    "Master, are you really leaving?" Lao Wu asked, clicking his tongue.

    "You go and kill, and wait for me in the east of the city in half an hour." Mo Wen said after a brief pause. He would always regret not letting Lao Wu take action at this time.

    "What are you going to do?" Lao Wu nodded happily when he saw Mo Wen changing his mind.

    "I'm going to see an old friend, please be careful." Mo Wen said without saying anything, he jumped off the bat's back and walked through the streets to Xicheng.

    At this time, most of the officers and soldiers in the city were carrying bows and arrows. Flying from high places was not as good as An Chuquan walking through the streets. However, at this time, the streets were full of murderers with weapons and victims with incomplete bodies. They wanted to find a place.  It is very difficult to find a foothold that is not stained by blood.

    People have evil thoughts deep in their hearts. In troubled times, the evil thoughts in their hearts are fully exposed. Both the Hu people and the Han people show their ferocious side. This ferocity is mainly reflected in killing everyone on sight, regardless of the old or the weak.  Women and children, and the despicability of human nature also appears at this time. When adult men choose targets, they will first choose old, weak, women and children. There is no other reason than that these people have no power to fight back and it is easier to massacre.

    At this time, the barbarians were far less ferocious than the Han people. Most of the barbarians on the streets were soldiers. Their main purpose of killing was to quell the violence. Therefore, they only killed people, not robbed, and they only chased and killed them on the streets.  Han men armed with weapons rarely broke into the house.

    This is not the case for the Han people. For the sake of the security of the capital, Emperor Zhao did not leave too many Han troops in the city. At this time, most of the Han troops were concentrated around the palace. Most of the Han people on the streets were wearing uniforms.  The weapons in the hands of civilians were mostly farm tools, kitchen knives, firewood and axes. At this time, they might gather in groups of a few or dozens of people, searching for the foreigners on the streets, or breaking down doors and walls to enter the foreigners' houses and kill them wantonly.  Moreover, they not only killed the Hu people, but also slaughtered the Han maids and maids in the Hu people's houses.

    The massacre of the Han people had a strong sense of revenge. The Hu people had been robbing them of their property, wives and daughters for many years. At this time, they finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge. The resentment that had been accumulated for many years burst out instantly. Their minds were extremely crazy and their actions were extremely cruel. They killed  Most of the Hu people dismembered the corpses and disemboweled them.  In addition, these Han people were carrying many packages of different sizes, including the property they had robbed. In order to obtain the property, they would deceive the Hu people by saying, "They only seek wealth, not killing people." The Hu people wanted to survive more.  They would take out the property at home, but their words were not accurate and they would not keep their word. After getting the property, they would kill all the Hu people and their families.

    The Hu people all have the habit of wearing jewelry. In order to remove the necklaces and bracelets worn by the Hu people and those women, these Han people would cut off their heads and wrists, and pluck them from the bloody corpses and the screaming Hu people.  Pick.

    In addition to killing and robbing, the Han people in the city also committed treachery and evil, ranging from seniors to young girls. Some women were afraid of death and did not dare to resist. After being humiliated, they still could not escape the fate of being killed.  There are also some women with strong temperaments who try their best to resist and try to preserve their reputation, but their resistance is in vain. Women are weak and can never compete with men in strength. Resistance will only arouse the animal nature in the hearts of men, and some will even directly chop them down.  They would resist the women's heads and behave like beasts to the headless female corpses that were spurting blood. After that, they would do even more heinous things. They would cut off these women's breasts and put them into their arms.  Open the woman's lower abdomen and look at the flesh and blood inside her private parts.

    After only crossing three streets, what he saw and heard already made Mo Wen furious. There were not just a group or a group of Han people who did evil things. The entire Yecheng was full of Han people doing such things.  His expression was distorted, and his words and deeds were ugly and cruel. Although human nature has both good and evil sides, he never thought that Han people would have such an ugly side in their hearts. This kind of ugliness was worse than the cannibalism of the Hu people.  What's more, what these Han people did has gone far beyond the limit of revenge, and has become a kind of bestiality without restraint.

    Mo Wen crossed three streets, looked at three streets, and killed three streets, but in the end he threw away the steel knife he picked up. This situation is too common. If all the Han people who did evil things were killed, I would be afraid that  Without the help of the Hu people, he would kill more than 70% of the entire Han people in Yecheng.

    Mo Wen had seen the ugliness of human nature. He had seen barbarians killing and cannibalizing people, and he had also seen barbarians bullying Han women. Before that, he thought that this was the ultimate form of ugliness in human nature. He never thought that what he saw now was far beyond his previous understanding.  , he could hardly help vomiting. This strong feeling of vomiting did not come from the blood and filth on the ground, but from the disappointment in human nature. He had always believed that blood was the main factor in determining character, and had always agreed with people who were not from our race.  There is an old saying that people with similar minds will be different, but at this time, he no longer thinks so. A person's bloodline and race cannot determine whether a person is a good person or a bad person. What really plays a decisive role is the influence and education they receive.

      These Han people have been living together with the Hu people, and the Hu people lacked education before they invaded China, and they carried a barbaric and ferocious evil spirit. The Han people have been exposed to it all year round, and under the influence of the Hu people, they also developed a ferocious heart.  Their ferocity even exceeds that of the barbarians.

    Confucius once said, "Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell their fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed by them."  Living with unwholesome people is like entering an abalone house. If you don't smell the smell for a long time, you will be transformed by it.  What is hidden in elixir is red, and what is hidden in lacquer is black. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful where he is.  ¡¯

    This saying means that people will be subtly affected by the surrounding environment, and no one can escape the influence of the environment. The so-called "emerging from the mud but not stained" refers to the lotus without consciousness, which does not apply to people. There is no such thing as "emerging from the mud but not stained" in the world.  People who are in a bad environment will gradually become worse, without exception.  The so-called exception is because the time in the mud is not long enough.

    Mo Wen did not stop the murders and rapes. It is very easy to restrain a person, and it is also very easy to kill a person, but this can't change anything. If we want to make the world free of killings and make people gentle, we can only rely on education and guidance.  .  Some people in Taoism talk about nobles and humble people, and noble people refer to people like him who are not confused and wise.  What noble people should do is not to use their own wisdom and foresight to despise and enslave ignorant people, but to tolerate their ignorance and try to give them good guidance. Ignorant people lack the ability to judge right from wrong, and noble people should help them judge right from wrong and lead them  Go in the direction of peace, kindness and warmth.

    After a while, Mo Wen came to Pu Xiong's house. Since Pu Xiong was promoted to a first-class general by him, Pu Xiong's Qiannu General's Mansion had been expanded. At this time, the door of the General's Mansion was closed, and there were no Han people around.  It is a common problem in the world to bully the weak and fear the strong. Most of the people killed by the Han people in the city were Hu civilians. They did not dare to disturb the real general's residence easily.

    When he left with the seal, Pu Xiong was already a first-class general. According to common sense, a general's mansion should cover an area of ??100 acres, but Pu Xiong's house only has more than 20 acres, and the height of the courtyard wall and the copper on the door  Supplement, the width of the surrounding roads is lower than the specifications of other generals at the same level.

    When he arrived at the door, Mo Wen did not knock on the door, but jumped into the courtyard with confidence. He saw that the huge general's mansion only had about twenty rooms, and the interior decoration was very crude.

    After entering the courtyard, Mo Wen saw Pu Xiong at first sight. Pu Xiong was sitting on a wooden chair outside the main hall. Behind him stood several mature servants, a thin-ridged steel knife, and a strong iron-tied bow.  and two tubes of feather arrows were placed on a wooden table in front of him.

    When Mo Wen stood still, Pu Xiong's right hand was already on the strong bow on the table. After seeing Mo Wen's appearance, he retracted his hand tremblingly and stood up slowly while holding on to the armrest of the wooden chair.

    "Brother Pu, the city has become a boiling water, and you are hiding at home?" Mo Wen stepped forward.

    Pu Xiong's hands were only shaking before. Hearing Mo Wen's words, Pu Xiong began to tremble all over. He eagerly pushed away the wooden table in front of him and walked quickly towards Mo Wen. When Mo Wen approached, his eyes were already red, "The last general Pu Xiong, have you ever seen him before?"  real person.¡±

    When Pu Xiong spoke, he lifted the hem of his clothes with his right hand, intending to kneel down and salute. Mo Wen hurriedly reached out to help him up, "You and I are personal friends, how can we be so different?"

    Hearing this, Pu Xiong stretched out his arms to hug Mo Wen and cried loudly. Mo Wen was promoted from the fifth rank of miscellaneous general to the first rank of general within three years of the eastern expedition to the three counties. This was a great kindness.  Mo Wen fought a last-ditch battle in Xiongzhou, Northeast China. He knew full well that his entire army would be destroyed if he went to fight, so he numbed him with drugs beforehand and sent him back to Yecheng to save his life. This was a great act of justice.  After being separated for more than four years, when a huge change occurred in Yecheng, I came here to take shelter. This is a nostalgia for old friendship.

    "I'm so confused right now, so please don't cause any more trouble to me." Mo Wen said with a wry smile. Pu Xiong is from the Di tribe and is not a Han Chinese. His nature is more bold and open-minded than the Han people. It is also appropriate for him to make such a hug.  Within reason.

    Hearing the sound, Pu Xiong hurriedly let go of Mo Wen, turned around and shouted into the main hall, "Hurry and prepare for the banquet, Master Mo is here."

    At this time, there was no rule for children and women to come out to meet guests. After Pu Xiong shouted, the woman's voice of agreement came from the main hall, followed by footsteps. Judging from the footsteps, it was judged that the servants in Pu Xiong's mansion  There are not many maids.

    "The previous fight in the sky was actually done by real people?" Pu Xiong quickly regained his general demeanor, stretched his left hand forward, and invited Mo Wen into the room.

    Mo Wen nodded when he heard this. Ye City is too big. The palace area where the previous battle was located is in the east city, while Pu Xiong lives in the southwest.

    "Are you injured?" Pu Xiong asked with concern.

    Mo Wen didn¡¯t answer, just shook his head slowly.

    "Why is your face so ugly?" Pu Xiong asked.

    Although Puxiong is a subordinate, he is several years older than him, and they are good friends, so I didn¡¯t hide it from him without asking, and told him what I saw and thought, and the words got right halfway.In the hall, I saw a statue of a god in the north of the main hall. There was no statue of the god on the statue. What was enshrined in the three altars was the positioning charm he wrote to Kamuo. Since the purple charm was painted four years ago, it was already somewhat  Pan black.

    Pu Xiong was not too surprised after listening to Mo Wen's story. Mo Wen was an outsider and rarely saw filth, while he was a leading general in the imperial court and had seen a lot of the ugliness of human nature.

    "The last general is also a barbarian." Pu Xiong stopped talking.

    ¡°If you have something to say, it¡¯s okay to say it.¡± Mo Wen wanted to hear Pu Xiong¡¯s opinion.

    "The last general thinks that both Han people and Hu people are all good and bad. The last general is a Hu, but he has never killed Han civilians or robbed other people's property. However, there are some Han officials in the court who have more bad habits than Hus in cannibalism and abuse of servants.  People are even more so," Pu Xiong said.

    "Hu people can do good things if they are educated. Han people can also do evil if they are not educated." Mo Wen nodded. In fact, he understood some things. He just wanted to hear his friends' opinions and relieve his inner depression.

    "Yes, yes, you can't judge someone by race." Pu Xiong nodded repeatedly.

    Mo Wen nodded when he heard this.

    "How have you been living these past few years?" Pu Xiong asked.

    "It's acceptable. What caused the accident in the city?" Mo Wen asked casually. Although he was talking to Pu Xiong, what he was thinking about at this time was that the Buddhist concept of equality of all living beings seems not entirely wrong, at least when it applies to foreigners and people.  There is a certain truth to the Han people, and we cannot conclude that they are worthless just because their teachings are flawed.  This time I went to the East China Sea to return the Suanni inner elixir. On the way back, I would find one or two of those who bullied Lao Wu to relieve Lao Wu. Then I went to Liang Kingdom to find the Peacock King of that year and have a calm talk with him.  Talk and listen to what this person¡¯s Mahayana teachings are.  If this person was still in China, he would have learned Chinese over the years.  But it is unlikely to find this person, because Liu Shaoqing has been the protector of the Liang Kingdom in recent years. When the seven came out of the mountain, Taoism was squeezed out by Buddhism and had almost no place to stand. Therefore, Liu Shaoqing has a deeper prejudice against Buddhism than he does.  Liu Shaoqing, as the real protector of the country, will definitely suppress Buddhism in Liang Kingdom. The Peacock King will not have an easy life in Liang Kingdom, and he may have been hungry and ran back to the Western Regions.

    "After Shi Hu's death, various princes competed for the throne. In this year, regicide occurred twice. The person leading the attack this time was Shi Hu's adopted grandson Ran Min. He was promoted to the rank of general and was granted the title of King of Wude.  This man was originally a Han. When Shi Hu was in power, he was ordered to fight and made many achievements. This attack was intended to expel the barbarians and restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. In fact, it was because he was unhappy because he failed to take over the throne of Zhao State and took the official title.  It¡¯s for personal gain,¡± Pu Xiong said.

    Hearing this, Mo Wen turned his head and glanced at Pu Xiong. Pu Xiong said hurriedly, "A real person treats his general with as much kindness as a mountain. The general will never lie to each other, and everything he says is true."

    "Brother Pu misunderstood. I had no intention of getting involved in this matter. This time I took action because of a chance encounter while traveling east." Mo Wen waved his hand. He has been practicing Taoism and scriptures for many years, and he has a good understanding of essential things.  It turns out that Ran Min did have merit in expelling the Hu people, but this does not mean that he has no selfish motives.  His achievements cannot be erased, but there is no need to regard him as a national hero.

    ¡°The general¡¯s residence of yours is quite shabby.¡± Mo Wen looked around and changed the subject.

    "Everyone in the court knows that Mo will be promoted to the real person, and no one dares to reuse him. However, they are worried about the reputation of the real person, and they dare not remove the title of the last general. In the past few years, Mo will be idle at home, but he is quiet." Pu.  Xiong smiled.

    Mo Wen smiled when he heard this and said, "I have something to do and can't stay for a long time. Please bring me a pen and ink. I will leave a letter to avoid disasters."

    "The Shi family has many princes who have been granted the title of prince. Even if the imperial city is captured, its foundation is still there, and the outcome of the battle is unpredictable. Do you really want to stay out of the matter?" Pu Xiong stood up and picked up the pen and ink.

    Mo Wen nodded, took up his pen and wrote a book, saying that Pu Xiong was of noble character and a just man. His whereabouts were unknown, including his name, number, and date.

    Pu Xiong took the letter from Mo Wen and thanked him repeatedly. A person's name is just like the shadow of a tree. Mo Wen's name is too big, so getting his handwriting can keep the whole family in peace in this chaotic world.

    After chatting with Pu Xiong for a while, Mo Wen estimated that the time agreed with Lao Wu was up, so he stood up and left, heading to the east of the city to meet Lao Wu.
