Volume 2 Three Lives Chapter 27 Interlude (5)
Danruo's good deeds naturally endangered the interests of some people, including the prestige and merit of some Taoist priests and monks. Some Taoist priests who had been cultivating for a long time were dissatisfied with her and tried every means to catch her. Later, they found out the identity of Dan Ruo Demon and publicized it.
The people naturally didn't believe it at first, but when Dan Ruo showed the true body of the flower under the demon mirror, except for Zijin, no one was willing to stand up for her, believe in her, and defend her.
"It turned out to be a youkai, it's terrifying!"
"That's right, I actually ate the food she brought, it can't be something unclean, right?"
"Then why was she so nice to us before?"
"It must have ulterior motives!"
"yes, maybe she wanted to gain our trust from the beginning, let us let our guard down, and finally eat us while we were unprepared!"
"Maybe they will drink our blood, cramp and peel the skin, and suck our yang energy!"
"That's right!"
“......”
Zijin has always been in front of Danruo - he was timid and incompetent in the past, she has always protected him, and now, he can finally stand in front of her to protect her, but he would rather this scene never happen, she will never end up in such a situation.
Zijin said angrily: "How can you be so ungrateful! Who gave you free medical treatment, who gave you food and clothing, you ......?"
"Speaking of free clinics," one person interrupted, "my son was not saved by her in the end. It was she who killed my son because she was useless, and it was all because of her! Kill to pay for your life, demon girl, take your life!"
"Demon girl, take your life!"
"Kill her!"
"Kill her!"
“......”
Those Taoist priests united to trap Danruo and Zijin in the magic circle on the altar, but no one was willing to stand up and speak for them. There was a crowd of people under the altar, and the mortals who had helped Dan Ruo were crowded one after another. They used to be the needy, the weak, and the sufferers, but now they have all become the promoters of evil, the invisible executioners.
Simply because, she's a demon. Therefore, as long as the irrelevant people provoke the slightest, the group of people who exist like believers will attack her en masse.
In their eyes and words, Danruo reads greed, discontent, selfishness, jealousy, disgust, curse, indifference, laziness, ignorance, arrogance, ignorance...... Greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and suspicion are all poisonous, and perhaps this is the source of their misery.
In the circle, there was only despair in Danruo's eyes. It was as if a voice was telling her, "Behold, these are the people whom your heart desires to save." You know, there's no cure for them. You can't save them, and you can't save yourself. ”
It turns out that this is the human heart.
When she felt that it was difficult to save all beings, that powerlessness did not defeat her, but it was these people she loved deeply who pushed her into the abyss step by step.
She is good, but she is not stupid. And the word "goodness" is no longer necessary for her from now on.
"Danruo, don't be afraid, I will protect you, and I will always be by your side. Only Zijin's firm and powerful voice came from his ears.
It's a pity that no amount of warm voice can bring her back.
Twin flowers, twins of good and evil. One for good, one for evil. As everyone knows, good and evil are opposite. Zhaoyun's evil thoughts can be purified, why can't her good thoughts be consumed?
The voice gradually became eerie and terrifying, giggling, but like the wail of a terrible ghost in hell: "You have always believed in goodness, you have helped so many people, but why haven't you looked at your brother for so long? You are selfless to so many people, but why are you so ruthless to him? You are afraid? You retreat again?"
"I didn't," Danruo retorted, covering her ears in pain, "I didn't!"
Zijin saw her abnormality: "Danruo, what's wrong with you? Who are you talking to?"
"No? Then why haven't you looked at him for so long? You haven't seen him once, you never cared if he was doing well, are you so selfish? You're just afraid, you're afraid of his evil thoughts, because you believe in your goodness, so you dislike him, even fear him. But I remember that he came to see you, but you didn't want to see him, so you turned him away. Don't try to contradict me, am I not right?"
The voice continued:
"Are you afraid of evil, or are you afraid of becoming evil?"
"But do you know that good and evil are twins, and why can't good become evil?"
Danruo knew that this was her inner demon.
She scoffed, "What is good? What is evil?"
The violence of one man is evil, and the violence of a hundred people is evil. And what about 10,000 people? Maybe that's good.
Nothing in the world is ever black and white. When the red color reaches the extreme, it becomes black.
Good and evil may only be in a thought. A thought becomes a demon, and he is willing to fall.
Zijin watched Danruo's eyes turn red, and the magic lines on his forehead gradually became clear, and he knew that many things had changed.
"Zijin, thank you. But......" Danruo's voice was grim and cold, "now, no one can hurt me." ”
I remember a long, long time ago, God was dissatisfied with the people He had created and decided to destroy them and create them again into something better and more perfect. Then came the world-destroying flood. Unfortunately, in the end, God's wishes were not fulfilled. I do think that destruction is not a good idea. Destroy all ignorance, destroy all greed and hatred, and only then can we get a new life. What I didn't do before, let me make it happen. Dan Ruo's tone was gloomy and cold, the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile without the slightest smile, and his eyes were full of hatred and madness, as well as despair and sorrow.
"Danruo, don't do anything stupid. Zijin held her hand tightly and comforted.
But at this time, she couldn't listen to anything.
As if destroying the heavens and destroying the earth, Danruo became a demon.
All the people present, except for Zijin and Danruo, were not spared. The blood flowed like a river, and the death was miserable. No matter how Zijin tried to stop it, it would be useless.
She is the one who has great mercy and relief for all people, and she is also the one who has killed countless people and destroyed them madly. Good and evil are but a thought.
After committing such a crime, Dan Ruo naturally did not escape the responsibility of the heavenly realm. At the last moment, she did her best to get Zijin to a safe place, and then calmly accepted the never-ending punishment in the Nine Hells.
Zijin's last words to her were, wait for me.
For 300 years, Danruo has been locked up in hell and tortured.
Zijin has been diligent in cultivating in order to save Danruo, and in order to see her risking his life to steal the Dinghai Canglan Pearl, he wants to go to the underworld hell to see her.
Zijin now has a certain status and prestige in the demon world, and has become the right-hand man of the demon king. The demon guards who were sent to arrest Princess Jisang were his subordinates, so he ordered those demon guards to make trouble in the Wuxiang Palace, so as to drag everyone down, so that they could attack the east and west and steal the Dinghai Canglan Pearl.
"There was a reason for it, and I couldn't bear it, so I let Zijin go. After all, it is for my sister, and all the guilt is borne by me, so I beg the king to spare Zijin. Zhaoyun pleaded.
Chaosheng was just a little puzzled: "Since he needs the bead, he just comes to ask this seat for it, why don't you ask for it?"
Zhaoyun lowered his head, "Since finding out the whereabouts of Dinghai Canglan Zhu, Zijin has never stopped, but he was preempted by Chu Mad . The beads were sent from the South China Sea to Tianyu Mountain, and Zijin grabbed all the way, but he never succeeded. So ...... "So they all grabbed all the way, and it's not bad."
Chaosheng raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, "This seat knows." ”
Danruo was dedicated to goodness but eventually fell into the devil's path, and Zijin never gave up for three hundred years. Even if the people of the world fail Danruo, there will always be someone who has always stood by her side.
Chao Sheng knew in her heart that the Changming Hall was not a Tzu Chi Hall, so how could she give so much for nothing? She really didn't intend to investigate their faults, after all, she didn't bother to care about trivial matters. Besides, it was useless for her to ask for the beads, but just to put them on display. But Changming Hall is not so easy to bully, she wrote down this account first, and then it will be settled with the demon clan.
"Your Majesty, so ...... What do you mean......" Zhaoyun looked at Asahi pleadingly.
Chaosheng was helpless, "You are really your sister's good brother." I really don't know if it was right or wrong to get rid of your evil thoughts in the first place. ”
Seeing that Chaosheng was relieved, Zhao Yunmei opened his eyes and smiled, "Naturally, it is right, what the king does is right."
If he hadn't met Chaosheng at the beginning, I'm afraid he would have been left to fend for himself in the underworld, and he would not have been able to see the light of this world.
Isn't it an evil idea to hold his forehead silently, and flattery on the dog's legs? Sure enough, this guy is still impure.
"That's it, I don't bother to investigate the guilt of you and Qi Mo, but if you dare to do it again next time......"
"There will never be a next time!" Zhaoyun hurriedly assured.
Chao Sheng hooked his lips slightly, "But ...... Zijin's culpability......"
"Please also open up on the Internet!" Zhaoyun hurriedly pleaded, "You said that as long as you can be convinced, you will not pursue anything." ”
Zhaoyun's voice became smaller and smaller, and the more he spoke, the more he had no confidence. He knew what Chaosheng had said, and he never looked at credibility, only mood.
"As long as he can do one thing, this seat will give him all the beads in vain, and that little will not be pursued. Chaosheng said meaningfully.
"What's the matter?"
"Danruo's good thoughts have been completely wiped out, and now only evil thoughts remain, and he has become a demon. If Zijin has a way to make Danruo let go of his obsession and get rid of his evil thoughts, this seat will no longer pursue his faults. ”
Chaosheng is not a great compassion and wants to purify all sentient beings, she is really idle, so idle that she has nothing to do and find something to do. Obviously, watching a play is a good choice.
“...... Huh?" Zhaoyun looked embarrassed, "This is too difficult, isn't it?"
"Is it difficult?" Chaosheng disagreed, "I think it's easy for this seat to get rid of your evil thoughts, it's not difficult at all." ”
“......”
I want to ......
Zhaoyun has a big head. When he was brought back to the Changming Hall by Chaosheng, the flowers that had always been turned into the original body were planted in pots by Chaosheng. In addition to watering him every day with the clean water of Yintian Pond, Chaosheng took him to the back mountain every day to see the scenery and bask in the sun, which was to let the old man of Fusang come to tell him stories every day. The story he told was nothing more than a story of benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and shame, which made his ears callous, and his brain became convinced of his evil as soon as his brain was hot. Zhaoyun, who was still a delicate flower at that time, couldn't stand this kind of devastation anymore, and decided to change his mind and be a good man.
Thinking of this, he was also very convinced, how boring the old man of Fusang must be to talk to himself in front of a pot of flowers alone, and report every day and never be absent.
It may be that those subtle influences finally played a role, and Zhaoyun unconsciously became what it is now. He didn't feel that he had any good or bad thoughts in him, and he didn't even seem to have such a concept for a long time. It seems that when the line between good and evil is not so clear, he is much more transparent.
"Good...... Okay......" Zhaoyun reluctantly responded.
