Out of the small courtyard, walked along the bluestone paved path for less than twenty zhang, Su Qin, who had been thinking about his thoughts, suddenly paused, looked at the familiar corridor in front of him, his eyes swept over several forks, and soon a wry smile appeared on Su Qin's face - just now Su Qin walked all the way, he didn't pay attention to where he went, and now the road under his feet is the only way to the lobby of the front yard of the Lu Mansion, and yesterday Su Qin just walked under the leadership of Steward Qi...... Lu Zhenyu wants to see himself, is it the front yard hall or the backyard residence? Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but look back at the road, and there was still Zhao Sanhan's shadow behind him?

Without Zhao Sanhan to lead the way, Su Qin suddenly looked like a lost child, looking at the trail in front of him and not knowing how to get his feet. After thinking for a while, looking at the quiet surroundings, Su Qin took another step, the place he was going to now was the lobby of the Lu Mansion, in Su Qin's opinion, even if he couldn't find Lu Zhenyu in the lobby, he could find the place where he saw Wang Ruhua yesterday with his memory-the 'Heavenly Princess's Beauty' Divine Stone was there, and the Divine Stone contained the secret buried by Su Qin.

Now that he has become the target of public criticism, Su Qin knows that the wood spirit bead and the jade necklace cannot be left on him, otherwise he is afraid that he will invite disaster, as for putting them in the divine stone, it is only an expedient measure rather than a long-term solution, if he goes to Lu Zhenyu this time, Lu Zhenyu has no ill will towards himself and is not a pawn used by Lu Tianxing to spy on himself- Su Qin, who was thinking about it while walking, quickly made a decision, he decided to put the wood spirit bead and necklace in the divine stone temporarily, because even if he was not safe in the Lu Mansion, no one should touch the divine stone in the Lu Mansion.

But Su Qin is still not at ease, Lu Zhenyu is a big player in appreciating stones, Su Qin is afraid that he will leave some flaws in his anxiety, if Lu Zhenyu discovers the secrets in the divine stone...... Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Su Qin, who was walking around the Lu Mansion with his memory, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the grass hut in front of him, he knew that after these grass huts, he would come to the hall after walking dozens of zhang, but when Su Qin was about to walk along the path between the grass huts, a figure appeared in front of Su Qin.

Alone.

A man in a black robe.

A man in a black robe with a hoe in his hand.

A man in a black robe with a hoe in his hand was looking up at Su Qin.

An old man in a black robe with a hoe in his hand was looking up at Su Qin, frowning slightly.

The black-robed old man was half-hunched, and it seemed that he had been there all along, only to be seen by Su Qin, who suddenly turned a corner.

The wrinkles on the old man's face were very deep, because he heard the sound of Su Qin walking, he turned his head to look at Su Qin's side and squinted, as if he wanted to see who had come here.

When the old man in the black robe was looking at Su Qin, Su Qin was also looking at the old man - the old man was wearing a black robe with dirt, he didn't know how long he hadn't washed it, there was a little mud on it, and the black robe made of it was a little cold in the sun's rays.

Black dazzling.

Looking at the old man's original hoeing posture, Su Qin hesitated for a moment and walked forward.

The old man watched Su Qin come step by step, and did not dodge, just when Su Qin came to him less than three feet in front of him, the old man turned his head, and then he continued to hoe the grass on the ground with a hoe in his hand, and the grass that had just sprouted sprouts was quickly uprooted under his not-sharp hoe.

Looking at the old man who was bending over to hoe the grass, Su Qin quickened his pace, and just when he came to the old man and could cross the old man in two or three steps, the old man suddenly straightened up.

Although the old man is old, he is not short in height.

Looking at the old man who straightened up, Su Qin paused, and then said sorry to disturb him.

Hearing Su Qin's words, the old man didn't answer, just raised his head to look at the sun, then looked down at Su Qin, and finally the old man's gaze fell on Su Qin's feet, "You're bothering them." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Su Qin was a little confused, and following the old man's gaze, Su Qin looked at his feet--under Su Qin's feet, there were several unnamed weeds that were trampled to the ground by Su Qin.

Su Qin, who took a step back, showed a puzzled expression on his face, he really couldn't think of the deep meaning in this old man's words.

Because of the rain just last night, the ground was still a little muddy, and the grass that Su Qin had stepped on under his feet was stuck in the soil, forming several mud pits of different depths on the ground.

His eyes stayed on the grass for a moment, Su Qin looked at the old man again, and asked in a slightly hesitant voice, "Could it be that these little grasses are ......" Speaking of this, Su Qin paused, "Are they very precious flowers and plants?"

The reason why Su Qin asked this was because Zhao Sanhan told him that this was the precious flowers and plants that Lu Zhenyu had spent countless efforts to find from all over the mainland, and Zhao Sanhan also said that ordinary people here could not come over, and when he saw that the old man said that he was disturbing these flowers and plants, the first thought that came to Su Qin's heart was that these flowers and plants also had a background?

"What's the difference between the grass you just stepped on and these?" Hearing Su Qin's words, the old man suddenly smiled, but his smile looked a little more vicissitudes and indescribable.

"There is no difference. Following the old man's gaze, Su Qin looked at the weeds hoeed by the old man, and then looked at the grass that was trampled on the soil by himself, and couldn't help but say embarrassedly - the authorities are fascinated, if Su Qin observes carefully enough, he will find that although the weeds he stepped on and the weeds that the old man is hoeing are not exactly the same, he knows that they belong to the same type of plant by looking at the shape of the branches and leaves.

"There is a difference. The old man said as he turned over the weeds that had just been uprooted with the hoe in his hand, "These weeds are going to die, and the ones under your feet are still alive." ”

"What the seniors said makes sense. Hearing the old man's words, Su Qin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and a thought flashed from Su Qin's mind, which made Su Qin, who had not caught what he had thought of, a little distressed.

"Do you really understand the truth?" Hearing Su Qin's words, the old man stared at Su Qin's eyes and asked, seeing Su Qin frowning, the old man continued, "The Buddha said that one flower, one grass and one world, this is right and wrong in my opinion. Speaking of this, the old man reached out and uprooted the weeds that Su Qin had stepped on the ground with his hoe, "You see, they will soon wither and turn into dirt under the sun's exposure, and that's because their world is dominated by others. ”

Watching the old man knock off the soil on the roots of the weeds with a hoe, listening to the old man's words, Su Qin felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have become strange, this weirdness had a little unknowable mystery, did the old man want to say something to himself?

Su Qin, who faintly felt that something was wrong, secretly raised his vigilance, and when he looked at the old man again, his eyes were a little more vigilant.

This was the second time Su Qin had seen the old man, he didn't know anything about the old man, and why did the old man leave himself to say this? Just when this thought just popped up in Su Qin's heart, the old man's words quickly solved the mystery in Su Qin's heart.

"Actually, you're like these little grasses now. The old man didn't look at Su Qin, but just looked at the weeds under his feet, and when he said this, a breeze blew through his long gray hair, so that Su Qin felt that the old man was talking nonsense.

But listening to the old man's words, Su Qin knew that the old man was not untargeted.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?" After silently reciting what the old man said, Su Qin arched his hand and said, he was finally sure that the old man was not looking for someone to talk to because of his age, but he did have something to say to himself.

"Sometimes, like these weeds, life and death are just a matter of someone's thoughts. Seeing Su Qin ask what he meant by his words, the old man suddenly said seriously.

Hearing the old man's words, Su Qin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Bai Haoran who he met in Gongsun's ancient mansion last night, and couldn't help but nodded, compared to Bai Haoran, isn't he like these little grasses, he can be trampled under the feet of others, and life and death are just things that others do.

"Then how can you not let people slaughter at will?" Su Qin looked at the old man, and felt more and more that the old man was unfathomable, but Su Qin was not sure what the origin of this old man was, so he spoke very little-in Su Qin's opinion, since this old man was in the Lu Mansion, he was afraid that he was inextricably linked with Lu Zhenyu in some way, so at this moment, Su Qin did not relax his vigilance against the old man, and spoke more and more carefully.

"If it's a grass, you have the ambition to grow into a big tree, and if it's a stone, you have to dream of becoming a mountain. The old man found something in Su Qin's eyes, but he didn't take it to heart, but said indifferently, when he said this, he turned around and turned his entire back to Su Qin, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, the old man muttered a little, "If you are a cultivator, you can only control your own destiny if you become stronger." ”

"Can fate really be held in your own hands?" Hearing the old man talk about fate, Su Qin asked rhetorically.

"Can those cultivators really be invincible in the world?" The old man with his back to Su Qin did not answer Su Qin's question, but only asked Su Qin lightly.

"Some people are very strong, so strong that killing a master is just a matter of raising your hand. Thinking of Bai Haoran, Su Qin pondered for a while and said,

"No matter how strong he is, he is still human, and only a human being. The old man turned to look at Su Qin as he spoke, "If cultivators can be invincible in the world, then why don't they choose to live in seclusion instead of being emperors? It's not because they know that when a person is strong and exhausted, in the face of thousands of soldiers, even if he can kill a thousand and kill ten thousand soldiers? As long as he stops and dies once, there will be nothing." ”

"Senior, you...... Who the hell is it? Why are you telling me this?" Reflecting on the old man's words in his mind, Su Qin asked with three points of relief and seven points of doubt on his face.

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I have no ill will towards you. The old man said and looked at Su Qin and smiled, "We have a common enemy and the same goal, this is what I want to tell you, and one more thing, you have to remember that if you want to dominate the world, you must have your own army, because you alone can never defeat tens of millions of people." ”

"Because only when you have an army can you conquer the country, take revenge, and ...... Not so easy to die. ”

"All this...... How easy is it?" After listening to the old man's words, Su Qin was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and said.

"Don't be afraid, and don't worry about anything. The old man said and looked at Su Qin for a moment, "Because of me." ”
