A bad guy with a bad reputation, who does all kinds of evil, but has friends and family gathered around him.
A good man with a prominent reputation and the admiration of thousands of people, but his relatives and friends died tragically.
Who is happier?
Lu Chen was thinking while playing chess, but he couldn't give an answer for a long time.
Perhaps in the eyes of normal people, the first one is ten thousand times happier than the second one.
But looking at history, who dares to say that Qin Hui, who enjoyed all the glory and wealth, was happier than Yue Fei, who died tragically?
Before they knew it, the two of them had played more than a dozen hands.
Lu Chen fell into a disadvantage.
The old man took Lu Chen's move and said with a smile: "Let me ask you another question. If it were you, what would you choose?"
The cold wind blew and the candlelight flickered.
With a bit of loneliness and loneliness.
Lu Chen's hand holding the chess piece was still unable to come down.
The old man said: "My two dragon-slaying knives have been set up. You block the front, and I will chop the dragon's tail. You block the back, and I will chop the dragon's head... How do you choose?"
Fame or friends!
The problem of the century.
Seeing that he was reluctant to take action, the old man said aggressively: "To put it simply, I am going to attack China now. If you rush back and report the situation to the war department, they can summon all their forces to stop me."
"But now that Chu Huairou is in danger, you must rush over to rescue her immediately, otherwise she will definitely die."
"How do you choose?"
This is forcing Lu Chen to choose one of the two.
One is the motherland, the other is the lover!
One is righteousness, the other is small love!
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the old man, who happened to also look over. The moment their eyes met, Lu Chen saw a trace of mockery in his eyes.
"I don't choose anything!"
boom!
Lu Chen suddenly burst out and overturned the chessboard.
Black and white were scattered all over the place, looking very embarrassed.
But the old man was not angry. He just shook his head in disappointment and said slowly: "Lu Chen, if you make a wrong move, you can overturn it and start over. But once you make a mistake in life, you will never have the chance to do it over again." ."
"The ghosts are happy, the ghosts are happy!"
“Extreme joy brings sorrow!”
The old man waved his hand and the chessboard returned to its original state.
Another son of his fell on Tianyuan.
"In the next game, think carefully about what I said."
Every word of the old man was like a sledgehammer hitting Lu Chen's heart. His thoughts became extremely chaotic, and his mind was filled with thoughts about who would you choose, Chu Huairou or Hua Xia.
At this moment, a cool feeling came from the mask.
Chase Lu woke up instantly.
All kinds of thoughts were like chaotic threads, which he slowly untangled.
He suddenly said: "The second person the senior mentioned is Taoist Qingtian, right?"
The old man's hand trembled slightly, and the chess pieces accidentally fell into the wrong position. Chase Lu took advantage of this opportunity to eat several of the old man's chess pieces, and gradually gained the upper hand in the battle.
"Taoist Qingtian lived an upright life and won the respect of thousands of people, but in the end he was betrayed by his disciples and followers and died tragically in the capital."
"If I'm not wrong, his family members were also killed by the War Department, right?"
Lu Chen paused and continued: "So, the first person the senior mentioned is the Marshal Long Huang of the God Department or the Five Old Stars of the War Department, right?"
With the blessing of the mask, Chase Lu's thoughts were clearer than ever.
He knew that the old man in front of him was most likely an obsession left by Taoist Qingtian.
Taoist Qingtian tried his best for China, but in the end he only had the title of 'Leader of the Righteous Path'. On the other hand, the Dragon King and the Five Old Stars were enjoying the glory and wealth.
This is obviously unfair.
"So, who do you think is happier?"
The old man stopped and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.
"I think it is……"
Whoosh~
A cold wind blew and the candles went out.
The cave became pitch black.
There were even bursts of cries of ghosts and howlings coming from the mouths of the gods and Buddhas. If Buddhist disciples saw this scene, they would gnash their teeth in anger, thinking that the old man was blaspheming the Buddha.
Amidst the noise, Lu Chen gave his answer.
After hearing this, the old man had a smile on his face: "Did you know? About three years ago, someone came here. He gave an answer very similar to yours, and then gave up and left Qingyun Secret Realm. "
"And you?"
"Continue or quit?"
three years ago?
Isn't he an old ghost?
Lu Chen thought it was very possible and immediately asked: "Is he..."
"Tell me, continue or quit."
The old man interrupted Lu Chen.
"continue."
Lu Chen didn't hesitate at all. He had to keep moving forward to achieve the goal in his heart.
If you are not strong enough, everything is just talk!
The old man laughed: "I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can stick to your promise today."
He stood up and walked into the darkness.
The cave echoed with his vicissitudes of voice.
"The ghosts are happy, the ghosts are happy!"
"Extreme joy brings sorrow!"
Lu Chen stood up, bowed deeply to his back, and then continued to walk forward.
"There is no way in this world."
"Humanity, immortality, ghost..."
"Different paths lead to the same destination."
Lu Chen had a smile on his face, and even his steps became much lighter.
No one knows what he has just chosen. He will keep this choice deep in his heart forever and not let anyone know.
…
After Lu Chen disappeared, the old man appeared again under the candlelight.
He took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a monkey face!
That's right, this old man is exactly what Yuan Laosan is pretending to be.
Dangdangdang~
There was a sound of high heels hitting the ground.
The female cultivator from the Taoist temple on Qingyun Mountain walked in and looked at Yuan Laosan with a smile: "How did you choose this guy?"
Yuan Laosan took out a cigarette, handed it to the other party respectfully, helped him light it, and then said: "His choice did not disappoint you."
The woman took two puffs of her cigarette, then looked at the sky full of gods and Buddhas above her head and said, "I knew he wouldn't let me down. Give Zhang Huaiyi some slack. I'm looking forward to what his expression will be like when he sees me on Qingyun Mountain. "
"Understood, young master."
Yuan Laosan nodded and disappeared into the darkness.
The woman was leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.
After smoking a whole cigarette, she blew out a smoke ring and said to herself.
"Dad, I know that if I do this, a lot of people will be affected... and I also know that you don't want us to avenge you, but... I'm not willing to do it."
"They are not willing to give in!"
"We will immediately find out who was involved in that incident."
"Once the list is obtained, I will let them pay for this blood feud with their blood!"
…
In the darkness, Lu Chen suddenly looked back.
The eyes of the ghost gate suddenly opened.
The originally dark corridor suddenly became clear, and he saw a slender figure at the end of the corridor.
"Is she the protector?"
"Did she ask the question just now, or was it asked by Taoist Qingtian?"
