Chapter 9 The Truth of Xiaolou
"What kind of place is Xiaolou?" Di Jiu was silent for a long time, thousands, thousands of questions, but in the end he could only ask such a dry question.
Fu Hanqing frowned slightly, organized his thoughts for a long time, and then said: "Xiaolou is actually not as terrible as you think, Xiaolou is actually just a place for a group of people to get together to learn, just because, these people have a lot of excellent skills, and Xiaolou has a lot of ingenuity that outsiders can't imagine at all, so we don't want to be shocked, we don't want people from outside to interfere in our lives, and we don't like it, the people in power have a heart to covet us, so we use our unique way. Protect our pure life. ”
Di Jiu pondered and sorted out the information provided by Fu Hanqing: "You mean, Xiaolou is a place where a group of people with magical tricks and powerful powers study together. ”
Fu Hanqing nodded: "So to speak." ”
"So, what do you study?"
Fu Hanqing scratched his head: "Our learning is not the same as your learning, you always learn skills, knowledge, and skills, and what we learn may be a view of the world, an experience of life, or a ......" He thought hard for a long time before he found a reluctant suitable description "Our learning, maybe it is the pursuit of an epiphany, it is purely a feeling of the soul, and the way of each person's epiphany, the way of epiphany, and whether or not they can have an epiphany, the degree of epiphany, are all different, therefore, I can't explain to you, what do we learn?" ”
Di Jiu frowned slightly. The content of this man's answer is becoming more and more mysterious, more and more weird, and more and more incomprehensible.
"So, in what way do you pursue this epiphany?"
"Accession to the WTO." Fu Hanqing said bluntly, "Come into your world, live with ordinary people, and live according to our respective choices in advance." ”
Di Jiu felt that his breathing began to be slightly short: "Then, for a thousand years. How many of you left the building, blended in with the crowd, and what did you do? ”
Fu Hanqing frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head in reluctance. Every time he went back to the small building, he mostly slept with his head covered. I rarely ask others about their learning progress, where can I calculate how many lives each student has experienced, and I don't know how many big things others have done: "I can't count it, as for the big things that others have done, I don't know very well, but you don't think that we will definitely become big people, some people, come to the world, just to feel the life of ordinary people." Like among us, there were. Go Fang Langzhong, an ordinary scholar. There are also poor monks in the old temples in the mountains, of course, there are also people who will enter the phase, but I don't know very well. ”
When he said this, although Di Jiu was not very satisfied, he had to accept it. After all, Xiaolou has a history of thousands of years, how can Fu Hanqing be able to count it for thousands of years. How many people keep going out, and as for those people who have done enough to be praised by future generations. I'm afraid that Fu Hanqing may not be willing to talk about it in detail.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Then what are you doing after you finish studying?" ”
"Go back to Xiaolou."
"What are you doing when you go back to Xiaolou?" Di Jiu asked patiently.
"Go back to Xiaolou......" Fu Hanqing counted with his fingers, "Eat, drink, play, sleep......"
Di Jiu glared at him angrily, does this guy want to say that everyone in the small building is the embodiment of a lazy pig like him?
It's a pity that Fu Hanqing has nowhere to complain, basically the life of Xiaolou's classmates is indeed like this, and even if they return to the original world after graduation, they are also eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, at most occasionally working, adjusting their lives.
Di Jiu looked at him coldly, and his tone was cold: "You have been like this for a thousand years? ”
"yes." Fu Hanqing nodded.
This time, not only Di Jiu's eyes wanted to kill, but even Di Yi was a little unimpressed.
Even if you want to lie, you should make sense.
For more than a thousand years, people have been sent outside to play the so-called study, and after an epiphany, they will run back again, eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, and sleeping.
A fool will not believe this.
At present, there are two small building characters, one has become the leader of the Shura sect, and the other may also be a rich man from an enemy country, and his power in the shopping mall is very strong, and they work so hard just to go back to eat, drink, sleep and play?
Di Jiu endured his anger and sneered: "You have been making trouble for thousands of years just to eat, drink, sleep and sleep, and you have killed countless people who are close to Xiaoloudi. ”
Fu Hanqing hurriedly said: "First, we have never killed anyone in Xiaolou, and second, we are not harming people who are close to us. It's just defense. He also glared at Di Jiu with some dissatisfaction, "If you are doing well at home, and suddenly someone shouts and shouts and kills and runs to your door, and when you are fighting, you wantonly destroy your home and infringe on your property, will you not fight back?" If you don't do anything, but a bunch of people are coming to your house and robbing you, can you not protect yourself? If you're quietly at home doing your own thing, but someone wants to come and spy on your privacy, don't you do anything? ”
Even Di Jiu was blocked by his few words and couldn't refute it, thinking about the history of Xiaolou for thousands of years, it was really similar to what Fu Hanqing said. At the earliest, a certain demon was chased and killed by a righteous person and broke into the small building, and it is estimated that this kind of top master is desperately fighting, and he will not care about destroying things at all, or even implicating innocents.
What are the ant people? It's just that the lives of little people are as cheap as ants, and over the ages, how many earth-shattering heroic duels, battles between good and evil, people always praise their wonderful and heroic, but they tend to easily ignore the little people who are innocently involved in those battles and suffer in vain.
It's just that back then, those demons and masters kicked the iron plate of Xiaolou.
Di Jiu sighed before asking, "You have never killed anyone?" So where did the legend go, where did the people who disappeared in Xiaolou for thousands of years go? ”
Fu Hanqing said with a smile: "The first time Xiaolou was discovered by outsiders, I was not present. ”
Di Jiu and Di Yi rolled their eyes together, nonsense, it was more than a thousand years ago, how could you be there.
"However, I have heard others say that it was a group of people who chased and killed a person and came to the periphery of the small building. One of us went out and persuaded them not to fight, but to fight, please go farther and fight, and then we will come to our house. However, all of them didn't listen, and a few of them were yelling at some of the devil's comrades, and some people couldn't help but say that they directly killed our people. Of course, our people will not be beaten and not fight back, so they beat all the people who did it. ”
What he said was very relaxed, but Di Jiu and Di Yi were secretly awe-inspiring when they heard it. The people who chased and killed the demon back then were almost all elites of the martial arts righteous path.
"With just one person who came forward at that time, can he defeat all the righteous path masters?"
"Ah, he didn't make a move at all, he just used our mechanism." Fu Hanqing said even more indifferently.
Di Jiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you tell us in detail about your organs?" ”
Fu Hanqing shook his head: "I can only tell you that our mechanism is powerful and mysterious beyond your imagination, but."
I can't tell outsiders. ”
This is not a surprising answer, no sect will tell the most powerful top secret to outsiders.
So Di Jiu was not disappointed, and only said: "Later, that demon seemed to have returned to the world, and this is why the name of Xiaolou was spread. ”
"Yes, at that time, those righteous people were defeated at once, and the demon was also frightened, and since then he has been relying on being our disciples, to learn art from us, or something. Reach out and don't hit the smiley person, our people, and there is no way to take that guy. It was only stipulated that he should not enter the periphery of the small building, and the rest was up to him. He is actually very knowledgeable, and he has not tried to cross the line once, and if he is so reasonable, our people will be even more difficult to do to him. Later, when he left, everyone was very happy, thinking that he would be clean from now on, but he didn't expect that he would come back again after running around the rivers and lakes. Kneeling outside every day, saying that he was sincere and wanted to join, and asked us to accept him, saying that since he saw the powerful power of Xiaolou with his own eyes, he was enlightened and returned to the world, but he felt that all the glory and wealth in the world were not as good as those in the world. Everything in the world, he no longer pursues, he just wants to be able to enter the small building, even if he is a slave or a servant, he is willing. ”
Di Jiu raised his eyebrows and was silent. He temporarily ignored Fu Hanqing's tone of voice that seemed to be right in front of him when he talked about the thousand-year-old thing, but he was secretly thinking about it, which could make that peerless demon extremely shocked. Infinite devotion to it, I would rather be a slave and a servant, but also join the power of Xiaoloudi, how powerful is it, and at the moment when it shows its power, it is so gorgeous and dazzling, shocking people's hearts.
"Actually, our people don't think that he is really sincere, and just want to enter the small building to feel the power. In the legends of martial arts, there are too many similar legends. In a certain place outside the world, if there is any magic skill, there will always be an outsider who joins it with an extremely sincere attitude, and after a few years, he will learn a masterpiece. defected and went to the martial arts to call for wind and rain and play prestige. At the time, there were a few of us who loved reading stories like this, so we didn't trust that person very much. Fu Hanqing thought for a while and added, "Actually, even if you believe it, it's useless, no matter how deep that person's sincerity is, it doesn't matter, the powerful power of Xiaolou will never be passed on to outsiders, and it will never be allowed to be used outside the scope of Xiaolou." Even our own people. ”
Di Jiu's expression moved slightly, interrupting him: "You are not allowed to use powerful power? Then you and the Wind Festival such a wonderful kung fu......"
Fu Hanqing shook his head and said: "This martial art is naturally practiced, and it does not belong to Xiaolou's strength, Xiaolou's real strength." We are never allowed to use it when we walk outside. ”
Di Jiu and Di Yi exchanged a terrifying look. Such a miracle, in their opinion. It's not power, so how strong is Xiaolou's real strength?
Di Jiu asked again: "Is it really absolutely impossible to use it?" What if you're in a desperate situation? ”
Fu Hanqing thought for a while: "It shouldn't be usable, anyway, I don't remember who has used it." Of course, because he lacked the gossip concern of Zhang Minxin for his classmates, he was not clear about the past experiences of other people, and he was not sure whether anyone had used it, so he was a little hesitant to answer.
Di Jiu took a deep breath. After calming down for a while, he asked, "What happened to the devil?" ”
"Later. After two or three years, when he found that our people were really unmoved, and no matter how much he knelt down and begged outside, and no one answered him, he began to cross the line and invade the private place that we had warned him beforehand. The periphery of the small building is no longer allowed to enter. According to our local logic, we have the right to punish him if someone violates his private territory, so ......" Fu Hanqing said in a very flat tone, "Our local people have locked him up in a very remote place like those righteous path masters at the beginning. ”
To be precise, they used a teleportation device to send all these people hundreds of thousands of miles away, under a cliff where there was no one and absolutely no way out. As for these people, in that predicament, whether they continue to kill each other, or help each other, and try to live until old age in a place where no one is around, no one cares.
"After that, all the people who entered the small building, did you deal with it like this? And among them are the 100,000 army of the barbarians? Do you have such a big cell? ”
"It's not a prison cell, it's just far away, a place where the original world is cut off." Fu Hanqing replied.
In fact, at that time, they opened a portal on the way of the march of the 100,000 army, and the army walked into the door without noticing, and then, the space was distorted, and they were transported to a continent far away from the world in this era, undiscovered by the world.
There, the barbarian king had his army conquer the local natives, intermarry with the natives, have children, and establish a new kingdom. And this kingdom has been able to last for thousands of years to this day, and the people have built huge temples and altars for the Sun King who descended from the sky to commemorate the messenger sent by the gods. This kind of erroneous ending also makes Xiaolou and everyone feel funny.
Di Jiu didn't want to believe Fu Hanqing, but he really felt incredulous: "What method can you use to transport 100,000 people who are alive, who want to eat, drink, pull and scatter, to the place you call far away and cut off from news?" ”
Fu Hanqing shook his head: "I can't answer this question." ”
Di Jiu knew his character, and he said that he couldn't answer, that is, he really couldn't answer, and there was no room for negotiation in this.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and say: "That is to say, after that, all the people who disappeared because of Xiaolou, whether they fought at the door of Xiaolou, or wanted to invade and rob you, or wanted to probe your secrets, were locked far away by you in this way, and they will never be able to come back?" ”
Fu Hanqing nodded.
"So, according to legend, there is an emperor who wants to release water to wash away the small building, but the water is diverted, and there is a king who wants to set fire to the dense forest, and it rains heavily, what methods do you use to control this kind of thing?" Di Jiu hesitated, "Is it a coincidence, or is there another mystery?" ”
He is a strong-willed, not easily shaken person, never believes in strange powers, and always feels that there must be ghosts in something too magical. Whether this legend is true or not, or whether it is a coincidence in those magical legends, and there are people who have carved out the attachments, these are all doubtful.
Fu Hanqing's answer was to shake his head simply and directly: "I can't answer you this question." "Did he say that we used high-tech lasers to blow up the river and artificial rain?
Di Jiu reached out and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and finally gave up continuing to pursue the old things, and focused on the more practical present: "Then you came to this red dust to seek an epiphany?" Are you enlightened now? When we are the guru, is it good for your epiphany? ”
Fu Hanqing let out a long sigh, his expression was slightly sad: "I think I have to pass, it may be a long time." As for being your sect leader, it's really pure coincidence and has nothing to do with it. ”
Di Jiu gave a sneering expression that I believe you have a ghost: "What about the Wind Festival, he is also a businessman for."
”
"I don't know very well......," Fu Hanqing vaguely remembered that Feng Jinjie's thesis seemed to be a loyal minister, did it have anything to do with businessmen, he couldn't be sure, "We classmates, when we entered the WTO, there was basically no contact, and the rules of Xiaolou also told us not to meet as much as possible, and everyone faced their own problems alone, so I didn't know much about him." ”
"Then isn't it inconsistent with your rules that he came to see you this time?"
"It's a coincidence that he came to see me, which is good for his local business, and he can treat this purely as a business meeting, and after this time, he will basically not come to me again."
"So......" Di Jiu looked thoughtful, "what if you are in trouble?" ”
Fu Hanqing did not hide it, and said calmly: "If I am killed in front of him, even if it is a stranger, he will help, it is impossible that he will not save me because I am an acquaintance." But if it's in a distant place, as long as it has nothing to do with his business, under normal circumstances, he shouldn't care. ”
Di Jiu's eyes flashed with different colors: "What about the abnormal situation?" ”
"The abnormal situation is more complicated, involving many deeper rules of the small building." Fu Hanqing shook his head again, "So, I still can't answer you." ”
"So, how many people in your Xiaolou are there in all the countries in the world now?"
Fu Hanqing counted on his fingers: "I'm not too sure, I guess there may be six or seven." ”
"Who are they?" Di Jiu asked quickly.
Fu Hanqing ignored the disappointment in his eyes. Continue to shake his head: "First, I don't know very well, and second, even if I do, I can't tell you about them. ”
Di Jiu reluctantly suppressed his emotions and continued to ask.
However, at this point, the problem has inevitably deepened. And all the in-depth questions, Fu Hanqing's answers, are basically the same.
"I can't say."
"I can't answer you."
"I can't tell you ......"
……
After going back and forth more than ten times, Di Jiu finally couldn't help but start a fire: "I can't say it, I can't say it, even if you are willing to answer my question, why can't you say so much." ”
Fu Hanqing replied calmly: "Because I want you to live well." ”
Di Jiu, who was originally furious. Suddenly, he was shocked, his eyes were fixed on Fu Hanqing, and he didn't move anymore. He understood this sentence immediately.
However, his face gradually turned pale, and he stared at Fu Hanqing for a long time, he didn't speak, didn't move, and refused to look away.
Fu Hanqing was stared at by him. Slightly cautiously stepping back: "This, that." I say...... Are you done with your questions? What I don't answer, all I really can't answer. Don't ask again, okay? By the way, if you're done, can I go back to sleep in a different room? This, you know, I'm already tired...... That, you're ......."
In his scattered words, Di Jiu's face was always bleak. Suddenly, he turned around, like a whirlwind. Rushed straight out.
Because he went out with an internal qi on his body, the two doors were brought down by the sound of the wind between his movements.
Fu Hanqing stretched out his hand and scratched his head in a daze, this, don't I have to answer all questions, I really can't answer, and there is no way. With such a cooperative attitude, why is he still so angry?
Di Jiu kept rushing out, from the railing of the verandah, swept out of the Deyue Tower, floated onto the roof, standing alone at the highest part of the Deyue Tower, looking up at Cangyu, but his face was always cold.
The man said, "Because I want you to live well." ”
Yes, if others know the secrets of the Shura Sect, they will definitely kill people, not to mention a strange place like Xiaolou.
That said, why is he willing to answer so many questions?
Di Jiu closed his eyes, quietly and calmly breathed, and looked inward. He knew how shocked he was when he first heard the word Xiaolou, and he was almost crazy at that moment. If it weren't for Fu Hanqing's slow answer to help him calm his mind, he would definitely be hurt by the invasion of the demon in his heart for a while.
The man had eyes as clear as a baby.
How strange it is to care about people who don't matter, to think about other people, to work hard for others, and to put yourself in a dilemma for the sake of others.
A fool who only seeks to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and is never indifferent to his own affairs, will think hard and strive for it in order not to let people kill some stranger he does not know, and will not hesitate to divulge the biggest secret in order to help a guy who is looking for trouble for him everywhere.
That man, at all times, had the most frank look, the most clear tone.
What he said was so unreasonable, but his intellect clearly didn't believe a word, but in his heart he clearly believed ten out of ten, for what, as long as it came out of that person's mouth, he couldn't really doubt a single thing, but he felt that what he said must be true.
The man said, "Because I want you to live well." ”
So he thought hard about how to satisfy the greatest curiosity of others as much as possible, and how to grasp the so-called secrets that would endanger others.
Therefore, he will frown, so he will be embarrassed, so he will sigh, but he will not hesitate, he will not deceive, he will not prevaricate, he will answer if he can, and he will not use words to argue, but calmly answer with the word no.
The man said, "Because I want you to live well." ”
But if I don't care about my own life, why should you care, such an insignificant person?
In this world, in this vast world, why would an inexplicable guy come out of nowhere, come to care about my life, and come to be so embarrassed for my life.
On that day, the sun was in the sky, and on that day, the sky was high and the clouds were light.
The new Heavenly King of the Shura Sect, with his sleeves full of independent high-rise winds, facing the sky on his back, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, his eyes were almost a little bleak hatred, and he let out a low miserable laugh.
It turns out that a cold, cruel, ruthless, and vicious monster like me can even care about my life.
The man's eyes were surprisingly pure, his expression was surprisingly open, and his tone was surprisingly calm, and he said, "Because I want you to live well." ”
