On the occasion of collapse

Chapter 872: The fire is passed down from generation to generation and burns forever

"Su, what's wrong?" Looking at Su who was frowning slightly in front of her, Bai Zhi asked with some confusion.

Poria told her before that when Su Daxian opened his eyes, nothing good would happen. Even if it wasn't a bad thing, it would certainly not be a trivial matter. That's why Bai Zhi was so surprised when she saw Su open his eyes.

If she doesn't believe her sister, can she believe you?

"It's okay, I just saw something unexpected." After recovering her mind, Su slowly closed her eyes and did not choose to tell Bai Zhi about it.

Because this is not Bai Zhi's matter, she should not be involved.

"Unexpected? But sister, didn't I say that you are a magic stick who knows everything... Uh, um, I didn't mean it." Bai Zhi, whose mouth is faster than her hands, didn't pay attention to the handle on her mouth at all, and said directly out.

"...It's okay, I'm used to it." Regarding this, Su said that he was used to being called a magic stick by Poria cocos, and it was better than being called an uncle.

"Then, what can surprise you so much?" The curious baby Bai Zhi perfectly displayed her damn curiosity at this moment. She looked at Su and asked this question.

"..." Su said nothing, but reached out and picked off a leaf.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it." Looking at Su's look, Bai Zhi also knew that Su probably didn't want to say it.

"Miss Bai Zhi, there are many things in this world that require you to find the truth yourself. There is a big difference between the truth I tell you and the truth you find yourself." Looking at the leaves in his hands, Su said slowly.

The leaves kept changing in his hands. The originally ordinary leaf unfolded and finally turned into an unfamiliar leaf of Angelica dahurica.

"Miss Bai Zhi, you need to find the truth yourself. I think the reason why she didn't tell you this matter is that she didn't want you to be involved in this matter. So... I forgive me for not telling you the truth. ." The leaves floated slowly in Su's palm, and Su handed the leaves forward to Bai Zhi's hands.

"This leaf is given to you as an apology for hiding the truth." Su said softly as he sent the leaf in his hand to Bai Zhi.

"Ah...oh..." Bai Zhi took the leaf blankly and looked at the green leaf, a little dazed.

She seemed to have seen leaves like this before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

"This is a bodhi tree leaf. According to legend, the bodhi tree is known as a symbol of wisdom." Seeing Bai Zhi's puzzled look, Su Fen explained promptly.

"But actually I don't think so, because it is humans who have wisdom. The bodhi tree is just artificially given a unique meaning. Other than that, it is actually just an ordinary tree." Slowly. As he spoke, Su put his hands on the trees beside him. Under Bai Zhi's gaze, the originally ordinary tree began to grow and change. The leaves on its branches changed their appearance and became Bodhi leaves in Bai Zhi's hands. .

"A flower is a world, a leaf is a bodhi. A tree is a living thing, a grass is a paradise." Su's voice was very soft, but it was impossible to ignore.

"This is the world's view of Bodhi and all things." Su took a deep breath while stroking the Bodhi tree beside him.

"Miss Bai Zhi, I have a question for you."

"Ah? What's the problem?" When Su's name was suddenly called, Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hesitantly.

"The question I want to ask is very simple." After receiving Bai Zhi's response, Su said softly.

"Bird, why do you fly?"

"Why, can it fly?" Bai Zhi was stunned after listening to Su's words, because she felt that it was a matter of course that a bird could fly.

"My dear friend, Kevin once gave me this answer." Looking at Bai Zhi's confused look, Su was not surprised, because this was a normal reaction.

"He said that the reason why birds fly is because birds must learn to fly, otherwise they cannot survive." Su said slowly, looking at Xiang Baizhi.

"But I hope, Miss Bai Zhi, you can come up with a different answer. Why do birds fly? This question has troubled me for a long time, but in the end, I also came to a different answer than Kevin." Su slowly said As he said this, he really hoped that Bai Zhi could find his own answer to this question.

"But...this question...well, I think birds seem to be able to fly." Bai Zhi scratched her head and gave her own answer.

Birds can fly by themselves, this is the inherent thought of most people.

Birds are born high in the sky, and everyone can see flying birds when they look up.

But everyone subconsciously ignores that birds are not born to fly. They were once weak and struggled to flap their wings on the ground.

This is Su's answer.

The reason why a bird can fly is because of its own will.

It wants to fly, so it can fly.

Su's answer is very similar to Fuling's answer.

But what Fuling believes is that the reason why birds want to fly is because they long for freedom and the blue sky because of desire.

And Su believes that the reason why birds fly is because birds want to fly.This is the most essential hope, the expectation of the bird.

And now, Bai Zhi gave an answer that many people would give.

Birds themselves can fly.

"Miss Bai Zhi, you don't have to answer prematurely. I hope you can give an answer that you understand best. When you find your own answer, I will listen to your answer again." Interrupting Bai Zhi, Su Speaking slowly, what he wanted to hear was not the answer that many people would give, but a unique answer that belonged to Bai Zhi.

"The answer belongs to me?" Bai Zhi was a little confused after listening to Su's words.

She didn't understand what it meant to be my own answer.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Bai Zhi, one day you will understand the meaning of this sentence. And one day you will find your own answer." Su's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of expectation.

"It's just that I hope that by then, I hope that I can still listen to your answer."

Su knew the fate of Paradise and knew that day would eventually come.

I also know that...the fate of the Paradise is imminent.

These relics of the old era have no time left, so he hopes that before they disappear, he can see a new generation of warriors grow up and take over their mission of fighting against Honkai.

Maybe this is a bit selfish, but...

The fire is passed down from generation to generation and will burn forever.

Only in this way can civilization last forever.

This is the meaning of civilization, this is the human...

inherited.

Chapter 873 Before the collapse, I was just an ordinary person

"Why do birds fly? This is a strange question..." After leaving Su's place, Bai Zhi scratched her hair, but she was still thinking about the question Su asked herself.

"What a strange question..." After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi couldn't figure out what kind of answer to this question would be considered her answer.

She didn't understand why Su was so insistent on finding her own answer.

It’s just a question, do you need to be so serious?

Bai Zhi didn't understand the meaning of Su's words, nor did she understand why Su was so insistent on this matter.

But...she will try her best to find the answer Su wants her to find, although...she doesn't know if she can find it.

"Oh, so how are we going to find this answer? Shouldn't I be asked to think about it myself? That would be too hard..." Walking in the shade of the trees, Bai Zhi sighed and looked like she wished she could do it now. Find a place to lie down and sleep until the end of time.

But obviously, she couldn't do that.

She still has things to do, unfinished goals, and... important people.

So she cannot be decadent.

"Ah~ when can we really show off? We don't have to do anything, don't have to think about anything." Raising her head, Bai Zhi looked at the sky and sighed faintly.

If that day really comes...she won't have to worry that she will turn into a monster and... destroy everything she owns with her own hands.

"Miss Bai Zhi?" A familiar voice came from behind. Bai Zhi came back to her senses and looked back at Sakura, who was holding a wooden sword in her hand and wearing a kendo uniform.

"Ah, Ying? What are you doing?" Looking at Ying's unfamiliar outfit, Bai Zhi blinked, obviously not knowing what Ying was planning to do.

"I'm going to practice sword practice for a while. Miss Bai Zhi, do you want to come with me?" Looking at Bai Zhi who seemed to have something on her mind, Ying didn't ask. Instead, she turned the wooden sword in her hand and handed the handle to Bai Zhi.

"Sword practice?" Bai Zhi took the wooden sword in Ying's hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally blinked in confusion.

"Haha? Is this a sword???" Looking at the curved wooden sword, Bai Zhi was confused. How could she remember that the sword didn't look like this?

"It's normal for Miss Bai Zhi to have such thoughts. However, sword training is just a general term. In fact, I practice swordsmanship." Pulling out another wooden sword from her waist, Ying made two gestures with it in her hand.

"Knife, that's no wonder." Reluctantly accepting Ying's explanation, Bai Zhi looked at the wooden knife in her hand and imitated Ying's gestures.

"It's because it's made of wood. It feels light and light to use." Feeling the knife with almost no weight and resistance in her hand, Bai Zhi began to miss the big sword of Tianming Laboratory...

Experimenter: Lord Bai Zhi!This is a plasma sword for mechas!It’s not for you! ! !

Bai Zhi: Really?But I find it very easy to use.

Experimenter: ...Forget it, as long as you are happy.

"Maybe, but the weight of this kind of blade itself is not too heavy. I think it won't make any difference even if you hold it as a real knife." Ying said slowly, Ying had seen Bai Zhi's strength, so she I feel that Angelica dahurica may not be suitable for weapons such as swords.

"That's not possible. After all, I used to be a dashing swordsman." Bai Zhi touched her nose and said with a smile.

Although the past time was full of regrets and reluctance, for Bai Zhi, it was also a happy time.

"Swordsman? Oh, is Miss Bai Zhi very proficient in swordsmanship?" Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Sakura's gentle eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found someone of the same kind.

"Uh... forget it, forget it..." Bai Zhi took a gulp after noticing Ying's severe heat.

I always feel like I said something I shouldn't have said...

"Well, I have something to trouble Miss Bai Zhi." Looking at Bai Zhi's nervous look, Ying calmed down her excitement.

"Please, please say it." Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhi looked at Ying in front of her, fearing that she would suddenly say something like "Let me touch your horns and tail"...

It's all the fault of the smelly old lady, who made her think that her horns and tail were going to suffer again as soon as she heard the request.

"It's just a simple request. I hope Miss Bai Zhi can compete with me in swordsmanship." Looking at Bai Zhi's nervous appearance, Ying chuckled, shook her head, and said slowly to Bai Zhi.

"Ah? Ying, you want to spar with me? You might not be able to beat me." After hearing Ying's request, Bai Zhi said without any politeness.

She was not talking nonsense. When she first arrived in the Paradise, she was able to fight Qianjie back and forth. Later, after Kevin's training and the accident, her strength also improved a lot. At least now she He is also confident that he can fight Qianjie head-on without losing.

Wait, maybe we can win?

But she has never fought Qianjie again, so she doesn’t know if she can beat him.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a simple swordsmanship competition." Sakura chuckled and shook her head, indicating that this was a swordsmanship competition, so don't let me collapse.

"Okay, but let's talk about it first. My swordsmanship is also very strong." After hearing Yingying emphasize the swordsmanship competition again, Bai Zhi also understood that she was overthinking.

This is a discussion, not a fight.

"Okay, let's go. The place ahead is where I train. Let's go there." Ying stepped aside, pointed in the distance, and said slowly to Bai Zhi.

"The training place?" Bai Zhi blinked. At this time, Bai Zhi had not realized the seriousness of the problem. She had never expected that the training place Ying mentioned would be...

"Ying...are you sure...this is a training place?" Looking at the mountains in front of her, Bai Zhi blinked in confusion.

No, who's good guy's training place is a whole mountain?

Destiny is not so generous as to assign a mountain to one person for training, right?

What, what did you say?

Oh, this is the promised land, that’s okay.

"Well, my previous home was a village located in the mountains and forests, so after arriving in the Paradise, I rebuilt it to look like my hometown." Walking on the mountain road, Sakura breathed in the fresh air in the mountains and forests, and took a long breath. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"But...actually sometimes I feel that it is not a good thing to choose to recreate the scenery of my hometown in the paradise." At this point, Sakura turned to look at the empty house on one side.

Following Sakura's gaze, Bai Zhi saw several futons placed on the ground in the empty room.

"Every time I see these empty houses, I think of you all." But in Sakura's eyes, she could see two small figures on the futon.

'Sister, when I grow up, I want to become a great person like my sister! '

"Before the collapse came, I... was just an ordinary person..."

Chapter 874 Fight?beat!It can't be fought!

"I'm sorry, I said some strange words to myself. Let's go, Miss Bai Zhi." Putting her thoughts away, Sakura took her eyes back from the empty room and continued walking forward.

As the two of them continued to move forward, Bai Zhi finally saw the whole village.

I have to say that it is much more spectacular than Bai Zhi thought.

"Miss Bai Zhi, welcome to my hometown. If this place can be called my hometown." Looking at the empty and extremely silent village in front of her, Ying sighed slightly.

"It's... very beautiful here." But Bai Zhi did not pay attention to those empty houses, but saw the cherry blossoms and the thriving flowers and plants all over the mountains and plains.

"Really? Then I would like to thank Miss Bai Zhi for the compliment." Sakura, who had come back to her senses, also heard Bai Zhi's words. She could tell that Bai Zhi's words were not specifically meant to comfort her, but she really felt that, It's beautiful here.

"Yes." Bai Zhi slowly raised her hand and caught a stray cherry blossom.

"Speaking of which, Sakura's hair color is the same as cherry blossoms." Looking at the petals in her hand, Bai Zhi put her eyes on Sakura's hair. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly raised her hand and pinned the petals to Sakura's ears. superior.
