"Qiuyun, what exactly do you want to do with all your efforts?"
"Aren't you very smart? Why are you still asking me?" Ling Qiuyun asked.
"Do you really think I know everything and can predict things like a god?" Cheng Mu found it a little funny.
"Then are you really not afraid at all?" Ling Qiuyun asked extraordinarily persistently.
Cheng Mu shook his head, "There's nothing to be afraid of."
"You are really calm!"
The more Cheng Mu behaves like this, the more uncomfortable Ling Qiuyun feels. He really wants to see Cheng Mu's restless look.
"Brother Cheng, why don't you guess what I want to do?"
"You want to use me to attract some people, don't you?"
Cheng Mu seemed to be asking, but he was very sure in his heart.
Ling Qiuyun was noncommittal, "What then?"
"Then I couldn't guess it! To be honest, I never thought that one day I would become such a key figure."
Why can he always take it calmly no matter what happens?
"Come to see me, aren't you worried about putting those companions in danger?" Ling Qiuyun stubbornly wanted to arouse his emotions.
Cheng Mu sighed, "What's more, you really put me in a dilemma."
"Why choose me?"
"Because I can't ignore the friendship between us."
"What about them?"
"I will not trap them in injustice. No matter who among you, I will never give up."
"But one side must end in failure."
"Qiuyun, are you connected with Rongguo?" Cheng Mu suddenly asked.
As soon as he saw the other party's expression, Cheng Mu knew that he was right.
"Stop it now before it's too late!"
"Why should I stop?"
"Because you are from the Yin State! Qiuyun, why would you rather cooperate with the Rong people than trust your own country?"
"Why does it make me believe it?" Ling Qiuyun became excited, "Look at what it looks like now! The emperor is so proud of himself that he has no idea about the suffering of the people. Not only does he not care about the people, he is also incompetent! Look at the officials in the court. How many officials are really worthy of that position? They can levy and plunder the people's wealth for their own selfish interests, regardless of whether the people live or die; their descendants are cynical and morally corrupt, and they bully others at will!" Ling Qiuyun's face became more and more crazy, "Just sit back and enjoy the glory and wealth. Those who are high above us are these people who are bad to the core, and those who are miserable and insignificant will always be those of us at the bottom who have nothing. Cheng Mu, Cheng Mu, the country is in such a bad state, it is not worthy of my protection at all!"
"I remember we discussed this issue before, Qiuyun, why do you always only see the bad places?"
"Is there any good place?"
"How not…"
Before Cheng Mu finished speaking, Ling Qiuyun said first: "I know what you are going to say. Yes, there are still General Li and Master Liu. There are still a few loyal and good officials in the court, but they still have to deal with them. Will the evil forces swallow their anger? Can these people really save this precarious country?"
"Yes, but now is not the time, Qiuyun, you have to be patient." Cheng Mu said extremely seriously.
"I don't believe it, and I can't wait any longer! Cheng Mu, I advise you to stop being so naive!"
"Why do you always look at things so pessimistically?"
"It's not that I'm pessimistic about things, but it's just a sad thing to be alive."
"Try to let go of your prejudices." Cheng Mu continued to advise, "I know that the reason why you have such thoughts is all because of the Liu family, but you must know that not all people are like the Liu family."
When the Liu family was mentioned, Ling Qiuyun's face became ferocious again, "Cheng Mu, let me ask you, where in the world are there not people as full of evil as the Liu family?"
Seeing that Cheng Mu didn't speak, he sarcastically said, "You can't say anything, can you?"
Cheng Mu looked at Qiu Yun with compassion and listened quietly to his various dissatisfaction and accusations against this society.
"Why did my father abandon my mother? Isn't it because my mother has nothing? But that family is different. They can give my father everything he wants, status, and money. With these, my father immediately becomes different. Now, he no longer has to look at anyone's face and can do whatever he wants. Yes, he is very selfish, but only in this way can he make himself look tougher.
Cheng Mu, you don’t know how I got here after all these years! My mother and I, orphans and widowers, have been ridiculed by all kinds of eyes. I have never known what happiness is since I was sensible! Not many people in the neighborhood think highly of me, especially when the conflicts between me and the Liu family intensify.
Obviously we have done nothing wrong, why is it that no one is willing to speak for us? It is obvious that those people secretly dislike the Liu family and secretly say bad things about the Liu family, but why do they start to flatter and invite favors as soon as they are in front of them? Try every means to please them, and even join the Liu family in insulting my mother and me?
I think you know the reason for all this. Therefore, I have to say that although my father was unjust, he was wise in making that choice. If he wanted to live a better life in this profit-oriented society, he had to be ruthless. Perhaps this kind of behavior will not be respected by others, but can respect be used as food? "
"But..."
Cheng Mu wanted to argue, but Ling Qiuyun interrupted him again.
"There is nothing wrong with it. Human nature is so despicable. This is the eternal fact! These people have been oppressed for a long time, but when they meet people who are worse off than them, they start to laugh and laugh, and even voluntarily start to do it. The perpetrator. Cheng Mu, how ridiculous this is!"
"Not everyone is like this. I don't deny that the phenomenon you mentioned does exist, but there are still many good people in the world who still have conscience. How can you deny all people just because of some people?"
"As long as that part of me is there, my hatred will never go away."
"What will it take for you to look back?"
"Even if there is an abyss ahead, I will never look back."
Cheng Mu felt even sadder.
What exactly should he do to get rid of the stubbornness in Qiu Yun's heart.
"Those people you are talking about are also poor people. They don't want this. Everything is a last resort."
"You have no choice? Cheng Mu, can you stop being so childish and ridiculous? It stands to reason that because you have been treated coldly by others, you can better understand how uncomfortable it feels, and you should have more tolerance and care for people who are in the same situation or are not as good as yourself. I understand. I really thought this way before, but these pedantic and seemingly harmless people have caused all the faith I once had to collapse. Yes, the Liu family makes me hate them, but it really makes me hate the world. Those who are desperate are the ordinary people who are adding insult to injury to watch the excitement."
"Qiuyun, I admit that there are many things in life that we can't stand, but you and I are not gods, so what if we just dwell on these bad things? I hope you can break free from your hatred of society, otherwise you will Never seeing that there is so much more to love and cherish in the world.”
"Can the ugliness be eliminated by just seeing the good things? Yes, I am not a god, but why do we have to rely on gods for everything? People can also become powerful! I believe in myself, as long as I can control the Western Territory, then it will definitely It won't be like this now." Ling Qiuyun clenched his hands and said confidently.
"Can you tell me what your ideal Western Region looks like?" Cheng Mu asked.
He really wants to know.
"In my ideal Western Region, there will be no oppression or exploitation, and there will no longer be bullies like the Liu family. By then, everyone will be the same, without any difference."
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Why is it impossible? Don't underestimate me. As long as I have the power, I will be able to do it."
"When you said this, you were secretly placing yourself above everyone else. In this case, there are still levels in the Western Region, and everyone cannot be the same!" Cheng Mu said unhurriedly but with great momentum. .
"I said I'm different, don't compare me to those people anymore, they are pedantic, and I will change everything!"
"How are you different? Many people think that they are different and imagine that they have the ability and power to change everything and save everything. But in the end, they find that they are just an ordinary person! Qiuyun, you are not a god, You can’t control anyone’s thoughts, and everyone can’t be the same. As long as people continue to live together, there will definitely be differences and distinctions!”
"No!" Ling Qiuyun retorted loudly: "Everyone has the same things, so we don't have to worry about who has more and who has less. Isn't this a good world?"
"Okay, but that's impossible because people have thoughts." Cheng Mu said equally firmly.
"Nothing is impossible! Since the gods in the sky can make this mortal world operate normally, in the same way, as long as a powerful person appears, everything I imagined will become a reality!"
"There are so many people in this world, why do you become the one who controls everything? You can be pretentious, but don't imagine that you can do everything."
"I know you think I'm not self-aware, but one day, I'm going to prove that all this can come true!"
"I have a question for you."
"you say!"
"Why do people have to have the same things?"
"As long as everyone is the same in everything, there will be no differences in this world. Without differences, there will be no jealousy and strife, let alone intrigues and intrigues. As a result, there will be no more unfortunate things happening in the world."
"Have you ever wondered if other people want this?"
Ling Qiuyun said disdainfully: "Everything has to pay a price, what they think doesn't matter!"
"This is all your own wishful thinking. If everyone is the same, is there really any meaning to such a life?"
"Life is meaningless!"
"Why do you still do these things if it makes no sense?"
"I'm not doing it for myself, I just want to build a pure land on earth!" Ling Qiuyun argued.
"Okay, what if some people are born with disabilities? Physical defects will always be a torture to him, because he always has one less thing than normal people, and he will always feel that he is inferior to others!"
"No one will look down on him, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all." Ling Qiuyun replied.
"But this person will feel inferior in his heart. If he is not superior to others in any aspect, then he will naturally think that he is the most unfortunate person in the world. You can't decide what everyone will be like when they are born. Some people are born with It has flaws, so the idea that everyone has the same things is simply unrealistic. In this case, misfortune will still exist, and your ideal way out, the pure land on earth, is simply false."
Cheng Mu was not good at debating with others, but in order to stop Qiu Yun from going crazy, he pointed out the absurdity very sharply.
Ling Qiuyun was still unwilling to be outdone, "You are only talking about a small number of people. If this happens, then people who always feel inferior are not worthy of continuing to live in the world."
Cheng Mu scolded slightly: "It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not! Qiuyun, don't be stubborn anymore."
"Cheng Mu, I always thought you were different from others, but I was wrong. Why are you as short-sighted as those people? Why can't you see further?"
"You think I am shallow-minded, but I think you are whimsical."
Ling Qiuyun suddenly grabbed Cheng Mu, and he held on so tightly that Cheng Mu felt pain.
After a long time, Ling Qiuyun realized his gaffe. He let go of his hand and said slowly: "I thought you would understand me, but it seems that I thought too much. Forget it, forget it, the concepts are different, and it will be useless to talk more. !Cheng Mu, you don’t understand me, everyone doesn’t understand me!”
"Qiuyun..."
"Don't say anything. I'm too lazy to listen to the big principles you tell me now." Ling Qiuyun said lonely.
He walked out of the house, leaving Cheng Mu alone inside and sighing.
Ling Qiuyun is lonely.
But it doesn't matter. People who stand on the top of the mountain are destined to be lonely.
