Chapter 13: Necessary Evil
Chapter 13: Necessary Evil
"The Demon Slaying Conference is all atonement!" sighed.
"Is the Demon Slaying Conference an atonement?" Han Xuanming was puzzled, "In the underground palace, if it is over, doesn't he mean to kill all the people who came to participate in the conference?"
"Acting like this is by no means tantamount to a massacre, if so, it can be regarded as atonement, then how to write the word 'killing'?" Han Xuanming asked in surprise.
At this moment, Han Xuanming was full of suspicions, and it was impossible to agree with Guo's point of view. His pair of eyes, the light in his pupils, looked directly into Guo's eyes, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
Instead of answering Han Xuanming's question, he asked out loud: "Do you think one life is important, or is it a hundred lives that are important?"
Before Han Xuanming could answer, he sighed and said, "There are some things that can't be put on the two ends of the balance to make comparisons." ”
But the cruel reality always makes people's hearts cold again and again, and they are forced to make choices. Because, if we don't care, whether it is a human life or a hundred human lives, it will all disappear and disappear. ”
Looking at Han Xuanming's eyes, Liguo asked again: "The poor monk asked you, on the sea, there were two boats, one on one boat and a hundred people on the other. Now, both boats are leaking at the same time, and you have something in your hand that can plug the leak. ”
"You...... Save one, or save hundred?"
"This ......" Han Xuanming hesitated for a moment, and then frowned: "This choice is indeed difficult, but it is not very difficult, if you have to choose, of course you have to save a hundred people." ”
"The poor monk asks you again, do you think it is the right choice for such a choice?"
Han Xuanming shook his head and said: "There is no correct way to say such a question, only the most reasonable choice is among the unreasonable." For ordinary people, there is no doubt that more people must be rescued. ”
He said: "You are right, my senior brother, is that ordinary person. In order to save more people, he chose to kill some people, and I can't deny his choice, and I can't say right or wrong. ”
"In the final analysis, the poor monk is just a mortal after all, and in the face of such a difficult choice, the poor monk finally decided not to act. ”
"Do you think that Senior Brother sacrificed a few people in order to save more people, is his choice wrong?"
Faced with Guo's question, this time, Han Xuanming did not answer, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help lowering his head, feeling a little confused in his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The reality is cruel, what you want to get, at the same time, you have to pay a certain price, if you don't do anything, in the end, you will only get boundless sadness.
The act of ending may be wrong, very wrong, but what if it is placed in front of thousands of living beings?
As the fruit said, the two should not be placed at the same time, at both ends of the scale. But the reality is that these two are very cruel, that is, they have to be put to weigh at both ends, and the problem is in front of us, how to choose?
At least for now, although the end was brutally slaughtered, it did not cause too terrible effects, but little by little, it restored the vitality of Bailu Peak.
After a while, Han Xuanming spoke again: "But even if the demon slaying conference is over, the premeditated killing is to save more people. But what about the people in the dungeon? Do they have to die?"
Li Guo did not respond to Han Xuanming, but explained: "For more than ten years, Senior Brother and I have tried every means to collect those scattered energy streams and bring them back to Bailu Peak, and finally, the vitality here has been restored. ”
"However, at the beginning of the disaster, things were not ...... like this"
"Without the White Deer Peak, it is tantamount to a hell on earth, the grass and trees are withering, the living are dying, and there is even a plague, which has begun to spread gradually, and it has the potential to cover the entire northern Xuantian. ”
"At that time, my brother and I were anxious and wanted to make up for our sins. However, with the few energy streams that have just been collected, how can we stop the spread of the catastrophe?"
"Finally, in desperation, senior brother, he fell into the devil's ......" Speaking of this, Li Guo suddenly sighed, his eyes were full of bitterness and helplessness, and he shook his head weakly.
"The way that Senior Brother thought of was a blood sacrifice!" stopped his words and remembered the past.
At that time, Liguo tried to stop the knot, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
From the end of the question, he asked again and again, is it a few lives that are important, or the whole world is important, if you don't sacrifice a few people, do you really want to watch, the entire northern Xuantian has become a dead land?
Guo also said that perhaps, there will be other ways, but at that time, there was no time, and they were allowed to think of other ways. Time, for the entire White Deer Peak, for the Northern Xuantian, there is not much left.
Time is the most merciful because it is equal to everyone, and time is the most merciless because it is equal to everyone.
By now, it is no longer clear whether the original decision to end the end was right or wrong, but it is certain that whether it is Bailu Peak or Northern Xuantian, because of the cruel means of ending, it has been saved.
After a long silence, he looked up into the distance, but all he left in his eyes was a gloomy darkness.
There was another burst of emotion and sighs, and the fruit spoke: "In the way of blood sacrifice, the energy left over from the deceased will be stripped away, amplified, and then covered the entire Bailu Peak, so that everything can be restored to its old appearance." ”
"Ruthlessly depriving others of their lives, compassionately giving others life, good or evil, responsibility and sin, is shouldered by the senior brother. ”
"I don't know where Senior Brother learned such an evil method, but I know that this method can be the method of immortality, but Senior Brother, he didn't use it for his own selfish interests, but used it on sentient beings. ”
Li Guo turned around and stared at Han Xuanming's eyes: "Is such a senior brother really a wicked person?"
Han Xuanming said: "But even then, he killed people to save more people, but there is no need for him, he has to torture and kill those people, right?"
"Is it necessary?" said Kuo frowned, "Is it necessary, I don't know......"
"What I do know is that blood sacrifice is an evil law that deprives one party of life in order to create another. ”
"What I know more is that a person who dies tragically, the resentment he generates, that kind of unwillingness, and the energy that is born is far greater than that of ordinary dead people. ”
"Both horizontal and vertical are death, since you want to die, you have to squeeze out the greatest potential, and the people who die, every tragic point, perhaps, can save the lives of hundreds of people. The light in the pupils of the fruit was shining, I didn't know if it was cold, I didn't know if it was warm.
Liguo asked Han Xuanming, "If it were you, how would you choose?"
Han Xuanming was silent, frowned and bowed his head, not knowing what to do, and answered Guo's question. At this moment, Han Xuanming had to admit that it was indeed a difficult problem to choose when he was fought.
Seeing that Han Xuanming didn't reply, he said again: "As far as I know, as far as I can see, the journey along the way, what Senior Brother presents, will always be on the bright side, at least, he is not a wicked person." ”
"I absolutely want to believe that he will not be a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, but the cruel reality has forced him to be a person who will do whatever it takes. His eyes widened, and his words became deep.
To this day, I still can't imagine what kind of tenacious mind my brother has to bear all this, facing the darkness in his heart. ”
At this point, both of them were silent, their heads bowed, not daring to look at each other. The atmosphere of the scene became very depressing, the air seemed to freeze, and there was an inexplicable tension.
After a long time, when Han Xuanming opened his mouth again, he asked, "Holy monk, that lotus, blood lotus......"
Knowing what Han Xuanming wanted to ask, Liguo raised his head and said, "The Blood Lotus is just a medium, a tool used in the blood sacrifice. ”
Liguo explained: "Originally, the blood sacrifice was used for man-to-man, and what the senior brother did was to sacrifice the earth with man, so in the middle, there was a need for a connecting thing. ”
"But that lotus, no matter how peculiar it is, should be just a mortal thing, how can it be connected to the earth?" asked Han Xuanming.
"The lotus flower itself cannot be connected to the entire White Deer Peak, but the things that are lodged on the lotus flower are enough to connect with the ground. He replied.
"What does the lotus flower live in?" Han Xuanming was surprised, "Could it be that the power from the white deer will be given to ...... at the end?"
"It's your one. Guo sighed, "In order to solve the problem in front of him, Senior Brother has no other choice but to do that, and he can only do that." ”
"By now, that lotus plant is believed to have been polluted by resentful spirits, and it is difficult to purify it easily. ”
Liguo's voice became more and more condensed: "I guess that it is precisely because of this that Senior Brother has to be desperate to come up with such a crazy plan to slaughter the heroes of the world." ”
"Maybe, this is also the last time, senior brother, he not only wants other people's lives, but also wants to lose his own life, fight to the death, and completely solve the problems left over from the past. ”
Han Xuanming asked, "So, is the holy monk ready to stop this catastrophe, and wants to watch countless people die?"
"The mistakes we made in the past were made by me and my senior brother, and our mistakes should not be borne by others. Now, however, there is no better way. He replied.
"What I can't do, senior brother can't bear to do it, what reason and face do I have to stop him?" asked Han Xuanming rhetorically.
Han Xuanming asked again: "But, today, the holy monk can save me, why, can't he save the people of the world?" Is it true, there is no other way?"
"I'm not a saint, in the end, I'm just a despicable villain. I save you and help you today, but I have some ulterior motives. ”
Hearing this, Han Xuanming raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the holy monk want me to do?"
Liguo shook his head and didn't say it explicitly, but just said to Han Xuanming: "Those things, in the future, you will naturally understand." Now, what I want you to do is to practice well and be able to reach a higher level. ”
"It's getting late, so let's rest early. Tomorrow is the 14th of July, and although it is only one day, I will do my best to teach you something, and I hope you will gain something. ”
"Alright, let's go rest!"
Han Xuanming didn't say anything more, turned around and left, he didn't go almost, he clearly heard the sound of the fruit behind him, and another deep sigh.
"Every saint has a past, and every wicked person has a future. ”
