After Ling Miao Gong finished speaking, he looked at the young man's appearance that seemed to change slightly in an instant, and felt the turbulence in his heart. Even though the old man had rich experience, he couldn't help but secretly sighed and said doom in his heart. Then he picked up the brass braided teapot that was fashionable in the world a thousand years ago, poured a cup of tea for Qi WuHuo, and said slowly:
"Don't be hasty, don't be difficult."
"Does the boy know how to behave?"
Qi WuHuo replied quietly:
"If you are a common man, you should repay kindness and revenge if you have the kindness to live."
"Don't be afraid of the world's rebuke."
Ling Miao Gong asked gently, "Then what should the Daoist priest do?"
Qi WuHuo said, "Draw the sword for the living beings."
"The demonic energy escapes, and it is difficult to calm down the resentment. First, a disease spreads among the people of Zhongzhou, and then there are demonic obstacles that lead to demons and cause trouble to the whole place."
"It is time to quell diseases and epidemics, slay demons, and kill evildoers."
Ling Miao Gong sighed. The old Mountain God looked like his elders asked him, with a gentle and compassionate expression. He sat in the position of his former teacher and asked the young man in front of him, just like he asked himself thousands of years ago, and said:
"Then what should the judge do?"
Young Daoist was quiet for a long time and replied, "Follow the law and respect it."
"To be punished."
Ling Miao Gong didn't say anything. When the tea became cold, he smiled and said quietly, "I have seen many young people like you, but after all, they are still not moral enough. You must know that everything is considered. When you make a decision at the beginning, it is not difficult. Both reason and human feelings will remind you how to do it."
"They will tell you what is right."
"You know what to do yourself."
"But it is one thing to know, but to do it when the time comes."
"Can we really do it?"
"This is the second ordeal."
"So the reason why [extermination of relatives] is [righteous] is because it is difficult to do it. There is [hidden] in the laws of the world. A father concealing his son's sin will not arrest the father and put him in jail because although the law is strict, it will also take into account the existence of human feelings."
"And, in the end, no matter whether you take action or not, the impact of this incident will continue to haunt you. When you dream back at midnight, you will think of the decision you made at this moment, and ask yourself whether you are worthy of the world and your benefactor, or whether you are worthy of the world and the benefactor in order to repay your kindness."
"You don't hesitate during the day, but every time you wake up quietly at night, these things will still surface."
"I will ask myself if I am ruthless, if I have done something wrong, once, twice, three times, one thing, two things, three things. These things appear in a surge, and eventually become entangled in my Tao heart. Only then can I be qualified to be called a [tribulation] of Daoism. Some practitioners call the relationship between a man and a woman a tribulation. How small it is."
"Daoists can know that the emotional calamity is for all living beings and oneself."
"It is the conflict between the great love for all living beings and the kindness of oneself."
"This is how it goes deep into your bones and makes you toss and turn, unable to let go. It's not possible to have both. That's why Daoism sighs and Buddhism closes its eyes. It's called the Five Difficulties Eight Sufferings."
Ling Miao Gong said, "You don't have to make such a choice. If the culprit in this matter is really the culprit, then North Pole Exorcism Institute's higher-level existence may eventually need to come forward. It cannot be saved by you alone, nor can it be killed by you alone. However, since you are the envoy of Five Thunder Judge and you are in Zhongzhou, you should write an edict and express your judgment."
"And when the time comes, it will most likely be you who draws the sword."
Young Daoist When he put down the tea cup, he realized that his Daoist mind remained as before, but his body was unconsciously tightening and exerting force. When he put down the tea cup, he made a loud sound and movement. He cupped his hands slightly and said:
"Been taught a lesson."
"Where is Old Mr. Ao Liu?"
Ling Miao Gong hesitated and replied, "He? He went to send a niece to the Demon Kingdom."
"There are three branches of the dragon clan, one of which is active in the Demon Realm. This niece of Ao Liu is going to travel to Demon Race."
"Old guy, go see her off."
Young Daoist finished the cup of tea, and then mentioned that Little Peacock, who was still eating old Mountain God's snacks, which even among the immortals are considered to be the favorite snacks of the older generation, said goodbye and left. When he picked up the sword, the sword screamed in the sword case, and young Daoist's expression was still calm.
Ling Miao Gong But he could see that the eyes of this Daoist disciple were like clouds in the sky. After all, his Daoist heart was shaken.
Don't shake your heart.
It cannot be called a calamity.
What can be easily overcome is not worthy of being called a disaster.
When Qi WuHuo left, there was Mountain God on the side who thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, raised his hands and asked, "Ling Miao Gong, which one is right and which one is wrong, to kill or to save? I know the righteousness, but you can't not repay the favor of living."
Old Mountain God replied, "Right? Wrong?"
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Ling Miao Gong sighed and said, "Under the great road, there is no right or wrong, only choices."
"It doesn't mean that once you make a choice, everything will be over."
"After one choice, there will be another choice. The road is like running water, and all living beings are like rocks. Falling into the water, they are impacted by the undercurrents going up and down, so everyone changes and gains. Some people fall with the trend, and some are shattered. But no matter what, you can't say this is wrong and that is right."
"It's just a choice."
"Of course, after making a choice, you must bear the consequences."
"Choose the path, accept the consequences, come and go with the sword, and keep my heart unchanged, this is the true path."
Ju Yun Ling Miao Gong stood up, sighed, and said, "Didn't you and I arrive here just because of conscious or unconscious choices, and we will inevitably continue to move forward? Is it really right or wrong to look back now?"
The Mountain God pondered for a long time and asked again, "Then... this Daoist priest had previously cut off Earth God's mixed incense."
"Why don't you bring this matter up and ask him for help with another sword strike?"
Ling Miao Gong shook his head and said, "He just came here and entrusted you and me to just keep an eye on the demonic energy. Now he is making a request. It smells of coercion. This is not good. Besides, it was him who absorbed the incense indiscriminately, which led to the collapse of his life span. It is already a great thing to extend his life by three months."
"Even if this Judge Qi is unwilling to help, it is a matter of course."
"I can't complain."
Mountain God was obedient for a long time and then stepped back, just out of curiosity.
If this is the case, then why was Ling Miao Gong so earnestly looking for this young Daoist?
Could it be that there are other reasons?
When everyone left, Ling Miao Gong's official residence had become empty. Mountain God got up and put on his armor, picked up a sword, and then asked, "You should have heard it just now, right, Ao Liu? How do you feel?"
What kind of person is Ling Miao Gong? When he knew about the emergence of evil spirits, epidemics, and miasmas, he had already concluded that there must be a problem with the Jing River Dragon King precipitation. After inviting Qi WuHuo After came back, when he went to get the tea set, he had already sent a message to Ao Liu to ask him to come over. Ao Liu is the master of thousands of miles of water. He has opened a water house and is extremely powerful. He came here silently.
Ling Miao Gong saw Old Dragon King standing there quietly.
Seeing Old Dragon King's calm expression, majestic face, and a pair of dark golden eyes showing sharpness at this moment, one side of the cheek still has the scars left by the backlash when it rained in Jinzhou a few years ago, adding to the ferociousness, Ling Miao Gong and Ao Liu have known each other for thousands of years and know each other's methods. The knife in the old Mountain God's palm whistled slightly and said slowly, "Ao Liu..."
"When did you know about your son's rain problem?"
Old Dragon King said, "Half a month ago, the rain dispersed the epidemic."
Ling Miao Gong suddenly said, "That's why it often rains these days because you are completely eliminating the remnants of the epidemic..."
The two were quiet for a long time, and Ling Miao Gong finally couldn't help it, and said, "Although you are responsible for Jing River Dragon King's responsibility, it is your son who has been causing trouble in the past few years. These things are well-documented and reported to the Penglai Department. They will know after just one investigation. Although you are guilty by then, it is just a crime of dereliction of duty due to [inadequate supervision]."
"The punishment will be heavy, but at least you can save your life."
Old Dragon King looked at him, smiled, and asked, "Are you going to let a father watch his son die?"
Ling Miao Gong's voice paused.
This matter must lead to death.
Or Ao Liu may be beheaded because of his ineffective supervision and his arbitrary delegation of power without supervision, which may lead to great disaster.
The 3,600-year-old situation has been broken, the demonic energy is flowing Mortal World, and there must be big changes.
Or behead his son, because it was his Dragon Prince who did it, and Ao Liu was only deceived and defaulted on his responsibility.
Ao Liu said, "It's because I didn't supervise well, and it's also because I never visited the friends my son made. I never thought that he was actually bewitched by others, and he had a chance to survive. If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault, and it's natural for him to be punished on his behalf. As for my son, maybe he can go to Suolongjing and live his life."
Ling Miao Gong looked at the hideous injury on his old friend's forehead with a complicated expression and sighed:
"Back then, if you hadn't forced yourself to go to Jinzhou to rain, and you were hit by that blazing Killing Intent, causing the blazing fire poison to linger in your internal organs. With your way of doing things, why would you have hurriedly handed over your position to your son? How could such a thing have happened?"
"If you hadn't needed to retreat to get rid of the fire poison, you would have noticed when he was doing something."
Ao Liu didn't answer, just smiled and said, "What happened back then is in the past."
Ling Miao Gong said, "That child survived the incident in Jinzhou, right?"
Ao Liu said, "Yes."
The dragon is an object that was recently born in the innate world. It is natural to have a photographic memory.
He still remembered that day when he was walking through Jinzhou and saw a young child lying there. When the rain started to fall, the child opened his eyes and they met again at a teahouse in Zhongzhou. He held a child in his arms and lowered his head to see young Daoist walking through the world of mortals. He then realized that Mortal World was so wonderful that it was hard to describe.
Ling Miao Gong hesitated for a moment and said, "That child... is now North Pole Exorcism Institute Five Thunder Judge."
"You..."
Ao Liu smiled and replied:
"I'm waiting for him to kill me."
Ling Miao Gong looked faintly sad.
He had countless things to say.
But in the end, he didn't say it, but what a stupid thing Ao Liu was doing now, even giving up his life to save that hopeless fool. He had countless reasons to persuade Ao Liu, but from Ao Liu's point of view, he could explain it clearly with the words "father and son".
The old Dragon King picked up the wine, toasted his old friend, and said:
"Whether you are a human or a dragon, you will eventually die."
"The immortal officials in the heaven are busy all day long, and what they do is nothing but the Longevity Elixir medicine in the heaven; the Yin gods are running around, and what they long for is nothing more than the Yin virtue Yin Longevity, in order to seek rebirth."
"However, my death can let my son know what his responsibility is, let him know that whatever he does, he has to pay a price, and this price includes me. The greater the power, the broader the implication, the greater the price. Let him understand this through my death, and I can bring him back to the right path."
"If he was still stubborn at that time, he would be hopeless."
After finishing the first glass of wine, he poured the second glass of wine and said:
"You can give the child Wu Huo a sword to cut off cause and effect and grudges. I saved him, and he killed me for the sake of righteousness. Only in this way can he shape his Daoist heart, understand his path, and know his determination. If he kills my son, he will no longer have such fluctuations in his mood. If he kills me, he will know that his future is boundless."
"In this way, there will be one more upright judge between heaven and earth, who can sweep away all evil with thunder."
He drank the second glass of wine, but drank half of the third glass of wine, and the remaining half only spilled on the floor.
"Third, use my flesh and blood to repay the grievances of Zhongzhou."
"There is no regret in this case."
Finished three glasses of wine.
The old Dragon King stood up. "Everyone wants to live, I want to die."
"With my life, I will save my son from going astray, mold the young man's Daoist heart, and give all living beings a rain of dragon's blood."
"My friend, do you think it's okay to die like this?"
He smiled and said, "But you still have to give me seven days."
Ling Miao Gong said, "What are you going to do?"
Ao Liu said, "Go and do something I have to do. As you said, just follow the original agreement to send my niece to a safe place, and then settle some things. I know you are holding the knife because you are worried about my escape. Don't worry, in this Ling Miao Mountain, I am not your opponent. If you take action, I will be taken down, but I still hope you can believe me."
"You let me go now."
"I won't run away."
"After seven days, Ao Liu will come back naturally and die and be punished."
Mountain God Ling Miao Gong After a long time, he slowly put away the knife.
Dragon King Ao Liu laughed loudly, cupped his hands slightly, drank all the wine, and drank up the thousand-year grievances. He also said that he would take care of his friends, said goodbye, and turned to leave. Ling Miao Gong couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Ao Liu, seven years ago, you rescued people in the rain in Jinzhou, and suffered the bitter consequences now. Do you ever regret it?"
The Dragon King didn't answer, he just laughed a few times and waved his sleeves and robe casually. His back was free and easy. Although his hair was gray and his face was ferocious, he still had the same demeanor that made the Zhongzhou chessmen fall in love with him back then.
The Spirit Transformation dragon has left.
