According to the general film process, the battle against the final boss will definitely be earth-shattering and soul-stirring. Both sides will try their best to fight, and in the end they will have to sacrifice a few unimportant supporting characters before they can be considered victorious.
However, for Fang Zheng...is this considered a problem?
It’s just a thousand-year-old locust tree spirit. If he, as a time dragon and a quasi-god, can’t defeat it, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!
The first fire is surging.
The scorching red flames shot up into the sky, scaring Nie Xiaoqian so much that she stepped back repeatedly. At the same time, accompanied by screams, dozens of female ghosts emerged from the ground, their bodies also covered with flames. The flames were spreading rapidly on the surface of their bodies, turning these female ghosts into fire men in the blink of an eye. Ning Caichen couldn't bear to see this and turned his head away.
In less than half a minute, the whole old locust tree was burned into black charcoal, and most of the female ghosts were also dead. Only Nie Xiaoqian was left standing there, trembling all over, not daring to speak.
"Okay, it's done."
Fang Zheng pulled out the big sword from the dark tree trunk. What was very strange was that even though it was burned to black ash, the tree still maintained its original shape. From a distance, it looked like a tree in a landscape painting. It was not until Fang Zheng pulled out the big sword that it was blown away by the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Three more hours...
After taking a look at the duration of the Divine Realm, Fang Zheng nodded. In terms of conversion rate, the bosses in this world are much more durable than those in the previous two worlds. Strictly speaking, this old locust tree alone is basically equivalent to ten Optimus Primes + Megatron or five Captain Americas and three Thanos... It seems that the Xianxia world is different. You know, this old locust tree can only be regarded as a medium-sized boss in the Xianjian world.
If this encounters the water monster of Fahai Baiyue Sect's leader, I really don't know how long it will burn.
"Brother, is this the end?"
At this moment, Ning Caichen stepped forward cautiously to ask, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"It ends here. There is more to come..."
Tsk tsk tsk, an old locust tree spirit is so resistant to burning, and that Black Mountain old demon... hehehe... Fang Zheng is almost drooling.
However, at this moment, Ai Ge suddenly spoke.
"Father, what should she do?"
"Um?"
Hearing Aige's question, Fangzheng turned around and found Aige staring at Nie Xiaoqian with interest. Under Aige's gaze, Nie Xiaoqian trembled and didn't know what to say. Seeing Fangzheng looking over, she knelt down again in a hurry.
"I beg the Immortal to spare Xiaoqian's life. Xiaoqian is willing to reincarnate in the underworld..."
"Yes, she looks so pitiful, so let her go."
Zhao Linger couldn't help but plead for mercy at this moment, but Ai Ge's expression didn't change at all.
"Let her go? But she killed a lot of people, didn't she?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Zhao Linger didn't know what to say for a moment, and Nie Xiaoqian was so scared that she kowtowed to Ai Ge continuously.
"Xiao Qian was forced by grandma, it was not her own will..."
"But you have killed someone, and more than once?"
"That's... indeed..."
Hearing Ai Ge's persistent questioning, Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head in dejection, while Fang Zheng stood aside curiously without saying anything. He looked at Ai Ge with interest, wanting to see what she was thinking. Along the way, Ai Ge had been trained by Fang Zheng to be a programmer, but on the most critical issue, Fang Zheng still did not see any progress. After all, Ai Ge was born with the root, so she had almost no sense of good and evil. For Ai Ge, she could do whatever she wanted. Good and bad were all definitions of stupid mortals. In the root, good and evil were all one. What was the meaning?
But now, it seems that Ai Ge has started thinking about this issue?
But looking at her expression, she seems to be enjoying it more?
"If you don't want to kill anyone, you can choose to die yourself. Can't you just let your soul fly away and scatter? "
"To be honest, Xiaoqian's ashes were buried in this Lanruo Temple after her death. It was because of this that Xiaoqian was controlled by the grandmother and committed murder. Xiaoqian also thought about resisting, but how could a weak woman like me resist a thousand-year-old demon..."
What Xiaoqian said was indeed pitiful, but Aige just looked at her with a smile, as if she was watching a monkey show.
At this time, Lin Yueru stood up.
"I don't think it's too much. It's true that Miss Xiaoqian killed a lot of people, but those people weren't good people either! You've seen it before, too. Every time Miss Xiaoqian killed someone, she would use beauty or gold to lure the other person. If the other person wasn't fooled like this silly scholar, she wouldn't force him to kill her. So, those people who were killed by Miss Xiaoqian before must have been after her beauty or wealth. People like this, in my opinion, deserve to die!"
In this regard, Lin Yueru was obviously more radical than Zhao Linger. In her opinion, those who were killed by Nie Xiaoqian deserved it...
After listening to Lin Yueru's words, Aige blinked, then she looked at Ning Caichen.
"What do you think?"
"I?"
Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel nervous when Aige suddenly asked him a question. He stared at Nie Xiaoqian and was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh.
"I can't tell right from wrong, merit from demerit, good from evil, but as Miss Lin said, those people may have evil thoughts, and being harmed by them is also the cycle of heaven, retribution. But Miss Xiaoqian hurt others, although it was not her own will, but after all, she killed someone, ah... I really don't know what to do, but as the Buddha said, the sea of suffering is boundless and turning back is the shore, please give Miss Xiaoqian a chance..."
"So, you mean to let her go?"
"That's... exactly what happened."
Ning Caichen bent down and bowed to Aige, but Aige was obviously not going to be convinced so easily.
"You want me to give her a chance, but do those people she killed still have a chance? If, as you said, as long as the person involved reflects on himself, then can I also kill thousands or hundreds of people, and then cry and confess in front of everyone, and then pretend that nothing happened before? In other words, I can go back to live my good life, and those people died in vain? Is that what you mean?"
"this……"
Faced with Ai Ge's question, Ning Caichen was finally speechless this time.
This time, Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head again and knelt on the ground.
"Just as the Immortal said, Xiaoqian knows that she has committed a grave sin, so please let her die..."
"You just want to die like this? Do you think that since you have killed so many people, your death can offset all the lives lost?"
"this……"
I see.
Looking at Ai Ge's current state, Fang Zheng finally understood what she was doing. Obviously, Ai Ge still couldn't understand good and evil, but she had already realized that people in this world were troubled and troubled by good and evil, and what she was doing now... was just playing!
Indeed, for Sajo Aige, she herself has no sense of good and evil, so she doesn't care what Nie Xiaoqian did or how many people she killed. But Aige began to care about other people's values of good and evil, and seemed to be very happy to play with them... From a certain perspective, this can also be regarded as building one's own happiness on the suffering of others?
Right now, Lin Yueru believes that Nie Xiaoqian's crime does not deserve the death penalty, and Zhao Linger feels the same way, not to mention Ning Caichen. Only Fang Zheng has not expressed his opinion yet.
"Father, what do you think?"
"Um……"
Facing Ai Ge's questioning, Fang Zheng decisively flipped through the Criminal Law.
"According to Article 28 of the Criminal Law: Those who are coerced into participating in a crime shall be given a lighter or freed punishment according to the circumstances of their crime. The reason for this is that those who are coerced into participating in a crime are subjectively passive in committing the crime. As accomplices who are forced to participate in the crime, they have a negative attitude towards the harmful consequences that may result from the crime and do not want the harmful consequences to occur. However, in order to protect their own or others' lives and property safety, they have to make threats..."
"Is this really okay, Father?"
“Nothing is perfect in this world.”
Facing Aige's question, Fangzheng shrugged.
"There is no law that can give everyone fairness, and there can be no happy ending. Simply put, justice and law are in the hearts of the people. Whatever you want to do... it's up to you."
"Yes, father."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Aige blinked, then she looked again at Nie Xiaoqian who was kneeling in front of her.
"Although you were indeed forced to kill, you did kill quite a few people after all, so I decided... to keep you by my father's side as a servant."
