Hong Ran chuckled, "What's the difference? Entering evil means entering evil, there is no difference."

Lu An thought about it and found that he had never seen anyone else get into evil, so he didn't continue to defend himself. However, he suddenly thought of what Hong Ran said before, "You said the same kind of person before? Could it be that you have also got into evil?"

Hong Ran smiled slightly, "Or why do you think I became like this?" After saying that, he pointed to his eyes.

Even under the reflection of the bonfire, these pair of fire-riding eyes make people feel particularly weird.

Lu An could only cooperate and nodded without saying anything.

The two of them suddenly became silent, and no one spoke. The scene suddenly fell into tranquility, leaving only the snoring of Lao Lin and the donkey, which was lingering.

After a long quiet time, Lu An suddenly asked, "Will I be the same as you in the future?"

Hong Ran hummed softly, "If you want to be like me, then you will have no home, no friends, and no feelings."

"The price?" Lu An asked.

Hong Ran smiled and shook his head, "It's not the price, it's the best result." His tone was relaxed and slightly bitter.

"How could that happen?" Lu An asked back in confusion.

Hong Ran replied slowly: "I said before that the best result is to hide your identity, spend your life honestly in a small place, put away your ambitions, and give up your avenue. This is the safest for you. By the way, I also hope that the people of Taiyi Sect will not discover you. This is the best choice for you. If you choose to become like me, then I can only tell you that the best choice is to have but not have it. In short, it is to give up."

"Why?" Lu An was still puzzled.

"Why? Because the path you will walk next will make you less and less like you. You will hurt everyone's hearts. When you wake up, it will be too late to regret it." Hong Ran explained.

Lu An silently stopped talking.

Hong Ran continued on his own: "My life is better than you, but even so, I still paid a huge price to reappear in front of the world. This price is so great that I will make me tremble when I think about it, but this price is not affordable by everyone. You can't, and you don't have the qualification."

Lu An originally planned to ask questions and continue asking, but seeing Hong Ran's confused eyes, Lu An immediately gave up the idea and said to himself:

"I used to be a soldier on the city, and I finally survived, but after I survived, I realized that some things in this world are very important, even more important than living."

"A string of candied haws, a book, a title, a tael of silver, I owe them, or they owe me. What a pity, according to what you say, wouldn't I be able to pay it back, and I won't be able to get it back?"

"Later I met my master. He pulled me out of my fate step by step, giving me a second life. Unfortunately, I now know that my life is not in my own hands, but I have been walking towards the road they expected. Why is this road different from what I expected? It is so difficult?"

"For the past six months, I followed the old and the young, slowly walked from the Han Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Along the way, what they did, said and learned, I saw the word "real scholar" in them. It was covered with a rough cloth and had a beautiful life. Maybe the elders of the past wanted me to be like that while holding the sword, right?"

"It's a pity that the previous thing made me realize again. Sometimes, the sword in my hand is more useful. Some things may not work by just talking about it, because you may encounter a mute, no matter how much knowledge you have, no matter how many Zhihu people are, they will only spit you a mouthful of saliva in his mouth. Only the sword energy in his hand can make you explain the truth to him."

"To be honest, it's not as fun as stealing a chicken..."

When Hong Ran heard the word "dumb", he couldn't help laughing, looking at Lu An and shook his head, "If Zu Qiu heard these words, it would be strange if he didn't kill you."

Lu An also smiled, "Think about it now, the sword in his hand is very important, and the book in his arms is also very important."

Hong Ran suddenly smiled and said, "The fist of a sword cultivator should not be soft, and the sword of a scholar should not be hard. It may be the same principle." After saying that, Hong Ran suddenly fell into deep thought, and a smile of memories appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Listening to this, Lu An couldn't help but look at Hong Ran in front of him with admiration. He, who had always been very rude, could even say such words.

"I've been taught." Lu An said sincerely.

Hong Ran frowned and said with great displeasure: "Stop doing this, I'm annoying!"

Lu An immediately timid and nodded quickly.

"By the way, I'll remind you another word, Lao Lin is really accurate in fortune-telling!" Hong Ran said solemnly.

Lu An frowned for a moment, but slowly showed a hint of relief. He nodded, rather than believing in existence or not!

......

Lu An and Hong Ran stood together, looking at the caravan not far away, behind them was a donkey holding Lao Lin.

"You said you had a message to tell me, what is the news?" Lu An asked suddenly.

Hong Ran hesitated for a moment and asked back: "Are you sure you want to listen? This is not good news."

"Since it's me, I'd better listen. If it's related to me, I'll know it sooner or later. It's better to know it earlier." Lu An thought for a while and said.

Hong Ran's expression became serious in an instant, "I don't know whether it is true or not. There is news that I understand that it seems to be dead."

Hearing this sentence, Lu An instantly turned his head towards Hong Ran, frowned directly, and then looked at him straight.

Hong Ran nodded, and did not continue to stimulate Lu An with words.

Lu An felt his heartbeat faster and faster, and the sound of gasping became louder. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he opened and closed it again. His chest felt like it was blocked by something. Lu An felt very uncomfortable. After scratching it twice, he was still very uncomfortable. Lu An thumped it twice, and the feeling of blocking his chest immediately became much more comfortable, but he felt a salty smell in his mouth.

Lu An shook his head and smiled bitterly twice, sucking his nose, and his eyes widened as hard as possible to prevent something from falling down.

Lu An wanted to restrain his emotions as much as possible, but his body could not control it. His hands, which could not be placed, were pinched together tightly, even his fingers turned white, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Hong Ran ignored Lu An's changes and comforted him, "You can choose the next path yourself. If you are not lucky, we may meet again." Then he turned around and left directly.

Lu An nodded, took a deep breath, and said in an extremely low tone: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Hong Ran stopped immediately after taking two steps, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to walk forward until he disappeared into Lu An's eyes.

Lu An took a deep breath again, stood up to the sky for a long time, suppressed his trembling body, and slowly walked forward...
