Volume 25 [Tang Zai Huangzai] Knotting Reeds to Cultivate Moral Posture (Chapter 296)
looked at the indignant Xingyun, and shook his head: "Xiaoyou is still too young, just like when he saw me." ”
After a pause, the Kaiser continued: "Actually, what about those famous sects, I naturally know in my heart, there is no perfect thing in this world, people are like this, and the sect made of people is even more so, the right way is relatively speaking, there is no absolute justice in this world, absolute justice is not something that people can achieve, it is not human. ”
Speaking of this, the Kaiser looked at Xingyun and smiled: "Actually, Xiaoyou must know this, but he just doesn't want to admit it." ”
Xingyun listened and was silent.
The Kaiser continued: "Decades ago, like you, I was full of righteousness in my heart, and I also believed that there was a true righteous way, but the great faction could not do what I was satisfied with, but if I intervened, it would definitely give this river and lake a bright future, and my martial arts at that time, except for the Mandate of Heaven, had no opponents in the rivers and lakes at all, so I had to make up my mind to do a great job."
I did quite well back then, and when I was middle-aged, I got the title of the Kaiser, and I even gave myself the word Mingjian. ”
Speaking of this, the Kaiser smiled: "Knowing and seeing, boasting that I can see and see the good and evil in this world, but I overestimated myself, one person's strength is always extreme, and one person's eyes are limited.
Everyone in the world thinks that I have given the word "clear and wrong" for my disciple to distinguish between right and wrong, but in fact, it is not, the meaning of clear and wrong is to understand the truth of right and wrong, and it is rare to be worthy of your heart. ”
Xing Yunwan didn't expect the Kaiser to say such words to himself, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I don't have a deep friendship with him, why did he say these words to me?" ”
But putting aside the Kaiser's intentions, just talking about this truth, what the Kaiser said is actually good, and Xingyun also understands what this so-called righteous path is, but Xingyun has fallen into it at this time, and no matter how difficult it is to extricate himself, even if he understands, it is in vain.
"I'm implicated too much, even if I can see it clearly? That's why Liang Lao asked his subordinates not to enter this river and lake again, once they entered this river and lake, there was no way out, and I could only try my best to walk well. Xingyun's heart secretly thought: "Besides, even if your own strength is limited, you can do a good deed, it is better than not doing it!" ”
As for the Kaiser's self-deprecation, Xingyun listened as if he was talking about himself: "He is laughing at himself, but is that saying that I am even less capable of giving justice to the King Kong Gate?" ”
Thinking of this, Xingyun said: "Then according to the meaning of the seniors, even if the big faction really goes to help, there may not be any results?" ”
Xingyun said this, and felt a little ridiculous in his heart, the Kaiser, who was admired by everyone on the rivers and lakes, actually commented on the righteous path of good and evil now, and his insistence on this justice was not as good as his apprentice Mr. Ming Fei, if it weren't for the emperor to bind the mandate of heaven for sixty years, he would have left at this time.
The Kaiser looked at Xingyun and smiled: "It depends on Xiaoyou's definition of this result, or whether he is stuck in this case." ”
Xingyun frowned: "The case of the King Kong Gate is to find out the real culprit behind the destruction of the King Kong Gate, and to give justice to the two hundred lives, what is the insistence?" ”
The Kaiser smiled: "Everything will not be independent, in this rivers and lakes, everything will be implicated in each other, just like the case of King Kong Gate, if it is found out that it was done by Diancang or Wudang, how should Xiaoyou do it?" But have you ever thought about what kind of impact that will have on the rivers and lakes? ”
Xingyun snorted when he heard this: "No matter who does it, I will let them get the punishment they deserve!" ”
The Kaiser did not laugh at Xingyun's words, but asked: "Then have you ever thought that once everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that this King Kong Gate case was done by Diancang or other big factions, what impact will it have on the rivers and lakes?" ”
Xingyun didn't know why the Kaiser cared so much about this issue, and he was very dissatisfied at the moment: "Impact? Since he dared to destroy other people's full doors, he had someone to punish him, and it was justified, what impact would this have? ”
The Kaiser shook his head and replied, "The result is that the people in the rivers and lakes no longer believe in the nine major sects."
Regardless of whether this matter was done by the big factions or not, it was obviously a very bad influence early on, if it was really done by those big factions, I am afraid that the reputation of the nine major sects would be dealt a big blow, and it is unimaginable that the rivers and lakes will be the real chaos at that time. ”
Xingyun didn't expect the Kaiser to say such a thing, and immediately refuted: "If it is done by that big faction, it is they who destroy their reputation!" Do you still want to cover them up? ”
Seeing that Xingyun was already angry, the Kaiser smiled at the moment: "Little friend, listen to me."
Naturally, these nine major sects are not all doing the right thing, but they are bound by the name of this righteous path, and they will not be so blatantly evil to do evil things, which is rare, but once the people in the rivers and lakes no longer believe in them, without the name of this righteous path, I am afraid that the result will be unfavorable to the rivers and lakes.
Once the Nine Great Sects no longer care about their own face and reputation, with their strength, this Jianghu will immediately return to the troubled times! Could it be that Xiaoyou wants to see this ending?
A King Kong Gate that has been destroyed or the entire rivers and lakes, which is more important? ”
"Which is more important? If you always take care of these big faces, aren't you afraid that they will be even more unscrupulous? can't even repay the justice of a King Kong Gate, how can you give justice to this Jianghu? Is there still justice in this Jianghu? Xingyun listened to the words of the emperor, and stood up angrily, he witnessed the tragic scene of the destruction of the King Kong Gate, and then thought of Zhu Ge who disregarded his own life for the sake of the reputation of the master, how could Xingyun calm down?
When the Kaiser heard this, he also stood up,
grew up even more, his eyes were full of determination, and he said: "This Jianghu is not needed."
Xingyun was stunned at the moment, and his heart was dark: "This person is really the emperor?" Could it be that Mr. Ming Fei is lying to me? How could the Kaiser say such a thing? ”
The Kaiser may really rarely talk to outsiders, but at this time he showed great patience: "Xiaoyou just asked me if I knew who provoked the Mandate of Heaven, and I naturally knew this, and because of this, after the battle with the Mandate of Heaven, I lost confidence in this great sect and made an agreement with the Mandate of Heaven, just for the sake of this martial arts, after all, the Mandate of Heaven is more harmful."
Since then, I have never entered this river and lake, and the battle with Yan Zhi is also the hand of destiny. ”
"Yan Zhi? Could it be the name of the master of the Ethereal Heavenly Palace? Xingyun's heart was dark.
The Kaiser continued: "In the past few decades, although I have not stepped on the rivers and lakes again, I have not been blinded by my ears and eyes, and after the first few years of depression, I often wondered, what do the rivers and lakes need? The rivers and lakes are made of people, and some people have disputes between good and evil, which has been the case for thousands of years, but it is really beyond human power to change. It is precisely because of this that no one can really maintain the fairness of this Jianghu, the Nine Great Sects cannot, and I can't.
So what exactly does this river and lake need? What is human-powered? ”
The emperor's words made Xingyun ponder, although there was some truth in what he said, but Xingyun was dissatisfied when he thought that he said that this river and lake did not need justice, and immediately asked: "Then the predecessor said, what do these rivers and lakes need?" ”
When the Kaiser saw that Yun asked, he immediately smiled, sat back, and said two words: "Order!" ”
"Order!"
Xingyun pondered these two words in his heart, and his brows couldn't help frowning, the scope of the order was too broad, and Xingyun didn't know what the emperor meant.
The Kaiser said: "Order is the foundation, and the foundation for maintaining this world from chaos is the foundation, without which there can be no justice or righteousness." For two hundred years, the rivers and lakes have maintained a minimum order because of the Songshan Alliance, so there has been no major turmoil. As long as there is order, we can further demand more and fairness in the rivers and lakes.
The backbone of the rivers and lakes is those famous factions, and the strength of the rest of the sects is too weak, without the support of these factions, the rivers and lakes can only be more chaotic, without these factions, the rivers and lakes are chaotic.
Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, this King Kong Gate matter has to be investigated, and the result is really a big faction involved, so stop it immediately, compared with the entire rivers and lakes, although the King Kong Gate experience is sympathetic, but it is too light. ”
Xingyun couldn't help it anymore, and stood up and said, "What big faction has maintained order!" Now in the rivers and lakes, the major factions are ready to move! They are the cause of this chaos! Now it is they who are destroying this order! ”
When the Kaiser heard this, he said: "Xiaoyou is right, this chaos in the rivers and lakes is indeed caused by the big factions, and after two hundred years of dormancy, no one who has the strength of those big factions will be willing to be lonely." ”
"How can you think that? What kind of Kaiser is it? Xingyun couldn't help blurting out.
The Kaiser did not get angry, but laughed: "What is virtue? Righteous behavior is virtuous, punishing evil and promoting good is naturally virtue, but how many evil things can one person punish? Who can guarantee that he will always be right? Won't the good guys be in vain? Even if he doesn't do anything wrong in his life, this is just a small virtue, just a favor from one or two people.
One person's virtue is always not as big as the big one, in troubled times, such people are not uncommon, but he saved one person and one faction, but he can save this rivers and lakes? Even if he saves this river and lake for a while, can he guarantee a long time?
I only admire one person in my life, that is the person who made the Songshan Alliance 200 years ago, and his paper covenant made the rivers and lakes safe for more than 200 years, which is the great virtue.
Let the rivers and lakes continue to be maintained, not to be chaotic, to regulate an order, those big factions have endured for two hundred years, always let them have a gain, it seems that this rivers and lakes are quite chaotic, but it dredges their energy, good and evil are always within the limit, not a chaotic world, this is the great virtue. ”
Xingyun's heart palpitated when he listened, and he darkened: "Regulate an order? Do you want them to get something? Could it be that the Songshan realliance that plotted the interests of the provinces was from the hands of the Kaiser? Xingyun couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, Xingyun suddenly said when he heard the moment in his body: "Boy, you immediately resign from him and see if you can still go." ”
Xingyun was about to refute it, but was interrupted by the words of the moment, and secretly said: "What does the moment seniors mean?" ”
didn't have time to think about it, Xingyun hugged his fist and said: "The younger generation is here, since he has already narrated all the things about the King Kong Gate, there is no need to linger, so I will leave!" ”
Xingyun got the words for a moment, and he gradually felt uneasy, so after saying it at the moment, he turned around and was about to leave.
As soon as I took a step, I felt that the surrounding area was suddenly suffocated! The air seemed to condense itself! It's hard to move!
Xingyun was shocked!
I heard the Kaiser say behind his back: "Just now, the old man said, there are two things to find a little friend, the first thing is about the King Kong Gate, and the second thing is to invite a friend to stay here for a few days." ”
"What does he mean?" Xingyun was taken aback: "Didn't he promise me that I could come and go freely?" ”
