Chapter 107: The Hypocritical Smile
The gazes of the two saints fixed on Wei Ze. He bowed his head and remained silent for a while.
There are evil cultivators in the academy? Or is it close to collapse?
In this case, why didn't the wall-carving ghosts who had a lot of people's hearts smell anything unusual at the beginning? And for such a long time, no one has noticed?
After all, what happened to the evil faction? Are there really any other cultivation methods other than Kunlun University now? How did Jiang Ling find them? Now that you have this exercise, why did you find Kunlun University alone?
All kinds of questions came to his mind, he looked at the girl in front of him, thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, don't kill her yet."
The two saints were stunned, and Shangguan Yuning immediately said: "My lord, don't be soft-hearted about this matter. You have just seen that a person with a demon seed has a heavy heart demon karma and may go mad at any time. Leave her here. It’s tantamount to putting other people beside the monsters all the time!”
"You misunderstood, I didn't intend to let her go just like that. But now, since a cultivator like her has appeared, it proves that besides us, there may be other forces of cultivators in this world. I There is a need to understand the status quo of these forces, and that requires her to speak up."
Wei Ze said, pointing to the formation on one side, "I will allocate more spiritual power to you later, and set up a restraint formation in this book pavilion to seal all her spiritual power and imprison her in the Here—it shouldn’t be difficult for you. After that, Teacher Shangguan will go to settle the other students down first. After she wakes up, I’ll come and ask questions in person.”
Yan Ruyu and Shangguan Yuning glanced at each other, but in the end they still obeyed, bent down and began to construct a mind spell next to Jiang Ling. During this gap, Wei Ze stood up and walked out of the bookstore, went straight to the school gate, knocked on the wall and called out the door god, the wall carving ghost.
"You have a contract with Kunlun University, so you should know the situation in the school." Wei Ze briefly explained what happened just now, and stared at the ghost face with a sullen face, "As for the student Jiang Ling, why did you let her into the school? No Can you tell your mind? Why would you let someone from the devil way?"
The ghost carved on the wall was silent for a long time, as if it had really turned into a stone sculpture. After a long time, it opened its mouth again, speaking dully.
"The door god's duty is to avoid the wicked and let the good one go." It said every word, "From what I've seen, Jiang Ling's heart is not evil."
"Is it evil?" Wei Ze frowned, "A person who has entered the way of demons and has cultivated such a demon, can he be right or wrong?"
"People of the devil way, there are prodigal sons who turn back; people of the right gate also have hypocrisy and affectation." The ghost on the wall said, "The gate god only looks at the heart and nature, and does not ask the source. Those who have not paid for their evil deeds are not allowed to enter, regardless of their origin; On the contrary, all will be released. This is the contract of Kunlun, not to judge a hero by his birth."
Wei Ze frowned when he heard this, and felt that there were many contradictions in these words, but he couldn't find anything out if he asked again, so he could only let the door god leave first, and stand where he was thinking.
This door god only looks at the heart and does not ask about the origin, even if it is a well-known and righteous person, evil thoughts in his heart will be blocked by him. But Jiang Ling, who had practiced magic arts, passed the entrance test?
He pondered for a moment, then called softly: "Wuxin."
"My lord, I am here."
"You should have heard what I said just now." Listening to the voice in his ear, he said in a deep voice, "Can't you hear the student's heartbeat? Why didn't you hear the student Jiang Ling?"
Wu Xin was silent for a moment: "As a student of Kunlun, if she has any strange intentions or evil thoughts, then I must be able to hear them. In the current situation, I can only think that the evil thoughts do not come from her original heart...at least not belong to the current one. She, the demon seed feeds on the evil thoughts in the cultivator's heart, which is closer to... another self than the heart sound."
"Another self?" Wei Ze was taken aback.
"It is true that there is such a skill. The heart demon refined by a special evil method,
It is no longer a simple karma, but has become a part of the strength of the cultivator-if you can't break through by yourself, then give your body to the demon, so that it will be easier to break through. "
Wuxin said: "However, most of those who practice this method are willing to be assimilated by the demons of their hearts, and eventually become madmen who only know how to kill. Keeping a clear mind like her, that is to use one's own spiritual consciousness to forcibly Suppressing the hostility of the demon seed is tantamount to living in purgatory."
"Not only that. If a person like her wants to stay awake, then she must not be sad, angry, or melancholy... Otherwise, these negative emotions will nourish the demon seeds in her body and make her be swallowed by the demons. In my opinion, Now that demon is her real emotion, and her appearance is nothing but a walking corpse that only laughs."
Wei Ze fell silent, called Wuxin away, turned around and ran quickly to the office building, came to the Tianji mirror in his room, and sacrificed the [Jade of Time], the emerald green light connected to the mirror.
At the same time, he quickly flipped through the student files in his mind, found Jiang Ling's file, and called it out.
"Show me this student's past."
Lake-like ripples appeared on the Tianji mirror, and a phantom-like picture floated up.
Black iron fences, blood-stinging spells, screams like Devil May Cry... Countless clips flowed, and Wei Ze's eyes gradually became awe-inspiring. Drizzling and somewhat blurry.
The clearest picture is a dark night, the sky is lightning and thunder, and the torrential rain washes the earth. At the exit of an unoccupied highway, a boy carried a girl on his back and stepped through a muddy puddle. Lightning illuminated his face, and there was a confident, brilliant, heartless smile on that face.
"We will seek the real immortal way. In this world, there must be a real fairy gate." He said to the girl behind him, "Before that, no matter what you encounter, you must face it with a smile."
"Because we... will always be happy."
...
...
As the screen flashed by, Wei Ze felt goosebumps on his back.
What is this? What are these lines? Isn't it embarrassing to say it?
But he couldn't laugh. In his eyes, the smile of the boy he saw in the mirror overlapped with Jiang Ling's face.
Her smile was just an imitation of another person.
Wei Ze turned off the Tianji mirror, and stared at the sky for a while in a daze. It was getting late, and Jiang Ling was about to wake up after calculating the time, so he walked down the office building, ready to go back to the bookstore.
But just as he walked down the stairs, he saw a figure standing at the door, waiting for him silently.
Yuan Qingqing.
As the cold wind blew, Wei Ze and the girl in front of him looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
Obviously she already knew something in advance, stood there for a full minute of consideration, and then asked cautiously: "Ms. Wei, Jiang Ling, did she...have an accident while getting rid of her demons?"
Wei Ze was also silent. After a long time, he sighed in reply.
Yuan Qingqing secretly grasped the skirt of her clothes: "Then... what will happen to her?"
Although her own tribulation was very smooth, as a cultivator, Jiang Ling did not return to the dormitory after the tribulation, she always understood something.
"Jiang Ling's inner demon is not an ordinary inner demon. Now we have temporarily suppressed her situation, but there will be danger at any time." Wei Ze said, "Although she has escaped from the demon prison, this inner demon has been stimulated. Under normal conditions, she will continue to erode her primordial spirit. When she can't keep her own consciousness, it's time to go crazy."
As expected, Yuan Qingqing's pupils shrank suddenly after hearing this. She stood up as hard as she could, speaking as if she had used all her strength: "Then how can I save her? Can I help?"
"The catastrophe of the heart demon is one's own heart. Except for herself, no one can cause harm to the heart demon."
Wei Ze shook his head: "I know you are friends. But you have to understand that a person who has lost his temper will become a scourge in this world. At that time, if you save one of her, you will harm more people—such a situation Next, do you still want to stand by her side?"
