Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Sun Lake Festival

The old man didn't even look at him, and his attitude was still so serious and reserved. With one hand, he slowly untied the ribbon tied to his chin, and took off the round basin-like bucket stick, revealing a wounded heart. Jie's bald head looks like an eminent monk with profound cultivation. Xiao Ma walked over suddenly, pulled the stool opposite him and sat down, and said, "You don't drink?" The old man shook his head. Xiao Ma said: "It is said that after eating human flesh, you must drink some wine, otherwise your stomach will hurt." The old man said: "My stomach never hurts."

Xiao Ma said coldly: "If you don't go now, it will hurt soon." The old man finally looked up at him, shook his head slowly, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." Xiao Ma said, "What a pity?" The old man said: "Unfortunately, I am too full today." Xiao Ma said: "Otherwise, do you still want to taste my meat?" The old man said: "I don't need to taste it, I can see it." He said slowly: "How many grades are there for human flesh? Your flesh is the best." The pony laughed, laughed. Hao Shengshang was walking over with tea, a large pot full of strong tea was boiling, and the spout was steaming.

Xiao Ma suddenly asked him: "Is it true that no one has ever fought in this place?" Hao Shengsheng nodded immediately and said, "Never." Xiao Ma said: "Very good." As soon as he said those two words, he kicked the table away and punched the mage on the nose. The mage sneered, and lightly waved his skinny palm. The nails, which were originally curled up like paper tape, suddenly jumped up like a blade, stabbing the pony's veins sharply. Unexpectedly, another punch from the pony hit him in the stomach. This is not a wonderful move, but the pony's fist is too fast.

There was a sound of "Bu", and the fist hit the stomach, like a drum. Then there was another sound of "divination", and the stool the mage was sitting on suddenly shattered. His man was still sitting in the air, didn't even move, the pony's fist didn't seem to hit him in the stomach, but hit the stool. Chang Wuxin frowned. He could see that this was the ultimate internal skill of using force to transform force into force, and there were not many people who could practice kung fu to this level. But Xiao Ma didn't seem to understand at all, and said to the mage, "Does your stomach hurt now?"

The mage said coldly: "My stomach never hurts." Xiao Ma said: "Very good." After saying two words, his fist flew out again, still hitting the nose. This time the mage's hand was not slow, and the blade-like nails pierced his throat. This move uses offense as defense, and the attack is exactly where the opponent must be saved - the meaning of must be saved is that if you don't save, you will die. But the pony couldn't help it. He didn't even pay attention to it, and the fist came out anyway-it was the other fist, and it still hit the stomach. The mage's nails and eyes were almost piercing his throat, only a little later.

Only a little bit slower. The pony's fist is too fast and too courageous. If he wanted to hit this person in the stomach, he had to. He didn't care whether he lived or died. The mage didn't move yet, but his face turned pale, and his blade-like nails curled up like paper tape. His inner strength has been dissipated. Xiao Ma said, "Does your stomach hurt now?" The mage looked away. Xiao Ma sneered, "Your stomach doesn't hurt, why can't you even speak?" The mage took a deep breath, jumped up suddenly, slashed the pony's left neck with his backhand, and kicked the pony's lower abdomen with both legs.

His shots were poisonous and weird, when he moved, his whole body moved, even his black robe moved, like a man-eating monster. It's a pity that the pony's fist has already started hitting him in the stomach again. He couldn't take this punch any longer, he hit the wall with a "bang", and fell down again. The pony rushed over, punching him like raindrops, hitting him on the nose, in the stomach, in his soft ribs and waist. He kept beating, and the mage kept vomiting, including blood, bitter water, and bile. His whole body was beaten softly, and he could only crawl on the ground like a dog to be beaten.

The pony finally stopped. Because he has been hugged by Lan Lan. The mage couldn't move anymore, and Hao Shengshang's face turned pale, and he murmured: "What a quick fist, what a quick fist." Xiao Ma said: "In the future, you can tell others that someone here has finally fought." Hao Shengsheng sighed and said, "This is the only place where you can sleep peacefully. Why do you have to break the rules here?" Xiao Ma said: "Because these are just your rules, not mine." Hao Shengshang smiled wryly and said, "You also have rules?"

Xiao Ma said: "Yes." Hao Shengsheng said, "What rules?" Xiao Ma said: "I will beat the person who should be beaten. Even if there is a knife on my neck, I will definitely beat him up." He continued coldly: "This is my rule, it must be better than your rule." Hao Shengsheng said, "Which one is better than me?" Xiao Ma raised his fist and said, "As long as there is this, it is enough." Hao Businessman had to admit that no one could deny that at least half of the world's rules were made with fists. My fist is harder than yours, and my rules are better than yours.

Xiao Ma stared at Hao Shengshang, and said, "I have one more thing to tell you." Hao business can only listen. Xiao Ma said: "I am the one who breaks the rules, it has nothing to do with others, so when they are resting here, if someone comes to trouble them, I will come to you." With a straight face, he continued slowly: "You'd better not forget this." He knew that Haoshang would never forget, and his fist was the guarantee. Lan Lan couldn't help asking: "We're resting here, what about you?" Xiao Ma said: "Old Pi is my friend, and sister Pearl is also good to me."

Lan Lan said: "You still want to find them?" Xiao Ma looked at the girl on the ground and said, "I don't want them to stay there to graze." Lan Lan said: "But we also need you." Xiao Ma said: "You are by no means the ones who need the help of others the most, at least you are here at peace, not to mention that now is the time for everyone to sleep." Lan Lan said: "Can you stay awake?" Xiao Ma said: "I can." He didn't let Lan Lan speak, and quickly continued: "When a friend wants to jump into the kang, as long as I can help him, I can do whatever I want." Lan Lan said: "Is this also your rule?" Xiao Ma said: "Yes." Lan Lan said: "Even if you put a knife on your neck, you will never break your rules?" Xiao Ma said: "Yes." Hao Shengsheng reappeared suddenly, put a jug of wine in his hand in front of the pony, and said, "There is still time to leave after drinking this jug of wine." Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Do you still want to do my last business?" Hao Shengshang said, "It's free." Xiao Ma said: "Do you also have a treat?" Hao Shengsheng said, "I only invite people like you." Xiao Ma said, "What kind of person am I?" Hao Shengsheng said: "A person with rules has your own rules." He filled a glass for the pony: "There are not many such people these days, so I don't have to worry about spending money from time to time." Xiao Ma laughed, raised his glass and drank it all, and said, "It's a pity that you have to pay at least once today." Hao Shengsheng said, "Oh?" The little horse said: "I will definitely come back at sunset, even if I climb, I have to climb back." Lan Lan bit her lip and asked leisurely, "Come back and drink his free wine?" Xiao Ma stared at her and said, "Come back and do what I promised you." Chang Wuwu suddenly said coldly: "What if you die?" Xiao Ma said: "It's better to die." Lan Lan said: "Better?" Xiao Ma said: "No wolf is as fierce as a ghost. I was a murderer when I was alive, and I must be a ghost when I die." He smiled and said again: "If there is a ghost protecting you from crossing the mountain, what else do you have to worry about?" Lan Lan wanted to laugh too, but couldn't. She also filled a glass for the pony, and said, "Are you sure you will find the wolf's lair before sunset?" Xiao Ma said: "I wasn't sure at first, but now I have someone to lead the way." Lan Lan looked at the girl on the ground and said, "Can she find her own nest?" Xiao Ma said: "I'm sure I can make her sober." Lan Lan sighed, and said, "She was seriously injured, and she will definitely be in pain when she wakes up." Xiao Ma said: "But pain can also keep people awake." Pain can also wake you up. When a person is alive, there is pain, which is something that no one can avoid. If you can remember this sentence, you will definitely live a stronger and happier life. Because you will gradually find that only a person who can endure pain in a waking state can have a meaningful life and a respectable personality. The spring water flows down from the high mountain, and Xiao Ma immerses the unconscious girl in the cold and clear spring water, which hurts her badly. The cold spring water flowing into her wound must have caused her pain. But the pain has made her sober. The sun was shining brightly, and she suddenly began to stiffen in the spring water, like a fish that has been stabbed by a javelin suddenly, and the fish cannot cry. Her cries were unbearable to listen to. The pony is listening and watching. His heart is not hard, he did this only because he felt that this girl should be washed both body and soul—not with water, but with pain. It is as if gold must be refined in flames to be pure, as if the phoenix must be baptized by fire to become more brilliant and beautiful. The shouting and struggling finally ceased. She floated quietly on the water, and when she could open her eyes again, she saw the pony. Her eyes are also awake. Being awake made her eyes look more beautiful, beautiful and pure. She may be a witch or a slut when she is intoxicated, but she is just a lonely and helpless little girl when she is sober. Seeing the pony, she actually showed a frightened and shy expression. Fairies and sluts would never have such an expression, not even when they were completely naked. Xiao Ma laughed, and suddenly said: "My surname is Ma, and everyone calls me Xiao Ma." The girl looked at him in surprise and said, "I don't recognize you." Xiao Ma said: "But you still remembered mine just now, you shouldn't have forgotten so quickly." The girl looked at him, then at herself. She didn't completely forget what happened just now. A person who has just woken up from a nightmare will never soon forget that nightmare. ——Is she in the nightmare the real herself?or now? She was a little confused. She's been living in a nightmare for too long. Pony understood how she felt: "Do you remember now? Do you feel scared?" The girl suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards the pony, as if she wanted to strangle the pony's neck and goug out the pony's eyes. A pony has only one neck and one pair of eyes. Fortunately, he still has hands. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed her veins, and her whole body softened immediately. The pony wrapped her in his clothes and held her gently in his arms. The girl gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you sooner or later." Xiao Ma said: "I know you don't really want to kill me, because what you really hate is not me, but yourself." He was smiling, very softly. But what he said is like a needle, which can pierce people's hearts: "I also know that you must be regretting now, because you did those things originally to find happiness, but all you found was pain and remorse." He could see her painful expression, but his needle pierced deeper: "As long as you are awake, you must hate yourself all the time, so you will abuse yourself, torture yourself, and take revenge on yourself. And forget that it's not doing anybody any good." Now his needle has pierced very deep, deep enough to pierce the knot in her heart. He can feel it. Her body trembled, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. A person who is hopeless will never shed tears. He stroked her hair gently: "Fortunately, you are still young now, and there is still time to start a new life." She suddenly raised her face and looked at him with tearful eyes, like a drowning person, suddenly seeing a piece of driftwood. "Is it really too late?" "real." The spring water has returned to clarity, the blood in the water has disappeared into the waves, and there will never be any dirt and blood left in the spring water, because it will flow forever. They walked along the depths of the Spring Pillar Mountain. "The source of the spring water is a lake," said the girl. "We call it the Sun Lake." "That's where you sacrificed the sun?" The girl nodded. "When the sun rises every morning, the first rays of sunlight always shine on the lake." There was a kind of dreamy longing in her eyes: "At that time, the lake water seemed to be brighter than the sun, and we jumped into the lake naked, as if being embraced by the sun!" Her voice is also full of beautiful fantasies, and there is absolutely no evil or obscenity in her voice. "Then we began to worship under the rising sun, praying that it will always exist and never abandon us." "What kind of sacrifice do you use?" Xiao Ma asked. "On normal days, we usually use bouquets," the girl said softly, "Flowers picked from distant mountains." "When is an unusual day?" "Fifteenth of every month." "What did you use as a sacrifice that day?" "Use ourselves." She explained: "It is a day for each of us to dedicate ourselves completely to the sun." Pony still doesn't understand. "How do you give?" "We choose the strongest boy, who symbolizes the sun god, and every girl must dedicate herself to him until the sun goes down." She continued slowly: "Then we will let him die in the sunset." She spoke very plainly, as if she was talking about family affairs. Ponyfield felt his stomach constrict again. "The boy willing to die?" he asked. "Of course I would!" the girl said, "There is absolutely no way of death in this world that is so glorious and beautiful." Her voice was suddenly full of sadness: "It's a pity that I don't have this chance anymore!" "you?" "On that day, the boys will also choose the most beautiful girl to be their goddess." "And then every boy has to be with her...with her..." Pony couldn't think of the right words to say this. "Every boy must shoot his own seed in her," she said for him. "Because a man's seed is more precious than blood, everyone must dedicate his most precious thing and let her bring it to the sun." She still spoke very flatly, but Xiao Ma's fists were already clenched. He suddenly discovered that there must be a very evil person among them manipulating them, taking advantage of these young people's ignorance and illusions, and covering a very evil thing with a beautiful cloak. Not only were their bodies being tortured by that person, but their hearts were also damaged. The pony clenched his fists, wanting to punch the man's nose into his own asshole. The girl continued to say: "The day after tomorrow will be fifteen, and the goddess everyone has chosen for this month is originally me." "What now?" "Now they have replaced me!" She was obviously very sad: "They chose a strange woman from other places!" "So you were angry and sad, and you ate grass desperately, trying to forget about it." The girl admits. The pony suddenly laughed, laughing loudly. The girl looked at him in surprise: "Why is he laughing?" Xiao Ma said: "Because I think it's very funny." The girl asked, "What's so funny?" Xiao Ma said: "You!" The girl said: "I'm funny?" Xiao Ma said: "A person who is already dead, suddenly able to survive, no matter who will be very happy, but you feel very sad." He shook his head and laughed, "I've never heard anything funnier than that in my life." The girl said, "That's just because you don't understand." Xiao Ma said, "What do I not understand?" The girl said: "I don't understand the meaning of life!" Xiao Ma said: "If you just die in such a daze, what's the point of your life?" The girl sighed, and said: "This is a very mysterious and miraculous thing, and I can't explain it to you." Xiao Ma said: "Do you know anyone who can explain?" The girl said, "There is someone." There was light in her eyes again: "There is only one person, and only he can guide you to eternal life!" The pony's fists clenched tighter as he struggled to contain his anger. He tentatively asked, "Who is this person?" The girl said: "He is the messenger of the sun, and he is also the one who presides over the sacrifices for us." Xiao Ma said: "Can I see him?" The girl said, "Do you want to see him?" Xiao Ma said: "I want to die!" The girl said: "Do you also sincerely want to join us and become a citizen of the Sun God?" Xiao Ma said: "Yes." The girl said: "Then I can take you to see him." The pony jumped up: "We're going now." At this time, the night had not yet come, and the sky was full of sunset. "Every evening when the sun goes down, the last ray of sunlight always shines on the lake." "At that time, you also had sacrifices?" "Ok." "The one who presides over the ceremony is also the envoy of the Sun God?" "Usually." Xiao Ma looked at his clenched fist and murmured: "I just hope that today is not an exception!"
