Liu Yi walked in the inside of the cave, the light was very dim, the surroundings were dark, and he couldn't see anything, if he closed his eyes and listened carefully, he could still hear the sound of heartbeats and the ticking of water droplets.

"What kind of place is this?" he wondered how he got here, where he was, and how he got out.

Because the light was so dim, Liu Yi could only walk by touching the wall, completely unaware of what was in front of him.

Suddenly, he stepped into a puddle of water, wetting his shoes and socks, and suddenly the cold spread from the soles of his feet.

"Damn!" he cursed, and the echo of the words echoed through the cave.

Liu Yi froze suddenly, trying to calm himself down, he pricked up his ears, leaned down, and pressed it to the ground to listen carefully. Slowly, a rush of footsteps approached, with uniform, well-trained footsteps, and the sound of iron tools cutting across the ground. The sound grew clear from far and near.

Liu Yi stood up and subconsciously quickened his pace, but he clearly felt that the voice behind him was getting louder, getting closer and louder. He began to panic, changed from fast walking to fast running, and didn't care if he could see clearly or not, whether he was walking correctly or not, the road was uneven, in short, he just ran right.

And this move brought about a more rapid catch-up behind him.

Liu Yi didn't know how long he had been running, and his body couldn't support it for a long time, when suddenly a white light came in front of him, he was overjoyed and hurried there.

Another accident, Liu Yi fell to the ground, his left leg knee hit the ground heavily, he immediately got up, and he didn't care much at the moment, running for his life was the most important.

He rushed into the white light, and before he could be happy, he was disappointed: in front of him, there was a cliff, and in the distance, the flames of war were spreading, and the huge statue of the heavy bird was burning in the flames......

"This sucks......" he thought to himself.

The footsteps behind him all stopped, and he turned around, only to see Liu An and his party holding knives, looking at him viciously.

"An'er..." Liu Yi's heart suddenly became bitter, he took a few steps forward, but Liu An raised the knife and pointed it at him, with a cold and ruthless face.

"Liu Yi, you can't run today!" said Liu An, who approached Liu Yi step by step.

"In that case, then come on. Liu Yi closed his eyes helplessly, spread his arms, and quietly waited for the moment when the blade slashed through his throat, without the slightest intention of resisting.

A crisp sound sounded, Liu Yi opened his eyes, and watched Liu An's knife fall at his feet, while the person was lying on the ground, motionless.

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I saved you. An old voice rang out behind him.

Liu Yixun looked for prestige, and saw a man in black, standing not far away with a scepter in his hand, and a green gem on the scepter was shining.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving your life! Liu Yi can't repay it, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will be very grateful!"

"Elder Liu is polite, I didn't want you to reciprocate for saving you. ”

"That's... I don't know what you want..."Liu Yi frowned.

"I'm here to save the black dust and the blinded people once and for all. ”

"If Your Excellency can save me Heichen, I am willing to exchange my life for it!"

The man in black shook his head and said, "You don't need your life, all you can do is listen to me, so that you can get a better and more powerful Black Dust!"

"What am I going to do?" Liu Yi felt extremely happy, as if he had found a wooden house to warm himself in the cold winter, his eyes were full of hope.

"You'll understand when the time comes, and I'll see you again—" said him, and the ground cracked beneath the blackman's feet.

Liu Yi was startled and fell off the cliff. He sat up from the stone bed suddenly, his forehead covered with sweat, and his back soaked with sweat.

"A dream?" he muttered.

Liu Yi tried to move his muscles and bones, but a sharp pain suddenly came from his left knee and made him give up the practice. Looking at his bandaged knee, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "When did your left knee hurt, isn't everything that happened just now a dream?"

"Father, are you awake?" At the door of the small stone cave, a woman walked in, looked at Liu Yi, and her originally nervous expression suddenly eased, "I'm worried to death." ”

"Wen Yi, I'm fine. Liu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It's just a dream." ”

"You've dreamed of big brother again......" Liu Wenyi (24 years old) glanced at his expression, and her heart suddenly felt a little sad.

"Yes... An'er..."Liu Yi nodded and didn't continue, and Liu Wenyi didn't speak anymore, this topic was a little sad.

"Brother Liu Yi, you're worried about us to death!" Suddenly, Murong Kun Lei Guang and other elders broke in, looking at Liu Yi who had woken up, they were relieved, "You were poisoned and fainted just now, and your knee hit the stalactite, which frightened us all." ”

"It's hard for everyone to bother. Liu Yi nodded and said.

"Speaker Shen Tuo said, you can recuperate well during this period, and leave the rest to us. Murong Kun said.

"Please, by the way, what about the others?"

"It's not good. Lei Guang frowned, "The medical staff said that although this poison is not difficult to solve, there are not many corresponding medicinal materials, and the vast majority of people are poisoned, and the treatment progress has slowed down all of a sudden." ”

"What should I do?" Liu Yi couldn't help but be a little anxious when he heard this.

"Father, don't worry. Liu Wenyi hurriedly walked over to help him, "We have already discussed and formed a medicine collection team to find medicinal materials near Qingtan Mountain in order to solve the problem of medicinal materials." ”

"Qingtan Mountain?" Liu Yi was stunned, "You go out, but the situation outside is very dangerous, and the dementors have not stopped searching for it!"

"Dude, you don't have to worry about that. Murong Kun said, "We have countermeasures. ”

"That's... That's good... That's good..."Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said as if deflated, "It's good to have a countermeasure." ”

"Alright, you better rest more, let's go first. With that, the two departed.

"Father, I'll go first. Liu Wenyi stood up from the side of the bed and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Liu Yi lay down, wondering in his heart, why did he faint, what did the man in black mean? If it was a dream, why did he feel it so strongly? If it wasn't a dream, what did it mean?

It rained, and the temperature on the mountain dropped a lot suddenly, and a cold wind blew and swept the rain into the pavilion, wetting Mo Yuyi's clothes. Maybe it was from the cold, Mo Yu opened his eyes and looked around, and there were still red marks left by his fist on his forehead. They were caught by Mo Feng and them before, and they were worried that they would take the opportunity to escape, so they simply knocked themselves unconscious with a fist, and their foreheads still hurt a lot.

Mo Yu shivered, and the lack of vitality in his body made it impossible for him to resist the cold. He got up and surveyed his surroundings. In his blurred vision, he saw a silver-white haired woman walking towards him.

"That's..."Mo Yu was startled one by one, and hurriedly stood up: "Lord Kong Yan!"

"Sit down, it's just the two of us here, don't worry about etiquette. Kong Yan was wearing a wave-patterned white moon dress, there was still not much life in her gray pupils, she walked towards each other step by step, and each footprint produced a faint ripple, spreading out to all sides.

"What do you think of the invasion of Black Dust? Kong Yan asked, "Just like those Black Dust Elders said, we started a war, and many wives were separated. ”

"We are saving Heichen and helping Heichen revival, it should be understandable, it's just that the war is a little undeserved, after all, the people are innocent......"

"Then if it is a decaying dynasty and the people are struggling to make a living, do you think it should be solved by war?"

"The root of the decay of the dynasty lies in those in power, and it would be best if it could teach those in power to know themselves. ”

"Sure enough, do you still have the thoughts of the Mo family in your head?" Kong Yan muttered in his heart and continued to ask, "Those in power follow their own nature and joy of life, and the edification you are talking about is to restrain your own nature and make sacrifices. Is there a contradiction that the Mohists pay attention to human freedom, and those in power are also human beings?"

At the mention of the word "Mo family", Mo Yu had a sense of déjà vu running through his head, which made him stunned. But he didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "The interests of the country are in conflict with the nature of people, and we should sacrifice our personal interests for the sake of the country's well-being." It's a responsibility. ”

That's right, I don't know how many people listen to it. If you can sing and dance every day, why bother to make great efforts, anyway, the country will not die. This is human nature, and the best way to eradicate it is through war. The current Black Dust is such a dynasty, only war can correct it!"

"No, wars leave behind the victors, who break the old dynastic rules but become the makers of new ones, creating a cycle of reincarnation until the next victor appears. The war cannot be completely corrected, only a temporary victory. ”

"Indoctrination is imperceptible, but those in power would rather believe in the teachings of their ancestors, or they will not be taught, or they will give up halfway, and then they will fall short?

Mo Yu thought for a moment and said: "Enlightenment awakens people, and then produces a series of changes, the more profound, the more obvious and powerful the changes. When this power reaches its peak, it is enough to turn the world upside down. In the end, wouldn't it be great that the mountains and rivers would not shed human blood, and that they would get a new home without a single soldier?"

"Then do you think we can educate the people in power in the black dust to realize their own shortcomings?" Kong Yan turned to look at the scenery outside the pavilion.

In the wind and rain, the mountain was covered with mist, and the rain splashed into it, and suddenly a hazy feeling rose. The dew on the leaves of the trees, the reflection of the crystal green droplets, and the dew drops on the red flowers, face each other and seep into the earth together.

"They have separated themselves from the outside world, and from the point of view of the people of the Black Dust, we are heinous sinners. She looked at Mo Yuyi again, expecting his answer.

As soon as Mo Yu walked to the pillar of the pavilion, he looked at the scenery on the mountain, closed his eyes, and sniffed the natural smell in the wind, as well as the faint smell of blood. He opened his eyes again, looked at the ruined hillside in the distance, and sighed.

Mo Yuyi said slowly: "War and indoctrination may be a method, if they are used properly. War is defined as a symbol of the strong from the moment it arises. Cleanse the wicked and the weak, reformulate the rules of the world, and let the world continue to function, biased towards objective and external forces, while indoctrination is to tap self-awareness, self-discipline, bias towards subjectivity, and inner strength. ”

"Do you want to educate and war?"

"At the beginning of the world, all walks of life were simple and idyllic rural life, but the changes of the times have broken this life. I have to say that the pastoral mode is the foundation, and Heichen wants to maintain this mode all the time, so he will choose to remain in a state of separation from the outside world. Mo Yu faced Kong Yan, "This is an attempt, once it succeeds, it will be a breakthrough!"

"The Dementors advocate the idea of 'positive attack' of 'war is the law', and the most representative Mohist in the black dust emphasizes the idea of 'forbidden attack' of 'education first and abandonment of force', what is your point of view?"

"There can be just wars, but wars of aggression, wars of self-defense, and wars of annexation. ”

"'Non-offensive'?"

I do not deny war, nor do I rely on war, but it would be best to use war to promote justice, to educate and enlighten the world, and to let the people of the world 'love and benefit each other.'" Mo Yuyi didn't know what he was talking about at all, these words were completely natural and didn't think about it at all.

"If the Mo family hands it over to you, what will it look like?" Kong Yan muttered.

Kong Yan walked to Mo Yuyi's side and stared at him, his gray pupils rippled, and a black aura flowed out, as cold and ethereal as an abyss, as if it could tear him apart. And Mo Yu was also a little uneasy at this moment, and his surroundings became much colder, as if he was standing in the ice and snow, and the biting wind poured into his body. A sudden murderous aura covered the rain and strangled him tightly.

Mo Yuyi looked at Kong Yan in horror and unconsciously took a few steps back.

"So don't hide it and let those people know that everything we do is salvation. ”

"Yes!" he replied.

Kong Yan took a few steps back, and his body slowly disappeared until he was completely gone. Mo Yuyi was relieved at this time, and the big stone on his chest was removed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around, the rain was still so heavy......

Once, the council chamber was the pride of Black Dust, and the central district was the most dazzling place of Black Dust, but now only bleak and dilapidated remains, in the smoke and rain, in the vast ruins, the statue of the Chongming Bird stands there. The collapse of prosperity is like a kind of disappearance of glory, destroying people's pride. Today, the bustling streets are filled with just cold puppets roaming aimlessly. A few soldiers patrolled the surroundings, walking back and forth, and the guards were very strict, and there was not the slightest gap.

Not far away, on the Yan Pagoda opposite the Chongming Bird, Song Wu and Zhu Quanyu looked at the sculpture and fell into deep thought......
