Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

Even though they are both decent people, there are actually quite a few conflicts and frictions between them.

They were naturally happy to see the "boss" of Southern Shaolin being humiliated. After all, no one wanted to have an "emperor" above their head.

If Southern Shaolin were to decline one day, there would definitely be many people hanging up lights and lighting firecrackers to celebrate.

Now, the only thing the five factions are worried about is how Li Yu will comment on them later?

People like He Taichong and Ban Shuxian would have gone up and stabbed Li Yu to death with a sword if they had not been unable to defeat him. How could they allow him to "reason" here leisurely?

But leaving directly is not an option.

First, it weakens the momentum; second, it makes one appear guilty; third, the "ostrich mentality" not only fails to solve the problem, but also causes great losses.

Kongzhi and Kongxing looked grim, with veins bulging on their temples. Their hands holding the Zen sticks were clenched tightly, and they were even sweating.

Only they knew that what Li Yu said was true.

This was also the reason why they invited Master Fang Zheng to come with them before leaving but were rejected.

Because Fang Zheng didn't want to ruin his reputation.

Li Yu looked at them quietly, feeling very disdainful.

In fact, if he were not weak now, he would even criticize those bald donkeys who enclosed land and occupied farmland without producing anything or paying taxes, and spent all day cheating pilgrims of their money and making themselves fat and bloated.

Of course, he would not say these words for the time being, otherwise he would not only offend Southern Shaolin, but the entire Buddhist community!

By then, it might even be possible for the Buddhist Martial Saint to come and kill him personally!

So he must strike a good balance. He can be high-profile, but he must not offend people he cannot afford to offend at the moment.

Li Yu changed the subject and continued, "You have all said before that the demons of the Demon Cult should be killed by anyone."

"There's one thing I don't understand: How do you determine if a person is good or bad? How do you determine if a force is good or evil?"

Good guy? Bad guy?

Good forces? Evil forces?

Everyone was whispering, but no one answered Li Yu directly.

Including Master Miejue, who always prides herself on hating evil.

Miejueshi ⑼Taiyuan ０ originally wanted to say ⑷, and by the way, nail ⑻ the Mingjiao ⑷ completely ⑷ to the evil ⑵ forces. ⑼'≡０|-⑸〖)

But before she could open her mouth, she suddenly remembered the story of Xian Yutong and He Taichong who repaid kindness with enmity. She opened her mouth but in the end said nothing.

Because even she herself knew that if she said such words, she would definitely be slapped in the face, so she chose to remain silent.

No one answered, so Li Yu asked himself: "In my opinion, the distinction between good and bad people does not depend on their heart, status, position, size, gender, beauty or ugliness...it only depends on their actions."

"Regardless of their heart. Let me give you two examples. A gentleman judges by deeds, not by their heart. The same is true for good people."

"Many people hate hypocrites, believing that what they say and do is just for show, but that they are actually extremely dirty and filthy inside."

"But I think that no matter how ugly a hypocrite's heart is, as long as he doesn't put it into action and instead pretends to be a gentleman his whole life, then he is a true gentleman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people at the scene nodded in agreement.

"Let me give you another example. Many people consider themselves compassionate and righteous, believing that all living things have spirits and cannot bear to kill. Even the most evil people cannot be killed, and they will just teach them a lesson."

"So, what do you think, is this a good guy or a bad guy?"

Li Yu said this and glanced at Zhang Wuji.

For some reason, Zhang Wuji's face suddenly turned red. He felt a little embarrassed and his face was burning.

This issue also aroused heated discussion among the group of people.

Because he is kind-hearted and teaches evil people a lesson instead of killing them, he cannot be a bad person, but is he a good person?

When it comes to this question, many people can't help but look to Southern Shaolin. After all, there has been a saying in Buddhism since ancient times: "Sweep the floor so as not to hurt the lives of ants, and use gauze to protect the lamp from moths."

Although these monks showed no mercy when killing the Mingjiao members, there are indeed compassionate masters in Buddhism.

For a moment, everyone was discussing it, but no one could give a firm answer.

Not only them, but also the Ruyang Palace, Hulong Villa, Dongchang, and the combination of middle-aged swordsmen and young swordsmen in secret were thinking about this question in their hearts.

Finally, it was Huang Rong who spoke first: "Brother Yu, Rong'er feels that this kind of person is neither a good person nor a bad person, but sometimes he is even more hateful than a bad person."

Not a good person, not a bad person either? But more hateful than a bad person?

Hearing such a novel statement, everyone looked towards Huang Rong.

Zhang Wuji was even more confused. Could it be that he was even more hateful than the bad guys?

He didn't understand, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Li Yu smiled and said, "What about Rong'er?"

Huang Rong was not intimidated. "Such a person, because he did not harm anyone, is naturally not a bad person. However, if he saw evil and did not kill it, and continued to spread evil in the world, he cannot be said to be a good person either."

"As for why he is sometimes more despicable than the bad guys, Rong'er needs to give an example too!"

"A group of vicious bandits were robbing people on the road, but they encountered a master and were defeated and begged for mercy."

"The master was compassionate and could not bear to kill them. He simply taught them a lesson and encouraged them to do good."

"The bandits promised generously, but were then frightened into leaving their lair and finding another place to wreak havoc. Shouldn't the subsequent victims resent the merciful master?"

"I didn't kill Boren, but he died because of me. How can such a kind-hearted person have the nerve to call himself a good person?"

Huang Rong chuckled as she spoke: "Brother Yu, am I right?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "That's absolutely right!"

"And I call this kind of person a saintly bitch! They have a saintly heart, are kind but don't discriminate against anyone, don't want to do evil but still do it, and act like a bitch."

"I also call him a useless person. He is useless to others, useless to the world, and useless throughout his life."

……

"well said!"

The young swordsman raised his eyebrows, snatched the wine jug from the middle-aged man, and took a big gulp.

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.

……

"A hypocrite can also be a true gentleman, and being kind to everyone is a saintly bitch and a useless person?"

Shangguan Haitang thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, and the more interesting it seemed.

Princess Yunluo tilted her head to look at Cheng Shifei and asked, "Cheng Shifei, we should be considered good people, right?"

"Of course! I'm a secret agent of the Imperial Palace, specializing in punishing evildoers. You're my wife, and you follow me to do justice, so of course I'm a good person." Cheng Shifei has a strong desire to survive.

Princess Yunluo nodded in satisfaction and released her hand from Cheng Shifei's ear.

……

The white jade folding fan in Zhao Min's hand tapped lightly on her palm.

She doesn't care whether they are good or bad. As long as they can make contributions to the Yuan Dynasty and are useful enough, she can recruit even bad guys as her subordinates.

Just like the two Xuanming Elders!

At this moment, her attention was attracted by Huang Rong. She always felt that she sensed a sense of "enemy" from her.

Perhaps, they will be two similar opponents.

……

When everyone had finished discussing it, Li Yu said, "The rest of the 'no matter' is easy to understand, so there's no need to waste time on it."

"After discussing the good and bad of people, let's discuss the good and evil of forces."

"You keep saying that the Ming Cult is a demonic cult, but is it really a demonic cult?"

"As the saying goes: A tree has its share of fruits, some sweet and some sour; a mother has her share of children, some foolish and some wise. No matter which gang it is, once it has a large number of members, sooner or later there will be some bad elements mixed in."

"After all, it's easier to paint a tiger's skin than its bones, and you can know a person's face but not his heart."

"And the Ming Cult has so many followers. How can they possibly control everyone? It's inevitable that some people will do evil."

"But just because some people commit evil, can we lump everyone else together and label them all as 'evildoers', completely labeling them a demonic cult?"

"Xie Xun has been killing people and destroying families everywhere, but how long has it been since this Golden Lion King returned to the Ming Cult?"

"He acted on his own, not at the instigation of the Ming Cult. If you want to kill someone, you should kill Xie Xun. Why are you targeting other members of the Ming Cult?"

"Just like Cheng Kun hiding in Southern Shaolin, now that his conspiracy has been exposed, you guys in Southern Shaolin are trying to shift the blame, claiming you knew nothing about it. But I insist that you are deliberately hiding the truth. So what?"

"Can you provide evidence to prove that I am slandering you?"

"If not, then Cheng Kun is your Southern Shaolin man! Should Cheng Kun's enemies come to Southern Shaolin and kill you, the treacherous 'accomplices', to vent their anger?"

“This…” Kong Jiuzhi was speechless and could only sing to cover up his embarrassment: “Amitabha!”

Li Yu didn't hold him back and changed the subject: "I've almost finished talking about Southern Shaolin, now let's talk about the other five sects."

The hearts of the people from the five sects suddenly tightened.

Thinking about how Southern Shaolin was criticized to pieces, they couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that some scandal would break out in their own family.

The monks of Southern Shaolin all breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy finally shifted the focus.

Amitabha, now it’s my turn to watch the show.

Li Yu's speech suddenly quickened: "I won't say much about the Huashan Sword Sect. Xian Yutong is a villain, a complete scum, yet he can become the leader. How ironic is that?"

"The Huashan Sword Sect's selfish motive in attacking the Ming Cult was revenge. Xian Yutong interfered and pinned the blame for Bai Yuan's murder on the Ming Cult."

"The Kongtong Sect's purpose is the simplest. They are here purely to gain fame and show off their reputation."

"But I have to say you're both new and playful. You have poor skills but still love to join in the fun. When someone gives you a hand, you rush over to do the hard work. You're simply not asking for your own life!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders of Kongtong became furious. Their faces flushed red with shock and anger, and they pointed their spears at him, ready to curse.

However, Li Yu suddenly put away his smile, his face expressionless, and looked at them with extremely calm eyes.

The five elders of Kongtong all fell silent, and their momentum suddenly wilted.
