After Li Hongxu served the tea, he sat quietly on one side.

The old man took a sip of tea, picked up the tea bowl and placed it on his knees, and slowly said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but I still think I should tell you."

The old man said and paused, as if he was deliberately preparing time for Lu Chenlong.

After a while, the old man continued, "Gaochang is dead."

Although Lu Chenlong had made sufficient psychological preparations before this, his face still couldn't help but jump when he heard the news.

The old man sighed helplessly, "I know the relationship between you. You, Huang Mian, want Gaochang, both as a fellow brother and a sworn brother."

"If you can't get what you want, you will be separated from each other, is the most painful thing in the world. I have lived for more than a century, and no one understands your mood better than me."

Lu Chenlong turned his head and looked at the old man, his eyes full of grief. "How did he die?"

The old man did not answer positively and said to himself: "Happiness, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire, seven emotions, life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, nose, six desires, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind

The six senses, Buddhism says that it is said that to eliminate the seven emotions and six desires, and to be pure in the body and the six senses of law, you can attain the great way and achieve the right result. In fact, the same is true for us. Faith and ideals rise to a certain level, which coincides with the Buddha's principles. All kinds of things in the world, the past clouds and smoke,

Only Tao, only reason, only by transcending small love, small virtue, and escaping into great love, and great virtue can you jump out of the three realms and not in the five elements."

The old man murmured: "What are the three realms, what are the five elements, transcend the desires of oneself, transcend the emotions of oneself, transcend the self, transcend the me, and escape for him. How cruel is the way of heaven? Therefore, heaven will give great responsibility and man, he must first suffer.

The mind and mind are exhausted, the muscles and bones are exhausted, the body is empty, and the actions are disturbed."

The old man picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, "Chenlong, you have experienced countless tribulations in your life, and every tribulation is a test of the great way. If you can't pass it, you will succeed. If you pass it, the natural barrier will turn into a thoroughfare."

The old man's face was so graceful and kind, and his tone was serious. "Chenlong, do you know that the transformation of qi is not the highest level of martial arts. The limits of the human body cannot prove that the vastness of the heavenly way is still not enough to touch. And if you want to touch it,

When you arrive, you must transcend the seven emotions and six desires in this world."

"Only the Tao can you get the Tao in your heart."

"Chenlong, you are upright and upright in line with the righteousness of the great way, but you are too obsessed with small feelings, but it is contrary to the great feelings. Everyone in this world deserves our love and should also love, if you have always been obsessed with small feelings,

The relatives and friends around you cannot prove the truth, let alone prove yourself.”

The old man looked at Lu Chenlong kindly, "I call the internal transformation of qi to prove the Tao, and the external Vajra to prove the self. Whether it is the Tao or the self, it is the spirit of the heavenly way with people as the core, and it is also ours.

The pursuit of justice and equality, the true equality of all beings. Buddhism avoids the world in troubled times and begs for alms in prosperous times has actually fallen into the inferiority, and we are truly supporting the right path with our own strength."

The old man murmured: "We are not afraid of power, life and death, or even fear of carrying infamy. Do you think we are the people in this world who are closest to Taoism and closest to ourselves?"

Lu Chenlong's eyes closed slightly, his fists clenched, and his face kept beating.

The old man glanced at Lu Chenlong and sighed, "Chenlong, I have been giving you a chance. I hope you will give yourself a chance, and at the same time, give me a chance."

After saying that, the old man stood up, looked at Li Hongxu who was sitting on the side, and instructed: "Take good care of him."

After the old man left, Li Hongxu said softly: "As the leader of the organization, it is not allowed to be known to outsiders. You should have guessed that except for Lu Shanmin, anyone who knows you will be cleaned up, and maybe some will be left behind.

But those old men will force you to do it yourself,

The level that tests you, it is better to die in their hands now than to die in your hands in person.”

Lu Chenlong murmured: "The farther I let you leave, the better, why don't you listen?"

Li Hongxu comforted: "This is his own choice, he will not blame you."

Lu Chenlong opened his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked up at the tiles on the beams. This was the most painful and difficult time in his life. "What should I do?"

Li Hongxu saw it and felt pain in his heart. He knew Lu Chenlong's current conflicted and painful mood.

"The old man worked hard all his life, and he would not hand over the organization to you easily."

Li Hongxu said softly: "You don't have too many choices. You either get rid of all the people who know you are alive for your son, or you lie on firewood and taste gall to wait for the opportunity to give a fatal blow, but the waiting process will be very difficult and painful."

Li Hongxu looked at Lu Chenlong gently, "You are a hero, no matter how you choose, you will be the biggest hero in the world."

Lu Chenlong turned his head to look at Li Hongxu, his eyes a little complicated.

Li Hongxu smiled slightly, "Don't look at me like this, I'm not testing you, this is my truth."

Lu Chenlong said lightly: "You looked very much like her just now. She also said what you said to me back then."

Li Hongxu's smile remained the same. She was not angry because Lu Chenlong said that she was like her, but instead felt a little happy about it.

"Life is a cycle of reincarnation. Thirty years ago, you made your choice, and thirty years later, you face the same choice again."

Lu Chenlong looked sad, "The choice thirty years ago killed her."

"But she didn't blame you, she took pride in you, didn't she?"

Lu Chenlong murmured: "How great would it be if my death could be exchanged for their lives."

Li Hongxu shook his head, "If you live, they still have a glimmer of life. If you die, they will have no glimmer of life."

Lu Chenlong said lightly: "You don't understand the mountain people. He is so similar to me back then. He will sooner or later reach the bottom line, and I may not be able to protect him at that time."

Li Hongxu said: "He is also your bottom line. With your bottom line, it depends on which bottom line is broken first. At least he is safe before breaking through the bottom line. The time difference between this is the biggest variable. You have not arrived yet.

There is no way to retreat.”

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiyi did not dare to take a step. The last incident at Yangguan made him fully realize Lu Chenlong's dominance, and also made him fully realize that between him and Lu Chenlong, the old man was more willing to sacrifice him.

Seeing the old man descending from the mountain, Liu Xiyi took a symbolic step to greet him.

"Old sir, he doesn't,,,"?

The old man held his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Better than imagined, and worse than imagined."

Liu Xiyi didn't quite understand the old man's meaning, but he didn't continue to ask again.

"Sir, there are two things I want to report to you."

The old man nodded, "Tell me."

Liu Xiyi said: "The bait we sprinkled has been harvested."

The old man raised his eyelids and the light flashed in his eyes.

Liu Xiyi continued: "One of the people we sent out is missing."

The old man's face first showed a hint of sadness, then a hint of smile. "Where is the last place he appeared?"

Liu Xiyi said: "The place where the disappearance is located is Wangchuan Town in Hebei."

The old man was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it sure he disappeared there?"

Liu Xiyi said: "He is the vanguard we train, rich and experienced. To facilitate us

He grasped his whereabouts. Whenever he passed by a place, he would show his face in a surveillance place and also show up among the local crowd. He went north and his whereabouts were very clear. He only stayed in Linshui Town for one night.

Then the next day, he walked from Linshui Town to Hebei. The people sent to investigate were hacked into the local area and asked the local people, and they confirmed that the place where he finally disappeared was Wangchuan Town in Hebei."

The old man nodded and said nothing.

The old man didn't say anything, and Liu Xiyi didn't continue to say that he was giving the old man enough time to think.

The two of them walked slowly along the mountain road. After more than ten minutes, the old man suddenly asked: "How far is that place from Tianjing?"

Liu Xiyi said: "Three hundred and fifty kilometers, four hours of driving."

The old man was silent for a long time again and said, "It's not far from Tianjing, nor close, it's just right."

Liu Xiyi nodded, "Yes, they are very good at choosing positions."

The old man stopped and murmured: "It's so smooth."

Liu Xiyi knew that the old man was very cautious, and then said, "Old sir, I suggest sending someone to investigate secretly. Recently, we have made too many moves in the financial field, and there are many signs on the surface. Some people are following our actions to collect data and

If it is them, then there is a secret team in the background to analyze data. Although we have created a strict vulnerability protection system, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of secrets."

The old man nodded, "Send the A person to come here, report to me as soon as possible if you have any information."

Liu Xiyi nodded and said, "Lu Shanmin has been in frequent activities after returning to Tianjing."

The old man asked, "Do you know where he has been?"

Liu Xiyi shook his head, "His realm is different now, especially Hai Dongqing, who has mostly entered the transformation of Qi. With the martial arts realm of the two of them, unless the old man personally follows them, they will deliberately avoid it, and they

The anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and it is difficult for our people to grasp their whereabouts throughout the process."

The old man asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Xiyi said: "Although the two of them have a high level of martial arts, many things cannot be solved by the level of martial arts. Without the financial support from the East China Sea, they are just rushing around like headless flies. Even if there are those who swear loyalty to the death.

With the background of those people under his command, they can only wander around the periphery and will not act as a great threat to us."

Liu Xiyi said this without any intention of being arrogant or looking down on Lu Shanmin. The battle of this war is so high and wide that it involves, which is definitely not something that Lu Shanmin can do.

The old man said lightly: "You can't be too careless. You still need to follow up regularly. You can't grasp the specific whereabouts. At least you have to know roughly what he is doing."

The old man asked again: "How is the aftermath of Yunshuijian going on?"

Liu Xiyi nodded, "We have cleaned up all our own people. Their identities are all given by the organization. No one will notice it after disappearing for a year or two. The trouble is those who we have worked with, if you are afraid of killing them.

It will attract the attention of the police and not deal with it. They also have some clues about us."

The old man asked: "What are the consequences of the clues they have, the worst ones," he said.

Liu Xiyi was silent for a moment and said, "A rough estimate will result in a considerable number of people, especially those at the front desk. These people are talents we have cultivated over the years by spending countless resources. They are involved in all walks of life and are all commercial.

the elite”.
