Chapter 31: The Extremes of Good and Evil
Xu Youqiang was still holding peanuts in his hand, and when he heard my words, he didn't know what reminded him, so he laughed twice.
"Of course I joined the Quanzhen faction, my own sect, can I still run away?"
"Your own sect?" That sounds a little new.
"That's right." I haven't told you yet, Xu Youqiang flicked his phone twice, and he couldn't be busy, "My dad is the twenty-fourth generation head of the Quanzhen faction, and I am his only seedling, if I rebel in adolescence and join the other three sects casually, I am afraid that my father will knock me down the mountain with the dust, and he will cut off the relationship with me from now on." ”
Xu sighed again: "But I'm not far from being beaten, if my father knows, you are a person who has not undergone orthodox cultivation, and your Taoism is higher than mine, I am afraid that my good days will come to an end." So brother, when you arrive at the Taoist Association, please hide your clumsiness, don't show all your skills, okay? ”
I looked at Xu Youqiang and couldn't help laughing again, it was really the pitiful thing Xu Youqiang said, so I couldn't bear to refuse, so I could only nod my head at him randomly, indicating that I knew.
It's just that I didn't expect that Xu Youqiang's identity was even tougher than I imagined.
Originally, I thought that he was just like me, and he got some opportunity to start practicing, but who knew that he was the second generation of the Dao.
Even if you don't have this talent, with such a father, it's not far behind.
"Then you said before that your parents want you to go to college, what does this mean?"
I'm starting to suspect now that Xu Youqiang was lying to me before.
Xu Youqiang also saw my suspicion of him, and hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't lie to you before, my parents really want me to be admitted to a university, and my mother has the strongest desire to let me be an ordinary person, but I think I am more interested in being a Taoist priest than studying." ”
As he spoke, Xu Youqiang clasped his palms together and nodded at me.
Hearing Xu Youqiang say this, the smile on my lips gradually faded, and I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.
My father, like Xu Youqiang's mother, has always wanted me to live an ordinary life, but over the years, I have practiced Taoism. and my birthday, which is destined to make me different from ordinary people.
Even if I don't cause those troubles, there will be troubles that will actively provoke me.
I don't know how my father would have felt if he had found out that I had quit my job as a teacher and embarked on the road to the Taoist Association.
It can only be said that everything is fate, and everything has a certainty.
Along the way, Xu Youqiang and I chose to take the train.
The Taoist Association is located in the south, I thought it was a more prosperous city, after Xu Youqiang's introduction, I learned that in order to clean the Taoist Association, and to maintain the unfathomable setting of the Taoist Association, directly chartered a mountain, and set up a location there.
In other words, after we get off the train, we have to take a bus to the mountain to reach our destination.
Xu Youqiang had a familiar expression when he said this, as if he had already adapted to it, and I couldn't say anything.
After getting off the bus, I carried my suitcase, and Xu Youqiang, who had already gotten off the bus in front of me, looked around for a while and waved at me.
"That's the way, I've already said hello to my parents, saying that you are my college classmates, and they warmly welcome your arrival!"
I looked at him and smiled.
I know that Xu Youqiang will definitely explain my identity to his parents, but it doesn't matter, my life is no secret.
It's just that I never thought that this trip to the Taoist Association would change my whole life in the future.
Xu Youqiang and I talked and laughed all the way, but we didn't feel tired, and when we arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xu Youqiang and I were ready to take a breath, and then continue to climb up, when we suddenly heard a noise in the distance.
Following the sound, he saw a group of people wearing dark blue robes gathered around. When I stood up and looked closely, I realized that they were surrounded by a wounded wolf demon.
Now the wolf looked at them with resentment, and every now and then bared his fangs, only to be rewarded with a fierce kick.
"You, the wolf demon, dare to show your teeth and claws to us, and now you will be subdued, and you will not be harmed in the future!"
The Taoist priest who spoke looked arrogant, as if subduing this wolf demon was a gift to it, but these words made me frown unconsciously.
In the future, the meaning of these words is that this wolf demon has not done anything now, and they have made it look like this.
It is not easy for a spirit to cultivate, especially like these animals that have opened their spiritual roots, if they want to cultivate to this realm, it is often even more difficult than human cultivation.
"What nonsense!"
When I saw that they wanted to do something to the wolf demon again, my heart rose in anger, and without thinking about it, I threw down my suitcase and walked towards them.
"Wait." I didn't take two steps, and my hand was suddenly grabbed by Xu Youqiang, only to see him looking at me with a cautious face, shaking his head slightly at me, and said in a low voice: "Li Sheng, calm down, don't be carried away by your sense of justice." They are orthodox people, the heads of the four major sects, and we can't afford to mess with them. ”
"Didn't you hear what they just said?" I asked with a fiery temperament.
Seeing Xu Youqiang looking straight at me, remembering that night, he decided to beat Sun Liping to pieces, and suddenly he was a little speechless.
At this time, I realized that for them, the so-called orthodox Taoist priests, the standard of looking at things is fundamentally different from that of us wild paths.
In our view, everything has a spirit, and as long as we do not do great evil, we all have the opportunity to do good.
In the eyes of these people, as long as they become a resentful spirit, it is evil and needs to be completely eradicated, and I find it difficult to agree with this way of looking at things.
"Li Sheng, listen to me, don't go." Xu Youqiang took my hand stiffly, and his tone was a little helpless, "I know what you think, if you change to another sect, I can help you stop them, but this orthodox person has always acted arrogantly." But all the spirits who have cultivated to perfection are the targets they have to deal with. Listen to me, don't get into trouble, okay? ”
Xu Youqiang's words suddenly made a strong sense of pathos rise in my heart, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.
I originally thought that I practiced Taoism not only to protect myself, but also to uphold justice in this world.
I have always been clear about good and evil, but now I know that in the eyes of some people, good is good, evil is evil, extreme good and extreme evil are mixed together, and it can form a so-called justice, isn't it funny to say?
When I opened my eyes again, I shook off Xu Youqiang's hand, but when I raised my eyes, I saw that those Taoist priests had already walked away, and Xu Youqiang stopped in front of me with a stride and shook his head at me slightly.
