Chapter 33: He Is Not Him
"Zhengโ"
A crisp sound of metal clashing sounded, but it was Lin Xiuran's paper-made folding fan against the round monk's fleshy claws.
Lin Xiuran rushed from the bottom of the mountain, and at the last moment, he used the folding fan in his hand to block the fatal blow of the round monk to Shen Ju'an, saving his life.
The moment Shen Ju'an finally closed his eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief and incomprehension.
He couldn't figure out how Lin Xiuran, who had always been at the bottom of the line, climbed to this point at a strange speed? He couldn't understand why he would take a huge risk to save him who had nothing to do with him on weekdays.
But none of this mattered, because the moment Shen Ju'an closed his eyes, he completely lost consciousness and passed out.
"Zhengโ"
Seeing that the round monk couldn't succeed in a single blow, the demon claw in his hand was retracted and probed, and he attacked again, this time, directly grabbing Lin Xiuran's neck. When they grasp it, they will tear off a piece of his flesh and tear his throat apart.
How could Lin Xiuran give the round monk a chance.
The folding fan in his hand was withdrawn, and after another beat, it was against the claws of the round monk again.
"Zhengโ"
A fan and a claw, two things hit each other, although it is just paper and meat, but the sound is more crisp than the sound of gold and stone hitting each other, as if these two things are harder than swords and stones.
The two things hit each other, and they were evenly matched.
"Hee-hee-hee-"
The round monk kept smiling in his mouth, and a pair of eyes like black ghost fire looked at Lin Xiuran strangely and greedily, as if looking at a delicious food, a perfect body.
Seeing that his blow was blocked by Lin Xiuran again, he knew that the other party was a difficult character, so he quickly turned into a black mist, retreated backwards, separated from him by a distance, and waited for an opportunity to move.
"You...... You're so much more fun than them!"
The round monk looked at his powerful claws, twisted his head, tilted his neck at a strange angle, and looked at Lin Xiuran.
"I'm naturally more interesting than they are. โ
Lin Xiuran faced the unstingy "praise" of the round monk, felt at ease and accepted it generously.
"You see me interesting, in fact, I look at you, I also think it is very interesting, when I saw you a few days ago, I said that the avenue is slim, knowing that your fairy fate will be broken, but I didn't expect that you today, not only the fairy fate is broken, but also enchanted, this is not a good thing, and it is not interesting at all. โ
When the round monk heard this, his twisted head suddenly tilted to the other side, and continued to look at Lin Xiuran at a strange angle.
"You're the nosy guy in the restaurant!"
The round monk's black eyes looked at Lin Xiuran, as if he wanted to pierce his body.
Lin Xiuran smiled and said, "Hehe, it's not bad, you can still remember me, which means that you are still a little sober, and you are not completely enchanted." โ
"Hehe, demons, what is a demon? This is a demon? You people are always so self-righteous, just like that bullshit Buddha in the sky. โ
"You led two women, enjoying all the riches of the world, and grinding with their ears and temples, and you and me, and now, in turn, you have taught me to be enchanted! I ask you, if those two women of yours were also taken by others and married into other women, would you be as mad and angry as I am?"
"You people, but you are all self-righteous hypocrites, you don't know anything, but you will open your mouth to persuade people to be good, open your mouth to be generous, open your mouth to ask people to let go of the past, you people, you really deserve to die!"
"Hahaha-"
The round monk laughed wildly, laughing at Lin Xiuran, and laughing at the whole world.
He has made the whole world an enemy, and he wants to declare war on the whole world, and he wants to kill him bitterly.
"You are wrong, I said that you are obsessed, not that you should not be angry and crazy because of this matter, in my opinion, the cultivation method of the Great Compassion Temple is indeed not a good way, suppressing the heart, abandoning desires, too painful. This avenue is three thousand, and all of them can lead to immortality, so you really don't have to make yourself so embarrassed. Butโ"
Lin Xiuran glanced at the round monk who was controlled by the demons, and said, "But I ask you, are you still you now?" Now you are just a puppet, your words and deeds are just controlled by the demons, you are not the same self you used to be, if this is not a demon, then what is a demon?"
"Hehe, what qualifications do you have to say that I am enchanted, and you don't kill people too?"
What the round monk said was naturally the new branch eye that was killed by Lin Xiuran at the foot of the Golden Scale Mountain-Yan Taikang.
Lin Xiuran not only took away his immortal fate, but also took his life.
If you talk about demons, Lin Xiuran is the biggest demon in this golden scale ladder.
"I kill people, so what? I kill people out of my heart, through my hands, and I make my own decisions. And you are different, every decision you make is made for you by the demon in your heart, and everyone you kill is also told by the demon in your heart to kill you. When I say obsession, it's not whether you kill or not, but whether you're still the same person. โ
Lin Xiuran knew that it was useless to talk more.
"Just like now, these words of mine are obviously for the round monk, but they are all listened to by you, the demon in your heart, you say, right?"
Lin Xiuran looked at the round monk with a smile on his face.
He squinted his eyes and saw through the skin to see the real body inside.
It wasn't just the demon in the heart of the round monk, there was also the "malicious evil thoughts" accumulated by the Golden Scale Heavenly Ladder for hundreds of years, it was a complete demon.
"Hee-hee-hee-"
When the round monk heard this, he let out a strange laugh again.
"You're right, he's no longer him, he's me now. โ
The few remaining human figures on the round monk's face suddenly disappeared, and the only trace of hesitation and reluctance between the eyebrows completely disappeared under the gloomy black aura.
"But so what? since he has chosen to merge with me, he is doomed to his fate, he will live forever, he will be driven by me, he will be my slave. โ
"What, you want to save him?" the round monk smiled suspiciously, "I'm afraid it's too late, do you think he can still get out of my control?"
Once the inner demon seizes the mind of others, it is difficult to be driven out of the body by external forces, and violence is forcibly used, and most of the time, it only causes the original owner of the body to suffer a lot, and has no effect on the inner demon.
Therefore, after the inner demon occupied the body of the round monk, he was so fearless.
The demon knew that if Lin Xiuran wanted to save the round monk, he would definitely not dare to act rashly.
But it is clear that the demons in the heart have mistaken their wishful thinking.
Lin Xiuran said: "You're right, I want to save him." He has been practicing penance for more than ten years, eating vegetarian food for more than ten years, picking water for more than ten years, and accumulating good causes and blessings for more than ten years. โ
"There's one thing you're wrong about, though. โ
Lin Xiuran glanced at the demon in his heart and continued: "Although I pity him a little, I don't want to be controlled by others, so I decided to choose a simple way to solve the problem. โ
"I decided, kill him!"
"I think if he was really conscious at the moment, he would have agreed to me doing so. Instead of letting him be driven by you for the rest of his life and do all the bad things, I should give him a good time now. โ
Once the host of the round monk died, then Lin Xiuran could easily turn that heart demon into ashes, let it disappear, and make him no longer able to do evil.
"You say, how about my method?"
Lin Xiuran said, walking towards the round monk and towards the inner demon.
