Yue Ruohe asked Xie Zishe: "Senior sister Xie, do you often come to Biyutian?"

Xie Zishe said, "I often come here to study."

Yue Ruohe sighed: "I have taken the class of Mr. Follower from the Confucian and Taoist Academy in the past six months. I am afraid that I will get a C, so I will answer the questions again."

Xie Zishe asked: "How to say?"

Yue Ruohe said: "There is only one question in the exam. What should I write? From 'kill one person' and 'kill ten thousand people' on Confucianism, kingship and chivalry. I didn't attend the class, so I don't know what 'kill one person' or 'kill ten thousand people' means. What a nonsense."

Xie Zishe refilled a glass of wine for himself, and said, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, those who steal the country will be lords, if you kill one person, you will be a thief, and if you kill ten thousand people, you will become a hero."

"It turns out to be like this," Yue Ruohe said, "Then how to solve it?"

"Would you rather be the thief who kills one person, or the hero who kills ten thousand?"

Yue Ruohe said: "I don't want to kill people."

"Killing people is really not very interesting," Xie Zishe said, "In my opinion, killing one person is a thief, killing ten thousand people is still a thief."

Yue Ruohe: "How do you say that?"

The rest of the people also looked at Xie Zishe.

Xie Zishe looked at Ling Fengxiao: "Miss, what do you think?"

Ling Fengxiao roasted the bamboo rat, slowly brushed the ingredients, half of his face was illuminated by the flames, and said calmly: "Kill one person as a thief, kill 10 people as bandits, and kill [-] people as owls."

Xie Zishe said: "Then according to what the eldest lady sees, how can one be a hero?"

Ling Fengxiao said: "Kill 10 people to save 10 people, kill [-] people to save a million people, you are a hero."

There was a moment of silence in the pavilion, only the sound of "cracking" firewood burning.

After a long time, Xie Zishe clapped his hands and praised: "Excellent."

Ling Fengxiao remained expressionless, still earnestly grilling and deboning meat.

After a while, I only heard Cang Min say: "But I think that the 10 people who died for the lives of 10 people, and the [-] people who died for the lives of millions of people, actually did nothing wrong."

Xie Zishe said: "If someone wants to kill 10 people for [-] people, what should you do?"

Cang Min thought for a while, and said: "I want to die for those ten thousand people, fighting against 10 people, and I feel that I have a clear conscience."

Xie Zishe said: "This is 'Xia Dao'."

Cang Min said: "Master, what about you?"

Xie Zishe said: "I would like to use my whole life to find the method, so that those ten thousand people don't have to die, but 10 people can live."

Yue Ruoyun said: "This must be 'Confucianism and Taoism'."

Xie Zishe looked at Yue Ruohe with a smile: "What is the kingly way, what is the chivalrous way, and what is the Confucian way, do you understand?"

Yue Ruohe nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

At this time, Cang Min seemed to remember something, and touched Lin Shu with his elbow: "Junior Brother Lin, what are you going to do in this situation."

Lin Shu was quietly eating rats, but he was suddenly drawn into the discussion and thought about it carefully.

He felt that if he was one of those 10 people, he would feel a little innocent in his death, and if he was one of those [-] people, he would feel a little reasonable. After thinking about it, he didn't think who was right or who was wrong.

Like the tens of thousands of corpses in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, it is really difficult to judge.

And if I am an outsider, I have nothing to do with both parties, and probably do nothing.

He said, "I'm watching."

The eldest lady looked at the flames, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled deeply.

Xie Zishe looked at him with great interest, and asked, "Why don't you do it?"

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "You guys have to worry about it."

——In this case, there are kings, Confucianists, and chivalrous men to quarrel and make decisions.

Yue Ruoyun let out a "puchi" laugh.

Xie Zishe looked at him for a long time, then sighed softly: "You are indeed unique."

Lin Shu didn't speak.

Xie Zishe said: "This is the 'Xiandao'."

Yue Ruohe asked: "How to say?"

Xie Zishe raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said, "Immortal Dao has been in decline for a long time."

After saying this, when others asked again, she just smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Lin Shu was also a little puzzled.

There are many disciples in the Immortal Dao Academy. Everyone practices martial arts and Taoism diligently every day. All of them have high realms and powerful mana. The Immortal Dao is very prosperous and cannot be said to have declined.

But he thought about it again, Xie Zishe said that he is "Xiandao", then this "Xiandao" probably does not refer to the immortal way in the secular sense, but refers to a salted fish like him who eats and waits to die.

Those disciples who actively served the dynasty after graduating from the academy, or developed and expanded the family sect, were not the "immortal way" that Xie Zishe said.

And there are very few salted fish like myself, and the "Xiandao" has indeed declined.

After the talk, several people chatted and laughed again, the wine was dry, and the laughter continued, all of them were very happy.At the mid-day of the month, when the wine was full, the wine cups, bamboo sticks, and rat bones were packed away, the fire was extinguished, and the ashes were buried in the snow. Then they said goodbye and went back to their rooms.

Although Lin Shu didn't take the initiative to speak, but because they chatted about the Huandang Mountain, he answered a lot of questions.He felt that he had talked too much that day, even if he didn't drink, he was a little dizzy, and he felt better when he walked on the road and was blown by the wind.

When they came, there was only a thin layer of snow, but when they left, it was three fingers deep. When they stepped on it, it creaked and left a footprint.

The eldest lady asked: "Is it cold?"

Lin Shudao: "It's not cold."

The eldest lady said "hmm", went to hold his hand, and said, "The road is not smooth."

Lin Shu was led and walked back slowly.

This road seems to be extremely long, and there is no way to go to the end, and the eldest lady did not speak.

Lin Shu felt that the eldest lady's expression was a bit wrong, as if she had something on her mind.

After walking for a while, the eldest lady opened her mouth and said calmly, "Xie Zishe said that killing 10 people to save [-] people is the kingly way. Although I agree, but if there is a choice, I would rather be a hero or a fairy."

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "I know."

The eldest lady said this before, and even my cousin, after leaving the maze, said that his life was nothing more than the four words "involuntary".

Just as she was thinking, she heard Ling Fengxiao say a word softly.

Lin Shu's words sounded familiar, it seemed to be a sentence from an ancient book.

It is "the father gave birth to me, and the mother bowed to me. The virtue that I want to repay is the best in the sky."

Lin Shu listened.

He also knows that there is a saying in ancient books that "the filth of the country is called the master of the country, and the bad luck of the country is the king of the world".

To me, Nanxia doesn't mean much, but Ling Fengxiao is different.

Ling Fengxiao grew up in Nanxia, ​​and was even born in the Nanxia royal family, Fenghuang Villa, which is also the sect that controls half of Nanxia's country, and Ling Fengxiao is not a heartless person.

Therefore, it is impossible for the eldest lady to be a hero or a fairy, but she must suffer from the country's filth and misfortune.

The eldest lady is like this, so is Xiao Lingyang, but Xiao Lingyang doesn't look like he can become a master, and others need to spend more effort.

And it's justifiable for the eldest lady to be involuntary all her life, and to cultivate such cruel mind and sword techniques, and to have a bad temper.

He looked at Ling Fengxiao.

Under the wind lantern hanging by the roadside, amidst the vast snow in the sky, Duling Fengxiao has black hair like black ink, bright red clothes, and picturesque eyebrows, as if all the colors of the world have merged into this person.

Lin Shu rarely has wishes.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought, he hoped that the world would be clean, and the singing and dancing would be peaceful.

In that way, the eldest lady only needs to look good.

Then let Ma Nanshan go, be a fairy or a chivalrous man, indulge in one's heart and soul.

When he was in college, his roommate accompanied his girlfriend to go shopping all day. After returning home, he complained to others about how picky his girlfriend's eyes were, but he couldn't tell the difference in those clothes, jewelry, lipstick and perfume.

But he felt that if it was the eldest lady, he would be willing to accompany her and would not complain.

The eldest lady said: "What do you see me doing?"

Lin Shu said: "...you look good."

Missy laughed.

After laughing, the eyelashes drooped down, and while leading him forward, he said, "There is something I want to tell you."

Lin Shu: "Yes."

The eldest lady said: "I'm going to retreat."

Lin Shu was taken aback.

Retreating is the normal feeling of cultivators.

The eldest lady must also go to retreat, and after she comes out of the retreat, her cultivation base will be greatly improved.

but......

He thought about it blankly, but didn't come up with a "but", only asked: "How long will it be closed?"

The eldest lady said: "Within three years."

Lin Shu: "...um."

They walked forward in silence, after a while, Ling Fengxiao said: "I don't want to shut up, I want to play with you."

Lin Shudao: "When will it start?"

"I received a letter the day before yesterday. The situation on the border is critical. Time waits for no one." The eldest lady said, "It will be closed tonight."

Lin Shu said: "Yes."

He felt his voice muffled.

Just as he was talking, he walked into Jingfengdriyuyuan.

Ling Fengxiao stood still and faced him: "I thought I would tell you earlier tonight, but you played with them just now, so it doesn't matter if you want to have fun for a while longer."

After all, a kit was placed in Lin Shu's hand.

Ling Fengxiao said: "There are silver coins, jade souls and some other materials inside. If you want anything in the future, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy it. I have asked Baoqing to take care of you, and the cat is here. I think you will not be killed by others." Bully."

Lin Shu nodded.

The eldest lady said: "Take care of yourself."

Lin Shudao: "You too."

The eldest lady reached out and stroked his hair.

Lin Shu looked at the embroidered patterns on the young lady's clothes, and was a little lost in thought, feeling very unreal.

Then, I heard the eldest lady say: "After two or three years, when the snow melts, I will come out. You need to take care of yourself better, or you will be punished."

Lin Shu smiled.

Laughed, and felt a little empty again.

He thought that in the future he would have to feed himself.

The eldest lady said again: "Don't go running around outside."

Lin Shu: "Yes."

The eldest lady finally said: "Be obedient and wait for me to come out."

Lin Shu looked at the eldest lady and responded.

The eldest lady said: "You are so good."

Lin Shu: "..."

After silently looking at each other for a long time, the eldest lady said softly, "Hug."

Lin Shu: "...um."

The eldest lady smiled, walked a little closer to him, wrapped her arms around his shoulders lightly, and then touched him instantly.

The familiar cold fragrance became stronger for a moment, and then went away, leaving a faint lingering fragrance.

The eldest lady said: "Let's go."

Lin Shu was dominated by the eldest lady again, and was sent back to the room. Then, he took off his robe, let his hair loose, and was stuffed under the quilt.

The eldest lady said: "I'm leaving."

Lin Shudao: "Treasure."

The eldest lady said: "You too."

——then blew out the candle in front of the bed, walked out of the bamboo house, and closed the door.

After a long time, Lin Shu found that he couldn't sleep.

The snow fell in the bamboo forest, rustling softly. As the night deepened and the snow became heavier, there was the sound of bamboo leaves falling from time to time.

He put on his clothes and got up, opened the bamboo curtain, and looked across.

The eldest lady was still awake, the lights were on, casting a graceful silhouette on the window, seeming to be looking at this side.

Lin Shu didn't light the lamp, so she was still awake without fear of being discovered by the young lady.

After a long time, the figure in front of the window left and the lights went out.Then, a ripple of spiritual power appeared and fell down the barrier.

Lin Shu raised his head and looked at the sky through the window lattice.

But above the bamboo sea, heavy snow was flying, and the world was silent.
