Chapter 704 The old man
Ning Caichen knew that today, the court was in chaos, all officials were incompetent, and the emperor was incompetent, and he had seen many foolish things in normal times, but this was the first time that the constable and the constable arrested people without any concerns.
"How did this country look like this?"
After he was sent to prison, he was a little confused: "The army has acted as a killer and a good man, and even the constable has acted as a prisoner? In this way, the country will not be defeated, and the country will be overturned!"
He was a scholar who read books of sages on weekdays and cultivated his righteousness in his heart. He wanted to enter the court to clear away the chaos in the court and restore peace to the world. Therefore, he was preparing to study and get fame.
He knew that the court was dark and all officials were unjust, but he did not expect that it would be so dark and that the lower-level officials were so violent and unscrupulous!
After entering the prison, I heard the cry of injustice beside me, and the shrill person who asked for help, and the heart for the country and the people in my heart was suddenly cold: "Is there any saving in this country? Even if I pass the exam, what can I do?"
When he was discouraged and desperate, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice sounding from behind him: "What can you do? What can you do as a poor scholar? Today, monsters are rampant, gentlemen know their fate, and staying away from the court is the way to protect themselves. Do you still want to get fame and fortune? Bah! It's like a stupid pig!"
Ning Caichen was stunned and turned around. He saw a dirty man lying on the pile of thatched trees behind him. The man was dressed in a torn dress and had a disheveled face. He couldn't tell how old he was for a while, but he only heard the sound. He should be quite old and should be an old man.
At this time, the old man was piling his hands behind his head, crossing his legs, and his feet were shaking, looking extremely leisurely and at ease. The sound of his speech just now came from his mouth.
Seeing Ning Caichen looking at him, the disheveled man shouted: "What are you looking at? Stupid pig! You still want to get a good fortune at this time? You can't escape even if you dive in. You're so arrogant to take your stupid pig!"
Ning Caichen said angrily: "Brother, you are too insulting to speak like this! What can you say well? Why scold others!"
The man opposite snorted, "What's wrong with scolding you? Idiot! Ignorance! Now the court is obviously wrong, with awesome spirit and no prosperity at all. The upright people die, few people die well, and many people die unjustly. The top and bottom collude and get along with each other, where can good people be there? If you pass the exam, you will either kill them, be killed by them, or join them!"
He laughed and said, "Which path do you choose? With your ability, you will definitely not be able to kill them. If you join them, it is possible to be killed by them. Hehe, how do you choose?"
Ning Caichen said, "Is there no other way?"
The man opposite smiled and said, "There is still a way, it is best to walk and the wisest."
Ning Caichen asked, "What is it?"
The man said, "Stay away from them!"
Ning Caichen was silent for a moment, walked over to the man, and asked softly: "Senior, I heard you speak appropriately and seem to be very familiar with the court. I wonder how you were arrested in this prison? Was it also framed by them?"
The old man said, "I am born to be in jail!"
Ning Caichen Daqi: "How do you say this?"
The real old man said, "When I was young, I was always noble and looked down upon by anyone. I thought I was as talented as Zhuge Wolong, so I entered the court and wanted to help the world and show my ambitions. But after entering the court, I saw that the filth was everywhere and the stinky smell was not heard. In order to protect myself, I could only think of getting out of here and no longer the idea of the court."
He said to Ning Caichen: "Later I thought that in life, I had to leave something behind, otherwise it would be too sad to have a name and name in this world. So I prepared to write a book and leave some thoughts for future generations."
Ning Caichen asked, "Why were you locked up here again?"
The old man scolded: "Damn it! Didn't I say that, I'm going to jail!"
"I wrote a travel note on mountains and rivers, and the government said that I leaked state secrets.
I write strange and ancient stories, and I also say that I lead superstitious people.
I annotated the military books and said that I had made ill-gotten plans and wanted to rebel.
I wrote a biography of a celebrity, but I didn't expect that this celebrity lost power again, which made me imprisoned and imprisoned.
I will go to jail once if I write a book. Do you think this is not born to jail, or what?"
He said this and sighed: "In fact, living here is not bad! Because I have some involvement with some people, they dare not treat me too slowly. The place is pure, except for the occasional death of individuals, and it is nothing else. It is convenient for me to write something! Besides, this world is originally a big prison, and after being out of this prison, it is just an entry into a larger prison! Living here is not much different from living outside!"
Seeing that he was so sad, Ning Caichen thought about it and said with a smile: "Although the world is a big prison, there are no one who has escaped from this prison."
The old man opposite was stunned: "Escape from the world? How to escape? Become a god? What a joke! If there are really gods in this world, why are ghosts still rampant? Will there be no gods coming out to take care of them? Or is this god not a good thing? They are also in the same group as monsters?"
Ning Caichen said: "As the saying goes, one day in the sky, one year on the earth, maybe the gods in the sky don't know the tragic things in the human world, or maybe the gods are so proud that they are far away from the world and are too lazy to care about our lives and death! Senior, I just met two gods, one of them is a swordsman who confesses to being a sword cultivator, and the other is a hero who eliminates violence and keeps good. It's amazing! I just drank a glass of wine yesterday, and when I woke up, I killed several zombies!"
The old man opposite looked at Ning Caichen with a look of a madman and looked at Ning Caichen: "You even killed the zombies? Are you crazy? What a joke! Where are there zombies in this world?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ning Caichen thought about it and came to the wall of the prison. His palm was close to the wall. He pushed it slightly, and immediately pushed the wall into a depression, almost directly pushing a hole.
He withdrew his hands and laughed in a low voice: "Senior, I was still an ordinary person yesterday, and I already had such strength today, and this is just because I drank a glass of wine. I didn't believe that there were gods and demons in this world before, but today, when I saw zombies, I suddenly changed so much. I believe that the sayings of immortals and gods are true!"
The old man was shocked when he saw him pushing him casually: "Good guy! You are a master of internal kung fu, I know! I have met Zuo Qianhu several times with the court. His skills are even better than you. He has a few flying knives on his back and has the courage of ten thousand men to be unworthy. As a result, he is still depressed and unsuccessful. He has only been a thousand households and has never been promoted."
Ning Caichen said: "Internal Kung Fu? I'm just a little more powerful, but not some internal Kung Fu. I haven't learned Kung Fu! I just drank a glass of wine."
The old man on the ground suddenly bent down and sat up, shouting, "Didn't you lie to me?"
Ning Caichen said: "Why did I lie to you when I first met?"
The old man said, "Okay, okay! So there are really gods in this world? Where are they? Take me to see them!"
Ning Caichen said: "We are now in prison, how can we go out to meet them?"
The old man said, "Idiot! If you have such great strength, can this prison trap you?"
Ning Caichen suddenly realized: "I forgot this! However, I ran away without being tried by the prefect, so I really became a fugitive?"
