Shen Xingzhu closed her eyes, raised her hand and calmly took off her black dress that had already been soaked in blood.
The female practitioners in Cangyuan are not bound by such strict dogmas, otherwise they would have to marry off seven or eight times after each battle... But the moral values that have lasted for tens of thousands of years cannot be changed easily.
Although being naked may not have anything to do with morality, it is ultimately a blasphemy for the people of Cangyuan.
Although the clothes are different, the principles are similar. With Shen Xingzhu's intelligence, he can understand it after a little thought.
Otherwise she wouldn't have understood how to use a pistol so quickly.
After Shen Xingzhu changed her clothes, she understood how to use the zipper of her jacket, but after thinking about it, she didn't zip it up.
Chen Kuang turned his head and looked at the hip-hop girl in front of him with a subtle expression.
Apart from his overly cold and detached expression, Shen Xingzhu has undoubtedly integrated into the overall background of the Earth.
Chen Kuang couldn't help but think, if it was Shen Meinan who was here now, he would probably like this outfit very much, right?
Shen Xingzhu changed his shoes and socks, and subconsciously wanted to adjust his sword, but then he remembered that he had already given his sword to Chen Kuang.
She put down her hand, stood up and said:
"What should we do next?"
Chen Kuang walked outside: "Let's take a look around first."
Shen Xingzhu did not refute and followed Chen Kuang out.
She really wanted to observe what was going on in this world and why the lair of this "Devil" was completely different from what she had imagined.
No, it should be said that it has exceeded the boundaries of her imagination.
Everything in this world is completely different from Cang Yuan.
But theoretically, this is impossible, because these two worlds are clearly connected. If they are connected, how can they be completely unrelated?
Chen Kuang took an umbrella, opened it in the rain, and looked at Shen Xingzhu.
Fairy Shen glanced at him, then turned around and asked the nurse at the front desk to borrow one.
Chen Kuang smiled but said nothing.
The two of them walked one after the other in the rainy city.
Chen Kuang slowly explained everything he encountered along the way. This was not only to help Shen Xingzhu understand the world, but for him, it was also a reunion after a long separation, as if in another world.
Shen Xingzhu was silent for a long time, and finally asked the question that he was most curious about.
"Why are you so familiar with this world?"
Chen Kuang blinked: "Because... I'm from here."
Shen Xingzhu's pupils shrank.
The cold raindrops dripped down from the edge of the umbrella and splashed on her body, but it did not chill her heart at that moment.
"What? Fairy Shen is finally scared?"
Chen Kuang said with a grin:
"I'm afraid I'm really a 'Demon'. Everything I said before was just revenge to tease you. In reality, you're the only foolish Cangyuan native in this strange world."
He said quietly:
"No one knows where you come from, and no one will help you. From the moment you arrived here, you are destined to become an unclaimed body in the corner."
"Seven days. In seven days, Cangyuan will be occupied by the 'Demon of Heaven'. From then on, all the people will be devastated and the place will be reduced to ruins."
Shen Xingzhu stood there motionless, his knuckles pale as he gripped the umbrella handle.
Chen Kuang paused and said:
"It's really strange. I originally thought that your path should be the 'Path of Killing', the 'Path of Ruthlessness' or something like that, but it seems that you care so much about Cang Yuan."
Shen Xingzhu asked, "Are you testing me?"
Chen Kuang shrugged: "Not really, I am indeed from here, and it has only been half a year since I arrived in Cangyuan."
"But actually, I don't know what I am. Anyway, I'm not in the same group as those disgusting things."
He said softly, "Since you and I are cooperating, I naturally want to ascertain your true thoughts."
Shen Xingzhu snorted coldly and said lightly:
"Do you know what 'ruthless' means?"
Chen Kuang shook his head.
In this world, everyone can forge a foundation of Taoism called "ruthlessness".
But what kind of answer to give to heaven and earth is the answer unique to the person who has attained enlightenment.
Shen Xingzhu said:
“Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. Sages are unkind, treating the people as straw dogs.”
"Is the space between heaven and earth like a bellows? Empty but unyielding, yet ever moving, it releases more. To hear too much and know too much is not as good as to remain in the middle."
The girl looked out at the endless rain and night sky and said calmly, "This is called ruthlessness."
Chen Kuang's pupils constricted.
As the holder of the "Time" Avenue, he could feel that at this moment, there was a flash of the aura of the Avenue on Shen Xingzhu's body!
The saying "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs" certainly does not mean that heaven and earth treat all things as dogs, or that saints treat the people as dogs.
Rather, heaven and earth are of a different kind from all things, and therefore treat all things equally as ordinary things, allowing them to survive or perish on their own without intervening.
Her way is to let everything grow and operate naturally, endlessly.
This is Shen Xingzhu's "ruthlessness".
But the premise is that this world follows its own rules and no one breaks it.
Therefore, Shen Xingzhu's "ruthless way" and "keeping to the middle" actually means becoming the maintainer of this rule and making it stable.
Chen Kuang was shocked.
Shen Xingzhu is no longer proving the Tao...she is simply trying to become the Tao itself!
Chen Kuang recalled the time when they first met.
Shen Xingzhu blamed Chen Kuang for the heavy casualties caused by the prolonged confrontation between the two armies outside the imperial city and the failure to capture the city.
She believed that it was Chen Kuang's delaying tactic of delaying Li Hongling for seven days that led to this situation.
