Zheng Lixin smiled bitterly at Lin Ji and brushed away his long hair on both sides.
Lin Ji took a look and saw that both of Zheng Lixin's ears were gone!
The roots were broken, but the scars remained.
"Master Zheng, what is this?" Lin Ji asked in shock.
Zheng Lixin smiled nonchalantly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, signaling Lin Ji to talk as he walked.
"After the Qin Dynasty suddenly collapsed, the Supervisor Tiansi also collapsed. I, Zheng, have been rising from being an ordinary citizen to being a secretary of the general government. Over the years, I have seen too much good and evil, good and evil. But I have always been a spectator. I don’t know it in my heart. Now this time, it’s better than a thousand years! I finally figured it out.”
With a smile on his face, Zheng Lixin pointed to the left side of his cheek and said, "This ear was cut off by bandits on the way out of the capital. They saw my carriage with a forbidden curtain and thought I was a rich man." He was a corrupt official. But after searching the carriages and horses, he couldn't find anything valuable. So he cut off my ear and asked me where the banknotes were hidden."
"At this time, a bandit who had attended a private school for several years recognized that what I was pulling in the car were the files of Supervisor Tiansi, and asked me who I was."
"I originally had the intention of dying and would never become an unknown ghost. So I confessed that I was the clerk of the Supervisor Tiansi. What was carried in the car were all files that had cases but no results, and the culprit had not yet been caught. Only. When the world is unified and a new dynasty is established again, we will hunt them down one by one so that the guilty can be brought to justice and the dead can rest in peace."
"Who would have thought, after hearing what I said...the gangsters were stunned for a while, and then they all knelt down in front of me!"
"The leader even cut off his own ear to apologize for my sins! Then, a total of fifty-four bandits did the same thing!"
When Zheng Lixin said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh!
"Hey! Lin Tianguan, do you know how I felt at that time?"
"It's better to be ashamed! It's better to be ashamed! I really wish I had to be killed by them with a knife!"
"When the Qin Dynasty was founded, the Supervisor of Heaven was established together with the Supervisor of Heaven. Throughout these thousands of years, there were indeed many scum in the Supervisor of Heaven, and many wrong things were done. However, in order to improve their cultivation and promote their positions, they still did a lot. It’s a good thing. It also gives the common people in this world something to rely on when facing evil spirits.”
"For Supervisor Tiansi, ordinary people have always respected and feared them, and they love and hate them! But once they collapsed suddenly, they didn't even think about it! Facing the evil that far exceeded the power of ordinary people, they had no choice but to die. That’s it, no other choice!”
"I am also a mortal, and I know that their so-called wishes are so simple and pitiful! It is not about a great increase in cultivation, nor about a life span of a thousand years! It is not about unification of the Central Plains, nor about groups of wives and concubines. They just want to fill their bellies! They just want Want to live!"
"Animals are nothing more than that!"
"But even this small and extremely pitiful wish is as difficult as the sky!"
"The Qin Dynasty is dead, and the world is in chaos! Where can we call our home?"
"Jian Tiansi is gone, monsters are everywhere, eating people without bones, who will touch it?!"
"I have been working as a clerk for many years. Although I have not experienced the people, I can see every word on the file clearly!"
"I get furious every time there is an audit. I'm angry! I'm anxious! I wish I had a few more pairs of eyes to keep an eye on every arrest! Let them work day and night to wipe out all the monsters in the world!"
"Hey!" Zheng Lixin said, shaking his head and sighing: "What a pity, this is not what people want!"
"That Gao Qunshu, for his own selfish wish and to break away from the so-called bullshit shackles, regarded thousands of lives as floating clouds, a total of one hundred and seventy-seven thousand six hundred and forty-three people!"
"Lin Tianguan, do you know what I should think when I know that Gao Qunshu did this?"
"I couldn't sleep at all while looking at that file. My teeth were clenched and I wanted to tear that old thief apart!"
"That's human life! That's a living person like you! Just because you are a monk, you can kill innocent people indiscriminately? Just because you are the boss, you can run around the world?!"
"Shouldn't Supervisor Tiansi be responsible for the safety of the people and the protection of the country? Shouldn't he be the nemesis of evil and the support of all mortals? Why did you become a demon yourself?!"
"The refugees are not kneeling down to me, they are kneeling down to Supervisor Tiansi for his countless achievements! But those thousands of mortals are so kind! I only remember your good deeds and not your vengeance! I really deserve it. , so ashamed!"
Lin Ji felt a little upset when he heard this.
Indeed, when he was at the Demon Suppression Tower, when he learned that Gao Qunshan was the mastermind behind it, not to mention him, even Fang Yunshan couldn't accept it for a while!
Is this kind of Jian Tiansi really Jian Tiansi?
Perhaps, the moment when Jian Tiansi truly collapsed was not the demise of the Qin Dynasty or Song Qiming's entry into the palace. But it started when Gao Qunshu killed the first human life!
Zheng Lixin said as he walked: "After I resigned from those refugees, I cut off the other ear out of hatred. Zheng cut off both ears to close the gap."
"It's a pity that I have no concern for the world, but I have no ambition but can do nothing!"
"I, a scholar, cannot fight on the battlefield, nor can I dominate the country. I, a mortal, cannot practice Taoism, and cannot carry out heaven's punishment. I can only ignore the world's affairs and only care about my heart, eyes and conscience!"
"After a lot of twists and turns, I ended up here."
"Lin Tianguan, you just saw that in this village, there are mortals, monks, monsters, and ghosts. But no matter what ethnic group they are, they all have a kind heart. Before this, I have never I never thought that there are monsters who would even lose more than three hundred years of cultivation just to save an unknown baby!"
"There was a demon who was trampled to pieces alive in order to protect the victims from the insurrectionary army!"
"Humans are divided into evil and good. So are demons and ghosts!"
"So, I landed here to teach and educate people. I hope that they and even their next generation will never have conquests again! No matter whether they are people or monsters, there will be no more killings! The world is unified and everyone is at home!"
Lin Ji nodded and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Master Zheng is great and pure, and Lin respects him with all his heart. But since there is such a village, why do you want to build a private school on the top of a high mountain in a separate place?" Wouldn’t it be better to move into the village?”
Zheng Li News paused slightly after hearing this, and the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally and said: "Lin Tianguan, do you think I don't want to? It's really unavoidable!"
"Oh?" Lin Jiqi asked, "What's the reason for this?"
Zheng Lixin did not answer directly. He walked around an old locust tree and pointed far ahead at a thatched house hidden among green bamboos and said, "We're here, let's go in and talk."
"Sir, you are back." The door opened and a tall woman in a plain skirt walked out, with a smile on her scarred face. He gently opened the small bamboo door and said respectfully to Zheng Lixin. Then he bowed to Lin Jishen and said, "My daughter Qin Lan has met the Heavenly Official."
"What is this?" Lin Ji asked Zheng Lixin curiously.
"She is the daughter of Emperor Pei." Zheng Lixin sighed, "The sky is in mourning, as are all the souls! Speaking of which...hey! Let's go into the house first!"
It's not over yet, the fever has subsided, but this chapter was squeezed out when I was feeling better.
