In the Dunhuang Desert, the yellow sand swept up, and the tall Li Fugui walked towards me in the wind.

"What do you mean you're bringing people around me?" I asked.

Li Fugui smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that the child who was pinched up by me like a chicken at the beginning, I haven't seen him for a year, and he has grown to such a point, and he is worthy of being the son of Yang Sanqian, the host of the book of life and death." ”

I said, "After all this time, you're still so annoying." ”

Li Fugui laughed and said: "I have been looking for you since the Huashan Turmoil in Daomen, these people are on orders from above, fortunately I also followed, otherwise there will inevitably be a vicious battle." ”

"What are you looking for me, if it weren't for Huzi's face, I wouldn't bother to take care of you." I said.

Li Fugui said: "I definitely have nothing else to do with you except drinking and catching up, but the people above are looking for you and have something to talk to you about." ”

"The people above, your boss?" I wondered.

Li Fugui nodded and said, "Yes, my top boss." ”

Two days later, at a military base in the imperial capital, I followed Li Fugui to a remote courtyard.

"It doesn't look like a barracks." I said.

Li Fugui said: "It is indeed not a military camp, the place used for scientific research was destroyed in the dark turmoil, and then the imperial capital was rebuilt and renovated here. ”

Turning a corner, I entered a spacious courtyard, with pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, lotus pond rockery, and some carefully trimmed flowers and plants on the side, and behind a high wall, there was the noise of the market.

An old man in a plain white shirt stood on the edge of the lotus pond, looking at the dragonflies on the pond and dotting the water, Li Fugui stepped forward to drive the dragonflies away, and the old man signaled Li Fugui to retreat.

Li Fugui said softly: "Mr. Yu, Yang Hao brought it." ”

I have never seen Li Fugui respect a person so much.

The man known as Mr. Yu nodded, and looked back at me, he was wearing glasses, his hair was gray, his face was very old, and he looked to be at least over 100 years old, but under my investigation, there was no Qi fluctuation on his body.

Mr. Yu said: "No need to check, I don't know Taoism." ”

"It's rude." I said.

Mr. Yu didn't care, and invited me to the pavilion, where he and I sat on either side of the stone table, while Li Fugui stood behind Mr. Yu, and I noticed that the fingers of Mr. Yu's left hand twitched slightly from time to time, which was obviously a common symptom of old age.

I was the first to ask: "Mr. Yu came to me, I don't know what is going on, with your status, it seems that you have nothing to do with me. ”

Mr. Yu said: "It seems that Yang Shaoxia is a straightforward person, so I won't go around in circles, let Fugui invite you this time, in fact, it's just a chat." ”

"I wonder what Mr. Yu wants to talk about?" I asked.

"Let's talk about life, or whatever." Mr. Yu said.

"Mr. Yu doesn't think I'm idle enough to talk about life with a stranger, right?" I asked in a deep voice.

"Yang Hao!" Li Fugui's tone was not good. "Mr. Yu is old, you should pay attention to what you say."

"It doesn't matter." Mr. Yu said, leaning his hand against the teapot on the stone table, and said, "The tea is cold, rich, let people make a pot of tea." ”

Li Fugui was respectful, holding the teapot, and he glanced at me lightly, showing a warning look.

After Li Fugui left, Mr. Yu said; "Fugui worked under me when he was young, and later I sent him back to Futu Ridge to monitor the Dragon Vein Forbidden Land, but in the end, it was still as I expected, and it was a failure."

I asked, "Sir seems to be interested in the affairs of the Daomen?" ”

Li Fugui nodded and said: "I am indeed very interested, I started to study it from the previous generation of Dao Zun when I was young, to the dark turmoil of the Dao Sect later, and then to the rise of the five major factions today. ”

Mr. Yu's words startled me, how many years ago did the previous generation of Dao Zun do it? And the history of the hundred years before and after the dark turmoil is almost blank.

Mr. Yu said: "Throughout the ages, whether it is the most prosperous period of Daomen or the lonely period of Daomen, there will be amazing and brilliant geniuses born out of thin air, whether it is those in power who support Daomen or suppress Daomen, Daomen has never perished. ”

"Sir has something to say." I could tell Mr. Yu was referring to something.

Mr. Yu said: "The people of the Daomen are nine times out of ten, and because of this, the people of the Daomen have a crazy and persistent drive for the power to control their fate, and they want to become the great masters of the Daomen and want to ride on the heads of others. ”

I said, "Yes, most people think this way, but not mortals, they all want to be high and be superior. ”

Mr. Yu nodded and said: "Yes, if you become a human master, someone will inevitably become a human being, and mortals are the same, but breaking the law, regardless of whether you are high or low, can be within the controllable range of those in power, if the people of the Taoist sect kill innocents indiscriminately, they don't care, cultivate to the foundation building realm, kill more than a dozen ordinary people, hide in which sect, the police can't catch it if they want to, if you cultivate to the Mahayana realm and the realm of the catastrophe, a little crooked mind, if you don't do it, the world will be turned upside down, the common people will be slaughtered, and hundreds of millions of people will be implicated." ”

Mr. Yu's point of view coincides with mine, although the cultivator has rules, not to kill worldly mortals at will, but there are always some people who do not listen to persuasion, or hide in the world, in the face of the contradictions between the world, the solution that comes to mind is not through troublesome legal means, nor to swallow the anger, but to let the other party disappear, or even the other party's whole family disappears, people's power is too inflated, will give birth to a certain overbearing idea, the Taoist people kill mortals like crushing ants, the world is chaotic, people's hearts are impermanent, even if they do not take the initiative to kill, Once you are provoked by a small thing, it will get out of control.

"Mr. Yu told me this, I don't know what it means?" I asked, confused.

At this time, Li Fugui just came back from making tea, Mr. Yu washed the teacup on the table, first poured me a cup of tea, and then poured himself a cup, he said: "When you were forced to jump off the cliff on the top of Huashan, you once said a word. ”

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are dogs, saints are not benevolent, people are dogs, if there is an afterlife, I Yang Hao is willing to incarnate as a demon and slaughter all the people in the Daomen, no matter good or evil, all the evil consequences will be borne by me alone." Mr. Yu and I said in unison.

I was confused in my heart, Mr. Yu obviously knew everything about what happened that day, that day I was forced by the five major factions and the world to hand over everything on my body, and said such a sentence with grief and indignation.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mr. Yu asked: "I have a question for you, among the 1,000 people who entered the palace to face the saint, one person was the killer who assassinated the emperor, if you were a minister, what way would you find out that killer?" ”

I said, "Kill everybody." ”

Mr. Yu said: "This is the most effective way to solve the problem, the ancients said that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, in my opinion, it is not because they have a bad heart, but to eliminate the possibility of the emperor being assassinated, throughout the ages, the royal family has also done this." But everyone's life is fate, they are all born and raised by parents, and a minister with justice will think that if you find someone who can observe Dao Qi and murderous Qi and identify who is the murderer, the righteous person will think that it is better to let go of a thousand than kill one by mistake, and the person of the Demon Dao is just the opposite, but it is also the most practical. ”

"What does Mr. Yu mean is that he wants to get rid of the Daomen?" I asked tentatively.

Mr. Yu didn't say anything, but sighed and said: "For thousands of years, whether it is Daomen or Buddhism, it has always been one of the biggest factors affecting stability, the emperors of all dynasties are worried about being assassinated by the people of Daomen, and there are several times when the divine power overrides the imperial power, a hundred years ago, Buddhism retreated, but the Daomen is still developing, and now it has reached the point where it cannot be contained, every day there will be many mortals who die in the hands of cultivators who have learned Taoist magical powers, ordinary firearms can not help the perpetrators, local officials are assassinated by monks, these things." , which has never been publicly announced, including the killing of people before you enter the Dao Gate. You can say that you were bullied by scumbags to fight back, and you are a hero who will be supported by people to eliminate bullies, but this society does not need heroes, and the stability of the people does not need heroes. ”

"So what is Mr. Yu going to do? Start a war? I asked.

Mr. Yu shook his head and said: "After the dark turmoil, I have already seen it, no matter how many troops are dispatched, they will not be able to destroy the Daomen, if the net is broken again this time, it will not be beneficial to either side, the way of heaven is impermanent, there is yin and yang." ”

"In that case, what is the purpose of Mr. Yu coming to me?" I asked.

Mr. Yu said: "Every hundred years in the world, there will be a person who rebels against the destiny of heaven, you have a book of life and death since you were a child, and later learned the martial arts of the Tao Te Ching, and you are familiar with the Taoism of all sects and sects in the world, if there is no accident, you are the person who will dominate the Taoist sect in the future, I hope you can end all the chaos of the Taoist gate, destroy the Taoist classics, and burn all the Taoist arts." ”

I raised my head, looked at Mr. Yu and said, "Mr. Yu, my parents and friends are now from the Daomen, is your request a bit excessive?" ”

Mr. Yu said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'm just proposing, how to think and do it is up to you, the stability of the world does not need to be full of gods and Buddhas and superhuman heroes, what is needed is strict law, just preach here, I'm tired." Wealth, help me back to the room, and entertain Yang Shaoxia with a good life, don't slack off. ”

"Yes." Li Fugui answered and helped Mr. Yu back to the room.

I looked at Mr. Yu's aged figure in the gazebo and couldn't help asking, "I haven't asked Mr. for advice yet." ”

Mr. Yu stopped and said solemnly: "Below, Yu Xuanliang." ”
