The old monk sighed: In the autumn of that year, I debated in Washan, and the church came to see me, and in the autumn of another year, I left the Central Plains and asked in the wasteland. During that time, I was invited by the temple to quietly practice in the Demon Sect, which was the reverse infiltration of the Central Plains Righteous Path mentioned earlier. ”

Hearing this, Ning Que was in a slightly abrupt mood, and secretly wondered if this old monk really almost became the sect master of the Demon Sect back then? Xiling Temple invited him, the thirty characters of Lotus Sheng, to infiltrate the Demon Sect, it was really a good calculation, this person could make the Demon Sect trust and even climb to a high position, thinking that he was a first-rate person in the world regardless of the realm, means, and will.

The old monk didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and looked at the dusty stone wall of the room with a gentle expression, as if looking at the clean and dust-free main hall of the Demon Sect decades ago, and continued slowly: "In the impression of the world, the Demon Sect is all evil and damned scum, and the truth is not far off.

Those people in the Demon Sect killed innocents indiscriminately, robbed children and forcibly forced them to practice demonic skills, and I don't know how many people die every year, but is the Demon Sect just an iron plate?"

"When the Demon Sect was in its prime, there were seven sects and twenty-eight schools, each of which had different cultivation concepts and even the concept of entering the WTO, some schools were like Buddhist ascetic monks, and they did not lead the world to deal with each other at all, how could such a school do evil?"

The old monk retracted his gaze, looked at the three of them and said calmly: "The Demon Sect is like any sect, there are good people and bad people, I admit that most of the people in the Demon Sect are bad people, but there are always good people, but when the sword splits the block and kills into the mountain gate, how do you know whether the person who died under the sword is good or bad?"

"When Ke Haoran entered the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, I was in this mountain. ”

The old monk slowly lowered his head, and there was a dry sound in his cervical spine, as if he might fall down at any time, and said: "I have lived in the Demon Sect for several years, and naturally I have a lot of old knowledge...... All these people I know are dead. ”

"I lurked in the Demon Sect for the purpose of destroying the Demon Sect...... I should have been happy that those people died in front of me one by one, but I don't know why, I just couldn't be happy. Watch as those familiar cheeks are cut in half, and the children who used to bounce on my lap are cut in half...... Watching the blood spread out of the temple, staining the lower half of the wordless monument red, and then flowing down the stone steps, and finally dripping slowly down the stone sorghum that you should have seen into the pitch-black abyss, I suddenly found myself sad. ”

Ning Que frowned slightly and said, "That's enough." ”

The old monk looked at him compassionately, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not your little uncle who created the karma of killing quietly, I recall those pictures, and I don't blame him, I just want to understand, what is a demon?"

"Is the Demon Sect that kills innocents indiscriminately a demon, or is Ke Haoran, who kills people like a madman, a demon? I am worried that Ke Haoran will fall into the devil...... Will it make him fall into demons instead of making him commit murder? Or is it true that I, the conspirator who secretly orchestrates behind the scenes, is the real demon? Looking at the blood all over the ground, I began to ask myself some questions. ”

The old monk's voice gradually became confused...... This kind of doubt is the doubt of standing on top of Peach Mountain and looking at the sky, the doubt of standing in the ruins and feeling the vicissitudes of history, and the doubt of oneself and the world.

"How to distinguish between the righteous path and the demon path, and what exactly is Jing ......?"

"If we rely on philosophy and morality, the Demon Sect is a demon if it kills innocents indiscriminately, then who doesn't kill people on the long path of cultivation? The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and if we kill people, we will become demons, so what about the butcher killing pigs? What about you and I picking up stones on the road and killing wild dogs when we were children? We gnaw on pigs' trotters and gnawed on our hands full of oil, and we tugged at those tenacious tendons with relish, but have we ever thought that this is the flesh of a pig? Are we already enchanted when we do these things?"

"If you rely on your background, the Demon Sect originated in the hands of the Great Divine Officer of Light thousands of years ago, and the history records that the Great Divine Officer of Bright has a noble moral temperament and a compassionate wonderful realm, where is the innate evil?

The old monk quietly looked at the three young people in front of him, and said softly: "The gate of the Demon Sect Mountain is broken, and the river of blood can flow with a pestle, and I have been trapped here to atone for decades since that day, and I have been thinking about this question for decades. ”

Ning Que and Mo Shanshan silently pondered the words of this Tao Dynasty monk, each with their own thoughts.

Ye Hongyu raised his head without hesitation, and said without hesitation: "The Lotus Divine Throne is wrong, the reason why the Demon Sect is a demon has nothing to do with the concept and morality, nor does it have anything to do with the origin of the lineage, but the exercise itself is one of the evils. ”

"Haotian descends to the world, giving warmth and light, so that all things in the world can grow, and there is a breath of circulation between heaven and earth. However, if the exercises practiced by the demons of the Demon Sect forcibly rob the natural teeth and qi, and vainly accept the heavens and the earth in the body, if they steal the brilliance sown by the mercy of the heavens, if these demons are allowed to become strong, the breath of heaven and earth gradually dries up, and the world is ruined, how can it be said? ”

The girl's voice was particularly firm and sober at this time, and it was a matter of Dao and Demon, even in the face of the Lotus Divine Throne that she respected and admired, she was so calm and tough, and said in a deep voice: "The difference between Dao and Demon is not in the concept and not in the pulse, but only in the difference between survival and destruction, if black and white, light and darkness, how can it be compatible? ”

Ye Hongyu's crisp voice helped Mo Shanshan dispel the doubts in her heart, she nodded lightly, thinking that this is very true, the so-called Dao Demon, the division lies in whether there is good or evil thoughts about this world.

Ning Que had never understood why the cultivators of the Xiling Temple, the Buddha Sect or the Tang Empire regarded it as an enemy when they mentioned the Demon Sect, which was decidedly palpitating, and today's words finally made him understand the truth.

If the Demon Sect is allowed to develop in the world until everyone cultivates demons, then only the whole world will be afraid that the heaven and earth will be sucked clean, and then the world will only be destroyed. Just like a flock of sheep grazing on the grassland, if all the grass and grass roots on the grassland are eaten clean, then the grassland will become a desert, and those sheep will naturally die.

He finally discovered that the Demon Sect was hostile to the world, and it turned out to be an environmental problem.

Dao idiot, bookworm, nymphomaniac, the world's three idiots, changed to another environment that Ning Que is very familiar with, probably those beautiful girls who are too smart and humanistic and rational to be shameless to Wen Shuwen until three o'clock every night, this kind of girl often has a certain kind of obsession and madness, and likes to talk about what I love my teacher, I love the truth and so on.

Dao idiot Ye Hongyu, like all the cultivators in the world, such as Ning Que, has had doubts about the world and the difference between Dao and Demon on the long path of cultivation, and has thought and even reflected, but unlike other cultivators, she is not limited by the inherent views of the world, so that she gradually stops thinking about these problems, so that her aversion to demons becomes a part of her energy, but constantly increases her understanding of the world, learns and analyzes from it, and finally draws her own opinions.

This result of this thought is a thousand times stronger than that of some mediocre practitioners, so even though she is in awe of the Lotus Throne, she still insists on her opinion and refuses to bow her head, because she thinks that this is the truth.

Her views are not hypocritical, nor pretentious, she does not talk to people about chance, cause and effect, killing, only interests, and whether the two sects of Taoism and demons will bring benefits or harm to this world, because they are simple, they are sure, so it is extremely difficult to refute.

However, Master Liansheng is Master Liansheng after all, and he only used a very simple paragraph to make Ye Hongyu's seemingly unbreakable opinion suddenly relax and shake, because the master's insight is wider, and the time for hard work and blood learning and thinking and self-reflection is longer, and the tail in Ye Hongyu's opinion is not tightly tied enough.

"As I said earlier, I have lived in the Demon Sect for a period of time, but I have not been able to find the Heavenly Book of Words, but I have come into contact with a lot of the exercises of the Demon Sect, I think there should be no one in this world who understands the Demon Sect more deeply than me. ”

The old monk looked at Ye Hongyu with a gentle expression and said, "I should have the same thoughts as you, but when I have seen the cultivation of the people in the Demon Sect, their birth and death, and the relationship between them and heaven and earth, this kind of thinking has gradually changed, because I have forgotten a very important issue like you now. ”

"The human body in the Demon Sect is strong and long-lived, but they will still die eventually. When they die, the heaven and earth teeth and qi that they have spent decades or even hundreds of years cultivating and absorbing will die and stiffen with the death of their physical bodies, and they will be dispersed back into heaven and earth. ”

The old monk was silent for a moment and then smiled and said: "Understanding this, you can understand that the Demon Sect does not want to build another earth, but to open up a space of its own between heaven and earth, that space may be a lake, a mountain, or a beautiful grassland, but no matter which one it is, these spaces will eventually become a part of heaven and earth." ”

"The same is born in the world, bathed in the divine light of Haotian to grow up, practice breathing and spitting, and finally the body turns into ashes, the breath is dissipated, and the same returns to Haotian's arms, maybe the path of walking is different, but the beginning and end are in the same place, so can you tell me, what is the essential difference between the Demon Sect and the Daomen Buddhist Sect?"

Ye Hongyu was slightly stunned, she couldn't answer, she always felt that there should be some problems in Liansheng Shenzuo's words, but in such a short period of time, she couldn't find the place of the problem.

The old monk looked at her and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, the people in the Demon Sect will die, help them not cause any damage to this balanced and great world that is worth a glance at time, if you can live forever after entering the demon, the Dao Sect or your cautionary hostility can be established, but when has there ever been an immortal in the world?"

Ye Hongyu sat on her lap slowly, her black hair poured down from her shoulders weakly, and her figure looked a little lonely, these words caused too much shock to her Dao heart, if she dared to hear who dared to allude to the same path to the Dao Demon on weekdays, she would definitely sneer and slash it, but the person who said these words today was the Lotus Divine Throne she feared, and more importantly, the Lotus Divine Throne sounded like she couldn't find anything to blame at all.

The old monk seemed to be able to perceive her uneasiness and faint fear at this time, looked at her with a compassionate gaze, sighed softly, but with difficulty raised his right hand and stretched out into the air, and his fingers shone brightly.

Ye Hongyu looked at it in shock.

Ning Que and Mo Shanshan looked at each other puzzled.

At the same time, the three of them felt the sacred aura emitted by the old monk's wizened fingers.

"When I was trapped in the next life to atone for my sins, I laid a cage in this room, and this cage is the world outside my body. The breath of heaven and earth here is thin and uncontrollable, but it can be slowly absorbed into the body by accumulating time, and at this time, the vitality of heaven and earth flows in my thin body, which is the world in my body, and when these two worlds come into contact, there is a wonderful realm born. Because Fan Cage is the Dao Law, and the physical body is the Demon Skill, and when the Tao Law and the Demon Gong meet, it is "......"

The old monk quietly looked at the holy light that swirled between his fingers, and said calmly: "It's magic." ”
