After hearing the news, Zhu Lingyu became refreshed and couldn't sleep.But after all, he was lucky enough to run around Wuzhou City in the middle of the night, exhausting a lot of physical and spiritual energy. After finding Joe, there will inevitably be another fierce battle. If the spiritual and physical strength cannot keep up by then, let alone save Joe It's not bad, it's not bad if you don't put yourself on it, so he closed his eyes obediently, and tried his best to recover as much physical strength as possible in this short period of time.

After dawn, the two went to say hello to Qiao Sheng first.Qiao Sheng had practiced for several years. Hearing that they were going to Fomu Mountain again today, he knew in his heart that they must have found something different here and had to deal with it, so he didn't ask any further questions, and just let the two of them use it earlier. go again.Qiao Sheng knew that it was inconvenient for them to easily reveal their identities in front of the people, so he specially ordered someone to prepare horses so that they could go on their way.

It was still very early when we arrived at Fomu Mountain, and the little cuckoo saw the figures of the two from a distance on the elm tree, and flew over with flapping emerald green wings, landing on Qi Zuo's shoulder.Seeing such a lively little cuckoo again, Zhu Lingyu felt panicked.

"Why did Brother Xian come back so soon? Is there any news?" Little Du Juan asked.

Qi Zuo said: "Not yet, but we came here for this matter. Do you know who Yu Yu knows?"

"people?"

"Yes, we speculate that the person who took away Joe should be someone Yu knew, or it might be an evil cultivator or an evil spirit. In short, do you know who she knows?"

"I know everyone... There are no evil cultivators and evil spirits. As for other things, Sister Yu has not transformed into a spirit body before, and has never left her body, except for Sister Qiao and me and some other creatures on the mountain. , nothing else."

"Among these creatures, are there any who often go down the mountain to the city of Wuzhou, and haven't come back for a long time recently?"

"We all know that there will be evil cultivators hiding among human beings. Unless they are very high-level, they will not dare to go out of the mountains to places with many people. How can there be?"

"Could it be that I guessed wrong..." Qi Zuo couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Lingyu said: "Brother's reasoning is very reasonable, and it should not be wrong. Is it possible that it is not someone Yu knows, but someone she is very familiar with? By the way, the waiter at the inn didn't mean that the two elm trees Is it regarded as a sacred tree by the local people, and they have to go up the mountain to worship it every year and festival? Could it be someone who often comes to worship?"

Qi Zuo was awakened by his words, and the little Dujuan also began to recall in his memory whether there was such a person who came here to worship so often that Yu could remember and recognize him at a glance, but he came here every day when he went up the mountain. There are too many people here, and she can't think of such a person even if she racks her brains.

"Don't worry, think slowly." Qi Zuo said, while continuing to reason along the train of thought just now, while guiding the little Dujuan to recall, "Since he is an ordinary person, and he often goes up to the mountain to worship, it means that he was originally right. The sacred tree is very revered. Such a person suddenly desperately seeks a tree spirit that he originally believed in. It must be because of some accidents in the family, and he must have done it as a last resort. Then he must have tried many times before making this difficult decision. I came here to pray for blessings, so I left a very deep impression on Yu. Think about it carefully, is there such a person?"

Little Du Juan tilted his head and thought carefully for a while following his words, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I see!"

Then they flapped their wings and flew towards the elm tree, and the two of them followed closely behind the tree. They saw the little cuckoo flying into the canopy of the tree. It pierced through the branches covered with red cloth strips.Qi Zuo stretched out his hand knowingly, and the little cuckoo landed on his index finger, and handed the red cloth strip to his hand.

"About a month ago, Sister Yu said that a woman came here to pray for blessings, saying that her child was seriously ill, and prayed for the sacred tree to bless her child through this disaster, and left this red cloth strip. Because of this The cloth strip is very special, with a small cloth pocket sewn at the end, which contains the child's beard and birth date, so it left a very deep impression on Sister Yu. After I heard Sister Yu said that the woman came back For many days, Sister Yu said that she felt very guilty, that she had no ability to help her, and that she was sorry for her faith."

"Then isn't she—"

Zhu Lingyu felt worthless for Yu and Qiao from the bottom of her heart, and blurted out that the woman was too ungrateful and ungrateful, and failed Yu's good intentions. When she looked up, she saw Qi Zuo looking at her solemnly and shook her head, so she had to be silent. Closed the conversation.

Qi Zuo silently opened the small cloth bag at the end of the red cloth strip, and as the little cuckoo said, he found a handful of child's hair and a piece of yellow paper with the birth date written on it.

"This is the person. With these things, we can locate the child," Qi Zuo looked at the little Dujuan and smiled, "We will find Joe soon."

Although Qi Zuo and Zhu Lingyu didn't tell Little Du Juan the whole truth, she had already guessed from their dialogue and performance that the seeds of resentment were almost planted in her heart, but looking at Qi Zuo's face Telling himself with a smile that he would find Joe soon, Little Dujuan was stunned for a moment, and the emotions that were about to erupt suddenly calmed down for some reason.

She looked at Qi Zuo, blinked, and took a deep breath.

"I see, then I'll wait here for Sister Qiao's return, Brother Xian must be careful."

"Ah."

Qi Zuo nodded solemnly to her, and the little cuckoo flew back to the treetops, watching them leave silently.

Immediately after they came down from Fomu Mountain, the two used formations to locate the child with the birthday horoscope and hair found in the red cloth.Following the information on the formation, I came to a rather impressive private house. The word "Song House" was written on the plaque on the door.

"It's here." Qi Zuo said.

Zhu Lingyu looked at the plaque on the gate of the house silently, feeling inexplicably complicated: "I always feel like I have gone through untold hardships to find this place. In fact, it has only been one day since we arrived in Wuzhou City. I don't know. How is Joe now?"

"I think the woman probably heard about some sorcery and is using Joe to forcefully renew her child's life. I just didn't expect us to spend so much time coming from Xuanqing Mountain, and the last thing we have to deal with is not a demon Heretics, but ordinary people, always feel uncomfortable." Qi Zuo said with emotion.

"Spiritual Qi is opposite to resentment. Respiratory Qi is born in the world, but resentment begins in the human heart. In fact, the beginning of all evil is the human heart. I don't find it strange at all."

Qi Yu was stunned when he heard that, and almost doubted whether Zhu Lingyou said these words, and couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded: "When did we, Ah Yu, suddenly grow up, be able to say such profound words?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "It was the elder brother who told me."

Qi Zuo said: "Eldest brother, he is really... Then according to this statement, wouldn't there be only bad people in the world, and no good people at all?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "Of course not, Senior Brother, Master, and Uncle Qiao are all good people, aren't they?"

Qi Zuo said: "Ah, what do you think is the definition of a 'good man'?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "Of course it is only doing good things and not doing bad things."

Qi Zuo said: "What is a good thing and what is a bad thing?"

Zhu Lingyu said: "What can help people is a good thing, and what hurts people is a bad thing."

Qi Zuo said: "Then if you want to help one person, you have to hurt another person. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Zhu Lingyu thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Well... a bad thing, because he hurt others."

Qi Zuo asked again: "Then if one day Master was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and he had to sacrifice another person's life to save him, would you choose to save Master?"

Zhu Lingyu hesitated for a moment when he heard that, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he frowned and closed his mouth, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Qi Zuo lowered his body slightly, kept his eyes level with Zhu Lingyu, looked at him while supporting his shoulder, and said: "If you save, you will violate your original heart of cultivating Taoism; if you don't save, you will lose your closest relatives." In fact, the beginning of all evil is not human heart, but desire. Everyone has desires, it just depends on how people choose between desires and morality. This woman may not be a bad person. Maybe she often accumulates good deeds, but what she cares most about When the child had an accident, she had the desire to save the child. In the end, she chose the latter between hurting herself and others. In our opinion, she hurt Qiao and Yu, and also hurt Qiao Shi. Uncle and their group are bad people. But in her view, we who are going to rescue Joe today will also be the bad people who killed her child. There is never a clear dividing line between good and bad, and it is all for the individual. .The only standard that exists is the moral bottom line."

Zhu Lingyu thought for a long time in silence, then nodded with a sullen head like a child who has done something wrong.

Qi Zuo smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "I'm not blaming you, and I'm not saying that what the elder brother said is wrong, I'm just telling you how to look at things. In fact, what I said may not be true. That's right, these are just my own opinions and experiences, maybe in the future when Ayu grows up and has experienced many things, he will have better insights, and he can tell his brother at that time."

Zhu Lingyu looked at him, nodded with her lips pursed, and said, "Yeah."

Qi Zuo smiled gratifiedly, straightened up, and looked around the streets with people coming and going.

"There are too many people at the moment, and it's not convenient to do things. Let's sneak in after dark."

It was still early at this time, and the two of them thought that there would be a fierce battle tonight, so they wanted to go back to the inn to rest, and while looking for someone to ask for directions, they didn't forget to ask for news about the Song family.This inquiry not only learned the news that the grandson of the Song family master had recovered from a serious illness some time ago, confirmed their conjecture, but also thoroughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

The author says:

Don't think that Zhu Lingyu is ooc, he has just entered the Tao at this time, and he is still very young, which is a critical stage for personality shaping and three-view shaping.
