Chapter 10: The Art of Giving Up
The golden lightsaber slashed across Xia Jinyan's body, and nothing happened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the wooden pen seemed to be relieved, let go of Xia Jinyan's hand, nodded to Ruyun, waved his right hand in front of him, and laid a light curtain to cover her and Lin Yuedong, and then dragged Lin Yuedong into the air and flew to the rooftop of the Kempinski Hotel, far away from Xia Jinyan's sight.
"I guess you've got to tell me something." Lin Yuedong said. Although I don't know what the wooden pen is doing, since it was deliberately done in front of him, there must be a reason, "By the way, Xia Jinyan and Ruyun should have seen your actions, you asked me not to expose it before, but I was exposed." ”
"Xia Jinyan won't remember, Ruyun is actually a god, and writing novels is his hobby, so it's no problem." Mu Bi turned his head, "Didn't you ask about the relationship between me and Xia Jinyan before?" Now is the time to tell you. - Do you know about the seizure? ”
Snatch away!
Lin Yuedong's heart was shocked. He had just come up with the idea that the Ice Godhead might be used to take the house, and the wooden pen actually took the initiative to talk about the takeaway!
Is this a coincidence? Or has she seen through her own thoughts? Or is it just a temptation?
I have to guard against it......
He pretended to be puzzled and said, "The one in the Xianxia novel? I've heard that so-and-so old monster has a soul left, and then robs other people's bodies, borrowing rebirth or something. ”
Mu Bi said lightly: "That's true." The immortal realm is like me, and it is indeed possible to be reborn through some means. After the seizure, except that the body becomes new, the memory is exactly the same as before, which is equivalent to being able to live with the memory again. Naturally, in this way, the cultivation or something will be much faster, and if there is someone to help, it will not take long to return to the peak again. ”
Lin Yuedong played the role of a person who had just heard about it: "Huh...... So? ”
"So this has become a very tempting technique, for both the gods and the demons." Mu Bi said and shook his head, "Do you remember the Great War of Gods and Demons?" ”
"Yes."
"We suffered heavy losses in that battle, and there were so many fallen immortals that we had to rely on the world's No. 1 courier company to select talents from among mortals. Selecting new people to replace the lost manpower is certainly a method, but the effect is relatively slow and the income is unstable, so some people have thought of another way - what if those dead immortals could survive in time in the first place? Isn't the replenishment of combat power much faster? ”
"And then they thought of taking it?"
"Yes. In fact, we have always known a simple and easy to use snatching technique: prepare a body for snatching in advance, and plant a hidden spell on it by the gods, and then leave it alone. Once the immortal who planted the spell is in crisis and his body is destroyed, the soul will follow the pre-prepared spell to the new body and be reborn. This can greatly improve the survival rate of the immortals and avoid the vast majority of deaths. ”
This sounds like a good solution, just like the escape pod on an airplane, if something goes wrong with the plane, you can also let the pilot escape, and in the future, you can change the plane and continue the fight.
The only problem is......
"How did that body come from?" Lin Yuedong asked.
"Haha, you're on the point." Mu Bi smiled bitterly, "This is the least immortal thing that our immortals have done in more than 10 billion years - using a carefully modulated ordinary mortal body. Specifically, it is to cast a spell to impregnate a selected mortal, and then use a spell to quietly care for the fetus until a qualified and useful body is born, and then plant a spell on it. Usually this person just grows up normally, but when the immortal dies, he will be taken away. ”
"Is it to be born to die? What a sad life. Lin Yuedong shook his head. Because it is a god, even such a thing is very simple to think about. It's just that the life of a mortal is so simply decided from before birth, and there is no possibility of resistance, which is indeed a sad thing.
"Yes, it's sad indeed." Mu Bi agreed, "At first, no one paid attention to this spell, although it was simple, but we worked hard to protect mortals, not harm them. But we lost too many people in that war, and many immortals couldn't stand such heavy losses, so we decided to start implementing the plan of finding a spare body for each immortal. ”
What Mu Bi said was an understatement, but Lin Yuedong knew how much they had lost. Even one of the top three bosses is hanging, and the casualties must be unbearable.
It is not incomprehensible to begin the implementation of this plan in this situation. Ask yourself, if Lin Yuedong had such a spell when the Dingtian Society was destroyed, he would definitely find a spare body for all the people in the Dingtian Society without saying a word. As for those who are used as spare bodies, are they willing? them!
"At that time, our idea was that if an immortal survived, he could create benefits that were thousands of trillions of times greater than that mortal with a spare body. The immortals have knowledge and experience, and can quickly grow up to become combat power, but that mortal does not have these convenient conditions, so it is better to let the immortals take it away. In order to destroy the demons and save the world, there is no way to sacrifice a small number of people.
"Speaking of which, you must have understood. Xia Jinyan is the spare body prepared for me. Once I die, I can be reborn in her. Her looks, height, and weight are so similar to mine, so that I can adapt quickly. ”
"I see, that's ......," Lin Yuedong completely understood. Behind Xia Jinyan, there is such a story, her birth was originally to prepare a wooden pen in case there is a need to give up one day.
Although she is the third lady of the Xia family, she has supreme glory in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the immortals, she is just an ordinary mortal who is ready to take away. The difference between immortals and mortals can be seen from this.
Immediately afterwards, he remembered the incantation that the wooden pen had just sung: Cause and effect are entangled, and the wisdom sword is cut off, and the fate is all here, and the waves are not born.
That doesn't sound like it's meant to be sacrificed.
"Uh, what did you just do?"
"Don't you understand? I've broken this reluctance spell, and she'll never be at risk of being taken away by me at any time. Mu Bi said calmly, "Maybe Xia Jinyan will not be able to make a contribution of my level to the world in ten lifetimes, but she is a living being after all, and she has the right to live." Isn't it strange that we often say, 'This is God, protect the world,' and now we have to make the world sacrifice for God? ”
"About this...... Lin Yuedong hesitated, "I don't think it's necessarily correct." This is war, and how can war be about morality in peacetime? When it comes to what happens, it will be much more useful for you to survive than for Xia Jinyan to survive. ”
Who is more useful, a wooden pen or a Xia Jinyan? Paramecium also knows that it's the former! In order to let Xia Jinyan enjoy his right to live, let the wooden pen lose a chance to resurrect, which is a loss-making business no matter how you think about it.
The war between gods and demons is not a child's game, it is a grand war that really determines the life and death of the three thousand worlds, and in such a significant war, everything must be on par with victory, and the means that can win must be used no matter how despicable. The right of mortals to live? That kind of thing will be considered after the war is won and the world is successfully saved, which is more efficient!
"You're wrong." Mu Bi shook his head, "Your current way of thinking is probably difficult to understand. The reason why we are gods is not because of our cultivation, but because of our goodness. God's mercy on the world is not an empty word, but a real fact. We love and protect the world, so we are God. If this kind of behavior is committed, then what is the difference between us and the demons? ”
"This ......" This question stopped Lin Yuedong. Immortals are good, demons are evil, and this is the most fundamental difference between the two. If you put aside good and evil, what is the difference between the two sides?
"We will win, but we can't win in a demonic way, in that case, we ourselves will be no different from demons, and when the time comes, should we be considered immortals or demons?" Mu Bi asked rhetorically.
"If you don't do that, it's hard to win......
"It is better to be defeated as an immortal than to win as a demon, this is the difference between us and the demons. We don't do all kinds of evil in order to live, and our hearts always insist on something more noble. The wooden pen stood with his hands in his hands and said proudly.
"But...... After all, didn't you still carry out the plan? In this case, even if you criticize the demon's actions, you still do it. Lin Yuedong pointed out. If the pen had not planted a spell in the first place, there would be no spell to break at this moment. Moreover, Xia Jinyan is almost 20 years old now, which shows that this plan has been implemented for more than 20 years.
"We made a big mistake." Mu Bi sighed, "Actually, you can see why in one sentence - the advocate of this plan defected three years ago, and now he has replaced the former first demon general and has become the new first demon general of the demon race. ”
Lin Yuedong immediately reacted: "You mean, he is an undercover agent of the demon clan?" Received the benefits of the demons? ”
"The demon clan spent a lot of time luring him, and finally let him succeed in falling, and even almost led all the immortals astray." I can't say it's not our fault, we did, but the reason can't be ignored. The most terrifying thing about demons is not their strength, but their ability to lure people into depravity, and you should pay close attention to this. ”
"I'll take care of it. Then now you can cut off the connection between you and Xia Jinyan because he ......"
"Because he defected, we realized the problem and generally began to sever the connection between ourselves and the body. I didn't have time to deal with it before, but today I finally got some time to deal with it. ”
"I see, I didn't expect the situation inside to be quite complicated. But it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with me. Lin Yuedong shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be indifferent, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.
The wooden pen came up to point out the seizure, and at the end emphasized the temptation of the demons, what is the intention of these words? Is it simply to talk about things, or do you see that you were affected by Su Yuwei's words and start to doubt them, so you deliberately say it to dispel your suspicions, or is it a warning?
Lin Yuedong felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't show it.
"It really doesn't have much to do with it, it's just to talk to you about the demon's ability to tempt and degenerate." The wooden pen also seems to be casual.
"So I already know this ability, can I go? I feel relaxed enough, and there's something to do. Lin Yuedong asked.
"Go ahead, don't push yourself too hard." Mu Bi said with a smile.
Lin Yuedong said goodbye to her and flew into the distance on the ice shuttle.
After Lin Yuedong left, Ruyun came to the rooftop and stood beside the wooden pen.
"How is he?" Ruyun asked thoughtlessly.
"I'm afraid it's not good." "When I was in the maid's café, I noticed that he was not emotionally stable and was overly nervous when he came into contact with me; When he took the invitation, his answer was not satisfactory; He didn't feel right when he robbed the marriage...... The time of the Temple Escape to the World was inexplicably stopped for fifteen minutes, and I always cared about what happened in those fifteen minutes. ”
He was alone with Leto for fifteen minutes, and what happened was clear at a glance. The former No. 1 Demon General's ability to tempt people should not be underestimated, and he just caught up with this situation at this time......" Ruyun frowned, "If you don't handle it well, the plan may have a big problem." ”
"I'll figure it out. With the Ice God Personality here, there shouldn't be anything wrong for the time being. Mu Bi said.
"Well, I'm still relieved to leave it to you. But if it really can't be done, we must not show mercy. You know the power of the ice god better than me, and no matter what, you must ensure that the ice god returns to its place. Ruyun admonished.
"Understood!"
