"Yes, why don't I think so?"

Lin Xiaotong almost subconsciously retorted, but after she finished speaking, she tilted her head and recalled, as if she was wondering whether Xu Xingkong's comment was right or not, but only after this refutation did she think about what was going on? Lin Xiaotong, a business elite, how could he make such a mistake?

Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaotong with some confusion, although she had already talked about a life-and-death relationship, and there were many girls around her, but Xu Xingkong didn't understand that Lin Xiaotong's behavior was a typical love syndrome, and she would only commit it in front of her favorite person.

Except for Xu Xingkong, who was confused, everyone else understood that Lin Xiaotong's words didn't have to be taken seriously, so they all locked their eyes on He Yan, while He Yan lowered his head and played with his fingers, and after a while, He Yan raised his head in everyone's expectation, and looked at Xu Xingkong with bright big eyes:

"You're right, it's hard for me to trust people, and it has a lot to do with my experience. ”

After speaking, He Yan sighed softly, her eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and she smiled bitterly and continued:

"You should have heard that my previous circle was very chaotic, and the competition was also very fierce, in order to achieve their own goals, almost everyone did everything, and it was a matter of course to step on someone else's position, and as for betrayal, it was even more daily, so... I almost, no, I don't have any real friends at all. ”

Lin Xiaotong's expression was correct, and he put away his joke and said:

"Everyone knows this, and it is understandable, it is estimated that Xiao Yan, you also have a rather unpleasant experience, but now it is different. ”

He Yan smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Yes, yes, I know, but... This wariness became almost instinctive. ”

Lin Xiaotong wanted to say something more, but Lin Xiaofeng slapped her on the back of her hand and stopped her from speaking.

Xu Xingkong looked at He Yan lightly and said:

"It doesn't make you trust us completely, after all, trust takes time to build, but you have to remember that human beings are essentially a group species, and the so-called escapism is simply nonsense, and it is impossible for individual people to evolve apart from human groups. Therefore, how to get along with others and how to position oneself in this group is quite important, because if this position is not clear, it is impossible to find one's true self, and it is impossible to clarify one's own path, and there is no way to talk about cultivation. ”

He Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"I get it, I'll try. ”

Xu Xingkong smiled:

"It's not just hard work, you have to figure it out, don't you like to ponder, but sometimes you should also look at what others do and think. ”

He Yan was stunned, and then the corners of her mouth hooked and asked:

"Can I ask you what you think about it, and I think the proposition of trust and betrayal should be universal, right?"

He Yan's question aroused everyone's interest, everyone looked at Xu Xingkong with great interest, looking forward to his answer, Xu Xingkong glanced around at the women, and smiled very calmly:

"Yes, everyone needs to face this problem, I'll just talk about my thoughts, you can refer to it, what I said may not be suitable for you. ”

"Well, you say. ”

He Yan sat up straight respectfully, looking like a good student, and all the women smiled secretly.

"In my opinion, in fact, there is no loyalty between people, and without the premise of loyalty, there is no betrayal. Human beings are group animals, but they are also independent individuals, and everyone's starting point is self-interest, so my approach is to change the target of self-interest. ”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"For example?"

"For example, as long as my relatives benefit, I will benefit, and as long as my relatives are happy, I will be happy. ”

"But isn't that a loss of ego?"

Xu Xingkong smiled:

"How is it possible, because that's what they think. ”

Xu Xingkong's words are very simple, but the meaning is very intriguing, except for He Yan, everyone present showed a knowing smile on their faces, and their eyes were as bright as water, and they were tender.

He Yan opened her mouth and wanted to refute, she felt that this kind of envy of others was a special case at all, and it was completely unconvincing, but she looked at everyone's expressions, and she didn't know how to refute Xu Xingkong, and in addition to envy and jealousy, she couldn't help but reflect on herself, maybe what Xu Xingkong wanted to say was that how you treat others, others will treat you.

After hesitating for a moment, He Yan still stubbornly said:

"What if others don't think so?"

Xu Xingkong smiled:

"There must have been some misunderstanding, but I didn't see that. ”

He Yan sighed softly:

"People are divided into groups and things are gathered by like, and I understand that if you want to find someone you can trust, you must first make yourself a trustworthy person. ”

"Very good, I'll just say that you have a high level of understanding, but it's easier said than done, don't be afraid of being hurt, because this kind of injury is just the normal state of contact and collision between anyone, and there is no need to be hypocritical because of this. ”

He Yan pursed her lips and smiled, the smile on her face looked sincere and relaxed;

"Yes, I will. ”

Xu Xingkong smiled and said:

"What we call the Yuan Shen, its essence is the sum of our own concepts and cognitions, feelings, emotions, etc., so it seems that there is no perfect model, however, too obvious defects will lead to the instability of the Yuan Shen, and even serious will lead to the Yuan Shen can not be condensed or disintegrated, even if it is not a very obvious defect, it will be very dangerous in a specific situation, or be used by the enemy, such as those people!"

Xu Xingkong said and gently pursed his mouth, and the women turned their heads to look at the lake, and the original starry lake surface suddenly appeared bright and soft fluorescence at some point, reflecting the entire lake surface in light blue, like a huge gem that exudes treasure light, which is particularly eye-catching in the deep night.

"Wow! it's beautiful!"

This time it was not Lin Xiaotong who exclaimed but Lu Wuxiang, and everyone also exclaimed in a low voice, to be honest, this scene is really beautiful.

But that doesn't seem to be the point.

Lin Xiaofeng pursed his lips and smiled lightly and said:

"Are those people ready to act?"

Then everyone turned their eyes from the surface of the lake to the lake, but they couldn't see anything no matter how they looked.

Xu Xingkong smiled coldly and said:

"People die for money, so let's tempt them to profit, look at this scene, you are concerned about beauty, and some people are concerned about the treasure under this treasure. ”

Lin Xiaotong blinked his eyes and said suddenly:

"How can this treasure shine?

Xu Xingkong pouted:

"How is it possible, the treasure is self-taught, the better the treasure, the more ordinary it looks, unless the treasure is in an abnormal state, such as about to be unearthed. ”

Lu Wuxiang's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed in a low voice:

"Didn't the old Taoist say that the treasure can't be taken out?

Lin Xiaotong smiled, patted Lu Wuxiang's head dotingly, and said:

"That's why it's strange, I'm afraid that someone deliberately made this light, but even I can think of it, those old rivers and lakes don't understand it, right?"

"This is Li Lingzhi!"

Xu Xingkong said lightly, after speaking, he glanced at the station of Wuji Palace not far away, and sure enough, a few shadows rushed towards the lake like green smoke, and after a while, a few more figures ran towards the surrounding mountains, and then several familiar figures walked in the direction of Xu Xingkong and others.

These people seemed to be walking calmly and slowly, but after just a few breaths, the three people who came stood in front of Xu Xingkong, it was Zhang Chaodong, Chu Xuandao and Qinghe Dao.

Xu Xingkong and the others got up to greet each other, Xu Xingkong deliberately smiled meaningfully at the Qinghe Dao people, and the Qinghe Dao people nodded calmly, without the slightest feeling of being caught in front of them by doing bad things.

The Xuan Daoist pointed to the lake and said:

"Xingkong, do you want to send someone down to take a look?"

Xu Xingkong smiled and said:

"This is your land, you have the idea, but such an obvious trap, will anyone jump into it? I think it's strange how this trap is made? Qinghe Dao Chief, have you gone down to the lake, and you haven't noticed that this place has been manipulated?"

Qinghe Daoren smiled and said:

"Hehe, I'm ashamed, I'm old and incompetent, which makes Elder Xu smile. ”

Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, didn't bother to pay attention to this shameless old Taoist, and turned to look at the Xuandao person, and the Xuandao person said knowingly:

"Poor Dao has been sent to warn them, the treasure is locked by the dragon vein, it is impossible to unearth, but there are always people who have a fluke mentality, want to take a risk, now the official enchantment has not been completed, the area of the lake is large, the people who come here are mixed, there may not be no strong people who hide their identities, I am afraid we can't completely block those who have the intention to take risks. ”

Xu Xing thought for a while and said:

"In this way, in fact, I don't care much about that treasure, but Qinghe Dao Chief also said that once that treasure is taken out, it will have a serious impact on the dragon vein, and this matter is related to the reputation of you and me, so you can't be careful. ”

Xu Xingkong said, glancing at the Qinghe Dao people from the corner of his eyes, the Qinghe Dao people's faces were calm, and they looked completely high, but Zhang Chaodong frowned, and said with some hesitation:

"Elder Xu doesn't have to go down, it's just that the situation below is unclear, Elder Xu has a heavy responsibility, so don't take the risk. ”

The Xuan Daoist immediately agreed:

"Yes, it's better to go down and take a look, if there is something wrong, it's not too late for you to take action. ”

Xu Xingkong pinched the stubble on his chin a little helplessly, sighed and said:

"We don't understand the matter of this dragon vein at all, and we don't know what the taboos are, in case something is not easy to deal with, it is said that this matter should trouble the Qinghe River chief. ”

Qinghe Daoren smiled again:

"In order to avoid suspicion, it's better for me to go down, in fact, there is no taboo in the dragon vein, that is, you can't use large-scale spells, and you can't let the treasure leave the dragon vein, in fact, even if you want to use spells in the dragon vein, you can't do it. ”

Xu Xingkong frowned when he heard this:

"If you can't use spells, shouldn't you arrange for a martial artist to go down?"

Qinghe Daoren shrugged his shoulders and said:

"The martial artist can't go down, it will lead to internal chaos, violent anger, and even life-threatening. ”

"Wouldn't that be the best for the demon clan?"

Qinghe Daoren smiled strangely and said:

"Otherwise, why do you think the demon clan is so powerful?"
