Prince's Mansion, garden pavilion.

Li Qinglin and Qin Yi sat opposite each other on the stone table, the sky was already dark, the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, the breeze was blowing, and the garden was fragrant.

There was no one to serve on the left and right, Li Qinglin personally warmed the wine, and looked at the small stove by the pavilion swaying lightly, a little distracted.

Qin Yi looked at him for a long time, and really felt that this was a super contradictory person, and his perception was extremely complicated. In fact, he could see that some of Li Qinglin's gestures were not for show, just like he warmed the wine with his own hands at the moment, and he was by no means pretending to be a corporal of Lixian, because there was no need, what kind of perception could it affect if he let a maid warm the wine? On the contrary, since he met, he has been like this with his own food and clothing, not like a prince, and in many cases it always makes Qin Yi feel more like a warrior, or a pure warrior.

But such a warrior has done a lot of things that only cold-blooded politicians do.

"Don't look at me all the time. Li Qinglin suddenly smiled: "Although I have a somewhat similar face to Qingjun, I am not a woman pretending to be a man." ”

Qin Yi was also amused to laugh: "You rarely joke. ”

"I said it, because I don't have that much energy. If I'm still dreaming like Qingjun, then I'll like to joke too. Li Qinglin said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to smile every day? ”

"Then ...... you" Qin Yi pondered for a moment, and still asked, "Why did you choose such a taste?"

"People always have to have an ideal and move forward for it, otherwise what is the use of going with the flow and living numbly all their lives?"

Qin Yi was stunned, and remembered that the tassel said something similar to what was the use of being alive during the banquet, but the two had completely different views. What is the use of living if you think you can't have unfettered thoughts?

I thought that Tassel would make some comment on this, but the stick was quiet and did not react.

Li Qinglin said again: "What ambition does Brother Qin have? Wander leisurely in the forest, pine and bamboo as friends, not involved in the hustle and bustle of the world, and feel free and free?"

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

Li Qinglin smiled: "Although the ambitions are different, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, this is a noble person." The most afraid is that he has a hard life, but he comforts himself that he is ordinary and precious, and this fool is also. ”

Qin Yi's face was a little hot, and he felt as if he was the latter......

But I also know why the tassel doesn't comment, because in fact, what the tassel said has no conflict with Li Qinglin, in essence, it is all about having an ideal and pursuit, the essence is the same, and there is nothing to fight about if everyone pursues differently.

On the contrary, he Qin Yi thought that he was born quietly, but he was actually a salted fish...... Because he didn't know what he was pursuing, even if he had pretended to tell Li Qingjun that he wanted to know what he was pursuing, he didn't know it.

He finally opened his mouth and asked, "Then what is Brother Li's ambition?

"Heh......" Li Qinglin smiled dumbly, didn't answer immediately, slowly extinguished the fire, lifted the wine jug and added a glass of wine to Qin Yi, as if he was also sorting out the language.

Qin Yi didn't rush either, and looked at him quietly.

"Brother Qin is a native of Nanli, and he is still a pharmacist. Li Qinglin took the wine glass and looked at the wine in the glass intently, "Nanli in your eyes, is it a patient?"

"Hmm......" Qin Yi sighed: "Count." ”

"My father is dedicated to the Tao, and he has no intention of state affairs, and even the news of the invasion of the Western Wilderness is not as important as his service to Danhua. Li Qinglin said slowly: "In state affairs, it is better to listen to the nonsense of demons than to listen to loyal and good ministers, and even better than to listen to my son." The southeast earthquake was not the first to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief, but to go to the altar first; the invasion of the enemy country was not to fight the army and horses, but to pray to the sky. ”

Qin Yi was silent.

"So it is with the king, and even more so with the subjects. Above the court, Donghua is in the knot, slapping horses, no one is doing business, and everyone learns the Tao. There are people who dare to wear Taoist robes to the court, but my father not only did not think it was wrong, but also wore it himself, which was like a joke. Li Qinglin laughed and said: "In the rivers and lakes, demons are rampant, and everyone does not respect the king and worships Taoism." The production of every family is wasted, the husband and wife are clean, the house is not harmonious, and even the population has dropped. Brother Qin, this country is not just sick, but a terminal illness that can kill you. ”

Qin Yi nodded slowly, he didn't know much about the national economy and people's livelihood, but Li Qinglin was obviously true when he said this, if this was the case, the country would really come to an end.

"When did all this begin? It was when my father listened to Donghua and began to ask about immortality, which was the crux of everything. Li Qinglin said: "I have also admonished, and I have also formed gangs, framed and framed, trying to knock Donghuazi off power from the political level, but it is useless, I am just a second prince, and political capital is not enough." ”

Speaking of which, he finally drank all the wine that he had been drinking for a long time.

Qin Yi raised his head and looked directly into Li Qinglin's eyes.

"I asked Yeling to assassinate the eldest brother. Li Qinglin said calmly: "He is favored by his father and is also cultivating, so forget it." But he shouldn't have brought this wind to the army, that was the last bottom line for me to leave the south. Since then, I have suddenly thought that in addition to him, I will be the prince myself, and maybe there will be salvation. Yes, I want this power, and if I am not in this position, I will not be able to save Nanli. ”

Qin Yi sighed softly and silently drank the wine in his glass.

Tassel suddenly spoke: "You ask him, if there is really an immortal method in the world, what will he think." ”

Qin Yi asked. Li Qinglin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother Qin himself is a Fang Shi, he must believe this, no wonder he asks this question...... But as I said, demons and monsters have empirical evidence, immortality is just a rumor, how many emperors have pursued this way, and no one has lived forever, I don't believe this. ”

Qin Yi insisted: "I mean if, if there really is." ”

Li Qinglin shook his head: "I am a prince, this is my country. My responsibility is to let the people live in peace, the country is strong, the life is rich inside, the outside can resist the foreign captives, if I can, I can open up the territory and shock the world, then let me die immediately and not live in vain. What is the use of being immortal, without their own responsibilities and forgetting their own ambitions, the flies and dogs live for 10,000 years, and they are just a walking corpse. ”

Tassel chuckled softly: "Interesting people." But he didn't let Qin Yi continue to ask again.

Instead, Li Qinglin asked Qin Yi: "Brother Qin, I haven't listened to you tell stories recently, but your Journey to the West, I still listened to Yeling intermittently relay some of it, and the ending must be to obtain the true scriptures and become Buddhas?"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Each has its own duties, but Tang Seng and Wukong have become Buddhas." ”

"So...... I have a doubt, I wonder if Brother Qin can answer it?"

"What's confused?"

"The story of the six-eared macaque......" Li Qinglin said slowly: "The one who was killed, is it the six-eared macaque or the Monkey King?"

Qin Yi's heart jumped, and his eyes widened in surprise.

This stalk was indeed mentioned, but he never thought that Li Qinglin, who had listened to some clips intermittently, would actually think so, you wouldn't wear it back, right?

"Why are you so confused?"

"After the incident of six ears, Sun Wukong's actions were judged to be like two people, and they no longer had wildness, so they were confused. I always wonder if the real Monkey King has been killed in this battle, and it was the six-eared macaque who took his place to learn the scriptures. ”

Qin Yi had to explain: "That's not the story I made up, there is indeed an original work, and the titles of these chapters of the original work clearly indicate the heart ape, so in general interpretation, it is believed that the so-called six-eared macaque is actually the heart ape of Sun Wukong himself, and after being removed, the wildness will be accepted." ”

Li Qinglin silently poured the wine and drank it all.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yiqi said, "Is there anything wrong with this plot?"

Li Qinglin said lightly: "I would rather believe that the Great Sage is dead, than accept that Monkey King who swept the heavens and the earth with a stick crossed his knees and lived as a Buddha for eternity." ”
