Chapter 69: The Heart of a Thief

Li Jing was a thief himself in his previous life, and stealing was a kind of work for him, and in this life he decided not to steal as a profession anymore.

But he still subconsciously has the intention of stealing on some occasion, but he can always restrain this thought.

Now, Qi Qi discovered Li Jing's behavior, seized on this, and began to lure Li Jing.

He was angry with the butler outside the inn door again, and another thing was that after Li Jing and the spirit of the incense burner merged their bodies, their ability to resist temptation was reduced.

For a while, his heart suddenly had a greedy desire, and he was out of control.

All of the above contributed to Li Jing's current state, and he began to look for the butler in every corner of the Sifang Inn, and the butler was the first target he wanted to target.

After setting the goal, all the qualities of Li Jing as a thief in his previous life began to work, he single-mindedly examined all the surrounding environment, where to hide, where to escape, and the surrounding one seemed to disappear in front of his eyes, only that goal was real.

He passed one place after another, passed one person after another, and in his eyes, all the things in the entire Sifang Inn were at his fingertips, as long as he wanted to, it depended on whether he wanted to or not!

Li Jing went down to the attic and walked towards the gate of the inn, and found the butler in an account room inside the gate of the inn.

Li Jing quietly went up, hidden in the crowd, closely observing the housekeeper's dynamics, there were a few guys around the housekeeper, a group of people were busy, and it was not easy to attack him for the time being.

The bookkeeper was not far from the gate of the inn, and at this time, it was completely dark, and there were not many guests from afar entering the inn, and the housekeeper and the men were at leisure.

Li Jing was patient, and waited for about an hour, and the guys around the housekeeper left one after another.

Li Jing quickly approached the butler's side, he casually wiped it on his face, and a special spiritual power was attached to his face, so that everyone who looked at him forgot Li Jing's appearance in the next moment, this trick he had used when he was in the thousand-year-old domain.

Li Jingjing walked to the counter and said in a sharp voice, "I want a good room." ”

The ticket bought outside the Sifang Inn is just an admission ticket to enter the Sifang Inn, and you can only enter here with an admission ticket, and other expenses in the Sifang Inn have to be calculated separately.

The housekeeper glanced up at Li Jing and said, "One or two in the first-class room every night." ”

Li Jing nodded, took out something from his arms, clenched his fists, and stretched out to the housekeeper, the housekeeper reached out to pick it up, when the two hands touched, the housekeeper was stunned, and fell asleep, Li Jing quickly turned into the counter, grabbed the housekeeper, and put him on the ground, Li Jing skillfully scavenged the valuable things in the counter.

Li Jing counted it carefully, and it was only a hundred taels of silver.

"It's strange how it can be so much silver. ”

However, a hundred taels of silver were also silver, and he put it in his baggage and disappeared into the night in an instant.

The satisfaction of a successful steal filled his heart, and with this steal, he found that his blood pill cultivation had improved slightly, and this improvement he could clearly feel that the ability to suppress good and promote evil had worked.

Li Jing didn't have time to think about it, spread his wings in the dark night, flew up, and landed on the top floor of a certain attic, where few people came, and he hid the silver he had obtained somewhere on the top floor, and carried with him more than ten taels of broken silver.

Li Jing rolled over and fell with a chuckle, his crimson eyes instantly locked onto the next target he wanted to attack, and marked that person with his perceptual ability.

This target is a businessman-like figure, and the bodyguard next to him is not low in cultivation and is not easy to deal with.

However, Li Jing still found an opportunity to sweep away the belongings that Shang Jia had brought with him.

Again, he stored the stolen money on the top floor.

With his teleportation ability and boundless dreams, by the time it was the third watch, Li Jing had already succeeded five times and had not encountered much trouble.

However, such a theft soon caused a violent reaction among the guests in the attic, and they approached the person in charge of the Sifang Inn and demanded that the thief be caught.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, no one dares to sleep for a while, and their belongings are hidden close to them, and everyone is in danger.

After such a fuss, Li Jing was not easy to start, he felt a burst of depression in his heart, and the desire to steal began to torment him, wanting to steal more things to satisfy his desires.

He hid on the top floor, watching the person in charge of the Sifang Inn lead a group of people to search for thieves, Li Jing sneered.

"How long has it been since there been a burglar in the Sifang Inn, what can you catch if you catch a thief like this?"

At the time of Li Jing's self-satisfaction.

A voice came from behind him: "Young man, don't be controlled by your own desires!"

Li Jing turned around and looked at the person in front of him with crimson eyes, wasn't this person the peer he had met?

Li Jing laughed angrily: "What do you have to do with it?" I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will ......."

The man was dressed in gray, his appearance was ordinary, he was not angry when he heard the words, he walked towards Li Jing and stopped a foot away from Li Jing.

"You're so young and want to keep everything here for yourself?"

Li Jing sneered: "As long as I want to, everything in this world is mine, who can stop it?"

The gray-clothed man laughed and said: "What a big breath, even I don't dare to say this, young man, I would like to advise you, the Quartet Inn Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you will suffer a big loss if you act so blatantly!"

How could Li Jing take the words of the man in gray to heart, he had inadvertently regarded himself as the omnipotent and earth-shattering thief in his previous life, and the successful experience of stealing five times made his heart swell.

At that moment, he said, "Haven't I suffered a loss, who can catch me? You? hehe......

The man in gray shook his head, he saw his previous shadow from this young man, and he didn't want him to fall into the devil, and said: "I admit it, you come and go like the wind, and your ability to steal is very powerful, but, young man, have you thought about it, why do you steal?"

Li Jing sneered: "Do you need a reason to steal? I just want to steal." ”

The man in gray said with a look of pity: "Then what is the difference between you and animals?"

Li Jing suddenly woke up, and the sentence "What is the difference between you and animals" made him suddenly remember a memory from his previous life, which was a conversation between him and his master.

On that day, Master said to him, "Jing'er, you must always remember that if you want to become a thief, you must not be controlled by your own desires!"

"Master, people are born with seven emotions and six desires, and everyone seems to be controlled and driven by desires. ”

"Yes, people have seven emotions and six desires, that is the most basic! What Master means is that there must be a degree of desire, and you can't lose your soul because of a certain desire, and without a soul, what is the difference between humans and animals?"

"Lost your soul?"

"Master asks you, what is the biggest difference between humans and animals?"

"We humans can think, we can use tools with our hands, we can walk upright, there are so many differences, the biggest difference I haven't thought about. ”

"The biggest difference between man and animal is that man has his own soul! If you fall in love with a woman and want to get her heart, but this woman likes another man, and they are in love with each other, what will you do? Do you try your best to get her by any means, or do you give up and fulfill them?"

"If I truly love her, it will be a fulfillment for both of them!"

"Jing'er, do you know that when you were thinking about whether to give up on her or fulfill them, it was your soul that guided you, and the moment you thought about the problem, it was your soul that was.

Animals don't have such thoughts, they will fight for their lives for the right to mate, how can they ever think about fulfilling each other?"

"However, animals kill for food and mating rights, and we humans don't also compete with each other for fame, social status, beauty, and other resources?"

"Animals are instinctive for these things, and that's why they're beasts. But people are different, your soul will tell you that I love this girl and choose to fulfill them, not to separate the two and take back the beloved woman from that person's hands, which shows that your soul is not lost by your own desires. ”

"Master's words, this is also very common among human beings, fighting each other for the sake of a woman, and two countries fighting for power. ”

You are right, it only means that the soul of such a person is depraved and lost! Remember, what is universal is not necessarily what is right!

Don't ever use someone else doing something as an excuse for your soul to fall! For example, if there is a group of people who are stealing things, and you join in them, your reason is that someone else is stealing, why can't I, and then your soul is falling.

If you like something, you want to possess it, even if it has an owner, such as a priceless thing, a beautiful woman, or a rich country.

You must always remember why you steal, there is injustice in this world, and the ill-gotten wealth is obtained by those people by improper means, and then you steal it by improper means, and distribute the ill-gotten wealth to the poor who really need it.

Although stealing is not acceptable! But your soul has not fallen, and your starting point is to make the world a little more just and help more people, so that you have done a noble deed! Keep such a soul, and you can have a thief's heart!"

"What the master said, the disciple kind of understood. ”

"It's good to understand, there will be too many unsatisfactory things in this world, don't always think about getting, getting, getting! People can't get everything they want!

Sometimes, we have to learn to give up, to appreciate a good thing when it is in someone else's rightful possession, and not to take it away.

As Rogues, we have our own principles, and those principles are where our souls lie.

Master has been telling you that when you are able to reach the heavens, you will have everything at your fingertips, and at that time, only a noble soul can keep you at your original intention!"

Li Jing thought of this memory, and his consciousness immediately cleared up a lot.

"Oh no, I've been tempted by Qiqi. ”

He sat cross-legged and recited the method of restraining his inner distractions and calming his inner thoughts.

In a moment, the crimson eyes faded, and he successfully freed himself from the desire to steal.

When Li Jing stood up, the gray-clothed companion was gone.

At this time, I heard someone say: "Feng Qiming, what is your intention to make trouble in my Sifang Inn like this." ”
