Chapter 30: The Spear and the Shield

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. Zhu Jiujiu smiled slightly, and said with great confidence: "Unruly people, shouldn't they be free, shouldn't they be people who will never kneel down after standing up, such people can't be conquered, and people who covet this kind of power will be greatly disappointed." ”

"That's true. He Qi smiled, these words made his eyes brighten, nodded and said: "It's that I'm too careful, those people really can't be conquered, they are all guys with pride in their bones, if it weren't for this, everyone wouldn't have come to Jiucang Mountain to do this competition." ”

"Do those people really exist?" Zhu Jiujiu blinked lightly, and asked a little confused: "The so-called unruly people, the so-called guardian, the so-called salvation, are just big words, such people, it is difficult to pick one out of ten thousand, sometimes I think that what Mr. has been chasing all his life may really be just a big dream." ”

"He was a man who lived for many years. The smile on He Qi's face became playful, looking at the staggering back on the lotus platform, and said slowly: "Many years ago, when we were at the most glorious time in our dark ink, he stood up and said that our so-called ideals were just some Mongolian doctor tricks that treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and the only ones who could protect the world were the weak themselves, and the trouble was too big, and the door naturally couldn't accommodate him, but the elders who always started with ink were not good at doing anything, just drove out, and in anger, he became a lone ranger." ”

"Like you?" Zhu Jiujiu couldn't help but ask.

"I'm too far away. He Qi shrugged, shook his head and said: "People like me have walked alone, but in the end, what they do is just useless, unlike him, in the past fifty years, the world is full of peach and plum." ”

"But, to put it mildly, there are really only a few people. Zhu Jiujiu frowned puzzled and asked, "Peach and plum in the world, but where are those people?"

"Just say his name, and thousands of people like him will come forward. He Qi sighed and said: "When I first heard this sentence, I only thought it was a joke, but I have to admit that the brilliance behind him today can indeed be obscured by the sun." ”

"It's not about putting up puppets everywhere to do bad things. Zhu Jiujiu muttered quietly, looking a little disbelieving, which made He Qi laugh, shook his head and said: "What he did was not just such a simple thing, in fact, many years ago, he had a name called the principal." ”

"This kind of name..."Zhu Jiujiu was stunned, couldn't help but be a little speechless, and said with a smile: "Is he addicted to being a teacher, first he learned from his heart, he was a gentleman for many years, and then he became a principal, I'm really curious, where else is he, has he also been a teacher, director of academic affairs or something?"

"Well, he's really done it. He Qi nodded helplessly and admitted: "Once he drank too much, he told me that after being kicked out of the door that time, he was not angry, so he secretly went to the trouble of a few people in charge of the door several times, but was forked out by everyone, thinking about it, he felt that he was losing in the matter of no one in his hands, so after being a lone ranger for a few years and making a lot of money, he changed careers and started a school." ”

"Have you opened a school for fifty years?" Zhu Jiujiu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he counted with his fingers for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Even if there are 1,000 people a year, there will be 50,000 people in 50 years, and then the disciples will pass it on, this, how many people will this be?"

"As long as there are mountains, there are his disciples. He Qi sighed and said with emotion: " At that time, the most difficult thing in the mountains and wilderness was education, in this matter, he contributed a lot, first taught by himself, and when the time was ripe, he sent the students out, year after year, the disciples who taught out, just like dandelions all over the world, these people, where are just simple tens of thousands of people, fifty years, is enough to span three generations, in these fifty years, our dark ink finally came to the end of the light, almost forgotten by the world, and the only thing left is me, the so-called heir, and unconsciously, he stood up high, and then, once again, raised the banner of the world is white, inheriting the ideal, what makes it immortal is precisely where the ideals of betrayal were made back then, which is really ironic. ”

"Sure enough, sir. Zhu Jiujiu gasped, and couldn't help but glance at the old monk on the lotus platform, now he is not only the man who used to be like a father and a mountain, the sun's light suddenly gushed out from his back, and in the light, his figure obscured the source of the light, like the sun flickering in it.

"Hope, only in the child. He Qi looked at Zhu Jiujiu, his eyes were more gloomy, and he said seriously: " Although, I have told him countless times that he has gone too far on a wrong path, but even on the wrong path, there will be the right behavior, just like his efforts in the past fifty years, the stupidity and stubbornness of adults make them never want to make any repentance for their stupidity and stubbornness, and the child, like a seed, as long as the right soil and nourishment, can grow into the giant trees he wants, but unfortunately, these children who move forward for the wrong goal will never reach that end, just as he insisted, for fifty years, his disciples thought that they could make those weak people stand up, but unknowingly betrayed by the weak to the strong, and became a victim on the altar of his ideals, saying that it is thousands of people who stand up like him, but now, I am afraid that even he himself has understood that these thousands of people have already fallen before he stood up and shouted, this is a world that is not worth guarding at all!"

"What the hell is going on?" The increasingly gloomy look on He Qi's face made Zhu Jiujiu's heart feel cold, and he looked at him cautiously and asked softly.

"It's just a moth to a flame-fighting martyrdom. He Qi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly in a low tone: "Everyone who tried to lead the weak to stand up, in the end, was pierced through the reserve by those weak people, and those who survived, insensitive, died, and died without turning a blind eye, and after fifty years of exhaustion, he ended up like this, but he still refused to give up..."

"That's why I'm here, that's all this, right?" When all the secrets were revealed, when all the facts were discovered, the fragments that flashed Zhu Jiujiu's eyes finally became a picture, fifty years ago, the grieving and indignant man left those companions who had guarded the world together, and walked alone in this world in the name of ideals, in order to lead the weak to stand up and protect the world, he traveled all over the mountains and wilderness, sowed the seeds of hope on the earth, and then the young man who grew up walked towards the world with a passion of blood, and was crushed by faith in the face of reality and weakness, the old years only have one last chance to find the real answer, so there will be all this today.

"Maybe it's because I've finally exhausted all the paths, so I'm back to the beginning. He Qi's slow voice continued to beat in Zhu Jiujiu's heart: " In desperation, he turned his gaze to his companions back then, and once again raised the banner of all white in the world, so there will be the so-called life to death, and there will be the so-called extreme evil and good, these are basically the guidelines that we have been doing for a hundred years, but unfortunately, he is not a person who is easy to give up, so, in the past few years, he thought of other ways, thinking that since he could not lead those weak people to stand up, he simply took a knife and put it on their necks, forcing them to stand up, so there were men who turned into the Emperor of Light, and those apostles, seeds, giant trees, us, and these white clothes。 ”

"One hand makes a shield, the other makes a spear, I am the spear, and they are the shield. Zhu Jiujiu smiled miserably, and said distractedly: "Sure enough, this world is even more ridiculous than imagined, we follow the same people, and then, for the same person's different beliefs, we pounce on each other." ”

"Your luck is never bad, and when it comes to it, Jiujiu is really a good name. He Qi smiled slightly and said: " In the days when you met, what he pointed out to you was a bright path, unlike himself, always walking in the thorny and dark jungle, using up time and years to walk out of a road with no end in sight, although it was the same door, but in addition to it, it was only darkness, and it was all light, you believe in the light, and have a firm heart to guard, in my opinion, he should indeed be proud of you, Ma Chengkong, Zhang Deli, the generation of Baimu, but than the white clothes here, to have a little brain, with the mark of the next word, wherever you go, you are going to fall inferior。 ”

"Thousands of doors?" Zhu Jiujiu's heart froze, and he suddenly heard the meaning of this last sentence, and raised his head violently and just wanted to ask what happened, but he only saw He Qi shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "There are some words that don't need to be said, this is your final test, and after you, say his name, and thousands of people will stand up and continue to follow the banner of the Emperor of Light and walk towards the light of our dark ink." ”

"But those people, those people, haven't they already fallen?" Zhu Jiujiu couldn't help but exclaim, the sudden straightforwardness made everything blurry again, she felt different for the first time, in countless foils and follower roles, she had lost her position, but the ending of the willows and flowers made her heart hang, and she couldn't help but think of the last protagonist in the Hong Kong and Taiwan films, and secretly scolded a word of dog blood.

"The one who fell, just fell asleep. He Qi smiled slightly, pointed to the white clothes near the left and said: "I stood up, but I never woke up, so this game cannot be lost, only in this way will he understand that the only thing he can rely on has always been the road behind you, the road that we have been secretly ink and walked for a hundred years." ”
