in the edge

Chapter 147
Qian Yu felt that he was probably crazy.

There must be something wrong, otherwise there is no reason for him to sit at the table like an idiot and listen to people telling him stories about the big tree - well, although he also admitted that the story was indeed made up. It looks impressive, but what does this have to do with him?
"This is what I've been struggling with lately, and I'd like to ask my husband for advice."

After talking, Du Chengfeng looked into Qian Yu's eyes with a very sincere attitude.

But Qian Yu just wanted to overturn the table at this moment.

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense, a person who is supposed to have a will as strong as iron is showing off his evil spirit, but now he actually says in front of him that he is a little confused - Qian Yu feels that there must be something wrong with his ears, otherwise it doesn't make sense to be so outrageous. Things will happen to him.

You are so entangled, let alone releasing the evil spirit, how do you survive the evil spirit entering the body?

But this kind of words cannot be said clearly. After all, the other party has not revealed any ability to express his evil spirit. He has to reveal his identity first by saying this rashly.

But he didn't say anything, but Du Chengfeng spoke.

"In the past, I didn't think so much. At that time, I thought that no matter who came to pick the fruit, as long as the big tree pulled up the roots and killed them, the matter would be resolved. But now... old man You have also heard this story, do you think that pulling up the roots of the tree can really solve the problem?"

You ask me, who do I ask?
Resisting the urge to punch him, Qian Yu took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Fortunately, it was a good thing. After all, the story about the big tree was so symbolic. How could he not see that the big tree in this story was actually a metaphor for Du Chengfeng himself—— In other words, the situation of the big tree also means the situation of Du Chengfeng, and the confusion of the big tree is also Du Chengfeng's own confusion.

If you think so...

It seems that there is no need to think about it. Du Chengfeng has already lost his mind before he has done anything. Although it is difficult for him to understand why a lunatic with a firm will and can even show his evil spirit, He had to squat here and struggle like an ordinary person, but did he need to understand what a madman was thinking?

Obviously, no need.

He just needs to know how to kill this madman.

Thinking this, he looked at the short man beside him.

The short man holding the cloth bag just shook his head.

The big shield was in the cloth bag, and the short man never let the weapon leave his body. On the other hand, Du Chengfeng also brought a guy with him, but the weapon was placed in the saddle bag by the door—— Holding a weapon, one side is empty-handed, no matter how you look at it, you will win with the weapon.

But why did this shield-wielding master, who showed off his evil spirit, say no?
Not really.

The short man shook his head vigorously. He wanted to explain this directly, but now that the three of them were sitting at the table, he had no chance to explain the matter clearly to Qian Yu.

Although he also knew that this was a good opportunity to take action, he could also clearly feel that Du Chengfeng was not really unarmed - this dangerous feeling should be that of a dagger or a short sword. If he attacks a sharp weapon like this from this distance, his shield will slow down by half a beat.

Of course, if the difference is only in weaponry, it can be made up with decisiveness in mentality.

But here lies the problem.

The man named Du Chengfeng in front of him was clearly talking about how confused he was, but the short man could clearly feel that if he wanted to take advantage of this confusion, he would definitely be the first to die.

His mouth was confused, but his hands were not confused at all. At this moment, the short man himself also felt the twisted absurdity.

Just like Qian Yu, he also felt that inexplicable pinch, like a murderous evil ghost sitting here and talking about how he cared about whether the two goldfish released in the morning could survive - logically speaking , Such people cannot release the evil spirit to the outside anyway, and even the most basic evil spirit may not be able to survive when it enters the body.

However, such an indecisive person managed to do it...

"and many more?"

The little man suddenly realized something.

Is it possible that obsession can also be confusion itself?
Yes, it seems to be the case, and no one has stipulated that confusion cannot exist as an obsession - or in other words, confusion itself is actually caused by too many choices, just like entering a restaurant and facing Many people may hesitate for a while when the chef brings out the menu.

But this hesitation is not a negative, but because there are so many dishes to choose from.

If you are a determined person, you may be able to choose a few dishes quickly, but for a confused person, it seems that every dish on the menu can be tried - in other words, this Du Chengfeng Rather than being confused, it is better to say that I am deliberately maintaining this state of being able to search up and down at any time. This is the obsession itself!
At this moment, the short man felt that he understood everything.

This made him take a breath.

"hiss……"

"what happened?"

Du Chengfeng turned around when he heard the noise. "Do you have anything to say too?"

"No...it's just that the food is a bit hot."

The short man didn't say anything, for fear that his words would affect Qian Yu's performance.

What he can see, Qian Yu can definitely see too.

But if you want to destroy this extremely rare obsession, what you really need to do is the other way around.

"I already know the answer."

Sure enough, in the sight of the short man, Qian Yu said what he wanted to say.

"Why do you have to care about trees? You are not a tree. The tree in the story is bound by people, but you are not in reality, so why don't you do what you want to do?"

"This...huh? It seems to be true."

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"That's true. I'm not a tree. Why do I have to care about this story?"

"Yes, just do what you want."

Qian Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

That's right, since Du Chengfeng is still struggling and has no obvious direction, then just let him find a direction by himself - the moment when he is satisfied is the moment when his will is weakest. , at this time, even if Du Chengfeng had no strength, he would not be able to perform at least a few percent.

At that time, all it takes is a random master to give him...

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Du Chengfeng get up and run, Qian Yu couldn't help being stunned.

"Where are you going?"

"Do what I want to do."

After getting on his horse, Du Chengfeng didn't even look back.

"I've wanted to try this for a long time."

"Follow up!"

Picking up the little man beside him, Qian Yu also left the restaurant in a hurry, and the two rode their horses and chased wildly all the way, and even chased all the way out of the city.

The opportunity to kill Du Chengfeng was close at hand, and both of them had already felt it.

But the further down they ran, the more the two of them felt that something was not quite right.

"……and many more."

On the third day of chasing Du Chengfeng, Qian Yu suddenly realized.

"Is this the way back to Jiankang?"
