Cyber Daming

Two days later, it was a rare sunny day.

Under the dead tree in the courtyard of the Hundred Houses in Inuyama City, Li Jun was lying on a recliner. The warm light filtered through the intertwined dead branches and covered his face, which still looked sickly and dark yellow.

"How did it get like this?"

A clear voice sounded in front of him, Li Jun squinted his eyes, and Yang Baize, dressed in a simple green shirt, stood in front of the recliner.

Li Jun followed his gaze and looked at his right arm. A faint red line spread from the middle of the fist bone on the back of his hand to the shoulder.

Those were the traces left by Luo Cheng's flying sword that penetrated the stars.

After the full-scale treatment by the medical officers of Baihu Institute of Agriculture, who mainly specialized in painting skin, and coupled with Li Jun's own strong recovery ability, the wounds that were hideous not long ago now only have some faint traces left.

"You mean this?"

Li Jun raised his hand and said with a smile: "After all, others are from well-established and wealthy families. How dare they single-handedly pick on me, Inushan City Hundred Household Office, if they don't have any confidence?"

"That's true. But this powerful dragon in Luocheng still couldn't defeat the local snake."

Yang Baize nodded, paused for a moment and then continued: "Is the person really dead? I heard that Taoist people, especially those in the middle and high positions of the Four Mountains and One Palace, have many means in their hands that can replace death. .”

"The Luo Cheng who entered Inuyama Castle is dead."

Li Jun spoke firmly, raised his hand and tapped his temple: "Including his body and brain."

"Cunning Rabbit Sanku, he may have other backups of his consciousness in Gezao Mountain."

Yang Baize seemed to know some inside information. At this moment, he said solemnly: "But I don't know whether I will continue to use the name Luocheng."

"If he dares to continue to use this name, it will be just another fight. Take it one step at a time, and wait until he has the courage to stand in front of me again. It won't be too troublesome to kill him again."

Li Jun waved his hand lazily, "You came here today just to remind me of this matter?"

"of course not."

Yang Baize declined the chair that Huapi brought for him, lifted up his clothes, and sat on the ground with his back against the tree trunk.

"I went to see the place where you and Luo Cheng fought, and I felt a lot."

"Oh? Tell me." Li Jun became interested.

The young man put his hands on his bent legs, his face full of emotion.

"When I saw that devastated neighborhood, it was shock at first, then fear, and then pure numbness."

Li Jun looked up at the branches above his head and covered his face with one hand: "Why are you shocked?"

"I was shocked that when the sequence reaches a certain level, an individual can have such terrifying destructive power."

Yang Baize said softly: "I once heard the elders of my family say something before, force breaks the law with force, Confucianism breaks the law with literature, Buddhism confuses the heart with compassion, Tao confuses the people with immortality, soldiers disrupt order and order, yin and yang confuse truth and falsehood, the sequence There are ants underneath."

Li Jun smiled and said: "I have heard what you said, and that person also pointed at my nose and said that the empire has fallen into the deformity it is today. In the final analysis, the disease is us."

"I had no feelings about this sentence before. I even thought that no matter how strong a person is, he is just an ordinary man. How can he compete with the power machine of the empire?"

Yang Baize had a complicated expression on his face, "It wasn't until the Zhu Ming royal family declined that they became puppets. They were only carried out during festivals as mascots for worshiping heaven and praying. The imperial army also gradually fell apart and was divided up. Even the temples It has also changed from a place to ask for orders for the people to a testing ground that meets rituals."

"It was then that I suddenly realized that the basis of power is the system, and the basis of the system is people. When the power of individuals is so strong that even the system cannot restrain it, the system will only end up collapsing, and it is inevitable that the country will fail. ending."

Li Jun did not comment on Yang Baize's words, but said calmly: "There will always be more powerful people who establish a new order."

"If that day comes, can the person who established this order still be called a 'human being'? Perhaps the word 'god' would be more accurate."

"Even if a 'god' appears, that's normal. Don't forget, Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty never regards himself as someone special."

"But among the hundreds of millions of common people living in the vast empire, they are just the most ordinary people."

Yang Baize said in a serious tone: "Because their genes were not strong enough, their future was cut off by a bottomless chasm, and they were put on shackles that they could never break free from. This is not their fault, it is God's injustice, it is Qiankun is selfish!"

Li Jun's heart suddenly thumped, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Yang Baize, given your status today, it is not a good thing to have such thoughts."

"That's why I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day I will become a swan, raising the banner of 'Princes and generals should rather have their own kind' to rebel against these 'gods'."

Yang Baize leaned his shoulder against the rough tree trunk and said with a wry smile: "I'm still afraid that the life I finally saved will be taken away easily by someone one day, but I have no power to resist."

Li Jun turned over and sat up from the recliner, looking directly at Yang Baize: "Honghu's rebellion is not for ordinary people, but to put themselves on a pedestal!"

"But the idea proposed by Honghu is indeed the only sustenance of ordinary people and the only hope they can see. Therefore, no matter how the three religions and nine schools have targeted Honghu in recent years, they have not been able to completely eradicate them, but have grown stronger. In fact, these All of them prove to some extent that maybe Honghu is the real people’s support.”

Click.

Suddenly, cracks filled the lounge chair under Li Jun's buttocks. Yang Baize, who was leaning under the tree, didn't notice the movement beside him at all. His eyes were blank, still immersed in his own world, talking to himself.

"But these Honghu people now are just clowns with evil intentions. I don't want to be associated with them. But I am in the Confucian order, but I feel suffocated."

Yang Baize's tone gradually became lower, "So, in the end, I was left with nothing but numbness."

Li Jun's lips moved back and forth, but he couldn't utter another word for a long time.

It wasn't that he was unable to refute Yang Baize's "slippage of thought", but that a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

The young man in front of him was not so much lamenting the impact of the sequence on the imperial system as he was exposing his weaknesses and tricks to Li Jun.

It is impossible for Yang Baize not to know that there are monitoring devices everywhere in the Jinyi Guardhouse. As long as Li Jun spreads what he said, this young talent who is now popular in the entire Japanese area will immediately be attacked by the New Donglin Party. The rejection and even liquidation of Confucianism.

But Yang Baize still did this. There is no doubt that he was giving someone a handle and expressing his loyalty to Li Jun.

A boy who is only thirteen or fourteen years old can actually do such a thing. Yang Baize's maturity is far beyond that of his peers.

But Li Jun didn't like this feeling. His bones were stuck in his throat, and a suffocation was trapped in his heart. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
