Thank you for your votes, clicks, collections, support, thank you very much, this month Lao Zhang I have a serious illness, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of powerlessness, a chapter intermittently to write for a long time, it is really painstaking, see everyone as always, support Lao Zhang, really moved, here bow thank you!

"This world is even more absurd than I imagined. Xu Li stood on the hillside in the distance, was silent for a long time, turned his head, looked at Mu En, who was full of ridicule, showed an indifferent smile, and said quietly: "In this way, we can be regarded as our own family." ”

"It's an interesting world, but his patience is a little worse than I thought. Mu En shook the dust on his clothes, took out a cigar and handed it to Xu Li, and said with a slow smile: "Davidoff No. 2, although there is not much money, but it is also a rare enjoyment, this kind of thing, he couldn't afford to smoke it back then, but now, it is different, now he is much thicker than he wants to come, such a person can afford to lose." ”

"I remember the first day of meeting, he once said to me that one day, there will be thousands of people like him to stand up and protect the world for conscience, at that time I didn't have much knowledge, just a street boy, and once secretly laughed that he was a madman, and later, a group of our disciples branched out--green @ color # small ¥ said& net - sighed leisurely, shook his head softly and laughed at himself:" It turns out that he has never been an arrogant person, and the white-clothed monks here can really be counted as thousands, I finally understand why he is called the Emperor of Light now. ”

"Here, called Xiaoguangding, the so-called small, said naturally is a small word, not only the place is smaller, the number of people, there are not many, here in Jiucang Mountain, just the white clothes recorded in the register, there are 13,752 people, a few years, although scattered many people, but now there are enough 8,000 people. Mu En comfortably bit the cigar in his mouth, smiled indulgently in the smoke, and said slowly: "Since there is a small one, then, there will naturally be a big one, if you have the opportunity, you might as well find the location of the big bright top, and when you get to that place, you will understand what it means to raise your arms and exhale, the world is from the world, that kind of scene, indeed, you can be proud as an emperor." ”

"Such an assembly, will the people above let it go?" Xu Li frowned and said questioningly: "You must know that even if dozens of people get together, they will get into trouble, and here, there is no so-called freedom." ”

"Monks and Taoists are religious things, as long as you give money, you can find a reason to be vague, on the birthday of Bodhisattva Guanyin, there are thousands of pilgrims who burn incense, and where will they take care of it?" Mu En smiled slightly and said mockingly: " What's more, our great light top, the name of the rise is justified, it was originally done from above, once the master of this world, but now he is like an outcast, and where resentment gathers, there will always be some interesting things happening, for example, people will kneel to those big masters for a long time, they will suddenly stand up, and then, follow us. ”

"How old is he?" Xu Li laughed self-deprecatingly, looked at the old monk between the mountain gates, squinted his eyes coldly and said: "When we met back then, the man who was in his fifties and respected by us as a father is now so old, you know, in the past twenty years, his appearance has not changed much, or does he have more secrets." ”

"How do I know? Mu En shrugged, shook his head with a strange face and said, " When I met him, he was dressed like a middle-aged man in his thirties, after everyone said the age, he also called me little brother, and then a few days, he changed, it was like this, sometimes dressed as a monk, sometimes dressed as a Taoist, sometimes an old man, sometimes a middle-aged reckless man, and a few times, walking around with a crutch to learn an old lady, and proudly said what to incarnate tens of millions, it really made people laugh and cry, this time if it wasn't for a few days to live, where would it be serious to show itself. ”

"How many days are you going to live?" Xu Li turned his head in disbelief, his eyes were full of shock, and he said in amazement: "How is it possible? He is the kind of person who has a much better body than a young man, and even the doctor has said that he is afraid that he will live to be in his early 100s." ”

"It's indeed a living tiger, but after so many years of good intentions, his body, the rest is just a shelf. Mu En smiled, and whispered with a gloomy face: "I should have understood, sir, in fact, I am just a person, over the years, what I have done is not enough, I should, should work harder." ”

"Does he have anything to say to me?" Xu Li sighed, lowered his head, stepped on the cigar under his feet, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice and sadness: "At this point, we can no longer meet, although Entong reinvented, but it is no longer the man, I am in awe of the man who is like a father, he planted faith in our hearts, and then, personally betrayed those beliefs..."

"He's just looking for answers, and as he once told you, there is nothing eternal in this world, and truth may be a fallacy in the next moment. Mu En shook his head and said seriously: " Although I am not always by my side like you, I firmly believe that what I have learned is not inferior to any of you, so the important thing is not faith, but courage, the courage to admit the mistakes that you pursue and persist in is the most precious quality in this world, when he is right, he is unswerving, the pursuit of his own conscience, when he is wrong, he does not hesitate, would rather start all over again, such a gentleman, is something that none of you have ever seen, so, if you need an explanation from Mr., I want to say that you should thank him。 ”

"Thank you?" Xu Li was stunned, shook his head and laughed, looked at Mu En with a firm face mockingly, and said: "Thank him, let twenty years of persistence and faith fall apart overnight, thank him, let me change from a person with a conscience to a sinner whose hands are full of blood and live in lies, all this, all this, you want me, how to thank him!"

"It's a ridiculous feeling. Mu En smiled faintly and said slowly: "It's like a man who has lived for more than 20 years, overnight, suddenly knows that he is a woman, that kind of thing, really, really pitiful, but who wants to live forever in lies and absurdity, and who is not curious about the truth in this world? If this is not the case, why would someone say, Chaowendao, Xi Ke will die, I think, people like you are always smart, and curious..."

"Killing people is the truth, you are the truth?" Xu Li looked at Mu En mockingly, and sneered: "If this is the case, then the truth in this world is afraid that only those heinous death row inmates will understand!"

"The truth of this world is that conscience is the root of suffering in this world, and if you insist on knowing Mr., then this is it. Mu En sighed, and said in a slow voice: "All people with conscience, must have a weak heart, such a heart, is the soil for the rise of tigers and wolves, in the world without protection and resistance, conscience, can only make the world more ugly, so, Mr. chose this path now, those of us who stood up gave up our conscience, incarnated into endless darkness, annihilated the conscience in this world, so that the weak have nothing to live in, kneel and kneel, get up angrily, do not use thunder means, do not show the heart of the Bodhisattva, this is the answer of Mr. ”

"So, we, those of us who follow him and want to find a way to save the world in the science of conscience, have become stones in the way, and have become, unimportant people, right?" Xu Li raised his head, stared coldly at Mu En's eyes, and said word by word: "So, Tang Kai died at my hands, and with his blood, I became a person like you." ”

"You are his favorite disciple. Mu En smiled slightly, and said undeniably: "So, Mr. hopes that you can see the world clearly and do something more meaningful, although this matter may make you very unhappy, but what can you do, he is the man like his father after all, if there is no him, how can there be you now, not to mention, he is already going to die, be a stingy man, or stand here and say goodbye, it is your own choice." ”

"There is no choice..."Xu Li smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Since I still have twenty years of conscience in my heart, this kind of thing is not my style to repay virtue with resentment, this matter, it is not too late, I have always felt that he is standing behind me, but until today, I found out that he was not only standing behind me, but even, standing opposite me, the funny thing is that I still want to use that method to force him out." ”

"That's why I've been looking for you in this barren mountain for a few days and nights. Mu En shook his head with a smile, pointed to the high platform in the courtyard of the Jiucang Temple in the mountains in the distance, and then looked at Xu Li and said: "This matter, it has been done a little too much, if it weren't for Mr. Bai Mu and suddenly found that you were missing, you would almost be burned alive." ”

"I didn't know it was Mr., but I heard that Shiraki was also going to sit on the lotus platform, so it was originally reserved for him. Xu Li raised his head and glanced at the place where the voice was buzzing, and frowned.
