378 Wise Words after Alcohol

Liang Hongzhuang stared at Su Li. Expressionlessly, he asked like a deadperson, “Why?” There was silence. No one was able to answer this question. He made a bitter smile, “I thought that the heavenly laws would cycle in theend, not because of my  revenge, just that the time had not yet come, even ifit was slightly late, but there would always be one outcome in the end. Whowould have thought there is no heavenly law? Why would it let someone like youalways live so well? Seeing that you were about to die today, he appeared outof nowhere.” Chen Changsheng lowered his head. He did not look at him, and his hand whichgrasped the dagger trembled slightly. “Just how has our Liang clan offended you? What exact benefits has the Chenclan of Tianliang given you? A decade ago, you wanted to wipe out my Liangclan!” Liang Hongzhuang’s laughter became louder and louder, the blood on his bodyflowed faster and faster and his voice became shriller and shriller. When hesaid this final sentence, his questioning became a roar, a roar produced by aninjured beast. It was full of anger and unwillingness, despair and pain. Itpierced into the deepest parts of the souls of those who heard it. Chen Changsheng’s head lowered even more, his face became even paler, and hishand trembled even more. It was as if he was unable to hold onto the hilt ofthe dagger in the next moment. He did not wish to see Liang Hongzhuang whoseemed to already go crazy, and also did not dare to look at Su Li. This wasbecause he was very worried that if he saw them, he would feel anunrestrainable feeling of guilt for what he had done, and sink into pain andstruggle. Hearing Liang Hongzhuang’s grieving and indignant questioning and seeing ChenChangsheng who had his head lowered, Su Li remained expressionless—things thathad already occurred could never be changed. Thus, whether one regretted it ornot, it was all pointless, so there was no need to blame oneself. Even if therewas regret, it could only happen in his own heart. He definitely would not fallto the level of explaining it to the world. This was how he was. If it was the past, no matter how miserable LiangHongzhuang was, he would leave without even a change in his expression. Today,he was also like that, without a change in his expression, but for some reason,he said a few words before leaving. Perhaps it was because Chen Changsheng’shead hung too low, and that the dagger in his hand trembled too much? “When your ancestors of the Liang clan were emperors, just how many people inthe south did they kill, and how many sects did they exterminate?” Su Li looked at Liang Hongzhuang expressionlessly and said, “As for wiping outyour Liang clan… if I really wanted to do that, how would you be alive today,and how would Liang Wangsun still be alive?” He suddenly felt rather annoyed. He looked at Chen Changsheng and said coldly,“Why are you standing there idiotically and not leaving? Imitating lonelinessor are you filled with despair? Don’t think that just because you’ve saved me,you have the right to lecture me.” After saying that, he walked towards the other side mountain. After these days of resting, he was still heavily injured, but he could slowlywalk slightly. The two furry deer were full with the green grass and returned back towardsthem. They looked at Su Li who walked in the distance and Chen Changsheng whoremained head-down. They seemed to be rather perplexed, not knowing who tofollow. Chen Changsheng raised his head and looked at Liang Hongzhuang. He wanted tosay something, but only said a single word in the end, “Sorry.” After saying this heavy word, his mood did not become more relaxed because ofit. He extended his hand to pull the ropes around the necks of the two furrydeer, and silently chased after the lonely person in the distance. The side of the mountain faced south. Liang Hongzhuang was no longer able to endure it anymore, and collapsed on hisbottom. He looked at the two people who gradually became closer together andyelled painfully, “You think you really can return to the south? If youcontinue to follow him, you will definitely die!” Chen Changsheng did not turn around, and continued onwards with his head downsilently. Su Li walked very slowly, so it was not too long before Chen Changsheng caughtup. The furry deer lifted its front limb and placed its knee on the ground. Helifted Su Li onto its back. From the start to the end, no one said anything. Walking past the mountain and traversing another two mountains, the furry deerstopped by the side of a grassy hill that was green like moss. Chen Changsheng got off the back of the deer and sprinted to the edge of thepath. He bent over and began vomiting. Su Li looked at him and sneered, “It’s not like that guy died. What is thereto vomit over?” Chen Changsheng waved his hand and wanted to explain a little. However, he wasunable to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in his chest, and began vomitingagain. His battle with Liang Hongzhuang was his first upfront battle where hedefeated a Star Condensation expert all by himself. If the battle was notoverly ordinary which seemed to de-emphasize it, perhaps it was a battle thathad a spot in history. However, the price he paid was not ordinary. A battle that surpassedcultivation realms was obviously not as simple as it seemed. Under the pressureof Liang Hongzhuang’s Star Domain, he had also suffered very heavy injuries.All of his bones seemed to want to crack. Back then when his body had beentrembling nonstop, it was an issue with his mood, but also because his bodyreally could not last anymore. However, the true injury was not in the body, but in the mind. He did not have talent in calculation like Xu Yourong, much less innate talentthat was strong enough to surpass cultivation realms. He had only begunlearning the Intellectual Sword, yet he forcefully used it against theopponent. Also, he used seven strikes, which was not something he could endurecurrently. Most of the collection and analysis of information, with complicatedcalculations that were vast and boundless like the ocean, or even the starrysky, directly squeezed all of his mental energy dry, shaking his sea ofconsciousness all the way until it was about to collapse. He spent all his spiritual sense on those seven strikes, and his sea ofconsciousness was emptied. The body of the cultivator was a boat in their sea of consciousness. Now thatthe sea of consciousness was dry, the boat constantly fell into the void, neverstopping. This was a very terrifying process. He felt that all of hissurroundings, the mountain and the grassy hill, were constantly spinning andchanging. The brilliantly blue sky seemed to fall over his head, which made himfeel extremely bothered, uncomfortable, dizzy, painful and weak. It was likedrinking alcohol for seven days and seven nights without rest, with the alcoholbeing strong alcohol or even bad alcohol. The feeling was extremely painful and extremely uncomfortable, and it wassomething at a mental level, unable to be expelled from his body no matter what. He vomited all of the roast meat and wild fruit that he had eaten last nightand in the morning. He also vomited his stomach acid, and in the end, he couldonly vomit things like water, until he could not vomit anything else. He didnot stop, and began to vomit without anything, as if he wanted to vomit untilseas dried and stones became soft, for all of eternity. Only like this could heexpress his feelings to the world. Su Li looked at the teenager who vomited at the side of the path and saidnothing. After an unknown amount of time, he used the Yellow Paper Umbrella as a caneand slowly walked behind Chen Changsheng. He slowly raised the Yellow PaperUmbrella, and then hit the back of Chen Changsheng’s neck. With a slap, Chen Changsheng slowly collapsed. Before he collapsed, he usedhis last amount of energy to ensure that he would fall backwards and not becontaminated by the filth he had vomited up. However, he did not faint. His eyes remained opened, and he looked at the sky.He was in extreme pain and was extremely weak. Su Li said indifferently, “If you are unwilling to faint, you might go insane.” The strike from before consumed all of the energy he had accumulated secretlyin the past few days. Originally, he thought that perhaps it was not enough tokill opponents, but it should be enough to save someone. However, he did notthink that the body of this teenager was actually so tough. Chen Changsheng opened his mouth like a fish in agony and said weakly,“Senior, there’s a blade of grass on the mountain.” “You can’t be wanted to write a poem before you die?” Su Li said, “Don’t belike this, it makes people uncomfortable.” Chen Changsheng raised his hand with great difficult and pointed at the grass.He said, “That’s a Hundred Day Intoxication.” Just like how Su Li had said, if he continued like this, it really waspossible for his sea of consciousness to collapse, resulting in his death ordirectly turning him into an idiot. Also, most importantly, he really was veryuncomfortable and felt very painful right now. If he could still see clearly atthis time, able to see the white clouds in the brilliant blue sky, he woulddefinitely unwind the golden needle at the first moment, and make himselfunconscious. However, he could not do it. Fortunately, when he collapsed, he saw a grass that could make him unconscious. Su Li understood what he intended, and picked the grass. He crushed the grassroughly with his hand, and then shoved it into Chen Changsheng’s mouth. Chen Changsheng finally closed his eyes. His face was still pale, and hiseyelashes quivered slightly. Su Li breathed a few times tiredly, and sat down cross-legged. He glanced atthe silent mountain, and his right hand landed on the umbrella handle. A while later, Chen Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the thesky absent-mindedly. Su Li glanced down and said, “Unwilling to faint?” Chen Changsheng said tiredly, “The effects aren’t that fast.” Su Li said, “Then close your mouth, close your eyes and wait.” Chen Changsheng said with difficulty, “But there are some things I want to sayto Senior.” Su Li stayed silent for a while and then said expressionlessly, “Go.” “Senior… you should kill fewer people in the future.”
