Chapter 211 The Big Change in Temperament Has Reasons
Gongwang. Wentao Siheyuan gives people a feeling of tranquility, elegance and tenderness, with a hint of simple and solemn artistic conception. When people come here, they will involuntarily calm down their restless hearts, as if all the worldly glitz has been washed away.
.
However, today, the courtyard is still:
The flowers planted in the pots and pots on the platform are already glowing with green; a few pomegranate trees in the courtyard quietly stretch out their branches and look at the visitors silently; in the gaps between the bluestone bricks, occasionally.
A few low and pitiful weeds actually emerged; the green bricks and dark tiles outlined a small sky above.
Things are still there, but there is a sense of desolation and depression, and there is no breath of life.
No matter what kind of people have lived here, when the people have left, nature will take back everything from people's lives. Xu Zhengyang thought, if this continues, when the spring and summer transitions, this courtyard will be
It must be overgrown with weeds and a desolate scene.
Pushing open the wooden door of the hall, Xu Zhengyang took Li Bingjie's hand and stepped in.
Li Chengzhong stayed in the courtyard, quietly looking at the familiar objects and unfamiliar environment in the courtyard with a solemn expression.
Inside the house, Xu Zhengyang walked up to the sofa. He gently rolled up the thin cloth covering the sofa and coffee table to prevent the dust that fell on it from stirring up and polluting the quiet and clean air in the house.
When Xu Zhengyang was doing this, Li Bingjie stood beside her. Probably because of missing her, she felt that her grandfather was still in this room. She was still sitting on the sofa, quietly holding up the purple clay pot, taking a sip of tea, and turning the
newspaper, looking at the actual news on it with a kind face.
But what Li Bingjie didn't know was that the old man, or to be precise, the old ghost was really sitting on the sofa next to him. Even when Xu Zhengyang rolled up the cloth, it didn't affect the old man's appearance of sitting there steadily.
He was also looking at his granddaughter, and as soon as Li Bingjie entered the room, he couldn't help but call out: "Girl.
Naturally, there is no response. People and ghosts have different paths.
Xu Zhengyang showed a humble smile to the old man. But the old man looked at Xu Zhengyang with a hint of request, or in other words, pleading? The old man didn't know that he was now a ghost, if it hadn't been for Xu Zhengyang's blessing.
A divine power gave him a certain authority, and he was unable to see Xu Zhengyang's true form clearly.
King Gui Cha Yong Yong looked at all this indifferently. Suddenly, Lord Chenglong's instructions came to him in his mind. Wang Yong Yong stood up and left the room through the wall.
Xu Zhengyang placed the rolled up cloth aside, took Li Bingjie's hand and said softly: "Bingjie, sit down."
"Um.
"Li Bingjie's eyes were a little red, and tears were shining in her eyes. She sat down gently, raised her charming and pitiful face, "Zhengyang
"I know." Xu Zhengyang sat next to him, patted Li Bingjie's hand and said, "Don't cry. People cannot be resurrected after death, but they are not dead. You want to see grandpa, don't you?"
"Yeah." Li Bingjie burst into tears.
Xu Zhengyang sighed and said softly: "See you, don't be sad, okay?"
Li Bingjie's starry eyes lit up, showing a hint of surprise, and said: "Is it okay?"
"This is indeed a bit difficult and goes against the will of heaven." Xu Zhengyang scratched his head and smiled: "But I talked it over with the boss, um, I reluctantly agree."
The old man felt more and more guilty and grateful.
The guilt is related to when I was a human being. I felt sorry for Xu Zhengyang and looked down on Xu Zhengyang. I am grateful that Xu Zhengyang is really a good boy, a person who values love and justice. In order to let Li Bingjie see the ghost of her grandfather, she is not afraid of violating the laws of heaven and going there.
A god makes a request.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's words suddenly came to the old man's mind: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked. Don't embarrass me too much."
The old man's heart trembled, knowing that Xu Zhengyang meant that there were some things he couldn't say to Li Bingjie after they met.
At this moment, Li Bingjie's surprised voice came: "Grandpa!"
The old man raised his head and saw his granddaughter's tearful eyes looking at him intently.
"Girl," the old man's mind was spinning. His face had already shown the same kind and gentle smile as when he was still alive. "Don't be too sad. Grandpa is doing very well now."
"You guys chat slowly, I'll go out first." Xu Zhengyang stood up with a smile and walked out.
In this kind of separation environment, Xu Zhengyang is not willing to stay any longer and disturb others. He will feel more and more guilty in his heart, right?
He really didn't care what the old man would say to Li Bingjie now, because he discovered that after letting the old man sit in front of the wall in Chenglong Mansion to think about his past these past few days, his inner concepts and thoughts were already the same as when he was still alive.
A big change. Well, of course, he is still confused...
Xu Zhengyang thought to himself, would it be that everyone in the world would have completely different views on their original thoughts and opinions only after death?
As the saying goes, you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won’t look back until you hit the wall.”
Probably so?
Stepping into the courtyard, Xu Zhengyang took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Chengzhong.
Li Chengzhong hesitated for a moment, then took it and lit it. He took a deep breath and looked at Xu Zhengyang who was lighting the cigarette and said, "The way you light your cigarette is different from others. It's very strange. Why do you press it with your index finger?"
"Huh?" Xu Zhengyang held the cigarette lit by the net in his mouth. He was startled for a moment, then played with the lighter twice with his fingers and said with a smile: "Personal habit."
"oh."
The two of them didn't seem to have anything in common. In addition, the old man had just passed away, so naturally he couldn't talk as casually as he used to when they were together, so they felt helpless and talked nonsense.
"Are your sister-in-law and children okay?"
"Um."
"I haven't seen you go back usually,"
Li Chengzhong was stunned for a moment and said: "I go back often."
"I admire you very much. There are not many people like you in this world now." Xu Zhengyang looked up at the blue sky above and said with emotion. These words came from the bottom of his heart, because in today's world.
There are very few people like Li Chengzhong in the world. He is deleted every day. His Chedudan Dharma principles are like those of ancient rich and powerful families who loyally guard their masters for generations without thinking too much.
"Zhengyang, I heard that you are good at martial arts." Li Chengzhong did not explain Xu Zhengyang's seemingly casual doubts and looked at Xu Zhengyang seriously.
Xu Zhengyang raised his face, squinted at the sky, breathed out smoke slightly, and said with a smile: "It's not bad."
"I've been feeling a bit nervous lately.
Not allowing Li Chengzhong to finish, Xu Zhengyang said: "After arriving in the capital, go to Chaojiang Bifa."
"He can't."
"So confident?" Xu Zhengyang looked at Li Chengzhong levelly, although he knew that Li Chengzhong must be a fierce man. But he had never seen anyone who was better than Chen Chaojiang in Li Chengzhong. Well, he was very fierce. Isn't Li Chengzhong a braggart?
"Although I know it has nothing to do with you, I, like them, are a little dissatisfied with you." Li Chengzhong's face turned grim.
Xu Zhengyang nodded, he understood.
So Xu Zhengyang turned around and walked into the corridor between the east room and the main room, leaving a message: "Come to the backyard, I will give you a chance."
These words are very arrogant and confident.
Li Chengzhong looked inside the room. He couldn't leave here because of responsibility.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Xu Zhengyang turned his head and said calmly.
Li Chengzhong hesitated for a moment and then walked into the corridor. He didn't know the reason himself, but in short, he chose to believe Xu Zhengyang's words. Well, it might be more appropriate to say trust.
It's about two minutes.
Xu Zhengyang walked out of the corridor with a relaxed expression and stood on the corridor in front of the hall, looking up at the cotton-like white clouds on the southern sky; then, Li Chengzhong frowned and thought, his expression a little depressed.
He walked over and stood next to Xu Zhengyang.
The fight is over, the winner has been decided.
For Xu Zhengyang, the result was inevitable; but for Li Chengzhong, it was shocking and unbelievable.
Anyone who is confident in his ability to stand at the top of the human world in terms of fighting would not be able to accept a guy who has no fighting skills at all and defeat him easily.
In martial arts fighting, to put it simply, it is nothing more than a duel that pursues explosive power, speed, and precision.
Reaching the peak in these three aspects is a strong person.
However, Li Chengzhong felt that Xu Zhengyang had broken away from this so-called peak and reached a state of perfection. How could it be possible with the limit of human physical strength? Li Chengzhong would not be arrogant and knew that he was the strongest person in fighting in the world, but he
You know, no matter how powerful the opponent is, in an unrestricted bare-handed fight, it is impossible to defeat him with defense without launching an attack at all.
If you hit it with your fist, you will be hit back; if you kick it with your foot, you will be kicked back; if you hit it with your body, you will be knocked back hard.
Don't hide or avoid, let you thunder and lightning, I will turn the clouds and rain.
Not convinced. Li Chengzhong roughly simulated it in his mind and came to a relatively accurate conclusion: without using any weapons and fighting with bare hands, he would need at least three fighting masters of the same level as him to defeat him.
Xu Zhengyang. The problem is that Xu Zhengyang has not received professional and rigorous training. If it is just a talent, then Chen Chaojiang's level can already be regarded as the strongest among the talents.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." Xu Zhengyang flicked the cigarette butt under the pomegranate tree, smiled and patted the shoulder of Li Chengzhong, who was half a head taller than him, and turned around and entered the living room.
On the platform in the corridor, Li Chengzhong was still thinking.
At this time, Li Chengzhong had no idea what a dangerous process he had gone through. If Xu Zhengyang had not suppressed the violence in his heart with a strong mentality, he might have died just now.
Yes, when Li Chengzhong suffered a setback, he indeed unleashed extraordinary fighting power and launched a reckless attack on Xu Zhengyang without any scruples. Although the result was still a complete defeat, his attack was ruthless and murderous.
At that moment, Xu Zhengyang felt an inexplicable urge to kill and then kill.
Xu Zhengyang felt that this feeling was very bad and dangerous.
As quickly as it came, it left as quickly as it came. That trace of violence quickly disappeared after the fight.
Xu Zhengyang, who entered the house, felt calm in his heart. When he saw the ghosts sitting on the sofa, one old and one young, he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart. Perhaps, it was also the unexplainable feeling in his heart.
His temperament prompted him to decide to severely punish the old man in Chenglong Mansion?
"Life and death are all determined by destiny. People and ghosts follow different paths, so they parted ways." Xu Zhengyang smiled, walked up and sat between Li Bingjie and Mr. Li.
Li Bingjie was stunned.
Lao Lu nodded and said gently: "Go. Don't worry about me anymore. Yin and Yang are separated. Go."
In fact, these words have been discussed just now, and after experiencing this conversation, Li Bingjie felt much relieved. If people really know that people do not die after death, and they can live a good life, they will naturally
Not so sad.
So Li Bingjie nodded, looked at Xu Zhengyang eagerly and said, "I know, you still have something to say, Zhengyang, promise me to take good care of grandpa, okay?"
"Well, don't worry." Xu Zhengyang nodded in response, but felt a little guilty in his heart.
"I'm leaving," Li Bingjie stood up and looked at her grandfather and Xu Zhengyang with some reluctance.
"Go, don't tell anyone." Xu Zhengyang waved his hand and said softly before the old man spoke.
"I know." Li Bingjie wanted to say something else, but finally didn't speak. She turned around and walked out as softly as a white cloud.
In the room, Xu Zhengyang sat on the sofa. He lit a cigarette, leaned forward slightly, looked at the old man, and said calmly: "Are you resentful or dissatisfied?"
"Nothing to talk about." The old man smiled bitterly.
"Have you figured it out?"
"How do you say that?" The old man leaned back and said helplessly like a normal person: "Man and ghost are separated by different roads, but gods and immortals should not interfere with human affairs in the first place. Either they are good at it or they are good at it."
,I intervened long ago, so why bother now?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded and said: "I don't know much about these things. Grandpa, I can't help you much. I just want to ask your opinion now. Are you willing to enter reincarnation and reincarnate, or join Chenglong Mansion and work part-time as a god?"
.
The old man was stunned.
This was a question that he had never thought of in any case.
After death, as a ghost, he could still work in the city's palace, and even work part-time as a god? Is this too outrageous?
There is no condition more powerful than this temptation,
However, his natural self-esteem made the old man hesitate, and he could not agree readily.
Xu Zhengyang was not in a hurry. He sighed softly and said: "I know what is going on in your heart. Do you feel humiliated these days? In fact," it's like when ordinary people were punished by powerful forces in the human world.
It's the same when you are here, maybe you won't understand this level, because although you have no intention of harming others, although you are completely loyal to the country and the people, after all, you stand high and look far away, but unfortunately you can't see clearly at the foot of the mountain.
Already."
The old man was silent.
"You said that gods should not interfere with the affairs of the world. Why did they come to take care of things in the world instead of taking care of them sooner or later? In fact, have you ever thought about it? Gods don't want to live a free and easy life, but they come to take care of things in the world. He
Are you just willing?" Xu Zhengyang shook his head, "There are too many things that I can't stand."
"There are laws and government agencies in the world."
"Yes, that's right, they are all good." Xu Zhengyang did not deny it and said: "There are injustices, there are evil people who do evil things, there are police, there are courts, there are law enforcement agencies." But you always know the disadvantages of these things.
Where?.
The old man looked at Xu Zhengyang in confusion...
"Perhaps people like you have thought about it. However, you haven't thought about it thoroughly enough because you can't put yourself in my shoes and think about it clearly. When Xu Zhengyang said this, he became a little excited, "You know, an ordinary thing
When a common rural homestead dispute is correct and everything is clear, what will be the result if it is taken to court?"
"If the judgment is wrong, it is the fault of the person, not the law." The old man retorted.
Xu Zhengyang sneered and said: "That's right. But" such a case would drag on for three years or even five years, and some other lawsuits would drag on for ten or eight years before the final judgment is reached. After the judgment, it still has to wait for execution.
Execution takes time. "What's going on?"
"Law enforcement agencies always need enough time to investigate the truth of the matter to prevent miscarriage of justice." The old man lowered his noble head, clearly lacking confidence, but still said: "It's not just one thing, two things."
There are many things to be busy with. As you said, there are many unfair things in this world.
"Well, have you ever thought about how long a person can live in this life? Seventy? Eighty? One hundred years? It takes ten or eight years to fight a lawsuit. Even if it is one year, this is the shortest time.
Okay, I think you should understand, without me having to tell you, how precious time is?"
"That's a difference. Many cases are still handled as quickly as possible!"
"Wrong!" Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows, took out the city roll, and handed it to the old man, "Look, there are not many records on it, only some special cases in Yinghe City this year. It is undeniable that some cases
It is indeed very fast, but if you see clearly, there are connections, backgrounds, or how much money has been spent to achieve such a fast speed." Before the old man could say anything, Xu Zhengyang
Then he said: "Don't say there are many things, they are too busy, look at what they are busy with? Look at their attitude and psychology when ordinary people need help! They are pushing, delaying, and waiting.
I’m giving people gifts and treating me to dinner. I’m complaining that I’m busy, so I’m living leisurely with a cup of tea and a newspaper and a high salary. If I keep piling up one case after another, can it not be too much? Is it possible that I can’t be busy?”
The old man watched silently as Xu Zhengyang spoke in the city scroll. Almost according to what Xu Zhengyang said, scenes were displayed correspondingly, as well as sounds that were clearer than those on TV.
"Let's talk about handling the case." Xu Zhengyang took a breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. "I saw a real thing on the Internet. A family. Two brothers hunted down the enemy who killed their father for eight years. A whole eight years.
The enemy was captured in the field only last year. Of course, every time they arrested criminals, they got help from the police, but I want to know, what did our police do before?"
"I know this is a bit extreme. No matter where you are, there are still good people, and probably, the good people are still in the majority."
"Look again, the police were beaten when handling cases, and the traffic police were spat on, beaten, scolded, and removed from their posts because they met people with backgrounds and power while enforcing the law." Look at people's public opinion today.
"I think you should be able to understand?"
I don’t know how long it took, but the old man sighed softly: "It is inevitable that no matter which country you are in, no matter how sound the laws are, and no matter how perfect the policies are, human selfishness and greed cannot be eradicated. This has never happened since ancient times."
"Yes." Xu Zhengyang nodded and said, "You are looking at the overall situation. Overall, economic and technological development and people's living standards have improved. This is progress."
"Isn't it?"
"Really?" Xu Zhengyang asked rhetorically.
"I know what you are talking about is the regression of education, human quality, morality and humanity." The old man shook his head and said: "You always have to take your time. On the road to a strong country, you will lose something. You have to wait.
When we are strong, we must slowly regain our strength. Otherwise, if we are insulted by foreign powers, we may not even have the chance to look for it.
This time, it was Xing Zhengyang's turn to be silent.
This is the fact. In the past few decades, the country's economy, science and technology, overall national strength, and people's living standards have all undergone earth-shaking changes. From a superficial point of view, it is better, much better than before. But spiritually, things have been lost.
There are too many, but this is also a fish and a bear: "Things that have both factories and factories are developing too fast. People are striding to catch up with the trend, but they can't keep up, or they have gone astray."
If we really want to be honest, people in this society will most likely be dissatisfied and complain, but what are they complaining about?
It's nothing more than selfishness and self-interest.
How many people complain about the lost shortcomings of human morality and conscience?
In the final analysis, the root cause behind all unfairness is the corruption and loss of human morality and conscience.
The old man said: "This requires a long period of digestion and transformation. If the country is gone and the dignity of the country is lost, then what morals and conscience do the citizens have to talk about? Can it be reasonable with robbers, thieves, and hooligans?
?At a time of internal and external troubles, one must take the overall situation into consideration first.”
Xu Zhengyang suddenly realized something. Yes, the so-called world-class powers use the banner of democracy all day long to maintain peace in the world, but what are they doing? Invasion, plunder, hegemony, power...
In fact, today Xu Zhengyang is willing to sit down and talk with the old man, and the reason why he has to win the old man under his command, in the final analysis, isn't it because the old man's vision and mind are far beyond the mentality of ordinary people?
What does Xu Zhengyang need? Study!
If we blindly follow his ideas and concepts, Shuanghe Village is doing well now, and Zehe City is getting better and better now, but "people are more fearful and lack some aspects of bloodiness, dignity, and courage. They should be humiliated by external forces."
What should I do? Be patient?
Xu Zhengyang couldn’t even do it himself!
"Grandpa, are you satisfied with the current situation of Zeheye?" Xu Zhengyang asked.
"Well, fortunately, this is what I wish for."
The old man could not deny that from the investigation and compiled information in the city scroll, it can be seen that since the Zehe Coin experienced two shocks, and various strange events have occurred in various places in the past year, people are in panic.
I have a lot of fear and awe, even though criminal behavior cannot be completely eliminated, it has really affected many people with criminal mentality.
In general, Zehe City can definitely be regarded as the city with the lowest crime rate compared to other parts of the country.
There have also been great changes in people's thinking. It is true that some are forced to endure it and do not dare to commit crimes.
"From now on, you will temporarily act as the judge of Zehe City and Zehe City Long Mansion." Xu Zhengyang said seriously. Although he did not have the right to become a god, he asked a ghost to act as the judge and obtained some divine power and authority from Xu Zhengyang.
, it’s still okay. “There are many affairs in Heaven, and Lord Chenglong is too busy.
I was originally asked to represent Fenghe City, but I am really powerless. Lord Chengbi asked me to bring you a message. There are some recent files in Chenglong Mansion. Please read more and understand the punishments and punishments of the gods in human beings.
"I'm going to ask Lord Chenglong for a favor, so that you won't have to go to the underworld and suffer another punishment."
"Why choose me?"
"Don't think that I don't have the right to make you a god because of my official position, and even the Heavenly Court will not make you a god, or even make you a god." Xu Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "I know very little and have a narrow vision. Come and see more and take care of me."
Take charge, get familiar with the work of the priesthood, and soon you will be able to take charge of more places!"
The old man was dumbfounded.
Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Stop doing things according to the way you thought when you were a human being. You are a ghost. No god will ever pity you the way he treats people."
The old man's heart trembled, and he felt more and more grateful to Xu Zhengyang. From Xu Zhengyang's words, he understood one thing. If Xu Zhengyang hadn't said so many nice words for him in front of the gods, he would not know how many punishments were waiting for him.
Just bear it yourself!
Fortunately, I know Xu Zhengyang. Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang is still a human being. Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang is a "good person."
"Go, go to Chenglong Mansion and check those files first. Learn more about them so that you don't cause any trouble in the future. Alas." Xu Zhengyang sighed.
At this moment, the ghost king bravely walked in through the wall and took the old man out. As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly flashed and disappeared.
Naturally, he went to the palace in the void.
Xu Zhengyang lowered his head and lit a cigarette again. He felt guilty now. He felt so hypocritical.
Because just now, if he hadn't been using his nature to suppress his lonely, arrogant and strong heart and forcing himself to talk freely to the old man, he would have been a little annoyed at the old man's rebuttal to some of his words.
Myself, what happened?
While Xu Zhengyang was frowning and hesitating, the scrolls placed on the coffee table suddenly flickered with light, and the entire quiet room seemed to be blooming with endless brilliance.
The city scroll shows clear lines of golden font:
