Yan Ke frowned. "You didn't drink last night." He said, "How did you remember that?"

Lin Jue rolled his eyes. "Although I don't remember it, I can guess it." He smiled slyly, "My surname must be Xie in my previous life."

A look of bewilderment floated across Yan Ke's face.

"My surname is Xie, and my name is Xie Duan," Lin Jue continued on his own. "My family is poor, and I couldn't find a wife at a very old age. As a result, I was walking by the river one day and found a big snail, which I didn't eat. Go home and raise them."

"Then every day when I went out, that snail turned into a aunt... young man, cooking and washing for me every day in order to repay my kindness." Lin Jue looked at Yan Ke and grinned, "After I died, The snail boy is still reluctant to part with me, so he brought me back to his original world..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was blocked by a piece of pastry.

"I'm not a demon cultivator," Yan Ke shook his head, clapped his hands, and poured Lin Jue a cup of tea, "I said it before."

The little bird quacked twice on Lin Jue's shoulder, Lin Jue took the pastry from his mouth, broke off a small piece and fed it to the little bird.

"I know, I know." Lin Jue rested his chin, tilted his head and stared at Yan Ke with a smile.He wanted to say, "I just want to tease you, seeing your helpless face, I am very happy for some reason", but he didn't say it, he just wiped the moisture from the mouth of the matcha cup with his finger, and changed the subject .

"I have to thank you," he said, "you called Mr. Fang over yesterday and cured the bird."

"However," Lin Jue looked up at Yan Ke, "Mr. Fang talked to me later and advised me not to practice. You asked him to say it."

Yan Ke pursed his lips visibly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"I'll just say it," Lin Jue curled his lips, "Mr. Fang said something well, but suddenly it changed. Tell me, what's wrong with my cultivation?"

"There is no harm, but it is not suitable." Yan Ke whispered, and took the teacup from Lin Jue, "What did Mr. Fang tell you?"

"He must have said a lot of nonsense in a serious manner, so you have nothing to say on the spot." Yan Ke seemed to chuckle slightly, and said.

Lin Jue narrowed his eyes, and poked Yan Ke's arm: "Did you know this, so you asked him to persuade me?"

Yan Ke didn't answer, he sat beside Lin Jue. "What did he say?" Yan Ke asked.

Lin Jue repeated Fang Qiushui's words exactly, and in the middle of speaking, he heard the door knock.

Zhao Xuehan pushed the door and entered with leisurely steps.A small rag doll sitting on his shoulder waved to greet Lin Jue and Yan Ke when he saw Lin Jue and Yan Ke.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Wen Tiandong asked Lin Jue.

Lin Jue nodded, Yan Ke stood up. "What are you doing here?" He looked at Zhao Xuehan expressionlessly and said.

Zhao Xuehan snorted. "This is not your house, what do you want me to do here?" He raised the corner of his mouth, just showing a sarcasm, but was slapped on the cheek by Wen Tiandong on his shoulder with a cotton arm.

"Can't you talk well?" Wen Tiandong blamed, and turned to look at Lin Jue, "Xiaohan said that he was going to find me a body nearby, so he happened to be on the way, so I came here to have a look."

"Do you have a goal?" Lin Jue recalled what Wen Tiandong said last night, "Where do you want to find it?"

"I don't know the details yet. But I heard that a bodyguard in the city to the north passed away two days ago." Wen Tiandong's round black eyes gleamed. "It is said that he is eight feet tall with a leopard head and ring eyes. Good. I think..."

"I changed my mind and I won't go." Zhao Xuehan immediately interrupted him, grabbed Wen Tiandong from his shoulders, and threw it to Lin Jue, "Yan Ke, I have something to ask you, come with me."

"As for you," he raised his hand, pointed at Lin Jue, and then at Wen Tiandong, "just play with him for a while. Don't run around."

Wen Tiandong sat on Lin Jue's lap, looked at the backs of Zhao Xuehan and Yan Ke going away, sighed, and scratched his head with his short hands.

"It's a pity, if I miss these few days, the bodyguard will be buried." He grumbled and complained, and then poked Lin Jue's stomach, "Staying in the room is boring, I'll take you out for a walk Let's go."

Lin Jue suddenly felt lighter.When he stood up from the bed, he felt the wind blowing under his feet, and he took a small step, and he walked several feet.

"I can use a tree branch as a sword, so I can use you as a sword." Wen Tiandong said, jumping onto Lin Jue's shoulder, pushing the bird to make room for him, "But your size Big, a little inconvenient. But it’s okay to let you go faster.”

He smiled: "After all, the Demon Realm is vast and sparsely populated. If you use the walking speed of ordinary people, you won't be able to see anything in a day."

Lin Jue nodded and led Wen Tiandong out of the room.The little bird was just recovering from a serious illness. After Wen Tiandong occupied Lin Jue's shoulder, it let out a cry of dissatisfaction. After flying around the house for a few times, it became tired. It fell into the bowl and rested with its head under its wings. go out.

The two quickly passed through the bamboo forest, facing the cliffs.Under Wen Tiandong's guidance, Lin Jue crossed the valley along a small road, and in front of him was an open and empty wilderness that stretches as far as the eye can see.

"This is the Demon Realm." Wen Tiandong said, "It's said to be the Demon Realm, but it's actually just a remote corner of the mainland. If it weren't for the abundance of monsters, most of the demon cultivators are here, and it's not much different from the Human Realm."

Lin Jue walked and looked around.The ground under his feet was hard and dry, and there were few plants. There were several peaks in the distance, and the tallest one looked familiar. It should be the Yuanxiu Peak that he had climbed yesterday.

"The environment in the demon world is very bad." Wen Tiandong said, "Only the residence that Xiaohan chose for me is not bad. Therefore, many demon cultivators left this land and mixed among ordinary people."

"Isn't there going to be anything wrong with this?" Lin Jue asked, "Moxie cultivators usually practice evil ways..."

"There are many kinds of demon cultivators." Wen Tiandong said, looking at Lin Jue with a smile, "I believe you have seen demon cultivators who hide in the crowd and live an honest life."

The figure of the mute painter instantly appeared in Lin Jue's mind.He should be an innocent demon cultivator who seriously wants to live a mortal life.I also know this, so I will do my best to save him.

But is it worth it to save one person and kill hundreds?

Lin Jue patted his cheek, trying hard not to think about this question any more.Wen Tiandong stared at Lin Jue and rolled his round eyes.

"It's Yuanxiu Peak," Wen Tiandong patted Lin Jue on the shoulder, "Let's go up."

Lin Jue suddenly realized that he had unknowingly walked to the foot of Yuanxiu Peak.He thought he was too heavy to fly up, but Wen Tiandong picked a straw from the side of the road according to yesterday's method, and he himself got into Lin Jue's body and flew up by stepping on the straw.

At the top of the peak, Wen Tiandong returned to the baby's body and stuffed the straw into Lin Jue's hands. "Hold it well," he said with a smile, "If you lose it, we won't be able to go down."

Lin Jue pinched the straw and looked up into the distance.The sky is so clear that it can be seen thousands of miles away. In the distance, there are green mountains and green mountains, and the city wall is connected. It seems that there are two worlds with the barren land under the feet, but they are under the same sky.

Wen Tiandong lightly tapped Lin Jue's shoulder: "Look at the mountain in front of you, can you see the road on the mountain?"

Lin Jue nodded.In front of him was a steep low peak, and a path wound up the rock face to the summit.

"Let me ask you a question." Wen Tiandong said softly.

"Suppose you are driving on this road, with a cliff on one side and an abyss on the other. There is a family in your car. Suddenly an old man and three children appear on the road."

"If you drive the car to the left, the old man will be killed; if you drive the car to the right, the child will be killed. If you hit the cliff, the car will be destroyed. Which will you choose?"

Lin Jue stared blankly at the mountain in front of him, not knowing why Wen Tiandong suddenly asked himself such a difficult problem.This question is obviously unsolvable. No matter which way you go, you will die.

"I can't choose," he said.

"You must choose one." Wen Tiandong said.

"Then... let's choose the old man's side." Lin Jue hesitated.

"Why?" Wen Tiandong said.

"...the old man has experienced almost no regrets in his life, but the life of a child has just begun." Lin Jue said, "Besides, one life is one life, and the other is three lives."

"Really?" Wen Tiandong chuckled, "But what if this old man is an important official of the court, and he is rushing to the disaster area with an edict to open a warehouse to release food and save the victims? If you run him over to death, there will be Without timely assistance, tens of thousands of people could only starve to death."

Lin Jue was startled, "This is a bit..." He protested, "I didn't tell me the identity of the old man at the beginning of this question."

"Yes. But isn't that realistic?" Wen Tiandong said, smiling and nodding Lin Jue's cheek, "It's human nature to want to save as many lives as possible. How many people will be at the moment of endangering their own lives?" Can you think carefully and make no mistakes?"

"You have just come into this world, you don't understand the laws of things, and your heart is good or bad. Whether the final outcome is good or bad, it should not be held on your head." Wen Tiandong said softly.

His words were like a gentle wind, gently pushing away the heavy fog that had been lingering on Lin Zhixin's head for several days.Lin Jue took a long breath. "But what Mozun said is also correct." He whispered, "I really should think too much before saving people."

"Don't listen to him." Wen Tiandong laughed, "He just saw that you were going to leave, and he was afraid that he would not be able to use his body, so he was impatient, so he didn't choose what to say."

"Think about it," he tapped Lin Jue's forehead, "What would have happened if you hadn't left Immortal Lu in a hurry? Maybe you'd have been discovered on the spot and you'd been blocked by the Immortal Lu calling on the villagers. If this is the case, what should you do? You can’t kill one or two and run away?”

Lin Jue nodded, then shook his head: "But..."

"Don't think about it anymore." Wen Tiandong said softly, "Even if you are really wrong, people always have to look forward. Besides, this kind of thing is beyond your control."

"And..." He rubbed his head, looked at Lin Jue with a blink of an eye, hesitated, and changed the subject, "Do you...don't like Xiaohan very much?"

Lin Jue froze for a moment, and shrunk his neck involuntarily.

It's not like I don't like him, he thought, I'm afraid of him to death.

Wen Tiandong looked at Lin Jue and laughed.

"Xiaohan is not a scary person. There is a reason why he asked you to accompany him to Huaicheng." He said softly, "He knows a lot, but he doesn't like to say it."

Lin Jue was silent.He recalled how he was driven by Zhao Xuehan in front of Zhuo Mansion's gate, raised his hand to peel off all the walls, and countless monks' primordial spirits appeared, emitting a miserable blue light in daylight.He also thought of the way Zhuo Fangling walked in front of Wen Tiandong and spoke softly, and the inexplicable panic and anger that suddenly surged in his heart after the head of Yuancheng School Feng pierced Wen Tiandong's chest with a sword.

These scenes are intertwined with Wen Tiandong's residence surrounded by green bamboo forests in the barren demon world.Lin Jue seemed to sense a subtle emotion.

"Did he go to Huaicheng for you?" He asked in a low voice. "He knows you are innocent, and wants to go to Huaicheng to expose the truth and wash away your grievances?"

Wen Tiandong's eyes flickered.

"That's not the case." He smiled softly, "Xiaohan himself is a person with a sense of justice. He went to Huaicheng just to find out the truth."
