Ban Jin made a big salute to Wen Ling with the standard etiquette of Ya Kingdom to treat people from the royal family. And Wen Ling's status as the king of Jing is indeed worthy of this etiquette.

Wen Ling's eyes fell on Ban Jin, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ban is polite, it is better to sit down first." ”

As soon as his words fell, someone from the disciples standing on the side immediately stepped forward and helped Ban Jin to sit down in a chair beside him.

The chair was carved and the cushions were extremely soft and comfortable.

After Ban Jin sat down, he knew that Wen Ling's time was precious, so he hurriedly said: "When I came down to see Dean Wen, I had some questions about history and gods, and I wanted to ask Dean Yu to teach him. ”

Wen Ling said indifferently: "It's okay, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

With permission, Ban Jin briefly described what he had seen, heard and felt since he went to Zhibei City, but even if it was brief, it took some time, and in the middle, Wen Ling also asked his disciple to bring him tea to moisten his mouth.

After saying all the way, Ban Jin was already excited, and his voice was much louder: "So, I don't understand, I know what mistake Beicheng has made, and I need the gods to inflict such a punishment on the entire city." So much of the glory and history of our human race was wiped out in one day. I can't accept it, if you know that there is something wrong with Beicheng, maybe there are really sinners, but there is nothing wrong with the entire history of Zhuangguo, why do the gods want to destroy the king of Zhuangguo......"

From beginning to end, Wen Ling listened quietly to his narration, and listened to his hoarse accusations, and in the end, Wen Ling also showed a wry smile.

"I am not qualified to answer Mr. Ben's question, because I am not a god. However, there is actually no one in the world who can answer this question. If you are willing, I will probably ......"

However, before Wen Ling's words fell, a familiar girl's voice was heard at the door:

"Wait! His question, I'll answer it! ”

While speaking, the curtain was lifted, and it was actually Zhou Xia. Without any passage or salute, she walked straight into the lobby.

What made Ban Jin even more stunned was the attitude of Wen Ling and the disciples standing around him, as if they were extremely accustomed to Zhou Xia's attitude.

What is Zhou Xia's status in the Taoist Academy? Ban couldn't help but think about it.

Wen Ling introduced the two sides to each other:

"Mr. Ban, this is Zhou Xia, a disciple of my Taoist Academy."

"Zhou Xia, this is Mr. Ban Jinban, the historian of Ya Country."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I know, we came to the Taoist Academy together." ”

Ban Jin sighed: "The old man also thanked Miss Zhou for saving his life, and he hasn't thanked him yet." At that time, I didn't know that Miss Zhou was actually Dean Wen's senior apprentice. ”

Zhou Xia said: "Well, I saw a fierce beast hurting people halfway, so I solved it." By the way, Teacher Wen, let the other disciples step down. ”

When Wen Ling heard this, he immediately dismissed the surrounding disciples.

Watching the disciples salute and leave one by one, Ban Jin was even more surprised, Zhou Xia's status in the Taoist Academy seemed extraordinary.

"This matter is not suitable for ordinary disciples, but it can indeed be told to you. I was promised by the boss that I would judge and deal with it myself, and I didn't have to ask him. Zhou Xia sat on another chair, folded his legs, and said.

Wen Ling couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Xia snorted: "Okay Wen Ling, I know you want to say that the boss thinks I will annoy him, so let me handle everything by myself." I don't want to pray that the passage is closed, so I won't bother the boss. ”

The class noticed that when Zhou Xia was alone with Wen Ling, he didn't even say anything about Teacher Wen, but called his name directly, unceremoniously.

Zhou Xia said to Wen Ling angrily before continuing to say to Ban Jin:

"Actually, I myself am the starting point of the incident in Zhibei City. At the beginning, the gods punished Zhibei City, indeed because I was cornered by the entire Zhuang Kingdom. The gods pity me, and they are dissatisfied with Zhuangguo, so they will descend to heaven and punish Zhibei City. ”

"If you want to ask me how I feel as a client, I just want to say, well done!"

After Zhou Xia finished speaking with great momentum, there was silence in the arena for a while.

Ban Jin never expected that his life-saving benefactor was actually the cause of the fall of Zhibei City.

He looked disillusioned and was silent for a while, but finally spoke.

"I am deeply favored by the girl, so naturally I should not speak disrespectfully, but ...... It's still hard for me to understand, the gods condemned Zhuang Guo and destroyed the entire Zhibei City just because of the girl alone, which is also too ......"

He couldn't go on, this was the realm of the gods, and years of faith prevented him from saying words against the gods.

What's more, Zhou Xia also saved him.

Wen Ling knew the cause and effect, and also knew that Zhou Xia was unreliable and his speech was not clear, so he said gently: "Mr. Ban, please be calm, why don't you let me answer for you." ”

Ben Jin sat down in his chair and nodded.

Wen Ling said: "If Mr. Ban wants to ask the gods' thoughts, I can't answer. However, I can roughly understand why the gods did this. Zhibei City embarked on a crooked path, persecuting innocent people, and killing the families chosen by the gods. As a historian, Mr. Ban may feel that all the products of civilization are worth preserving. But the gods stand on the outside of the long river of history, and his eyes look at the whole history, and all decisions are made with the whole picture in mind. The gains and losses of one time and one place, in the eyes of our human race, may be difficult to understand and linger. But for the gods above history, it is only the tiniest wave in the long river. ”

"If what Mr. Ban wants to ask is whether the gods are doing the right thing, I can only say that people who are trapped in the river and are carried away by time are powerless to decide whether they are right or wrong, and only the gods outside of time are qualified to decide right and wrong."

Wen Ling's words finally answered Ban Jin's question, and Ban Jin also realized the status of the gods for the first time.

It is not an idol enshrined in a temple, but an existence that is truly far away from the world.

He was silent for a long time, both shocked and powerless.

Wen Ling's words were like opening a window for him in a closed room. He looked out and saw the vastness of the world outside, but he shivered with the cold air shining through the window.

The truth of the world is fascinating, but it is also deadly.

He was stunned for a long time, and it was so long that Zhou Xia yawned and chatted with Wen Ling before Ban Jin came to his senses.

From Zhou Xia's words, he could tell that this girl was not the ignorance he thought before.

In fact, she not only knows a lot, but also has novel ideas, often with unique ideas, which complement Wen Ling's thoughts.

In the discussions, the two often involved extremely profound issues, which made Ban Jin sigh to himself.
