Chapter 394: Overflowing and Powerless Compassion Is Nothing But False

Both of them were dressed in black robes, and one was wearing a bamboo hat. Judging from her slender figure, she was a woman, and beside her stood a tall man with a handsome face.

Yang Jiao naturally knew who they were because he was familiar with the plot.

That woman planned to return to the Yiyue Clan for help back then, but she never appeared again in Jing Lan'an.

And this young man is the leader of the Yiyue Clan's Moon Shadow Guard, which has been the top combat force that has defended the Yiyue Clan for generations.

Suddenly, Li Susu seemed to see something interesting. He pulled Yang Jiao to a hawker's stall and asked aloud:

"Tantai Jin, look, what is this?"

In this world, both to Yang Jiao himself and to this other person, many objects in the market are extremely unfamiliar.

However, Yang Jiao took a look at the stall, saw its shape and arrangement, and said:

"A whistle."

When the vendor heard this, he laughed and said:

"Young Master is not entirely right. This is called a mud whistle."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a clay whistle and blew it.

"Hush!"

When Li Susu saw this, he laughed out of curiosity, but immediately glanced at Yang Jiao and said to himself:

"That's not right. I have lived in the mountains for a long time, so it is normal for me not to recognize it. But the little devil has been a prisoner since he was a child. How could he recognize this toy?"

Yang Jiao turned his eyes, read her thoughts, and said as if no one else was watching:

"Looking at this, many children are holding clay whistles in the streets and alleys. I think anyone who is not a fool can probably understand what kind of toy this is."

Li Susu couldn't tell that he was mocking himself.

"Tantai Jin, you"

Yang Jiao was the first to interrupt:

"If you want to buy it, buy it quickly and don't delay other people's business."

Li Susu scratched him, as if he wanted to grow two knives and stab him to death.

"Hmph, just buy it."

Then, the two of them continued shopping.

During the period, Ye Qingyu was even discovered visiting the temple fair with a very beautiful and charming woman.

Li Susu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that her brother, the governor of the family, who was not hypocritical, had such a side.

Yang Jiao still looked indifferent to this. This woman was a nine-tailed demon fox with two broken tails.

Afterwards, Li Susu took Yang Jiao shopping around until the afternoon. Then he suddenly had a whim and wanted to make some new sets of clothes for the people in his house, so he went to a clothing store.

But Yang Jiao just stood outside the store, with no intention of getting in and getting involved.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and light snow began to fall.

Li Susu’s nagging voice kept ringing in the store:

"This one is just right for grandma, this one is for dad, I want this one too, Chuntao is just right for it, and the shopkeeper is packing it all up."

"Let me think about it, what else is missing?"

"By the way, there's also Ye Zeyu."

Not long after, I saw Li Susu shouting outside:

"Tantai Jin, come in quickly."

Yang Jiao stood there and replied lightly:

"If you want to buy me a new set of clothes, then you don't have to."

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, and another angry word came:

"Smug."

It was tea time again, and Li Susu's voice came from outside the house again:

"Shopkeeper, these clothes have been packed and will be sent to General Ye's Mansion when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, Miss Ye Er, walk slowly."

Then, as soon as Li Susu went out, he walked away on his own.

Yang Jiao followed him unhurriedly without saying a word.

At the same time, the sky became completely dark.

The two of them walked side by side on the way back home.

"Firecrackers! Who wants firecrackers?"

Suddenly, on the increasingly sparse and deserted streets, bursts of feeble, slightly hoarse and old cries could be heard.

When Li Susu heard the sound, he immediately stopped and walked over quickly with a trace of unbearable expression on his face.

"Auntie, sell me all the firecrackers in your basket."

The old woman seemed unable to believe it. She first looked at her deeply, then looked at the firecracker in her hand, and said politely with some embarrassment:

"My firecrackers are handmade by myself. They don't look very good."

Li Susu smiled lightly:

"It doesn't matter, I like this. How much does it cost?"

The old woman held the basket in front of Li Susu:

"Give me thirty coins."

She seemed to think the price was too high and quickly changed her words:

"No, no, no, you give me twenty coins, twenty coins is enough."

However, Li Susu handed over a bag of copper coins in his hand, and then took the basket full of firecrackers:

"Here, ma'am."

After saying that, she turned around and left. The old woman waved in disbelief:

"No, no, no, girl, you can't do this!"

But when she saw Li Susu turning his back on him and leaving quickly, she burst into tears with joy:

"I met the living Bodhisattva."

Yang Jiao, who was not far away, looked at Li Susu's series of actions and didn't say much, but just followed her again.

Li Susu glanced at Yang Jiao who was following him, and couldn't help but say:

"Aren't you curious at all? Do you want to ask something?"

Yang Jiao asked back:

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that the bag of copper coins can't help her at all? Or are you saying that you are giving alms condescendingly to someone like you, who is like a poor, hungry, foodless puppy?"

When Li Susu heard this, she was furious. She was obviously just being kind-hearted, and her eyebrows stood up:

"It's so cold. If we sell out earlier, we can go home earlier to celebrate the New Year."

"I know it's all sold out today, and tomorrow she will still be out in the cold and selling it, but there might be people like me who take advantage of her tomorrow."

"Besides, since I happened to meet him and it was within my power, I naturally helped him as much as I could. There was no condescending charity."

Yang Jiao said quietly:

"If all the poor people in the world have to live by chance, then for them, what is the difference between the world and hell."

Li Susu was stunned, as if he remembered something, and whispered sadly:

"There is endless pain in this world and I can't change anything."

Yang Jiao's eyes were like a bottomless pool, as if everything in the world was in his eyes:

"Really? Don't you really know that the method of cultivating the ruthless way that you possess seems to be forgetful of love and righteousness, but in fact its main purpose is boundless love?"

"Only by not being limited to small feelings and small loves, but by looking at the deep love of an individual to all living beings in the four continents and three realms, and truly understanding what great love is, can you truly succeed in cultivation and achieve the Tao."

"I'm afraid that if I can be promoted to the realm of the true god you mentioned at the beginning, I will surely have the great power of God to love the world."

"At that point, do you really feel like you can't change anything?"

Li Susu was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that the little devil had such a thorough understanding of the ruthless way. However, when he recalled that when he taught him the spell technique before, he inadvertently showed a terrifying understanding of knowing everything, and he felt that it was natural.

Yang Jiao put his hands behind his back, his expression always calm:

"I'm telling you this. To sum up, it's just teaching people to fish instead of giving them fish. Overflowing and powerless compassion is nothing but false and can't change anything at all."

He paused slightly and looked at Li Susu with a pair of eyes as cold as black jade:

"New Year's Eve is a festival that welcomes the new year. It is celebrated by princes and nobles as well as poor people. Although this festival can comfort people's hearts, the cold and ruthless world of the world makes people feel even more chilled."

"Tell me, if you had the power to change everything, would you like to make the world no longer painful and unfair?"

"I also wonder whether the so-called eternal peace is really so elusive."
