Looking at Xuan Ai's calm eyes, Xie Tathagata looked slightly stunned, and memories like a flood kept coming.
It was a past that he didn't want to recall, and it was also a past that was as hazy as a walking corpse.
Immediately, his body trembled, and he felt as if he was in another world. When he looked at Xuan Ai again, there was a deep look of confusion on his eyebrows.
"Why are you like this!"
He knew Xuan Ai very well. Observing every novice monk in the Muhuang Buddhist Temple was one of the few pleasures he had in his life of imprisonment.
Perhaps in Xuan Ai's view, the other party chose his body to host just because he was one of the few strong body refiners in the Muhuang Buddhist Temple.
In fact, with the strength of Xie Tathagata's False Ten Stars, the bonus brought by the physical strength can be said to be minimal.
He chose Xuan Ai not by chance, but because he valued Xuan Ai's ability to keep his true intentions after receiving the deformed education of false compassion from Muhuang Buddhist Temple since childhood.
Especially appreciate the other person's courage to admit and correct mistakes.
He believed that Xuan Ai could see through the hypocritical nature of Muhuang Buddhist Temple, and he even believed that Xuan Ai was expected to inherit his mantle and become the second evil Tathagata in the world.
But these beliefs were all shattered into pieces the moment he and Xuan Ai looked at each other.
It's just that Xuan Ai's gaze is so familiar to him at this moment. It is a kind of plainness that sees through the world but is not above all things. It is also the gaze that he has observed countless times and belongs to Shan Tathagata and Tongwu.
Xuan Ai clasped his hands together and said softly:
"When a person is trapped in a prison that cannot be broken out, loneliness is his biggest enemy. In order not to be lost in this loneliness.
I began to look at myself, everything that had happened in the past, and truly looked at my uncle’s meaningless experiences during this period from an objective perspective.”
"It's meaningless?" Hearing this Xie Tathagata was a little angry.
He forgot that he was still in the battlefield, and he also forgot that the most important thing he should do now was to return all his consciousness to his body, instead of getting lost in this spiritual sea that did not belong to him!
But in his eyes, Xuan Ai turned into Shan Tathagata at this moment, and became the person he feared and hated the most in his life.
He can ignore the ridicule and abuse of him by everyone in the world, but he cannot regard the words of Shan Tathagata as fart!
Xuan Ai nodded slightly at this, as if he ignored the violent storm rising in the spiritual sea, and also ignored that the Demon Suppression Tower that bound him was already crumbling.
He just continued in a calm manner:
"Isn't it true? During this time, my uncle has been working so hard to seek the truth, and he has been working so hard to prove that he, the evil Tathagata, is different from the good Tathagata.
But in the end, after doing so much, you are back to the starting point. You passively joined the second game because of Dao Mo's few words.
Passively thinking that by winning the second game, I can achieve what I want.
But you have ignored that the Tao Demon has become a Tao Immortal, and God's will is not as omnipotent as expected.
You passively accept everything that happens, but forget your original intention.
In fact, my uncle should not call himself Evil Tathagata, but should be called Stupid Tathagata."
After saying this, Xuan Ai looked at Xie Tathagata calmly. At this time, the storm around him had stopped, and the Demon Suppression Tower stood firmly in place.
But the heavy pressure of an impending storm subconsciously made Xuan Ai's Yangshen unstable. Although he appeared to be very calm, at least he looked incredibly calm.
"You want to make me angry. After breaking this demon-suppressing tower, I will take the opportunity to release you.
And then we use the power of Kinnara from the outside to seize control of this body, right?"
Xie Tathagata's tone is also extremely calm, but it is like the calm before the storm. The calmer it is, the more terrifying it is that the upcoming natural disaster will be!
Xuan Ai shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, you are too worried. Kinnara has never regarded you as an enemy from the beginning, and I will not regard you as an enemy.
It’s just that during this period of time, I have watched my uncle walking indifferently in every corner of the human world and the demon world, I have watched his uncle look at the sky in confusion, and I have watched his life as unreal as possible.
I feel a kind of sadness.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the uncle tried so hard to prove that he was not the shadow of Master Shan Tathagata, but his actions could never escape the shadow of Master Shan Tathagata.
Do you still remember the first thing you did after calling yourself Evil Tathagata?"
"Destroy the Demon Suppression Tower." Xie Tathagata lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"What about the second thing?"
"Kill Tongzhi, the abbot of Muhuang Buddhist Temple." Xie Rulai raised his eyes, vaguely seeming to understand why Xuan Ai said this.
Xuan Ai faced Xie Tathagata's glaring gaze and said calmly:
"The reason for destroying the Demon Suppression Tower was your fear of Master Shan Tathagata.
Killing Abbot Tongzhi was another act that you tried hard to distinguish from Master Shan Tathagata, because you knew that Master Shan Tathagata would not do such a thing."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xie Tathagata frowned slightly, but in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
Xuan Ai also knew that Xie Tathagata understood his intention.
This time he didn't speak, he just nodded to Xie Tathagata, then sat cross-legged, clasped his hands and recited the sutra in a low voice.
The dark and dark Demon Suppressing Tower that trapped it was instantly covered by infinite golden light until it became more illusory, like a shadow in a dream that could be shattered at the touch of a touch.
"Have you broken away from the shackles of the Demon Suppressing Tower?" Xie Tathagata's expression changed slightly. He clearly discovered that at some point, his Demon Suppressing Tower built with spiritual power had been destroyed by Xuan Ai.
Xuan Ai opened his eyes, and the familiar calm tone sounded again:
"The purpose of the Demon-Suppressing Tower is to suppress demons. From the beginning to the end, the poor monk is not a demon.
So how can this tower control me?
This is the case here, and it is also the case in Muhuang Buddhist Temple.
Perhaps the reason why uncle has been unable to get out of the Demon Suppressing Tower is because he sincerely believes that he is a demon and is the inner demon of uncle Shan Tathagata."
After saying this, Xuan Ai closed his eyes and said nothing, and the Demon Suppressing Tower disappeared without a trace.
Xie Tathagata took one last deep look at Xuan Ai, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
Xuan Ai quietly opened one eye and found that Xie Tathagata had indeed left, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the way his eyes are moving around at this moment doesn't show the slightest trace of the Tathagata's magnanimity.
