Chapter 1323: Wisdom Sword Slashes Three Poisons (II)
"The blood is gone!" Just when the scene changed in the illusion, in the Yin and Yang Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Array, the blood-colored light on Lin Bai's body suddenly dissipated, and his face no longer had any emotional fluctuations, just like an ancient well without waves, this picture made the little black cat happy in his heart, and then said with some surprise: "Savage old man, the blood light of the formation is scattered, and the mood fluctuations are all gone, why hasn't this kid woken up?" ”
The old man was silent, but his brows were also tight, and he was a little unclear about the situation at this time. According to the records in his memory inheritance, as long as the emotions of the people in the formation are calm, it means that the forbidden effect of the formation has been completely completed. But why is Lin Bai still immersed in illusions and not waking up, this is really puzzling to him!
"Mom, old man, Xiaoqing, Jiaer, I have something I want to ask you?" After swallowing the balls, Lin Bai slowly put down his chopsticks, glanced at the table, and said; "What if, I mean what if. If there is an opportunity for you to never grow old again, or to live hundreds of years longer, we can live together as a family for as long as possible. But this opportunity may sacrifice a lot of things, do you choose to sacrifice those things, or reject this opportunity for immortality? ”
When the words fell, there was a sudden silence at the dining table, and everyone looked at Lin Bai silently, their faces full of disbelief.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, what kind of illusion is this, everything is as if it was happening in reality. Maybe this is an obsession, which makes people obsessed with it, without distinguishing between right and wrong, and not knowing the truth.
"Stinky boy, what are you kidding, how can there be any way to live forever in the world, if there is such a thing, wouldn't everything be messed up." After being silent for a long time, Old Man Liu chuckled and said, quite surprised.
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Old man, don't care if I'm joking, or if it's really there, just tell me what you think." ”
As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent again, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed. Immortality, whether it is for physiognomy or ordinary people, can be said to have great temptation and attraction. If there is really such a glimmer of possibility in the world, which can make people have an endless lifespan and allow people to complete many unfinished things, who can categorically push away the temptation?
"What needs to be sacrificed?" After being silent for a long time, Liu Huiyun looked at Lin Bai a little nervously and said slowly.
"At the cost of some people's lives, probably the lives of most people, and even the world could be in the same turmoil as it was decades ago." Since he wanted to get out of the illusion of obsession, he had to torture his heart, Lin Bai didn't hide anything, and said slowly: "As soon as the road to immortality opens, there may be many powerful bad people coming to this world and causing all order to collapse. ”
As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent again. Just like when Lin Bai told Chen Bai'an and Zhang Sanmad about this incident, everyone's hearts were struggling in pain. On the one hand, there is the temptation of immortality, and on the other side, there is the tragedy that may arise after making a choice. Compared with the two, it is really difficult to choose.
"Nonsense, even if there is such a possibility, how can the people of our family do such a thing!" As Lin Bai expected, the first person to stand up against this matter was indeed Old Man Liu, who saw him blowing his beard and glaring, and said angrily: "This peace today is what my comrades-in-arms have exchanged for throwing their heads and spilling their blood." If our family destroys this peace for these selfish interests, even if I can live forever, how can I have the face to face those sacrificed comrades-in-arms in my heart? ”
"That's your choice, old man." Lin Bai nodded noncommittally, then looked at Liu Huiyun and said slowly: "Mom, what do you think of this matter, do you want me to do it, or do you also stop me like the old man?" ”
"It's great for a family to be together for a lifetime, but if you sacrifice so many people in exchange for this peace, you have to think that your longevity is bought with other people's blood for the rest of your life, and you don't want this longevity." Liu Huiyun was stunned for a moment, and after muttering for a long time, she showed a look of relief on her face and said slowly.
Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people, how can there be people in the world who are not greedy for immortality. But Liu Huiyun has done good deeds all her life, even ants can't bear to hurt her, if she wants to gain immortality, she has to sacrifice the lives of countless people, how can she feel at ease.
"What do you think?" After listening to Old Man Liu and Liu Huiyun's answers, Lin Bai didn't have any expression, slowly turned his head, gently held the hands of Xia Xiaoqing and He Jiaer, stared at the women, and asked in a deep voice.
The attitude of the women can be said to be the most important part of Lin Bai's heart knot about whether he wants to open the immortal gate and seek immortality. Need to know that a few women to him, can be described as incomparably sincere, from the acquaintance to the present, I don't know how many hardships have been experienced, how many joys and sorrows have been experienced, but the women are like the first time to him, life and death depend on each other, never give up.
A hundred years is a long time, but in fact it is fleeting. Many times, Lin Bai is trying his best to consider that if time is allowed to pass, the separation of life and death between himself and his daughters is a sure thing. And not being able to be by his side, and letting himself be alone in the years to come, I am afraid that it is the last thing that the women want to see.
At the beginning, he was not afraid of danger and went to South America, not just the secret technique of Chen Lu's ancestor held in Chen Bai'an's hand, hoping to use the secret technique to increase the longevity of several women, so that the day of life and death parting could come later.
But as Lin Bai's mana entered the realm of transforming gods, and after his martial arts cultivation reached the innate realm, and he had an incomparably long lifespan, he knew better than anyone that even if he had the aid of the secret technique of health preservation, he would not be able to change his parting in the future.
This was originally a dead knot, but now there is an immortal gate, and they have the possibility of leading to the other side, and even have the possibility of taking their relatives to live on the other side, which also allows them to have a long life like themselves. In this way, this dead knot no longer exists, but the sacrifice of opening this dead knot is too cruel, and he doesn't know what choice the girls will make.
"Life is like a hundred years, and time is always too rushed." After He Jiaer sighed lightly, there was a charming smile between his eyebrows, and he said softly: "Being able to meet you in our most beautiful time is already the greatest blessing in this life, where can we covet so much again." It's so beautiful to meet and stay together, if it's bloody, even if you live forever, there won't be any fun at all. ”
"And even if we are gone, there are still little guys like Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Lizhen, we can ignore so much as adults, but we must accumulate some merits for our children and grandchildren. If we destroy the world for the sake of immortality, then if these little guys encounter any greed in the future, will they also follow our example and destroy us for personal gain? ”
Ning Huanyan has always been open-mouthed, even at this juncture, it was a big thorn that threw the words out, and even touched the heads of Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Lizhen, and asked Lin Bai with a smile.
However, although Ning Huanyan's words are vulgar, the truth in them is not vulgar. As long as everything has a beginning, there is a first time, there will be a second time, and the so-called upward and downward effect, they parents do this kind of thing, who can guarantee that their children and grandchildren will not be like them, for a certain demand, to make a choice to sacrifice them.
"Immortality, we desire, we also want eternal life by your side forever, but this kind of eternal life, we don't need it." Xia Xiaoqing shook her head slowly, then covered her mouth and said with a smile: "And according to your temperament, if you really have immortality, you still have it, I don't know how many good sisters and good sisters you have to find for us, besides, if you have been looking at your face for hundreds of years, thousands of years, it is not tired of dying crookedly." ”
Everyone laughed dumbly when they heard this, even Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's your choice?" After smiling bitterly for a moment, Lin Bai slowly retracted the smile on his face, solemnly looked at the people sitting around the dining table, and said softly: "This choice cannot be changed if you make it, do you want to regret it now?" ”
"Repentance, what do we regret?" Old Man Liu patted Lin Bai's shoulder gently, waved his big hand, and said with a smile: "For the New Year, don't talk about these bad things anymore." Immortality is good, and it is true that we can enjoy boundlessly, but our hearts are flesh and blood, not iron lumps, and we can't do that kind of thing as a snake and scorpion with a cold heart and a cold liver. ”
The words fell, and there was laughter at the dinner table. Looking at the smiling people at the table, Lin Bai suddenly got up without warning, turned around and walked outside the house. With each step he took, everything around the table shattered like a mirror, and then turned into colorful clouds, but these clouds were much more agile than before, and seemed to have more life.
"Among the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, ignorance is the origin, and it really lives up to its name." Looking at the dazzling clouds all around, Lin Bai's eyes were blazing, looking at the void in front of him, the phantom of the true master who was covered by countless clouds, and said lightly: "First let me be obsessed with immortality, and then let me be greedy because of immortality, and then because of the resistance of my family in the illusion, I have hatred in my heart." It's a pity that it's only a little bit away, and it really makes me lost in this endless three-poison obsession, and I will never be able to extricate myself. ”
"Just a little, just a little ......bit," after a long time, the phantom of the True Master muttered a wry smile.
"The slightest difference is a thousand miles lost." Lin Bai smiled noncommittally and said lightly: "You only thought that people in this world were as deep as you in the bewitchment of these three poisons, but you didn't expect that the choice made by my family happened to be at the other extreme of yours. ”
"Even if the ban is broken, you haven't seen my true body yet, and you never know how powerful the person you're facing is!" The True Master Phantom smiled coldly when he heard this, and his already ethereal face became more and more blurred, but his voice was extremely cold, and he said lightly: "Believe me, after you see me, the ending of the battle for the opening of the immortal gate must not be the current situation!" ”
"It doesn't matter what the result is, the important thing is that I have seen my heart and know my true nature." Lin Bai was not angry or happy, waved his big hand slightly, and said lightly: "And no matter what, you have lost a game in my hands!" The prohibition of greed, hatred, and ignorance is broken! ”
