"what book?"
"What are you talking about?" Luo Cheng asked immediately.
At this time, Lin Xi stopped answering.
Because he saw a flash of thread above Luo Cheng's head. The real benefits created by the first book have finally arrived just now.
In a daze, it seems that there are many fragmentary scenes connected together.
In one of the scenes, it was Luo Cheng who was guarding the northern gate of Kyoto and was trampled to death by angry soldiers. His body was also hung on a high flagpole in public.
"Have I seen his future?" Lin Xi thought so at first.
Then he shook his head: "No! What I saw was his fate."
"The future is uncertain. It may have many types and can be changed at any time due to an accident. But fate... is relatively firm. Everything that is happening now is ultimately to bring someone, something,... push toward a predetermined outcome.”
"This is just like, for ordinary people, maybe through current efforts, they can become a person who has made some contributions to society and become a person who realizes his own value, or he has chosen to degenerate and eventually become a dregs of society. For Society has caused a certain amount of damage or... it has no meaning for society. This is the uncertainty of the future. And fate is the death waiting at the end, every mouthful of food eaten, every mouthful of breath The air, every word spoken, every action made...these are all trivial causes of future death. If people maintain their absolute purity while alive, they can live relatively longer. But The contradiction is that you have to breathe and eat to live. The weak toxins in the food, the weak germs in the air, and every exercise are accumulated damage to the body. These... are slowly but surely destroying the body. It destroys life and pushes life to death."
"So fate is contradictory. It has an inevitability, and the inevitable end is the determined ending."
Lin Xi turned around and looked at some of the servants around him.
For a moment, it seemed as if they saw their fate.
Some of them will make a fortune in the future, some will die in their prime, and some will remain unknown.
Then in Lin Xi's sight, these pictures became chaotic and mixed, like annoying snowflakes in an old-fashioned black and white TV series.
"Is it because these servants know each other, so their fate must be related?"
"This shows that the 'wonderful skill' I suddenly acquired has not yet been mastered to a relatively advanced level, and is only preliminary development. Therefore, I can only see a single line, some flashing pictures, and I can't connect them together and capture what I want from the countless messy threads of fate." Lin Xi thought to himself.
No matter what story "The World in the Haze" tells, the final feeling is that an era and a doomed tragedy control everyone's destiny.
They are like helpless puppets under fate, making choices that should be like this but should not be like this, and finally embark on a path of no return.
What is destiny?
For the poor, for those who cannot resist society and rights, the fate is... knowing that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, but they must grit their teeth and go through the tragedy.
When they can't choose any more possibilities, the only way left is their destined destiny.
Just like Wang Ergou, Cuilian, Mo Sanshao, Liu Mazi in the book...
They may have seen through their fate and ending a long time ago.
But he dove in anyway.
It is precisely because of the core of this story that when the book spreads widely enough, it will have a great impact.
The feedback given to Lin Xi was the one that allowed him to get a glimpse of the trajectory of his destiny.
Turning her head and looking at Luo Cheng, Lin Xi restrained the non-existent pity.
All living beings suffer, why can't they suffer this King You of Xia Kingdom?
However, the destruction of the city and the death of King You...does this mean that in a more likely future, the current situation of Xia Kingdom will be overturned?
Lin Xi was not so sure.
Because a moment's picture cannot represent everything.
It is also possible that a certain prince rebelled, or that Luo Cheng broke the tacit understanding inherited by the eight kings with different surnames for many years and finally chose to take sides...
All of these may lead him to such a tragic ending.
"Brother Zun!"
"Hey! Brother Zun! What are you thinking about?"
"Come back to your senses!" Luo Cheng shouted to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded without revealing any words and continued the previous topic.
"Next, I want to write a story about the exchanges between the nobles of our Xia Kingdom. In this... I have to have your help! After all, I am just a little noble bastard in a remote place. For real big people, I want to write a book. We still don’t know much about the lifestyle of the nobles,” Lin Xi said.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately became interested, so he hurriedly said: "This is no problem. As long as you finish writing, let me read it first. I will answer whatever you ask. When you publish the book, as long as your book does not involve some If the content is not appropriate, I can also sign it."
Luo Cheng is not trying to take advantage.
With his status, there is no need to take advantage of this.
It just writes about the life and dealings of the nobles of the Xia Kingdom. Even if pseudonyms are used and the names are used in a pretentious manner, it is inevitable that some people will fall in love with it and cause trouble.
If there is Luo Cheng's signature, all these troubles will be taken care of by Luo Cheng, and a lot of trouble will be saved.
"Okay!" Lin Xi did not refuse.
He not only needs Luo Cheng to help him write a book, but also needs to use Luo Cheng to watch the changes in his destiny.
The moment he agreed to Luo Cheng, he took another look at Luo Cheng's fate.
The ending hasn't changed, it's still the same.
This means that the intersection between Luo Cheng and him will not affect the trajectory of his destiny.
Wanting to change...is not easy.
With Luo Cheng's help, Lin Xi's new book received even stronger promotion.
This time, the whirlwind blown by Linxi was more violent than the last time.
Perhaps in Luo Cheng's eyes, the new book "The Electric Age" is far less interesting than "The World in the Haze", but for more people, Lin Xi undoubtedly put 'pacifism' in their minds, and Lin Xi provided them with It shows a future world that may be possible, but is so magical and incredible.
In the future, the survival of ordinary people will still be a problem.
In the future, people will still have to face many natural and man-made disasters.
In the future, everything will not be so beautiful, even though...everything is described as magical and seemingly beautiful.
And it is precisely because of such 'real' strokes that it is easier for people to relate to it, and it makes people feel that...such a future may really be possible, but they can't help but yearn for it.
