Chapter 116
What is the way for all living beings to walk? (Additional update 4 for reward)
Seeing King Ming appear, Song Hanhai's eyes almost popped out of his head.
He looked at Song Lanyi and couldn't help but ask, "Daughter, what's going on?"
Song Lanyi took out various elixirs and stuffed them into Song Hanhai's mouth as if they were free of charge. At the same time, she was busy answering his questions.
From being invited by the Poetry Society to summoning Wang Bo, he won the first place.
She came one by one, but Song Hanhai's face went from being proud at the beginning to getting darker and darker at the end.
Song Lanyi never thinks so much in front of her father.
She also doesn't know how to figure out Song Hanhai's thoughts.
Instead, he asked directly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
His face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
Song Hanhai looked at this leaky little cotton-padded jacket, his lips moved, but he still didn't dare to say anything harsh.
He looked at Song Lanyi with a look of tears on his face, "Daughter, you mean, from the time you met me, that group of people saw the whole process?"
Song Lanyi understood instantly.
The author said that if a grown man is seen crying, he will lose face.
She raised a bright smile and threw herself into Song Hanhai's arms, "Dad, I like you like this. Daddy is the best, daddy, I love you, I love you!"
Song Hanhai's first reaction was to hug Song Lanyi.
As for the second reaction... he bared his teeth and was as happy as a fool.
What happened to being seen?
Didn't you hear his daughter say she liked him the most?
After King Ming finished dealing with the Night Traveler, he couldn't help but feel a toothache when he saw the heartwarming scene of the father and daughter embracing each other.
The father and daughter had not seen each other for only a few months, but it felt as if they had reunited after hundreds of years.
Is this necessary?
King Ming would never admit it, he was jealous.
He coughed twice and said, "Song Hanhai, come here and I'll talk to you."
Song Hanhai was a little reluctant, but at least he could distinguish between big and small matters and their priorities.
He followed King Ming to the side.
Song Lanyi looked at the people around her, cleaning up the corpses, and her curiosity finally outweighed her caution.
She stepped forward and cautiously opened the white robe wrapped around one of the corpses.
The white robe was like tanned lamb leather, but it carried a familiar yet unfamiliar fishy smell.
When she saw the hood of the "sheepskin robe", Song Lanyi's expression suddenly changed, her hands couldn't help but loosen, and the robe fell from her hands.
Above the hood were striking faces with no eyeballs and empty eyes, shouting.
There was obviously no sound, but when staring at this face, Song Lanyi still felt enveloped in despair, as if she could deeply resonate with the experiences of those victims.
A girl next to me came over.
Her skin color is slightly dark, and her eyes are slightly large, showing a golden color like honey.
The girl's childish voice had a special texture, "Sister, are you scared?"
It's not scary to say that, as a pharmacist, when healing a wound, he can even put the intestines pulled out of the stomach back into it.
The sight of a piece of human skin peeled off in front of him did not make Song Lanyi change his color in shock.
What really shocked her... was the emotion attached to this man's skin.
She could not imagine what kind of cruel experiences the owners of these human skins suffered during their lifetimes, so that they could still feel the overwhelming resentment on their human skins after death.
The little girl glanced at Song Lanyi and said calmly, "This is a divine robe. It is the fastest way to transform from a mortal into a god and possess extraordinary power."
In fact, not only Song Lanyi, but also these military centurions from Shuobei had actual close contact with this so-called "god robe" for the first time.
When they heard this, they couldn't help but burst out in anger, "Isn't the world's road enough for them? There are so many roads leading to the extraordinary, why do the people here...don't even have the strength to fight back..."
"Why?" The girl's dark eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.
She opened the corpse under the divine robe, looked at the man who looked like a fat pig, and said coldly, "His name is Qian Tongbao, and he is the county magistrate here."
After saying that, she walked towards the next corpse and opened the divine robe, "This man's name is Qian Youcai. He is Qian Tongbao's cousin, and he is currently a government official here."
"This man's name is Qian Zhili. He is the patriarch of the Qian family. The Qian family is a powerful family in this place."
"And this, this, this..."
After the identities of all the corpses were clearly stated, the girl looked at everyone with her dark eyes that made people feel terrified.
Her tone was very calm, "Now, do you know why?"
"There are many great ways in the world, but what we lack is the Tao? No, it is a guide, a teacher, a book, and a way to get started."
"Studying Confucianism, Taoism, medicine, etc. all requires scriptures and books, but except for those who are born with knowledge, who can know the Chinese characters from the beginning?"
"But without teachers, without channels, without money, how can we access the path to the upper level and open the extraordinary door?"
"Those who lose their reputation are losers. But for us, those who can study are winners."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Some people just feel an unspeakable sense of suffocation.
It is the pain of a weak person being a lamb when fate holds his throat.
Some people couldn't help but ask, "What about practicing martial arts? Just practicing martial arts?"
The girl sneered, "The southern border is not as good as Shuobei. There are monsters and barbarians in Shuobei. As long as poor people have the courage, they can still use the corpses of monsters and barbarians to cleanse their bodies and enter a higher realm."
"But what about in the southern border? There are unknown herbs, dormant monsters and even an environment where martial arts books are monopolized. How do you want us to climb up and how can we have the ability to resist?"
"For Qian Tongbao, they have many paths, but they have to choose the shortcut. For us, we have no choice. Even...a thorny road full of ups and downs and blood."
This world has never been fair.
Just like an actor on a stage, a script is assigned to him from birth.
Those who use their mace to sell their horses use their mace to sell their horses, and those who beat the drum to scold Cao Cao beat the drum to scold Cao.
The red-faced one is Guan Gong, and the white-faced one is Cao Cao. Some people are born to be nobles, princes, and ministers. Some people have to struggle in the world of mortals and play their role as a pawn in the ordinary day-to-day life.
But beyond that, there are more, hidden in the darkness, under the stage, hard to be discovered... countless living beings who are not even qualified to be on the stage.
The girl looked at them and sighed slightly, "Life is like a sea of suffering. Love, hate, anger, and ignorance are all vain and unbearable. Only the other side is the only salvation."
When Song Lanyi heard these words, he was a little confused, like a Buddhist verse.
The girl seemed to have heard Song Lanyi's doubts and smiled slightly, "My name is Fandu. When you come to the Western Buddhist Kingdom someday, you can give me my name."
I’ve finished writing the reward plus update. I’m so sleepy. See you tomorrow.
