Chapter 1953 The Knife in the Heart
"God, the way of heaven?" The fat man is not a novice who doesn't understand anything. When Liu Jun pointed, he immediately understood who Liu Jun was referring to, and his eyes widened instantly, full of fear.
"Yes." Liu Jun nodded lightly, and couldn't help but recall the horrific scenes he encountered when he helped Tu Shansu Su overcome the tribulation. The powerful pressure of the Heavenly Dao still seemed to linger in his mind. This Heavenly Dao was probably real. His thoughts were gone. Thinking of this, Liu Jun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Well, how about that? Do you have a way to send me back to the human world?" Before Fatty came to the God Realm, he had all kinds of beautiful fantasies in his heart, dreaming about having adventures in the God Realm, but now he found that this place is full of dangers. , Coupled with Liu Jun's words, his originally hopeful heart suddenly cooled down, and he had already retreated, and his voice was trembling.
"There is really no other way. I will find a safe and secure place for you to stay later. Liu Qingxuan and the others are also there." Liu Jun said slowly with a look of helplessness and a hint of worry in his expression.
Nowadays, although there is a passage in the human world that can ascend to the divine world, it is entirely because the rules of heaven in the human world allow it. However, the heavenly rules of the divine realm explicitly prohibit people from the divine realm from going to the human realm. This is undoubtedly a special protection for the human realm. Because of this, when you come here, there is no return.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, I know you won't let me go hungry. The place you carefully selected will definitely be fine." The fat man was a forgiving master. After knowing that he couldn't go back, he quickly let go of his heart. Tangled and uneasy, his expression became relaxed.
"Are you hungry?" Liu Jun asked with concern.
He still cares about Fatty. He and Fatty are also good brothers who have gone through life and death, and they were tortured to death by a little evil ghost together.
"Hehe, I feel a little hungry when you mention it like that." The fat man touched his round belly slightly embarrassedly, with a hint of naivety on his face.
"Eat some barbecue steak." Liu Jun said, quickly taking out the grill from the storage space, and then took out some tender steaks.
"This steak is really good!" The fat man couldn't help but praise. Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something important, and his expression suddenly changed, "I guess, Brother Jun, King Niu Moo was also captured by those birdmen. ! ”
"I know he's fine. I've rescued him." Liu Jun looked calm, calmly picked up the match, lit the coals in the grill, and said slowly.
"That's good, that's good! I tricked this old cow. If something happens to him, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe it. Wiped the sweat on his forehead.
The two of them chatted casually, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. But whenever the topic came to Mo Li, Fatty's eyes began to become evasive, always deliberately avoiding something.
"Fat man, are we still brothers?" Liu Jun frowned slightly and asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, it must be! Brother Jun, if necessary, I, Fatty, will risk my life for you, and I will have no problem at all!" Fatty said decisively without hesitation.
"What's wrong with Mo Li? Tell me the truth quickly!" Liu Jun raised his voice, with a hint of urgency and anxiety that could not be concealed.
His eyes were fixed on the fat man in front of him, looking forward to the other person's answer, as if every second of waiting was torture.
Faced with Liu Jun's urging, Fatty fell silent. Although he was usually tactful and good at handling various situations, at this moment, he hesitated.
He regards Liu Jun as a real brother and knows what this news means to Liu Jun. But he didn't want to lie to his brother, and he didn't want to see Liu Jun be hit by the sudden news.
"Say!" Liu Jun urged again, his voice was already a little hoarse, and his eyes showed an unquestionable determination.
The fat man took a deep breath, as if making some kind of determination. "Okay, I said, don't be impatient!"
"Mo Li is married." Fatty gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jun's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He froze on the spot, and the steak in his hand slipped weakly and fell to the ground. His eyes became hollow and confused, and his right hand, which would never shake no matter how strong an enemy he faced, could not hold a piece of steak steady at this moment.
"Married?" Liu Jun's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was confirming the fact that he didn't want to believe.
The fat man nodded, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice. "Yes, Sister Mo Li, she is married. Because of an accident, she lost her memory and never recovered. Later, she met a person, something happened, and the two got together. Some time ago, They had a wedding ”
Liu Jun only felt that his mind went blank, as if he had been detached from all thoughts and emotions. His hands were turning the steaks on the grill unconsciously, but he had forgotten what to do. His heart was filled with loss and pain. The girl with whom he once had a deep friendship has now become someone else's wife.
The surrounding atmosphere became extremely heavy, and Fatty's voice echoed in his ears, but Liu Jun seemed to be in another world. He couldn't believe this fact, let alone accept this reality. His heart was filled with endless regrets and remorse. If he had cherished his time with Mo Li more, maybe the outcome would have been different.
The fat man looked deeply at Liu Jun's slightly absent-minded face, the unbearable look in his eyes gently rippling like ripples. He understood that the deep love and persistence for Mo Li in Liu Jun's heart was like a wound that was difficult to heal and could be torn apart again at any time due to external influences. However, he also knew clearly that Liu Jun would have to face this matter sooner or later. After all, the truth could not be hidden for a long time.
He was really afraid that after Liu Jun returned to the human world after going through all kinds of hardships from the divine world, he would see Mo Li already joining hands with others. What would Liu Jun do at that time? Vent everything in anger, or leave in despair? Fatty couldn't imagine it and didn't want to see such a result.
The reason why I chose to tell Liu Jun now is that I hope this can give Liu Jun a buffer time. Fatty firmly believes that time is a good medicine. It can slowly heal the scars in people's hearts and make the pain of the past become blurred or even forgotten. What if time can really dilute Liu Jun's inner scars and allow him to let go of the past?
"Brother Jun, the steak is almost burnt." The fat man sighed, breaking the silence. His voice was full of helplessness and worry, and he hoped that Liu Jun could hear his reminder and recover from his daze.
Hearing the fat man's words, Liu Jun woke up as if from a dream. He suddenly came to his senses and found that the steak in his hand was already a little burnt. He quickly handed the grilled steak to the fat man, with a trace of apology in his eyes.
The fat man took the steak and looked at Liu Jun's still slightly pale face, feeling even more unbearable. Then he patted Liu Jun's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Jun, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry. Come on. It’s just me here, no one will laugh at you.”
Hearing this, Liu Jun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked up at the sky. There seemed to be endless secrets and unknowns hidden in the blue. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck all the pain and depression into his chest, and then turned it into a wisp of smoke and drifted away in the wind.
In the end, he chose silence, quietly picked up a piece of steak, and ate it silently. Chew each bite so hard, as if you want to incorporate all your emotions into this simple action.
If Mo Li's amnesia and the subsequent marriage that seemed to have been quietly arranged by the hand of fate had nothing to do with the superior heaven, he would not believe it from the bottom of his heart. After all, everything in this world seems to be unable to escape the invisible control and manipulation of heaven.
However, even if he now understands in his heart that all these twists and turns are inextricably linked to the way of heaven, so what? Is he going to kill himself in the sky in a fit of rage and compete with the illusory and supreme heaven?
He knew clearly that he was not the legendary Sun Wukong. He did not have the power to turn clouds and rain and cause havoc in the heaven and earth. He is just a mortal, an existence as small as dust in this vast universe.
Recalling everything that happened before, he was still thinking hard about why he helped Tushan Susu survive that life-threatening disaster, and even destroyed Tiandao's clone at all costs. With the ruthlessness of Tiandao and its unyielding retribution, why didn't he take advantage of it? When he was alone, he punished him with devastating divine punishment.
And now, he finally understood everything. It turns out that the knife inserted into the body, although the pain is unbearable, will always heal one day; but the knife inserted into the heart is so unforgettable that it can never be erased. Heaven's punishment for him was not to directly destroy his body, but to let him slowly taste the pain of losing his beloved and the helplessness and sorrow caused by being teased by fate in the endless pain and struggle.
The fat man looked at Liu Jun's appearance and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that time would really become a good medicine and allow Liu Jun to get out of the gloom as soon as possible.
After eating and drinking, the two of them became very silent. The fat man wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say.
He knew that Liu Jun's current state could be considered lovelorn. The key was that he had never been in love since he was a child, so he didn't know how to comfort him.
Fortunately, just when the atmosphere was about to solidify into ice, the figures of the ape-man and the tiger-striped man finally appeared.
Their return was like a breeze, gently blowing away the suffocating embarrassment and dullness around them.
"It smells so good!" As soon as the strong man with tiger stripes came over, he seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and his eyes instantly locked on the grill that had not been put away in the corner. On the grill, eight or nine pieces of golden and crispy grilled steaks were exuding an alluring aroma.
Liu Jun raised his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes lightly swept over the slightly eager figure of the tiger-striped man. "Eat, I'll leave it for you."
His voice was calm and cold, without any tone, like a robot.
When the tiger-striped man heard this, he didn't care much. He immediately took big steps and walked straight to the grill. He grabbed a piece of steak without hesitation and started chewing it in big mouthfuls. With that satisfied expression, it was as if he had forgotten everything around him and was only immersed in this rare delicious food.
The ape-man appears to be more calm. He frowned at first and looked around, his eyes resting on the fat man.
He looked at the fat man carefully, a trace of curiosity and doubt flashed in his eyes. "The person he rescued from the birdman was you, right?" the apeman asked, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
Hearing this, Fatty nodded quickly, "Yes, you can call me Fatty."
Regarding the appearance of ape-man and tiger-striped strong man. The fat man is not afraid. After all, he has become brothers with King Niu Moo, so he can naturally accept existences like the tiger-striped man and the ape-man.
"What's going on?" Seeing the fat man being so calm, the ape-man turned his attention to Liu Jun, pursed his lips, and asked him to explain the current situation.
However, Liu Jun seemed to be completely immersed in his own world at this time. His eyes were dull and empty, and his thoughts had already drifted back to the distant human world. There, every moment between him and Mo Li kept replaying in his mind like a movie: every smile, every movement, every look in her eyes... made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
The expression on the fat man's face froze. He wanted to answer the ape-man's question, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
"Lovelorn." After a long time, Liu Jun finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse. These three words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and also revealed the endless pain in his heart at the moment.
