That's right, of course, the Tianhe ghost has grievances.

This is normal, he is not a monk who is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and ignores fame and fortune, and is not a saint who regards all the people as dogs without sorrow and joy.

But so what? There are too many people in the world who are resentful, and after so many years in the rivers and lakes, he is even a little used to this kind of resentment. And now that he is under the account of Lord Zhou Mu, he can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, and a lot of headaches and stuffiness accumulated in his chest have also exuded a lot, and the mood is just a happy time, so the expression and face of Tianhe Ghost are only slightly gloomy in the memory, and he immediately looked at Xiong Guoguang opposite and smiled: "But people in the rivers and lakes, where can there be no resentment, if Counselor Xiong wants to use these words to provoke me, it is too underestimated." I'm not one of those fledgling stunned youths, and I can't help myself when I hear a few words. ”

"Where, where, Brother Tianhe, you misunderstood. Xiong Guoguang shook his head unmoved, as if he was not surprised by the reaction of the Tianhe ghost. "I'm guessing you must have a grudge. And you can endure this resentment for so many years, and this kind of heart is certainly not something that can be broken by a few words from me. Most importantly, I don't mean to provoke you by this. I just want to ask you further, since you have grievances, have you ever wondered what is the root cause of such a humiliating situation, why do you have so much talent and so much so that you can only be depressed? Why do those villains be like fish in water?"

Tianhe Ghost frowned, of course he had thought about this question, and he had thought about it many times. He didn't bother to think about it later, because no matter how much he thought about it, it was like that. He replied in a deep voice, "This is the way of the world. ”

"Nope. That's not the answer. You just answer that way because you don't understand it, you can't see through it. Xiong Guoguang smiled slightly. Although the face is still very pale and poor. But this smile gave the Tianhe ghost a feeling of great power. "Let's just start talking little by little. Brother Tianhe, think about it carefully, why even though you are extraordinary, those famous and decent families in the past have never been willing to recruit you generously, even if they are secretly invited, some small gangs and small factions invite you to do things, you have to hide it, and you are not willing to do your best in terms of remuneration?"

Tianhe Ghost snorted coldly: "You have inquired in detail. ”

"It's just a little thing. As I said, I'm curious about Brother Tianhe, who can strike such a punch. Xiong Guoguang smiled and pointed to his empty shoulder, as if it was something else that had nothing to do with him at all. "The reason for this. Brother Tianhe must have understood?"

"The reputation of the teacher killer is too stinky. The Tianhe ghost replied coldly. Naturally, he knew this for a long time. Their five brothers have always had a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes because of their traitorous actions, if it weren't for the hard work in their hands, I am afraid that they would have been slaughtered by many righteous heroes and changed their reputations.

"Deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is a great rebellion. Ordinary Jianghu forces are afraid of reputation, of course, they dare not solicit you and have anything to do with you. But I want to ask Brother Tianhe, you did a wrong thing in killing the teacher and betraying the family. Have you ever regretted it?"

"Of course not!" the horizontal flesh on Tianhe's ghost face pulled out a hard and hideous expression. "Old Ghost Jiao nominally took us orphans as apprentices, but in essence, he treated us like slaves and servants, and never gave us half a good face. Since we were children, we were originally eleven brothers and sisters to learn art together, and the slightest disobedience was beaten and punished. After he succeeded in cultivation, he was instructed to do some unsightly and dangerous dirty things for him, but on the bright side, he pretended to be a decent man and a gentleman, and gained fame and fortune. So for more than ten years. Only five of our eleven brothers died. We also accidentally learned that the internal strength that he had been letting us cultivate was actually a mystery. As long as we have cultivated to the fullest, we can instill in him and his precious son in secret methods! He is raising us as animals! When we are fattened, we will be killed and eat meat! We will not arrange any means to work together to kill his family. Sooner or later, it's just a few of us who will die!"

"Of course you did nothing wrong. As long as they are not stupid as pigs, people with a little blood know to resist. Xiong Guoguang nodded. "However, no one else will delve into this matter, or even if they understand the inside story, at least they will not dare to lie to you on the surface, because after all, you are a murderer. Ordinary people don't delve into the truth, they only know to judge by the 'label' on the person's head, and even those who understand it in their hearts have to follow these majorities. ”

The Tianhe ghost snorted and nodded. And so it is. Most of the people on the rivers and lakes don't know the inside story, and even if they do, they won't pay attention to it, because the name of 'killer' has always been on their heads.

"Why do you think they are like this?" Xiong Guoguang asked.

The Tianhe ghost was stunned. It is normal for people to cherish their reputation and scruple about the words behind their backs, and it is the same as people who love meat, even if some people don't love it, but they really can't find any reason for those who love it, so he has to answer: "How do I know?"

"Okay. Xiong Guoguang smiled slightly. "Then talk about yourselves. In fact, this is not a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and there are ways to have a bad reputation if you have a bad reputation. With the kung fu of the five of your brothers, it is not difficult to find a remote place to occupy the mountains as the king, gather the mountains and forests, dominate one side, or be a lone thief, or sincerely take refuge in which great family sect, and do something disgraceful for them, they can't accept you on the surface, but in private they can still give a very preferential price to the competent and useful talents."

"We are just seen as scum of the charlatans, not real scum of the charlatans. The Tianhe ghost snorted coldly.

"Why are those who do that the scum of the rivers and lakes?" Xiong Guoguang asked.

"Could it still be a good person?" Tianhe Ghost thought this question was really funny.

"What does Brother He think is a good person and what is a scum that day?" Xiong Guoguang asked again.

"Those who do good deeds are good people, and those who are filthy and unscrupulous are scum. The Tianhe ghost glared. "Could it be that you came to me to talk this nonsense?"

"Certainly not nonsense. Xiong Guoguang's tone was still tepid, not salty, not light, and weak. "It's just that Brother Tianhe, didn't you notice? The scruples of those who look down on you and reject you are the same. It's all because of the false name and righteousness of some people who ignore the facts. They only reject and look down on you because of the name of 'deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors', but you are only tying yourself up because of the names of 'scum in the rivers and lakes', 'good people' and 'bad people'. What if the mountains and forests are kings? As long as they do not oppress the poor for no reason. It is appropriate to pass by business travelers to obtain wealth, rob the rich and help the poor, and advance and retreat to a certain extent, which may not be able to ensure the safety of one party and be admired. What about doing something shady for a sectarian family? Someone will do it after all. As long as you have a good heart, if you can not kill, you will not kill those who can kill less, and you will kill less, at least it is better than those who are ruthless to women and children. ”

Tianhe Ghost was stunned, he didn't expect this Xiong Guoguang to say such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that there was indeed some truth in what he said.

"Brother Tianhe has not seen the play. Xiong Guoguang asked again.

"Watching a play?" Tianhe Ghost simply couldn't keep up with the jump and turn of this question.

"When watching the play, the village husbands and fools and unenlightened children often ask: whether this person is good or bad. If others don't sue them. They will feel confused, and they will feel that the play is simply inexplicable. This is magnified, and it is the same as if you were bound by those false names and morals.

In this world, nine out of ten people are mediocre, eating and waiting for death, neither capable of breaking through the constraints and oppression of the surrounding environment, nor have the courage and wisdom to open their eyes to the wider world and reality, they need others to tell them what is good, what is bad, and what is how, if there is no such false name and morality to help them explain the situation around them. How dare they live in this boundless, incomprehensible and unpredictable world? Just like pigs who have lived in a pigsty since childhood, the surrounding fence gives them not restraint, but a sense of security. ”

"Is there good, bad, good or evil? Of course there is. Even beasts know gratitude and loyalty, but that is a conscience that comes from the heart of oneself, if it is only learned from others. That's just a fence on a pigsty. The Confucianism of the previous dynasty was actually completely different from what Confucius taught. What kind of etiquette and morality are the fences and fences arranged by the princes and teachers of heaven and earth for the pigs, cattle and sheep all over the world, so that they feel that this world is originally like this. They have seen the edge of the heavens and the earth and can live in them with peace of mind. ”

"Why can a person like Hu Gang Master mix like a fish in water? It is because he is not bound by any fence, just like the mouse, he drills wherever there are gaps that can be drilled, and he can bite out one without gaps, compared to those pigs who are trapped in it and do not know it, he naturally eats his brain and lives a chic and comfortable life. ”

"But Brother Tianhe, you're not a pig. The person who can strike this punch is never a pig, not by nature. Xiong Guoguang smiled and pointed to his empty shoulders, and there was a bit of appreciation on his weak face, as if he was really happy about a friend's merits. "This is a beast that should have rushed out of the fence and galloped freely, but because it has been living among the pigs, it thinks that the world is like this, just like those pigs. But how can this pigsty make a beast really feel at ease and comfortable?"

"And these are the origin of your grievances, Brother Tianhe, and your resentment. Xiong Guoguang took a glass of light wine and drank it, moistened his slightly dry throat, and also made a summary of this truth, and then quietly looked at the Tianhe ghost. "Brother Tianhe, did you say yes?"

The Tianhe Ghost was silent, the light in his eyes flickered, the muscles and hideous muscles on his face seemed to tremble slightly, and he snorted coldly after a while: "It is worthy of being a demon sect, and he is really good at demagoguery, and he does have a bit of a tongue, but he is still a little worse than he wants to confuse Lao Tzu." Lao Tzu naturally knows right and wrong, do you think that just a few words of yours can make me upset?"

"Demon Cult. Sorcerer. Xiong Guoguang smiled faintly and repeated these two words, without any disdain or dissatisfaction. "The two of them understood the definition of the title at first glance. This is also the right and wrong good and evil that you have obtained from other places, and you have really seen it and understood what our general's palace is doing?"

"Of course I do. ”

"Oh?" Xiong Guoguang was slightly surprised. "We have always rarely gone out of the two states of Yongji, especially the hinterland of the three states of the Central Plains, and even if we occasionally come out, we are quite cautious and low-key. Brother Tianhe, where did you get it?"

"More than ten years ago, you opened the pass and abandoned the guard, and the six divisions of Xidi entered the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot. At that time, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, which Central Plains person didn't see it?" A trace of murderous aura escaped all around. "Lao Tzu saw with his own eyes how those Sidi savages killed us Central Plains people like pigs and cattle, and plundered the bitter cold grassland outside the pass as slaves and food like cattle and sheep. The five brothers of Lao Tzu also attacked a group of Sidi savages at night with a group of people, and saw that those savages actually cut people directly and used fresh viscera to sacrifice to wolves, demons and evil gods, and the corpses of women and children after wanton rape and murder were murderous underworld people who were also shocked when they saw it, and there were half-eaten baby corpses on the side of the campfire! These are all given by the demon sect demons of your general's mansion!"

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Tianhe was still a righteous man who spontaneously fought against Xidi at that time. Xiong Guoguang nodded.

"Righteous man?" Tianhe Ghost smiled fiercely, tilted his head and spat out. "You are also worthy to say this? Didn't you put those Sidi savages into the gate with your own hands? Didn't you kill those innocent people, women and children? These demon cult demons who regard human life as a mustard and disregard the safety of the people of the world for their own selfishness are just punished by everyone!"

"I don't know how many Xidi people Brother Tianhe stabbed at that time?" Xiong Guoguang asked lightly.

"Lao Tzu's kung fu has not been successful in those years. Fourteen of them were killed desperately. Who of my four brothers doesn't have a few lives of the Sidi in their hands?" When he said this, a look of pride couldn't help but appear on Tianhe's ghost's face. That's right, this is the achievement he is most proud of in his heart, and it is also an important fulcrum that supports many things in his heart.

Speaking of which, in the past ten years, there have been almost no underworld gangs in the real sense on the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and the lone thieves who like to commit adultery and plunder are almost extinct, and they are also related to this matter at the root. Although that catastrophe devastated the three states of the Central Plains, blood flowed like a river. But it is also rare to gather and condense the reckless spirit of the rivers and lakes, but all the men who have faced the Xidi people and experienced that catastrophe can't help but have a sense of arrogance and spirit in their hearts. They all vaguely feel that they are heroes who have fought against the barbarians, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary scum in the rivers and lakes.

This is also in that mid-mountain Taoist temple, the monks and Taoists rooted in Qingzhou are terrified of the two generals' palace counselors. Avoiding it is auspicious, but the Tianhe ghost is the reason why he didn't care about it and did it directly.

"Not bad. It was only a month or two. It can be seen that Brother Tianhe is indeed brave. Xiong Guoguang nodded after hearing this, without any expression. Still speaking softly in that somewhat weak voice, he said weakly. "In comparison, I can't do it, I've been in the Yongzhou army for almost 20 years, and I don't remember it clearly, maybe there are three or four hundred, maybe five or six hundred? ”

"Really?" the look on Tianhe's ghost face and the sparkle in his eyes were suddenly frustrated. "You also kill the Sides?"

"Otherwise, Brother Tianhe, what do you think we are doing in the Yongzhou Army?" Xiong Guoguang smiled faintly. "Do you use the advantages of your tongue to deceive people's hearts? There is no such thing in the military exploits set by the general. There is no need for us in the frontal battle array, but there is no shortage of infiltration, investigation of spies or something, although there are many people in the Liuzi Battalion, the good and the bad are uneven, and we can't throw everything to them to do, at least some important things still have to be taken by us to take the lead and do it ourselves. ”

"That's right, when Sidi entered the customs, he was indeed a general, and it can also be said that everyone in our general's mansion deliberately did it. You think that the tragic situation of that year was a hell on earth, but have you ever thought about it, if we didn't try our best to resist Xidi in Yongzhou, this hellish tragedy would be staged in the Central Plains every year, and even in Kyushu in the world. You only saw the thousands of people who died that year because of us, and did you not see the thousands of people who lived and worked in peace and contentment because of us?"

The Tianhe ghost was speechless for a while. It is indeed because of the Yongzhou Red Leaf Army and the Yongzhou General's Mansion that this great world can be much more stable in the past few decades. When the Great Cadres were first established a few decades ago, it was true that almost every few years, large and small Xidi went south, and several states in the Central Plains were not at peace.

"The imperial court is afraid that our Red Leaf Army will be difficult to govern, so it wants to play tricks to divide and disintegrate, clamp on money and food, and suppress it with the righteous name of Confucianism. Do you really think that those Confucian scholars who were born into famous families and can only recite poems can control the real army of tigers and wolves? If you look at the White Tiger Army in Jizhou, you will know that if you collude with horse thieves and bandits, as long as you pay money, the bandits can also get a military position. If there is no profit, why should those famous families meddle in the affairs of the army? If it is only for profit, the affairs of the army will become a business, and do you expect those businessmen to resist the Sidi?"

"The court saw it and knew it, and from then on it didn't dare to play with these scheming tricks again. You have seen it, but you have not paid attention to the internal situation of the joints, you have not seen the peace and stability that we have brought to the world in the past, and you have blamed all the misery on us according to Confucian etiquette. Brother Tianhe, look, you say that we are demons and demons, and those who say that you are scum of the rivers and lakes who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, are they exactly the same?"

Tianhe Ghost was silent, the expression on his face changed, and Xiong Guoguang didn't say anything more, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine.

"Why?" After a while, the Tianhe Ghost spoke, his voice was already a little dry, and his face was expressionless. "What the hell are you trying to do when you asked me to come here and talk to me about this?"

"Not why. In other words, there is no purpose for profit. I said it, I'm just curious about you, Brother Tianhe. Xiong Guoguang looked at the Tianhe ghost with interest while drinking. "I just want to see what happens to a beast after it breaks through the pigsty that has been confining him. ”

"Fuck you. Tianhe Ghost's voice was a little weak, but it was still firm, he didn't look at Xiong Guoguang anymore, turned around and left. "Lao Tzu admits that what you said has some truth, but Lao Tzu also knows that there are some things that can be done in this world and some things that cannot be done, and there is justice in this world after all. ”

"Fair. Xiong Guoguang smiled faintly again. "Yes, there is justice in this world. Otherwise, Brother Tianhe, wouldn't your four brothers die in vain?"

Tianhe Ghost stood up suddenly, he slowly turned to face Xiong Guoguang, the twitching muscles on his face made him look a hundred times more hideous than before. Xiong Guoguang smiled and looked at him with anticipation in his eyes, like a child looking at a work he was about to finish.

PS: It's finally over, and I'm trying my best to renew it. In addition, I heard from the editor that Beast seems to be adapting a TV series, and asked me to get the story outline and character synopsis, but unfortunately the copyright was sold out, and I couldn't get a penny. It would be nice if I could be assigned a role when the time comes, and 'Finding the One Who True Love' is a tailor-made role for me. (To be continued......)
