Chapter 52 The Heart-Breaking Truth
The space was quiet. Tiandao's ball of light slowly turned around and stood facing Fojiang.
"Finally caught you."
During the time that Fojiang disappeared, he had been tracking the traces left by Tiandao. He was just a mortal body and did not even have Chili's bloodline. He was also different from the tree spirit who already had an identity.
He relied entirely on himself to personally see the true nature of the Heavenly Dao.
Unless Tiandao wants to show up and meet someone, no one in this world can see Tiandao, but Fojiang actually did it.
"Fo Jiang, I admit that you are outstanding, but even if you see me, nothing can change."
The voice of the Heavenly Dao is unusually calm. Anyone who can find it is indeed extremely outstanding, but any life in this world can only be under its control.
"No need. I've already heard the answer I wanted to know."
Fo Jiang's usually compassionate face was filled with a chill that could freeze one's heart, one could even call it murderous intent.
"You hate me? For a Buddha, that's too bold."
The Heavenly Dao was also very curious, and no one had ever shown such an expression to him. Anyone who saw him would be grateful. To have the Heavenly Dao's favor was a great thing that could lead to success in one step.
Even the tree spirit had never thought of killing it.
"Shouldn't I hate you?"
Fo Jiang now felt as if he was in an ice cellar. Every word that the inner demon and the Heavenly Dao had just spoken poured into his ears, including Jiang Jiu's calculated fate of becoming the savior.
"No, you should thank me. Without me, you wouldn't be able to see her, and the world would be destroyed."
What Tiandao said was a matter of course, and Fo Jiang was so angry that he went straight to his head.
"Isn't ginger wine innocent?!"
There was clearly not much fluctuation in Fo Jiang's tone, but one could tell that he was depressed at the moment, as if he was roaring. No one could empathize with his pain.
In a sense, he and Ji Chen are no different, both are poor creatures trapped in the web of morality.
"Sacrificing one person to save the world is a choice even for Buddhism."
The Way of Heaven has no emotions; it simply answers Fojiang's questions based on common sense.
"Don't be so ridiculous."
Fo Jiang was completely enraged and rushed towards the ball of light with his Zen stick. He couldn't believe that the result he had never gotten was so tragic.
Unfortunately, the next second, he passed through the ball of light.
"This is just my incarnation. Attacking me is useless."
Tiandao watched this farce with indifference.
"You were able to deceive my eyes and follow the tree spirit to this place. Your future is limitless. As a Buddhist, you can only achieve perfection if you are not trapped by love."
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao took pity on Fo Jiang's talent and future, and looked at the angry Fo Jiang and gently dissuaded him.
"You don't need to teach me a lesson."
Fo Jiang also knew that he was impulsive. He closed his eyes and understood that it was meaningless to continue to tangle with Tian Dao, and it would not help Jiang Jiu at all.
Although the truth he discovered made him extremely painful now, if he gave up on himself, Jiang Jiu would have no chance of survival.
What he has to do now is to find a way to preserve Jiang Jiu's soul.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Fo Jiang's mind, even including his inner demons.
He had once realized in the Buddhist holy land that the inner demon was not an ordinary existence because the energy in it was too great. However, he did not understand it at that time and just thought it was some kind of mountain monster. He did not expect that its identity was so important.
The inner demon's attitude just now clearly showed that he didn't want Jiang Jiu to be sacrificed. If he could cooperate...
"I advise you not to waste your time. Your cultivation is hard-earned. Don't ruin your future."
The way of heaven cannot kill people directly, but it can send down thunder and lightning when people make mistakes. Now these words are also equivalent to a warning.
"Heavenly Dao, you will never understand human emotions."
Fo Jiang pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and his voice was filled with unspeakable sarcasm.
"I don't need to understand."
Tiandao said coldly.
"Oh."
Fo Jiang got the answer he wanted, so there was no need for him to stay. He turned around and left.
If others knew that he had gone through so much trouble to see Tiandao, but did not ask for any gifts, but instead questioned Tiandao and tried to attack Tiandao, they would probably be shocked.
...
On the other side, Jiang Jiu was still in the lower world. The three of them were walking in the Yuyang City market at night. The surrounding atmosphere was bustling and prosperous.
Jiang Jiu stood in the middle, one on each side, with another one hidden in his lapel.
'Little Loach' quietly poked its head out from Jiang Jiu's clothes and looked at the prosperous scenery outside. Even its gray body became a little brighter and it seemed to be in a good mood.
"Mom, are there a lot of delicious food here?"
The young voice of 'Little Loach' was filled with longing.
"There are a lot, what do you want to eat?"
Jiang Jiu was at a loss for words. During this journey, she found that the "little loach" was as greedy as a kitten or a puppy. He wanted to have a bite of everything he saw. She didn't know if this was normal for a dragon.
The key point is that Long Xuan is very indulgent to it, and is even more willing to eat these things from the mortal world than the "little loach".
Although the dragon's body is very strong, this 'little loach' has congenital deficiencies, and I don't know if it will get hurt by eating it.
Jiang Jiu thought worriedly.
Xiao Nianzhong looked at the black-sailed boat reflected on the lake. There was a woman standing on the bow singing, her beautiful figure looming in the light, and suddenly a picture appeared in his mind.
It would be great to see Ginger Wine on a boat.
So he tugged at Jiang Jiu's clothes and asked in a low voice.
"There's a pleasure boat on the lake. Do you want to go take a look?"
Jiang Jiu looked in the direction of Xiao Nian's gaze and saw the beautiful scenery on the lake. He was moved and wanted to take a boat ride.
"good."
She nodded, and the three of them walked towards the boats moored on the lakeshore. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hydrangea fell from the sky and landed in Jiang Jiu's arms.
“!”
Jiang Jiu stared at the extra thing in her arms in shock, and looked up with a confused look on her face. She saw the young lady who was looking for a husband in the embroidery building also looking in her direction, with shyness written all over her face.
The people around also looked in the direction of Jiang Jiu, curious about who caught the hydrangea.
"Could this young man please come up and have a chat?"
The young lady had a sweet voice and was raised in seclusion. Her every move and gesture showed the temperament of a lady from a noble family. Many people around her felt sorry for her because she didn't get the bouquet.
As for Jiang Jiu, she was still wondering, can't this lady tell that she is a woman?
etc....
She seemed to be wearing a layer of illusion disguise now, just to facilitate her movements, she changed into the appearance of a man. Perhaps it was because of this reason that she was misunderstood.
"Um...I..."
Jiang Jiu was about to open his mouth to refuse, but a few servants came towards him, looking like they would not give up until he was asked to leave.
