8. Guarding the heart (middle)
There was no confusion in every sentence, and Zhang Longqian was speechless.
"As a general, on the battlefield, any decision I make will be related to the life and death of the whole army, how can I tolerate the kindness of half a woman? Even if you don't want to, when you kill...... "paused slightly, and the white eyes were sharp and resolute," it must not be the slightest confusion. ”
In a trance, Zhang Longqian saw the trace of unbearability in Bai Qi's eyes before he gave the order during the Battle of Changping, and remembered those small figures who stumbled and ran away, she groaned for a while and asked: "Since, as you said, there can be no mercy on the battlefield, why let go of more than 240 people?" Even if they were to go back and report the news, they wouldn't need so many people, would they? ”
"Seeing the death of 400,000 people with their own eyes, it is impossible for them to raise the slightest intention to fight, even if more than 200 people are sent back, what does it matter? Moreover, this group of people can just give me a good publicity in Zhao State, and let them know how irresistible Qin's army is. What's more......" Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh lightly, "They're all just children." ”
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Longqian was not surprised, but had a feeling of "it was really so".
After all, just imagine, if Bai Qi is really a big killer and a "human slaughter", how could he save Zhang Longqian, who he didn't know, just on the grounds of "seeing others bullying the weak"?
This person, if he was in a different era and in a different situation, should be a "chivalrous" who does what he wants, rather than a "general" who carries the burden of the country and has no freedom......
Looking at this famous "God of War" in a somewhat complicated way, Zhang Longqian noticed that his neatly tied hair had long been gray, his hair was also mixed with white, his face was a little more wrinkled than when he saw it in the illusion, but his upright face was still full of fortitude, and the black and white pupils were still as sharp as if he could see through everything, and his upright and heroic strength had not diminished at all, but with the helplessness of the vicissitudes of time, and the tranquility and indifference of seeing through everything.
He didn't look like a general who fought in all directions, just like an ordinary half-hundred-hundred-year-old man.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but speak softly: "Wu Anjun, you ...... Do you regret it? ”
"You mean killing so many prisoners of war in the Battle of Changping?"
The corners of his mouth were hooked and he smiled slightly, and his white face was full of determination.
"I have never regretted it. I have fought countless battles in my life, I have never tasted defeat, I have a great reputation by stepping on the bones everywhere, born on the battlefield, wielding weapons for the country, killing the enemy and beheading it is a matter of course, since I have chosen to fight for a lifetime, I should not be merciful, I will not be merciful, even if the bones under my feet are piled up into a mountain, and the blood gathers into a sea, I have never regretted it. However, I will not deny that it was my 'sin'. The voice was calm and steady, and there was a little relief in Bai Qi's eyes, "I have been dead for more than 2,200 years, but I have stayed in the underworld and have not been reincarnated, and I have been tortured in the hell of Naabi, which is also considered my crime I deserve." ”
Hearing Bai Qi being so calm, Zhang Longqian was a little puzzled.
She doesn't know much about the affairs of the underworld, but she only knows that in addition to the first hall in charge of judgment and the tenth hall in charge of reincarnation, the other eight halls are in charge of a big hell, among which the ninth hall of the Abi Hell is the most cruel and terrible, which is full of ghosts who have committed murderous crimes in their lifetimes, and they suffer the most severe punishment all the time, until the ghosts who are harmed by them are reincarnated one by one, they can leave the Abi Hell and release the tenth hall to the six realms.
Bai Qi has killed countless people, and if all the people who died in his hands are reincarnated, it is reasonable to wait for more than 2,000 years, but this is also equivalent to him being tortured in the Abi Hell for more than 2,000 years, so it is no wonder that he has become a demon for such a long time. However, after more than 2,000 years of suffering such an unimaginable punishment, why can he still be so calm? Even if he has a righteous heart, but he still falls into the cruelest hell, has he never hated or resented?
Looking at the chivalrous figure, Zhang Longqian hesitated for a long time, but still opened his mouth incomprehensibly.
"Wu Anjun, you have never resented the result of suffering for a thousand years in the Abi Hell for the sake of the country?"
"Never."
"Why? Killing people isn't what you want, is it? Why don't you resent the pain of more than 2,000 years of suffering because of what you had to do? ”
"Because, for whatever reason, taking someone else's life is an irrefutable 'sin.'"
A calm sentence made Zhang Longqian stunned.
"I had to kill so many people for the sake of the country, but it's not something to boast about. This is indeed a 'sin', so I have long been determined. Looking at Zhang Longqian, whose expression was a little subtle for some reason, Bai Qi said in an extremely light and natural tone, "Bear the weight of those people's lives, the determination to continue to live for the country, and the determination to repay the sins one by one after I no longer have to care about the country." As long as I always remember what is in my heart, how can I be resentful? ”
Therefore, he was able to stay in the cruelest hell for more than 2,000 years without losing his mind, and he was still the same white rise more than 2,000 years ago.
It's so simple, just because I remember what I think in my heart and keep my heart.
Great benevolence and righteousness.
In addition to these four words, Zhang Longqian didn't know what other words could describe the person in front of him.
-- Although he is now only a ghost, a thousand-year-old demon, completely out of the category of "human", he is more like a "human" than a living human being.
Whatever the reason, taking someone else's life is an irrefutable "sin."
This is Bai Qi's idea, and it is also Zhang Longqian's insistence that has always been hidden deep in his heart.
Since seeing the people she cherishes leave that year, Zhang Longqian has deeply understood the heaviness and cherishment of life, so even if she stepped into the dark realm, she has always insisted on not taking anyone's life, so she has come all the way through with difficulty.
No one has the right to take the life of another.
What a simple fact, but it seems to be completely non-existent in this seemingly peaceful college.
It is only because of the "inevitability" caused by the "fate" that no one can see, that everyone here can ignore their lives and take away the right of others to live without hesitation.
No one was confused about this, everyone was so accustomed to it, but it seemed that Zhang Longqian, who had doubts about it, was abnormal.
In such an abnormal world, I heard the same thoughts from a demon who had been dead for more than 2,000 years.
How ironic.
