The old boatman smiled, took out a short knife from his arms and handed it to Lin Nan.

"Now that time has been stopped by Patriarch Bodhi with great mana, you have every chance to cut the neck of the fox demon and save yourself. ”

Lin Nan's face changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered that he had already passed the four precepts.

But there's one last ring!

That is, the killing ring!

If you kill the fox demon, you will not be able to pass the assessment of the old boatman, and you will not have the opportunity to see the Inquiry Desk.

If you don't kill the fox demon, people will die empty, and nothing will be useless!

Lin Nan smiled bitterly, "How to solve this problem?"

The old boatman smiled, "In my opinion, the front and back are solutions. ”

"Isn't that the same as not saying it?" Lin Nan shrugged helplessly.

"Monks don't speak. ”

"Huh. ”

Lin Nan glanced at his mouth, he was holding the short knife, and his brain was running rapidly.

First of all, he had to make sure that the assessment of this killing ring had always been the same? For example, those who saw the Inquiry Desk had also encountered the same scene?

If so, how did they pass the assessment?

Or is it that because of the appearance of the woman in red in the illusion, the assessment order has been disrupted, and what is happening now is unique?

There are too many questions, bothering Lin Nan.

He didn't care about the woman in red in the illusion, and frowned and thought deeply.

Before all the questions, there's something more basic.

If he didn't figure it out, Lin Nan couldn't make a choice.

He slowly raised his head, looked into the old boatman's eyes, and asked word by word, "Now." ”

"Is it a fantasy?"

The old boatman was stunned and laughed dumbly.

"Good question. ”

"It's a pity, this is the reality, if you die, you really die, don't think about luck. ”

Lin Nan frowned again, secretly thinking about the truth and falsehood of his words.

If it were, he wouldn't know his failures when he died.

If not, you will miss the opportunity to reach the Inquiry Desk.

After being deceived by Li Zong in the forest last time, Lin Nan encountered another gamble. However, the cost of the gamble seems to be greater.

Lin Nan inexplicably remembered a story in his head, which was told to him by his mother when he was a child.

Mother said that the Buddhist monks are all great sages.

There was a monk who had been bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, and his little disciple saw it and asked strangely:

"Master, that mosquito keeps biting you, why don't you shoot it to death?"

The monk smiled: "Buddhism pays attention to reincarnation, maybe this mosquito is your mother in your previous life, or your brothers and sisters in the next life, how can I bear to kill it?"

"If it doesn't suck my blood, it will suck the blood of others, and if it doesn't suck blood, it will die. ”

"Amitabha. My Buddha is compassionate, and I must never kill. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Nan's brows furrowed even deeper.

The old boatman said seductively: "The fox girl is pregnant, if she dies, even the little baby in her body will lose her life, and you have said that the baby is innocent." ”

"Moreover, the baby will grow up, and he will get married, have children, and then reproduce the next generation..."

"In the long run, this represents countless lives, can you bear to abandon them?"

Lin Nan smiled.

There is no solution to this problem if you think deeply, just like a knot, the more you untie it, the more chaotic it is, at this time, you can only cut the mess quickly, and even the heart will be unstable if you think about it too much, it seems to be nothing, but in fact it is extremely dangerous.

Lin Nan remembered another story.

Two ships anchored in a storm, carrying a hundred men and one person respectively.

But he only had a rope in his hand to help the ship dock.

Which side to save, nature is clear at a glance.

The fox demon had killed hundreds of civilians, and if those people were alive, their descendants would also be a huge number.

The fox demon was saved today, and more people will be killed in the future.

When Lin Nan opened his eyes again, his face was indifferent.

He clenched the short knife and stabbed into the fox demon's neck without hesitation, slashing lightly.

A line of crimson blood slowly appeared on the fox demon's neck, and if time did not stop, the fox demon would fall to the ground in the next second, and a large amount of blood would erupt like a fountain.

The old boatman shook his head, and with a sigh he said, "You have committed a murder offense. ”

Lin Nan was unmoved, "I killed her, but I did the right thing for heaven!"

But this is not in keeping with Buddhist dogma. ”

Lin Nan sneered, "If the Buddha is merciful, why did he stand by and watch when the fox demon killed hundreds of ordinary people?"

"Afraid of getting your hands dirty?"

There was a hint of anger on the old boatman's face: "You are a devil, sooner or later you will go astray!"

Lin Nan laughed when he heard this, "It's ridiculous, killing her is evil, then who will save the people in the world?

The old boatman was stunned and speechless.

Lin Nan snorted: "What about the Demon Dao? I don't like anyone who doesn't like it, and if you want to kill it, you can kill it!"

He looked at the old boatman with a sneer: "I am the devil, what can you do to me?!"

He had already seen that in this Bodhi Illusory Sea, not only Lin Nan's internal strength could not be used, but so was the old boatman!

Even if the old boatman's real cultivation is high, Lin Nan still doesn't really think that he will lose.

The old boatman was silent for a long time, and his face was stunned.

He remembered a long, long time ago, in a Buddha hall in Kapila, he sat opposite his master.

The old boatman still doesn't think he has lost.

Finally, the old boatman sighed, "You go, turn back to the other side, the next level." ”

Lin Nan raised his eyebrows, "So, I passed?"

The old boatman nodded slightly.

The next moment, frozen time runs again.

The fox demon screamed miserably, the blood stained the placket red, and fell into the blue sea, splashing with a splash,

Since then, the sea has been calm.

Lin Shisan was still sitting on the bow of the boat and slapping the water with her feet, and she smiled when she saw Lin Nan regain her energy.

Lin Nan was stunned, and always felt that Lin Shisan's appearance and temperament had changed again.

If he was a child of five or six years old before, but now he has changed to about ten years old, and there is a little more difference in his pale red eyes.

'Evolved again?' Lin Nan was shocked.

The old boatman frowned, as if he didn't want Lin Nan to think deeply, he changed the topic and said, "This fox demon is not dead yet. ”

"Not dead?"

Lin Nan was surprised, his head was cut off, and he wanted to continue to live unless he reached the Yuan Shen Realm.

The old boatman said: "Actually, this fox demon is not from the Tang Dynasty, its name is Daji, and it has killed tens of millions of ordinary people. ”

"In order to punish it, the Bodhi Patriarch sealed it into the illusory sea, and it had to undergo 1,111 deaths before it could fall into samsara. ”

"In the long years, she died one hundred and twenty times, and she was still more than nine hundred. ”

Lin Nan suddenly realized.

It turned out that this fox demon still had such a background, and the legendary woman who caused the destruction of the Shang Dynasty was actually seen by him.

However, as far as Lin Nan feels, the appearance of Daji, who is in the legend, is nothing more than that, and the aesthetics of the ancients are still slightly different from now.

The boat gradually heard the shore, and although it was still the same place from which it came, the scenery changed completely.

The sky was leaden gray, thunderclouds were surging, and the sight was in ruins, overgrown with weeds, and the earth seemed to be dead.
