Chapter 35: Persuasion
Neither my grandfather nor I thought that Shen Jingyun would suddenly appear here.
In my thoughts, shouldn't he be intimate with Lin Ruolan? Didn't he tell me to do what I wanted?
Compared to me, my grandfather was obviously very taboo about Shen Jingyun appearing at this time. His face sank, looked at Shen Jingyun, and said indifferently: "Shen family child, you trespassed into my yard, did I agree?" What do you hear? β
Actually, the chances that Shen Jingyun could hear something were not great, I heard his footsteps appear in the courtyard in a hurry, and then went straight to this house.
Shen Jingyun faced his grandfather's unceremonious questioning, and said directly: "I know I'm abrupt, but I really haven't heard anything, Fifth Master Lin, I just came here with a request, I think Xiaoshuang can eradicate that organization with me." β
Shen Jingyun's expression was very solemn, and I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart, why was he still so attached to that evil god organization at this moment? And it has to pull me up.
As for Grandpa, he was probably angry and funny, he squinted his eyes at Shen Jingyun and said, "Isn't what I just said clear enough?" No matter what kind of covetousness the evil god organization you said has for my family Xiaoshuang, my family Xiaoshuang will not be able to protect you. β
Speaking of this, Grandpa's expression turned cold, and he looked at Shen Jingyun and continued: "Could it be that the so-called protection of our family Xiaoshuang is just an excuse for you?" You just want to use my family Xiaoshuang to eradicate that evil god organization? β
The corners of Shen Jingyun's mouth tightened, obviously grandpa's words had blocked all his reasons, my heart was cold, could it be that Shen Jingyun was really like grandpa said, at this time, he still wanted to use me? I really don't understand why he's so attached to that cult organization.
Shen Jingyun neither spoke nor left, grandpa snorted coldly, and I still remember the affection I have been with in the past few months, even if I can't be with him, I don't want to see him so embarrassed, but stubborn.
I took off my scarf, walked up to Shen Jingyun, handed it to him and said, "Shen Jingyun, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I want to follow my grandfather from now on, I have something I want to do." I'm sorry, but if I do encounter any danger, my grandfather will definitely protect me. β
Shen Jingyun glanced at me, I can't tell what it felt like in that look, he stretched out his hand, took the scarf I handed him, and sighed softly.
I thought he would give up and turn around and leave, after all, he was a proud man, and my grandfather and I had already rejected him to such an extent that it didn't make any sense to go on. Even if I wasn't very resistant to working with him to eradicate that evil god organization, because it would give me more reasons to spend time with him.
However, after Shen Jingyun took the scarf, he didn't turn around and leave as I expected, but took a step forward and hung the scarf around my neck casually.
I looked at him inexplicably, and my grandfather snorted coldly and said, "Shen family boy, you still have to pay attention to some rules." β
Shen Jingyun didn't look at his grandfather, nor did he pay attention to his words, just looked at me and said, "Even if you break off, a scarf is fine." It's not warm in the house, and looking at your bare neck, I think it's better to wear a scarf. β
I don't understand what Shen Jingyun is still thinking about what the scarf is doing at this time, and my grandfather was a little annoyed with Shen Jingyun's unobtrusive attitude, and said: "Even if you get a thousand scarves for our family Xiaoshuang, I won't agree to Xiaoshuang and you to eradicate that organization." β
Shen Jingyun sighed slightly again, and finally turned to look at his grandfather: "Fifth Master Lin, as a cultivator, his original intention at the beginning was naturally to become an immortal, but God requires cultivators not only to have the power to ascend to heaven, but also to have the virtue of ascending to heaven. But today's cultivator, Fifth Master Lin, do you think there is still virtue at all? β
Shen Jingyun didn't ask politely, but my grandfather didn't get angry when he faced this question, but said after a while: "Indeed, there are not many people in the ancient cultivation world today who can be said to be virtuous, and there are not many people who can maintain their conscience and bottom line, after all, there are not many cultivation resources nowadays, and the hope of ascension is simply slim. β
"It is true that what Lin Wuye said is a truth, but in my opinion, this is not the essential reason for losing virtue. I don't want to discuss with Lin Wuye here the big question of why many cultivators lose their morality, I just want to say that no matter how many cultivators lose their virtue and lose their original intentions, there are still some people who have not forgotten and automatically taken on some great responsibilities after becoming cultivators. β
I admit that what Shen Jingyun said was righteous and awe-inspiring, and I never thought that Shen Jingyun still had such a side that I didn't understand, is he still a hero? I don't think it's funny, I just don't think it's expected.
Instead, there was an inexplicable smile on Grandpa's face: "You want to use the virtues of a cultivator to convince me?" Of course, I can't say that you are wrong, and there is nothing wrong with having some naΓ―ve ideals when you were young. It's just that how could I hand over my granddaughter's life to you just because of this? Although your reason makes me a little impressed by you, I have rarely heard any cultivators say anything righteous, when did the Shen family come out with such a strange thing as you? β
Shen Jingyun didn't rush to speak, but walked to the window, looked at the snow outside the window a little lonely, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath, feeling a little unspeakably lonely.
"Fifth Master Lin, what do you think of the ancient cultivation realm today? It seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, if you think about it, isn't it already the end of the road? β
Grandpa frowned tightly, and he rarely did not refute Shen Jingyun's words.
"This is the last madness, in another hundred years, this will be the last era, and after that, there will be no more cultivators. Next, it is the real age of the end of the law. Without resources, what practice is there to talk about? Isn't the so-called cultivation of virtue disdained by today's cultivators? Shen Jingyun turned his head to look at his grandfather, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Grandpa was silent and didn't speak, but Shen Jingyun said to himself: "Cultivators are originally going against the sky and escaping the reincarnation of one life after another, so they should pay more to support their actions." Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and never puts a desperate situation for anyone or anything, so a cultivator must also bear more responsibilities in the world than ordinary people in order to exist. But now, cultivators who have forgotten these things are simply bringing about their own destruction, so the end of the road is inevitable. Cultivation resources will naturally be less, that is a punishment from God, he doesn't want to let this group of cultivators who have long been without moral restraint exist. β
This passage made Grandpa think carefully.
I listened silently, feeling that Shen Jingyun's words seemed to be marginal and far from reality, but I couldn't find any reason to refute it, but it was a different kind of shock to my soul.
There was silence in the room, and after a long while, Grandpa suddenly looked up at Shen Jingyun, walked a few steps, and asked in shock, "Who are you?" The people of the Shen family will never say such a thing, but you remind me of ......"
Shen Jingyun waved his hand, looked at his grandfather and said, "Eradicating the evil god organization is not a good thing, in the eyes of Fifth Master Lin, it may be a fool to agree to let Xiaoshuang act with me." But in my opinion, Xiaoshuang's accumulation of virtue and cultivation is never a bad thing, no matter what speculation Lin Wuye has, it is better not to say it. β
Grandpa's eyes were full of shock, but Shen Jingyun said lightly: "Taking the world as my own responsibility, wanting to change this smoky ancient cultivation realm is a sentence that I am very ashamed to say." If I say this, most of the people in the ancient cultivation world will laugh at me. I don't like to be ridiculed, but I still have to do it, isn't it stupid? Fifth Master Lin, you say, am I stupid? β
Grandpa didn't speak, he was silent several times when asked by Shen Jingyun.
Shen Jingyun's cultivation is obviously inferior to my grandfather, but at this moment, I inexplicably feel that Shen Jingyun's aura overshadows my grandfather. Isn't this the so-called God-blessed Path? A person who is upright always seems to be very strong.
"Fifth Master Lin, let Xiaoshuang go with me. Even if you don't talk about any righteousness or virtue, I believe that Lin Wuye is a person with clear grievances. β
Speaking of this, Shen Jingyun raised his eyebrows and sighed again: "I really don't want to use kindness to threaten, it always seems to be immoral, but what should I do?" Lin Wuye seems to have a prejudice against me, and Xiaoshuang, you seem to want to break off with me, but I just have the cheekiness to ask you to do this with me, and that's all. β
Shen Jingyun ...... "I opened my mouth helplessly, I found that he said so, and I had no reason not to go with him."
I looked at my grandfather, but his expression was more exaggerated than before, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth, and it took a long time before he said: "The old man who gave the jade, what does it have to do with you?" Aren't you 'that man's apprentice'? β
Shen Jingyun looked at my grandfather and said, "Do you mean Uncle Wen?" He is not my master, he is my master's retinue. Of course, this retinue is more like a name, and most of the time the old man in my family is the only one by his side, and he prefers to call me. β
Grandpa's breathing became short, and at this time, I felt as if my grandfather hadn't figured out some things in the years of disappearance, so I could only say: "Grandpa, I was given my Warm Yang Jade by an old Taoist, he took a little boy and said that it was his apprentice, and that little boy was Shen Jingyun, and he had the same Warm Yang Jade." β
"What did you say?" This time, I clearly saw my grandfather gasp.
