Mu Yi couldn't calm down whenever he thought that there might be a ghost king suppressing him under Qianming Temple. That was a ghost king, an almost legendary existence, and he could no longer provoke such a being.
Perhaps the best way is to stay safe and stay away from this vortex of right and wrong as soon as possible.
But can he still quit now?
Mu Yi was silent for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Fan. The other person always looked at him calmly, as if what he just said was not what he said.
"You're scared." Liao Fan said calmly.
"Yes, I'm scared." Mu Yi admitted frankly without hesitation, because at that moment, he was indeed scared.
Ning Wuque, who was at the peak of the second difficulty, almost had no way out, but the Ghost King, who was equivalent to the third difficulty, could be wiped out with a wave of his hand. He still had too many things to complete in his life, and he was reluctant to die. , and also afraid of death.
"I'm also afraid. When Master told me the truth, I even thought about running away, but Master said that this is my fate and I can't escape. I even tried to run away, but in the end, I chose to come back here. , because I have my responsibility here." Liao Fan said calmly.
"Responsibility?" Mu Yi looked at the other party.
"Yes, my responsibility is to suppress that ghost king and prevent her from coming out to cause trouble in the world." Liao Fan said firmly.
"But now she has escaped a trace of her soul. I believe that after the ghost is restored, she will find a way to destroy Qianming Temple and save her body." Mu Yi said coldly.
"So you're here, everything is destined." Liao Fan looked at Mu Yi and said with a hint of meaning.
"Destined? Unfortunately, I don't believe in fate." Mu Yi shook his head and said. He has never believed in these gods and gods. The only thing he believes in is himself. He believes that man can defeat heaven, instead of relying on begging for mercy and relying on the way of heaven. A little favor given.
"I didn't believe it before." Liao Fan also shook his head, but the meaning of his shaking his head was completely different from that of Mu Yi. His words were undoubtedly saying that I believe it now.
"Did you know I was coming?" Mu Yi asked again.
"I don't know." Liao Fan shook his head.
In fact, if the other party said that he had known it for a long time, then Mu Yi would definitely turn around and leave. Maybe he would try his best to destroy the ghost king's ghost, but he would never touch the water of Qianming Temple, even now , he was also hesitating.
Mu Yi never thinks that he is a good person, he is just a not bad person. But when it comes to sacrificing himself to save the world, then he can only say sorry. His shoulders are too narrow and he cannot take on such responsibilities. He only wants to Have a clear conscience, that's all.
"As for the ghost king's escaped soul, do you have a way to destroy it without hurting yourself?" Mu Yi continued to ask.
"There is no way. In fact, you have known for a long time that Magistrate Yan's daughter is dead. What is alive now is a fragment of the ghost king. She is her, but she is not her." Liao Fan said.
Hearing this, Mu Yi couldn't help but fell silent. He had indeed expected it, but the Yan magistrate may not be able to accept this fact. It was just a small matter at first, but now it has become a hot potato.
"What will happen if we let it go?" Mu Yi thought for a while and asked.
"If you don't care, the ghost king's ghost will grow rapidly until it becomes so powerful that I can't resist it. At that time, Qianming Temple will be destroyed, the seal will be broken, and the ghost king will be born." Liao Fan said seriously.
"How long will it take for the other party to recover?"
"No one knows this, but I can feel that time is running out. Maybe a few months, maybe a few years, or maybe... tomorrow." Liao Fan's eyes flashed with confusion. Although he was sitting in Qianming Temple,
, but it is impossible to control everything. For example, this time the ghost king escaped with a trace of his soul, it was not something he could stop.
In fact, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but the last time, a generation of hosts were sacrificed, and the soul that escaped was eventually destroyed. If it happened, it would be reincarnation again.
His master chose to sacrifice back then, maybe this time it will be his turn.
"Dear guest, would you like to hear a story told by a poor monk?" Liao Fan looked at Mu Yi and asked.
"Listen attentively." Mu Yi straightened his body.
"One hundred and thirty years ago, there was a family who sold their daughter in order to support their son. The next night after the girl was bought, the family was destroyed and the money from the sale of the daughter was robbed.
Empty."
"The family that bought the girl was a businessman. The reason why they bought the girl was because she was beautiful. The adopted daughter she was originally promised was treated in every possible way. Because the girl couldn't bear it, she finally stabbed her with a knife one night.
into the businessman's chest, and eventually the girl escaped."
"It's just that when the girl returned home, she found that her home had been in ruins, and her parents and brothers were all bones. The girl was despairing, and the only hope in her heart was shattered. She was confused. At this time, a good man passed by and took the girl away. The good man treated the girl in every possible way.
Take care of her and teach her how to read and write."
"The girl thought that all the hardships were over and she vowed to repay the good man. But a year later, the good man raped her again. Afterwards, the girl thought about committing suicide, but the good man promised to marry her and she believed it. But she didn't expect that within half a year, after that
After a good man had enough fun with her, he sold her to a brothel."
"A few days later, the good man lost everything in the casino, even his life."
"And girls, from now on, become men's playthings and become a walking corpse. If this is the case, maybe it won't be long before the girl, like most of the girls in the building, cannot bear it and chooses to commit suicide. But at this moment, a
The man showed up and took the girl away. As for the brothel, it was burned down by fire that night, and all the women were reduced to ashes in the fire."
"The man took the girl away and taught her to practice. But this girl who had never practiced practice showed amazing talents. In just one month, she overcame the first difficulty. Three months later,
Entering the second difficulty, she opened seven life wheels in a row in two years and reached the peak of the second difficulty. With the incredible aptitude she showed, maybe ten years later, she will become the third difficulty, but at this time,
Disaster strikes again."
"She thought she had enough control over her own destiny, but in the end she discovered that she was just the saddest one. The man told her that the furnace was her final destination. After the man absorbed all the girl's cultivation, he cruelly took everything away.
The truth told her that it was a conspiracy from the moment she was sold by her parents, all because her parents had saved someone before that, and that person was the man who took her away in the end."
"By chance, the man discovered the girl's special physique, which is a rare nine-yin body in one day. This physique is the best furnace. So the man arranged everything. First, he asked the girl's parents to sell her, and then
After killing the girl's family, he made arrangements little by little, allowing the girl to experience despair again and again, and making her heart transform again and again, so that she had the rapid progress in spiritual practice, because suffering itself is a kind of spiritual practice. Although she screamed miserable,
But I also experienced the world of mortals and gained a clear understanding of life. However, the process is a bit cruel, and the truth is even more cruel."
"The man thought he had control of everything, but just when he was proud, he didn't know that the girl's fate changed. The ultimate of nine yins was pure yin. That night, the girl turned into a ghost and was born with sanity. When the man
When he was most proud, he swallowed him alive. From then on, the girl became a ghost and slaughtered the people."
"This also led to the so-called righteous siege. In that battle, the sun and the moon were turned upside down. Although the girl had reached the ultimate level of fierce ghost and was only one step away from becoming the ghost king, she was still almost beaten to death. After this battle, the girl
She disappeared without a trace until a hundred years later, she appeared out of nowhere. By that time, she was already the King of Ghosts."
"After the girl became the Ghost Queen, she began to find her former enemies and killed them one by one. Finally, she attracted an unborn Third Difficulty Master to suppress her and seal her. The descendants of that man guarded this place.
Revenge, but atonement.”
When Liao Fan finished saying the words "atonement", there was a roar around him and the earth shook. At the same time, a sharp laughter echoed in Mu Yi's mind. The laughter was full of sarcasm, defiance, and disdain.
"Boom!"
At the highest point of Qianming Temple, the big bell suddenly chimed. The small bells hanging everywhere in Qianming Temple also vibrated crazily at the same moment. Countless bells echoed, and finally merged into one, turning into a huge force.
Suppressed and down.
The sharp laughter stopped suddenly, and Qianming Temple returned to calm.
"Amitabha, the story of the poor monk is over." Liao Fan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and then closed his eyes.
Mu Yi was silent again. He knew that this was a story and not a story.
"The story is good." Mu Yi commented.
"Do you think the girl in the story should be suppressed?" Liao Fan asked with his eyes closed.
"That's right." Mu Yi said.
"I originally thought that the distinguished guest would have a different answer." Liao Fan shook his head, not disappointed, but his expression looked a little lonely.
"But if I were that girl, I would do it more thoroughly, even if it means annihilating all the people." Mu Yi suddenly looked at Fan and said.
Mu Yi's words made Fan tremble. He finally opened his eyes, but there was no black inside, only white and pale.
"Excellent guest, do you know how I responded when Master told me this story?" Liao Fan asked.
"You shouldn't." Mu Yi replied.
"Yes, it shouldn't be, so I ran away because I felt that she should not be suppressed, but after I saw that everyone was suffering, I came back." Liao Fan said. In fact, his words were contradictory.
But it’s not contradictory.
All living beings suffer, and the suffering is naturally not caused by any one person. Maybe the girl in the story suffered more, but for the sake of one person's convenience, it is not his way to make more people in the world suffer, so he came back because he wants to continue to suppress
, let the girl continue to suffer, and not let all living beings suffer, this is his way, for this, he is willing to sacrifice himself.
But this is only his way, not Mu Yi’s way. (To be continued)
