Chapter 273: Natural Selection of the Wise

"It's nice to have friends from afar, four of you, please come in!"

The wind in the courtyard seemed to have known their arrival, and the sound of a cuckoo sounded again. Liu Xun and the others were also mentally prepared, so they were only slightly stunned and generously pushed the door in.

This farm courtyard is very ordinary, Liu Xun looked up and found nothing unusual, only a slightly luxurious pavilion in the center of the courtyard was more abrupt and eye-catching.

And Tingfeng was sitting in the main seat of the pavilion at this time, facing Liu Xun and a few people. On the wine table of the gazebo, there are delicious wines and delicacies, as if waiting for the arrival of several distinguished guests.

"Do you know we're coming?" Feng Yuxiu asked with some curiosity, and he looked at the wind carefully. Tingfeng's face was very white, like a dead fish face, expressionless, but those eyes were extremely smart, as bright as pearls in river mussels, so they couldn't be said to be weird.

Listening to the wind was noncommittal, his eyes seemed to be smiling, but his facial muscles did not beat in the slightest, he stood up and saluted everyone: "The junior has seen a few seniors in the wind!"

Feng Yuxiu saw that he didn't respond to himself, so he shook his hand in front of Tingfeng's eyes, and the civilians in the dead city knew that Tingfeng was blind, but Liu Xun and the others faced Tingfeng head-on for the first time, but they couldn't believe that this person was really blind, because those eyes were too smart, and they were more beautiful and clear than women's eyes.

However, Liu Xun was still thinking about Tingfeng's words, because if they were of the same age, and Tingfeng's identity as a demon beast had been roughly confirmed, so the actual age was still to be discussed, but it was difficult to call them seniors.

Of course, Liu Xun didn't lose his courtesy, and hurriedly hugged his fists in return: "Young Master Tingfeng is too modest, your status is noble, and if you are similar to me and even more cultivators, you should be commensurate with your peers, why don't you call Brother Feng?"

Liu Xun's words were also mixed with a little mystery, and he called both sides cultivators, not cultivators, and the implication was that he had already picked out the identity of listening to the wind.

Hearing the wind and didn't reply positively, he turned to look at Feng Yuxiu and said with a smile: "Brother Ren, don't be tempted, I suffered from eye disease when I was young, and these eyes have been blind for more than 20 years!"

Feng Yuxiu was taken aback, as if the thief who was doing something bad had been caught, so he had to say haha to him, and listened to the wind with his right hand to make an invitation, signaling everyone to sit down.

He said softly: "Today's dead city is like this majestic rain, crumbling, how many people enter the city at this time and don't know what to do?"

Liu Xun replied with a smile: "The sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, which is the so-called wealth and danger. This dead city may be a flood beast in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of a few of us, it is a mountain of gold and silver!"

"Oh, so a few of you are here for money?"

Tingfeng raised his wine glass and handed it to Liu Xun, and Liu Xun saw the hands clearly.

If you look at these hands alone, everyone will think that they are a pair of beautiful hands, because they are so perfect, they are like a piece of naturally formed mutton fat jade, a beautiful jade that even the most dexterous craftsmen in heaven and earth dare not carve.

Anyone's hands will be defective, either too black or too white, too big or too wide. Even Lin Wanqing's hands, which made Liu Xun dream, have a thin layer of light calluses due to long-term medicine collection, or the youthful and lively Qiao Yanran also has a trace of sharpness in her hands due to her personality, or Huo Nianjun's petite and lovely.

But the hands in front of him were so flawless, even the jade wine glass was eclipsed under his hands, Liu Xun took the wine glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "How is this wine?"

Liu Xun replied: "Wine needs someone who understands him, but it's a pity that I, Liu Xun, don't understand wine!"

Tingfeng shook his head lightly, sighed and said, "It's a pity to do this!"

Liu Xun turned to continue: "I don't know about wine, but I know these dishes!

Listening to the wind, he slowly raised his head, and his smart eyes seemed to have a thousand words: "It's even more a pity if you do this!"

However, Liu Xun had already picked up the chopsticks, tasted it to himself, and muttered: "It's really a pity!"

The conversation between the two was inexplicable, which made the other three people stunned and didn't know how to interject, Liu Xun hurriedly greeted as if he remembered the three of them: "You guys also hurry up and eat, it's really a pity if you don't eat again!"

Listening to the wind, he also smiled and greeted everyone, but the face was still expressionless, and several people looked happy as if they were gathering friends, and only Liu Xun's right eye flashed with a faint red glow.

After three rounds of drinking, Tingfeng turned around and said: "Brother Liu, don't play dumb riddles anymore, Tingfeng knows that you are here for five people! But it's a pity that you came late, and now they are no longer in the dead city!"

Liu Xun's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, his face was instantly gloomy, and several other people also looked at each other with solemn expressions, but they didn't expect Tingfeng to be so straightforward.

Tingfeng continued: "But don't worry, they are safe now!"

"Say, what do you want?" Liu Xun asked in a deep voice, he didn't need too much disguise and tricks in front of smart people, otherwise he would fall behind.

Tingfeng laughed and said, "You think I imprisoned them?"

Liu Xun replied: "I don't rule out this possibility!"

Tingfeng shook his head, as if he was a little annoyed, "I thought you were an interesting person!"

"The Pole Breaking Cannon is the hard work of my five senior brothers, and you can actually trick it, so you are an interesting person!"

Listening to the wind, he said: "The Pole Breaking Cannon is top secret, do you think I can trick it? I can't hide it, this Pole Breaking Cannon was personally forged for me!"

Liu Xun sneered: "I know that my five senior brothers are human beings, and their hearts cannot be shaken by their power and beauty!"

Listening to the wind nodded: "So you are a boring person!"

Liu Xun was noncommittal, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what do you want?"

Tingfeng gently picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and continued: "You are really a boring person. ”

Feng Yuxiu, who was watching the two of them playing dumb riddles on the side, couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart anymore, and he said with some displeasure: "I thought you were still a cheerful person, but I didn't expect you to be even more twisted than a girl!"

Hearing the wind, he turned to Liu and asked: "I have lived in Baiguling since I was a child, where etiquette is broken, lawlessness, birds and beasts eat children, insects devour husbands, and there are wars, what should the husband want?"

Tingfeng is the son of the lord of the dead city, so he naturally cares about governing the country.

Liu Xun was silent for a while and said: "Things follow because of them, things move because of them, the law of heaven and earth makes all things natural, and even has to do it naturally, meaning nothing to make things natural, so that things and I can be at ease, good at teaching without words, and making people self-transformed." ”

Listening to the wind's face did not change the slightest emotion from beginning to end, but the eyes at that time seemed to be full of sarcasm and disdain, "People are lazy, noble and lowly, if they do nothing to rule, then what are the people who are promising? Hard-working people are lazy, virtuous people are afraid of sinister, and people are unjust in heaven." When the profit is at the head, everyone flocks to it, and if there is selfish interest, it looks like a god!"

Liu Xun retorted: "There are many taboos in the world, but the people are poor; there are many people with sharp weapons, and the country is faint; there are many people with tricks and tricks, and strange things arise; laws and regulations are flourished, and there are many thieves." ”

"When a small country and a widow do not use the weapons of Shibo, abandon the boat and do not take it, and make the rope again?" Listening to the wind sneered, "Your senior brother is much more enlightened than you!"

Liu Xun was silent, he tried to speak but found that he was unable to refute it. If the selfish desires in the hearts of the people are eliminated, they will inevitably suppress people's minds and implement the law of small countries and widows, so that there will be no progress at all, but will regress step by step.

Liu Xun actually didn't agree with his own point of view in his heart, but the rebel army and the demon army had only been fighting for more than a month but had killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and such things of anger and resentment could be said to have arisen because of him, so he was disheartened and thought of a way to escape the world, but now he was ruthlessly crushed by the wind.

Liu Xun clenched his fists and asked, "What do you think?"

Listening to the wind and laughing: "Natural selection, the survival of the fittest, not the survival of the strong." As everyone knows, tigers and wolves also have dead, and cunning rabbits also have survivors. Giant sharks in the water also need sturgeon to clean their mouths, and sturgeon rely on it to feed their stomachs. Therefore, the world is not the weak and the weak, but the strong. ”

"But what does this have to do with the law of governance?" asked Liu Xun instead.

Tingfeng shook his head and repeated his words: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest!"

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest!"

Liu Xun smiled bitterly, he looked up at Tingfeng and asked, "Are you willing?"

Tingfeng sighed, and at this moment the two had a real showdown, and Tingfeng said with a little melancholy: "I was born here, I live here, but I am not willing to die here!"

"The survival of the fittest by natural selection is wrong in itself! Because natural selection is the survival of the wise! The fool adapts to the environment in order to live, and the wise always tries to change the environment in order to live!"

"In the past, there were fools who moved mountains, and now there are dead cities that are about to fall! I believe that a few people have also seen the current situation of the dead city, these ignorant people have pinned their hopes on us, and the comfortable and comfortable environment has created their lazy and lucky psychology, and they are destined to be eliminated!"

"But are they fittest? Yes, because in their eyes, the war is just a game between the superiors, whether we win or Li Dong breaks the city, they are still them! But will it really be like this?"

Liu Xun and the others didn't speak, in fact, they all knew this answer very well, because along the way, they had already greeted these people more than a hundred times in their hearts.

How can there be the fittest in this world? There are only fools and wise men!

Tingfeng actually didn't care about the survival of the dead city at all, and the previous statecraft was just for temptation, and to elicit his own ideas.

And Liu Xun has actually understood the purpose of listening to the wind, the wolves gather in the mountains and forests to fight the tigers, and the ultimate goal of listening to the wind is still to break free from the shackles of the White Bone Ridge.

"Bifrons is only the ruler on the surface, and the real master of the White Bone Ridge is the demon general Frost Demon Dragon Yadas, codenamed Lonely!, and several of your senior brothers have also been infected with the blood of sin, and this road is unavoidable!"
