Ten states

That's right, Tianhe Ghost certainly has resentment.

This is normal, he is not a monk who is not surprised by honor and disgrace, and ignores fame and fortune, nor is he a saint who has no sorrow or joy and regards all people as a dog. But he was able to make people look like a dog, so of course he has resentment.

But so what.There are too many people with grievances in the world who have grievances. After so many years in the arena, he has even gotten used to this kind of grievance.And now that I am cast under the tent of Master State Shepherd, I feel elated, a lot of headache troubles and suffocation smoldering in my chest have dissipated a lot, and I am in a happy mood, so Tianhe Ghost's expression and expression are also I just got a little gloomy in the memory, and immediately looked at the opposite Xiong Guoguang and smiled: "But people in the Jianghu, how can there be no resentment and hostility, if Counselor Xiong wants to use these words to provoke me, that would be too small People. I'm not one of those fledgling stunned young men who would be overwhelmed with blood after hearing a few words."

"Where, where, Brother Tianhe, you misunderstood." Xiong Guoguang shook his head unmoved, as if he was not surprised by Tianhe ghost's reaction at all. "I guess you must have resentment. And you have been able to endure this resentment for so many years. Of course, this kind of disposition cannot be broken by me with a few words. Most importantly, I didn't say this to provoke you. I just want to ask you further, since you have grievances, have you ever thought about the root cause of such an embarrassing situation? Why are you so gifted and capable but can only be depressed? Why do those villains Can you feel like a fish in water?"

Tianhe Ghost frowned, of course he thought about this question, and thought about it many times.He didn't bother to think about it later, because no matter how much he thought about it, the fact was the same.He replied in a deep voice: "This is the way of the world."

"No. That's not the answer. You answer like that just because you can't figure it out, you can't see it through." Xiong Guoguang smiled slightly.Although his face was still very pale and poor.But this smile gave Tianhe Ghost a feeling of great power. "Why don't we just talk about it bit by bit. Brother Tianhe, think about it carefully, why even though you are extraordinary, those famous families and noble families in the past have never been willing to recruit you openly. Even if they invite you secretly, some small The gangsters ask you to do things, but they also have to hide it, and they don’t want to do their best in terms of remuneration?"

The Tianhe ghost snorted coldly: "You have inquired thoroughly."

"It's just a little thing. As I said, I'm very curious about Brother Tianhe who can throw such a punch." Xiong Guoguang smiled and pointed to his empty shoulder, as if it was something else that had nothing to do with him at all. "The reason for what I said. Brother Tianhe must understand it himself?"

"Master-killers have such a bad reputation." Tianhe Ghost replied coldly.Of course he already knew this.Their five brothers have always had a bad reputation in the Jianghu because of the act of killing their teachers and betraying their families. If they hadn't been for their tough skills, they would have been slaughtered by many righteous heroes and changed their reputations.

"To deceive the master and destroy the ancestors is a great treason. Ordinary powers in the world are afraid of reputation, so of course they dare not recruit you and have anything to do with you. But I want to ask Brother Tianhe, your act of killing your master and betraying your family was wrong. Have you ever regretted it?"

"Of course not!" Tianhe Ghost pulled out a hard and hideous expression from the flesh on his face. "Old Jiao Jiao took us orphans as apprentices in name, but he actually treated us like slaves, and never gave us any kindness. We were originally eleven brothers who were learning arts together since we were young. Rebellion means beating, scolding and punishment. After he has achieved success in cultivation, he is ordered to do some shameful and dangerous dirty things for him, but he pretends to be an upright gentleman on the surface, gaining both fame and fortune. Over the next year, eleven of our senior brothers died, leaving only five. We also inadvertently learned that the inner strength he has been asking us to cultivate is actually a mystery. And his precious son! He is raising us as animals! We will be killed and eaten when we are fattened up! We will kill his family together if we don’t arrange any means. Then we will die sooner or later! "

"Of course you did nothing wrong. As long as you are not as stupid as a pig, anyone with a little blood will know how to resist." Xiong Guoguang nodded. "However, other people will not go into this matter, or even if they understand the inside story, at least they will not dare to lie to you on the surface, because you are murdering teachers and betraying families after all. Ordinary people will not go into the truth , They only know to rely on the 'label' on this person's head to judge, and even those who understand in their hearts have to follow these majority."

The Tianhe ghost snorted and nodded.It is true.Most people in Jianghu don't know the inside story, and even if they know, they don't pay attention to it, because the title of "killing teachers" has always been hung on their heads.

"Why did this happen? Why do you think they did this?" Xiong Guoguang asked.

The Tianhe ghost was dumbfounded.It is human nature to cherish the reputation and be wary of what is said behind the scenes. It is the same as people who love meat. Even if some people don't love it, they really can't find any reason for those who love it. He can only answer: "How do I know?" ?”

"Okay." Xiong Guoguang smiled slightly. "Then let's talk about yourselves. In fact, this is not a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. There are ways to get a bad reputation. With the efforts of the five of you, reach out, no matter where you find a remote place to occupy the mountain and become king, Xiaoju It is not difficult to dominate the mountains and forests, or to be a lone thief, or to sincerely join a big family and sect, and do some shady things for them. On the surface, they can't accept you, but in private, they can deal with capable and useful talents You can still give a very favorable price... ”

"We are just regarded as the scum of the rivers and lakes, not the real scum of the rivers and lakes." Tianhe Ghost snorted coldly.

"Why are those who do that the scum of the world?" Xiong Guoguang asked.

"Could it be a good person?" Tianhe Ghost thought this question was really funny.

"Brother He thought that day what is a good person and what is a scum?" Xiong Guoguang asked again.

"Those who do good deeds are good people, and those who are filthy and unscrupulous are scum." Tianhe Ghost stared. "Could it be that you came to me to talk nonsense?"

"Of course it's not nonsense." Xiong Guoguang's tone was still tepid, neither salty nor bland, and weak. "It's just that Brother Tianhe didn't realize it? Your scruples are the same as those who look down on you and reject you. It's all because of the false name of some people who ignore the facts. "Reject and underestimate you because of your reputation, but you are only tied up because of the reputation of "scumbags", "good guys" and "bad guys". It is appropriate to pass by business travelers to get money, and it is appropriate to rob the rich and help the poor. It may not be impossible to keep one party safe and admired by others. So what if you do some shady things for the sect family? Those things will eventually be done by someone. As long as you have a good heart, you can Those who are killed should not be killed, and those who can be killed should be killed less, at least it is better than those cruel people who attack women and children."

Tianhe Ghost was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiong Guoguang to say such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.

"Brother Tianhe, have you seen the play?" Xiong Guoguang asked again.

"Watching a play?" Tianhe Ghost couldn't keep up with the jumps and turns of this question.

"When watching a play, those peasants, foolish women and uneducated children often ask: Is this person good or bad? If others don't tell them, they will feel confused and feel that the play is simply inexplicable. This magnifies the truth Look, it is the same as you are bound by those false names and morals.

In this world, ninety-nine out of ten people are mediocre people who eat and wait to die. They have neither the ability to break through the shackles and oppression of the surrounding environment, nor the courage and wisdom to open their eyes to see the wider world and reality. They need others To tell them what is good, what is bad, what is like, without these empty names and morals to help them explain everything around them.How dare they live in this remote, incomprehensible and unpredictable world?Just like pigs living in a pigsty since they were young, the surrounding fences give them a sense of security instead of restraint. "

"Is there good, bad, good and evil? Of course there is. Even a beast knows gratitude and loyalty, but it comes from the conscience and ability of the heart. If it is only learned from others, it is just a pigsty. Confucianism, which was the only one in the previous dynasty, is actually completely different from what Confucius taught. All the etiquette and morality, the monarch, the relatives and the teachers are all fences and fences arranged for the pigs, cattle and sheep all over the world. , let them feel that this world is like this. They have seen the edge of this world, and they can live in it with peace of mind."

"How can a person like Gangzhu Hu be able to get along like a fish in water? It is because he is not bound by any fences, just like that mouse, he will go to all the places where there is a gap, and he can bite if there is no gap. When one comes out, compared to those pigs who are trapped in it and don't know it, they will naturally eat their brains full of fat and live freely and freely."

"But Brother Tianhe, you are not a pig. The person who can punch this punch is definitely not a pig, he is not born with it." Xiong Guoguang smiled, pointed to his empty shoulder, and there was a bit of admiration on his weak face , as if really rejoicing at a friend's exploits. "This is a beast that should have rushed out of the fence and galloped freely, but because it has been living among pigs, it thinks that the world is like that. But how can a mere pigsty make a Is the beast truly at ease and comfortable?"

"And these are exactly the source of your grievance and resentment, Brother Tianhe." Xiong Guoguang took a glass of light wine and drank it, moistening his dry throat, and summed up the reasoning , and then quietly looked at Tianhe Ghost. "Brother Tianhe, do you think so?"

The Tianhe ghost remained silent, the light in his eyes was flickering, the muscles and ferocity on his face seemed to be trembling slightly, and after a long while he snorted coldly: "As expected of a demon cultist, he is really good at deceiving people, and indeed he has a bit of tongue. But wanting to confuse Lao Tzu is still a little bit worse. I naturally know right from wrong, good from evil, do you think you can make me confused just by these few words of yours?"

"Evil Cult. Demon." Xiong Guoguang smiled faintly, and repeated these two words without any contempt or dissatisfaction. "There are two titles that can be clearly defined when you hear them. This is also the right and wrong that you got from other places. Have you really seen it and understood what our general's mansion is doing?"

"Of course I did."

"Oh?" Xiong Guoguang was slightly surprised. "We have always seldom go out of Yongji and Jizhou, especially the hinterland of the three states of the Central Plains. Even when we go out occasionally, we are very cautious and low-key. Brother Tianhe, where did you see it?"

"More than ten years ago, you abandoned the gates and sent the six tribes of Xidi into the Central Plains to burn, kill, and loot. At that time, corpses were scattered all over the field and blood flowed into rivers. Which Central Plains people didn't see it?" Tianhe Ghost's eyes flashed fiercely.A trace of murderous aura scattered around. "I saw with my own eyes how those Xidi savages slaughtered us Central Plains people like pigs and cattle, and plundered them like cattle and sheep to the bitter cold grass outside the pass as slaves and food. The five brothers of Laozi also attacked a group of people at night with a group of people. The savages in Xidi, seeing those savages actually dissected people directly and used fresh viscera to sacrifice to the wolf demon and evil god, the corpses of women and children after wanton rape and murder were murderous gangsters, and they were shocked when they saw it. There are still half-eaten corpses of babies on it! These are gifts from the demon cult monsters in your general's mansion!"

"Oh, it turns out that brother Tianhe was still a righteous man who spontaneously fought against Xidi." Xiong Guoguang nodded.

"Righteous man?" The Tianhe ghost grinned grimly, tilted his head and spat. "Are you worthy of saying this word? Didn't you put those savages from Xidi into the pass with your own hands? Didn't you kill those innocent people, women and children? This is a demon who treats human life like nothing, and disregards the safety of the people in the world for his own selfishness." Teaching demons is rightly punished by everyone!"

"I don't know how many Xidi people were killed by brother Tianhe?" Xiong Guoguang asked lightly.

"I haven't mastered my skills in those years. I killed fourteen of them with all my might. Which of my four brothers didn't have a few Sidi lives?" When talking about this, Tianhe Ghost couldn't help showing his face. There was a burst of pride.That's right, this is the achievement he is most proud of, and it is also an important fulcrum that supports many things in his heart.

Speaking of which, in the past ten years or so, there have been almost no true underworld gangs in the Jianghu of the Central Plains, and the kind of lone gangster who likes to rape and plunder has almost disappeared, which is also related to this matter.Although that catastrophe devastated the three states of the Central Plains, blood flowed like rivers.But it is also rare to gather and condense the reckless spirit of the Jianghu, but all the Jianghu men who have faced the Xidi people and experienced that catastrophe can't help but feel arrogance and enthusiasm in their hearts.They all vaguely feel that they are heroes who have fought against the barbarians, and they are by no means comparable to the ordinary scum of the rivers and lakes.

This is also in the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain. The monks and priests who took root in Qingzhou were terrified of the two general counselors.Avoiding it is auspicious, but the Tianhe ghost is the reason why he directly attacked without asking.

"It's not bad. It's only been a month or two. It can be seen that brother Tianhe is indeed brave." After hearing this, Xiong Guoguang nodded without expression.Still speaking softly and weakly in that weak voice. "In comparison, I can't do it. I have been in the Yongzhou Army for almost 20 years, and I can only kill...killed...I don't remember clearly. There must be three or four hundred people... Maybe five or six hundred...? I'm too lazy to count."

"Really?" The look on Tianhe Ghost's face and the look in his eyes were immediately frustrated. "You... also kill Sidi people?"

"Otherwise, Brother Tianhe, what do you think we are doing in the Yongzhou Army?" Xiong Guoguang smiled faintly. "Using the power of words to deceive people's hearts? This is not one of the military exploits set by the general. We don't need us in frontal battles. We are indispensable for inquiring and infiltrating, investigating spies and so on. Although there are many people in Liuziying The good and the bad are mixed, and we can’t leave everything to them to do, at least some important things still need us to take the lead and do it ourselves.”

"That's right, when Xidi entered the customs, he was indeed a great general. It can also be said that everyone in our general's mansion deliberately did it. You think that the tragedy of that year was a hell on earth, but have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for us? Yongzhou tried its best to resist Xidi. This hell-like tragedy will be staged in the Central Plains every year, even in Kyushu. You only saw the thousands of people who died because of us that year. Don’t you see the people who can live and work in peace because of us at other times? Thousands of people?"

Tianhe Ghost was speechless for a moment.It is indeed because of the Yongzhou Red Leaf Army and the Yongzhou General's Mansion that the world has been able to be more stable in the past few decades.In the past few decades, when the Daqian was first established, it was true that almost every few years, large and small Sidi went south, and several states in the Central Plains were restless. At that time, even Qingzhou and Jizhou were all hunting grounds for Sidi people. , where is the current prosperous scene.

"The imperial court feared that our Red Leaf Army would be difficult to govern as a whole, so they wanted to play tricks to divide and disintegrate, clamp down on money and food, and use Confucian righteousness to suppress it. Let them see what the world would look like without us guarding Yongzhou. Do you really think that those Confucian scholars who come from famous families and can only recite poems and fight against each other can control the real masters of tigers and wolves? Look at the white tiger in Jizhou You guys know that if you collude with horse thieves and bandits, as long as you pay money, even bandits can get a military post. If there is no benefit, why do those famous families intervene in the military affairs? If it is only for profit, this military affairs will become A business, do you expect those businessmen to resist the Sidi?"

"The imperial court saw it, knew it, and never dared to play with these scheming tricks again. You saw it, but ignored the inside story of the joints, and couldn't see the peace and stability we brought to the world in the past. Follow the words of others according to Confucian etiquette, but instead Blame all the misery of that time on our heads. What is this, a great kindness and enmity? Brother Tianhe, look, you say that we are demons and demons, and those who say that you are deceitful scum Is it exactly the same person?"

The Tianhe Ghost remained silent, his expression fluctuating, and Xiong Guoguang stopped talking and poured himself a glass of wine slowly.

"Why?" Ghost Tianhe finally spoke after a long while, his voice was a little dry, and his face was expressionless. "You asked me to come here and talk to me about this, what exactly do you want to do?"

"No reason. In other words, there is no profit purpose. I said, I am just curious about you, brother Tianhe." Xiong Guoguang looked at Tianhe Ghost with interest while drinking. "I just want to see what happens and what a beast will do after it breaks through the pigsty that has been restricting him."

"Fuck you." Tianhe Ghost's voice was a little weak, but he was still firm. He didn't look at Xiong Guoguang again, turned around and left. "I admit that what you said is reasonable, but I also know that some things in this world can be done and some things can't be done. After all, there is justice in this world."

"Fair." Xiong Guoguang smiled again. "Yes, there is justice in this world. Otherwise, Brother Tianhe, wouldn't your four brothers have died in vain?"

The Tianhe Ghost stopped abruptly, and he slowly turned around to face Xiong Guoguang, the twitching muscles on his face made him look a hundred times more ferocious than before.Xiong Guoguang looked at him with a smile, with anticipation in his eyes, like a child looking at a work that he is about to complete.

ps: The matter has probably finally come to an end, I will try my best to restore the update.In addition, I heard from the editor that Tale of the Beast seems to be adapting a TV series, so I asked me to get the outline of the story and the outline of the characters, but unfortunately the copyright was sold out, and I couldn't get a penny.It would be great if you could give me a role at that time, 'Looking for a true love' is a role tailored for me.
