Chapter 129: Demon
After receiving this baptism, you are a monk of the Tianyao Sect, before that you were just a murderer, it was you who killed your own mother with your own hands, I can hide all the truth for you, but you also have to give me a reasonable answer.
She deserves it, and if I don't kill her, she will kill me.
She's damned, but have you thought about it? Ling Wenxuan, don't you have any sin or guilt at all?
The woman's kind gaze, solemn expression, and soft voice echoed throughout the hall.
Godmother, tell me, what the hell am I going to do to atone for my sins? You can do whatever I want, as long as I don't hand me over to them, because then I'm going to die.
Ling Wenxuan, you were born with talent and intelligence, and you are a genius that is rare in a hundred years, you know better than anyone else what to do. I just want to ask you why you chose to live like this walking dead instead of dying to atone for your sins.
Because there is one thing that I have never understood, what is the value of human life? Deception, betrayal, mockery, I was born without feeling the slightest hope as a human being, and I am not reconciled, even if I survive, I want to take revenge for the pain I have been suffering.
The woman's eyebrows slowly raised, and the skirt stopped fluctuating.
Look at your current appearance, murderous, full of anger, if you continue like this, one day in the future will harm the common people, you still don't want to change after joining my sect, I will hand you over to those people, and I will not tolerate and protect you. Remember, only with a loving heart can a man set up his life in the world and give up killing in order to receive God's forgiveness and salvation.
The words of the godmother are still in my ears. Having said that, how can a person who is tyrannical by nature be forgiven?
Time passed, his growth accompanied by footprints through every street and alley of Wanyang City, his mind was like a sponge absorbing knowledge, increasing experience, he once believed that the "Teachings" of Tianyao Sect could redeem this sinful world, until the moment when faith collapsed.
On January 30, 756 A.D., leaflets fluttered in every alley, the traditional New Year day of the Dragons, but the whole city was shrouded in the shadow of defeat, and on this day the entire Union army retreated, followed by the occupation of Wanyang by the Auswi-Hungarian Empire, and these leaflets were just a psychological war to warn people to give up resistance. That year, Ling Wenxuan was thirteen years old and had been in the Edoris Monastery for three years.
The defeat of the Federation army had a lot to do with the locust plague that occurred in the Qier Plain three years ago, when countless people starved to death and many people died of cannibalism. Until the imperial army besieged Wanyang, the federal army had low combat effectiveness, and finally because of the shortage of food and grass, they surrendered one after another, and 300,000 federal troops surrendered, which can be called the most brilliant victory of the imperial army since the Fourth Civil War.
In order to win the hearts of the people, the generals of the empire ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, but out of the discriminatory policy against the Wei people, all the grain was only distributed to the Junlong people in Wanyang City, and no one was allowed to hide the grain to help the Wei people, otherwise the death penalty would be punished.
Forced by the intimidation of the Imperial Army, most of the Junlong people reluctantly accepted this decree, so the Imperial Army began to act unscrupulously, and countless Wai people were persecuted, their shops were smashed, their livelihoods were damaged, and they were starved by cold. The shadow of the massacre against the Wai people loomed over the entire Wanyang City, and many of the Wai people even did not hesitate to dye their silver hair, which symbolizes national dignity, black, in order to pretend to be Junlong people.
The monastery of Adores was the only refuge for the Wai people in the city, and the Tianyao Canon clearly stated that the national army was not allowed to interfere in any religious affairs. The Auswi-Hungarian Empire was also a country that believed in the Celestial Religion, and everyone from the general to the ordinary soldiers had to swear to the death, so that the people of the monastery were protected from persecution.
However, how could the clutches of desire easily let go of such a mouth-watering prey, the canons were nothing more than paper things, and the trampler could tear them apart with just one word.
The monastery was full of young and beautiful nuns, who were forced to follow their religious beliefs and naturally could not touch them. The Imperial officers set their sights on the Wai people who had taken refuge in the monastery and demanded that twenty young and beautiful Wai girls be selected to serve as military prostitutes.
Ling Wenxuan could never forget that person who was like his mother, with resolute eyes and a raging fire. She raised her gun and faced the smiling Imperial officer, all aimed at her, but she was fearless like an angel, guarding those she was meant to protect with her broken wings.
In order to rescue Ling Wenxuan, who was taken hostage by the imperial officers, the godmother resolutely asked to negotiate with the imperial military, and before leaving, handed over the spirit to Ling Wenxuan.
Remember, the moment you pull the trigger, it's just to protect the important people around you.
That was the most precious sentence left by his godmother, but he didn't expect it to become her last words......
Of course, the Imperial officers would not spare the godmother who tried to resist, and in order to make an example of the monkey, they had the abbot of the monastery of Idorites publicly executed and hanged in the streets.
When Ling Wenxuan arrived, it was already too late, the only person who had really treated him in this life had closed his eyes forever, and at that moment he could clearly feel the sound of his heart collapsing.
Slaughter...... Never-ending killing...... At this moment, the spirit of the guide drank the blood of the entire imperial military camp.
His eyes slowly opened, and a heart-rending pain came from his chest, if he hadn't felt the sound before, Ling Wenxuan would have thought that he was dead, and it was that memory again, it was the effect of the sleepy heart lock that made his heart begin to collapse, or his original heart was missing.
There is no way in the world, even if you lack your heart, what does it matter? As long as you find the part you really need, ask yourself, what does he really need?
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a figure slowly emerged from the secret passage of the Mowu Palace, although Ling Wenxuan turned his back to this person, unable to see the face of the person who came, but he deeply felt that this person exuded a tyrannical evil aura, the kind of breath that seemed to swallow everything in heaven and earth, made him recall the scene in his memory of avenging his godmother with a guiding spirit.
The black qi met the aura on the sleepy heart lock, and it resonated in an instant, gradually overflowing from the person's body, and entered Ling Wenxuan's body through the sleepy heart lock, only to see the person's mouth open and close, silently reciting the incantation.
Ten thousand evils return to the sect, thousands of people gather, the sword is like fire, burning your heart. Sleepy heart into the holy, hesitant, heart into the devil, live up to the heart.
With the sound of the incantation being recited repeatedly, the evil qi eroded Ling Wenxuan's body like the tentacles of a devil, his eyes were blood-red, and he let out a terrible scream in mid-air, and the invisible sleepy lock shook violently due to his struggle.
You, a murderer full of lies, killed your mother, and your godmother who treated you like a biological mother also died because of you, how ridiculous is it to say that the value of life is realized?
No, I don't want to listen......
What Ling Wenxuan's eyes saw was the self that was formed by the fusion of evil qi and evil qi, although he looked exactly like him, he exuded a terrifying power that was suffocating.
I am you, and no one knows you better than I do. You are gentle and uninhibited on the surface, but at heart you are cruel and perverted, bloodthirsty and murderous.
That's you, not me. Everything I do is to save more people and prevent more tragedies from happening, this is my lifelong faith, and it is my duty as a traveling priest.
What is the difference between killing people and saving people if they don't kill those who are evil by nature? If you don't kill those who are evil by nature, how many innocent and good people will die at their hands, and what is the difference between this and killing people? If you don't kill people, you are letting the evil go, and killing people may save more people as you said.
The black qi incarnated into himself approached Ling Wenxuan, locking his throat and making him almost unable to speak.
No, what you said is not true, there must be a way to save the world without killing each other, as long as I sincerely explore, God will definitely save the world.
It's ridiculous, it's just an excuse that you don't want to accept me, you don't want to accept the dark side of your heart. Did your god save these people when the famine ravaged Wanyang more than ten years ago? Did your god save the Wai people when the Imperial army slaughtered them? What did your god do when they hanged your godmother? No, I saved you, I sent your heartless mother and those beastly soldiers to hell, otherwise you would not have survived until now.
Stop it...... Please, don't talk about it......
Ling Wenxuan knelt on the ground in pain, crying incessantly, the blackened phantom still repeating what he had just said, until he completely collapsed, and the bitter cry turned into a twisted wild laugh.
You are not killing, there will only be more people in the world who will kill people, but you will not be able to save anyone.
When he woke up again, Ling Wenxuan was already sweating profusely, he hadn't changed his strength from the nightmare that happened just now for a long time, everything seemed so real, it didn't look like a dream at all, besides, he remembered that he had been awake once before, could it be the demon caused by the anger that was locked in his sleepy heart?
At this time, the sleepy heart lock mechanism on the Mowu Hall had completely failed, and when Ling Wenxuan sat up, there was silence all around, only a fat man lying on his back on the ground not far away.
Ling Wenxuan vaguely felt that this person was familiar, and when he took a closer look, he was surprised, this person was Lu Juji. I saw a silver long sword held horizontally by him, as if solidified.
"Hey, Fat Lu, wake up, why are you here?" Ling Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and shook it a few times.
Who knew that after Lu Juji woke up with his eyes, he saw that it was Ling Wenxuan, and immediately dodged a few feet away, his eyes widened, he was terrified, and he held a sword with both hands against Ling Wenxuan.
"What's wrong with you? I'm Ling Wenxuan, have you forgotten me?" Lu Juji's actions made Ling Wenxuan puzzled, and motioned to the other party to calm down, "Are Xun'er and Xiao Na still under the secret passage? Tell me, what is their situation? The sanctioners of the Tianzhao Sect also want to seize the Dreadnought Sword, this sleepy lock is the spell that Zi Ning cast on me, we have to hurry down, otherwise they will be in danger." ”
Lu Juji ignored Ling Wenxuan's words, but thought for a few seconds, and then ran towards the outside of the Mowu Hall behind. His actions immediately puzzled Ling Wenxuan.
Judging from Lu Juji's panicked expression, it didn't look like he didn't know Ling Wenxuan, nor did it look like he ran away because he was afraid of something terrible, what was suspicious was the silver sword in his hand. Oh no, Ling Wenxuan hammered his left palm, and suddenly felt bad.
Now is not the time to save Mei Xun'er and Youna, Ling Wenxuan believes that with their abilities, it is not difficult to get out of the secret passage below, and the priority now is to intercept Lu Juji, the fat man who escaped without permission.
So, Ling Wenxuan immediately stepped on the threshold of the Mowu Hall and chased out.
