Four Elephants

()[Get up early and ask for a change, fellow Taoists passing by, please help me.Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement! 】

"You have intentions," Yuan Shengtai looked at Yi Tian, ​​sneered inexplicably, and lay down again with his one arm under his pillow.

"Have you thought about what to say when you go back this time?" Yuan Shengtai asked Yi Tian.

"I don't know how to say it. It is my responsibility. I will not evade it. I am responsible for what you have done now." Yi Tian frowned slightly, "I have never denied this."

"Well, after going back this time, I want to go back to the imperial court directly. I am in such a state that it is not suitable for me to stay any longer." Yuan Shengtai said.

"Well, then I'll accompany you," Yi Tian thought for a while and said, before, Yu Lingfeng seemed to have sent him this errand.

"No, I'll just go back by myself," Yuan Shengtai waved his hand.

"However, the journey is far away, how can you do it alone?" Yi Tian looked at Yuan Shengtai's broken arm and said worriedly.

"You can do me a favor first," Yuan Shengtai looked sideways at Yi Tian and said, "You can lend me your flying dragon sword first. In this way, I can go back with the sword, which can save a lot of time, and there is no trouble on the way." There's too much danger of something happening."

"This—" Yi Tian was taken aback for a moment, unable to refuse, but felt that it seemed inappropriate.

"Don't worry, I will return the Flying Dragon Sword to you when you fulfill your promise and come to work in the imperial court. I am a dignified prince, so I still have this credit. I will not be greedy for such a small gain from you. If I If you really go to ask the elders for it, they will give me a good weapon." Yuan Shengtai sneered, and continued: "The reason why I am bothering you now is because I don't want others to see my current appearance , I’m just worried about causing misunderstanding. It’s also for your own good.”

Hearing this, Yi Tian was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and felt that Yuan Shengtai had sufficient reasons for doing so, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will do as you said."

While speaking, Yi Tian took out the Flying Dragon Sword, put it gently beside Yuan Shengtai, and said to him: "I swear with this sword, if I can't keep my promise, you don't have to return this sword to me."

"I still hope that you will come to take this sword back." Yuan Shengtai looked at Yi Tian, ​​picked up the Flying Dragon Sword, looked at it, got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, raised his head to the sky, took a deep breath and said: " It's not too late, I'll go back now. After you go back, just talk to the master for me."

"I will report to them, don't worry, take care of yourself after you go back, I will find you as soon as possible." Yi Tian followed to the entrance of the cave.

"Well," Yuan Shengtai nodded, turned to look at Yi Tian and said, "Yi Tian, ​​no, Junior Brother Xiaotian, do you think I've changed? I'm not like the Senior Brother Shengtai you just met?"

"One thing, but I understand you very well. In fact, everyone is constantly changing, and so am I," Yi Tian sighed slightly.

"No, you haven't changed. You are still the loyal and kind little junior. You are so stupid and naive. People can't help but want to protect you at a glance. They think you are too innocent—" Yuan Shengtai smiled slightly, "But , This is also the reason why I value you. Generally speaking, a simple person, a kind person, a person with a really good nature, is a reliable person, and can become a true friend and ally. So, although your qualifications are not high , and your cultivation base is also very weak, but I still chose you."

"Thank you brother for your attention, Yi Tian feels honored," Yi Tian sneered.

"I have a few words to say to you, I hope you can taste it." Yuan Shengtai looked at Yi Tian, ​​and slowly looked at his broken arm, shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "This arm, originally It doesn't need to be cut off, and I won't be injured so badly. Have you learned anything from this incident?"

"What?" Yi Tian asked curiously.

"Kindness is a good thing, but if you use it in the wrong place, you will only become indecisive, and even hurt the people around you." Yuan Shengtai looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You must first treat the people around you. Well, only if you can take good care of the people around you can you take care of all living beings. Everyone is born with different responsibilities and abilities. Not everyone can be a saint. Sometimes, what we need more is to be content with Fate. Do you understand?"

After listening to Yuan Shengtai's words, Yi Tian didn't say a word, Fan raised his head to look at the deep sky, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, it will never happen again."

"That's good. There is one more thing I hope you will remember. If you are not ruthless, you will not stand firm. If you don't kill people, you will be killed. This is how this world is. The weak eat the strong. Only the strong can survive, and the weak will never die." They are all just slaughtered and become innocent victims—"

"What you lack is a bit of ruthlessness—"

"And you don't seem to realize the importance of becoming a strong person."

Yuan Shengtai "teached earnestly", hoping to wake up Yitian.

Yi Tian tilted his head, looked at him coldly, and waited until he finished speaking, then smiled lightly and said: "It's getting late, you should set off first, I wish you a smooth journey."

"You didn't listen to my words," Yuan Shengtai frowned in disappointment.

"There are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are people, there are strengths and weaknesses. Those farmers who plow the land, those woodcutters who chop wood, and those diligent shop assistants, they are all weak, but don't they also live well? The weak will To become a victim, who stipulated the truth? You?" Yi Tian stared at Yuan Shengtai and asked.

"That is in the human world, but you are actually in the arena. The arena is cruel and bloody. If you don't kill people, you will be killed by others," Yuan Shengtai waved his hand, Yi Tian, ​​who wanted to continue arguing, said, "It's okay if you don't agree with me, but I hope you will stop being so naive. If you are still so indecisive and hypocritical, you will only kill more people and those around you." Everyone!"

"I said, it won't happen again, and I won't implicate you again, just rest assured!" Yi Tian clenched his fists in a deep voice.

"That's good!" Yuan Shengtai said coldly.

…………

The moon was misty, a stream of light streaked across the sky, and Yuan Shengtai left.

Yi Tian stood quietly between the pines and bamboos, listening to the sound of the waves, but clenched his hands more and more tightly.

"Ah!" With a roar that shook the sky, he leaped into the air suddenly, and with a ferocious palm split, a big hole was created on the ground.

"Cruel, vicious, vicious, poisonous!"

"Why does it have to be like this?!"

"What happened to this world?"

Yi Tian laughed helplessly, then turned around and walked towards the sea, where the huge purple conch was lying in the tide, waiting quietly.

Tomorrow is the return journey.
