For the monks, this seems to be a difficult choice.
The monks have the people of the world in their hearts. When they embark on this path, they consciously put the people of the world in their hearts.
This is especially true for Cheng Yu.
He was born into a family of cultivators, and the mortal world was very far away from him.
It can even be said that Cheng Yu doesn't care about the life and death of mortals at all.
But Cheng Yu couldn't do it.
The education he received since childhood told him that he must never look down on mortals just because he is a monk.
Although mortals cannot move mountains and fill the sea, or go up the sky and down the river with their own bodies, they can do many things that monks can do with their hands.
Mortals are weak and monks are strong, so monks should protect mortals.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
"Big Brother, what should we do now?"
There were disciples from Wanjianmen looking at Chengyu.
Cheng Yu gritted her teeth.
If they don't break the formation, they will be blocked outside Jingcheng and unable to advance even a single step. If they break the formation...
He looked in the direction of the mortals.
Then we must use the blood of these mortals as a sacrifice.
"Break the formation."
Before Cheng Yu could make a decision, Venerable Xuan Ji spoke sternly.
"Your Excellency!"
Cheng Yu exclaimed, "What about those mortals?"
“Something has to be sacrificed.”
Venerable Xuanji glanced at Chengyu.
This is a person who can maintain the status quo, but is definitely not suitable for expanding territory.
If the world of cultivation is peaceful and calm, he would be the best leader.
However, once the war breaks out in the world of cultivation, Cheng Yu will no longer be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
He is too kind and should not live in troubled times.
"You are not fit to be the head."
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly. How could he not know that he was not suitable?
Of course he knew that he was not suitable to be the leader of the Holy Mist Sect at this time, but now everything was difficult to turn around.
“Cheng Yu follows the teachings of the Venerable, but Venerable, I want to try.”
He looked at Venerable Xuanji and said, "Even if it means martyrdom, I still want to give it a try."
"I want to try a double-edged sword."
Venerable Xuanji looked at Chengyu.
"Breaking the formation directly is the easiest way."
"But I don't want to, Your Excellency. Give me three days. If..." Cheng Yu gritted her teeth, "If I can't find a way to achieve both within three days, I will break the formation with Your Excellency."
He didn't want to declare the life or death of others without even trying. He wanted to try, even if it meant martyrdom.
"Your value is much higher than theirs."
Venerable Xuanji continued.
It is these mortals who died today, and it will not have any impact on them.
But Cheng Yu is their important fighting force now. If Cheng Yu dies here, it will be a huge loss for them.
"Your Excellency, life has never been about value."
Cheng Yu shook her head. "Whether they are mortals or cultivators, as long as they are human, they are all the same."
In the eyes of Venerable Xuanji, interests are important, but in Chengyu's eyes, they are definitely not.
"No wonder you don't like him."
Venerable Xuanji glanced at Si Lingfeng.
The latter didn't look back, but said in a cold voice, "We are not on the same path."
She is somewhat similar to Venerable Xuanji, but is completely opposite to Chengyu.
It was like Cheng Yu saw her about to fall into the quagmire and wanted to reach out to save her, but then he found out that she would only drag everyone down with her.
But her redemption had already arrived.
The cultivators who followed were also discussing the matter. Some had similar ideas to Cheng Yu, while others wanted to break the formation quickly.
If they didn't have to choose, they would naturally save the mortal, but now they have a dilemma, which has caused people to disagree.
"Then you are still willing to help him?"
Venerable Xuanji looked at Si Lingfeng who was busy working with Cheng Yu.
"They are willing to do so."
Si Lingfeng pointed at the other people who were busy running around. Many of these people were clamoring to break the formation.
But now, when Cheng Yu was looking for a way to achieve both, no one really refused.
It seems as if they are also pursuing a way to have the best of both worlds.
This is a monk.
Be worthy of heaven above and earth below.
Looking up, I am worthy of the sky; looking down, I am worthy of the earth.
Standing in this world, we should be worthy of the people and the world.
Three days is not a long time, it can even be said to be extremely short. When Cheng Yu felt that he had not done anything, three days had already passed.
"Break the formation."
Venerable Xuanji looked at Chengyu.
"Break the formation."
Cheng Yu forced a smile.
A large group of them worked hard for three days and three nights, but they couldn't find a real solution that would have the best of both worlds. Although they could minimize the losses as much as possible, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.
Someone has to die.
"Let's get into the formation."
Venerable Xuanji looked at Chengyu with pity.
This is also a pitiful man. When everything is powerless, he can only be described as pitiful.
Si Lingfeng saw a female cultivator wiping her tears, then half-knelt on the ground, muttering something, as if she was praying for salvation.
Several male and female nuns followed and half-knelt down. Some of them were crying, while others had red eyes.
Each of them exuded a sense of sadness.
They were grieving for their own powerlessness and for the mortals who were about to die.
"What kind of existence is a monk?"
"Although I have come to realize the vastness of the universe, I still feel pity for the green grass and trees."
They have seen the vast world and have long lives, but they are still moved by those weak and fragile lives.
After a while, the monks entered the formation one after another.
