Chapter 45: Between Good and Evil
"Ahem, this Zhu Daoyou, let's take a look at the children over there first. Also, what happened just now?" Lu Liang coughed dryly, although he was a little interested in Zhu Yan's face-viewing technique, but the safety of the child was the most important.
"Oh, it's a long story!Let's start with me coming to the Five Directions Domain......" As soon as Lu Liang asked, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to continue chatting endlessly.
"Zhu Daoyou, you just start talking about it just now...... "Lu Liang is helpless, hasn't this benevolent brother never spoken in his previous life?" Why are you so verbose......
"Okay! I was originally setting up a hexagram in Shangqiu Town, but after closing the stall just now, I suddenly felt something, so I came in this direction. I saw two men in black flying from opposite me carrying a little girl, and they both exuded bursts of demonic energy. I was afraid that something would happen to the girl, so I stepped forward to stop the two of them. After that, thanks to the Taoist friends who came, the consequences would be unimaginable!" This time, Zhu Yan didn't talk nonsense, and he made it clear in three or two sentences.
At this time, the two had already come to the little girl's side. Zhu Yan waved his hand, the yellow light mask dispersed, and the little girl was squatting on the ground tremblingly, and the look of horror in her eyes made Lu Liang's heart ache.
"Don't be afraid, good girl, the bad guys have been beaten away by us. Where is your home? We'll send you back. Zhu Yan first said what Lu Liang was going to ask.
When the little girl heard this, she cried loudly: "Those two bad guys broke into the house and arrested me, and my father and mother stopped me, so they used swords...... Wow!! "At this time, the little girl was already crying with her head in her arms, and no matter how Lu Liang appeased her, it would be useless.
Zhu Yan on the side looked up to the sky and sighed, took out a small red ball out of nowhere, and threw it directly at the little girl. The ball stopped as it flew overhead, then glowed with a dazzling red light.
At the moment when the red light appeared, the little girl who was trembling and crying suddenly fainted, and Lu Liang was about to go over to help, but Zhu Yan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't worry, look." ”
After a while, the little girl came to her senses. It's just that the look of horror in his eyes has faded, and he has been replaced by an inexplicable face.
"Hey, why am I here?ah, Grandpa Zhu!" the little girl first looked around blankly, and when her eyes moved to Zhu Yan, she suddenly burst into excitement.
"Alas, tell me about you, you still ran out to play so late, your father and mother are in a hurry at home!" Zhu Yan looked at the little girl gently, but said something inexplicable to Lu Liang.
"Oh, that little Yun'er will go home now!" the little girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Lu Liang was a little dizzy. What's going on? How did Zhu Yan become the grandfather of this little girl?
Lu Liang really wanted to ask, but he still held back, he could feel that Zhu Yan had a certain reason for doing this.
The next moment, a small red ball not far away emitted a beam of red light, enveloping the little girl. At the same time, the little girl's eyes became blurred, and she muttered to herself: "Father, mother, Xiao Yun'er is back, and she won't run around anymore......" Before she finished speaking, she was sucked into the red ball.
Lu Liang was shocked, and when he was about to ask for an understanding, Zhu Yan handed the ball to Lu Liang, stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in the ball and said, "Don't panic, fellow Daoist, please look here!"
"Space magic weapon! No, no, it's not just that!" Lu Liang's eyes froze, and he was surprised to find that the small ball was actually divided into countless small spaces, each small space was like a town, some of them had people inside, and some of them had no people inside.
In a town where there are people, no matter how many people there are, there will always be a person with a yellow halo on his body. Among them were children, young people, and old people. Without exception, everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Following the direction pointed by Zhu Yan, Lu Liang saw Xiao Yun'er. At this moment, she was excitedly talking and laughing with a pair of middle-aged men and women, and even Lu Liang was infected by this warm and happy atmosphere.
"Do you see these towns with people? Do you see the people with yellow halos inside? They are all the same as Xiao Yun'er, unable to accept the cruel reality of this world, and were taken in by me when they had a mental breakdown. Inside, they will live a happy life without worries. No worries, no hatred, only endless joy. Zhu Yan said with a smile, but there were endless vicissitudes in his eyes.
"What!" Lu Liang was completely shocked! Not because of this strange magic weapon, but because he knew how terrible the consequences of doing this would be!
You must know that the greatest sins in the world are all related to poisoning ordinary beings! Zhu Yan did this, although he saved a child's heart and gave them a happy life. However, this is definitely against the way of heaven!
forcibly tampering with the memories of mortals, and even depriving them of their original lives! Although, in this life, a child like Xiao Yun'er may not have the courage to live, or die of a mental breakdown, it still can't change Zhu Yan's sin of poisoning mortal beings!
"Brother Zhu, then ...... you" Lu Liang didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only stare at Zhu Yan incredulously.
"Haha, what is good? What is evil? Even if karma is riddled with sins, as long as I have a clear conscience, it's fine! I can't be self-conscious, and I can't be free from heaven and earth!" Zhu Yan laughed loudly. At the same time, a trace of black gas permeated its body, and a few faint wisps of dark red flames danced.
Lu Liang couldn't help but gasp! It's no longer karmic fire, it's already formed a sin qi! Yes, looking at so many people in that little ball, he actually guessed this result a long time ago.
"I don't know what kind of magic weapon this is, but I got it by chance. Inadvertently discovered its use, it can usually create illusions for others, but only for people whose spirits or spirits have collapsed. After that, the 'perfect state' is stimulated, and the person can be sucked into the free world within. Ever since I met the first child with a nervous breakdown, I thought of this method. Zhu Yan scratched his head embarrassedly when he said this, "You say, if I do this, if those powerful people in the world know about it, they may classify me as a heinous evil cultivator!"
When Lu Liang heard this, he shook his head solemnly, and at the same time, bowed to Zhu Yan, and said word by word: "What a 'self-minded' and 'self-indulgent'! Zhu Daoyou is really a person with a true temperament, and he admires him to the fullest!"
Lu Liang's solemn praise made Zhu Yan embarrassed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Daoyou has won the award, and I am also a nosy person." I usually travel everywhere, and sometimes when I see injustices, I always intervene beyond my strength. Anyway, if you can bear it, you will fight, and if you can't bear it, you will run!"
Seeing that Zhu Yan had regained that hippie smiling face, Lu Liang's good impression of him increased greatly, and at the same time, his heart moved: "Ying'er said that the fifth person has something to do with fire." Zhu Yan, 'Yan' is the gathering of three fires. Could this be the one in the dark?"
Lu Liang thought about it, but he didn't say anything easily. After all, I have just come into contact with it, even if I appreciate it, it is safer to observe it again.
"In Xia Lu Liang, a disciple of the Sword Fu Immortal Palace of the Five Directions Domain, he went back to his hometown here to visit his father some time ago, and he is currently rushing back to the mountain gate. Lu Liang remembered that he hadn't introduced himself to the other party yet.
When Zhu Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he bowed his hand and said: "Oh! It turned out to be Lu Daoyou, the second largest force in the Five Directions Domain, fortunately, I will be lucky! By the way, although the two demons exuded demonic energy, the moves they used were the mastery of a certain sect of the human race, and this matter is strange!"
Lu Liang was stunned when he heard this, he also felt strange at the time, the two men in black exuded demonic energy, but if it was really a demon, it was wrong. When he was in the Immortal Palace, he had learned that the demon clan could only transform when it reached the early stage of infant transformation. But the two black-clothed men before were obviously only in the middle of Jindan's cultivation. Moreover, the body is too weak, although Lu Liang is full of joy sword intent, but in terms of the demon clan's innate strong physique, it can't be so fragile, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Liang also frowned and said, "Oh, what Your Excellency said is also what I was puzzled about before I went down. I just don't know, does Brother Zhu have any clues?"
"Haha, that's a coincidence. Everywhere I go, I like to learn about the basic situation of the famous local forces. Those two black-clothed demons, if my expectations are correct, should be the disciples of the same sect in Shangqiu Town in front. The Wutong faction is considered to be the largest force in the Diqiu Country, but it is said that the head of the Fire Dragon Zhenren is just the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period. Zhu Yan seemed to have a better understanding of the situation, not only said his own inference, but also revealed the bottom of the same faction by the way.
There is no same faction, Lu Liang really knows a thing or two, it was mentioned in the previous introduction to the forces of the Five Directions Domain that Lu Liren gave him, which is basically the same as what Zhu Yan said.
"Don't hide it from Lu Daoyou, Xiao Yun'er is the third child who was put away near Shangqiu Town! The two children before were also captured by this black-clothed demon, but at that time, my cultivation was higher than theirs, so they gave up the child and ran away, and this was the first time I fought with them. Zhu Yan was also thoughtful, then looked up at Lu Liang, and asked hopefully, "I want to go to the Wutong faction to inquire about this matter, I wonder if Brother Lu is willing to step on this troubled water together?"
"Of course I do! Even if Brother Zhu doesn't mention it, I'll take the initiative to ask!" As soon as he thought of Xiao Yun'er's miserable situation, Lu Liang's heart ignited a nameless fire, and he agreed without hesitation!
"In that case, then we have to go back to the temporary place to pack our bags, and we will see you at the foot of the mountain where the Shangqiu Formation has no sect in half an hour!" Zhu Yan arched his hand, confessed to Lu Liang, and flew away.
Lu Liang also gave up his hand, and directly got up and went to Wutong first, anyway, he had nothing else to do, so he simply went to understand the situation first.
After a stick of incense, Lu Liang arrived at the gate of the Wutong faction. This faction is built on a high mountain, and there are layers of protective sects outside to protect it. At the foot of the mountain, the townspeople of Shangqiu Town live.
Lu Liang first asked someone about the situation of the Wutong faction, asked some mortals, and also asked some immortal cultivators, and the answer he got was greatly beyond Lu Liang's expectations.
I thought that this kind of demon place, if not heinous, must be hated. As a result, more than a dozen people were asked, and all of them said that it was good to be the same!
In their mouths, the head of the Wutong faction, Huolong Zhenren, and his junior brother, Shuilong Zhenren, are very friendly to both mortals and immortal cultivators, and sometimes take the initiative to help people in difficulty.
Lu Liang was puzzled, he originally thought it was quite simple, but now it seems that it is not like that! It seems that it is not possible to directly ask the teacher for the crime, so it is better to wait for Zhu Yan to come over and figure out how to climb the mountain and visit.
........................
At this time, it was still the dense forest just now, and when Lu Liang was thinking about the affairs of the Wutong faction, Zhu Yan's figure resurfaced in the depths of the dense forest.
At this time, behind him stood a beautiful white-clothed girl with a cold face, with a boiling killing intent that could not be concealed, and a huge aura of returning to the middle stage of the void was faintly erupted. If Lu Liang was here, he would be surprised to find that there was a faint trace of demonic energy in the vitality emanating from this girl's body!
"Yun'er, I'm really sorry, let you cooperate with me in this scene, do you remember the past again?" Zhu Yan turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a guilty expression.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then "plopped" and knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "If it weren't for the adults who included me in the Water Moon Mirror Flower back then, there would have been no such person as Xiao Yun'er in the world! What about acting, even if it is to die for adults, the slave and maid will never complain! Please don't be so arrogant! Otherwise, the slave and maid can only apologize for their sins with death!"
"I said it a long time ago, you are you, I am me, what slave is not slave, where did you get such rules, it won't be learned from the sour and rotten little dragon over the years! Really, if it weren't for the fact that he has exercises that are suitable for you, I would be reluctant to let you go!" Zhu Yan looked helpless, stepped forward to help the girl, and his eyes were full of love.
"My lord, is this Lu Liang the person you are looking for?" After the girl got up, she also regained her cold color, and her body was full of momentum.
At this time, Zhu Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and there was a faint trace of green in his eyeballs, and he raised his head and laughed: "Yes! Since I lost my things from the old stupid turtle, I have been looking for it for thousands of years! I didn't expect that he was still an Covenanter, it should be a shadow beast, because I saw that his body was blurred." ”
"My lord, why don't I kill him directly and take the Demon Emperor Horn over! If your identity is discovered, it will cause a lot of trouble!"
"Don't, don't! This little guy is quite in my mind! With the prohibition of the Ancient Covenant, I'm not afraid of being recognized by that Chaos Beast. And I now have a good chance of joining his team to go to the Origins. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of comfortable feeling, I want to just enjoy it as 'Zhu Yan'!" Zhu Yan seemed very happy, and then added: "You go back and tell those three old guys, just say that I have succeeded." They will never be allowed to meddle in this matter again, or don't blame me for not thinking about my kindred!"
