Chapter 8 Good as Water

Xue Yueji and Yun Na sat on the city wall together, Xue Yueji quietly looked at the continuously gathering dark clouds in the sky, Yun Na looked at Xue Yueji with concern, and the white tiger lay behind the two of them, changing his lazy appearance a few days ago and vigilantly watching everything around him. It's been a long time since she came out of the restaurant, and Xue Yueji has been looking at the sky quietly like this, never changing a position for hours, not even blinking her eyes.

The clouds in the sky could not bear the accumulated moisture, and the rain poured down from the sky. Snow Moon Scars let the rain wet themselves, whether it was the true qi of the body protection or the ubiquitous wind and snow moon marks, it was useless, just let the rain wet themselves. Xue Yueji suddenly asked Yun Na:

"Why did you stop me just now? Is the life of those bastards really more important than the statements of those warriors?"

Yun Na shook her head slightly, and the rain accumulated in her hair quickly flowed down with Yun Na's movements. Yun Na said carefully:

"Their lives don't matter, what matters is that there were other people at the time. If you really do it like when you fought with the White Tiger one day, not only them, but many innocent people around you will die. The soldiers who died on the battlefield were meant to protect the lives of those innocent. You can defend the honor of those heroes, but you fail to live up to their expectations. I know you're very sad, but there are times when things can't be judged by the way you think on the battlefield, even though in your eyes it's very abnormal and confusing. But you also have to understand, huh?"

Xue Yueji tilted her head slightly, glanced at Yun Na, who was also wet from the rain next to her, and asked with some curiosity:

"How do you know? My feelings have never been understood by anyone but my master. ”

Yun Na glared at Xue Yueji angrily, and replied without thinking:

"It's not because I can't communicate with anyone else here except you! You are usually cold, as if you are going to be killed by you if you don't pay attention, who else dares to feel at ease with you except your master! No matter who sees you like that, you will be scared away from you! I don't dare to face you head-on at all! How do you let others understand you?"

Yun Na's eyes changed slightly, she twisted her face away, and said in a low voice:

"Moreover, and you also sang "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, No Clothes" at that time, and you sang it very sadly. I know that the battlefield is very cruel, and I know that it takes the lives of many soldiers to toast the prestige of an army. Both enemies and comrades-in-arms are worthy of respect in the eyes of wood. But they are dead. Didn't you tell me that war is a game of those in power, and that being a warrior is just a pawn in the hands of those in power. Since it is a chess piece, of course, those in power will exchange everything they have for their own best interests. ”

There was a soft "click" sound, and the two bluestones under Xue Yueji's hands were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, but Xue Yueji did not release his murderous aura, and there was not even a trace of change in the wind around him. Xue Yueji smiled lightly and said lightly:

"When I was reading the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu, I read that 'the good is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting, which is the virtue of humility; The world is not weaker than water, and the strong can win, this is the soft virtue, so the soft is stronger than the strong, the weak is stronger than the strong. Because it does not exist, it can enter into nothingness, and from this we can know the benefits of teaching without words and doing nothing. "Harmony" is indisputable, so the world can not compete with it, this is to imitate the virtue of water. The water is more than the Tao, the Tao is omnipresent, the water is not disadvantageous, the high tends to go down, there is no rebellion, the good place is also, the empty place is quiet, unfathomable. Kindness is the abyss, loss is inexhaustible, giving is not retribution, good is benevolent' when I never understood what it meant. My master told me that if I could understand what these two passages meant, I would know why there were constant wars in the world. Today, I understand a little sourly, it turns out that it is because the people in power in the world cannot be as bold as water not to compete with the world. ”

Yun Na looked up at Xue Yueji with some confusion, but saw that Xue Yueji's face had a gentle smile that she had never seen before, a smile as warm as a spring breeze. Snow Moon Scar turned her head slightly to look at Yun Na, and Yun Na immediately lowered her head in the hope that the heavy rain could block Snow Moon Scarre's view. But she forgot that the heavy rain couldn't block her vision, and it couldn't stop the sight of Xue Yueji, as long as there was air flowing, even if the line of sight was blocked, not to mention that the rain couldn't resist the sensitive sight of zombies.

After being silent for a long time, Xue Yueji spoke:

"I didn't expect that there would be people crying for those of us who killed people. Good is like water, good is like water. It turned out to be such a simple thing, it seems that I used to think too much trouble. ”

Yun Na secretly glanced at Xue Yueji and asked in a low voice:

"What did you say?"

Xue Yueji smiled faintly and said:

"Originally, I was trying to persuade me, but I was sad and weeping for those dead soldiers, and I originally wanted to show the benefits, but I had some unwillingness in my heart, and I didn't want to believe that these things were really happening. ”

Yun Na twisted her face to the other side and argued in a low voice:

"I'm not crying! It's just rain!"

Xue Yueji's left hand appeared on Yun Na's cheek like a ghost, and gently scratched the corner of Yun Na's eye and said:

"If I couldn't tell the difference between tears and rain, I would have died many times. There is nothing wrong with crying, since ancient times, men have tears and do not talk lightly, crying is your biggest advantage. Sometimes a few tears of your girls are more terrifying than our thousands of troops. A war that we need tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of lives to stop can be easily solved with just a few light tears and a sad face. Some things are not understandable if you know, and kindness is not needed by everyone. What a lot of gains today. I have understood what it means to be good. If it were a different person, it was estimated that the Great Dao Jindan would have been formed by now. And I saw you crying, and I understood a lot of things. ”

Yun Na asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean by the goodness of the water? Do you still have to comprehend the things in the Tao Te Ching?"

Xue Yueji leaned back slightly, and a gust of wind appeared in his depth, holding his body steadily. Xue Yueji casually tapped on Yun Na's forehead and said:

"Of course, you need to comprehend, otherwise why do you think so many cultivators want to read the Tao Te Ching? The Tao Te Ching simply describes the process of the evolution of the Great Dao in very simple language, and the enlightenment of the Tao Te Ching is actually a part of the Great Dao of Enlightenment. Don't underestimate a little bit of the elaboration of the avenue, if you can comprehend the avenue expounded in the "Tao Te Ching", you can at least make it to the top of the three flowers, and the five qi dynasties. There are thousands of ways to heaven, and different paths lead to the same end, as long as you can comprehend the tip of the iceberg, you will be proud. Today, I realized that 'goodness is like water', but because I am not in the Five Elements, I do not conform to the Great Dao Evolution, and I have not formed the Great Dao Jindan, which has made me a big step closer to my own Great Dao. I can say that what I have gained today is a little more than what I have gained by working hard for 2,000 years. If it were you, not me, who had comprehended the true meaning of 'goodness is like water', you would have formed a golden pill by now. ”

Snow Moon Scar stretched her waist like a lazy waist, her hands slashed in the air, and the rain falling from the sky automatically changed direction a foot above the two of them and fell somewhere else. There was not a change in the wind, not even a change in the air flow. Yun Na looked at the raindrops flowing in other directions above in surprise, she controlled the water and could naturally see how the rain flowed, in the past, the snow and moon marks would use the wind to force them to flow away, but now the rain is completely natural, without a sense of compulsion. Although the effect of both is the same, there are essential differences. Yun Na asked blankly:

"How did you do that? I don't feel the wind at all. ”

Xue Yueji replied lightly:

"With its indisputability, the world can not compete with it, this is to imitate the virtue of water. I'm just using the wind to imitate the essence of what I have learned, 'good is like water'. As long as you can comprehend 'goodness is like water', you will be several times stronger than me. In your situation, after comprehending the 'goodness is like water', you have formed the Great Dao Jindan, not to mention the average opponent of the same level, even if the White Tiger and the old man want to break through your defense, it is very difficult, as long as you do not break through the Jindan realm, it is very difficult to break through your defense. ”

Yun Na asked in surprise:

"Is it really that powerful that 'good as water'?"

Xue Yueji's left hand gently tapped on Yun Na's forehead again and said:

"It's not a matter of power. 'Superior goodness is like water' is a manifestation of the essence of water that existed at the beginning of heaven and earth, and it is a manifestation that is very close to the Great Dao. The attack of the world is nothing more than a manifestation of contention, and what is the characteristic of 'the good is like water'? If you don't compete with others, others will naturally not be able to hurt you in the slightest. If you want to hurt you, you can't do it unless your realm is much higher than yours, or if you've realized that 'goodness is like water' like me. ”

Yun Na said stupidly:

"So what? It's just a little bit more defensive. Do you want to be like a little turtle, and when people beat me, I will shrink up and let people beat me!

Xue Yueji thought for a moment and said:

"In ancient times, Pangu Nirvana, the chaos of heaven and earth and the five elements became spirits, one of which was the ancient witch clan. The ancient witch clan has twelve ancestral witches, also known as the twelve demon gods in the outside world, who are born with a strong body, devouring heaven and earth, manipulating feng shui, thunder and lightning, moving the mountains and changing the heavens and the earth. They are the ancestor of gold in the west, the ancestor of wood in the east, the ancestor of water in the north, the ancestor of fire in the south, the ancestor of fire, the ancestor of the central earth, the ancestor of the wind, the ancestor of the wind, the ancestor of the rain, the ancestor of thunder, the ancestor of thunder, the ancestor of electricity, the ancestor of space, the ancestor of space, the ancestor of time, the ancestor of time, the ancestor of the moon, the ancestor of the weather, the ancestor of the corpse. They control the western Gengxinjin, the eastern Jiayimu, the northern nonkui water, the southern bingdinghuo, the central Wuji, wind, rain, thunder, electricity, space, the alternation of the sun and the moon, and the changes in the weather. Although I don't know if the legendary ancient witch clan ever existed, the Gonggong Ancestor Witch and the Xuanming Ancestor Witch among the twelve ancestral witches are masters of water control. Gonggong Ancestor Witch is the co-master of thousands of waters in the world, and the skill of Xuanming Ancestor Witch to control water has reached the point where even the saint is inferior by three points. You say that 'goodness is like water' is very weak, right? In that year, the ancestor of the Gonggong Ancestor Wu knocked down Tianhua Mountain, one of the five optimus primes, in a fit of anger, and knocked the sky into a big hole. The supernatural powers of the Gonggong Ancestor Witch and the Xuanming Ancestor Witch both evolved from the nature of water, do you say that their strength is very weak?"

Yun Na's little head shook like a rattle, and the rain in her hair shook off Snow Moon Scars. Xue Yueji's face sank, but Yun Na looked at him innocently, Xue Yueji shook her head helplessly, Yun Na grabbed Xue Yueji's left hand and said excitedly:

"Wood, can you teach me 'good as water'?"

Xue Yueji lightly spit out two words:

"Not good. ”

Yun Na hugged her left arm and knelt on the ground, and begged anxiously:

"Why is it bad! Teach me! Good wood, you can teach me!"

Xue Yueji said lightly:

"A little farther away from me, don't you know if men and women kiss or not?"

Yun Na immediately straightened up, and her whole body was attached to Xue Yueji's body, and shouted in Xue Yueji's ear:

"Why didn't you say it when you held me today? Why didn't you say it when you sat on the back of a big cat before? Why didn't you say it when you were in the forest before? Why didn't you say it when you fell into exile at that time? You kissed me in the chaotic space."

Xue Yueji turned her head sharply to stare at Yun Na, and Yun Na also realized that she had said too much and was too sensitive. Yun Na quickly dodged Xue Yueji's gaze and knelt on the ground with her head down, but she still didn't let go of Xue Yueji's hand, and even her ears were red. Yun Na muttered quietly:

"Stupid wood, naming is what you violate first, and you have to say that other people's are not. ”

Xue Yueji smiled lightly and said:

"That's right, I did it first. But I don't teach you that 'good is like water', and there seems to be a reason. You are born with only water among the five elements, and it is only a matter of time before you comprehend the realm of 'good as water'. Moreover, 'goodness is like water' is not something that can be understood by others, it is a kind of comprehension of the essence of water. I have already comprehended 'goodness is like water', and when I control the wind in the future, I will more or less carry some of the charm of 'goodness like water', even if I don't tell you, you can understand it. And your personality is already very close to the artistic conception of 'good as water', so it can be said that you are already hovering outside the threshold of 'good as water'. Even I was able to comprehend 'good as water' because of your influence, wasn't it?"

Yun Na nodded a little disappointed, and her left arm, which was covered by the snow moon marks, made a low strange sound in a depressed voice, like a kitten who had been wronged by something. A rush of footsteps caught Yun Na's attention, and Yun Na followed the source of the sound to see Grand Duke Peron running towards them, and in a blink of an eye, she ran to the rain-free area created by Snow Moon Scarre's comprehension of "good as water". Grand Duke Peron looked at the two people who were completely soaked, and then looked at Yun Na's left hand that had not been sent away, and finally fixed his gaze on Yun Na's pretty face, which had not fully recovered to normal, and was slightly flushed, biting the index finger of his right hand and thinking for a long time;

"Am I bothering you?"

Xue Yueji smiled faintly and said:

"It's a good thing she doesn't understand what you're saying right now, or you'd be in big trouble. ”

The white tiger, who was lying behind Xue Yueji and Yun Na, nodded in agreement. Snow Moon Marks asked casually:

"Is there something wrong with you coming to me in such a hurry?"

The Grand Duke of Peron immediately remembered the purpose of his coming, and said like a cannon;

"After you two leave today, I want to go to the barracks to tidy up, and when I get there, it's miserable, I want to go and see how the big tent is doing, but when I get there, I find it"

Before the Grand Duke of Veron could finish speaking, Xue Yueji said four words lightly:

"The battle flag is down. ”

Grand Duke Peron looked at Xue Yueji in surprise and asked curiously:

"How do you know?"

Xue Yueji's right hand made a slight downward slash and said:

"Because that's what I cut down. ”

Grand Duke Peron nodded, but immediately reacted and exclaimed in surprise:

"You cut it down! I remember you came here straight after you came out of the cafeteria? You haven't been anywhere else? How did you do it? Do you look like a demonic cultivator? No? I didn't feel the fluctuation of the magic element at that time?"

Grand Duke Peron returned to his hippie smile and said to Xue Yueji:

"Boy, you must be lying to me, you saw who cut it down but you didn't tell me, did you?"

Xue Yueji stood up, picked up Yun Na casually, put it on the back of the white tiger, turned her head and smiled at Grand Duke Belon and said:

"It was indeed I who cut it down, because it is not worth the flag to fly there, and that legion can no longer afford the honor forged with the blood and lives of so many soldiers who died on the battlefield. And I can tell you that from tomorrow every morning I will cut down that battle flag. If, after a hundred days, your legion is not up to the level where it can take on the responsibilities that come with that honor, then I will wipe out your legion with all my own hands. And, of course, that includes the current commander of that legion, your granddaughter, Miss Highland Remis. If this happens, I'll see an elite army in a hundred days, but don't think about cheating. ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Yueji patted the white tiger's head and jumped down from the city wall, and the white tiger followed closely, and the Grand Duke of Veron watched in distress as Xue Yueji's figure disappeared around the corner of the street.
