Chapter 7 One Net Under Heaven
Blue Moon Cottage.
The breeze is coming, and the bamboo forest is swaying. The bamboo leaves are crystal clear, such as jade carving. The bamboo shadow is swaying, the strange stones are standing, the spiritual mist is drifting, and it is hazy.
Between the gravel, a clear stream flows, extending deep into the blue-leaved bamboo forest.
There is a small courtyard, an attic, and a pavilion.
In the pavilion, there is a white jade table, and on the stone table, there is a game of chess pieces.
The moonlight is beautiful, the bamboo leaves are swaying, looking up, it seems that a blue moon is hanging in the air.
Not far away, in the medicine garden of ten zhang size, more than 100 precious elixir branches and leaves are swaying, swallowing the aura of heaven and earth, and the flowers are clustered, exuding a fresh medicinal fragrance, full of vitality.
Su Mo sat in the pavilion, holding a blue bamboo fishing rod, hanging Dan mud on the Wujin hook, throwing the line into the stream, and fishing happily.
Suddenly, a strong wind rose, and a cold killing intent enveloped the pavilion, and one after another, like ghosts, appeared from all corners, and surrounded him under the leadership of a woman in purple.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "The Thousand Shadows Phantom Killing Sword Formation, focusing on the words shadow and illusion, supplemented by treacherous body methods, killing people invisibly, is a rare assassination battle array in the spirit level mid-grade formation." But when you cast it, the killing intent is too heavy, and the cooperation with each other is still jerky. However, it is not bad to be able to cultivate to such a point in just over five months. Mei Niang, it's been a hard time!"
As soon as the words fell, the formation dissipated, the figure retreated, and the buzzing sounded suddenly.
Several hundreds of silver-tailed bees quietly appeared above Su Mo's head, pouring down like a waterfall.
Su Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said: "The formation is unstable, the rules are chaotic, although the momentum is amazing, it is in vain, Mu Bai, you are slacking." With that, he raised his right hand, his five fingers opened, and a purple light flowed in the palm of his hand, imprisoning the sneak attack Soul Eater Worm!
"Mu Bai, five altars of spiritual honey wine, don't forget to send it to me!"
"What is there to be proud of, next time I will definitely be able to hide it from Childe!"
"Next time, I won this time anyway?!"
“......”
Looking at the two people who came noisily, Su Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that this operation, except for the impact is a bit big, the process should be smoother than I imagined." In that case, I'll go to bed first, and you guys will be noisy slowly!"
"It's not going well! It's not going well!" Mei Niang's figure flashed, grabbed Su Mo's arm, her beautiful eyes were resentful, and Chu Chu said pitifully, "Childe, we have suffered a lot of losses this time, even Xue'er, who is in charge of the finishing, has been seriously injured, and now she is still recuperating on the couch, you can't be so ruthless!"
Su Mo looked at Mei Niang, whose body was about to be buried in his arms, and said angrily: "Seriously injured? Lying on the couch to recuperate?
"How is it possible, it must be Childe's mistake, Xue'er is most infatuated with Childe, how can she make a move on you. Now he is bedridden, his body is emaciated, and the entire shadow guard is even more gloomy, hungry, poorly clothed, sleeping on the streets, and being bullied by others......"
Mei Niang's expression was sad, and her tears and snot wiped on Su Mo's clothes.
The scene is really in tears for the hearers, and the mourning for the viewers!
"Five thousand spirit stones, six snow silkworm spirit clothes!"
"Oh my God, poor my shadow guard was born and died......
"Add two more bottles of Purple Cloud Pill!"
"Oh my God! poor my shadow guard desperately ......"
"Plus two high-grade spiritual weapons!"
"Oh my God! Poor my shadow guard kills the most people......"
"No matter how dare you mess around, it's gone!"
The crying stopped abruptly, Mei Niang let go of Su Mo's arm, and said with a smile: "Childe, there are a lot of things to do with the shadow guard, and the slave family can't get out, so please send someone to send something over." And Mu Bai, don't forget the five altars of wine!"
Su Mo wiped his cuffs and said helplessly: "Okay, don't make trouble, let's get down to business!"
"According to Gongzi's orders, Shi Lie's family and slaves have been classified and disposed of, punished for the wicked, and released the innocent, ordered them to leave the surroundings of Sunset City, and vowed never to return. Mei Niang restrained her smile and said solemnly: "It's just that only a few of these people have dispersed, and most of them choose to stay where they are or join relatives and friends nearby, and secretly connect with each other to start investigating our ......."
Mu Bai's thin lips moved slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.
Su Mo smiled and said meaningfully, "Mu Bai has something to say?"
"Childe said that what we do is not chivalrous, just to survive better. As the saying goes, if all evil is eradicated, why not cut them down and eradicate them to the roots? Leaving these people behind will only leave endless troubles. A touch of gloom appeared on Mu Bai's face, and he pointed to the core when he opened his mouth, "The hatred of killing my father is not shared! Those people may not be grateful for the kindness of their son, and they will definitely plan for revenge." Moreover, as relatives of the wicked, although they have no great evil, they also enjoy the benefits brought by the wicked, and they should be completely eradicated. ”
Asking the doubts in his heart, Mu Bai saw that Su Mo didn't speak, so he tentatively said: "Gongzi asked us to declare that we were going to kill their loved ones, presumably this is what it means." If you feel that slaughtering innocents hinders the Dao heart and is not conducive to cultivation, Mu Bai is not afraid and doesn't care, please give Gongzi permission!"
Exiting the door and slaughtering with his mouth closed, Mu Bai did not hesitate at all, which shows his ruthless and resolute character. On the contrary, Mei Niang, who killed more people, showed a little unbearable on her face. However, she also had this concern, so she didn't interrupt Mu Bai's words and quietly waited for Su Mo to decide.
"Eliminating evil is not the same as doing something that is not evil. There is no benevolence in the matter of killing people, so from beginning to end, I will not consider myself a defender. Su Mo shook his head and said in a calm tone, "If I don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it's not because I'm indecisive, I'm not merciful and benevolent, and I don't want to be a hypocrite, but I stick to my heart." ”
Knowing that these words could not convince the two of them, Su Mo thought for a while and continued to explain: "You think he is a wicked person, so kill him, this is your heart." There is a conflict in his heart but there is no right or wrong, Shi Lie harmed your whole family back then, and it was also caused by his own heart, so he himself did not think it was evil. ”
"It is not the same as destroying the house and slaughtering the innocent, because you know that they are innocent, or at least they will not sin unto death. If you want to kill because of the uncertainties of the future, you will only let yourself gradually degenerate, and eventually lose the bottom line of humanity, fall into the devil's path, and become a demon who kills indiscriminately. ”
Mei Niang's face was thoughtful, as if she had an understanding.
Mu Bai's face was gloomy and relieved slightly, and he argued: "What about those troubles, just let them grow?"
Su Mo asked rhetorically: "Why do you need to get rid of the troubles, and how can you completely eradicate them?"
Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Destroy his family, cut off his incense, and solve his troubles!"
Su Mo smiled and said: "The method is a way, but unfortunately, it still can't completely eliminate the troubles, the so-called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is just an empty word." ”
Raising his hand and drawing in the air, Su Mo said lightly: "This world is very big, there are five continents and seven seas, and it is vast. But at the same time, it is also very small, and every living creature living in the world is a node in it, with dots and lines, and lines into planes, like a huge net, intertwining all things. Erasing any node will cause other nodes to fluctuate. They have hurt us, and we seek revenge on them, which is cause and effect, and has no direct relationship with good and evil. ”
Mu Bai looked confused.
Seeing this, Su Mo was a little helpless, and continued: "As I said before, removing a node will cause fluctuations in the nodes on the entire network. It's just that the farther away from the node you remove, the smaller the impact will be until it is negligible. However, if you follow this node and obliterate more nodes, the volatility will be amplified until it affects the node farthest from it. It's like killing someone in our Dongsheng Divine Continent, it is difficult to have an impact on the Northern Plains Ice Continent. But if you follow this person's social circle and kill endlessly, I am afraid that the world will be shaken. ”
"Killing a person will affect his relatives and friends, destroying a small family will affect the stability of a county, and destroying a country or sect will shake a region or even a continent. As long as it continues to be transmitted in this way, it will eventually affect everyone, even ourselves. In fact, there is some kind of connection between any two living beings in the world, so how can this aftermath be eradicated?"
The truth has been clarified, Su Mo said with a solemn expression: "It is human nature to have revenge and revenge, and there is not much right or wrong to speak of." But disregard for innocent lives is not the case with eradication, it is a self-consolation that goes against human ethics and does not bring true liberation. ”
"As for why we should intimidate them, of course, it is to make them suffer more before they die! Revenge must naturally be repaid! Murder only needs to be worthy of the heart, and it is not against the road of humanity, so why be afraid of revenge?"
Mei Niang and Mu Bai listened, but they didn't feel ashamed, and bowed their heads and said nothing.
"The truth of the world is often easy to say, and there are very few people who can abide by their hearts. And I have long found out that although these people are full of evil and powerful, most of their children and grandchildren are mediocre people, and they cannot make a climate. If there is really any outstanding talent, I may not be able to let him live. I am telling you this in the hope that you will not sink easily, and how far you can go in the future depends on you after all. Su Mo sighed, "Death is unknown to everyone, and fear is naturally inevitable. In fact, if you experience it once, you will find that death ...... It's not that scary......"
Mei Niang Mu Bai looked at each other, what does Childe mean by this? You can't really die once, right?
"It's just a big day, it's a little boring to talk about life and death. Su Mo woke up from his trance, laughed at himself, and said, "You are all hard-working people, and your heart will inevitably be affected, now that the revenge has been avenged, your wish has been fulfilled, what are your plans next?"
Mu Bai frowned and said, "Although Shi Lie is dead, the Shi family ......."
"The behemoth of the Shi family is not something we can provoke, so don't worry about it. Su Mo pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "The Royal Martial Alliance will soon open the assessment, if you want to get rid of the identity of casual cultivation, you might as well try it, after all, among the Three Kingdoms, it is the strongest in our Tianlin National Martial Alliance, with a variety of martial arts and martial arts, and the cultivation environment is also good. If you don't want to be constrained, then retreat and practice for a period of time, and when the limelight has passed, or when you are well prepared, it is not too late to go outside. Of course, these are just suggestions, and I will not veto you to make any decisions, whether as your son or as a friend. You have done a lot for me over the years, and you have done enough to save my life and preach without too many worries. ”
Mei Niang put her arms around Su Mo and said with a smile: "Oh, is Childe trying to drive us away?" This is not good, before getting the title, the slave family is reluctant to leave Childe!"
Su Mo had a headache and said, "If you don't want to leave, stay and stay, why are you saying these strange things!"
Mu Bai lowered his head, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates were originally outlaws, but thanks to the rescue of my son, preaching and teaching, I have to cultivate today." Now that the revenge has been avenged, he should have saddled up the horse and repaid the son's great kindness. But his subordinates still have obsessions in their hearts, and they want to go back to Qinglin City to rebuild the Canglei Demon Hunting Group to comfort their father's spirit in the sky. Of course, the subordinates will definitely be careful and will not cause any trouble to Childe, and please allow Childe!"
Su Mo didn't avoid it, he generously accepted the salute, and said with relief: "Go ahead, you have to remember that practicing and cultivating the mind, seeking the Tao and seeking the truth, whether it is a monk or a martial artist, you need to carefully polish your state of mind in order to go high and far." When you are confused, you may wish to read more classics of the sages, which may help. ”
Mu Bai looked sincere, choked up: "No matter where you are, as long as the son has a call, thousands of rivers and mountains, go to the soup and fire, and do not give up!"
