The old demon Honglian said: "You have asked me this question once before. I still can't answer you now. I can only tell you one thing. Don't underestimate Kuang Ruoxu. Before he became the national master in the previous dynasty, I had a fight with him, but unfortunately, he was a cunning old fox with three cunning rabbits. Later, when the Daguan Kingdom was destroyed, Kuang Ruoxu took the young prince out of the imperial city and disappeared without a trace. He remained silent for decades and did not know what he was planning. What, even if I occasionally catch some clues about him, the harvest will not be big. Li Xiu, do you know? Li Ruocheng was the one who injured him when I went to arrest him, and then he escaped. One of the rescued girls, it was more than ten years ago. Li Ruocheng was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time. Li Xiu, do you know how much influence Kuang Ruoxu had on her? Far more than you, even Far better than me!"
"I know this!" Li Xiu said solemnly: "In this case, we can't be careless. However, I have a question to ask you."
The old demon Honglian said: "You say."
Li Xiudao: "Did you plan the incident where Ruocheng was captured and taken to Penglai Immortal Island?"
The old demon Honglian said: "It's me!"
Li Xiu was not surprised by the directness of the old demon Honglian, and said: "Why did you do that? I have promised you that I will handle the matter for you, why are you still unwilling to let her go?"
The old demon Honglian said: "Li Xiu, you are wrong. I didn't want to let her go, but I did it to deal with you."
"Deal with me?" Li Xiu really didn't understand. He thought for a long time before saying, "I guess you must have let Kuang Ruoxu take away Li Ruocheng. The purpose is to let me fight with him. Hello. Are you reaping the benefits?"
The old demon Honglian said: "If you insist on knowing why I did this in the first place, I can also tell you that I don't want there to be a second Kuang Ruoxu in this world. Don't look at the Leguo's court now being powerful, but the world It's so big that it's like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. After Emperor Bu Le came to the throne, there were many constraints. There were still many people like Kuang Ruoxu. They usually escaped overseas. Whenever there was an opportunity, they would come to the land to wreak havoc and collude with the sea people. A comeback. The war in the north has been widely involved, and it is already very distressed. The two countries in the west and south cannot take it superficially. Have you thought about these issues? "
Li Xiudao: "You have always lived in the harem. What is the purpose of going north this time? Is it to deal with the war in the north, or to deal with Kuang Ruoxu?"
"None of them!" said the old demon Honglian, "I came to find you!"
Regarding such a reply, Li Xiu felt that everything he said was in vain. Li Xiu stared at the old demon Honglian, then raised the corner of his mouth and raised his middle finger!
Li Xiu left the back of his head, turned around, and rushed towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
What's the meaning? The old demon Honglian felt baffled by that gesture, but it was definitely up to no good, this kid.
Li Xiu didn't know how to measure what the old demon Honglian did. He put himself in her shoes and saw that she had done nothing wrong. However, from Li Xiu's point of view, the old demon Honglian made a very simple thing so complicated, and he was also the kind of person who couldn't get angry and couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.
The darkness before dawn disappeared in a blink of an eye, the light of day appeared, and the earth began to revive.
"Eh?" Li Xiu and the old red lotus demon arrived at the entrance of the village. Before they got close, they suddenly noticed a group of people approaching from a distance. The group was quite large, with dozens of them, as well as a flatbed carriage and two carriages. The flat donkey cart, four or five wheelbarrows, etc., with the powerful consciousness of the two of them, everything is in front of their eyes, even the conversations of those people, and smaller movements, etc., all are fed back.
If Li Xiu and the others did not sense wrongly, those dozens of people should be the villagers of this village.
Are the villagers here different? You stay up day and night, do you all work at night?
Soon they realized something was wrong almost at the same time.
"It's the Yin Shen who left the body!" Li Xiu said in a deep voice.
The old demon Honglian said: "It's no wonder that the construction here is to such an extent. When the Yin Shen is out of the body, labor can of course greatly increase the value. The farm work done in a day is several times or even more than normal manual labor."
However, how could ordinary people get out of their bodies and work at night? No wonder they all rush home before sunrise and finish their work at dawn. It can be seen that there is still a long way to go to where they work.
The Yin God is a pure yin thing and is most afraid of sunlight.
Night travel and day travel are completely different concepts. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to leave the body even if you have cultivated to the realm of Yang Shen. However, after cultivating Yang Shen, if you have the guidance and protection of elders, you can also try to leave the body and perform Night tour.
The matter of leaving the body is by no means as simple as leaving the body. It is an extremely dangerous thing. If you haven't cultivated to a certain level and left your body rashly, the consequences will be death. The power of nature has countless elements. Even in very clean air, there is likely to be a gust of wind. Even if there is no gust of wind, the Yin God will be beaten by the earth's magnetic field or various unconscious radio waves. Unless the yin and yang are united and the soul is cultivated, then you can travel at night and day, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, unimpeded.
"Let's go and take a look!" Li Xiu said hello and headed towards the village.
The old demon Honglian did not follow. She also felt that this kind of thing was very outrageous. She flew in the opposite direction to visually inspect the ghosts of the villagers.
Li Xiu entered the village and checked house to house, and finally determined that the old and weak, women and children in the village were all normal. Some old people got up early, had already gotten up to collect firewood, and were heating the stove and boiling water in front of the earthen stove. . However, all the young and middle-aged men, without exception, have become living dead. After the Yin spirit leaves the body, the physical body can only breathe weakly, the body temperature drops to a critical point, and the heartbeat and pulse are also very weak.
After Li Xiu confirmed these things, he knew what was going on and withdrew. But they saw that the old demon Honglian had been waiting for him at the entrance of the village. Both of them could see the answer in each other's eyes without communicating. It was obvious that things developed as they expected.
"Let's go and see another village!" Li Xiu and Li Xiu disappeared, leaving an afterimage on the spot. In an instant, they were nearly ten miles away, and sure enough they saw another village by a stream. This village is larger and even richer than the one just now. It has almost all tile-roofed houses, and most of the houses are made of stone. When they arrived at the village, they happened to see about a hundred Yin Gods entering the village and going back to their homes. Li Xiu and Li Xiu let go of their consciousness and paid attention to how these common people's Yin Gods would return to their homes.
All the people were hesitant when Yin Shen entered the room. They seemed to be briefly confused and didn't know why they walked into the room. Then the two of them discovered that there was a slight vibration in their Niwan Palace, which seemed to be a summons and an order.
Sure enough, after this, all the Yin Gods swept away their confused expressions and went to bed. The Yin God turned into a black light and penetrated towards the ancestral orifice between their eyebrows in their bodies. After a while, the breathing, heartbeat, and pulse of these people all returned to normal. Although their faces were still pale, they fell asleep.
In this way, after sleeping until noon, the young and strong men in the village woke up one after another. The popularity was strong and everything was restored.
"What can you see?" Old Demon Red Lotus asked.
Li Xiudao: "It's hard to say. If you want to see the clues, you have to observe it for a while tonight."
The old demon Honglian said: "Li Xiu, Li Xiu, you came here to find Li Ruocheng. Now she may be suffering, but I can't see the slightest impatience on your part. You don't take her seriously, no wonder she If I'm not close to you, I would rather go to Kuang Ruoxu than come to you!"
Li Xiudao: "It's enough for me to know that her life is not in danger for the time being."
The old demon Honglian said: "How can you be sure?"
Li Xiudao: "If Kuang Ruoxu wanted to kill her, he would have done it more than ten years ago. After so many years, Ruocheng is still alive and well. People like Kuang Ruoxu would not kill her once. He once sold Ruocheng to a brothel for only a few coins, so killing someone is no fun for him."
The old demon Honglian said: "You seem to know Kuang Ruoxu very well, and you seem to know Li Ruocheng equally well? Don't you care about her past at all? Don't you care what she thinks?"
Li Xiudao: "You don't understand. There are all kinds of situations in life, which are the only way to go. I don't care what others think. If I often define things subjectively and look at everything with colored eyes, I will be trapped in it all the time. Demon barrier, in that case, I might still be just a little monk, not worthy of standing in front of you at all! People still have to take care of themselves. This is to respect their own nature and original intention. The way people get along is to accept each other. During this process, she doesn’t have to know what I have done. As for her thoughts, if she is influenced by others, even mine, then she will no longer be her.”
The old demon Honglian asked: "What if you go to save her this time, and instead of being grateful, she becomes hostile to you?"
Li Xiudao: "I said, if she can face herself and be herself, I won't stop her."
The old demon Honglian said: "What you said sounds nice, but not everyone in the world is like you. At such a young age, you can see through many essences and unite knowledge with action. This is very valuable. Maybe Because of this, you are you, so you think that others can do the same thing as you. But you have overlooked one thing, there are differences between people, and the various situations in the world that you encounter in life are like a dye vat, which can completely turn a person into a dye vat. The personality that was supposed to be generous and glorious was tarnished and covered in dust. Everyone thought they were doing it for themselves, but in the end they found out that what they were after was just a joke!”
Li Xiudao: "It's enough for me to believe in her. There is no need to explain too much. If you can't even do this, what's the use of locking each other tightly with chains?"
The old demon Honglian said: "I understand what you mean, Li Xiu, your love for Li Ruocheng is only great love, small love is extremely selfish."
Li Xiudao: "Maybe you are right, maybe that's why she would rather go to Kuang Ruoxu, but if she doesn't go to Kuang Ruoxu, won't I never have the chance to help her get rid of her inner demons? People are not afraid of faces. Yes, I will support you as long as you are willing to face it, even if you are willing to face it. On the contrary, escaping is a shameful thing. As long as a person learns to escape once, he will start to fall, and his future will be an abyss, which will never end!"
"Well said!" The old demon Honglian's eyes also shone, and he said: "So you are prepared to deal with Kuang Ruoxu this time, and you don't want to miss any clues, right?"
Li Xiudao: "Old demon Honglian, do you know why you failed to capture Kuang Ruoxu many times in the past? Maybe you believe in power too much. In addition to absolute strength, there are more important things in this world!"
"What is it?" The old demon Honglian became interested.
Li Xiudao: "With patience and courage, you live on the prison rooftop to guard the destiny of the country. You think you know everything about the world's major events, but you have overlooked one thing. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest, and a hundred-foot room was destroyed by an ant nest." The success or failure of many things is often due to the neglect of some small details, which leads to failure. But patience is not enough, you must have courage. In court affairs, no matter how big or small, the most taboo is hesitation and decisiveness. If you want to solve a problem or deal with a person, you must spare no efforts to achieve the goal, and then you will have unexpected results. Procrastination is not the behavior of those in high positions!"
The old demon Honglian cannot deny this, nor will he deny it.
Only Li Xiu dared to say this in front of the old demon Honglian. In today's world, Guo Zuo relies on force to regulate the world of immortality to achieve the purpose of rule. However, the people are always the foundation of the country, and the world of immortality alone is the foundation of the country. No, many powerful people cannot recognize the situation clearly, and the same goes for many officials. They only know how to flatter the superiors, but ignore the people below, and cannot find the courage to do practical things. Take the matter of Kuang Ruoxu, if the old demon Honglian didn't leave any room to deal with it, with his three heads and six arms, I'm afraid he would have been dead long ago.
Li Xiu felt that it was indeed of great benefit to a person who cultivated immortality to be in charge of the court. If nothing else, the cultivator of immortality was so energetic that even a mortal person could not keep up with eight horses, so he could rule the four directions better. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, cultivating immortals. The most important thing that cannot be ignored is the four treasures of wealth, law and earth. Wealth comes first, and law follows. They use the country's fortune to make huge profits. After everyone has practiced, who will manage it? Rule and rule are not just rules without governance. Some small problems will become big problems over time. This is true for the strong people above, and you can imagine the same for the officials below.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This point is the same regardless of whether it is a demon country or not. How does the old demon Honglian refute it?
On the other hand, if you want to recognize a strong person, you don’t have to talk to him face to face. You only need to have a deep understanding of the local people’s sentiments. How he governs can directly reflect who the strong person is and even what his character is. Clearly. Li Xiu stopped halfway because he wanted to use this method to get to know Kuang Ruoxu better so that he could have more confidence when he really wanted to face him face to face.
The day passed and night came quietly.
Li Xiu and Li Xiu were sitting cross-legged, several feet apart, and opened their eyes at the same time.
