The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

'I know Him, but I know you better, brother. '

'You are too stuck on those trivial things and cannot see the overall situation. This was true 20 years ago, but now... you still haven't changed at all. '

'Of course you don't have to be stuck in the quagmire between old age and severe inflammation, but what about me?Where are my siblings? '

'You are not human after all, and those people have never regarded you as one of them. '

'The heroes of Yumen City can be heroes from a rough background, or they can be immortals with outstanding talents, but they cannot be the incarnation of giant beasts. '

'The comrades who have fought with you for decades do not trust you, and the court that you have taught countless talents is still afraid of you. You will even turn into dust in a few hundred years... Of course, maybe for those of us who don't have much time. It's barely a good deal for the pieces. '

'But even if I had learned your method from you, I would never adopt it. '

'If even I can separate myself from the fragments, maybe Ling can still try to break the shackles, but what about the more immature younger brothers and sisters? '

'If even I cut off my connection with Him, then how can I meet [Jie] again, my sister who has disappeared? '

'While I was bound in prison, I played chess with myself all day and all night, thinking about ways to break the game all the time... Finally, I realized it. '

'The answer to this question is actually very simple...'

'Isn't that what I am now? '

……

I actually know that among my brothers and sisters, I am actually the least lovable one.

Although we had a period of chaos and disorder since our birth, we soon became bored with this endless battle.

Who can win if the left hand beats the right hand?How can plundering oneself change the total amount?

So we began to try some simpler and more interesting ways to deal with our disputes, such as "games" learned from those mortals.

Oh, I still remember that I won the most games in rock, paper, scissors.

After all, with a little bit of care, it's easy to figure out their habits.

After [Jie] gave each of us a name, we called ourselves brothers and sisters, but in fact, we were not really as close as brothers and sisters.

Some people have not let go of their original grudges, some people have differences in their treatment of Dayan, and some people feel the humiliation of Sui... If my eldest brother and I hadn't been dealing with it, I have no doubt that Dayan would have died again. It takes a few old guys to soften our mutual conquests.

At that time, this land was not as prosperous as it is now, and the heaven and earth were like cauldrons. But we only felt torture, but we didn’t know that we were in the cauldron, so we could not avoid being enemies with each other... It was a meaningless fight. I forgot how long it lasted. Everyone was either running or sleeping. , the remaining one who was awake was finally Qi Qiran, who was confused.

How you find the answers to your questions depends on the individual.

Painting, playing chess, planting crops, forging swords, and composing poems, they don't interfere with each other and enjoy themselves. The answer lies in their own fun.

That kind of fighting with each other is naturally meaningless to us, but even if we are only one-twelfth of the giant, we can easily destroy houses, fields, and their fragile lives with just a few moves.

Even if this is not our intention.

……

But I don't seem to be liked by my younger brothers and sisters.

Except for [Shuo], [Ling], and [Jie] who are willing to play with me, the other brothers and sisters will start to look for my clone in a panic as soon as they see the weapon contaminated by my aura, and they will even go to find it. As the eldest brother, [Shuo] complained.

Of course I know why, I like to scare them, watch them tremble in front of their own demons, watch them panic in front of my carefully disguised appearance... This is really interesting.

I really like playing games with my younger siblings, but it’s a pity that they don’t appreciate it, and my elder brother doesn’t understand either.

But does he have to be like the eldest brother who is always nagging and trying to extend his own code of conduct to his younger siblings to be considered an elder brother?

Isn’t inviting them to play games a good way to enhance feelings?

Alas, but there is no need for me to be hot on my face and ask for trouble.

Since they are tired of me as the second brother... then I should stop looking for them.

Anyway, recently, I still have some interest in Go.

……

I'm actually not a very good chess player.

I am a slow learner of chess. A few hundred years ago, I could lose hundreds or thousands of games in a few minutes.Later, within a period of one month, I lost less, and after another period of time, I only lost about a hundred games.

And so, until a certain point, no one wins me anymore.

I'm starting to feel a little bored playing chess.

There are nineteen vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard, but they are eventually exhausted, and in terms of computing power, almost no one in this world can match me.

Even if those national players were allowed to play together, it would be nothing more than a boring pastime.

They can't beat me at Go. Maybe their combined computing power can barely touch my edge, but computing power has never been calculated like this.

Because their computing power will be consumed by each other during the discussion, and while they are holding each other back, their mistakes will continue to add up.

Maybe he does have a comprehensive observation, but unfortunately, he is also very comprehensive in terms of playing bad chess.

After all, they are not of the same mind.

……

Since the only fun that playing chess can bring to me is to understand the opponent's thoughts from the chess game, I might as well go and play with my younger brothers and sisters.

I don’t want to find my eldest brother. He is too boring. He is always running for Dayan. Does he really want to integrate into the human world?

But unfortunately, except for him, the eldest sister and the third sister, no one wants to pay attention to me.

The eldest sister is interested in poetry and seems to be very interested in wine. She always wanders south of the Yangtze River and appreciates the beauty of the world.

The third sister was still tinkering with the so-called words, and even had a quarrel with Xiao Eleven... Oh, although you still have to blame me, after all, who asked me to talk so much about the origin of calligraphy and painting at that party?

Uh……

It seems that my younger siblings don’t like me, which makes sense?

But it's okay.

I just like siblings.

……

Hey!What did I find? !

Xiao Eleven, who has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, is actually able to make friends on his own?

This is really surprising and I can’t wait to share this news with my third sister.

...Forget it, no matter what, Xiao Shiyi should be given some privacy.

Since the last time I pretended to be Xi's age to scare her, the relationship between our brother and sister has been a little tense. If she knew that I was secretly spying on her life and told Jie her private affairs...she would inevitably fall out. .

But she should know, after all...

I hid my chess pieces with almost all of my siblings.

The eldest brother is always obsessed with helping those weak beings, doing trivial things... So what should we do with our brothers and sisters who are not easy to worry about?

Great Yan is still wary of us, and those little tricks that are ready to be used... Ha!Do you really think our brothers and sisters are easy to bully?

Although a few of them are really easy to bully.

However, the eldest brother is addicted to doing things for the court, while the eldest sister is drunk and dreaming every day...

well!Sure enough, you still have to rely on my second brother!

……

However, I am still worried after all.

I originally thought that friend was just a mortal whom Xiao Shiyi admired... This was normal. After all, even Nian, who had the most out-of-touch and lawless personality, would occasionally be attracted to the brighter parts of people's hearts.

But I found that I was wrong.

This dragon man who calls himself Zhu Jiuyin... He is indeed good at painting in terms of mortal eyes, but there is no way he can catch Xi's eyes.

As for his character... Where does this charlatan, who is careless, likes to talk back, and is arrogant, and who dresses like a lowly person on the street, show the brilliance of humanity that is worthy of Xi's appreciation?

Do not know do not know.

Could it be that Xi's preferences have changed so much after so many years?

……

Fortunately, fortunately, when I went to visit Xi, I could still see that stinky face - although I could only see the painted stinky face, at least I didn't hide behind closed doors. I was lucky enough.

Xi is still the same as before, he doesn't like to socialize, he is very tight-knit, he has too many taboos, he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

However, when I was tapping from the side, she suddenly became very nervous and warned me not to cause trouble, otherwise she would go to her elder brother to complain.

Then soon she threw me out of the little pet she drew for herself.

Xiao Eleven, who has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, turned out to be so stubborn and dared to threaten me in turn... It seemed that she really didn't want that friend to be known to her brothers and sisters.

Very good, Little Eleven.

You have successfully aroused my curiosity about the dragon man.

……

I regret it a bit, no, I should put it another way.

I would rather pretend that nothing happened, and I don’t care what friends Little Eleven makes.

Under the guise of apologizing, I secretly took a look at Xi's scroll in an attempt to observe the two of them up close... But what did I see?

Xi actually taught that man how to draw!

Although her face was tense and she still had a gloomy look...but she was actually willing to teach the dragon man how to draw!

But the dragon man looked like he was used to it, and didn't feel unnatural at all!

I'm afraid even if I tell Jie, who has never dealt with Xiao Shiyi, this news, she won't believe it.

I wasn't willing to think about that at first. After all, how could beings like us have such feelings?

But as my observations deepened, I gradually sensed something was wrong between the two of them.

Something is wrong, something is really nine or even ten points wrong.

Xi actually allows someone to draw and smudge on the basis of her paintings, tolerates someone chattering while she is painting, invites others to enjoy her paintings together... She even drinks with them!

When we had a small gathering, Xi didn't drink at all, but she didn't expect that outside of the banquet, she would drink with outsiders!

Are outsiders closer than our brothers and sisters? !

What made me most uneasy was that my sister, who had never slept peacefully since she was born, would take a nap after drinking and before the man left.

Maybe it’s because she still hasn’t forgotten our initial fight, or maybe it’s because seeing us brothers and sisters reminds her of some things that she avoids but has to face... In short, I have never seen such a timid person like me. My sister is so relieved.

Xiao Shiyi believed in him.

In some ways, she even trusted this man more than her siblings.

This is so disturbing to me.

……

Of course, I am not an older brother who likes to pry into the privacy of my siblings.

If it was Ling who did this, I would definitely not object. After all, although the eldest sister is drunk and dreaming every day, time has no meaning to her. She can dream for a thousand years, transcend time and space in the dream, and gain enough mature experience.

But I can't worry about Xiao Shiyi.

She is too reclusive and too simple. Her paintings only record what she sees and hears in pen and ink, or bury her inner beautiful fantasies in the scrolls... She is not mature enough.

She thought that as long as she didn't offend others, then people would definitely not offend her.

But how is it possible?Human desires are endless. Even if you keep to yourself, Dayan will find ways to torment us to ensure that they still dominate.

I have reason to suspect that the dragon man is a new method used by Dayan.

He actually used a beauty trap, and my stupid and naive sister fell for it stupidly!

I feel a little uneasy because I don't seem to recognize my sister.

No, it's not even just Xi... I also feel a faint fear about the changes in other brothers and sisters.

They became all too human.

The human heart is not as pure as those moralists advocate.

it's fine.

I will help you block those open and covert attacks.
