Dugu Bairen actually looked righteous and confident. Even at this moment, he seemed to really feel that he was not wrong at all.
This made Bai Qing stunned for a moment. He felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't think of any good words to refute Dugu Bairen.
After a while, Bai Qing said: "I really can't figure out why a person like you, who is full of evil, can cultivate to such a state?
Every thing created by God has a mysterious creation. Why did God create you?"
Dugu Bairen said: "If it is said that evil is everywhere, who among all living things is not full of evil in his life?
Even the grazing cattle and sheep, how many spiritual flowers and plants have been swallowed in their mouths?
These are all cycles of cause and effect, and we are also a link in the cycle of cause and effect."
After a pause, he said: "As long as you don't kill me, I can change my mind and work for you as a slave!"
Chen Yang said calmly: "You actually still beg for mercy?
I thought you were no longer afraid of death."
Dugu Bairen looked bitter and said: "If you can live, who would want to die?"
Chen Yang said: "You said a lot of fallacies, and you probably convinced yourself.
Cattle and sheep eat grass, and carnivorous animals kill cattle and sheep. After death, they are turned into fertilizer to nourish the grass.
These are indeed natural cycles...but what you do does not belong to the natural cycles, but is insane.
You consider yourself superior and regard ordinary people as ants.
But you know, in front of some people, you are just like an ant."
Dugu Bairen said: "Yes, in front of some people, I am indeed an ant.
Just like all our saints, they are also ants in front of the universe.
When the universe collapses, all living things will die.
In fact, this is not a big deal! Why can I reach this level of cultivation?
Because my thoughts are clear and my mind is free.
And you... are too hypocritical."
Chen Yang said: "According to your statement, killing people like hemp is your true temperament?
Everything else is just fake?"
Dugu Bairen said: "Hmph, it's just like two mortals, one wants to eat dog meat, but the other says he kills innocent people indiscriminately.
If this isn’t hypocrisy, what is it?”
"That's enough for you!"
Chen Yang felt that this guy was really making a lot of lies, so he became a little angry and said, "Are you eating dog meat?"
"Are mortals, in the eyes of us cultivators, superior to dogs in the eyes of mortals?"
Dugu Bairen was not afraid of Chen Yang, but asked.
He is obviously a smart man and knows that begging for mercy at this time will have no effect.
If he could defeat these two people logically, he would have a chance to survive.
Bai Qing clenched his fists. He felt that Dugu Bairen was farting, but for a moment, he didn't know how to refute him.
Chen Yang also felt very aggrieved. Now he could kill Dugu Bairen with one palm.
But killing like this is not pleasant.
"You..." Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "The difference between humans and animals is that humans have feelings.
No matter how evil and poisonous a mortal may be, they will not eat others unless they are forced to do so.
And what about you?
Relying on your cultivation, you obviously have countless delicacies to eat, but in order to satisfy your own animal desires, you do not hesitate to trample on the dignity and lives of countless mortals.
Do you know how sad they are when they lose their children?
Did you know that when they are about to die, they will be as scared as you are now?
You have a lot of truths, but no amount of fallacies can cover up the fact that you are a demonic beast.
In this world, there are many people with higher cultivation than you, but there are only a handful of people as evil as you."
"So, you can't convince me at all!"
Dugu Bairen laughed loudly.
"My ending at this moment is not because of how evil I am, but because my cultivation is not as good as yours.
Essentially, we are all the same!"
Chen Yang said: "Bah, are you worthy of saying that your essence is the same as mine?
You simply don’t understand what the real one-flower-one-world is.
You don’t understand what life is because you have never respected life.”
"If I didn't understand, how could I have such cultivation?"
Dugu Bairen said in a deep voice: "What kind of truth and truth do I not understand?
In my opinion, I understand it, but you haven't understood it yet.
You guys are living too restrictively.
You should be like me and do whatever you want, so that you can live your life in this world in vain!"
Bai Qing said: "Do you think that acting arbitrarily is the true meaning of this avenue?
If this is really the true meaning of the Great Dao, then are many great emperors and saints like you?
Do you think you still have the right to live?
The saints in the heavens have given you the right to live, but you have not given mortals the right to live."
Dugu Bairen said: "Haha... Do saints have to be kind?
My ancestor, who killed more people than me, has become a saint differently?"
Bai Qing said: "Everything is divided into yin and yang, black and white, good and bad.
Where there is good, there will be evil.
But this does not mean that evil is right."
Dugu Bairen said: "But this means that evil is real."
Bai Qing was speechless again.
Dugu Bairen said: "You can't convince me at all, and you can't convince yourself either.
Hahaha...why?
Because I'm not wrong.
But this doesn’t mean you are wrong... Just as some people like to eat meat and some like to be vegetarian, these are people’s freedom.
But vegetarians are not qualified to criticize meat-eaters."
"I realize that I really can't convince you today."
Chen Yang was also speechless.
For the first time, he realized that he could not win over others by being reasonable.
And it's obvious that the other person is wrong.
Dugu Bairen said: "So, as long as you are willing to let me live, I can do anything you want."
Chen Yang said: "What if you like to eat meat, and I like to eat some weirder things?
For example, you like to eat the hearts, livers and brains of children.
And I have a quirk, I prefer to torture people.
And I don’t like torturing mortals, I like torturing masters like you.
I especially like to see masters, especially masters with a history of evil deeds, kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy.
Moreover, no matter how he begs for mercy, I will never let him go.
He wanted to die, but I wouldn't let him.
I once saw a senior punishing a wicked person, which was very interesting.
Do you know what the punishment is?
He cut off the evil man's head but did not let him die.
After that, he sank the evil man’s head in a cesspool and never saw the light of day again!”
"That's a good idea!"
Bai Qing suddenly felt relieved and said fiercely: "Let's make this beast like this and see if he can still be so sharp-tongued in the cesspool."
"No..." Dugu Bairen turned pale in horror and said, "No, no!"
Chen Yang said: "What you just said is so right, my brother and I don't know how to refute you.
Well, I'll just follow your lead.
If you do what you like, then I will also do what I like. Isn’t this correct?
Could it be said that the feeling of being immersed in a manure pit is better than watching one's own child being eaten?"
After a pause, he added: "I won't immerse your head in a cesspit right away, because I have many more interesting punishments.
For example, throw you into a bug pit and let all the bugs burrow into your body, making you extremely itchy.
It's okay... isn't it? Everyone does what they like, what's wrong with that?
Dugu Bairen, tell me, am I wrong?"
Dugu Bairen was trembling all over. He knew that with a cultivation level like Chen Yang's, he could follow his words.
Once you say that, the other party will definitely do what you say.
Bai Qing said sternly: "You continue to talk about your reasons! Huh?
Are you mute?"
Dugu Bairen was covered in cold sweat and said loudly: "But no matter what, I only killed mortals.
But I am not a mortal, and I would never treat a Taoist like this! We are the same kind, and the same kind cannot treat the same kind like this!"
"similar?
What do you mean by the same kind?"
Chen Yang said coldly: "Humans are all of the same kind! Mortals, immortals, bad guys, and villains are all human beings.
The fact that you have been able to cultivate to this point shows that you are very lucky and blessed by nature.
You are already blessed with luck thousands of times better than ordinary people, so you should be grateful to this world and every day.
But you didn't, and instead you intensified your efforts to persecute those weaker and pitiful mortals than you."
"It's not wrong for you to be ungrateful.
But, evil will be punished."
Chen Yang said word by word: "Today, you can't blame me for coming to kill you.
Because this is your retribution.
Do you think there will be no retribution for those mortals who torture and kill animals?
Retribution will come as well."
Dugu Bairen remained silent.
He didn't dare to argue any more.
For a moment, he really felt a feeling more terrifying than death.
It was when Chen Yang said he wanted to immerse his head in a cesspit forever...
He felt a bit of empathy and thought to himself, when I was eating the hearts, livers and brains of those children, those mothers probably felt the same as I did now...
When I tortured those women, I probably felt the same as myself...
Dugu Bairen raised his head and looked at Chen Yang and Bai Qing, then suddenly knelt down and said: "Perhaps, the truth is not wrong.
Because the principles of the world are like that. Those children and women who die in my hands are their fate.
Perhaps, it is my fate to die at the hands of these two of you.
Everything is destined.
However, this does not mean that I am right.
I'm afraid that you will immerse my head in a pit of cesspool...that feeling makes me shudder.
They probably felt the same way when I did those evil deeds.
I was indeed wrong."
"Killing you like this is indeed too cheap for you.
I'm also sorry for those who died... But if my elder brother and I really immersed you in the cesspit, what we would do would seem to be no different from you."
Bai Qing's anger finally subsided and said: "Since you admit your mistake, we can consider giving you a happy death."
Dugu Bairen said: "I really hope that I can survive and spend my whole life making up for my mistakes!"
Bai Qing sneered and said: "Don't waste your efforts, whether you are sincere or fake.
