Chapter 279: The Confusion of Human Nature
The moonlight appears and disappears from time to time, and the sound of 'Bang Bang Bang' is faintly heard. For the fastest update of this book, please search in Baidu: 58 to read the book, or visit the website directly.
Heaven and earth, because the moonlight suddenly faded and changed, and everything began to become blurred. Although the moonlight is as soft as water, it is also a part of all things, just like the soft human heart, it is a part of life, and at every stage, before every unpredictable thing happens, the heart is always ready in anticipation or apprehension, because it changes slightly, and everything will change with it.
Li Xuan crouched outside the window, listening to the conversation between Li Yuan and Li Shimin in the house, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that Li Yuan has deduced the future world with a century-old ghost twenty years ago. Hmph, this person's city is deep, the power of forbearance, and the ambition is huge, which is rare in the world!
Not only did he regard the descendants of the Tianji Sect as the people who brought the Li family a bloody disaster through the deduction of divine magic, but also in order to seize the world in the future and block the danger brought by the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, he actually implemented a twenty-year-long 'encirclement and strangulation' plan through prediction. From this point of view, whether it is the Fugui Dart Incident, the Flying Camel Gang, the Twelve Consecutive Money Villages, or the Taishan Heroes Club, or even the indulgence of his three sons to develop power on the rivers and lakes, it is just a small part of his careful plan.
He uses all the means at his disposal, taking advantage of the innate greed of all people, through quiet time, to let others die unknowingly in his ring after ring plan, and he also eliminates the foreseen danger little by little in the plan. In this way, when he raises the banner of subverting the Great Sui, at the level of rivers and lakes alone, the rest will all be supporters.
It is often said that in order to achieve great things, it is necessary to have the right time and place, and it is said that the success is in the people, but as long as you have a strong heart, endure the pain of the mind and body, and be ruthless in your heart, even if you betray your relatives and leave, why can't you get the right time, place and people.
This Li Yuan is really an invincible hero among people!"
Li Xuan suddenly thought that on the night of the Chen family's courtyard, Shen Wuxing discussed the laws of the rivers and lakes with him before he died, and told himself that in the past ten years, the rivers and lakes have been like a strange machine that has been manipulated and strangled by people to strangle the heroes of the rivers and lakes. Whenever there are heroes or leaders in the rivers and lakes, there will be a dozen or hundreds of strange things and wonders closely related to them.
The strange thing that happens to the rivers and lakes is that when this invisible and untouchable machine is running, in the process of its operation, heroic or leader-like people will fall into the vortex of greed, gossip, cruelty, ruthlessness, and ridiculousness of human nature, and in spite of all the struggles and screams with all their might, they will eventually die. The most realistic example is the emergence of the rich dart, for the sake of profit, everyone flocks to it, until finally it is naturally devoured, hunted, torn apart, until it disappears without a trace. However, who has been operating this formidable machine for more than a decade?
That was Li Yuan, and his three sons.
Shen Wuxing, who was on his deathbed, didn't understand, the crazy Yan Wushu didn't understand, Shangguan Xiaoxiong, who wanted to make a comeback, Nangong Zhenshi, who was evil-hearted, Lu Ran, who was self-righteous, Zhu Lian, who was calm and ruthless, and a hundred-year-old ghost who was also a god and a ghost. Well, no one has ever understood it, because they have been blinded by what they think is important, and they have lost their most precious lives.
The lights in the room were still bright, but Li Yuan's father and son's faces were much more solemn.
Li Yuan said: "In the past, the first generation of the Extreme Heaven Sect Master relied on an ancient sword to fight all over the world, and finally achieved the immortal status of the rivers and lakes. Although the sect is declining day by day, the several desperate assassinations that have subverted the world in the past hundred years are all related to the Extreme Heaven Sect. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he muttered: "I have heard of the Extreme Heaven Sect, but I didn't know that the people in this sect have such great energy. Li Yuan said: "Energy......! That's a good word. If this kind of energy is exploded, it will be a huge force that will subvert the situation and change the world. Li Shimin nodded and said: "If you can kill the head of the enemy's generals, it is the fastest and most effective way to defeat the enemy, but throughout history, even a chivalrous and brave person like Jing Ke has not succeeded, is it possible that the people of the Extreme Heavenly Gate are more powerful than Jing Ke?" Li Yuan nodded and said: "What is Jing Ke, even if he kills one person in ten steps like Focus and Nie Zheng, and the assassin warriors who never leave behind, it is difficult to compare with the people of the Extreme Heaven Gate." ”
Li Shimin said: "Why are the people of Jitianmen so powerful?"
Li Yuan sighed: "It should be their birth!"
Li Shimin pondered: "I heard that Kid Li Xuan is a descendant of the Extreme Heaven Sect. Oh, no wonder you had to kill him. After a pause, he seemed to be a little puzzled, and said, "However, the child still doesn't understand." Li Yuan said: "What don't you understand?" Li Shimin said: "Since you know that he is the descendant of the Extreme Heaven Sect, you should kill him when he was young, why bother raising a tiger and letting it grow naturally?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's a good question! Alas, is it easy to kill a person who is shrouded in the aura of the stars? Hey, you have to remember that the best way to destroy a known enemy is not to kill the other party, but to make the other party submit to him, or let him unknowingly turn into a waste. Besides, that kid has Sha Anzhisha's half-eye secretly protected, and it will be difficult for anyone to kill him. ”
Li Shimin said suddenly: "It turns out that you let Long Hongye raise him without killing him, not to raise a tiger for trouble, but to raise him into a complete waste in a long time." ”
Li Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I did arrange for Long Hongye to do this back then, but in the past twenty years, everything has changed too much. Alas, this bet is in danger of being overturned. Li Shimin nodded and said, "This kid is indeed fateful." However, now the pattern of rivers and lakes is still realized according to your 'encirclement and strangulation' plan. Daddy, not to mention that our three brothers have recruited almost all the masters in the rivers and lakes according to your 'encirclement' plan, let's just talk about the subsequent 'strangulation' plan! Zhu Lian, Lu Ran, Yan Wuving, Nangong Zhenshi, Shangguan Xiaoxiong, and even the century-old ghosts have all been suspicious of each other and killed each other for the sake of profit and fame in this plan, and so far, there has been no potential threat. Hey, you said that after the hundred-year-old ghost dies, you will no longer have any worries about the rivers and lakes!"
The room was extremely quiet, and the Li father and son looked at each other.
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Counting it, there is only this Li Xuan." Alas...... Of course, if the three of you brothers work together and have no grievances, maybe they can also avoid the bloody disaster of the Li family. Li Shimin was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The bloody disaster may be in front of us or in the future, but the current major event is still to make up our minds as soon as possible to set the day for the incident!" Li Yuan groaned when he heard this: "The closer the matter is, the more I don't know why, the more I look forward and backward." ”
Li Shimin said: "Time does not wait for me. Daddy, if you don't make up your mind, take advantage of this good situation, obey the will of the people, and achieve the foundation of the Li family for all generations, I am afraid that you will be preempted by Yu Wenhua!
He paused, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Father, did you accept the arrangement of Pei Lian, the deputy palace supervisor, and did you have a ...... Two of the Evil Emperor's favorite concubines?"
When Li Yuan heard this, his face changed drastically.
Li Shimin kowtowed and said: "Dad, I think this matter will be revealed one day, if you make another decision at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”
Li Yuan saw that although Li Shimin was kneeling on the ground with tears on his face, but when he talked about what happened in front of the Seven Star Tower, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and stood up with a 'sigh', and shouted with anger on his face: "Min'er, you ...... How do you know that I came to the Seven Star Tower with ...... ...... with two concubines Hahahahaha...... I see, I see. You have been persuading me to raise the flag early, did you see that I was hesitant and always couldn't make a decision, so you conspired with Pei Lin to do this tonight......? Answer me. ”
Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan's face was pale, his lips trembled with anger, and he kowtowed again and again: "Daddy, you are a smart person, I am worried that you will hesitate and miss the best opportunity!" Li Yuan sighed, shook his head and said: "Although the things on the rivers and lakes no longer worry me, but ...... But ......" Li Shimin wept: "Are you still worried about the forces outside the rivers and lakes? Don't worry, the hundreds of thousands of troops we have are not vegetarians. When Li Yuan heard this, he sighed: "It is not enough to rely on hundreds of thousands of troops! Today, there are still some powerful figures under the command of the other party. Each of these people is worth an army of 100,000, and if these people are not cut off, great things will be difficult. Get up!" Li Shimin stood up when he heard this, and pondered: "Although I can't guess your so-called powerful person, the child has already made careful arrangements for some people. ”
Li Yuanqi said: "Tell me about it." ”
Li Shimin said: "Li Mi has not yet gone to Wagangzhai, I have bought Zhu Shanhe and Zheng Xing, and let them sow discord between Li Mi and Zhai Rang. Li Yuan muttered: "What if Li Mi succeeds in ascending to the throne and unites the people of Wagangzhai more united?" Li Shimin said: "Then I am not afraid! Because as long as Zhu Shanhe and Zheng Xing are still greedy and listen to our words, not only will Li Mi be dismantled, but even Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, whom I have always admired, will return to take refuge sooner or later." Li Yuan stared at Li Shimin for a long time and said, "Min'er, you are the smartest and most capable of my many descendants...... You are so enthusiastic about my flag-raising, do you have any ideas?" Li Shimin heard this, his face was panicked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Father is above, how dare the child have other ideas!"
The moonlight faded into the western mountains, and the heavens and the earth entered the darkest time before dawn.
Everything is ambiguous, and the eastern sky still does not show a hint of light. When Li Xuan heard this, he suddenly felt that Li Yuan's father and son were constantly using the weaknesses of human nature in the rivers and lakes to complete the set long-term plan, although their methods were not above board and above board, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that the reason why the methods that were not above board and above board could continue could not completely blame Li Yuan and his son.
Think about it, if human nature is not greedy, if it does not aspire to wealth and nobility, and dreams of getting rich in a short period of time or becoming famous overnight, no matter how long-term and careful their plans are, they will be useless. However, the greed of human nature is an innate part of human beings, and if it is to be completely eradicated, I am afraid that it can only be eradicated through arduous self-adjustment and painstaking cultivation of the mind. However, life is only 36,000 days, and in such a short period of time, even if one can achieve an empty state of mind and a mind as water, who is willing to make arduous and extraordinary efforts to achieve this! Moreover, if everyone is in an empty state of mind and a mind is as calm as water, what will this world become, and will it really become the paradise of dreams? I am afraid that this is also impossible.
Li Xuan crouched outside the window, thinking wildly, and felt painted. He looked at Li Yuan's father and son in the room, his mind suddenly flashed over Tang Bing's sad and desperate appearance before he died, his heart ached, he held the hilt of the Wushen sword, and was about to break through the window to cut Li Yuan's father and son under the sword, when he suddenly saw a maid hurriedly enter the house and whispered a few words in Li Yuan's ear. Li Yuan nodded while listening, and finally clapped his hands and laughed. Li Xuan outside the house was puzzled, and Li Shimin inside the house was also puzzled.
Li Shimin said: "Father, what kind of happy event did you encounter that made you so happy?" Li Yuan smiled without saying a word, beckoned to Li Shimin: "Come with me, you will know." As they spoke, they hurried behind the screen one after the other. If you don't make a move at this time, wait for when. But when Li Xuan was about to jump up and break through the window, he suddenly felt that people on the left and right sides were watching him.
He was taken aback, looked around the left and right, and saw a gray-robed monk standing on the eaves on the left and right sides of him. Although the two monks looked indifferent, their faces were thin, and they stood quietly on the top of the eaves, they gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Li Xuan saw the two monks and said in surprise: "Zhizong, Master Zhixing, how can you two be here?"
Seeing that Li Xuan recognized him, the Zen master on the left side smiled slightly: "Shaoxia still remembers the old monk?"
Li Xuan bowed and saluted: "Naturally remember you!" Zen Master Zhizong nodded and said, "Then please ask the young man to move and talk, how about it?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that the two masters are here to protect Li Yuan's father and son?"
Zen Master Zhizong nodded, proclaimed a Buddha name, and said lightly: "Exactly." The repentant host knew that Shaoxia was a person who was a Buddha person, so he specially sent us here to persuade Shaoxia to keep people under the sword. Their father and son are worried about the world and are doing good things to save the people. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help sneering: "I am a person who is a Buddha, shouldn't I kill their father and son?"
Zhizong Zen Master Zhengse said: "People who are to the Buddha have Buddha in their hearts, and they are also chivalrous, and chivalry is the sky, so how can a chivalrous person kill people who have the heart of the world!" Li Xuan said: "Although this father and son have the world, their methods are despicable and shameless, and they have nothing to do with chivalry, why should I spare them?" Before the Zen Master of Zhizong could respond, the Zhixing Zen Master on the right was a little impatient and said: 'Shaoxia and we are also old friends, why can't we go downstairs and listen to my senior brother Zhizhi presiding over the detailed explanation of the truth?!" Li Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay! When I am here, I will plead with my sword and empty hands to the penitent presiding officer and listen to his teachings. Zen Master Zhixing said angrily: "Young and arrogant, you are really obsessed. Li Xuan heard Zhixing's fierce words, and said coldly: "Because I know the two masters, I don't want to hurt the harmony, and you want me to go downstairs again, but you forced me to force it." Zen Master Zhixing said: "Okay! I heard that the young man has been invincible recently, and the old monk is trying to learn and learn." Li Xuan said lightly: "You are not my opponent, please don't make a move." ”
You must know that Li Xuan was instructed by the repentant host when he was recuperating from his injuries in Shaolin Temple earlier, and after reading the "Empty Phase Washing Pulp Sutra" in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, his martial arts have made great progress. At that time, when I entered a state of thoughtlessness and selflessness, I inadvertently tried to compete with three Zen masters, Zhizong, Zhixing, and Zhicong. According to Li Xuan's martial arts at that time, he was already able to defeat three enemies with one, not to mention that his martial arts have already been thousands of miles a day now.
Zen Master Zhizong became more and more stiff when he heard the two of them talk, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be impatient, young man, do you think only the two of us are coming?"
Li Xuan looked up when he heard this, and saw a monk standing on the eaves on the fourteenth floor, which was the Shaolin Zhiyu Zen Master, and there was also a monk standing on the eaves on the twelfth floor, which was the Shaolin Zhicong Zen Master. He looked up and down, and said secretly in his heart: "I have always wondered why Li Shimin has no regrets about the life and death of the masters around him, it turns out that it is because of the protection of Shaolin monks. Well, Shaolin Temple Buddhism is magnanimous and upright, and with their protection, naturally there is no need for the help of century-old ghosts and Zhu Lian, who are on the sidelines. So that's the case, Li Yuan and his son have the trump card of Shaolin Temple, and they want the whole rivers and lakes to be reckless!"
He knew in his heart that although the three Zen masters of Zhizong, Zhixing, and Zhicong were not his opponents, if the unfathomable Zhiyu Zen Master was added, the situation would be different. Seeing that Li Yuan's father and son arrived at the screen, they still left upstairs at this time? The opportunity is fleeting, even if he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, wouldn't he go to the mountains? Hey, if he can stay here now, he will definitely go to the temple one day to ask for his guilt. As he spoke, he stretched out, smashed the window with his left palm, and flew in. The Zhiyu Zen master on the fourteenth floor listened to what Li Xuan said, and flicked the sleeves of his robe and said: "The young man is stubborn ......" Before he could speak, the person had already flown behind Li Xuan. (To be continued.)
