He didn't tell me I didn't think so, but when he said it, I felt it...I seem to have really grown a lot taller. I used to be only as tall as his waist, but now I have surpassed his ribs.. ....

"Am I growing too fast?" I asked him, because the average human doesn't seem to grow that fast.

He looked at me seriously, as if he was also thinking about this question, "A Li, do you know how old you are this year?"

"I don't know." In my earliest memory, I was probably a little girl of five or six years old, but I judged based on my height and appearance at the time, but I don't remember the exact age.

"Then do you remember anything about your parents?" he asked again.

I still shook my head.

Yuan Laiguang: "So your age is not necessarily what you look like on the outside. Your height growth should also be due to the increase in demon power, and it has nothing to do with time. This is a good thing, which means that you have become stronger. Wait for your body and When the demon body is completely unified, you should be able to fully control your demon power."

"Yeah." I nodded in relief, hoping that day would come soon.

After saying these few words, I realized that Minamoto Raimitsu brought me to the ancestral temple dedicated to Minamoto's ancestors?

The Genji family belonged to the royal family, so the ancestral temple here is naturally a royal temple, and outsiders are usually not allowed to enter, and the temple gates are only opened during annual sacrifices.

At this moment, the magnificent temple door was opened, and many ragged civilians walked in cautiously and apprehensively, as if they were afraid of accidentally offending the ancestors of the royal family enshrined inside.

Minamoto Raimitsu led me in, only to find that there were three large cauldrons inside, with raging flames burning at the bottom, and boiling hot porridge inside the cauldron.The aroma of food diffuses wantonly in the cold winter, bringing hope to those who are suffering from hunger and cold.

I saw them line up one by one, holding old and incomplete bowls, waiting for the guards standing next to the tripod to give them food. Everyone who got the hot porridge kept bowing and thanking them, and even kowtowed Kneel down and be grateful.

The person who received the porridge did not leave, but stayed at the ancestral temple.

This ancestral temple is magnificent. In addition to Genji's ancestors, there are also more than ten statues of Bodhisattvas.There are many houses here, usually empty, only the servants clean them every day.

Now the doors of these rooms are open, and those who receive the porridge are guided by the servants and arranged to rest in the room one by one.

They were given food and shelter from the wind and snow.

Although it is only temporary, it is conceivable that because of such kindness, these people will be saved from the fate of freezing and starving to death in the cold and snowy night.

"Are these all arranged by you?" I looked at Minamoto Raimiko with strange eyes.That's not at all what I thought he would do.

Minamoto Raimiko nodded, "This ancestral temple is also empty. It's better to let these common people live in and live a few more people. It can be regarded as accumulating merit for the ancestors of Genji."

"However, in the eyes of the nobles, what you do is considered deviant?" I still find it a bit unbelievable.

In the eyes of the nobles and adults, these commoners are just ordinary people, humble existence like ants. Minamoto Yorimitsu actually let these untouchables go to Minamoto’s ancestral temple to escape the cold. shame!

Minamoto Larimitsu didn't care, "I can do what I want, and I don't care what they think?"

"But why do you want to do this?" I still can't figure it out.

Minamoto Raimitsu: "Because I don't like to see people freezing to death on the street. That will affect my mood of enjoying the snow."

Well, the reasoning is... good and strong.

"Does Ah Li feel now that I'm actually not that bad?"

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a good deed. There are so many nobles in Heianjing, but you are the only one who is willing to give these commoners porridge, and you are the only one who is willing to give them shelter from the cold. No matter what your original intention is, this The outcome of everything is good. Master Minamoto Raimitsu...you really are not a mortal, I feel that I can't understand you more and more. It's like, I have never known the real you. "

"A Li, in fact, you also want to do such a thing, right? Your heart is soft and kind. When you see people dying of cold and hunger on the side of the road, you will instinctively want to help them and save them, right?" Yuan Laiguang said Said, while leading me into the main hall, there are hundreds of tablets enshrined, all of which are the ancestors of Genji. There are monks kneeling on both sides of the main hall, chanting scriptures day and night.

Minamoto Raimiko waved his hand, and the monks retreated one by one.

In the empty and solemn main hall, he and I were the only two people left, and when we spoke, there was echoing back and forth.

I said, "I really want to save them, but I can't do it, so I can only pretend that I didn't see it." To save them, you need money, food, power, and power... .

And I, apart from having the power of fire that I can't fully control, have nothing.

"Then have you ever thought that the things I brought you to see today are deliberately made for you to win your favor?" He put on that wicked expression of intentionally teasing me again, What should I do if I was suddenly freed from my depressed mood and really wanted to punch him?

But I can't let him succeed, I ignored his teasing, and deliberately put on a very 'calm and mature' expression, "It doesn't matter even if it is. Anyway, you are so bad, I will not be surprised if you do something bad. As long as the result is true It’s good to help those civilians.”

"Then if I really do good deeds to deceive you, in your eyes, am I doing good deeds or doing evil?"

His deep and magnetic voice echoed in the main hall, and the lingering sound seemed to be asking my soul, whether to do good or evil?Do you look at the original intention or the result?

I couldn't answer for a while, so he continued to ask questions.

"If there is a person who originally intended to harm someone, but turned out to be self-defeating and saved the other person instead, should this person go to hell after death, or to be reborn in bliss?"

I:"......"

"If there is a person whose original intention is to save people, but due to inadvertent mistakes, thousands of people die. After death, should this person go to hell or go to bliss?"

I:"......"

Seeing my bewildered expression, he chuckled lightly, picked up three sticks of incense, lit them, and handed them over to me as he spoke.

He said to me, "A Li, go and offer incense to the ancestors of Genji, and I will tell you the answer later."

I was still immersed in his questions about karma, good and evil. For a while, I didn't even understand why he asked me to offer incense to Genji's ancestors, so I inserted/put the incense and finished the ceremony.... ..

He has been standing silently behind me, until I stood up again, he said, "You can't distinguish between good and evil because of cause and effect, because the words 'good and evil because of cause and effect' are wrong in themselves!"

"Wrong?" I widened my eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

He raised his lips and chuckled, looked up at the lofty ancestral tablets, and said to me loudly, "Of course it is wrong! In this world, there is no cause and effect, good or evil, and there is no right and wrong. Wrong! Black and white, light and darkness, good and evil, in fact, they are one, and people with ulterior motives forcibly separate them to deceive the world and confuse the public! The moral concept of good and evil, right and wrong, is just a unified The shackles that the rulers use to restrain the world, pity those stupid people, and still seal the shackles as a standard, it is simply stupid and incurable!"

I was shocked by his words for a long time.My mind is in a mess and I don't know what to say.

In fact, I was sold to Liren Pavilion when I was very young. Before I awakened my demon power, I really thought I was just an ordinary kabuki. No one taught me to read and reason, and no one taught me right from wrong, good from evil.

The only thing they taught me is to be obedient, and only obedient people will have food.

The only skill they have taught me is singing and dancing. If you sing and dance well, nobles will like it...

All the truths I know are actually my own hearsay.Now that I think about it carefully, in fact, those hearsay truths may not necessarily be correct, just like Minamoto Raimiko said at the moment, they may not be correct either.

I thought about it, and asked him tentatively, "If cause and effect, good and evil are wrong, then back to your question just now, don't you need to care about whether it is good thoughts and evil results, or evil thoughts and good results?"

"Yes! Ah Li is really smart!" He laughed and looked at me with the eyes of a confidant. It felt strange, but I felt that, at least for this moment, he no longer regarded me as a child.

He said, "I have always acted without regard to good and evil, and regardless of cause and effect. What I want to do, I will do it! Why should I care about the cause and the result? How many people benefit from it, and how many people suffer from it... .Why should I care? I don’t like this world, so I have to change it, I don’t like some people, I have to get rid of it, I don’t like certain rules, I have to break them! As for the process, the result How, you have to do it to know. If you are bound by the good and evil of the world, then you can’t do anything? What’s the point of life whether it is long or short? What’s the difference between living and dying?”

He spoke with gusto, and I understood exactly what he meant.

So I followed his words and said, "So, if you want to save these civilians, order someone to open the gate of the ancestral temple and let them come here to eat porridge to escape the cold, without caring what His Majesty and other nobles think."

Minamoto turned around, looked outside the main hall, and there were more and more civilians who had heard the news and came to eat, and nodded slightly, "Yes. If you still have to worry about their opinions, ask for instructions back and forth, this matter Even if it is done in the end, these people will all be dead."

That's true, but what if His Majesty blames him, or other nobles use this to attack him?

I only put these words in my heart, but he looked at me and showed a gentle and wicked smile, "It seems that Ah Li was really moved by my 'good deeds', and now he will worry about me .”

Me: "..." What if I hit this guy!
