Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

"Primary school students always envy adults' maturity and sophistication, but adults sometimes envy primary school students..." Ling Wuji said something immediately after hearing Yuigahama Yui's words, but at the end he still habitually considered the words and said, "Natural quality?"

Ling Wuji certainly wouldn't say that primary school students are innocent.

Sometimes, the malice unconsciously revealed by elementary school students is even more serious than that of adults.

Because the elders themselves know the limits, but the primary school students do not understand where the boundaries are.

But perhaps it is precisely because the elderly know the boundaries and will consider the consequences of things, they have to face more and more problems, and the constraints of reality on themselves and the consequences to consider are also increasing. That is why they envy the carefreeness of elementary school students, because elementary school students do not need to consider so many problems, or the troubles that elementary school students have to face are really too thin for the elderly.

Although Ling Wu Ji felt that young people might not really be ignorant of the taste of sorrow, because for the small world they live in, even the slightest sorrow is enough to overwhelm the rest. However, for people at the level of "I say the cool weather is a good autumn", this little sorrow can naturally only be used to "force sorrow to write new poems".

When Ling Wu Ji said this, the people around him looked at him strangely, as if they had not expected that he would have such a delicate side.

But Yukinoshita Yukino still started a conversation with him as if they were discussing an academic issue: "Just like the 'Besieged City'? People outside the city always want to get in, and people inside the city also want to get out. What you can't get is always the best?"

"Maybe," Ling Wuji said, "Although I think it's more like a psychological compensation mechanism, because I feel that my present or past self can always do better, so I want my future or present self to replace my present or past self..."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately held her forehead with a headache: "Isn't it possible that only you can understand your messed up tenses and references?"

"Anyway," Ling Wuji just raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just some kind of inferiority complex, although it doesn't make any sense."

However, Ling Wuji's words were not accurate, because in a sense he predicted what would happen next -

After Hayato Hayama finished his speech, the elementary school students started the so-called camping activity such as hiking and racing, and Shizuka Hiratsuka asked them to go to the end point of the activity in advance to prepare lunch. Then on the way, they encountered a situation where someone in the team was being excluded, and Hayato Hayama stepped forward at the right time and wanted to help the elementary school student named Tsurumi Rumi to resolve this predicament and let her return to her classmates, but his idea of ​​everyone getting along well did not work. Even though he used the experience of an elder to guide those students, they still maintained their original, almost exclusionary attitude.

So, after saying goodbye, Ling Wuji noticed that a layer of gloom covered Hayato Hayama's usually sunny and cheerful face.

And Yukinoshita Yukino's expression didn't look very good either.

Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "Is this Ye Shan's act of compensation?"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

"But for you, you want to do something too, right?"

"There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. I don't think that was me back then," Yukinoshita's statement was in a sense a confession, although she knew that Ling Wuji couldn't hide this from her. "But for Ye Shan, he might have some grudges."

"so?"

"Why?"

"Aren't you going to take this opportunity to reconcile with him?"

Let Wu Ji speak.

Yukinoshita Yukino just sighed deeply: "Why should I reconcile with him? There was no misunderstanding between him and me back then. The relationship has become like this, of course, it is our common choice, or it is my own choice, and I don't regret this decision, because people like him can't save anyone."

"So you plan to save that Tsurumi Rumi?"

"of course."

Yukinoshita Yukino said decisively.

"Okay, you two," Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the two boys and girls who were left behind strangely. For a moment, she didn't understand what Ling Wuji was trying to do. Although she vaguely felt that the relationship between the two people seemed to have become subtle recently, it was probably due to the relationship between Ling Wuji and Yukinoshita Haruno. But after seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel that the relationship between the two people seemed a little dangerous. "Come over and get ready!"

Then the two of them ended the conversation immediately as if no one was around.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced suspiciously at Ling Wuji, then shook her head:

Probably not?

Ling Wuji is the kind of person who is true to his own desires.

So for someone like Ling Wuji who has never done housework and only cares about eating at fast food restaurants, he has never taken home economics class properly. Of course, peeling a pear is just a small test for someone like Ling Wuji who has almost reached perfection in swordsmanship - he can even peel off the skin of a pear with just a stroke of his hand. The people around him were amazed to see that he could peel the skin of a pear with just a casual stroke. Only Yukinoshita Yukino was still unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to be faster than him, but she almost got injured, so she could only look at Ling Wuji in frustration.

Of course, Ling Wuji had no intention of using this to attract other people's attention.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka saw that he was actually working honestly, she immediately said, "Student Ling, can't you just do it if you want to?"

Ling Wuji just rolled his eyes.

"what do you mean?"

“There are so many things I can do if I want to.”

From Shizuka Hiratsuka's perspective, it was hard for her to refute this statement, but she still said, "But don't you hate this kind of labor? Learning to adapt to this kind of work you don't like is also a necessary step in becoming an adult."

"You don't need to tell me."

Ling Wuji just peeled the pear while talking.

Although he doesn't need to consider this issue.

On the other hand, Yuigahama Yui was a complete disaster for the kitchen, so she was sent away by Yukinoshita Yukino, while the Hikigaya siblings helped while chatting, and the four members of the current group went to distribute lunch boxes. It can be said that everyone was doing their job and having fun, if you ignore the fact that both sides wanted to ignore each other.

But Ling Wuji was very clear that the two sides would soon come into conflict because of their respective positions and thinking.

On the issue of the ostracized Tsurumi Rumi.

This is absolutely certain.

Because Hayama and Yukinoshita Yukino obviously care about her very much, and both want to complete some kind of compensation for their childhood through her.

Volume 6: Death and Life in the Present: Chapter 22: Discussion

When it was time for dinner, Shizuka Hiratsuka arranged for them to make curry. Although Ling Wu Ji felt a little puzzled as to why Indian food was so popular in Japan, to be honest, he even felt a little nauseous looking at the pile of mushy stuff. However, he didn't say anything, but just obediently finished the work according to the teacher's instructions, and then was sent out to patrol and help the elementary school students.

Of course Ling Wuji didn't want to teach elementary school students.

So he just stood aside, watching the current group headed by Hayato Hayama moving around among the elementary school students with ease, and then, not surprisingly, they once again talked to the elementary school student named Tsurumi Rumi, and not surprisingly, was rejected by Tsurumi Rumi. Then, Tsurumi Rumi walked to Ling Wuzhi, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman who were standing quietly outside the crowd.

Surprisingly, Hikigaya Hachiman is even very good at dealing with elementary school students.

He actually managed to exchange names with Tsurumi Rumi, and they even called each other by their names.

Although when he heard Hikigaya Hachiman call Tsurumi Rumi, he always thought of the Chinese name "Liu Meijiang".

After they got to know each other, Hikigaya Hachiman had a thorough exchange of ideas with her about how most people in this world are idiots, and then Tsurumi Rumi said that she didn't want to communicate with the idiots around her, and didn't need memories of her elementary school days, and just wanted to make friends with people from other places after she entered junior high school.

Then her dream was shattered by Yukinoshita Yukino:

"People who went to school with you will also go to secondary school, and then you will be excluded along with people from other places."

When Tsurumi Rumi heard her words, she was silent for a moment. Then Yukinoshita asked her what happened, and she said it was just a temporary trend. She was ostracized as well because she said a lot to the people who had been ostracized before.

"So you still want friends?"

Let Wu Ji speak.

Tsurumi Rumi didn't know how to answer and just remained silent.

Then Ling Wuji looked at Yukinoshita Yukino thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and said, "Frankly speaking, I don't know if you understand what I'm saying, but there's a saying that goes, 'Nobility is the epitaph of the noble, and meanness is the passport of the mean'..."

Not to mention elementary school students like Tsurumi Rumi, even high school students like Yuigahama Yui might not understand this sentence. Only Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino showed thoughtful expressions, and then Yukinoshita Yukino said: "You mean, if noble people refuse to go along with the crowd, they can only lie in the grave? But..."

It was obvious that Tsurumi Rumi didn't understand what Ling Wuji was saying.

So Ling Wuji could only try to make his point as easy to understand as possible: "If you think that the people around you are a bunch of idiots who only follow the atmosphere and don't want to be friends with them, then you will continue to be in this situation, because people with the same voice can respond to each other, and people with the same spirit can seek each other. People will only identify with people who are similar to themselves. This is the truth of this world. You can think they are stupid, but they will also feel sorry for you. If you don't want to be the only one in your situation and want to make friends, you can either find people like you or make yourself like them."

"similar?"

Tsurumi Rumi obviously prefers the former path.

"It's just that this is a very difficult road, because I have never seen someone who is so arrogant that he doesn't accept the people around him, but will also accept other arrogant people," Ling Wuji said, "To make an inappropriate analogy, it's like me and her."

Ling Wu Ji pointed at Yukinoshita Yukino.

Tsurumi Rumi's eyes immediately flickered between the two of them, then she dropped her gaze: "Even if it's like you guys, we're not friends?"

"Of course," Ling Wuji just nodded, "I don't even admit that she is a genius. I think she can't stand some of my behaviors, so the two of us are just able to talk to each other, and we can't be called friends at all. What you want to find is the kind of 'good friend' who can talk about everything like the person you communicated with before, right? Even though he turned around and excluded you..."

Tsurumi Rumi was silent for a long time, and then she said with a hint of tears in her voice:

"Will it always be like this?"

no doubt.

Ling Wuji just asserted it in his heart.

……

After all the elementary school students had dispersed, the high school students sitting together in the night were obviously still upset about what happened to that elementary school student, so Hayato Hayama took the lead and turned the topic to Tsurumi Rumi. Hiratsuka Shizuka asked him what he wanted to do, so Hayato Hayama said directly that he wanted to help her get out of this situation and wanted her to integrate into the group again.

Then Yukinoshita Yukino made it clear that he couldn't do it.

But Hayato Hayama said things are different now.

I guess he feels that he can finally materialize his past nightmares into the present, so the way he helps Tsurumi Rumi now is just like he was helping Yukinoshita back then?

Let the person without any illness think about it as if it has nothing to do with him.

Although everyone later unanimously agreed to help the elementary school student solve the problem.

But at this time, Shizuka Hiratsuka said that they should figure out a solution themselves and she was going back to sleep first.

Ling Wuji immediately sighed in a pretentious manner: "Although I know that you are not her teacher and have no responsibility or relationship here, is it really okay for you to do this? Throwing the problems of elementary school students to middle school students, and then saying that you want to go back to sleep, this is the education world in Japan..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's face suddenly froze.

Although it was not the first time she heard Ling Wuzhi's blunt sarcasm, it did not seem appropriate for her to throw the question to this group of students at the moment.

No matter how she looked at it, she had a responsibility to tell the person in charge of Tsurumi Rumi's class.

Although……

"I don't think teachers can play any role in this kind of cold violence without any real action."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"Then why do you think high school students can play a role?"

Ling Wu Ji immediately asked back.

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately looked at Ling Wuji with a headache, then sat back down. Seeing that everyone around them was looking straight at her and Ling Wuji, she said, "Then you guys continue the discussion. I'll add some opinions."

But it turns out that they are more restrained when Hiratsuka Shizuka is around.

Although Ling Wuzhi felt that if Hiratsuka Shizuka was not there, Yukinoshita Yukino would most likely have a fierce quarrel with the current team led by Hayama Hayato.

But with Shizuka Hiratsuka around, they were able to at least exchange ideas in a gentle manner, even though nothing was discussed in the end.

Volume 6: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter 23: Primary School Student's Problem

From a personal point of view, Ling Wuji didn't want to waste time on such psychological problems of elementary school students.

Because it really has nothing to do with him.

Even though, as he always said, "The shadow of childhood will become the starting point of the destruction of one's world", there is no evidence that if she is allowed to continue like that, she will definitely become the second Yukinoshita Yukino. Maybe one day in the future, she will find an opportunity to accept the status quo and no longer feel pain for being alone. Maybe she will have a friend like Yuigahama Yui, just like Yukinoshita does now.
