The drum sound was not loud, but it made Lei Shaoxuan's heart tremble, and his mind was in turmoil for a while, and his aura suddenly lost control, skewering around, and slammed into the internal organs of his body, if it weren't for Lei Shaoxuan's body being extremely pure, without impurities and flaws, and extremely tough, such a strong internal impact would definitely break his internal organs.

Generally speaking, the internal organs of the body are the most fragile, so the internal impact is the most dangerous for the monk.

Lei Shaoxuan's face instantly turned pale, he snorted, a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes were full of helplessness, and he stood up slowly, with a depressed face.

"General, I'm sorry, there are villagers beating drums on the side of the hills, which has disturbed the general's cultivation, and we will disperse them immediately!" A personal guard couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the blood on the corner of Lei Shaoxuan's mouth, and anger immediately appeared on his face, obviously the personal guard already understood that Lei Shaoxuan was disturbed by the sound of drums when he was cultivating and suffered internal injuries.

"Don't make a big fuss, they are also unintentional. Lei Shaoxuan pressed down the depression in his heart, covered by his thoughts, he actually knew that there was a group of villagers on the side of the hill who were sacrificing, but he never thought that the villagers would beat the drum when they sacrificed.

"The brothers were going to expel them, but they were burying the dead, and the dead were the greatest, and the brothers didn't want to go too far. The captain of the guard explained, "No one would have thought that they would still beat the drum and disturb the general's cultivation, it's really damned!"

Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan's heart tingled, and he sighed: "In the final analysis, so many people died over there, and all the root causes are our fault." Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

The guards hugged Lei Shaoxuan and walked towards the hills, and on the way, the group was still a little uneven.

"The general is really kind, they are all injured, and I went to see them ......"

"That is, how can there be immortals in war? We can't be blamed for ......."

"Why bother with them, don't care if they live or die, just expel them, the general is soft-hearted......"

"Are you saying that I have the kindness of a woman?" Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan said a little angrily.

"Hahaha, the general is naturally a man among men, but he is the heart of a woman......"

"Fool, that's still a woman's kindness......"

Lei Shaoxuan has always been very good to his pro-soldiers, so much so that his pro-soldiers are sometimes quite presumptuous in their words. It's no wonder that Lei Shaoxuan is not very old, in the past, he was more accommodating to the guards than majestic, and the guards have long been used to it.

After the rain, the air is fresh, the view is excellent, only to see the sky, a clear, revealing the deep night sky, the stars in the far depths, like a bright pearl embedded in the sky.

At this time, a huge bright moon hung high in the sky, as if the night opened a bright country, shrouded the earth, in this distant and mysterious atmosphere, a group of people in white stood on the side of the hills, like silhouettes in the white and black world, adding a strong atmosphere of grief and sorrow to this isolated island-like hills.

White is water, mourning clothes, and shrouds, and black is night, the shadows of trees, and human hearts.

An old man held a dead branch, knocked on a broken urn, and sang in his mouth:

The body is dead, and it is buried in the dust.

Cleanse their bodies and cleanse their souls.

The incense has a spirit, protect it.

Weeping for women and children, and not giving up their families.

......

Hearing the sad and ancient funeral song, Lei Shaoxuan's heart couldn't help but feel a faint pain, especially when he saw a beautiful young woman, kneeling beside a corpse with a young child in her arms and crying, it deeply pierced Lei Shaoxuan's heart.

For a long time, the Southern Expedition brought Lei Shaoxuan more worries about the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, the killing was too heavy, and in any case, the impact on cultivation was extremely unfavorable, and cultivation was related to his own lifespan. However, the scene in front of him now deeply shocked Lei Shaoxuan, and the cry of orphans and widows was unbearable.

The old man's wooden staff tapped the urn and beat the beat, singing loudly.

“...... In troubled times, there is nothing left, a wife and a weak child, the fate is slim, whining and mourning, how can the way of heaven exist?......"

The old man sang a song, his face full of grief and indignation, and his singing voice was sad and vicissitudes, and at the end of the song, the song gradually decreased, full of sorrow and pity.

With the singing, it seemed as if everything was silent, and only the empty wilderness reverberated clearly with the grief-stricken sobs of the young woman, swaying like a breeze.

Lei Shaoxuan's heart boiled when he heard this, and he forgot the meaning of coming for a while, leaving only bitterness and sadness, what fame and fortune, what life cultivation, all of them were thrown out of the clouds, and he didn't know where he was, leaving only two feet to move forward mechanically.

Humanity has seven emotions and six desires, the way of heaven is good and evil and fair, in fact, they are all Tao, Lei Shaoxuan suddenly had some realization in his heart, in fact, the so-called heaven and humanity are all Tao, how can there be a difference between man and God?

Practice and cultivate the way of heaven, but if you can't understand humanity, how can you understand the way of heaven?

However, how much can Lei Shaoxuan understand about humanity? If he wants fame and fortune, he wants to be famous in the history books, and he wants to embrace all the beautiful women, and he still wants not to kill, conspire, or mess with love, how can everything be satisfactory in the world?

Tao said: Yin and Yang are in harmony. However, yin and yang are two poles, so how can they be reconciled? The so-called harmony of yin and yang is nothing but two sides of a mirror, reflecting each other and serving as references. For example, good and evil, seeing evil and knowing good, such as cold and warm, touching cold and knowing warmth, such as life and death, such as bitterness and happiness...... Nothing is far from harmony and harmony.

Everything is just a choice, more good and less evil, and the contrast is not so extreme, it can be called harmony.

For example, in the southern expedition, if we want to pacify South Vietnam as soon as possible, we must kill and occupy it as quickly as possible. Killing, however, means life and death. The dead are gone, and only the living are left to be sad, such as the old man in front of him, the soft woman and the child.

Lei Shaoxuan was thinking wildly, how to choose?

On a flat ground on the slope of the hills, six corpses were lined up side by side, and a mud pit had been dug next to them, and twenty or thirty people were gathering aside, when they suddenly saw a group of Wei troops rushing towards them, and they couldn't help but be restless, and their faces were frightened.

Seeing that the funeral was disturbed, the old man looked angry.

"What should you be guilty of beating drums in the middle of the night and disturbing the general's cultivation and causing the general to suffer internal injuries?" said one of the soldiers angrily as he walked.

The old man was slightly stunned, without any panic, standing with a wooden cane, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "We worship the mountain gods, and we don't know that there are people cultivating at this time. Those who don't know are not to blame, what is the crime?"

Although the sky was dark, under the faint light of the fire, I saw that although the old man had a haggard face, his eyes were like electricity, although his figure was not very tall, he looked like a solid feeling like a mountain stone, and he looked quite imposing.

Lei Shaoxuan said secretly. This is clearly a scribe with an extraordinary bearing.

"How can you be a fool, and you dare to be hard-mouthed!" The pro-soldier became angry when he heard this, and his hand suddenly grasped the hilt of the knife, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense for a while.

"The old man Jiangnan Kong Ping is just a teacher. The so-called reason goes all over the world, and the unreasonable sword speaks. The old man's face did not change, and he was not afraid.

While speaking, Lei Shaoxuan had already come to him.

At this time, the kneeling young woman holding the baby had already stood up, blocked the old man's face, and hurriedly said: "Master Jun, I waited late at night to worship the mountain gods, bury relatives and friends, beat drums and burn incense, I really didn't know that this move would disturb the general, please forgive the military master! I and other relatives unfortunately passed away, and my father was grieving for a while and rushed into the military master. There are a lot of adults, and I beg them to spare my father. ”

Suddenly, the baby in her arms seemed to be awakened, babbling and crying, and when she saw this, the woman was even more alarmed, and hurriedly whispered. At the time of the funeral, I was already very sad in my heart, seeing that Wei Jun was not good, I couldn't help but panic in my heart, sadness, grievances and fear surged into my heart, and the originally miserable face suddenly burst into tears, and a sad atmosphere spread everywhere.

The funeral was being held, and when they were sad, their group seemed to be forcibly asking for their crimes, and they felt like they were bullying, Lei Shaoxuan felt bored for a while, and kicked lightly on the buttocks of the pro-soldier.

"When did I say I was going to come to ask for the guilt?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little helpless, and reprimanded his own soldiers, "I can't talk well, get out of the way." ”

Lei Shaoxuan was about to move forward, but Qi Yong, the captain of the military intelligence school, grabbed him, and hurriedly whispered: "My lord, Mr. Kong Pingkong is a famous man in Jiangdong, once served as the prefect of Hezhou in South Vietnam, because he was dissatisfied with the corruption of the imperial court, and did not want to go along with the dirt, so he resigned and went into hiding, and later founded Hengyi Academy, which is the head of the 'Hengyi School' in South Vietnam, and is famous in South Vietnam!"

Lei Shaoxuan was stunned, the officialdom is capable of officials to the prefect, all of them are sleek and cunning, few have a pure heart, even if they are not used to what the court does, most of them will not resign easily.

Lei Shaoxuan is also a literati in his bones, and Lei Shaoxuan admires this kind of naked scribe very much, without him, Lei Shaoxuan himself can't do it. Lei Shaoxuan was deeply influenced by Yuan Wenbo, who had been in the court for many years, treacherous and cunning, naturally not talking about any innocence, but more about taking advantage of the trend.

However, although Qi Yong whispered, everyone still heard it very clearly, and as soon as the words fell, Lei Shaoxuan knew that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, when Kong Ping heard this, he straightened his face and snorted: "You are the Wei army? If you enter our South Vietnam without telling you, it is for the enemy, not to mention the drumming to disturb your cultivation, it is to resist the enemy with an axe, and it is also a matter of course, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"

Lei Shaoxuan glared at Qi Yong fiercely, feeling helpless in his heart.

Qi Yong did not know why, and he publicly pointed out the identity of the old man Jiangnan celebrity, which was a good intention. The scribe is the most face-saving, if he doesn't point out the identity of the other party, it's just that, the other party pretends to be confused and foolish, but no one says anything, but when he says the name of the other party, as a so-called celebrity, Kong Ping will never have a good face for the Wei army as an enemy country, because this is a matter of the literati's reputation.

Qi Yong's move was out of kindness, afraid that Lei Shaoxuan would kill Kong Ping impulsively, but revealing the identity of the other party undoubtedly made Kong Ping have no way out.

"Enemy?" the guards were furious when they heard this, and they all drew their swords and glared angrily, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Don't, my lord!" the young woman hurriedly stepped forward with the baby in her arms, "The general is General Lei of Beichuan's Governor's Mansion who rectified the rule of officials and killed Haoqiang to save women and children?"

"How did you know that I was the prefect of Beichuan?" Lei Shaoxuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at the woman, but saw that she was about twenty years old, wearing a coarse white cloth skirt, extremely elegant, medium stature, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and very white skin, but her pale and tender face revealed some sickly weakness, looking extremely haggard, but there was a feeling of pity that people couldn't help but pity.

"At such an age, he wears a four-grade official uniform, and there is only one in the world. ”

The young woman's tone was so anxious that her face turned slightly red, "The general is so young and promising, with an extraordinary bearing, and pities the weak, he must not have a pedantic scribe with my father, please spare my father." ”

Perhaps complimenting a young man of her own age, the woman felt embarrassed, lowered her head, and her voice was delicate and tactful, even more coquettish and timid.

"Tell me your name, and I'll let you go!" Lei Shaoxuan blurted out.

As soon as the words came out, Lei Shaoxuan immediately felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but regret it, he just wanted to make a joke, but at this time, no matter how he looked at it, it was more like a joke.

When the young woman heard this, she blushed and said, bowed her head and said, "Kong Jingyun." ”
