just western poison

One: "

Ashes of time", the English name of "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". A story of pursuit and rejection, memory and escape.

The story may have nothing to do with martial arts, or love, or just a series of ravings, a beautiful dream. In the deserted Gobi desert, except for the yellow sand in the sky, people are passing by. At this time, people can be very close or far apart. As if in the dark night, I heard Leslie Cheung babbling intoxicated, pretending to be a monologue. I remember the expression on his face when he persuaded others to use the killer at the beginning, only then did he know what it means to be amazed! A post-modern classic face, a pair of lonely eyes, but a cowardly heart and a desperate feeling are hidden in it. Whether it is Western poison or Dongxie, or blind warrior, Hong Qi, Taohua, or a woman carrying an egg, everyone's feelings in the story are pushed to the point of suffocating loneliness. There is no disappointment, only boundless despair and long-hidden enthusiasm that can erupt at any time.

I remember reading this sentence: "Every indifferent face hides enthusiasm, but some people spend it as a regular daily expense, while some people never use it at ordinary times. Once enthusiasm erupts, it will last for many years. Accumulate and pay..." The man finally exhausted his enthusiasm at one time, and finally drank "Drunk Life and Dream Death", and finally had nothing.



Two: "Western Drug is the Winner"

Western Drug, a person who reads narration, a person in a cage, a person who should not exist.

The bamboo-woven birdcage is very large, and the messy light passes through the messy bamboo weave, and the rotating shadows shine on people's faces, turning not only people but also people's hearts.

He has no habit of drinking, at most drinking a small cup by himself when it is unpleasant, and has never been drunk, and never wants to get drunk. When the mood comes, drink a jar or two of white wine, the spicy taste makes him not want to touch the glass again. Memories take up the most space, but unfortunately no one is willing to give up even the most painful memories, just like people dare not get drunk.

A dilapidated inn without a single guest, a western drug inn, a swordsman in shoes can be charged much higher, how much can a dilapidated inn be called?

Dongxie and Xidu, Nandi Beijia, Zhong Shentong, and Xidu are one of the five people. Needless to say, martial arts, but unfortunately there is no knife in his hand, and a top swordsman uses a knife again.

He has no habit of helping others, just watching, watching a person's beginning, watching a person's fall, just watching, even if he can save people with a single word, but he doesn't, because he is just a middleman , the intermediary between demons and men, who buys the soul of man for pleasure, and the pleasure of absorbing it keeps him that way. The dead tell us the most because they don't lie, and the living tell more lies than the truth.

So West poison can live.

He doesn't have the habit of believing, and he's used to listening to someone's words but not listening to them. But whether he heard it or not, as long as he was alive. He likes to watch someone tell a lie and not pick it out, and then watch the liar take pleasure.

Xidu did not drink that wine, I think he is right, free people can leave freely, but freedom comes at a price. People just changed the weights from left to right, but the scales didn't change. If you can't forget it, don't happen. It may be a good thing to be quiet.



Three: "Just West Poison"

West Poison is just West Poison, the killer agent with an indifferent face, the lonely man who guards the dilapidated small hotel and is jealous of everyone's happiness, the one who used to be unruly but now lives with tolerance man. A man who can only hide behind the screen and silently narrate.

You are also just you, the person who wears glasses, plugs the earphones and carries a big schoolbag, the person who brushes past everyone in a hurry and ignores the happiness of others, the child who used to be innocent and lovely, but now is hypocritical and sophisticated. A child who can only stay at the end of the screen and listen to the narration.

Sensitive people know how to protect themselves but lose the protection of others.

Once you never looked at others with your eyes, because you didn't trust them, because you didn't want people to see the real things in your eyes; now you look straight into their eyes, because you know that no one cares about what you see in your eyes , your happiness, sadness, excitement, sadness, because there has never been, everyone just lives in their own world.

In fact, you don’t know that Xidu has always dared to see with his eyes, because he knows that only people who care about themselves can see the truth in their own eyes, and of course he also knows that the person who used to be no longer exists...
