Liang Xuexiu's words were also straightforward. I quickly walked out of the room, nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Liang, the battle the night after tomorrow is very important, and will affect the situation of Yin and Yang in the entire Forty-Nine City, so I hope
I can recruit more people to help. Of course, this is not a requirement, I just hope you can help."
Liang Xuexiu smiled slightly and was not polite. He sat down on a wicker chair in the yard and said with a smile: "Lin Yang, do you know that sometimes you and your grandfather talk exactly the same."
"Oh?" I was stunned and asked, "What kind of relationship do you have with my grandfather?"
"It's a long story..." Mr. Liang smiled slightly and cleverly avoided my question: "But I can see his shadow in you when he was young. Do you want me to come?"
Help Sijiucheng survive this disaster, right?"
I nodded: "I'm begging you, I beg you to promise me."
Mr. Liang smiled and said: "When I was young, I was as passionate as you, caring about the world, and wishing I could save the world alone... But later I discovered that my behavior was wrong. I worked hard and ran around.
After decades, in the end, the world is still the same world, but I myself have changed."
"Oh? Have you changed yourself?" I asked in surprise.
Mr. Liang smiled slightly and said, "I remember I told you before that the most unscrupulous people in the world are the common people. Do you still remember?"
Of course I remember. Mr. Liang’s shocking remarks are still fresh in my mind.
Although I don't completely agree, Mr. Liang's views are unique after all.
Mr. Liang crossed his legs and continued: "Haha, as long as you remember, people in this world are the most hateful. If you treat them well, they may not remember it, but if you do anything that makes them uncomfortable
Even if you just glare at them or touch them, they will remember you for the rest of their lives and regard you as their father-killing enemy!"
"Old sir...this sentence is a bit...a bit too much, isn't it?" I asked quickly.
Mr. Liang laughed: "However, that's not the case at all. This is the world and the virtues of these people. To put it another way, let's say a group of people. If you help them every day at first and suffer, they may not accept your help.
Even if I accept your favor, it is only temporary. But if one day you suddenly stop helping them, what do you think they will do?"
"What...are you doing?"
"They will resent you and want to talk you down so lowly that they want to drown you with their own spit!" Mr. Liang laughed and said: "So since the world is like this and the people are like this, then I
Why do you still need to help? How will the people of Forty-Nine City be any better?"
I was stunned. I thought what Mr. Liang said to me last time was just accidental. However, I did not expect that Mr. Liang actually had such a deep-rooted prejudice in his heart.
I wanted to speak, but found that I could not refute Mr. Liang at all.
He looked back at me and said with a smile: "Haha, Lin Yang, to be honest, I have seen through it a long time ago. That's why I am so negative. Take the past twenty years as an example. In these twenty years, I have
I thought I could really save the world, but what happened in the end? The disaster is coming or not. None of the ambitions your grandfather promised in front of me have been realized. The only thing I have changed is? It is myself...
In the past twenty years, I have not returned home once. My family even thought I was dead... This is the change I can make... Please wake up, one person cannot change the world, he can only adapt to the world, one person
He can only change himself."
I was a little speechless because I found that Mr. Liang's thinking was already very solid and could not be shaken by my words.
This is a concept he has formed over the past twenty years!
I gave a wry smile, faced Mr. Liang who was sitting on the wicker chair, shook his head and said, "Since you have already said that, then everything I say is in vain."
Mr. Liang smiled slightly: "That's not true. I won't help you for the sake of the world, but I can help you for my own relatives."
"What... does this mean?" I asked in surprise.
"I only have one granddaughter, Xiaofeng, and the only man in my granddaughter's heart is you. I know this. She even told me that she is even willing to share you with others..." When talking about this, Liang
There was some bitterness on the old man's face: "I know what she meant by these words, and I know how important you are in her heart, so Lin Yang, I won't embarrass you, I can help you.
I can even sacrifice my old life for you, but the only requirement is that you must accept Xiaofeng, accept Xiaofeng like a husband and wife, is that okay?"
Mr. Liang's words were very straightforward and couldn't be more straightforward.
Facing Mr. Liang, I smiled bitterly and fell into deep thought.
I didn't expect that Grandpa Xiaofeng would give me such a big problem at such a critical moment.
…
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the weather in Sijiu City is exceptionally good tonight.
The visibility was quite high, so I could directly see the ghosts whirling in the distance.
We marched all the way towards Gusuo, all silent, but our hearts were already in our throats.
I walked at the front of the team, behind me were the silent second uncle and Songhe Immortal on the left and right.
Although Songhe Immortal told me that his injury has healed, I can see from the way he walks that he is still unable to move freely.
Behind them are Lao Mao and Da Huang. Da Huang is carrying his own ghost-slaying sword, while Lao Mao has a red rope wrapped around his hand.
The old cat had a cigarette butt in his mouth, and the scarlet cigarette butt flashed in the dark night, like a miniature lighthouse, emitting signals.
Further behind, Xiao Feng followed silently. Master Garuda was in a state of being unable to fight, so he did not follow.
Emperor Jianwen and Wu Min are behind the throne. Emperor Jianwen originally had to ride in a white sedan when traveling. Unfortunately, his underground palace has been robbed, and it seems a bit too much to ask for a sedan...
Mr. Liang still hasn't come, so of course I can't agree to his request. What's more, this is the time of survival for Sijiu City, not the time for children to love each other.
We have passed the water stall, and further ahead is the boundary of the West Gate. There is no one around late at night, and the night in Sijiu City has become extremely quiet today.
"It's calm outside, and there's no wind at all. It looks like we're going to have to fight underground tonight." The second uncle said in a deep voice.
Immortal Songhe held a peach wood sword from Xianhe Xiangyun in his hand, and gently stroked his beard: "We are fighting on the side of this ghost, so we may not be opponents..."
The second uncle was calm: "For people like us, life and death no longer matter. The worst we can do is fight after we turn into ghosts. Then the enemy will not have the advantage of being a ghost."
I quickly spat: "Don't say such unlucky words, we may not be about to lose yet!"
Having said that, we have arrived outside the West Gate. Perhaps because there are many more reference objects, Gui Whistle looks far more towering than it did seven hundred years ago.
A few of us stopped across a road and looked at the ghosts. I asked in a low voice: "Second uncle, is it true that the third real person is not coming tonight?"
The second uncle nodded slightly: "He has more important tasks, so he won't come here."
A more important task? I was wondering, what could be more important than the final battle in Forty-Nine City?
But I didn't ask, it's not the most important thing.
"Lin Yang, you are familiar with the environment here. Where can we enter the connection between the underground palace and the west gate?" Immortal Songhe asked softly.
I pointed to the entrance of the subway station under the overpass not far away: "You can enter from there, but you must be careful. There are too many people and it is easy to expose the target."
Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I can go in first and take care of those on duty."
I nodded: "Okay, then you must be careful not to be discovered by them or let them get hurt..."
Xiaofeng blinked at me: "Don't worry, this is not the first time I have done these things..."
With that said, we all took our places and started taking action.
Since the ghost mother hasn't taken action yet, let's take a preemptive strike!
