Humans were social animals, and everyone had the ability to observe others. However, some people were more sensitive, while others were slower. This ability helped people get along with each other, and allowed them to communicate better and survive.
Huo Sixing thought of all the things he had experienced, and he felt very sad and helpless. He sighed at the unfairness of the heavens. Why did they only target him? His life was not smooth, and every step was difficult.
He could not help but sigh. The world was vast, and there was no way out. He thought of all the things he had experienced, and it was all because he was too weak. He could not control his own life, and could only be like duckweed in the water.
If he did not realize his situation, perhaps he could live an ordinary life like an ordinary person, and treat the tribulations of life as training from the heavens. It was also a kind of happiness. But Huo Sixing had endured too much. This kind of Utopian, wishful thinking did not suit him at all. Right now, all he wanted was to become stronger. He wanted to be the master of his own life, and he could not be a fish on a chopping board.
But Old Cang's words suddenly threw him into a bottomless abyss, and his hope of living was suddenly shattered.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to believe Old Cang's words, but reason told him that what Old Cang said was true.
After thinking about it carefully, Old Cang had no reason to lie to him. From the fact that Old Cang could freely use spiritual power in a situation that prevented people from using spiritual power, and that he could disperse the stench in the air, and that he could see the power of Tai Chi at a glance, and that he did not take the Eagle City Lord seriously, as if only the top masters were worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him, and so on, Old Cang was not an ordinary person, or rather, not an ordinary master.
When he thought of all this, he became even more depressed. Didn't that mean that his life was really over?
Old Cang's memory was evoked by Huo Sixing's words, and he was infected by Huo Sixing's sadness and helplessness. He also sighed at the unpredictability of the world. A man of eight feet had a burden, but he was trapped by love, tied down by everything, and wasted his life without any joy.
Others envied him for his high cultivation, but he also envied others for having their own pursuits and their own happiness.
In his spare time, he would often ask himself, "What is the purpose of living?
Why am I living?
Is it to fulfill someone else's trust, someone else's expectations, or should I live a carefree life? "
"Why do you look so sad at such a young age?" Old Cang asked Huo Sixing in confusion.
"Because you can't do what you want to do, so you live in fear." Huo Sixing thought about it.
"You are still young and have a long road ahead of you. What are you afraid of?
There are many ways to accomplish something. You don't have to be able to cultivate. "
Seeing Huo Sixing's expression, Old Cang tried to comfort him. They were strangers, and they both had their own worries. Old Cang was comforting Huo Sixing rather than comforting Huo Sixing.
"Hehe, look at these ants. Are they happy?" Huo Sixing said, pointing at the ants beneath his feet.
Old Cang listened to Huo Sixing's words and said casually, "They are busy and hardworking all their lives. They are not burdened by fame and fortune. Why would they be unhappy?"
"You are not an ant, so how would you know that ants are happy?
How would you know that they don't want a bigger world?
Why wouldn't they want to be rich?
Why wouldn't they want to live in this world? It's just that they are born this way and can't be changed! "
Looking at the ants beneath his feet, Huo Sixing suddenly felt that he was just like the ants. Maybe he was even worse than the ants. Ants were in between pain and happiness, and he was definitely not happy.
"Eh!
I am not an ant, so how would I know how ants feel?
I am not!
Ridiculous!
Hahaha!
I am not you, and you are not me.
Why should I live for you? Why should I control other people's thoughts? Why should I do things that I don't like? "
Old Cang thought about Huo Sixing's words and sighed. It made sense. People were different, and people were different. How would others know what you wanted?
How would you know what other people really wanted?
"Sixing, thank you for your answers. You helped me get rid of my inner demons. Now, I have some things to take care of. When I'm done, I will come find you. If you still want to embark on the path of cultivation, I will do my best to help you."
Old Cang gratefully said to Huo Sixing and made a promise. If the people of the world knew that the once famous Old Cang had made such a promise to a greenhorn, they would definitely be shocked and envious.
"Ah?
You want to leave?
How? "
Huo Sixing was puzzled. Why did Old Cang suddenly want to leave? Did he think this was his backyard? This was the prison of Silvermoon City.
Was this a place where you could leave whenever you wanted?
"Yes, I want to leave. Remember, my name is Wanyan Bingzheng. When you get out, you can ask around. Then, you will know that I didn't lie to you." After Old Cang finished speaking, he kicked down the Black Iron Column in front of him.
"Damn!
You are breaking out of prison!
You have to think carefully. Once you leave this place, you will be a fugitive.
If you get caught, you will be punished even more. "Huo Sixing saw that Old Cang was about to jump over the iron bars, so he grabbed his sleeve and tried to persuade him.
"I said, this cage doesn't lock up my body, it locks up my heart. Now that my heart has been freed, I shouldn't be here.
Why don't I take you out with me? But after I get out, I won't have time to look after you. "Old Cang said in a domineering manner. He really was breaking out of prison without any discussion.
He wondered what the expressions of the guards outside would be like when they saw this.
"I am not guilty. If I follow you out, then I will really be guilty!"
Huo Sixing shook his head. But seeing Old Cang's determined expression, he knew that he was serious, so he let go of Old Cang's sleeve.
Old Cang looked relaxed and leisurely strolled out of the prison.
When he passed by, he ignored the requests of other prisoners, leaving behind a confident and unrestrained figure. The turbid air in the prison and the dust on the road automatically parted for him as he passed. From behind, he looked vaguely otherworldly.
Huo Sixing was very envious. Old Cang was really powerful, and he could go anywhere in the world.
He could go in and out of the prison as if there was no one around.
Old Cang kicked the iron bar, and the sound of it woke up the prisoners on the opposite side. They raised their heads to see what was wrong with Old Cang. Seeing Old Cang step out of the prison in a domineering manner, they were all shocked speechless. It was obvious that the iron bar was broken by Old Cang, which was made of darksteel. Looking at this scene, even a fool could see that the old man was going to break out of prison.
Those who were quick-witted shouted loudly,
"Old man, no, old master, please take me with you!"
"Yes, old man, please take me with you!"
"I have an 80-year-old mother at home, and a crying child waiting for me."
"Old man, I kowtow to you."
Old Cang ignored all of them. He walked out of the prison in a confident and domineering manner, without looking back or stopping.
With a bang, Huo Sixing thought that Old Cang must have kicked the prison gate open again.
He didn't expect Old Cang to be so hot-tempered, and he was very envious.
After Old Cang left, the clean air was suddenly filled with a foul smell. The smell made Huo Sixing cry, and he coughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
He thought that he wouldn't die from the stench if he hadn't been tortured!
He really didn't know how these prisoners could endure it.
He felt a little regretful that he didn't follow Old Cang to break out of prison.
"Hey, are you scared out of your wits? Why don't you run?"
"That's right. You wasted such a good opportunity."
"You know nothing. Do you think this guy can escape?
Maybe he will be caught before he can escape from the prison. "Some prisoners said rationally, thinking that what Huo Sixing did was right.
"Well, that makes sense. Hey, little brother, look at the key on the wall. You take the key and release it, and I will take you out. What do you think?" A prisoner tempted.
"Yes, yes. Don't be afraid. The law doesn't punish too many people. Let's rush out together."
Huo Sixing ignored them and endured the stench alone. He began to miss the time when Old Cang was here.
However, the more he endured, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt that he couldn't get used to the smell. He wanted to control it, but his body rejected it. He couldn't control his tears no matter how hard he tried. This was obviously a place where people lived, so why was it so smelly? Even Frostwolf's cave smelled better than this.
After a while, the guards didn't come in. Didn't the guards know that Old Cang had escaped?
Or did Old Cang kill all the guards?
It was strange inside and out.
When Old Cang kicked open the door of the prison, the silver-armored guards standing in front of the door thought that it was a fugitive who had escaped. They were all very nervous and pulled out their guns to aim at the door.
When the dust settled, they saw Old Cang standing there with his hands blocking the dazzling sunlight. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've finally decided to leave. The Eagle City Lord has ordered that you can come and go as you please!"
A silver-armored guard stepped forward and said, "Everything has been explained clearly. If you have any requests, we will do it."
Old Cang waited for his eyes to adapt to the dazzling sunlight outside. He put down his hands and said, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful!"
"Tell The Eagle Guards that I will not come here again."
After Old Cang said that, he left without waiting for the silver-armored guard to reply. His steps were very slow, but his speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"This master has finally left. I don't know why he refused to leave our prison. The Eagle Governor also told us that if he has any orders, we must do it. If we can't do it, we must report it to him.
Our prison is like his home. We are afraid of offending him. "The silver-armored guard sighed.
"Isn't that so? He's really a strange person. Just the smell in the prison is something that even we brothers can't stand. I don't know how this lord endured it, and he even lived there happily for several years.
I really can't figure it out! "Another guard sighed.
"The way a master does things is always different from us ordinary people. We should quickly inform the Eagle Governor about this.
You guys stay here and watch. We can't let any accidents happen. "The silver-armored guard who had spoken earlier said to the others.
"Yes, that's true. The Eagle Governor has told us to report to him first if anything happens. As for what can happen here, can a group of ordinary people break the iron pillars made of darksteel?
How many people can be like this? You can rest assured and go! "A guard said.
"Damn you, don't you know how to talk? What do you mean by rest assured and go!
Drink three glasses tonight as punishment. "The former pretended to be angry.
"Don't say three glasses, even three bowls will do, as long as it's your treat. Haha." The two laughed and scolded each other. Obviously, Old Cang's departure had made them very happy.
