Chapter 67 Chapter 66 I’m scared, but I want to say
"Fellow Taoist has already walked the path under his own feet, so there is no need for words to teach him."
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin slowly opened his eyes, still recalling the words he heard before in his mind.
"Is what I saw before my dream?"
Looking at the extremely rich innate spiritual energy in Mount Xumi, Jie Ying murmured in his heart.
The breeze is blowing in the willows, old men are fishing, the green mountains remain the same, and the pure water flows westward.
Everything is so real.
It's as real as this moment.
In this mountain peak, what seems to be full of vitality is actually filled with countless sufferings.
Because, in Jie Yin's eyes, the entire Mount Sumeru is filled with the cries of countless creatures in the western land.
"Although in that dream, my heart was no longer hesitant.
But where should my road, my junior brother’s road, the road to this broken western land be?”
Looking at Mount Sumeru in front of him and the cloudless blue sky, a trace of helplessness appeared in Jie Yin's eyes.
Although he now has the inspiration from the Western Land to make up for his previous losses, his world is no longer limited to Mount Sumeru in front of him.
"Jie Yin, my good apprentice, what are you thinking about?"
At this moment, an indifferent voice came from a high platform on Mount Sumeru.
Jie Yin glanced at Zhunti who was still absorbing the innate spiritual energy not far away and looked at Luo Hu without fear.
"Thinking about what I should think about, thinking about the way out for this western land, and also thinking about your way out, Lord Demon."
"Do you want to find a way out for me?"
Luo Hu chuckled and said coldly.
"You said that, aren't you afraid that I might kill you again with my backhand, and also kill the junior brother you have been protecting so far?"
"Afraid."
Jie Ying wanted to deny what he was thinking, but when he thought about the words of the unknown gentleman in the dream, after a short silence, he seemed to be answering Rahu, and also seemed to be asking himself.
"It's terrible, shouldn't we say it?"
"You shouldn't say it, because I don't like it."
Luo Hu's heart moved, but his eyes became colder and colder.
"Now, you are just a plaything in my hands. As a plaything, you should obey its master.
Because once the owner doesn't like it, it loses its value.
Just like now, I am thinking about whether to erase you."
"You can kill me, and I can die, but before I die, I will still speak.
Just as I have lost my value in your eyes, in my eyes, this is my value."
Feeling Luo Hu's breath that could annihilate him at any time roaring towards him at this moment, Jieyin still spoke firmly.
Even in the presence of Rahu's breath, the bamboo leaves that had turned green now turned yellow and gradually withered.
But at this moment when pain and death lingered on his body, the light in Jie Ying's eyes turned into calmness after repeated struggles.
When he was born, he stood in solid rock.
Since God made him a bamboo, he cannot bow his head under heavy pressure and sway in the wind like the grass beside the stone.
Moreover, even the green grass that seems to be under heavy pressure is still stubborn.
Otherwise, the rocks would not be surrounded by green.
It seems that the rock has crushed the grass, but it is not the grass that surrounds the rock. Just as he stands among the rocks, he also inherits the firmness of the rocks.
So, he wants to say.
Because this was his last stubbornness and his first stubbornness.
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
Hearing this, Luo Hu's eyes burst out with murderous intent.
"How joyful is life, how painful is death? Is the so-called life and death the moment you wiped me out?
No, it's not.
When I truly surrender to you and dare not speak out what is in my heart, that will be the time for me to die."
As he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Hu, who was sitting high on the stone platform.
"Devil Lord, have you ever been as scared as I am right now?"
"court death!"
As soon as he said these words, Jieyin felt his eyes go dark, and in the sudden shock of the sea of consciousness, he completely lost his perception of Mount Sumeru.
"What a welcome introduction."
Watching Jie Yin's consciousness fall into a deep sleep, a smile appeared on Luo Hu's cold face.
Yes, he was not angry.
All the murderous intentions and all the harsh words were just because he wanted to see how Jieyin would behave after he preached.
Now it seems that this performance makes him very satisfied.
This satisfaction is not an unyielding attitude.
It was Jie Yin who was so calm but still dared to speak.
It was an attempt to use his own fears to elicit what he feared in his heart.
"It's neither Tao nor demon. This change is more in line with Hongjun's infinite heart, just like the thoughts of the three pure things."
As this thought emerged, the hostility in Luo Hu began to dissipate.
From the perspective of Jie Yin and Zhunti, the reason why they spent so much time and effort to have the Naxi land's inspiration to complement them and force them to practice in a short period of time was because they encountered a huge enemy.
It was because I was worried that I would not be able to defeat the powerful enemy, so I needed them to be my helpers.
But in fact, they guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end.
Because the moment when he taught the way to practice Jieyin and Zhunti was also the process of integrating his understanding when discussing Taoism with Hongjun and competing with Sanqing.
Afraid!
He, Rahu, is indeed afraid of defeat again.
But just like what I just said, why don’t you just do it because you’re afraid?
"The real devil should originate from the heart, arise from thoughts, and be transcendent from heaven."
Looking at the blue sky, Luo Hu slowly closed his eyes while murmuring.
"Am I dead?"
He opened his eyes in confusion.
He thought he would see countless resentful spirits in the western land, but as the light in his eyes gradually emerged in his thoughts.
What he saw were green mountains and the wind flowing freely between heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Jie Yin seemed to understand something and quickly looked around.
"If fellow Taoist had died, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come here."
As these words came, Jieyin also found an old man fishing on the bank of the river under the shade of a willow tree.
"Just now, Mr. Unknown saved me?"
The guide skillfully led him from the vastness on the river to Lin Yi.
The path he took this time was different from the one he took the first time, so there was another path in his heart.
"No, I didn't save you, it was you who saved you."
Ji Yi shook his head, pointed to the stone bench beside him, and motioned for him to sit down.
"I saved me, why did you say this, sir?"
Recalling the cold gaze of the demon lord when he was at Mount Sumeru, he frowned and said.
"When you no longer dare to say what is in your heart and no longer dare to pursue your own values, you will really die."
Lin Yi put away the fishing rod, arranged it, threw the fishing line into the river again, and said with a smile.
"So, the Demon Lord didn't kill me."
Hearing this, Jieyin immediately understood and spoke in silence.
"You saved yourself."
Lin Yi shook his head.
"What's the use of saving myself? Even if I no longer feel hesitant and confused in my heart, how should I save my junior brother and the western land?"
Jie Yin smiled bitterly and looked at Lin Yi seekingly.
