From escaping from the capital, crossing thousands of miles of starvation, and entering the treacherous barren mountains, in those turbulent years, from a certain point of view, Xu Chen is a person who does nothing evil.
The reason why he does all kinds of evil is because there are all kinds of sins in the world in which he lives.
In order to survive in the world of all evil, he must do all kinds of evil.
Later, when he came to the capital, he came to the world of joy and joy in Qingping, and found that there were still many good people in the world, so he began to try to be a good person in the general sense.
No one wants to be a good person, and Xu Chen also wants to be a good person.
So since then, he has been learning how to be a good person, all the way to the capital.
This learning can be described as some kind of disguise, or even more like the formation of a second personality.
That kind of personality is very unstable, sometimes bitter and mean, sometimes nagging, pretending to be shameless to please, some are fresh, some are cute.
If he faced external pressure, if he faced death again, that fierce and cold temperament would burst out from the deepest part of his body without hesitation.
This is true when you encounter a horse thief in the wasteland.
The same is true when the arrow shoots Prince Chen Lujie on the shore of the Holy Lake.
It's always like that, it's not like that.
That's Xu Chen.
Before he knew it, he was in front of the portrait.
At this moment, the long-planned rain of late spring finally fell.
The rain fell from the sky, the pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and those tourists from other counties also reluctantly left, leaving only Xu Chen standing alone in front of the portrait and silent.
Needless to mention the past, today in the palace, the queen mother was shocked and half-squatted and saluted, and Xu Yijun in the general's mansion made him feel very troublesome, especially Xu's attitude, which made him very uncomfortable.
This discomfort was not anger, but a feeling of loss, because he was also a Chaoyang soldier, and like his comrades, he regarded this first person in the Chaoyang military as an idol, and when he drank and chatted, he would be in awe when he mentioned the name of the general of Zhenguo.
He remembered a certain statement about spiritual needs, he liked to chase horses and grasslands with his comrades-in-arms in Weicheng, born and died, and he liked to be respected, discussed and even feared by the people in the capital, these are all very beautiful spiritual needs.
So he wants to be a good person and be appreciated by military ministers like Xu, instead of being vigilant or even trying to get rid of him quickly, but unfortunately, things in the world can not be as good as they should be.
The spring rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the lingering mess is just like Xu Chen's mood at this time.
The solemn and beautiful portrait, wet from the rain, and the eyes that are not angry but mighty, seem to be endowed with some kind of life, and suddenly become vivid.
Ordinary people simply cannot perceive the changes in the image.
Xu Chen felt it clearly, he looked at the eyes of the portrait, felt the aura that was gradually condensing in the stone line on the ground, and knew very well what was happening.
I was once frightened by the solemn ancient intent exuded by this image, and my whole body was cold and stiff.
Later, he knew that this image was a Dao rune, which could automatically sense enemies that invaded the capital, and could unleash the power of a full blow that was close to the peak of knowing the fate.
The enemy sensed by the portrait at this time was, of course, the jade sword held in Xu Chen's hand.
With Xu Chen's cultivation realm now, it is naturally impossible to resist the breath of the portrait, but he stood in the spring rain, and his expression was extremely calm and peaceful.
Not because he had a jade sword in his hand.
but because he had a pestle in his arms.
Xu Chen put his left hand into his arms, held the pestle wrapped in cloth, looked at the portrait in front of the umbrella, and said: "Now is not the past, do you think that I will still be scared by you or become a quail in winter? I am your master now, what can you do with me?"
The owner of the rune cannot be self-appointed, but Master Lu Yin passed it on to him, and then it was confirmed by the Son of Chaoyang himself, and it was finally determined by the pestle.
The image in the rain sensed a familiar but long-lost breath coming from under the black umbrella.
A clear whistle sounded in Xu Chen's sea of knowledge, the sound was sharp and high-pitched, mixed with a little doubt, a little unwilling, a little sad and a little indifferent.
The rain kept washing, and the aura of ancient slaughter in the portrait gradually faded, until finally it fell silent and became an ordinary stone painting.
Xu Chen knew that this meant that the portrait recognized his identity.
The sadness in the whistling sound in the sea of knowledge before is the memory of the master Lu Yin.
Xu Chen stood in the rain, holding the hilt of the jade sword in his right hand and the eye-pestle of the shocking array in his left hand, feeling two completely different touches, and figured out something.
Confessing the Lord in the spring rain represents the great array of the capital city, which has become his responsibility since then, and also represents the safety of Chaoyang, and has since become a responsibility on his shoulders.
He loves the land, he likes the country, he likes the peaceful and joyful life, he likes the people who live here, so he is willing to take on this responsibility.
He is willing to use anything other than life to maintain the peace of Chaoyang, but this does not mean that he will lose his life because of this.
Holding the pestle in his left hand, he is holding the future of the rising sun and his own life.
Shake both hands and clench both hands.
If the two clash and entangle, lingering like the spring rain at this time, then what he needs to do is smash all the entanglements and dissatisfactions.
On the night on the terrace of Songhe Tower, he and Lu Yin once had such a conversation.
"The people I want to kill are very powerful, high-powered, and there are some backs and scenes that even I find tricky. ”
"You don't look like you're a person with no status. ”
"Because my teacher was amazing, of course I was amazing. Now, even compared to the giant I want to kill, the status between us can be said to be similar. ”
"Then what are you still worried about? If you want to kill, you will find an opportunity to kill. ”
"My teacher seems to be very willing for us students to be unreasonable, but in fact, he is a dead brain, very reasonable, always saying that the law is first, and the law is first, so why is it unreasonable?"
"What does unreasonableness have to do with the law? If you don't follow crooked ways, can't you kill people?"
At that time, Xu Chen thought that the object of his conversation was an ordinary rich man in the famous capital city, but now that he thinks that these words came from the teacher's mouth, these words naturally have a new meaning.
If we don't follow the crooked path, can't we kill people? If we don't follow the crooked path, can't we kill Ximenwang?
Xu Chen smiled, put away the jade sword and tied it back to his back, and just like that, he crashed headlong into the spring rain like a curtain.
"In the past, I killed you under the pretext of being nameless, but now my status is different, if I don't continue for the sake of stability and prosperity in the future, then wouldn't you die too badly?"
The rain gradually subsided, Xu Chen was about to go back to Lao Bizhai, but stopped at the entrance of the alley, turned to Chunxi Road, and entered a teahouse.
Xu has already guessed the connection between him and those Tsubaki murders, and it is even possible to link these Tsubaki murders with the General's Mansion Murder Case back then, even if this matter has not been linked for the time being, he will definitely start to protect some people, some people he wants to kill.
In addition to General Ximen Wang, there are still people alive, and if Xu Chen wants to kill the other party, he must compete with the imperial court for time.
Sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the dripping raindrops outside the fence, he thought carefully about the steps and made sure that it would not cause too much trouble, so he began to prepare.
He asked the shopkeeper for pen and paper, and after a little thought, began to write quickly, hastily wrote a letter, and then sealed it, ready for the carriage and horse to send the letter away.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The man also saw him and said in surprise: "Xu Chen, why are you here?"
Xu Chen sneered and said, "Pan An, you didn't go to the academy today, be careful to let your old man know, and directly cut off your money." ”
