Chapter 16: Harming others and oneself, all are demons
The sixth wave of calamity thunder has not yet fallen...
But looking at the constant exposure and evil energy in the thunder, everyone knew that something was wrong.
"This is definitely the devil's sect causing trouble," Head Yan shouted angrily, "I have said long ago that we should gather all the factions in the world to fight against the heavens and the outside world, and eradicate them."
"The Demon Sect has even the means to disrupt the Heavenly Tribulation, but it doesn't know how many trump cards it has hidden," Master Shaoguang advised, "Now that we are strong and the enemy is weak, it is like a national war. At this moment, we should strengthen our troops, fight steadily, and use our national strength to defeat the enemy. That’s it.”
"Bringing it down... It's easy to say that, but the price is that Senior Brother Bai may lose his life."
Master Shaoguang looked sad and sighed deeply: "Senior Brother Shen also meant this when he was alive..."
Master Yan was immediately speechless. After a long time, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.
As the two cores of the Taoist sect, Baidi Pavilion and Qingyang Temple have the same core position of eliminating demons and defending the Tao, but there are differences in how to do it specifically.
Baidi Pavilion tends to attack with all its strength and sweep away the Demon Sect in one fell swoop; Qingyang Guan tends to continuously strengthen itself and crush the Demon Sect bit by bit with its strong strength.
In the past thousands of years, Baidi Pavilion has launched several fierce attacks on the Demon Sect and achieved quite a lot; while Qingyang Temple has continued to spread Taoism, which has led to the emergence of a large number of small and medium-sized sects in the world, becoming a major player in the battle between good and evil. Strong backing.
The two routes usually complement each other, but at this time, they are in great conflict with each other.
Although the power of the righteous path in the world is very strong, if it is split in half, it will never be able to defeat the Demon Sect. Therefore, both Baidi Pavilion and Qingyang Temple want to convince the other party to deal with the Demon Sect according to their own plans.
But...radicals and moderates have always been in opposition.
Baidi Pavilion believes that the Qingyang Sect's route is too conservative, and will only delay the opportunity again and again, and in vain will cause a lot of unnecessary damage; Qingyang Guan believes that the Baidi Pavilion's route is too risky, and just one failure is enough to destroy thousands of people from the righteous path. Years of business ruined
In the past, when Master Zhenshi was still alive, he had argued with Yan Kai many times over this issue; after the battle of Star Reaching in the Sky, Master Shaoguang and Yan Kai even got red-faced over this matter countless times.
If they didn't all understand that only unity can win, I'm afraid they might even start a fight.
Now Baidi Pavilion Qingyan's real person is about to survive the tribulation. Seeing that he is not far from success, he encountered an unexpected change due to the troubles of the Demon Sect and is likely to fail. Faced with this situation, Yan Kai couldn't help but want to Attack the outer world.
If Tianwaitian had been broken earlier and the Demon Sect had been destroyed, why would such a thing have happened?
But Master Shaoguang thought exactly the opposite: disrupting the Heavenly Tribulation is an unimaginable method. If the Demon Sect could really do this easily, none of the righteous monks would be able to ascend, and they would all die. Heavenly calamity has occurred. But on the contrary, according to the records of Qingyang Temple, at least from the time when the fifteenth generation patriarch revived Qingyang Temple to the present, in the tens of thousands of years, such a thing has never happened.
This means that in order to disrupt the Heavenly Tribulation, the Demon Sect will definitely pay a huge price. This price is likely to be more than that of a Huandan Daoist.
In this case, then this exchange is worth it
Xu Shaoguang is a righteous monk who is reasonable and kind to others, but he is also a tough guy who is ruthless and ruthless. When necessary, he can regard human lives as numbers and the losses of both the enemy and ourselves as simple addition and subtraction, and his heart bleeds. , with a calm expression on his face.
Zhenshi Zhenren, the former head of Qingyang Temple, once said that he might be more like a monk of Qingyang Temple, but Junior Brother Xu is more like the head of Qingyang Temple.
Facts have proved that Shaoguang Zhenren is indeed very competent. When faced with the angry leader Yan, he did not hesitate to bring out his senior brother who died in the battle and use the dead man to seal Yan's mouth.
This method was very effective. When he thought that even the head of Qingyang Temple had died in the battle, and yet he could still keep his composure, Yan Kai could no longer roar. He could only endure the burning anger and anxiety in his heart and force himself to be calm.
He looked towards Dujie Peak.
In any case, Master Qingyan is still going through the tribulation after all, and has not yet failed.
"That Bai Qingyan is in danger." Jasmine said seriously while looking at the Heavenly Tribulation that was undergoing strange changes, "This is a change of the Heavenly Demon. An immortal Heavenly Demon took action and polluted the Heavenly Tribulation with his life essence and blood."
"Immortal demon? There is such a strong person in the world?" Wu Jie was shocked.
Jasmine shook her head: "Maybe the realm is still there, but the strength is definitely gone. It is absolutely impossible for this world to tolerate an existence that is too powerful, not to mention that the demon itself is rejected by every small world..."
"That's good..." Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, but became worried for Master Qingyan, "Jasmine, you just said this was a change from the demon, so how dangerous is this change...?"
"Honestly, in my opinion, it's not much better than the previous thunder tribulation. But... people in this world have no experience in fighting the changes of demons, and there is absolutely nothing to use as a reference. This increases the risk by countless amounts.
times..."
Wu Jie immediately understood what Jasmine meant and sighed deeply.
Facing an opponent he has never seen before, it would be good to be able to exert 50% to 60% of Qingyan's 100% ability. And the power of the demon's transformation is not inferior to the last tribulation... one goes down and the other goes up, even a child can't
know what the result will be
"Jasmine...can we find a way to help him?"
"Master, please don't cause trouble, okay?" Jasmine smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I won't tell you whether there is anything we can do. Are you really planning to stand out in this situation?"
"...You can't just ignore death."
"Master, what's the benefit of saving him?" Jasmine sighed, "We have enough troubles already, don't cause any more troubles."
"Is there any way?"
Jasmine was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, just fly up now and use the Book of Heaven to swallow up the calamity cloud."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Can the World of Heavenly Books still be used in this way?
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed feasible to use it this way. But... swallowing the calamity cloud in front of the world's masters?
It's like on earth, a person with special powers went to a [fucking] Guangdong Stadium to perform a fire-burning performance in public without getting hurt. Even if you have the ability, please consider the international impact for a moment.
He thought about it again and again, and finally gave up the crazy idea with a sigh.
Wu Jie is a decent man, and he has been passionate about it more than once, risking his life to rescue people in distress and save the common people. But when it comes to taking such a risk for someone with whom he has no friendship, he really can't do it...
"Selfishness is not shameful." Seeing his sad expression, Du Xin persuaded him, "Selfishness is the inner demon, and selflessness is also the inner demon."
"That makes sense and you have a good sense." Jasmine smiled approvingly. "As a person who pursues the highest realm, Master, you should have the absolute confidence that no matter what I do, I am right, or at least have the attitude towards
If you move in this direction, whether you are selfish or selfless, you will put shackles on your own heart, and it will inevitably turn into a demon in the future."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
What Du Xin and Jasmine said makes sense. Monks can do good, but they cannot be kidnapped by "goodness". It should be noted that the way to practice is still oneself. It is not advisable to benefit oneself at the expense of others, but it is also a wrong way to benefit others at the expense of oneself - Buddhism has
This is the saying that "all compassion is also a devil".
An ideal righteous monk pursues the harmony between "self" and "others", prospering and developing together. No matter which one is harmed, it is wrong.
There is something wrong with the idea of trying to save Zhenren Qingyan no matter what.
"You're right, it's probably because I've had smooth sailing all these years, which has inflated my self-confidence." He sighed deeply, feeling that his heart suddenly became brighter.
The price is too high, just can’t be done. If you can’t do it, there is no shame in it.
