A figure stood in front of Lin Jichen in time. It was Lin Jichen's second master, Elder Tianqing.
"Lao Yuan! What are you doing! Do you really want to kill my disciple?" Tian Qing shouted with a dark face.
Tian Yuan was also a little unhappy and said: "Old Yuan, you are going too far. Lin Jichen is still the disciple of the master after all. Even if you want to kill him, you have to ask the master, right?"
Elder Tianjian said silently: "Lin Jichen interacted with demon cultivators and violated the patriarchal laws. Since the master is away, I will manage the sect on my behalf. Naturally, I must strictly enforce it. The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if he is the master's personal descendant, as long as he violates the patriarchal laws, I will
Also clean up the door!”
Seeing that Elder Tianjian was indifferent, Tian Qing and Tian Yuan also felt helpless. They knew very well the temper of their old friend, who was known to be unselfish.
Other things are easy to talk about. As long as it involves the issue of demon cultivation, no one can try to persuade him.
When Chu Tianhan was young, he went out to practice in the mountains, and he also made a friend of a demon cultivator, with whom he even drank and chatted.
When Elder Tianjian found out, he became furious and beat Chu Tianhan half to death, and forced him to kill the demon cultivator.
Afterwards, Chu Tianhan was imprisoned in Jingsi Cliff for half a year, even if Leng Feiyan came forward to mediate and persuade him, it was of no use.
Just when the two elders Tianqing and Tianyuan were so anxious that they didn't know what to do, Lin Jichen walked around them tremblingly and walked to Elder Tianjian.
His face was pale, but his eyes were still as clear as water, bright and firm.
"Great Elder, there is no clear definition of black, white, good or bad in this world, and the same is true for good and evil. I would like to ask, are there no evil people in the Righteous Sect?"
Elder Tianjian was speechless for a moment.
Lin Jichen continued: "Disciple, I ask again, are there no good people in the Demonic Sect?"
"Of course, there may be evil people in the righteous sect, but there can't be good people in the demonic sect!" Tianjian said firmly.
Lin Jichen denied it outright: "Great Elder, you are wrong."
"What's wrong with me?" Tianjian Changhu asked eagerly.
Lin Jichen was not frightened, but replied calmly: "You think there are no good people in the devil's cultivation. It's because you haven't met them. How can you distinguish between good and bad in this world just because of a title? Some people join the devil's cultivation, maybe they are
It’s hard to say, we can’t generalize, there are good and bad monsters, let alone humans.”
"Although Baili Canfeng is a demon cultivator, the disciples can conclude that his nature is not bad. When Xiyun City, which was guarded by my young senior sister, experienced a desperate beast wave, it was he who took action in time to help the people in the city resist the beast wave attack, and finally
I am waiting for the disciples to come to support me, but I would like to ask the Great Elder, is this also considered a villain?"
Elder Tianjian could not answer.
Seeing that he couldn't explain, Lin Jichen continued: "I, Lin Jichen, make friends with a clear conscience. I never look at the status of the other person, only the moral character of the other person. If he is a villain, no matter how high his status is, my disciples will not look at him. If he is
Gentleman, even if you are a beggar on the roadside, your disciples can still drink and have fun with him. It doesn’t matter the righteous way or the evil way, as long as you have a clear conscience. If people’s hearts really only rely on good and evil to judge good and bad, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?”
Lin Jichen's words made everyone moved.
Even Chu Tianhan, who had always been indifferent, opened his eyes unexpectedly and glanced at Lin Jichen with some surprise. Then he seemed to remember something, and the loneliness in his eyes flashed away.
Elder Tianqing and Elder Tianyuan both nodded silently. In fact, they thought so too, but Tianjian had a knot in his mind and was too stubborn.
Lin Jichen looked at Elder Tianjian calmly again and said: "Great Elder, please forgive me for speaking frankly, what you hate is not the demon cultivator, what you hate is just...that person."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Elder Tianjian seemed to think of that sad night, the flames of hatred rose and exploded, and his face was extremely ugly.
But the next second he seemed to have lost all his strength, and he seemed to be much older.
Whoosh!
A sound breaking through the air suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Jichen was hit hard and flew out.
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that the person who took action was Chu Tianhan.
Chu Tianhan took action angrily, with evil eyes, looking coldly at Lin Jichen who fell to the ground, and said fiercely: "You dare to be disrespectful to my master, I can't spare you!"
Lin Jichen stood up from the ground, coughed up another mouthful of blood, and said slowly: "I know I am disrespectful to the elder, but what I told is the truth. I respect the Great Elder Tianjian, and I don't want him to be blinded by hatred. Others dare not
Say, but I will say it, even if I die here today. Wrong is wrong, right is right!"
With that said, Lin Jichen scanned the audience and asked, "Has any of you heard of any evil deeds Baili Canfeng has done?"
No one here said a word, and news about other Demon Sect disciples committing evil acts broke out from time to time.
For example, great disciples such as Li Xinghun and Situ Zhao have done many tragic things that have harmed the common people.
But only Baili Canfeng, there has never been any news of his evil deeds.
On the contrary, some disciples also heard that Baili Canfeng had done many good deeds. For example, it was said that Baili Canfeng once saved thousands of people who were about to be killed at the hands of a small demon sect.
Others heard that Baili Canfeng once deliberately came to stir up trouble with a magic master because he couldn't stand what he was doing, and then killed him.
Looking back now, Baili Canfeng seems to be really different from other magic cultivators.
Lin Jichen puffed out his chest and said loudly: "Our Sword Sect is a well-known and upright sect! It is our duty to eliminate demons and defend the law, but we should not be indiscriminate about right and wrong. Baili Canfeng is not only my friend, but also the lifesaver of Xiyun City.
My benefactor, the people of this city are safe thanks to his actions. He has merit and no fault. If we kill him, what is the difference between it and the demon thieves who kill innocent people indiscriminately? Isn't it like repaying kindness with enmity? "
Lin Jichen's words were like knives piercing everyone's hearts, and everyone present was speechless.
Elder Tianjian's expression was heavy, and his face gradually turned red. He was not only angry but also guilty.
Chu Tianhan on the side also fell silent. He seemed to have something on his mind and his expression was complicated. He looked at Elder Tianjian next to him and hesitated to speak, but finally gave up and stopped talking.
Lin Jichen continued: "I can also swear to God that if one day Baili Canfeng harms the people and does many evil things, I promise to get rid of him with my own hands! No two words!"
After saying that, Lin Jichen walked up to Elder Tianjian again and said: "Elder Tianjian, I respect you. It's my disciple's fault that I disrespected you before. I've finished my words. If you want to take action, just do it."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Jichen opened his arms, closed his eyes, and faced death calmly.
Elder Tianjian raised his arm, but finally put it down.
Baili Canfeng, who was locked up on the other side of the hall, laughed with great joy after watching the whole process.
