If you don't count, you will die

At noon, in front of the guillotine at the Ninth Execution Ground.

Even under the scorching sun, Nuo Da’s execution ground was still gloomy and gloomy. The red land was soaked with the blood of many people.

"How could Mr. Shi kill someone?"

"Yeah, he spent his whole life working hard for those students of Dexiu Academy, such a person...how could it be?"

"I heard that Lou Xi was able to study in the academy because he sponsored him. Could it be a misjudgment?"

There are different opinions, and the students of Dexiu Academy are also mixed in the crowd and gather together in twos and threes, but no one has ever stepped forward. Those students who Shi An helped, at this moment, there are a few more who are willing to come forward to talk to him Last few words?

There was a moment before the execution, there was a commotion in the crowd, a student squeezed out, his face was anxious, his forehead was full of sweat, he must have rushed here.

He rushed to the guillotine, was blocked a few feet away by the guards, raised his head and stared at Shi An.

"Sir! Sir! Look at me! I'm here! Jiang Dong is here to see you!"

This student named Jiang Dong was the one who came to the silent stall with Shi An to divination.

Shi An, who had been bowing his head all this time, finally raised his head, but overnight, the dimples on his face became much deeper, his eyes became cloudy and lifeless, he was no longer the old gentleman who was full of energy even though he was gray-haired.

"Jiang Dong? That's fine, that's fine, only you are willing to come and have a word with this old man."

Jiang Dong raised his hand as much as possible to reach his husband, but it was useless.

"Sir? Why? Is it you? You killed Brother Lou Xi?"

Seeing one of his most proud disciples looking at him with eyes full of confusion, sadness and even disappointment, Shi An's expression was a bit turbulent, "Kill him? Kill him... yes, old man... no, I killed him, but I clearly I'm saving him! I'm saving him! I'm protecting him! As I always do, aren't I? I'm protecting him! Don't even you understand me?"

"Lou Xi is the student I value the most...but he lives too hard and is too tired."

"In the past few years since he came to the academy, I looked at him, watched him work so hard and struggled to live, reading gave him hope, he was happy, but it was short-lived, but he was always smiling, always laughing, afraid I was worried, lest you were worried, that day he escaped from home again, came to me, and said to me, sir, life is so tiring, and he can't see the slightest hope in life..."

"Lou Xi cried, that was the first time I saw him cry, such a strong child, but I don't know what to do..."

"I can sponsor him to study and study, and I can protect him for a short time, but there are so many troubles in the world, how can I protect him all the time?"

"It is said that it is enough to pass the children's examination, but even if you pass the children's examination, you can only leave my small academy and go to Duxue to study. That is another long and slow road. How long can he last after the provincial examination, and after the imperial examination? I always say that Lou Xi is spiritual and knowledgeable, but is he really knowledgeable? Others don’t know, Jiang Dong, don’t you know? Rote memorization I don’t know how to work around, you stole the test questions from me several times and beat around the bush to find the key points for him to review the simulation theory, you think I don’t know? Only Lou Xi is honest and can’t see it.”

"Later, he stayed with me for a few days and left without returning home. I looked for him everywhere, and when I found him, he knelt down by the river, clutching his forehead and crying bitterly.

"I looked at him, seeing him trapped in this endless pain...I thought it would be better to let him stay away completely...I have vaguely had such thoughts since before...Only this, only this..."

Jiang Dong's eyes widened, "But even so, sir, you can't kill Senior Brother Lou, you are obviously hurting him!"

"I didn't harm him! It was the Lous who harmed him! It was Zheng Luping who harmed him! Originally! Originally, they were about to get retribution! But in the end... this world is dirty and the root of all evil. Wouldn't it be better to stay away from here? Leave , there will be no worries...you, can you understand me?"

Jiang Dong kept shaking his head, tears pouring out, and he didn't see the yelling in front of Shen Mo: "Sir, you are wrong, you are wrong this time, you are really wrong, who has never been desperate and sad? You can't, you can't just Therefore, it is he himself who can decide his life and death for senior brother! Even if his parents are wrong, Zheng Luping is wrong, but, but the person who finally sent him to hell is you! I don’t understand you, and everyone doesn’t I understand you!"

Then Jiang Dong turned around and squeezed out of the crowd with a hurried expression, as if he wanted to get away from Shi An immediately.

Shi An lowered his head again dejectedly, his shoulders trembling.

"I'm not wrong... I was saving him... It's Lou Shi, Zheng Luping, it's God's injustice..."

The few people who were close to him were surprised when they heard Shi An's words, they only thought that he was sick, and he was carrying such weird thoughts, how could people understand?

"At noon!"

When the time came, the executioner held a big knife in his hand, raised it high, and tightened his arm muscles.

"gentlemen!"

At this moment, Jiang Dong stumbled and squeezed over with a bowl of clear water in his hand, stretched his arms as hard as he could from the guard's obstruction, and handed the water bowl in his hand.

"Sir! The sky is dry, drink a bowl of water and go on the road!"

Shi An raised his head tremblingly and looked at Jiangtou, as if he hadn't expected him to come back, his chapped lips trembled for a while.

However, no matter how hard Jiang Dong tried, there was still a few feet away from Shi'an. The executioner raised the knife and fell, and immediately the blood column was high, splashed all over the ground, and splashed into the water bowl in Jiang Dong's hand, and the bowl of clear water was immediately stained with bright red. .

The headless body fell to the ground, and the master's head rolled away. Whether he didn't drink the last sip of water from his student, no one could understand in the end, and he locked himself in a prison called "salvation." "in the cage.

Time and destiny, at this time, An lived for the academy and for the students all his life, but in the end he missed a step, his thoughts went heresy, and he died.

Shen Mo looked at the picture rendered in dark colors by the black cloth in front of him. This was the first time Shen Mo from the civilized age saw the execution scene with his own eyes. He had no fear or emotion. In life, the dead will never be as terrifying as the living.

"Jian, lame. The family is in decline, and everything is not going well. If you break the hexagram, a gentleman can cultivate virtue by rebellion."

The hexagram of Shi'an, if it fails to break the hexagram and be reborn, it just follows the hexagram and becomes a rebirth.

No matter what the two are, they must get a result before they can continue their lives.

It really is not easy to continue life against the sky.

After Shen Mo muttered, a voice suddenly sounded beside him, "A gentleman cultivates virtue by reflexively? Little blind man, is this the hexagram you divination for him? It is really accurate."

Su Yuanhuan?

Shen Mo took a step sideways, not knowing when Su Yuanhuan came to him silently.

"It's a pity, little blind man, I wanted to drag you to the Law Enforcement Hall, but I didn't expect you to have a lot of background." Su Yuanhuan looked at Shen Mo and tsk-tsk, his ordinary face was a little bit strange because of that bright smile Very brilliant.

As Su Yuan's cheerful words fell, countless black-clothed guards came from all directions and surrounded Shen Mo.

Silently watched himself being surrounded and trapped, as if he didn't care about his situation at all.

"Aren't you afraid? Little blind man, you are really interesting."

Then Su Yuanhuan raised his voice, his voice contained internal energy, and it vibrated in all directions.

"The law enforcement hall is ordered by the emperor to respectfully invite the disciples of the deceased national teacher, and the little national teacher will return to the imperial palace in silence!"

A beheading had just been carried out in this execution ground, and there were heavy soldiers from the Law Enforcement Hall rounding it up, which caused the people to retreat and disperse in fear, and at the same time, they were not afraid of death to look around and inquire.

"A disciple of the national teacher?"

"Little national teacher?"

"how is this possible?"

"Will Zhantian Kingdom have a national teacher? No way?"

When it comes to the national teacher, everyone first thinks of the human skin that once fluttered at the city gate for seven days. The emperor of the Zhantian Kingdom has always been an existence opposed to the national teacher, and now the national teacher's disciple who turned out to be born...

This is really puzzling.

Mo Mo was escorted all the way to the imperial palace by the Law Enforcement Hall, passed through the winding palace with carved railings and jade, and came to the court hall with high terraces and thick pavilions, where he was held down and knelt in the center of the court hall.

Although the court hall of the Jiuchong Emperor's Palace is magnificent, it is also extremely empty. The officials on both sides bowed their heads in silence and respect. The whole court hall is filled with a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. It is inexplicably more gloomy than the execution ground .

Feeling a piercing gaze above his head, Mo Mo looked up, and saw a half-mask that was dark and treacherously painted with complex red textures. pack.

The emperor's first person who looked like a general manager said: "Silence, you are a closed disciple of the national teacher, you should live in the temple of the voyeur, ask the secrets of the sky every day, and pray for good luck for Zhantian, why did you sneak out of the palace?"

"I'm not—" I'm not a disciple of the National Teacher!

Mo Mo opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't expect to feel a strong wind hit his neck after only a few words, and then he was speechless.

Everyone bowed their heads as if they couldn't see the strangeness of the silence, as if they were deaf and blind.

The manager was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Dijun's gesture.

Silence saw that the emperor took a dragon-carved gold cane, stood up, and walked in front of him slowly leaning on the cane.

While walking, the corner of the robe swayed, and one side was empty, it didn't look like a fake, the emperor of the War Heaven Kingdom is currently disabled with a broken leg?

When he got closer, he found that the emperor with the broken leg was extremely tall, and he was completely shrouded in front of Shen Mo, with an overwhelming aura.

He stretched out his hand, motioning for Shen Mo to stand up, "Shen Mo, make a divination for me, if I am satisfied, I will go around you this time."

The voice that surrounds the ears is low and low, as if carrying the cold winter wind, making people feel chills all over the body.

After a short moment of silence, Shen Mo pulled out the heroine from his waist and handed it to the ruler of Zhan Tian Kingdom, Dijun Zhan.

Dijun took Hao Su, without asking any questions, and directly approved the next word.

Shen Mo stared there, as if he could really see the word floating in the air.

For a moment, silence.

Second moment, silence.

Three quarters, still silent.

The entire court seemed to have no living people, no one spoke, and no one was surprised. It can be seen that the emperor of Zhantian Kingdom has accumulated a lot of prestige.

Finally, Shen Shen tried to open his mouth, and found that the voice was smooth, and said: "No hexagram."

"No?"

The word yin and cold rang in the ears, and the cool air permeated the ears, which made people feel cold all over the body. The meaning of oppression mentioned in it, even if it is silent, it feels oppressive.

Shen Mo raised his hand and reached out to Dijun, boldly wanting to touch Dijun's hand.

The emperor dodged, and in the blink of an eye, he had already returned to the emperor's throne, threw his robe and sat down, and did not give Mo Mo a chance to ask questions.

"Forget it, even though you are a disciple of the national teacher, you are not good enough to learn at a young age, and you can't do such ordinary divination questions. I am thinking of the old national teacher's kindness, and I will forgive you once."

After the emperor's words fell, someone came to put him on silence again.

The steward said: "The emperor is benevolent. For the sake of the late national teacher's old love and silent youth, he brought the little national teacher back to the Hall of Observation and fasted for three days, and studied divination in order to get good luck for Zhantian as soon as possible. .”

Everyone secretly thought about the old relationship between the emperor and the late national teacher?I'm afraid it's an old enemy.

This Master Chief is really good at telling nonsense with his eyes open, he is worthy of being a good dog of Dijun Zhan.

The court officials of Zhantian Kingdom also learned a good acting skill of pretending to be deaf and dumb one by one.

Silence was taken away again, and along the way, he kept thinking about the words written by Dijun.

What the emperor wrote was the word "Heaven", and what Lin Mu wrote when divination was also the word "Heaven".

Both of them also couldn't get the hexagram words, not to mention the hexagram words, even the hexagram image and the name of the hexagram. If it wasn't for the direct contact with the veins of Lin Mu's palm at that time, it would be rare to even get that hexagram word.

However, the supreme emperor of Zhantian Kingdom would not let him wantonly touch the palm of his hand to ask questions.

It seems simple to ask the hexagrams by asking the characters, but it actually hides a secret.

The words written by a person are exactly the manifestation of what he thinks in his heart, and the strokes also carry some characteristics of the person. Seeing the words is like seeing a person, and there is a little bit of this meaning in it.

The emperor wrote "Heaven", probably because he didn't believe in and fear the sky, just like the meaning of the country's name Zhantian he mentioned personally - fight against the sky to win a chance of survival.

Really crazy.

At that time, the word An wrote at that time was "good".

Shi An believes that he is "good", and he has been doing good deeds. At the end of the good deeds, there is a disagreement.

That's why he went to the ruined temple to worship after killing Lou Xi. In the corner of his heart, he may have noticed his mistake. Only consider yourself to be "good", to rescue Louxie, to redeem, and to be the right way.

He also wanted to punish the so-called "evil" with his own power, so he took the initiative to report the case, intending to push everything to Lou's two people, and then a sudden change occurred, and he wanted to drag Zheng Luping into the water, but he said too much Doing more shows flaws, subconsciously excuses yourself when you are about to face sanctions, and covers everything with a beautiful so-called "punishing evil" veil, deceiving yourself and others.

He was really "good" before, and later enjoyed the praise and flattery brought about by "goodness". The arrogance, arbitrariness and selfishness hidden in the depths are dark and falling apart.

Then, what is the "heaven" written by Lin Mu?

The author has something to say: Lin Mu: Today's game is, where are my legs?
