Si Zang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's right, academy. I hate this the most. My senior brother used to live in this place. When he got in, the whole neighborhood was hyped up. Academy, it has nothing to do with parents or individuals. These two words are the best, hahahaha!"
"Even his parents were eventually coaxed into saying how lucky they were to live in this neighborhood, with its proximity to the school, good feng shui, and plenty of brain-boosting snacks nearby..." Si Zang smiled, then sighed inwardly. It's like people always fall into the same trap, every single time.
Lin Feng couldn't help but say, "When I was in high school, my parents also rented a place in the Xuefu neighborhood."
"Hahaha, how was the exam? How did you do?" Si Zang opened another bottle of beer.
“Okay, it has to be good, it’s a university.” Lin Feng recalled for a moment, then shook his head: “The place is nice, but the kids are more prejudiced than the adults. It’s one thing for the adults to compare their kids, but the kids also compare their parents… Later, after renting for a month, my family took me to another place, and I never went there again.”
"Hmph, these people..." Si Zang put down his beer and cursed angrily, "Sometimes I feel that this world is beyond saving. Although everything is moving in a good direction, people are getting narrower and narrower, and they are still smug about getting into a cesspool."
"What, you really have the idea of saving the world?" Lin Feng glanced at him, recalling what had happened before.
"Saving the world? I...cannot save the world. Sometimes I want to awaken some people, but unfortunately these people are not worth awakening at all..." Si Zang sighed and shook his head: "The times, society, education, life, etc., even if you tell them the right answer, they just want to lie down and profit from you, playing games, drinking beer, spending the little capital they have, thinking themselves great and singing the praises of God's injustice, saying...the opportunities have all been taken away."
Lin Feng listened quietly, his mind also beginning to ponder.
"Opportunity...opportunity is always fleeting; it only beckons to those who are prepared, not to a bunch of opportunists."
"Forget it, we're all just ordinary people. Who has that much time and energy? Playing games is so much easier... Throughout history, who hasn't spent their entire life doing one thing to leave their mark?"
"Which one isn't... Never mind, my meddling won't save them anyway, and not everyone can be a saint. If they wanted to save themselves, they would have already taken action."
Si Zang downed his drink in one gulp, then started eating the roasted meat in big mouthfuls, mumbling, "Whatever. Speaking of you, I haven't seen you leave the Nightmare Space. Even if it was a name trade, you don't have to stay here."
"Those two ladies beside you... wouldn't want you to always be like this..."
As they were talking, Gui Ke appeared between the two of them, curiously opened a can of beer, and said while smelling the aroma, "Little Taoist, my brother is much more steadfast than you."
"Ha~ him, me, you, ha!"
Si Zang, with a mouthful of meat in his mouth, pouted as if about to retort, but upon seeing the two of them staring at him, he immediately shut up.
Gui Ke took a sip of wine, savoring its strange taste, then put it on the ground and proudly told Si Zang, "Aren't you curious about how he relaxes? It's simple, he's most relaxed when he has a goal."
"Uh..." Lin Feng was slightly speechless, sounding like he was very capable.
"In your words, everything he experienced was his life. He never felt oppressed. He took himself seriously in the present moment, and he took his goals seriously, taking each step steadily forward!" Gui Ke patted Lin Feng's shoulder with great pride. She had been reading a lot about modern things these days: "Students think they study for their parents, white-collar workers think they work for their bosses, and all those who give think they live for others. They only see the oppression, but they don't see themselves. That's the difference between you!"
"To put it simply, you might feel most relaxed when you're doing nothing and thinking nothing, but for him, the most relaxing time is when he sits down and slowly thinks!"
“Little Taoist, you cultivate the Tao, but you don’t cultivate humanity. If you really want to save the world, you should become a mortal immortal and truly experience life in the human world.”
Si Zang was stunned for a moment after hearing what was said, but when he saw Gui Ke's proud look, he immediately became displeased: "Do I, a Daoist, need to cultivate? I have walked through this mortal world countless times, and I have seen clearly the deceit and treachery of the world!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, sit down and talk slowly." Lin Feng quickly stepped in to stop them, otherwise these two would get carried away.
Gui Ke obediently sat down, but soon she retorted with a single sentence that was enough to kill Si Zang: "Hmph, Hong Ling and Yu both told me that this little Taoist priest is neither good nor bad at cultivation. If he can cultivate to a state of purity and detachment, then he should cultivate to a state of purity and detachment. If he wants to engage in worldly affairs, then he should engage in worldly affairs. But he just starts strong and ends weak, touching on both sides."
"If all else fails, then go and live a life of seclusion. If you have the guts, shave off all that unkempt hair on your head and become a monk without self, form, color, or desire."
Hiss... Lin Feng felt like he wanted to interject but couldn't. He understood Si Zang's feelings. Gui Ke's words were too absolute, but upon reflection, they made sense...
Just then, Shizang suddenly calmed down, plopped down on the ground, picked up the skewers that Ironclad 99 had brought, and grumbled unhappily, "You're right."
Huh? Lin Feng glanced at Gui Ke in surprise, who looked nonchalant and proud.
“I am too ambitious. If I cannot achieve the result I want, this matter will not be completed… To do worldly things with a detached mind is something I cannot do.” Si Zang sighed. There were some things he understood, but he just couldn’t do them. The slight resentment in his heart did not come from the world, but from his own expectations, not even excessive expectations, but the most basic thoughts.
But this very simple thing becomes... in other people's eyes, they don't care at all, they only care about face, they never forgive anyone, others, children... or even themselves!
"Hmph, good that you understand." Gui Ke patted Lin Feng's shoulder happily and disappeared from sight with a proud look on her face.
Lin Feng looked at Si Zang, who had lost his edge, and sighed silently: Had something happened to him?
As Shizo drank another beer, night slowly fell.
Soon the city lights illuminated the sky, and the lingering smell of alcohol in the room was quietly lifted by a figure who stood up as Si Zang fell into a deep sleep.
With a whoosh, Si Zang was sent into the Ghost Realm. In the empty mansion, only Lin Feng was left standing by the window, admiring the night view of this world. After he finished drinking the wine in his hand, he casually threw the can onto the sofa behind him.
This place is indeed nice, but looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be perfect.
Turning around, Lin Feng walked from the room to the second floor of the mansion. He pushed open the rooftop garden door and stepped into the cold night wind, dispelling the lingering smell of alcohol on his body.
Looking into the distance, S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopters were still circling high in the sky, and the Ironclad 99, which was monitoring the outside world at all times, had marked several heavily armed snipers near the scene of the incident.
After a careful search, Hawkeye's trail could still be faintly spotted on the tallest building.
It was this moment of attention that made Hawkeye turn around in surprise, staring at the location of the surveillance camera for a long time.
"Such keen observation skills."
Lin Feng sighed softly, turned around and rolled up a black cloak, which was then thrown away by Gui Ke with a claw.
The building behind him shrank rapidly and was swallowed by the night in the blink of an eye. Then, the dragon claw that appeared out of nowhere threw Lin Feng out again, sending him flying towards the edge of the city.
After landing safely, Lin Feng removed his disguise and plunged into the ghostly realm of the Yin House, avoiding the various searches that suddenly appeared.
