Volume 1: Rebirth of the Owl Demon Chapter 382: Drunk Encounter with Liu Ziyin
The moonlight turned the whole world into a snow-white appearance. The moment he saw the person in front of him, Gu Qingyang was extremely surprised.
He found that the man in front of him was actually quite handsome, but it was just because he didn't pay attention to his image that he looked slovenly.
However, for bone repairers, it doesn't really matter what a person's appearance is. What really matters is the bone appearance of the bone repairer.
The bone phase is the heart phase.
Bones are the truth.
In this world of bone cultivators, as long as the person is a bone cultivator and has broken through the bone phase realm.
So whether this person is good or bad, and what kind of person he is, can be judged by his life bones.
In this life, Gu Qingyang had never practiced magical powers such as pupil technique.
Logically speaking, when he sees a stranger for the first time, he can only recognize the person with his eyes and intuition at best.
But he himself didn't know why, but the moment he saw the sinner in front of him, he actually felt that this person was very similar to himself.
"Am I dazzled?"
Looking at the drunkard in front of him who was raising his glass high to him, Gu Qingyang froze on the spot. He was questioning himself and his heart.
His instinct was telling him that he should trust this inexplicable intuition. But his reason also made him realize the difference between them.
He was speechless and had many questions.
In the end, he chose to remain silent.
However, when the young man who looked like an alcoholic saw that he was silent, he just shook his head, then smiled sadly, and then lowered his head to drink.
Seeing this man like this, Gu Qingyang became interested in him for a while, so Gu Qingyang did not leave here immediately.
He was just silently sizing up this man who was different from all the academy disciples, silently observing the bones of the person in front of him.
However, when Gu Qingyang looked at the person's bones through his skin, he was immediately deeply shocked by his bones.
"This person actually has some dragon energy in him."
"With a bone like this, you must be born rich and noble."
"Yet he lives in such a miserable state. In a place like Shenlu Academy, he can actually live like a drunkard regardless of everything."
"Hahaha, such a person is quite interesting. However, looking at his appearance, he must also be a frustrated person, right?"
"Well, this person's talent is indeed relatively ordinary. If he was born into a big family, it would be impossible."
…
Three breaths ago, when Gu Qingyang looked at the drunkard in front of him, there was still only a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
But after three breaths, when Gu Qingyang looked at the person in front of him again, his eyes had become quite complicated.
Surprise, doubt, appreciation, profound...
It was just three breaths, and the time of three breaths was not long for anyone. But in such a short period of time, he could see a person clearly.
Through the bone profile, Gu Qingyang used his vicious eyes to discern the extraordinaryness of this person. This person was actually a person with excellent luck.
Dragon Qi is not something that ordinary people can possess casually.
Some people are born rich, and some people are destined to rise.
However, those people may have a little bit of tiger, leopard, and wolf energy in them, or they may have luck represented by other living beings.
But the drunkard in front of him actually had the kind of dragon energy that only an absolute superior could possess.
This dragon energy has been possessed by people from dynasties of all sizes, or the so-called imperial royal family, since ancient times.
Moreover, because of different fortunes, the dragon energy in different people is inherently different.
Although there are only a few dragon auras in this young man's body, these few dragon auras he has are extremely stable and powerful.
From the perspective of luck, the fact that these dragon energy can be so powerful is enough to show that this young man will definitely be the master of one party in the future.
But even a person with such potential would be so depressed at this moment, looking like a loser.
This made Gu Qingyang very confused.
However, Gu Qingyang did admire this young man very much because he saw the unearthly temperament in this man.
Through every move of this young man, he could see that the other person did not want to die, but was eager to change his current situation.
It's just that compared to normal people who try to change when they encounter setbacks, this young man seems to be more willing to choose a different approach.
For example, as he is now, drinking like crazy without restraint, he has become an out-and-out alcoholic.
"Wine, does it taste good?"
Finally, after the drunkard drank three large glasses of wine, Gu Qingyang smiled at him and asked him a question.
After hearing Gu Qingyang's voice, this man just shook his head, then showed a bitter smile, filled another glass and drank it.
He didn't speak, and Gu Qingyang didn't speak either.
Both of them looked strange at this time. The strange thing about this man was his persistence in drinking.
Gu Qingyang looked at him and felt inexplicably that this man seemed to be trying to practice cultivation in such a special way.
The strange thing about Gu Qingyang was that he would be interested in such a drunkard, so he wasted time and never left.
Regarding this drunkard, many disciples in Shenlu Academy knew about him.
His name is Liu Ziyin, and he was born in the Liu family in Mobei. If you look carefully, he is from a real aristocratic family, which is quite extraordinary.
However, such a person has always had only mediocre talents and countless experiences of failure.
The first half of his life seemed completely incompatible with his identity.
In comparison, those who were once regarded as his opponents were much more powerful than him.
Among those people, the one with the most far-reaching reputation is undoubtedly Chu Kuangge.
If his life is more like a big joke, then Chu Kuangge's life is more like an absolute myth.
He had high hopes from his family. Before he awakened his life bone, he lived a good life. But after he awakened his life bone, everything changed.
The originally favorable conditions all left him after his life bone awakened.
His situation changed drastically from that day on.
This is one of the main reasons why he is so depressed now, and other reasons are related to his experiences over the years.
All in all, it is not easy for him to still live peacefully in this world.
If someone else had to experience something like this once, they might not be able to do better than him, let alone be able to withstand repeated blows.
"As for wine, when I first drink it, it only tastes mellow, but after drinking too much, it feels spicy and bitter. When I drink it to the point where I drink it, I forget its taste again."
"Friend, do you want to try it?"
"One cup can make you forget other things. Two cups can make you see a whole new world."
"Three drinks and you should be drunk."
…
Liu Ziyin, who had been drunk for a long time, finally spoke. When Gu Qingyang looked at him, he looked as if he only knew how to drink.
However, he was able to express his understanding of wine to Gu Qingyang with such a drunken look.
When Gu Qingyang heard this, although he still remained silent, he came to Liu Ziyin's side invisibly and picked up another glass of wine.
That glass of wine was supposed to be the wine Liu Ziyin left for him, but Gu Qingyang had silently rejected him once before.
That's why he drank the wine he prepared for Gu Qingyang and forgot that he also prepared a glass of wine for himself.
"bitter!"
However, the first thing Gu Qingyang felt when the strong alcohol entered his throat was not a cold and refreshing feeling, but an unbearable bitterness.
This is a cup of bitter wine. Its taste is extremely bitter. Moreover, this kind of wine does not give people a pleasant feeling at all.
This is a cup of bitter wine.
However, even if he drank such a glass of wine without knowing it, Gu Qingyang did not show any obvious reaction.
At most, he just frowned. But soon, he returned to his original calmness and just sat next to Liu Ziyin with a cup.
"Friend, if you sit in the same place as me, you will definitely be laughed at by those people."
"Many years ago, I was a shame to my family. Now, I am a shame to the academy."
"You will be disgraced if someone sees you sitting with me."
"It doesn't matter."
"Wow——"
Listening to Liu Ziyin's explanation, Gu Qingyang remained calm. Moreover, after thinking for a moment, Gu Qingyang even took the initiative to buy himself a glass of wine.
Then, under Liu Ziyin's gaze, Gu Qingyang naturally raised his glass and planned to drink the second glass of wine.
However, before the wine was in his mouth, the bitter smell had already spread through the cup near his mouth and reached the tip of Gu Qingyang's nose.
But Gu Qingyang, who had already drank this bitter wine once, seemed to be completely unaware of the smell of this wine at this moment.
Raise a glass and drink heavily.
This is how Gu Qingyang treats this second glass of wine, and it is also his attitude towards Liu Ziyin.
He didn't know Liu Ziyin's identity or who Liu Ziyin was.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Liu Ziyin is just an out-and-out drunkard, a loser from a big family, which is a great shame.
But in Gu Qingyang's eyes, Liu Ziyin was just a frustrated young man who had to choose to fall due to various factors.
Whether it was due to instinctive intuition or due to rationality after careful investigation, he felt that the stranger in front of him was not an object in the pool.
As the saying goes, golden scales are not just objects in the pond, they can turn into real dragons when encountering wind and clouds.
Such a sentence is originally used to describe some special people.
Gu Qingyang didn't think that the drunk guy next to him would continue to sink.
Because behind the deep dejection in the other party's eyes, there were still two strong emotions of unwillingness and forbearance.
Although this man concealed his emotions very well with the help of alcohol, in front of Gu Qingyang, who had experienced eight thousand years of wind and frost.
He was still invisible.
Unfulfilled ambitions, this is how Gu Qingyang describes the young man beside him. This is also the reason why Gu Qingyang admires this young man.
In Gu Qingyang's view, being born into a humble family is not a shame, and being born into a wealthy family is indeed an inherent advantage.
However, whether one is born into a humble family or a wealthy family, people should live for themselves.
The people he looked down upon the most were only those who were truly depressed.
As long as a person still has the desire to live, things he wants to accomplish, and ambitions, then no matter how depressed he is, it will only be temporary.
Wasn't the person he used to be like the person next to him? He still remembered that he had this kind of dejection in the past.
However, he was only seven or eight years old at that time, and he didn't understand many things. At that time, he just wanted to end that kind of life.
At that time, he and Gu Qingying were having a very hard time. One thing he had to think about when he opened his eyes every day was how to survive today.
When his peers were living well and didn't need to worry about living at all, he could only think about "how to live."
The other children were holding all kinds of new gadgets in their hands, but his was Gu Qingying's hand.
When other children were constantly threatening their parents to death because of some trivial matter, he didn't even have the courage to die.
Because he knows that it doesn't matter if he dies.
If he dies, his sister will only suffer.
That was not the result he wanted, but until later, the girl passed away in what should have been the most brilliant year of her life.
Gu Qingyang remembered that day, and even more so, the feeling that he hated himself so much.
He vaguely remembered that the sun was shining brightly on the day she left, but he felt cold all over when he looked at her hand that could no longer be raised.
Since then, the feeling of depression has completely disappeared from his heart. It was replaced by a feeling of regret and guilt.
He hates, hates himself.
He hated that his arms were not strong enough, that his chest was not broad enough, and that he could not give her a warm home.
Until later, when he finally had the strength to protect her, she just stayed in his memory.
There is no need to say more about things in this life.
He had obviously tried his best in this life, but in the end, she still died. They achieved a different sense of never being separated.
But that was just a separation between life and death in the ordinary sense. If given the chance, he really wanted to say to his former self again that he should work harder.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as "if" in this world.
However, he had no chance, but the young man beside him seemed different.
He could see that this young man was less sad than he was at that time.
This difference may seem like nothing, but Gu Qingyang himself knows very well that this is the biggest difference between the two of them.
The lack of necessary sadness means that this young man has not experienced anything like that yet, which means that the opportunity is still there.
Soon, Gu Qingyang silently poured himself a third glass of wine. Then, he drank it all in one gulp under Liu Ziyin's shocked eyes.
Strange to say.
When he finished his second glass of wine, Gu Qingyang, who had so much bitter wine in his throat, did not feel the original bitter taste of the bitter wine.
When he finished the third glass of wine, Gu Qingyang felt that the wine was completely tasteless, but it was this glass that made him drunk.
However, at the same moment, Liu Ziyin's eyes suddenly turned red. In this moment of complete silence, he stopped drinking and muttered to himself.
"It's done, it's done, it's finally done -"
From the beginning to the end, Liu Ziyin kept repeating this sentence.
And when he said these words to the end, he also fell asleep like Gu Qingyang.
The difference is that Gu Qingyang falls asleep naturally. Although it is a bit inexplicable, Gu Qingyang's falling asleep seems to be quite natural.
But Liu Ziyin's falling asleep had a deliberate feeling, as if he had been waiting for a moment to fall asleep this time.
…
However, later on, Gu Qingyang clearly felt that he had had a very long dream.
And the content of that dream was not that bizarre. In that dream, he just experienced his life again.
From the joy of regaining something lost, to the courage to fight against the sky step by step, to the determination not to give up and bow to the sky.
in a dream.
On this road of life, even if he walked it over again, Gu Qingyang could not retain anything he cared about.
In the end, he still saw the death of Gu Qingying, met these people who came after him, and was swayed by the general trend.
He is obviously more like a loser.
But whether in this big dream or in reality, he was alive. And just like what he showed, he gritted his teeth and lived until the end.
"god."
"magic."
"Fan."
"road."
…
Gradually, Gu Qingyang felt that he seemed to have clearly seen the path he had chosen, and even more clearly his pursuit in this life.
In the beginning, he was indeed the most suitable person to follow the Shinto path, because at that time, he still had good intentions in his heart.
But the person he became later, or the person he is now, is definitely the most suitable person to embark on the path of magic and the purest form of magic cultivation.
Because he is still trapped by this chaotic and complicated world. Although he has never lost his original intention, he has long been unable to control himself.
And the so-called "Fan" can represent too many things. On the one hand, it represents Gu Qingyang's most pure and simple wish.
On the other hand, it also represents Gu Qingyang's original heart that does not want to change. But at the same time, it also represents Gu Qingyang's weakest side.
