Chapter 80: Killing and Killing

Not long after the old man left, Xu Changqing got up and walked out of the bedroom, asked where Guan Zheng was, and walked over slowly. When he walked to the door of Guan Zheng's bedroom, he stopped, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face, not knowing if he should open the door and tell him his identity.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Just when Xu Changqing was hesitating, Guan Zheng suddenly walked in from another carriage and asked with a little surprise, "Have you finished talking to that old man?"

"We're done talking!Let's go in and talk about it!" Xu Changqing nodded slightly, opened the carriage door, walked in, and sat on the Western sand next to the table.

"Actually, after the Daoist Master hit me with the Taoist True Yuan, I had some suspicions. Guan Zheng nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "But I've never been sure, the Dharma performed by the master is so authentic no matter how you look at it, and it wasn't until later that the master restored all the Dao power in the talisman sword for me, and I was sure that the master must be a Taoist master." ”

"Alas! It's ridiculous that I thought my true identity was very hidden, but I didn't expect it to be seen at a glance, it's really a bit self-righteous, and it's a little too underestimating the world. Xu Changqing smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Brother Guan wants to know my true identity?"

"I don't want to!" Guan Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You and I are in a heart-to-heart relationship, I just need to know that you are a virtuous monk and master of the gods that I respect, as for what other identities have nothing to do with me Guan Zheng." Didn't the master once say that there is no difference between a Buddha and a Tao?"

"Hehe! It's me who looks at it!" Xu Changqing looked up and smiled, feeling that he had not staggered Guan Zheng's friend, and the worry in his heart was also put down, he looked Guan Zheng up and down, and said: "It seems that Brother Guan's Dao Heart cultivation has grown a little longer, and in a few days, Haoran Righteousness** will also increase, which is really gratifying!"

"It's thanks to the master who helped me survive the demon tribulation, allowing me to break through the Dao Heart Barrier. Guan Zheng sincerely thanked Xu Changqing, then sat down again, and asked with a slightly sad expression: "I also want to ask if what the master said about the method of resisting robbery with life is true, or is it ......?"

"But there is something going on!" Xu Changqing said bluntly: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, warlords rose everywhere, Huaxia's luck was exhausted, and the entire cultivation world was involved in a catastrophe, and many big families in the cultivation world used this method in order to survive this catastrophe. However, most of the cultivation families who had no luck and no sealed mountain spirit treasure did not escape this catastrophe in the end, and this can be seen by simply checking the inheritance of the Immortal Buddha Sect at that time. Your Guan family is a thousand-year-old family, and you have a long luck, but after all, it is not authentic, even if it is a long luck in the face of this catastrophe of heaven and earth. Although your Guan family must have the ancient mountain sealing spirit treasure, but the spirit treasure alone cannot stop the catastrophe, the only way is to use the life of the blood relatives to respond to the catastrophe, to block most of the catastrophe, and the rest of the catastrophe can be resisted by the mountain sealing spirit treasure to survive this catastrophe. ”

Guan Zheng was silent for a moment, and said with a firm expression: "When the matter of Beiping is over, I will go back." ”

"Brother Guan, have you decided to deal with the calamity for the family?" Xu Changqing looked at Guan Zheng's appearance, knew his thoughts, sighed, and said.

Guan Zheng nodded vigorously and said: "Although I have practiced Taoism since I was a child and have not read any books, I also know the truth that the family and the country are great, if I can give up my life in exchange for the continuation of the family, although I have no regrets in death!"

"A good one, even if you die, you have no regrets!" Xu Changqing looked at Guan Zheng with a heroic face, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively, he couldn't bear to bury such an upright person in his heart, and couldn't help but point: "But in my opinion, if Brother Guan really wants to help your Guan family survive this catastrophe, it's better not to go back." ”

"What did the master say about this?" Guan Zheng asked as he looked at Xu Changqing puzzled.

"When you go back to close your home, all you have to do is wait for death to meet the calamity, rather than this, it is better to compete for a glimmer of life in this catastrophe in the world. Xu Changqing also has his own plans in his heart, although Guan Zheng's cultivation is not particularly strong, but his heart is very upright, and his foundation is solid, and his face is even more Fuyuan's long appearance, which is very suitable as Xu Changqing's helper to cross the catastrophe together.

"Please also ask the master to give direct advice. Guan Zheng heard that there were other ways to cross the tribulation, and he couldn't help but ask urgently.

"At present, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, and the luck of people, families, countries, and heaven and earth has begun to be disordered. According to my estimate, when the period of the Great Tribulation begins, the luck of all people or things will become chaotic, and even if you use the Heavenly Skill of Pushing Fortune and Observing Qi, I am afraid that you can only look at its small luck, but not its great luck. Xu Changqing didn't hide it at all, and said his feelings these days: "At present, borrowing spiritual treasures and taking advantage of the terrain to increase qi luck is completely unfeasible for those of us who are not authentic cultivators, maybe the only way is to cut off the luck of qi and grab the glimmer of life that survives from the catastrophe of heaven and earth." ”

Guan Zheng is not a dull person, on the contrary, he has a high understanding, and when he heard Xu Changqing's words, he immediately comprehended it and said: "The master's meaning is to kill and cross the catastrophe." ”

"That's right! Brother Guan's understanding is extraordinary, and he can understand it at one point. Xu Changqing nodded approvingly, and then his face became indifferent, and said: "There are two advantages to killing the tribulation, killing the enemy first, you can have one less person who disturbs the luck of the great tribulation, if you destroy the enemy, it can make the time of the great tribulation come, the difference in the luck of heaven and earth will become less chaotic, so that the catastrophe can be followed." Secondly, the glimmer of life that can survive the catastrophe must be as narrow as the Shu Road, there are more monks and less porridge, and the porridge cannot be increased, and the only way is to reduce the number of monks who drink porridge. ”

Guan Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard it, and said: "Could it be that in the face of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, people must be like tigers and wolves to survive?"

"Alas!" Xu Changqing let out a long sigh, his expression was slightly tired, his body was paralyzed and leaned into the Western sand, and said: "Sometimes the more you know about the way of heaven, the more scared you are. In the face of the absolutely just Dao of Heaven and Earth, it is not only those people in the secular world who are pigs and dogs, but even those of us who have not yet attained the Dao are just a group of pigs and dogs who are slaughtered by others. As he spoke, his eyes burst into a burst of light, and the breath on his body became cold and ruthless, and he said: "The only chance that can allow us to survive the catastrophe is to become a wolf and a tiger, and get rid of the pigs and dogs who are slaughtered by others, otherwise there is only one way to die." Brother Guan must know that the avenue is ruthless!"

"Let me think again. Hearing Xu Changqing say his feelings in one breath, although Guan Zheng couldn't accept it for a while, he had already heard from Xu Changqing's words that he had mentioned to him, and he was extremely grateful in his heart, and he didn't want to see Xu Changqing feel sorry for his failure to make up his mind, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "I don't know what the relationship between the master and that Sheng Xuanhuai is? Judging from Guan Mou, an outsider, your relationship must be not shallow!"

Xu Changqing knew that Guan Zheng was also struggling a little bit now, and he was not ready to force him, so he followed his words and said: "Elder Sheng can be regarded as my teacher, he taught me the way of knowing people and being a person in the world. Although I had a little misunderstanding with him because of what happened back then, but now the misunderstanding has basically been resolved, but it is impossible to get closer to a strange relationship with just one or two sentences, even so, Sheng Lao is one of the few people I respect in my life. ”

"I've also heard the elders of the family mention that when our Guan family moved from the north to the south, this old man helped us many times, and I should go and thank you, but it's a bit of a stammer. Guan Zheng smiled awkwardly, then stared at Xu Changqing again, and asked with a strange expression: "Listening to the master's words just now, it seems that the master still knows the master of Liao Tianyi Pavilion back then, and he is very familiar with it." When he was dying, those bold words were really admirable. ”

"Yes, when he was invited by Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan, to return to Hunan to run a school, before the new policy, he once lived in my grass house for a few months, at that time I was also a young maniac, with the study of metaphysics and luck to argue with him to refute the general trend of the world, how fast it was at that time!" Xu Changqing closed his eyes and recalled some of the past events of the year, and his face couldn't help but show a smile full of nostalgia, but not long after, he sighed again and said: " Although I won every debate, I actually lost, just as he could not convince me, I could not convince him, even though I knew that he would die because of the change, I still could not change his fate. It was only then that I realized that the Fa could not compete with the Dao after all, and that in the end only the Dao existed in the world, and that the Fa would perish under the Dao. ”

Guan Zheng also seemed to feel Xu Changqing's heavy mood at the moment, and he lost interest in speaking, and sat quietly, looking at the rural scenery that kept flashing outside the car window, and the atmosphere in the carriage became dull for a while.

The train is not too fast, and when it arrives in Bazhou, it is already past noon, and the train needs to stop here for about an hour to refuel before it can go on the road. Although Bazhou is only a small county town, because of its proximity to Tianjin and Beiping, most of the merchants from the north and south will gather here to repair before entering Beijing, and then continue on the road, which makes Bazhou much more prosperous than other small counties. On the other hand, because of the influence of Cangzhou, there are also extremely many people who practice martial arts here, compared to Cangzhou, there are no concessions, there are many large and small martial arts halls, and the ring is open almost every day. Most people who practice martial arts want to make a name for themselves here, and if they are lucky enough to open a dart game in Tianjin and Beiping, build a martial arts hall or something, and if they are a little less lucky, they can also be a personal bodyguard next to these northern and southern businessmen, in short, as long as they are not killed in the ring, they will have a mouthful of live food to eat.

Since the train had to stop for an hour, the passengers in the No. 4 carriage felt that it was too boring to sit like this, and most of them would be invited in groups to walk around the boundaries of Bazhou. Most of the wealthy businessmen have a few bodyguards around them, many of them are from the ring in Bazhou, and they are naturally regarded as the head snakes here, and the master travels as a subordinate and naturally becomes a guide.

For a while, the carriage became a lot empty, and Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng were also ready to go out for a walk, because this place was too close to Beiping, and Xuangang Heavenly Demon must have laid eyeliner here, so that the two had to change their skins before getting off the train. Guan Zheng had already changed his clothes, but left the treasure chest and the talisman sword in the safe of the carriage. And Xu Changqing put the Maitreya robe into his sleeves, changed into a complete set of English-style long windbreakers, and put on a straight tweed coat on his body that was taller than ordinary people, and a slightly tight-fitting vest shirt completely showed his sturdy body, which made his temperament more heroic while being elegant, and the gold silk pocket watch hanging in the pocket of his jacket made him more luxurious Western. Before going out, I don't know where the foreigner supervisor in the carriage found an English wide-brimmed hat with false braids and handed it to Xu Changqing to put on, so as not to get into trouble because of the problem of braids.

After leaving the carriage, the two happened to meet Sheng Lao, who was about to board a carriage, Xu Changqing walked over and greeted: "Sheng Lao, aren't you going to Tianjin?"

Seeing Xu Changqing dressed in a decent Western dress, the old man did not answer Xu Changqing's words, but laughed at him and said: "I didn't expect Changqing to dress up like this, but you are more heroic than that green shirt. ”

"Old Sheng said and laughed!" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently and said: "The flamboyant civilization of the West is not suitable for me, and I am more accustomed to the Chinese way of dealing with the world. ”

You were the hardest working person to study Western studies with Father Matthews. The old man smiled and recalled the past, turned his head to look at Guan Zheng, and said with a smile: "You close the door!"

"Guan Zheng, a junior of the Guan family, has seen the old man Sheng, if it wasn't for ......" Hearing the old man's greeting, Guan Zheng saluted the old man with a slightly restrained movement, ready to thank him for his kindness that day.

The old man immediately stretched out his hand to hold it and reminded: "Don't move so much, this place is not far from the capital!" As he spoke, he patted Guan Zheng's shoulder and said, "Learn more from Changqing's side! Whether it is the Tao Law or the Law of Dealing with the World, there are not many people in the world who can compare with it, and it is much better than those people in your Guan family." ”

"The juniors know. Guan Zheng nodded.

After the cold noise, the old man said to Xu Changqing: "This time I went to Tianjin mainly for the matter of the Bank of Communications, and now that you have promised to help, the matter is naturally completed, and I just take this opportunity to go back to Beijing to deal with the things I promised you." Time is pressing, and if you return to Beijing as soon as possible, the more people you will help. ”

"That's just right," Xu Changqing didn't say anything, nodded, and hugged his fists and said, "Changqing is here to wish Sheng Lao a smooth journey." ”

"You have to be careful in everything!" the old man nodded, got into the carriage, gave an order, and quickly got on the official road, heading in the direction of the capital.
