Chapter 69: Lonely Xia on Ancient and Modern
Guxia Lake, a piece of autumn color.
Three hundred miles from east to west, six hundred miles from north to south, its shape is like the moon, its color is like jade, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side is a big river. The smoke waves are vast, the colors are thousands, the herons fly and the cranes sing, the brocade scales leap into the water, the wild boats do not cross, and the vast and silent.
In terms of the scenery in the lake alone, there are hundreds of different steps, and the weather is thousands, even in the entire Eastern Immortal Domain, there is no second lake that is comparable enough.
The autumn water sky is long and colorful, and the sunset and the lonely bird fly together.
In the center of the huge lake, there is a hexagonal pavilion, which is quite exquisitely built, but the vermilion lacquer on it has also been mottled, and the tiles are also missing. It's such a great place, but not many people want to come. The impact of the great war between cultivators on the world is still not small.
Wang Shi went straight to the pavilion, but there was no one inside, so he had to look at the lake and wait quietly.
From the golden scales of the sunset to the moonlight at midnight, there has never been half a figure. Wang Shi's mood calmed down at this time, but he was no longer in a hurry.
The rippling moonlight, forming a long road, gradually disappeared into the mist. The surrounding area is misty and cosmic, and the island in the center is a forgotten platform. There is quite a feeling of admiration for the infinite universe and sighing that my life is fleeting.
Soon, a flat boat cleared the fog on the lake and slowly sailed over.
The singing voice is ethereal, like an old fisherman, singing with a little vicissitudes: I have friends to treat me in the lake pavilion, but I will leave trivial things to me. and sell three catties of shallow wine, joking that the world is up to five watches.
The journey was not long, Bian Zhou approached the Hexagonal Pavilion, and the drama walked out, holding two jars of wine and a three-layer food box, and said with a smile: "The moon is just right, and I came just right." The tone was like an old friend I hadn't seen for years.
The black and white mask, no matter what kind of pupil technique, can't see through what kind of face is under this mask. However, this expressionless mask can make you feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the owner.
Towering mountains, bright as streamers, the deer of Gusen, the whale of the poor sea. This is the first feeling that the play gave Wang Shi, dignified, chic and extraordinary, without the slightest trickery. Except for the black and white mask, it can be said that he is a perfect person.
Putting everything else aside, the actor is definitely the most perfect person Wang Shi has ever seen.
Wang Shi said calmly: "It's been a long time, this time I should call you 'Xizi'?"
"It's good to play. The bitch is ruthless, the drama is meaningless, let's treat me as a person's shell, ruthless and unrighteous, anyone in the opera can enter my shell. The actor smiled, walked to the pavilion, put down the food and drinks one by one, and made a "please" gesture.
"Let my friends wait for a long time, and I'll punish myself with three cups first. The actor poured himself three glasses of wine.
Wang Shi looked at it calmly, without showing the slightest enthusiasm. No matter how good the other party is, it fits his own character, and after all, he is more of an enemy.
The actor sat down and said, "I invited the old man this time just to catch up with you, and as for the letter, it was just a little trick I played." ”
"What does it mean to be an old man?"
"During the Spring and Autumn Gate, you and I met several times, how can we not be considered old friends? Not to mention, future friends can not be described as old friends?"
"How can you be considered a friend?"
"Treating each other with all sincerity, sharing life and death, is it for friends? Indeed, and you also want such friends, Zhao Wenqi, Tang Tian, and Zhuang Kai can be described as best friends. But can someone talk to you about the infinity of the universe and the ethereal avenue? If so, I am naturally your friend, and you are also my friend. ”
The actor drank a glass of wine, and said as if recalling: "Two years is not long, under the wolf's tooth moon, in the dead of night, and the lights in the distance are not extinguished, I often stroke the qin and ask myself: Where is my friend?"
After a speech, it really moved Wang Shi. However, the string in his heart was always tight. I was not moved, I never drank, I just looked at each other calmly.
The actor seemed to smile and said, "To tell you the truth, Erya is very good now, much better than you think." It's just that you can't go to her now. As soon as the matter in the Eastern Immortal Domain is over, you should go to the Central Domain to take a look. ”
"What else is there any news about Erya?"
Xizi added another glass of wine and said, "You can go back and ask Mr. Nan Huaile, he doesn't want to tell you, I'm afraid I'm worried that you're thinking too much, and now you have enough things." Erya's matter, you know it's also a burden. ”
Wang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he no longer tried to see through what kind of face was under the mask, nor did he speculate about the other party's purpose.
"The wine sold by the small shop in the neighboring village is not spicy, not spicy, slightly sweet, you might as well try it. A few side dishes are also the specialty dishes of the small shop, and they can't be served on the table, but they can also be drunk. Xizi said, handing Wang Shi a pair of bamboo chopsticks.
With a little calmness in his heart, he no longer cared about other things, Wang Shi began to drink and eat vegetables, which was quite delicious.
"Brother Wang, do you know the situation in the Eastern Immortal Domain now?"
"What's the situation?"
"The beacon fires are everywhere, the heroes are rising together, and the warring states are vertical and horizontal. ”
"Throughout the ages, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Millennial reincarnation, but that's it. What lasts for a long time is bound to decay. The dynasty has long been decayed, and it is reasonable that it will collapse. ”
"When Brother Wang was in the Spring and Autumn Gate, he definitely didn't have such an attitude. The actor said seriously.
In the Spring and Autumn Gate, Wang Shi can be said to be extremely compassionate and can't bear to slaughter, otherwise there would be no many crises. If it is deduced in this way, Wang Shi should have mercy on all sentient beings at this time, how can he bear to see the lives and souls ruined? The Warring States Period, the population of the Eastern Immortal Domain should be reduced by at least half.
Wang Shi drank a glass of wine and said, "Murder is the worst crime. This is true regardless of the reason for killing. I used to be willing to bear this sin, but now I want to laugh at the naivety of the past. The crime of murder, but why should I bear it?"
The guilt of killing, in the final analysis, is generated by oneself. If you don't want to carry it, how can you have it?
In the past, Wang Shi thought that killing people was too sinful. Even if they do something wrong at the time, don't they have a chance to wake up and regret their hatred? The wicked have never been able to become a good person. What's more, most people are just swinging on the boundary line between the two.
Can you have no regrets about killing an evil person, but can you have no regrets about killing a good person? How much blood did Wang Shi's hands have on his hands, so he didn't kill him by mistake? How should he face a person who was wrongly killed?
The actor continued to add wine and said, "The common people are not worthy of pity. ”
Wang Shi said: "Pitiful, hateful. Individuals have their own destiny, and life and death should be the same. ”
"So you're willing to work with Xuanyuan Ang. ”
"If he can really establish a good dynasty in this wasteland, establish a calendar, bind everyone, and revitalize this land, it may not be a bad thing. ”
"Rolling wheels, even if they crush tens of thousands of mediocre people, it's not worth mentioning?"
Wang Shi suddenly laughed, drank the wine in the cup, and said, "What's the matter with me?"
The actor also laughed and said, "The royal way, the chivalrous way, it seems that you have already made a difference." ”
"The righteousness of chivalry takes the common people in the world as its own responsibility. But what does the world have to do with me? The people in the world have their own destiny. If they don't throw themselves into the fire, how can they wake up? The common people are mediocre and idle all their lives, and only life and death can touch them. A hero who takes the common people of the world as his own responsibility, but he wants to be safe for a lifetime, and can he protect the people from a long time ago? A man who is overflowing with mercy is not as good as a ruthless king. ”
"But if a little woman is bullied, will you watch from the sidelines?"
Wang Shi laughed and said, "What I see, this is my business, how can I stand idly by?"
The drama said: "Can you consider the eternal things of the common people?"
"Not considered. ”
"What's in front of you, what's underfoot. ”
Wang Shi laughed and said, "If it were any other way, we would really become friends." ”
After experiencing too many things, Wang Shi has already understood that all he can do is the immediate thing, take the road under his feet, and as for those grand ideas, it is better to kick them away. What kind of knight, what kind of king, in fact, is not what Wang Shi wants.
Not compassionate, not tyrannical, all equal, all the same dogs.
The actor smiled but did not refute.
Wang Shi said: "The dynasty, the immortal clan, but they are all a way to rule people. It's nothing more than concentrating your strength, so that you can exert better power. Since the system has decayed, it is inevitable to destroy it. ”
The drama said: "Chronic diseases are very sick, and they can only be cured by completely cutting them off." ”
"I would prefer that Xuanyuan Ang would be able to establish his dynasty. ”
"There has never been an ideal country in this world, there has never been one, and there will never be one. What is a human being? Full of desires, it is a human being! Spiritual practice, a way of attaining greater power, magnifies people's desires without limit. As long as desire remains, and as long as plunder remains the fastest way to accumulate wealth, then the ideal state will not exist. ”
"If there is no desire, everything is a dead stone. Desire is the driving force to move forward. The ideal state will not exist, but neither will human progress. Xuanyuan Ang might build a good dynasty, and that's the best way to do it. ”
"It's a good way to control people with the country, and Xuanyuan Ang also has such a talent. ”
"It's just that Xuanyuan Ang seems to be humble, but he is ruthless enough, and if he wants to become a hegemon, he must do everything. ”
Putting in 100,000 wasteland people is the best fact to prove Xuanyuan Ang's ruthlessness.
The drama laughed and said, "You're still worried about the common people." ”
Wang Shi also smiled self-deprecatingly, but his eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at the play, and said: "The Warring States are vertical and horizontal, thousands of forces are conquering, Xuanyuan Ang uses this as a chess game, his courage and courage are at the peak, and he deserves to be a king." Such people are humble to you as a servant, who are you?"
The actor smiled and said, "I can be anyone." ”
"At the very least, you have to have an identity. ”
"Guess what. ”
Wang Shi drank a glass of wine, stared at the black and white mask, and said seriously and firmly: "Yin Yang Gate!"
