On the third pole of the day, Luoyangtai set off for the Zhongxuan Realm, and asked Yunzhou to take care of Luoshui before leaving.

Immediately Luo Ting took Luoshui to leave Qiantang, Qiantang Luo's operated a starry sky flying boat ferry, thirty percent of the annual profits belonged to Qiantang Luo's, seventy percent to the national treasury.

Luo Jinghong sent the two of them to the starry sky flying boat, waiting for the two to leave, staring at the flying boat for a long time, nearly half a hundred years old, and the children under his knees finally left him.

Luo Jinghong really doesn't have a taste to think about it, this Luo family head has ambitions, but if he has to sacrifice his children to achieve ambitions, he is unwilling.

Since my son and daughter are not around, I can let go of my hands and feet, and I don't have to cower anymore.

The starry sky flying boat is a long-distance means of transportation, which is expensive to build and extremely fast.

Except for the mighty, the rest of the monks could not resist the wind for a long time, so the starry sky boat became the best tool for the monks to travel.

However, generally the starry sky flying boat has a fixed route, and you can't go to the place you want to go as you like, and sometimes it's not very convenient.

Unless the great sect family can have their own starry sky flying boat, even then they can't go wherever they want, and they need the great monk to open up a route in advance to ensure safety before they can set off for the flying boat.

There was no private starry sky flying boat in the territory of the Zhaolie Empire, all flying boats belonged to the royal family, and the royal family distributed them to large cities or large sects, and seventy percent of the profits were handed over to the national treasury.

This starry sky flying boat in Qiantang is not very large, and there is a monk from the Six Realms on board to guard it to prevent anyone from hijacking the ship.

Luo Ting looked at the geographical map of the southeast Xuan Realm, the Zhaolie Empire is the Mingyue Empire to the west, and the next stop is a ferry on the border of the Zhaolie Empire, where you need to get off the boat.

Luo Ting wants to take a walk, let's start here, the third senior brother said to look at people's hearts, the most powerful thing in the world is not the flying sword of the Sword Emperor, but the hearts of ordinary people.

Three days later, the Starry Sky Flying Boat arrived at Tiemen Pass, a small border city on the border of the Zhaolie Empire.

The Iron Gate Pass is remote and desolate, except for the garrison, most of the people's clothes are sewn and repaired.

Walking into the Iron Gate Pass is like entering an extremely desolate place, the roadside is overgrown with weeds, and the main road is not like Qiantang, which is paved with marble or bluestone slabs, it is all muddy and yellow, and there are ruts on the road that have been run over by cars after the last rain and dried up.

There was a foul smell everywhere, sewage and feces were exposed in the open air, and the stars were scattered around the walls, leaning on the yellow-faced thin and weak people who got up.

There are also patrol officers and soldiers, who do not manage these people in need in the slightest.

Luoshui was very curious all the way, but when he came here, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, here and the bustling Qiantang are really a heaven and a place.

It just so happens that the water in your bag has already been drunk, so let's find a place to replenish the water first.

Luo Ting took Luo Shui to a tea house that was still open, the restaurant was not big, the air was leaking everywhere, and the boss was leaning on the counter and dozing.

Luo Ting woke him up, and the man saw two young people, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and chic, and the woman was pure and moving, and he suddenly became interested, presumably the children of the great families in the mainland, who came to this border to practice.

"What do you want to do?"

Luo Ting took Luo Shui to a table against the wall and sat down, and said, "Two pots of tea, fresh fruit." ”

The shopkeeper flattered and said, "Son, we are in a remote location, and fresh fruits are not cheap. ”

Luo Ting smiled and said, "What, am I like a poor man?"

"Not like!

After that, the shopkeeper went down to prepare things, and Luo Shui smacked his lips as if he had something to say.

Luo Ting sneered, "What's the matter?

As early as on the starry sky flying boat, Luo Ting recognized Luo Shui as his sister-in-law, and Luo Shui was very happy to have an older brother.

Luo Shui said listlessly: "I feel a little dangerous here. ”

Luo Ting smiled: "What's there to be afraid of, I'm by your side." ”

"Ever since I entered the city, people were always staring at me, and I was so scared of that creepy feeling. ”

Luo Ting touched his head and said, "Whoever dares to have thoughts about you, I will make him disappear!"

"Hmph! Brother Hua'er knows what to say. ”

"Hey!"

After a while, the shopkeeper brought two pots of tea and a plate of fruit.

Luo Ting glanced at it and retracted his gaze, Luo Shui directly picked up an apple, rubbed Luo Ting's clothes and ate it.

Luo Ting saw that the shopkeeper was delayed, so he asked, "Is there anything else going on with the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper bent over, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Childe, this fruit is three gold, this tea is one gold, a total of four gold, I have a small business here......

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Luo Shui threw down a piece of five coins and said, "Don't look for it, I have something to ask you by the way?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the money, and he accepted the five coins without leaving a trace in his right hand, and said with a smile: "Childe, I must know everything and say everything." ”

Luo Ting said: "I see that there is hunger on the road here, the Zhaolie Empire has always been rich, why are there so many people here who are so thin that they can't look good, lying on the side of the road, and the general who guards the city doesn't care?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Those people are all self-inflicted, and the son should leave it alone, it's useless." ”

"Oh, fill these two bags with water. ”

"Okay. ”

After that, the shopkeeper left with the water bag, and the little girl snorted,

Luo Ting asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shui pointed to the half apple in his hand and said, "There are insects, and they are unpalatable." ”

Luo Ting sneered: "If there are insects, it means that it is fresh, and if it is unpalatable, it means that the water and soil here are not good, and it is not enough to support people." ”

Luo Shui snorted: "Profiteer! This plate of sparse fruit is not worth half a gold in Qiantang, and we are actually asked for three dollars here, and we can buy a good banquet on the table with three dollars." ”

"I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Luo family still knew some things about the market, which is not ordinary. ”

Luo Ting looked at the hungry people on the road who were dying, and thought to himself, why didn't anyone help them?

The shopkeeper said that they asked for it, so what happened?

The third senior brother asked me to look at people's hearts more, but he has been looking at people's hearts for so many years, and he has not been able to enter the Tao so far, and he is still trapped in the realm of Supreme.

Luo Ting went out and threw a gold at everyone who was lying on the side of the road.

Those people just raised their eyes, their posture did not change in the slightest, the corners of their mouths were still a little disdainful, and they did not take the money that was close to Chi Qi, Luo Ting said in his heart: "What is the situation?"

After the shopkeeper finished fetching water, he saw Luo Ting handing out money there, and hurriedly picked up the money that Luo Ting threw on the ground and returned it to Luo Ting's hands.

Luo Ting was full of suspicions, those people were obviously starving to death, why didn't they take that money and don't want to have a full meal?

The shopkeeper pulled Luo Ting back to the teahouse and said, "Why do you give money to those sluts." ”

Luo Ting said: "They are all dying of hunger. ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "They brought it on themselves." ”

"What's going on?"

The shopkeeper asked, "The son is the son of a great family in the mainland?"

"It's not too much. ”

"Childe doesn't know what kind of situation I am here, those people themselves have legs and feet, the family is poor, if you work hard to earn money to live is not a problem, but they do not want to forge ahead, at the beginning of relying on other people's charity is still alive, there is a rich merchant passing here, see these people are pitiful, so they give a lot of food, but they don't want food to ask for money, the rich businessman thinks that if you give money, it is better to change it into food to let people live, they are not willing to go around saying bad things about the rich businessman, destroying the business of the rich businessman, saying that the rich businessman is hypocritical, hypocritical to the extreme, as a result, the rich businessman withdrew from the iron gate pass, and the iron gate pass became more desolateLater, they did not want to make progress and intensified, and they did not have to ask for a lot of money to give money, but also sent it to them, otherwise they would spread rumors. ”

The shopkeeper said angrily, why don't those people die, what a good person the rich merchant was back then, these people forced him away.

"I see, this is the human heart!"

The shopkeeper said bitterly: "Son, you are the children of a rich family, you don't understand these worldly people, don't show your wealth, these people are pitiful and pitiful, and there must be something hateful." ”

"I see, thank you for the shopkeeper's advice. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”

Luo Ting smiled, people's hearts are really treacherous, a gold is very valuable, and these would rather starve than take the money that can give them a full meal.

Luo Ting heard the third senior brother tell a trivial matter, Yao Guangzhi once went down the mountain to help a poor person, first gave money, and then gave food, the man later said that he had no house to live in, and the third senior brother gave a house.

The man said again: "There is a lack of a mother-in-law." ”

The third senior brother gave money, said the matchmaker, and asked him to marry a beautiful wife, and then the man said that the child had no money to support, and the third senior brother gave the money again.

The third senior brother always met the man's request, and once the third senior brother saw that the field he bought for the man was abandoned and uncultivated, and he did not say anything.

Later, when the man's child was sick and had no money for treatment, he asked for money from the third senior brother, but the third senior brother did not satisfy him this time.

The man scolded the third senior brother for his hypocrisy, and after the child died of illness, he had no money, and his wife who had married before also left him, so the man sued the third senior brother to the cultivator's court.

Many people listened to the man's story, and he said that the third senior brother would not save him when he saw death, and his wife was separated.

At that time, many monks heard that the wife of an ordinary person who was killed by the third senior brother was separated and his family was ruined, and they wrote and criticized him, asking the third senior brother to give him justice.

The Practitioner's Court is specifically designed by the Empire to establish a binding measure for practitioners.

The third senior brother said at the time, I have been confessing my sins, wanting to see where the lower limit of people's hearts is, and finally when I was judged, I revealed my identity, and as a result, those who heard the news came to crusade against me.

But everyone calls me the Three Ancestors of Tiandu, where is there still the same appearance that targeted me before.

And the man who framed me was finally killed by my own hands, and everyone applauded, and the hearts of men were unfathomable, whether they were mortals or monks.

Luo Ting asked at the time: "Senior brother has been helping that person to see where the lower limit of people's hearts is, will the result be a little disappointed." ”

Yao Guangzhi said: "The Confucian sage has always told that the human heart is inherently good, while another sage said that the human heart is inherently evil, I originally thought that the human heart is a mirror, giving him good is good, giving him evil is evil, I have always wanted to see where the lower limit of the human heart is, it seems that I am still more inclined to the saying that the human heart is evil." ”

"Is that disappointment?"

"Sort of!"
