Chapter 53: Refining the heart is refining the practice
Hao Qi was a step late, he couldn't save the heroine intact, and at the same time, his appearance made the five god hands all come out, so that he himself was hurt, and he was also thanks to the skeleton knight who followed, it seemed to be very familiar with these god hands, and finally relied on it to lead Hao Qi and the hero and heroine out of the eclipse, so that they returned to the material world.
And then......
Five days later......
Hao Qi followed the comic male protagonist Gus to a place, here was a teenager brought them here, the boy is also Gus's partner, is Gus and the hero who turned into the hand of God used to be in the mercenary group, one of the members of the Eagle Regiment, with the help of this teenager, the unconscious Gus and the heroine Casgaard temporarily stayed here, in an abandoned mine.
A day ago, that is, the fourth day after the eclipse, Gus and Casgaard both woke up, to be precise, Casgaard woke up first, and Gus woke up later, and then there was a scene in the comics, such as Casgaard because she saw too much horror in the eclipse, and also saw her partners die miserably, and finally she was raped by the most trusted head of the regiment in front of her beloved man, all of which made her directly mentally break down and go crazy.
Gus couldn't stand this, and rushed directly into the wilderness of the night, where he was attacked by countless ghosts and ghosts, and the skeleton knight who had been guarding nearby for the past few days also appeared, telling Gus that he would face such a world in the future, as a sacrifice to the eclipse, every drop of his blood, every piece of flesh would be destined to be devoured by the existence of the dark world, if he didn't want to die, he had to keep struggling, and keep fighting in this dark night of death.
Then something happened, such as Casgaard gave birth to a demon baby, after she was raped, she was polluted and eroded by the hand of God, and seeing this demon baby, Gus's first reaction was to destroy it, and as a mother, Casgaard, even if she had a nervous breakdown, still instinctively protected her child, in fact, Gus was reminded by the skeleton knight, and also knew that this child was probably the son of him and Casgaard, as the sun rose, the mutilated baby disappeared, but this was not death, but like those ghosts and ghosts, he was driven into the netherworld by the sun。
In fact, in the past few days, Hao Qi has also had several conversations with the Skeleton Knight, and the Skeleton Knight's origin of Hao Qi is really strange, because this is an existence that knocks the immortal Zuode to the ground with his bare hands just by relying on mortal flesh, and can even be said to be comprehensively crushed, such an existence is unheard of, because this is the power of pure flesh, not magic or similar occult arts, it is purely the power of human flesh, but it defeats demons and apostles, which is simply impossible.
But in fact, this thing did happen, and it happened right in front of the skeleton knight's eyes, so it was impossible for the skeleton knight to say that he was not curious, and even he probably had many other ideas, but unfortunately, Hao Qi did not explain and introduce more, and even Hao Qi was very silent when he looked at the skeleton knight.
That's right, Hao Qi is actually more curious than the Skeleton Knight, when he read this comic, he had too many unsolved doubts, such as what the Hand of God is, what is the Abyss, the feud between the Skeleton Knight and the Hand of God lasted for a thousand years, who was he a thousand years ago, was he the existence called Overlord in this world? and so on, these are all Hao Qi's doubts.
But he also kept in mind his intention to come here, he came to refine his mind, he came to cultivate, not to solve any puzzle, solve any worldview, or complete any task, repeating, he was not passing through an infinite stream, but he just came to this world to cultivate.
And the direction and goal of his cultivation is...... Gus!
Another weak man, another man who walks the way of the weak, and then his soul is tempered by the way of the weak and this cruel reality, it has long been not refined into steel, but thousands of refinements, ten thousand refinements, one hundred thousand refinements, millions of refinements, and finally turned into a more exaggerated existence than diamonds, such a strong soul is really only seen in Hao Qi's life.
So Hao Qi doesn't plan to get too deep into the plot, or to explore the plot, he plans to follow Gus all the way, tempering his heart all the way, and similarly, he also wants to help Gus, this man who obviously has a will far beyond the will of the gods, but lacks the key strength of the character, Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and the scope of self-improvement also includes strength, not that the weak should give up their strength, these are two different things.
Therefore, Hao Qi did not participate in the communication between the Skeleton Knight and Gus, and even when the Skeleton Knight left, he did not go to see him off or talk, everything was waiting for Gus to calm down on the fifth day, and he appeared in front of Gus.
"Gus, he's the one who rescued you and Casgaard, along with Uncle Skeleton. When the young Rickett saw Hao Qi's arrival, he immediately said to Gus, who was on guard.
Gus was wielding a huge two-handed sword at the moment, in the eclipse, one of his arms and one eye were lost, and it had only been five days since the eclipse, even if his body was a diamond that had been tempered for thousands of years, and at this time he was still weaker than ordinary people, but he was already wielding it with a two-handed sword, and began to exercise his martial arts.
Hearing Rickett's words, Gus slightly lowered the tip of the sword facing Hao Qi, but his arm still held the hilt of the sword, and there was no slackness, Hao Qi was fine, he hugged his fists and said: "Hao Qi, I was also at the right time at that time, needless to say to save my life or something." ”
In that eclipse, when Hao Qi appeared, Gus and Casgaard had already passed out, and then when Hao Qi and the skeleton knight broke out of the eclipse together, the young Rickett only saw them rescue Gus and Casgaard, so it is not clear what Hao Qi did, and Hao Qi is actually an ordinary person no matter how you look at it, and Gus himself is the top warrior among ordinary people, and even he has exaggerated to the extent that he relies on the power of mortals to kill transcendent beings, although it depends on equipment, strategy, and sacrifice and desperateness, but this is already an exaggerated thing, it can be said that he is the strongest apex existence among ordinary humans in this world, who can match him, it is estimated that this world will not exceed the number of hands.
It was precisely because Gus was such a warrior that he didn't think Hao Qi could do anything in that eclipse, after all, even the strongest level warrior among mortals like him could not do anything, although he was not an ant, but he was also similar to an ant in the group of monsters in the erosion, how strong could Hao Qi, who was also an ordinary person, be? Maybe Hao Qi is just a person saved by the skeleton knight, which also makes Gus extremely cold to Hao Qi, this is his outlook on the world since he grew up at a few years, it's none of his business, he won't care if you kill people and set fires, although after joining the Eagle Regiment, he found family, friendship, and love after a little better, but under the horror of this eclipse, especially a few days after this eclipse, he definitely can't talk about any friendship with strangers.
Gus looked at Hao Qi coldly and said, "What's the matter with you, just leave if you're fine, no one is welcome here, and this is not a place where ordinary people can stay." ”
"Ghosts and those spirits?" Hao Qi didn't get angry, he had read the comics, he knew what kind of person Gus was in front of him, his heart actually had a very kind side, and there was also a gentle side, but his outlook on life, values, and worldview were caused by education and experience since childhood。
Gus's eyes sharpened, and he stared at Hao Qi and said, "What did the skeleton knight tell you? This is not a world you can participate in, now, leave immediately!"
Hao Qi didn't pay attention to Gus, but just said to himself: "I'm here to practice...... Don't be angry first, give me a little time, I'll finish talking quickly, I just said, I'm here to practice, I'm a martial artist, martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, because something has caused me to be forced into a desperate situation, almost completely annihilated, but finally there is a slight turnaround, this turning point is practice, practice my soul, my soul is not complete, and even there is a huge gap from perfection, so I want to follow you, along the way to experience the changes in your state of mind, and at the same time feel everything in this world, in order to temper my heart, refining the heart is refining, if there is no action, just sitting somewhere can not refine the heart at allThat's what I want to say. ”
"That's it!?"
Gus took a step forward, he was originally a warrior at the apex of mortals, and his combat experience and combat skills were already supernatural among mortals, this step forward, the distance was not far or close, the speed was just pinched at the moment when Hao Qi breathed, and then the two-handed giant sword in his hand slashed in the air, as if to cut Hao Qi into two pieces.
But Hao Qi could see that even if he didn't do anything with this sword, just stood still, at most it would slash in front of his nose and then fall to the ground......
There was a loud bang, the giant sword smashed to the ground, and Gus looked at Hao Qi coldly and said, "Now you still plan to follow me?" Maybe I will slash with another sword at any time, and this time I will definitely not stop or deviate." ”
"You won't, because you're not that kind of person, and you can't do it, because I'm not that kind of person either. ”
Hao Qi spread out his palm, there was a piece of metal in his palm, and Gus didn't realize anything for a while, the young man behind him, Rickett, was immediately shocked, and ran directly to Gus and squatted down to look at his giant sword carefully, Gus frowned and raised the giant sword, and then his face instantly changed drastically, because the front end of his giant sword, the steel at the tip of the sword was gone, and the tip of the sword, which was about the size of a palm, fell in the center of Hao Qi's palm at this moment.
Hao Qi said: "It's not that it's not unpaid, you let me follow you, watch your spiritual journey, let me also follow this way to refine my heart, this is a big deal for me, I have cause and effect for you, mortals are afraid of causes, Bodhisattvas are afraid of fruits, and it is not an exaggeration to call me a Bodhisattva in my current realm, so I will teach you to practice martial arts." ”
"I know what you're going to do, you have to take revenge, in the same way, you have to protect your lover, you can't have both, so you choose revenge now, kill those monsters in the erosion one by one, you can be hunted down by them, and you think this is the battlefield, the means of war is that you kill me, I will kill you, you will hunt them down, this requires strength, the power to carry out your will, your heart, and your thoughts, in the same way, the woman who has a nervous breakdown is your lover, you will protect her, and the people here are your friends, and you will protect them, and this requires strength, the power to protect your beloved and loved ones。 ”
"After seeing those inhuman powers, I think you must be very confused now, right? This will not make you depressed, but it will make your mind more tenacious, but if the mind alone does not have enough power to exert this mind, then this mind is useless, and I will give you this power. ”
"Let's practice martial arts, in order to take revenge, in order to protect others, in order to fulfill the wishes in your heart, practice martial arts!!"
