Chapter 17: Post-War Summary
Pan Long actually didn't fly far, so he flew out for more than ten miles, and he found a high mountain to fall down.
The middle and upper reaches of the Tongtian River are full of mountains, and it is easy to find a high mountain. Falling from the sky to the mountain, it is not conspicuous at all.
He found a relatively open place to sit down, and the first thing he did was to enter the Classic of Mountains and Seas and check his situation.
In the battle just now, when he was wrapped in the blood river, there was a blue and yellow qi on his body, which not only blocked the erosion of the blood river, but also ignited the true qi that was originally compressed to the extreme, turning it into a raging flame.
The flames weren't warm, they were just blindingly bright. Not to mention the enemy, even he himself was a little unable to open his eyes due to the bright light.
In this strong light, he clearly felt the veins of the flow of heaven and earth's vitality, and even more felt what the nine-headed monster bird that manifested the evil intent of the demon knife meant - it was actually the last resentment in the hearts of those people of the Ma family who were sacrificed to the demon knife by blood.
Pan Long thought that the people's resentment was directed towards their murderer, but he was wrong. The resentment of these people is not the middle-aged man who killed them and used them as sacrifices, but everyone.
As long as they are alive, they resent it. If this person lives well, lives happily and contentedly, and lives with his head held high, they will be so resentful that they will itch their teeth, and they will kill all other people's families, and make their families as unlucky as they are.
As for the resentment against the murderer, it is very weak and hardly worth mentioning.
"This family is simply crazy!" At that time, Pan Long couldn't help but scold.
After scolding, he used the sudden rise of green and yellow qi to guide the light flame to entangle the nine-headed bird and rush towards the sky.
No matter what kind of evil is in the sun, it will be weakened and even purified under the sun. When the sunlight and light flames and the green and yellow qi were all at the same time, no matter how crazy the resentment was, it was still defeated in a short period of time, and finally purified.
After purifying the evil thoughts of the magic knife, Pan Long left straight away and did not return to the "Good Village with People".
He has also seen the golden basin handwashing ceremony, he has saved people, he has done everything that needs to be done, what will he do again? Waiting to receive people's cheers and thanks?
Not necessarily.
Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. If you are mixed with the rivers and lakes, it is enough to leave a font size, and the rest of the things are redundant.
But he didn't go too far, one was to hurry up and check his situation, and the other was ...... Intuition told him that the fate of the Liu family and him was not all over.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he carefully examined himself and found that there was no resentment on his body. The evil thoughts of the magic knife have indeed been purified, and the blood that was splashed on the body during the fierce battle in the blood river before has also been purified, and there is no remnant.
This made him relieved, and he was not in a hurry to return to the world, so he sat down and reflected on today's incident.
He thought about it and felt that he had generally done a good job today, and the only problem was that he was a little late.
If he could stand up as soon as possible, maybe the magic knife wouldn't have a chance to grow slowly, and the last few attacks might not be so dangerous.
Of course, he himself was not dangerous, it was the guests who were watching the battle.
He was in the sky just now, and when he was leaving, he glanced at the ground and saw at least five or six hundred people lying on the ground, more than one of them covered in blood. These people are not strong enough, and they have already been injured and even passed out in a coma just because they were infected by the evil qi of the magic sword.
How many of them will be so badly injured that they will have sequelae, and how many will die as a result? He couldn't tell.
"Alas, the clash of masters is really too dangerous!"
He couldn't help but sigh.
Neither he nor the magic knife are really "masters" - if the Kyushu world wants to be truly called a "master", he generally has to step into the realm of real people.
For example, Li Wu, the captain of the Fenwu school in Yumen City, Ren Changsheng, the ancestor of the Ren family, Shi Di Luonan, the emperor of the world, and Wang Jing, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang...... These are the real masters. Their own existence was enough for the Great Xia Imperial Court to pay attention to it and make special arrangements for them. Even each of them, as long as they are willing, can stir up the storm at any time and make a big news with wide implications.
What is a master? This is a master!
The big husband should be like this!
As for Bi Lingkong...... That level is too high, it can make all kinds of demon gods besiege, and even dozens of Daxia Dynasty canonized the city god land on the surface neutrally and secretly help those demon gods to restrain her, just one person can cause such a big trouble, the level is so high that he has nothing to say, which makes him extremely envious.
Everyone is a thief, but he, a thief, needs to hide his identity, lest he be accidentally exposed and cause death.
But Bi Lingkong didn't hide it at all, swaggering around without saying anything, and often openly spread anti-Daxia court remarks, and even helped the poor people of Yunzhou resist taxes and labor more than once, which was simply confirming his identity as an anti-thief.
She never even hid her assassination of Zhao Sheng, the Emperor of Great Xia Taizu!
But what did the Great Xia court dare to do to her?
Can't.
They didn't even dare to mention Bi Lingkong's assassination of Emperor Jiazi, pretending to be deaf and dumb. Even when the Yunzhou demon gods joined forces to besiege Bi Lingkong under the call of the two dragon gods of the East China Sea, they didn't dare to support the Yunzhou demon gods openly, so they could only secretly rub Bi Lingkong into a little stumbling.
Why is that?
Because Bi Lingkong is very strong!
She was strong enough to make the behemoth of the Great Xia Dynasty bow its head and compromise with her in a self-deceptive way.
This is the power of the strong, this is the deterrence of the strong!
This is the majesty of the No. 1 demon god in Kyushu!
Pan Long felt that even if he cultivated into an adult life in the future, he would most likely not have the majesty of Bi Lingkong.
...... With his character, if he develops to the point of assassinating the Great Xia Emperor, he must definitely pursue the success of the assassination, and ensure that the Great Xia Dynasty will collapse quickly after the successful assassination, and no one will be able to entangle people from all walks of life in Kyushu to come to him for trouble.
As far as he knew, Bi Lingkong had encountered the Great Xia Dynasty gathering Kyushu masters to besiege and kill him more than once.
As for the results of the siege...... Just look at the current cowardice of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Alas, if I also have the ability to be a teacher, in today's situation, where is there such a trouble, where will so many people be implicated!"
Pan Long pondered, if the teacher was here, in this case, she might not have to make a move, her eyes glared, and the magic knife directly rotated three thousand six hundred degrees on the spot, turned herself out of a ball of lotus flowers, and finally obediently exploded into a bright red firework, and the right to congratulate Old Man Liu on his birthday.
...... No, if the teacher is here, then where does the magic knife dare to come!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, feeling that he might have lost the face of his teacher, and even the face of the Confucian heirs.
Confucianism is also a force that needs Emperor Jiazi to personally preside over the encirclement and suppression, and it is also a sect with a few immortals and Buddhas, dozens of real masters, and even several demon gods......
As a result, the years went by, and when it came to him, killing a magic knife led to the death of a group of onlookers, which really made him a little ashamed.
This hurts the purpose of Confucianism's "benevolence".
Bi Lingkong once told him about the purpose of Confucianism, and she said this at the time: "The core purpose of our Confucianism is nothing more than five words, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, faith and courage." In these five words, 'benevolence' and 'propriety' are the foundations, which are the core of all Confucian thoughts. ”
According to Wen Chao's statement back then, benevolence is our pursuit of ourselves, and etiquette is our pursuit of society...... These are too far away, and 'courtesy' or something, anyway, I don't think it will work, so I'll just briefly talk to you about 'benevolence'. ”
"The Master said back then, what is benevolence? I don't think his idea is right, benevolence is benevolence, and it shouldn't be bound by etiquette. It's not that my approach is not in line with etiquette, and it is unkind...... It's not right, it doesn't make sense. ”
"I have analyzed everyone's practices over the years, and coupled with my own reflection, I feel that the so-called benevolence is to kill those things that get in the way. What does it mean that you have to carry two knives in your hand, and cut them from east to west and from south to north, and hack to death all the guys you feel unkind, so the rest are all benevolent people. ”
In this way, the world is naturally peaceful and the ideal world of Datong. ”
At that time, she may have drunk too much, and she danced as she spoke: "The master said back then, if everyone restrains themselves, they will all be benevolent, and the world will be in harmony." But how can those unkind people restrain themselves? In the end, they don't have to get up and drop their knives, at most they save face for him, they just hang on the city tower and swing, and don't chop them up and feed them to the dogs. ”
"When we established Confucianism, wasn't that the same method we used? It's good, it's easy to execute, and it works. When the master was caught, they all felt that this person should be allowed to serve his sentence to atone for his crimes, but it was not that he shouted, 'The way of a gentleman, you should repay your grievances directly', saying that he wanted to give King Tianlu a fair, just and open trial...... When he checked the law and found that the king only had to punish those who had bad ideas for the king, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. ”
"What happened later?" Pan Long asked curiously.
"Later, he muttered, 'This is not the way', and threw the law book into the hearth and burned it, took a few bamboo slips himself, and wrote a temporary 'Those who violate the law, all people, will be guilty of the same crime', and then sentenced King Tianlu to hanging...... The rope of hanging was still made by him by gathering people who were willing to accuse the king of Tianlu, and everyone made it together. ”
Pan Long was deeply impressed by this passage. From Bi Lingkong's teachings, he roughly summed up that the "benevolence" of Confucianism is that once a bad guy is discovered, as long as his ability allows, don't talk nonsense, just cut him into two pieces with a knife.
After all, the contemporary word "benevolence" is not "person two".
What is "human two"? It means to cut the enemy into two parts!
"I should have rushed out directly, don't talk nonsense, the cicada wing knife was unsheathed, and he was directly cut into four pieces with a knife, and it was over. He muttered to himself, but shook his head again, "No, the cicada wing knife can't see the light, and the revenge knife is not very suitable...... Or can you use the Divine Long Knife? That knife is a little worse quality, I'm afraid it won't be able to cut the magic knife......"
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a plan.
When the Shan Hai Jing is filled with enough aura this time, he will find a world that is good at producing or transforming weapons, and transform the Divine Long Knife.
There is no need to spend a lot of time in that world, just to transform it and prepare a suitable weapon for the identity of "Pan Long".
The evil destroying properties of the Divine Long Knife are very useful, and this knife has a soft white light when it is unsheathed, so you can see that it is used by righteous men and gentlemen, and it is very suitable for brushing prestige.
Just like this situation, if he faced the magic knife, he smiled slightly, and pulled out a knife that emitted holy light, it was simply a stark contrast, everyone knew at a glance that he was a good person, and there was no need to say anything about the scene.
"Okay, I'm going to write it down. ”
The last question is about the two qi of green and yellow.
Pan Long already knows the origin of the two qi of green and yellow, the merit of heaven and the virtue of the earth, and if one person can promote the development of the whole world in the direction of order and prosperity, he will get the green qi that symbolizes the "merit of the heavens"; if he brings benefits to many people, so that everyone is grateful and praises him, he can get the yellow qi that symbolizes the "merit of the earth".
Generally speaking, if a person can really help the whole world for the better, most of them will gain the merits of heaven and earth together – just like him.
As for whether the world is real or not, he still can't be sure.
He didn't tell Bi Lingkong about the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Bi Lingkong never asked, and even when he wanted to discuss his merits, Bi Lingkong only told him about the benefits of merit and some ways to use merit, not only did he not ask him about the origin of his merits, but even told him to keep it secret and not tell anyone else.
Wen Chao knew that he was pregnant with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he also talked about his merits in the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. But Wen Chao doesn't value merit - although in fact the "Wen Chao" he knows is actually just an intelligent AI, barely a shadow left by the real Wen Chao, but this Wen Chao's idea is quite humane.
"Merit or something, what's the use?" Wen Chao said disdainfully at that time, "If you see a good person, you will help him, and if you see a bad person, you will punish him." You don't care if he has merit or not! You don't care what others think and say about it! In life, it is enough to take care of yourself and do a good job of yourself. 'Living' is a very difficult thing, where do we have the spare energy to worry about this and think about that?"
I believe that most of the Wen Chao back then thought so......
