Shengge Pavilion.
The ground was littered with corpses, and the air was filled with the fresh and thick smell of blood.
Obviously, there had just been a massacre here.
...........
dungeon.
"Yawn~~"
At the entrance of the dungeon, two guards were guarding here, yawning constantly.
"I'm really convinced. After arresting people, they didn't even let us rest. They actually let us guard here."
One of them said very dissatisfied.
"Who says it's not the case, but our Pavilion Master just has that temper. There's no point in complaining. We'd better do our best."
Another person said helplessly.
"Let me tell you, the women brought back this time are really good. It seems that we can also have a try."
"Hehe, those top-notch ones naturally don't get our turn, but the rest..."
The two guards showed the same lewd smile.
Suddenly, golden light flashed.
"who?!"
The two guards were startled.
Unfortunately, they are too slow.
The golden-robed figure flashed between them, incredibly fast, and then entered the dungeon.
There was a moment of silence, and the two guards seemed to be frozen, motionless, and the expressions on their faces were frozen.
A breeze blew by, and the bodies of the two guards fell to the ground. Blood gradually flowed out, staining the ground red.
.........
"Brother guard, I think you are tired after standing. Otherwise, you should rest."
Qing Yuexin rolled her eyes and said sweetly to the guard in front of her cell.
Qing Yuexin looks lively, cute, innocent, and very pitiable.
"Okay, little girl, you are trying to use a honey trap on me. It's too clumsy."
The guard was not fooled, but saw through Qing Yuexin's intention at a glance.
"You saw through my subtle disguise?"
Qing Yuexin said in surprise.
Shouldn't the normal plot be that the guard immediately became obsessed with his own beauty, seduced by his own beauty, and then he took matters into his own hands?
Why don't you follow the routine?
Are you not pretty enough?
"Jingwei, you are so short-sighted. You girl must be inexperienced in the world."
The guard rolled his eyes and saw Qing Yuexin's weakness at a glance.
"Who said that? I often go out on adventures alone. I have seen too many small scenes like this."
Qing Yuexin said calmly.
"Let's not talk about anything else. There is no murderous intention in your eyes. I dare to conclude that you have never killed anyone. You dare to come out without killing anyone. You are really not afraid of death."
The guard said.
"You, a guard, still know the intention to kill?"
Qing Yuexin glanced at the guard suspiciously.
"Why, should a little guy like me be the kind of fool who has no brains and will fall for any simple scheme?"
The guard asked in return.
"Well..."
Qing Yuexin was immediately speechless.
What he said seemed to make sense, and he really had no way to refute it.
"Little girl, let me tell you, listen more to your elders, be more in awe of this world, and don't be so ignorant, otherwise you won't know how to die."
The guard said.
"It seems you know quite a lot."
Qing Yuexin glanced at him curiously and said.
"It's not that I know more, it's that you know too little. If you don't have the protection of your elders, you can't survive more than three days."
The guard said calmly.
Indeed, Qing Yue's heart is too simple and she is not as good as ordinary people.
"Don't underestimate people, okay? The reason why I was caught by you was just by accident. I'm not usually like this. I'm super cautious and very difficult to deal with. Everyone is afraid of me."
Qing Yuexin immediately started bragging.
"Little girl, let me tell you, I have been guarding here for so long, and I have seen countless people, but I have never seen you so innocent. You are just like a blank slate."
The guard sneered.
"Hey, why are you telling me so much?"
Qing Yuexin asked the guard.
She didn't know why, but she didn't feel any malice from the guard.
The guard was a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, the kind of man who would not be noticed if thrown into a crowd.
"Actually... I had a daughter before. If she grew up, she would probably be about the same age as you."
After giving Qing Yuexin a complicated look, the guard suddenly said with emotion.
He once had a daughter who was about the same age as Qing Yuexin.
The innocent and lively girl in front of her looked very much like her dead daughter.
Especially her innocent character touched him very much.
This is why he and Qing Yuexin chatted so much.
"Is your daughter dead?"
Qing Yuexin asked.
"yes."
The middle-aged man sighed and nodded.
"How did you die?"
"Once I went out to the mountains and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."
Qing Yuexin glanced at the middle-aged man and could see that he missed his daughter very much. Qing Yuexin suddenly felt that the middle-aged man's body was a little bent, as if he had lost something.
There is never an ordinary life in the world, and no period of life is dull and boring. There are always happiness, pain, excitement, sadness, ups and downs, and unbearable past events.
"Then why do you still want to catch young girls and become bad guys?"
Qing Yuexin asked.
"I want to eat. This cold world can always force good people to become bad people, because to be human, we need to survive. The weak are not worthy of being good people. Only the truly strong can have such luxury things as kindness and righteousness." .”
The middle-aged man sighed and said.
The reality is the cruelest.
If you want to live, you must surrender to reality.
For ordinary human beings, wealth is the most important. With wealth, you are qualified to give alms, be compassionate, and have mercy. Without wealth, whether you can survive is a question.
For monks, strength is the most important thing. Only with strength can you be kind.
The weak talk about kindness?
Even if I get killed hundreds of times.
Since you can't protect yourself, why can't you keep tenderness to yourself instead of giving it to others?
Ordinary people cannot talk about righteousness, or they cannot afford to talk about it, because they are simply not worthy of it.
Only by becoming a truly strong person can you be qualified to speak.
"It feels like it makes sense."
Qing Yuexin nodded thoughtfully.
She is too shallow in this aspect, or has never been exposed to it, and has been living in hiding. Just like Su Bujin, she grew up in a greenhouse, but compared to the smart and alert Su Bujin, she is so naive and simple , it is normal to not understand.
"So why did you arrest me?"
Qing Yuexin asked.
"No, I can't tell you this."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
He had some affection for Qing Yuexin and felt that she was very similar to his dead daughter.
