Chapter 653: Only when you have no desires and no demands can you become a god
Hai Shang City, Tao Family.
Chen Xiao quickly descended from the clouds and landed in the Tao family courtyard.
"Who?"
The guards in the courtyard shouted and rushed towards Chen Xiao with their swords drawn.
"It's me, Chen Xiao." Chen Xiao said.
The guard was stunned: "Master Chen Xiao? Why are you here? Weren't you just here..."
Just a few minutes ago, the guard heard that Chen Xiao was fighting a fierce battle with the black-clothed hero in the west of the city.
Why did Chen Xiao arrive at the Tao Family Courtyard just as quickly as he turned around?
Could it be that the hero in black has been dealt with?
It's so fast. Master Chen Xiao is indeed the second master in Haishang City... The guard couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Xiao asked: "Is Mr. Tao Jie in the house?"
The guard respectfully replied: "My servants and I don't know the master's whereabouts. Mr. Chen Xiao, you can ask the city lord."
The current city lord of Hai Shang City is named Tao Qi, and she is one of the few female city lords.
Her father, Tao Jie, is the most powerful person in Haishang City and the only level 45 person in Haishang City - Tao Jie.
Tao Jie has not been seen in public for a long time, and no one knows his whereabouts.
Perhaps in the entire Hai Shang City, only the city lord Tao Qi knew where her father was.
The guard's answer was within Chen Xiao's expectation.
He nodded slightly, soared into the sky, and quickly flew in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Xiao didn't notice that there was a strange-looking thing among the thick clouds, silently monitoring his every move.
………………
Hai Shopping Mall, in a small teahouse.
After hearing what Xiao Luo (calm version) said, Nanfeng was a little confused.
Kill three corpses?
Is such a metaphysical thing reliable?
As the Chosen One, we can increase our strength by hunting ferocious beasts, so there is no need to engage in such messy things.
Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, you are going astray.
"Actually, the boss's idea is not unreasonable."
Seeing that Nan Feng was dismissive of the idea of [Beheading Three Corpses], Xiao Luo (calm version) explained: "Beheading Three Corpses is to cut off one's own obsessions and not be influenced by one's own emotions."
"There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs."
"Heaven has no emotions. He will not punish humans because they have destroyed nature. Nor will he feel pity for humans because natural disasters have wiped out humans. Precisely because he has no emotions, He is the way of heaven."
"The same is true for saints. In the eyes of saints, the best brother, the strongest buddy, and the dearest lover are no different from the flowers and grass on the roadside, or the small fish and shrimps in the river. The saint will not favor anyone. Because in the heart of a saint, everything in the world is equal."
"If you want to reach the top of the world and become the most powerful existence, you must give up your emotions and your own emotions."
“Only when you have no desires and no demands can you become a god.”
The calm version is the existence closest to Xiao Luo's original will. His words basically represent Xiao Luo's own thoughts.
Perhaps, the darkened version of bewitchment was just an inducement for Xiao Luo to make this decision.
Perhaps Xiao Luo had long wanted to cut off all his clones, along with his feelings.
There are 32 voices in my head all the time, arguing, discussing, talking...
Perhaps Xiao Luo couldn't bear it for a long time.
Nanfeng looked at Xiao Luo (calm version) and said calmly: "These words just now are what you want to say to me, or are they what Xiao Luo wants to say to me?"
"Is there any difference?" Xiao Luo (calm version) said slowly, "I am Xiao Luo originally."
As he spoke, he pointed to all the clones in the teahouse: "We are all Xiao Luo."
really.
If Xiao Luo's true form has cut off all emotions and desires, he has become a machine without emotions.
In comparison, the clone in this teahouse looks more like Xiao Luo.
At the very least, they have feelings.
Nanfeng sighed and said softly: "Are you sure you want to go this way?"
Xiao Luo (calm version) hesitated for a while, then nodded.
"Since this is your own decision, I respect you." Nanfeng stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
Perhaps for Xiao Luo, becoming stronger is more important than feelings.
It was very quiet inside the teahouse.
All the clones didn't speak, they were all silently tasting the bitter and coarse tea in the cup.
After a long time, Xiao Luo (the silly version) smiled and said: "Is it true that once we die, the boss will have no feelings at all?"
"Yes." Xiao Luo (cold version) said coldly, "Besides, without the source of magic power, we will not live long and will die soon."
Xiao Luo (enthusiastic version) laughed: "It's also good. At least before we die, we can experience the world as independent, real people. Although, we are all incomplete people... "
After that, Xiao Luo (enthusiastic version) drank all the crude tea in the cup, carried a heavy bundle of firewood on his back, and walked out of the teahouse.
"Goodbye, brothers."
…………
Once upon a time, Xiao Luo was also a passionate person who often helped those in need.
Later, maybe it was a hot face but a cold butt, maybe it was laughed at, maybe there was no reward for helping others...
Xiao Luo could only bury his passion deep in his heart.
Enthusiasm is no longer his main character.
The enthusiastic version inherits this characteristic of Xiao Luo. He is not afraid of being laughed at and does not care about other people's opinions. He only enjoys the feeling of helping others.
"It's not sunny today~"
Xiao Luo (passionate version) hummed a little tune and came to the civilian area in the east of the city.
He wandered in the complicated alleys for a long time and finally stopped at the door of a house.
Dong Dong Dong.
"Auntie Zhao, are you home?"
Xiao Luo (passionate version) knocked gently on the shabby door.
The door was shaky and seemed to be at risk of collapse at any time.
Zi La...
After a harsh sound, the door was slowly opened.
Auntie Zhao, with lifeless eyes, held a lantern. After seeing the bundle of firewood on Xiao Luo's (passionate version) back, she squeezed out a smile: "It's you, young man, you come to give me firewood again..."
"Haha, yes, something delayed me today."
Xiao Luo (passionate version) walked into the room.
The house was shabby, but it was tidy.
Xiao Luo (Passionate Version) put the firewood on the ground and said, "Aunt Zhao, these firewoods are enough for you to use for two or three days. I will send you some more in two days."
"Thank you... Thank you..."
Aunt Zhao's voice was a little choked.
"My son and daughter-in-law were frozen to death, and my husband was eaten by a ferocious beast when he was chopping wood a few days ago."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I would have frozen to death long ago."
As she said this, Aunt Zhao was about to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Luo (Passionate Version).
But Passionate Version supported her in time: "Aunt Zhao, there's no need to perform such a great ceremony, it's just a small favor."
At this time, a little girl of five or six years old came out of the room inside.
The little girl was frozen red, with two snots hanging from her nose and chilblains all over her hands.
She looked at Passionate Version and laughed happily: "Big brother, you're here again."
"Yes, I'm here again." Looking at the little girl's very healing smile, Passionate Version also laughed.
"By the way, big brother, I still don't know your name?" The little girl suddenly asked.
She wanted to remember the name of this big brother who had always helped her in her heart forever.
What's my name...
Xiao Luo (passionate version) suddenly fell silent.
Yes, what's my name?
Am I an independent person, or Xiao Luo's clone?
No, none of these...
"My name is Xiao Luo." The passionate version said with a smile.
