Chapter 581 You Have Made Changes
Shen He nodded slightly after hearing Paimong's words, and stretched out her slender fingers to take the "Rock and Stone Talks". Her fingers were white and slender, like white jade, shining softly in the sun. She gently turned the pages, her eyes focused and serious, and read word by word.
After a moment, Shen He slowly closed the book, her movements gentle and steady, as if she was closing not only a book, but also a dusty past. She raised her head and looked at everyone calmly, her eyes showing her usual calmness and composure, and said calmly: "In this case, let's go there immediately without further delay."
However, just as she finished her words, Yun Jin, who had been standing quietly by her side, suddenly took a step forward. This step was light and elegant, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere at the moment.
She was smiling, and that smile was gentle and sincere, like a flower blooming in spring, giving people a warm feeling. She raised her head slightly, looked at Shen He with a focused and hesitant look, and said softly:
"Miss Shen He, there is something I want to discuss with you. We just found the notes left by your father by chance in the village... After careful inspection, we found that there are many discrepancies in the work "The Goddess Splitting the Temple". You know, opera, as an art form, is derived from life but is higher than life, but the deviation this time is indeed obvious. So I wonder if these contents can be modified and adjusted? After all, you are here in person now, and you must have the most real and accurate understanding of this story. Moreover, the plot differences before and after the Goddess Splitting the Temple are indeed a bit too big. If they are not corrected, I am afraid it will cause misunderstandings to future generations." As she spoke, Yun Jin looked at Shen He expectantly, her eyes full of sincerity and respect. She folded her hands slightly in front of her, leaning forward slightly, as if conveying her inner importance and sincerity to Shen He, waiting for her response.
After listening to Yun Jin's words, Shen He frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and looked at Yun Jin quietly: "Why do you want to change it?" Shen He's eyes were clear and pure, and the confusion revealed in them was without any impurities.
After listening to Shen He's words, Yun Jin bit her lip lightly, and after a little thought, her eyes became softer and she replied firmly: "Didn't I say before that opera itself is an adaptation of reality. But the protagonist of the opera is right in front of me, and I can't ignore your feelings. I hope to present this story in the most authentic way so that future generations can understand the truth of the matter. After all, every story carries a piece of history and an emotion, and only true stories can allow people to draw real strength from them. Moreover, the right story may allow people to better understand you, and make your image in people's hearts more real and three-dimensional. Think about it, when people get to know the complete and real you, they may have a deeper respect and understanding for everything you have experienced, which is also good for the inheritance of this history and culture." Yun Jin's voice was soft and sincere.
After listening to Yun Jin's words, Shen He shook her head gently, her hair fluttering in the breeze. Her tone was still as calm as water, without any ups and downs: "It's okay, I like the version you just told me." Shen He's heart had actually long since let go of all the right and wrongs in the past. In her opinion, although the story in the opera was different from reality, it gave her a different kind of yearning. The courage and responsibility shown in that version of "The Goddess Splits the Temple" was what she longed to be like deep in her heart, so she didn't care about the difference between the opera and the facts.
After hearing Shen He's words, it was Yun Jin's turn to be stunned. Her eyes widened slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She was full of doubts: What was going on? How could someone not care about their story being modified by others? In Yun Jin's previous understanding, most people would be very concerned about the authenticity of the stories involving themselves, let alone such a big deviation. She really didn't understand why Shen He had such an idea. It was completely different from the reactions of people she had met before.
Her question was soon answered. Shen He raised his head slightly and looked at the mountains in the distance. There was a trace of yearning and longing in his eyes. He continued slowly: "Master once said that when I know how to use my strength for others, I can truly integrate into human society. So, I also hope that one day I can stand up and protect others like the one sung in the opera. The me in the opera is brave and determined. I will do anything to protect others. That's what I yearn for. I have never had such an idea before, and I don't know if I will have it in the future. But every time I think of the plot in the opera, I will have a force and want to be that kind of person. So, it doesn't matter to me whether I change or not. What's important is that it gives me a direction to move forward."
After listening to Shen He's words, Yun Jin suddenly realized. She realized that Shen He didn't care about the authenticity of the story, but the spirit and quality conveyed in the opera, which was the realm she longed to achieve. For Shen He, the character she wanted to be the most in the opera was the brave and fearless one who could protect others, even though she herself was not sure whether she could really do it in the future, but this had become a pursuit in her heart.
After thinking this through, Yun Jin smiled with relief. She gently patted Shen He's arm and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely come true." Yun Jin's smile was full of encouragement and warmth, as if there was a magical power that could give Shen He confidence. She believed that with Shen He's perseverance and kindness, one day he would realize his wish and become what she dreamed of.
After saying this, Yun Jin expressed her own opinion: "In fact, in my opinion, perhaps you have already made some changes, but you just need an "opportunity" to realize it. Look, you are now willing to find the secret stone with us, and are willing to work hard for possible results. How can this not be a change? Maybe one day in the future, when the real test comes, you will suddenly find that you have become the person you want to be." Yun Jin's eyes were full of anticipation. She looked at Shen He intently, wanting to see the potential deep in her heart through her eyes, hoping that Shen He could discover the changes that have taken place in himself as soon as possible.
