Remember [Pen โ™‚ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

I didn't know what to say, so I smoked silently, and then the old man looked up at me, stared at me for a long time, looked at me in a daze, and held back for a long time before asking: "Young man, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma, loyalty and righteousness, which one will you choose?"

"Why is it a dilemma, aren't there many examples of loyalty and righteousness?" I looked at the old man in surprise.

"It's all written in the book, it's better to believe in a book than to have no book, just like Emperor Guan, he is loyal to Liu Bei, but Cao Cao is also good to him, of course this is also a legend, what is the specific, then everyone is not clear. The old man looked at me again and asked again: "Since this topic is so difficult to answer, then let me ask you a simple question, are these five tiger generals good or bad in your opinion?"

"Good man. I replied without thinking, but as soon as the words came out, I saw the smile on the old man's face, and then I thought about it, and it didn't seem to be like that, so I thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem to be good or bad, but it can only be said that each is his master." โ€

"That's right. The old man opened his leaky mouth and said with a smile: "Each is its master, the author of the Three Kingdoms is on the side of Shu, so we were brought in, subjectively followed Shu, but in fact, it is not good or bad, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, the achievements of these five tiger generals are piled up with how many white bones have been achieved, which of them has no blood on their hands, so it is not good or bad, it can only be said that the position is different." โ€

"Uncle, why are you asking me this question?" I pinched my cigarette and looked at Uncle.

"No, didn't you say you like the Three Kingdoms? The old man smiled, his face wrinkled.

"Oh. I see, I put the cigarette in my mouth and took another puff.

"So everything can't be seen one-sidedly, from multiple angles, the nature of that thing is completely different, Cao Cao is a hero, but his purpose is very strong, although the means are also extreme, but if you stand in his point of view, he is not wrong to do that, do you say he doesn't cherish talents? No, you see how Cao Cao treated Guan Yu when he was in Wei at that time, when Zhao Zilong fell into a crowd of thousands of troops, he ordered not to hurt him, to capture him alive, all to take him for his own use, this is the same as Liu Bei, and Cao Cao also has a lot of talented people around him, so after a TV series, Cao Cao has become a bad guy in the minds of everyone. After the old man finished speaking, he smiled.

"Then you are serving in the temple of Emperor Guan, you worship Cao Cao in your heart, it is strange that Emperor Guan is not angry. I joked.

"Where, I'm objectively discussing the Three Kingdoms with you. The old man sighed and said, "In the past, when the troupe was there, I would talk to them for hours every night after the performance, and I would not go to bed until late at night. โ€

I burst out laughing, these old men were really interesting, and I said, "That's not necessary, you're too serious." โ€

"That's not what I'm more serious, I also said, everyone has their own opinions, everyone has their own opinions, I say my opinion, you say your opinion, you have to argue if you have different views, but you can't impose your own ideas on others, don't you say?" said the old man.

"yes. "I think the old man is right.

"It's like talking about the past, that is, in our era, everyone lives every day for one thing, that is, to find food, so that they can continue to live, when these five people came to Guandi Temple to take refuge in me, they told me about their previous journey, they said that they robbed the rich and helped the poor, but they did not kill people and set fires, and made money, but they did not kill them, I asked them what it was, they said that it was to forcibly sell puppet shows, not to rob or steal, but the money obtained was distributed to the poor. The old man sighed and said, "I went to inquire at the time, these five people are from the rivers and lakes, but they have a good reputation, and the proceeds from each performance are distributed to the poor." โ€

I was secretly surprised that these five people had told this old man this!

And this matter, my grandfather just told me, it seems that the caliber is still the same, that should be true.

The old man continued: "They asked me, saying that they are doing justice or not by buying and selling by force, robbing the rich and helping the poor?"

With a grunt, Lao Tzu swallowed his saliva, thought for a while and said: "Righteousness to the poor, but not to those rich who have been robbed." โ€

"That's right, I'm also poor, and I look at it from the perspective of the poor, so I think they are righteous, so I let them stay here and perform. The old man shrugged.

I looked at the old man, and I couldn't tell what mood it was, these five tiger classes are doing to spread diseases, but this is just a means to rob the rich and help the poor, but have they ever hurt people's lives?

If it is really like what the old man said, he only spreads diseases to make money, and does not kill people, then I feel that it can still be forgiven.

They only told the old man to buy and sell, and they certainly didn't say anything about spreading the disease, so if so, how can they explain the spread of the plague this time? Did they do it?

I looked at the old man, the cigarette in the old man's hand was burned, I quickly took out another cigarette, handed him another one, the old man took it with both hands, very polite.

My eyes lit up, and I suddenly found a detail, the old man's fingers and fingers have deep indented cracks, especially the left and right index fingers, the human index finger is three, but I look at him as if it is four, just because of the deep indentation.

My heart was pounding, but I didn't show it, how can I explain the indentation of this old man's finger? Only the perennial puppet will strangle such a dent over time, like a deep wound, is this old man also acting in a puppet show?

But on the other hand, it is not impossible that these five tiger classes have been here for so many years, living with the old man, communicating and chatting every day, learning puppet shows, and even helping to perform!

As I hesitated and pondered, my eyes inadvertently focused on the bottom of the two pillars, the bottom of the pillar on which the couplet was written.

The pillars are made of wood, and the floor is not a cement floor, but a lumpy floor, uneven, and the wood has been inserted in the soil for many years, and there is moisture in the soil, so the bottom end is a little corroded, and there is a circle of rot on the outside, and the pillars are like inverted cones.

Then the rotten wood will grow some fungi, such as fungus, such as mushrooms.

And at this moment, the bottom end of the pillar also grows some white fungi, although they are not long, but they are a few white ones, if you don't pay attention to it, you won't find it at all.

But these mushrooms, I really know, are neither fungus nor mushrooms, but corpse mushrooms.

What is a corpse mushroom? That is the fungus that grows on the coffin and the corpse, and there are generally two kinds of things that grow on the corpse, one is the corpse ginseng, and the other is this kind of corpse mushroom, if I am not a bone picker, I have also encountered this kind of thing in the coffin that I have opened, I would have been really hidden.
