Although they decided to set off for Qianlinhui, everyone could not leave immediately.
Jiang Li had to find a way to put Chi Bijiang's body in place first, so that after saving her spirit, she would not have nowhere to put it. Hongluo Town was a mess, and there were not many people who could be trusted. He thought of the place where he lived before. The shopkeeper of the medicine hall took Chi Bijiang to find him, and went to buy some cinnabar huangjing and other items, in order to draw talismans and seals and set up an array to defend against the enemy.
He walked in a hurry, his face no longer had the usual smile, he was holding Chi Bijiang, who didn't know about personnel, in his arms, his back seemed to have a heavy burden, and his steps were heavy.
Yao Wangnian finally found the truth about his enemy after years of searching. Seeing that the decisive battle was imminent, his heart that should have been happy was never relieved. Watching Jiang Li go away, he became heavier and more irritable. do.
All things and people in this world are selfish and self-interested. He wanted to help the villagers just because he saw innocent deaths in vain. He clearly had a good intention, but he ended up like this. It can be seen that the heaven is ruthless, and kindness has never been rewarded.
On the one hand, he resented Luomei and even broke the relationship between master and apprentice, killing him to such a degree, on the other hand, he felt that Luomei was so powerful that only by being as ruthless and unrighteous as the other party and chasing the other party's footsteps, could he be able to reach the end of the strong.
The fierce conflict and collision aggravated the inner torment. Yao Wangnian only felt hot and murderous all over his body, and the ghost energy rose from the whole body and pushed it away, like waves spreading rapidly. Wherever he went, the soil was scorched black, the white snow turned into smoke, and the vegetation disappeared. Birds landed.
When Yun Weisi saw this, he vibrated his sleeves and formed a seal, and golden runes appeared in the air, preventing the spread.
Yao Wangnian's resentment could not be relieved, but his expression became more and more crazy. Seeing that his eyes were red, he was about to go into a demon, and a Buddhist seal penetrated into his heart from behind.
"All the dharmas are like dream bubbles, like dew and like electricity, should be viewed in this way!"
Morning bells and twilight drums, like waking up from a dream, Yao Wangnian's consciousness and body shook slightly, all the madness dissipated, and his expression gradually calmed down.
"...I didn't expect you to be able to learn Buddhism."
After a long while, he opened his mouth hoarsely, and the little jaw exposed under the hood seemed to have turned even grayer.
"I have entered various sects in the world to cultivate the mind, the law, and the mind. I have learned through hundreds of schools, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. There is no difference to me. The method of cultivation is only the details, and the ultimate pursuit is the same goal." Jiufang Changming looked at He said, "Your heart is very demonic. If things go on like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to do ghost cultivation."
When ghosts can't be, it's also time to disappear.
"Heart demon, hum..." Yao Wangnian sneered, "After I became a ghost cultivator, there is no difference between day and night, only the difference between suffering and unbearable, and barely able to endure, those of you who are smooth sailing, naturally have not experienced it. Such a feeling!"
"How do you know not?" Yun Weisi looked pale. "I can't get it, I can't wait for it, I don't know the life and death of the other party, but for a promise, I voluntarily trapped in the abyss where the sun and the moon are not seen, and only the demons are seen.
The deepest despair is not without hope, but with a glimmer of hope, but waiting forever in the long darkness, not knowing when to see the light, over time, the body cannot be numb because of the pain, but the mind can only split the resentful self. go.
At the seaside of Jiuzhongyuan, the devilish cloud sea saw Jiufang Changming sitting beside the pyre and roasting the fire. He only knew that he had no idea of killing. After so many years, he finally waited for his own light.
Whether he heard it or thought of something else, Yao Wangnian was silent for a while and did not refute.
"Since your death, all the meaning of existence is the unwillingness to die because of your own injustice. If you can really defeat Luomei at this meeting, can you be liberated?" Jiufang Changming asked.
He stretched out his hand and put it on Yun Weisi's shoulder, which was as light as nothing and weighed more than a thousand pounds.
With just this action, Yun Weisi gradually calmed down.
Maybe it will take a long time for the scar in his heart to heal completely, but no matter whether he lives or dies, Jiufang Changming is by his side, and he already has the antidote to cure the disease.
relief
On the other side, Yao Wangnian shook his head.
There was so much resentment and incomprehension in his heart that even if he smashed Luomei to ashes, he would never be able to get rid of it.
Ascension to immortality is certainly a lifelong pursuit of many people, but at the cost of the life of the apprentice, the sect and the world, is it worth it to gain a result that may not be achieved
Yao Wangnian didn't realize that he unknowingly asked, but he heard Jiufang Changming's voice.
"Everyone in the world seeks different ways. It is not compatible with all oceans and rivers, and they will be able to return to the sect and realize the secrets of heaven. Some people follow the path from the sidelines, their swords are slanted, they merge with demons, their bodies become demons, and they destroy the world and achieve themselves. You can still step through the void and rise to the realm.”
If there is no Jiufang Changming and Yun Weisi, Luomei Zhenren may not succeed in the end. He combines with demons, turns the world into a demon world, and forcibly changes the laws of heaven and earth. Can he also become the author of the Tao of Heaven
He stepped on so many corpses to reach the top. Disciple Yao Wangnian found out that he was colluding with demons, so he killed him and stigmatized the other party; As soon as they fell in love, they would be used by him; Jiufang Changming and Ren Haishan were deeply cultivated, and they would be used by him as the holders of the Liuhe Candle Sky Array, becoming part of the scam; Luomei saw that Yun Weisi cared about the master, It is necessary to invite Jun into the urn, so that Yun Weisi will be voluntarily trapped in Jiuzhongyuan, and he will not be allowed to leave forever.
All the people in the world were played by Luomei in the palm of their hands. They died and wounded. Some people suffered half their lives, some died unexpectedly, but Luomei was the only one who never got the slightest punishment from beginning to end.
"When I was a child, I entered the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect. The elder pointed to the stone sword on the mountain wall and said to us that the swordsmanship is like the heart of the sword, and the mountains and rivers are like a mirror. Only when it is clear, clean, and spotless can we achieve the avenue. Determined, to slay the demons and eliminate the demons, and restore the righteous path as one's own responsibility."
That's why Yao Wangnian chose to stay and find out the truth when someone mutilated innocent villagers, rather than just walk away.
If he hadn't insisted on seeking justice for these people that day, how could he be regarded as a thorn in his side by his master
But he has been dead for so long. In the eyes of Wanjian Xianzong and even everyone in the world, he is an abandoned disciple who betrayed his master's sect. His injustice has never been clear, and justice has never existed.
"If this world is a true cycle of heaven, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, why would the grievances of the deceased never be redressed, while people who regard the common people as ants can do whatever they want? Does it have to be like Luomei? , in order to obtain the Dao of Heaven?"
Yao Wangnian laughed and bent down, his body trembling slightly.
The glow in the distance is gradually dimming, and another day is coming to an end, but Yao Wangnian's body seems to be about to disappear with the glow, gradually becoming lighter, and even the ghostly energy around him is much lighter.
"Tao, there are three thousand. Humans, immortals, ghosts, gods, demons, and demons have their respective homes. For thousands of years, this has been the case."
"The so-called righteousness and evil, indiscriminate killing, goodness or not, are just the rules set by people, and the way of heaven has never been such a rule."
"I have searched all over the sects and pursued the mysteries of the Tao of Heaven, but I have also been troubled by your questions, and I have been unable to find the answer after going through Buddhism and Taoism."
"But later, I finally understood that the so-called way of heaven is actually to follow one's heart. Luomei's nature is like this, unscrupulous, it is his way, and I am not Luomei, I also have my own way, when I am firm in my heart and can defeat him, I can convince others of my way. The way of heaven has no good or evil, it’s just that people designate good and evil for it, so do you understand?”
Yao Wangnian did not speak, but his body no longer trembled.
"Since you have become a ghost cultivator, you also have your own Dao. If you don't want this world to be dominated by the fallen Dao, you should make yourself part of the Dao so that you can change the law and influence others." Jiufang Changming said slowly. , "The one who can redeem you is not the way of heaven, nor the good and evil determined by others, but you will always be yourself."
Yao Wangnian murmured, "I, become a Taoist?"
Jiufang Changming nodded: "Yes, everything has its meaning when it exists. It is said in ancient books that ghosts are different from ordinary people. They cannot see light, cannot get close to fire, and have deep resentments and cannot be liberated. Only in chaos can the spirit body travel to the world. But The two ghost cultivators I have met, one is you and the other is Linghuyou. Both of you are not afraid of sunlight and have the same body. If you can go on like this, you may not be able to achieve success.”
"I have no idea… "
What Jiufang Changming said has surpassed Yao Wangnian's understanding, shattered his inherent concepts, opened a new path for him, and let him go on this road he had never seen before. Yao Wangnian was confused and couldn't think of the answer for a while. The wind was blowing violently, and the figure disappeared in front of the two of them.
"Master, go back and rest first."
Yun Weisi said, he saw Jiufang Changming's brows with heavy tiredness, and subconsciously reached out to smooth it out.
"Why don't you call me Junior Brother?"
The other party was half-smiling, successfully causing his half-stretched hand to stop in the air.
"Master, did you just remember to settle accounts with me now?" Yun Weisi said slowly.
"What if I say yes?"
"Then I can only be at your disposal." Yun Weisi spread his hands, "My whole body, from my life to my soul, has already belonged to the master. If the master is willing, just do it."
He now has some shadows from the sea of clouds in the past, and he can say some jokes, but it only stops in front of Jiufang Changming.
With others around, Yun Weisi was still taciturn.
When the two entered the house, the place was already in a mess, and it was impossible to live. The county owner was killed by the dream demon. Now only a wrinkled skin was left on the originally bright face, which looked very terrifying.
When a person dies like a lamp goes out, it doesn't matter whether it is a mountain or a loess. Jiufang Changming waved his hand gently, and the skin sac turned into a little fluorescent light and dissipated, and walked away with the breeze, leaving no trace.
The room is so messy that it is uninhabitable, but Hongluo Town lacks everything now, that is, there is no shortage of vacancies. The two found the shopkeeper and asked for a clean and spacious upper room. They plan to rest here for one night and wait for Jiang Li to settle down tomorrow. It's too late to return Bijiang, and we will go to Zhengrong Villa together again.
After staying, Jiufang Changming went to wash up first. Yun Weisi stood by the window and looked around the house. Although it was just a common decoration in an inn, he suddenly felt a serenity that seemed like a lifetime away.
This tranquility is what they exchanged for life and death.
In the past, when he was young, he was wearing fresh clothes and angry horses, drunk and dreaming of death. He only loved pleasure and ups and downs. He wished that he could not waste his life with thrills every day. Now I know that it takes a lot of death and blood to achieve this kind of silence and happiness for a moment. exchange.
Fortunately, the person I care about the most is still by my side.
