people like Gu Yucheng, and he really didn't want to talk to Gu Yucheng anymore - he didn't agree with Gu Yucheng's approach. But after all, he was the only one who could come to Taiyi Palace, so even if he didn't like Gu Yucheng's character. You have to protect him too.
Soon, the two heard the sound of water flowing. A river is also revealed in front of the two of them...
This is a river with no source and no end.
Zhang Zhilin looked at the clearly differentiated river, which was extremely turbid on one side and crystal clear on the other, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so magical..."
Gu Yucheng also looked at the river that was sometimes clear and sometimes turbid, both clean and turbid, and also admired, "Yeah, it's really magical..."
What the two saw turned out to be different scenes...
The two then looked at the bridge across the river.
The vermilion wooden bridge looks very quaint and also very simple, as if the trunk of a big tree was cut down and dyed red and then left here for hundreds of years...
Gu Yucheng and Zhang Zhilin looked at the bridge, and when they came closer, they saw these lines of large characters on the bridge. In the middle it says "Heaven and Earth are unkind". And on the far right is written "Sansheng Bridge". On the big characters of Sansheng Bridge, there is also a line of small characters written: "People have three lives, the past life, this life, and the next life. Go to Sansheng Bridge to pursue the regrets of the past life, face the fears of this life, and know the desires of the next life. Only after you have passed three lives can you Enter the place of inheritance.”
Zhang Zhilin looked at this extremely ordinary bridge, looked at it carefully, raised his feet and started to step up.
Gu Yucheng held him back. Zhang Zhilin looked back at Gu Yucheng and said very calmly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yucheng shook his head and then said, "Is it so simple?"
Zhang Zhilin waved his hand, "If I can't get the inheritance of Taiyi Palace, why am I here? Even if there is danger, I have to let it appear in front of me." After that, he set off directly to enter the Sansheng Bridge.
It was obviously very close, but when Gu Yucheng reacted and tried to pull Zhang Zhilin back, he couldn't reach him. Gu Yucheng walked back to the bridge and looked at it carefully.
"Heaven and earth are unkind..."
This sentence is from Laozi's "Tao Te Ching", in which "benevolence" does not mean Confucian benevolence, but partiality and sensibility. The whole sentence means "Heaven and earth are fair and will not be like people with emotions." Make a biased judgment." It is also saying that heaven and earth do not interfere in anything. Perhaps it is precisely because the heaven and earth are not biased that they can live forever, as the Tao Te Ching says, "Because they do not generate themselves."
And what Sanshengqiao said...
Gu Yucheng seemed to already know something... If he guessed correctly, this bridge can make people fall into the environment...
When Gu Yucheng thought of this, he was suddenly stunned... He was a little moved...
