Chapter 403: Blinded by a Leaf
Yuan Hao raised an eyebrow: "Princess Li, please ask."
Su Yue: "Master, since you know that they are corpse soldiers, do you know where they come from? Why do we keep them?"
Yuan Hao didn't expect Su Yue to ask such a question, how would he know.
His brow furrowed. "No matter where these corpses come from, Prince Li and Princess Li shouldn't be keeping them. They should be buried in peace. This is not a reason for you to keep them."
"It's so pedantic."
Su Yue shook her head and continued, "Master, don't jump to conclusions if you don't know. Did you know that two years ago, a severe drought struck the Northwest County of Xifeng Nation? You've traveled all over the world, so you should know about this, right?"
Yuan Hao nodded. Of course he knew this. He had also been to Northwest County. At that time, the disaster was very serious, with starving people everywhere, and the government did not care. Later, it was said that the King of Li and his wife were exiled there, and Northwest County was rescued.
Yuan Hao frowned. Could it be that those corpse soldiers were the victims who starved to death?
"These corpse soldiers are the victims who died of starvation. However, when we obtained them, they had already been transformed into corpse soldiers."
It is indeed so. But no matter what, the victims should be buried in peace. Otherwise, they will not be at peace even after death and will be exploited by the living.
Yuan Hao said coldly: "Since they are already corpse soldiers, why not destroy them?"
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should it be destroyed? When two countries go to war, aren't soldiers fighting on the battlefield with their flesh and blood? Whenever they go to the battlefield, there will be soldiers who die. Just like this time, there were a total of 100,000 soldiers in Qingniu Pass, but now there are only a little over 10,000 soldiers left, which means almost 90,000 people died.
Taoist priest, do you know how many families have lost sons, husbands, and fathers, and how many families have been broken apart because of these 90,000 soldiers who died in the battle?
The Taoist priest is a person who practices Taoism, and he cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world. Does he know how many families will be broken up and separated because of losing them?
If these 100,000 soldiers were actually 100,000 zombies, would the soldiers of my Xifeng Kingdom sacrifice even one person?
Since they are already zombies, why not use them? Why do we have to send living people to die on the battlefield?"
"this?"
Yuan Hao was speechless after Su Yue's impassioned speech. According to her approach, there would be no need for a single soldier to die.
But letting corpse soldiers go to the battlefield is against the will of heaven. When people die, they should be buried in peace and enter the next reincarnation. In this way, they cannot even enter reincarnation.
Yuan Hao still couldn't accept it for a moment, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, and fell into silence for a while.
What Su Yue said was the truth. Once two countries go to war, there will definitely be casualties among soldiers. When there are casualties among soldiers, families will be broken up. Many families will lose their pillars, which will lead to human tragedies.
It's not like he hasn't seen such a thing before.
Most of the families of those who were drafted into the army had strong laborers and pillars of the family. Once these people died in battle, many families faced the prospect of not being able to survive, and the family would be broken up and the wives and children would be separated.
"So, Taoist Priest, do you still think we should eliminate these zombie soldiers?"
Su Yue looked at the silent Yuan Hao, who seemed a bit aggressive. She hated people like him the most. They used the banner of justice but did not do just things. Instead, they stood on the moral high ground to accuse others.
Not recognizing the root of the problem and being self-righteous.
Yuan Hao held the dustpan in his hand and remained silent. He really had no way to answer Su Yue, and his helplessness turned into a long sigh.
Su Yue continued, "Master, have you ever thought that only by preventing the outbreak of war can there be no casualties?
When the corpse soldiers are no longer needed, it will be time to bury them.
But can we prevent wars from happening again?
Or should we rely on the Taoist priest's ability to stop it, or rely on our own abilities as husband and wife to stop it?"
"this?"
Yuan Hao was completely speechless after being asked by Su Yue. He smiled bitterly. How could he have such ability? He was just a wandering Taoist priest. With his little ability, he would help those who needed help, but he did not have the ability to stop the war.
"Forget it, forget it. I am a person from the outside world and should not be concerned with these worldly affairs. I am meddling in other people's affairs. I will take my leave now."
Yuan Hao stood up and bowed to Murong Li and Su Yue. He was obsessed with appearances and self-righteous. He thought he was an outsider, so he stood on the moral high ground to condemn others' wrongs.
How could he have the qualifications? How could he have the skills? His practice was still not enough. He only saw the surface and not the essence.
I'd better have a good retreat when I go back this time.
Murong Li gestured for him to sit down. "I will not do anything to you, Taoist priest. Why are you so anxious? I asked you to come here today to explain the matter. I also want to tell you that some things cannot be viewed with your so-called righteous perspective. It will only blind you to the truth."
The reason why I talked so much nonsense with Yuan Hao and didn't kill him directly to silence him was that killing him was easy, but the subsequent consequences would be troublesome and would attract further investigation.
If we explain it clearly to him, things will actually be simpler. At least he will restrain himself and not make a fuss about the corpse soldiers.
Yuan Hao insisted on standing. After hearing Murong Li's words, his ears burned. He bowed sincerely and said, "I am grateful for your advice. Prince Li has important matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you any longer. I only hope that you two can treat the people of the world with kindness in the future."
Although these two people are surrounded by purple aura and look like emperors and empresses, there is evil spirit hidden in their purple aura. If this evil spirit becomes stronger, it will intensify their killing, and in the end it will be the people of the world who will be harmed.
Yuan Hao still couldn't bear it and couldn't help but say this again.
The man was in a hurry to leave, so Murong Li didn't want to force him to stay, so he nodded and said, "Then I won't see you off, Taoist Priest. Goodbye."
The two knew the Taoist's abilities, so there was no need to send him away. Yuan Hao tore off a talisman and left quickly.
Su Yue stared blankly at the place where Yuan Hao disappeared. This awesome way of leaving was a level higher than Qinggong.
Murong Li pulled Su Yue: "Yu'er has come back to his senses, you want it, right?"
Su Yue nodded. This kind of good thing was most suitable for someone like her who would not be easily persuaded.
Murong Li chuckled, held her in his arms, and whispered, "He is a cultivator. Only cultivators like him can use those things. Even if he gave them to us, we wouldn't be able to use them."
Otherwise, I would have asked the Taoist priest to leave the things behind.
"Is that so? Forget it then."
So that's how it is. The unhappiness in Su Yue's heart disappeared.
As the saying goes, chickens have their own ways and dogs have their own ways. There is nothing that can be done about the fact that their ways are different and cannot be used interchangeably.
Presumably, the reason why the Taoist priest was able to block her mental attack was because of the yellow talisman paper he used.
Fortunately, it can only be used by people of the same kind. If ordinary people can use it, then her mental attack would be of little use.
