Pure Sun Sect, Hall of Morality.
Mengqi entered the Pure Sun Sect without the need for a disciple to ask for an audience. He received a message from Chong He and was surrounded by a clear light. He flew into the void and appeared directly in the Hall of Morality.
At the top, the white-haired and white-bearded statue of Lord Dao De stood with scriptures in his hand and Tai Chi on his back. Chong He was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged under the statue. His eyebrows and beard were all white, and his skin was like a baby's. There were two golden lamps behind him.
Apart from them, the entire hall was made of green bricks. There was nothing else in the hall, as if it contained all living things.
In a trance, Mengqi vaguely felt that Taoist Chong He was somewhat similar to the statue of Lord Dao De. He blurted out, "Senior, congratulations on your upcoming breakthrough."
After obtaining the contents of the World of Dao and the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception, Taoist Chong He seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough!
Chong He smiled and said, "It will take a year and a half."
"Since you can tell me the exact time limit, it means that the breakthrough is in sight," Meng Qi replied with a smile. He then sat on the ground casually on the green brick.
Chong He was kind and easy-going. Being with him was like a spring breeze. Mengqi gradually relaxed.
Chong He smiled and said, "You never come to me without a reason. What problem have you encountered?"
Mengqi smiled and said, "I have important news to report …"
He first told him about the secret collusion between Han Guang and Gao Lan, including the fact that the Emperor's Sword had fallen into the hands of the Mad Prince.
"The world is in chaos and the Great Tribulation is coming. All kinds of Heavenly Weapons have begun to appear." Taoist Chong He sighed with no shock or fear. "If I knew that Donor Gao had the Emperor's Sword a few years ago, the Daoist would not be able to calm down."
Now that the breakthrough was imminent, Gao Lan could only slightly awaken the Sword of the Human Sovereign. As the saying goes, the devil grows one foot, the Taoist grows ten feet … Meng Qi silently helped Chong He to finish the sentence. Once he became an Earth Immortal, he would have the level of Bodhidharma and Yamuni Bodhisattva. With Gao Lan's current combat strength and the degree of awakening of the Sword of the Human Sovereign, combined with the Changle Formation, he could at most hold his ground. Would Mister Luda be afraid of Han Guang?
The only problem was that they might collude with the demon race. But in that case, Abbot Kong Wen, Cui Qinghe, and He Qi would not sit idly by.
Mengqi struck while the iron was hot. He used the Fruits of Karma to kill Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven, then went to the Plain Lady Sect to comprehend the Invincible Blade of The Conqueror, and then met Gu Xiaosang. He was forced to sign a contract to help her explore the Ninth Heaven. He only hid the part where Gu Xiaosang called him husband and the part where they practiced Dual Cultivation to escape.
"The Lord of Purity and Magic has indeed gone to the Heavenly Court … They are all in the Yuxu Palace …" Chong He first pondered over the matter, but after he had no clue, he joked, "Recently, the world has been in turmoil. Everyone is talking about you and Donor Gu. Some say that you are a true hero, doing extraordinary things, doing extraordinary things, and some say that you have an extraordinary partner. Some say that you are fishing for fame, unable to distinguish between good and evil, addicted to beauty, and have fallen into the Devil's Path. When you were at Happycloud Heights, you were intimate with Donor Gu. Everyone has the right to punish you."
"Sure enough, Han Guang didn't give up the opportunity to discredit me …" Mengqi had expected this, but shouldn't most people be suspicious? After all, there was no evidence. The one who spread the news was the Destruction Sect Master, the Mythical Celestial Sovereign, a giant among the evil spirits, so it was not very credible!
Wait a minute, I was intimate with Gu Xiaosang in Happycloud Heights? I was seriously injured and unable to resist, so she took me away!
Except for me, Gu Xiaosang, Senior Chong He, and Ze Luoju, no one else saw this at that time. Brother Doubi also jumped out later to take me hostage, so it should not have been spread!
Could it be that Gu Xiaosang personally spread the news? With the details, everyone was doubtful?
Mengqi thought thoughtfully. At present, the two mainstream attitudes were all within his expectations. Some were always dissatisfied and jealous of him, some could not tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes, and some were envious of Gu Xiaosang's love …
Chong He laughed and said, "The Daoist will pick out the key points to help you. This matter is more groundless, and it will not be difficult to calm down."
With the endorsement of the leader of the righteous alliance, Meng Qi no longer cared about the rumors and directly threw them to the back of his mind.
Seeing that this topic was about to end, Chong He suddenly asked calmly,
"If donor Gu continues to do evil, kill innocent people, and try to bring disaster to the world in the future, what will you do when you meet her again?"
This sentence was like a lightning, striking into Mengqi's mind, illuminating the hidden gloom in his heart, and the question he had been avoiding!
When they meet again in the future, can I still be so determined to brandish my saber and kill her?
If I am softhearted, it is likely that I will watch her do something against her bottom line. In the future, the guilt will always be there, and the inner demons will always follow!
Chong He looked at Mengqi softly, and did not force him to answer.
And Mengqi was silent for a long time, exhaled, suppressed the chaotic and noisy mood, and slowly said,
"No matter what her intentions are, she has saved my life several times. As a man, if I can't take revenge, what is the meaning of living?"
"If I meet her doing evil things and killing innocent people, I will risk my life to stop her, abolish her martial arts, and then protect her, guard her, and let her live in the green lamp and the ancient Buddha, or wear sackcloth and etiquette, or retreat to the forest."
Chong He did not express his opinion, and said casually, "She is also a Samsara traveler. Abolishing her martial arts does not mean the end. Again and again, do you want to entangle with her?"
Mengqi was silent again, and his mood was complicated. After a long time, he said, "I will always be on guard against this matter …"
The opposition between the good and the evil was not a superficial difference, but the opposition of concepts, ideas, and the bottom line of doing things. It seemed to be easy to say, but in fact, it was very serious.
Chong He smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, Daoist just asked casually, and let you sort out your mood. It doesn't matter what you answer."
Mengqi nodded, and understood Chong He's meaning. He relaxed a little, and said, "This time in the Southern Wasteland, I encountered something …"
He talked about the trip in the Southern Wasteland from beginning to end, and told the secret method to Chong He.
Chong He did not try the secret method directly. Instead, he asked inexplicably, "If you had abandoned the Supreme Heaven Mirror and escaped directly, the benefactor of the Rakshasa of the Bloody Sea would not have hated you too much. Why did you have to make enemies with him?"
"First, if the Supreme Heaven Mirror is obtained by him, it is likely to help him improve rapidly, and the Blood-robed Cult is a complete evil spirit, inhumane, cruel, and vicious. I am very happy to defeat them and weaken them as much as I can." Mengqi said with emotion. This was the true meaning of repaying kindness and enmity. "Second, you also said that my luck is not normal. If I don't create more opportunities when my luck is good to prepare for the future, should I do it when the prosperity turns to decline, and when the disaster comes?"
Even the Dominator felt that the Supreme-wisdom Tree was mysterious, and he would not let go of the opportunity to improve it.
After this time, a green leaf on the Supreme-wisdom Tree had completely sprouted, and it was full of vitality, as if it was breeding something extraordinary.
Besides, at that time, the Blood Sea Rakshasa must have wanted to kill him, so he would probably prevent him from escaping. If he did not attract his attention by absorbing the Supreme Heaven Mirror, even if it was just a doppelganger, it might have a way to interfere with Meng Qi's Space-Breaking Charm. If he could not get out of the magical place, he would not be able to enter the Lanke Temple. The Blood Sea Rakshasa did not wait outside until the real body came, because he wanted to be cautious. Otherwise, he would not be able to control the situation, and maybe he would have a treasure to replace his realm and take away the remnant of the Supreme Heaven Mirror.
Chong He smiled kindly and said, "The Blood Sea Rakshasa is cunning, sinister, cruel, and vengeful. Even if you did not have a deep grudge against him before, once he knew that you entered the Divine World, he would definitely try to take revenge. Nothing has changed. Anyway, he cannot directly come here before he succeeds."
"But when you travel around, it will be much more dangerous. The Daoist temporarily gave you a Talisman of Inversion, which can slightly deceive his deduction and secret method for a year. After a year, if the Daoist succeeds, he can go to the Southern Wasteland. If he can't break the Front Gate of the Blood-robed Cult, he will not dare to leave the Southern Wasteland for ten years."
"Damn, Senior Chong He said such domineering words in such a plain tone …" Mengqi suddenly felt envious and proud of having a backer!
After saying that, Chong He laughed at himself and said, "Even if I invite Donor Lu and the others to attack together, I am afraid that there is no way to break the Front Gate of the Blood-robed Cult with the help of the Poison God."
The Dharmakaya, the Heavenly Weapon, and the Front Gate Formation could resist the siege of two or three ordinary Dharmakaya.
"Does the Poison God really exist?" Mengqi was a little surprised.
Chong He nodded and said, "The Poison God is a god of incense that is close to perfection. Even if he dies at the end of his life, as long as the Southern Wasteland's belief in the Poison God is not extinguished, he can be reborn from incense. When he is at his strongest, he is not inferior to Buddha Yue Mani. When he is at his weakest, he is at the peak of the Man Fairy. However, because of some restrictions that the Daoist is not clear about, he seldom fights, and almost no achievements have been passed down."
After saying a few words, Chong He closed his eyes and operated the secret method, trying to sense the additional self.
After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head, "Without the help of the breath of the Supreme Deity Mirror to take the first step, I can't sense it with the secret method alone."
So … the Blood Sea Rakshasa took the first step with the help of the Everlasting Valley? Mengqi suddenly thought about it, and then he talked about the secret method, the Supreme Deity Mirror, and the additional self of the Myriad World. In the end, he asked, "Senior, what is the essential difference between the angler and the fish?"
Chong He pondered for a moment and said, "The Daoist doesn't know for the time being, but I have a vague idea. It is said that the creatures born at the beginning of primitive times were born as legends, and there was no such thing after that. Maybe the difference between the angler and the fish has something to do with it."
At the beginning of primitive times, the creatures born as legends? Mengqi silently remembered this news.
At this time, he thought of something and took out the strange book of Tao Te Ching, "Senior, this is a book of Tao Te Ching that I got in the world of Journey to the West, but I don't see anything strange about it."
Chong He took it and flipped through it. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and his white eyebrows deeply wrinkled. It was an extremely rare gaffe!
"Senior, is it really strange?" Mengqi's heart was in his throat.
Chong He took a deep breath and calmed down, "Our sect is the orthodoxy of Lord Dao De, and we have a cultivation method written by him. The handwriting of this book of Tao Te Ching is exactly the same as that cultivation method, except that it doesn't contain any power."
What the hell, Tao Te Ching written by Lord Dao De himself? Mengqi was completely shocked. This was one of the Three Pristines, the top three of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism, and the Primogenitor who was regarded as a big shot by the Evil Spirit of Zhen Wu!
Did he get it by chance? Or was it arranged by someone? What does it mean to give me a book of Tao Te Ching without power?
Chong He guessed Mengqi's thoughts and joked, "Maybe it is to let you read more of this scripture, understand morality, and adjust your state of mind. It is good to have a heart like walking on thin ice, but if you are always tense, you will lose the meaning of Yin and Yang Tai Chi."
Mengqi understood that Immortal Chong He was joking, but the Death Task was imminent, and he really needed to adjust his state of mind and prepare his emotions. So he seized the opportunity and asked Senior Chong He for advice.
Chong He thought for a moment and said, "You take this book of Tao Te Ching to the Lecture Hall and teach the children to read it."
"Uh …" Mengqi was confused. He went out of the Hall of Tao Te Ching and saw a guard with a yellow crown, so he followed him out of the core area and stepped into the Lecture Hall.
"This is the teacher who will teach you Tao Te Ching." The yellow crown introduced.
The children, who were around ten years old or younger, stood up and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, teacher."
Sunlight passed through the windows of the lecture hall and shone on the young and innocent faces. The golden light shone brightly, full of vitality. Meng Qi's heart immediately calmed down.
This was hope.
This was life.
