Chapter 50 Living in Purgatory
"Delicious?"
Nian Chen's face showed doubts, and his big eyes flickered as he stared at the three jade fruits in his arms. The rich aroma, just one sniff can feel the whole body soothing, the rich aura and medicinal power into a white mist on it, wonderful, anyone can see that this thing is extraordinary.
She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't hold back the desire in her heart and couldn't take her eyes off.
Seeing this, Lu Chen suddenly smiled.
"Eat obediently, a good boy can't be a picky eater. ”
"Nianchen is not a picky eater..."
Hearing this, Nianchen grunted, and couldn't help laughing again. She was only six or seven years old, but she was very sensible and intelligent, and she had already guessed that Lu Chen would say this in order to make her accept.
She smiled sweetly, and suddenly leaned up and kissed Lu Chen's mask, and her little face turned red.
"Thank you, big brother. ”
Lu Chen was stunned, his heart fluttered slightly, as if he really wanted to be melted by this simple and clear appearance.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Nianchen's hair again, urging her to eat quickly.
Nianchen responded obediently, and then took a jade fruit and bit it. The fragrant juice suddenly exploded, splashing her face, her eyes narrowed, she made a satisfied sound, and sent the jade fruit in her hand to Lu Chen.
"It's sweet, and it feels warm. Big brother, you eat too!"
"You eat, big brother has. ”
Lu Chen shook his head slightly and shook the emerald leaf token in his hand
Seeing this, Nianchen no longer hesitated, and devoured the two jade fruits in his stomach. However, the last jade fruit, she only looked at it, and did not continue to eat it.
"Why don't you eat it?"
When Lu Chen saw her appearance, he was puzzled, so he asked.
"Nianchen is full, this fruit is kept for grandpa. ”
Nianchen pursed the corners of his lips, stuffed the jade fruit into his arms, and sent the bun to Lu Chen.
"Big brother, your buns. ”
Lu Chen opened his mouth, smiled helplessly, and could only take the bun.
"Xiao Nianchen, you don't have to wait for grandpa, these three fruits are all Xiao Nianchen's. ”
As he spoke, Lu Chen picked up his fingertips, and the fruit suddenly jumped out of her clothes and was caught by him.
"And the big brother has a lot of fruit here, and grandpa also saved the big brother, and the big brother will naturally not forget grandpa. ”
"Really?"
Nianchen's big eyes lit up, and after getting Lu Chen's affirmation, he took the fruit and ate it with confidence.
There was a smile on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, but his eyes were deep. That's all he can do.
The three jade fruits all entered Nianchen's stomach, and after eating, she suddenly rubbed her eyes, only muttered, and fell asleep deeply. Lu Chen's face was calm, not surprised, he only reached out to catch the fallen Nianchen, and then put her on the bed.
Nianchen's body is delicate, and she hasn't eaten anything for two days, and suddenly eating too much will cause great damage to her body. This jade fruit is a kind of elixir, which can warm people's bodies, and also has the effect of calming the nerves, which is most suitable for Nianchen's current situation, and it is also selected from many elixir and strange herbs after Lu Chen asked the Linglong Treasure Tree.
Looking at Nian Chen, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, Lu Chen suddenly gritted his teeth, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Renjia...
"I didn't expect it to fall on the territory of the Ren family. ”
He covered Nian Chen with a quilt and turned to walk out of the room.
Here, it belongs to the village outside the city, and the surrounding houses are very dilapidated and dense, and people's lives are not satisfactory. In the distance, there is a city wall like a sleeping dragon, which completely isolates the prosperity of the interior from the decay of the outside, and from here you can clearly see that there are palaces and pavilions in the city suspended in the air, a brilliant scene, which forms a sharp contrast with the village outside the city.
In the city, there are monks.
Outside the city, there are mortals.
Such a distinction...
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, could he not figure out why monks must be able to live comfortably, while mortals must be bullied and suppressed? However, how can ordinary people, who are in a family of hardships, who are tired of running around every day to make a living, can temper their physical bodies and become spiritual sons? Without proper cultivation methods, how can they enter the stage and become monks?
Talent is innate and cannot be changed, but if it is not a waste body, you can become a monk, but the speed of cultivation is just slow. But many more people are unable to become monks because they can't get the opportunity to cultivate.
Could it be that the family of misery should work hard all their lives to survive?
They don't have a suitable cultivation method, and they can't get a suitable cultivation method, so they can only be mortal disciples for a lifetime, and at most they are spiritual sons. What about Lingzi, he is not the lowest level of existence in this world. If you have no support, you will have to endure oppression every day, dare not resist, and exhaust all your strength just to live.
What about monks, do they have the opportunity to become monks, and they can bully those who don't have the opportunity at will?
Lu Chen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know why this world was like this.
There are thousands of forces in the world, and there are thousands of cultivators, but they all cherish themselves. Just like the two rituals of the Liangyi Gate, even if Lu Chen gets it, he can't teach it to others. Why? It's because the Liangyi Gate doesn't allow the Liangyi Dharma to spread. If the Liangyi Gate learns that outsiders have practiced the Liangyi Law, they will inevitably be killed.
"If I declare the Liangyi Law to the world, can it be that the Liangyi Gate can still kill all the living beings in the world?"
Lu Chen was ruthless in his heart, and wanted to directly shout out the Liangyi Law and give more people a chance to practice. However, as long as he thought about it, he suddenly had a throbbing in his heart, and some kind of inexplicable threat appeared. If you really forcibly shout out, you will die without a place to be buried!
"Forbidden!"
Lu Chen opened his mouth, he already knew in his heart, and he was helpless.
In the end, he only sighed lightly and smiled bitterly.
"Little brother, are you okay with the injuries on your body?"
The old man turned around from the corner not far away, and when he saw Lu Chen standing in front of the house, he was stunned, and then he limped over.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.
It was already night, the light was dim, and when I got closer, I could see that the old man had problems with his legs and feet, and even the corners of his eyes and mouth had many bruises. When he reached out to support him, the old man couldn't help but gasp, his body was covered with scars.
"Old man, you..."
Lu Chen didn't dare to touch the old man at will, so he could only mobilize the blood qi in his body and try his best to gently help the old man dissolve the blood in the injuries in his body.
"Is Nianchen already asleep?"
The old man waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, and asked uneasily.
"Yes, Xiao Nianchen is already asleep. ”
Lu Chen nodded, and urged the blood qi in his body to help the old man recover.
Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not enter the door, but only sat down on the stone pier in front of the door, enduring the pain and moving his shoulder.
"Old man, you are..."
Lu Chen's face was worried, and at the same time, he asked the Linglong Treasure Tree through the Emerald Leaf Token, and after getting a response, he took out an emerald green round leaf from the Bright Moon Immortal Palace.
"Old man, you eat this first, it can help you heal. ”
"No, my old man is cheap, and it is a waste to eat these elixirs and strange herbs. ”
The old man smiled and pushed away, only shaking his head again and again.
But Lu Chen was persistent and unwilling to take it back, but the old man couldn't help it, so he reluctantly accepted it and ate the round leaf. But seeing the flow of divine light, the bruises on the old man's face quickly dissipated, and his spirit also returned to shine.
"What a powerful elixir and strange grass! But this thing is worth a lot of money, isn't it? It's a pity to give me this bad old man to eat..."
The old man looked surprised, but he quickly smiled bitterly, feeling sorry for this elixir.
"No matter how good something is, if it is not used, it is a waste, how can it be said that it is a pity. ”
Lu Chen comforted, and asked how the old man became like this.
He was silent for a moment, his face full of bitterness, and sighed a few times before he explained why. But this matter is nothing more than that, just because the firewood was delivered late, delaying people's fireworks, which is not a big deal. What's more, it was only delayed for more than ten minutes, but it was a group of people who punched and kicked as punishment.
This kind of punishment is too much.
"The person I often send firewood is a branch family under the Ren family, and the person who beat you before is a descendant of the branch family of the Ren family. You thought about me and Nianchen, because you were afraid of causing trouble for the two of you, so you were only beaten but did not fight back, and the old man was grateful. There are more than 100 families in the villages outside the city, all of them doing the same thing as me, and whoever makes the slightest mistake will be beaten and kicked. But we're all used to it, and if you don't care, why should you suffer all this. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he comforted Lu Chen again, but secretly wiped a handful of tears.
Lu Chen naturally saw that he only had a weak heart and couldn't do anything.
He knew that with his current strength, he could not change this situation at all. No matter how powerful the Ren family is, even if it is related to the bloodline, it is not beyond his strength, and this is just a microcosm of the general trend of the world. Even if he has enough strength to fight against the Ren family, how can he save the world?
He is not the Chosen Sage, not a true immortal, not a savior, and has no ability.
I can't bear it, I don't want to, but I am angry in my heart, and I am helpless.
"A group of dogs and powerful guys, if it weren't for the support of the monks of the Ren family behind them, they would be nothing more than this! Why do the monks of the Ren family turn a blind eye? The monks practice the aura of heaven and earth, and practice the way of heaven in order to seek immortals, and they have powerful means. It's just that it doesn't benefit one party, but why should you connive at the people who are inferior to oppress the poor?!"
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, empathizing.
He was born in the mountains, and so he was in them. It's just that he was lucky, he got the cultivation method, and he wanted his father and mother to live a better life, but he had no choice but to go out of the mountain, experienced many twists and turns, and now his father and mother are in danger.
The strong oppress the weak, as he has experienced, and the powerful oppress the poor.
The old man turned his head to look at Lu Chen, looked at the dog-faced mask, and took it back for a long time.
"Those subordinates who have bullied us are the result of their sinister hearts, so don't mention it. And the monks... If you are too busy to take care of yourself, how can you care about such little people as us. You're still young, you haven't seen much, so naturally you can't understand it. Monks practice the aura of heaven and earth, and practice the way of heaven in order to seek immortals, isn't what they do is immortality? But how difficult it is to seek immortality and immortality, and how many monks in the world have followed one another on this road? Are they really willing to embark on the path of seeking immortals? Once they set foot on it, either you die or I live, and how many people can eventually become immortals and live forever? Some people are motivated by the pursuit of power, but more people are forced to live better in order to be free from oppression. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.
So they hold their heads in their hands and walk on the brink of death every day, always careful, cautious, and hard, in order to survive better. These pressures make them almost crazy. Occasionally, they will be plundered, rejected, and oppressed by the stronger, and if they are angry and unwilling, they can only plunder the weak, oppress the weak, and the weak will oppress the weaker, even if it is just to vent... Look at the various situations in the world, who has the ability and ambition to seek immortality and immortality, which one is not working hard? Those who are not capable of seeking immortality and immortality, but have the ability to enjoy it, who is not drunk with money? Those who are not capable of enjoying it, who is not struggling and even unscrupulous, just to survive better?"
After saying that, the old man suddenly laughed, how ironic, how bitter.
"The world is full of ups and downs, and there are all kinds of creatures. For too many people, being alive is like a purgatory... Look away, and just do it. ”
