Chapter 111: Immortals Divergent Paths
"Really, senior brother, why are you protecting him, he slanders us so much. Hao Lei said angrily.
"It's just that those who don't know think we're not monks, but what kind of demons and monsters were. Cao Wan'er was also a little angry, but she didn't vent on mortals who didn't understand anything like Hao Lei.
"It's really strange that we have passed through so many towns along the way, and there are many mortals in the middle, and I have never seen them react so violently to us. Muwen scratched his head. He wasn't angry about such a trivial matter, but he just felt a little strange in his heart.
"Hehe, junior brothers and sisters of the Qinglan Sect, there is no need for you to be puzzled by this. Huo Sixian explained, "Villages and towns are completely different. Not only have you never been to any other village, but I'm afraid even your mortal relatives live in the town. ”
Hao Lei and the others nodded. It is true that these disciples of the Qinglan Sect really haven't come out of a place like the village.
Huo Sixian continued to explain after receiving an affirmative answer, "Then I can understand. The mortals who were able to live in the town were all mortals who had a certain understanding of cultivation, and they not only hoped that their children would be able to cultivate one day, but many of them were actually some people who failed to cultivate in the first place. So for them, although the monks are worthy of respect, it is only because of the great power of the monks. ”
"But, the mortals in the village are different. Most of them have a reserved attitude towards cultivation. They didn't expect their children to become monks in the future, as the people in the town did, even though they knew that monks had a high status in the cultivation realm. In their hearts, they disapprove of the monks, believing that they are not normal human beings, but given the strength of the monks themselves, they fear us far more than they respect us. ”
"Short-sighted. Hao Lei snorted softly, but after listening to Huo Sixian's explanation, she was not so angry.
"How does Senior Brother Huo know and how can he know clearly?" Jiang Xiaoya asked.
"Because my brother and I came out of the village. Huo Sixian smiled slightly, revealing a nostalgic look, "I remember when I was four years old, and I don't know where the monks came from to fight near our village. Although there is the power of cause and effect, those monks will not deliberately restrain their moves because of this, which is tantamount to asking for their own death. My village was destroyed in one of these battles by the moves of one of the monks, and they didn't even glance at it when they left, only with a look of regret. At that time, only my brother and I and a few friends survived because we were playing outside. ”
"We were terrified, fearing that the monks would come back and kill us together, so we hid in the rubble and shivered. Later, we met my master, who is the head of our Dongfu Sword Gate, the master is a very good person, he took us out of the ruins, because my brother and I are talented, the master also personally accepted us as apprentices and brought us back to the East Fu Sword Gate, as for the others, they were also arranged in the town under the jurisdiction of our Dongfu Sword Gate. ”
Listening to Huo Sixian's slow and logical words, Huo Sili also became a little serious, "Brother, do you remember Xiaoou?"
"Remember, he's probably the last person left in our village. ”
"Last month, he died, too. "When I saw him before, I noticed that his face was full of wrinkles, his teeth were gone, his legs were weak, and it was difficult to stand up. I also said that I would come back and find an elixir for him to see if it worked, but I didn't expect that within a few days, he was gone. ”
Huo Sili clenched his fists, somewhat similar to Cao Wan'er before, and he also seemed to have some problems with his mood.
Huo Sixian lightly put his hand on Huo Sili's fist, "It's normal for people to have life and death, how old is Xiao Ou, he has lived long enough for a mortal." Aren't we going to experience this day sooner or later?"
Although the experiences of the two brothers are almost the same, Huo Sixian has obviously seen through these things a long time ago, and it is only fitting for him to help Huo Sili at this time.
Unlike Cao Wan'er, the Huo family brothers don't need to experience the death of their elders, because they have already experienced it, and because of this, Huo Sili values his friends more seriously. Who would have imagined that the gentleman who usually ran rampant in Kuragi City had always behaved like a humble gentleman to his mortal friends, and was even more respected by them than Huo Sixian.
When the last friend finally passed away, Huo Sili also fell into the same situation as Cao Wan'er at that time, and could not escape from it.
Seeing Huo Sili's appearance, everyone also made some changes to him. I didn't expect him to have such an emotional side.
"I also understand that life and death have their own days. But ......," Horsley inhaled, "is Heaven really fair? ”
"Heaven is never fair. Huo Sixian said in a deep voice.
"Brother?"
"Brother, God has never been fair. I thought you would understand this truth when the whole village died and we survived, I thought you would understand when our brothers entered the Dongfu Sword Gate and Xiao Ou and they could only live like ordinary people, and I also thought that you would understand when there was a gap between you and my cultivation. But right now, you still don't understand anything. ”
"Huo Sixian, what are you talking about?" Huo Sixian was a little angry, this was the first time Huo Sixian said in front of him that there was a gap between the two of them.
"Heaven is fair? I don't know where you heard such a ridiculous truth, brother. Look at the people out there who respect but fear us, and have you tried to mingle with them until now? In their eyes, your image is no different from that of any other monk, and you are so respectable. ”
"Don't, don't say it. Hothley's face grew ugly.
But Huo Sixian obviously didn't mean to stop, "Respect for this kind of thing is mutual. Why is it that there are powerful monks in the town to protect their safety, but the monks have never cared about the lives of these villagers?"
"Because it sees us as monsters, and he sees us as talking monsters. Ignorant and incompetent mortals are always afraid of those who are more powerful than them, and they do not want to spend some energy to understand why those people are powerful, but they are just blindly cursing these powerful people. And we don't think about protecting such a group of people. ”
"The gap between mortals and monks is so great that it can't wake you up? ”
For a moment, there was a startling silence at the dinner table.
Luo Gan saw that the atmosphere was not very good, so he had to interject, "Mortals and mortals are the same, but monks and monks are different. Hothley, you are lucky to be a monk, and if you really can't see it, then take the faith of your friends and go out on your own path. ”
