Kyoto North, Seimeiji Temple.

…………

Seeing that the old man was about to rush towards him, the reverse rope worker suddenly said lightly: "Slow."

…………

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but pause, and then asked, "Scared?"

The reverse rope worker said: "If you want to say that you are not afraid, it is fake, but you still don't come here first, I want to ask the boy surnamed Yi."

After speaking, his eyes passed over the old man and looked directly at Yi Xian.

…………

Yi Xian said, "Ask what?"

The ropeman said, "Have you forgotten why you are here?"

When asked by the reverse rope worker, Yi Xian's brain chuckled, and then he remembered that Yue'er was still in his hands.

…………

Yi Xian immediately raised his hand and pointed at the reverse rope worker.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I advise you to let the person go, she has no grievances with you, why do you want to do this?"

Hearing this, the old man turned his head in astonishment and asked Yi Xian, "What?" Do you have friends in his hands? ”

Yi Xian nodded and said, "Yes, Yue'er was arrested by them."

…………

The old man turned his head angrily and said to the reverse rope worker, "Hurry up and release the person."

The reverse rope worker smiled and said: "Your Excellency is strong in force, and you are ashamed of yourself, but I only have to arrest people, and as for releasing people, I can't be the master."

The old man asked, "Then who can call the shots?"

The reverse rope worker said: "The person who can call the shots is not here now, he will not come until two days later, and besides, even if he comes, people will never let go of it with the words of your old man."

…………

The old man's face suddenly changed at this time, and then his left hand stretched out, and his feet were light.

The rope worker saw a figure rushing towards him, but he didn't have time to react.

Suddenly, I felt like my neck was being choked by a hand.

…………

Yi Xian also saw this scene in the back, and the sigh in his heart at the old man's force had reached the point where there was nothing to add.

Such a posture is really rare in the world.

…………

In the eyes of Yi Xian, the reverse rope worker can be regarded as the top master in the martial arts, but now he is easily restrained by the old man, as if he is holding a little rabbit.

…………

After the old man grabbed the neck of the reverse rope worker, he jumped into it again, and then directly dragged the reverse rope worker to Yi Xian's side, and the whole process was only a blink of an eye.

…………

At this time, the old man said to the reverse rope worker with an angry face: "Since I was born, no one has dared to speak like this in front of me, I think you are impatient!!"

The reverse rope worker was strangled by the old man's neck, and suddenly felt as if his whole body was falling apart, and he also felt that it was difficult to breathe and breathe, and he wanted to fight back, but he found that he couldn't use his strength now.

Although he couldn't resist, the reverse rope worker was obviously a horizontal bone, and said one by one: "You......... You come less......... This set ......... You're just chopped......... Beheaded me......... It's useless!! ”

…………

The dozen or so subordinates of the reverse rope worker did not dare to step forward easily at this time, and they could not understand the force of the reverse rope worker very well.

Even the reverse rope worker is not an opponent, and his own hard work is estimated to be in vain.

But it's not good to look at it here, in case the reverse rope worker escapes.

Will you give yourself a backhand?

…………

After thinking about it, the black-clothed men glanced at each other, and then they all stood around the old man, pretending to surround the old man.

In fact, it's just a show for the reverse rope worker.

But at this time, the reverse rope workers had no leisure to take care of them, so it seemed that this was done in vain.

…………

Yi Xian knew in his heart that only the reverse rope worker knew where Yue'er was now, and he was obviously a little angry when he heard what the old man said just now.

He was really afraid that the old man would cut off the rebel in a fit of anger.

It is meaningless for Yi Xian to die of a person like the reverse rope worker, but before he rescues Yue'er, Yi Xian really doesn't want him to die immediately.

…………

Yi Xian hurriedly stepped forward at this time, then reached out and grabbed the old man's arm, and persuaded in his mouth: "Senior, even though this person is extremely evil, but the younger friend's friend was captured by him, so I hope the junior will not kill it first."

…………

Hearing this, the old man turned his head to look at Yi Xian, and then turned his head to look at the reverse rope worker.

Finally, he said "um", and then took his hand off the neck of the reverse ropeman.

…………

As soon as the old man's hand was taken off, the reverse rope worker felt that his breath was smooth, and then he hurriedly used his strength to breathe.

…………

After a while, he said to the old man, "I said, now is not the time for you to trouble me, hahahahaha."

The old man actually didn't want to kill the reverse rope worker, because the old man knew far more than that, and he also wanted to get more things from the reverse rope worker's mouth, just now he was just angry.

…………

The old man laughed at this time and said, "It's just taking into account the safety of this little brother and friend of Yi, otherwise, you will be raised in one move, do you believe it or not?"

…………

Threat.

…………

The reverse rope worker wanted to fight back immediately, but he knew that he was not an opponent, so he had to choose this way.

…………

Seeing that the rebel did not answer, the old man said again: "Surely you will not release anyone?"

The rebel raised his head and said resolutely: "Of course, it is in vain for you to kill me."

At this time, Yi Xian said to the old man: "Senior, this person has made an appointment with the junior, and will meet here three days later, the junior is mainly anxious, so he came to inquire alone today, but he didn't expect to meet him, I knew it was like this, and it would be good to come back in three days."

Yi Xian's words can be described as very bright.

Of course, Yi Xian didn't want the old man to have a conflict with the reverse rope worker at this time, even if it was the old man who rescued Yi Xian, but in Yi Xian's heart, rescuing Yue'er was naturally the most important.

But the old man is strong in force, and he also saved himself, so it is reasonable for Yi Xian to stop the old man.

Unable to stop it, and not wanting the old man to have a conflict with the reverse rope worker, Yi Xian thought of this trick after thinking about it.

…………

False and real, passing by, the meaning of Yi Xian's words just now is obvious.

It was to tell the old man that he was supposed to come in three days, but I came today, and I was too impatient, so I provoked these things, and the last sentence "It's good to come back in three days" obviously said that it would be okay to forget it today, and let's talk about it in three days.

…………

How could the old man not hear the meaning of this, although he was a little disgusted that Yi Xian was too concerned about the others.

But the old man quickly understood, so he immediately said: "Since this is the case, I won't say more, little brother Yi, you and I will go in a while, I have something to tell you, as for you, ........."

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand to the rope worker.

Then he paused and said, "You go first, if something happens to this friend of Little Brother Yi, I can't spare you."

………

Don't look at the old man's just such a sentence.

But when the rope worker heard it, he felt that it was a great threat.

At this moment, the reverse rope worker really didn't dare to have any thoughts.

After the old man said this, he said to Yi Xian, "Let's go."

Walk forward.

…………

Yi Xian glanced at the reverse rope worker, and then followed the old man.

Soon, the figures of Yi Xian and the old man disappeared.

…………

At this time, the originally panicked face of the reverse rope worker suddenly calmed down.

His eyes narrowed, and he walked towards the temple.

Seeing that the reverse rope worker did not speak, the dozen or so black-clothed people also had nine up and ten down in their hearts, but no one dared to talk more at this time, so they had to honestly follow the reverse rope worker into the temple.

…………

After the old man walked with Yi Xian for a while, he came to a small wooden house.

The old man pushed the door first and walked in, and then Yi Xian followed in.

After entering, the old man sat down on a wooden stool, then pointed to a stone opposite, and motioned for Yi Xian to sit there.

…………

As soon as Yi Xian showed it, he sat down.

Immediately began to look at the environment in the house.

I saw that the room was empty, except for a wooden couch, a long old table, plus a stool and a stone, which was the stone on which I was sitting.

…………

Seeing Yi Xian looking around, the old man smiled and said, "What, isn't it too shabby?"

Yi Xian heard the old man's question, so he hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, the strength of the predecessors is world-beating, and they are upright, as for these things outside the body, there is no need to care about them."

…………

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said.

"Is your master Ling Wuxin okay?"

"Well, he's a good old man, ah?!!"

As soon as Yi Xian said this, he immediately felt that something was wrong and suddenly reacted.

How did the old man know that his master was-Ling Wuxin, for a while.

Yi Xian couldn't help but be stunned.

…………

…………

Liling City, prison.

…………

The iron window of the cell is on the edge.

There were a dozen chirping birds, pecking at the grains, scrambling and fighting with each other.

When another big bird arrived, they all flapped their wings and flew away.

When the big birds flew away, they all came back, chirping and making a lot of noise.

…………

Suddenly, a cat jumped over the window, causing a commotion.

The birds screamed and ran for their lives.

The cat was in hot pursuit—it was a wild cat, not a domestic cat.

There are many wild cats here, which vary in size, size, and color.

Birds were constantly on the barbed all day long, both large and small.

Then a blue bird flew in, and it lashed out at every bird, all the birds.

It drove the other birds away – or rather, when it came, the other birds flew away on their own.

…………

They are very wary of cats.

When night came, all the birds flew away, and it was calm, cozy and peaceful.

The cats came and went, but not a single bird.

…………

It's noon.

The clouds shone brightly, which was a sign of rain to come.

It's been raining for the past few days.

There is a small lake not far away, and the water level has reached its peak. All the green leaves, shrubs and trees are waiting for the sun.

The sun here is never as bright as the sun in a foreign land, it has not been seen for many days.

…………

Some people will ask what the future will be.

What will happen to the future of those children who are shouting and playing—with such a free, unassuming face?

…………

It will be the same in the future as it is now.

Same.

…………

For thousands of years, history has been like this – life and death, hard work.

We don't seem to care about the future.

…………

From morning till late at night, I watched all kinds of entertainment endlessly.

With the exception of a few or two, the entertainment was brief and not too unobtrusive.

Children are entertained, and merchants of all walks of life maintain the feeling of being entertained.

It's like this all over the world.

…………

What will the future hold for these little ones?

There was a competitive show to watch - thirty or forty thousand people sat around the arena and watched a few people compete, shouting until their voices were hoarse.

I also go to see some big ceremonies held in the local area, which are also a kind of entertainment.

Still a form of entertainment – a feeling of piety.

…………

This is the case in all parts of the world.

See the mind occupied by feasts, entertainment, and competitions.

At some point, someone will ask, if people care: What is the future?

Different manifestations of the same thing?

All sorts of entertainment?

…………

If someone is aware of what is happening to them, then they must think - how can entertainment and competition occupy their minds and imprison their lives?

What happens when this happens?

…………

…………

Maybe you don't care about this at all, the same and different are the same for you, and you may not care about tomorrow.

Maybe you never thought about tomorrow.

If you think — you would say that thinking about the future is too complicated, too unpredictable, too dangerous — you don't think of old age and infirmity.

Rather, he thought of his own final end.

…………

If only we could use the word "ending".

Thinking of the results of our current lifestyle, which is filled with all sorts of pious feelings and pursuits, and a lot of entertainment invades your mind.

If you could realize this, what would the future of people look like?

…………

As we said before, our future will be the same as it is now.

If nothing changes – it's not a superficial adaptation to the world, a superficial adjustment.

It's a deep change, a radical change in your focus – if not a fundamental change.

…………

Then the future will be exactly the same as the daily life now.

Change is hard.

What has changed to?

Change into another type, another point of view, another system?

From this to that?

This still doesn't go out of the loop.

…………

You become controlled by your thoughts, planned by your thoughts, and you decide your actions in a variety of ways.

…………

Therefore, one must carefully seek changes in the present world.

Will there be change if there is motivation?

If there is a certain direction, a specific end, and a seemingly clear and reasonable conclusion, will there be a change?

…………

The end is not a transformation from "what is" to "what should be".

It's not a change, it's a termination, it's a — what word is it good to use? ——

"End" is probably an appropriate word, so let's use it for now.

…………

The word "decide" refers to the act of will.

"I'm going to do this".

"I'm not going to do that".

When the desire is transformed into the action of the end, the desire becomes the cause of the end, and where there is a cause, there is a motive, so there is no real end at all.

…………

There is no prejudice and no contradiction to what kind of situation you are.

Understanding the essence of what you are is is the beginning of simplicity.

…………

It's like watching a bird fly.

Don't add your own biases and misinterpretations - such gaze brings a sense of extreme simplicity.

There is no self-deception, no self-improvement, and no self-realization.

In such gaze, one gains great freedom, and in the midst of this self-righteousness, a simple sense of dignity arises.

…………

However, if you tell these words to the children of the day, they are likely to look out the window with interest. Probably because the whole world is sinking into the pursuit of superfluous pleasures.
