Baishixian Road

Chapter 178 The Experiment Continues

Han Xuan lowered his head and thought, it has been some time.

That appearance is a bit of a precursor to dementia.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Han is so rigid, it's too easy to get into a corner." Xu Mo said to the boss, his tone was quite emotional, and the boss didn't answer.

Because he was thinking too.

Why is it so entangled? There is a very important point, that is, Han Xuan and the master have absolute trust in Di Tingjian.

This trust may even exceed their trust in their own memory.

In Xu Mo's view, this is a good thing.

There is only one Xiangying in this world, and it is a blessing for Xu Mo to meet him, so we can't expect others to be like Xiangying and trust his words unconditionally.

Not only to trust, but also to stand on your side.

Xu Mo needs helpers, more helpers, Han Xuan and Director Si are good choices, but there are prerequisites for Xu Mo to accept them and 'trust' them.

This prerequisite is to 'betray' the first sage.

Because Xu Mo already knew that the so-called sages who maintained the prosperity of humanity were sanctimonious hypocrites, and they were not as good as those outright cannibalistic monsters.

But for Han Xuan and Chief Si, who are already many fans of the sages, it is very difficult for them to betray their 'faith'.

If you just say it straight from the beginning, tell them that Xiansheng is more evil than evil, weirder than weird, he is a complete villain, a devil who eats countless people.

Guess what will happen?
These two guys will report them in all likelihood.

Of course, these two people can also be given up and Xu Mo finds other helpers and like-minded people, but Xu Mo still wants to try.

It would be best if Han Xuan and the chief can be persuaded.

Even if they cannot be persuaded, it is a good thing to plant a nail in their hearts and stay awake.

In addition to pure interests, Xu Mo and these two have a deep friendship.

However, Xu Mo came to Zhengqi Division not only for these two old friends, but his real goal was the sage.

But there is no rush to contact Xiansheng, or in other words, he will not take the initiative to contact him for the time being, because Xu Mo can be sure that Xiansheng has noticed the moment he entered the Department of Righteousness.

I can't guarantee it in other places, but in Zhengqi Division, it is true that there are gods standing above their heads.

"I don't want to!" The chief said suddenly.

"Have you figured it out?" Xu Mo asked.

"No, but this does not hinder our next communication. I know, you must have something to say." The boss looked at Xu Mo, walked over and pressed Xu Mo's leg.

"Paralyzed." Xu Mo said.

"I know a little bit about medicine!" The chief inspected carefully, and after a while, he frowned.

"There is cure?" Xu Mo was full of hope.

"It is indeed paralyzed, and there is no cure!" The chief said.

Xu Mo was helpless, he didn't expect the boss to be so serious, in fact, he was also a very humorous person.

Han Xuan also came over.

"Brother Xu is indeed paralyzed, and I can prove that."

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk." Sitting next to him, the boss could see that he was much less wary of Xu Mo. First, he did not feel any hostility. That is, the other party is a cripple.

"Then I'll tell you another story!" Xu Mo deliberately used 'you' instead of 'two', and didn't know if the other party could understand the subtext.

"tell a story?"

"Yes, a story is a good thing. Sometimes it will be inspiring. Even if it doesn't, it's still fun to listen to." Xu Mo sorted out his thoughts and told a story similar to Zhouzhuang Dream Butterfly.

"...This Zhou Zhuang entered the capital, killed the minister of the court for his apprentice, and was invited back by the yamen. Zhou Zhuang confessed to the murder, but there was a reason for it, and a judge in the yamen believed him , convict him not guilty, even the big men behind the yamen are very fond of Zhouzhuang. So, instead of being beheaded, Zhouzhuang was recruited into the yamen.

Who are Han Xuan and the chief?
How could they fail to understand the core of this so-called story.

Xu Mo ignored them and continued talking.

"...It is the responsibility of the yamen to maintain law and order in the capital, but later this place is still in chaos, and the chaos is getting worse and worse. It is foreseeable that many people will die here. The people in the yamen are naturally very anxious, but in the end they It turns out that the chief culprit of the mess is actually those big figures behind the yamen..."

"As a head catcher, Zhou Zhuang naturally had to do some things, but in the end he was a car with mantis' arms, and died a miserable death...Unexpectedly, at the moment of death, Zhou Zhuang woke up, and the past was just a dream. You said, this Is the story interesting?"

"Okay, okay!" Han Xuan frowned and said perfunctorily.

And the boss next to him didn't even bother to perfunctory.

He could naturally hear that Xu Mo was insinuating, and it was very obvious.

Even, many of his previous questions can actually be answered in this story.

But the problem is that the previous questions were answered, and as a result, more questions and puzzles arose.

Just now Han Xuan was a little bit schizophrenic, and now, the boss thinks he is a little bit too.

The scariest thing about this is that if you just listen to it as a story, it’s okay, but if you take a careful look at the content alluded to in it, and then analyze and deduce it, you will come to an extremely terrifying conclusion.

The premise of this conclusion is absurd.

But the problem is that this Xu Mo can appear here, and the other party's previous words and deeds have already proved that no matter how ridiculous things are, they can happen.

Well, this seemingly absurd result seems to be true.

The boss is a scholar.

Don't look at him as tall and rough, but the other party's knowledge is extremely high, and he has read a lot of books, so he naturally has wisdom beyond ordinary people. With wisdom, he has a unique perspective and ability to think about and look at problems.

So under his careful thinking, this matter became more and more terrifying, and made him more afraid.

Even if there is a slight possibility that this result will happen, to him, it is like the sky falling apart.

Because, his faith fell.

People don't stand without faith.

The popular understanding of this letter is credibility.

But sometimes, it can also be seen as a personal spiritual pillar.

Without this spiritual pillar, can that person still be a person?

"Master, Master?" Han Xuan saw that the Master's expression was not right, and hurried forward to ask, but the latter seemed to be unable to hear, his eyes were staring, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched.

The whole body is full of vigor, as if it is in the stage of explosion.

Seeing this, Xu Mo already had a conclusion in his mind.

"Master, you really didn't betray us!"

If the boss belonged to the kind of person who would easily follow the saints blindly without asking right from wrong, then he would not be so shocked now, and would not have such a reaction.

Because that matter may not be that important to him.

Conversely, the fact that the boss can lose his composure like this now shows that the other party is a person with righteousness in his chest, a person with the world in mind, a person who has principles, and is willing to give everything to defend him.

Xu Mo continued to talk at this time: "After thinking about it carefully, Zhouzhuang is also very interesting. He could have regarded it as a dream, not thinking about it, and living his own life, but he didn't. He wanted to find someone The answer, the two of you, please comment, is Zhou Zhuang doing the right thing, or not?"

Han Xuan couldn't move the director, and said helplessly at the moment: "I don't want to think about this problem anymore, it's too brain-consuming, why do you make things so complicated?"

"Blame me? I said I didn't say it, but you let me say it. I said it, and said I made things complicated. It's my fault anyway." Xu Mo smiled, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"I mean, why are you talking about this matter in a roundabout way? If you just say it, it's over..." Han Xuan suddenly stopped, because he immediately realized why Xu Mo wanted to talk about this matter in such a roundabout way .

Because, if the other party is telling a story, it’s okay, if it’s not a story, then...

Han Xuan suddenly felt a little cold.

Goosebumps arose.

He subconsciously looked up, but Xu Mo stopped him.

"Actually, I didn't intend to come. It was a coincidence. Brother Han, if you feel upset, you can forget about it. Let's find a restaurant in a while. The 'Zen Guest House' in front of your house is very good. Not bad, the wine smells good, let's have a few drinks."

"Don't talk about it, I have to think about it." Where can Han Xuan eat now.

At this time, the director over there suddenly said: "Yes!"

Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said that the boss, you have come back to your senses.

"However, what did you say just now, sir?"

"I said, Zhouzhuang, he did the right thing!" The chief suddenly got up and walked back and forth in the hall.

It can be seen that the director has thought through a lot of things just now.

"If I were Zhouzhuang, I would do the same. There is no right or wrong in seeking the truth, but unfortunately, I am not Zhouzhuang." The boss stopped at this moment and looked at Xu Mo.

Han Xuan also looked over.

"Let me ask you, at the end of the story, is Zhouzhuang's dream true or false?"

Xu Mo waved his hand: "There are many things in the world, and there is no answer, it depends on the person who listens to the story."

"understood!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Let's go!"

The boss didn't go to see Xu Mo again, and the conversation between the two, from this moment on, became a little weird.

Han Xuan next to him couldn't understand.

"Han Xuan, help him out, I still have business to do." After the director finished speaking, he continued to work at his desk, seeming extremely focused.

Confused Han Xuan could only help Xu Mo out of the Department of Justice.

"Where are you going?" Han Xuan asked.

Xu Mo smiled: "Didn't I just say, 'Zen Guest House', drink!"

In the Department of Righteousness, the head of the department summoned a black-skinned imp.

"Go, give these away."

Apparently, this was not the first time that the black-skinned imp had done this kind of thing. He walked out with a tray of books, passed through the dark corridor from behind, and entered a room.

After a while, a pale eunuch walked out of the room, carrying the scroll, out the back door of Zhengqi Division, got into the carriage that had been waiting behind, and entered the palace all the way.
