Chapter 80: Tangled
Jun Changning had heard before that when the balance of forces between the two opposing sides was too great, the dominant side would be extraordinarily tolerant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info At the time, she thought it made sense, imagining that if she had the ability to kill the enemy with one finger, she would also behave with grace, showing both heart and depth.
Now that she's in this situation, she's only to find out that it's not like that at all. She wanted to chop them into meat sauce and feed them to the dogs.
Before she could make a move, the condemned prisoners who were suspected of escaping from prison were trembling and unstable by the coercion emanating from her body, their faces were pale, and their bones squeaked all over their bodies. Jun Changning's raised hand paused unconsciously.
It's not that I'm suddenly merciful, it's not that I don't think these people deserve to die, but I suddenly think of the policemen in my previous life who sometimes seemed "stupid".
In order to capture the criminal alive, he allowed his own people to be beaten to death by the other party, and he had to act according to legal procedures, and he did not know how to be flexible at all, so that the onlookers were both angry and puzzled.
In the past, Jun Changning didn't look down on these rigid dogmatic and inflexible policemen, in her opinion, wouldn't it be too peaceful to put those scum down with one shot, what to do with the tedious and lengthy procedures, and it would be tiring and killing good people.
Now, she has a power beyond ordinary people, she has not been a mortal for too long, she suddenly has some enlightenment, and even the rationality of her own existence is a little doubtful.
Was she right to kill these people here today? Good and evil aside, from a higher level of order and balance, her existence can be called a destroyer, with the ability to go beyond this mortal rule, easily and wantonly break the rules that are naturally formed to maintain order and balance, and let the authority that the rules should have been broken.
She also seems too easy, which is a temptation for mortals who live under the rules, which will make more people crave this ability to satisfy all kinds of desires. Badly, the qualifications to possess this power are destined to be possessed by very few, and there is no distinction between good and evil.
When the majority of people earn from their labor only to satisfy a small number of people, then the structure of this society must be unbalanced, and the body can be enslaved, but the mind cannot. Where there is discontent, there will be resistance, and where there is resistance, there will be war.
Jun Changning's face changed, she remembered the extremely slow development of heavy industry in this country, the Great Rabbit Dynasty could successfully land on the moon with a history of five thousand years, and the mortal world here has a recorded history of tens of millions of years! She looked at the carriage under her seat, remembered the life experience of her master, and her heart slowly sank.
In the end, she only fanned those people with just one sleeve and sent a message to the nearest official.
Worriedly returning to the carriage, Jun Changning sat in the corner in a daze with her knees crossed, thinking about the problem that was completely beyond her ability.
Xie Lanyong opened his eyes to look at her, smiled, and said softly: "Don't think so much, this world has its own laws, you just need to be yourself." ”
This statement is really a bit irresponsible, Jun Changning raised his eyes to look at him, this person's eyes were calm, there was no sadness and loneliness on the night of parting, there was a certain transparency in the leisure, as if everything was under control, calmly.
She only felt that her heavy mood suddenly relaxed. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. It was she who looked at it, bowed her head and smiled, she had been a mortal for so long, and her thinking still hadn't reversed.
How can one person make decisions for the whole world? No one person can save a world.
The only people who can decide the direction of this world are the people of this world, and from the day she chose to embark on the path of cultivation, she lost her qualification to be a mortal. But all things have spirits, and her Word does not destroy or kill.
Letting go of these, Jun Changning couldn't help but be more grateful to her master for waking up at the right time, she tilted her head to look at her master's face, the light projected from outside the car curtain shone on that face, and the whole person exuded a faint light, so beautiful that it didn't look like a real person.
She quickly lowered her head, spat on her lack of interest, took out her book, and continued to look at the place she had looked at before.
Suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Master, is it okay to ask Zen Feng?" ”
Xie Lanyong looked at her quietly for a while, smiled, and said, "Okay." ”
Jun Changning breathed a sigh of relief, smiled embarrassedly, and buried himself in the book again. I didn't see Xie Lanyong's complicated and deep eyes, and the smile on his lips that was blurred.
At that moment, Xie Lanyong's heart suddenly gave birth to a huge worry, it was stronger than any other moment, people who value love must have a difficult life, and monks who value love have a particularly difficult life.
Yue Wumian is like this, Bai Jingtong is like this, and he is also like this.
Xie Lanyong's fingers moved, he wanted to stroke the child's hair, but after thinking about it, he still held back.
It's really not a joy to travel together between two people who also don't have romantic cells, and it's even more boring if they don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
A simple carriage, swaying and leisurely carrying two people around most of the south of the Yangtze River, from the spring flowers blooming, to the midsummer heat cicada noise and insect chirping, with the autumn wind that has yellowed the green trees and red flowers brings bursts of plum rain, the cold snap comes as scheduled.
Standing on the top of the mountain where there was no snow but withering, Jun Changning looked at the back of his master, his eyes were as cold and clean as ever, innocent and indifferent.
"You're fifteen years old." Xie Lanyong didn't reply, and suddenly spoke.
Jun Changning blinked his eyes and replied, "Yes, Master." ”
The mountain wind blew their clothes violently, and a strand of long silver-white hair moved with the wind, sliding past Jun Changning's hand, her sleeves moved, letting it bring a hint of itching and then falling, lowering her eyelashes and not speaking.
Neither of them continued to speak, and was quiet for a while, Jun Changning almost doubted if Shizun had spoken just now, and she hooked the corners of her lips for this idea.
They stood on the top of this mountain for a long time, until there was no longer a ray of light between heaven and earth, and in pure darkness, Xie Lanyong turned around and went down the mountain: "Let's go." ”
"Yes." Jun Changning followed.
When he walked halfway up the mountain, the faint roar of wild beasts came and went, and Xie Lanyong in front of him suddenly asked, "Evil spirit, do you have anything you want?" ”
The tone was very calm, as casual as the nod of greeting acquaintances when they met, but Jun Changning couldn't answer for a long time, she walked behind him silently, thinking carefully.
Xie Lanyong did not urge.
After returning to the inn, under the light, Jun Changning laid out the paper and grinded, began to write, and Xie Lanyong meditated on the bed with his knees crossed.
The candle tears dripping from the candlestick are like strings of white mermaid tears, which are very beautiful. The cotton wick crackles from time to time over time.
The light was a little dim, Jun Changning stopped his pen, and after a while, he got up and picked up the scissors and cut the wick of the candle. Under the candlelight, the girl's face seemed to be warm, and the phoenix eyes were rippling with water, cold and beautiful.
She turned to look at the person meditating on the bed, smiled and said, "Master, I want to live as I wish." ”
"Will, heart, live, live?" Repeating these four words word by word, Xie Lanyong opened his eyes, looked at the girl who finally dared to look at him, and smiled slightly: "Very good idea." ”
Very good idea? What does that mean?
Jun Changning didn't understand, she wanted to ask, but saw that Xie Lanyong had closed her eyes, so she had to put her doubts in her heart, thought about it, and returned to the table to continue writing.
At dawn, Jun Changning put down the pen in his hand, kneaded his knuckles, got up and blew out the candles, glanced at Shizun, and went out lightly to prepare breakfast.
Xie Lanyong opened her eyes after she closed the door, stared at the door for a while, got up and pushed open the window, letting the cold air outside come in and dilute the smell of the burning candles in the room.
For a long time, a faint sigh dissipated in the air.
