Chapter 21: Fate

The south peak of Huashan Mountain is divided into one peak and two peaks. The east peak is pine and juniper peaks, which are named after many pine and juniper trees. On the west summit, Luoyan Peak, it is said that the geese returning south will rest on Luoyan Peak when they fly by. Because this mountain is too high, the geese will not have the strength to fly over Huashan if they don't rest.
Luoyan Peak is the peak of Huashan Mountain, and it is the highest and most dangerous place in Huashan Mountain, which is known as the "No. 1 Risk in the World".
Standing on the top of the peak and looking down, you can see all the hills, the Loess Plateau, the Weihe Plain in the distance, the Yellow River, the Weihe River, and the Jinghe River are coiled on the earth like a jade belt. The river reflects the golden sunlight like a jade belt. Brightly inlaid with gold orbs.
But at the moment it was late at night, and only the outline of the dark ridge under the moonlight could be seen, and the tip of the pine and juniper trees were occasionally protruding from the thick clouds in the mountains.
There were no geese on Luoyan Peak, but five big bats.
The big bat landed, and several bright searchlight lights illuminated the landing place. Meng Xinghun was dazzled by the dazzling light. Just about to reach out to block it, the bat helmet automatically switched to the anti-glare mode. Under the cover of the eyepieces, he could see the scenery in front of him clearly.
A huge fortress made of iron and stone stood before him.
This fortress is too big, and the building area has far exceeded the top of Luoyan Peak. Dozens of thick steel columns that require three or four people to hug are inserted into the mountain. The steel columns are criss-crossed, forming a metal platform covering several hectares. Supported, the huge fortress was built on a metal platform.
If you look at it from a distance, the fortress on the top of Luoyan Peak is like a bean stuck in the tip of a needle, which makes people feel incredible, but it is very real and magnificent.
The entire fortress is made up of huge stones. The thin iron bars of the thumb are the bones and the bricks are the flesh. Meng Xinghun can't imagine how the huge amount of building materials can be extremely thrilling from people walking on the long sky plank road. It is transported up, and how many civilians should be recruited and cost less than two dollars to create this magnificent castle.
The place where the bats landed is a metal platform. A large regular circle is drawn on the platform. There are two vertical and one horizontal three lines of yellow paint in the "H" shape symbol. Meng Xinghun doesn't quite understand what this symbol represents. Meaning, but since the bat landed here, he guessed that it probably meant "landing point".
This fortress should be the "Arkham" lunatic asylum that Afu said, and indeed as Afu said, this lunatic asylum can only go up, not down, you can enter, and you can't get out. If a lunatic comes in, he wants Leave unless you can fly.
The steel door of the huge fortress was open, and Ah Fu was standing at the door, shooting a few bright beams of light from the fortress, illuminating the platform where Meng Xing's soul landed and the small square in front of the door.
There were two rows of men and women in white gowns standing beside Ah Fu. These people were expressionless and indifferent. At first glance, Meng Xinghun had a bit of chill, and the more they looked, the less they looked like people.
Meng Xinghun didn’t know that this was actually caused by the "Uncanny Valley Effect." Those doctors and nurses were all synthetic robots in the Fallout 4 world. On the surface, they were indistinguishable from humans, but they were highly perceptive and sensitive to five senses. In their eyes, the slight gap between robots and living people will make them feel inexplicably fearful.
Ah Fu led the men and women in white coats to greet him. He pointed at the back of Meng Xinghun. Someone pushed the iron bed with wheels and ran towards the old man Liu’s daughter, Xu Qingsong and the Jiang brothers, and placed them on the iron bed. Hastily pushed into the Arkham Asylum.
Ah Fu came to Meng Xinghun and said, "The villain welcomes the young master and returns in triumph."
Looking at the face that pretended to be respectful, and listening to the extremely disgusting voice, Meng Xinghun clenched his fist, he fisted with hatred, and slammed it into Ah Fu's face.
Meng Xinghun didn't know what was wrong with him. He was rarely impulsive and lost his mind before, but today he has been impulsive twice.
He knew that Ah Fu could block his fist with one finger, and then used his to make that strange gesture. Meng Xinghun didn't know what that gesture meant, but he was certain that it was a gesture used to humiliate others. .
Before his fist hit Ah Fu's face, Meng Xinghun regretted his punching. He thought he was about to see Ah Fu's humiliating gesture again.
But not, Ah Fu did not stretch out his middle finger, Meng Xinghun's fist literally hit him in the face, knocking him out, and his body turned in a circle in midair, although he did not knock out his white teeth. , But also made him spout blood.
Meng Xinghun was taken aback for a while. He knew very well that he hadn't gotten a great martial arts adventure overnight, and it was impossible for Ah Fu to lose his martial arts overnight. How could this punch be hit?
Ah Fu fell to the ground, got up very neatly, and came to Meng Xinghun again.
His left cheek was swollen and the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and he arched his hand toward Meng Xinghun: "If the young master has any grievances, I will send it to Ah Fu. Tonight, Ah Fu is offensive in his words and deeds. Please forgive me, too. But the old servant acted like this, but it was the last words of Master Bu, and he had to do it."
After finishing speaking, he moved his right cheek up to see what that meant, it was to make Meng Xinghun punch out again.
Meng Xinghun didn’t want to fight again. If he could beat Ah Fu to death with one punch, he would go on without hesitation, but he intuitively felt that even if he hit a hundred punches, a thousand punches, Ah Fu’s face If it swelled ten times a hundred times, this old bat spirit would not die.
Meng Xinghun said coldly: "Tell me why!"
Seeing that Meng Xinghun did not intend to punch again, A Fu wiped his face with his hand, and the swollen cheeks and bleeding corners of the mouth recovered as before. He stood up straight and said, "Is there any qualification to inherit Master Bu's mantle, even if he My son has also passed a test."
Meng Xinghun said: "To force the lives of my close relatives and friends, is it a test not to let me save the people who are screaming injustice?"
Ah Fu smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has to go through a test to become a hero. Ask the deepest part of his heart to see what proportions of the subconscious "self", "superego" and "intrinsic self" are. Affect the composition of his personality, whether the heroic personality can be detached under the suppression of the'Shadow'."
Meng Xinghun didn't answer, he didn't understand what Ah Fu was talking about.
"In every man lives a child, a hero and a devil."
Ah Fu continued: "Sometimes the children will be fooling around, the devil will confuse, and the heroes are teaching the children while suppressing the devil."
This time, Meng Xinghun understood a little bit.
"Young Master wants to hear a story from the West? The protagonist of the story is somewhat similar to what happened to the Young Master."
A Fu looked at him with a smile and said, before Meng Xinghun could answer, he went on to say to himself:
"An ancient prince in the Far West, his name was Achilles. His mother spoiled him too much, so she dressed him as a girl from a young age and put him in the group of girls, raising him completely as a girl. , Master Meng, tell me, what will this Prince Achilles look like when he grows up?"
Meng Xinghun thought for a while and said, "The female-like male dancer among women? The habitual son is like killing a son, but this mother's queen has done something wrong."
Ah Fu smiled even more and said: "This Prince Achilles was born very handsome, and dressed as a girl is even more beautiful than a real girl. He has lived with a girl since he was a child and has never seen a man. , So the behavior is very elegant and gentle, and the man who doesn’t know the inside story sees him, he is immediately taken away, and he will fall in love with him if he is not careful."
Meng Xinghun remembered Xiao He, who grew up with him since he was a child. Xiao He is a boy and girl. He is very cunning, but also very naive. He also likes to play tricks, really like a jealous vicious woman.
He sighed: "Such a prince who is more feminine than a woman has the same mentality and spirit as a woman. How will he inherit the rule of the world, and the dragon will rule the world in the future? He could be harmed by his mother."
Ah Fu said: "One day, the enemy soldiers invaded that country, and they slammed into the royal city and entered the harem. When the enemy soldiers rushed in, Master Meng knew how Achilles would respond?"
Meng Xinghun said: "I'm afraid that you are screaming like the ladies of the palace and fleeing for their lives?"
Ah Fu shook his head and said: "He took the shield, grabbed the guard's long spear, and wore a beautifully beautiful face, wore a white gauze skirt and entered the enemy line, dancing with the lavish voice of the harem, but A song of "General Order" killed the enemy into a river of blood! Since then, he gladly stepped onto the battlefield, made contributions, and led the army to defeat the invading enemy country and fled in a hurry, becoming a great hero. Known as the'First Warrior in Greece'!"
Meng Xinghun was stunned, but he didn't expect the ending of this story to be like this. He shook his head and said, "This story is really absurd. Your ability to make up stories is getting worse and worse!"
Ah Fu smiled and said: "Achilles is a character recorded in the famous book Homer Epic. The Homer Epic is like China’s "Historical Records". It is a historical book. In the "Historical Records" It also contains the allusion of King Qi Wei's "If you don't speak, it's a blockbuster", isn't Achilles the "King Qi Wei" in the extreme west? Is the biographies recorded in "Historical Records" also absurd?"
Ah Fu pointed to Meng Xinghun and said, "Master, no one has ever taught you how to be a hero. You were born in a pile of killers, and you were raised as a killer. You should have become the best killer in the world. Just like Achilles was supposed to be the most man in the world, but when he was forced to a cliff, Achilles did not become the damnest man, but the bravest warrior. Then you are How does it work?"
Meng Xinghun was questioned. He never understood why he jumped off impulsively. He should have watched those people die calmly, and the lives of those people combined could not compare to the lives of the boss.
But he jumped off, could it be said that in the deepest part of his heart, there really lived a hero? Even if the "mother" Boss Gao always trains him as a killer, his ultimate destiny is to become a hero?
