He Mao Baoxian, who had been sitting upright on the ground beside the old god, turned his head, still with the same expressionless expression: "One is for children, pity; the other is for apprentices, respect."

He Maozhongxing nodded slightly: "That's right." Then he turned his head and asked Abe Qingming, "Qingming, do you know why you feel pity? And why respect?"

Abe Seimei was taken aback.

Before He Maozhongxing asked the question today, he had never thought carefully about the various meanings in an old man's 'let', so he had never thought about where the old man's pity and respect came from.

Others let you, why?

What kind of meaning is contained in a small movement that may not even be noticed by the person involved?

Could it be that he spent several times of time afterwards and couldn't figure out the movement of passing by?

Ever since he came to Yinyangliao, he has seen and heard everything he has never seen, but Abe Seimei did not expect that one day he would think hard to figure out a movement of an old man who had almost no sense of existence.

Questions kept popping up in his mind, and there were so many that Abe Seimei was in a hurry, unable to judge which one should be solved.

But when a teacher asks a question, even if the answer is not satisfactory, or even a thousand miles away, he must answer with a straight body. This is the most basic respect.

Because I was afraid of being blamed, I didn't try it, and I refused to say it out loud. How could I know where I was and in which direction I should work hard?

There was still hesitation in Abe Seimei's eyes: "The disciple thought... pity is because the disciple is a child, young and weak, so let... respect... the respect is because the disciple is an onmyoji apprentice, due to his status..."

The further you go to the back, the less confidence you have, but the voice has never been weak, clear and clear.

Reporting uncertain answers, the process of waiting for an answer is as slow as a death sentence.

"Half and half." He Maozhong replied.

Abe Seimei breathed a sigh of relief, and the verdict was announced with a reprieve.

"The old man let you, one is because you are a young person, he is an elder, out of love for children; the other is because you are an apprentice of an onmyoji, and you will become an onmyoji who will help the world in the future, out of ordinary Man's respect for the capable."

Isn't that the same as what he said?Abe Seimei blinked.

After explaining, He Mao Zhongxing continued: "But Seimei, he let you because you are a child and a future onmyoji, but not because of Abe Seimei."

Isn't he the child and the onmyoji apprentice?Abe Seimei didn't react for a moment.

"If you're not a child, and you're not an onmyoji apprentice, then why should he, who is burdened with a heavy bucket, let you go first?"

Abe Seimei was stunned.

He never thought about this if, but it was true when he thought about it carefully.

The old man let him out of reason, and it was not unreasonable not to let him go.

He seemed... to take everything for granted.

Seeing Abe Seimei's thoughtful expression, He Mao Zhongyuki was quite satisfied.

Whether a student is excellent, learning ability, and adapting to changing circumstances are naturally very important, but being able to gain insights and think from the words conveyed by the teacher, and then be able to form one's own thoughts, is the most difficult standard to achieve.

Waiting for Abe Seimei to think for a while, Kamo Tadakayuki said again: "Looking at the old man's life, it is really sad, and it is normal to feel pity in his heart. However, although he is old and weak, he still uses his own hands to stand uprightly. Life is more worthy of respect than many people who are proud and complacent despite their position."

"Qingming, did you let him because of pity or respect? Or both?"

In fact, the answer to this question already appeared at the beginning when Tadashi Kamo asked Abe Seimei why he wanted to let the old man go. At this moment, Tadayuki Kamo pointed it out again, just to open Abe Seimei's thinking.

Abe Seimei lowered his head deeply, he knew Ka Mo Tadyuki's intentions, and he didn't answer anything, but his originally chaotic heart gradually became clear.

Because the old man was old and burdened, he let it go.It seems that he treats people with courtesy, but he is actually in a high position.

At such an age, he still has to work hard to get by, compared to his young onmyoji apprentice who has a bright future.

And it happened that he was not in a hurry, and had enough time to show his compassion for those who were not as good as himself, so with such compassion, he gave in.

But what right did he have to pity the old man?

If he is not an onmyoji apprentice, but still the "son of the white fox" in that village, how miserable will his future be?I'm afraid it's not much better than the old man.

The old man's respect for him is based on the fact that he is a disciple of He Mao Zhongxing, an onmyoji who will help the world in the future, but he is not yet.

Compared with him who has no substantial ability now, the old man who can support himself by his own strength is more worthy of respect.

Abe Seimei's eyes gradually became firmer, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"My disciples think that strength, longevity, and immortality are all for transcending the heaven and earth, while onmyoji seek the heaven and earth in order to become human."

The voice was childish but the words were sonorous and forceful, and He Maozhong Xing smiled at the corners of his eyes.

He Maozhongxing looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his laughter was like a Hong Zhong: "Wonderful! We are not to become immortals who entered the world, but to become mortals who were born."

"The deeper the practice, the more you have to remember where you came from. It is not so rare for everyone to admire and worship the immortal. When the cultivation level has reached the state of perfection, you can keep a mortal heart, and you are still willing to sacrifice for every flower and grass in the world. It’s rare to feel something.”

He Maozhongxing's eyes became sharper, and he asked again: "So Qingming, what do you think of the word 'Yin Yang'?"

Abe Seimei has some insights at this moment, and the effect will be better if he strikes while the iron is hot.

Abe Seimei didn't think about how difficult it is to explain this question. At this moment, when he was enlightened, his whole body trembled, and even his teeth were fighting with excitement, and he answered without thinking: "The old man's life has been full of twists and turns. Live by yourself, for blessing, for yang."

"That's right, everything in the world is dependent on good and bad, and yin and yang are born together. A sack of food, a bean soup, and a ladle of drink, there is a way in it." He Maozhongxing praised.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at every young face.

These children are all wearing white hunting clothes at the moment, sitting here, guided and shaped by him.They are still very young and have unlimited futures, and because of this, the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier.

They will become Onmyoji, become the future, become hope.

The future is in their hands.

"You all remember, my onmyoji is for the lamplighter."

"Understand the five elements, calculate the secrets of heaven, know honor and disgrace, ask the universe, and slay evil spirits. Everything you learn is turned into lamp oil, with the body as the wick and the Tao as the candle."

"We have to see farther than everyone else. Only in this way can we find a better way to guide others."

"If there is no light, there is no road."

"You guys, do you dare to take on this moral responsibility?"

"promise!"

The cries of the brothers agreeing that day are still ringing in my ears, it has not been diluted by the long time at all, it is still so angry that it resounds through the sky.

The bean lamp on the table trembled suddenly, and the bright flame dimmed a bit, and a demonic aura suddenly became stronger in the study.

A faint phantom gradually took shape in a corner of the trembling flame-shrouded study room. It took only two or three breaths from illusion to solidification, and a human form was revealed.

If it weren't for the fact that the human figure's body was still a little transparent, you could see the bookshelf behind him, just like a real person.

The lights seemed to be afraid of the human figure that appeared suddenly, and kept trembling, the flames flickered on and off.

If someone looked in from the window at this moment, they would be shocked, because the human figure had the same face and body shape as Abe Seimei, and even the clothes were the same.

Taking a closer look, the facial features of the two are exactly the same in detail, and there is no difference in the corners of the eyebrows and eyes.

It's just like-

Like mirror twins!

And Abe Seimei always maintained a posture of concentration, as if he knew nothing.

The figure couldn't help but speak first: "Hey, don't pretend you don't know, I know you can perceive it."

Even the tone of voice is exactly the same.

Abe Seimei closed his eyes and did not answer.

He knew it from the moment the human figure appeared, but he didn't stop it.

Since he left Xintai Forest, that human figure has been with him like a shadow. He has read all the ancient books, but he can't get rid of it.

And in the past four years, it has also changed from being hazy like light smoke at the beginning to the illusory but clear human form it is now, and the number of appearances has also increased accordingly.

In the beginning, Abe Seimei tried his best to eliminate it, but no matter how many times he broke it, it still appeared.

Abe Seimei had no choice but to classify it as something like a phantom of the heart demon. Anyway, it couldn't exist independently without him, and it just stayed by his side to watch, and it didn't get in the way.

Simply leave it alone.

Seeing that Abe Seimei didn't respond, the doll also closed his eyes, and after a while, opened them again.

This time, there was a bit of sarcasm in its eyes.

It saw the promise Abe Seimei made to Ka Mo Tadayuki that day.

"Ridiculous." It commented with a sneer.

"What lamplighter? Burn yourself to save others? Haha, how noble!"

The figure laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the quiet study room, and the Yin Qi gradually became stronger.

"It's just a stupid sacrifice. No, no, no, this is far from the height of sacrifice, what should I say?" The human figure stopped laughing, showing a thoughtful look, and after thinking hard for a long time, it seemed that inspiration came, with both hands one together.

"It should be said that it is meaningless to die!"

"It's understandable for those onmyojis to think so. Anyway, their lives are worthless, but why would you think so?"

The figure raised his eyebrows: "You know better than anyone else, don't you? Standing on the sidelines, avoiding it, not caring about anything in order to protect yourself...I thought you had seen enough of those human ugliness."

"Or have you been praised to the sky these years? Really naive to think that they respect you?"

"Don't be stupid, the weak will survive and the fittest will survive. Three-year-olds know this truth."

"They bow down to you just because you have extraordinary power, and because you are the emperor's favorite. As long as you have these, even a moth with a fat brain can get the same treatment."

Every word that the figure said to Abe Seimei clearly echoed in Abe Seimei's ears, lingering.

Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, but Abe Seimei still calmly controlled the spiritual power in his body to flow through the meridians.

"What's the use of saving them? Who will remember how much you paid? I'm afraid they will blame you again, why can't they give more!"

The figure sneered, eyes full of sarcasm.

"The weak will only cling to the strong and have no right to survive!"

"You are strong, but there is only one Abe Seimei in the world, and there are thousands of weak people!"

"Can you save it? I'm afraid you will be dragged down by them first!"

The more the dolls spoke, the more sinister atmosphere in the room became, and each sentence became more bitter and harsh, and the coldness was compelling.

While talking, the figure suddenly suppressed the evil energy all over his body, squinted his fox eyes, and smiled slightly: "That's what you are - noble, but Abe Seimei, if you save the world, who will save you?"

You cross the world, who will cross you?

As soon as this remark came out, Abe Seimei's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened, and his blue eyes looked at the figure who was smiling wantonly.

With a flick of the fingers, a ray of spiritual power flew out, directly attacking the human form!

The doll was still smiling and didn't move, as if he didn't feel the power of Abe Seimei's blow at all.

This ray of spiritual power did not have enough momentum, but it was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, breaking up the humanoid body in an instant.

The spiritual power passed through the human figure as if there was nothing, and continued to advance straight, breaking the vase behind the human figure.

The evil spirit in the house dissipated with the disappearance of the human figure, and the bean lamp also returned to calm, emitting a warm light safely.

Only the human figure's last sneer remained.

The author has something to say: The Kyoto chapter ends!

Hei Qingming came out.
