Chapter 122: What is a Demon (Part II)
"You ......"
I just wanted to ask, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know what to say, I gritted my teeth, seemed to use all my strength, and asked, "Are you a demon veteran?" This sentence seems to contain a huge force of ten thousand catties, which makes me breathless, I have clearly determined it in my heart, but I am subconsciously, I am still rejecting, I don't want to believe this fact, unless, unless he says it himself!
"Manifest the beginning...... Do you know what a demon is? What is the Tao? ”
Hearing my question, Hanako was still looking at the endless void lightly, and didn't look back at me.
I was stunned, what is the devil...... What is the Tao...... After hesitating for a moment, I said coldly: "Those who are heinous and those who cause trouble in the world can be called demons, and those who educate sentient beings and support justice can be the Tao." Isn't that so? You don't know how many years you have been cultivating, and you don't know this truth? You ......" I wanted to continue questioning, but, I don't know why, I have so many cruel words in my heart, and I can't say it at this moment.
"yes...... Demons and Tao, good and evil, have always been opposing existences, and when I was so old with you, I also thought so, but one year, my master and I traveled to the Heavenly Evil Mountain, and strayed into the Demon Cave, my master in order to protect me from the demons, and one of the demon kings fought for seven days and seven nights, and finally there were many demons, my master was defeated, with the last true qi, sent me out of the Heavenly Evil Mountain, I returned to the Maoshan faction, ascetic Taoism, in order to avenge my master, with my blood sacrificed for nine hundred and eighty-one days, Finally, a demon slayer knife has been refined! ”
The old name Hanako seemed to be recalling the past that had been sealed for many years, and his voice began to tremble, which showed that he didn't want to recall...... "I took that demon slayer knife and went to Tianyi Mountain to destroy the demons in the thirty-six caves!" When I returned to the Maoshan faction, I was driven out of the Maoshan faction by the head of the sect at that time, giving me the reason that the killing was too heavy and I was not worthy of being a disciple of the Taoist sect. But then I understood the real answer, it turned out that because I destroyed the demons in the thirty-six caves of the Heavenly Evil Mountain, and caused all the demons in the world to rise together, the righteous path was under pressure, and in order to weigh the dispute between the Tao and the demons, I had to bear all the blame! ”
Hearing this, my heart suffocated, I never thought that the legendary Heavenly Evil Mountain Demon Slaying was actually true. Many Daomen descendants, no one has ever dared to mention the place of Tianyi Mountain, and they have always been secretive. In fact, what shocked me even more was that she was always called Hanako...... No, you should call him the old demon! What shocked me even more was that the old demon had such a legendary past.
And his experience is really appalling!
I opened my eyes slightly, even holding my breath, and continued to listen to the old Tao of the Xuan Demon. The old demon Dao paused, and then said: "I was chased and killed by the Demon Dao for thirty years, and I was also named the Demon Dao by the Dao Sect for thirty years, but those are not important, the important thing is that the confusion in my heart cannot be solved, what is a demon?" What is the Tao? Is it wrong for me to subdue demons and avenge my master? Are those who claim to be righteous people right? In order to weigh the pros and cons, they used me as a shield, saying that I was a demon...... "Speaking of this, the old demon turned around and looked at me quietly, I trembled, and I didn't know how to ...... "Xianchu...... Is the devil you see necessarily the devil? Is the Word you see necessarily the Word? Are all your attachments right? ”
"I ......"
I had nothing to say all of a sudden, in fact, I really wanted to argue, but for a while, I seemed to be completely suppressed by the momentum of the old demon, and even if I had something to say in my stomach, I didn't know how to say it.
The old demon said lightly: "What demons, what Dao, are just one-sided words spoken in the mouth of the world, no one really recognizes the devil and the Tao, and no one dares to recognize it, in the world, who has not done anything wrong?" Who hasn't had the slightest evil thought? I have been between the devil and the Tao for 70 years, whether it is the Tao or the devil, in my eyes, it is like a passing cloud, but that's it. I am bent on creating a third way beyond the worldly path! ”
"The third way?"
I frowned and asked in dismay.
"Yes, the third way, abandon the Tao and the devil, abandon the root of good and evil, and wander outside the heaven and the earth, wandering between the heaven and the earth, but the demons are easy to submit, and the Daomen side is chasing and beating me fiercely, and there are constantly rookies in the Dao, pressing step by step, so that my understanding of the Tao has an essential deviation. Therefore, in the end, I will not be able to create the third path, I need a successor, but this inheritor must be a cultivation wizard who is unique in ten thousand, before he can inherit my mantle and create the third path. ”
The Xuan Demon Old Dao smiled bitterly, and then said: "I explored the heavens and found one of the three Mao oracles of the Maoshan faction, the "Shangqing Edict", as referred to in the above Qing Edict, the cultivation wizard between heaven and earth, and finally I locked on your senior brother Chu Qi, Chu Qi has the secret compass of one of the treasures of the Maoshan faction, and he is a cultivation wizard who does not come out of a thousand years, but the higher his qualifications, the less easy it is to be revealed, and the average half-bucket water Taoist priest can't see his talent at all. Since he was born, I have been observing him by his side, and created the best opportunity for him to cultivate, and later, as I expected, he met your master Yang Yuanshan, although Yang Yuanshan said that the Tao is not very good, but he is full of righteousness, which is the best candidate for the seventh year of the first month. Everything is under my control, but the seventh day of the first month is pure and good, and it is impossible for him to abandon the Dao Sect and follow me to comprehend the third Dao, especially Yang Yuanshan's obstruction......"
"Is this the reason why you led my senior brother into the devil?"
I asked coldly.
"As I said, what I want to create is the third way, the devil and the way, and neither can be compared with it!"
The old demon glared at me fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to kill, just looking at me, it made me shudder...... But soon, he regained his kind appearance, and said lightly: "Those who want to achieve great things must first go through extraordinary tribulations, and the child in the seventh year of the first year has a lot of opportunities, but it also made him gradually grow up, and for the first time he led him out of the Dao Gate, he was stopped by your ancestor Old Man White Crane, and Old Man White Crane not only washed away the demonic obstacles in his heart, but also made his Dao heart stronger!" ”
"Aren't you in vain?"
I sneered.
"You're wrong!"
The old demon Dao suddenly glanced at me, and then said: "What the old man of the White Crane washed was the demonic obstacle in his heart, and what I created was not the demonic path, so he washed his body and mind for the seventh day of the first month, but it was more beneficial to me." But what happened after that was something I didn't expect...... I didn't expect that the kid in the seventh year of the first year would kill me with his own hands, and I was powerless to stop his sword...... I fell into the land of the Nine Secluded Places, leaving behind the mantle inheritance, at that time, I was disheartened, maybe I shouldn't have created any third way, but due to fate, the child in the seventh year of the first month still remembered me as a master...... After all calculations, he still let him get my mantle inheritance, but before I found him, he had already used that mantle inheritance to strayed into the demon path and became the lord of all demons and the demon lord of the world! ”
"Do you want to tell me that it is not what you want my junior seventh senior brother to become what he is now?"
I gritted my teeth, I really couldn't bear the sophistry of the old demons.
"Manifest the beginning...... I'm not telling you about it, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, what matters is that I've done something wrong...... I shouldn't just pass on the mantle like that, in fact, if I want to become a human demon lord, it is not difficult, why should I hold a human demon lord? And I'm in this situation now, a disciple of the mantle inheritance has become the lord of all demons, and another named disciple who wants to kill me and then quickly becomes the lord of the demon world, what have I gained? I've been planning for decades and more than ten years, is it just for the current situation? ”
The Demon Elder suddenly turned his head and stared at me with unblinking eyes.
"Uh...... This...... If you are a demon and your disciples have such achievements, you should be happy, but why are you not happy? A disciple of the Demon Lord of the World, a registered disciple of the Lord of the Demon Realm, you are not happy...... Are you really just trying to create a third way? ”
I don't know what I'm talking about, what is good, what is evil, what is Tao, what is demon, and now I am completely surrounded by the words of the old demon...... "If that's the case, the current situation, although it is not a situation that you can control, but it is also a situation that you indirectly caused!" It was you who made the Demon Lord of the world, and it was you who contributed to the birth of the Lord of the Demon Realm, and now it's not just that the Dao Gate can't live in peace, but even the Demon Dao is a mess, the old Dao of the Demons, are you really not responsible? ”
"Of course I'm responsible, and it's because I regret that I caused the current situation, so I was born again and found you!"
The Xuan Demon Old Dao suddenly pointed at me, and before I could react, I only heard the Xuan Demon Old Dao say again: "You are different from them, your qualifications are mediocre, you are not a cultivation wizard, your heart is pure, and your Dao heart is strong, you should be the most ordinary Dao sect descendant, but it is precisely because of this that you can become the only magic weapon to restrain those two evil obstacles!" Do you know that the mixed yuan exercises you have cultivated are the superior exercises that have been lost in the Daomen for more than a thousand years, and their exercises are just to the yang, which is the only exercise to restrain demons. ”
My legs went limp, and I sat down on the ground in an instant......
