Chapter 179 Drawing the sword and being unable to turn back
The stone door of the cave opened, letting in a little light.
Compared with the afternoon, the sunlight at this time is a bit darker, not dazzling, and very soft.
When the young man walked out of the cave, he subconsciously raised his hand, looking slightly dazed.
The witch must have indeed left.
Just thinking of the soft feeling during the kiss made Chen An feel a little silent for a moment.
I don't know since when, his attitude gradually became less resistant.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no affection at all between you and the girl in the red dress.
Some are just for practice.
Just like what the other party said personally, she only came to him because she wanted to help her practice.
That's it.
They also didn’t do too much.
The so-called lack of physical strength is indeed because the cultivation level cannot keep up with the opponent's progress, so it is easy to be drained if you are not careful.
Rather than some disguised movement.
Even his master made it clear that the matter was beneficial and harmless.
But this is not the ending Chen An wanted.
But things in the world are like chess, and now he is just a pawn used by the big shots to promote the process. There is no other way but to let it go.
It's not like he hasn't tried to resist.
It’s just that if you just resist in everything, it will definitely be effective, and I think there won’t be so many regrets in the world.
Maybe he is destined to have a bright future in the future, but now, after all, he is just a low-level monk who has not even completed foundation building.
The sect gave him shelter and resources.
Correspondingly, when Master Daoxuan stood by and watched, Chen An really couldn't find any reason to blame.
It's like your parents force you to do something you don't like for your own good.
Of course you can protest, but will your parents stop?
Maybe, maybe not.
He had no choice but to passively endure it.
The mountain wind blew, blowing the young man's plain clothes.
He stood and looked into the distance quietly.
Chen An thought that in this life, his requirements were actually very simple.
Young people don’t have any lofty ambitions or dreams.
He just wants to have a certain amount of capital to settle down, and then take Sanniang to find a paradise, and from then on, he will not care about worldly affairs and focus on having fun.
As for the Roush subsystem, the Roush subtask.
It had all been lost a long time ago.
Anyway, the system has not bubbled up, so Chen An can just pretend that this is not the case.
Even if the system suddenly cheated, I'm afraid Chen An would only say, "Don't get involved, I'm not familiar with it."
……
The daylight in summer always lasts longer than other times.
When Chen An slowly arrived at the outer door, there was still a dim light hanging on the horizon.
He followed the path leading from small to large, and could already see the small house in the distance.
The boy's pace slowed down a bit.
Because the wooden door of the house was still closed as when he left before, there was no sign that anyone had returned.
Walking closer, Chen An pushed the door open and entered.
The furnishings inside are simple and clear, but there is no figure of the person I expected to see.
He frowned and looked up at the increasingly darker sky, feeling inexplicably heavy.
Even though he knew that nothing should happen to the girl, he still couldn't help but worry.
Chen An didn't realize that he was too sensitive. He thought that if he suddenly disappeared, Mu Sanniang would probably run away on the spot.
He was thinking wildly and began to walk around the house.
Chen An is familiar with every detail in the house.
For example, the wooden basin placed under the cabinet was what he often used to wash his sister's feet.
I don’t know why, but Mu Sanniang seems to be particularly persistent in asking him to help her wash her feet.
In addition, Chen An didn't care and didn't think washing her sister's feet would harm her face, so this matter gradually developed into a habit between the two of them.
Is it a symbol of the warmth between siblings?
Seeing the wooden basin, Chen An couldn't help but think of Mu Sanniang's white and tender bare feet.
It's small, smooth and delicate, and feels great in the hand, like a clear spring water. People can't help but want to reach out and pick it up, and look at it carefully.
Inexplicably, Chen An suddenly thought of another girl in a red dress who liked to run around barefoot.
Comparing the two, the other one looks much slender.
It has a light and soft feeling, like a quietly blooming lotus, which makes people want to put it in their arms and play with it.
<divclass="contentadv">Wait.
The boy woke up suddenly and patted his face gently.
What the hell was I thinking about?
Thinking about it, the witch is quite normal. After all, the relationship between the two is indeed ambiguous, and they just met her not long ago.
But Mu Sanniang is her sister!
Chen An was a little ashamed.
But he quickly shook his head, feeling that he must have been led astray by them when he was a child. Who allowed them to run around naked and barefoot in front of him all day long...
It's obvious that he's not good at foot control, okay...
The young man comforted himself in this way, then coughed guiltily and looked away from the wooden basin.
He took a step forward and opened the cabinet door.
At first, he just did it casually, but after seeing the things in the cabinet, Chen An looked startled.
There were no clothes in the cupboard, let alone anything else.
It was vial after vial.
Not all are the same model and come in different colors.
However, they are all neatly sorted by the owner, and each one is placed intact. It can be seen that the owner values them.
There was no dust on the bottle. It was obviously taken care of regularly.
Chen An stared at it blankly for a while, then closed it quietly.
He then looked around and saw nothing else worth mentioning.
So the young man took steps, walked to the bed, got on the bed and lay down.
The soft cotton quilt exudes a light fragrance.
Chen An was familiar with this scent.
Often when you put your cheek against your sister's skin, the fragrance will become slightly stronger.
It smells good and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
So the young man just lay there, not meditating, but completely letting go of his body and mind.
He actually fell asleep like this.
The sky was getting dark, and the evening wind blew the window lattice, making a subtle popping sound.
I don’t know how long it took before a slender figure came walking in the moonlight.
When she saw the open door, she subconsciously paused.
Then, the girl's steps were much slower and she walked in silently.
She came all the way to the bed and saw the boy sleeping peacefully on the bed.
The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the young man's clear brows.
It is a handsome face that is not inferior to anyone else.
Mu Sanniang didn't make a sound, she stood quietly and watched for a long time.
In the afternoon by the stream, those old words seemed to still echo in my ears.
"There is someone you want to protect throughout your life, right?"
Mu Sanniang could have turned around and left long ago, but these words hit her heart with precision.
After standing by the stream for a long time, the girl finally made her way down bit by bit until the stream water covered her whole body.
It's obviously just a creek that looks like it's bottomed out, but why is it so deep?
The girl didn't think about this.
She just stared blankly at the bottom of the stream.
There, there was a thin black knife stuck in it.
The blade is like ink, a darkness that seems to be able to swallow everything.
There is no light or texture at all.
It looks like an ordinary knife, but with a strange shape.
She grasped the hilt of the knife.
In my mind, that old voice came again.
However, there was still a trace of excitement in the voice that could not be suppressed.
"Have you thought about it?"
"You can't turn back when you draw a sword, just like you can't change the ending."
The girl was speechless.
Just draw the knife.
