Chapter 46 Speaking of righteousness, the Ye family is in danger
Are you righteous or demonic?
Ye Qi's question was very sharp, and several elders surnamed Ye here frowned, but no one could stand up and deserve to be upright.
You are both righteous and demonic.
Seeing that no one answered, Ye Qi added another sentence in his heart.
For the sake of the family's interests, for the ambition of annexing each other's cannibalism, the three families can let the devil run rampant and sit back and watch their clansmen be killed, in their eyes, these are all pawns that can be used.
Chess pieces, when they lose the value of use, become outcasts. No one cares what happens to them.
"It's okay, then let's disperse. At this point in the discussion, everyone had some pimples in their hearts, and before they were stiff, Ye Hongfeng chose to end the topic.
Ye Qi didn't speak, just saluted again and retreated with Duanmu Qiu.
It was originally a kind reminder to try to expose the conspiracy of the Demon Gate, but it turned out that the cruel reality is that the righteous path seems to be more like the Demon Dao, or in this world, there is no righteous path.
In fact, if you want to trace it back, the good and the evil are not separated, but the concept is different. Then for their own interests, they began to smear each other, and then they gradually had the current positive and the current demon.
Everyone has a balance in their hearts, and when they are born, they are balanced, and there is no inherent goodness and no inherent evil.
And then as it slowly grows, the ideas in the world begin to pile up, and the "positive" ones are put here, and the "demonic" ones are put there. When the idea of which side is heavy, that person shows something.
But what can be found is that the other end of the scale is not empty, so there is no absolute right, and there is no absolute demon.
"Wood, am I wrong?" Ye Qi walked on the way back, the heaviness in his heart made his words become low, and even the joy of the original breakthrough was diluted.
Even if he had known about the righteous path for a long time, he still didn't expect that it had reached such a point.
Duanmu Qiu also walked silently, he saw that Ye Qi was in a mood now, and he didn't take the initiative to speak, until Ye Qi asked him, he didn't speak.
"There are so many rights and wrongs in the world, but a person's own approval and denial. If there are more people who agree with it, that thing is right, and if there are more people who deny it, that thing is wrong. ”
"If you say that, I'm wrong. Ye Qi laughed, a little self-deprecating, knowing that he had taken it for granted a little just now.
Who is himself, but he is just a small sword cultivator in the Sword Immortal Hall of Shiwei Mountain, whether it is the elders of the Ye family here, or Ye Hongfeng, the head of the Ye family, they look at the level of the problem, and they are not the same as themselves.
Just like Ye Hualiang said just now, it is a helpless choice.
Whenever people retreat and are cowardly, he always helplessly says that there is no way, and whenever people do irreparable things, he always helplessly says that there is no choice.
"Is it possible to muddy a pool of clear water with helplessness?" Ye Qichacha, his scales, biased justice has always been thicker, and there are many rejections of these negative things.
Duanmu Qiu shook his head and shook his head, obviously seeing these thoroughly, and it was also commonplace. I'm afraid that in Duanmu's family, there are not a few things like this.
"When a drop of ink drops into clear water, no matter how much you stir it, it can't turn back into clear water. On the contrary, it will become more and more muddy. ”
Walking in the Ye Family Leaf Garden, the cold of winter is extra commensurate with the mood, and the cold wind on the pavement pierces the bones, and it hurts my heart.
On the surface of the pool, the naughty golden-scaled fish jumped up again, but there was a lot more earth color in the faint ripples.
The pool, after all, is still muddy.
――――
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the fourth day of Ye Qi's arrival in Yunzhou, he didn't sleep sweetly yesterday, and his heart was disturbed a lot, and his mind was groggy.
"Bang!" A powerful and rhythmic knock on the door sounded, and the voices of the Ye family's subordinates came from outside the door.
"Ye Gongzi, the master is in the living room, please come over and have something to discuss. ”
Something? Anything other than yesterday's incident.
The first reaction in Ye Qi's mind was yesterday's incident, could it be that Old Man Ye wanted to reprimand him today because of his disrespectful words? No, Old Man Ye didn't have that much spare time.
What could it be, I heard the knock on the door in a hurry, and there must be something going on.
Thinking about it in his mind, Ye Qi got dressed and hurried towards the living room, just when he happened to meet Duanmu Qiu, who was also in a hurry, and the two converged.
When I came to the living room, none of the elders surnamed Ye came yesterday, only Ye Hongfeng was alone, and he didn't sit down with his hands behind his back, so there was something worrying.
Seeing that Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu had arrived, he got straight to the point and said: "Ye Xiaoyou, and Duanmu Xiaoyou, I'm afraid that the Ye family won't be able to keep you." You'd better leave as soon as possible and leave Yunzhou. ”
Ye Qi thought it was something, but he didn't expect Ye Hongfeng to say this, his face was full of confusion, and Duanmu Qiu also had a similar look.
"Old man Ye, could it be that I ...... yesterday?"
"No, no, it's not because of yesterday's incident, but my Ye family really can't keep you, if you stay in the Ye family any longer, I'm afraid that there will be danger." ”
Ye Hongfeng shook his head, saying that it was not as Ye Qi guessed, but because of his disrespectful words yesterday.
Danger? How can it be dangerous?
"Could it be that a demon cultivator has come to avenge the dead snake monarch?" Ye Qi could only think of this possibility, other than that, he didn't seem to have provoked others. Of course, except for the Han family fairy, which is a last resort.
"Well, see for yourselves. Ye Hongfeng knew that his words were unfounded, so he took a letter from the table, on which were written in five big words: "Brother Ye personally enlightened".
Look at the words, see the people. These five words, whether in terms of the tone of the title or the style trend, have a kind of condescending arrogance, and it is unusual to be able to treat Ye Hongfeng like this.
Ye Qi knew it in his heart, and the contents of the envelope surprised him and Duanmu Qiu.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan survived in the end.
Originally, this was a good thing, and Li Yan was able to testify that all of this was the conspiracy of the Snake King. But after yesterday's battle, they know that the truth is not so important.
However, the message brought in this letter is far from that simple.
"How can he be like this, make something out of nothing!" Duanmu Qiu flicked his sleeves, and his tone was not good.
Ye Qi crumpled the letter paper, trying to calm his mood, he had already seen the face of the righteous monk, and this paper was undoubtedly the ugliest.
The general content of the letter is that Li Yan was captured by the snake king, and later escaped by luck, and after he returned to the Li family, he had already explained the ins and outs of the matter. It was Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu, together with the Demon Cultivator Snake King, who captured him.
After Li Yuanshan, the head of the Li family, learned the news, he repaired the book as soon as possible, asking Ye Hongfeng to hand over Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu, and not to harbor the rebellion of colluding with the demon cultivator.
At the end of the letter, Li Yuanshan also left the words "don't go to war", which could not be more obvious threat.
The meaning of the letter is already obvious, either hand over Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu, or the Li family will take it themselves. Ye Hongfeng's words yesterday haven't been said for long, and they are really fulfilled today.
The Li family, really trying every possible way to find an excuse, is the Ye family, the weakest piece of meat.
"Old man Ye, when did this letter arrive. Ye Qi didn't put anger on his face, and now there are more important things, that is, himself and Duanmu Qiu, as well as the problems of the Ye family.
"Just this morning. Ye Hongfeng paced back and forth in front of the hall, he knew that the Ye family was in decline, and he was not the material for cultivation, so he resolutely chose to do business, just to dilute the attention of the other two.
But after so many years of hard work, the Ye family's business is getting better and better, but the strength of cultivation is getting worse and worse, and what's worse is that it can be seen from their secret suppression of Ye Sansheng that the sight of the other two has never left!
Now, petty fights are no longer enough to satisfy them, and the hunters who are hiding in the shadows will launch traps to harvest their prey. And this incident is undoubtedly the best excuse.
"Then what should we do?" Ye Qi knew that now was not the time to procrastinate, once the opportunity was really seized, he was afraid that it would be a nightmare tragedy, and he couldn't bear the burden.
Ye Hongfeng kept pacing, his hands behind his back, still the same sentence just now.
"Now you hurry up and leave Yunzhou City, I'm afraid it's too late, and the Li family will be unfavorable to you. ”
It's not that he's afraid of being bad for Ye Qi and them, Ye Hongfeng is even more afraid that the Li family will find a charge of harboring rebellion and forcibly attack the Ye family. It's just that these words naturally can't be said to Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu.
"Okay, let's leave. Ye Qi did not hesitate and immediately agreed. "Wood, let's go quickly, we can't make trouble for Old Man Ye, if we stay for a long time, it will also be bad for us. ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the noise outside, and within a moment, someone hurriedly ran in to report to Ye Hongfeng.
"Master, it's not good, the outside is already surrounded by the monks of the Li family and the Han family!"
"The Li family, the Han family!" Ye Hongfeng trembled all over, and the most worrying thing still came.
The Li family came too quickly, and the letter just now was not like a negotiation, but more like a verdict announcing death. There is also the Han family, but I didn't expect to choose to join forces with the Li family.
"Could it be that the sky is going to kill my Ye family!"
"Master of the Ye family, I have a way to get the Ye family out of implication!" Ye Qi didn't expect that the Li family would come so quickly, and as soon as he learned the news, they had already surrounded the Ye family.
But now, Ye Qi has already thought of a way to make the Li family's abacus not sound.
At least, the annexation of the Ye family will definitely not fulfill their wishes.
――――
"Ye Hongfeng, you dare to harbor rebellion, for the sake of righteousness, today my Han and Li families will ask the Ye family for an explanation!"
Outside the door, Li Yuanshan's strong voice came in through the courtyard.
Although the head of the Li family has a rough voice, he is a shrewd and calculating person, he opened his mouth this time, and put the Han family in front, and if he really wants to worry about it in the future, the relationship with the Li family is lighter.
Beside Li Yuanshan, the head of the Han family, who came with him, had a trace of displeasure on his face, but the two families cooperated today, and they couldn't turn their faces immediately.
At this moment, the door of the Ye family, with a "squeak", opened.
