Volume 6 Suddenly, Chapter 18: The Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain Kill the Idlers (Part I)
For thousands of years, those great cultivators who have crossed the threshold of the five realms have been able to call the wind and rain, shake the heavens and shake the earth, and overlook the common people, and the spiritual world will naturally gradually move away from the earthly world and go towards the inhuman realm.
This is a very easy to understand truth, the master did not avoid this mental journey back then, and later he and Ning Que changed this matter, and the method he used to find his heart was very incredible.
Senior Brother is the fastest person in the world, but he is called Li slowly, because he is very slow in everything he does, even the adolescence and the confusion period after becoming a great cultivator, he comes much slower than others, but no matter how slow he comes, he will eventually come, he has thought about this problem, and has his own opinions, or choices-at this time, he said that the drunkard is not human, not to praise the other party's subtle realm, but to make a subtle accusation.
The fact that a person as gentle as him would accuse the other party shows that no matter how calm he seems at this time, he is actually extremely angry.
- He was angry that drunkards were killing people, killing sages, killing sages for no reason, and probably killing more, which was something that he could hardly understand and even more to accept.
Yokogi mocked, "It's really hypocritical. ”
The so-called cultivation, whether it is born in the world, whether it is to become an immortal or nirvana, the qualitative cultivation is contrary to ordinary people, he said before that the academy is hypocritical, at this time, listening to the senior brother say that everyone has a heart that cannot bear others, and insists on putting himself in the category of ordinary people, he can't help but ridicule again.
The senior brother recalled the past few conversations in the back mountain of the academy, and said: "The second junior brother and the junior brother have criticized me in the past, the junior brother said more obscurely, Jun Mo is very direct, although the third junior sister has never commented, but I know that she has always looked down on my way of acting over the years...... Hypocrisy indeed...... Since I can kill. If I don't kill, I will pass the responsibility that belongs to me to others, and ...... You can always find someone who should be killed. ”
He gradually calmed down, looked at the drunkard and said, "The water is turbid, washing clothes and feet, it is all feasible, Surabaya is already red, I can't always walk by the water." without getting your shoes wet. ”
This calm word concealed a certain determination, and for the Daomen, it indicated some great danger, and Long Qing, who had been listening silently, squinted slightly. His expression grew.
"Even if you start killing people now, it's useless. ”
The drunkard's expression was very indifferent, and he said: "Haotian loves the world, I am not Haotian, you love the world, I am not you, I kill people, you will suffer." If you kill someone, what can you do to me?"
The senior brother asked, "Is there no person or thing in this world that you care about?"
"I have lived for countless years, my family and friends have died, and my old friends have been gone. Now I am old, sick and lonely, and I have nothing to love or hate in the world, how can you kill me. And how can I be moved?"
The drunkard's expression was indifferent, but there were endless vicissitudes between his words. Silence the other three.
At this time, a light rain fell, the rain cleaned the dust on the ground, softened the willow leaves on the riverside, wet the hair, and brought a bleak autumn mood to the world.
In the autumn rain, the senior brother looked at the drunkard and said, "So I'm bound to lose?"
The drunkard said, "There is love, so there is fear, and you can't help but lose." ”
Long Qing and Hengmu left the imperial city in the rain, and with two thousand Xiling Temple guardian cavalry, they marched in the direction of Daze and the Song Kingdom, and in the misty smoke and rain, tens of millions of people will die.
The autumn rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the senior brother is standing in front of Liu Yiqing with his head bowed, standing in front of Liu Yiqing's body, the rain wets his hair, and he hangs in front of his forehead, looking a little desolate.
......
......
The world is flat, but the rain cannot be completely even, otherwise there will be no floods in the world, but this autumn's rain is very strange to cover most of the mountains, rivers and towns, fortunately, the rain is not big, dripping, not in a hurry, not like the year when the master ascended to the sky, it is terrifying, more like the spring rain wetting people's hearts.
It was also raining in Chuzhou, the eaves of the pavilion on the east mountain were wet, people's clothes were also wet, the two old servants knelt in front of the body of the Taishou and wept bitterly, and the officials and gentry who rushed from the city in the early morning were pale and speechless in shock, and no one noticed what a man who looked like a master did on the pavilion pillar.
Although the scenery of Dongshan is good, but the terrain is too high, tourists are rare, no one has understood, the Taishou, who is known for his honesty and love for the people, why should he spend money on the people to build such a pavilion on the peak at the moment when the national situation is severe, no one knows, this pavilion that brings extremely rare negative comments to Taishou is actually a teleportation array, which can transmit some important information to Chang'an City.
Such a teleportation array, the cost is huge, even with the rich resources of the Tang Dynasty, can only build a few, Helan City, Tuyang City each, Chuzhou because of the direct face of the Yan and Song Dynasty, the strategic location is becoming more and more important, so the imperial court will spend a lot of money, by the Taishou to come forward, with a notoriety to preside over the construction of this pavilion.
The man who walked into the Dongshan Pavilion was the chief of staff of the Taishou in the eyes of the officials and people of Chuzhou, in fact, he was the secret guard directly under the palace, and what he had to do was to activate the pavilion.
Dongshan Pavilion sent back the first piece of information to Chang'an City, it was not the invasion of Yan and Song, nor the collapse of the river embankment, but the death of the person who built this pavilion...... He's dead.
......
......
Chang'an City is also raining, the rain is flowing down the bright yellow palace eaves, the autumn chrysanthemum in the imperial garden in response to the season, is washed more and more delicate and bright, the astragalus is stacked, and it is extremely pleasing to the eye.
In the imperial study, Li Yu looked at the news of Taishou's death that had just come from the small building, and was silent for a long time, looking at Qiu Ju outside the window, and was silent for a long time.
Zeng Jing looked at her slightly pale side face, forcibly suppressed the shock and anger in her heart, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The imperial court must respond, otherwise...... It's going to be a mess. ”
An empire, an imperial court, a territory, what maintains these terms can be spirit or courage or historical inheritance, but what really matters is the management organization, in other words, the officials at all levels, no matter how perfect the system is, it also needs to be dealt with by people.
When officials could die at any time, when officials found themselves dying at any time, the system that governed the empire would be crumbling and would irreversibly collapse.
Chuzhou Taishou is dead, and the court must respond, or find and kill the murderer. Either hide the truth, or let the enemy stop, and since the truth cannot be hidden, there are only two options left.
There are only two or three people in the world who can go deep into the border, ignore the Tianshu Office and the Academy, and kill the Taishou of Chuzhou quietly - no matter who it is, it is not something that the Tang Dynasty can deal with. Even if the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world - because those people are beyond the realm of the world.
Li Yu knew this very well, looked at Huang Ju who was wet by the rain outside the window, and said, "Let the academy deal with it...... Kill that person, or find a way to get that person to stop...... However, Ning Que. You still have to kill that person in the end, otherwise how can Mr. Ouyang be blind?"
......
......
When Ning Que knew that Taishou was dead, he was eating noodles on the city wall, and in the past dozens of days, because he had to look down on the world and wait for the opportunity, his diet and daily life were on the city wall.
He didn't know the Ouyang Taishou in Chuzhou, he had only heard of the other party's virtuous name. A little sentimental, then silent, last night with an iron bow aimed at Linkang, waiting for the moment when the drunkard appeared. He knew that if he and his senior brother's plan did not succeed, he would inevitably usher in a counterattack from the drunkards, but he didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly.
Drunkards and butchers are special beings in the history of spiritual practice, accompanied by the years. The realm is unfathomable, and it has long been otherworldly. If possible, the academy roots didn't want to be hostile to them, but now that they had surrendered to Haotian, they had become the enemies that the academy wanted to kill the most.
Since a long time ago, the academy has been preparing to deal with the drunkard and the butcher, but it has never thought of a practical way, and the arrangements made in advance are also full of unsettling determination, so Ning Que did not stop slandering the teacher for not killing the drunkard and the butcher before leaving the world, which was extremely irresponsible, and did not give up looking for an opportunity to shoot the two strong men into fools directly from a distance.
It's a pity that he missed this opportunity, so he is very likely to become a fool now, if he knows that this is because of Long Qing's action, or he will have more sense of cause and effect.
"I'm going down. Ning Que said.
There are dozens of Tang soldiers who have been on the city wall to take care of his diet and daily life, and those who are busy in the makeshift kitchen are all imperial chefs in the palace, and people know that he has never left the city wall these days, and they are very surprised to hear him say that he wants to leave.
It's not about traveling, it's about leaving.
Ning Que walked down the city wall and walked on the bluestone ground that had been moistened dark by the autumn rain.
In autumn, the leaves on both sides of Suzaku Avenue are quickly dyed red and yellow, and after the rain in the early morning, countless leaves leave the tips and fall, piling up like colorful waves on the street, and the depths are almost knee-deep.
In a short period of time, the drunkards will not be given another chance, and the powerhouses of the Xiling Temple will also become very cautious, and they will not dare to enter Chang'an, so it will not make much sense for him to guard the city wall again.
Now the problem he had to solve was how to make the drunkards stop killing people - if the drunkards continued to kill, the Tang Kingdom would be overthrown before the armies of the Xiling Temple and the Golden Horde Kingdom attacked.
The drunkard did not do this before, because he was afraid of the academy, because the master's power still existed, and because although he longed for the kingdom of God, he did not want to destroy the world.
Now that he's starting to go berserk, how should the academy respond?
If the master and the little uncle are still alive, then the matter is naturally simple, slaughter the fight with a stick or a sword, and then slaughter the butcher by the way, unfortunately they are no longer there.
It is difficult for the senior brother to stop the drunkard, because he is not that kind of person, and the second senior brother is not good either, these two people will only go and fight with the drunkard, just like they did in the Hanging Temple before.
When he didn't need to work hard, Ning Que looked down on this method, because he always thought that his own life and the lives of the senior brothers and sisters of the academy were always more important than the lives of others, whether you were a drunkard or a butcher, the first seat or the master, you were not qualified to change our lives, so he very much disagreed with Chao Xiaoshu's arrangement, and he didn't think about what the two senior brothers would do.
What would the Third Senior Sister do if he was in Chang'an? What would he do if Liansheng was still alive? Ning Que walked among the yellow and red fallen leaves, inhaling the fresh air in the autumn rain, and his mind became very clear, knowing what he should do.
......
