The elixir glowed faintly under the moonlight. Xie Tiannan looked at the elixir, swallowed, and licked his lower lip, feeling a little resistant.

He glanced at Zhanxu, but Zhanxu was looking into the distance with a wine glass in his hand, as if he was drinking against the wind.

Xie Tiannan sighed. Zhan Xu has always been careful. Although he has been infected with the blood of the Xiangliu clan, he still doesn't trust him. If it were him, he would probably do the same thing.

Xie Tiannan thought for a while, then he could only pick up the elixir on the table and eat it in one bite.

"When you return safely, if I successfully enter Chang'an, you and I will sit together in the world from now on!"

Zhan Xu glanced at Xie Tiannan who was struggling to swallow the pill, nodded with a smile, and poured a glass of wine for Xie Tiannan.

"You don't have any extravagant expectations to be able to share the world with your young master. Being able to serve your young master is your blessing." Xie Tiannan suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and said with cupped fists.

Even though he was reluctant in every way, he could only choose to obey now that he was under someone else's care.

Moreover, it was obvious that Zhan Xu had murderous intentions towards him.

Although Zhan Xu had cut off Xuanyuan Rende's legs just now, Xie Tiannan could see that Zhan Xu did not want to kill Xuanyuan Rende. After all, Xuanyuan Rende was still of some use to him; but now, he is in danger

, Zhan Xu has already had murderous intentions.

Xie Tiannan frowned. He was able to survive and live a prosperous life because of the method of arranging the fairy music and the workshop that secretly produced the fairy music.

Of course Zhan Xu knew where the workshop was, but since Xie Tiannan had different workshops for each process, these workshops were even in the far south and north of the sea, and they didn't know each other's existence. People who worked in the workshops only knew that there was an adult paying money.

Teach them to work, but they have no idea what these things are used for and what their function is; they even don't know where the raw materials shipped come from.

Not to mention them, even Zhan Xu hasn't figured out yet. He only has a partial understanding of the production process and even the formula of this fairy music.

Divine music is a good thing, but if it is in the hands of others, a good thing may not necessarily be a good thing.

It was precisely for this reason that he had not dared to attack Xie Tiannan before. But now, he has changed his mind. He must suppress Xie Tiannan and make him feel the crisis before he reveals his flaws.

Moreover, it is now obvious that his subordinate Zhou Rusheng is not convinced by him. He only needs to help Zhou Rusheng a little to make Xie Tiannan feel the danger. Then Xie Tiannan has only two options.

One is that he is afraid that Zhou Rusheng will find out about his Shenxianle industry. If he is smarter and cannot bear the pressure, he will hand over the Shenxianle formula and related industries to himself. If he chooses this first path, then Zhan Xu will not mind

In the future, he will be reused and Zhou Rusheng will be killed by the way; and this second way is that Xie Tiannan has some differences.

Under the heavy pressure of his own heart, he still wants to set up his own business. In this case, he will definitely doubt whether there is a problem with the formula and industry of the fairy music. He will inevitably be unable to stabilize his mentality and become chaotic, and even go to investigate

Exploring the recipe, the workshop, and even the place of origin will inevitably reveal flaws, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

As long as he gets the formula of Shenxianle, he can kill Xie Tiannan directly, and the business can be handed over to Zhou Rusheng who wants to be in charge.

As Zhanxu himself said, he was never afraid of using people who were greedy for money, because only people who were greedy for money were easy for him to manage.

And all this was just as Zhan Xu expected.

Xie Tiannan was at war with heaven and man at this moment. In fact, he also understood what Zhan Xu wanted. But handing over this divine music completely would be equivalent to giving his lifeline to others. From now on, he would no longer be

Xie Tiannan is irreplaceable, but Xie Tiannan can be replaced by anyone.

He thought again and again, and when he wanted to speak, he closed his mouth again.

Putting your destiny in the hands of others is really not a good choice.

Zhan Xu tilted his head slightly, naturally noticing Xie Tiannan's troubled expression, and smiled slightly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If nothing happens, get ready to go. By the way, I'm afraid Xuanyuan Rende can't move now. Before you leave, you have to make arrangements for King Jin. Their older generation came down from the battlefield.

Man, I don’t expect to be able to use it

Shenxianle can control them. Also, if you talk to King Jin more, you can learn more about his life and some of his personal secrets. Maybe these things can save you when you go to Chang'an to see Qi Fengjia.

Your life."

Zhan Xu's voice was genuine, as if he was really concerned about Xie Tiannan.

Xie Tiannan nodded, turned and left. He would definitely have to pay a visit to King Jin's place. He knew that although Zhan Xu had murderous intentions towards him, it was just to force him to hand over the Immortal Music to him. He also

I don't want to die in Chang'an if I don't succeed in my affairs, and then my efforts will be in vain.

Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Xie Tiannan saw Xuanyuan Rende being carried by Li Zhongxian.

After thinking about it, he walked over to the two of them and helped Li Zhongxian support Xuanyuan Rende a little. He even didn't care that his luxurious clothes were stained with blood.

It's not that Xie Tiannan is very kind-hearted, but seeing Xuanyuan Rende's current appearance, I feel as if the rabbit has died and the fox has died.

Moreover, Zhan Xu dealt with Xuanyuan Rende first, which was not without the intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Xuanyuan Rende took a deep breath, and with a pale face, he tilted his head with great effort, looked at Xie Tiannan, and asked angrily: "Xie Tian... Nan, he didn't... didn't... what did he do to you?

Bar?"

Although Xuanyuan Rende stabbed Xie Tiannan in the back, now the situation between the two of them is not optimistic, and they are in the same camp, so everything in the past has disappeared like a passing cloud.

"Not yet." Xie Tiannan gave a bitter smile and added, "However, my situation is not much better than yours. We are all the same people in the world!"

Immediately afterwards, Xie Tiannan told him what Zhan Xu had told him.

While talking, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"It seems that he... wants to attack you. Although I... have no legs, I am still useful to him. He... he will not kill me." Xuanyuan Rende said intermittently, although at this time

He was about to faint from the pain, but his mind was still clear.

"Who says it's not?" Xie Tiannan coughed twice, then rubbed his head and took out a small spanner from his arms.

"Here are some of my personal savings. You can take it to any major bank and withdraw some silver. Take good care of your health first. But remember, if the bank asks for your name, just fill in Zhou Rusheng. After you and I meet each other this time,

, I don’t know what year or month it will be when we meet again, let alone whether we can see each other again. This time of farewell, life or death is unpredictable! This small gift can be regarded as a legacy."

Normally, Xuanyuan Rende would not accept this thing, but now the two of them are in danger, and Xie Tiannan's words are sincere. The most important thing is that after this incident, he left Zhanxu to start his own business.

The idea became more and more intense.

And this money can provide him with great help!

"Thank you very much. I hope Brother Xie can return safely this time."

A smile appeared on Xuanyuan Rende's face, he said softly, and then asked Li Zhongxian to put away the little finger.

Xie Tiannan clasped his fists at the two of them and said goodbye, then asked them to go find a doctor quickly. But he himself turned around and headed towards the private cell.

The night was a bit dark, and King Jin lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

A few days ago, he was beaten until he was numb, and he fell asleep after returning to the prison; now that he had been beaten clean, the blood scabs that had long solidified melted away again, and the wounds all over his body were cleaned, and he suddenly felt relieved.

The pain made it difficult for him to sleep.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, King Jin couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up.

Coincidentally, Xie Tiannan also walked in, and the two of them asked people to cook some food and brought some drinks.

The wine and food were ready, and the two of them sat opposite each other, just eating with their heads down, without any communication at all.

Naturally, Prince Jin would not be the first to speak, and he and Xie Tiannan had nothing to talk about. It was just that during this long night, the two people who could not sleep happened to become drinking partners.

The sky turned white, and the dishes on the table were changed. Xie Tiannan, who had been silent at first, suddenly said: "Prince Jin, I have a question, and I would like to ask you."

"Please tell me." King Jin could tell that Xie Tiannan had something on his mind, so he said with a smile.

Xie Tiannan hesitated for a moment, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Prince Jin sincerely, seeming to have made a great determination.

"Tell me, is it true what the Buddhists say about 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately?' There is still a boundless sea of ​​suffering. Is it true that when you look back, you will finally reach the shore?",

King Jin looked at Xie Tiannan and narrowed his eyes.

As soon as Xie Tiannan finished speaking, he knew what Xie Tiannan meant, and even roughly guessed what happened.

If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely tell Xie Tiannan that he "can", and then persuade Xie Tiannan to put it down and persuade him to correct his evil ways.

But in King Jin's view, this was a scam.

He thought for a while and was having a fierce debate in his heart. Finally he raised his head and asked slowly: "Have you seen the temple?"

Xie Tiannan nodded.

"Then do you think that when people go to temples to pray to God and worship Buddha, do they really believe in Buddhism? What they want is nothing more than promotion and wealth, and safety for their families. What exactly are they praying for when they go to worship Buddha?"

King Jin looked into his eyes and asked. When Xie Tiannan heard this, his eyes dodge a little and he did not dare to look at King Jin.

"For those people, I don't understand, and I don't understand. Are they worshiping Buddha or their own desires? Just like you are saying to put down the butcher's knife now, someone is raising a bigger butcher's knife towards you. You

Do you want to seek asylum, or do you really realize your past mistakes?"

"I can't see through this. Just like some people, they say there is no Buddha, and the sword in their hands is stained with blood, but they are calm in their hearts, know their sense of proportion, have great aspirations in their hearts, set an example, and treat all living beings as equals;

But some people talk about worshiping Buddha, but they build temples and amass wealth. On the surface, they appear to be solemn, but secretly they are engaged in the business of men stealing and women prostituted. These things are not uncommon."

"If you want to ask me whether you can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife, my answer is yes. But those who put down the butcher's knife must have become a Buddha because they have thoroughly understood the principles of Buddhism. If you ask me, there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering, and there is no way to turn back.

There is no shore, and my answer is yes. If you really let go, the sea leading to the shore will naturally be golden and peaceful. But if you turn back because the road ahead is difficult, there will be no shore when you look back, only blood and tears."

Xie Tiannan chewed these words carefully, suddenly smiled, and raised his wine glass towards Prince Jin.

"Thank you, I understand."

The King of Jin did not ask him what he knew anymore. He continued: "Now Zhan Xu wants to take advantage of Xu Chang'an's serious injury and Chang'an's emptiness to gather a force to attack Huanglong. And I want to return to Chang'an first,

Use your safety to deceive Qi Fengjia out, and I will go there personally to mobilize the forces of the Ministry of Punishment in Chang'an. If these forces are gone, then Chang'an..."

"It's what Zhanxu has in his pocket..." King Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said with heartache.
To be continued...
