33. The heart is connected to thousands of knots, and the world is difficult.
readx; In the blink of an eye, it had been several days since the five of them left the Yixia Villa, and since they had been walking in the wilderness of the mountains and forests, they had not encountered too many people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After all, although it was decided to find the internal response of the Demon Palace in the Central Plains Martial Arts, there was still no clue after all.
Passing through a small town, several people found that although this town is not small, it seems that at least the taverns, restaurants, inns and other facades that ordinary cities should have, and the scale is not small.
But the strange thing is that this should be a very prosperous town, but at this time it seems to be empty. Except for the occasional old man or two who could be seen hobbling around, even with no curiosity about his five obvious passers-by, it was obvious that the town had been abandoned for a long time!
Walking into a rare inn that is still clean, the appearance of a two-story building, the depth from the outside should not be shallow, at least the kind of separate courtyard equipped with guests to receive distinguished guests. But in such a high-end inn, there is only an elderly couple behind the counter with a sad face, and there is no sign of recent guests, which is by no means a normal situation.
Yang Chen walked to the counter and said politely: "Shopkeeper! We are passing by here and want to stay for one night." Please prepare three rooms, some meals!"
The two old men glanced at each other lazily, and the old man sighed and shook his head: "If the guest officer wants to stay in the hotel, he can do it himself, but as for the food, ......"
Seeing that the two old faces were sad, Xuelu stepped forward and asked softly: "Old man, I looked at the town before it should have been very prosperous, but why is it so depressed now?"
"Hey, the guest officer doesn't know, our place was originally called Golden Town, because it was indeed very prosperous and lively before the abundance of gold, and there has always been an endless stream of travelers. But slowly, the young people in the city went to pan for gold and trade, and the fields became more and more deserted, and the result was ......"
The old man sighed for a while, and his face was indifferent: "Although this place is vast, it is located in a remote area, and other towns on all sides are not close, and it is not a traffic artery. If everyone can work hard and be self-sufficient, otherwise even if the gold is piled up and full of pits, it will only be useless!"
"Hey, what this boy said is that our Golden Town is not only rich in gold, but also has vast and fertile fields and sweet springs. But since the young people went to pan for gold, the fields were barren and the springs were drying up. Until the gold mountain was dug up, not only did no one come to do business anymore, but the rich people in the city also went outside and never came back. It wasn't until two years ago that a group of robbers suddenly came and killed people, robbed money from house to house, and robbed young girls away. That day and night, the town became eighteen layers of hell. Since then, no travelers have dared to come, and those who have been spared with a little savings have fled. Since then, the town has become even more desolate, and it has become what it is today, leaving only the old man who can't walk the same path as our old couple stays and waits for death......"
Yang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "But since the land in this golden town is vast and fertile, there should be people from the nearby villages who will come to cultivate it! And the people who left before are not willing to return to their hometowns?"
The old man shook his head sadly: "Who dare? Since the gang of robbers came, they have taken root in the mountains. It's just us who are the rest of the old guys, who are forced to pay food every month to save their lives, and they can't even eat enough to eat......"
At this time, the old woman sighed lightly and said: "Okay old man, don't talk about it, it's ...... upset! Hey! I'll talk about a few, the old woman has a lot of words to persuade you to leave quickly." There have been a few times when people have come to the town, but they have all been killed by robbers. And we really don't have any extra food to eat now......"
Xuelu is a young girl after all, and she can't help but feel very sympathetic to what happened to the town!"Don't be afraid, old people, we all know some martial arts, and ordinary robbers won't be able to touch us." It's just that so many things have happened, and it's not been a day or two, so no one in the government cares?"
There is no need to wait for the old man to answer, Xianzhen smiled bitterly: "Sister! In the past hundred or ten years, there have been many wars in the world, and the emperor has changed people almost every day. Not to mention this small town, even the big city government outside is fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, how can anyone really worry about the people?"
Yang Chen sighed and nodded: "Yes! The world is in chaos, and it is the common people who suffer after all." But ......"
Seeing him looking at himself, Banqin said indifferently: "I don't care!"
With a wry smile, Yang Chen looked at the other three: "It's late today, let's stay for one night." Later, I will go to the surrounding suburbs to hunt some game and come back ....... Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves, and don't be afraid when the robbers come!"
The world is hot and cold, and they are all too busy to take care of themselves, who cares about others!
"Since a few of us are willing to stay, we two old things are nothing. It's just that it doesn't matter if you give the money or not, you just have to clean it up yourself. ā
This was just expected, and after discussing it at the moment, Yang Chen and Yidao went to the suburbs to hunt, and Xuelu went to clean up the room for a few people. Hyun-jung wanders around the town alone, while Banqin sits idly in the inn and waits.
"Brother Chen, do you think we're going to go up the mountain to fight the robbers, or are we going to wait for them to come by themselves?"
"Does the master have the heart to eliminate harm for the people?"
Yidao was stunned: "Of course! When you encounter this kind of thing, don't you look at my monk who usually eats meat and drinks wine, but he has never forgotten what a chivalrous person should do!"
Nodding, Yang Chen pondered for a moment: "Naturally, you have to take care of it." But I'm wondering how to deal with this matter! There are so many bandits that even if we can destroy his lair, we can't stay here forever, so what if they come back to take revenge? Besides, even if we can completely eradicate those robbers, how will the rest of the old people in the city live? So I want to think of a perfect solution, at least the good guys will do it to the end!"
Hearing this, Yidao nodded again and again: "Brother Chen, to be honest, you really impress the monk!"
"Oh?
"When I first saw you, I only thought that you were good-hearted and clever! But then I found out that you are indeed chivalrous and courageous, and the most rare thing is that you have insight and can take care of the overall situation! I believe that you will definitely make great achievements in the future!"
Yang Chen smiled slightly when he heard this: "The master has won the award! In fact, for me, my previous life has always been protected and taken care of by the master, until this time I really went to the rivers and lakes, and I found that I was so small." I have encountered so many things, and I feel that I am still far from what I should be able to do! And I am very happy to be able to meet the master and the virtuous brother! It is really my honor to walk the rivers and lakes with you!"
"Ha ......" laughed heartily, and the other way was very happy in his heart: "You can say that I am in trouble! Since we are so close to each other, you will stop calling me a master in the future, just call me a monk! You don't have to be so polite to him with that bull nose! I have known him for a long time, don't look at him who usually pretends to be sanctimonious, and is more greedy than me in private! But to Banqin, what do you say he is thinking in his heart? I really can't see through it......
Sighing softly, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness: "At this time, he has too much on his shoulders! In fact, he himself knows the current situation very well, but no matter what he does, there will be no better results!"
"What do you mean?"
"Hey......! The Demon Palace wants him, mainly for his skills, at least he can use him to deal with the Central Plains Martial Arts. But even without him, we have all seen the masters of the Demon Palace, if one day we really invade the Central Plains Martial Arts, we may not have a chance of winning at all, but if we have him, it will be different. But if what Yin Yaoji said is true, once he is poisoned, it will pose a threat to us. For him, he can't die to protect everyone, and living will become dangerous. If it were me, I really wouldn't know how to deal with myself......"
The other way was quite stunned when he heard this! This was indeed the case, but with the stone statue-like face of Banqin in his mind, he only felt that it was difficult to understand why Yang Chen had these opinions, but maybe he would never understand that he could actually be happier if he couldn't see through a lot of inside information......
Invite the old couple of the inn to dinner together, although they are full of curiosity about these five young people! But the years have made the old man understand that it is better to bury curiosity in his heart most of the time!
At night, Yang Chen knocked on the door of Banqin's room, and there was no surprise when he saw him Banqin!
"Looks like you knew I was coming for you?"
"You want to stop me from bulldozing that bandit den?"
"Yes......"
Hearing him admit without hesitation, Banqin looked at him: "In my understanding, bad people who do evil deserve to die!"
Yang Chen nodded: "Some times, or most of the time, it does. However, I think everyone you've killed so far has been basically heinous. ā
"Questions?"
"No, but you killed someone, but the master told you to go, didn't you?"
"He told me that to kill the bad guys is to save the good guys!"
"What do you think of it?"
"Isn't that right?"
Yang Chen shook his head lightly: "It's not wrong! It's just that the master has always designated who you want to kill, and you must find out the conclusive evidence in advance, isn't it?"
"I understand that he wants me to know for myself what kind of people to kill!"
"But not all the people in the green forest are heinous robbers, and even there are many poor people among them! Just like the Rising Sun Gang, although they are also in the green forest, Old Man Zhou is a thief who has been famous for decades! And killing bad people can indeed be said to save good people, but the real saving people is not only not to let them die, but to let them live forever!"
Banqin listened and pondered secretly: "You mean, if you get rid of those bandits, the people here won't be able to survive?"
"That's not what I say. Those robbers are indeed the most heinous, but I don't think they are all damned. And even if they are killed, the old people here will not live much better. So I think the most important thing for us now is not to kill as many robbers as possible, but to make sure that the elderly here can live without worry in the future. Besides, even among those robbers, I think there are many who have no choice but to fall into the grass, if they can change their ways and live in peace from now on, wouldn't it be ......?"
After a long time, Banqin looked at him with a stiff expression: "Honestly, I don't quite understand what you mean." But I think you're right. But can you tell me that those whom you call a last resort can really change their ways?"
After pondering for a long time, Yang Chen slowly shook his head: "I can't guarantee this, but I think it's worth trying!" Because killing a bad person may save a good person, but if you can save a not too bad person, you can save more good people, isn't it better than just killing people?"
After thinking about it, Banqin obviously didn't fully understand his thoughts!
"Maybe you're right, but now I'm not sure ....... I can promise you not to kill them today, but if ......"
"It's up to you!"
Looking at him deeply, Banqin nodded: "You are a good person, I believe." If you have the opportunity, you should be able to help a lot of people. So you'd better stay away from me, because I don't want to hurt the good guys!"
Smiling, Yang Chen nodded lightly: "Actually, you are also a good person! It's just that things in this world are often not easy to explain clearly, as for you are afraid of hurting others, I can understand this feeling." But I hope you can remember that maybe the poison in you will be controlled by others, but no one can control your heart! So as long as you live, you can control yourself, we will accompany you, support you, and will never let you face it alone!"
Slowly looking out the window at the moon, which was sometimes obscured by the clouds, Banqin's face still did not change in the slightest. But Yang Chen's heart was inexplicably tight, and he seemed to clearly feel his pain at this time. And Banqin also felt a wonderful sadness in his heart!
The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a sudden emptiness in their hearts for a while, as if they were thrown into an endless ** sea at the same time......
