Chapter 16: The Nature of the Heart (II)

"Strength, like drunkenness, is like drunkenness, and like alcoholism and addiction, it is easier for people to become drunk and crazy, and lose themselves. ”

Di Lao's voice echoed leisurely in Chu Liuxian's ears.

Chu Liuxian nodded secretly.

He could understand the veteran of a hundred battles.

Once crisscrossed the battlefield, survived a hundred battles, and single-handedly killed people, in his eyes, what is the difference between ordinary people and the chickens and ducks that are killed by the neck?

When looking at people, when they see their necks, they think about how much strength they use and where they can kill them; when a person approaches, his first reaction is to be vigilant, and to strike first.

A veteran of a hundred battles, he returned to the town, but he could no longer adapt to the life of ordinary people.

Chu Liuxian retracted his gaze, and the look of the veteran of a hundred battles made him uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, he also had a similar idea, the magic weapon that can move mountains and reclaim the sea, the magic that can call the wind and rain, and looking back at mortals, and even weaker monks, it feels like looking at a fish on a chopping board.

After all, Chu Liuxian is a monk, sitting on the Shenxiao Chu clan and Taoist classics, and has the guidance of a famous teacher, he can know that it is a demon in his heart, an imbalance in his heart, so he refrains from it, so he reverses it.

The veteran of a hundred battles was different.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just looked at the other people like ants, out of place, and his madness was hidden in his calm.

If this continues, sooner or later this person will be lost, and he will be taken advantage of by the demons in his heart and do things that he will regret for the rest of his life. ”

Chu Liuxian's heart just flashed this thought, the veteran of a hundred battles in the town walked to the mouth of an alley, "oops", a little girl dressed in red, jumping like fire rushed out of it with laughter and crashed into the veteran.

Chu Liuxian "chuckled", knowing that it was not good.

At that moment, he could see the old soldier's frightened war horse, and his eyes turned red. instinctively "helped" the little girl.

Holding the little girl's slender neck with one hand, the muscles all over her body are tense, and she is ready to exert her strength!

Seeing that something unbearable was about to happen, the veteran of a hundred battles was suddenly stunned, like six top yang bones fully opened, a basin of cold water poured in, shivered, and calmed down.

He relaxed his tense muscles, and his hand, which was about to break the little girl's neck, slid down, helping the frightened little girl to her feet.

From start to finish. Except for Chu Liuxian and Di Lao in the high place, including the little girl herself, she didn't notice anything abnormal, the crowd was still flowing, the little girl stood up straight, smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.

In the noisy street market, the veterans of a hundred battles had palpitations and stood there in a daze, indescribably lonely......

Chu Liuxian let out a long breath and withdrew his gaze from the veteran. glanced at Di Lao beside him.

Di Lao is putting his hand back into his sleeve.

At that critical moment, if he hadn't made a secret move, I am afraid that the market would have been noisy, and a bud-like life would have disappeared. A veteran is immersed in remorse, and the tragedy is irreparable.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go to the next place. ”

Di Lao re-grabbed Chu Liuxian's arm and rose into the clouds again.

Until the two of them soared through the clouds, and the noise of the street market gradually became inaudible. The veteran of a hundred battles still looks like a statue.

Chu Liuxian didn't ask anything more this time, and vaguely grasped the purpose of the Shenxiao Chu Clan Elder Council and Elder Di.

Even, he still had a faint sense of anticipation.

Silently followed Di Lao. They went to the next place.

The lake is like a mirror, the water town is picturesque, there is an arched bridge like a rainbow in the sky, and the moon is in the water like a canopy boat, which is beautiful.

The people in the water town are not as prosperous and noisy and crowded as in the town, but they are a little more leisurely and simple.

Following the routine of finding a high place, Di Lao and Chu Liuxian fell.

This time, Di Lao didn't indicate to Chu Liuxian what to observe, but just stood quietly beside him, as if he was also intoxicated by the scenery of this water town.

Di Lao didn't say anything, and Chu Liuxian didn't ask, just stared down.

Water towns, sparse crowds, many fish sellers, angular and other aquatic products walk the streets and alleys.

There was a young girl, an old man, and an old beggar with a sad face, and even begging seemed absent-minded, and kept looking at something on the side of the street.

In an instant, Chu Liuxian saw all the pain, despair, reluctance, and hatred on the old beggar's face full of folds and dust.

Involuntarily, he focused most of his attention on the old beggar, suspecting that she was what Di Lao wanted him to see.

After a long time, Chu Liuxian saw that the old beggar's stiff body suddenly stiffened and straightened.

On the other side of the street, several officials pressed a young man with a criminal detention, coming from far and near.

The young man was covered in wounds, stumbled, and his face full of grief and indignation, but he could only drag his chains, trying to keep up with the servants.

At the passage place, blood droplets fell on the bluestone slab, and the word "injustice" almost fainted.

"My son~~~~"

The old beggar jumped up as if struck by lightning, and cried and pounced on her, but the servants could not come near, and no matter how much she stretched out her arms, she could not touch the young man.

Between mother and son, a few feet apart, straight as a moat.

Height, Chu Liuxian's brows furrowed.

"Stay immortal. ”

Di Lao's voice sounded at the right time, "Look over there." ”

Chu Liuxian looked in the direction pointed by Di Lao, but saw that on the arch bridge on the lake, an eight-lifted sedan chair was going on the bridge.

There are servants in front and behind the eight sedan chairs, wantonly driving passers-by, and their ferocity and tyranny make everyone dare not go up to the bridge to fight with them.

On the wide bridge deck, only the sedan chair is swaying forward.

As if hearing the cry of the old beggar, a hand stretched out from the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and glanced into the street.

"Humph!"

The person in the sedan sedan snorted coldly, as if he was disdainful, and lowered the curtain and told the sedan chair driver to go quickly.

Chu Liuxian saw it clearly by lifting the curtain, and in the sedan chair was a middle-aged man who was as fat as a pig, no wonder the eight strong men in the sedan chair were still panting, and the weight of it could be imagined.

Originally, he didn't care too much about the person in the sedan chair, but at the critical moment, Di Lao's voice sounded again.

"This man is the eldest son of the old beggar and the eldest brother of the prisoner!"

"Huh?!"

Chu Liuxian looked back in amazement and looked at Di Lao in disbelief. He didn't see even the slightest feeling of blood kinship from the reactions of the people in the sedan chair, only endless coldness, disdain, and even pride.

Di Lao was unaware of his gaze, and continued to say slowly: "His people poured all their wealth into the family and raised strong people to think that they were cowards. Ransack several villages, but on the surface it is a big businessman. ”

He drove his mother out of the house and framed his brother in prison for a little money, and boredom him with the persuasion of both of them. ”

"The viciousness of his people, for the sake of wealth and the destruction of human nature, can be described as: 'human demons'. ”

Chu Liuxian listened silently, and roughly understood what Elder Di meant by letting him watch this scene.

If the veteran of a hundred battles before was powerful, so he was lost in power and couldn't extricate himself, then this "human demon" is for power. Annihilate human nature, diligently pursue, and devour the demons of the heart.

"What's next?

Chu Liuxian was curious in his heart, but said lightly: "Old Di, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he gently flicked his sleeve, as if to shake off the dust that had fallen on his clothes.

At this moment, eight large sedans arrived in the center of the bridge. The old beggar was pushed to the ground by the servants, and the young prisoner was unable to support his mother.

The next moment, there was a rumbling sound, and the arch bridge across the lake collapsed without warning. The eight-carried sedan chair fell into the lake, and the people and demons who were as fat as pigs did not float again;

The slender electric light wandered away, and several of the servants stiffened and could not move, and could only watch as the young prisoner's torture instrument broke apart. Out of their grasp.

Finally, when calm was restored in the lake, the young prisoner helped the old mother away. Originally, the place where Chu Liuxian and Di Lao were was empty, and there was no one left......

......

"What's going on here?"

Chu Liuxian felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

After watching the veterans of a hundred battles and demons, he had great expectations, and he was mentally prepared to see the tragedy of the world again, but the scene that appeared in front of him was a group of children pouring out of the private school, playing and playing.

"What's going on?"

Chu Liuxian looked at Di Lao speechlessly, but saw that Di Lao was also looking around, a little disappointed.

"How could it not be?"

Di Lao scratched his head, tugged Chu Liuxian's arm, and in the next period of time, he walked through dozens of private schools, and finally stopped in the sky above a clan school.

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's very common, it's really hell today, you see!"

Di Lao stretched out his hand and pointed downward.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, Chu Liuxian saw only seven or eight boys avoiding the teacher's gaze and playing around in the corner.

At first glance, he became more and more speechless, and said: "Is it common, can it not be common? A group of hairy children fight......

What Elder Di wanted Chu Liuxian to see was indeed a group of children's fights.

"See what's going on?"

Di Lao regained his calm and breezy appearance, and asked pointedly.

"Hmm!"

Chu Liuxian naturally knew that a character like Di Lao would not be untargeted, so he calmed down and observed, and soon found out what Di Lao wanted him to see.

Among the group of children, there was a childish child, but as tall and strong as an adult, who was innocent, and was pushed by another child on the shoulders step by step, and soon fell into the corner of the wall.

What is surprising is that the child who pushed and shoved was only at the chest of the tall child, but he had a fierce face, and after forcing the tall child into a corner, there was a burst of punches and kicks.

The tall boy didn't dare to fight back, holding his head in his hands and letting it kick and beat, and finally howling and crying.

The little one got tired of the fight and triumphantly walked away surrounded by the other children, leaving the tall child sobbing incessantly.

When Chu Liuxian saw this, in addition to being angry with the tall kid, he roughly understood Di Lao's intentions.

These children are all members of the same family, and there is no distinction between high and low in their clothing, which can only lead to a problem of people's hearts.

Similar situations are not uncommon, and everyone has seen them.

"Do you understand?"

Di Lao asked with a smile on his face.

"Hmm. Chu Liuxian bowed slightly, and said: "There is no power, there is no matching heart, and it is deceived by others." ”

"What else?"

Di Lao asked inquiringly.

Chu Liuxian knew that what Di Lao wanted to hear was his comments and insights on the three scenes he saw, but this time he didn't plan to leave according to the other party's script.

He looked into Di Lao's eyes and asked:

"Is there something wrong with Razor?" (to be continued......)
