Chapter 193 Confusion
Here it comes again. Ding Jing Zhenren always felt that he had experienced this kind of depressed mood once recently, and his breath was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down.
He calmly reached out to support his long beard, calming himself. Together with Luo Xuanyi within him, he gazed down at the unharmed Ghost Buddha lying on the ground. A smooth cut appeared on the Ghost Buddha's monk's robe on his back, signifying that Master Dingjing's sword intent had clearly pierced through him.
Just now they also saw the Ghost Buddha being pierced head-on. In the Taoist realm of Ding Jing Zhenren, no trick could avoid the sword intent, not to mention that this was the Sun Sword in the Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique that was specially used to kill evil.
Either the ghost Buddha statue Luo Xuanyi is a cunning cultivator who is not restricted by the laws of nature in judging right and wrong, good and evil. There is only one other possibility.
Ghosts and Buddhas are not evil, and cannot even be considered as evil in a vague sense.
According to the judgment of heaven, ghosts and Buddhas are good.
This is the only reason that can explain why the Demon Buddha was hit by the Sun Sword but suffered no real damage, but this is too strange.
Before the Ghost Buddha broke the seal, he had caused the entire area within a hundred miles of Longlan City to collapse, mountains to crumble, vegetation to die, and spiritual energy to be extracted and transformed into evil energy. This was already considered a world-shattering level of harm as defined by the Fuwen Tower, and it was impossible to be judged as anything other than evil.
If we insist that this happened before the seal was lifted, perhaps the cause and effect could be attributed to the seal's creator. However, after the seal was broken, the Ghost Buddha had indeed used his evil energy to attack Longlan City's restrictions. If the restrictions were broken, the 120,000 people in Longlan City would have perished. Could such malicious murderous intent not be judged evil by the laws of nature?
That's enough.
True Man Ding Jing and Luo Xuanyi were both tired of the endless speculation. "Chase him. Even if he's not evil, he's at least a real entity. Don't try to test him with conceptual tactics," Luo Xuanyi commanded decisively.
Zhenren Dingjing was already accustomed to Luo Xuanyi's orders, but he hesitated for a moment, as he also had his own selfish motives.
If his reckless pursuit failed again, the monks in Longlan City would inevitably weaken their reverence for him, unless he could finally defeat the Ghost Buddha. However, upon first sight of the Ghost Buddha, he made the same judgment as Luo Xuanyi—it was impossible to completely defeat the Ghost Buddha.
If they had to fight, Longlan City would surely be destroyed by the aftermath. He still retained some righteousness in his heart to protect mortals, and unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to completely sacrifice 120,000 lives.
Just as he was hesitating, the ghost Buddha lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, moved his fingers slightly.
His fingers twitched as he gripped the ground, and a clump of earth rose in the ghost Buddha's palm, which seemed to stimulate him. He sat up as if he had just woken up from a dream, holding the earth in his hand.
He lowered his head, looked at the soil in his palm, and said nothing.
Luo Xuanyi did not sense any emotions from the Ghost Buddha. He was like a mindless puppet. You could not get any additional information from him to peek into his body.
However, compared with the ghost Buddha that Luo Xuanyi had seen before, the differences can still be seen.
Although the previous ghost Buddha was empty, there was a kind of madness in his emptiness, and the evil energy in his body that was not restrained at all brought with it a powerful aggressive oppression.
But now, after the Ghost Buddha awakened, his evil spirit remained intact, precisely unleashing not a single drop of energy. His hollow now resembled a deep well. Looking down, you could see only darkness and the damp, cold moss on the stone walls. Below, there was nothing. There might be well water, or just rotting leaves and mud, or perhaps nothing at all.
This situation made Luo Xuanyi feel even more dangerous.
The Ghost Buddha sighed, and the entire Longlan City seemed to tremble.
Luo Xuanyi had a premonition, and she whispered to Master Ding Jing, "He's leaving."
How is that possible? Ding Jing Zhenren wanted to refute this, but he saw the ghost Buddha's action.
The ghost Buddha raised his head and looked at Ding Jing Zhenren in the sky. Suddenly, he stood up with a smile, clasped his hands together, and bowed devoutly to Ding Jing Zhenren.
Zhenren Dingjing subconsciously used sword light to defend himself, but did not sense any attacking aura. The Ghost Buddha really bowed to him.
Just like the ascetic monks from the three major religious regions he had seen walking here, he had a calm smile on his face. No matter whether he was to the rich who spent a fortune on travel expenses or to the ordinary people who kindly gave him a piece of steamed bun, he would bow with his hands together and slightly lean forward with the same gratitude.
Then, turn around and leave.
As everyone watched silently, the Ghost Buddha took off the sleeves of his black monk's robe and tied it around his waist, then walked towards the south, stepping slowly on the ground with his feet.
What on earth had happened? This thought occurred to everyone at the same time.
It's done~ It's a very unaccomplished victory hah
