Chapter 246 Choice and Morality
Hongjun ignored Qi and just continued to speak:
"If the poor Taoist has never been in harmony with the Tao, it is not inappropriate to respond to the words of fellow Taoists. It's just that the current situation has not come and it is a coincidence that the poor Taoist cannot respond now."
"The matters in Heaven are too huge, and are related to all beings in the world. The cause and effect is enough to affect the status of Heavenly Saints and the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."
"In this case, the difference between the cause and effect of the two is naturally different, and the original cause and effect is not enough to replace it."
"However, poor Taoists are not ignorant people. Taoist friends can choose from the following options to compensate for cause and effect."
Praying to see the facts is impossible, and we can only respond as follows:
"Please also ask Taoist ancestors for words."
Hongjun nodded upon seeing this, and after thinking carefully, he said:
"First, cause and effect are interchangeable. At the request of the poor Taoist, Taoist friends had to suffer tribulations, and they had to pay for it with their lives. Although there are ways to deal with the tribulation, it was still Taoist friends' means."
"One life for another. Fellow Taoist can choose one of the four, and the poor Taoist can ensure that he survives this calamity safely. He may be injured, but he will eventually return."
"Besides this, the poor Taoist can extend this Hongmeng Purple Qi for another two Yuan Hui, allowing fellow Taoists to understand it and make up for it. Cause and effect will be clear to you and me."
"As for the other choice, it is still the same as before. This Hongmeng Purple Qi belongs to fellow Taoists, and regarding the saint status, it is enough to offset the cause and effect between you and me."
"As for the third option, if fellow Taoist chooses it, I think I should discuss it with him."
Qi was slightly stunned when he heard the words. He didn't know why, but he still said:
"Dao Ancestor, let's just say it bluntly. If Qi seriously chooses, I will make it clear to them."
Seeing this, Hongjun smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoists can dissolve Heavenly Court, or pass it on to others. The cause and effect accumulated by Heavenly Court before has been eliminated by Pindao personally for fellow Taoists."
Qi was horrified when he heard this, and began to constantly think about why Hongjun said this, and whether it was related to the previous fairy court.
If Hongjun really comes to help, how should Heaven respond? After all, the distance between the two is too close, and since Qi is in a high position, he has to be suspicious.
But before Qi could continue to guess, Hongjun rejected Qi's idea. Hongjun explained:
"What Pindao said has nothing to do with Immortal Court. Although Pindao knew about Mu Gong's affairs early on, he was not optimistic about its development. The reason why he supported it was because it was beneficial to the development of Immortal Way."
"Success or failure, Pindao doesn't care."
Hongjun thought for a while and added:
"Furthermore, the Immortal Way is not very suitable for using itself as the foundation to create a general trend and adding authority. It is not beneficial to the cultivation of the Immortal Way."
Only then did Qi give up Hongjun's idea of supporting the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Court. He thought to himself and began to seriously weigh the pros and cons of each option.
Seeing that Qi was having trouble making a decision, Hongjun said:
"The relationship between you and me, although we have dirty plans, can still be called friendly. With my understanding of you, I might as well choose to go."
Qi is also the one who is most moved, because he knows that no one will give up on Heaven easily, not to mention them, even himself.
The establishment of Heavenly Palace was the result of everyone's hard work. How could we give up so easily despite the hard work of countless people?
As for the second item, Qi had never considered it. Faced with Hongjun’s advice, Qi could only smile bitterly and said:
"Since Dao Ancestor knows me, he should also understand where Qi is struggling. With four friends, who can give up easily?"
Seeing Qi's troubled look, Hongjun knew that the friendship between them was deep. After a slight hesitation, he said:
"Fuxi, Nuwa has her own destiny, Taoist friends, you don't have to care about her. Her destiny is richer than ordinary people think."
"Fellow Taoist, you might as well choose the person to protect you between Dijun Taiyi."
After hearing the words, Qi immediately raised his head and looked at Hongjun, but Hongjun just closed his eyes and said nothing. The purple light of the jade butterfly flashed, and several cracks suddenly popped open.
Seeing this, Qi immediately stood up and said thanks:
"Qi, thank you Daozu for reminding me! I will make up for the losses!"
Hongjun had no choice but to open his eyes. While refusing Qi's compensation, he asked Qi to sit down again and said:
"It's just a few cracks. Pindao has become accustomed to it over the years. If you really want to make up for it, you might as well send Luohu to chaos. Pindao can promise that his life will be safe."
Qi immediately understood this in his heart. Thinking that he had nothing to do every day in heaven, he hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Of course, according to what the Taoist ancestors said, it just so happened that Heavenly Court was planning to arrange for him to go to Chaos to find the four ferocious beasts and find out the mystery of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure."
Hongjun immediately raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"good."
Qi thought for a moment and thought about Taiyi's temperament and the fact that he was protected by the Chaos Bell, so he should be fine, so he said:
"Then there will be Lao Daozu. If the disaster really comes in the future, we will not be able to survive and we can save Emperor Jun's life."
Although Hongjun was a little surprised that he did not choose Taiyi, he still agreed directly. Anyway, it made no difference to him who saved his life.
Seeing Hongjun's agreement, Qiye left the Zixiao Palace with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but did not return to the primitive world. Instead, he continued to stay in the chaos.
Thousands of years later, I prayed for a willow leaf floating in my hand, frowning and saying:
"This is strange. I have been wandering in the chaos for a long time, but I still can't find the master of raising eyebrows, and I can't get a response to the messages I sent."
Qi is not worried about anything going wrong with the Yangmei Master. After all, with his level of cultivation, there is no place he cannot go.
"That's all, it's probably because the great god doesn't want to see me, or he's in seclusion and hasn't sensed me yet. He'll come back a few times later."
Qi planned to return to the prehistoric world. He had stayed in the chaos for quite a long time. The prehistoric world was undergoing unprecedented changes, so he could not disappear for too long.
At this time, Yang Mei was walking in the prehistoric world and had just arrived at Yunmengze. He did not come here to look for Qi.
Yang Mei walked in front, measuring the prehistoric world with his footsteps. There was also a person following closely behind him, wearing a black robe. If someone familiar saw him, they would find that he was Luo Hou.
"Brother Yang Mei, the scenery here is so beautiful, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
Luo Hou was in a somewhat embarrassed state at this time. There was no trace of Taoism around him, and he was no different from an ordinary person.
Yang Mei said indifferently:
"Your magic is quite interesting. I sealed your cultivation and divine power and body, and you can still have spare strength after walking thousands of miles with me every day."
Luo Hou just laughed and said:
"It's just a little trick, not as good as my brother, and it's just a little trick that is not worth seeing."
As Luo Hou spoke, he changed direction and rushed towards the dense reeds outside the swamp, not caring about the dangers that might be hidden there.
Yang Mei stopped and watched Luo Hou walk into it. In a moment, Luo Hou returned with a spirit snake that was no more than ten feet long in his hand.
The two sat on the ground, and Luo Hou twisted the snake's head off casually, aimed at the wound, and drank the snake blood that flowed out. Luo Hou's condition also recovered a lot.
After drinking the snake blood, the snake meat was not wasted. The snake skin and scales on the outside, the bones and internal organs inside were all torn and swallowed by Luo Hou.
Looking at such a bloody act, Yang Mei could see a sense of holiness in it, and did not feel its cruelty and evil.
After Luo Hou ate the whole snake corpse, Yang Mei sighed:
"Eating its spirit, blood and flesh, swallowing it into the stomach together with its essence, without any loss. I have seen it countless times along the way, but I am still shocked by it."
"If you still have a little bit of cultivation, this is just a small path that is not worth seeing, but you are no different from ordinary people now, and you can still have such means, which makes me admire you a little."
"Your means are skills in Taoism."
Facing Yang Mei's praise, Luo Hou smiled and said:
"Then how about Brother Dao enter my magic path? All the means will be passed on to Brother Dao."
"If Brother Dao is interested, Brother Dao can also sit on my position as the leader of the magic path."
Seeing this, Yang Mei just smiled slightly, without moving, and Luo Hou immediately fell to the ground, his body twitching constantly.
This lasted for almost an hour before the abnormality on Luohou's body stopped, and Luohou slowly stood up from the ground.
His muscles twitched from time to time, telling everyone what kind of inhuman torture he had suffered before.
Yang Mei saw that although Luohou was in pain, his calm eyes seemed to have no ripples, as if the person who fell to the ground just now was not him.
"Brother Dao, why are you angry? What Luohou said is true."
As he said this, Luohou also smiled, and the provocation behind his words was almost unconcealed.
Yangmei did not attack again, but said calmly:
"You are not afraid of death. Are you really not afraid that I will take your life to sacrifice to the Five Elements and the Universe?"
Luohu just smiled and said:
"Brother Dao, what do they have to do with me? There is no Demon Ancestor Luohu now."
"Now I am the star god of the heavenly court and the star master of Luohu. The heaven and earth have forgiven me for my innocence. As for the master of the demon path, he is the star life of Luohu. What does it have to do with me?"
Yangmei just turned around and continued to walk forward, without discussing Luohu's sophistry. Seeing this, Luohu just showed a weird smile and continued to follow Yangmei.
But every step he took, Luohu's trembling body showed that Yangmei's punishment was not so easy to get through.
Until the sun set and the sky was full of stars, Luohu saw Yangmei who had already lit a bonfire in front of him.
"Brother Dao is kind today. He is willing to light a bonfire for Luohou. If it weren't for you, I would have suffered tonight."
Facing Luohou's suicidal behavior, Yangmei just sneered:
"You don't have to say these words to anger me. It's a bit unmannerly."
Luohou was silent and stood in the dark for a long time. When he returned to the bonfire, Luohou sat cross-legged not far from Yangmei and began to enter a state of tranquility.
Yangmei saw this and knew that Luohou had successfully entered a state of tranquility with just one glance.
Although he could not practice and had suffered a long time of torture, this quiet skill was good.
Luohou never thought that one day he would be able to perceive the passage of time, walking in the wilderness, walking at sunrise and stopping at sunset.
Every day and night, Luohou could calm down, wake up from the state of tranquility when the sun rose, and enter a state of tranquility again after the sun set.
In the process of walking and entering into a state of tranquility, Luo Hou went back and forth, and suddenly felt that time became full, just like an ordinary person!
And all this fell into Yang Mei's eyes, watching Luo Hou becoming more and more like an ordinary practitioner every day, and his aura gradually became perfect.
Just at this moment, Yang Mei looked at Luo Hou in a state of tranquility, and thought secretly in his heart:
"I have forged a mortal heart for you. If you can break through it one day, the cause and effect between you and me will be completely eliminated."
"If you can't, there will be no innate sacred Luo Hou in the future, and sinking into the mortal world is also your retribution."
