The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping
Chapter 667: Later Life (1/2)
"Is this the talisman that can easily dominate the lives of many people?" Mei Yun, who has returned to his body, observed this talisman that was completely carved from black jade with his naked eyes for the first time when he was alive. He stared at the talisman placed in front of him and Jiang Xuanbai, and the emotion in his eyes could not tell whether it was fear or joy.
On the desk in front of Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai, on the smooth table made of white maple wood, a thin and transparent black jade rune was quietly placed. Although the color of the black jade was relatively deep, it was still crystal clear. On the contrary, because of the black color, it looked low-key, luxurious, mysterious, and attracted people's attention.
Moreover, the black jade material used to make this talisman was far superior to all the black jade on the earth. It was not an ordinary product at all. This made this talisman more exquisite and beautiful like a work of art, making people feel that it was very valuable for collection and an extraordinary work of art. No one would have thought that this piece of art that looked like a shining work of art would be a murderous weapon.
However, this talisman that looks delicate, thin, and mysterious is indeed a murderous weapon. It looks harmless, even delicate, beautiful, and precious, but this talisman made of black jade may have killed a thousand, ten thousand, or even more people under its silent spell.
The black jade talisman was originally engraved with mysterious runes, and now, on the surface of this jade talisman, there is a layer of slightly sharp power attached. These powers are attached to the surface of the black jade, showing strange white patterns.
To Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai, these white powers condensed into patterns that looked like paintings. However, in fact, they were the words left on this spell talisman before Xuanyuan left. It was written with the people that Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai agreed to eliminate after a dispute and discussion, as well as the duration of this talisman.
The words written on this talisman are popular in the world of cultivation. They are only circulated and used among cultivators. Even if ordinary people living in Xuanyuan's world of cultivation can be taught, they can't recognize many of them, because these words are too complicated. Basically, one word is a picture, complicated and profound, and mysterious. Except for cultivators with strong souls, no one can use these words handily because it is a great test of memory.
"Yes, this is the talisman he left behind. Anyone who meets the conditions we specified will be enveloped by the magical power of this talisman and killed silently by the curse." Jiang Xuanbai answered calmly. He completely believed Xuanyuan's words and had no doubt about the ability of this talisman.
But Mei Yun was a little skeptical. It was not that he did not trust Xuanyuan, but that he was not confident in the standards set by himself and Jiang Xuanbai. He could not help but look at Jiang Xuanbai and asked hesitantly: "Are the standards we set really correct? Can using this talisman to curse and kill people who meet the conditions really help save the earth?"
The biggest difference between Jiang Xuanbai and Mei Yun is that the reason why Mei Yun worked so hard and struggled is because he really has a deep attachment to many people and people, and he wants to save them from the bottom of his heart, while Jiang Xuanbai has only a few such feelings. His biggest goal is just to keep himself alive. Maybe it is selfish, but this is his truest emotion.
"Just give it a try and you'll know." Jiang Xuanbai's tone was calm. He said lightly, "Didn't you say that there is still some time before the world begins to be alerted by desertification? We still have some time to prepare, and at the same time we can test whether our approach is useful. I always think that doing something is better than doing nothing."
Mei Yun always felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know why he was uneasy, nor did he know how to appease this uneasiness. He could only sigh softly and prepare to take one step at a time, develop slowly first, and then vigorously reform when he had more say. For now, they can't do anything.
Facing the impending doomsday in the future, he and Jiang Xuanbai are too insignificant. They have no power and are even just students. Even if they say that the doomsday will come, no one will believe it. They will either be considered sensational or think he is crazy. It's useless to tell these future things. No one will believe it, and not many people will change accordingly.
At this time, Jiang Xuanbai's second uncle's family had been sentenced, either to jail for several years or to a juvenile correctional institution. Jiang Xuanbai's second uncle had a son, who was 17 years old this year and in the second year of high school. He often insulted Jiang Xuanbai and beat Jiang Xuanbai several times relying on his strong body. He also knew about the plan to kill Jiang Xuanbai to earn insurance money and participated in the plan.
Jiang Xuanbai was almost 18 years old and took back the inheritance left by his parents. Although he had no family and was alone now, he had a free and open future. He no longer had to be restricted by others and no longer had to be trampled on by others. Although he was worried about the end of the world, he knew that he could not get involved now. Apart from spreading some rumors about protecting the environment and the coming of the end of the world on the Internet, his life was very dull.
Going to school, practicing supernatural powers, and filling in volunteers. College entrance examination, this is Jiang Xuanbai's calm but sufficient life now, which made him feel very satisfied. His life trajectory finally got rid of pain and sadness, and he had vitality and energy, full of striving and prospects. Jiang Xuanbai is very satisfied with this kind of life, and he is living a good life now - although the doomsday has always been like a big rock pressing on his head.
But Mei Yun's life was not as easy as his. On the contrary, she was in dire straits. Even if Jiang Xuanbai solved his second uncle's family, he would still be a high school student with useless abilities who was not taken seriously. He could just study step by step, but Mei Yun could not do that. He had just had his abilities retested and he had to work hard to practice. Only in this way can one's own superpowers not reveal any flaws.
So now he is working hard every day to practice his powers, wishing he could eat and live in the police station. He doesn't want to be an intern anymore, he wants to be full-time! He must devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of interrogating prisoners.
...Of course, this nonsensical idea was slapped away by the teacher and Director Zhang. He is only 16 years old. Studying is the most important thing. Does he want to work full-time? Let’s wait until we finish reading the book. However, even if Mei Yun finishes college, the chance of continuing to work in the police station is not high. Even if he is willing to do so by then, it is still a question. After all, at that time... the earth was almost there.
In order to improve his supernatural power, Mei Yun had to take a different approach. Previously, they negotiated with Xuan Yuan and said that there was a way to change his supernatural power. This was not false. Inspired by Jiang Xuanbai, Mei Yun did think of something that might be useful, which was the meteorite that fell to the earth during the meteor shower in the millennium.
The emergence of superpowers is closely related to that meteor shower. Maybe those meteorites will change Mei Yun's superpowers. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Mei Yun plans to give it a try. Whether it is for his current evaluation in school or internship unit, or for the further steps of the end, he must continue to work hard and grow stronger. Own.
In this way, before the theory of the coming doomsday was really noticed, Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai lived their lives peacefully. They would work hard to publicize the coming doomsday, and they would also work hard to change themselves. Strong, and that black jade talisman, there is no doubt that although it seems to have done nothing, many people on the earth have begun to die silently.
This is the starting point for them to start changing the world. However, who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai are full of confidence now, or maybe they are smug and full of hope. However, in the future, no one knows whether they will regret their past actions and their setting of spell standards.
Forty years later.
"I didn't expect that you would die earlier than me." Jiang Xuanbai sat on the chair next to the bed, looking down at Mei Yun, who was already dying, but her face was glowing red. It was obvious that she was coming back to life. His eyes couldn't tell. Complex, couldn't help but sigh, "Do you regret what you did?"
Although Mei Yun is over 50 years old, he was still very healthy a month ago. The reason why he ended up in this dying state in just one month was certainly not due to natural causes. In fact, the reason why Mei Yun died was because he violated the rules and precepts set on the ink jade talisman. He was cursed by the talisman.
Mei Yun smiled slightly, with a calm and open-minded smile on his face that was stained by time: "I never regret it, even though I know that from the moment I start vigorously developing and exploiting the earth's resources, I will definitely die, and I will die in the surrounding area. It’s under the commandments I made with you ten years ago, but even so, I don’t regret it.”
Jiang Xuanbai sighed, not knowing what kind of complicated emotions were in his heart. He and Mei Yun have known each other for forty years. Maybe they didn't have a good relationship at first. However, they share a common secret and are the only two people who know the existence of the black jade charm. Over the years, they have become very close friends. Seeing Mei Yun go from being energetic to dying in just one month, Jiang Xuanbai was really sad.
Forty years have passed. Perhaps their measures back then were indeed effective. Although desertification areas now account for nearly half of the world, at least half of the earth is still intact to allow all living things to survive. This is also because there were not many People who over-exploited resources were cursed to death, and industries that destroyed the environment came to a standstill, but they did not continue to destroy the environment.
As more and more people call for environmental protection over the years, more and more people are practicing it. The situation of the earth is getting better. Although we don’t know when the earth will return to its former beautiful appearance, There will be a day in the future.
However, the earth is getting better and better, and she has made great contributions to protecting and saving the earth. Mei Yun, who has been fighting on the front line so far, is about to die. Jiang Xuanbai still can't understand why Mei Yun did this. Unlike those who died inexplicably, he knew from the beginning that he would die if he did so.
"During global desertification, the population decreased significantly. But in recent years, the global population has slowly increased. The original domestic resources are no longer enough to feed newborn babies. If resources are not exploited, people will die. If they are exploited, only Kill me." Mei Yun, who is already the top person in charge of Huaguo, said in a calm tone that could see through everything.
He really does not regret implementing the resource mining policy in Flower Country again after so many years. He knows that he will die, and such behavior will also cause certain damage to the environment - no matter how much he orders, the mining behavior will be carried out in the future. The main thing is to protect the environment. Taking out resources itself is also harmful to the earth.
But he has no choice. If he doesn't mine, Huaguo won't be able to support so many people, people will die, riots will occur, chaos will occur, and more and more people will die. Mei Yun knew that he was selfish, but even if it meant harming the earth a little, he couldn't just watch hundreds of thousands and millions of innocent babies starve to death as soon as they were born.
Mei Yun raised his hand and held Jiang Xuanbai's hand tightly. Looking back, he left the last words: "This is my choice, and I don't regret it. However, after I die, you must keep a close eye on me in secret." Regarding this matter, if resource extraction will cause greater harm to the earth, stop it immediately!”
"...Okay, I promise you." Jiang Xuanbai gently put his right hand on Mei Yun and held his left hand, which was already weak. Jiang Xuanbai whispered to Mei Yun, who was no longer alive, and promised him the last ask.
Although he is the top leader of the Flower Kingdom, Mei Yun's room is very poorly decorated. At this time, there were only two of them in the room. Jiang Xuanbai held his hand that was getting colder and whispered: "Mei Yun, I'm with you. You have never been the same. You want to save the earth, but you actually want to save humans and all living things on the earth. You are attached to the human world, and in order to save humans, you are willing to do things that destroy the earth’s environment.”
"But I'm different. I want to save the world just to save myself, and also save the planet. I will never be like you, risking my life to save some innocent people who have no connection at all and don't know who they are. To destroy the earth’s ecology.”
Jiang Xuanbai suddenly sneered in a low voice, with unspeakable disdain and contempt, as if he also had some inexplicable dissatisfaction with Mei Yun: "Maybe this is why, you are the top leader of the Flower Kingdom, and The reason why I am just a savior who was offered up is also why..."
"The reason you died and I'm still alive and will continue to live."
Jiang Xuanbai would never destroy the planet beneath his feet for irrelevant people, not at all. From beginning to end, he has been alone, selfish and cruel, but he will live longer than Mei Yun, who loves the world. He does not have Mei Yun's lofty ambitions and aspirations. He is very self-aware and just wants to live well from the beginning. That’s all.
The biggest difference between Mei Yun and Jiang Xuanbai is that the pain Mei Yun suffered in the early years came from luck and the trick of fate, while the torture and trampling Jiang Xuanbai suffered came from humans and society. These are the two of them. Although they are good friends, they still cannot understand the reasons for each other's political stances.
"Under the Nine Springs, just watch carefully. I will protect this planet. No one can destroy it, because this is the mother of our life." Jiang Xuanbai laughed, and without Mei Yun, protect the earth. The environmental bill will go forward more smoothly.
As for giving up the exploitation of resources, how many people will die without the advancement brought by modern industrial products? Oh, hundreds of years ago there were no such technological and industrial products, and we did not see the extinction of human beings.
