Chapter 294: Distinguishing Between Evil and Demon

Luwu Mountain, the mountain wind is howling.

Different from the wild old forest that Lu Heng imagined, Luwu Mountain is a barren and bare mountain range with not much vegetation on it.

It is as barren as the sand hills and mounds with severe soil erosion on the Loess Plateau.

A quiet river flows out of the mountains and merges into the Pangjiang River not far away.

Shen Wuyou said that this small river is called Zegenzhi Water. The water is clear, and there are many strange fish with four legs in it, and the meat is delicious.

When we got here, we were not far from the East China Sea, but we still couldn't see the entrance of the Pang River.

When it fell from the sky, even with Shen Wuyou's confirmation, Lu Heng was still full of shock at this place.

"You, mother and son, are living in seclusion here?"

Lu Heng looked at the bare and barren mountains in front of him, somewhat incomprehensible.

This world has a vast territory. In the wilderness, there are countless mountains, rivers and rivers with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.

Not to mention the distant ones, just say that around Luwu Mountain, there are beautiful mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery.

But why did the mother and son choose such a bare barren mountain instead of going somewhere else?

Lu Heng asked in confusion: "Does your mother have abnormal aesthetics? This mountain is so ugly. Are there places nearby that are more suitable for seclusion than here?"

In response, the little boy sighed, obviously not liking this bare barren mountain either.

He said: "Returning to my father, Wuyou thought the same thing. But my mother likes this place very much. She said that it is so deserted and no one would think that we live in seclusion in such a barren mountain, so it is absolutely safe to live in seclusion here."

"..." This reason left Lu Heng quite speechless.

Xiao Ai asked in confusion: "Absolutely safe? Are there still people chasing you?"

Xiao Ai's question made the little boy's face froze slightly, and he once again thought of the problems he encountered in the illusion.

Why is the father so good, and the mother still takes them to escape...

Seeing the little boy's hesitation, Lu Heng understood.

"Your mother is hiding from your father, right?"

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, when we were in Shuifu before, you wanted to ask me a question, but you were interrupted... Now that this matter has been mentioned, let's have a good chat. "

"Wouyou, do you have any questions to ask me?"

Lu Heng's friendly smiling expression inspired the troubled little boy to take courage again.

He said: "Dad, I want to know why you are so good, but your mother keeps avoiding you... Did something happen between you two?"

After the little boy finished speaking, he looked at Lu Heng anxiously and expectantly, wanting to get an answer.

It's a pity that Lu Heng shook his head and said, "To be honest, I can't answer this question for you. Maybe only your mother can answer it..."

After all, I'm not your real father.

Seeing the little boy's disappointed expression, Lu Heng asked again, "Do you have any other questions?"

The little boy took a breath, thought for a long time this time, and then whispered hesitantly.

"Dad, the Goddess of the Pangjiang River, Lady Gu Zhou, is a great demon who kills people and wreaks havoc, right?"

Lu Heng nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, three hundred years ago, Empress Jiang Shen was indeed a great demon who dominated the area and killed many people. Even the Gu carvings in the Pang River were killed by her. To exterminate the entire clan is cruel and ruthless.”

Lu Heng's unabashed narration made the little boy's eyes tremble.

But having spoken to this extent, it was impossible for him to back down.

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said: "Dad, you once said that we should not have any mercy when facing evil spirits... But this Jiang Shen Gu Zhou has committed many crimes, but dad you ...but you..."

The little boy had a hurt expression on his face, as if his ideal had collapsed, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

What happened next was too painful to speak out.

Lu Heng looked at his appearance in surprise. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, his weight in this little guy's heart would be so heavy.

Lu Heng said after pondering for a moment.

"Indeed, in the face of evil spirits, we must eliminate evil and do our best, and we should not feel pity... But although Empress Jiang Shen once killed many people, she is not an evil spirit. She has not killed people to practice magic, and she has never practiced magic. Why? Can it be considered a demon?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "Just because she killed a lot of people, she can't be classified as a demon, right?"

Lu Heng's question made the little boy slightly shocked.

"Having killed so many people, it's not considered an evil spirit?"

This question made Lu Heng smile helplessly.

Shaking his head, Lu Heng said: "It seems that Wuyou still doesn't understand what evil spirits are... evil devils practice evil ways and evil arts, kill people and practice magic, and trample on living beings and human beings."

"Such evil spirits do not follow the right path and cannot be tolerated in the world. They are monsters and monsters outside the Five Elements."

"Indeed, evil demons must kill people like crazy. Because people who have opened up their spiritual intelligence are living creatures and eating blood is the key to their practice. The more powerful the evil demon is, the more creatures it will kill."

"But evil spirits kill people like crazy, but those who kill like crazy are not necessarily evil spirits..."

Seeing the little boy's confused expression, Lu Heng smiled and continued to explain.

"Let's not mention the ancient Zhou Empress. Let's take a human country as an example. To the north of the Huotong Kingdom, there is a Bear Country. It has a strong national power and strong folk customs. The whole country is full of martial virtues. It is at war with the Qingqiu Kingdom further north. "

"It is said that the two countries have been at war for decades, and the number of soldiers killed in the war is no less than half a million... Then do you think the leaders of the two countries, who have suffered so many casualties due to the war, are evil spirits?"

Lu Heng's question made the little boy shake his head.

"They are the masters of a country, so they must be upright and upright, they cannot be evil spirits."

Lu Heng smiled and nodded, saying: "It is true, the monarchs of these two countries are not evil spirits. But over the years, no less than half a million soldiers have died because of them... So many casualties, it is said that these two It’s not an exaggeration to say that the king of the country killed him single-handedly, right?”

"Then why are the two monarchs who killed so many people not evil?"

The little boy had a middle-aged expression as he suddenly realized. Lu Heng said with a smile: "Yes, that's because they are not demonic monks, and they are not cultivating demonic skills. The reason why they [killed] so many people is not to practice blood-eating. Naturally, they are not like evil spirits.”

"The same goes for Empress Zhou in ancient times. Three hundred years ago, the battle between the Pangjiang Shui Tribe she commanded and the Huotong Kingdom was similar to the national war between the two countries."

"From a human perspective, the ancient Zhou Dynasty was a murderous executioner. But from the perspective of the Pangjiang Shui Tribe at that time, how could the wizards of the Huotong Kingdom be good people?"

"Even if the scope is a bit wider, every time Wuyou eats meat, it comes from living animals. You have eaten so many living animals, and you have killed many living beings... So are you an evil spirit?"
