White dew and white fascination, autumn equinox rice show.

The sky was clear and cloudless. The pale blue sky reflects the endless golden wheat fields on both sides of the official road, which is very enviable.

After a few days of trekking, Star Evil and String Shadow have arrived at the junction of Star State and Zhen State. At this time, there were a few loud geese chirping in the distant clear sky, and the star evil raised his head when he heard the sound, and watched the geese form a group and fly towards the south. The warm sunlight shone on his delicate eyebrows, but it couldn't dissolve the sorrow in his eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the young man beside him, Xianying sighed softly. More than ten days together, the star evil's respectfulness, gentleness, kindness, and intelligence have made Xianying very appreciative, as a teacher, this posterity has not only made him have the intention of making friends, but also has a heart of love.

After hesitating for a moment, Xianying spoke: "Little Brother Star Evil, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Star Evil came back to his senses and said apologetically, "You may ask." ”

"Along the way, it depends on your melancholy face, can you ask more, what are you doing in Zhenzhou, maybe I can help you with one or two. ”

Xing Xie shook his head, his face gloomy, "There is a senior brother who has lost his news in Cangyang, and this time I went to Cangyang to find him." ”

Xianying nodded and said solemnly: "It turned out that I was just passing through Zhenzhou." Cangyang is an abandoned place, full of bandit armies, and the remnants of radiance, how could your senior brother go to a dangerous place like Cangyang. ”

"Senior brother entered the Tao with war, he always believed that there was a great opportunity between life and death, so he joined the army in Zhenzhou and went to Cangyang to practice. Xing Xie said with a little self-reproach in his tone, "Actually, I opposed his Dao a long time ago, and it is too unreasonable to hurt people's lives for the sake of enlightenment, and it is also extremely risky for myself, but Senior Brother is too stubborn." If I had known this, I should have been more resolute at the time. ”

"Your senior brother has great courage when he entered the Tao by battle, and he must have been prepared for the current situation. As for hurting people's lives, little brother, do you know that Cangyang's ringing horses are harassing my sunset border, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all the evil things, your senior brother is doing harm for the people. It is precisely because there are so many people like your senior brother who have killed many great traitors that my people can be at peace in the twilight. Xianying reassured.

"But it's always wrong to kill. Star Evil said.

"Killing people is sometimes just about saving more people, maybe I shouldn't tell you this now, but you will understand in the future. Xianying patted Xingxie's shoulder and said seriously: "There are many people in this world who deserve to die, you can't be too kind in the face of them, if you leave them alive, they will use this life to kill thousands of people again, people should be benevolent and kind, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, they should also kill and be courageous." In the face of the starving people, the ancient saints used to weep with sorrow, cut off their own flesh and cook it to satisfy the hunger of the people in distress, and in the face of the thugs and thieves who oppressed the people, they also rushed into anger and cut off a person with a sword in ten steps. Unnecessary compassion is often equated with stupidity. ”

Xingxie's face was solemn, he raised his hands and eyebrows, saluted respectfully to the string shadow, and said sincerely: "Sir's teachings, Xingxie remembers. ”

The wild goose comes, the bird returns, and the autumn is high and cool.

There was nothing to do all the way, and in a few words, the two came to the small village within the boundary of Zhenzhou.

The dirt roads in the countryside were not as smooth as the official roads, and the bustling pedestrians slowed the two of them. Tun Tun, who had been hiding in Xingxie's arms since the morning, finally opened his sleepy eyes, poked his head a little confused, and the two dishonest long ears rubbed against Xingxie's chest were slightly itchy, Xing Xie was worried that Tu Tun would catch a cold, so he tightened his clothes, and asked in a harmonious voice, "After sleeping for so long, are you hungry?"

Swallow shook his head, spit out his pink tongue and licked his lips.

"It seems that you are thirsty, and I will take you to beg for water. Star Evil looked around, and his eyes fell on a low tiled house at the head of the village, and the small courtyard outside the tiled house was not like an ordinary farmer raising a few old hens, or planting some seasonal vegetables, but in full bloom rows of brilliant golden chrysanthemums, begonias, and many flowers that Star Evil could not name, and the purple and red flowers were not gorgeous.

On the mud-compacted steps in front of the tiled house squatted an old man, as if he had just returned from the field, a dark-skinned old man smoking a dry cigarette, with a hoe stained with mud and an iron shears for pruning branches and leaves, staring intently at the flowers blooming in his yard.

As if sensing Xingxie's gaze, the old man looked in the direction of Xingxie, the two looked at each other, Xingevil raised his hand and saluted, and the old man smiled and nodded in response.

Xing Xie hugged Tutun, walked outside the courtyard, and said in a harmonious voice: "We are passing by here, and we haven't met an inn along the way, can we beg for a drink from you?"

"What's not to do, the person who comes is a guest, let alone drink saliva, even if you stay for dinner, there is no problem. The old man smiled happily, and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes also stretched a lot. He got up and opened the door, inviting the Star Shadow into the courtyard.

"After my wife left, I have lived here alone for many years, because I am a flower planter, so I rarely have the opportunity to go out for a walk, you two dolls are people who have seen the world, if you don't rush on the road, you might as well stay for half a day to talk to me. The old man said and scooped up a large scoop of water and held it in front of Xingxie, and said a little embarrassed: "Well, there are no clean bowls at home, so you can only use this wooden scoop to hold water, don't dislike the little doll." ”

"It's out of the way, but I'm causing you trouble. Xing Xie took the wooden scoop, hugged it to his chest, stretched out his two front paws to support the edge of the scoop, and hurriedly sent the water into the three-petaled small mouth that opened and closed, it seemed that he was thirsty.

"The little doll will discuss something with you. The old man looked at the swallow of drinking water, his dark face was slightly red, and he looked like he was demanding and restrained.

"Speak, please. Star Evil was slightly surprised.

"I have no children under my knees, and my wife left early, except for these flowers and plants, there is no one else in the yard, I see that your rabbit is clever and pleasant, I don't know if I can leave it as a companion." ”

"This ......" Star Evil groaned with a grimace on his face. The old man's family is in an embarrassing situation, and he is alone, which is really pitiful, but if he wants to give Tuntun to this old man, Xing Xie is very reluctant in his heart, and he still needs to ask Tuntun what he means.

Seeing Xing Xie's hesitation, the old man hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely treat this little guy well,"

"It's not a secret, it's very human, I've been with it day and night, and I've long regarded it as my own relative, but today I see you alone, and it's really a good thing to have it with you. In such a dilemma, it is better for us to let Tuntun choose for ourselves. ”

"Don't let me be a little doll, although this rabbit looks very cute, but there has never been a reason that the animal can't keep the owner as the master. According to you, this rabbit has become a refinement, so I don't dare to ask for it. The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, picked up the iron scissors on the ground, turned his back to repair the branches and leaves, and looked a little lonely and lonely with his rickety back.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Xing Xie wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"A gentleman does not speak in vain, but his words must be reasonable. This little brother is well-read and reasonable, how could he deceive you, a flower farmer, because of his own selfish desires. Xianying, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear to see the star evil embarrassed, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

A gentleman does not speak in vain, but his words must be reasonable. Readers don't talk empty words, and what they say must be the truth that makes sense.

"I don't understand the set of you scholars, I only know that this rabbit has been with the little doll for so long, if you let the rabbit choose by yourself according to what he said, it is difficult to choose me in this life. If you want to send it, you can send it happily, if you don't want to send it, you can't send it, I can't grab it. The old man's tone was faintly angry, as if he felt that Star Evil and String Shadow were teasing him.

Xing Xie frowned and said apologetically: "Please don't misunderstand what I mean, if you don't want to stay, you can also ask me if you have any needs, and I will do my best to meet them." ”

"What do I need?" the old man heard Xingxie's words, stopped the iron shears that were repairing the branches and leaves, moved slowly, and closed the door of the courtyard.

The door closed, and the air in the courtyard seemed to become dull. The Star Evil who stepped into the middle realm of the Ming Dao sensed that the energy flow of this small world had changed, and the old flower farmer in front of him was a cultivator!

The vitality hidden in the old man's body is like a spring shoot after the rain, recovering from the meridian organs little by little, with an inexplicable smile on his face, he said unhurriedly: "My family is poor, and I am reluctant to eat meat after a few meals. ”

The old man first wanted to let Tun Tun stay, and then he wanted to make soup with it, even if Xing Xie was kind-hearted, he also heard the sound of the old man's words, so he frowned even tighter, and said a few words seriously.

"A gentleman does not ask, and what he asks must be righteous. ”

Unlike the gentleman's unbelievable solution, the star heresy says that the gentleman does not ask for it, which is an exhortation. People should not be greedy for things that do not belong to them, they will not make profits with a delusional mentality, and they will not fall into the ground, seek private interests, and take by force. The star evil wanted to use this to persuade the old man to give up the thoughts in his heart.

However, the old man looked at the star evil, his eyes hidden in the wrinkles flickered, he raised the iron scissors in his hand, straightened up his rickety waist, and shouted: "A gentleman is not vain, and there must be righteousness!"

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense. Xianying took a step forward, stood in front of the star demon, and angrily reprimanded: "A gentleman must be upright when he acts, you are so unreasonable and messing around, you are also worthy of saying that you must be right?"

"When the old man traveled all over the world when he was young, how could he not see that this rabbit was a goblin, and repeatedly said that he wanted to get rid of this scourge for you, but who knew that you were confused by your mind, I did it for the people, and did the right thing for the heavens!"

"I know it's a demon, but I've been with it so far, and it's never harmed, and my teacher also said that the demon clan gets along well with us and generally doesn't harm us. I don't know what made you think about demons, but every life has the right to live, and I hope you will let us get out of here. Star Evil said.

The old man didn't answer, his wrist flicked slightly, and the iron scissors turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the string shadow standing in front.

String Shadow's face changed drastically, but he felt his shoulders sink, and at the same time, a soft force dragged him back a few steps, only to hear a "clang", and the iron scissors were inserted into the soil in front of String Shadow's feet, and submerged a few feet into the ground.

The person who rescued him was the star evil, his heart was a little uncomfortable, he couldn't understand why the old man could shoot so recklessly, even if it was to eliminate the demon, why he didn't even pity people's lives now.

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" Xianying's face was pale, obviously frightened, he raised his hand and pointed at the old man, trembling and speechless.

"Sir, stand in the back and take care of it, I'll leave it to me. Star Demon took a breath and handed the swallow in his arms to String Shadow, then removed the burden from his shoulders.

The burden was bulging, stuffed with clothes and dry food, and a black iron rod was tied to the outside of the baggage, and one end of the iron rod was sharpened, which was called the iron rod called Liyun. Xingyi held the iron chisel in his hand, and because he held it so hard, his knuckles were a little white, so he was a little nervous.

A gentleman should not speak in vain, for his words must be reasonable.

A gentleman should not ask for anything, for what he asks must be righteous.

A gentleman should not act in vain, because there must be righteousness.

Star Evil thought about his previous words, and then seemed to have made up his mind, raised his hand and raised the iron hammer, and smashed it towards the old man!

The gentleman should not act rashly, but now the star evil has moved.

Because—

Move! Yes!
