Chapter 358 Life
"White-haired beasts, cold weather, and endless mountains."
"It appears this place is controlled by black tentacles, but every winter, when the mountains are most attractive to monks from the Bixen Continent, the long-dormant white-haired beasts awaken, hindering the monks from entering the mountains. The cold winter also lowers the body temperature of the animals entering, making them less likely to be detected by the black tentacles. While the endless mountain peaks facilitate the absorption of the Heavenly Evil Formation to a certain extent, they also largely hide the dangerous and dark parts underground."
Ah Qing was silent now.
Although it has not seen much, it does not mean that it is stupid. It is just that its thinking has been limited by what it has seen and heard in the past. Now, listening to Zhu Sheng and Shen Qingyi's explanations, it gradually understood the truth.
But understanding is one thing, and accepting is another.
It still feels very sad.
"Sister, those lives that were sacrificed, did they...deserve to be sacrificed?"
Ah Qing's originally dark green eyes couldn't help but become misty, making the clarity in his eyes less.
This is the question that Ah Qing has always wanted to ask.
Should those who sacrificed themselves die?
"Sacrifice a few people to save the majority. Should those few people be sacrificed and killed?!"
The war was like this back then, and the world of immortal cultivation is like this now!
When will this world end?!
"They always say that the sacrifices of those creatures are worth it, but... but they are clearly also living beings, yet they have to... yet they have to be forced to sacrifice..."
Ah Qing's voice became smaller and smaller.
She was dissatisfied, just like those living beings who were buried in the ground with resentment.
But...what right does she have to be dissatisfied?
Isn't it because of the sacrifices of those people that we have the world of immortal cultivation today, and that we have what we have today?
Ah Qing's head drooped lower and lower.
Tears fell one by one.
Shen Qingyi gently held up Ah Qing's little face and looked at her seriously.
Shen Qingyi suddenly remembered what his predecessors had said: In a prosperous and bright era, there will always be people who will go through fire and water to fight for it...
Shen Qingyi once didn't know what the words of his predecessors meant and what they wanted to express.
Now, she didn't see it thoroughly, but she had gained a little more understanding. She thought that if she wanted to fully understand the meaning of the words, it would take some time...
"Ah Qing, I don't know what this path and the end of life are. I don't think any life deserves to be sacrificed for others, unless... he is willing..."
Ah Qing raised her head and stared at Shen Qingyi blankly, the mist in her eyes gradually receding.
"Voluntary?"
But among all living beings in this world, is there anyone who is really willing to sacrifice himself for others, knowing that he will die and be doomed?
Moreover, there were countless strangers...
"Sister, are we leaving now?"
Ah Qing looked back at the mountains and forests.
Shen Qingyi also looked back.
In fact, she felt that the current Bixen Continent was more like a sealed land.
Many dark things are sealed inside, and in order to suppress these things, a set of rules has been formed here to maintain balance.
But the price of this balance is somewhat cruel.
Her cultivation level is still low and she is unable to change. If she acts rashly, the consequences will be a thousand times more tragic.
