Chapter 116: Eliminating Filth and Evil, Cutting Karma and Reducing Entropy

Luo Qing and others who stepped into this Shura bloody field did not show any fear on their faces, only excitement.

The excitement is beyond words.

To Luo Qing and the others who had come closer, Geng Xuan simply instructed: "Clean up the scene quickly."

Then, he said nothing more, immersed in the strange experience that only he could understand.

Starting from Cao Duo, the refining of more than forty groups of residual energy brought Geng Xuan huge benefits.

But while watching his good luck increase like the rising tide, Geng Xuan also felt as if his brain was in a furnace.

The burning sensation, which was originally just a small spot between the eyebrows, the size of a bean lamp, spread throughout the head.

Geng Xuan felt as if his entire brain was being burned by flames.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this is still within Geng Xuan's tolerance.

This feeling did not affect the functioning of his mind or the coordination of his body.

This feeling only gradually subsided after the last bit of residual energy was refined.

Geng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to sort out his gains in a more systematic way.

This is a record-breaking progress in every sense of the word.

Leaving aside other gains, the profit from good fortune alone is the highest among all previous operations.

Starting from Cao Duo, he himself provided him with fifty-one points of good luck and four points of bad luck.

Next were the other four people who were guarding outside the tunnel with him. They brought him a total of 126 points of good luck and 2 points of bad luck.

On average, each person contributed a little more than twenty-five points of good luck.

Then came Zang Zigao and Wu Yue. The former brought him 28 points of good luck and 3 points of bad luck, while the latter brought him 56 points of good luck and 2 points of bad luck.

To be honest, Geng Xuan was a little surprised by the "contributions" of these two people.

What surprised him about Zang Zigao was that compared with Duan Tianpeng, Cao Duo and Wu Yue who were at the same level, the benefits of good fortune he brought were much less, which meant that the sins he committed were much less than theirs.

This was somewhat surprising to him.

Although, the sins behind the twenty-eight points of good fortune are no less, Zang Zigao, who has so many sins, can't be a pure little flower.

But when comparing him with others of the same level, he suddenly seemed fresh and unworldly.

Geng Xuan could only sigh that he had been led astray by this world.

Because there are so many bad people, when someone who is slightly less bad appears, people actually think that this person is not bad.

Of course, no matter how good he was, it didn't stop Geng Xuan from killing him.

Geng Xuan also did not expect Wu Yue's contribution, which was completely opposite to Zang Zigao's in direction.

Although he also has the cultivation level of the Marrow Refining Realm, his level of marrow refining and strength are far from comparable to Duan Tianpeng and Cao Duo. However, the sins on his body have enabled him to surpass the two of them.

And relying on his own "hard power", he broke the personal "contribution" record originally held by Cao Duo in just a few hours.

He ranks first on Geng Xuan's "Single Person Good Luck Contribution List".

Apart from these two people, there was the largest group of people in the convoy, and they were the ones he killed most brutally.

A total of twenty-nine people, no one escaped, all died at his hands.

The total amount of good luck they brought to Geng Xuan was 667 points. On average, each of them "contributed" 23 points of good luck to him.

Then there was the fat middle-aged man from Baiyuan Pawnshop. He had no intention of looking for him, but since he came up to him, he certainly would not show mercy and simply turned him into his lucky resource.

In the end, this person did not disappoint his expectations, and he provided him with thirty-five points of good luck and a little bad luck.

The two people who were killed at the end were a skinny blue-clothed guard who had been hiding on the road outside Baiyuanji last night.

The other one was one of the three blue-clothed guards who jumped out to stop him from entering when he went to the underground black market.

The reason why he chose to target these two people was very simple. Compared with the other three people, the red names above their heads were the most eye-catching, and he had to pay more attention to them.

The final result did not disappoint his expectations. The two of them brought him a total of forty-nine points of good luck.

From Cao Duo to the last two unlucky guys from Baiyuanji, there were exactly forty people, no more, no less, and they brought a total of one thousand and twelve points of good luck to Geng Xuan.

Without a doubt, this was the most rewarding operation Geng Xuan had ever undertaken.

Adding the remaining 98 points of good fortune, he now has a total of 1,110 points of good fortune at his disposal.

The black luck added in this operation is twelve points.

Among them, people born in Anleji brought him a total of eight points of bad luck.

Zang Zigao, who was recruited by Wuyou Palace, contributed three points, and the fat middle-aged man from Baiyuanji Pawnshop contributed one point.

The following four points are just incidental.

The eight points of black luck obtained from people born in Anleji are exactly equivalent to the eight points of black luck released by the eight points of white luck, which can be said to be neither increasing nor decreasing.

"This should be the upper limit of the 'energy' that the Anleji social network can unleash in order to annihilate them."

It was far different from Xu Nianwei, who alone brought him thirty points of bad luck, and the Wanfufang Spy Hunting Team, who brought him fifty points of bad luck after the whole team was wiped out.

With this comparison, Geng Xuan roughly knew the depth of Anleji.

"In this case, I can also use it as a reference to measure the strength of a force."

Overall, Black Luck increased from 130 points before the action to 134 points, an increase of four points again.

But Geng Xuan now no longer has the anxiety he had before.

In the past, after each action, Geng Xuan always felt anxious as he watched the bad luck gradually increase, fearing that it would turn into a bomb and explode at any time.

Now, after having a deeper insight into his bad luck, Geng Xuan felt relieved.

Geng Xuan is not a bloodthirsty person, and he never takes pleasure in taking other people's lives.

However, after gaining a deeper insight into the true meaning of white luck and black luck, as well as the changes brought about by his own actions, he could not help but bring his killing of others into a higher perspective.

The bad luck that befell him was certainly caused by the fact that he had killed certain people.

But he has realized that bad luck is actually "the energy that a person's social relationship may pour into other social relationships due to its death or absence."

In other words, killing someone only stimulates this energy.

What if I didn't kill that person?

This energy will not disappear. It may remain hidden, or it may be released in other forms in the rest of the person's life.

This is the hidden danger, a bomb that may explode at any time.

If the vast human society expands its vision from Kangleji to the surrounding areas of Chiwu Mountain, to Yuanzhou, and even to the entire Kyushu.

How many hidden dangers are there in the complex social relations formed by the trillions of living beings?
If there is an explosion, how terrifying will the magnitude be?

If we try to describe this energy, different perspectives may lead to different understandings.

If you regard it as "accumulated filth", the sediment in the sewer, then you are the scavenger;
If it is regarded as "rebellious energy" that permeates the entire dust network and flows in everyone's heart, then it is a deflated needle;

If one regards it as “karma,” then he is a karma cutter;
If he regards it as "entropy increase", the culprit for the continued chaos in Jiuzhou, and the trend of heaven, then he is the one who goes against heaven.

We must force "entropy increase" to become "entropy decrease".

Therefore, killing is to protect life, and it is to eliminate karma, not to kill people.

With this realization, Geng Xuan even came up with an idea that terrified everyone in this world.

"For over five hundred years since Emperor Yuan's death, the Nine Provinces have been in turmoil and chaos, unable to regain their unity.

I think it’s not that too many people were killed, but that too few were killed.”

If his idea were known by those who are committed to the great cause of Kyushu, they would definitely regard him as the number one devil in the world.

Because all knowledgeable people believe that the biggest problem in Jiuzhou is that the killing is too deep, too heavy, and too cruel.

If there is no benevolent heart of a saint, who stops killing with killing and violence with violence, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and no one will be able to untie the deadlock in Jiuzhou even after another five hundred years.

But Geng Xuan believed that the disease was caused by not killing enough, not killing enough, and not killing harshly enough.

Of course, this killing does not mean indiscriminate killing without a target.

Instead, there must be an extremely clear intention and the will to see it through to the end.

As the saying goes, the four seas are raging with clouds and waters, the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder, and all harmful insects must be wiped out!

With this mentality, Geng Xuan did not attach too much sacred and lofty meaning to his killing, but simply regarded it as a kind of "spring cleaning", which was already very restrained.

But if you want to make him feel guilty, even a little bit, I'm sorry, let alone killing only dozens of people, even if he killed hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, he would not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Among these people, there must be good husbands, good fathers, good sons, and good brothers, and there will definitely be more than that.

Geng Xuan would also not hesitate to praise these good qualities.

But when the time comes, he will still take action without any hesitation, and he will never feel the slightest bit of apology afterwards.

"Maybe I'm really a pervert."

……

Luo Qing and others were quickly gathering all the corpses together and collecting the various items seized from them into different categories.

Someone was also taking a rough inventory of all the carriages. Everything was done very quickly and in an orderly manner.

Da Huang led Ba Xiao and showed up in front of all the horses, barking a few times, as if to say, "Be smart and don't mess with me, or I'll bite you to death!"

And the horses really believed it. They all stood there obediently and didn't dare to move.

He couldn't help but snort and looked at Dahuang and Baxiao cautiously.

After doing all this, Da Huang led the eight children and strode to Geng Xuan with their heads held high. They jumped onto the carriage one by one and lay down around him, looking very comfortable and leisurely.

After glancing around, Geng Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the three people not far away.

No one greeted them, no one paid any attention to them.

When the Giant Bear Gang members passed by them, they would at most look at them curiously a few more times, as if wondering, why aren't you dead?
Everyone else died, but you three survived. Is there something special about you?
They didn't run either.

I don't even dare to have such a thought.

He just stood there properly, not moving or saying a word.

They were only happy and had no complaints about Geng Xuan's disregard for them.

They hoped that this evil man would ignore them all when he left.

But Geng Xuan finally looked at them again.

Geng Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, waved at the three of them and said, "Come here."

The three of them obediently came to stand in front of Geng Xuan, standing straight with their heads slightly lowered, like elementary school students who had made a mistake and were listening carefully to a lecture.

Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the three of them and he said slowly:

"Each of you will have one chance to speak. If you can give me a reason why I won't kill you, you can live.

But if you can't explain it, or if the reasons you give can't convince me, then you will die.

I'll give you a cup of tea to think it over.

...Starting now."

After saying that, Geng Xuan stopped talking.

The three people standing in front of him only felt a huge force pressing on their shoulders and bodies.

Geng Xuan did not kill these three people directly. The reason was very simple. Compared with their companions and those villains from Anleji, whose average contribution was no less than 20 points of red luck, the red energy above their heads was really too thin.

According to his experience, among the three of them, the one with the strongest good luck can only provide him with 11 or 12 points of good luck at most.

If the other two are quantified by posthumous fortune, it would only be around eight or nine points.

Compared with the average level of the people in the neighborhood, their level is certainly above the standard, and it is double the standard.

But when it comes to the people in the market, especially the guards, Geng Xuan actually feels like he is "untainted by the mud".

Also "forced" by the overall atmosphere of this world, Geng Xuan would no longer be like when he first traveled through time. Anyone with a red name on their head would be silently marked as "guilty" by him.

Gradually, Geng Xuan developed a vague set of principles in his mind: to deal with the enemy as long as it was neither hostile nor threatening to him.

If the luck is below five points, don’t kill them if you can.

If your luck is above five points and below ten points, try not to kill them.

Those who are killed between 10 and 15 o'clock can be killed or not.

And these three people just happen to fall into the category of those who can be killed and those who cannot be killed.

In addition, the contrast with a group of villains from Anleji further highlights their "purity and innocence".

Then don’t kill him.

He decided the matter so "hastily" without any complicated psychological process.

But he couldn't really let them go like that, so this happened.

"Okay, time's up."

Geng Xuan didn't care whether a cup of tea had passed or not, and just spoke out his words.

Looking at the person on the far left, it was the team leader who threw a flying knife last night to prevent them from entering Baiyuanji.

"It's you, you speak first."

No one knows whether this person cursed in his heart when he was named.

Anyway, he took a step forward with a respectful look on his face.

Geng Xuan looked at him, and he lowered his head slightly to look at the ground.

Geng Xuan waited for him to speak, but he didn't open his mouth.

"Hmm? Can't you find a reason?"

Geng Xuan asked in confusion, reaching out to touch the sword beside him.

Such a casual tone even sounds a bit friendly and homely.

If it were someone else, everyone would just think he was joking and pretending.

But anyone who has seen how Geng Xuan kills people would never dare to have any chance of luck at this time.

Including the man in front of him who was named by Geng Xuan but said nothing.

When Geng Xuan grasped the hilt of the sword and slowly raised the tip of the sword.

The man, with a trembling heart, finally spoke:

"I said, I said."

The rising tip of the sword suddenly stopped.

The man became ruthless and finally stopped hesitating and said softly:
"You killed so many people from Anleji, including one who was the cousin of Master Wu Yi... Did you kill Cao Duo as well?
I know that since you dare to attack them and have such strength, you are naturally not afraid of any retaliation from Anleji.

But I think if I can muddy the waters a little, interfere with An Le Ji's sight, and delay your exposure, that would definitely be helpful, right?"

Geng Xuan nodded. He naturally understood this principle, but the key point was——

“How do you muddy the water?”

The man asked, "Do you know our Master Feng Yu?"

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."

“In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Anleji. This time, Anleji cooperated with Wuyou Palace to take away all the medicinal herbs obtained from the autumn hunt in the surrounding neighborhoods, which made him even more angry.

As far as I know, he has been promoting the dissatisfaction of those in the group with Anle Group and secretly contacting the leaders who are also dissatisfied with Anle Group. "

Hearing this, Geng Xuan finally became interested and asked curiously, "Are they...trying to cause trouble?"

The man shook his head and said:

“Whether they were up to something or not, I don’t know.

Perhaps this is just a way for the Grand Master to express his dissatisfaction with Anleji.

But it doesn’t matter what he thinks, as long as An Leji believes that he is indeed plotting something.”

Geng Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you want me to divert this disaster onto your Grand Master?"

After hearing this, the man showed an embarrassed and shy look on his face.

But he was yelling in his heart, wasn't this you... you who forced me to do this? !

Geng Xuan showed an approving look on his face and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, your reason is very good... But, have you thought about how to bring about this disaster?"

"Not yet... not yet..." said the man.

"No rush, take your time to think... What's your name?"

"Hong Quan."

"What cultivation level?"

"Bone Refining Realm."

"more specific."

Hong Quan gritted his teeth and said, "I broke through to the Bone Refining Realm two years ago, and now I'm at about 20% of the Bone Refining Realm."

"it is good."

Geng Xuan nodded, looked at the next person, and asked, "What about you?"

This person was one of the three people who prevented Geng Xuan from entering the underground black market. He was also the strongest and the one who was in the middle of the conversation with him at that time.

The man quickly said: "My name is Cheng Hui, and I have just started to refine my bones."

"I didn't ask that. I want to hear your reason for living."

Originally, Geng Xuan had no expectations for this, but Hong Quan's performance made Geng Xuan realize that people's potential can be forced out.

He now really wants to know what kind of surprise Cheng Hui can give him.
