After Bai Lian walked out of the passage, he sighed: "That year, I traveled in Xiaosumeru Mountain, and I had a deep friendship with Lu Xu, and after a few years, I left the Western Soil and went to the Central Plains to ask, the world thought that I was living in seclusion in the Jade Mi Sect during this time, but in fact, it was not. During that time, I was invited by Lu Xu and quietly came to the land of northern Xinjiang, which is the Qingying Mountain where the clouds are shaking. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhao was in a slightly mood, and secretly wondered if this mysterious powerhouse had a really good relationship with Lu Xuan and that Yun Piaoyao back then, and even went to Qingming Mountain, which was difficult for ordinary people to visit? Yun Piaoyao actually invited him to Qingming Mountain as a guest, this person was really calculating, and he could still gain the trust of the demon clan and the people in the Dao Sect, thinking that he was a first-rate person in the world regardless of the realm, means, and intentions.

Bai Lian didn't know what Yang Zhao was thinking at this time, and looked at the forest cloth outside the passage with a gentle expression, as if looking at the paradise opened up by the Huangquan Demon Sanctuary thousands of years ago, and continued slowly: "In the impression of the world, I was originally a person who was jealous and hateful, and the truth was not far off. Those people in the Demon Realm kill innocents indiscriminately, rob children and forcibly force them to practice demonic skills, and even some ghosts in the Netherworld use the people of the Cultivation Realm as their food, and I don't know how many people die every year, but are they just an iron plate?"

"When the Southern Xinjiang Demon Dao was in full swing, there were three thousand six hundred schools in nine sects, and each school had different cultivation concepts and even the concept of joining the WTO, and some schools were like Buddhist ascetic monks, and they did not lead the world to deal with at all, how could such a school be evil?"

Bai Lian paused and retracted his gaze, looked at Yang Zhao and Xiao Bai and said calmly: "And the people in the Netherworld are the same as the Demon Dao in Southern Xinjiang, just like any sect, there are good people and bad people, I admit that most of these people are bad people, but there are always good people, but when the hilt of the sword of those two people cuts open the door of space and kills into the space and wields a bloody rain, how do you know if the person who died under the sword is good or bad?"

"And when Lu Xuan and Yun Piaoyao slaughtered into this mysterious space, I was in this valley. Bai Lian slowly lowered her head, and there was a dry sound in her cervical spine, as if she might fall down at any time, and said: "I have lived in the Netherworld for many years, and I have also practiced in the Cultivation Realm for many years, so naturally I have a lot of old knowledge, and it was on that day...... All these people I know are dead. ”

"And I lurked in the netherworld, the purpose is to take revenge, those people died in front of me, I should be happy, but I don't know why, I just can't be happy. Watching those familiar cheeks being cut in half, the children who used to bounce on my lap being cut in half, watching the blood spread out of the temple, staining the lower half of the Huangquan Cave Mansion red, and then flowing down the stone steps, and finally slowly dripping down the stone sorghum that you should see into the pitch-black abyss, I suddenly found myself sad. ”

Yang Zhao frowned slightly and said, "That's enough." ”

Bai Lian looked at him compassionately, shook his head slowly, and said: "This is not the killing karma created by Lu Xuan and Yun Piaosha, I recall those pictures, and I don't blame him, I just want to find out, what is a demon, after all, these are all caused by me?"

"Are the people of the Southern Xinjiang Demon Dao and the Netherworld who indiscriminately kill innocents demons, or are the two people who kill people like crazy demons? I am worried that Lu Xuan will become demons, so I let him kill evil, will I let him fall into demons instead? Or am I, the conspirator who secretly arranged a plot behind the scenes, the real demons? Looking at the blood all over the ground, I began to ask myself some questions. ”

Bai Lian's voice gradually became confused, this kind of doubt is the doubt when standing on Mount Meru to look at the Buddha, the doubt of standing in the ruins and feeling the vicissitudes of history, and the doubt about himself and the world.

"How to distinguish between the righteous path and the demonic path, and what is the truth......

"If we rely on ideas and morality, people in the netherworld and the demons in southern Xinjiang kill innocents indiscriminately, then who doesn't kill people on the long path of cultivation? The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, if we kill people, we will become demons, then what about butchers killing pigs? You and I picked up stones on the road when we were children and smashed wild dogs? We gnawed on pigs' trotters and gnawed on our hands full of oil, and we pulled those tenacious tendons with relish, but did we ever think that this was the flesh of a pig? Are we already enchanted when we do these things?"

"If you rely on your background, the legendary Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea was still a disciple of the Daomen Hongjun Ancestor in ancient times, and the Heavenless Demon Ancestor of the Lord of the Demon Realm in history had a noble morality and a compassionate and wonderful realm, and he was still a member of my Buddhism before the Middle Ages, and even a big disciple of my Western Rulai, where is there still innate evil?

Bai Lian was stunned and said softly: "When everyone who entered this space was killed, blood flowed like a river, and I have been atoning for my sins for thousands of years since that day, and I have been thinking about this question for thousands of years. ”

Yang Zhao and Xiaobai silently pondered the words of this grandmaster who could be called a generation, each with their own thoughts.

Bai Lian raised her head again, and said without hesitation: "Maybe what I said is a little worse, the reason why the Demon Dao is a demon has nothing to do with the concept and morality, nor does it have anything to do with the origin of the lineage, but the exercise itself is evil." ”

"When Pangu opened up the world, Hongjun Ancestor said that in the world, so that all things in the world can grow, and there is a breath of circulation between heaven and earth. However, if the exercises practiced by the demons of the Demon Sect forcibly rob the qi of nature and invastate the heaven and earth in the body, if they steal the brilliance of the heavens and the earth, if these demons are allowed to become strong, everyone will go mad and fall into the devil, how can they say the truth? ”

Bai Lian's voice was extremely firm and sober at this time, and when it came to the distinction between Dao and Demon, he seemed to have become very tough, and said in a deep voice: "The difference between Dao and Demon is not in the concept and not in the pulse, but only in the difference between survival and destruction, if there is black and white, light and darkness, how can it be compatible?"

Yang Zhao listened to this crisp sound like an iron kite dispelled the doubts in his heart, he nodded lightly, thinking that this is very true, the so-called Dao Demon, the division lies in whether there is good intentions or evil thoughts about this world.

It was because he had never understood before, why neither the Daomen nor the Buddhist cultivators regarded the mention of the Demon Dao as an enemy oath, which was resolutely heart-palpitating, and today's words of the White Lotus finally made him understand the truth.

The Demon Dao Exercises are used to quickly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the deeper the realm, the slower the absorption, while the Daomen and the Buddha's Sect are gradual, and there is rarely a tendency to go mad.

He finally discovered that the Demon Dao was hostile to the righteous path, and it turned out to be a matter of practicing the exercises.

All the cultivators in the world, such as Yang Zhao, have doubted and even reflected on the difference between Dao and Demon in the world on the long path of cultivation, but unlike other cultivators, Yang Zhao is not limited by the inherent views of the world and gradually stops thinking about these problems and makes his dislike of demons become a part of his energy, but constantly increases his understanding of the world, learns and analyzes from it, and finally draws his own opinions.

This kind of thoughtful gain is ten million times firmer than the concept in the hearts of some mediocre cultivators, so even though Yang Zhao felt that Bai Lian's point of view was very correct, he still insisted on his own point of view and refused to bow his head, because he thought that this was the truth.

His views are not hypocritical, nor pretentious, he does not talk to others about chance and cause and effect, killing only talks about interests, and whether preaching the two ways of Taoism and demons will bring benefits or harm to himself, because it is simple, it is certain, so it is extremely difficult to refute, but how can he lightly expound his views in front of others?

However, Bai Lian was a master of a generation after all, and he seemed to see Yang Zhao's point of view clearly, and only used a very simple paragraph to make Yang Zhao's seemingly unbreakable point of view suddenly relax a little.

"As I said earlier, I have lived in the Netherworld for a period of time, and I have also spent time in the Southern Xinjiang Demon Dao, I think there should be no one in this world who understands the Demon Sect more deeply than me. Bai Lian looked at Yang Zhao and Xiao Bai with a gentle expression, and said, "I had the same idea as you, but when I saw the cultivation of people in the Demon Dao, their birth and death, and their relationship with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, this kind of thinking gradually changed, because I was the same as you now, I forgot a very important question. ”

"People in the righteous path are the same as people in the demon path, even if some people will get immortality, but many people will eventually die, and sell themselves for their own interests, in fact, such people are demons. ”

Bai Lian was silent for a moment and then smiled and said: "Understanding this, I understand, in fact, the Dao Demon is just a thought, there is righteousness in your heart, you are naturally the right path, and there is an evil demon in your heart, it will naturally be called the Demon Dao, and you are also born in the human world, practice breathing and spitting, and eventually the body will turn into ashes, and the breath will be dispersed, or you may be able to fly to the fairy world, maybe the path you walk is different, but the beginning and the end point are in the same place, so can you tell me, what is the essential difference between the Demon Dao and the Righteous Dao or even the Buddha Gate?"

Yang Zhao was slightly stunned, he couldn't answer, he also felt that Bai Lian's words were very reasonable, but in such a short period of time, he couldn't find the problem, so he had to shake his head and said, "Is it a difference in cultivation views?"

Bai Lian nodded and looked at Yang Zhao and said calmly: "Maybe that's the case, because I can't see the essence of these causes and effects clearly, and where can I see clearly when I am in the tribulation." ”

After saying this, he slowly put down the gesture of the white lotus petals, the black hair poured down from his shoulders weakly, and his figure looked a little lonely, the Taoist Buddha and the Demon were on the same path, who could blame whom, his mood was very uneasy and even a little faintly afraid at this time, he looked at Yang Zhao and Xiaobai with a compassionate gaze, and sighed softly, but with difficulty he raised his right hand and stretched it out into the air, and the white lotus between his fingers bloomed again.

Yang Zhao and Xiao Bai looked at each other puzzledly, and both of them felt the sacred and somewhat ghostly aura emitted by Bai Lian's white fingertips at the same time.

"When I atoned for thousands of years in the next life, and then when Lu Xuan finally stepped on the other side of the demonic path, I found that there was still this kind of cultivation method, that is, the demon Dao Buddha, when the three laws are fused, there will be a wonderful change, perhaps this is the supreme Taoist method in the legend, after the wonderful realm is born, because the Taoist and the demonic Dao are incompatible, and with the concept of Buddhism, it is yin and yang. ”

"And when these three exercises meet, what will happen, it's a pity that I only practiced the Dharma of Buddha and Demons. ”

Bai Lian quietly looked at the Buddha light and ghostly shadows that swirled between her fingers, and said calmly: "That may be the real avenue." ”
