Qizi

Chapter 114

Ling Xiao, who has always been outside of history, was suddenly entrusted with such an important task, and was a little dazed for a while.

His tone was full of uncertainty, and his eyes that kept wandering diagonally below also revealed his heart.

"To be honest, if it were me who just completed the coming-of-age ceremony and came back from time travel to this question, I might give the answer without thinking."

"At that time, my heart was full of hatred for this system. Compared with living without dignity, death is a relief."

"If you let me know that the origin of inequality is a multiple-choice question, I may, as you said, hate the person who made this choice. Because of his own selfishness, he decides the fate of everyone without authorization. Desperate because of this, I truly realized that life would be worse than death."

But gradually, because he recalled more past events, he became more and more confident, and his embarrassing eyes began to firm up.

"But we must also admit that this system gives us a possibility, a possibility that people who love each other can stay together. Without this system, our future will have no hope, and there will be no despair. In the future, there is no hope, so what is the point of having freedom and dignity?"

"I have seen many unfortunate people because of the existence of the blood contract, Pingzong and Lansheng, the principal and Feijing, Taiyin and Shangyang... But I have also seen more people who are happy because of it, Dr. Yao and Dr. , Chief Fuyao and Instructor Nie Yun, Bingcan and Hongmao, etc., if in order to avoid the misfortune of some people, it is necessary to deprive more people of happiness, for them, the freedom to pursue happiness is where?"

"When I was still a baby, the health doctor of the college said that in true love, there is no superiority, no victory or defeat. Lovers, this power won't do anything, their hearts are equal, their positions are equal."

"When I was young and ignorant, I regarded it as nonsense. It was not until I reaped true love that I realized that this is actually the crystallization of wisdom summed up by our compatriots who have been working hard, pursuing, and investing in countless people's efforts for 4000 years. Our predecessors, after life after life of cannibalism and lonely reincarnation, only got the opportunity to take a small step forward, and your descendants will follow your steps and continue to walk step by step."

Ling Qi and Ye Zheng held each other more tightly in private, and everyone present yearned for the bright future he outlined.

"What's more," Ling Xiao had a smile on his face that he didn't even notice because someone's figure appeared in his mind, "Without the existence of the blood contract, it would be impossible for Yingfeng and I to live together without knowing who the other party is. Falling in love with each other again on the premise of lovers from previous lives."

"We will miss each other, and we may be separated from each other in the coming-of-age ceremony, or we may not have any intersection at all. With his low EQ, he might be lonely for the rest of his life with a peach pit in his arms, or even be scattered. What do I do? Take it easy."

"As a beneficiary, I am very grateful for the birth of the Blood Pact. If I were to choose the prefix to live on, I hope that no matter what, I can be with the one I love. Only that kind of survival is meaningful."

Both Ling Qi and Ye Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, including everyone present. This difficult decision became simple and pure because of the appearance of this mysterious person.

"You're right," Ling Qi smiled, "If you die, you will have nothing. Only by living can everything turn around."

"Compared with real human beings, we wake up to master language, writing, and all survival skills, so in a long life, we have enough time to learn how to get along with each other."

He picked up Yezheng's two hands, touched his forehead, and interlocked his fingers, "From then on, our relationship will no longer be equal, which itself is contrary to the original intention of love. But I believe that our descendants will be here In this unequal relationship, find a way to get along with each other on an equal footing, and carry on our present intentions from life to life.”

"Maybe there will be a better solution in the future, maybe in 4000 years and another 4000 years, people will find the key to undo the coming-of-age ceremony, but in this life, at this time, at this place, I am willing to give up everything and become your deed, and never regret it. "

Everyone was immersed in this warm atmosphere for a long time before realizing belatedly that this should be the first wedding since the founding of the Republic.The belated applause added excitement to the simple ceremony, and the people showed joy. Since they learned how to laugh, this was the first time they smiled after the coming-of-age ceremony.

"It's incredible," Tai Shao said to Ling Xiao, "You really come from the future 4000 years later? Can you let me check your data?"

Ling Xiao stretched out his arms generously, allowing Tai Shao to connect the instrument to his wrist, and the comparison of his and Ling Qi's numerical values ​​was displayed side by side on the two screens.

"I didn't quite believe it before, but after seeing such data, I have to believe it," Tai Shao exclaimed, "Compared with today's Tianxiu people, you have upgraded and evolved very much. Presumably, in the past 4000 years, your Compatriots have been working hard to achieve such remarkable progress."

"The only pity is that I can't directly transplant your code with my own strength, not to mention that the modern Tianxiu people's bodies can't bear it, just like high-end software can only run on high-end platforms, too advanced code It will only crash the system. All I can do is make a simple modification on the basis, and more depends on your afterlife. Fortunately, you have proved that you can do it."

He tapped on the keyboard, "The core command of 'loyalty to the royal family' cannot be changed. In order to compensate for the unequal relationship brought about by the blood contract as much as possible, I added 'when the royal family does not exist, always be loyal to yourself'." Companion', and set it as the first priority, loyalty is your first attribute, so the modification can be easily accepted."

"It's also impossible to ban the coming-of-age ceremony, but we can add a contradictory order to contain it, for example, change the killing of the other party to develop..." He couldn't think of it.

"The combination of the two sides can develop?" Ling Xiao mentioned casually.

Tai Shao snapped his fingers, "It's a good idea! That's it."

Ling Xiao: ...I always feel that I have dug a big hole for myself.

"No, in fact, we can discuss this issue in more detail..." Ling Xiao tried to stop it.

Tai Shao turned a deaf ear to it, and continued, "I will close your copying authority, from now on you can only obtain souls through the soul tree, and the newly generated souls no longer need the gene transplantation of real people, but will directly have humanoids after birth. the wisdom of man."

"Why is that?" Ling Xiao asked puzzled.

"This is an agreement I made with people in this country. In exchange for me helping you modify the code, you will give up the right to self-replication, and only the soul tree will automatically control your population. If you abide by the agreement, keep yourselves safe , the soul tree will continue to produce souls, making your population prosperous. But if you continue to invade and harm the interests of other nations as before, the new souls will become less and less, until they are completely cut off."

Ling Xiao was a little guilty, but fortunately, other people didn't notice, they were still immersed in the joy of changing the status quo. As for the population crisis, it was too far away from them, and it was not a problem that people in this era would consider at all.

Together with Ye Zheng, they sent Ling Qi back, and explained the precautions during the disordered period with worry. After all, this is No.1 who has lived in the disordered period all day. There is no previous experience for him to learn from. Ling Xiao began to doubt him. The purpose of coming back is to help my previous life to tide over the difficulties.

"I have passed the coming-of-age ceremony safely, how about you? When will you leave here and go to the next time point?" Ling Qi asked him after carefully writing down every order Ling Xiao said.

"I don't know," Ling Xiao rubbed his nose, "It may be soon, or it may stay for a long time. If you don't see me for a day, it means that I have left."

"Although I am very sad, I hope you can return to your world as soon as possible and reunite with Yezheng's afterlife."

"Yes," Ling Xiao waved to them, went out the window and jumped onto the tree.

"Why does he live in a tree?" Ling Qi asked.

Yezheng shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's the habit of people in the future."

Ling Xiao saw peaches on this tree from afar, he grabbed the biggest one, wiped it and was about to bring it to his mouth, when he saw his hand become transparent.

Let me take a bite before wearing it!He cried out in his heart, it's a pity that the Goddess of Time didn't hear his request, he just watched the peach leak from his hand, and ran happily to the soil under the tree.

Boom—something fell to the ground, rolled and stopped.

Yingfeng, who was loosening the soil in the flower garden, heard the movement, looked around, and saw a round thing under the tree.

He went over to check, and it turned out that it was a wild peach on the tree. Because no one picked it, it was too ripe and fell to the ground, which was already rotten.

Xiao Hui also came over to smell it symbolically. It can already be called Big Hui in terms of body size. After staying with Yingfeng for a long time, the whole wolf has become very cold, not at all like being with Ling Xiao when he was a child. so lively.

"Do you want to eat?" Yingfeng asked.

Xiao Hui turned her head arrogantly and refused to eat.

Yingfeng raised his head, there are still many ripe peaches on the tree, if someone is still there, he should be very happy.

He was considering whether to pick the peaches, and accidentally saw a small seedling emerging from the soil under the peach tree.

"what is this?"

He walked closer and observed carefully. Over the years, he has known many plants, but he has never seen similar sprouts. Judging from the appearance, it looks like some kind of woody plant, but it does not belong to any known class.

How could such an unknown plant suddenly appear here?

Yingfeng took out the pen and paper that he carried with him, and drew a sketch of the newborn Miao Miao. When he closed the notebook, he found that the environment looked familiar.

——I always keep it, because it is one of my important things, but if it makes my important person unhappy, of course I choose the latter between things and people.

Yingfeng finally recalled that this was the place where he chose to bury the token, under the peach tree in the backyard of the church.

... Could it be it?

Yingfeng was puzzled, and saw that the soil in the corner not far away showed signs of loosening, as if it had been dug up and buried.

What is it this time?

He walked over, and as soon as he squatted down, Xiao Hui nervously followed, and sat in a suspicious place trying to cover up.

Yingfeng was almost certain that it was responsible, he drove Xiao Hui away without any explanation, and dug up the soil with a shovel to reveal what was underneath.

Gnawed bones, mummified mice, sloughed cicadas, a ball of cloth whose history cannot be discerned...

Yingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "You picked these up?"

The secret of Gao Leng's big gray was exposed, his head turned from side to side, he didn't know what expression to use to continue to maintain his aloofness.

"You did the saplings over there, too?" I guess they picked up the seeds from nowhere, buried them in the ground and just sprouted.

Xiao Hui looked puzzled, but in the eyes of Yingfeng, who was of a different species, it was probably a guilty conscience to some extent.

"How come you are like a monkey, you like to save all kinds of junk."

Xiao Hui's eyes lit up for a moment, then slowly dimmed, and his head drooped listlessly.

After Yingfeng blurted out that sentence, he also fell silent. One person and one wolf were relatively speechless. A gust of wind blew by, and the saplings not far away shook their crisp and tender bodies with the wind.

After a long time, Yingfeng stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Hui's head.

"I'll help you bury it again."

Xiao Hui lay down on the ground depressed, and let out a deep whine from the depths of his throat.
