Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 60 How Could I Want to Kill You?
Yes…

And that broken mirror.

Now it seems that just throwing it away so casually may also turn into a disaster.

Xu Chong felt very hurt, and at the same time, thought of another problem.

Why does the water ghost spare no effort to help himself?

Could it be...

Xu Chong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you Xu You'an?"

"...Why do you think so?"

Shui Gui froze for a moment, his tone suddenly became a little frivolous, as if he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"If it wasn't for Xu Youan, why would you help me like this?"

Xu Chong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Although Sun Yourong and Zhou Ze both said that Xu You'an is dead, besides him, I can't think of anyone else."

"If he is still there, I really want to see his expression at this time."

Shui Gui shook his head and laughed, and said: "Sun Yourong and the others are right. Xu Youan is really dead. I saw it with my own eyes. You don't need to doubt it."

"died……"

Xu Chong was stunned, and even more puzzled, "What is your relationship with him? Why do you help me?"

"Relationship... Well, he regards me as a friend and I as an opponent?"

Shui Gui said that he was also a little uncertain, and then his tone was slightly helpless, "Anyway, it's not like this, it's almost the same. As for why you help me... This is a deal between me and Xu Youan."

"trade?"

Xu Chong was speechless.

This seems to be the second traitor who has a close relationship with the third master.

And... the opponent?
Which opponent?

Wouldn't it be about martial arts?

"I know what you want to ask, but I met him by accident. I don't know most of the things you don't know."

After finishing speaking, the water ghost waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, children don't inquire about adults' affairs, let's get back to the main point."

Xu Chong: "..."

If it wasn't that he couldn't beat it, he really wanted to take off the water ghost's bamboo hat.

"I said that you have a problem with your mood, not to be alarmist."

Shui Gui's tone became serious, "Zhang Youde was okay that time, but this time is the worst."

"After disintegrating the resistance of Fu and Wei, the most correct thing for you to do is to press for information as much as possible, check and make up for the omissions of the whole plan, and then kill."

"But you chose the most stupid way to use such an important opportunity to show off your might."

"Do you know how risky this is?"

"I thought you knew, but you did it anyway."

"Because you are aware that something is wrong with you, but you don't know exactly what is wrong, so you can only use this method to try to alleviate it."

After the water ghost finished speaking, he sighed faintly, "But ask yourself, is it really useful?"

"..."

Xu Chong was silent.

"It seems that you have already agreed with my point of view, then let's continue."

Shui Gui nodded, thought for a moment and said: "According to my guess, your mood problem is caused by two reasons. The first one is the contradiction between conscience and words and deeds."

"Conscience and words and deeds?"

Xu Chong murmured, his eyes were strange, "How to say?"

"You think that what you have done and what you pursue are not worthy of being respected by the people at all, let alone being rewarded by them."

"That's why there was that hang-up."

"That's why you will deliberately alienate the people after you become a canonist."

The water ghost didn't leave any room for it, and directly pulled out the deepest emotions buried in Xu Chong's heart, and put them naked on the surface.

Xu Chong became more puzzled the more he listened.

There is nothing wrong with what the water ghost said, if he is still the original Xu Chong, then this point can indeed be established.

But he is not.

The hanging beam was not done by him.

As for the deliberate alienation of the common people later... it was simply to get rid of the original persona.

so far so good.

Putting all the responsibility behind Yuan, Xu Chong heaved a sigh of relief, but his face remained dignified: "This is the nature, there is no way, you still say the second..."

"It's so natural?!"

Shui Gui interrupted sharply, "You still think you did the right thing?"

Xu Chong was choked by the sudden severity, and said weakly: "Isn't it right..."

"you!"

The water ghost pointed at Xu Chong, seemed to be very angry, coughed for a while and then let it go, "Forget it, I can't decide whether it's right or wrong, let me tell you about your father."

"he?"

When Xu Chong heard this, he immediately cheered up.

"You should have learned about his deeds in Canglong from Sun Yourong."

The water ghost's tone was a bit low, with a sense of nostalgia, "As far as I know, when the people support him, they regard him as a reborn parent, and when they hate him, they curse him to death day and night."

"But from the beginning to the end, he never wavered, and always went his own way."

"I asked him why he was like this, and he said he was just doing what he wanted to do, doing what he thought was right, how the people treat him, that's the people's business."

"I didn't understand it at the time, until he left the people of Canglong County without hesitation and chose to die to save you."

"Always do what you think is the most correct thing at the moment, give it up as soon as you need it, keep it from beginning to end, and don't be moved by external things."

"I think, this is the real conscience."

Unity of knowledge and action?

Xu Chong was thoughtful, "I probably understand what you mean."

"That's good."

The water ghost nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "The second reason is related to your martial arts realm, and this reason will aggravate the first reason...Are you at the fourth level of Tongmai Tongmai now? Or fifth level?"

"Five weights."

Xu Chong was outspoken.

"That's the biggest problem."

Shui Gui nodded, "Actually, state of mind can also be counted as a state. The reason why it is not taken out separately is because under normal circumstances, state of mind exceeds strength."

"normal circumstances?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.

"Normal people are very slow to improve their strength. No matter how talented they are, their mood will grow faster than their strength."

Shui Gui explained patiently, "But you are different. Xu You'an laid a good foundation for you, which caused your cultivation speed to be too fast, and the growth of your strength far exceeded your state of mind."

"Strength surpasses state of mind...isn't it good?"

Xu Chong was a little puzzled.

In his view, strength is real strength, something to settle down, so what's the matter with the state of mind.

"Don't you think that whether you have good thoughts or evil thoughts about people in your heart, they are all multiplied invisibly?"

The water ghost asked back.

"This…"

Xu Chong was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed wildly.

He remembered one thing... When he saw the cats and dogs shot and killed by the blood-clothed guards, he actually had the urge to avenge them!
At that time, I didn't take it seriously, I just thought that the blood clothes guard should die if he didn't tell, but now thinking about it...

Xu Chong shivered, "What should I do to change this situation?"

"Self-cultivation, slow down the improvement of the martial arts realm, and try not to fight with others."

The water ghost replied.

Xu Chong was silent.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to improve so quickly.

How good would it be to save the source of immortality?
But the problem is that there will always be various people and various things, forcing him to improve.

After thinking about it, Xu Chong said: "I will try my best not to break through, but I have to have a head, right? When can I let go of the suppression?"

"It's up to you to feel the specifics. When do you feel that your mind is transparent and harmonious, and when can you break through to the Tongmai?"

"Thoughts are transparent, harmonious and unimpeded..."

Xu Chong chewed carefully, but didn't quite understand these two words.

"In the short term, the imperial court and Taipingdao will focus on the disappearing Wei Wuxie. You have a long time to solve this problem."

"In addition, if you don't have a noble status, why do you break through to Tongmai? You can't perform well."

The water ghost stood up and walked towards the door, "Remember, try not to do it if you can."

Xu Chong's eyes moved slightly, almost instinctively, taking this opportunity to see the appearance of the water ghost.

An extremely strange face, with a short beard, about 50 or [-] years old.

Just looking at the face, it matches this outfit very well...

Unfortunately, it's really not Xu Youan.

Xu Chong was slightly disappointed, and when the water ghost came to the door, he stood up and shouted: "How can I find you?"

"Find me?"

The water ghost paused, then slowly turned around, his eyes seemed to pass through the bamboo hat, and fell on Xu Chong's face, "I've said everything I need to say, what do you want me for?"

"You help me so much, I want to help you if I have the chance."

Xu Chong did not dodge or avoid, and met this gaze.

Time passed slowly.

After a long time, the water ghost sighed faintly: "You...do you want to kill me that much?"

"kill you?"

Xu Chong shook his head with a smile, "You helped me so much, how could I want to kill you?"

"Don't deny it."

The water ghost's tone was flat, "From the beginning to now, even if I clearly expressed my intention to come, you never gave up looking for a chance to kill me."

"Not really."

Xu Chong frowned, his smile disappeared bit by bit, "You should know that I got the Wuxiang Clothes, if the time is right..."

"In the matter of getting rid of household registration, your first choice should be Sun Yourong, who you trust more, not me."

The water ghost was unmoved at all, and turned his back again, "I don't know if this is caused by your mental problems, or if you really want to kill me."

"But it doesn't matter, you probably won't see me in the future."

"May you be safe and sound."
