Chapter 139: People's Hearts Are Like Demons (Part II)
Kill him...... It's this demon who harms us!"
"What kind of natural and man-made disasters are there? Even if there is, it's brought by him, a monster!"
"Yes! Kill him......"
The people under the gallows scolded Xiao Duxue with all kinds of foul language, and also blamed him for the disadvantages of the past years and the tyranny of the officials.
It's all because he had an affair with a demon...... Or in the eyes of people, he is a demon.
Mo Wunian was silent, Huai Nanzi figured out everything, in this Liang country, Xiao Duxue was branded as a demon, which diverted everyone's attention very well, and all the sins belonged to him.
but also invisibly made a stand-in puppet for those who really had ill intentions.
From this, he thought of himself again, the demon does not distinguish between good and evil, and why are people puppets and executioners? He couldn't understand this question, the contradiction between the human race and the demon race has been going on for a long time.
Compared to the inherent concepts of the entire world, he is only the most insignificant person in the cultivation world, and he is not worth talking about. He couldn't think of the deep-seated problem, and he didn't dare to think about it.
Looking at Mo Wunian again, looking at his indifferent expression, Huai Nanzi felt that his expression was more like an expression that would only be revealed after seeing through the essence of some things, but it was just ...... He or Mo Wunian should also be a small person.
"You...... Shouldn't I be all a little person? Why should I understand some strange truths? Thinking about it, he also asked.
Mo Wunian replied: "Then tell me what a big man is? Big people haven't even thought of what you think of, what kind of big people are they? And the bigger the big guys, the more rotten their heads become, and some truths that should have been the truth have become crooked reasoning to them."
Huai Nanzi listened to it and wanted to refute, but in the end, all the words he thought about had to turn into a sigh.
Mo Wunian's words were too shocking, even Niu Hong felt that it was so when he heard it, such remarks were not pleasing to the human race or the demon race, but after ten years of his experience, his words now sounded inexplicably golden and jade good words, and there was a certain amount of truth.
For example, pedantic little people will grow into big people with pedantic ideas as beliefs, and then teach these ideas to small people, it is naturally easy for small people to change their minds, but it is almost impossible for big people to change.
It's just that who instilled the idea of the big man in the beginning? The big man was preceded by the little man, and the little man was preceded by the big man......
Huai Nanzi felt that this question was comparable to the chicken or the egg first, but it was very different, and there was always an answer if he thought about it carefully, but even if he basically thought about it, he couldn't do anything as a small person.
"What kind of big shot do you want to be?"
"I am who I am, and I don't want to be anyone. ”
He felt that Mo Wunian should know the answer, but Mo Wunian replied to him without thinking about it.
Huai Nanzi felt that this person was a little strange, but he didn't say anything more.
His thoughts were pulled back to his eyes, and he was interested in the things he had never cared about in the past and had watched about Xiao Duxue and Bai Ruyu for ten years. didn't wait for others to say it, he was also about to show up for Xiao Duxue to ask for justice and come back.
But I saw a handsome man dressed in white and fluttering clothes under the gallows, he walked without hurrying or slow, and he succeeded in attracting everyone's attention without deliberately publicizing it.
Not to mention his appearance, his earthly aura is too difficult to hide and incompatible with the crowd.
"I'm the demon you say you call you. There are mediocre emperors from generation to generation, but virtuous emperors are hard to find. Don't embarrass your prince...... I'll die, he'll live!" he said to the crowd as he walked up to the gallows.
The people in the palace knew that the crown prince Xiao Duxue was talking to a monster every night, but they didn't know what kind of monster it was a man or a woman, and what kind of monster it was. Fortunately, because of these, Bai Ruyu escaped.
It's just that...... Although he is a demon clan, he also remembers the kindness of people.
I especially remember that fifteen years ago, the whole country of Liang caught up with the drought, and there was not even a drop of rain in the past three years, even the water in the lotus pond in the Chengqian Palace in the imperial city dried up.
At that time, he had just cultivated his spiritual wisdom, and because he had been accustomed to hearing the sound of the princes of the past few hundred years reading and discussing the government, he was not only full of wealth, but also quite familiar with the way of government affairs.
But as soon as he cultivated his spiritual wisdom, he was about to face the danger of drying up and dying.
Fortunately, although the seventeenth prince is young, he has a natural temperament of loving lotus, and he got a small kettle, and fixed his white body every day, so that he was able to survive.
After the most difficult period, he began to teach him to read and write, teach him how to govern the country, and after ten years, their relationship was both teacher and friend.
"Bai Ruyu, who asked you to come? Let this prince go!"
"It's all my fault as a lotus demon...... It doesn't have much to do with your crown prince Xiao Duxue. ”
In the absence of anyone to speak for him, Bai Ruyu was naturally moved to come out and speak for him, but after a short period of joy, he was more angry!
He may live, but he also knows the world's prejudice against demons, and Bai Ruyu will not escape death.
And he also knew that the white jade demon body had not yet been formed, and under the scorching sun, it would be like his body being exposed to water sooner or later, and he would dry up and die.
The people were simple-minded and didn't think too much about it, and when they saw Bai Ruyu, they turned into a white lotus out of thin air and burned in the air, although they were surprised and slightly panicked in their hearts, they didn't hurt Xiao Duxue with bad words.
The white lotus burns, but there is also a faint fragrance wafting up, filling the air, which also seems to awaken the conscience of the people.
"Let the prince go...... He must have been bewitched by the Lotus Demon!"
Finally, someone remembered Xiao Duxue's wisdom and remembered all his good things.
But as soon as the next words came out, the most unhappy were those Xiao Duxue's royal brothers.
Huai Nanzi couldn't stand it anymore, but before he could make a move, Mo Wunian took a step ahead of him, he pointed in the air, and the sky immediately changed and the clouds were black and oppressive, and it rained.
Boom! boom......
There was even more thunder, flashing a few thunderbolts, but this thunder was not impartial, but it also happened to split on the bodies of those princes.
Without looking again, Mo Wunian turned around and left, and the group followed closely behind him.
No one asked Bai Ruyu and Xiao Duxue what would happen in the future, but Xiao Duxue should also be a wise monarch, and Bai Ruyu should be a minister who would secretly offer him a clever plan.
There is really not much need to stay, what Mo Wunian wants Huai Nanzi to understand, he already understands.
"Fellow Daoist...... Let Huai understand the truth that he has not known in the past hundreds of years!" After thinking for a long time, Huai Nanzi sincerely saluted Mo Wunian.
......
After staying in the capital of Liang for a few more days, the group was about to set off again, and Huai Nanzi also had to say goodbye to Mo Wunian and leave.
But Mo Wunian didn't let him go directly, but had something to ask him to do.
As for what...... He didn't say anything, but looked at the son surnamed Li.
Being watched by Mo Wunian like this, he also knew what he was going to say, in the past ten years, he had begged him more than once to accept him as an apprentice and teach him the cultivation method, but Mo Wunian had also told him several times that he had no cultivation posture.
Now, of course, he also knew what Mo Wunian was going to say, and he had heard these words several times.
It's just that...... Was that the reason he was staying here in the first place?
Ten years have passed, and she is still the same as always, still the simple and innocent girl in the town back then. What about him? The cynicism has not changed, but his appearance is no longer young.
Over the years, he had known her identity.
The years he had spent with her had cost him ten years. A person can live for a maximum of 100 years, and how many decades can he accompany her?
"Master Mo...... If you don't say it, I know it. It's time for me to go back...... It's time to go back to my home. He said to Mo Wunian with ease, but he had a look of lost soul.
Then he said to Xiaohu: "Xiaolian, I'm leaving...... You're going to come back to see me, right?".
"Yes. Xiaohu didn't think much about it, just nodded, and in her opinion, it was just this stunned boy who was joking with her.
Because he does it a lot on weekdays.
She didn't understand what he meant by going home, so she thought that she would just stay at home for a while, and then we would meet again on a trip.
The son surnamed Li was satisfied when he heard this, but his expression was also gloomy.
Mo Wunian looked at him, but he also seemed to know what he was thinking: "There are some things that you have forgotten...... I can't teach you magic, but there are some things I can teach you. ”。
He pointed at the son surnamed Li, and he fell asleep.
With this finger, Mo Wunian also used a dream technique on him, and would modify his content in the past ten years in the form of a dream.
"Then there will be a fellow Daoist of Lao Huai to give him a ride. Mo Wunian said to Huai Nanzi, and told the location of the son's family surnamed Li.
"What Mo Daoyou said, Huai will definitely do it. Huai Nanzi bowed back to him, and looked at the son surnamed Li at his feet, and he was also embarrassed, he sympathized with him.
But as Mo Wunian said, he didn't have the slightest cultivation qualification, and he couldn't help him much.
Huai Nanzi took the son surnamed Li in one hand and left in the air.
......
In a remote town in Qi Kingdom, the only son of the rich man's family who had disappeared for many years suddenly came back, and the old lady Li wanted to beat and scold him when he saw him, but he also expected that he had suffered for ten years, so he eliminated these thoughts again, and only asked him what he had done in the past ten years.
Li Gongzi remembered that he walked home on foot, but his head was dizzy but he couldn't remember anything.
After thinking for a while, he also recalled the events of the past ten years: "I met Mr. Kuroko, and as his student for ten years, he traveled all over the scenery of Qi and neighboring countries. ”
Thinking of the experience of the past ten years, he only feels fantastic and incredible.
Early that morning, he went out into the street and met an old man with fairy bones, and then accepted him as his student.
