Myths Begin From Boys' Gong
Chapter 2558 Entanglement
Not only Meng Zhao thought so, the woman who just accused the old monk also thought so. Even if you have been possessed by a demon, even if you are different from the past, you are still an old lover after all, and she loves you deeply. Is it necessary to be so bloody and cruel?
Others probably had similar ideas. The devil was the devil, and the madman was the madman. The devil at least still had reason and could be communicated with and even cooperated with, but the madman was a completely unstable factor and no one knew when he would go crazy!
"That's right, Yiheng, even if you have given up Buddhism and turned to evil, you shouldn't have attacked Wanyun. After so many years, even if there is no love, there is still friendship. Why do this?"
The old Taoist priest was also heartbroken. He and the old monk had the deepest friendship. After all, among the eight people, only the two of them had cultivated to the level of grandmaster. Correspondingly, they were more familiar with each other, communicated more, and naturally had the deepest feelings.
In his impression, his old friend seemed to be very secretive about his past relationship, but he did not deny it. Could it be that there was some inside story that they, as outsiders, did not know?
"Hahaha, Xuanwei, you and I have known each other for so many years and can be considered close friends, but how much do you know about my past?
Do you know why I became a monk and practiced Buddhism?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest called Xuanwei was speechless. It was true that the old monk he made friends with and knew had already entered Buddhism, practiced Buddhism, and achieved superior Buddhist martial arts. However, he had never really understood why the other party became a monk.
After all, except for some people who are born Buddhists or people who are born to be Buddhists, most people may be interested in Buddhism, but almost none of them will actually shave their heads and join Buddhism. After all, there are too many rules in Buddhism, and for some people, they are too restrictive.
There is no doubt that Yiheng should not be someone who joined Buddhism just because of his admiration for Buddhism, because the old Taoist priest knew very well that although the old monk's Buddhist practice was indeed extraordinary, it was an additional effect brought about by years of accumulation, the influence of Buddhism, and his excellent talent and endowment, as well as the cultivation of superior Buddhist magic skills.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a person to abandon everything, give up wealth and glory, and join Buddhism, unless something unexpected happens.
The old Taoist priest Xuanwei was almost certain in an instant that this change was probably closely related to emotions, or even caused by Wanyun.
Only in this way could the old monk have always felt resentful in his heart, but because of practicing Buddhism and letting go of the past, he was able to achieve a seemingly peaceful relationship with Wanyun.
However, now that the old monk has turned from a Buddhist into a demon, the entanglements that he once let go may only contribute to the demon's monstrous arrogance. In this case, it is not surprising that he would commit such brutal and cruel acts.
To put it bluntly, although I had let go in the past, I was still far from understanding it. I just relied on my profound Buddhist practice to suppress my mood.
However, as the old saying goes, it is better to release than to block. The heavier the pent-up emotions, the greater the backlash will be in the future.
Wan Yun’s current experience can most likely be seen as a backlash after the old monk became possessed by a demon.
"Back then, was it Wanyun who did something to let you down?"
Xuanwei could only guess this way. He didn't dare to guarantee whether it was accurate, but this was probably the truth.
Sure enough, the old monk, who had been possessed by the devil, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly.
“Yes, I was childhood sweethearts with this bitch and had already been engaged. I also loved her deeply and was cautious about etiquette. If things had gone according to plan, we should have been a couple of gods in the eyes of ordinary people and lived a happy life.
However, it is difficult to draw a tiger's skin and bones, and you can know a person's face but not his heart.
This bitch had an affair with a man behind my back, and I accidentally found out about it, so I resolutely gave up everything and devoted myself to Buddhism. "
Everyone else was shocked, even the woman who had previously accused the old monk. She had never expected that her close friend would have such a shameful past. It was simply, simply, unbearable to look at.
Meng Zhao, on the other hand, didn't have any special reaction to this. He probably had already guessed the reason.
"Impossible. Wanyun and I have always been good friends. For so many years, she has never had close contact with a man and developed a relationship. If she is not deeply in love with you, how could this happen?"
The woman still couldn't believe it, so she argued.
The main reason was that she thought she knew the woman named Wanyun very well, but she didn't expect that they were just superficial sisters, which was a little hard to accept.
The old monk laughed.
"As for feelings, of course there is. When I suddenly regretted the engagement, she was naturally very confused and even went to the temple where I was practicing at the time to interrogate me. I did not hide anything and told her everything I had done. She was speechless and left without any excuses. She just said sorry to me before leaving.
As for what she thought afterwards, I don’t care and I don’t pay attention, but it should have nothing to do with me. Even if she really has never had a relationship again, it should be related to that man. "
Meng Zhao couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
"Excuse me, since you found out that your hair was dyed green, why didn't you take revenge? Instead, you just left in disgrace and hid in Buddhism. Don't you have any manly character at all?"
Meng Zhaoke really couldn't understand this guy's behavior.
After all, in the demon-free world of the previous life, there were many cases of passion killings among ordinary people without any supernatural powers if they were cuckolded. How could this old monk let go so easily without even a hint of thanks?
This can no longer be described as cowardly, it's simply being a coward.
With such a mentality, one can still cultivate to the level of a grandmaster. It's simply God's fault.
The possessed old monk glanced at Meng Zhao, his eyes still showing 60% to 70% fear, dread, and 30% to 40% hatred, and said,
"When I learned about this, of course I wanted to kill the adulterous couple, but I encountered a problem and lost all my martial arts. I had no choice but to join Buddhism and use a Da Huan Dan from Buddhism to recover.
Later, as I was influenced by Buddhism every day, I became indifferent to these matters between men and women.
Instead, I feel fortunate.
Fortunately, I discovered it early, and it's not too late to sever the emotional ties. Otherwise, if we really got married, became husband and wife, or even had children, that would be troublesome."
Meng Zhao and the others understood. So that's the case. No wonder.
But this old monk named Yiheng was really unlucky. When he found out that his fiancée had put a hat on his head, he wanted to take action, but something went wrong. He didn't know if there was some conspiracy.
Could it be that Yun and the adulterer wanted to do what Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian did that night to poison Wu Dalang, so they specially gave the old monk medicine to disperse his power?
But it doesn’t make sense. If that were the case, the other party would never give the old monk a chance to recover.
“The past is like smoke, I thought I had let it go long ago, even the hatred, resentment, sneer and disdain I once had.
However, today, I have gone from Buddha to devil, which made me realize that the hatred and resentment I once had did not really disappear, but were only deeply embedded in the depths of my soul. Until today, when I opened the shackles and returned to myself, I knew how to please myself! "
In fact, Meng Zhao believed that the old monk's current appearance was definitely not the same as his temperament when he was young, but he had simply shifted from one extreme to another.
In between the two extremes of Buddhism and Demonism, this should be the appearance and character of the old monk when he was young. Unfortunately, once you enter Buddhism, it is like entering a deep sea. Similarly, once you enter Demonism, there is no turning back.
Others now understood and appreciated the resentment and unwillingness in the old monk Yiheng's heart. They might feel sorry for Wanyun's death, but they no longer regarded it as something unforgivable.
As a warrior, I think they will take revenge when they have a grudge, and they will take grudges when they have a grudge. Moreover, this is a grudge between two people, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene, and it is even more difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
They only hoped that Yiheng was simply venting his hatred, and not acting like a madman, killing innocent people for no reason, or even specifically targeting their former friends.
"So what are you going to do now? After killing Wanyun, are you going to commit more murders?"
The old Taoist Xuanwei sighed. They were already facing a powerful enemy, and now there was also Yiheng, who was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. The situation was too difficult.
In fact, they all knew very well that even if the eight of them united, they might not be able to defeat Meng Zhao.
Not to mention, now one of them is dead and the other is possessed by a demon.
Yiheng was also a little conflicted at this time. When he was possessed by a demon, he felt extremely happy. Anything he had ever wanted to do, he could do it in an instant. His demonic energy was lively and abundant, and he felt a joy and happiness he had never felt before.
However, facing Meng Zhao, he really didn't dare to jump too much.
Before he was possessed by a demon, he was holding a treasure and facing Meng Zhao, but was hit by a palm and vomited blood. Now, even though he has become much stronger and his combat power has increased a lot, he can never be Meng Zhao's opponent.
"Xuan Wei, we are facing a powerful enemy. If you believe me, why don't we all work together to resist him? Otherwise, you and I will fall into his hands and be at his mercy!"
As the old monk possessed the precious Buddha Heart Bead, and was a grandmaster, he had profound knowledge and extraordinary combat power, and he provided a lot of help in exploring the ancient battlefield.
However, this old Taoist priest Xuanwei also has some hidden cards and backup plans.
According to Yiheng's understanding, this old Taoist priest has a treasure hidden in the bottom of his box, and it is hard to say which is superior to the Buddha's Heart Bead.
But compared with his crude use of the Buddha's Heart Beads, which was unable to bring out its power, the old Taoist Xuanwei was definitely much stronger.
The reason why the old Taoist priest was very low-key along the way was, on the one hand, that Taoism emphasizes a low-key style such as tranquility, inaction, simplicity and truthfulness; on the other hand, it was his presence that made the old Taoist priest not think it necessary to use his trump card.
However, at this moment, facing a powerful enemy like Meng Zhao with unfathomable martial arts skills, it would be stupid to still think about hiding oneself.
After all, the Buddha's Heart Bead of the old monk Yiheng was taken away by Meng Zhao. If the old Taoist Xuanwei had any good things, I'm afraid they would not be able to escape Meng Zhao's clutches.
The remaining few people all turned their eyes to the old Taoist priest. At this time, he was the only grandmaster in their group besides Yi Heng, and he was not possessed by a demon. With their many years of friendship, he was the pillar and backbone of the group.
Everyone was convinced and willing to follow his judgment.
The old Taoist priest is now in a dilemma.
Let's talk about fighting with Meng Zhao. Let's not talk about whether Yiheng, who has been possessed by a demon, can be trusted. Even if he can be trusted, can they, a group of people who look powerful but are actually weaklings, really be the opponent of this young man?
It's not realistic to just surrender and try to let them go thanks to Meng Zhao's kindness.
Just as a simple example, Meng Zhao was able to snatch the Buddha's Heart Pearl from Yi Heng's hands. Doesn't that mean he is a kind-hearted person? Would he let them go so easily?
This is even less plausible than the previous idea.
"Xuanwei, let's fight. You and I have lived for so many years. This time we came to explore the ancient battlefield with the intention of never returning.
If I am plotted to death by this young man, it would be too aggrieved and depressing. It would be better to die in battle!"
All parts of human nature are the same. Among these eight people, there are many brave and fierce ones who are unwilling to live a life of insignificance and insignificance. At this time, they have a spirit of rather breaking than bending.
Of course, there are also people with a softer heart.
"Wait, Taoist Xuanwei, in my opinion, we don't have any deep hatred with this young man, why don't we take a step back?"
The man who was speaking was not young either. Although he had become a master, his aura was weak and it was obvious that he was a thing of the past. He had completely lost the spirit and ambition of a warrior. He would rather throw away his dignity as a warrior than do something that would surely lead to his death.
However, just as he finished speaking, the old monk Yiheng, who had been watching patiently, suddenly rushed in front of him and once again used his extremely powerful skills to shatter his protective true qi and pierce his chest.
Not only that, compared to before, this time he was consciously absorbing the man's essence and blood.
In just a moment, the blood and essence of a powerful master were sucked dry, and the whole person turned into a mummy and was thrown to the ground.
In contrast, Yiheng's face was flushed with rosy glow, and he looked like he was several years younger, with his energy and blood much more active.
Yiheng is not young anymore, and he used to behave like an old monk. He seemed so old that he would not live for many days, but in fact he was full of energy and had a long life ahead of him.
Otherwise, his body shape and appearance would not have changed after being possessed by the devil, becoming extremely powerful and tall.
This is a manifestation of its full vitality.
At this moment, he seemed to have understood the magic of the blood demon after being possessed by the devil. Whether it was the swallowing of blood before, or the absorption of essence and blood now, it was disgusting and looked eerie and terrifying.
"Yiheng, what are you doing?"
Xuanwei and others were horrified and looked at the old monk Yiheng with hostility.
The previous killing of Wan Yun was excusable as it involved the emotional entanglement between the two of them, but now killing again is not so easy to explain.
Several people even suspected that Yi Heng wanted to kill them all and use the secret magic to break through to the realm of heaven and man in order to deal with Meng Zhao.
This is more reliable than a few people working together to deal with Meng Zhaolai! (End of this chapter)
