Chapter 174 The Root of All Evil
Shi Qinghan was a bit straightforward, and couldn't stand people who were sarcastic. He said unhappily, "My fellow Taoist who made sarcastic remarks, you have been guarding for three days. If you have the ability, you can go in by yourself! What are you talking about if you can't go in?"
"Brother, don't say anything. Now that we are here, let's see how to open this door!" Gu Shihan said with a smile.
Situ Tinglang glared at the monk who was speaking, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Shi, Fellow Daoist Mo Yu, we have thought of many ways, but they are basically useless. You don't have to be polite, just check it out directly."
"Well, junior sister, let's go and take a look! How about it?" Mo Yu stepped forward and asked.
Mo Yu, Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan walked forward, and with every step they took there seemed to be a kind of rhythm spreading.
The monks who were guarding there stared with their eyes wide open, thinking to themselves that it was impossible. Every one of them had tried it, but there was no reaction at all. What was going on?
Gu Shihan and his companions ignored the incredulity of others and went straight to the gate. They reached out and gently touched the gate. Suddenly, a light appeared on the door and there seemed to be flickering images in the light.
She saw a blurry figure casting a strange spell to seal something, and then the scene changed, revealing many battle scenes, with countless lives lost.
Everyone stared at the gate, watching the pictures flashing by one after another. The scene was too tragic. Could this be the memory of what had happened here?
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what did you do? We...we clearly touched the gate." Situ Tinglang said in disbelief.
"Is this gate a memory stone that records everything that has ever happened?"
"I think it looks quite similar, I guess it must be the one!"
Everyone speculated, Gu Shihan frowned and responded: "Maybe, it seems that there are many secrets hidden here."
Just as everyone was watching the image carefully, the light suddenly became brighter, and then the door slowly opened.
A powerful force surged out from it, as if welcoming everyone, and as if luring everyone in.
The door opened just like that, and everyone was stunned. Gu Shihan was the first to step into the palace, followed closely by the others.
The hall was extremely spacious, with all kinds of strange instruments and gleaming treasures placed around it.
Situ Tinglang said, "How should we deal with these things? It was Fellow Daoist Gu and his friends who opened the door. I'll let them choose one first. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Gu Shihan took a look and said, "There are not too many treasures here, not too few, thirty-three, which means that each person can get one. Let's choose our own treasure based on our feelings!"
Gu Shihan stretched out her hand and released her spiritual power, and everyone saw a jade token flying into her hand.
Gu Shihan took a look and found nothing unusual, so he calmly put it into the storage bracelet.
Soon, all 33 treasures were collected. Shi Qinghan's was a jade slip of martial arts skills, and Mo Yu's was a jade hairpin...
Just when everyone was happy about getting the treasure, there was a "buzzing" sound, and a suspended crystal ball appeared above their heads in the center of the hall. Black and white mist was surging inside, as if fighting for the initiative.
Everyone looked up in surprise, staring at the crystal ball that suddenly appeared, and there was silence for a moment.
Suddenly, a disembodied male voice, as if coming from the sky, rang out in the originally silent air.
This voice passed through the barrier of time and space, and echoed in everyone's ears with an ancient and solemn atmosphere: "You can come in, which means you are all destined to be together. Do you see this crystal ball? This is the source of all evil! Only people with pure hearts can seal it again. Otherwise, once this source of all evil is unsealed, it will surely cause chaos in the world and bring disaster to the people!"
After hearing these words, some people had a strange look in their eyes and an inexplicable sense of hostility in their bodies, and the scene quickly became chaotic.
Gu Shihan glanced at the monks and his eyes turned cold. It seemed that this crystal ball was not a good thing.
She couldn't help but snorted in response, "This is an evil thing, why not just destroy it? Wouldn't it be more efficient to put an end to it all? Why seal it?"
Her words were soon interrupted by the noise. The monks who had just been friendly with each other began to fight each other. Is this the intention of the source of all evil?
Shi Qinghan's heart sank, and he pulled Mo Yu and Gu Shihan aside, "Senior, is this the crystal ball causing trouble?"
"Yes! Those with weak character and bad character will be affected by it."
"So those demonized monsters and demonized monks are all because of it?" Mo Yu asked in surprise.
"Well, it's all because of it. Now evil thoughts have taken over. Monks or other creatures invaded by the evil thoughts it emits will lose their ability to stay awake at first, and all they have in their minds are blood and killing. After adapting, they will return to normal, but they will also lose their kindness." The male voice is faint.
"Then let's destroy it!" said Situ Tinglang, who did not join the battle.
The male voice sighed, "It's a good idea, but this thing can't be destroyed, and it must not be destroyed. You must know that everything in the world has two sides, just as there must be yin and yang, and there must be imperfections in a circle. Only when there is evil can the preciousness of good be highlighted. If you rashly destroy this source of all evil, the balance of yin and yang in the entire world will be broken, and the order between good and evil will collapse. By then, the consequences will probably be much more serious than letting it be unsealed!"
After hearing this explanation, Gu Shihan and others frowned, their hearts filled with doubts and confusion.
At this moment, Mo Yu, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward, came to Gu Shihan's side and said softly: "Junior sister, in my opinion, this matter is very serious, we should still consider it carefully. After all, it concerns the safety of the world, and we must not act rashly!"
Gu Shihan turned his head to look at the dozen or so people who were still conscious and standing nearby. He saw that they also had solemn expressions on their faces as they watched the fierce fight.
Situ Tinglang took a deep breath and said, "We can't let them continue fighting. I have some drugs here. This is an antidote. Everyone, take it. I will knock them all out and throw them aside. We can discuss how to deal with the crystal ball later."
"Good! Fellow Daoist Situ is righteous!" Mo Yu nodded.
Everyone was undecided about how to deal with the crystal ball and the source of all evil contained within it... everyone had worry and caution in their eyes.
"Time waits for no one. If you delay any further, the evil thoughts will become stronger and stronger, and it will inevitably get out of control. This world will go completely crazy, and all living things will suffer."
Gu Shihan was silent for a moment and then said, "If it is really as you said, then we cannot allow this source of all evil to be born. Senior, since you said it cannot be destroyed, then what should we do? We certainly cannot let it become stronger, right? If that were the case, wouldn't right and wrong be messed up? How is this world different from destruction?"
