Phantom Ji sneered, "Just because you want to kill us too?" Please, be clear-headed, okay? Everyone is of the same rank, why did you kill the three of us alone? ”

Yi Nian showed a struggling look on his face: "So what, I'll kill it!" Kill...... Yes...... Get out of here! It can't go on like this! Yes! Cowardly guy hands over his body to me...... No way! No! ”

Ichinian covered his head in pain and began to talk to himself, as if two souls were fighting for control of his body.

Seeing this, Phantom Ji did not hesitate, she carried the long sword and walked towards him cautiously, "Maybe you are in pain, but I can relieve you......"

"Get out of here!"

Powerful spiritual power suddenly burst out from Yi Nian's body, and the golden light was full of light, and everyone couldn't open their eyes for a while, and when the golden light dissipated, he had disappeared.

Qian Mei'er frowned and said, "Did you let him run away?" ”

Phantom Ji nodded, "I didn't expect him to run to the Mortal Dust Continent, and I don't know what the intentions are, this matter must be reported to the sect first." ”

Qin Fei on the side knew that he had escaped, he struggled to get up, but because of excessive blood loss, his whole body was weak, Ling Ning wanted to help him but was refused.

"Go away! I don't want to accept your handouts! ”

Ling Ning was puzzled and said, "You are already injured and can't walk far, why don't you let us help you?" ”

Qin Fei glared at him and said, "Are you monks?" ”

Ling Ning nodded: "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Qin Fei shook his head and didn't speak, he got up several times but failed, and finally fell to the ground and fainted.

Qian Mei'er said: "Since he doesn't want us to save him, just leave him here." ”

Ling Ning shook his head: "Seeing each other is fate, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, let's help him bandage his wounds first." ”

Qian Mei'er smiled: "How can you learn the tone of the monk's speech?" Beware of going crazy like him. ”

……

Ling Ning carried Qin Fei back to his original camp and bandaged his wounds, and fed him the healing pills, and after a while, his breath gradually calmed down, and his life was no longer in trouble.

Qian Mei'er couldn't help but ask, "What was the origin of that monk's thought just now?" How...... Why is it so disgusting, I can't believe he's a monk......"

Phantom Ji fiddled with the flames and muttered slightly: "Monk Yinian is quite famous in the Xianchen Continent, and is known as the first person in Buddhism in the 'Garan Temple' for thousands of years. The status of the 'Garan Temple' in the Immortal Dust Continent was not inferior to that of the Five Great Sects, and it had been established even before the Five Great Sects existed. To be known as the 'first person in a thousand years' in such a very historical ancient temple, his cultivation in Buddhism can be imagined. I heard that he grew up in the temple and began to practice retreat at the age of five, and after nine years and nine days of retreat, the abbot of the temple personally welcomed him out and held a grand puja to celebrate him. In the following years, his Buddhist cultivation shined in the Xianchen Continent, and he was present at many Buddhist conferences, and was even regarded as the next host of training...... It's a pity that three years ago ......"

Ling Ning said, "How was it three years ago? ”

Phantom Ji sighed and said: "Three years ago, a Buddhist conference was held in the Xianchen Continent, and the best of the young generation of the major monasteries were invited to debate the Dharma together, and almost all the monasteries on the continent sent people to participate, and the conference lasted for a total of nine days, but on the third day, there was an accident, and some monks disappeared one after another...... The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished, and more than 300 monks were burned to death, which was undoubtedly the biggest loss in the Buddha world for thousands of years! I heard that the charred corpses at the scene had extremely twisted limbs, and many of them were broken as if they had been bitten by something...... In short, almost all the people who participated in the meeting that day were burned to death, and less than ten people survived, and those who survived seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of strong stimulus and turned into madness, and they all mentioned one person in their mouths......"

Qian Mei'er said, "A thought? ”

Phantom nodded: "Yes, it's just a thought." The most bizarre thing is that in less than a month, these survivors also died inexplicably one by one. And Yi Nian also evaporated in the Immortal Dust Continent from that day, and someone had seen him in the past three years, but every time it was accompanied by a tragedy and a broken corpse...... I don't know when he was named the 'Demon Monk', the 'Garan Temple' was forced by the pressure of other monasteries to constantly send people around to look for his traces, but unfortunately the Immortal Dust Continent is too big, no matter how you look for it, you can't find anything, I didn't expect him to run to the Mortal Dust Continent......"

Ling Ning said: "Are you sure it was done by a thought?" Is there a check against the participants on the day? ”

Phantom Ji shook her head, "The list of participants that day has been reduced to ashes with the fire, and whether or not I participated that day and who participated that day has become an open question. But what the survivors said was already a thought, and he never explained. ”

Ling Ning sighed and said, "Maybe it really has something to do with him, what I care about the most is the demon god he conjured, what is it......

Phantom Ji said: "Then I don't know, these problems should be a headache for the Garan Temple." ”

……

In the middle of the moon, a floating cloud obscured the bright moonlight, and a figure huddled in a corner in the damp and cold cave shivering.

"Amitabha...... Amitabha...... No...... No! Don't come here! Yes! ”

His handsome face became extremely distorted because of fear, he was none other than a monk of Yinian!

"One thought, don't be afraid, you didn't do anything wrong, and no one will ask for your life......"

A voice sounded in his head.

Hearing this voice, Yi Nian trembled as if grasping a life-saving straw and said, "Mother! I...... I can't! I really can't! I've killed so many people, and they're all asking for my life! Mother! You save me......"

"One thought, you didn't kill anyone! You're just overdoing them! It is a great merit for you to separate their souls from their bodies and go to Elysium...... They are all innocent of death, and their iniquities are gone away with their demise, what is wrong with you? ”

"Really...... Are you sure? I...... Did I help them? Am I not a bad person? ”

Of course not, this sinful world is full of arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, rage, lust...... The world needs to be purified! You're just freeing them in advance, and you're not wrong! ”

The trembling of the thought stopped, "Yes...... I'm not wrong...... I'm not wrong! I was right...... That's right......"

"One thought, in order to save the world, you still need your efforts...... It's your mission! The location of that Buddha relic...... You can feel its calling...... You are a child of destiny! Sooner or later, you will complete your mission and cleanse all sins! ”

"Yes...... That's my calling...... I'll find out...... I'm sure I'll find that relic...... I will! ”

As he sat cross-legged and slowly entered a state of meditation, a shadow appeared behind him, a god and demon full of violence and hatred......

In the faint morning light, Qin Fei woke up from his deep sleep, and when he saw that Ling Ning and the others were closing their eyes to recuperate, he quietly got up and left, but was stopped by Ling Ning just after walking a short distance.

"Brother, is this leaving?"

Qin Fei stopped and said: "Thank you for saving your life, you can't repay it in the next life, you can only repay it in the next life." ”

"I heard that general call you Qin Fei, you are the leader of the rebels?"

Qin Fei stared at Ling Ning: "Yes, is Your Excellency an eagle dog hired by Zhao Guo?" If so, you can exchange the heads of those below for rewards! ”

Seeing that he was so heroic, Ling Ning smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency misunderstood me and just asked casually. Does Brother Qin not have a good impression of the monk? ”

Qin Fei nodded, "Although you saved my life, I still don't want to have anything to do with the monk......

Why is that? As far as I know, Zhao Guo has already hired a large number of monks, and if you rely only on mortal bodies, it may be difficult for you to win, so why not hire some monks like them? ”

"We don't have the money to hire monks, and besides, those monks do all kinds of evil, burning, looting, and doing all kinds of evil! We are ashamed to be in their company. Hey, Zhao Guo is relying on these people to survive until now, and I, Qin Fei, will overthrow them one day! ”

"Would you have been able to win easily without those monks and mercenaries?"

"It's natural! It is these monks who have destroyed the balance of the continent! If it weren't for these monks, I would have ...... long ago."

"Have you replaced Zhao Guo a long time ago? So what? If you become the new emperor, will you promise that you will not oppress the people? Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely! ”

Qin Fei was slightly stunned, obviously he hadn't thought about this.

"Isn't the so-called change of dynasty a change of people to continue to exploit the people? You say that those monks did all kinds of evil, but were the monks who really drove the people to the brink? If you can't establish a regime that supervises each other and is decided by the people themselves, then the people will still live in dire straits, and if you overthrow a Zhao state, there will be a new Zhao state, what's the use? ”

Qin Fei was silent for a long time and then said, "Then what should I do?" Watching the people being oppressed and doing nothing? Or surrender to the state of Zhao? ”

Ling Ning shook his head, "The real path needs to be explored by yourself, and it must be an extremely difficult path...... May you lead your people down a different path. ”

……

Ever since Ling Ning left the Sword Ling Sect and started wandering, he had traveled to many places and had seen many people who had been oppressed. Perhaps the power of the monks is too strong for the Mortal Dust Continent, and the absolute power above the empire makes all mortals look up to it. In some countries, there is even a situation of "one country supporting one case". As a royal family in power, he can naturally enjoy himself by relying on the rule of the sect behind him, but as a low-level common people, he can only be exploited.

Zhao may be a more extreme example, but even the people of the other five empires are not much better.

Perhaps one day the monks should disappear in the mortal continent and let the mortals truly call the shots. But will that really give the people a good life? Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and if the imperial system is not changed, it is always the people who suffer......

Ling Ning looked at the rising red sun and fell into deep thought, as a monk, he should have stayed away from the red dust, but since he was in the red dust, how could he stay out of it?

Ling Ning and the three of them set off again, this time they went deep into the territory of Zhao State, and everywhere they went, there were broken walls and ruins, and dry bones were exposed from time to time in the tender green grass, adding a few touches of slaughter to this vibrant spring.

Along the way, I encountered several teams from time to time, most of them were under the banner of the royal division, and there were also a few teams with the banner of the righteous army. Whether it was the righteous army or the royal division, these soldiers were all skinny and showed deep exhaustion on their faces.

The age of these people is seriously polarized, the young are eleven or twelve years old, the old are fifty or sixty years old, and the proportion of people in the prime of life is not very large. The armor on their bodies has worn out, and most of the rebels don't even have armor and weapons, and many of them even carry hoes directly! I can't believe how such a soldier can fight.

The soldiers of Zhao State saw that the three of them were riding tall horses and dressed brightly, and they did not come up to ask questions as if they were used to seeing them, but only occasionally cast envious glances. The rebels, on the other hand, chose to avoid and hide, as if they had encountered robbers. From their submissive eyes, full of vigilance, hatred, fear, anger, and many other emotions, it can be imagined that those monks deliberately did a lot of bad things as Qin Fei said......

At this time, a team came on, they waved the banner of Wang Shi, and the six people at the front of the team were wearing Taoist robes and riding tall horses, all of them were high-spirited, and they were followed by this group of soldiers with fierce faces, these soldiers escorted more than 20 young women, and were firmly chained with more than ten pounds of shackles and foot cuffs, and every step they took seemed to be extremely difficult, and the iron hoops had left deep blood marks on their wrists and ankles.

These women were all disheveled, with tears on their faces, and they were covered with mud, apparently they had been forcibly captured and suffered some insults, and some of the women were full of tears and pleaded, in exchange for a soldier's whip, even if they left deep blood marks on their skin, but they still begged bitterly, as if the end was waiting for them with an ending that was worse than death; Other women walked forward like walking corpses with desperate faces, the countless tear stains on their faces that had dried and turned into obvious light-colored marks......

When the leader saw Ling Ning and the three of them coming towards him, he thought that they were also hired monks, so he directly bowed his hand and said, "Three fellow Daoists, are you going to the village in front of you to harvest?" Hehe, you're a step too late, we've already been there, so you'd better go somewhere else! ”

Qian and Phantom both changed into men's clothes, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and when she heard this, Qian Mei'er frowned and said, "What crime did those women behind you commit?" Why are they chained? ”

The man in the lead smiled and said, "We all captured them from the village in front, and they naturally committed the crime of harboring the rebels!" Why did you just come here? There are a few good goods that can be sold for a good price, and the mediocre ones can be exchanged for some money......"

Qian Mei'er scolded angrily: "Looking at your appearance, how can a monk do such an unbearable thing? Let them go! ”

The leader's face changed: "This fellow Daoist, if you want the loot, you can grab it yourself, why do you still have our idea?" Hey, my brothers haven't been vegetarians for years......"

The six monks all began to look at the three of them with bad intentions, as if they really wanted to rob them.

Qian Mei'er was not good-tempered, and when she heard this, she said angrily: "Okay, I want to see how capable you are!" ”

At that moment, she released the coercion on her body, and two of these monks were middle-aged people who had reached the early stage of Zhudan, although the coercion of Qianmei'er's fourth-order demon beast also had the strength of the peak of Zhudan, but the other party was so powerful that they still refused to bow their heads.

"Hey, what about the peak of Zhudan, we are too many of us to be afraid that you will not be ......"

He thought that Qian Mei'er was the highest cultivator among the three, but he ignored Phantom Ji and Ling Ning, hearing him say this, Phantom and Ling Ren smiled slightly and released the coercion of the early stage of Yudan!

The six of them turned pale in an instant, their whole bodies trembled, and they all turned over, dismounted, and knelt on the ground.

"Each ...... Ladies and gentlemen...... I...... I'm not waiting for my brother...... I don't know...... Put...... Leave us ...... alone."

Qian Mei'er said: "Don't let people go yet!" ”

"Hurry, hurry! Put...... Let them go! ”

The soldiers behind a few people saw that the three "immortals" with "vast powers" all knelt down, and they all stared at each other with big eyes and uncertainties, so because Ling Ning and the three of them were only released against the six monks, the other soldiers naturally couldn't feel it.

When the monk at the head shouted again, the soldiers hurriedly removed the chains and leg cuffs from the women.

The three of them put away their coercion, and Phantom Ji snorted coldly: "Get out of here!" The next time I see you oppressing innocent people, I'll kill you with my own hands!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Brothers, go away! ”

The six of them quickly mounted their horses and fled without looking back, with their soldiers.

All the women were suddenly rescued and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief, and only after a short time did they react with joy and knelt down to thank them, and before Ling Ning could ask them, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then one of them shouted: "A thief who has done a lot of evil!" Come on! ”
