Estranged - Chapter 138
Although they decided to leave for Qianlinhui, everyone couldn’t leave immediately.
Jiang Li had to find a way to settle Chi Bijiang’s body first, so that he would not have nowhere to rest his soul after saving her in the future. The town of Hongluo was chaotic, and there were not many people he could trust. He thought of the place he lived in before. The shopkeeper of the medicine hall took Chi Bijiang to look for him, and bought some cinnabar sealwort and other things in order to draw talismans and make seals, and set up an array to defend against the enemy.
He was in a hurry, his face no longer had the usual smile on his face, and he held Chi Bijiang in his arms who was unknown to him, his back seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and his steps were heavy.
Yao Wangnian has been searching for many years and finally got the truth about his enemy. Seeing the decisive battle is imminent, his supposedly happy mood has never been relaxed. Watching Jiang Li go away, he becomes more and more irritable. do.
All things and people in this world are selfish. He saw the villagers dying innocently and wanted to help them. He had a good intention, but he ended up like this. It shows that the way of heaven is ruthless, and good intentions are never rewarded.
On the one hand, he was resentful that Luomei could even break the relationship between master and apprentice, and harmed him to such an extent. On the other hand, he felt that Luomei was so powerful. Only by being ruthless and ruthless like the other party, chasing after the other party’s footsteps, can he become the one who will go to the end. the strong.
Violent conflicts and collisions aggravated his inner torment. Yao Wangnian felt hot all over his body, and his murderous aura suddenly arose. The ghostly aura rose from his body and pushed away, spreading rapidly outward like waves. The bird landed.
Seeing this, Yun Weisi waved his sleeves and sealed, and the golden runes appeared in the air, stopping the spread.
Yao Wangnian’s resentment couldn’t be relieved, but his expression became more and more crazy. Seeing that his eyes were red and he was about to go mad, a Buddha seal pierced his back from behind.
“All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such!”
Morning bells and evening drums, like waking up from a dream, Yao Wangnian’s consciousness and body shook slightly, all the madness disappeared, and his expression gradually calmed down.
“…I didn’t expect you to know the secret art of Buddhism.”
After a long while, he spoke hoarsely, and the chin exposed under the hood seemed to have turned grayer.
“I have been to various sects in the world to practice the heart method and heart formula. I have learned hundreds of schools, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. To me, there is no difference. The cultivation method is just a trivial matter. The ultimate pursuit is the same goal.” Jiufang Changming looked at He said, “You have a lot of demons in your heart. If things go on like this, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to do ghost cultivation.”
The time when there are no ghosts to be fooled is also the time when ashes are wiped out.
“Heart demon, hmph…” Yao Wangnian sneered, “After I became a ghost cultivator, there is no difference between day and night, only the difference between suffering and suffering, which is unbearable and barely bearable. You people who are smooth sailing, naturally have never experienced it. This feeling!”
“How do you know?” Yun Weisi’s expression was indifferent. “I can’t ask for it, I can’t wait for it, I don’t know the other party’s life or death, but because of a promise, I voluntarily trapped in the abyss where I can’t see the sun and the moon, but I can only see the monsters. The longing makes me sick, and I am unwilling to become a demon.”
The deepest despair is not without hope, but with a glimmer of hope, but spends forever waiting in the long darkness. I don’t know when I will see the light. Over time, the body cannot be numb because of the pain, but the mind can only split the angry self go.
On the seashore of Jiuchongyuan, the sea of clouds with devilish energy in his body saw Jiufang Changming sitting by the woodpile warming the fire. He didn’t know that he only wanted to kill, but after so many years, he finally got his own light.
I don’t know if he listened to it or thought of something else, Yao Wangnian was silent for a while, and didn’t refute.
“Since your death, all the meaning of existence is the unwillingness to die because of your innocence. If you can really defeat Luomei by going to the meeting this time, will you be free?” Jiufang Changming asked.
He stretched out his hand to press Yun Weisi’s shoulder, it was as light as nothing, and it weighed more than a thousand jun.
With just this one movement, Yun Weisi gradually calmed down.
Maybe it will take a long time for the scar in his heart to fully heal, but regardless of life or death, Jiufang Changming is by his side, and he already has the antidote for the disease.
relief?
On the other side, Yao Wangnian shook his head.
There was too much resentment and incomprehension in his heart, even if he crushed Luomei and turned his bones into ashes, he would never be able to be relieved.
Ascension to immortality is a lifetime pursuit of many people, but at the cost of the life of the apprentice, the sect, and even the world, is it worth it to achieve a result that may not be achieved?
Yao Wangnian didn’t realize that he asked out unconsciously, but he heard Jiufang Changming’s voice.
“Everyone in the world seeks different ways. It’s not that if they are inclusive and inclusive, they will be able to return to their ancestors and realize the secrets of heaven. Some people follow heresy ways, take a slanted sword, merge with demons, become demons in the flesh, and destroy the world to achieve themselves. It can still step through the void and ascend to the realm.”
Without Jiufang Changming and Yun Weisi, the real Luomei might not fail to succeed in the end. Combined with demons, turning the human world into a world of demons and forcibly changing the laws of heaven and earth, could he also become the author of the way of heaven?
He stepped on so many bones to reach the summit. His disciple Yao Wangnian found out that he was in collusion with the demon, so he killed him and stigmatized the other party; As long as they are deeply in love, they will be used by him; Jiufang Changming and Ren Haishan are deeply cultivated, and they will be used by him as the array holders of the Liuhe Candle Sky Formation, becoming part of the scam; Luomei sees that Yun Weisi cares about the master, It is necessary to invite Jun into the urn, so that Yun Weisi will be trapped in Jiuchongyuan voluntarily, and will not be able to leave for life.
All the people in the world are played by Luo Mei in the palm of their hands. Some die, some get hurt, some lose half their lives, some die unexpectedly, but Luo Mei never gets the slightest punishment from the beginning to the end.
“When I joined Wanjian Xianzong when I was young, the elder pointed to the stone sword on the mountain wall and told us that the way of the sword is like the heart of the sword, and the mountains and rivers are like mirrors. Only when it is clear and spotless can we achieve the Tao. Make up your mind to kill demons and eliminate demons, and restore the righteous way as your duty.”
That’s why Yao Wangnian chooses to stay and find out the truth when someone kills innocent villagers, instead of just walking away.
If he hadn’t insisted on seeking justice for these people that day, how could he be regarded as a thorn in the side of his master?
But he has been dead for so long, in the eyes of Wanjian Immortal Sect and everyone in the world, he is an abandoned disciple who betrayed his master, his grievances have never been cleared, and justice has never existed.
“If this world is really a cycle of heaven and earth, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil, why is it that the grievances of the dead have never been justified, and the people who treat the common people like ants can do whatever they want? Could it be…does it have to be like Luo Mei? , to be able to prove the way of heaven?”
Yao Wangnian laughed, bent down so much that his body trembled slightly.
The sun in the distance is gradually dimming, and another day is coming to an end, but Yao Wangnian’s body seems to be fading with the sun, gradually becoming lighter, and even the ghostly aura around him is much lighter.
“Tao, there are three thousand. Humans, immortals, ghosts, gods, demons, and demons, each has its own home. For thousands of years, it has been like this.”
“The so-called good and evil, indiscriminate killing or not, good or not, are just the rules set by people, and the way of heaven has never been so prescribed.”
“I have searched all over the sect, seeking the mysteries of the way of heaven, and I have also been troubled by your question. I have been wandering about Buddhism and Taoism, but I can’t find the answer.”
“But later, I finally understood that the so-called way of heaven is actually following one’s heart. Luomei’s nature is like this, and it is his way to use whatever means. I am not Luomei, and I have my own way. When I am firm in my heart and can defeat him, I can make others believe in my way. There is no good or evil in the way of heaven, it is 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 way. If you don’t want this world to be ruled by Luomei’s way, you should make yourself a part of the way so that you can change the law and influence others.” Jiufang Changming said slowly , “What can save you is not the way of heaven, nor the good and evil established by others. Only you will always be yourself.”
Yao Wangnian murmured: “I, become Tao?”
Jiufang Changming nodded: “That’s right, everything has its meaning in its existence. According to ancient books, ghost cultivators are different from ordinary people. They cannot see light, can’t get close to fire, and can’t be freed from resentment. Only in chaos can the spirit body swim in the world. But Of the two ghost cultivators I have seen, one is you and the other is Linghu You. Both of you are not afraid of the sun, and you both have bodies. If you can go on like this, it may not be impossible to achieve great success.”
“I have no idea…”
What Jiufang Changming said has surpassed Yao Wangnian’s cognition, smashed his inherent concepts, and opened a new path for him, allowing him to walk on this road that he has never seen before. The air was swept by the strong wind, and his figure disappeared in front of the two of them.
“Master, go back and rest first.”
Yun Weisi said, seeing Jiufang Changming’s brows were full of tiredness, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to smooth it.
“Why don’t you call me Junior Brother?”
The other party smiled, and successfully made his half-stretched hand stop in mid-air.
“Master, is it only now that you want to settle accounts with me?” Yun Weisi said slowly.
“What if I say yes?”
“Then I can only be disposed of by you.” Yun Weisi spread his hands, “My whole body, from life to soul, has already belonged to Master. If Master is willing, just do it.”
Now he also has some shadows of the sea of clouds in the past, and he can say some jokes, but it is only in front of Jiufang Changming.
With others around, Yun Weisi was still reticent.
The two entered the house, the place was already in a mess, and it was impossible to live there. The princess was killed by the dream demon, and now only a wrinkled skin remains of the original glamorous appearance, which looks very frightening.
Human death is like a lamp going out, whether it is a mountain or a loess, there is actually no difference. Jiufang Changming waved his hand lightly, the skin turned into specks of light and dissipated, and walked away with the breeze without leaving any traces.
The room is too messy to live in, but Hongluo Town lacks everything now, that is, there is no shortage of vacant rooms. The two found the shopkeeper and asked for a clean and spacious upper room. They plan to rest here for a night, and wait for Jiangli to settle down tomorrow. Bijiang returned after a long time, and we went to Zhengrong Mountain Villa together.
After staying in the bed, Jiufang Changming went to wash up first, Yun Weisi stood by the window, looking around the room, although it was just an ordinary decoration in the inn, he suddenly felt a kind of tranquility as if he had been in another world.
This tranquility is what they bought with life and death. It is not easy to get, but it is very precious.
In the past, when he was young, he was angry with horses in fresh clothes, drunk and dreaming of death, he only loved pleasure and ups and downs, and wished that his life would not be in vain if he could be thrilled every day. Only now did he realize that it takes a lot of death and blood to achieve such a moment of tranquility and joy. In exchange.
Fortunately, the person I care about the most is still by my side.
