"Sign down, there has been a bloody disaster recently. The blind Taoist priest fumbled for the hexagram and answered truthfully.

Xing Zhen is not afraid of the so-called bloody disaster, and his mind is completely on Pu Gongling. blurted out and asked, "What happened to my brother Changran?"

The blind Taoist priest pointed to the city gate: "After entering, you only need to wait for three days." ”

After answering, the blind Taoist priest said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", and he did not say much. No matter how much Xingzhen pleaded, even if he increased the reward to fifty dragon money, he still couldn't get him to speak.

Xing Zhen had no choice but to leave with the puppy cub.

The blind Taoist priest also got up and muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "Counting things is the best policy, and attacking the heart is the best policy." ”

Then he threw the dragon money he had just earned on the table next to him. The clanging sound woke up the sleeping rich Taoist priest.

The blind Taoist priest gathered his seat and walked to the city gate. Turning his back to the rich Taoist priest and throwing down a sentence: "The money belongs to you, you should eat and drink, and squander it to your heart's content." ”

Behind him, the Taoist who had aged in an instant was left behind, and he trembled and stood up. A small dragon money seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and it is quite laborious to pick it up. After Long Yuqian was grasped in the palm of his hand, there was a crushing foam falling between his fingers.

But he said that if he couldn't ask the truth, he wouldn't ask, and as the blind Taoist priest said, he valued this friendship between the rivers and lakes. Even if there is a bloody disaster, this trip to Zhenxi County is imperative.

As for now, let's find a stall to eat and drink enough. I ordered two portions of scallion pancakes and two bowls of porridge. One person, one dog, half a family.

Xingzhen is seventeen this year, and he can be counted as an adult. The boy has grown up, and his body is slender and straight. Coupled with the black sword box on his back, he knew at a glance that he was a person who had traveled the rivers and lakes.

The appearance is still mediocre, and the original knife-like face has a bit of fortitude. But after being dyed black, all temperament is masked.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xing Zhen caught a glimpse of many people's eyes looking at this side, he didn't think he had anything extraordinary, so he looked around curiously.

The moment I turned around, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. A woman in her twenties, a fairy, to be exact. The atmosphere of youth is pervasive, and the delicate facial features are natural and cannot find the slightest flaw. The delicate skin can be broken by blowing, but it is white but not pale.

Holding a snow-white elk beside him, he also ordered two scallion pancakes and two bowls of porridge. One person, one deer, one for each family, the eating appearance of a white elk. A fight with a puppy, if the appetite is good enough, I guess I want to swallow the bowl together.

The woman swallowed in small bites and chewed slowly, her movements were graceful but not slow. When the cherry takes a small bite and blows the hot porridge, it spits out an orchid-like aroma and suppresses the porridge.

Xing Zhen, who was stunned, couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Alarmed by the incomprehensible woman, who raised her head and smiled lightly.

The beneficiary really smirked in response, while some of the men around him. I want to devour this swarthy boy alive and take his place.

Xing Zhen felt countless angry gazes, and a chill ran down his spine. He turned around in a daze, lowered his head and continued to eat and drink.

Suddenly, his shoulders sank, he was slapped on the face, and an inaudible voice came from his ears: "Fancy it, I can introduce you to you if I like it." Her name is Lu Xiaoliang, and she is the talented woman of the first sect in Longqi Prefecture, and her fortune is the best in a state. With luck and luck, you can pick up the treasure casually, not to mention the appearance, you can also see it. ”

"Such a beautiful and rich lord can't be found with a lantern. If you like it, you like it, there's nothing to be ashamed of, and if you want me to introduce it, you can say it directly. ”

Xing Zhen looked up, just in time to meet a dry, wrinkled old face. The person who spoke was the old Xiucai he met when Xing Zhen went to Beiliang and just came out of Qingyang Town.

At that time, with the help of the wine in the vermilion wine gourd of Lao Xiucai, Xing Zhen successfully broke through the second realm. This person not only has no enmity with Xingzhen, but also has kindness.

The young man immediately got up and hugged his fists: "I've seen my seniors, but I haven't thanked you for what happened that day, it's really a regret for my juniors." ”

Lao Xiucai grabbed Xing Zhen and sat back in place, made a silent gesture and said angrily: "Don't be public, it's not easy to be heard by her." Back then, the steamed buns were exchanged for wine, and there was nothing unkind. Let's talk about whether I have seen Lu Xiaoliang or not, with my old face, I can introduce you to each other. My Fair Lady and Gentleman, don't be embarrassed. ”

The punishment is really embarrassing, although the woman's appearance and temperament are good, but the first meeting is not optimistic or not. And he didn't want to waste time on the private affairs of these children, so he immediately excused himself: "Thank you seniors for your kindness, and you have received it in my heart." ”

Lao Xiucai nodded slightly: "Well, it's okay." ”

Xing Zhen asked rhetorically: "My predecessors have been traveling in the Dalu Dynasty in recent years, and this time they are also going to Zhenxi County?"

Lao Xiucai waved his hand again and again and said, "How is it possible, I want to see the five peaks of the Sword Sect this time, and by the way, find someone to reason and break it." ”

Xing Zhen was puzzled and asked, "In this case, senior, the direction of your trip is wrong." The Sword Sect is in Beiliang, it should be in the north. ”

Lao Xiucai said in one word: "I came here specifically to find you." ”

The two of them didn't mention Lu Xiaoliang's affairs, and they didn't hide their words. Replace it with normal sounds, and you can hear each other clearly.

Seeing that Xing Zhen was puzzled, Lao Xiucai said calmly: "I have been to Qingyang Town, and there is a woman in yellow who asks me to send you a message. ”

Xing Zhen was even more puzzled after hearing this, in the past, it was good for the fairy sister to send the word directly, how could she ask others to convey it this time. However, Xing Zhen believes in the fairy sister and doesn't want others to know about her existence, so she can definitely hide it from everyone.

Now that Lao Xiu knows, it is possible that it was really the fairy sister who instructed him. said: "Senior, please speak." ”

Lao Xiucai took off the vermilion wine gourd, poured a big mouthful of "ha", and then said: "I will ask you a question first, and after answering truthfully, I will convey the words to you." ”

"You would choose the sacrifice of one person's life compared to the loss of the lives of millions. ”

Xing Zhen thought about it and said slowly: "The life of tens of millions of people is life, and the life of one person is also life. There is no distinction between them, and one cannot ignore the existence of one person because of the large number of tens of millions. The question of the seniors, I don't want to choose it. ”

Lao Xiucai was surprised: "The kid is good." But do you have to make a choice? Do you sacrifice one person to protect thousands of people, or do you sacrifice thousands of people to survive?"

Xing Zhen insisted without thinking: "I don't have the right to make decisions about other people's lives, everyone has the right to live." There is also the right to choose, not to be dominated by others or to be chosen by others. ”

Lao Xiucai didn't appreciate it this time, but scolded: "You don't have an open head." ”

Then he asked, "If one person is you, you can choose for yourself this time, right?"

Xing Zhen nodded slowly: "You can indeed choose by yourself." ”

The moment he lowered his head, he found that his scallion pancakes and porridge were gone. I turned my head to see the puppy cub who had been silent, munching on a brand new scallion pancake. There are two large bowls in front of him, one empty and the other full of porridge.

Xing Zhen laughed and scolded: "You gluttonous dog." ”

Then he asked, "Did the seniors have breakfast, do you want to come together?"

Lao Xiucai replied very politely: "Yes, yes!"

For those who are kind to themselves, the punishment is never stingy. The same cake and porridge with two extra eggs. There is no gluttonous puppy, and he ignores the complaining little eyes.

Lao Xiucai took a sip of hot porridge and felt refreshed. Continue to ask: "Boy, haven't you answered my question just now?"

After thinking for a moment, Xing Zhen said: "I may choose to save the lives of tens of millions of people, if nothing else, at least there are my relatives and friends and people I want to protect among the tens of millions of people." I'm willing to give everything for the people I want to protect. ”

Lao Xiucai gave a thumbs up: "The punishment is really good." ”

Then Zhengse said: "What I said is the truth, and the woman in yellow asked me to ask you." Now that you've made your choice, you'll have to agree to the woman in yellow's message. ”

Xing Zhen's face did not change and said: "Since you have decided, you will not regret it, senior, please say." “

Lao Xiucai patted the small gourd on Xing Zhen's waist and asked, "Can it be used once in it?"

Xing Zhen was so shocked that he even knew the sprouts inside. It seems that he has indeed seen the fairy sister, and there is no doubt that this person's words can be believed.

"Indeed, please also ask the seniors to make it clear. ”

"It's not hard, before you get to the Trapped Cave. No matter what difficulties you encounter, even if you are facing life and death, you can't use the contents of the gourd. After Lao Xiucai finished speaking, he observed the real changes in the sentence.

The latter's face did not change: "We will never break our word when we say it." ”

"Okay, good" Lao Xiucai said three good things in a row, and his mood was also very good. Only then did he remember that there was still food waiting in front of him, and he greeted: "I believe you will do what you say, don't look stupid, you will get cold if you don't eat." ”

Since you have made your choice, just stick to it. The so-called life and death events, who can say for sure what will happen in the future. Instead of thinking too much, it's better to eat your fill for now. After thinking about it, Xing Zhen was not polite, and he was bored and chopped up.

The sound of two people and one dog eating continued, and the oil cake and porridge were eaten by these three guys. After the wind and clouds passed, there was nothing left.

Lao Xiucai wiped his mouth and poured another sip of wine to smooth his throat. Xing Zhen was completely speechless, this is a drunkard. Drink it early in the morning, and you don't need to have a side snack.

As for the old Xiucai, he didn't face the eyes of the criminal truth at all. "It's not easy to meet once, let's talk about it, travel all the way from Shushui Country to Beiliang." Have you really read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and have you encountered things you can't understand. I have time now and can help you with a question or two. ”

Xing Zhen said frankly: "The road has traveled thousands of miles, and I haven't read tens of thousands of books. ”

Lao Xiucai laughed: "As expected, it's just a metaphor and don't need to be more serious." And then, is there anything you don't understand?"

Xing Zhen thought about it and told him what happened in Ping'an Temple, which is also a question that the young man has been hiding in his heart, why he obviously helped the villagers. In the end, he was misunderstood by the villagers, and was sued by them to the government.

What should we do if we encounter this kind of thing again in the future, should we take care of it, should we help it? What should we do if we are still misunderstood by the villagers, and should we blame these villagers?

Lao Xiucai solved Xingzhen's last question in one sentence: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and they didn't make a big mistake." So you shouldn't blame the villagers, they are also being bewitched. ”

As for whether you should care about whether you should help in the future, Lao Xiucai did not give a direct answer. Instead, he tapped Zhenzhen's chest and said, "You ask it." ”

Xing Zhen understands what Lao Xiucai means, and he has to ask himself. No one has to do things that are enjoyable and unremunerative. It's whether anyone is willing to do it, that is, whether they want to do it or not.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xing Zhencai nodded slowly and said, "Maybe I will do it again." ”

Lao Xiucai nodded unexpectedly, and then said: "To do some things, you don't have to be recognized by others, or you have to be paid by others. It's the intention, done or done, and the mood suddenly opens up and clears. If you turn a blind eye against your heart, you may leave a knot in your state of mind forever. ”

"When the realm is low, this knot doesn't matter. But when your realm is high, this knot will be infinitely magnified, and even become a dead knot. Not only will it hinder your cultivation, but it will also cost you your life. ”

Seeing that Xing Zhen's forehead was sweating, Lao Xiucai continued: "Don't deliberately think about this, just let everything flow." Everyone's heart will be different with growth and experience, since your heart has been formed, don't deliberately change it. ”

"The so-called halfway is so, and if you change it, you will be abolished. ”
