Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rainy
"You seem to be very unhappy, do you want Ah Li to dance for you?"
He was sitting on the long stone steps in a daze, but beside him came the girl's dexterous and joyful voice.
"Ah Li, why are you here?"
Lu Yu raised his head and just saw the gentle and lovely smile, his eyes as clear as autumn water, looking at him.
"Why, can't I come to you?"
With a bit of resentment, Gongsun Li was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yu's way of meeting and greeting him like this.
However, along the steps, Gongsun Li sat next to Lu Yu, the paper umbrella was gently placed aside, and his hands were naturally on his knees.
"What are you thinking?"
Leaning over his face, Gongsun Li looked at Lu Yu's contemplative face with some curiosity.
For some reason, every time I see Lu Yu's pupils with a little sadness and melancholy, it can always resonate with Ah Li.
Is it because he rejected himself before and made himself memorable, or because he helped himself twice and made it difficult for him to let go?
In short, I don't want to see him have troubles, that's what Ah Li said to himself.
Looking at Gongsun Li's caring eyes, his heart was entangled, and Lu Yu slowly spoke: "Ah Li, what do you think, what is justice?" β
For Di Renjie, there is only absolute justice in the world, and that is strict law.
And it is exactly the opposite of Di Renjie's belief, that is, the justice that is hidden in the secret and secret, Lu Yu wants to hear Gongsun Li's opinion.
"Justice ......"
Because of thinking, the index finger was placed to his mouth, and Gongsun Li gently pursed his red lips.
"Let those who have no clothes to wear in the cold have clothes to wear, let those who are hungry have food to fill their stomachs, and let those who cry no longer grieve ......"
"And punishing the evil and promoting the good, and finding out the moths that are hidden in the darkness, these ...... It's all justice, right? β
"Yulu, what do you say?"
Feeling that there was nothing wrong with his answer, Gongsun Li asked with a smile.
"You're right."
Lu Yu smiled and nodded.
Indeed, from Gongsun Li's point of view, this kind of justice is indeed more reasonable, and it is also a little more humane than the justice of the supremacy of law.
It's just that......
"How devastating it would be if you were told that it was wrong one day."
As an outsider, Lu Yu, whether it is Di Renjie or Gongsun Li's "justice" in their hearts, he can't criticize it.
Because strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with each of them, even if they have contradictory ideas.
However, Li Bai's words made him fall into deep thought.
You shouldn't care about what others think, but you should find your own answers.
The righteousness you pursue...... So what?
"Yulu, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"
Seeing that the contemplation on Lu Yu's face was not alleviated by his answer, Gongsun Li gently probed and asked cautiously.
"Nothing ......"
The smile on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth was a little reluctant.
"It's just a whim."
"Hmph, just forget it."
There was a sound of air flow coming from his nose, and Gongsun Li stood up from the steps.
"Oops, it's raining."
When I looked up, I found that the sky had turned gray, and the air was so dull that it was a little suffocating.
Similarly, it also makes people feel more inexplicably sentimental.
The light rain like grains of rice, dripping down the long stone steps, made a crisp sound.
"Yulu, do you want to come with me?"
Gongsun Li picked up the paper umbrella on the steps, and the paper umbrella bloomed like a peony, and she made an invitation.
"No, I'll be able to walk by myself in a while."
With a faint wry smile, Lu Yu refused Gongsun Li's invitation.
It's not that he wasn't impressed by the dexterous girl at all, but Lu Yu was thinking hard at this time.
"Yulu, you remind me of someone. You, like him, are like a piece of wood, making people feel so distant. β
"Who?"
The first time it was called wood, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
It's just that Gongsun Li's voice sounded a little resentful.
"I won't tell you, slightly~"
made a cute grimace towards Lu Yu, and didn't see any special expression on Gongsun Li's face, but still that clever smile.
"I'll go first, remember to miss me."
The light steps seemed to be dancing, and Gongsun disappeared into the rain after a few moments.
β......β
Looking at Gongsun Li's disappearing back, he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, as if he was estranged.
Sure enough, as long as it's raining, I'm in a bad mood.
I didn't see the girl who had already walked away, and cast her eyes at the stone steps in place, Lu Yu had already gotten up and walked alone in the smoke and rain.
......
"Hey, have you heard? A demon seed has entered Chang'an! β
"What?! The demon seed has infiltrated Chang'an?! It's over, we're going to be eaten by the demon seed! β
The rain was still falling, and Chang'an City was also covered with a shocking piece of news.
I don't know from whose mouth it came out, a demon seed broke through the defense line of the Great Wall and infiltrated Chang'an City.
If it is placed in normal times, such news without any basis will not set off any waves.
But only this time, the news turned into a rain of smoke and rain all over the city, reaching the ears of almost everyone.
And the office of Di Renjie, the magistrate of Chang'an, has been crowded with calls for help from the citizens, and more than one person even said that he had seen the fierce demon seed.
"Yuan Fang, what do you think about this matter?"
"Unfounded rumors, those people are all divided and not really convincing."
However, although Di Renjie understood that this might be a rumor, where did this rumor come from, and why did it cause the entire Chang'an to panic......
No, even if it is a rumor, he Di Renjie must personally debunk it.
He is the magistrate of Chang'an, and if the existence of the demon seed is true, then he is also obliged to destroy the demon seed.
"Master Di!"
Just as Di Renjie was about to set off, a powerful and sensitive voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Wan'er, why are you here?"
The woman in front of her looked confident and chic in a neutral and handsome trouser with long flowing sleeves.
The heroic sword eyebrows and the raised corners of the mouth do not look like a feminine girl, but give people a heroic feeling.
And the brush in the woman's hand is her symbolic weaponββββ
"Master Di, Ming Shiyin has given advice to the empress."
Shangguan Wan'er's sword eyebrows frowned, as if she had something important to say.
"What did he admonish?"
"There is a demon invasion in Chang'an, you must kill it!"
Outside, the rain was still dripping, witnessing what was about to happen.
