Just as Doug expected.
Liao Jiulong flew the sword to an empty uninhabited area and suddenly stopped the sword.
The two disciples had no idea what was going on.
Looking at Liao Jiulong who looked in pain, Liu Ziyun looked concerned: "Master, what happened to you? Are you seriously injured?"
"Ziyun, Ziming, don't blame your master..." Liao Jiulong looked at his two disciples deeply, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Suddenly, he made a gesture and swung his sword. The sword light like a stream of silk enveloped the two disciples.
"Master." Seeing the master suddenly attack them, Liu Ziyun was frightened and his body stiffened for a moment. It was too late to dodge.
Du Ziming reacted quickly. The moment he saw the sword light, he hurriedly flew backwards, but his speed was no faster than the sword light.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when the sword light was about to reach Liu Ziyun's throat, a black curtain enveloped them and once again trapped the three people in it, saving Liu Ziyun and the other two from Liao Jiulong's sword light.
at the same time.
Doug's smiling voice exploded in the ears of the three people at the same time: "Liao Jiulong, this is the ultimate test of your humanity, and you lose again."
This time, the dark power did not separate the three people.
In the thick darkness, Doug deliberately opened a window for them so that the moonlight above could shine on each person individually.
Under the Tyndall effect, the expressions on the three people's faces are particularly wonderful.
Liu Ziyun and Du Ziming looked at Liao Jiulong in disbelief. Liu Ziyun burst into tears: "Master, you wanted to kill us just now?"
Du Ziming's gaze was like a knife piercing Liao Jiulong's face. He clenched his fists and said viciously, "Junior sister, he is not our master."
Liao Jiulong looked at the two disciples opposite him, and then thought about what he had just done. He was at a loss. Doug's voice kept echoing in his mind, "You lost again, you lost again..."
Human nature? Is my human nature so despicable? Poof! With his mind agitated, Liao Jiulong spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face was pale and he looked like he had aged ten years. Liao Jiulong looked at the two disciples opposite him and wanted to explain. He moved his lips and jaw a few times but didn't know what to say.
at last.
A mocking smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly raised his hand and slashed the sword across his neck.
Douger controlled the dark power in time and stopped his flying sword.
The flying sword stopped just an inch in front of Liao Jiulong's throat. He exerted his strength twice, but the flying sword did not move at all.
He simply let go of the flying sword and raised his palm to slap the top of his head, but his hand was pulled back again.
Can't even die!
Liao Jiulong collapsed instantly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept the weird posture of slapping his palms to the top of his head, and screamed in despair: "Old thief, what on earth do you want to do? Do you think it's fun to play with me?"
"Hey, I'm behind you, you called the wrong place."
Doug coughed lightly and gave a kind reminder.
Liao Jiulong's voice stopped abruptly, the muscles on his face twitched constantly, and a belly full of indignation was forced back into his stomach.
At this time, he couldn't just turn around and shout at the person behind him!
Liao Jiulong's pain and despair originally infected Liu Ziyun and the others, making them feel sympathy for their master, but Du Ge's unreasonable words instantly dispelled their sympathy.
The expressions of the two were frozen on their faces, not knowing whether to be sad or happy...
"You old thief, you are going too far!" Liao Jiulong's dignity and face were pressed to the ground and trampled by Doug. Two lines of tears silently slid down his cheeks, "Kill me, kill me!"
Alas! With a sigh! Du Ge said: "Liao Jiulong, is this unbearable? Do you know what I have experienced?"
"Kill me, kill me." Liao Jiulong was completely dazed and kept muttering the same sentence over and over again. His will had been completely destroyed by Doug.
"I used to be a positive and sunny monk with a strong sense of justice. I believed that everything in the world was beautiful. I exorcised demons and saved the dying and the wounded in the world..."
Doug's voice was filled with sadness and despair, "But because of a nine-colored golden lotus, my fellow brother plotted against me from behind and killed me, but he didn't know that I had intended to pick that golden lotus and give it to him to heal his wounds.
I was seriously injured but not dead, and considering that my senior brother's physique was not as good as mine, I did not intend to pursue his fault;
But my senior brother was afraid that the scandal would be exposed, so he filed a complaint first, falsely accusing me of stealing the golden lotus. My master didn't ask any questions and locked up my cultivation. He sent me to the Cliff of Repentance, and made me suffer from the raging fire every day, under the euphemism of refining my mind.
But in the end, my beloved master only wanted to take out my supreme bone and replace it with his precious son. The so-called refining of the heart was just to make my supreme bone more transparent...
Man proposes, God disposes. The Supreme Bone was roasted by the fire every day, but I actually realized a magical power from it. Even my master is no match for me.
Knowing they couldn’t do anything to me, they pretended to be nice to me, punished my senior brother who framed me, pretended to please me, and promised to marry my beloved. But on the wedding night, she, whom I trusted the most, personally gave me a cup of poisoned wine…”
All three were attracted by Doug's story.
Liu Ziyun's eyes sparkled with tears: "How pitiful, did you drink the poisoned wine?"
"Will you be on guard against your lover?" Doug sneered, "After drinking that cup of poisoned wine, I lost all my cultivation. My good master dug out my supreme bone with his own hands. Not only that, they were afraid that their conspiracy would be exposed, so they wanted to grind my bones to ashes and kill my soul..."
Liu Ziyun was shocked: "What happened next? How did you escape?"
"Escape. The sect had laid a net of heaven and earth. How could I escape? I hated the injustice of the world, the selfishness of people, and the darkness of human nature... Then, I became possessed." Doug's voice turned flat. "After I became possessed, I slaughtered everyone in the sect. That night, the sect was as dark as ink, and blood flowed like a river. No one could escape."
"Good, well done!" Du Ziming said angrily, "These scumbags deserve to be killed."
"What happened next? What happened after you killed the people from the sect?" Liu Ziyun asked, "Did you become what you are now? Did you also kill the people from Longliu Villa?"
"What's a mere Longliu Villa?" Douge snorted. "After I became a demon, I hated this world. I wanted to kill everyone in it. No one could survive where I went. I would kill gods and Buddhas. I would kill everyone until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and all living things would suffer..."
"No, since you killed so many people, why have I never heard of you?" Liu Ziyun interrupted Doug and asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of the Supreme Bone, have you ever heard of the Nine-Colored Golden Lotus?" Doug asked.
Liu Ziyun shook his head.
"The world I wreaked havoc on is too far away from now. At that time, there was no Heaven, no Buddha, no Daozu..." Du Ge sneered, "No, there is Daozu. If it weren't for Daozu, this world would have returned to nothingness."
"Daozu?" Liu Ziyun exclaimed, "Are you from the same era as Daozu?"
"That's about right!" Du Ge said sadly, "Dao Zu is a brilliant genius. Without him, this world would have been destroyed by me."
"Was it Daozu who defeated you?" Du Ziming asked subconsciously.
"Yes, he defeated me, but he couldn't kill me because I represent the ultimate evil in the world. I have become a true demon. As long as evil still exists in the world, I will never truly die."
Du Ge said, "All Daozu can do is to use his great magical powers to wear away my magic power and throw me into the reincarnation cycle, so that I can continue to reincarnate in this world, hoping that the truth, goodness and beauty of the world can awaken my mind."
A moment of silence.
Liao Jiulong and the other two held their breath at the same time. The news revealed by Duger was too shocking. They could not imagine that the demon who trapped them was actually a contemporary of Daozu.
But is what he said true?
If he really was a demon that needed Daozu to suppress, it seemed that his ability was a bit too weak! Especially Liao Jiulong, he remembered the knife that chopped at his neck.
The force of the knife was so weak that it didn't even cut off his head.
He was frightened by the dark power before. Now thinking about it, what happened just now was full of unreasonable things. The other party's Jindan Zhenren's cultivation level was also made up by his imagination...
"Senior, are you really from the same period as Daozu?" Liu Ziyun asked cautiously.
"Do you think my strength is too weak?" Doug chuckled and dispersed the dark power that enveloped him, revealing his true form as a child.
"You..." Liao Jiulong and the other two were stunned at the same time. No one had expected that the man who called himself old man and had been playing with them for such a long time would be a child.
"I reincarnate once every hundred years. Every time I reincarnate, I have to accumulate demonic energy from the beginning. In this life, I have just awakened my spiritual wisdom, and I have expended my original power to summon three thousand demons from another world, using them to disrupt this world. Do you still think I am weak now?" Doug looked around at the three people and said lightly.
"Were the evil spirits in the troubled times brought here by you?" Liao Jiulong asked in a lost voice.
"Why are you doing this? You have clearly recovered your sanity and memory?" Liu Ziyun asked.
"Yes, Daozu is obviously helping you." Du Ziming asked.
"Help me?" Doug snorted coldly, "That old guy is clearly harming me. He wants to destroy me in this endless cycle of reincarnation. I've had enough of this kind of life..."
He pointed at Liao Jiulong and said sarcastically, "Moreover, for billions of years, the world is still full of evil people like this. Once they are slightly deceived by me, they will kill their loved ones and relatives. Human nature is evil. Is there really a need for such a world to exist?"
"..." Liao Jiulong opened his mouth, speechless.
"He is your most trusted master. For his own benefit, he wants to kill you with his own hands. Don't you hate him?" Du Ge turned to Liu Ziyun and the other man, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't you want to kill him with your own hands?"
"I..." Liu Ziyuan looked at his master with a struggling look on his face.
Du Ziming remained silent.
He looked at Liao Jiulong, then at Doug, and suddenly understood where his hatred came from.
Being betrayed by his own master and lover, and having the Supreme Bone dug out, he must have been heartbroken!
That is why he has to replay the pain he has experienced in this world over and over again, but those who have not experienced the test of human nature have deepened their disgust for this world time and time again.
When he was suppressed by the Dao Ancestor and reincarnated again and again and was powerless to resist, he did not hesitate to consume his own essence and summon the demons from other worlds to destroy the world with their help!
Alas! Du Ziming sighed heavily.
If there is really a master who passes the test and allows this demon to see the beauty of the world, the hostility in his heart will be truly eliminated! Perhaps this is the original intention of the Taoist Ancestor to let him reincarnate...
However, human nature is too fragile and cannot withstand the test! After hesitating for a moment, Du Ziming said: "Senior, Master has been very kind to me. Even if he really wants to kill me, I will not do it to him."
"..." Liao Jiulong was stunned and looked at Du Ziming guiltily.
"That's not what you said just now." Du Ge laughed, "I heard you tell Junior Sister with my own ears that he is not your master. Moreover, when you said this, your eyes were full of hatred. I know what that look means. Du Ziming, your master cannot move now. Go and kill him, and I will let you go..."
"Brother, don't!" Liu Ziyun said anxiously, "If you kill Master, you really won't be able to leave. He wants us to kill each other."
"I know." Du Ziming sighed and nodded.
"Senior, please let us go. I know you have a lot of bitterness in your heart, but Daozu has no ill intentions." Liu Ziyun looked at Du Ge and tried to persuade him, "There are still many good people in this world."
"Good guy?" Doug sneered and was about to speak.
Suddenly, his facial features twisted rapidly, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was serene and peaceful.
Doug looked at the three people in front of him and said softly, "Three Taoist friends, don't be afraid. I am not the devil just now. I will not hurt you..."
Talking.
He glanced at Liao Jiulong and released the dark power's grip on him, causing his palm that was aimed at his crown to fall back.
"Evil demon, what tricks are you going to play now?" Having died once, Liao Jiulong no longer thought about seeking death again. Moreover, his evil thoughts had been suppressed. He stared at the scheming Doug and angrily scolded, "Come to me if you have anything to say. Don't bewitch my two disciples."
"Don't panic, Fellow Daoist Liao. I'm really not him." Doug looked at Liao Jiulong apologetically, sighed, and said, "No, to be precise, I am also him. I am the good thoughts in his heart that were awakened by Daozu."
"Humph." Liao Jiulong snorted, not believing what he said. He looked at his two disciples, "Ziyun, Ziming, your master is ashamed of you and does not ask for your forgiveness. But listen to your master's words, close your eyes and ears, don't listen to any temptations of this evil demon, and stick to your original heart, so you can survive this disaster. This demon is very weak and can't hurt us, so he will try every means to lead us to kill each other."
“Fellow Daoist Liao, do you know why Daozu wants to let my evil thoughts continue to reincarnate in this world? Since Daozu can send me into reincarnation, and he can’t kill me, can’t he seal me?” Du Ge smiled and said, “But why does he want to let me continue to reincarnate in this world?”
"I won't listen to any more of your instigation." Liao Jiulong looked alert.
"Because the world needs demons."
Doug looked around at the three of them and smiled, "As long as there is evil in this world, the devil will always be there. Even if I am sealed, other devils will still grow. Just as light and darkness coexist in this world, the world will be incomplete without either of them."
Douger stretched out his hand and used the power of the sun and darkness to form a rotating Tai Chi diagram. "All things are accompanied by yin and yang. You are in me and I am in you. Opposition and unity, correspondence and embrace, mutual dependence, complementation, symbiosis, without beginning and without end, opposites complement each other, this is Tai Chi."
Liao Jiulong and the other two were stunned again when they looked at the Tai Chi diagram of yin and yang.
It has to be said that there are so many profound truths contained in the Tai Chi diagram.
"If Daozu represents the light side, then there is also a devil in his heart." Doug pointed to the dark divine power in the Yang fish of the Tai Chi diagram, and then he pointed to the sun divine power in the Yin fish, "And I am the good thought in the devil's heart. He and I are two sides of the same coin. You don't have to worry that I will hurt you."
"Two sides of the same coin?" Liu Ziyun widened his eyes in surprise, as if he had discovered the world's biggest secret that night.
"Yes, good intentions." Doug smiled gently, "Let's go back to what happened earlier. Why did Daozu allow the demons to reincarnate in the world? He did not do this to destroy the world, but to better promote the development of the world."
The three of them frowned.
Du Ge looked at Liao Jiulong and said, "Fellow Daoist Liao, if you had restrained the evil thoughts in your heart just now and not been taken advantage of by the inner demon, or if you had defeated the evil thoughts in your heart, then your Dao heart would be extremely firm. This is the tempering of the Heavenly Demon Heart. In the future, your path of cultivation will definitely be smooth."
He shook his head. "What a pity..."
"..." Liao Jiulong was stunned, and annoyance instantly filled his entire face. He swallowed his saliva, "Senior, is there any way to remedy this?"
Doug looked at him and shook his head regretfully: "No, even if there is, you can't get through it with your determination, and you might even fall into the devil's way. It's better for you to quit the cultivation world from now on, go to the mortal world to be a rich man, and live your life leisurely."
Quit the spiritual world?
Have all my decades of cultivation been in vain?
I am so unwilling!
Liao Jiulong was sweating profusely. He swallowed hard and said, "Senior, please tell me. Let me try. Maybe I can succeed! I have practiced for thirty years and I don't want to return to the mortal world. Please teach me..."
Douger shook his head: "Your mind has been disturbed by the devil, and your path to cultivation has been cut off. Give up!"
"Please save me, senior." Liao Jiulong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Douge. "Senior, please be merciful. Considering that it is not easy for me to practice, please give me a chance."
Doug remained unmoved.
"Please save me, senior." Liao Jiulong continued to kowtow, and soon, a large red spot appeared on his forehead.
Alas! Du Ge sighed again, and controlled the dark power to lift him up: "Fellow Daoist Liao, your Dao heart has been destroyed. It will be difficult to rebuild your Dao heart."
"No matter how difficult it is, I'm willing to give it a try." Liao Jiulong said.
"Maybe he will fall into the devil's way." Doug said.
"If I fall into the evil path, please kill me, senior." The muscles at the corners of Liao Jiulong's eyes twitched a few times, and he said firmly.
"Follow the demon, let him drive you, watch him play tricks on the world, and go through all kinds of disasters. If you can still find your original heart, then your Tao heart will be solid." Du Ge looked at Liao Jiulong and sighed again, "Fellow Daoist Liao, you have experienced the horror of the demon yourself. Do you really want to take this path? This is the most difficult path of cultivation in the world..."
