Chapter 18 What is the Ugliness of the Human Heart?

The time was silent, silent for a while, and there was silence under the cellar, when suddenly I heard a sound of footsteps outside, and walked towards this side from afar.

"Be careful, someone's coming!" Shile reminded in a low voice.

The two of them hurriedly put the rope on their bodies as it was, and sat on the ground again, pretending to have just woken up.

I only heard the whispers of the two people from above, and continued to pass into my ears, Lu Ning had no internal strength at the moment, so he didn't really hear it, but he vaguely heard one person say You go back first... I watched, you will come back to work later, the two talked, one of them seemed to leave, the footsteps gradually faded away, and slowly disappeared.

I don't know who came and what they wanted to do. Lu Ning thought in his heart.

The man waited for a moment before he came down and opened the plank on top. I only heard a squeak, and there was a burst of light overhead, but it was not dazzling when I looked at it, and I thought that the cellar was in a room, so the light was limited, and I could only see the situation in the cellar.

Lu Ning looked over, only to see a wooden ladder thrown down from above, and a body slowly walked down, and when the whole body fell into the cellar, he saw that it was the scholar who had been angry with Lu Ning and the others before, Wang Shanju.

Seeing that the two of them had already woken up, a chuckle appeared on his face, and said, "How are the two heroes resting?" ”

Seeing him make a disgusting posture and look down at the two of them, Lu Ning sneered and didn't answer, but Shile didn't get used to him, spat a mouthful, and scolded: "Phew! I'm good uncle! ”

Wang Shanju's face turned cold, and he suddenly calmed down, and snorted coldly: "Dead monk! How long do you think you're alive? As soon as the Blood Knife Gate comes, I will send you in exchange for the safety of the town, and then see how arrogant you are! And you..." He pointed at Lu Ning and said fiercely: "If you want to live, beg me, beg me, maybe I can let you go." ”

Lu Ning looked at his pretending appearance, and was speechless for a while, but he was quite puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Wait a minute, I just can't figure it out, how did we offend you?" Why are you targeting us so much? ”

Seeing that the king was doing a good deed, his face suddenly turned hideous, and he said viciously:

"You don't know? How could you not know? You drove away the demon monks, and the whole town is grateful to you, why? Isn't it because you know how to break martial arts? Why can those of you who know martial arts kill people when you want to kill people, and save people if you want to save people? You are so powerful, why don't you help us solve this trouble completely, why do you take care of this matter if you want to, and if you don't want to take care of it, you can pat your ass and leave? ”

Lu Ning looked at this distorted face, how could he listen to this stupid and that lot of words in his heart, and only felt that this person was sick in the brain? Seeing his face approaching, waiting for his answer, he felt goosebumps, and said casually: "Huh? What did you say? ”

・・・

There is no sound at this time. Wang Shanju's face slowly froze...

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Shi Le couldn't help but whisper: "He asked you why we can kill people when we want to kill people if we want to do kung fu, and save people if we want to save people?" ”

Silent again...

Wang Shanju's face turned red like a drop of blood, and he pointed at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning knew in his heart that in fact, the psychology of some people was particularly pathological in the eyes of normal people, because no matter what others did to him, he might be dissatisfied and retaliate. Another example is jealousy, the kind of hidden in the heart that takes root and sprouts, and slowly grows into a bad consequence that the whole heart cannot bear, and finally explodes, blowing themselves up and scarring, but most of them also involve others in it.

Lu Ning pondered in his heart for a while: How to answer this? This Wang Shanju is obviously a psychopath, what should he say? I didn't mean to? Or do you go to a psychiatrist? Not really. Lu Ning was bored, and suddenly said in his heart, why do you want to answer your shitty question, then got up and ripped off the rope, slapped Wang Shanju in the face, and said, "With your uncle, you are still reasonable, right?" Hearing this snap, he knocked the king to the ground, covered his face and shouted.

"How did you... how did you untie the rope?" Wang Shanju's face turned pale and he fell to the ground and screamed.

Lu Ningshi didn't want to see this person's ugly face more, so he wanted to take action and end up with this person's life.

Seeing this, Shile also stood up at this time, kicked on Wang Shanju's body, and scolded: "I really can't see it, I look like a scholar, why do you have a bad stomach, no wonder people always say that negative hearts are always readers, it's really right, Lao Tzu solved the trouble for you, and this is how you guys repay Lao Tzu?"

"Ouch... Stop it! ”

"It's your grandson who beats you, and Nima dares to beg for mercy!"

Shi Le was beaten in the style of splitting his head and covering his face, and his hands and feet contained internal force, and after a while, he had beaten this Wang Shande so much that he couldn't even recognize his own mother, Lu Ning watched coldly from the side, knowing that Shi Le didn't want to let himself interfere, lest he kill this person too hard, and he couldn't explain it for a while, but his face was still calm and asked Shi Le: "This kind of person can be killed, why do you stop me." ”

Seeing that he saw his thoughts, Shile said embarrassedly: "It's a human life." ”:

Lu Ning thought to himself, could it be that he was vicious? It doesn't seem to be, it seems that he is the victim at the moment, if he can't escape, God knows how these fools will toss themselves.

Thinking of this, I looked at Shile again, and saw that Wang still had the strength to hum, so he went up to make up for it a few more times, and then said to himself: "Okay, how can we say that we have harmed them and been retaliated against, the rivers and lakes are like this, people's hearts are good and evil, all in one thought, they are not really wicked people, and what kind of evil things have they done that hurt heaven and reason, so forget it." ”

Lu Ning saw that the monk's words suddenly made some sense, and he looked at the ten Lego a few times in his heart, and saw that he was already firm and a little surprising to himself, Lu Ning looked at him deeply, and his heart was tortuous, but he couldn't tell it, but he already had a deep sense of disgust for the people in this town, and he also had a little more confusion about the four words of chivalry and righteousness that had been standing in his heart. He used to have an empty heart, no worries, and no desires, but in this game, he continuously encountered people and things that stimulated his heartbeat, and his original belief was particularly shaken. He asked himself.

"Hey, what do you think? Let's go! Shile completely knocked out the king's kindness, climbed the ladder, and shouted to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning's mind was heavy, and he wanted to ask Shile, but he couldn't help it, and when he saw that Wang Shanju was in a coma on the ground with a declining face, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

"Here we are." He answered, followed Shiraku, and went out of the cellar.

Outside the cellar is a side room, the two escaped, saw that there was no one around, tiptoed at the beginning, suddenly remembered that both of them have martial arts, why should they be afraid of this group of ordinary people, so let go of their hands and feet, and walked around in this family.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Lu Ning pondering step by step, Shile couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"I think why should we be chivalrous?" Lu Ning looked at him and replied seriously.

"Damn! How do I know such a profound question, or save it for another time? Or you can find "Jiuyang Divine Skill" with me as soon as possible and go back to Shaolin Temple to ask my master. ”

"Your master knows?"

"Well, he has only practiced martial arts and meditation in the Dharma Academy for most of his life, who knows."

"Zen meditation, then his Dharma is very profound?" Lu Ning suddenly asked, thinking that these people who understand Buddhism are actually similar to those who are engaged in philosophy, which is nothing more than solving a problem with 1,800 answers to see who can solve it more skillfully and reasonably. Will you be able to answer your own questions?

"What about you?" He remembered it again and asked Shiraku, "Do you also participate in Zen?" ”

Shile glanced at him and said with a sneer: "Uh, hehe, what am I doing with that thing?" ”

Lu Ning knew that he had asked the wrong person, so he continued to move forward without mentioning it.

Knocking down a few people one after another has already alarmed everyone, and when the two of them stepped out of the door, they saw the crowd gathering in the town, and they saw the two of them with horror on their faces and did not dare to look directly.

"Mayor Town." Seeing the mayor hiding in the crowd, Lu Ning couldn't help but wave his hand and beckon, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I've eaten." When the mayor saw Lu Ning calling his name, although he was frightened in his heart, he also took care of his face, and it was not good to hide in this crowd, so he responded tremblingly, walked out of the crowd slowly, and replied.

"Eaten? It's good to eat, and it's good to be a full ghost on the road. Lu Ning said slowly with a smile on his face, but it caused an uproar in the crowd.

"You... are you going to kill us?" The mayor was shocked, and then remembered that these two people were martial arts masters who could capture the demon monk.

"You repay the two of us like this, why do you have to be polite, otherwise wouldn't it seem that we are stingy and don't know how to learn about Entu?"

Seeing Lu Ning's smile on his face, Shile couldn't see what he was thinking, seeing that this group of villagers was so frightened by him that his face was pale, he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart, so he whispered to Lu Ning: "Hey, just scare them, do you really want to kill these people?" ”

He walked with Lu Ning for a few days, but he also saw that Lu Ning was simple, but he was not deep in the world, and he had not experienced the ups and downs, although his mentality was like that of an adult, he was not mature, and once he entered the world, he was more likely to be entangled by the world, and gradually changed his original intention.

I'm afraid that this incident will make him gradually lose the way of goodness, which is a pity. Shi Le thought secretly in his heart, and was already thinking about how to avoid this matter from becoming a demonic obstacle in Lu Ning's heart.

Lu Ning saw that he was worried, and asked himself, and suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, which was too much to worry about. Suddenly, I remembered Zhang Cuishan's teachings when I was in Wu, and my mind gradually calmed down, and it didn't seem to be an eyesore when I looked at the crowd again.

Seeing that the two were silent, the mayor of the town was about to kill, knelt down with a bang, and said: "Two heroes, this matter was instigated by the king's good deeds, I was also confused for a while, and I was blinded by the ghost, so I did this kind of thing, the two heroes are benevolent and righteous, as long as the lives of the whole town are spared, the old man is willing to deal with the two of them." ”

Seeing him crying bitterly, and the surrounding villagers also knelt down one after another, crying and begging the two, wailing for a while, although Lu Ning had no good impression of this group of people in his heart, he also had sympathy, and the two were different, so he couldn't help but hesitate and didn't answer. Seeing that he hesitated, he stepped forward and said to the people below: "If you are not ordinary people who don't know martial arts, I won't spare you even if you are a monk today, count your luck, meet decent children like us, otherwise you will have to chop your group of ungrateful people into meat sauce and feed them to dogs, there is really nothing strange in this world, but let the monks meet your group of people, bad luck, bad luck!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Ning couldn't help but sneer, and asked again: "I really don't understand, why did you want to capture your wife and daughter by the demon monk, but we helped you, but you were still drugged and captured?" Do you say that the human heart is really so vile? It's been a long time."

After saying that, he raised his body and wanted to leave, but the villagers fell to the ground, not daring to look at them, as for what they thought after hearing it, Lu Ning didn't know, would they change their ways? Or get worse and become the second, third king benevolent, these are up to them, they are not their parents, there is no time to educate them, as long as they don't provoke themselves anymore, Lu Ning thought in his heart. This is the first change in his mentality since he went down to Wudang Mountain, people's hearts have changed, the whole person is strange to others, and after finding out the package of the two, he really left the town. Seeing that he had been silent all the way since then, and he had not seen him return to him after many provocations, he sighed in his heart, so he had to give up, in order to slowly lead Lu Ning into the right path.
