Chapter Seventy-Four: The Human Mind

"Childe is now a guest at my tavern, and no one can hurt him. The drunkard said.

"He's out the door of the tavern. The butcher said.

"But I haven't paid for the drink yet," the drunkard said.

The butcher understood, "But you don't have to stop me. ”

"Old man, please get out of the way," Su Yan said. "Let him come. ”

When others stand up for themselves, they should always speak politely, even if they don't appreciate it.

"But you haven't given me the money for the wine yet," the drunkard said to Su Yan as well.

"I'll give it to you now," Su Yan pulled out a silver ingot.

"I won't accept it now, you will come to drink in the future, and you will give it together then." "The drunkard didn't take the silver from Su Yan's hand.

Su Yan felt impatient, he looked into the distance, the town was as bright as day, opposite him was a white wall, but the night was deep in the distance, his eyes moved back and forth between the white wall of the town and the night in the distance, the dark night and the white wall gradually became blurred, "What do you want?" Su Yan had an irrepressible mania.

The Seven Stars shone brightly again, and the bodies of some of the old people in the crowd began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Drama," shouted the drunkard.

The actor walked over with sad eyebrows, not long ago he was a brother and friend for countless years, and in a blink of an eye, the avenue went to one side, and he sighed a little that life is like a play.

"Go away," he said to the butcher, "and the drunkard may not be able to stop you, but you certainly do not want to be in the theater while drinking." ”

The butcher understood the attitude of the playman, and he put the butcher knife away.

Because the manic mood caused by the butcher's killing machine receded, Su Yan calmed down, and Qixing disappeared again.

The butcher turned around and walked into the distance without looking back, and the drunkard looked at the butcher's back and suddenly shouted, "Butcher." ”

Stopped, the butcher still did not look back, and the drunkard said, "Take care!"

After all, he is a little nostalgic, but everyone has their own choice that they think is right.

The drunkard did not speak, and walked off into the distance again.

He will definitely not be able to defeat the drunkard and the actor by himself.

......

"Who else are you leaving?" said the drunkard, a little tired, to the crowd.

There was a small commotion in the crowd, and then out came a dozen more old men, who walked off into the distance like butchers.

"Let's disperse the rest of the people, remember to blow out the lights when you go home, and it's time to go to bed in the middle of the night." The drunkard let the rest of the crowd disperse, and then said to Su Yan: "Childe must have a lot of doubts, let's go to the house and sit down." ”

This time, he didn't sit at another table, he sat with Su Yan and the drunkard.

"The town is a forgotten place," said the drunkard, "we are a group of forgotten people, to be precise, a group of people who escape." ”

Su Yan didn't speak, waiting for the drunkard to continue.

"Every 10,000 years, there is a catastrophe in the world, first the light, and the light washes everything in the world, and no one knows where the light comes from. The drunkard is stuck in a distant memory, still with fear on his face.

"Light is cold light, there is no temperature, the whole world has always been a bright world, and even the darkness that everyone usually hates has become a luxury," the wrinkles on the drunkard's face trembled, like undulating waves.

"Isn't this the legendary world of light in the Daomen?" asked Su Yan.

Legend has it that Haotian's divine kingdom is the world of light, and their divine art is the great light technique.

There was a strange look on the drunkard's face, "Do you know who I am? Do you know who all the people in the town used to be?"

Su Yan shook his head, he really didn't know.

"I used to be the head of the Daomen," the drunkard's words were shocking, "they are all cultivators of the wordless cliff of the Daomen!"

"We were all once Haotian's most devout believers, and I think I represent Haotian's walk in the world,"

"It's like you're walking the world on behalf of the academy now," the drunkard explained.

Su Yan stood up with a 'whew', the relationship between the Daomen and the academy has always been friendly.

"Don't worry, Childe," the drunkard motioned for Su Yan to sit down, "I just said that we were just people who used to be Daomen, and the current Daomen really has nothing to do with us." ”

The drunkard took the wine glass and drank it all, "At that time, the player was a missionary of the Daomen, and the butcher was the chief monk on the wordless cliff, and each of us believed in Haotian wholeheartedly, and our lifelong dream was to sprinkle the light of Haotian in every corner of the world." ”

"At that time, the Daomen was the most powerful sect in the world, at that time there was no Buddhism, no academy, no empire in the world, there was only the Daomen in the world, and the Daomen managed the entire world on behalf of Haotian. The drunkard drank another glass of wine, and the drama also drank a glass, as if recalling the glory of the past, and their faces became rosy.

"Because of the strength of the Daomen, everyone has become a believer in Haotian, and everyone is looking forward to the world becoming a bright world, Haotian's divine kingdom. ”

"Is there really the existence of Haotian?" asked Su Yan, the academy had never thought that there was Haotian.

"No one knows whether Haotian exists or not, and we don't know now. The drunkard replied.

Su Yan was even more confused, even the former masters, missionaries, and cultivators of the Daoist Sect could not determine the existence of Haotian, who could be sure that Haotian existed? Could it be that Haotian's countless years of belief were all imaginary?

"Childe, please don't worry, listen to what I've said. The drunkard said that some memories are too far away and have been left in the long river of time, if it were not for the isolation of the town, I am afraid that the drunkard would have forgotten who he was.

"Until one day, when I found that I had stood at the pinnacle of the world, every word I said was regarded as Haotian's will, no one questioned it, no one resisted, at that time I still didn't know where Haotian was, where Haotian's divine kingdom was, I even thought I was Haotian, so I founded a town with the butcher and the drama, everything imitated the appearance of the kingdom of God depicted in the Taoist scriptures, but the passage of life let me know that I am not Haotian, because I can't live forever. ”

"So I set out on the road to find Haotian again, I tried all the methods, but I still can't find Haotian, I can't see the kingdom of God, I can't see the hope of eternal life, we start to be anxious, we start to fear, the huge fear of death makes us crazy, we start to question the existence of Haotian, question the correctness and truth of the Taoist scriptures. ”

One night, I held the book that I had read countless times, I lost my mind, since there was no Haotian, what is the use of keeping this deceitful book, the book began to burn in my hand, and in the burning flames appeared such a paragraph: 'The blue sky and the sun are full of red, and the kingdom of Haotian God descends to the world. ”

This passage appeared in the burning flames, in the night sky of the continent, I saw this sentence, the butcher saw this sentence, the actor saw this sentence, and all the people saw this sentence. ”

"Each of us is ecstatic, Haotian is existing, this is the oracle of the great Haotian.

Because the burned Dao Dictionary appeared intact in the palm of my hand.

After that night, three months of celebration were held because people finally saw hope that the kingdom of God was coming and everyone would have eternal life. ”

"But three months have passed, a year has passed, the world is still the same as before, no miracles have happened, and the kingdom of God still has no shadow, and there is no blue sky and red sky. ”

"So some people began to doubt, doubting me and the drama and the butcher, suspecting that we wanted to go to Haotian's divine kingdom alone and secretly, doubting our devotion to Haotian, and doubting the correctness of the Dao Sect we led. ”

'Bang', the oil lamp burst out of a spark, the firelight shook twice, reflecting the faces of the drunkard and the actor, Su Yan listened quietly, waiting for the drunkard to continue.

"Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they sprout and grow quickly, and then spread like wildfire. In the following year, the bishop of the sect at that time and several red-clothed priests killed the priests and congregants who were loyal to the headquarters, announced their departure from the headquarters of the Daomen, and told the world that they were the people who were favored by Haotian! I, the dramatists, and the butchers were all sinners who stole the gods.

At first, people naturally didn't believe it, but when the judgment god I sent to ask for sins announced that he would join them, the whole world was in an uproar, in fact, even I couldn't believe it at the time, because the judgment god seat at that time was my only disciple, how could he betray me?

But he said a word to the world, a word that caused chaos in the whole world. He said he saw me burn the canon to ashes. ”

"Because he was there when I burned the canon. ”

The drunkard smiled bitterly twice, indescribably sad, "This is the disciple I trust the most for thousands of years, the ruling divine seat of the Daomen. ”

Su Yan looked at the drunkard, he could imagine the sadness of being betrayed by the person he trusted the most, if one day the senior brothers of the academy and Xiaodao no longer trusted him, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"If the words of a mere bishop are not enough to win people's trust, then the words of the judgment of God are forced by many to believe them. ”

Su Yan knew the status of the Ruling Divine Seat in the Dao Sect, and although the current Ruling Divine Seat Chen Banshan looked a little obscene, no one could deny his loyalty to the Master of the Ruling Sect and his devotion to Haotian.

There are such people who cannot believe the words that come out of their mouths.

The drunkard continued: "After the southern division, the northern division also announced its separation from the Daomen, and then the eastern division, each of which governed three counties, so the Daomen of Tietong became divided in an extreme period of time, and the division of the Daomen at that time was equivalent to the division of the human world now. Of course, we will not watch the Dao Gate continue like this, and the Dao Gate does not allow the existence of Haotian to be desecrated, because the Dao Sect is still enshrined in the Temple of Light. ”

"So the war began, and for me and the butcher, the three small divisions were tantamount to mantis arms as cars, and it took us a year to quell this civil strife in Daomen.

"Guess what I said when I took the disciple to face me? He said that he couldn't see the hope of eternal life, and he didn't do it as a teacher, hahaha......"

"He said he wanted to be a teacher!" the drunkard laughed as if he remembered something extremely funny.
