The night outside the palace was dark, and the mountains were covered with snow.
Inside the palace, there was a depressing and chilling atmosphere.
Mu Bai stood alone at the gate of the palace, with a terrifying aura.
"My lord, as far as I know, your Kaiyuan Dao Sect has never lacked bloodthirsty people!"
Some people suppressed the fear in their hearts and said, "Some kill people to **** treasures of chance, some kill people because of conflicts of emotions, some kill people because of disagreements, and some even kill people indiscriminately according to their own thoughts!"
"This junior dares to ask, since your lord insists on the principles of good and evil, black and white, why don't you go and attack your master?"
Those words echoed in the hall.
Everyone looked at Mubai.
They didn't want to argue about black and white, good and evil, they just wanted to find a sufficient reason to make Mu Bai stop.
But all this aroused Su Yi's interest.
What is Dao Xin?
Obsession also includes not only the heart of seeking Tao, but also the code of conduct.
But Mubai's expression was calm, and he said without hesitation: "Right and wrong, good and evil, depend on each person, and they are different. In this world, killings and battles happen all the time, day and night, but..."
He looked around everyone, and said coldly, "Is it really the strong who kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
"ridiculous."
A boy in a blue shirt said, "Which of the great sects in this world has never killed innocent people indiscriminately? They often destroy cities and lands in battles, causing the lives of a city to be implicated and reduced to dead souls. Things, didn't happen to your Kaiyuan Daozong?"
Mu Bai frowned, his face became colder and colder.
"Why didn't Lord Mubai speak anymore?"
The man in the blue shirt asked loudly, "Could it be that your so-called exorcising demons, defending the way, and upholding justice are to deal with us weak casual cultivators, and when you treat those who are stronger than you, you change the rules of conduct?"
Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but secretly nodded, these words really pointed at Mu Bai's Dao heart!
Mu Bai was silent for a moment, and said: "In this case, many people have said it before, since you feel wronged, I will answer it again."
As he said that, he raised his eyes to stare at those casual cultivators, and said, "I am still unable to kill those stronger and more sinful people, but that doesn't mean I don't have the heart to kill them!"
"When I have the strength to kill them, they will all die!"
"It's true, in your opinion, I'm bullying and fearing the hard. It doesn't matter. There are many people in this world who don't understand me. I ask for my own way, and that's enough!"
As he said that, Mu Bai's eyes became more determined, and the aura on his body also became stronger, with a faint majesty that people dare not look at.
The man in the blue shirt was also shocked and speechless for a while.
"A good one, I ask myself."
Su Yi praised secretly.
This answer made him quite agreeable.
There are so many evil people in this world, does Mu Bai not want to kill them?
No, it's because of his limited abilities.
This is not a matter of principle, nor is it bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but that he is not strong enough!
The matter of good and evil, black and white, is simply impossible to talk about in the orderly and chaotic practice world.
Under such circumstances, if Mu Bai wants to pursue such a path of punishing evil, it is doomed to be too difficult, and it is doomed not to be understood by most people!
It is also because of this that Mubai looks very different, ridiculous, and absurd.
"Master Mubai, my grandfather is also working in the Kaiyuan Daozong, and he is the servant of Immortal King Luhui."
A woman suddenly trembled and said, "Can you...can you please forgive me for this kind of affection? This is my grandfather's nameplate, you can tell it just by looking at it."
As he spoke, he took out a nameplate and revealed it.
Everyone's spirits lifted, they all knew that Immortal King Luhui was the master of Kaiyuan Daozong Zhenling Hall!
That is, Mubai's boss!
Under such circumstances, what should Mu Bai, a young man who takes "eliminating demons and defending Taoism" as his mission, do?
But Mu Bai cut out without hesitation, beheading the woman on the spot, blood spilled all over the ground.
Everyone was startled and turned pale with horror.
Mubai said calmly: "This woman has committed a serious crime that cannot be pardoned. I believe that even if her grandfather knows about it, he will understand my actions, and Immortal King Lu Hui will definitely not criticize me for this."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of these either."
At this point, those casual cultivators all showed signs of despair, and each of them was ashamed.
This time, if they meet anyone else from Kaiyuan Daozong, they think they have a chance to survive.
But facing Mubai, they couldn't do it.
This evil star is simply a stick, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal!
"In this chaotic world, there are so many demons heretics, not to mention how many strong men with **** hands, you Mubai...can you kill them all?"
Someone roared with red eyes.
puff!
With a flash of the knife, the man's head rolled off.
Mubai said coldly, "As long as I live, I will keep killing, whether or not I can finish it!"
poof.
Someone was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Lord Mubai, Buddhists still say to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. We are willing to change our minds, correct our evil and return to the right, and spend our entire lives to make up for our mistakes. Please... forgive us!"
Mubai's cold expression showed a rare fluctuation, "Buddhism is Buddhism, and I am me. I only know that if those who do evil don't get retribution, I will be the first to refuse!"
puff!
There was a flash of blood.
The person kneeling on the ground was also killed on the spot.
"Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"
The Taoist robed old man sighed, "This is just a misrepresentation by the world. The so-called 'butcher's knife' is a delusion, evil thoughts, distracting thoughts, desires, and evil thoughts in the heart. It is an act of introspection, not an excuse for survival."
"In this way, you can change your mind and turn your back on the evil. This is the so-called 'becoming a Buddha'. However, this does not mean that past crimes can be canceled."
As he said that, he looked up at Mubai and said, "In this world, you are a different kind of person, but those who don't understand you often don't agree with your actions, but are worried that your knife will kill them one day on the head."
The old man in the Taoist robe suddenly laughed, "I believe that your relatives, friends, fellow disciples, and elders of the master's sect must regard you as a different kind, reject you, isolate you, suppress you, and even want you to disappear from the world!"
Mubai looked calm and didn't say a word.
But Su Yi noticed that there was a flash of pain deep in his eyes.
Undoubtedly, the words of the old man in Taoist robe aroused Mu Bai's sadness!
Indeed, who can not be afraid of a knife that only talks about good and evil, black and white, but does not talk about any human feelings?
Who can not be afraid?
"And the stronger you are, the more famous you are, the more dangerous your situation is destined to be!"
The Taoist robed old man said every word, "Because of your existence, too many people have been threatened!"
"I dare say that the first person who can't spare you at that time is the master behind you. They won't let you continue to kill like this!"
After hearing this, Mubai said with a calm expression: "You are right. In the sect, many people secretly regard me as the lone star of heavenly evil, and I will die sooner or later."
"But they don't know that after I embark on this path, I am not afraid of death at all!"
The old man in the Taoist robe sneered, "If your parents, master, Taoist companion, relatives... are people who kill innocent people indiscriminately, how should you treat them?"
In a word, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
But Mu Bai laughed for the first time, and said: "I am an orphan, I have no parents, no relatives, and no friends. Even in the sect of cultivation, no elder of the sect is willing to accept me as a disciple."
That smile carried a lingering sense of loneliness and sadness.
Immediately, Mu Bai's expression became calm and firm again, "I've long since been betrayed by all relatives, and I'm alone, so what's so scary?"
At this time, Su Yi finally understood.
It is precisely because this Mubai is alone, with no attachments, that he has embarked on such a road that is not understood by the world and is destined to be full of endless dangers and ups and downs!
It seemed absurd.
Punishing evil and promoting good, and determining right and wrong are things that everyone in the world should pursue.
But in the practice world, such a role has become an alternative.
The saddest thing is that Su Yi dares to conclude that if Mu Bai is not alone, he might not be able to stick to such a path that is destined to be betrayed by the congregation!
And all of this made Mu Bai, an outlier, rare and valuable in Su Yi's eyes.
Su Yiqiu's path is different from Mubai's, but this does not prevent him from recognizing and appreciating it.
"No wonder you're so ruthless..."
The old man in Taoist robe sighed, "I have nothing to say anymore."
Mu Bai swung his saber and beheaded the Taoist robed old man on the spot.
I don't know if they were intimidated by Mubai's majestic majesty, or because they were intimidated, the other casual cultivators were all sluggish there, looking out of their wits.
"Fellow Daoist, please help us, I know, you can definitely do it, can't you?"
All of a sudden, a woman rushed to Su Yi, knelt down and begged, as if grasping at a straw.
Su Yi naturally remembered that this woman took out a jug of wine and gave it to herself before.
At the same time, Mu Bai looked over, and frowned: "Your Excellency is with them?"
Su Yi looked at the woman whose face was full of fear and begging, then looked at Mubai, and said, "What crime did she commit?"
Mu Bai said without hesitation: "This witch takes pleasure in picking people's hearts and making wine. She once harmed ordinary people in more than a dozen cities in the mortal land. She is insane and has committed a heinous crime!"
Su Yi glanced at the jug of wine beside him on the ground, it was a gift from the woman before, and it had never been opened.
Undoubtedly, if it was as Mu Bai said, this jug of wine was probably brewed with **** hearts.
"What is the difference between an ordinary person and an ant?"
The woman's pretty face turned pale, and she argued, "This is the consensus of all practitioners in the world!"
"Not to mention that from ancient times to the present, practitioners have always used monsters like me to make alchemy. Why do you think I killed innocent people indiscriminately when I only killed some ants to make wine?"
As she said that, the woman seemed confident and confident, "Also, when you Mubai was practicing, didn't you swallow the elixir made from the blood of monsters?"
Faced with this questioning, Mu Bai calmly said: "No."
The woman screamed: "I don't believe it, you must be lying! How can any panacea in this world be without the blood of living beings as a primer?"
Mu Bai ignored her, looked at Su Yi, and said, "Your Excellency, are you going to intervene?"
