Li Yu settled down and said to Liu Liuliu and the others: "The top priority at the moment is to bury Chaoyi Shenjun. Li Yu is young and knowledgeable, ignorant of the world, thanks to the help of his predecessors and commanders. I also ask you to agree on the auspicious day and the schedule tonight, and hand it over to me tomorrow. ”

Liu Liuliu bowed his head slightly and said, "Obey the order of the Divine Monarch." "They dispersed with the black-robed men and others.

Li Yu went to the Yixin courtyard and reunited with Shangguan Yan and others. During the banquet, Li Yu told everyone the reasons why Chaoyi Shenjun repaired his appearance meridians for himself, and he was determined to transform the Divine Punishment Island and take over the position of Shenjun.

Zhang Yu smiled: "You have this heart, it is a great good." The dragons and snakes of the Divine Punishment Island are mixed, and the undercurrent is surging, and it is necessary to take it step by step, and not to rush it. ”

She looked at Li Yu's eyes, her voice paused slightly, and she said again: "The poem says: If you don't ask for it, why don't you want it? I believe that you Li Yu will be able to get what you want." ”

"Thank you, fairy. ”

Zhang Yu's words turned, his eyes flowed, and he was overwhelmed: "It's time for me to go back to the beggar's door." Now that we have a party, I won't say goodbye to you tomorrow. ”

Xue Yifeng showed a reluctant expression, but said, "Good brother, I also want to leave with Sister Zhang." ”

Tang Rouyu also joked: "Everyone wants to leave, and I have to go." ”

When the wind and clouds meet, they disperse in an instant. Li Yu was slightly stunned, and his heart suddenly overflowed with melancholy. However, he laughed and said: "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." Perhaps, we'll see each other again soon. ”

Zhang Yu glanced at Shangguan Yan and smiled again: "You are accompanied by beautiful women, you are gentle in the township, and don't forget your confidant." ”

Shangguan Yan's eyes were clear, and he put a sip of thin wine into his mouth, his cheeks did not blush at all, and he only said slowly: "If you forget each other easily, how can you have the word confidant?"

Zhang Yu hurriedly raised his glass: "It's me who lost my words, and I punished myself with a glass." "I drank the wine in my glass.

This glass of wine party, although soaked in the meaning of parting, but because of the pressure suddenly gone, it is different from the pretending to be idle and elegant tea in the Lingxi bamboo forest.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and everyone resigned. In an instant, only Li Yu was left in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

Li Yu suddenly laughed at a table of leftover dishes? And then shook his head? Stood up and walked to the window. He wasn't drunk, but his steps were heavier than ever.

Finally in front of the window? Li Yu reached out and pushed open the window? Looking into the sky, see that the moon is not very round? Not very narrow, not very bright? Not very dark? The dark clouds were half covered and half released, and the clear light was half bright and half obscure, which made Li Yu stunned.

He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly thought, "I wonder what Master is doing now? Or is it the same as me? If she knew that I had become the lord of the island of divine punishment, would she be happy or angry? I guess she was mostly angry, and she didn't like the ...... of worldly affairs."

Delusional? Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the pavilion, and Shangguan Yan's soft voice could be heard: "Li Gongzi? Are you wandering, are you admiring the moon, or are you pregnant with someone?"

Li Yu hurriedly packed his mind? Turning his head, he saw Shangguan Yan going and returning? Slightly surprised? He said, "Miss Shangguan? You're ......."

Shangguan Yan did not enter the pavilion, half leaned on the door, made a gesture with his hand, and said: "The moonlight is not very good, but I am interested in admiring the moon, but I don't know if Li Gongzi is willing to walk a few steps with me?"

Li Yu's heart moved, and he replied briskly: "I am happy." It's just that I'm extremely unfamiliar with Divine Punishment Island, and I don't know where the scenery under the moon can be appreciated......" That being said, his steps were already moving towards the pavilion door.

Shangguan Yan covered his mouth and smiled: "As the master, you are not as familiar with the Divine Punishment Island as my guest, you really shouldn't." Three miles southeast of this pleasant courtyard, there is a lake, surrounded by dense flowers and trees, and I remember it when I pass by at dusk. I'll take you there as a guest. ”

Li Yu walked a few steps quickly, walking side by side with Shangguan Yan, and when he passed by Zhang Yu and the others' room, he invariably chose to be silent, and even his footsteps were extremely slight.

After walking silently for a long time, Shangguan Yan suddenly spoke: "Li Gongzi, you seem to have something on your mind. When I was drinking during the banquet, I saw that you were absent-minded, and your brows were furrowed......"

Li Yu's heart moved again, and he sighed: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." I was upset, I wanted to talk to you, who knew that you had already stood in front of me, it was really timely to rain. ”

"Hmph. Shangguan Yan snorted and sighed: "If I hadn't taken the initiative to invite, I'm afraid you might not be willing to confide in me." You have always been resolute and resolute, can this matter be caused by the Divine Punishment Island?"

"Yes, I can't help but doubt and even have some regrets. I didn't think too much about it at the time, so I agreed to Chaoyi Shenjun to take over Divine Punishment Island. Now I know that this is a heavy burden, and it is likely that I cannot bear it. ”

"You're scared, aren't you?"

Li Yu's pace suddenly stopped, his voice paused, and then said, "I'm not afraid, but I don't know how to do it." ”

Shangguan Yan smiled and said, "You are a Divine Monarch, you can do whatever you want." You have the foundation of the Divine Punishment Island, and you have the Shuying Pavilion as a backer, it is enough to dominate the Immortal Forest and become famous in the world, why bother?"

These words came out of Shangguan Yan's mouth, which made Li Yu very surprised. He had no choice but to use extra words to explain his thoughts: "I don't care about fame, and accepting the position of the god monarch is not for the sake of hegemony and fame." ”

"Nonsense!" Shangguan Yan's phoenix eyes flashed: "If it weren't for your reputation, why didn't you admit defeat earlier when you were in the ring at Fengming Mountain? You were obviously seriously injured and obviously fell behind, but you wanted to stand in the ring regardless of your life, and waited until the Ice and Snow Fairy came out before you took the initiative to admit defeat? You also said that you were standing in the ring not to show your heart to the Ice and Snow Fairy. Oh, isn't that a contradiction that doesn't explain what you're doing?"

Shangguan Yan brought up the old matter again, and it was an accident and a helpless thing to call Li Yu. Those past events are far away for Li Yu, and Shangguan Yan can still remember them.

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was a fledgling and young and vigorous, and I did have the intention of making a name for myself in front of everyone. But since the accident, I have come to understand what I want, and I have become less interested in my reputation. ”

"Nonsense again. Shangguan Yan not only had a smile in his eyes this time, but also a smile on his face: "Since you have found your own way, why are you at a loss now?"

"I have always believed that the wicked cannot be changed, and that only death can atone for their sins. But now I'm going to do something to change the wicked, and I can't help but doubt it.

Especially after seeing the Sin Mountain and the Garden of Pleasant Love, I felt even more hopeless. It is like a great river that flows eastward, flowing eastward for thousands of miles, and now it is impossible for this great river to suddenly flow westward at the mouth of the sea.

Mencius talked about the theory of sexual goodness, so we should keep our hearts from the influence of the red dust and turbidity in the day after tomorrow; Xunzi talked about the theory of sexual evil, so we should guide our hearts to be good through rituals and laws the day after tomorrow, so as to avoid the uncontrolled and unscrupulous nature of our hearts.

Whether it is the theory of sexual goodness or sexual evil, the influence of nurture is crucial. However, the people of Divine Punishment Island, after decades of subtle transformation, have long been difficult to change their temperament.

When a wicked person is released from the mountain of sin, he will only intensify and carry out the evil to the end. When a good person is released from the mountain of sin, his temperament will change drastically, and he will surrender to evil. ”

Shangguan Yan nodded and said, "The people of the Sin Mountain, some people deserve it, and some people are innocent. It can be seen that the Divine Monarch of Chaoyi set up the Mountain of Sin to show that he controls the life and death of everyone. And the Chaoyi Divine Monarch set up the Garden of Joy to show that he controlled everyone's sorrow and happiness.

What the Divine Monarch asks for is not good or evil, as long as his subordinates respect and fear him. But you Li Yu have to distinguish between good and evil, so don't do anything.

You must be doubting that even if you destroy the Sin Mountain and abolish the Garden of Pleasant Love, you won't be able to change the hearts of the people on the Divine Punishment Island, yes or no?

"Exactly. So I'm wondering, is there any point in me taking over the position of this god king?"
