Chapter 40: Martial Arts and Taoism (4)
Compared with the barbarian cook, the old gentleman's high quality is simply better than tens of thousands of miles away. Moreover, the barbarian cook is unpredictable, and it seems that he has ulterior motives for accepting him as an apprentice, and the old gentleman's desire to accept an apprentice is obviously more sincere and important.
"I let you out today, I just want you to see the misery of this world, and Lao Tzu's martial arts is to eliminate evil. The barbarian cook said solemnly.
The white-bearded old man said: "Killing evil cannot change people's hearts, and if people's hearts remain unchanged, the way of the world will not change." Today may prevent evil, but there are more sins happening at the same time, when you let more people change evil into good, it is the great merit of the reader, in order to truly make the world beautiful. Who's right and who's wrong, you have to ask your own heart. ”
Who's right and who's wrong?
Making the world a better place?
Liu Heng calmed down, swept away all the distractions, pondered quietly, thinking about the scenes he saw today, the domineering and ruthlessness of the barbarian cook, and the influence and truth of the old gentleman, which seemed to be the most real manifestation of Tao and martial arts.
"Whose approach do I prefer?"
This self-question, he suddenly woke up, it turned out that he had the answer from the beginning, "Old man, there is a sentence in the article "Autumn Water", Zi Fei Yu knows the joy of fish? Since the old man is looking at people's hearts, why not ask these suffering people, maybe they have their own answers. ”
I'm not a fish, how can I know if the fish is happy or not? I'm not these people of Great Xia, how can I know if they want to forgive their sins in their hearts?
The old gentleman was thoughtful, and he also wanted to see people's own choices.
The people of Great Xia fell to their knees, and suddenly they were noticed by everyone, they were flattered, and they were even more at a loss, and everyone was nervous inexplicably.
Liu Heng looked at them fixedly, "These Beihu people are going to reform and beg for your forgiveness, if you are given a chance, what kind of fairness do you want?"
"Fair?"
The people of Great Xia looked at each other, looked at the barbarian cook and the old gentleman cautiously, waited for a long time, and did not see them speak, as if they were also waiting for their answers, and gradually became bolder.
"Is it really fair?" asked a child, tentatively.
Liu Heng looked at the wild cook and the old gentleman, and replied affirmatively: "Really." ”
The child raised his head suddenly, looking at the group of Beihu people, his immature face was full of anger, "If there is really fairness, my mother was killed by them, and I want to avenge my mother!"
These words seemed to be sparks that fell into the oil pot, and countless people of Great Xia suddenly broke out.
"These Beihu dogs, kill people and ask others for forgiveness, is it that if I kill their parents, they will also forgive me?"
"My only child was beheaded and cut off by them, how can I forgive?"
"My lady was stripped naked by them and tortured to death, I want to pay for it with blood!"
"Xianggong was trampled to death by horses, I will never forget their laughter for the rest of my life, I can't wait to tear their faces and eat their flesh!"
"You can't take revenge, people are killed by them in vain, where is the fairness?"
The crowd was furious, and the scolding and cries were like a flood to drown the Beihu people, and their faces became more and more pale and frightened.
"Fairness?human hearts?" The scene in front of him made the old gentleman stunned. saved the lives of nearly 1,000 people, and also reborn the conscience of these Beihu people, he thought he was doing good deeds, but he didn't expect the people to be so aggrieved. Such a human heart is obviously very different from what he thinks, and he can't help but fall into deep thought.
The barbarian chef was very proud, and the students behind the old gentleman were suddenly unhappy, "How can these people be like this, they don't know how to repay their grievances with virtue!"
"What's wrong with Mr., if it wasn't for Mr. to make a move, they would have all been killed a long time ago, and they are greedy for revenge, they really shouldn't have been saved!"
"How dare they talk like that if they weren't there?"
"Everyone is like this, they don't know the righteousness, and the world has long collapsed. ”
Hearing them speak, the condemnation of the people of Great Xia came to an abrupt end, and they all lowered their heads and kowtowed.
"I am grateful that my life was saved by the old gentleman, but it cannot be confused with the sins of the Beihu people. Liu Heng bowed deeply and said softly: "I don't think the old gentleman is wrong, on the contrary, I respect the realm that the old gentleman is pursuing, beautiful and lofty, and everyone hopes that such a sinless world will come." ”
"The old gentleman is a big man, what you do is the world, hundreds of millions of people. And I, like them, are ordinary people who are not worth mentioning in this muddy world, we have no noble character, we may be very selfish, we can only see what is in front of us and what we are. All I know is that if there is no punishment for wrongdoing, if you can't pay for it with blood, there will be no fairness!"
"I only know that let's repay our grievances with virtue for the sake of the so-called righteousness and the beauty of the world, I can't do it!"
He pulled out the boning knife behind his back, and when Lang shouted, he also raised the knife and cut off the head of the Beihu person in front of him. Blood splattered, his face did not change, this was the first time he killed by himself, but he did not feel unbearable, but was slightly excited, only felt that his mind was clear, and he was extremely happy.
The barbarian cook laughed, seeing that Liu Heng had earned face for himself, it was more pleasing to the eye to look at Liu Heng.
The Beihu people were all frightened and wanted to run, but the barbarian cook glared, like a flash of divine light, dozens of people suddenly stiffened, their bodies were cold, their minds were tingling and blank, and they fell to the ground stupidly.
Liu Heng didn't hesitate after making a move, and went down with a knife, as if he had cut meat thousands of times in half a month, precise and crisp. Everywhere he walked, all that remained was a limp body and a falling head, covered in blood.
"This young man, is he so murderous?"
"Killing people is like slaughtering a dog, you really have to do it......"
The old gentleman's students widened their eyes, shocked by this bloody scene, and also made unbelievable by Liu Heng's choice.
The old gentleman didn't stop him, sighed and stood up and bowed slightly, "I didn't expect that I didn't have a teenager who could understand it, but he taught me the truth." I thought that everyone had a good heart, repented of their sins, forgave their sins, and made the world beautiful, but I didn't expect how many people would need to lose their fairness, how cruel is this?"
"Sir!"
"Teacher!"
This bow was not trivial, it meant that the old gentleman admitted that he had made a mistake in his pursuit, and his originally stable Dao heart was even in danger of shattering. Before I came, I thought it was a trivial matter, but no one thought that it would eventually cause such a dangerous impact, and the students were frightened and worried.
"I'm fine. Under the meaningful gaze of the barbarian cook, the old gentleman stabilized his figure, looked deeply at Liu Heng, who was still killing, and pondered for a moment, the corners of his lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something private with the barbarian cook.
The begging eyes of the Beihu people did not move Liu Heng, and he didn't feel that there should be the slightest mercy in his heart, one by one the sinful Beihu people died under his knife, only to see the blood of the people of Daxia excited, so excited that they couldn't help but shout.
"Well killed!"
"The little immortal walks for the heavens, let's go back and set up a monument to your immortality, chanting and praying every day!"
"These brutes should have been killed a long time ago!"
"Xie Xiaoxian avenged us, great kindness, I dare not forget it for the rest of my life!"
Dozens of heads, dozens of lives, directly killed Liu Heng's soft hands, covered in blood, like a bloodthirsty demon, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no dissatisfaction or regret.
On the top of the city tower, the guards who had been silent for too long all had complicated expressions when they saw this scene, maybe they felt guilty or angry. It should have been their duty, but they were strictly ordered by the adults to stop it, and instead watched a young man kill the enemies of Beihu for them and defend the people, I really can't tell what it feels like in my heart.
"Two adults, outside the city should be the nephew of General Beihu Huyan's great favorite, and all the guards were killed under my Linshun City, wouldn't it be a disaster for my Linshun City?"
"This is the North City Shogun General. The general introduced the city guard and glanced at him, "General Sun, according to what you said, what should I do?"
Being ignored like this, the city guard's face was not good-looking, and he was not his subordinate, so his tone was not so kind, "Isn't this the general who avoided the war before? I just heard you scold that young man is quite powerful, since the consequences are so serious, why don't General Sun go down and cut off the heads of these people, so as to make amends to General Beihu Huyan?"
It's just a joke!
General Sun was speechless for a moment, even the highest cultivation generals and city guards in the city were so jealous, and even did not hesitate to spend huge military funds to open the city defense array, it can be seen how strong the white-bearded and fierce warriors under the city are, wouldn't he be sent to death?
It's just that he can't see that kid showing his face like this, he is envious and jealous in his heart, and he seems to have a feeling of being humiliated, so he will complain, who would have thought that he would be ridiculed and squeezed by this time. The contempt of the colleagues around him, the disgusted eyes of the general, his face turned red, and he was really ashamed and angry.
"I can't beat it. ”
Although he was looking for it himself, after all, it was his subordinate, and the general gave him some face, quickly changed the topic, and rejoiced: "If such a character really starts fighting, our city will inevitably be unjustified, and it is reassuring to send it away early." ”
"It's strange that the amazing news of Yongsui Prefecture has attracted many high-level people from all over the world to come, not only our Linshun City, but also how many places nearby are not peaceful. This kind of existence has passed through the border, and the slightest friction is a catastrophe that destroys the world, which is really worrying and difficult to sleep. ”
The castle guard sighed and was worried, "I just hope that the place will not be affected too much, and this matter will pass as soon as possible." ”
The general agreed, and then motioned to the city guard to look at Liu Heng with his chin, and said thoughtfully: "This young man, what do you think?"
"Let two such beings fight with all their might, this young man must have something extraordinary, maybe you and I can't be in the realm, I can't see it, but this news has to be reported to the authorities quickly, so that the adults can pay attention to it." ”
Seeing the group go away in the gratitude and retention of the people of Great Xia, the city guard stroked his long beard, "It should be my person from Great Xia...... It is a dereliction of duty for us to be so proud that Tianjiao has not been able to stay in our court, and I am afraid that I will lose a pillar of the country in the future, which is really a pity to think about. ”
"I will command him to go down and send someone to find out what he is doing. ”
