"Even if he is a giant, he is just an ant in front of you." High Priest Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "So, Master, is it useful for me, an ant, to resist in front of you?"
Li Qiye smiled, sat down, and said calmly: "It's useless."
"So, it's just a matter of how to die, whether it's more beautiful or more ugly." At this time, High Priest Mu was already very calm when facing life and death, and when he met Li Qiye's gaze, he was already fearless of death.
.
"Since you are not even afraid of death, what else do you have to be afraid of?" Li Qiye smiled faintly, knocked on the table and said, "Then take a seat."
Seeing that Li Qiye had no intention of killing him, Grand Priest Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and brought tea and poured it for Li Qiye.
The tea is just crude tea, which tastes bland and astringent.
Grand Priest Mu said: "Young Master, this is just a small place with only simple food and food. It cannot be compared with Master Xianzhen."
Li Qiye smiled, drank tea slowly, and looked at the Great Priest Mu. The Great Priest Mu was also waiting for Li Qiye's trial. He sat quietly. It seemed that no matter what decision Li Qiye made, he would abide by it.
, even if it is death, he faces it calmly.
"Since you yourself have been reborn, there is no point in killing you." Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "Then let me spare your life, it will still be of some use."
"Thank you for not killing me, sir." Grand Priest Mu bowed deeply to Li Qiye.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said calmly: "This is not my kindness of not killing, but you saved yourself, and you killed yourself."
Li Qiye's words made Grand Priest Mu startled for a moment. Finally, he sighed softly and said, "Young Master's words are reasonable, but he is also kind."
Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh and said: "This sounds a bit strange. You are a person who once fell into darkness. I am a person who killed all nine heavens and ten earths. In the end, I became kind. Then who are you?
?”
High Priest Mu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and finally said: "I am a guilty person."
"Actually, it's not right to say this." Li Qiye shook his head slightly and said, "It's just past sins. If you think that your sins can be written off, then you are not a sinner. Moreover,
If you atone for your sins with good, does that taint the good, or exalt your sin?”
"This -" Li Qiye's words made Grand Priest Mu unable to answer for a moment.
"I dare not commit the crime of defilement." Finally, the great priest Mu said truthfully.
"So, you are not a guilty person." Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, "Save yourself."
"Save yourself." Li Qiye's words made Grand Priest Mu couldn't help but whisper softly.
"If you are talking about sin and there is no trial, it is not a sin. Even if it is a trial, if you don't think it is a sin, even if it is a sin, then it is not a sin. The sins of cultivating the Taoism will ultimately be left to your own judgment."
Having said this, Li Qiye looked at the High Priest Mu meaningfully and said slowly: "Otherwise, even if I judge you and you have not judged yourself, then you just think that the weak can prey on the strong and that your skills are not as good as others.
Do you really think you are guilty?"
"This is indeed the case." High Priest Mu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and finally said softly.
Li Qiye said calmly: "So, it is not self-judgment. Even if you are guilty, even if I judge you, you just think that you are sacrificing your life for righteousness. You are seeking the welfare of the Three Immortals Realm and you are moved by yourself."
"Young Master, are you so unbearable?" High Priest Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What do you think?" Li Qiye looked at High Priest Mu and said leisurely: "Don't you ever think that you are seeking a way out and benefiting the Three Immortals Realm? How do you think you are better than the Fire Ancestor?"
"It's not as good as that." High Priest Mu couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Ancestor Huo is so talented and powerful that he once saved the common people with just one thought."
"Look, this is self-impression, right?" Li Qiye said lightly: "His one thought to save the common people, did he save the common people? Can he plead guilty in front of the three immortals? Even if he is imprisoned for millions of years, can he think that
Are you guilty? Even if you think you are guilty, you only think that you are guilty for the Three Immortals, but you have never thought that everything is just your own cowardice."
Hearing these words, High Priest Mu couldn't help but fell silent. Finally, he said softly: "It is very difficult to admit one's own incompetence."
"It's very difficult." Li Qiye nodded gently and said: "Even an immortal has the power of incompetence, and even someone like me has times of incompetence."
"At the beginning, I didn't have the freedom and freedom like Young Master." High Priest Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "At the beginning, we went all out and thought we were invincible enough, but that was just
They are nothing more than ants, the enemies we face can wipe out the Three Immortals Realm in a snap of our fingers."
"So, I was scared out of my wits first." Li Qiye understood and said leisurely.
"Yes." High Priest Mu admitted frankly and said: "The so-called frightened out of fear is just because I have a shallow Taoist practice and a weak Taoist heart. I was so scared that I peed my pants and took refuge in the existence I thought was truly the most invincible. In fact,
, this is just incompetence. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you die in battle, no matter how small the ants are, they can still show their fangs."
"Yes, no matter how small an ant is, it can still show its fangs." Li Qiye nodded gently.
High Priest Mu said softly: "In future generations, every time I think of it, in order to save the Three Immortals Realm, it is just to cover up my cowardice and greed. In the name of saving the world, to cover up my incompetence and greed is just...
I just want to live longer and get more benefits." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"So, whether you or Fire Ancestor, you think you are saving the Three Immortals Realm. But have you ever thought about it, in fact, the Three Immortal Realms do not necessarily need you to save, but you are the ones who really need to be saved." Li Qiye looked at it.
High Priest Mu said slowly: "Even if the Three Immortals Realm needs to be saved, then you have to see if you are the one who really needs to be saved."
After a pause, Li Qiye looked at High Priest Mu and said slowly: "If you can't save yourself, then when you fall, do you think you are saving the Three Immortals? No, it's just you.
It’s just destroying the world.”
The words that Li Qiye spoke slowly were like a needle piercing into the body of High Priest Mu, causing him to tremble involuntarily.
"In the end, we still need Taoist heart." After a while, High Priest Mu couldn't help but sigh softly, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
"So, you see, isn't this a good thing?" Li Qiye smiled lightly and said: "You saved yourself, and in the end, you also re-corrected your Taoist heart, so all this seems to be a good thing.
Nothing has changed, you are still you, but what kind of you are you? What determines all this in the end?"
"Tao heart." High Priest Mu couldn't help but nodded gently and said: "Before, I never thought deeply about it. I thought, what temptation in the world can I not withstand, and what can't make my Tao heart firm?
?I have been full of talents throughout my life, and nothing can tempt me."
"What makes your Taoist heart waver is not only the temptation, but also the fear in your heart." Li Qiye said lightly.
"What the young master said is true, and I realized it later." High Priest Mu said softly: "Just like Brother Huo Ancestor, he was so generous and generous in his life. He treated artifacts and treasures like dung in his life, and he was unparalleled in his arrogance.
, how could he betray his original intention and fall into darkness because of treasure and creation?"
The Fire Ancestor mentioned by the Wood Priest was indeed like this back then. The Fire Ancestor back then was so unparalleled in the world and so amazing throughout the ages. It can be said that in that era of the Fire Ancestor, he was a very dazzling existence.
The Fire Ancestor was an open-minded and generous person. At that time, the Fire Ancestor had many treasures and immortal objects in his hands, but the Fire Ancestor often ignored them and gave them to others.
Therefore, when Fire Ancestor fell, it was just that his Taoist heart was shaken, and terrible cracks appeared deep in his heart.
When the Taoist heart is shaken, this is the reason why Huo Ancestor fell.
Immortal treasures touch people's hearts, but they may not necessarily make people fall. However, under fear, when seeking safety, no matter what kind of existence they are, they will be threatened and frightened.
However, at this time, the slightest promise of benefits will often lead to corruption and surrender to darkness.
High Priest Mu was very clear about everything that Fire Ancestor went through back then. Fire Ancestor did not fall into darkness for the Wushang Treasure. The mission he shouldered in his heart had never changed. It was just that he surrendered.
Fear, plunged into darkness.
"Sufferings are often caused by people who think they are saviors." Li Qiye looked at Grand Priest Mu and said calmly.
"Then, will I bring suffering to this small world?" High Priest Mu couldn't help but ponder for a moment and asked softly.
Li Qiye glanced at High Priest Mu and said calmly: "Are you the savior?"
"No." High Priest Mu couldn't help but shook his head, pondered and sighed, and finally said slowly: "It should be said that this world saved me. Brother Shengyi is very amazing, he is more amazing than any of our ancestors,
It is he who warms this small world, and this small world also warms me."
