The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 1542
Lin Dong headed from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor pagoda!
Since Venerable Yangxin built this pagoda, so far, only two people have come to the pagoda on the fifth floor.

One is Lin Dong, and the other is the leader of the previous martial arts arbitrators.

After Lin Dong came up, he found that the fifth floor of the pagoda was smaller than the fourth floor.

There is still a bright lamp burning in the middle.

The light of the ever-burning lamp reflects the murals on the wall, and those murals are all swordsmanship!

With his back facing Lin Dong, sat a man with long hair.

This man must have lived for hundreds of years, but judging by his appearance, he seemed to be in his 40s.

His demeanor is extraordinary, even if he has guarded the fifth floor of the pagoda for hundreds of years, he still can't see any mess, he looks very elegant, handsome and spotless.

"It has been more than 200 years, and no one has gone to the fifth floor. I didn't expect that this time, it was a young man in his early twenties."

The man was still reading with a book in his hand. At this moment, he turned around slowly and looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong cupped his hands towards the opponent and said, "Senior, hello. May I ask how to pass this level?"

The man did not answer Lin Dong for the time being, but asked: "I haven't chatted with anyone in more than 200 years."

"Let's chat first, how about?"

Lin Dong nodded and responded, "I can't ask for it."

Lin Dong found that he couldn't see through the other party at all, and what he couldn't see through this time was completely different from the old monk who faced the third floor before.

The reason why Lin Dong couldn't see through the old monk on the third floor was because he used the 'Dragon Breath' to hide his aura.

But the person in front of him was not like that.

The reason why Lin Dong couldn't see through him was because he was stronger than himself.

"Please sit down." The elegant man stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to Lin Dong.

In front of him, there is a futon.

Lin Dong took advantage of the situation and sat down.

He went to the side to get a bottle of wine.

"This is the 300-year-old Nurhong. I usually don't want to drink it. I met a guest today. Let's have a drink." He said, and poured Lin Dong a glass of wine.

Lin Dong took it, and after clinking glasses with him, he took a sip.

"Good wine!" Lin Dong couldn't help but praise, it is indeed a 300-year-old daughter's wine.

The other party smiled slightly, and then introduced himself: "My name is Feng Mo! I am the great disciple of Yang Xinren. Master Yang Xinxi built this National Martial Arts Pagoda during his lifetime, in order to pass down the National Martial Arts forever."

"And I, volunteered to be the guardian of the fifth floor pagoda, guarding here."

Lin Dong was in awe!

"Senior Feng Mo is so righteous!" Lin Dong couldn't help but say.

Feng Mo shook his head and smiled: "If you want to talk about righteousness, it is true righteousness for my master to nurture the talents you love!"

"He has no children and no daughters all his life, and his whole heart is only for martial arts, only for inheriting and carrying forward the great national art!"

"During his lifetime, he established the largest martial arts museum and recruited many disciples, allowing the martial arts to be passed down from generation to generation. He also recorded all the martial arts he learned and improved them."

"Even after death, I still think about this matter. Before I died, I spent a lot of energy to build this national art tower, and all the national arts I learned during my lifetime are engraved on the wall of this tower."

"After the physical body fell, the soul was divided into several remnants, and stayed in this national art tower..."

"When it comes to righteousness, people like my master are truly righteous. As for me, it's nothing."

Lin Dong has the utmost admiration for the sweetheart who nourishes his heart.

Feng Mo continued: "The reason why I stay in this fifth-level martial arts tower and am willing not to go out for hundreds of years to guard the pagoda is not only because I do have a heart to promote national martial arts, but it is more because of another thing. .”

"That thing is also my demon!"

Lin Dong was curious, and asked subconsciously: "Senior, what is your inner demon?"

Feng Mo said calmly: "I once had a lover whom I loved very much, but I was betrayed by her."

"Since then, I have been completely disappointed in this world. I always feel that the world is too dark. There is no trust between people."

"There was even a period of time when I had an idea, that is to destroy the whole world. But the ethics and morality I learned since I was a child told me over and over again that this cannot be done."

"I was troubled by my inner demons, and I was in a state of nothingness every moment. I began to wonder, what is the purpose of my martial arts? What is the purpose of my life?"

"I feel that everything I do is meaningless. The realm of martial arts that I once desperately wanted to pursue is meaningless in my eyes. Even eating and sleeping are meaningless to me..."

When he said this, his face became distorted.

It seems that even though hundreds of years have passed, his inner demons are still there.

Sealing demons, can you really seal the demons in your heart?
After guarding the pagoda for a hundred years, can he really hold back the obsession in his heart?
"Senior, you are stunned." Lin Dong's voice suddenly sounded.

"Yeah, I'm stunned. So, please tell me, what do I do that makes sense? What am I living for?"

Feng Mo let out a loud shout, and the elegant aura on his body just now disappeared, replaced by waves of violent and raging negative emotions.

On the fifth floor of the pagoda, there are many swords stuck around the walls.

These swords include wooden swords, bronze swords, iron swords, and silver swords...

There are long swords, short swords, heavy swords, soft swords, and hard swords...

There are more than ninety sword feet.Every sword, at this moment, has a violent and bloodthirsty atmosphere.

As if, to get out of the sheath at any time!

Lin Dong said in a deep voice: "Senior, I once knew a Taoist. He obviously has the ability of a warrior to move mountains and reclaim seas, but he stays in the mountains every day, planting flowers, vegetables, and raising chickens and ducks... I once asked him , is this kind of life meaningful?”

"I also once knew an ascetic who came from far and far away in the north. He lived by begging for food every day, and went to the Western Regions on a pilgrimage. I also asked him, such a life, Does it make sense?"

"I once knew an ordinary doctor. She went to work at seven o'clock in the morning and came back late at night. The content of her daily work was similar, seeing patients and prescribing medicines. Day after day, I also I once asked her, is such a life meaningful?"

"I also know a homeless man who rides a bicycle and wanders the world, sleeping in the wilderness every day, exposed to the sun and rain every day. I also asked him, is such a life meaningful?"

When Lin Dong said this, the tyrannical and bloodthirsty aura on Feng Mo's body became much weaker. He asked curiously, "How do these people answer you?"

Lin Dong smiled and said: "Their answers are all different."

"The Taoist priest smiled at me without saying a word, and continued to live a life of growing vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, and wandering wild cranes."

"The pilgrim ignored me, he continued to kneel and continue his pilgrimage!"

"The doctor responded to me with a smile. She said that she didn't know if it was meaningful for her to see the doctor repeatedly like that every day. But, for those patients, it was very meaningful."

"As for the vagabond, he answered me. He said he never wondered if the life he lived was worthwhile, he just wanted to, and so he went!"

At that moment, Feng Mo was stunned on the spot.

He murmured: "Why bother worrying about whether there is any meaning in life... I wanted to do that, so I went and did that..."
