After listening to the story told by the other party, Soshiyang was silent for a long time. He knew what the story was implied by.
Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where is that person?"
"He has been regretting."
"regret."
"Repent your failure and think about what is wrong with being yourself."
"Will He... make mistakes?"
"Everyone doesn't think He will, and even He doesn't think He will, but this is actually not His first mistake."
As he said that, the confused man looked at the shuttling bronze bell.
"It's in this place that He made his first mistake. If he could have felt it at that time, there might not be any subsequent failure."
Soshiyang also looked at the clock. Although the glass surface was broken and the slender hands decorated with gold and mother of pearls were not scratched at all. The mechanical structure inside could be seen from the small glass window at the bottom of the clock, but the gears no longer rotated and the pendulum no longer shook.
No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary bronze bell.
"You're tired of standing. Are you interested in having a cup of tea with me now?"
Soshiyang nodded slightly.
Although this person's words are a bit confusing, they are hard to make people feel annoying, and Soshiyan wants to know more from him.
The confusing man then took Soshiyan to a room behind the hall.
It was a simple room, with two chairs on both sides of a mahogany table carved with giant pythons entangled with each other. On the wall was a painting of calligraphy and painting, which was written in black ink, but he did not recognize these symbols, and it seemed that they were written with a huge brush.
So he pointed to the calligraphy and painting and asked.
"What was written?"
"An ancient Terra word, meaning...the heart is as calm as water."
"You wrote it?"
"No, one of my friends."
When Soshiyang sat on the chair, its weight suddenly creaked, and the confused man raised his fingers, and a white porcelain teapot and a pair of white porcelain cups flew out under the table.
The confusing person pinched his right hand out of thin air. Soshiyang saw a small cluster of dried plant leaf stems appear in his hand. Then the lid of the pot was opened, and the other party spread the dry leaf stems into the pot, then stretched out his fingers and pointed it gently. A cluster of blue flames suddenly rose from the bottom of the pot, and soon made the mouth of the pot spew out of heat.
During this process, Soshiyan did not see that the other party had added water.
“Don’t you need water?”
"It has been added in advance, just as you and I talk."
A minute later, the flames went out, and the slut filled the white porcelain cup, and a light and strange fragrance filled the surrounding air with the heat flow, and then the slutty person sat back to his chair.
"You are the second person to drink with me, and the confused ones are very happy today."
The confusing person laughed clearly and then raised his cup.
Soshiyan also raised his glass to respond to the other party, but he was even more curious whether the man would take off his mask while drinking tea.
As a result, he was disappointed. The confused person raised his glass and looked up, and the liquid in the cup actually penetrated into the mask.
Soshiyan picked up the cup, which seemed too delicate in his hands, so he had to be very careful.
He blew into the cup, and Soshiyang took a sip, but unexpectedly found that the seemingly hot tea was just warm, and it was really bitter when it entered his throat. It was the most difficult thing he had ever drunk in this life.
“Um…”
Although it was very difficult to drink, Soshyan did not show it and just drank the rest of the sip.
"You've never had tea like this, right?"
The confused person slowly put down the cup, and Soshiyang also placed the cup on the table, and the other party immediately filled the cup again.
"I am a warrior and have no intention of doing such idle things that waste energy and time."
"Ha, I feel like a waste of time when drinking tea. In order to save a woman who should be an enemy, she can run for several days, even without regard for life and death. Is this the style of a warrior?"
Soshiyang remained silent, but just picked up the teacup and took another sip. This time it was still bitter and hard to bear, and even a little more spicy.
Then he explained:
"Everyone has a ruler in his heart to measure the people and things he comes into contact with, that's all."
"Since that's the case, I can't say anything else. How do you think the tea tastes like."
"I can't appreciate it, and...it's taste seems to be changing all the time."
At this moment, the confused person suddenly smiled with his palm.
"Ha, your reaction is the same as him."
"who?"
"The first tea drinker with me."
"It has something to do with me?"
"No."
"this--"
"A person, a tea, a taste. You are not drinking tea, but yourself. Because you always hide pain and doubt in your heart, what you drink is also painful doubt, and then your confusion. Although you have made up your mind, you are still at a loss about what may happen in the future. You don't even know how to face those who trust you and respect you."
Soshiyang was speechless and could only sit quietly on the chair.
"Do you want to know the story about Xerxes?"
The other party's words made Soshiyang raise his head slightly, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then shook his head again.
"I... don't want to."
This is Soshiyang's truth. In fact, even with Elena, a living witness, Soshiyang rarely takes the initiative to explore the past, and it seems that he has not realized what he is resisting.
After saying that, he paused and asked sincerely.
"Disconcealer, is this a normal reaction?"
"no."
"Then should I learn about the past of the Primarch and understand the truth of the past."
"Two things, first, I can't give you any truth, second, what is the truth you are referring to."
"this--"
Soshiyang sorted out the thoughts in Li's mind and suddenly decided to put this aside for the time being. He still had an important issue that he didn't understand.
"Doess, are you a monk Seid?"
The confused person put down the teacup and said softly:
“Yes, not.”
"I do not understand."
“Not yet.”
As he said that, he stretched out his palm and suddenly a golden light flashed by, and a golden mask appeared on his palm, exactly the same as what he wore on his face.
Looking at the mask, Soshiyang was shocked. This was the piece left by Seid, because he remembered that there was a small inverted triangle symbol on the forehead of the mask, which was not found on the mask on the face of the Confused.
Then under Soshiyan's gaze, the confusing man pressed the mask on his face.
For a moment, Soshiyang seemed to feel the other person's body suddenly blurred, and many afterimages were separated, which overlapped the next moment.
"Now, I am."
"this......."
Soshiyang opened his mouth slightly, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and finally he spit out a few words.
"I remember putting that thing..."
"As long as you see you, it will come back to my hands, and maybe someone has reminded you."
Soshiyang was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered that Kayang had indeed told him this, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.
