Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Origin of the Black Ruler
The gray-clothed man didn't pay attention to Luo Xiaosang, only picked up the herring, removed the scales and dug up the internal organs, washed it, threw it into a pot, added a little condiment, and put the pot on the stove on the table. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Luo Xiaosang watched the movements of the man in gray, and only after a while did he say: "Straight hook fishing, those who wish to fish, those who wish to take the bait, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
It turned out that Luo Xiaosang remembered that his master had told him a book about otherworldly myths, in which he was telling the story of a man who had never met a talented person, and when he was old, he still insisted on fishing by the river with a straight hook every day, until he attracted the attention of a local ruler, and then he was able to display his talent.
Although he is old, he will eventually be useful to benefit the people of the world and be admired by the world. The moral of the story is that teaching people to do things is important to persevere, and perseverance will achieve the goal.
The gray-clothed man took two clay bowls, put a bowl of fish soup in front of Luo Xiaosang, and said, "You have also heard the story of straight hook fishing?"
Luo Xiaosang nodded and said: "That old man's perseverance is so admirable, if it were me, I am afraid I won't be able to do it." ”
The gray-clothed man sat down opposite Luo Xiaosang and said, "This person may be said to be tenacious, but on the other hand, he is extremely stupid. ”
People who heard this story all sighed that the old man was resolute and firm, saying that he was stupid, but Luo Xiaosang heard it for the first time, and said strangely: "Uncle, the world says that he has a firm heart, why do you say this?"
The man in gray said lightly: "That is the ignorance of the world, who only understands people's words and words, and does not know how to reflect." You think, if the ruler hadn't heard the rumors about him, or if the ruler had been a mediocre man, wouldn't he have waited until he died and wasted all his talents. ”
Luo Xiaosang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to say this, and after a pause, he said: "There is a story in the story that he knew that the ruler was originally a virtuous king, so he used this method to attract his attention." ”
The gray-clothed man's tone was still cold, with disdain, and said: "That makes him even more stupid, if he had known that the ruler was a virtuous monarch, with his talent, he would have to go to the door and naturally be able to reuse." With his original intention, he wants to display his talents, but also wants to be so pretentious, which can only show that he is a stupid and hypocritical person. ”
Luo Xiaosang was not a good argument in the first place, but when he heard the words of the gray-clothed man, he was reasonable, but he felt that it was wrong in his heart, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't say it for a while, so he had to stare at the bowl of fish soup in front of him in a daze.
The gray-clothed man saw that Luo Xiaosang was in a daze, and he was not talking, he took a sip of fish soup, and said, "Little brother, I see that although you are in a hurry, you are full of energy, tired but not tired. Dare to ask if you are a member of the Immortal Sect?"
Luo Xiaosang was stunned for a moment, and said, "My uncle also knows about cultivating immortals, but he is also a person in my Dao?"
The gray-clothed man smiled and said, "I have lived at this age, so I naturally know that there is such an unearthly thing as cultivating immortals in this world." It's just that I don't know what the little brother is talking about, what does he mean?"
Luo Xiaosang said naturally: "Of course, that refers to my righteous path." ”
The man in gray said: "Then dare to ask the little brother, what is the right way?"
Luo Xiaosang remembered the teaching of his young master, and almost came easily, and said: "Acting above board and protecting the happiness of the people in the world is what people in the righteous path do." ”
The man in gray continued: "Then according to your words, acting despicably and dirty, endangering the common people in the world, will be done by the people of the evil way and demons?"
Luo Xiaosang said awe-inspiringly: "Exactly!"
The gray-clothed man's tone changed suddenly, and he said: "That old man has something to understand, and I want to ask this little brother, if some people in the right path in your mouth slaughter innocent people in order to do the right way, or for the sake of the right way, they calculate in every way and exhaust innocent people to die in vain." And I know that some demons in the eyes of the world are extremely holy, and the word of love also makes them sacrifice their lives and forget death, so can it be regarded as demons?"
Luo Xiaosang was shocked, and remembered what the young man and Lan Ling'er said by the burial dragon pond were exactly the same as this old man. Fu remembered that in the burial of the dragon pool, the toad had been with her for many years for the sake of purple yarn, and the purple yarn had waited for thousands of years for her husband to return, and after a pause, she asked loudly: "Who are you?"
The man in gray raised his hand to pick up the scoop, filled the bowl with fish soup, and said, "What can I be, just a fisherman by the river." Listening to Fang Cai's words, there is no doubt that this little brother must be a person in the righteous path, but the old man listens to what you said that the righteous person acts above board, but why do you want to destroy the world with the weapon in your wrist, the magic light is shining, the evil spirit is strong, the killing intent is heavy, and the hatred is strong?"
Luo Xiaosang was shocked, for the first time, for the first time since he got this black ruler, it was the first time for outsiders. The weapons used by others in the door are all immortal vines, warm and auspicious, not like a black ruler, when the sacrifice is raised, the black gas is permeated, and the violent killing intent in the chest wants to break out of the body.
Although I don't want to admit it, the black ruler in my hand is indeed not like the thing used by people in the righteous path.
Luo Xiaosang looked up at the man in gray, the aroma of the fish soup was thick, the man in gray looked bright, as if waiting for him to answer, just about to speak, but the man in gray said: "You don't have to ask me why I know, things in the world, everyone is proficient, just like I live by this river, fish for a living, what fish are in the water, where are fish, what are the habits, I know very well." If you wait for the immortals who come and go, you will not be as good as me. ”
Luo Xiaosang said: "I, I don't know what this black ruler is, I picked it up." ”
The gray-clothed man said: "The magic weapon of the world, those who are destined to get it, and no matter whether it is right or evil, the little brother can be regarded as a deep blessing." Immortal magic weapons, although the old man has heard of it, but he has never seen it, I wonder if the little brother can borrow the weapon in his hand to borrow the old man's view, in order to comfort the old man's wish for many years?"
Luo Xiaosang was attracted by the words of the man in gray, and in the depths of his heart, he didn't want to figure out what this black ruler connected with his flesh and blood was, and the black circle in his hand came out and turned into a black ruler, and he said a little shyly: "My weapon is so ugly that it can't be put on the table." ”
The light in the eyes of the gray-clothed man flashed, took the black ruler, and said: "It's okay, the magic weapons in the world have different shapes and have their own advantages." He looked at it carefully.
After a while, the gray-clothed man handed the black ruler back to Luo Xiaosang in his hand and said, "Little brother, your black ruler is faintly red, dare to ask if when you got this black ruler, did it drip into your own essence and blood?"
Luo Xiaosang was stunned for a moment, thinking that when he first got the black ruler, his own essence blood flowed into the ruler body from the palm of his hand, and he was almost sucked dry, so he couldn't help but nodded.
The gray-clothed man saw Luo Xiaosang nodding and said: "There are also blood sacrificial magic weapons in the Demon Sect, and the essence blood of the treasure practitioner is sacrificed to it, except for the treasure practitioner himself, others make it impossible for others, and the blood is soaring when it is wielded. Your black ruler is similar, but it's always different. I see that it is full of evil spirits, and the demonic flames are monstrous, but strangely it seems to be restrained in it, little brother, do you know why?"
Luo Xiaosang remembered that Zisha had also asked this question in the burial of Longtan Zisha, and suddenly remembered the Zhikong monk in the back mountain of Panjia Village, and remembered the black beads he had entrusted him.
It must be the fusion of the black bead and the black ruler that makes the black ruler restrained, but why is this so, I am afraid that no one can explain it, thinking of the benevolent face of the monk Zhikong, Luo Xiaosang shook his head.
The gray-clothed man stared at Luo Xiaosang, as if he wanted to distinguish the authenticity, and seeing Luo Xiaosang's firm face, he continued: "This is not the first time that such a monstrous thing of demonic flames has appeared in the world, and its reason can be traced back to the period of the Great War of Gods and Demons. After the defeat of the demon clan as the god lord and the creatures of this realm, he was unwilling to retreat from this world, and the demon spirit was resentful, and the monster was derived. I look at this black ruler with a lot of anger, and I don't know how many demon spirits have been condensed to derive this ruler. It's strange that you can't pour your anger into your heart and die of madness for it. However, you may not be aware of it when you first use it, but after a long time, no matter how firm your mind is, it will be affected, lose your heart, and become a monster who only knows how to kill. ”
