Chapter 438: Who doesn't miss their youth? (Seeking collections and subscriptions)
Hearing this,
Su Hang pointed at the "Yuan" character before him and said with a smile:
"Fairy, look, this 'Yuan' character has four strokes."
"It means the beginning, the very start..."
"I wonder if you have thought about why you wrote this character?"
Li Mochou shook her head, looking puzzled.
Nonsense, as the Red-Lian Fairy, she was busy killing people every day; when would she have the chance to think about such things?
Although it is said that appearance is born from the heart, in reality, this principle applies to people in more ways than just appearance.
In fact, all of a person's actions are born from the heart.
It is just that this heart is a hidden interior, unknown to others, and even unknown to oneself—the depths of the heart.
Even the person involved might not be clear about it.
For Su Hang, if he looked at this character alone, even with the system, he might not be able to answer very accurately.
But he was a transmigrator, someone who knew the entire plot; combining all these factors to make a judgment about Li Mochou was really not a difficult task.
Li Mochou smiled bitterly:
"How would I know?"
"Mr. Su asked me to write a character, so I just wrote one, that's all."
"As for the deeper meaning, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to interpret it..."
Su Hang smiled faintly.
He had guessed that Li Mochou would say this,
so he picked up the teacup in front of him, took a light sip, and said with a smile:
"The first layer of meaning is not difficult,"
"it means that you are nostalgic and cannot forget..."
"What this character represents should be your time as a young girl."
As soon as Su Hang said this, Li Mochou couldn't help but look surprised!
"Well said!"
"If I hadn't heard Mr. Su say it today, I wouldn't have realized it!"
Li Mochou closed her eyes and quietly savored Su Hang's words, only then realizing that every word Su Hang said was completely accurate.
Although she had roamed the Jianghu for years and was long notorious, almost to the point where everyone wanted to kill her.
If it weren't for her high Wu Gong and her poison skills, she might have died countless times already.
But whenever she couldn't sleep late at night, whenever Li Mochou felt lonely, she would indeed recall the good times of the past.
Back then, she was just a young girl, wandering the Zhongnan Mountains with her master and junior sister, playing together, practicing Wu Gong together, and spending happy times as a young girl.
She still remembered the wild rabbits that were as swift as flying in the Zhongnan Mountains, the deer that ran around, and the happy fish in the murmuring stream...
It was just a pity for Li Mochou that these days had ultimately become memories and were gone forever.
Later, she was seduced, tricked by a man, and had to step into the Jianghu.
She had thought that by stepping into the Jianghu, as long as she gave her all and managed it with heart, she could get the feelings she wanted.
But she was completely wrong; that man didn't take her seriously at all. He just treated her as a woman, a most ordinary woman, a woman who could be thrown away after being used.
It was from that moment that the seeds of hatred were planted in Li Mochou's heart; she was no longer the innocent young girl she once was, and a raging fire of hatred finally ignited in her heart.
By that point, there was no turning back; everything was already too late.
The so-called "being in the Jianghu, one cannot control oneself."
After completely turning to the dark side, Li Mochou plunged headlong into the Jianghu,
constantly killing people, constantly venting the resentment in her heart,
and finally, under this poisonous resentment, she became the Red-Lian Fairy that everyone in the Jianghu feared.
However, just as Su Hang said, even though Li Mochou was hated by everyone and even though she became a public enemy of the Jianghu,
deep in her heart, she still retained a piece of past beauty and innocence; that was precisely her nostalgia for the past.
At this very moment,
the crowd saw the change in Li Mochou's expression and couldn't help but be stunned.
For a time, they couldn't imagine that this female devil, who killed without blinking, would have this side to her.
"Nostalgic for the past? It's incredible; this female devil also misses the past?"
"It seems that people aren't bad from the start, but after entering the Jianghu and being tainted by the dust of the world, they finally reach that point step by step!"
"That's true! When this old man first entered the Jianghu, I also thought about becoming a great hero who stood tall, to make a name for myself and be respected by the world. But now? It's completely different! Not only did I not become a great hero, but I was almost killed by my fellow disciple! Hearing Mr. Su's words now, I realize it was just a dream, very illusory."
"Incredible, truly incredible; who would have thought this female devil would also miss the past?"
"If this old man remembers correctly, Li Mochou is the senior disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect... but I don't know what she did to later betray the sect."
... Seeking flowers...
"Since you put it that way, this old man is full of curiosity about her... why not be a good senior disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, but instead go to the Jianghu to be a female devil?"
The crowd discussed it, unable to reach a consensus.
And Wang Yuyan saw this, paused, and said with a soft smile:
"It seems that this time, Mr. Su is right again."
"But what's strange is that what Mr. Su said seems to be something even Li Mochou herself didn't realize..."
"It was only after Mr. Su's guidance that she suddenly realized, as if she had been awakened."
After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, the others couldn't help but nod.
This subtle detail was clearly captured by more than just Wang Yuyan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuyan paused and added:
"This nun, she has the looks and the Wu Gong."
"If she had stayed in the Ancient Tomb Sect, she might have inherited the position of sect leader long ago; how could she be the devil she is today?"
Jiang Yuyan sighed as she said this, feeling deeply that it was not worth it for Li Mochou.
After all, just a short while ago, when Little Dragon Maiden appeared, Jiang Yuyan had gained some understanding of the Ancient Tomb Sect.
In short, this sect was by no means a dispensable sect with low presence, as others said.
In fact, the Wu Gong of the Ancient Tomb Sect, even placed in the entire Jianghu, was an existence of high and exquisite quality.
After all, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect was none other than the number one talented woman of the Jianghu, Lin Chaoying.
And Lin Chaoying's martial arts talent back then was completely no worse than Wang Chongyang's.
You must know that Lin Chaoying was able to fight Wang Chongyang to a draw as a woman; it is evident that her martial arts attainments were unimaginably high.
Even though Lin Chaoying died early of illness, the foundation of the Ancient Tomb Sect remained, and the Wu Gong left behind remained; it was still a force not to be underestimated in the Jianghu.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyan continued:
"No wonder..."
"With such a good sect, it would be strange if she didn't miss it!"
Lianxing heard this, nodded, and said faintly:
"If we look at it this way, this Li Mochou is somewhat similar to my sister..."
