Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 231: The Meaning of Purification; The Secret Volume
Five thousand years ago, the earth was in chaos and desolate. When foreign demons invaded, the people of the five continents were in danger.

Five great immortal ancestors suddenly appeared in the world. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. The immortal ancestors not only resisted external demons, but also created the immortal way for the human world.

Using the power of immortality to train monks, in the hope that future monks will be able to shoulder the responsibility of fighting against foreign demons for the five continents.

But in the past five thousand years, the demons from outside the realm have not been seen again. Instead, more difficult evil spirits have appeared to wreak havoc on the human world.

You Su had also learned from his master's wife that the most mainstream view at present is that the evil spirits are the remains left by external demons, which continue to corrode the land of the five continents.

At first, You Su thought that there was some research to support this, but now he realized that this might be an excuse for the monks from the five continents to continue their practice.

"The Immortal Ancestor taught us the way of immortality so that we can fight against external demons, not so that we can seek immortality. Immortality is just a bonus effect, and its essence is to make us stronger. But as time goes by, the cultivators have lost sight of the main goal and only seek immortality instead of strength. More and more cultivators hide away and practice hard, blindly pursuing realms. If they really want to kill the enemy, I'm afraid they would be afraid of even a chicken."

Huijun continued to explain her views, or rather the teachings of the Pure World Sect.

"And if the evil spirits are caused by the cultivators' practice, then there is no reason for the cultivators to continue practicing. But how could the cultivators give up this opportunity to transcend the mundane world? So they would avoid the first two assumptions and classify the evil spirits as the remnants of the external demons. Only in this way, it is correct for them to absorb the mysterious energy of heaven and earth, because the purpose of their practice complies with the wishes of the immortal ancestors, which is to fight against the evil spirits, that is, the external demons, and definitely not themselves."

You Su was immersed in the impact of the ideas given to him by the other party, and he felt his head buzzing.

"But what does this have to do with saving me?"

You Su took a deep breath and asked.

"You still don't understand?"

Mr. Hui placed his two white jade hands on the tea table, his whole body leaning forward, and the strange octopus on the veil seemed to come alive, with countless black tentacles dancing.

"God is not our enemy, not even the evil spirits. Our enemies are all the monks in the world!"

You Su took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time, finally digesting the shock:
"But this is just your speculation after all. There are many different opinions about the origin of the evil spirit, and there is no definitive conclusion yet. If the evil spirit is really the remnant of the foreign devil, then wouldn't the existence of your Pure World Sect become a joke?"

"Why do you think we have survived in the cracks for a thousand years? So that future generations will remember that it was us who saved them? Wrong!"

Gray's voice became passionate, and the clear and leisurely female voice suddenly turned into a rapid stream:
"We are here to make the Five Continents truly pure one day! So what if we are a joke? If we are a joke, it means that the Exorcism Bureau is right, and the Five Continents will also usher in light! So who is the joke between us and the Exorcism Bureau, and what does it matter?"

You Su stood there in a daze when he heard this. He was not like Fairy Wangshu who could see into people's hearts, but he could still sense the truth with a blind man's intuition.

This Gray Lord never mentioned his ideal, but every word he said was about his ideal. In order to purify the ideal of the secular world, they were willing to strive in a direction that no other monks wanted to strive for, and were even willing to become enemies with all the monks in the world.

What is even more shocking is that they themselves are also monks, but they are willing to cut off their own future for countless mortals.

"But how are you going to cut off the road to immortality? Can God help cut off the road to immortality? How can I ensure that you will not put away your bows and birds? You are also cultivators. What impact will cutting off the road to immortality have on you?"

You Su had too many doubts in his mind and could only vent them all out.

"You are not qualified to know how to cut it off." Gray Lord said calmly, "According to the inference of the source of evil spirits, the true god is either an external demon, or a cultivator's inner demon or a collection of filth. If you are really an external demon, then you will definitely die. But if you are the latter, after the cultivators disappear, the power of the true god will naturally dissipate. You are just a wandering demon, why should we kill you?
As for the impact…Since the creation of the immortal path, no one has ascended to heaven. Although they are called immortals, no one can be called a true immortal. The path to immortality is cut off, so my generation will be the last generation of cultivators. We will maintain the order of mortals and wait for the end of our lives.”

"So the Pure World Church is not a club for those who were eliminated by the Exorcism Bureau to comfort themselves. Just as you said, everything has two sides. The Pure World Church is the opposite of the Exorcism Bureau. You are the one who has to face the other truth that they dare not face."

You Su didn't know how to evaluate this organization. If what the other party said was true, it would be hard for him not to have some respect for them.

"You can indeed think of it this way. The Exorcist Bureau is the clothes that the Five Continents wear to cover their bodies, and we, the Pure World Sect, are the patch that fills the hole. We are not going against the Exorcist Bureau, we just want to prevent the people wearing the clothes from feeling cold."

Gray Jun leaned back and sat back on the armchair. She regained the relaxation she had when she first entered the room and said self-deprecatingly:

"But the Exorcist Bureau's golden robe cannot bear to see our torn patch on it."

You Su did not relax at all because of the other party's joke, but frowned even deeper:
"I have a most crucial question that I need you to answer. If you don't answer, I will not cooperate and may even crush this jade bead."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Su raised his right hand, and in his palm was the jade bead.

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became stagnant. Under the octopus veil, a pair of clear and bright eyes stared at the boy.

"ask."

"The Exorcism Bureau has a history of more than a thousand years. It is considered the most powerful organization in the Five Continents. How do you know about God, who even they don't know? You have even been searching for God for a thousand years."

"I have said that concerning Allah, I..."

Before Hui Jun could finish his words, he was interrupted mercilessly by You Su. His fingers were already exerting force, and the jade bead was on the verge of breaking.

"I also said that if you don't answer, I won't cooperate."

You Su's tone was very firm and he could not accept rejection.

He stared at Hui Jun's face, even though he couldn't see anything. One of them was blind, and the other was wearing a veil, but their eyes met strangely, and they were on edge.

Finally, Gray made a concession:
“This is the apocalypse.”

"Apocalypse? What does it have to do with the Apocalypse Mountain?" You Su was ready to crush the jade beads at any time.

“Those mystical Taoist priests in Tianqi Mountain claim that the hexagrams they randomly calculated are the revelation from heaven. Can you believe that? But what I am talking about is the true revelation from heaven.”

"Go on."

"It's not that no one in the Exorcism Department knows about it, but that they have no way of knowing it. When the Pure World Sect was first founded, it was actually just a branch of the complicated faction within the Exorcism Department. When the first leader went out to sea to search for the whereabouts of the evil god, he accidentally glimpsed the legendary secret scroll. After learning the secret of the true God, he decisively returned and secretly founded the Pure World Sect. Everything about the true God was also digested by the Pure World Sect, and of course outsiders had no way of knowing it."

"What is the Secret Scroll?"

"See, it's useless to tell you."

Huijun mocked without any hesitation, which seemed to be a counterattack for the disadvantage he had just suffered in the tit-for-tat confrontation with Yousu.

You Su frowned and pretended to crush the jade bead, but fortunately Hui Jun spoke in time and interrupted his action:

"The five great immortal ancestors worked together to build a high wall outside the sky to block the foreign demons, but legend has it that they did not die completely, but left a trace of their thoughts in the sky to observe the human world. There were too many sufferings and confusions in the human world, so they wrote a secret volume that recorded the ultimate secret and circulated it among the people. No one has ever read it in its entirety. It will only appear briefly in front of those who are destined to read it, like a revelation from heaven to guide those who are destined to read it."

You Su couldn't help but be dazed as he listened. What did this secret volume mean?
The five great immortal ancestors disliked the stupidity of later generations and left behind a strategy book?

The deeper You Su delves into this world, the more he feels that this world is filled with mysteries.

What was the world like five thousand years ago? Where did the evil spirits come from? Why has no one ascended to heaven in five thousand years? Is the immortal way fake?

If You Su was just a young man learning swordsmanship in Izumo City, these things would have nothing to do with him. He only needed to practice swordsmanship step by step. But he has gradually stood at the center of the world, and these problems will be closely related to him.

He desperately wanted to know the answer, both to explore the truth of this world and to survive.

"That's all I have to say. We have talked long enough. The Exorcist Department and the Purifying World Religion do not conflict with each other. At least at this stage, you just need to exorcise evil spirits honestly. One job, two jobs, isn't that great? Okay, tell me your choice."

Gray Lady lay on the backrest with her arms around her chest. Her plump figure hidden under the loose gray skirt was lifted up even more proudly. She still looked so confident.

"I reject."

You Su's answer made Hui Jun's body stiffen.

Gray Lord sat up straight again, emitting an invisible pressure that forced You Su to be alert.

"reason."

Mr. Hui spoke each word with emphasis.

"The benefits you can give me are too vague. The Exorcist Department can train me to become one of the strongest people in the world, but what can you give me? A promise that you won't kill me? If it were you, would you dare to believe it?"

You Su asked back bluntly.

"We will help you become a true God. When you fully comprehend the power of God, no one in this world will be able to kill you."

Huijun suppressed the fluctuation of his tone.

"What if I don't want to be the real God? I never thought about becoming the real God, that's the truth."

"Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

Huijun was really angry at this time, and this was the first time since she entered the house.

She didn't understand whether this blind man was stubborn or not. Couldn't he make sense by talking to him? Would it do him any harm to treat him as a snake?
"That's not what I meant. I just hope both sides can be more honest." You Su picked up the teacup. This was the first sip of water he had since he entered the door.

"Be honest?" Gray Lord didn't reveal his true face, but one could hear him laughing in anger. "If you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to let the world know that there is evil in you, and the people around you are the accomplices who are harboring the evil spirit!"

"That's it?"

You Su actually looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Obviously, he knew that the Exorcist Department would not let him die. For the chief elder, as long as he could exorcise evil, he didn't care who you were.

Gray's chest heaved, and she was very angry. She took a long breath, and her tone finally returned to calm:

"You came here to protect the dude outside the door, right?"

You Su frowned.

"And you protected him because he is your master's younger brother. You hoped that your master could reconcile with his family, so you accepted his invitation."

You Su was secretly surprised. Who on earth could the other party be to be able to dig out such deep information?

"If you don't cooperate, it will be his fault. If anything happens to him, it will be because of you. And your master will also know that it was you who killed her brother."

Gray-kun held his throat, his voice clear and dangerous.

"So...are you satisfied?"

You Su nodded in response, "Next time, make this kind of threat sooner so that I can weigh the pros and cons earlier and avoid wasting more time."

Gray Jun's pretty face hidden under the veil grinned inadvertently, and he was extremely speechless about You Su's performance.

This kid is certain that they are a cult, and he would feel uneasy if he is not threatened with some special means, right?

Hui Jun sighed, then flicked his jade fingers, produced a jade token from his sleeve and placed it in front of You Su.

"This is the Xuanji Order. The Exorcist Order has the ability to transmit messages, but that is a one-way transmission. Our Xuanji Order is much more precious than the Exorcist Order. It can transmit information in both directions. Thanks to this, we in the Pure World Sect do not need to gather together and can rely on it to communicate with each other."

You Su picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it in his hand. The texture alone was indeed more advanced than the Exorcism Order. However, the Exorcism Division had many people after all, and the cost of making a two-way sound transmission order was too high. Even the Exorcism Division could not afford such a large expense.

"You're just giving it to me so easily? No need for blood oath, signature or anything like that?"

Of course, You Su was still skeptical about what Hui Jun said. What is important is never to listen to what others say, but to see what others do.

"Do you want me to chop off half of your hand?"

Gray Jun felt helpless. Perhaps this was because he was blind. If he could open his eyes and see clearly, he would not think that she was a member of a cult.

You Su raised the jade beads in his hand again. He didn't think the other party was joking.

"You must remember that you are only the evil God, but not our God. If you don't want both sides to suffer, don't be too arrogant."

Hui Jun held his forehead and sighed, "If there is any situation, I will contact you through Xuanji Order. Let's stop here today. To conceal our presence, I will leave first and you can leave later."

After saying this, Huijun stood up and walked towards the door.

You Su sat there, his eyebrows slightly raised, thinking it was strange.

Is this Gray Lord in a hurry? Logically speaking, she is the host today, so why should she leave first and let the guests wait?
You Su waited for a moment, drank the tea in the cup, and then opened the door.

"Brother You!"

He Kongyue greeted him warmly, and he had indeed been waiting outside.

You Su hurried over and sniffed quietly.

He compared He Kongyue's height with his blurred vision and thought to himself:

Maybe I'm just being overthinking...
