Chapter 173 Everyone has a cage in their hearts

The person recommended by Shi Wuzheng was a very special person. After searching for a long time, Chu Xiang saw the person he was looking for, a man who had just returned from hunting and was wearing goggles. Although he was wearing a hat and covering his face, Chu Xiang

I could still see the difference in him at a glance.

Now Chu Xiang walked towards him. The man wearing goggles did not panic, and had no intention of escaping. He got into the short and simple house.

After getting into the small house, the temperature inside was a bit beyond Chu Xiang's expectation. This simple residence built with tents, leaves, boards, waste paper and other items was very warm, and it became even warmer after the brazier in the middle was lit.

"You came to see me?" the man asked, even though he was inside the house, he still didn't take off his goggles.

"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded and picked up the firewood in the brazier. The flames burned even brighter.

"Shi Wuzheng asked you to come?"

"Yes." Apparently Shi Wuzheng had told him about this, and Chu Xiang returned to his original appearance.

"What if I refuse?" There was no surprise at Chu Xiang's appearance. The man took off his goggles and hood. His eyes were not black and white, but had blue pupils, long golden hair, and a full face of beard.

.

"I'm curious, why are you here?" Chu Xiang was not surprised at all by the appearance of the person in front of him, because Shi Wuzheng had already told him and skipped the difficult questions raised by the other party without giving him a chance to refuse.

"This world is very complicated." The golden-eyed man said.

Chu Xiang nodded. He understood that the other party did not want to discuss this issue and said, "I need someone to help me make the world a little simpler."

"I'm not that kind of person."

"This is what you will become."

"You may be a little overconfident."

"Do you know who I am?" Chu Xiang said.

"I'm not interested in anyone's identity."

Chu Xiang nodded. This was confidence, a more confident attitude than Chu Xiang. No matter who it was, there was no difference in front of him.

"My name is Chu Xiang, and I am known as the Demon Lord." Chu Xiang said.

"Do you want to get rid of the Demon Lord?" The man with golden and blue eyes looked up into Chu Xiang's eyes. He obviously knew the Demon Lord Chu Xiang. In one sentence, he revealed what Chu Xiang was thinking. He was indeed not an ordinary person.

"Isn't this obvious?" Chu Xiang asked without answering.

"I'm not a casual person."

Chu Xiang understood what he meant, that a good minister should choose his master, and said: "The strength of the Jiangwu Hall only accounts for one-third. I need someone to help me coordinate the other two-thirds of the strength so that I can

The power of self-reliance.”

"not enough."

"That's why I need you."

"I am a person who is very afraid of death."

Afraid of death means it is very dangerous, and he does not want to do dangerous work.

"What I want is someone who is afraid of death. The more afraid of death, the better."

"I seem to have no choice."

"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded. His only choice was to surrender, because Chu Xiang told him that he still had two-thirds of his strength. This secret was a fatal secret.

"Didn't Shi Wuzheng tell you what kind of person I am?"

"No."

"You may be too confident."

"I think that's a plus."

"I betrayed my motherland and my mentor. My wife died because of me. My parents refused to recognize me as their son. I can't even return to my motherland." After a pause, the golden-eyed man continued.

Said: "Now, do you still think I am a suitable person?"

"None of that has anything to do with me." Chu Xiang said.

"Then you have nothing to do with me."

Chu Xiang understood what he meant, was silent for a while, and said: "This will be a new beginning. There will be opportunities for change in both the past and the future."

"I don't want to change."

"I know a monk who drew a line to separate black and white. However, he spent twenty years and could not get to the white side. He could only go to the black side on this line."

"He trapped himself."

"Yes, he trapped himself. When he drew this line, he knew that as long as he stepped across it, there would be no more darkness. But he didn't know that when he drew this line, he was trapped.

When you are on your own, the line is always there. If you don’t draw it, it will never become a cage. Once you draw it, it will become a prison in your heart.”

The golden-eyed man was silent. After a while, he asked, "Who is this monk?"

"The Smiling Buddha has no monks." Chu Xiang said.

"What is the virtual realm?" the golden-eyed man suddenly asked.

"I don't quite understand either. Until now, I only understand one thing: empty this body and accept all things." Chu Xiangdao, stretched out his palms, the air flow in the palms swirled rapidly, the cold air condensed, forming a standard cylindrical cyclone in the palms

.

"How many virtual realms may there be in this land?" The golden-eyed man continued to ask without being surprised at the vision in Chu Xiang's palm.

After a moment of silence, Chu Xiang said: "There may be more than we imagined."

The golden-eyed man frowned slightly, and his expression changed for the first time. Chu Xiang held the long sword, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and pointed his index finger between his eyebrows. Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere changed drastically, and a heavy pressure was born out of thin air, beating continuously.

The flames were suppressed.

For a moment, Chu Xiang withdrew his finger. After a long time, the golden-eyed man said: "Such power is indeed beyond the scope of the mortal world."

Chu Xiang nodded. What he did just now was very simple. He visualized the terrifying atmosphere of the twelve golden people he sensed in Mingsha Mountain, and reflected it in the mind of the man with golden and blue eyes. The atmosphere embodied by Chu Xiang was far away.

It was far inferior to the weather that Chu Xiang sensed, but it was terrifying enough for the golden man. He understood that the weather that made Chu Xiang feel like this would definitely have the power to destroy heaven and earth, and have the power to transcend the world.

"This road is very long." Chu Xiang said.

"Yes, it's very long, but I want to go to the end and see." There was a light in the eyes of the man with golden and blue eyes.

Chu Xiang successfully aroused the interest of the golden man. For many people, the lack of goals is because he has never seen anything that shocked them. Once they understand that there are things in this world that are far beyond their knowledge, this shock will

Change his mind and break through his inner shackles.

Skinning the hunted beast, removing the internal organs, cutting it into pieces and roasting it on the fire, the golden man moved very slowly, and the focus of his eyes was not on the thing in his hand at all.

"I have been called a genius since I was eleven years old. I graduated with a doctorate at the age of twenty-one. I was expelled from my motherland at the age of twenty-three. I wandered in China for thirteen years and rode a bicycle to Tibet thirteen times.

Once I pulled a small boat to Namtso and played in it for a long time. Then I was arrested by the National Security Bureau and detained for thirty-four days. Later, they actually let me go without deporting me. I have never left China since then.

." The golden-eyed man said slowly.

Chu Xiang did not interrupt him, understanding that he just wanted to talk, release the pressure in his heart, draw a clear line between himself and the past, and at the same time let Chu Xiang get to know him better so that he could start working on it in the future.

"Do you know how I met Shi Wuzheng?" the golden-eyed man said, with a mysterious yet happy smile on his face.

Chu Xiang looked at him, waiting for him to say.

"He is my junior brother. One day I saw him and he was with a woman. He suddenly came over and said to me: Senior brother, I brought your wife to you."

"She became your wife later?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.

"Yes." The golden-eyed man nodded.

"It's great to have such a junior brother." Chu Xiang said with a smile.

"That was the first and last time I met him. No one knew that we knew each other except her."

The two of them had only met once, which surprised Chu Xiang. Sure enough, outstanding people have all kinds of quirks.

The golden-eyed man picked up a book next to him: "I have been in China for thirteen years, and I have read this Tao Te Ching at least three hundred times, but I never understood it. It was not until the drastic changes that I understood the first sentence, I

After studying for another three years, I finally managed to understand this book. Today, I truly understand the power it contains."

Chu Xiang has only read it once and has forgotten more than 90% of the content. He has no idea what power he is talking about.

"I heard that those who can understand this book are not ordinary people." Chu Xiang said.

"Maybe no one understands it yet," said the golden-eyed man.
