[PS: The moment has come to decide the fate of this book, begging for subscription.] 】
As he said this, the coachman was completely stunned, and murmured, "Master, be quiet." ”
Ning Caichen didn't care about him, but was shocked to find that the desire in his heart became stronger and stronger, and finally evolved into the hottest greed, greed for money, fame, and status.
It's as if his desires have been magnified countless times, and Chi Guoguo's reaction has come to reality.
"This is the first realm of purgatory, greed is the nature, a thousand times magnified greed in the heart...... How did you do that?" Ning Caichen muttered softly.
The groom looked at him worriedly and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Ning Caichen woke up like a dream and waved his hand: "I'm fine, where is the master?"
"What master, sir, aren't you stunned?" asked the groom, puzzled.
Ning Caichen lifted the curtains, looked left and right, and really saw soldiers in bright armor, and men dressed as scribes.
"Twenty-four elite soldiers, with bright armor. The carriage is wide and luxurious, not ordinary. How can such a character not even have a master?" Ning Caichen frowned and thought, and said to the groom: "It's a nightmare, you continue to hurry, don't worry about me." ”
The wheels rolled, time passed, and after a long time, the carriage finally came to a county seat, and was blocked by a group of people dressed as officials and squires.
"Excuse me, it's Ning Caichen in the car, Ning County Order?" an official wearing a black veil stepped out of the crowd and bowed down.
Ning Caichen lifted the curtain. Got out of the carriage: "It's me, who are you?
"Xiaguan Jiaping County. Liu Sidao, with the Jiaping officials and squires, went out of the city to welcome the county commander to take office. The Wusha official said, leaning to the ground, and behind him, all the officials and squires fell to their knees.
After reading too many books about officials being embarrassed when they took office, Ning Caichen was a little uncomfortable with such a respectful and docile subordinate. So much so that he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and personally helped Liu Sidao up: "Liu County, please get up." Everybody, get up quickly. ”
When everyone heard this, they stood up, and Liu Sidao opened his mouth and said, "My lord, the officials have prepared a banquet in the county government, and they have invited your lord to the banquet." ”
Under the gaze of countless sincere eyes. Ning Caichen nodded. "Then let's go, let's go into the city." ”
Outside, in a wide and bright palace, countless people worked in pairs, guarding in front of a silver mirror, watching the content of the candidates' exams.
In the northwest corner, in front of a silver mirror with Ning Caichen's name pasted on it, the scorer spoke: "Ning Caichen." Deduct one point. ”
The bachelor in charge of the record was slightly stunned and said, "This point." Wouldn't it be normal for people to just go to a banquet?"
"I didn't refuse the banquet, but took the initiative to participate and deduct points. The judge said calmly.
"But ......"
"No, but. The judge turned his eyes and said: "This banquet may be eaten with the flesh and blood of the common people, so points must be deducted." ”
The bachelor of record glanced at Ning Caichen in the mirror regretfully, sighed in his heart, and wrote on the information card in his hand: Participating in the banquet, one point will be deducted, and the remaining points will be ninety-nine.
On the banquet, there are countless delicious wines and delicacies, and beautiful girls in dance skirts dance lightly on their toes. Liu Sidao invited Ning Caichen to the throne, and he himself sat down with the officials and squires, raised a glass of wine and said, "Respect the county commander." ”
"Lord Jing Xianling. The rest of the people followed and toasted, with sincerity.
Ning Caichen frowned slightly, and there was always a bad premonition brewing in his heart. But isn't it the first realm of greed now? I haven't done anything greedy!
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he was slightly stunned, Liu Sidao held the wine glass with an embarrassed expression and asked.
"Ah, it's fine. Ning Caichen drank all the wine in the cup and said, "I just remembered something." ”
"One more point. Outside, the judge said.
The Recorder pursed his lips, and wanted to say that this deduction was very unreasonable. How can you refuse others when you don't know anything and countless people are still sincere?
However, even though he had a lot of ideas in his heart, he had no intention of defending Ning Caichen anymore, and wrote directly: "If you drink and have fun, one point will be deducted, and the remaining points will be ninety-eight." ”
"My lord, we're here to feed you. Just as Ning Caichen put down his glass, a pair of beautiful twin sisters came to his side, one holding a wine and the other holding a glow-in-the-dark glass.
Looking at the two sisters who were good-looking, Ning Caichen felt an itch in his heart, and a feeling of wanting to hold them in his arms and wantonly ravage/ravage came to his heart.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his back was covered with cold sweat, and sweat rippled on his forehead.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" the twin sisters noticed that something was wrong with him, and quickly knelt down beside him, anxiously asked.
Ning Caichen struggled to endure the surging desires in his heart, waved his arm to break the luminous glass, overturned the wine, and said word by word: "I'm sorry everyone, this official is a little overwhelmed, Liu Xiancheng, you can send me back to the room." ”
Liu Sidao hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, I will send the adults to the resting house." ”
Leaving the table halfway and coming all the way to a clean and tidy room, Liu Sidao spoke: "This is the room we have prepared for adults, are you satisfied?"
"Very good. Ning Caichen walked into the house, waved his hand at him and said: "Under the fatigue of the boat and the lack of alcohol, the official's brain is dizzy, and he wants to lie quietly for a while. Liu Xiancheng, you go and go about your own business first. ”
"Yes. Liu Xiancheng was humble, bowed and left.
Sitting on the wooden floor in the room, Ning Caichen took a deep breath, and it took a lot of effort to stop the surging greedy desire. But the moment he got up, he saw a Nanmu box on the table.
With a hint of premonition in his heart, he walked over to the table and opened the box. Sure enough, the chest was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which gave him a strong impact.
Ning Caichen never thought that these things would one day make him want to stop. After all, since occupying Jinhua, he has not lacked ordinary gold and silver.
Greed was bewitching his soul, making him silently accept these things. He was constantly advised that the money was not for him to be collected, and that it was no different from the poor people that it would end up with the poor if it was left with the officials and squires, and with him and with himself.
The whole person was stunned for a long time, Ning Caichen slammed the box shut, turned around and left resolutely, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
In the middle of the night, he got lost, came to a bamboo forest, found a boulder by the moonlight and sat down, blowing a cool breeze, and recovering his ups and downs.
It's just that the more he wants to care about this, the more he cares in his heart. Shame, anger, dissatisfaction, all kinds of emotions tore at his heart, making the anger in his heart grow stronger and stronger, and finally firmly believed that those officials and squires were harming him, and hatred began to appear.
Ning Caichen thought that this was the first realm of purgatory, and he was greedy. In fact, this is a world where the seven realms are one, and his whole heart is now filled with greed, anger, and hatred.
Greed, anger as the root, hatred as an end, at this moment, appeared together. (To be continued.) )
