Chapter 41, Justice and Position
"Chu Haoge?" Murong Xiaoyan looked back at Chu Haoge, and saw him sitting on the ground in fear, looking a little depressed, and he didn't care how ugly the death of the person in front of him was, so he hurriedly ran forward to check his situation and see if he was injured in the battle just now.
Murong Xiaoyan came to his side, pulled his arm for a while, twisted his head, and looked at his whole body, at first Chu Haoge didn't react, and looked at the pool of blood and corpses in front of him blankly, but Murong Xiaoyan's movements became bigger and bigger, Chu Haoge came back to his senses at this time, and turned his head to face Murong Xiaoyan's beautiful face, which was very close, almost as if it was about to be pasted.
If it were any other time, Murong Xiaoyan would definitely run away with a red face, but at this time, she didn't move, staring at his eyes quietly, her eyes were like stretching out an arm off the cliff, firmly grasping Chu Haoge, who was about to fall off the cliff, and pulling him back to reality.
"Mu ...... Murong ......" Chu Haoge stared at her face, the delicate facial features, long eyelashes, the bridge of the nose that stood like a hill, and the small and delicate mouth made his heart beat rapidly, and when he saw the strong concern in her eyes, his heart was like a bonfire rising in the cold night, and a warm current hit, and his voice trembled a little.
At this time, Murong Xiaoyan's body seemed to glow with a faint light, and the stars wrapped her body with a light like fireflies, and it also enveloped Chu Haoge's body, which looked very strange in the not dark sky, as if it was a miracle and a vision in her life.
Chu Haoge's originally somewhat chaotic mood actually regained his clarity, and he didn't look as frightened as he did just now, and he looked a lot calmer.
"You...... You okay. Chu Haoge and Murong Xiaoyan said at the same time, their voices were not loud, but they could hear each other clearly, but they said the same thing so coincidentally, the two of them fell into a state of coldness again, and no one continued to speak, Murong Xiaoyan also leaned back a little, otherwise he would be embarrassed and ashamed for a while.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Chu Haoge came back to his senses first, and hurriedly laughed: "No...... It's okay. Then act as if nothing had happened, and make your emotions look the same as usual.
As he spoke, he stood up on his own, but his legs were still trembling, and he almost didn't stand firm when he stood up, and fell to the ground, thanks to Murong Xiaoyan next to him, he reached out and helped Chu Haoge, which made him barely stabilize his body, Chu Haoge smiled awkwardly, and adjusted his state to calm down.
Murong looked at him, at this time, Chu Haoge had already returned to normal, still with his usual unserious expression, or his usual immature but somewhat angular face, but the feeling he gave to Murong was not like usual, this feeling was very strange, even she couldn't say one, two, three, she didn't know what was wrong with Chu Haoge, if she wanted to dig deeper, it could only be attributed to her intuition.
Chu Haoge stood up, a stiff smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Hehe, it scared me, I accidentally threw away all the weapons." As he spoke, he looked at the Starlight Sword on the ground again, as if he was laughing at himself and whispered, "I'm really useless......" and then he didn't care if Murong Xiaoyan heard it or not, no matter what her reaction was, he walked straight to the side of the Starlight Sword.
Xingmang was lying on the ground, and the red and viscous blood flowed just here, soaking the entire sword body with blood red, reflecting the sky that was almost yellow, showing an incomparably evil brilliance, and even making people feel that the blood was flowing along the starlight.
Chu Haoge leaned down and reached out to take it, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, it stopped in mid-air, only a few inches away from the Xingmang Sword, and he also stretched out his hand very hard, but all the force he used turned into the trembling appearance of his hand, it was like a person who used his strength to the extreme, and his entire arm and even the whole person would tremble with it.
Chu Haoge tried his best not to let himself look at the corpse next to him, but it was like a black hole that attracted his attention, the more he didn't want to look, the more difficult it was to leave his gaze, even if he tried his best to make himself only pay attention to the stars on the ground, his eyes would glance there from time to time.
At this time, Jiuli Qiantaro, who had not moved much on the side, stepped forward, Chu Haoge and Murong both glanced at her, it didn't matter under this look, no wonder she didn't act just now, it turned out that she was also frightened a lot, at this time her face was a little pale, her lips were also very pale, with her already fair skin, she looked like a beautiful female ghost.
Jiuli Qiantaro is not faint blood, and she will not be too obsessed with life and death, after all, she is a medical student, and she is used to seeing life and death, which is what doctors must experience since ancient times, just like Jiuli Qiantaro, why hasn't she seen life and death? But she has rarely seen murder, besides, this time the person's death was too cruel, from the shoulder to the waist, the whole body was almost cut in half, although she knew that Chu Haoge did not do it intentionally, but she was still a little uncomfortable, her stomach churned, and after a few retching, she became like this.
Chu Haoge saw her come forward, and his hand also resumed his movements, and quickly grabbed the Xingmang Sword on the ground, his movements were very fast, and his fingers scratched a few finger marks on the ground, he picked up the Xingmang, regardless of the sand in his hand, just mentioned it there, standing still, he didn't know what he should do next.
"Huh." Jiu Li Qiantaro glanced at him, and then very understandingly pinched a water spell, rinsed all the blood on the starlight, and by the way, also rinsed his hands, washing away the sand in his hands.
Chu Haoge was a little stunned again, but he felt the coolness in his hand, as if an ice spring was blowing, his expression was clear again, and he forgot about Jiuli Qiantaro very gratefully, and Jiuli Qiantaro nodded and smiled slightly.
"Chu Haoge, you're okay." Behind him, Murong stepped forward and patted his shoulder with his hand.
"Hmm...... OK. Chu Haoge nodded and turned his head to look at Murong.
Murong looked at the way he turned around, and then he reflected, yes, Chu Haoge had never hurt someone's life, and he had never really wanted to kill anyone along the way, and if so, it would have to be said that it was caused by his delirium after the storm.
Murong Xiaoyan looked at Chu Haoge, who was pretending to be fine, he had killed someone by mistake just now to save himself, thinking of this, she remembered that when she was a child, she saw blood for the first time in the sect, and killed a person for the first time, although that person was a villain, he actually had ill intentions towards her, who was just a little girl at the time, but ...... That's a human life.
I still remember that she was even worse than Chu Haoge at that time, she vomited at that time, and she didn't even fall asleep for a long time, she once heard that some people are destined to be executioners by birth, and some people are destined to be good people by birth, but Murong disagrees with this point of view, who is born to kill, who is destined to soak his hands in blood, everyone has a different past for other people, leading him to a different path.
Looking at Chu Haoge in front of her, she felt that this guy who usually likes to talk to herself is not as strong as he seems on the surface, at least he will not soon let go of him and end a life with his own hands...... After all, he is still a big boy.
The weakest part of Murong's heart was hit, his heart was a little bitter, his nose was also a little sour, looking at Chu Haoge like this, he was very distressed, maybe this was not what he should bear...... But...... How could he not bear it? After Chu Haoge became a famous general, he regarded himself as a ranger all the way, how could he lie on his stomach softly, and he didn't dare to hurt people's lives when he came out of his sword, if so, Chu Haoge had too many concerns, then his kendo achievements would end here, after all, heroes were washed out of blood.
"Chu Haoge." Murong said, she made up her mind, she must help Chu Haoge overcome her fear, she knows what it will be like after everyone kills someone, some people will faint on the spot with fright, and some people will not feel anything before, but after waiting for a while, they will become more and more afraid. Although Murong didn't know what kind of Chu Haoge was, she knew that if she wanted to overcome this fear, she had to let him admit what he had done from the bottom of his heart, and let him know that there was nothing wrong with doing so, so that he could eliminate the guilt in his heart, which was why many people killed innocents indiscriminately under the banner of doing things for heaven.
"Huh?" Chu Haoge responded to her, staring at her with straight eyes, he could just look at Murong and not look at the terrifying place like a black hole.
"Look." Murong pointed to the bloody corpse in front of him, and the ground covered with blood, it was extremely disgusting, it made people feel like vomiting when they saw it, Murong Xiaoyan knew that this was indeed very cruel, but if the demon fell in Chu Haoge's heart, then I am afraid the consequences would be more serious, sometimes, cruelty is not out of malice.
"How?" The smile on Chu Haoge's face just now froze suddenly, and he turned his head stiffly to look there, but his eyes glanced to the side, desperately trying to keep his eyes away from there, as if there was something terrifying there.
Seeing Murong like this, Jiuli Qianyao wanted to take a step forward to stop her, but she also saw that Chu Haoge's current state was not very good, but she thought about it, Murong Xiaoyan probably wouldn't harm Chu Haoge, and all these actions may have other meanings. In this way, she didn't come forward to do much, and first saw what Murong Xiaoyan wanted to do.
Murong Xiaoyan took a step forward, turned around, and smiled at Chu Haoge and said, "What's wrong?" Chu Haoge, are you afraid? ”
"...... me? I didn't! Chu Haoge's voice paused a little, and he said stiffly, but after all, he didn't have any confidence, he didn't dare to look at the scene behind Murong Xiaoyan, let alone look at Murong Xiaoyan's eyes, he didn't want to admit that he was useless.
Chu Haoge still wanted to say something, but Murong's expression suddenly became extremely serious, he looked directly into Chu Haoge's eyes, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Thank you Chu Haoge, if it weren't for you, it would be me who is lying there now." ”
Chu Haoge thought that Murong Xiaoyan was going to say something sarcastic, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and the scene of Murong lying in a pool of blood began to appear in his mind, there was no longer a trace of blood on his beautiful face, blood-colored flowers bloomed on his body, and her slender jade hands that had been touched with him were as delicate and boneless as clotted fat would no longer have temperature. "No!" Chu Haoge suddenly let out a low roar, he was awakened by his own roar, and when he saw the scene around him, it seemed that what he saw just now was not real, so he quickly shook his head and threw out the scene in her mind just now.
He didn't allow this kind of thing to happen, absolutely not, suddenly a very selfish emotion surged up, he felt that the person just now deserved to die, there was nothing wrong with him doing this, if it was again, he would definitely kill this guy who wanted to be unfavorable to Murong Xiaoyan without hesitation.
He looked at the place that was unbearable just now, and the sense of fear and guilt was swept away, admittedly, this is the difference in position, some people say that everyone's justice is different, but in fact, they just put the so-called justice on their own position, in fact, in our opinion, there is no good or evil, right or wrong. Who can say whether Chu Haoge was right or wrong to do this, he saved Murong, he was killing people in defense, but on the other hand, he did kill people's lives.
"Whew." Chu Haoge exhaled, and after this breath was exhaled, Chu Haoge no longer avoided like just now, he said, "Well, I said, I will protect you." ”
Murong who was still comforting him was stunned when he heard his words, and his first reaction was that this sentence was so familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, by the way, wasn't this the rhetoric he said when he proposed to go with him when he was in Chang'an? It's been so long, Chu Haoge didn't have the strength at that time, but after getting along for so long, Murong Xiaoyan absolutely believed that Chu Haoge would protect her and have the ability to protect her.
"Hmm......" Murong Xiaoyan replied and said, "I know." I still remember that Murong gave him a response at that time, "I think I want me to protect you......" This time she didn't say that, nodded, and looked at Chu Haoge with a slightly red face.
"Let's bury him, anyway, the man is dead, let him be buried in the ground." Chu Haoge looked at Jiuli Qianyao and Murong Xiaoyan with some embarrassment, and after speaking, he took the lead in stepping forward......

In the courtyard, Old Man Mei was drinking tea, holding a fan in the other hand, humming a little song in his mouth and looking very comfortable.
"Master, you look much better recently than before." The black iron hand next to him also sat on the side and said with a smile.
Old man Mei took a sip of tea before saying, "People have happy events, let alone two." Old man Mei looked at the black iron hand meaningfully, and said with a smile.
"Two?" He heard the master say that "people are happy events" a little embarrassed, the so-called happy event is probably that he quit gambling and drugs, I think about this for a long time, it really made the master worry a lot, but the master just said that it was two, which made him a little strange, there has been no big joy in the family recently.
"Hmm......" Old man Mei didn't say anything about the black iron hand, I believe that even if he didn't say the black iron hand, he would know, Old man Mei looked up at the sky, his eyes were blurred as if he was recalling the past: "The knot in my heart that has been entangled for more than 20 years has finally been untied, happy!" Joyfully! His voice grew stronger and more intense.
