Reverend Insanity

In the sky, cloudy clouds, spring rain lingering down.

The drizzle as fine as a cow's hair fell, covering the Qingmao Mountain with a thin layer of smoke.

The dining hall on the first floor of the inn was still deserted, with only four tables of guests.

Fang Yuan was sitting by the window, a gust of wind blew, mixed with poetic and floral fragrance.

"The light rain in Tianjie is as moist as crispy, and the grass looks close but there is nothing." Fang Yuan looked at the window and whispered softly, and then he retracted his gaze.

On the table in front of him are good wine and good food, full of color and flavor. Especially the green bamboo wine, the wine is mellow and fresh. The emerald green liquor is quietly placed in the bamboo cup, and from this angle, it has an amber-like luster.

The table closest to him is the grandparents. Dressed in plain clothes, they are all mortals.

The old man looked at Fang Yuan enviously while sipping the rice wine. Apparently, he was attracted by the fragrance of green bamboo wine, but he had no money to buy it.

The grandson was eating the marinated bean, biting it in his mouth with a rattling sound. At the same time, he pestered his grandfather, shaking the old man's arm: "Grandpa, grandpa, tell me the story of Renzu. If you don't tell it, I will go back and tell grandma that you came out to steal wine and drink!"

"Alas, it's not safe to eat a drink." The old man sighed, but there was a look of love on his face. He touched his grandson's head with his skinny hands, "Then I'll talk about it. In other words, that Ren Zu gave his heart to Hope Gu and got out of the predicament..."

The story of human ancestors is the most widely circulated and oldest legend in the world.

The old man's story goes something like this.

It is said that Ren Zu got out of the predicament because of hope. But after all, he has grown old, has no strength and wisdom, can no longer continue hunting, and even lost all his teeth, and many wild fruits and vegetables can no longer be chewed.

Human Ancestor has already felt that death is approaching.

At this time, Hope Gu told him: "Human, you can't die. If you die, your heart will be gone, and I hope you will lose your habitat."

Ren Zu was helpless: "Who wants to die, but heaven and earth want me to die, so I have to die."

Hope Gu said: "There is hope in everything. As long as you catch Longevity Gu, you can add a new lifespan."

Ren Zu had long heard about the existence of Longevity Gu, but he spread his hands helplessly: "When Longevity Gu is still, no one can detect it. When it flies, it is faster than light. How could I catch it? too difficult!"

Hope Gu told Ren Zu a secret: "Human, don't give up hope in everything. Let me tell you, just on the northwest corner of the earth, there is a big mountain. There is a hole on the top of the mountain, and in the hole live two Gus in a circle and a square. Worm. As long as you can subdue these two Gu worms, there is no Gu worm in the world that cannot be caught, even the longevity Gu!"

Ren Zu was desperate, and this was the only hope he had left.

He exhausted all his hardships and found this mountain. He took all the risks and climbed to the top of the mountain. At the entrance of the top of the mountain, with only the last bit of strength left, he stumbled in.

It was dark in the cave, and the five fingers could not be seen, Ren Zu walked and walked in the darkness. Sometimes bumping and bumping, I don't know what I bumped into, and I kowtowed to blood. Sometimes he felt that the darkness was vast and boundless, as if it was another world, with nothing around him except himself.

He spent a lot of time, but could not get out of this vast darkness. Not to mention subduing the two Gu worms on one side of the circle.

Just when he was lost, two voices came from the darkness.

One said, "Human, do you want to come and capture us too? Go back, even if you have Power Gu, it's impossible."

Another voice said: "Human, you go away, we won't take your life. Even if you have Wisdom Gu help, you may not be able to find us."

Ren Zu fell to the ground weakly, panting: "Strength Gu and Wisdom Gu have long since left me,

I've run out of longevity, and I'm desperate. But as long as there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, I will not give up! "

Hearing Ren Zu's words, the two voices fell silent.

After a while, he said, "I understand, man, you have already given your heart to Hope Gu. You will never give up on anything."

Another voice continued: "In that case, we will give you a chance. As long as you name the two of us, we will use it for you."

Ren Zu was stunned for a while, trying to call out two accurate names from the sea of ​​words was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, he didn't even know how many characters were in the names of these two Gus.

Ren Zu hurriedly asked Hope Gu, but Hope Gu didn't know either.

Ren Zu had no other way out, so he had to bite the bullet and say his name. He said a lot of names, and it took a long, long time, but there was no response in the dark, obviously they were wrong.

Gradually, Ren Zu's breath became weaker and weaker. In this cave, he went from old age to old age. It was like the sunset in the evening, gradually descending, and half of it had fallen to the horizon, becoming a sunset.

The food he brought with him was getting less and less, his mind was getting slower and slower, and there was not much strength to speak.

The voice in the dark persuaded: "Human, you are dying, let's let you go. Take advantage of your last time, you can climb outside the cave and have a last look at the world. But you offended us, as punishment, Just leave Hope Gu here as our companion."

Ren Zu tightly covered his heart and categorically refused: "Even if I die, I will not give up hope!"

Hope Gu was very moved and tried his best to respond to Ren Zu, emitting a pure white brilliance. A little white light appeared in Ren Zu's heart.

But this white light is too weak to illuminate the darkness at all, and even Ren Zu's whole body cannot be taken care of, only the chest is illuminated.

Ren Zu felt an invisible new energy pouring into his body from Hope Gu.

He continued to speak and name. He was old and confused. He had said many names before, but he couldn't remember them clearly, and he said it again, wasting a lot of effort.

Life goes by with time, and there is not much life left for the ancestors.

Finally, when he had only one day left to live, he uttered the word "moment".

A sigh came from the darkness, and a voice said: "Man, I admire your persistence. You said my name, and from today, I will obey your orders. But I am only with my brother. , can catch all the Gu worms in the world for you. Otherwise, relying on my Gu ability alone will not work. So you give up, you are already dying, it is better to use this world and take a last look at this world."

Ren Zu shook his head firmly, he seized all the time and continued to speak, guessing the name of another Gu worm.

Time passed by, and he only had the last hour left.

But at this moment, he accidentally said the word "rule".

In an instant, the darkness disappeared.

Two Gu appeared in front of him. As Hope Gu said, a Gu is a square, called "moment". A Gu is round and is called a "rule". Together, they are "rules".

The two Gu said together: "No matter who it is, as long as he knows our name, we will obey him. Man, since you already know our name, we will use it for you. But you have to remember, It's better not to let other creatures know our names. The more we know our names, the more we must surrender them at the same time. Now, you are the first to surrender us, so say what you want."

Ren Zu was overjoyed: "Then I will order you to catch me a longevity Gu first."

The two Gus joined forces to capture an eighty-year-old lifespan Gu.

Ren Zu was already 100 years old. After eating this longevity Gu, all the wrinkles on his face were instantly eliminated, the skinny limbs were filled with toned muscles, and the breath of youth was exuded again.

He kicked a carp and jumped up.

He looked at his body with joy, knowing that he had become a 20-year-old again!

...

"That's all for today, go home, dear grandson." After the old man finished the story, he finished his wine.

"Grandpa, let's keep talking, what happened to Ren Zu later?" The grandson refused to obey, shaking the old man's arm.

"Let's go, I'll talk about it when I have time." The old man put on a bamboo hat and a hood, and put on a small one for his grandson.

The grandparents and grandchildren left the inn, stepped into the rain curtain, and walked away.

"Rules..." Fang Yuan's eyes were dim, turning the wine glass, staring at the green bamboo wine in the glass, feeling quite emotional.

The legend of human ancestors is widely circulated in this world, and there are almost no people who do not know it. Fang Yuan has naturally heard of it for a long time.

But whether it is a legend or a story, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. The grandparents and grandsons just regarded it as a story, but Fang Yuan could taste the deep meaning contained in it.

Just like the ancestor.

When he didn't know the rules, he groped in the dark. Sometimes I stumbled and bumped and bumped, making my head bleed and embarrassed. Sometimes, it is a vast expanse, lost in confusion, without direction and goal.

This darkness is not pure darkness or darkness. Strength, wisdom and hope cannot restrain it.

Only when Ren Zu knew the "rules" and broke the name of the rules, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and Ren Zu ushered in light.

Darkness is the darkness of the rules, and this light is the light of the rules.

Fang Yuan moved his gaze away from the wine glass and looked out the window.

I saw far away outside the window, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, the green hills were green, and the drizzle was like fog. Nearby, the tall bamboo buildings stretched out one after another. There were two or three pedestrians on the road, their feet smeared with rain and mud. They were either wearing gray-green scallops or butter cloth umbrellas.

Fang Yuan summed up in his heart: "This world is like a big chessboard. All living beings are chess pieces and move according to their own rules. There are rules for the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter cycle in sequence. There are rules, so go up. People naturally have rules."

"Everyone has their own position, desires and principles. Take Gu Yue Shanzhai as an example, the slave's life is cheap, and the master's life is more expensive, this is the rule. Therefore, Shen Cui wanted to cling to the powerful, and she tried her best to break away from slavery. Gao The bowl does everything possible to please the master, and the dog uses the power of the people."

"As for my uncles and aunts, they are greedy and want to annex their parents' inheritance. The elders of the school are mainly to cultivate Gu Masters and maintain their own position in the school."

"Everyone has its own rules, every industry has its own rules, and every social group has its own rules. As long as you understand the rules, you can be on the sidelines. Go to the dark and get the light, and deal with it. , and at ease.”

Fang Yuan thought about his own situation again, and he had already planned a strategy in his heart: "For Gu Yue Mochen, the person in charge of the Mo family, it is to maintain the prosperity and interests of the family. It is already breaking the rules for Moyan to trouble me, in order to protect the family's reputation. , he will definitely not do anything to me. He may even take the initiative to compensate me. "

"Actually, the Mo family is very powerful, and because of his reputation, he wants to punish me, but I can't resist. But Gu Yue Mochen is afraid. He is not afraid of breaking the rules, but worried that others will follow him. It also began to break the rules. If the elders intervene in the fight between the younger generations, the situation will expand. If it affects the high-level, it will be a huge threat to the entire cottage. Gu Yue Mochen is worried that if there is a fight in the future, there will be other people who will take care of his grandson Gu Yue. Mo Bei started. His line, this man, what if he dies? Maybe he doesn't even know this kind of fear. He just subconsciously wants to maintain the rules."

Fang Yuan's eyes were clear, and he had been watching this matter from the beginning to the end.

Gao Wan was not named Gu Yue, he was an outsider, he was a servant.

The master executes a slave, what does it matter. In this world, it is normal.

Fang Yuan killed Gao Wan. Gao Wan's death is not the key, the key lies in his master, the Mo family behind him.

"However, I have sent a box of broken corpses this time, and it is estimated that Gu Yue Mochen will interpret it as a compromise and a threat. This is exactly what I want him to understand. No accident, the Mo family will not pursue it. Gao Wan is dead. Of course, if my qualifications are higher, and I am a second-class, the Mo family will feel threatened, and because of the damage to their reputation, they will also suppress me as a future threat." Fang Yuan sneered in his heart.

The strong can be relied on, and the weak can also be used.

Although Fang Yuan was in the game at this time, he was also a pawn. But he knows the rules in his heart, and he already has the heart of a chess player.

Ordinary people, most of them are just like Gu Yue Mochen or academy elders, and they only know their own rules, and they are like mountains. Like Fang Yuan, it is very difficult to see the overall situation and master the rules!

If you want to know the rules, you have to be like the ancestors, scrambling in the dark, wandering in confusion.

At this time, strength, wisdom and hope are not very useful. You have to spend time and experience it yourself in order to gain experience.

Ren Zu was able to tell the name of the two Gus that broke the rules. It took time and tried countless times under the aura of death.

Fang Yuan can be proficient in the rules, which is also the experience accumulated in his previous life for five hundred years.

Since his rebirth, he is confident that he can create a brilliant future. It's not because of the reappearance of Spring Autumn Cicada, not because he knows many treasures in the secret realm, nor because he has grasped the general trend of the future.

It is the life experience of living in the world in the past five hundred years.

Just like Ren Zu mastered the two rules, he could easily capture all the worms in the world!

And Fang Yuan is proficient in the rules and regulations, so he can be condescending, and his eyes can penetrate the complicated world. Or rip off the cocoon, or hit the nail on the head. I pride myself on being arrogant and look down upon the people in the world like chess pieces, following their own rules and proceeding step by step.

Darkness is the darkness of the rules, and light is the light of the rules.

And the reborn devil has walked in the light.
