Chapter 269: A Blow from You
When Venerable Xuanwu heard this, his eyes froze, and his eyes suddenly jumped when he looked at me, and he replied:
"Yes! Li Hong is the only son of the old man, you-what do you mention about him?"
I sighed, but said regretfully:
"Then I'm sorry, Li Hong joined the 'Shinto Alliance' of the Blood Soul Dao people in the human world, indiscriminately killing innocent grass and people, and was killed by Xiaodao not long ago!"
Venerable Xuanwu heard this and said angrily:
"It turned out to be you! The lord once spread the message to the old man that Xiao'er was killed in the human world, but he refused to say who it was! It turned out that you did it, good, good, good! That is it, the old man wants to use this as a lord to seek justice for Xiao'er!"
I waved at him and said:
"Since Xiaodao told you directly, he will definitely give you this opportunity! But before that, I want to ask Li Hong about it—seeing that his physical body is not like a person in the Demon Dao, why did he want to devote himself to the evil path of the 'Shinto Alliance'?"
Xuanwu Venerable took a step forward, and his hands were clenched loudly and replied:
"Do you know what's the use of this? The child is ill-fated, he has been persistent since he was a child, and the old man is proud to have his son!"
I listened to him so firmly that I couldn't help asking:
"Since you are so proud, then why don't you say it? I won't tell you, if he wasn't instigated by the Blood Soul Dao people, and the Demon Venerable in your mouth was recruited, Xiao Dao wouldn't want to kill people in vain!"
"Hmph-"
Venerable Xuanwu said contemptuously, "You claim to be the world's Daomen, full of lies, hypocrisy and cunning, if it weren't for the Venerable Lord to save you, Xiao'er would have been tortured to death, and you still have the face to ask the old man?"
I heard it strangely that Huang Shengying and Li Hong should have the same status at that time, and the former was trapped by love and victimized by scumbags, which led to a great change in her temperament and took pleasure in killing men.
But Li Hong's performance is completely different from her.
From the moment Li Hong appeared, he showed an ordinary indifference, and seemed to be not interested in anything other than hand-to-hand combat with people.
And when I provoked him, he didn't show much emotion, but summoned the tortoise and snake phantom and hit him, without saying a few words at all.
Although Kim San asserts that my life will be a slaughter, a river of blood.
But in my heart, I always remind myself that I must not kill indiscriminately.
From Feijiantan to the desert, then Miaojiang, and finally the underworld, I have always followed this principle.
I am ruthless to the evil way of cultivating, and I am almost a killer;
And for those who are uncertain, I also spend my time trying to understand or probe.
It's a pity that this Li Hong is like suddenly appearing, which always makes me a little apprehensive!
I walked up to Venerable Xuanwu and said:
"Xiaodao doesn't understand the meaning of your words, but it's good that I killed people! If there is a place in the world where the Daomen has failed your father and son, Xiaodao is willing to apologize on his behalf, please understand!"
Xuanwu Venerable probably didn't expect me to say this, and his excited face softened slightly.
After a moment, he spoke:
"The old man was originally the minister of the Ghost Realm Prison Department, and his only son, Li Hongnai, was the old man's - the ...... of the widow"
It turned out that Li Hong was indeed a mortal in the flesh.
About a few hundred years ago, Venerable Xuanwu ran out of life and died. But because he was a hermit during his lifetime, and his soul was stable, so the underworld at that time summoned him to a small position as the prison director.
But not long after the death of the Xuanwu Venerable, his wife gave birth to Li Hong, and the matter was later known to the Xuanwu Venerable, who had already become a minister.
Originally, heaven and man were eternally separated, and the two worlds of yin and yang, even if Venerable Xuanwu was reluctant, he could only let go.
But once when Venerable Xuanwu gave his wife a dream to the world, his wife told him that Venerable Xuanwu had offended a Taoist senior before his death, so now people have come to the door.
Venerable Xuanwu thought that he was already dead, and the grievances and hatreds should be written off.
To his surprise, this Daoist senior didn't follow it at all, and he proposed to put a "forbidden spell" on the widow of Xuanwu Venerable to eliminate grievances.
The "Forbidden Word Mantra" is a cult method from a long time ago, and the person who is cursed cannot speak for the rest of his life, just like the average mute.
At that time, Venerable Xuanwu had the heart to refuse, but when he thought of the plain heart of that Dao Sect senior, I was afraid that as long as he didn't agree, then Li Hong's life might be in danger.
After some consideration, Venerable Xuanwu finally agreed.
But not long after, Venerable Xuanwu actually met his wife in the underworld!
Originally, this should be a good thing, and the husband and wife can practice in the ghost world for another two hundred years and continue to be in love with each other.
However, his wife, who had become a dead soul, told him that the Daomen senior had not kept his promise at all, not only gave Li Hong a "forbidden spell", but also directly detained her soul and threw her into the underworld, claiming that he would make his life worse than death!
This will anger the Xuanwu Venerable.
In anger, he complained to Yan Jun, the underworld, trying to get justice for his family.
But Yan Jun sent someone to inquire, okay!
The predecessor of this Daomen was actually one of the leaders of the Daomen at that time: the master of the Xuanmen Gate!
At that time, although the Daomen had gradually declined, it still had a place for the underworld.
Yan Jun said that although he had the heart to help Venerable Xuanwu seek justice, the art of the Xuanmen Qimen in the human realm was extremely powerful, and the two worlds of humans and ghosts could not come and go freely, so he was really powerless, so he had to wait until his yang life was exhausted before he could liquidate it together.
Xuanwu Venerable was furious, and in a fit of anger, he took his wife out of the underworld and went straight to the demon world.
The Demon Realm is a world where the strong are respected, and survival there is extremely cruel, and nine deaths are life.
And in order to take revenge, the Xuanwu Venerable seized some cultivation resources and treasures by unscrupulous means, and gradually gained a firm foothold until the arrival of the Demon Lord Heavenly Evil.
Decades ago, the Heavenly Evil broke into the Ghost Realm and smashed the Demon Realm, and with his own strength, he actually won the position of the Demon Venerable, and captured the Demon Lord Moluo!
Such earth-shattering magnanimity, as well as various legends about the Heavenly Evil, made Xuanwu Venerable see the hope of revenge.
So, he went to great lengths to worship the heavenly evil, saying that as long as he could avenge himself, he would be willing to be a cow and a horse for the heavenly evil.
The barrier between the human and ghost worlds has existed since ancient times, and except for a very small number of people who can detain souls or have official duties, basically no one can freely enter and leave the two worlds.
After hearing what happened to the Xuanwu Venerable, the Heavenly Evil happily accepted his defection, and also gave him a "Xuanwu Secret Book" to help him cultivate, and promised to save Li Hong in person.
Xuanwu Venerable was a little skeptical at first, after all, it had been so long, Li Hong might have already died, and that Dao Sect senior might have already burped.
But after only a few days, the Demon Venerable Heavenly Evil came back with Li Hong!
Heavenly evil told him that Li Hong was not only in the "forbidden spell" in his body, but also given the "soul arresting curse" by that senior, even if Yang Shou was exhausted, he could not return to the underworld, and he could still only be a wandering ghost in the human world!
While the Xuanwu Venerable was angry, he deeply thanked the Demon Venerable for the grace of the Heavenly Evil.
Tianxiao is quite righteous, and he saw that Li Hong was determined, even after suffering for so many years, he still had a pure heart.
So, he used a magic power to snatch away, and directly punched Li Hong's soul into the body of an idiot in the world, allowing him to experience life from the beginning again!
Hearing this, inexplicably, I felt approved and admired by the Heavenly Evil's approach.
He did not shrink back after taking power like ordinary people, but broke the shackles and ignored the rules, and gave Li Hong the opportunity to be a man again!
Later, when Li Hongyang was about to die, the heavenly evil made him worship under the "Shinto Alliance" of the Blood Soul Daoist, and then privately changed the book of life and death, and let him work for him in the human world until he was killed by me.
Venerable Xuanwu finished speaking in one breath, and I was amazed when I heard it.
I have nothing to blame for the previous practice of the Heavenly Evil, but I didn't dare to agree with the private change of life and death here in the end.
But—
From a selfish point of view, I would like him to do this, but only if Li Hong does not do anything to kill innocent people.
Thinking of this, I said to him:
"Xiao Dao understands, I am not the official of the underworld, and I can't cross the Heavenly Dao to accuse the Demon Venerable of acting recklessly. But—did Li Hong do any evil after he entered the evil path?"
Venerable Xuanwu smiled:
"What's the point of asking this? He has received great favor from the Lord, even if he is broken to pieces, he will not be able to repay him, and even if he has done evil deeds, the old man will be proud!"
I sighed and looked back at Houtu and the generals, and my expression gradually cooled.
Yes, I do sympathize with the experience of Li Hong's family, and I am not qualified to criticize the evil practices, and I even have some admiration in my heart.
But one yard is one yard, in the final analysis, Li Hong still did the evil act of mutilating mortals according to the orders of the Heavenly Evil or the instructions of the Blood Soul Dao.
As a Taoist priest, I naturally can't sit idly by.
The knot in my heart opened, and I had no scruples, and I raised my hands and said:
"In that case, I will give you a chance to take revenge, come!"
Venerable Xuanwu smiled:
"Come on! You are for your heavenly way-that's right! The old man's magic way for the old man--that's right! Everything, just speak with strength!"
After speaking, he once again summoned up the mana of his whole body, and the tortoise and snake phantom was actually a little more condensed than just now.
At this time, Princess Qingluo, who was standing in the distance, suddenly said loudly:
"The Demon Dao belongs to the order - kill!!"
As soon as she twisted her body, she actually took the lead in attacking me, and a few green thunderbolts hit me in front of me at once.
I was slightly alarmed, hadn't she been waiting for the right time to escape?
But I didn't think much about it, I just waved my hand to disperse the green thunder, and posed to get ready to kill them!.
Unexpectedly, when countless demon cultivators and demons, as well as the ice flame giant in the distance, rushed up again, Princess Qingluo suddenly threw the green umbrella in her hand towards me, and her body turned into a blue light and fled into the distance.
"Hehehe, I escaped!"
I said secretly, "It seems that the Heavenly Evil Men are not all sincere!"
Xuanwu Venerable ignored this, he shouted, and with the rush of the demon cultivators around him, the turtle and snake phantom split into two, and one up and down towards me.
At the same time, he stared at me and said:
"A hundred years of grievances, the revenge of killing a son, the old man asks you for justice!
The turtle is a giant black tortoise, which covers the sky and the sun and presses down on me;
The snake, a giant blue light, rolled up against the ground.
I laughed and said:
"Okay!!! Xiaodao will stand still, and the scum of the Dao Sect will be hit by you a hundred years ago!"
Anyway, I didn't even need the Chaos True Body, I directly turned into a human form, and proudly took this blow as a mortal in the flesh!
Houtu and the generals exclaimed at the same time:
"-No, you're going to die!!"
