"Whether or not the blood of original sin has affected my spirit and will is no longer important to me."
"Amitabha, has Layman Ancient accepted the karma?"
"Or else?"
"If Layman Ancient accepts the karma, it is the same as bowing to fate. I have always believed that Layman Ancient will never bow to fate."
"Dreams are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel. If I don't lower my head to fate, I will die. But I haven't lived long enough, so I don't want to die. I can only lower my head to fate, follow this predetermined karma, predetermined fate. I will cut down this Great Dao, destroy this Firmament, and destroy this Earth."
"Layman Ancient, if you really do this, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Gu Qingfeng's answer was cold and emotionless.
"Ancient catastrophe, the evolution of heaven and earth, the three cycles of reincarnation, the karma of the past and the present, whose fate depends on who …" The old monk murmured, "At that time, the black hole of karma will completely open, and the curse of karma will descend again. Everything in heaven and earth will be reincarnated again … The present ancient era will end, and a new era will begin. And this new era will fall into the black hole of karma, a cursed Daoless era. Man is not man, immortal is not immortal, Buddha is not Buddha, demon is not demon, heaven is not heaven, earth is not earth …"
"I said, I don't care, and I don't want to care."
"Layman Ancient, do you really not care?"
Gu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and replied, "I don't care."
"Layman Ancient, can I ask you one last question?"
"Ask."
"Will Layman Ancient kill the people you care about with your own hands?"
Gu Qingfeng did not answer this question.
The old monk continued, "When the Daoless Mountain descends, many of Layman Ancient's old friends will appear. Among these old friends, they may have helped Layman Ancient, or they may have had feelings for Layman Ancient, or they may have been loyal to Layman Ancient."
"Some of them may not want Layman Ancient to destroy the Great Dao, this world."
"Some of them may not want the black hole of karma to open, do not want the curse of karma to descend … and do not want the Daoless era to revive …"
"Perhaps there are many who have long wanted to end all this …"
"Can you kill them with your own hands? Can you guarantee that you can do it? "
In the face of the old monk's question, Gu Qingfeng fell into silence once again. He closed his eyes and the figures of Huo De, the Peach Blossom Taoist, Tang Laoguai, the Old Master Luo Xuan, the Wine Immortal, the Mad Monk Daxing, the Old Master Zhen Jue, and the countless Chi Xiao brothers who had roamed the world with him.
Gu Qingfeng really didn't know if he would still care about the life and death of these people if he insisted on doing things his way. Would he still kill these people mercilessly?
There were also figures of Yun Nishang, Feng Zhuyue, Tang Xiaofeng, Ye Tianlan, Jun Xuanji …
Gu Qingfeng could still clearly remember that all of them had said the same thing, and that was that they wanted to end all of this, to end this cursed karmic cycle …
If Gu Qingfeng didn't know what to do in front of Huo De, Luo Xuan, and his master, then in front of Yun Nishang, Feng Zhuyue, and these women, Gu Qingfeng didn't know what to do.
"All this time, I've been thinking about a question, and that is why Yun Nishang, Feng Zhuyue, and Tang HuanYue have karma with me. I know that they have already set up in advance for karma, but I didn't expect them to set up such a trap, a trap that plays the emotional card." Gu Qingfeng smiled. His smile was very playful and also very complicated. He said, "You don't say, playing such an emotional game really hit my soft spot."
"Layman Ancient, don't misunderstand. If all this is really a game, then it is also a game set up by karma and fate. They are just emotional chess pieces in the game."
"Then what about you?" Gu Qingfeng looked at the faintly discernible temple on the faintly discernible mountain. He also looked at the old monk in the faintly discernible temple that he had never seen before. He asked, "Are you also a chess piece set up by karma and fate?"
The old monk was silent.
He was silent for a very long time.
After an unknown period of time, the old monk murmured Amitabha in a low voice. He said, "Layman Ancient, you already know in your heart, so why ask me again?"
"Whether I know in my heart or not is my business. Whether you say it or not is your business. I've asked you this question many times, but you have never directly answered."
"Although I don't want to, I have to admit that I am also a chess piece set up by karma and fate."
"Now that I think about it carefully, when I accidentally entered the Nirvana Bone Jade, I had already fallen into the game set up by fate. Whether all this is caused by karma or arranged by fate, I don't know. Presumably, they don't know either. All this may be a game set up by fate, or it may really be caused by karma. None of this is important. What's important is that karma and fate are already like this."
At this point, the old monk's voice sounded very hesitant. He said, "The Daoless Era is cursed. The people of the Daoless Era are all like this, and I am no exception. We … all want to end all of this …"
"Can you end all of this if you kill me?"
"Perhaps."
"Perhaps?"
"Perhaps."
"You can't be sure?"
"No one can be sure, but all the signs point to Layman Ancient. You were born from a drop of Original Sin Blood, and that drop of Original Sin Blood was not just a drop of mutated Original Sin Blood. At the same time, it also awakened Daoless Mountain, awakened the black hole of karma, awakened the curse of karma, awakened the Daoless Era, and even awakened the drop of Original Sin Blood of Supreme Daoless."
"If that is the case, why haven't you made a move yet? If you want to kill me in this Nirvana Bone Jade, it will be as easy as flipping your hand."
"I said that I can't be sure right now. Only when Daoless Mountain descends will we know if the drop of Original Sin Blood in Layman Ancient's body is the key to awakening the Daoless Era."
Gu Qingfeng asked, "So, if Daoless Mountain descends and the Original Sin Blood in my body is the key to awakening the Daoless Era, you will attack me, right?"
The old monk fell into silence again. After a long time, he replied, "I don't know, I really don't know. Maybe I will, maybe I won't … I am very hesitant and at a loss."
"This old monk is like this, they are all like this, including Ancient Hermit. Could it be that Ancient Hermit has truly made up his mind?"
This time, it was Gu Qingfeng's turn to be silent.
He did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, "Why didn't you kill this possibility from the start? If the Original Sin Blood in my body is really the key to awakening the Daoless Era, it will not be so easy for you to kill me then. "
"Because I believe in Layman Ancient."
"Believe in me for what? Believe that I will not destroy this Great Dao and destroy this world? "
"Exactly."
"Hahahahaha! Old monk, old monk, even I don't dare to believe in myself. Who gave you the courage to believe in me! "
