Volume 1 The Owl Demon Rebirth Chapter 275 The Decision of the Sword
It's late at night, and the evening breeze is blowing.
Inside the City of Guiyue, there is still a scene of people coming and going. Looking around, the City of Guiyue is even more brightly lit and full of splendor.
As for Shijia and Gu Qingyang, one of them is a monk dressed in simple clothes, and the other is a young man wearing only black clothes.
Of the two of them, one was tall and fat and seemed to be very wealthy. The other was slender and looked very sick.
No matter how you look at these two people, they seem to be incompatible with the City of Return to the Moon. They seem to be people from another world.
But in fact, from the moment they entered the city, they didn't take the City of Return to the Moon seriously. They only cared about each other.
Just like Gu Qingyang has been secretly observing the strange Buddha Shijia from beginning to end, the strange Buddha Shijia has also been paying attention to Gu Qingyang.
And the issues on their minds are surprisingly consistent. Because they are both wondering whether the other party will become their mortal enemy.
Gu Qingyang has seen through Shijia. With the memory of his previous life, he knows who Shijia is, his identity, and his strength.
Similarly, he also knew the ideals and ambitions of the Buddha, the yearning in his heart, and his philosophy of standing in the world.
Yes, they were originally two incompatible bone cultivators.
Gu Qingyang knew about Shijia.
Shakya, the owner of the Great Compassion and Compassion, was a peerless genius from beginning to end, with a heart of compassion for all people in the world.
Shakya, the only descendant of a certain generation of super orthodox Western ancient religions. According to legend, this person can represent their generation.
There is no falsehood or exaggeration in this sentence, because in Sakyamuni's generation, Western ancient religions were the only ones to accept him.
Ancient Western religions were also known to Gu Qingyang.
Legend has it that this super-orthodox concept holds that people, as well as many creatures in this world, are inherently sinful.
Living is just to atone for sins in this life and to cultivate blessings in the next life. And this is the practice of those believers in ancient Western religions.
Shakya is different from other disciples of ancient Western religions because he advocates the idea that all living beings suffer, rather than that all living beings are guilty.
However, it is precisely because Shakya had such a concept that the goal set by Shakya from the beginning of his practice was to save all sentient beings in the world.
As for what his so-called redemption is, no one knows yet, including Gu Qingyang.
After all, in his previous life, he had only heard stories about Shijia, and only met Shijia once during the final battle.
After that time, the entire wild world was destroyed because of that war, and he also used the Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra to return to the beginning of this life.
…
Gu Qingyang was meditating like this. He looked as if he was meditating and working hard on something.
But in fact, all he was thinking about while his thoughts were changing was how he should get along with Shijia next.
Is it difficult, do we have to fight?
In a sense, his ideas are somewhat similar to those of Shakya, enough to be called the same.
That is, they all believed that all living beings suffer. However, the solution given by Shakya was probably that he entered Taoism with his own body.
That is to say, he uses himself to redeem these perishing people. And this process should also be the process of Buddhist practice.
In contrast, he has no such idea. Compared to Shijia, his idea may be more extreme.
Because he always felt that all living beings in this world seemed to be saved, but in fact they were not saved at all.
What he wants to change is not all living beings, but the world in which all living beings live. He feels that only when the world changes, all living beings will change.
At the same moment, in the depths of Shijia's eyes, the waves of surprise and fear were also constantly growing.
"How can there really be such a person in this world? He combines divinity and demonic nature. This is an extremely contradictory person."
"Since ancient times, the two paths of gods and demons are incompatible. Let alone those who try to cultivate the two paths of gods and demons, even those who cultivate one path each."
"As long as they dare to take a different path, as long as they dare to cross that threshold, then the only thing waiting for them is death."
"But this Gu Qingyang, he——"
"Everyone in the world says that a person who possesses the ten most powerful life bones in the world of bone cultivation is an astonishing talent. But in my eyes, Shijia, this is an unparalleled talent!"
"It's just that such a person has both divine and demonic qualities. If he is allowed to continue to exist, won't it bring crisis to the world?"
…
Shijia was shocked by Gu Qingyang. What shocked him was what Gu Qingyang had already accomplished. This was a miracle that could be carried by both Shinto and demonic forces.
Of course, Shijia was also afraid. He was afraid of the terrifying potential of Gu Qingyang, and even more afraid of what Gu Qingyang might do in the future.
If there was only divinity in Gu Qingyang, then he would be very willing to discuss things with Gu Qingyang and talk about the future with Gu Qingyang.
But now, he doesn't want to do this.
He was afraid that his few words would trigger a war between him and Gu Qingyang, or that Gu Qingyang would have an epiphany while discussing Taoism.
If that's the case, it doesn't matter.
He was afraid that after a battle with him, or after the discussion, Gu Qingyang's views on the world would become even more extreme.
If this is the case, then for the sake of the world, he can only kill Gu Qingyang and let this amazingly talented young man die here.
But, now, can he really defeat this extremely strange and extraordinary young man in front of him? Is it really possible?
He doesn't think he can do it.
However, just when Shijia felt that his mood was becoming more and more upset step by step, Gu Qingyang stopped.
"Seller, I want ten bunches of pear candy."
"That's all, let's get a hundred skewers."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
…
Shijia suddenly stopped when he saw Gu Qingyang, and then, the young man who should have been a heinous person in his eyes smiled.
The young man said a lot of things, which would sound like ordinary things.
But hearing such words in Shijia's ears made him feel that he was now hearing hallucinations and hallucinating.
Yes, that must be the case!
However, soon, he saw the young man selling pear candy, and he also smiled, making string after string of candies that Gu Qingyang wanted.
"Brother, I am also eighteen years old this year."
Shijia didn't know that at this moment, Gu Qingyang was just thinking of one person and silently missing that person in his heart.
He buys candy just so that when that person comes back to him in the future, he can see all the prosperity in the world and enjoy ordinary happiness.
"Is this his divinity?"
At the same moment, Shi Jia couldn't help but fall silent as he watched Gu Qingyang carefully and carefully put away the candy handed over by the candy seller.
He sighed silently in his heart, but when he thought of the endless demonic intention he felt in Gu Qingyang, he couldn't help but frown.
For a moment, Shijia felt extremely confused.
Because his intuition was telling him that Gu Qingyang could not be killed due to emotion or reason. A person could be so gentle to those ordinary people.
Then, even if it is really wrong, then the world is wrong. But this idea is completely different from his philosophy.
And this is what his reason is reminding him, because various factors and conditions all indicate that Gu Qingyang is not a good person.
"Brother, I'm sorry——"
"Be good, take the candy and eat it."
But the next moment, in the crowd, a little girl who looked to be only six or seven years old suddenly bumped into Gu Qingyang.
This also made Gu Qingyang, who was immersed in his inner world, almost let the candy in his hand fall to the ground.
However, Gu Qingyang did not beat or scold the little girl as the store boy and Shi Jia thought.
At that moment, Gu Qingyang just smiled gently, then silently took out a bunch of pear candy in his hand and gave it to the little girl in front of him.
"Sir, why are you doing this?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just fate."
Listening to the emotion of the candy seller, Gu Qingyang did not take his emotion seriously. At this moment, Gu Qingyang was just smiling and shaking his head.
"this--"
"Maybe I was really wrong."
"However, I want to see his demonic nature."
…
In just an instant, Shijia no longer felt entangled. The feeling that replaced the entangled feeling in his heart was expectation.
At this moment, Shijia really wanted to see what kind of person Gu Qingyang, who could be so kind-hearted, would become once he lost his divinity.
"We should go."
"Huh? Okay, okay."
While Shijia was meditating, Gu Qingyang had already put away all the pear candies and started calling him.
Gu Qingyang's call also made Shijia wake up in an instant. So he followed quickly and said with a smile:
