Chapter 367 Expand the story
All the craftsmen looked up to the sky and roared with joy. Looking at the rebirth spell that was gradually burning out, they wiped their faces and tears flashed in their eyes.
"It's done, it's done, little girl, you really have a bright future. Your technique of quenching the strange fire is not the most sophisticated I have ever seen, but it is the most spiritual and effective I have ever seen."
Su Mu and Du Shao were relieved. They smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.
After countless failures, the medicine liquid was finally refined successfully. While dissolving the evil demon body, it successfully retained the three souls and seven spirits in the demon fetus, allowing those people to be freed.
The most critical thing is Xia Tianwu's quenching. Without her, even if Lin Du brought back the pool of holy water, it would be useless.
Xia Tianwu just smiled at the compliments, "But without the precise dissection skills of the craftsman, the knowledge of these rare herbs, and the help of Senior Su and Fellow Daoist Du in spiritual medicine, we would not be able to do this job."
"You disciples of the big sects can't stand compliments?" The craftsman glanced at her, "Although young people should not be arrogant, they should not be too humble. Get rid of these empty words."
"Alright, alright, now that we've succeeded, are you going to hold a meeting? I say okay, don't mention my name, and don't let me go, just pretend I'm not here and I'm not involved."
He said, and turned and left, "I'll go sort out the herbs so that they can be mass-produced later. I'll make a list for you."
Xia Tianwu's eyes flickered when he heard that, and he turned around and smiled at Su Mu, thanked them sincerely, and then sent them to the other courtyard arranged by Junding Mansion to rest.
When everything was settled, she turned around and saw the feast in the courtyard.
She was dressed in red, with a thin and upright figure, wrapped in the dark night, like a gorgeous flower grown in the Styx that was said to be able to dissolve human flesh, revealing the tenacious vitality that had struggled out of death.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, haven't you rested yet?"
Xia Tian smiled lightly. She didn't smile often, but she looked really pretty when she did, like a night-blooming cereus that suddenly bloomed in the early morning, a moment that was also eternal.
"Yeah." Sheng Yan looked at her obviously in a very good mood and said, "Congratulations, have you developed a method to save the man-made evil demons?"
She knew that the Supreme Sect had not deliberately avoided her in many things these days.
Xia Tianwu nodded, "We have to thank Quan Jiangren for being our guide. He has covered areas that we rarely touch upon. The main plan, medicinal materials, and pathological structures were all researched by him."
She smiled, "It also made me realize that being too rigid is not a good thing sometimes."
"For us medical practitioners, it would be best if we can try our best to save people without hurting others."
Sheng Yan repeated what he said, "Is it really about saving people?"
Xia Tianwu thought for a moment, "Quan Jiangren is unruly. It is rumored that he can replace hearts, even Dantian and heads. If he saves a life, another will die. But in fact, most of the bodies are unintelligent monsters or highly skilled monsters who do evil."
"It cannot be said that his action is completely right. For us spiritual practitioners, all beings are equal, and human life is not higher than that of monsters. However, he is not as terrible as imagined, so... he does not care about other people's lives in vain."
"But there is another problem in this regard. Although Quan Jiangren can control himself not to use other people's things, it does not mean that others and people who want to cure diseases will not do so. If they are desperate, they will definitely cause harm uncontrollably. This is why this kind of magic is unorthodox and not the right way."
Shengyan nodded, "You are right."
Xia Tianwu, or the entire Wushang Sect, has a very clear mind. At first glance, they are well-educated righteous monks.
Although every time I meet them, their behavior is particularly eccentric, and they even look a little bit unlike righteous disciples, their concepts are all pure and upright.
"You must have heard of his reputation beforehand, how could you think of cooperating with a cultivator who is considered evil by the world? You were even criticized by outsiders because of this, and there are still criticisms to this day."
Shengyan was really curious. After all, even if the facts might not be as the rumors said, the result was certain.
Xia Tianwu shook his head, "Yes, we didn't completely believe it either, so we didn't cooperate unless necessary. If we did, we would keep him under control and never let any accidents happen."
"Then...what kind of person is he in your eyes?" Shengyan asked.
Xia Tianwu pondered for a moment, paused, and then said, "In terms of witchcraft, he is the pinnacle of this era. I didn't know it when I was young, but now, he has a clear self-awareness and is very sober. He is afraid of affecting our reputation and insists on not letting us publicize his contribution to this matter."
"Merits are merits, faults are faults. I don't know his past, but now in my opinion, he has merits. It is said that a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. If you judge by deeds, he must have faults."
She looked at Shengyan, "That's my answer."
Shengyan laughed when he heard it, "Thank you."
Xia Tianwu's answer was what she wanted most.
It was fair, objective, without any advice or personal emotions.
"You people in the Supreme Sect are really good." Shengyan said sincerely.
Xia Tianwu's voice was gentle, "I'm just answering my own thoughts. You are a very good person. Some things are a game between emotion and law."
"Just like witchcraft, saving people is the original intention, and harming people is a derivative."
"But my junior uncle said that many times, things that cannot be controlled may seem good to outsiders, but in fact they are bad for oneself. When a tragedy occurs, the world will only blame the individual, not the thing itself."
"That's probably why witch doctors are spurned by the times."
She paused, "I don't know why I mentioned this, I just thought of it for no reason."
Maybe it was because she finally accomplished a big thing with the strange fire today, so she thought of this sentence.
In the past, even the master thought that the strange fire was so good, and the inability to control it and cause the explosion was because she had not yet cultivated it well.
Even she suspected that it was her own fault, but only Lin Du said that it was the problem of the strange fire, not the problem of people.
The witch doctor was once prosperous, but was finally spurned by the times because of the endless bad things that could not be controlled by the witch doctor and violated the original intention.
"I think you are right." Shengyan laughed, "Knowing that my biological father is not that bad, I have nothing."
When you are young, you will always feel resentment, but when you grow up, you will finally be relieved by time. There are not so many knots in this world, and people should not be trapped by themselves.
The two of them looked up at the moon above their heads at the same time.
Today, it was a full moon.
Han Yueling stretched herself out on the roof, stretched herself out like a thin sheet, and comfortably absorbed the moonlight.
"Ah~ Moon~ Comfortable!"
On the other side, Lin Du finally walked out of the study after receiving the news, and faced his master's resentful face.
"You would rather stay in the study for seven days after you finish your work, and you don't dare to go back to me to admit your mistakes. What can I do to you?"
Yan Ye's voice was louder, and Lin Du was startled by the noise.
"Is it possible?" Lin Du touched his ear. "I'm really busy. Please listen to my explanation."
Yan Ye stood there with a cold face. "I don't want to listen."
Lin Du crossed his arms. "I found a shocking secret. Do you want to listen?"
Yan Ye coughed lightly. "Tell me more."
