When Ye Yu's knife was retracted, the two guards had already fallen to the ground, their knives were broken, their noses were flattened, and they were each stabbed in the shoulder.

In the past, Ye Yu must have taken the lives of two people with a knife in his hand, but now he has changed.

He became soft, he became known to sigh for life, and on his fangs, compassion grew. This is the only thing that the two guards can be happy about at the moment.

When Wang Yuanwai, who was riding back to the trough, saw this scene, he fell off his horse in fright, and he had no time to get on the horse, so he could only abandon his horse and run wildly.

Because Ye Yu had already walked towards him.

Wang Yuan has never practiced martial arts, but his body is quite athletic and he runs fast, which is related to his long-term love of horseback riding.

Although Ye Yu had practiced martial arts, he was sick, and he was out of breath and began to cough after not running a few steps.

In this wilderness, Ye Yu ran seven or eight miles before catching up with Wang Yuanwai.

If he hadn't picked up a large rock and threw it and smashed it outside the king's office, he might have had to run a few more miles to catch up with him.

Wang Yuanwai was hit by a stone in the back, staggered to the ground in pain, and he couldn't run.

Lying on the ground panting, he asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Yu's answer was simple: "The one who killed you." ”

Wang Yuanwai's face changed, he could see that Ye Yu was a person who could say and do, the knife on his waist looked ordinary, but he could feel that this knife had killed many people. He knew better that he was a man with enemies.

He immediately turned over and fell to the ground, kowtowed Ye Yu a few times, his forehead was bleeding, and he had a strong desire to survive.

Wang Yuanwai said all the honorifics that he had never said in his life, and used a pious and compassionate tone to let the person in front of him surround his life.

He looked embarrassed, and seeing that Ye Yu didn't react for a long time, he was so frightened that he became incontinent, staining his delicate snow-blue horse clothes.

He begged and begged, began to cry, began to cry bitterly, at first Ye Yu could still hear what was in his mouth, how much money was given to him, as long as he let himself live, he would definitely know how to repay his kindness in the future, and then he gradually couldn't hear what he said, only heard his slurred crying, the sound of tears and snot blending.

Ye Yu originally respected heroes who were not afraid of death, and looked down on these cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death, they were cowardly, they were incompetent, and they were small.

But Xiao Mu came into his life, so that he understood that everyone is a dust in the three thousand worlds, and every small life has the right to live.

Perhaps tired of it, he found that he had never listened to the compassion of those souls who died under the knife.

Now, his heart has been made amorous by some force.

He asked Wang Yuanwai, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, to stand up, and took out the rope he carried with him to tie Wang Yuanwai firmly. Like a dog, walk towards the no-man's land in the wilderness.

They walked for a long time before they came across the deserted firewood house, where they spent five days.

At the beginning, Wang Yuan couldn't eat and sleep outside, not only because he was honestly tied to the pillar, but also because he was afraid that Ye Yu would kill him at any time, and then Ye Yu clearly told him that he decided to let him live, as long as he was honest and well-behaved.

So Wang Yuanwai gradually stopped being afraid, and took advantage of Ye Yu's efforts to take off the sackcloth stuffed in his mouth and feed him dry food every morning, and talked to Ye Yu.

Ask him who instructed him, how much money he spent, and what his purpose was.

Of course, Ye Yu would not answer, he cared more about whether he could see the wooden girl in the Qinglou than betraying Li Gongzi.

So Ye Yu didn't want to say a word, and after feeding, he stuffed the straw back into Wang Yuanwai's mouth.

Ye Yu once asked him if he knew the girl in the Qinglou, and after getting a negative answer, Ye Yu never wanted to hear Wang Yuanwai speak, and he didn't want to hear a word.

Wang Yuanwai did not resist, he was very honest and well-behaved, he felt that it was a great gift from God to be able to pick up a life, and it was more important than anything else to continue to live in the world and enjoy glory and wealth.

He decided that after he went back, he must go to the temple to burn incense and make vows, open a warehouse to release grain, and accumulate good deeds.

A few days after Wang Yuanwai disappeared, the palace sent all the people to look for it in the city, and even the maids who brought tea and water were sent out.

On the first day, they found the horse farm, but when they woke up, the horseman Xiaosi and the two guards didn't know anything except that they had been knocked unconscious by a dark shadow.

The people of the palace did not find the deserted firewood house.

The reason why it is deserted is because the place is too remote, and the tall woods are like copper walls and iron walls surrounding the firewood houses, which must have been abandoned for decades.

They must not be able to find it, so Ye Yu was very relieved to tie Wang Yuanwai here.

On the morning of the fifth day, Ye Yu hastily fed Wang Yuanwai some dry food and hurried away.

This was the first time he had left Wang Yuanwai, and Wang Yuanwai felt very strange, because Ye Yu, who didn't come back until dusk, came back on a fast horse, and was wearing an elegant-looking costume.

Wang Yuanwai found that there was great disappointment in Ye Yu's eyes, and he couldn't guess what Ye Yu had experienced.

Ye Yu stared at Wang Yuanwai for a long time, and said, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to let you go." ”

Ye Yu didn't take the straw from his mouth, Wang Yuanwai would take it out himself, because the rope on his body had been untied by Ye Yu.

Wang Yuanwai fell to his knees with a puff, and was just about to say something of thanks, but Ye Yu left without looking back.

He knew that if he released the king, maybe the people in this vicinity would be exploited by him in the name of raising military salaries, but he really couldn't do it.

Riding away on a fast horse, the horse's hooves kicked up a puff of dust, good horse.

Wang Yuanwai walked out of the firewood house, and finally bathed in the sunlight again, breathing the air of freedom. Five days of weariness and humiliation seemed to disappear in an instant. His emaciated cheeks seemed to be bloody, and his deep-seated eye sockets seemed to have refreshment.

It's nice to be free, it's not so strong that the sun makes him feel the warmth of the sun for the first time.

Freedom does not refer to whether the body can do as it pleases, but whether there is a chest where the soul can be placed.

The marshal of Xu Guo used to be this box, and later this box drove Ye Yu away. Then Tang Jianli turned into another box, but now this box is dead.

Xiaomu is Ye Yu's third box, and this box is now gone.

From then on, Ye Yu's free body could no longer find a box where the soul could be placed.

He has asked many people when they will live the most in their lives.

Some people say that the cave room spends candle nights, and some people say that the gold list is inscribed.

Some people say that revenge will be avenged, and others say that they have found their lost relatives.

Some people say that it is when they win the biggest gamble of their lives at the table, and some people say that it is when a certain kiln sister sweats on her chest.

When the beggars said that there were endless leftovers, the homeless people said that when they were young, they had a home to return to, and there was land to plant, and there was no time for war.

The swordsman said that when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he was happy to take revenge, and when he became famous in the first battle, the general said that it was the moment to capture a certain city in Xu State.

When the girl said that her favorite lover came to propose, the old man said that when the grandson was born.

People often ask Ye Yu, when is your most alive?

Ye Yu said that it was when he wandered the world with a child.

Sadly, hungry beggars will have a full meal, and gamblers who have lost all their lives will have a day to turn their backs, and they will have a lot of joy left in their lives.

Ye Yu didn't, he was tired, and he wanted to give up looking for a box to house his soul.

He fell into a fog with the sound of water flowing in the fog, and he decided to give up here, so he opened the bag that the old monk had given him.

Ye Yu thought that no matter what was in the bag, he could be liberated and give up, but he was wrong.

The contents of the bag, which he couldn't read, were a palm-sized piece of burlap with a symbol written in ink.

A not-so-simple symbol, like a word, like a painting. In order to find out what was written on the sackcloth, he walked all day, and under the guidance of passers-by, he came to a temple where incense was burning.

The old monk of the temple told him that this was not a painting, it was a text, and it was Sanskrit in the Buddhist scriptures, so Ye Yu didn't recognize it.

This Sanskrit word translated into Chinese is "burn".

Ye Yu asked the old monk what this word meant, and why did the old monk let himself see the word "burn" before he could give up.

The old monk said, burning, that is, burning, burning into ashes.

Ye Yu didn't understand.

The old monk lit the burlap with a candle, and in a short time it burned cleanly.

"Enlightened?"

"Enlightened. ”

When Ye Yu walked out of the temple, he swore in his heart that there would never be a time to give up lightly.

He could imagine that the old monk must be moving forward as hard as himself in some corner of this world, with no destination and no hope, but he still would not give up, as he said, looking for it in order not to lose himself.

Hope is like a poison for addicts, as long as a little, even if you know that there is darkness ahead, at least at this moment, it is happy.

The person who gave Ye Yu a little bit of poison was a young swordsman.
