When I was a child, I watched the "Kung Fu" movie, and there was a sentence that impressed Tang Ning deeply.

"This young man, I see that your bones are strange, and the responsibility of saving the world will be handed over to you."

The so-called bone Qingqi, Tang Ning has never figured out what is going on. But now Liu Ling obviously thinks that Wu Sheng is a young man with a clear skeleton.

After a while, he put Wu Sheng on the ground. Wu Sheng rushed over and hugged Liu Ling's thigh, opened his mouth to bite, but was held down by Liu Ling.

"Can I take this kid with me?" Liu Ling looked at Tang Ning expectantly.

Tang Ning called Wu Sheng over, asked him to stand beside him, and then said with a smile: "This is not good, I just bought this kid for ten taels of silver at noon today." ”

Liu Ling frowned and said: "Following you is just a tyrannical thing, I will take him away, his future future is limitless." ”

Tang Ning shrugged and said, "Actually, it's not impossible, you ask him yourself." ”

"I'm not going! I'm going to serve the master of the house! ”

So Tang Ning smiled and said to Liu Ling: "You also heard it, it's not that I stopped it, it's that he himself doesn't want to follow you." ”

Liu Ling waved his hand irritably and said, "Don't talk about this, this time, I have something to look for you." ”

Tang Ning nodded at this time, and whispered something to Liu Yi'er, who still hadn't figured out what the situation was, and Liu Yi'er took Xiao Wu Sheng with a look of death and went to the backyard together.

Tang Ning and Liu Ling sat down together, and the first thing Liu Ling said after sitting down was: "I'm leaving, I've been in Runzhou for too long, it's time to go back to Beijing to resume my life." ”

Liu Ling's status in Tang Ning's heart is very complicated, if Tang Ning doesn't like Liu Ling, it is false. If there was no person like Liu Ling accompanying Tang Ning when he was in Nanshanzhai, every minute and every second of the panicked days would be a kind of torture.

But Liu Ling was the emperor's secret agent, and this person himself had extremely strong political tendencies. He was good to Tang Ning, not because of how talented Tang Ning was, nor because of Tang Ning's bones, but because he hoped that Tang Ning could work hard for the emperor like himself.

However, since Tang Ning knew that he was in the Song Dynasty, he didn't think about serving the emperor at all. In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the names of the six traitorous ministers were too famous, and although Zhao Xu was an extremely powerful emperor, what was hidden under his personal aura was endless party strife.

Since Ouyang Xiu's case of picking up ashes, the attacks between the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty have become bottomless. The Wutai poetry case is even more dangerous for everyone, for fear that a sentence that he accidentally said will be far-fetched and become evidence of great disrespect.

Tang Ning felt that he was a person like a white rabbit, and he couldn't even survive two episodes when he jumped up.

Therefore, although Tang Ning is grateful to Liu Ling and regards Liu Ling as his good friend, he is always working against Liu Ling. This was the only way he could think of to disappoint Liu Ling to himself.

So Tang Ning arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to Liu." ”

Liu Ling sighed and said, "If it weren't for you, I don't know what year and month this trip would have been completed." Tang Ning, do you really not want to be an official? Although we are now implementing the imperial examination system, our Wu Desi also has the responsibility of discovering talents.

If you want to become an official in the court, when I return to Beijing, I will show the official family, and the official family will not treat you badly. ”

"Forget it, they're all old foxes who eat people and don't spit out bones. I just want to live a good life and spread my master's knowledge. What are you going to do with them? You'd better spare me. ”

"In that case, then I won't force it." Liu Ling nodded, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

This made Tang Ning a little surprised, a while ago, Liu Ling was still trying his best to bewitch himself. How did it change today?

"That kid, can you give it to me?" Liu Ling changed the topic and returned to Wu Sheng.

Tang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know why I spent fifteen taels of silver to buy the remains of a weak boy and an old woman? ”

Liu Ling nodded and shook his head again.

Downing's palms were spread over his knees, clenched into fists, and spread out again. He looked at his palm and said in a low voice: "After living in Nanshanzhai for more than a year, I feel that the anger in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

When I saw the women and children who had been displaced by the Nanshan bandits, I hated to resurrect Han Xiong and Wang Qing and kill them with my own hands. Half a moon in the middle of the night dream, the dream is full of scenes of me holding a knife to slaughter.

You don't know what kind of torture this is for me.

My master taught me to be kind to others and to be good to myself. He also taught me to give roses to others and leave a lingering fragrance in my hands. But he didn't teach me cruelty, nor did he teach me to kill.

So I need to get rid of this anger, and doing good deeds is undoubtedly the best choice. Do you know, after I bought the bodies of Wu Sheng and his grandmother today and asked him to bury my grandmother, I was in a very good mood, as if the depression that had been stuffed in my chest these days was suddenly discharged. ”

Liu Ling was silent, even after living in Nanshanzhai for two years, he had an urge to act recklessly, not to mention a child like Tang Ning.

Human beings are born with the desire to be free, to live freely, to eat and drink freely, and to do what they want to do.

Some people are free to do good things that are applauded, while others are free to do bad things that are abhorrent.

This can't be done, you can't let those bad people do evil.

So an unwritten set of unspoken rules emerged, which tells people what to do and what not to do.

However, there are still some people who ignore the rules and continue to do evil. At this time, the law is needed to restrain people, praise the good people, and punish the bad people.

And the robbers' den is precisely the gathering of the most people in the world who don't take the law seriously. They believe in morbid freedom and make breaking the rules the happiest thing to do.

A place where all the sins of the world are gathered, and the bacteria that breed can easily pollute the people who live in this place.

Tang Ning came from an era thousands of years later, in that era, people used a lot of methods to keep 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality', but these ten words are still getting farther and farther away.

The concept of morality, the concept of right and wrong, completely depends on a person's self-cultivation, not from the requirements of society.

Tang Ning, who has lived in the robber's den for more than a year and witnessed too many tragic things in the world, although the three views have not been destroyed, they are almost there.

Now, it is the time when Tang Ning is extremely difficult and most confused.

Under this delicate and kind appearance, only he knows what kind of demon is hidden inside.

So he kept himself busy, whether it was making soybean oil, or making liquor, or waiting to see Shen Kuo's jokes, it was a way not to think of that demon.

I couldn't calm down anymore when I was reading, and I dreamed that I had killed someone in the middle of the night, and when I got up, I didn't even feel any psychological burden, and I didn't even feel guilty, which almost made Tang Ning collapse.

Liu Ling looked at the sad Tang Ning and sighed: "I will find a way, but I still have to take Wu Sheng away, that kid is a good material for martial arts, and now he is still young, and his bones are not finalized, it is a good time to polish." ”

"Take it away, take it away, he can become successful, and it is not in vain that I spent this fifteen taels of silver." I'll throw his deeds into the stove when I go home, so treat him well. Downing stood up and whispered, then went to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

"By the way, I haven't found the person you asked me to find, but someone is in charge, and he will contact you if there is news, don't worry."

Tang Ning's footsteps paused, and finally did not stop.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Ling actually saw a hint of loneliness in this not tall back.

"The layout of your yard is not good, this tree is a sleepy word." Liu Ling suddenly shouted.

"I don't believe in fate!" Downing replied loudly.

………………

Wu Sheng was taken away by Liu Ling under his armpit, and his crying was so tragic that even the people in Mengxi Garden looked out curiously.

But those servants were cheaper, and the short maids could only ride on top of their heads if they wanted to look out.

Before leaving, Liu Ling glanced at the old man sitting on the steps of his house and smiled at him. The old man also grinned toothlessly, and then watched Liu Ling ride on the horse, all the way to the dust.
