The old man entered the house and left a few meat buns wrapped in oiled paper, because he was worried that he would wake up without food, so he deliberately took a detour to buy them on the way back.

There's also a little bit of heat.

Lu Chen pursed his lips, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart.

The world is hideous, and the world is purgatory. As a living being in this world, how should I be in the world... All kinds of creatures ask for immortals to ask, just as the old man said, how many people really want to ask immortals to ask? It's just that they are embarrassed in this incomparably realistic and cruel world, and they have to do this.

Even if you just want to live simply, it's so difficult.

"Ugh..."

Lu Chen sighed, stuffed the bun into his mouth, looked at the silent village outside the city, and looked at the brilliant lights surrounded by the city wall, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Is it right or wrong for the strong to bully the weak?

However, in this world, there is no right or wrong, good and evil, only because of living beings, wisdom, and selfish desires, the so-called right and wrong, good and evil will gradually be derived. But what is right and what is wrong, and what is the boundary between good and evil... Who can tell. In the world, whether it is asking for immortals, robbing treasures and killing people, or even bullying others for fun, it is all to satisfy yourself.

All for their own selfish desires.

Or, for life?

Probably, it's gone astray...

He gradually became distracted, unable to figure it out, unable to figure it out. It is not easy for people to live in the world, they are unsatisfied, they are resentful, they are angry, and they are unwilling, is this the reason why they are unscrupulous? Is this the reason why they oppress others?

The red sun jumped out of the East Mountain, and the first rays of morning light shone on the earth, and Lu Chen woke up in shock, only to realize that he had been sitting all night in such a fool. He shook off the dew from his body, heard movement in the room, and when he looked back, he saw that the old man was coming out with a firewood knife and a basket, and he was about to chop wood.

Not only the old man's family, but also in this village outside the city, there are too many people who have to get up early and be busy at night, just to have a bite to eat.

Nianchen had also woken up and came out with the old man, and when she saw Lu Chen, her big eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Big brother, do you want to go to the mountains with us?"

She leaned in front of Lu Chen, pulled the corner of his clothes, and her finely carved little face was full of radiance.

Lu Chen pursed the corners of his lips, seeing the expectation in Nianchen's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, but hesitated. Eventually, he shook his head.

"I have to go to the city, so I won't go with you. ”

"That's right..."

Nianchen blinked, the loss on his face flashed, and he quickly returned to normal, raising his head and admonishing seriously.

"Big brother, Nianchen knows that you are going to change the spirit spirit, and he also knows that you are in a hurry, but the entire Los Angeles is managed by the Ren family. Big brother, no matter how anxious you are, you can't do bad things. ”

"I'm not going to do anything bad. ”

Lu Chen smiled, squatted down and rubbed Xiao Nianchen's hair.

He knew that Nianchen was worried about himself before he said these words.

In the distance, neighbors who were doing the same thing around began to urge the old man and Nianchen to hurry up. They often go up the mountain together, and they have a good reflection of each other, which can save them a lot of trouble.

"You don't have to worry about me, go ahead. ”

Lu Chen also heard the shout, and rubbed Xiao Nianchen's hair again.

"Hmm... The hair is messed up, and the big brother is bad!"

Nianchen shook his little head, snorted at Lu Chenjiao, and then set off behind the old man. Not far after walking out, Xiao Nianchen turned around and grimaced, smiled and waved goodbye, looking in a good mood.

Lu Chen also waved his hand and watched them leave.

When he couldn't see Nian Chen's figure, Lu Chen turned around and went to the city.

Los Angeles is prosperous, and it is different from the villages outside the city that I saw when I came. A city wall, isolating the two worlds, people outside can't enter, and people inside are very comfortable.

At ease...

It's not necessarily comfortable, it's just glamorous on the surface.

How many of these monks who come and go can really have a comfortable life? They also choose to embark on the path of cultivation in order to live, in order to avoid being oppressed, rather than giving up the opportunity to become mortals. This Shura Path, which is full of dangers and dangers, even if it has been dried up and stained with blood, there are still countless people rushing to step into it.

Just because, I don't want to be oppressed and I don't want to live in embarrassment.

So... And what will they do?

What a terrible nature is behind these gorgeous skins.

Walking on the street, you can hear the loud talk in your ears, you can hear the laughter and scolding in the distance, you can hear the bargaining in the shops, you can hear the whispering of your ears and temples... All this, after all, comes from the deep desire of the heart.

To live, to simply live, or to live better, these are two concepts.

Like the old man and Nianchen, but in order to live simply, he strives to live better. And the people who embark on the cultivation of this Shura path should only do so to live, and most of them want to live better.

Everything comes from desire...

There are thousands of cultivators in the world, and there are thousands of reasons, how can they just live. The old man has seen the waves of the world, but after all, he is no more than a mortal. He still thinks everything is too simple.

But that's the truth, that's the reality, and it can't be changed. As long as people live, as long as they still have feelings, their own desires will not disappear, whether for power, or for profit, or for desire, they will embark on this Shura path one after another... Even if everyone in the world gives up the path of cultivation, they will eventually embark on another path full of life and death.

The road of today, or the road of the unknown, which one is not the path of Shura?

"Let your stewards come out and appraise and sell the treasures. ”

Lu Chen let go of his thoughts, turned around and walked into a shop that sold treasures, and shouted.

He originally wanted to avoid the Ren family, after all, the Ren family was powerful, and if he really set his eyes on the treasures in his hands and bully people with power, he had no choice. But now it seems that everything in the entire Los Angeles is under the control of the Ren family, and there is no choice.

"Steward, dare I ask what kind of treasure your Excellency intends to sell?"

The guy in the store was stunned and asked cautiously hesitantly.

Lu Chen glanced at him, knew the rules, turned his hand and put a red jade fruit on the table. The fragrant aroma quickly flowed out, attracting the eyes of many people in the shop.

"Blood... Blood Fruit, moreover, at least a thousand years old!"

The guy's eyes widened, he howled, and hurriedly called the steward of the store to receive him personally.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chen finally got a sufficient number of spirit spirits and walked out of the store satisfied. The 1,500-year-old blood source fruit is no longer comparable to ordinary elixir and strange herbs, and Lu Chen only needs spiritual essence. Such a fruit almost exhausted all the spiritual essence reserves of this shop.

Before, Lu Chen didn't have much idea about the price of treasures, but after seeing it today, he was really shocked.

Counting it, Xiao Nianchen last night was equivalent to eating six hundred spirit spirits.

The heavy spirit spirit of two hundred directions existed in Lu Chen's life abyss, and the spiritual energy that emanated on its own filled his entire life abyss, dying it with a hazy treasure light, which also brought him a very comfortable feeling. The immortality of the spirit spirit is also good for his own cultivation, and this is the first time Lu Chen knows about it.

It's just that the amount needed is too large.

Not long after he walked out, Lu Chen suddenly turned around and turned into a deep alley. The ground is damp, there are lots of useless waste piled up in the corners, and the pungent musty smell is uncomfortable.

Lu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, lowered his head, stopped, and did not turn around.

"Come out. ”

He said suddenly.

Behind him, at the entrance of the alley, several people who had been following him glanced at each other, with a little surprise and ruthlessness on their faces, and finally walked out.

"Hey, the kid with the dog's face mask. ”

Someone sneered.

"Fifteen hundred years of blood source fruit, or two hundred spirit essences, choose one and hand it over. Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, he doesn't want to see blood, and he doesn't want to waste his life. You hand it over obediently, and Lao Tzu will let you leave. ”

Lu Chen still had his back to these people, his eyes flashing with a slight inexplicable throbbing, and he did not answer.

"Hey, boy, you're deaf, aren't you?!"

When the man saw Lu Chen's appearance, his face was a little more fierce.

He strode forward, grabbed Lu Chen's shoulder, and turned him around.

"Spirit Spirit, or Blood Source Fruit, don't force Lao Tzu to kill!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him.

A very strong man, with a bald head, big ears, a fierce face, and a visible scar on his left eye. The aura wrapped around his body was faintly sinister, like the evil aura of a broken knife, but it was too much weaker.

"You, why did you kill people?"

Lu Chen asked suddenly, which also made this person stunned for a moment.

He reacted, and looked back at his friend behind him, and couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"Killing people, of course, is to seize treasures, whether it is a spirit spirit or a blood source fruit, Lao Tzu doesn't pick it, it's enough to be a good thing. Do you still want to ask why the treasure hunt, but... Why, don't you know?"

Lu Chen still stared at him and did not answer.

The smile on the man's face faded away, and he frowned, and his face gradually darkened.

He didn't like Lu Chen's eyes, low, heavy, but calm, like a pool of stagnant water without any waves. Not like the eyes of a living man, but more like a dead man.

"Boy, you should understand that the weak do not deserve this, and the strong have the right to speak. I have taken treasure for the sake of spiritual advancement, or wealth, or women, but none of this matters, and you can only obey! This is a cannibalistic world, if you don't eat others, others will eat you, and there is nothing else to say. To live in this world, you must follow the rules of this world. The law of the jungle is the rule!"

Bang!

As he spoke, Dahan suddenly let go of his hand and smashed another fist on Lu Chen's lower abdomen. The heavy force made Lu Chen almost spit out last night's buns.

His stomach was churning and he was so painful that he couldn't help but fall to his knees.

After all, it is a punch of the monks of the Four Imperial Realms, and it is also a monk who refines the body.

"Today, Lao Tzu has a kind heart, he doesn't want to kill anyone, and he won't kill you, so we may meet one day in the future. ”

The big man grabbed Lu Chen's hair, grabbed his head, and looked at Lu Chen's eyes fiercely.

"This world is so cruel, today I took your things, maybe tomorrow someone will come to take my things, even my life, because this world is like this. Recognize the reality as soon as possible, it is not as good as you imagined, what disappointment, unwillingness, are the most useless emotions, everything is based on the strength to eat people. Young people like you have seen a lot, and every one of them wants to hold the sword in the world and act chivalrous... Phew! This kind of person either dies early, or is reduced to one of the vast beings, doing the same thing as most people! Innocent people, live, no, long!"

He grinned, the laughter was so harsh, so sad and real.

Lu Chen's pupils twitched slightly, opened his mouth, and suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, he finally stood up, his eyes were no longer wavering, but the corners of his lips hooked, and he suddenly smiled.

"Thanks, you can go. I won't kill you, and you won't do it again. ”
