Chapter 165 Right or Wrong
While running, Zhang Buyi's mana fluctuated, and he tentatively used the sapphire card to make an impromptu divination.
Who would have known that as soon as the spell was cast, the sapphire card turned into blood red, vivid and vivid, and a blood-red ominous word emerged from the card. Zhang Buyi, who was running, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, dad?" Bruce Lee also stopped and looked at Zhang Buyi in confusion and asked.
Zhang Buyi's expression changed for a moment, and he said: "Change the direction, instead of going to the pass, let's take a long detour, climb over the mountains, and go back from the snowy area!"
Bruce Lee didn't ask why, but instead looked around with a slightly changed expression. Zhang Buyi didn't mean to explain to him, so he turned around and walked in the other direction.
Seeing this, Bruce Lee immediately followed. At the same time, he asked with some worry: "Are we being hung up?"
Zhang Buyi nodded, and Bruce Lee asked again: "Because of what happened just now?"
Zhang Buyi glanced at him, didn't reply, and continued on his way. When Bruce Lee saw this, he didn't ask any more questions, but started chasing with all his strength.
After changing directions and walking for a moment, the panic in my heart did not subside at all. The sapphire card was still blood red, but it felt more and more urgent.
Zhang Buyi stopped moving forward again and looked ahead, as if there was something somewhere in front of him, waiting for him to send it up.
'Did that old ghost succeed in the end? He came out so quickly and started blocking his own way in front?'
"What's wrong, dad?" Bruce Lee asked suspiciously when he saw Zhang Buyi stopped again and his expression kept changing. He looked around and found nothing unusual.
Zhang Buyi's thoughts flickered for a moment, then he suddenly turned around and said: "Let's go back, let's go to the hinterland of Tianzhu!"
"Ah? Aren't you going back to Daxia?" Bruce Lee said blankly.
"I won't go!" As Zhang Buyi spoke, he ran out at the lead.
Bruce Lee followed immediately, but he was a little confused and puzzled. Although he guessed that they were being followed, he didn't notice anything.
Even so, he still followed Zhang Buyi honestly towards the hinterland of Asan.
After changing direction and walking forward for less than half an hour, Zhang Buyi's inner sense of urgency gradually relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief quietly. It seemed that his guess might be true, and the old ghost really succeeded in the end.
Already.
······
In the area nearly an hour's journey ahead of the two people, three people and one snake were traveling sideways with a group of former patrolling disciples. Suddenly, the giant snake leading the way stopped.
"What's wrong, ancestor?" One of the three rank-4 monks saw this and asked immediately.
The giant snake ignored the other party, but stopped, stood up, raised its head to the sky, and felt it carefully for a long time. It did not continue to move laterally, but tried to pursue something and swam towards their inland.
Seeing this, everyone probably understood something. The three rank-4 monks looked at each other, and one of them said: "Will this Daxia man follow me back? Is he heading inland?"
"Then we're in trouble now!"
"Yes, there is obviously something wrong with our ancestor. If this continues, it will surely attract the attention of other families!"
"Then what should we do now? Let the ancestor carry Tianmang's true body and go back in plain sight?"
"Is there any other way? Can just a few of us stop the current ancestor?"
"Damn Daxia people, if it weren't for him, we should be able to complete the ceremony perfectly! No need to use any backup plan!"
"Let's go, hurry up and follow!"
······
Zhang Buyi and his two men had already crossed most of the border area, and were actually not far from Tianzhu Asan's living area. Now they turned back and continued deeper, traveling all night, and before dawn, they arrived at the border town of Tianzhu.
Looking at the border town, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then Bruce Lee frowned.
At the end of the dense forest, in front of the sight, is a large border town. At this moment, the town is not peaceful. What breaks its tranquility is not the rising sun, but the dancing firelight.
.
The two of them slowed down and came to the earth-wall-like fence of the town. They looked towards the town. They could see fire everywhere, and there were cries in many places. Most of the burning places were belonging to the rich people in the town.
House courtyard.
After the flames burned in the middle of the night, the fire no longer reached the sky, but many places had been burned into ruins. Many people were squatting among them and crying. Some had no love in their lives, and some looked at them with hatred.
"This is... our people did it?" Bruce Lee looked at this scene, frowning and saying with a dark face.
Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "It's possible, it's possible that they did it by themselves, or both."
As he spoke, Zhang Buyi thought of Daxia decades ago, which was so similar to this scene. Time seemed to go back to when the foreign powers invaded. They also let it go, and even sent their own evil forces to cause chaos in Daxia, just like a reincarnation.
.
The only difference is that Daxia was once purely the party being invaded. Now the Asans of Tianzhu are involved in interests and have changed from an invasion to a defense war. Morally speaking, they are not pure victims.
"How can these people do this? Is there any way to do this?" Bruce Lee said angrily.
Zhang Buyi glanced at him and said: "You are born well. If you saw some of the scenes you saw when you were a father, you would have no feelings about it.
And this is considered to be somewhat restrained. After all, we only robbed wealthy households and did not go on a killing spree. Since it is a war, you must pay the price. Speaking of which, it can be considered as helping Tianzhu to alleviate the stinking problem of strict class.
!”
"But, these people probably didn't participate in the war!" Bruce Lee still said in confusion.
Zhang Buyi glanced at Bruce Lee and said: "You can have your own standards, and others can also have other people's standards. No matter what you think, remember that since it is a war, as long as you do not lose the most basic humanity, there are no absolutes."
's mistake.
Just like these big families on the border, do you really think that if a war breaks out outright, they will side with Daxia? When they join the war, how will they count the people they killed in Daxia?"
Bruce Lee looked at Zhang Buyi and said with rare seriousness: "Dad, you are just sophistry. You cannot judge their current situation based on assumptions."
Zhang Buyi shook his head, not wanting to argue too much on this issue, because Bruce Lee was born in an era when Daxia was gradually becoming more powerful, and he received some extremely normal education, which was indeed very good.
But some things are actually not so clear-cut.
Because Bruce Lee only had knowledge of the past history of Daxia, but he had no emotions towards the great powers because he had never experienced such a time. Even now, many people in Daxia have begun to yearn for and even admire some places in the West.
Different times have created completely different outlooks on life.
Bruce Lee's perception was correct, but Zhang Buyi didn't think that these colleagues who had some restraint made many mistakes. Of course, he didn't know whether they were right or not. He just knew that he would not be malicious and criticize!
After all, he has always known that he is a very clear person with double standards. If these happened in Daxia, or in other countries during non-war times, he would take a clear stand, but now, he will not express any position on it.
Unless they are some low-level cultivators who come here just to kill people, Zhang Buyi will not agree. Otherwise, don't ask about right or wrong, just ask about the position. This is the attitude that war should have.
"Let's go. Now that we're here, we can't go back empty-handed. We also go to the mainland for a tour!" Zhang Buyi said calmly.
"Dad, you mean, we do the same thing?" Bruce Lee said with a look of astonishment.
Zhang Buyi turned around and knocked Bruce Lee on the head and said: "Even if you go underground, you still have to remember the ancestral rules!"
"Then what are we going to do?" Bruce Lee asked puzzledly.
"Have you mastered martial arts training in your brain? Why can't we steal without robbing?" Zhang Buyi glanced at Bruce Lee and said: "Or do you think that even if we come here with a war order, we still have to abide by the law? We must abide by Tianzhu's five laws.
Waiting class?"
Bruce Lee touched his head, showed a smile, and said: "Of course not, as you said, dad, we can do a lot of good deeds by helping them solve the problem of class differentiation!"
Zhang Buyi smiled and shook his head, put away his expression and said: "The things you learned in Daxia Academy are correct to remember. But you have to remember that in times of war, you can continue to abide by all the rules.
But you can’t ask others to do the same. As long as they don’t touch your bottom line, they are not wrong, and they can’t judge right or wrong. You are not young anymore, and you need to understand that in the adult world, there is no absolute right or wrong.”
Bruce Lee nodded as if he understood, and said: "Oh, I remember it!"
While speaking, the two of them stopped pausing and floated up again, passing through the border town and heading towards the inner city of Tianzhu.
These people were originally idle soldiers who came under a war order, or they could not be counted as soldiers, so they did not have to obey any orders from the court, and the court did not expect them to obey any orders.
Originally, they just hoped to turn some low-ranking people in Daxia into valuables and let them come to Tianzhu to create chaos and increase pressure on Ah San, so as to complete the peace negotiations as soon as possible.
The only thing that the court didn't expect was that the princes underestimated Daxia's accumulation over the years, and not only some low-level people came, but also many ordinary people who lacked resources came over hiding their identities.
After so many people with different ethics swarmed into Tianzhu, the effect achieved was a bit too good. In just a few days, Tianzhu blossomed everywhere and became chaotic.
Some were simply and brutally burned, killed, and looted;
There are those who steal quietly;
He even came to be a hero, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and helping some untouchables, which fulfilled the dream of a knight in the past;
The most bizarre thing is that there are people who come to lead some "untouchable" classes in Tianzhu to cause chaos and call for the awakening of consciousness. It is simply excellent!
