"It's right to protect yourself, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of hurting others. After all, in this world, too many people are involuntarily controlled by the so-called 'fate'. In fact, they don't know what they want in their hearts."
Speaking of this, Lingyu suddenly stopped, looked at the young man very seriously, and asked him.
"Do you know why you are alive?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied firmly: "Hate."
"Does hatred mean destroying others to satisfy oneself? Then when one day you have enough strength and kill your enemy, what are you living for? What will you follow then?
What about Tao? What you want will be blinded by what you want, and you will not be able to see the real world."
These words, spoken to him, are also spoken to myself.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage. This is not the case with the way of man. When you understand this sentence, you will be able to break through the current predicament." After Lingyu finished speaking, he patted his head.
She yawned and walked towards her room. She had spent a lot of energy fighting with that man just now.
Fanyin stared blankly at her leaving figure. At that moment, he felt that she was like a god who had descended into the world, just to take pity on him at this moment and point him in the right direction.
He never noticed that the originally invisible and chaotic airflow around him slowly became calmer and softer along with his state of mind.
The next day, Lingyu had another craving for food. She couldn't fully enjoy the duck and soup yesterday!
In addition, the monks discovered this place and they had to find another place to hide, so they went to the place where Fanyin bought the roast duck yesterday for their last meal.
Lingyu looked at the oily duck legs in her hands and thought about saying goodbye now. She didn't know when we would see him again, and she felt sad. While eating the duck legs hungrily, she thought that she must buy two more when she left.
Take it with you to avoid not being able to eat it next time!
"Oh, this world is really ironic. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the annual River God has to be worshiped during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know how many people have to experience the pain of separation of flesh and blood."
Lingyu was enjoying the delicious food in her mouth when she suddenly heard an indignant voice next to her. Out of gossip, she unconsciously pricked up her ears and looked over following the sound.
"Yes, are all the gods from heaven here to make the people suffer?" The man who answered was even more depressed than the man just now, and even seemed to shed a few tears after he finished speaking.
It's just that the man didn't shed tears lightly, and was busy wiping them away in the darkness when no one was paying attention.
"Hey, brother, don't be too sad. Although this year it's Heng'er's turn...but..." The man wanted to comfort his brother, but unexpectedly he couldn't make it up halfway through the sentence, and he swallowed slightly.
"As a man, but I can't protect my wife and children, what's the use of my seven-foot body!" After saying that, he hammered the table hard, causing the bowls and chopsticks on it to shake.
Lingyu looked at the roast duck in front of her and suddenly felt that it had no flavor.
"Today's Holy Saint is lustful and immoral. He only wants to practice cultivation and seek immortality. He obeys the advice of the wise and wise man who doesn't know where he came from. Every year, he asks all counties and regions to sacrifice at least ninety-nine boys and girls to worship the river god!
If the number of people is not enough, the nine tribes will be implicated! I really don’t know how such an ignorant person became the emperor!"
"The most hateful thing is that those corrupt officials actually agreed to such ridiculous things in order to curry favor with the Holy One. What is even more unacceptable is that they do not sacrifice their own children, but actually raise slaves who specialize in giving birth to children to meet the needs of the Holy One.
It’s so unconscionable! Where is the way of heaven!”
For a while, there were complaints in the restaurant. Lingyu looked at the sky that was getting darker outside, just like people's hearts were gradually sinking.
"Didn't you say that the way of heaven can only make up for the deficiencies? Why have the people become like this because of cultivating immortals, but the way of heaven has not yet come." Fanyin ate the meal without changing his expression, but he did not forget to be sarcastic.
Lingyu.
Lingyu admitted that at this moment, she felt compassion. If it was about annihilating humanity, it would be chilling to hear it!
Lingyu put down her chopsticks and looked at Fanyin with a serious face: "If the way of heaven is not clear, then we will follow the way of heaven!"
"That's such a loud tone. Then I want to see what qualifications you have to dare to do this." In the darkness on the second floor, someone curled his lips and looked at everything with interest.
Although she could vaguely feel the darkness inside through the conversation in the restaurant, when they actually saw it, they were still deeply shocked.
The night was as thick as ink, and black clouds were rushing over the city. The bright moon in the sky was being carried away by those dark clouds, and it seemed that it refused to face all the darkness in this world.
The huge backyard was divided into dozens of cowsheds that could only accommodate two people. They were covered with straw. In each shed, there were two naked men and women sleeping in each other's arms. There was also a bowl outside the shed.
There was food in the trough. It was said to be food, but in fact it wasn't even pig food. There was a woman's shrill scream coming from inside.
All kinds of unpleasant smells were mixed together, blood was mixed with dirty desires, newborns were mixed with stillborn fetuses, and they were sent outside from the hands of old mothers with numb faces.
At that moment, Lingyu felt as if she had entered Abi Hell by mistake.
Even Fanyin, who was always cold, frowned and clenched his fists.
"Are these people still humans?"
"This is the 'seed' in their mouth, it is only responsible for giving birth to new life." Sanskrit's words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
"Please, please return the child to me and let me take a look at it again, please."
Suddenly a weak female voice came from the shed facing them. Lingyu looked over and saw that the woman was covered in blood and sweat and her face was pale. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. She obviously had no strength, but
He was still holding on to the legs of an old woman in front of him.
However, the old woman didn't have any sympathy. Like a machine, she kicked open the woman who had just given birth with a stern face and reached the small door at the end of the road.
"This old woman seems to be a mummy whose soul has been drained." Lingyu quietly released a trace of her spiritual power to check, but found that the old woman holding the child had no soul fluctuations. There was too much pain around her. She saw those
The soul is screaming, begging for mercy, and seeking relief, but it is all bound in place by an invisible force, doing things against its will.
"My child, my child..."
"Huh, she's just a sow who only knows how to give birth. She doesn't have children anymore!" The woman who was crying just took a step out of the shed when she was grabbed by the hair by the man who had been huddled in the corner behind her and dragged her back fiercely.
, press it to the ground.
Before the blood on the woman's body cooled down, she was forced to bear the man's anger. Her face was so swollen from the slap that her original appearance could no longer be distinguished.
She was lying on the ground and seemed to have no strength to cry. The man seemed to be still kicking her stomach after giving birth: "If it weren't for you, a bitch, how could I have come to this hellish place? Bitch, let you
Seduce me, let you seduce me!"
Lingyu couldn't stand it anymore and restrained the man with her spiritual power. At this moment, she didn't want to investigate the cause and effect, nor was she afraid of provoking the master behind it.
She just didn't want to see this purgatory-like scene again.
A black head faintly appeared in the darkness, quietly approaching the direction of Lingyu: "Who is so bold and dares to run wild on my territory?"
Lingyu looked at the skull that suddenly appeared in front of her. She must have been the culprit that caused all this to happen. Without thinking, she used all her strength to hit the skull.
She just wants to destroy all the filth here and save those suffering people.
However, this blow did not hit. Instead, tens of thousands of skulls appeared around them, so many that the entire backyard was filled up without a single gap. The people in the cowshed suddenly didn't realize it, and instead became more and more...
Get excited and manic.
The sound of beatings and scoldings was endless.
Lingyu wanted to take care of it, but was entangled by these skeletons and couldn't get away. On the other hand, the same was true for the Sanskrit music over there.
"Damn it, there are so many undead in the backyard of a small county magistrate. How much blood and flesh have been accumulated in the gains and losses of this dynasty!"
"Hahaha, death is imminent. If you still have time to think about this, let's think about how you will be pulled out of my stomach when you arrive!" The big skull that was hit by the spirit jade at the beginning was on top, and the empty eye sockets were born.
A pair of blood-red eyes, and devil's horns sprouted from his head at some point. His eyes were full of greed as he looked at Lingyu and Sanskrit, as if they were already in its possession.
These skulls are not difficult to deal with. They have no thoughts or feelings and only know how to bite people with their mouths open. Some of them even have tongues in their mouths, but they are more powerful than others. They broke one and another.
Soon, Fanyin was exhausted, allowing a skull to take advantage of the opportunity and bite his shoulder. As soon as Fanyin knocked over the skull, he suddenly felt some power entering his body, and then his body seemed to be out of control.
He looked at Lingyu who was still resisting not far away.
Gradually, Lingyu also felt powerless. Looking at the number of skulls that continued to increase, Lingyu suddenly realized that acting recklessly was not an option. She was about to find an opportunity to escape when she suddenly felt a chill behind her. When she looked back, she saw only Fanyin.
Looking at her with red eyes, the sword blade in his hand was still dripping with blood.
Sure enough, the only people who can hurt you the most are the people you trust the most.
"The sky and the earth are infinite, and all things return to their origin!" After saying this, a strong light emitted from Lingyu, covering everything nearby. Everything that was illuminated by this strong light suddenly stopped.
Lingyu opened his arms wide and drew a circle in the air. In an instant, the circle turned into Bagua. As Lingyu continued to rotate, the light became stronger and stronger. After reaching the extreme point, the surrounding skeletons suddenly
The child is broken and disappears into thin air.
"I'm sorry, I studied Taoism, not Buddhism, so I can't help you."
A gust of night wind blew by, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon slowly peeked out. Perhaps it was a coincidence that when Fanyin turned around, she saw the brightest light falling on her face, illuminating her indifferent face even more otherworldly.
