On the way back to the inn, Xu Han's face was extremely gloomy.

Whine and Xuan'er, who had always been restless, also seemed to feel the young man's mood at the moment, and followed him quietly without making any sound.

And Zhen Yue didn't say a word, everything she had seen before was far beyond her cognition of Senluo Palace, and she vaguely understood that she seemed to have been involved in a terrible conspiracy. This is not a good thing for her like this.

In this way, the two walked out of the tattered alley in silence and came to the already bustling street.

At that time, there were still people coming and going in the Henghuang City, and the chattering drinkers in the wine shops at the street entrance were still talking.

Xu Han stopped at that time.

Zhen Yue, who was thinking about what was going on behind Xu Han, ran into Xu Han's junior without paying attention, she touched her forehead that was a little painful, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Han turned his head at that time, looked at Zhen Yue, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still want to follow me?"

Zhen Yue, who was also thinking about this issue, couldn't help but be stunned, she was like being poked by someone and thinking about it, the look on her face was a little embarrassed, and she was also a little hesitant.

And such hesitation undoubtedly gave Xu Han an answer.

He glanced at Zhen Yue deeply: "Follow me to save your life, and now I can guarantee that Yi Yuan's cultivation ability is enough to lift the pursuit of you by Senluo Palace, so following me will no longer be of any benefit to you... Just for the sake of your loyal little brothers, let's go..."

After saying this, Xu Han lost the mind to listen to Zhen Yue's response, turned his head, and walked away.

Zhen Yue subconsciously wanted to catch up, but the footsteps that had just taken him suddenly stopped for some reason, hanging in the air, and he didn't keep up with Xu Han's pace after all...

She suddenly understood that the difference between her and this young man was not only cultivation, but also some things that she couldn't understand but really existed.

It was a barrier she couldn't overcome...

......

The two returned to the inn one after the other.

Hu Ma and the others, who couldn't find Zhen Yue and the others, couldn't sleep with peace of mind, and had been waiting in the hall of the inn, so they naturally didn't dare to provoke Xu Han, and they all gathered around Zhen Yue, gossiping about to say something.

Zhen Yue's mood was not depressed, he drank one by one, and looked at Xu Han's departing back, wanting to say something, but he still couldn't speak, so he could only return to his room in silence, which made Hu Ma and the others look at each other with a look of confusion.

Xu Han did not go back to the room to rest.

He came to Mr. Wei's room, hesitated at the door for a while, and finally knocked on the old man's door.

"Come in. The old man seemed to have expected Xu Han's arrival, and the moment the door was knocked, the old man's voice sounded.

Although Xu Han was surprised by this, he still stepped into the door.

Mr. Wei was still half-lying on the bed, but his complexion seemed to be much better, and when he saw Xu Han enter the door, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden stool next to the bed, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”

Xu Han sat down in response, but did not speak at the first time.

But how could he hide that little bit of his mind from Mr. Wei? The old man looked Xu Han up and down for a while, and then asked again, "What's wrong?"

"Sir..." Xu Han pondered for a while, then looked up at the old man: "I have a confusion in my heart, and I don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

The old man looked at the young man with a frowning brow, and his face showed a rare look of love, and he said: "Then let's hear it, although the old man does not have much knowledge, but after all, he will live longer, and he may give you some advice." ”

But Rao is like this, Xu Han still groaned for a long time before he said: "If I want to save one person, but I hurt many people..."

"Then this person, can I save it or not?"

The old man smiled, and did not answer Xu Han's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Then is there a reason why this person you want to save has to be?"

"Hmm. Xu Han didn't think about it, so he gave his own answer.

"Do you know those who will die because of this?" asked the old man again.

Xu Han thought for a moment and replied, "You may or may not know..."

"Is the person you want to save more important to you?" the smile on the old man's face became a little heavier.

"Hmm. Xu Han nodded again.

"So your hesitation is not whether you should save it, but whether the price is worth it for you?" asked the old man.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but had to nod again.

"But you don't have to pay the price, as you said, you don't know the people who will die because of it. The old man was still asking.

This time, Xu Han didn't agree with the old man's point of view again, but he didn't refute it either, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know how to express his feelings accurately for a while.

"Or is that a lot too big a number for you to afford?"

"Not true. This time, Xu Han shook his head decisively, he looked directly at the old man's gaze, and said very firmly: "This has nothing to do with how much. ”

"I was once given a righteous life, and I was petitioned to die by thousands of people. They said, "If I die, there will be peace in the world for a long time, and the people will not be left from me." ”

"I don't know if this will really be what they say, but whether it's true or not, I don't think it's right, why should I die for those irrelevant people..."

Speaking of this, Xu Han paused, and a rare look of confusion appeared on his face.

His mind seemed to be a little confused, so he quickly reversed his previous statement: "Or rather, I just don't like to be killed by those people for such a high-sounding reason." I don't think anyone can decide whether someone else lives or dies. At least for a person who has not made a mistake. ”

"That's why I hate them..."

"But if I saved Ah Sheng, but killed other people, even if I don't know them, I still feel inappropriate, because in this way, I am no different from them, and I hate them..."

The old man didn't seem to feel the confusion in the young man's heart at the moment, he stared at the young man for a while, and said helplessly: "In that case, you only have to save the Ah Sheng in his mouth?"

But Xu Han shook his head again: "I can save him, but if I don't save him for the so-called righteousness, then I am still no different from them..."

Xu Han said with a frown, as if he was also confused by his own logic, so that his brows furrowed even deeper.

"So it's a dead knot?" asked the old man.

Xu Han nodded, but shook his head again, not knowing how to continue the topic.

The old man looked at Xu Han again, he suddenly put away the playful or relaxed look on his face, he unexpectedly stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xu Han's head, like an elder caressing his children and grandchildren.

Xu Han was surprisingly not abrupt by Mr. Wei's move, but was extremely relieved.

"There is no shortage of people in this world who tell you that you can't have both, or that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, of course, some of them may really experience this or that helplessness, but more people just use these as excuses they need, or reasons for self-stability. ”

"I can't empathize with your frustration, but I thought, since you're so hesitant, why don't you think about whether there's a way to do both..."

"It may be difficult, it may be empty. ”

"But whether you are born in the world, live in the world, die in the world, whether you are immortals who have lived for a thousand years, but mortals who have lived for a hundred years, when you come to this world, I think it is not to taste these helplessness, but to change these helplessness. ”

"Even if you don't have anything in the end, but you've come, you've fought, and you've really lived, so you're worthy of going through the world...."

Xu Han listened to the old man's words, and he couldn't say that he suddenly became enlightened, but he had some understanding in his heart.

He stood up, looked at the old man with a smile on his face, and finally arched his hand towards the other party, but he felt that it was inappropriate and was about to bow down.

But at that time, the old man stretched out his hand to stop him: "This is not a good way, the old man is talking nonsense, if you want to thank him, you should wait until you have succeeded in doing this." ”

Xu Han didn't understand why Mr. Wei cared so much about this, but he didn't mean to brush the old man after all, so he just thanked him before turning around and leaving.

......

When Xu Han walked out of the room, a burst of white light suddenly lit up in the wooden box beside the old man.

A handsome man with two sideburns and hairy ears suddenly appeared beside the old man, he looked at the direction of Xu Han's departure, and whispered, "Didn't you already choose him? Why are you still hesitating at this time?"

The old man who heard the words did not show any surprise at the appearance of the man, he turned his head to look at the man, and said, "I'm just a little reluctant..."

The old man sighed, looked at the wooden box he had carried with him for hundreds of years, and said, "This burden is too heavy for him after all..."

"It's... Let's put it to the last test..."

The man pursed his lips slightly at the old man's sigh, and did not refute it, but said after smiling: "Maybe you should take a look at what I found, so that you may change your mind..."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, he looked sideways at the man and asked, "You found it?"

"Not yet. The man shook his head, "But it's not far from the truth..."

"That guy's origin is probably more terrifying than you think..."

After saying that, the man took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom and handed it to the old man, who took the ancient book and opened it, and when he looked at it, the expression on his face suddenly changed at that time, and his pupils were dilated.

The man looked at the shocked old man, shook his head, and sighed.

"There are so many secrets in this world, I thought we might have to meet the watcher..."
