Hidden Blade Chapter 74: Secret
On the way back to the inn, Xu Han's face was particularly gloomy.
Ao Wu and Xuan'er, who had always been restless, seemed to feel the mood of this young man at this moment, and they followed him quietly and did not make any sound.
And Zhen Yue didn't say a word. Everything she had seen before was far beyond her knowledge of Sen Luo Temple, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been involved in a terrible conspiracy. Among. This is not a good thing for such her.
The two walked out of the shabby alley in silence and came to the already bustling street.
At the time of the dead, people were still coming and going in Henghuang City, and the chattering drinkers in the wine shop at the corner of the street were still talking.
Xu Han stopped at that time.
Zhen Yue, who was lowering her head behind Xu Han thinking about her thoughts, accidentally ran into Xu Han's younger generation. She touched her aching forehead and asked: "What's the matter?"
Xu Han turned his head at that time, looked at Zhen Yue, pondered for a while and asked, "Are you still following me?"
Zhen Yue, who was also thinking about this question, couldn't help but was taken aback. She looked like she was being stabbed in thoughts. The expression on her face was a little embarrassed, but also a little hesitant.
And such hesitation undoubtedly gave Xu Han the answer.
He took a deep look at Zhen Yue: "Following me is to save my life, and now I can guarantee that the ability to cultivate with Yuan is enough to relieve Senluodian from chasing you, then follow me, for you, it is There is no benefit anymore...just for your loyal little brothers, let’s go..."
After saying this, Xu Han lost the thought of hearing Zhen Yue's response, turned his head, and walked away.
Zhen Yue subconsciously wanted to catch up, but the steps that had just been taken out suddenly stopped for some reason, hung in the air, and finally did not go to keep up with Xu Han's pace...
She suddenly understood that the difference between her and this young man was not only the cultivation level, but also some things that she didn't understand but existed.
That was a moat that she couldn't cross...
......
The two returned to the inn in tandem.
Huma and the others, who could not find Zhen Yue, could not sleep comfortably. They were waiting in the lobby of the inn. Naturally, they didn't dare to provoke Xu Han. They gathered around Zhen Yue and talked about it. What to say.
Zhen Yue's mood was not depressed at all, she drank one of them back, and looked at Xu Han's leaving back. She wanted to say something, but still couldn't speak, she could only silently return to her room. , This made Huma and the others face each other, with an unclear look on their faces.
Xu Han did not return to the room to rest.
He came to Mr. Wei's room, hesitated for a while at the door, and finally knocked on the old man's door.
"Come in." The old man seemed to have anticipated Xu Han's arrival. The moment the door was knocked, the old man's voice also sounded.
Although Xu Han was surprised by this, he still stepped into the door.
Mr. Wei was still lying halfway on the bed, but his complexion seemed to be much better. Seeing Xu Han entering the door, he pointed his finger at the wooden stool next to the bed and said with a smile: "Sit down."
Xu Han took his seat in response, but didn't speak up for the first time.
But how can his little thoughts be kept from Mr. Wei? The old man looked at Xu Han up and down, and then asked again: "What's wrong?"
"Sir..." Xu Han pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at the old man: "I have a bewilderment, I don't vomit or feel good."
The old man looked at the frowning young man with a rare look of affection on his face. He said: "Let’s just listen. Although the old man doesn’t have much knowledge, he lives longer after all, or Let me give you some advice."
But this is the case, Xu Han still pondered for a long time before saying: "If I want to save one person, but I have killed many people..."
"Then this person, am I not going to save it?"
The old man smiled, and did not answer Xu Han's question straightforwardly. Instead, he asked, "Then the person you want to save, is there a reason for it?"
"Yeah." Xu Han gave his own answer without thinking about it.
"Those who will die because of this, do you know them?" the old man asked again.
Xu Han thought for a while, and replied: "Maybe or maybe not..."
"Then the person you want to save is more important to you?" The smile on the old man's face increased again.
"Yeah." Xu Han nodded again.
"So your hesitation is not about whether you should be saved, but whether the price is worth it to you?" the old man asked.
Xu Han was taken aback, but had to nod again.
"But you don't need to pay the price. As you said, you don't know the people who will die because of it." The old man was still asking.
This time, Xu Han did not agree with the old man's point of view, but he did not refute it either. It was not because he didn't want to, but for a while he didn't know how to express his feelings accurately.
"Or, the so-called many people are a number too big for you to bear?"
"No." Xu Han shook his head decisively this time. He looked directly at the old man and said with great certainty: "It has nothing to do with how much."
"I was once called righteous, and I was petitioned by thousands of people to die. They said that as long as I die, the world will be in peace for a long time and the people will not be divorced."
"I don't know whether this result will really be as they say, but whether it's true or false, I don't think it's right. Why should I die for those irrelevant..."
Speaking of this, Xu Han paused, and his face showed a rare look of confusion.
His thoughts seemed a little confused, so he quickly overturned his previous remarks: "Or, I just don’t like being killed by those people for such a high-sounding reason. I don’t think anyone can go. Decide the life and death of others. At least for someone who has not made a mistake, it should be."
"So I hate them..."
"But if I save A Sheng, but kill other people, even if I don’t know them, I still feel wrong, because in this way, I am no different from them, and I hate them. .."
The old man did not seem to feel the confusion in the young man's heart at this moment. He stared at the young man for a while, and said helplessly: "So, you can only save the Asheng in the mouth?"
But Xu Han shook his head again: "I can save him, but if I don't save him for the so-called righteousness, then I am still no different from them..."
Xu Han frowned and said, as if he was also confused by his own logic, so that his brows wrinkled deeper.
"So this is a dead end?" the old man asked.
Xu Han nodded, but shook his head again, not knowing how to continue this topic.
The old man looked at Xu Han again. He suddenly put away the playful or relaxed look on his face. He stretched out his hand unexpectedly and gently stroked Xu Han’s head, like It is an elder who is touching his children and grandchildren.
Xu Han was surprisingly not surprised by Mr. Wei's behavior, but was extremely relieved.
"There has never been a lack of people in this world telling you such truths as not having both fish and bear paws, or loyalty and filial piety. Of course, some of them may have experienced helplessness of one kind or another, but more People only use these as excuses or reasons for self-security."
"I can’t empathize with your helplessness, but I think, since you are so hesitating, why don’t you think about whether there is a way to do both..."
"It may be difficult, it may be empty at both ends."
"But whether it is immortals who are born, live, or die, or have lived for thousands of years, but even mortals for a hundred years, I came to this world not to taste these helplessness, but to change them. Helpless."
"Even if there is nothing in the end, but I have been here, have fought, and really lived, this is worthy of a walk in the world..."
When Xu Han heard the old man's words, he couldn't say it suddenly, but he had some understanding in his heart.
He stood up, looked at the smiling old man, he finally arched his hand towards the other person, but felt wrong, and was about to bow.
But the old man stretched out his hand to stop him at that time: "This is not a good way. The old man is talking nonsense. If you want to thank you, you should wait until you have succeeded in doing this before thanking it~ IndoMTL.com~ Some Xu Han I don’t understand why Mr. Wei cares so much about this, but after all he didn’t mean to brush the old man, so he only turned around and left after thanking him.
......
When Xu Han left the door, a white light suddenly lit up in the wooden box beside the old man.
A handsome man with furry ears on his temples suddenly appeared beside the old man. He looked at the direction Xu Han was leaving and said softly, "Didn’t you have chosen him? Why are you still hesitating at this time?"
The old man who heard the words was not half surprised at the man's appearance. He turned his head to look at the man and said: "I'm just a little bit reluctant..."
The old man sighed, looked at the wooden box he had carried with him for hundreds of years, and said: "This burden is too heavy for him after all..."
"This... should be the final test..."
The man curled his lips slightly towards the old man’s sigh and didn’t refute it. He just smiled and said, “Perhaps you should take a look at what I found, so that you might change your mind... "
The old man was taken aback when he heard the words, he looked sideways at the man and asked: "Did you find it?"
"Not yet." The man shook his head, "But it's not far from the truth..."
"The guy's background is more terrible than you think..."
After the man said, he took out a yellowed ancient book from his arms and handed it to the old man's hand. The old man took the ancient book and opened it. When he looked at it, the look on his face suddenly changed at that time. , The pupils also dilated immediately.
The man looked at the horrified old man, shook his head, and sighed.
"There are too many secrets in this world, I think we might have to meet that watcher..."
