Chapter 105: Humans Are Different From Things (Part 2)
"You don't have to do this. I did calculate something, but I didn't calculate the whereabouts of your disaster as you thought." Xu Changqing naturally knew what the two old Taoists were thinking. He smiled, and did not hide it. He said truthfully: "I just saw from Brother Tie's face that he was not in danger." As he said that, he pointed to the old man Tie who was always gloomy and said: "It seems that Brother Tie should hear any bad news in the village. Let's listen to him first!"
Only then did the two old Taoists realize that after the old man came back, his face was always gloomy and ugly, and something was wrong.
"The village chief asked us to hide in Danxia Mountain for a while." Old Man Tie did not say in detail, but just a simple statement was enough.
The two old Taoists also turned gloomy when they heard this. Their joyfulness of their cultivation improved became much more depressed. They knew very well that the village chief had said this, and they said that there was definitely no room for any turnaround and that the village could not save them.
Compared to the old man, the situation between the two of them should be worse. According to their composition, they should be considered one of the four olds that have been cleared. In recent years, they have read a lot of news from the newspapers, and all the news is bad news for them. Before coming to Xiafu Village, they have been in other places, and have also seen many transformed people who cannot bear humiliation and torture. They have even seen a bully who has strong kung fu practice and was beaten to death by several ordinary people with fists. Although they have some internal kung fu, they have no confidence to survive this big movement that will be expanded to the whole country. I don’t know when it will end.
The old man's spirit also fell back at this time. It would be difficult to make him go down to kill people with a knife like he did just now, and he calmed down and began to consider the consequences. Because he went on without any cover up. Almost all the villagers knew that he was going to cause trouble for that person, and there must be no one among these villagers. Once the person came back from the city, he would definitely know about this matter. At that time, with the person's nature, he would definitely not give him another chance to resist. The next public criticism and fight would probably kill him, even if he didn't kill him, he would probably completely be disabled.
Thinking of this, Old Man Tie couldn't help but feel a little regretful and fearful in his heart. In addition, it was more of a panic about the known future.
"Please also ask Zhenren Xu to guide me to wait for a way out." At this moment, the three of them felt like a storm was coming. Their eyes were involuntarily focused on Xu Changqing and asked.
Xu Changqing said mysteriously: "Actually, you have already thought of a solution, so why bother to ask me?"
The two old Taoists didn't quite understand what Xu Changqing meant, but the old man who had experience in escape thought of yesterday's proposal. His face looked a little dim and sighed: "Did he have been safe for decades, and his body bones are almost buried. I want to escape again?"
With the reminder of the old man Tie, the two old Taoists also understood, but compared to the old man Tie who had a lot of feelings, they obviously had not had that strong feelings for Xiafu Village and Guanyin Mountain. So after confirming that they had the only way to escape, they all seemed very calm. They began to consider the route and destination of the south in their hearts.
"Zhengren Xu, is there really only one way?" Old Man Tie confirmed again with some reluctance.
Xu Changqing responded calmly: "Man moves to live, and tree moves to die."
The old man Tie fell silent after hearing this and was speechless for a long time.
The surroundings were silent for a while, and Qingjingzi, who seemed to have made up his mind, asked Xu Changqing: "Where are you, real people? Where have you decided to go?"
"Fate is together, and the world is unpredictable. The fate of you and me is over. It's time to leave. I will leave in a while." Xu Changqing said his plan without hiding it. "However, I should have a different path. I want to go north to Beijing to meet the Chen Yingning, and then consider how to go next." As he said, he said to Qingjingzi who was about to speak something and He Tingzi, who was standing by his horse's head, and said, "You'd better not go with me. I'm not sure that this trip will be safe and sound. If you take you a few of you, things may be worse. Your decision to go south is right, and it's best not to change it."
Seeing Xu Changqing refuting his proposal that he had not yet said, Qingjingzi was unwilling to say anything, so she could only look at each other with He Tingzi and silently exchanged their thoughts.
If the two old Taoists were asked to choose, they would definitely be willing to follow Xu Changqing, because the harvest of half a day just today is enough to match the hard practice of the past few decades. If they continue to stay with Xu Changqing for a few days and listen to his preaching and answering doubts, they might be able to further their level of cultivation.
Just go north, let alone don’t dare to go north now. Even when the situation was a little calm a few years ago, they would not dare to go north without any proof. For most people in the country, it is a place of glory and a place of pilgrimage, but for those who have problems with the ingredients, it is no less than a dragon's and tiger's den. Without any official proof, going there may be death on the road before you even get to the place. Faced with such great fear of life and death, even if you are brave enough to turn to the Tao, you will instinctively retreat. What's more, today's gains are enough for the two old Taoists to understand that they have died, and they will no longer be willing to seek death.
In fact, the more important point is that although Xu Changqing did not say it clearly, the two old Taoists could hear what Xu Changqing meant, that is, their fate was over and the cause and effect were over. If they were with him, he would not rescue him even if he encountered anything. They were not surprised by Xu Changqing's ruthless behavior. In fact, most of the people in the Taoist sect, including them, are like this. What's more, they have not done much effort in taking care of Xu Changqing in recent years. Most of the time, the iron man did it here. Today's income is enough to offset the debts of favors over the years. If you force it, it will only backfire.
Just after the two old Taoists had made the decision, the Tie Old Man made a completely opposite decision and said, "Zhengren Xu, can I go with you?" As he said that, he saw Xu Changqing frowning slightly, and immediately explained, "I have been away from home for so many years. I want to go back and have a look. Even if I die at home, it is better than dying outside."
As soon as the old man said this, the atmosphere around him immediately became much more serious. The two old Taoists who had already adjusted their mindsets might not be able to set foot on this land again when they thought that they would leave. They sighed separately, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in their hearts.
Xu Changqing still looked dull. After the three of them calmed down a little, they smiled at Old Man Tie and said, "Brother Tie is so anxious to go north to die. Wouldn't you plan to meet your relatives who have been separated for many years before you die?"
"Relative?" Old Man Tie was stunned for a moment, his expression became extremely excited, and even forgot his awe for Xu Changqing. He reached out and grabbed Xu Changqing's arm and asked anxiously: "Zhengren Xu, I still have relatives living in the world?" Someone hesitated and asked: "How did you know?"
"Of course, you can see that your fortune in your life is written on your face. There may be some deviations in the future, but if you want to calculate the past, there will be no problems." Xu Changqing did not care about the rude behavior of the old man Tie, patted his shoulder, signaled him to sit down, and waited for his emotions to calm down a little, then said: "Look at your face, you are calm before the age of 20, and you are wandering after the age of 20, have a bumpy life, and have no children, and have a lonely life. You have had three great opportunities in your life. If you seize these three opportunities, you may be able to change your destiny. It's a pity that you have never seized the first two great opportunities."
"I have two opportunities to change my destiny?" The old man Iron couldn't help asking, "When is it?"
Xu Changqing quickly talked about two rough years. After hearing this, the old man Tie immediately became particularly excited, but he was soon replaced by depression and pain. He sighed repeatedly and muttered to himself: "I deserve this life, and I deserve this life!"
The two old Taoists and the old man Tie have been friends for many years and are very satisfied with their past. After hearing Xu Changqing tell the two years, they corresponded a little and couldn't help but show a strange expression. As Xu Changqing said, what happened in these two years did have a great impact on the old man Tie's life.
The first time was that he was chased, seriously injured, and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued by an unknown strange man. At that time, the strange man was about to take him in as a registered disciple, but because he was carrying a reward for chasing and killing, he was unwilling to implicate the strange man, so he left without saying goodbye and lost a great opportunity. If he had not left at that time, he might have lived a different life.
The second time was when he settled in Xiafu Village. This year he married his wife, and his wife became pregnant, and his life began to become better. However, at that time, the country recruited volunteer troops to go to Korea to participate in the war. Although he was old, he had good skills, knew guns and was qualified to join the army. However, because he was worried about his pregnant wife, he hid in the mountains and escaped the recruitment with the help of the villagers. However, his wife encountered a difficult childbirth in the mountains and did not rescue her in time. Even though he was not saved, the adults and children were not saved, and she eventually lived in one corpse.
For a long time, the old man has always thought that if he joined the army, his wife would be a military family and would be properly cared for and would not have to hide in the mountains and be afraid of being froze. Even if adults and children encounter difficult labor, they would have a great chance of survival. Now that Xu Changqing mentioned this time, he naturally felt a lot and realized that it was his wrong choice that made his destiny so bumpy.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that before Xu Changqing finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What about three? Master Xu, didn't you just say that I have three great opportunities to change my fate? What about the third one?"
