Xu Deshan became a good mentor at this moment, teaching Li He Bai Ruidao, "I said that you sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes should not be broad-minded and informal, why are you still worried about a few taels of silver, with your reach, you can go to the street to grab a few merchants, or steal a few big households at night, isn't it just a lot of silver?" ”

Xu Deshan's words pointed out an unprecedented bright road to Li He Bai Rui, Bai Rui instantly longed for a happy life in the future, and Li He said hesitantly, "We are Buddhist King Kong, and we are not robbers and thieves, how can we do that stealing thing." ”

Xu Deshan said, "If you don't steal or rob, then let's run now, they will definitely not catch us." ”

Li He now, there is a feeling that Xu Caizheng often had before, that is, a feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, and he felt good about himself before, but since he met Xu Deshan, there is always a feeling that he is old and can no longer keep up with the trend of the times, this Xu Deshan, as a hostage, can not only talk to the kidnappers about the way to kill, but also instigate himself as a kidnapper to commit crimes.

Bai Rui was very interested in Xu Deshan's idea, touched Li He and said, "Brother Li, I think Xu Deshan's idea is very good, we have now been recorded by the shopkeeper, if we run away, wouldn't we be arrested by the government, and when the time comes, it is really not good to expose his whereabouts, it is better to use his method, let's stay here for one more day, and when the evening comes, I will go to a big family and take him a few taels of silver to respond to the emergency." ”

Li He frowned, although the two of them are now full of evil, and there are dozens of people who have been killed, but the people he killed are all people who betrayed Maitreya Buddhism, no matter how cruel and ruthless he is, he is also carrying out the task of Maitreya Buddhism, which is for the good of Maitreya Buddhism, which is the same as the war between the two countries and killing people on the battlefield, he is just a killing machine, and he does not have a trace of his own thoughts in the middle.

Killing people like this is acceptable in Li He's opinion, all the goals are to be able to follow the sect leader into the Western Elysium, there must be someone who sacrifices for my Buddha, no matter how much blood you have on your hands, it is all allowed by my Buddha, and your soul is still clean and accepted by the Buddha.

But now, Xu Deshan asked himself to steal and rob, Li He was a little unacceptable, this has nothing to do with the size of the matter, this is a matter of principle, it is related to the purity of his soul, Li He began to be entangled and hesitated, while Bai Rui next to him did not have so many ideas, and said, "Brother Li, you don't need to do it this time, I'll just go, let's borrow some, when the time comes, we have plenty of money, and it's a big deal to return it." ”

Li He was upset, and naturally knew that most of the money could not be exchanged back, which was somewhat contrary to his beliefs, but it was even worse to run away like this, there was no way, he could only nod, Bai Rui suddenly came to his senses, and said, "You guys are resting here, I'll go out, walk around the street, and see how the customs are here." ”

Bai Rui said, his face couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, packed up his belongings, hid a short knife in his arms, and then pushed the door and walked out, Li He saw the five flavors in his heart, I don't know what it felt like, what was the original intention of joining Maitreya Buddhism, in order to find a home for his soul, but now I don't know when, I have gone farther and farther on this road, becoming a murderous demon king, although I am trying my best to protect my inner name, but I can't deny that I have fallen, is getting farther and farther away from his original intention.

Looking at Bai Rui's current behavior, you can know that in normal times, the two are hidden in the dark, either killing or being killed, and there is still a restraint in the wildness of their hearts, but after meeting Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan led them to another world, where there is wine and food everywhere, extravagance, and countless silver, which are placed in front of their eyes, and they are allowed to take what they want, and their mentality explodes all of a sudden.

Think about it, the money is in front of you and you can't take it, the beauty is in front of you and you can't get it, this is to ask a person to have a lot of self-control, and these people who are on the edge of life and death are definitely not one of them, Li He may still hesitate, and Bai Rui has not hesitated to abandon his beliefs and completely fall into the darkness.

Seeing that Bai Rui was gone, only Li He and Xu Deshan were left in the room, Li He looked at Xu Deshan who was smiling in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more terrifying he felt, a kind of fear emanating from the depths of his soul, which made Li He feel a chill in his back, and couldn't help but shiver.

The situation in front of him will not be deliberately set up by Xu Deshan to let the two of them take the bait, suddenly thinking of this, Li He no longer dares to look at Xu Deshan's eyes, for fear that Xu Deshan will hook his soul in the next second, Li He has a hunch that it is best for him to kill the person in front of him now, otherwise, he will definitely die in his hands.

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "Brother Li, the matter of the silver will be handed over to Bai Rui, let's not worry anymore, I think the weather is good today, why don't we ask for some wine and food, how about eating and drinking?" ”

Li He resisted the urge to strangle Xu Deshan and said, "We have no money, what else do we eat?" ”

"It's because we don't have money that we have to make a show to Xiao Er, you relax, if you let people see it, no."

That's right, I'm afraid I'll ask you for money later. ”

After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he didn't care whether Li He agreed or not, opened the door to the lobby, first ordered four cold and four hot, one pound of dim sum, the shopkeeper was also fresh, I had seen a lot of food, but I haven't seen anyone who just had breakfast and had lunch, but who doesn't do business, looking at the neat rope Xu Deshan was wearing, he didn't doubt it, and he promised to send Xu Deshan back to the guest room.

Xu Deshan came back, saw that Li He was still stunned, and said with a smile, "What are you doing, you won't chase me when I go downstairs, if you don't care about me, I'll run away." ”

Li He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, after living together for so many days, Li He and Bai Rui had long regarded Xu Deshan as their own, and they had no defense against Xu Deshan, wasn't it just now, the children let Xu Deshan leave their sight alone, even if Xu Deshan took the opportunity to run away, he didn't know.

Thinking of this, Li He was sweating again, and subconsciously stood up, wanting to take any measures against Xu Deshan, and then thought about it, Xu Deshan couldn't run, what can he do to others, Li He stood there embarrassed.

Xu Deshan comforted Li He and said, "Brother Li, don't be nervous, I already said when I left, I want to join our Maitreya Buddhism, and I still want to mix with a deputy sect leader, I won't run away, don't worry." ”

Li He nodded and sat down blankly, silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Xu Deshan lay on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated.

After a while, the dish Xu Deshan asked for was done, and a guy brought it up, and set up a table in the guest room, and the two sat on the edge of the table, eating without a bite. If it were on weekdays, these good wines and dishes, the two of them would probably have eaten in full swing, but today, the two obviously have their own thoughts, Li He didn't say a word, and Xu Deshan was also thoughtful.

Li He has always been very confident in the blade in his hand, wherever his steel knife goes, no one can stop his edge, but now standing in front of Xu Deshan, Li He feels that he is so isolated and helpless, Xu Deshan seems to be able to play with himself in the palm of his hand, as long as he wants, he can kill himself at any time, this feeling is very absurd, but it is also very real, this is Li He's intuition exercised between life and death, but, looking at Xu Deshan's five-year-old body, Li He doesn't know that it is applicable to Xu Deshan.

Li He was stunned, but when he heard Xu Deshan calling himself, Li He hurriedly cleaned up his mood and didn't think about anything.

Xu Deshan raised his glass to Li He and said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you today, I see that you have something on your mind, and you have become sullen." ”

Li He also raised his wine glass and tried his best to hide it, "It's nothing, it may be that the Xuanyi Army is coming soon, and we are going to separate, and my mood is a little low." ”

Xu Deshan said, "What's this, who said that we won't meet after Xuanyijun, and after I become the master of Buddhism, I will definitely meet more." ”

Li He heard Xu Deshan mention the deputy sect leader who had been said countless times along the way, smiled slightly, noncommittal, Xu Deshan said to himself, "Speaking of which, if I can become the deputy sect leader, it will be thanks to the help of the two of you." ”

Xu Deshan said and raised his glass and touched Li He, drank the wine, and then said to himself, "You said that my life is really wonderful, when I was three years old, there were nine heavens Xuannu to teach the Book of Heaven, and when I was four years old, I was able to make friends with the Zhixian Zhizhou pacification envoy, and now I am five years old, and I was even arrested by you Maitreya Buddhism, and the life of a person is so bizarre, fast, fast." ”

Talking to a five-year-old child about life, Li He felt a little spinning, and Xu Deshan asked instead, "Li He, what do you think of your life?" ”

Li He was stunned again, he didn't know how Xu Deshan talked about this topic, although this topic is a bit profound, but there is a topic to talk about, and it is better to pass the time than to sit like this, otherwise Li He has the urge to strangle Xu Deshan every time he sees Xu Deshan.

Li He picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, looked at the air with his eyes, a little distracted, and said, "Your life is bizarre, my life may encounter the most may be death, I have no parents since I can remember, I can only wander on the street and beg for a living, people who have been with me since childhood, every year they either starve to death, or freeze to death, and every year, there are more people to join, fortunately, I grew up like this, once just in time for my dynasty to conquer Liao, expand the border army, I joined the army, entered the Weilu army, into the army, There were more deaths around me, and every time I went into battle, one or two of the people I knew were never seen, and those who were able to come back, some could only scream in the camp for a few days, and then still die with a whimper, and luckily, I survived it again.

Speaking of this, Li He unconsciously drank all the wine in the wine glass, Xu Deshan poured wine for Li He next to him, Li He continued, "After that battle, the Weilu army withdrew from the front line, I thought that from now on, I could stay away from death, but even if I return to the rear, I have to go out to suppress bandits every year, and there are still people who keep dying under my sword." ”

Li He drank another glass of wine and said, "When I killed someone, I felt happy at first, and I felt that I could finally take revenge on this society, but when I killed more, I got bored, I felt very empty, very scared, I was afraid that I would enter the eighteenth floor after I died."

Hell is not allowed to turn over, so when Maitreya Buddhism appeared, my first reaction was to join, and I wanted to seek protection from Maitreya Buddha, so that my previous sins could be purified. ”

Speaking of this, Li He showed a wry smile, "However, I didn't expect that after I joined Maitreya Buddhism, what I could do for the Buddha was to kill people, keep killing people, perhaps, I was born to kill people all my life." ”

After Li He finished speaking, his eyes were very confused, looking into the distance without thinking, not knowing whether he was recalling his life or doubting his beliefs, Xu Deshan poured Li He another glass of wine, Li He just held the wine glass and stopped drinking.

After a long time, Xu Deshan asked, "Then you, do you regret this life?" ”

Li He frowned and said with a smile, "What do you regret, I was born with this life, what's the use of regretting it?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Not necessarily, you didn't have a choice when you were young, but when you grow up, you can choose not to enter the army, but to do business, study, farming, work, all walks of life, as long as you work hard, you will definitely not starve to death, if you choose other industries, you will not kill." ”

Li He thought for a while and said, "No, I think about it now, put the opportunity to choose in front of me, I may still choose to join the army, with my temper, I'm afraid I was not born to be the kind of person who can do things in a down-to-earth manner, I have been bold since I was a child, brave, and can solve things with my fists, it will never be reasonable, no matter what my choice is, I'm afraid I will go on the same road, if I say so, I will be glad that I joined the army at the beginning, if I didn't go to the army, I'm afraid I have been arrested by the government now, The autumn queen was beheaded. ”

Xu Deshan asked, "Then why did you join Maitreya Buddhism?" Is it just for peace of mind? But after you join the church, you are still killing people, so isn't it very contradictory that you are doing this. ”

Li He thought for a while and said, "It's also contradictory, it's not contradictory, I first joined the religion to avoid killing, but in the end, I found that there are people who want to die in this world, if I kill one person, I can reduce the death of two people, then it is worth it for me to kill this person." ”

Li He's truth is very extreme, but Xu Deshan did not refute him directly, but said, "Then have you ever thought that if you kill someone, you will kill someone after all, if there is a way, wouldn't it be best if you can kill no one." ”

Li He smiled and said, "You doll, born in a rich family, how do you know the pain points of the poor family, every year drought and flood, landlord exploitation, scholar oppression, mediocre officials, heavy taxes, which is not the pressure of the poor breathless, you look at the way you left Gaoyang, spending money like running water, but where do you know, maybe the silver you eat for a meal is already a family can not expect in a year." ”

Li He said in the end, he was already a little angry, Xu Deshan shook his head and said, "You are wrong again, it is true that I am rich, but it is also wrong for me to be rich, but everyone will dream that they are rich, if everyone is rich, is everyone wrong, this society is originally unequal, there are relatively rich, there are relatively poor, the rich will be rich naturally have his reason, the poor also have his reasons, if you vent your anger on the rich, wouldn't it be a bit of a sacrifice." ”

Li He asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Therefore, the fundamental way to eliminate poverty is not to rob the rich and help the poor, but to develop social productive forces, just imagine, if farmers farm, each mu of land can harvest 50 buckets of rice, and it only takes half a day to cultivate an acre of land, then in the world, how can there be people who starve to death." ”

Li He smiled dumbly and said, "Nowadays, rice is only harvested ten buckets per mu, and you said that you can harvest fifty buckets, I'm afraid it's not only planted by immortals." ”

Xu Deshan didn't smile, but looked at Li He seriously and said, "If someone really can do it, but there are countless hardships and hardships, are you willing to die to protect this person?" ”

Li He smiled and said, "Yes, of course you can, if there is really such a capable person, so that there is no one in the world who starves to death, I will be blind to death." ”

Xu Deshan finally smiled, the conversation changed, turned elsewhere, and began to inquire with Li He about the customs and customs of various places in Hebei, anecdotes, Li He has been to many places, and he is quite familiar with Hebei, speaking of this, but talking about Li He's strengths, Li He quickly recovered his previous state, drinking and eating, and talking and laughing with Xu Deshan.

After a while, the door opened, Bai Rui, who went out to inquire about the news, came back, Bai Rui was very excited, sat down and took a sip of wine and said, "I went around the city today, and really found a family, living in the west of the city, it is really a mansion compound, at a glance it is a huge rich businessman, there are not many jewels and silver hidden in the house, I turned around, I didn't see anything in the way, I see tonight, I will go to their house to walk around, if you can get a bag of silver, it is naturally the best, if not, steal a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings, It's enough for us to entangle. ”

Before Li He could speak, Xu Deshan stood up first and said, "Okay, that's it, Brother Bai, then I'll work hard for you tonight, Brother Li and I will answer you, no matter what, you must get him out of a big lump of money." ”

Li Hehu looked at Xu Deshan suspiciously, who just said that you can't rob the rich and help the poor?
