Chapter 369: The Sage of the Xuanyuan Codex Walks at Night
Three days later, late at night.
West of Yan'an City, Qingchen Mountain, Suxinguan.
This view is isolated from the world, empty and empty, like a water moon cave sky.
On the deep and dark stargazing platform, the sound of the breeze blowing the bamboo and cypress is like a heavenly sound.
Su Yan Zhenren will watch the stars and the moon here every night to look up at astronomy, look down on geography, and explore the changes in the world.
He heard footsteps, collected the true qi that lingered around him, and when he turned around, a peaceful smile appeared on his face.
He looked at the white-haired young man in front of him, and his white eyebrows trembled slightly, "The donor is awake?" ”
Ye Mushen felt the unique aura of this old man with fairy wind bones.
arched his hand, "I have been taking care of the Taoist for the past few days." ”
"Whatever the donor wants to ask, just ask." Even if Su Yan is smiling, it still makes people feel unapproachable.
"I do want to ask the Taoist chief...... Reason. ”
"The donor is too old-fashioned......"
"I'm not polite anymore," Ye Mushen took over with a smile, but his eyes became sharp, "The Taoist chief observes the stars here every night, and knows the affairs of the world without being involved in the world. There are more than 100 cultivators in the view, and all of them are like this...... It is said that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Dare to ask......"
"The donor wants to blame Lao Dao, now that the people of Yan'an are suffering from the plague, they can escape the world here safely, and their conscience can get by?"
“…… Yes, too. Ye Mushen's face was ashamed, but his gaze was more imposing than before.
Su Yan stroked his white beard and muttered, "The saint is noble and travels at night. Night walkers, do not avoid ghosts and evils, do not expect divine help. Those who are in the way of karma are full of manghu, and there are images; There are things in them; It's dark, and it's fine. Write a letter to investigate the situation, and the ...... is not good"
Ye Mushen didn't like this crepe argument, and interrupted, "The overlord of Chu once said: 'Wealth and nobility do not return to their hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night. 'He is competitive in nature, and he is better at showing off; At this point, even if he has great ambitions, he is just a brave and resourceless man. And the saint walks at night, because the saint himself can be a light source, and he will not lose his way in the dark night. ”
"The donor is so transparent, why do you ask me this?"
"I still don't understand." Ye Mushen looked at him sincerely, "The saint walks at night to bring people out of the darkness, not to become a light source in people's eyes, isn't it?" ”
The reason why the two use such an obscure syntax full of metaphors to have a conversation is really helpless.
After all, no matter which dynasty it is, many things cannot be explained too clearly.
Misfortune comes from the mouth, Ye Mushen understands, and Su Yan naturally understands it.
The problem of Ye Mu Shen is actually very simple: there are more than 100 people on Qingchen Mountain, most of whom are masters with unique skills. Then why did they not lend a helping hand to the civilians below the mountain in this time of crisis, but stayed out of the situation?
He could actually understand the thoughts of these people, after all, it was much easier to do it alone than to help the world.
But he was not satisfied with such an explanation.
Today, the people are plagued by the plague and die, and they are left out of it; Tomorrow, if the rebels attack the city, they will not heed; If one day the clan is destroyed and the city is slaughtered, there are only a hundred of them, and they will not be able to escape the cruel killing...... Wouldn't they, who were alone at that time, regret it?
The ancient adage "The saint walks at night" seems to make the saint as perfect as a god...... But he felt hypocritical.
Su Yan was silent for a long time this time, and was just about to say something, when he saw a figure behind Ye Mushen.
The man didn't even say hello, grabbed Ye Mushen's wrist and pulled it back.
