The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1283 Existence
Cang Gou smiled and nodded.

Everyone was shocked, but Gao Yang was calm.

When he first met Cang Gou, he guessed the possibility that Xiao Tian was also a projection.

After Xiaotian died, Chen Ying directly understood level 6 [Perception], which was not a conventional understanding.

This at least shows one thing: the energy in Xiaotian's body is special and was directly transferred to Chen Ying. Gao Yang had investigated this matter at first, but nothing happened.

Now he knows that Cang Gou is the projection of the "master behind the door" and has special energy in his body that can delay Bai Lu's curse.

Connecting the two, it is not difficult to guess that Cang Gou and Xiao Tian have the same origin.

Everyone quickly figured this out and slowly calmed down.

Except for Chen Ying, she didn't care at all and hugged Xiaotian tightly, "Xiaotian, I'm sorry... It's my sister who didn't protect you. I'm sorry for you..."

"Sister is right, don't blame yourself." Xiaotian also had tears in his eyes: "Sister is still alive, which is more important than anything else."

"Xiaotian." Chen Ying let go of Xiaotian, held his face, and looked at him again and again, "You are still alive, right?"

Xiaotian shook his head sadly: "Sister, like Brother Canggou, I am his projection, although I didn't know this when I was in the misty world..."

"You are no one's projection!" Chen Ying yelled.

Xiaotian looked at Chen Ying.

"You are Xiaotian! You are my family! I want to take you home!" Chen Ying grabbed Xiaotian's hand, but she couldn't hold him at all.

Chen Ying hugged Xiaotian and wanted to pick him up.

It’s no use, the gentle and well-behaved little boy stands quietly, but he weighs a thousand pounds.

"Ah...ah..." Chen Ying gritted her teeth and tried all her strength, almost straining all the muscles and ligaments in her body, but it was all in vain.

Xiaotian raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Chen Ying's face: "Sister, I am not dead, because I was never born, and I always belong here."

"No...no..." Chen Ying shook her head desperately and burst into tears.

"Sister, don't be sad, don't blame yourself, I'm happy every day with you..."

Chen Ying hugged Xiaotian tightly again, "Since you belong here, I will stay too. Xiaotian, sister will stay with you, and sister will never leave you again..."

"No." Xiaotian gently but firmly broke away from Chen Ying's arms, "I'm just a projection, not Xiaotian."

"No... you are Xiaotian... you are my Xiaotian..." Chen Ying burst into tears and reached out to hug him.

Xiaotian took half a step back, and his movement was like a dagger, piercing Chen Ying's chest.

She was stunned: "Why...what..."

"Sister, jump up." Xiaotian said.

Chen Ying only had confusion in her eyes.

"Sister, jump up." Xiaotian repeated.

A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Ying's eyes.

"Sister, jump up." Xiaotian begged.

There was only deep sadness left in Chen Ying's eyes.

She stood up slowly, took a deep breath, jumped slightly, and looked at Xiaotian.

Three seconds later, Chen Ying landed on the ground and knelt down again.

She was not afraid at all, but she accepted the irreversible and unchangeable fact.

She looked at Xiaotian in front of her tenderly and sadly, tears flowing calmly:
"I originally had nothing and didn't feel pitiful. But God took pity on me and gave me candies one after another. I was very happy and content, but God took away the candies one after another... …”

"Why did He do this? Is it just to make me realize my pity... What on earth did I do wrong... God wants to do this to me..."

"elder sister."

Xiaotian shook his head: "You will feel sad, not because you are wrong, nor because God wants to punish you."

"That's...then why..." Chen Ying was as helpless as a child at the moment.

"Because these are part of happiness." Xiaotian said. Chen Ying was stunned and looked up at Xiaotian.

"Sister." Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Ying's heart: "The real Xiaotian is here. No one can take it away, not even God."

Xiaotian smiled and looked at the people behind Chen Ying, "Brothers and sisters, goodbye."

"Xiao Tian!"

Chen Ying yelled and rushed forward, but the attack was in vain, and Xiaotian disappeared.

"Wow!"

The cute sheep couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran into Tengu's arms and cried loudly. The tengu took off the headphones and put them on the cute sheep.

Everyone stood in the melancholy desert, surrounded by a lonely light, at a loss.

Chen Ying got up from the sand, sat down where Xiaotian had sat, put her hands on the table that Xiaotian had touched, and closed her eyes.

A long silence.

Finally, Chen Ying opened her eyes. The sadness in her body was like a receding tide, leaving only the moist and quiet beach.

Chen Ying raised her head and looked at Cang Gou: "Cang Gou, I know what the problem is. Xiaotian told me."

"I'm all ears." Cang Gou said.

Chen Ying lowered her head and looked at the dining table again, "The ocean represents life, that's true, but the desert does not represent death, it represents other forms of life."

"Life has countless forms, the ocean is one kind, the desert is another; you and Xiaotian have one form when you leave the city, and you have another form when you come back here. Human beings are limited and can only understand and perceive things related to The same life form as itself.”

Everyone was thoughtful.

"All life forms must be summed up in one word. What comes to mind is..." Chen Ying paused, her eyes bright: "Existence."

"The problem with this room is existence."

This time, no one raised any objections and no one praised it.

It seems that what everyone is facing is the best answer given by the teacher, and you only need to listen carefully to the end.

"As for the answer, someone has told me a long time ago." Chen Ying smiled softly, that smile was sad and tough, and she gently touched the dining table with her hand:
"Here you go, a girl who likes to wear toenail polish."

Everyone was sad.

The horse was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

When someone he loved was mentioned, he felt no sadness, only pride.

After a few seconds, Chen Ying looked at everyone: "The answer is acceptance."

Everyone was thoughtful.

Chen Ying stood up and further said: "There are countless existences in this world. As a part of existence, we can only accept it. Accept the birth and death of existence; accept the limitation and impermanence of existence; accept the reincarnation and eternity of existence...other than that There is no other way.”

Cang Gou was smiling and noncommittal.

"Do you accept it..." Zhang Wei felt a little sad, "I always feel so pessimistic."

"Not pessimistic." Suzaku said.

"Not optimistic either." The horse said.

"What's that?" Zhang Wei didn't understand.

"Philosophical." Gregor expressed his opinion: "Perhaps, 'acceptance' is the real strength."

"So that's it!" After realizing something, he smiled bitterly:
"When I knew the end of the world was coming, I always thought that I couldn't accept death and that's why I persisted until now. In fact, that's not true. It was precisely because I accepted that I would die that I persisted until now. Otherwise, I would have given up on myself or would have given up on myself. crazy."

Zhang Wei recalled his experiences along the way and was suddenly enlightened: "It's true! It turns out that I have accepted it a long time ago!"

Zhang Wei shouted at Cang Gou: "Yes! This is our answer! We accept death! We have nothing to fear! Call your master to come out and die!"

Wang Zikai on the side nodded with satisfaction: Yes, you finally have one-tenth of my brother's style.

Cang Gou put on his mask again and became polite and distant again: "Everyone, please follow me to the last room."
