Wang Yan had almost forgotten the existence of another person in the field. He and Xia He looked toward the source of the voice almost at the same time. 31?? They saw a graceful woman in a purple gauze dress, like a purple jasmine that had just bloomed, standing quietly in the autumn wind. As the silk belt around her waist fluttered, this woman seemed to be dancing with the wind.
This woman was naturally the Lady Ying Yu that Wei Xiaofeng had captured from the Spring Night House. Even though she was over ten meters away from Wang Yan and Wei Xiaofeng, and her hair ornament had been removed by Wei Xiaofeng, causing her hair to casually drape over her shoulders, even so, the flirtatiousness that was revealed in her words was enough to cause one's heart to sway. It was no wonder that Wei Xiaofeng was so infatuated with her and was willing to take such a huge risk to capture her.
However, Wang Yan, who had seen Miss Four's celestial beauty, did not feel much. His eyes were more appreciative of her beauty and style.
As for Xia He, not only did this guy not feel the slightest bit of affection for Ying Yu, there was even some disgust in his indifferent eyes. He slowly raised the saber in his hand and shouted, "You who use your beauty and body to entertain others, dare to disturb my Taoist Heart?!"
Before his voice died away, Xia He tapped his foot and slashed at Miss Ying Yu. This woman had never expected that Xia He would suddenly attack with his saber. Her beautiful face immediately turned pale. Seeing the saber shining on her, she could not help turning her head and closing her eyes sadly. A line of clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes. As her body trembled slightly, she softly murmured, "I originally pitied the child, but strayed into the oriole's garden. Tightening my clothes to ward off the wind and dust, only sigh …"
It was unknown whether Ying Yu was murmuring a poem or a song, but her appearance under the saber and sword could not help but make people feel pity for her.
With a "ding", when Xia He's long saber was about to slash down, it was blocked by the sword in Wang Yan's hand. Xia He turned his head and frowned at Wang Yan, saying, "Brother Wang, what do you mean? This woman is only an illusory existence. Leaving her alive today will only cause trouble for the two of us. "
Xia He was extremely determined, but this time, Wang Yan did not back down. He only said calmly, "If Brother Xia thinks that the people and things in this world are all illusions, then why waste your time here? If you don't have any attachments to this world, why are you so obsessed with life and death? "
Xia He's eyes flickered as he slowly sheathed the long blade in his hand. Wang Yan turned to Ying Yu and said, "I have three questions. If you can satisfy me, I will let you leave this place, but you cannot return to Tianmaji. If you can't satisfy me, even if Brother Xia doesn't kill you, the long sword in my hand will take your life."
Between life and death, fate reversed. Ying Yu stopped crying and bowed slightly to Wang Yan, "Young Master, please ask away."
"Do you have a past?"
Wang Yan seemed to be asking Ying Yu, but at the same time, he was also asking himself. Unfortunately, his answer was clear. No! He did not have a past. There was only one sentence in his past. The so-called parents and the time before he was 12 years old were all blank in his mind. Therefore, Wang Yan wanted to find out if the other NPCs were like this. He did not have the chance in the past, but today, the chance had come.
Ying Yu nodded and began to talk about her past. She was born in a small mountain village, but she was abandoned because she was a girl. Later, she was saved by a kind person, but her adoptive parents were killed by thieves. In the end, the whole family was slaughtered, and she was the only one who survived …
As Ying Yu spoke, her past unraveled like a picture scroll. In the picture, there was only a rugged road and Ying Yu's helpless laments. Wang Yan fell silent. It was obvious that Ying Yu and he were different. Ying Yu had a complete past, and her narration was also very picturesque. Ying Yu's past was at least like a picture in her mind, but he had nothing.
After a long time, Ying Yu finished talking about her past. Wang Yan said again, "Just now, when you closed your eyes and waited for death, other than the song you were singing, did you think of anything else?"
"Of course I did."
"What did I think of?"
"When I think of the past, I sigh at my misery. When I think of the future, I look forward to the beautiful days ahead. Unfortunately, my soul is broken in an instant, and everything is gone. I can only blame 'there are too many heartless people in the martial world'."
At this point, Ying Yu raised her head and looked at Xia He. There was an indescribable bitterness in her eyes. When Xia He met her gaze, he could not help but dodge it. However, he then held the hilt of his sword tightly as if he was fighting with himself.
However, Wang Yan nodded and finally asked, "If I let you leave today, what will you do in the future?"
Ying Yu seemed to have a plan for the future. Without thinking, she said, "Ying Yu has often heard that the White Lotus Holy Sect has saved the world from disaster. Now, a White Lotus Holy Sect has come to Chain City to the west. Ying Yu wants to go and take a look. My only hope is that I can be saved by that White Lotus Holy Sect. From then on, I will leave the mortal world and learn some martial arts. That way, I will have some ability to protect myself in this chaotic world."
Hearing Ying Yu's words, Wang Yan could not help but shake his head and said, "In the end, people can only save themselves."
After saying this, he did not wait for Ying Yu's response and turned to look at Xia He. He said, "Brother Xia, do you have an answer in mind?"
Xia He did not answer. He only sheathed his sword and stood there silently with his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking. Seeing this, Wang Yan turned to look at Ying Yu. Then, he took out a short sword from the spoils of war and handed it to her. He said, "Go. I hope that you will be on your own in the future."
Ying Yu's body trembled slightly. It seemed that she did not expect Wang Yan to give her a short sword. After receiving it, she immediately bowed to Wang Yan and said, "Ying Yu thanks benefactor for the gift of the sword."
With that, she stood up and glanced at Xia He faintly. Then, she turned around and walked off into the distance. Very soon, her entire person disappeared into the night.
"I should also leave."
Now that everything was over, Wang Yan did not want to stay any longer. However, at this time, Xia He raised his head and looked in the direction that Ying Yu had left. He said, "Brother Wang, Xia He will remember your advice today. I have indeed thought wrongly in the past.
Although there are many low-level NPCs with simple loops of intelligence in this game, and they are no different from experience monsters in other games, high-intelligence NPCs are still different. They have their own logic, thinking, and conscious behavior. In their eyes, this world is real. They were born and raised here, and they have a deep belief in practicing martial arts. They also love their own lives. These NPCs are not illusory. The emotions and thoughts that they inadvertently reveal can be felt by people. It is wrong to deliberately ignore their existence. "
At this point, Xia He's gaze became deep. He murmured, "I don't know if Brother Wang has noticed that low-level NPCs are actually very easy to deal with. The martial arts that they use are completely routine. Even their attack routes are predetermined. It is completely predictable.
"However, high-intelligence NPCs are different. They engrave their martial arts into their bones, and all their moves are based on the situation. However, due to the individual's ability, there are strong and weak ones. Whether it is Wei Xiaofeng or the old man in the Qiming Tower, their martial arts are not routine. From this point alone, these high-intelligence NPCs are fundamentally different from other NPCs.
"And I think that the martial arts of players are more similar to the skills of other games. Although they can be used according to the situation and can be used according to the mood, it is still too rigid. Perhaps if you do not truly integrate into this world and understand the essence of martial arts, it will be very difficult for you to become a top expert."
This was not the first time Wang Yan had heard players divide NPCs into high and low levels. However, he had never analyzed it from Xia He's point of view before. Wang Yan could not help but recall the Odd Job Disciples that he had interacted with in the Aojian Villa. He felt that people like Fang Jiannian and Liu Xiangyi always seemed to repeat the same words and do the same things over and over again. Occasionally, they would spar with others in the training field, but it was the same thing over and over again. Could it be that this is the so-called simple loop of intelligence? Everything that they do is predetermined by someone? Then are they lifeless?
As this thought appeared in his mind, Wang Yan felt that his understanding of this world had become clearer. As for the essence of martial arts that Xia He had mentioned, Wang Yan had his own opinion. After receiving guidance from Mother Dragon, Wang Yan felt that martial arts were a kind of materialization of the rules of this world. The use of martial arts was the use of the rules themselves. The reason why superior martial arts were powerful was because superior martial arts involved more and more rules, and it was not easy for people to understand. Therefore, it required an extremely high level of comprehension.
Thoughts appeared in his mind one after another. Wang Yan felt that he had become extraordinarily clear. Vaguely, his heart was once again filled with the wondrous feeling he had when he had escaped from Wang Mocheng's group of bandits and practiced his sword in the forest. With this in mind, Wang Yan did not delay any longer. After agreeing on a time and place to meet up with Xia He, he used his lightness skill and flew into the distance.
