Chapter 168: The Meaning of Betrayal (Part II)
Lu Li cried so much that she felt that this world was different, maybe this world was like this, this was her own misunderstanding.
Lao Kun didn't know how to enlighten Lu Li, everything that should be said had already been said, and the rest could only be figured out by Lu Li himself.
Lu Li suddenly remembered something, so he tried to control his emotions, "I have left beforehand." ”
Lao Kun didn't stop it, but just closed the stall and went back to the North Underworld, emphasizing once again: the demon clan is forbidden to enter the North Underworld.
Lu left the wind and walked away, and it was Buzhou Mountain that came to it.
"Uncle Shi. Lu Li swollen his eyes and saluted Qi Pingliu.
Qi Pingliu was meditating under the willow tree, and the two faced each other across the lake.
"Uncle Teacher, I have one thing I want to ask Uncle Teacher. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Why did Uncle Shi come to the Demon World to found Buzhou Mountain?"
"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?"
"Senior Uncle, today Senior Kun told me that the four of you came out of Kunlun and have always adhered to the original intention, just to let all living beings in the world have a suitable place to practice, right?"
"Not bad. ”
"But the archives in the secret realm show that Bacang was in chaos back then, and the secret realm instantly collapsed a side of the world, because of this incident, more than 500,000 goblins died in the secret realm. You know that?"
"Yes. ”
"On the day that Ba Cang's body returned to Chaos, before you left the God Realm and entered the Demon Realm, did you already know that Ba Cang was going to die as a martyr?"
"Yes. ”
"Then why didn't you stop it?"
"You want to stop the north too, did you do it?"
"Then I really want to ask Uncle Shi, why did the gods and demons fight but the demon clan who suffered from the secret realm? Bacang was admired by the world for his martyrdom, but our demon clan died 500,000 people inexplicably! Before Bacang wanted to die generously, did he think that the secret realm would collapse because of this? When Uncle Shi knew that Bacang was going to be martyred, did he think that innocent people would be affected by this? Or did you think about it, but you just don't care, you don't care about the life or death of the demon clan at all. In your eyes, the goblin is dead, and you don't even have to say hello!"
"What if you say hello, can the outcome change?"
This sentence is very familiar to Lu Li, "the ending cannot be changed", Xiang Bei said it, Yu Shui said it, and Qi Pingliu said it again. "Isn't it true that if you can't change the ending, you won't do anything, and you won't even give anyone else a chance to choose, and it's up to you, the high immortals, to decide the life and death of everyone? Don't you want to give all living beings an equal opportunity to practice? Why is it that when you get to the goblins, everything is invalid?"
Qi Pingliu remembered that during the Second War of Gods and Demons, in order to end the war as soon as possible, Bacang single-handedly wiped out the most elite troops of the two sides. But Bacang also died, the secret realm collapsed, and 500,000 innocent beings were affected. How could Qi Pingliu not think of this, but at that time, Bacang repeatedly deduced and found that if he didn't die, there would be more than so many "few" casualties.
On that day, the two returned to Kunlun again, back to the place where they set out that year.
"Is it worth it?"
Ba Cang's heart was already as calm as water, "But you can also see that no matter how we deduce, this battle between gods and demons will enter a protracted tug-of-war." When the time comes, it will not be me alone, and it will not be just a million casualties, but tens of millions, and this is what you want to see? When the people's livelihood will wither, it will take tens of thousands of years to recover, which is completely contrary to our years of dedication to promoting the path of cultivation, if we miss the opportunity of tomorrow, we will regret it for 10,000 years in the future, how will we face the common people in the world, and how will we be able to get over the hurdle in our hearts?"
Qi Pingliu and Bacang have been deducing together for a long time, and it seems that they can't find a better way to solve it. The haze in Qi Pingliu's heart could not be dissipated for a long time, and he looked far away, the vast sea of clouds in Kunlun, the looming cultivation platform, all these most familiar scenes, seemed so cold today.
Bacang continued: "When we left here, we also thought that there would be difficulties and obstacles, but who would have thought that one day we would really have to be martyred? But Qi Pingliu, if we all think that we can't die, then who in this world deserves to die? When we left here and walked from the worldly cultivation ground to the rolling red dust, we gave up our eternal comfort and welcomed the joys and sorrows of the mortal world, and life and death should also be looked down upon. ”
Qi Pingliu's mouth moved slightly, and finally turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the Demon Realm. ”
Ba Cang's heart was cold, he thought that Ba Cang would definitely support him, "Qi Pingliu." ”
"If you are martyred tomorrow, it will indeed end the war between gods and demons, but it will also shorten the time for the two realms to recuperate. If we don't solve the root cause of the contradiction between the two worlds, you will prevent the second war of gods and demons tomorrow, and there will be a third and fourth war of gods and demons the day after tomorrow. ”
"How do you want to fix it?"
"I'm going to the Demon Realm and start a Demon Realm practice ground with reference to Kunlun to educate demons. Qi Pingliu finally looked into Ba Cang's eyes again, "Ba Cang, I know that I can't stop you from tomorrow, but I want to minimize the contradictions between the two worlds for you and prevent friction and disputes in the future." ”
The corners of Bacang's mouth tugged, "Thank you." ”
Qi Pingliu suddenly got angry, "I don't need you to thank you!"
Bacang laughed, "Qi Pingliu, the four of us are now going our separate ways." In the future, you and Yu Shui, you have to be good. ”
"I don't need you to say it. Qi Pingliu said angrily, and after speaking, his mouth moved slightly, and he almost cried.
The two former best friends both red-eyed and looked at each other for the last time, and since then Yin and Yang have been separated, and Qi Pingliu can only see Bacang again in his imagination.
After listening to Qi Pingliu's memories, Lu Li asked again: "Uncle Shi said that he wanted to reduce the friction between the two worlds of gods and demons?" But you didn't do it, and the third war between gods and demons still happened. ”
"Not bad. As you know, there was a third war between gods and demons. Qi Pingliu slowly stood up and stepped across the lake to Lu Li's side. "Lu Li, you turn around and look at this Buzhou Mountain. It originates in the demon realm, runs through the human realm, and reaches the divine realm. This was originally the beginning of heaven and earth, and the remains of the Pangu god splitting heaven and earth are the original of our Six Realms
An ancient proof of coexistence, inextricable interconnectedness. However, the co-workers knocked down Buzhou Mountain, and the divine realm can no longer find the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, and mortals can only know the name of Buzhou Mountain through the word of mouth of the elders. Lu Li, the reason why I chose not to open a school in Zhoushan back then was to remind the world that the disputes between the Six Realms were simply caused by people's hearts. ”
The two walked slowly along the Styx, "The gap between reality and ideals is too big, and the third war of gods and demons will inevitably happen. The students who walked out from here even went to the battlefield to meet the former students of Bacang. This is something I didn't anticipate at all when I founded Buzhoushan, and even went against my original purpose.
At the beginning of the outbreak of the Third War of Gods and Demons, I thought about it for a long time, and I even went back to Kunlun again to ask Ba Cang, is this what we want? Is this the end of what he did at the cost of losing his life?" Qi Pingliu looked up to the sky and sighed, "But Ba Cang is no longer here, I don't know who to ask." I didn't know what to do, so I walked around Kunlun and ran into my teacher. He didn't say anything, and the two of us walked in the sea of clouds like this, walking and walking, walking and walking, walking for three days and three nights.
I said, disciple is in trouble today, as a teacher, you don't say a word, are you a little ashamed of your teacher's identity?
As a result, my teacher cheekily said, "Aren't you also a teacher?"
After that, I lay in the sea of clouds for a month, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the ideals of the four of us were fundamentally wrong, whether we were wrong in the first place, and that we were working towards a dream that could not be realized at all! I even wondered, is it because of our obsession that the Six Realms have become more and more divided in the past tens of thousands of years, and these frictions did not exist at all before, is it because we have promoted cultivation that these frictions have arisen? Is it because our ideas are out of step with the world that the world is distorted?
I really couldn't figure it out, so I went to the secret realm, I wanted to ask Xiangbei, what should I do, and where should we go from here?"
"You went to the secret realm?"
"yes. Qi Pingliu said slowly: "I went to the secret realm, but I didn't expect Yu Shui to be there, the three of us sat on the big tree platform and talked about it just like when we were in Kunlun before." We fought for a red face and a thick neck, Yu Shui was naturally angry, he felt that the death of Bacang had accelerated the recovery of the two worlds of gods and demons, and after the two worlds of gods and demons recovered, a new round of power struggle began. Xiangbei felt that no matter how long it took, the greed in people's hearts could never be eliminated, so the strife in the Six Realms would never stop. I was like a caged beast, desperate to know what we were going to do, whether we should continue to live our lives the way we were. ”
Qi Pingliu suddenly stood still and said to Lu Li: "Lu Li, what do you think?"
Lu Li's heart was very confused, how could she know these answers? She didn't even know what she should do now, let alone know others
What to do.
"Lu Li, when I was in despair, the big tree platform came to life. They asked me, if the four of us hadn't left Kunlun, would the goblins have a place to practice, would there be a place for mortals to practice, would there be a place for demons to learn restraint? But will there be disputes between them? Yes, there will definitely be disputes, even those who want to practice but are prevented from practicing will have friction with the divine realm, those demons who don't know how to restrain themselves have already had friction with the gods, those goblins may have occupied the human realm long ago, and the battle of the Six Realms has long been inevitable.
At that time, it dawned on me, it was the big tree platform that woke me up, how could I think that the demon clan was not important? Xiang Bei is my best friend with Yu Shui except for Ba Cang, he is still Yu Shui's cousin, how can we not care about Xiang Bei's life or death? Xiang Bei has supported the secret realm for tens of thousands of years, and he has even been isolated from us for many years for the demon clan in the secret realm, how can he not care about the life or death of the demon clan?
Lu Li, the world you know is the world you think in your heart, not the real world. You have to keep going through, keep observing, keep learning, and understand the true face of the world, and what you think is the betrayal now doesn't exist at all, it's just that you don't understand it yourself. ”
