The robin walked out of the ward and closed the door softly.The pale incandescent lamps in the corridor illuminated his slightly sunken cheeks, and made his eyes especially dark under the shadow of the long shattered hair on his forehead.He slowly rubbed his heels on the floor in front of the ward door, then walked slowly towards the other end of the corridor.He raised the corner of his mouth, looking in a good mood.
There was silence in the corridor, and no one stopped him from leaving without authorization for a while.Bloody footprints stretched out from the white tiles at the door of the ward.
Soon, the robin visited half of the mental hospital and stopped at the entrance of a corridor.
"Is anyone there?" He slowly moved his gaze from the stairway on the upper floor to the stairway on the next floor, and asked with a smile.Compared to before when he was like a mute, at this time he was already able to speak fluently.
The stairway was empty, only his echo could be heard.
"No one. It's a pity." The robin sighed sadly, and looked down at his hospital gown.His expression became even more melancholy when he saw the large swathes of red blooming from the originally clean blue stripes.
"tick"
A drop of sweat fell on the ground at the bottom of the stairs separated by a wall.On the inside of the door at the stairway, a woman anxiously clutched the handle and nozzle of the fire extinguisher, with her back against the wall, staring closely at the gap between the door and the wall.
Hearing the sound from the stairway, she began to close the door soundlessly with her arm resting on the door panel.Watching the door leading to the corridor slowly close, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.But the breath was only halfway through, and it was stuck in the throat abruptly.
Because a thin hand was pressed against the door, and the door was pushed open with no stagnation.
The woman suppressed the trembling in her throat, and pressed the lever hard.But the scene she expected did not appear.Even though she had pushed the handle to the limit, the person in front of her was unscathed.
"Why?" She couldn't believe this reality and murmured.
"Yeah, why?" The robin who pushed open the door smiled and snapped his fingers.The fire extinguisher in the woman's hand disappeared.
The woman suddenly felt her hands lighten, she looked down stiffly, and found that the hands that were still holding the fire extinguisher suddenly became empty.Except for the wall behind her that blocked her way of life, she has nothing to rely on.
Her emotions completely collapsed, looking at the bloody robin in front of her, she screamed and complained: "What a waste of Dean Li's treatment of you, robin, is this how you repay him?"
The robin stood there calmly, heard the words, and said calmly, "I think you have misunderstood the person. I am Doctor Hei, not some robin."
"No matter who you are, if Dean Li knows that you are such a person, he will definitely regret taking you in!" The woman spat forward.
The robin, perhaps it should be said to be Doctor Hei, Doctor Hei easily dodged this light attack and locked the woman's throat forcefully.He patted the woman's blushing face with his free hand, and said with compassion in his eyes: "Unfortunately, lady, you didn't understand what I said. Only that idiot robin has that kind of feeling towards me." Unnecessary expectations. But the most regrettable thing is..."
Dr. Hei frowned, and after a while, he dragged his voice and continued: "Out of respect for the lady, I didn't want to be so rude, but you rejected this opportunity just now. So I'm sorry."
While speaking, he pulled out a scalpel with a cold light from the tip of his waist.Due to the extreme sharpness of the scalpel blade, a thin gash appeared on his waist following this movement.Without looking at it, he threw the knife upwards, then held it with his backhand, and the tip of the knife pierced the woman's carotid artery.
"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing." Halfway through, his eyes lit up, and he moved the blade that was aimed at the woman's carotid artery to the collarbone.The woman's complexion was purple, and she was already on the verge of suffocating to death.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I almost forgot to wake you up before it shattered." Doctor Hei slightly loosened his hand, apologizing sincerely.
The woman pinched Dr. Hei's hand weakly, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she was speechless.
Doctor Hei turned a deaf ear to it. He curled his lips maliciously, looked straight into the woman's eyes and said, "Do you know the truth about the genetic disease that you regard as the enemy of civilization? Of course, you don't know, I will tell you .”
"Let me tell you, there are no genetic diseases in this world at all, only the self-deception of your entire ignorant race. Those people's sudden death was never due to any genetic disease, but because their souls went out of their bodies."
"There is another higher-level civilization in this world. Your life and your soul are nothing more than the energy they have cultivated to maintain the achievements of civilization. It doesn't matter what your name is or what your character is, a' The collective term 'N Energy' sums up all of you."
"In other words, in the eyes of higher beings, your life is nothing. It can be controlled at will, crushed at will, and used at will. Even your civilization can develop to this day because of the people from above. That civilization doesn't take you seriously. After all, who cares about an ant's struggles?"
Seeing the astonishment in the woman's expression, Doctor Hei raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you believe me? Ma'am, when I appear in front of you, you should have no doubts about the civilization above you. Or is it hypoxia? Already made your brain lose the ability to think?"
Having said that, Doctor Hei withdrew his hand in displeasure, allowing the woman to slump to the ground.
"Impossible... Impossible!" The woman propped her hands on the ground, panting helplessly.
"Nothing is impossible. Resisting the truth for a meaningless sense of security, your ignorance makes me very sad." He looked down at the woman and snapped his fingers again.In an instant, the door that was originally on the door frame disappeared without a trace as if it had been swallowed by something unknown.
The woman's body trembled with fear.
"That's right, that's right!" Dr. Hei licked his lower lip, clapped his palms and praised: "It's right to be afraid, this is the truth, the frightening but sober truth. You should be happy, this is your first step to bid farewell to ignorance One step. Well, ma'am, the next step is the second step. Maybe you will understand my good intentions at the last moment before you die."
"Although it's only in the reflection of memories." Dr. Hei added in a vague way.
While speaking, Doctor Hei squeezed the scalpel in his hand, and cut towards the woman's carotid artery.The woman covered her neck with sweat profusely, but it was difficult to hold back the life passing through it.
"Does it hurt? Don't be afraid, people always need to feel pain in this world." Doctor Hei slowly stood up, with a strange tenderness in his voice, "Only the pain in the squeeze and conflict can make people sober Only in this way can people see their human form clearly. Pain? No, you should feel very happy like me. Only in the constant struggle and constant pain will you not be overwhelmed by the inner rupture, and you will not live. It's - it's out of human form."
Women eventually lose their vitality.Doctor Hei shrugged, turned around, and continued to look for his next target.
Not long after, his steps stopped.In front of him was a wall with a decorative painting of blue sky and white clouds hanging on the wall.Doctor Hei stared at the cloud with a moment of nostalgia in his eyes.
In other corners of the hospital, there are shivering people hiding.The genetic disease that has taken root in their hearts for thousands of years has become an alternative belief. They still don't know the truth about the genetic disease, and they don't understand that there is another civilization above their civilization.
Everyone is stumbling in the dark, and everyone is walking in confusion.Hope is volatile.Countless ancestors raised it in the abyss, and then fell down in the abyss.The surviving people live carefully in the corner, and they have almost no other requirements except to live.They have never thought that in the eyes of another civilization, the life and death they have spent their entire lives in awe of is just an insignificant existence.
……
Underworld Cold Food Festival.
Ji Heqing quickly walked across the sky filled with N energy fireworks, and inserted himself among a group of youths wearing cloud pattern robes.He grabbed the collar of one of the young men in red and punched it with his fist.The people around all scattered in all directions, as if they dare not step into the muddy water.
"Qiu Jianxiu, what do you mean?" Ji Heqing punched down and asked angrily.
"What do you mean, it's just setting off fireworks, and it's quite lenient! Without you, Father Cao, you are nothing!" Qiu Jianxiu is also a tough guy, even after being beaten, he still choked.
"A can of N energy can cost dozens of lives!" Ji Heqing gritted his teeth.
"Ha! You call this human life? Hahahahahahahaha" Qiu Jianxiu seemed to have heard a big joke, even if he was controlled by others, he laughed wildly.
"I don't think it's funny to kill dozens of people for fun." Ji Heqing strangled Qiu Jianxiu's neck with a livid face.
"Strangle! If you have the ability, strangle me! Your father has made enemies everywhere in the court. If you really strangle my son Cao, you will make your father completely tear his face away from Jin Shang and Wu Cao!" Qiu Jianxiu His veins bulged from being pinched, but his expression was not panicked at all.
Ji Heqing took a deep breath, and flung Qiu Jianxiu away.
Qiu Jianxiu covered his throat and coughed for a while, and when his breathing slowed down, he said sarcastically, "Human life? It's so funny, Mr. Cao, the majestic Mr. Cao, just went to the place where the beasts gather, and was turned against by those beasts? You wouldn't Do you really think that those beasts grow a human form and become humans? No matter what form they are, beasts are beasts after all! In my opinion, instead of speaking for those beasts, you might as well flirt with those untouchables. At least you don’t look so stupid .”
"Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut as a lowly animal. This is the upbringing of the children of the aristocratic family? They are conscious and thoughtful, and I can feel the emotional communication between them. They are not animals at all! They are the same people as us!" Ji Heqing said expressionlessly.
"It's the upbringing of the Ji Mansion to move your hands and feet when you see people. Tsk, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. As for those unfounded things, how do you feel, do you rely on imagination? Wake up, they are just a bunch of dumb, Emotional communication can only be realized in your dreams." Qiu Jianxiu patted the dust on his clothes without giving in.
"And even as you said, a large part of them were cultivated by us in test tubes, and we used precious resources to make most of them give birth to consciousness from a chaos of nothing. If it weren't for us, They will not have life at all. Since they have been favored, they should pay the price, and they are lucky to be able to become the operating energy of our underworld."
"Three lives are lucky? This is a disaster for them! We are not qualified to decide the fate of a race that has enlightened wisdom." Ji Heqing clenched his fists.
"To put it bluntly. N energy is related to the safety of our family and the survival of the underworld. Don't you know? If all the N energy factories are withdrawn now, the entire underworld and the underworld will collapse within a year. Will disappear from this world! Could it be that you will kill yourself because of sympathy energy? Then persuade the whole race to die like you, a lunatic, to fulfill those things that are not human at all?"
Qiu Jianxiu sneered and continued, "It's ridiculous, you want to be their savior? Do you think you are a saint? I think you are a traitor and a disgrace to the underworld! Fighting against your own race for mere energy is simply unreasonable!"
"We can always find a way to coexist. There are other energy sources in this world that can support the underworld. As long as we find the right mining method and increase the utilization rate, we don't have to kill so many people!" Ji Heqing argued hard.
"N energy is the only ready-made energy with mature technology, why not use it? With Ji Heqing's mouth?"
"But this is also countless lives! Don't you have any conscience?"
"Conscience? Ji Heqing, I ask you to make it clear that conscience is for the same kind. We are the primates of the world. If we are not of our race, their hearts must be different. Even if they really gave birth to consciousness as you said, You should not be the object of our sympathy. You are a person from the underworld, and you should represent the interests of the underworld. You are not called conscience, but stupid! Also, it is useless for you to tell me this, if you have the ability, you Talk to Imago! If you don’t care, go talk to your father. Your father’s confidant is the supervisor of the N energy plant, can you still fight against your father?”
Ji Heqing's eyes dimmed, and Yujian immediately moved towards Ji's mansion.
Qiu Jianxiu stood on the spot with his arms folded, glanced at his mouth sullenly, and kicked over the can of fireworks in front of him with the N energy characteristic.
For the people who were sheltered by their ancestors, they didn't know the despair of struggling to survive. They only knew that the fireworks were gorgeous and beautiful, and they didn't think they were happy enough.They deliberately forgot about the other race whose living space was infinitely squeezed for their lives.They are the center of the world, and they deserve to enjoy the peace and prosperity squeezed from the life of another civilization.
……
Jifu.
Ji Hanguang's study room.
There are 81 warning lines woven with spiritual power hanging outside the study, and there are summoning bells tied to the lines.A gust of wind roared loudly to startle the bell, passed through the door, and blew a corner of the white declaration on the desk.
Before the case, a middle-aged man with a majestic and fierce appearance, but an upright and gentle demeanor was holding on to a brush, waving his blue moiré sleeve, and writing on the white paper.The person in Ji Hanguang's study was naturally Ji Hanguang.
When the first gust of wind touched the hairs on the brush, Ji Hanguang's face became clear.He immediately put down the writing brush, weighed the top of the paper with an emerald three-toed dragon paperweight, and asked kindly: "Why are you free to come to my place today, He Qing?"
At the same time Gale Feng entered, a figure appeared in the study.This figure was dressed in a simple white toga that could not tolerate any dust, and the crown on his head was worn impartially. His current expression was not very good-looking.
And the only one who can come and go so freely in the study of Ji Hanguang, the general of the underworld and one of the six masters, is his only heir, Ji Heqing.
"Father, you already knew about it." Ji He listed straight to the point.
"So what if you know it, so what if you don't know it?" Ji Hanguang asked unhurriedly.It made him look calm, as calm as if the two of them were discussing an unimportant topic.
But Ji Heqing knew that this was by no means an unimportant topic. He held a sheathed sword in his hand, but the sharpness of his body was not included: "But this is a human life! Are you so indifferent? ?”
Ji Hanguang shook his head, like every qualified elder, patiently guided: "He Qing, in a high position, it is taboo to act rashly."
"I don't want to know what is taboo, I just want to know why!" Ji Heqing interrupted Ji Hanguang's lecture.
"Why is it so important?" Ji Hanguang's voice was still calm.
"Is it that important? Heh, human life is at stake. You asked me about it..." Ji Heqing covered his hands with his sleeves and said expressionlessly, "When I was young, it was you who told me that I should not imitate the world, but should stay true to death and be independent. You told me to keep the right way in the world! Isn’t what we are talking about now the right way?!”
Ji Hanguang shook his head again: "He Qing, people's eyes are not only downward, but also upward. Being in a high position, the righteous way is not as simple as you think."
Clang——
Ji Heqing held the sword in both hands, and with a little force, he pulled out half of the bronze sword from its sheath.He put the blades together, and the sword was facing Ji Hanguang and himself, with a calm voice: "Then you say, how complicated can it be? Like this sword, it just goes straight. The blade never bends. The blood on the sword. Complicated things are not righteous, but your heart, father?"
Ji Hanguang was silent.
Ji Heqing put his sword back into its sheath, and gripped the tiger's mouth: "You have always been in my heart a great hero who will not bow to any injustice, a great Qingliu, who is strict with his relatives and bows to all people. But now? High position, high position! How did you become what you are now?!"
He looked at Ji Hanguang with reddened eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "I think you understand me best!"
"Son, understanding and choice are different after all. There are too many things to consider in choosing..." Ji Hanguang Gujing stood silently in place, and sighed for a long while.
"I don't understand what else to consider." Ji Heqing stepped forward in three steps, slapped his palm on the case, and said angrily, "Truth is dead, but people are alive. Are we going to do this?" Continue to think about it, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and watch them cry blood and cry indifferently? Those who died for us, what guilt?!"
The emerald paperweight was immediately shattered, and the debris flew between the two of them.It's like the gap between Yin and Han.
Ji Hanguang didn't answer right away, he turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sign behind the case.Looking at the huge "righteousness" on the white paper, he lowered his voice and said, "Before you were young, there are some things that I didn't teach you well."
He paused, and then continued: "This man, if he sees things broadly, he needs ignorance. Because sometimes, ignorance is the rule and the king's law."
"Ignorance is the rule and the king's law? It's really—" Ji Heqing clenched his fists and sneered, "It's a big joke in the world!"
"If that's the case, what kind of rules and laws are these rules that whitewash the peace, this king's law that persecutes the people?"
"Let me tell you, ignorance will never become a rule and a king's law. It is just an excuse for the dull and cowardly to dare not face the truth!"
Ji Hanguang fell silent again.
"Why don't you speak? Is it because you feel ashamed and have nothing to say?" Ji Heqing asked indifferently.
"What do you think they are innocent?" Ji Hanguang looked at that "righteousness" quietly, looked at that pure, heavy, sharp-edged "righteousness", and closed his eyes after a while, "Okay, I will tell you today. "
"For this world, we are the ones who manage the chess, but we are not the ones who want to be independent on the chessboard—" Ji Hanguang paused, opened his eyes, and turned around slowly.
His voice was blunt and powerful: "This is Gu."
When the voice fell, Ji Hanguang's eyes seemed to close the dusk of the sky and the earth, and instantly became extremely tall and distant, so far away that he seemed to be a real person in the temple.
He didn't hold a sword like Ji Heqing, but he was more like a person holding a sword: "If our life must be paid for by their death, no matter whether they are wise or not, whether they cry or laugh, their life is a sin." There is no pardon!"
For a moment, the air became extremely heavy.It was so heavy that it seemed as if the eyes of all the saints in the temple were on this narrow living room, and it was so heavy that it was difficult to move even an inch.
The veins in Ji Heqing's hands were bulging, he staggered back three steps, and laughed miserably: "Everyone in the world thinks that you, Ji Hanguang, who went to the frontier to play for the people, are a real gentleman."
"So hahahaha, so, come, you, also, yes, the same, ah." He smiled, but it was uglier than crying.
After laughing, he straightened up a little bit, and said with a cold face: "Everyone is innocent, if you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse?"
He stretched out an arm, and said with a sarcasm: "You see, this world is really like a dark underworld where evil spirits run rampant and cannot see the light. Everyone is sleeping for the underworld, and who is waking up for them?"
Ji Heqing took a deep breath and looked at Ji Hanguang: "Father, some people live by eating and drinking, and some people live by a single bone. Some people can bend their heads countless times for eating and drinking, but for others For a person, bowing his head is killing him!"
"Rotten roots won't stop emitting rot just because the passers-by are blind. What's the use of living in a stupor?" Ji Heqing paused, "Since no one will replace them Wake up, I'm coming!"
Having said that, he waved his sleeves and immediately walked out of the study.
Ji Hanguang remained silent and did not stop him. When Ji Heqing walked to the door, he finally spoke:
"Heqing, the world is vast, and everything is different. Choosing is giving up, gaining is losing, and maintaining is hurting. One end of the steelyard is us, and the other end of the steelyard is them. It is also for survival, you increase The weight of either side will lead to the extinction of the other side. You need to know this.”
"I will make the two parties balance, rather than either party to survive. This is the right path I pursue." Ji Heqing just said.
"Even if you're the only one on this road?"
"Death without regrets!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Ji Hanguang slapped the table, and the city mansion like a clay statue was finally completely broken. He looked at Ji Heqing's decisive back and shouted, "Today, if you dare to walk out of this door, as Ji's family Patriarch, I will remove you from the genealogy! As the chief minister of the underworld, I will issue an arrest warrant for you! From now on, you don’t have to be Cao Shizi!"
"It's up to you. You don't need to sit in the seat where you are full and sleepy all day long!" Ji Heqing didn't turn his head.
He walked to the door and pushed open the closed door.The extremely gorgeous light from the hanging rails of the sky shone into this study, which was called a shabby room in the underworld, and reflected the black and white hanging words behind the case in mottled colors.
A sigh sounded from behind him.
Ji Heqing still didn't turn his head back, but behind what he couldn't see, Ji Hanguang bent his shoulders and bowed his head after all: "This is my confession to the underworld."
"As your father, I hope you can go on. If one day, you regret it, come back."
"My son, it will never be a shame. Father, there will always be a place for you."
Ji Heqing closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and stepped out of the threshold.
The author has something to say: Note:
① Cold Food Festival: also known as "No Smoking Festival"
②The core viewpoint of anthropocentrism:
In the value relationship between man and nature, only conscious human beings are the subject, and nature is the object.The scale of value evaluation must be grasped and always in the hands of human beings. Whenever we talk about "value", we mean "meaning to people".
In the ethical relationship between man and nature, the idea that man is the purpose should be implemented.
All human activities are to meet the needs of their own survival and development, and activities that cannot achieve this purpose are meaningless, so everything should be based on the interests of human beings.

There was silence in the corridor, and no one stopped him from leaving without authorization for a while.Bloody footprints stretched out from the white tiles at the door of the ward.
Soon, the robin visited half of the mental hospital and stopped at the entrance of a corridor.

A drop of sweat fell on the ground at the bottom of the stairs separated by a wall.On the inside of the door at the stairway, a woman anxiously clutched the handle and nozzle of the fire extinguisher, with her back against the wall, staring closely at the gap between the door and the wall.
Hearing the sound from the stairway, she began to close the door soundlessly with her arm resting on the door panel.Watching the door leading to the corridor slowly close, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.But the breath was only halfway through, and it was stuck in the throat abruptly.

Seeing the astonishment in the woman's expression, Doctor Hei raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you believe me? Ma'am, when I appear in front of you, you should have no doubts about the civilization above you. Or is it hypoxia? Already made your brain lose the ability to think?"

"Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut as a lowly animal. This is the upbringing of the children of the aristocratic family? They are conscious and thoughtful, and I can feel the emotional communication between them. They are not animals at all! They are the same people as us!" Ji Heqing said expressionlessly.
"It's the upbringing of the Ji Mansion to move your hands and feet when you see people. Tsk, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. As for those unfounded things, how do you feel, do you rely on imagination? Wake up, they are just a bunch of dumb, Emotional communication can only be realized in your dreams." Qiu Jianxiu patted the dust on his clothes without giving in.
"And even as you said, a large part of them were cultivated by us in test tubes, and we used precious resources to make most of them give birth to consciousness from a chaos of nothing. If it weren't for us, They will not have life at all. Since they have been favored, they should pay the price, and they are lucky to be able to become the operating energy of our underworld."
"Three lives are lucky? This is a disaster for them! We are not qualified to decide the fate of a race that has enlightened wisdom." Ji Heqing clenched his fists.
"To put it bluntly. N energy is related to the safety of our family and the survival of the underworld. Don't you know? If all the N energy factories are withdrawn now, the entire underworld and the underworld will collapse within a year. Will disappear from this world! Could it be that you will kill yourself because of sympathy energy? Then persuade the whole race to die like you, a lunatic, to fulfill those things that are not human at all?"
Qiu Jianxiu sneered and continued, "It's ridiculous, you want to be their savior? Do you think you are a saint? I think you are a traitor and a disgrace to the underworld! Fighting against your own race for mere energy is simply unreasonable!"
"We can always find a way to coexist. There are other energy sources in this world that can support the underworld. As long as we find the right mining method and increase the utilization rate, we don't have to kill so many people!" Ji Heqing argued hard.
"N energy is the only ready-made energy with mature technology, why not use it? With Ji Heqing's mouth?"
"But this is also countless lives! Don't you have any conscience?"
"Conscience? Ji Heqing, I ask you to make it clear that conscience is for the same kind. We are the primates of the world. If we are not of our race, their hearts must be different. Even if they really gave birth to consciousness as you said, You should not be the object of our sympathy. You are a person from the underworld, and you should represent the interests of the underworld. You are not called conscience, but stupid! Also, it is useless for you to tell me this, if you have the ability, you Talk to Imago! If you don’t care, go talk to your father. Your father’s confidant is the supervisor of the N energy plant, can you still fight against your father?”
Ji Heqing's eyes dimmed, and Yujian immediately moved towards Ji's mansion.
Qiu Jianxiu stood on the spot with his arms folded, glanced at his mouth sullenly, and kicked over the can of fireworks in front of him with the N energy characteristic.
For the people who were sheltered by their ancestors, they didn't know the despair of struggling to survive. They only knew that the fireworks were gorgeous and beautiful, and they didn't think they were happy enough.They deliberately forgot about the other race whose living space was infinitely squeezed for their lives.They are the center of the world, and they deserve to enjoy the peace and prosperity squeezed from the life of another civilization.
……
Jifu.
Ji Hanguang's study room.
There are 81 warning lines woven with spiritual power hanging outside the study, and there are summoning bells tied to the lines.A gust of wind roared loudly to startle the bell, passed through the door, and blew a corner of the white declaration on the desk.
Before the case, a middle-aged man with a majestic and fierce appearance, but an upright and gentle demeanor was holding on to a brush, waving his blue moiré sleeve, and writing on the white paper.The person in Ji Hanguang's study was naturally Ji Hanguang.
When the first gust of wind touched the hairs on the brush, Ji Hanguang's face became clear.He immediately put down the writing brush, weighed the top of the paper with an emerald three-toed dragon paperweight, and asked kindly: "Why are you free to come to my place today, He Qing?"
At the same time Gale Feng entered, a figure appeared in the study.This figure was dressed in a simple white toga that could not tolerate any dust, and the crown on his head was worn impartially. His current expression was not very good-looking.
And the only one who can come and go so freely in the study of Ji Hanguang, the general of the underworld and one of the six masters, is his only heir, Ji Heqing.
"Father, you already knew about it." Ji He listed straight to the point.
"So what if you know it, so what if you don't know it?" Ji Hanguang asked unhurriedly.It made him look calm, as calm as if the two of them were discussing an unimportant topic.
But Ji Heqing knew that this was by no means an unimportant topic. He held a sheathed sword in his hand, but the sharpness of his body was not included: "But this is a human life! Are you so indifferent? ?”
Ji Hanguang shook his head, like every qualified elder, patiently guided: "He Qing, in a high position, it is taboo to act rashly."
"I don't want to know what is taboo, I just want to know why!" Ji Heqing interrupted Ji Hanguang's lecture.
"Why is it so important?" Ji Hanguang's voice was still calm.
"Is it that important? Heh, human life is at stake. You asked me about it..." Ji Heqing covered his hands with his sleeves and said expressionlessly, "When I was young, it was you who told me that I should not imitate the world, but should stay true to death and be independent. You told me to keep the right way in the world! Isn’t what we are talking about now the right way?!”
Ji Hanguang shook his head again: "He Qing, people's eyes are not only downward, but also upward. Being in a high position, the righteous way is not as simple as you think."
Clang——
Ji Heqing held the sword in both hands, and with a little force, he pulled out half of the bronze sword from its sheath.He put the blades together, and the sword was facing Ji Hanguang and himself, with a calm voice: "Then you say, how complicated can it be? Like this sword, it just goes straight. The blade never bends. The blood on the sword. Complicated things are not righteous, but your heart, father?"
Ji Hanguang was silent.
Ji Heqing put his sword back into its sheath, and gripped the tiger's mouth: "You have always been in my heart a great hero who will not bow to any injustice, a great Qingliu, who is strict with his relatives and bows to all people. But now? High position, high position! How did you become what you are now?!"
He looked at Ji Hanguang with reddened eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "I think you understand me best!"
"Son, understanding and choice are different after all. There are too many things to consider in choosing..." Ji Hanguang Gujing stood silently in place, and sighed for a long while.
"I don't understand what else to consider." Ji Heqing stepped forward in three steps, slapped his palm on the case, and said angrily, "Truth is dead, but people are alive. Are we going to do this?" Continue to think about it, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and watch them cry blood and cry indifferently? Those who died for us, what guilt?!"
The emerald paperweight was immediately shattered, and the debris flew between the two of them.It's like the gap between Yin and Han.
Ji Hanguang didn't answer right away, he turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sign behind the case.Looking at the huge "righteousness" on the white paper, he lowered his voice and said, "Before you were young, there are some things that I didn't teach you well."
He paused, and then continued: "This man, if he sees things broadly, he needs ignorance. Because sometimes, ignorance is the rule and the king's law."
"Ignorance is the rule and the king's law? It's really—" Ji Heqing clenched his fists and sneered, "It's a big joke in the world!"
"If that's the case, what kind of rules and laws are these rules that whitewash the peace, this king's law that persecutes the people?"
"Let me tell you, ignorance will never become a rule and a king's law. It is just an excuse for the dull and cowardly to dare not face the truth!"
Ji Hanguang fell silent again.
"Why don't you speak? Is it because you feel ashamed and have nothing to say?" Ji Heqing asked indifferently.
"What do you think they are innocent?" Ji Hanguang looked at that "righteousness" quietly, looked at that pure, heavy, sharp-edged "righteousness", and closed his eyes after a while, "Okay, I will tell you today. "
"For this world, we are the ones who manage the chess, but we are not the ones who want to be independent on the chessboard—" Ji Hanguang paused, opened his eyes, and turned around slowly.
His voice was blunt and powerful: "This is Gu."
When the voice fell, Ji Hanguang's eyes seemed to close the dusk of the sky and the earth, and instantly became extremely tall and distant, so far away that he seemed to be a real person in the temple.
He didn't hold a sword like Ji Heqing, but he was more like a person holding a sword: "If our life must be paid for by their death, no matter whether they are wise or not, whether they cry or laugh, their life is a sin." There is no pardon!"
For a moment, the air became extremely heavy.It was so heavy that it seemed as if the eyes of all the saints in the temple were on this narrow living room, and it was so heavy that it was difficult to move even an inch.
The veins in Ji Heqing's hands were bulging, he staggered back three steps, and laughed miserably: "Everyone in the world thinks that you, Ji Hanguang, who went to the frontier to play for the people, are a real gentleman."
"So hahahaha, so, come, you, also, yes, the same, ah." He smiled, but it was uglier than crying.
After laughing, he straightened up a little bit, and said with a cold face: "Everyone is innocent, if you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse?"
He stretched out an arm, and said with a sarcasm: "You see, this world is really like a dark underworld where evil spirits run rampant and cannot see the light. Everyone is sleeping for the underworld, and who is waking up for them?"
Ji Heqing took a deep breath and looked at Ji Hanguang: "Father, some people live by eating and drinking, and some people live by a single bone. Some people can bend their heads countless times for eating and drinking, but for others For a person, bowing his head is killing him!"
"Rotten roots won't stop emitting rot just because the passers-by are blind. What's the use of living in a stupor?" Ji Heqing paused, "Since no one will replace them Wake up, I'm coming!"
Having said that, he waved his sleeves and immediately walked out of the study.
Ji Hanguang remained silent and did not stop him. When Ji Heqing walked to the door, he finally spoke:
"Heqing, the world is vast, and everything is different. Choosing is giving up, gaining is losing, and maintaining is hurting. One end of the steelyard is us, and the other end of the steelyard is them. It is also for survival, you increase The weight of either side will lead to the extinction of the other side. You need to know this.”
"I will make the two parties balance, rather than either party to survive. This is the right path I pursue." Ji Heqing just said.
"Even if you're the only one on this road?"
"Death without regrets!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Ji Hanguang slapped the table, and the city mansion like a clay statue was finally completely broken. He looked at Ji Heqing's decisive back and shouted, "Today, if you dare to walk out of this door, as Ji's family Patriarch, I will remove you from the genealogy! As the chief minister of the underworld, I will issue an arrest warrant for you! From now on, you don’t have to be Cao Shizi!"
"It's up to you. You don't need to sit in the seat where you are full and sleepy all day long!" Ji Heqing didn't turn his head.
He walked to the door and pushed open the closed door.The extremely gorgeous light from the hanging rails of the sky shone into this study, which was called a shabby room in the underworld, and reflected the black and white hanging words behind the case in mottled colors.
A sigh sounded from behind him.
Ji Heqing still didn't turn his head back, but behind what he couldn't see, Ji Hanguang bent his shoulders and bowed his head after all: "This is my confession to the underworld."
"As your father, I hope you can go on. If one day, you regret it, come back."
"My son, it will never be a shame. Father, there will always be a place for you."
Ji Heqing closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and stepped out of the threshold.
The author has something to say: Note:
① Cold Food Festival: also known as "No Smoking Festival"
②The core viewpoint of anthropocentrism:
In the value relationship between man and nature, only conscious human beings are the subject, and nature is the object.The scale of value evaluation must be grasped and always in the hands of human beings. Whenever we talk about "value", we mean "meaning to people".
In the ethical relationship between man and nature, the idea that man is the purpose should be implemented.
All human activities are to meet the needs of their own survival and development, and activities that cannot achieve this purpose are meaningless, so everything should be based on the interests of human beings.
