Ran Deng Buddha couldn't help but frowned after reading the news just sent by Di'e.
A long time ago, the old guys in the Divine Realm knew that Taoist Lu Shi valued Lord Yunhe of the Sanqing Taoist Court very much and regarded him as a candidate to determine the Tao.
However, Ran Deng Buddha knew better that what Taoist Lu Shi valued was not the person Lord Yunhe, but the force behind Lord Yunhe!
An eternal Taoism that can be called mysterious in the long history of destiny, known as the originator of Taoism!
This force is called "Three Pure Views"!
In terms of foundation, it is not inferior to the Lingshan Ancestral Court where their Buddhist lineage is entrenched in the eternal heaven!
"Did Sanqing Temple send someone here... No wonder they did this..."
The burning Buddha whispered in his heart.
Originally, he was furious in his heart and thought that when he found out the murderer of the blood-clothed corpse, he would teach him an unforgettable lesson.
But now, the lamp-burning Buddha has extinguished this idea.
If the murderer really comes from Sanqing Temple, this matter will become more difficult.
After thinking about it, Ran Deng Buddha summoned an old monk with white eyebrows and ordered: "Send someone to visit the Qilin Chamber of Commerce and tell them that the clues Su Yi is looking for are in the ruins of Sanqing Taoist Court."
"Here."
The white-browed old monk took the order and left.
The lamp-burning Buddha sat there, lost in thought.
…
Kirin Chamber of Commerce.
"The ruins of the Sanqing Taoist court?"
When he heard the news, Su Yi instantly realized that the person who killed the blood-clothed corpse this time was most likely someone from the Sanqing Taoist Court!
"Resurrection? Or maybe the forces behind the Sanqing Taoist Court sent people here?"
Su Yi thought about it for a while and decided to go for a walk.
…
Sanqing Taoist ruins.
In the shattered and withered heaven and earth, there were ruins and rubble everywhere.
The dusk is pale.
Deep in the ruins, a man in purple clothes and a golden crown sat on the ground and said, "I have a hunch that Su Yi will come to rescue you soon."
Opposite them, three figures were also sitting on the ground, but they were suppressed and imprisoned there, unable to move.
These three people are clearly Mu Bai, Ji Heng, and Jian Dushan!
"If you are brave, why don't you dare to confront Senior Su face to face?"
Mu Bai's eyes were stubborn, staring at the man in purple clothes and golden crown, with disdain between his brows.
The man in purple clothes and golden crown smiled and wrote lightly: "I am not afraid, but I want him to experience the pain of losing relatives and friends."
"ridiculous."
Mu Bai said coldly, "Who in the world doesn't know that even though the Sanqing Taoist Court was destroyed, Senior Su didn't kill them all? This is the true demeanor of a master."
"As for you, you may be very powerful, but your behavior is despicable and narrow-minded. You are a complete villain!"
A word of caution.
At the left ear of the man in purple clothes and gold crown, a small red snake as thick as a chopstick suddenly raised its head, and a hint of violence appeared in the depths of his green eyes.
However, before the little red snake could make any move, the man in purple clothes and golden crown raised his fingertips and gently pressed his head.
"Whether you are a villain or an adult, I have been practicing the Tao all my life and never care about these judgments."
The man in purple clothes and golden crown looked towards the sky in the distance and said as if to himself, "Whatever is good and evil, what is black and white, what is despicable and noble, if it is beneficial to my road, then take it, if it is not beneficial, then discard it."
"This is cultivation."
"What you call sarcasm, criticism, and shamelessness are based on looking at the problem from your perspective."
"If you stand from my perspective, your words have no merit at all. On the contrary, they seem very...childish."
Saying that, the man in purple clothes and golden crown shook his head.
He took out a guqin, placed it across his knees, pressed his fingers on the strings, but did not play, but fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Mu Bai, Ji Heng, and Jian Dushan looked at each other with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Not long ago, when they were traveling around the world, they met this mysterious man in purple clothes and a golden crown.
After just one encounter, they were suppressed and had no power to resist.
Until now, they still don't know the origin of this man in purple clothes and golden crown, and how advanced his cultivation level is.
"Next, I will ask each of you a question. If your answer satisfies me, I will not kill you for the time being."
Suddenly, the man in purple clothes and golden crown said, "On the contrary, if you cannot satisfy me, you will die."
Suddenly, the expressions of the three people suddenly changed.
"If you want to kill, just kill, why bother?"
Ji Heng frowned and became angry.
The man in purple clothes and golden crown gently strokes the strings.
clang!
The sound of the piano is like breaking through gold and cracking stone, stirring in the twilight ruins.
Suddenly, the six senses of Ji Heng and Jian Dushan were blocked. Their eyes could not see, their mouths could not speak, their ears could not hear, their mouths could not speak, their bodies could not move, and their souls could not feel.
Only Mubai was not affected.
The man in purple clothes and golden crown said: "On the sea, a ship is about to capsize. Now you only need to throw one person into the sea, and the others on the ship will be rescued."
"If you don't do this, everyone on the ship will die. In this situation, what choice would you make?"
Mu Bai was startled.
The man in purple clothes and golden crown said: "Just give your choice."
Mu Bai was silent.
When it comes to this question, one usually chooses to kill one person and save everyone.
But is this really the right thing to do?
But if you don't do this, everyone will die!
Time passed by, and Mu Bai remained silent.
The man in purple clothes and golden crown was very patient and waited quietly.
Finally, Mubai took a deep breath and said: "I will abandon the ship myself to let the others on the ship survive."
The man in purple clothes and golden crown laughed out loud, "Killing oneself to achieve justice? Ridiculous!"
Mubai's eyes were firm and he said: "Maybe it's ridiculous, but this is my choice. If you give me another chance, I will still choose this way!"
The man in purple clothes and golden crown suppressed his smile and said, "I am very dissatisfied with this answer."
Mu Bai's heart sank, was he going to be killed?
However, he was not afraid.
When he met Su Yi for the first time, he won Su Yi's admiration with his character that was fearless of life and death and his persistence in right and wrong.
But now, he has not changed.
Even if he knew he would die, he was not afraid!
"However, your attitude made me change some of my views."
The man in purple clothes and golden crown had deep eyes and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether you choose to kill one person to protect all sentient beings, choose to live and die with all sentient beings, or sacrifice yourself to help all sentient beings like you do.
.”
In short, three options.
One, kill one person to protect all sentient beings.
Second, we live and die together with all living beings.
Third, sacrifice yourself and commit suicide for charity.
These are the three choices given in the question of the man in purple clothes and gold crown.
Mu Bai was startled, "Then what's important?"
"Mood, courage, attitude."
The man in purple clothes and golden robe looked at Mu Bai, "To practice Taoism, you should be paranoid, insist on your own way, stick to your own heart, and have the obsession to break through the south wall. No matter whether the choice you make is good or bad, you can't go against yourself in order to survive.
.”
After a pause, he said: "You did a very good job in this regard, which exceeded my expectations."
Mu Bai remained silent.
Being praised by an enemy is not a happy thing at all.
He doesn’t need such recognition and praise!
"You passed."
The man in purple clothes and gold robe looked at Mu Bai deeply and said, "In the future, if there is a chance, I wouldn't even mind taking you to practice on the River of Destiny."
The little red snake was obviously surprised. It glanced at Mu Bai a little longer, as if he didn't understand how such a young man, who had not yet become a god, deserved such attention.
The man in purple and gold robes did not explain.
As soon as he strummed the strings, Mubai's six senses were obscured.
Ji Heng recovered his six senses.
When he saw that Mu Bai was safe and sound, Ji Heng couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this little guy is fine, it doesn't matter if he and Jian Dushan are killed.
"I can see that you are not afraid of death."
The man in purple robe and golden crown looked at Ji Heng.
Ji Heng sneered in response and didn't even bother to respond.
The man in purple robe and golden crown said calmly: "Do you think it is good or bad to live forever? You only need to make a choice."
Ji Heng said expressionlessly: "Depending on my mood, I'm in a bad mood right now. This bullshit eternal life is nothing at all. Why should I care if it's good or bad?"
The man in purple robe and golden crown frowned slightly, "If you don't answer honestly, I will kill him first."
As he spoke, he pointed at Jian Dushan.
Suddenly, Ji Heng's face darkened.
"Think about it carefully and tell me the answer."
The man in purple robe and golden crown lowered his eyes and looked at the guqin lying on his knees, remaining silent. Ji Heng also fell silent.
