The mottled wooden doors were open, the sunlight shone through the yellow trees on the old wooden houses topped with green tiles, the courtyard in front of the houses was sprinkled with dead leaves, and a few withered flowers and trees were on the side, everything looked lifeless.

An old man dressed in a gray robe, with a long gray beard reaching to his chest, and his long gray-white hair combed meticulously and wearing a scholar's scarf, held a broom and slowly swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Li Haoran, who looked indifferent, stepped through the wooden door and walked in.

The old man glanced up at Li Haoran and said, "Please sit inside for a while, and wait for the old man to clean up these fallen leaves." Hey, this tree was planted by my grandfather when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to die. The tree died, and its leaves withered and yellowed, and they kept falling day by day. ”

Li Haoran walked in silently and sat down on a low wooden floor next to each other under the eaves.

The sun was splashing, and the old man finally swept the entire courtyard, but behind what he swept was fallen leaves scattered in the courtyard.

The old man didn't pay attention to it, put the broom away, and then came to sit opposite Li Haoran, who was a little shorter, and beat his waist with a sigh of relief: "People are old, just move this old bone a few times, it will be sore and painful." ”

Li Haoran looked at him silently and did not speak.

The old man thought that Li Haoran was also a little distracted, so the old man didn't care, and said to himself: "It used to be very lively here, and many children studied here. Seeing them happy every day made me, an old man, very happy. But who knew that disaster would fall from the sky, and human life would wither away like mustard, making such a big city lifeless, and my place would become empty. However, all the cause and effect, life and death, and suffering and happiness in this world are difficult for us to escape from the beginning. If you accept your fate, you can live well and get more wonderful in your limited life. If you don't accept your fate, then you should live a good life, strive to break free from all kinds of shackles in this world, and gain physical and mental transcendence. ”

Li Haoran listened to the old man's words and still looked indifferent, and asked, "What is justice?"

A trace of astonishment flashed on the old man's face, and he stroked his long beard and thought for a while: "This world operates according to the inherent rules, there is no right or wrong in everything, and everything that runs according to the rules is 'the justice of heaven'." However, all things have animism, and under the interweaving of various desires, there is naturally a distinction between good and evil. The justice we often talk about is also 'human justice', and punishing evil and promoting good is generally the manifestation of 'human justice', and the final result of punishing evil and promoting good is to be fair and just. ”

At this point, the old man stopped.

Fairness and justice.

In this world, there are people who are born rich and enjoy the prosperity of the world, and there are people who are born poor and face countless hardships and hardships. Some people are born to cultivate immortals, understand the avenue of heaven and earth, think about the mysteries of the universe, and enjoy a long life. Some people are born as ordinary people, trapped in one place, trapped in one place, doing nothing in order to survive, spending their lives in chaos, and may be inadvertently killed by immortal cultivators.

Where is this fairness, where is justice, where is justice?

Of course, the old man would not say these words, so as not to make the young man in front of him even more desperate.

Li Haoran was silent for a while and then asked, "What is the right path?"

This time it was the turn of the old man to be silent, and he glanced at Li Haoran strangely and muttered: "The sages have a saying, 'Know the right way, think of no evil', although the good and evil in this world cannot be completely distinguished by mortals, but as long as you have good thoughts and do righteous things, it is the right way." ”

The sun is fading, and the dead leaves are drifting.

Li Haoran got up silently, bowed to the old man, and then walked outside.

The old man looked at Li Haoran's figure and stroked his long beard and sighed: "It's also a poor person, it must have been a lot of desperate things to become like this, and then there were doubts and anger in my heart about this heaven and earth, so I asked what is justice and what is the right way like a walking corpse." But how can an old man and a layman fully understand how the rules of this world are defined?"

Li Haoran walked to the street, stopped, was silent for a while, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes and walked towards a street.

Walking through an alley, Li Haoran stood in front of a door, the door opened silently, and Li Haoran walked in silently.

A slightly obscene man's voice came: "What are you hiding? Anyway, your father-in-law is dead, and we may die soon." You should be happy and happy while you are alive now, don't worry, Brother Ting, I will definitely love you well and ensure that you are comfortable. ”

Then another cacophony came.

Li Haoran continued to move forward, the door opened, and a man on the side of the bed in the room kept tearing a woman's clothes. The woman's eyes were hollow and instinctively evaded, and her hands were tightly protected in front of her.

The glint in Li Haoran's eyes flowed, but it quickly faded away.

Li Haoran walked behind the man, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him and threw him into the corner of the room.

"Bang!"

The man slammed against the wall, lay on the ground in pain, looked at Li Haoran standing in the room, and asked with some horror, "Who are you? Why did you beat me?" ”

Li Haoran glanced at the woman curled up in the corner of the bed looking at him with vacant eyes, and then walked towards the man.

Silently, he lifted himself up with one hand.

The man had already realized that he was far from being Li Haoran's opponent, so seeing Li Haoran walking over with an expressionless face, the man couldn't help but hide in fear in the corner, even if there was no way to retreat, but such an action could give him a little sense of security.

Li Haoran walked over and slapped the man in the face with a wave of his hand.

"Smack!"

The man's head was tilted to one side, and a tooth fell to the ground mixed with blood.

Li Haoran was silent, and continued to wave his palm.

"Smack!"

The man's head was tilted back, and another tooth mixed with a large amount of blood was scattered on the ground.

"Smack......

The man suddenly cried loudly, and took advantage of Li Haoran's wave of his palm to say vaguely and crying: "I was wrong, I was wrong." Don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore...... Woo, woo......"

Li Haoran stopped and turned his head to look at the woman on the bed, and the woman was also looking at this side at this time, with a hint of doubt in her empty eyes.

Li Haoran paused for a moment, then walked to the man and lifted it up and threw it out of the house, the man suddenly understood, and struggled to crawl and ran outside.

Only Li Haoran and the woman were left in the room, the woman looked at Li Haoran, then looked down at the messy clothes on her body, and couldn't help but pull up the quilt to cover the snow-white skin exposed through the clothes, and there was a faint trace of tears in her eyes.

Li Haoran left in silence, the sky outside was already dark, and a faint ray of daylight left the last brilliance in the sky.

Darkness fell, and a woman's whimper came from the room, then to sobbing, and finally to a howl.
