Chapter 468: Separation of Good and Evil
The breeze blows, and the lake ripples slightly in the moonlight.
At this moment, Mu Lingyu's mood was like a round of expanding ripples, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
The figures of Su Ji and Lin Zi vaguely appeared on the surface of the lake.
Su Ji said in a low voice: "Human affection is in people's hearts, what can you prove if you ask such a child's play?"
"Prove that you have me in your heart. Lin Zi replied.
Su Ji looked at her disapprerovingly and said, "I do have a woman in my heart, but unfortunately it's not you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Lingyu's face changed slightly.
The wind stopped, the lake returned to tranquility, and the frowning eyebrows of the forest appeared like a mirror.
"Lie! You know what you want, why don't you dare to face your heart?"
Su Ji said lightly: "Don't be too self-righteous. I'll admit that your past is important to me, but that's just the past. Over the years, you have done all kinds of evil deeds to my relatives and friends around me, so that I cannot forgive you in any way. If it weren't for the way you are now, I would have wanted to break you to pieces!"
Lin Zi closed his eyes slightly, "In order to save you from Hojing, I suffered the pain of losing my son, the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing my body, and I was imprisoned alone in the dark and cold place of the deep palace for ten years. Thou hast remembered only my wickedness, but thou hast forgotten my goodness unto thee, and where is thy conscience!"
Looking at the forest reflected on the lake, Mu Lingyu frowned and said, "That demon himself, how can he have a conscience?"
The Queen Mother of the West shook her head and said slowly: "All living beings in the world have a conscience, even jackals, tigers and leopards. Qing Li has traveled in the world for thousands of years in human form, and his time as a human being is far longer than that of a fox, so he naturally knows what is right and what is wrong, what should be done and what should not be done as a human being. When people do evil, the slightest hesitation in the depths of the heart is conscience. When people in the world commit murder, the slightest hesitation at the moment of waving a knife is also a discovery of conscience. ”
"Qingli also has a heart?"
"Qingli once gave his heart to a man named Ji Fa. ”
"Martial King Ji Fa?"
"Have you ever heard the legend of him sleepwalking in Qingqiuyi?"
Mu Lingyu groaned: "Legend has it that Martial King Ji Fa had a dream when he was a child. He dreamed that he had grown old with a woman in a place called Cheongqiu-eup, until he was born, old, sick and died. After the end of that dream life, Ji Fa, who was only seven years old, woke up from the dream. Later, one day, Ji Fa met the daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, and saw that her appearance was similar to that of his wife Shen Xiao in his dream. Could it be that Ji Fa's dream wife is Qingli?"
"Not bad. The world only knows that Ji Fa led 800 princes to attack Chaoge and break the tyranny of the king of Shang, but few people think that Ji Fa can be destroyed into soup, and there is also the credit of Qingli to confuse the king's heart. However, when Qingli was facing beheading, Ji Fa did not save her to death in order to dissociate himself from her. Later, from this man who betrayed her, Qingli felt the fragility of human nature. If you give your heart unreservedly to another person, you will inevitably be hurt. While Qingli is contaminated with human nature, he also has a conscience, and it is very painful to want to live between good and evil. Until Yu Hongzhi sealed Qingli's form with a seal deed against the sky. Qing Li simply separated the part of human nature with that wisp of form, and it was the woman in green named Lin Zi. Since then, Qingli's good and evil have been divided into two, half of which is ruthless evil, and the other half is infatuated good. When Qingli, who has a clear conscience, does evil, there will be no more entanglements and hesitations. She became exceptionally powerful because no one could get her heart. She had no weaknesses, and no one could hurt her. ”
Mu Lingyu asked, "Is there no way to get rid of her?"
The Queen Mother of the West said: "If you want to eradicate Qingli, the only way to let her conscience return to her original body is to combine good and evil into one." ”
Mu Lingyu was thoughtful, looking down at the sparkling lake.
The water shimmered with stars, and an elderly scribe walked into the picture, which was none other than Si Bojifu.
Xi Bojifu walked up to Su Ji and said earnestly: "There has never been absolute good and evil in this world. Qing Li is just acting on Nuwa's orders, even if she doesn't do those things, he will still do them on her behalf. ”
Su Ji said: "Dad, are you still helping her speak?"
Xi Bojifu shook his head and said, "I'm not helping her, I'm just helping ourselves." The Emperor of Dongyue, who guards the Nine Springs, is in charge of all the undead on the Moonman Road. Qingli can let us meet the Emperor Dongyue and let those dead old people return to the yang world, including your mother. ”
Su Ji's eyes suddenly opened slightly, and he said in surprise: "Mother, can you also come back from the dead?"
Xi Bojifu nodded and said, "Not only your mother, but everyone else who died because of Qingli." The so-called good and evil are not static, but will change depending on the position. Now only Qingli can help you return to the yang world. ”
Su Ji's gaze shook slightly, after all, what his father said was really incredible.
Lin Zi stepped on the snow-white ground, took a few steps forward, faced a frozen soul, and sighed: "Look at the poor people suffering in this Eight Cold Hells. Murder is not enough, and even if their sins in life are unforgivable, they will not suffer such crimes. In the Western scriptures, it is said: Good and evil are rewarded, and heaven is reincarnated. Good will have good results, evil will eat evil fruits, and all good and evil will be rewarded in the cycle of cause and effect...... It's just nonsense!"
"What's the nonsense?" asked Su Ji.
Lin Zi replied with his back to Su Ji and said: "You said that I have done a lot of evil in my life, but I am still at large for thousands of years, and those so-called good people in your mind have all died in front of me, and even been sent to hell and suffered, dare to ask how good and evil are rewarded?"
Looking at the soul that was frozen to the point of cracking flesh, Su Ji couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. Even if a person deserves a thousand cuts, no one is qualified to judge him, because no one is truly spotless.
Those officials in the underworld only decide the good and evil of others based on their own thoughts. Good and evil coexist, there is evil in good, good in good, good and evil in one thought, and in the eyes of the judge of the Western Sect in the reincarnation hall of the Netherworld, it seems that all the dead souls should go to hell.
Bowing his head and being silent for a moment, Su Ji said: "If Emperor Dongyue can really bring those old people back to life, I would like to see him." ”
Lin Zi slowly turned around and gently hooked his fingers, as if to let him follow him again. With a rapid flapping of wings, Su Ji spread his wings and flew in mid-air.
While the three figures were walking in the snow, a dark crow was hiding in the black clouds in the sky and looking down. The black feathers shone brightly, and the crow quietly flipped its wings and flew steadily, trailing behind Su Ji and the others.
