"In other words, this force is quietly blending in with the demonic sects, pretending to be demonic cultivators?"
The dignified and elegant female imperial tutor smiled playfully:
"The actions of demonic cultivators are inherently arbitrary and wanton. It's not too disobedient for this group of people to mix in with the demonic sects. Aren't many demonic sects proud of this?"
"This is really hard to refute..."
The tone of Saint Hehuan was complicated and her expression was strange. She felt that as a person in the evil way, she was being inexplicably slandered.
Maybe I need to go back to the sect and ask the top leaders to issue a statement each, declaring that they are not responsible for the matter and dissociating themselves from it.
But if such a commotion were to occur, the news of these Wuqi people being captured would surely leak out, alerting the enemy and causing the Wuzhong forces that had been lurking in the Demonic Sect to move elsewhere.
Not advisable!
Now at least we can take a gamble - maybe the Witch Tomb has not discovered the disappearance of the Unenlightened People?
As they chatted, the two stopped talking. They were both thinking about the mysteries of the world and how there were so many strange things.
"Even in numerous ancient books, there are only a few records of this ancient existence. How could it be that it has awakened in this world as a special existence..."
Xuan Yi was sitting nearby, staring at the water on the ground with his evil eyes, thinking about the child Chu Wuzhi.
Her existence can be seen as Bai Sujin's inner demon, the evil thoughts born from deep within her heart during the White Snake Temple incident.
Those who do good deeds believe in the kindness of the world and will extend their kind hands.
Instead of finding out that the other person is a villain who has done all kinds of evil, you foolishly help him and then wait for him to bite you back. You deserve it.
That was what happened to Bai Sujin at that time. She helped the people there out of kindness, almost without asking for anything in return, but ended up in such a situation.
During the time she was away, as she walked in confusion on the road in the wilderness, evil thoughts arose in Bai Sujin's heart.
She hesitated whether to deny the good intentions she had shown over the years, to retaliate against the local people and monks with murderous intent, and to look at the world with hostility from then on.
This evil thought is the current Xuan Yi.
After Bai Sujin adopted Chu Wuzhi's child, her attention shifted to the baby, and the depression in her heart was temporarily put behind her.
However, this "temporary" period was a bit long. When Chu Wuji grew up and could talk and walk, he made Bai Sujin happy every day.
Bai Sujin was too lazy to think about the past at the White Snake Temple or the evil thoughts in her heart because she was in a happy mood every day.
I don’t have the mood to be sad, every day is so leisurely and happy.
But suppressing evil thoughts does not mean they disappear. Problems can be avoided, but as long as they are not solved, they will always be there.
Will Xuan Yi feel disgusted and hostile towards the child Chu Wuzhi?
She thought deeply about it and asked herself, the answer should be no.
She and Bu Miao went to Diaolongkou for revenge. They were very measured in their actions and only massacred the Buddhist temple without attacking the civilians.
How could Xuan Yi vent his anger on Chu Wuji, the child who was unaware of the situation back then?
However, her state of mind will change to some extent. Now that her evil thoughts have separated from Bai Sujin, she will feel a little uncomfortable emotionally.
Why do you help her and not me?
Xuan Yi shook his head in self-mockery and said softly:
"It's incredibly childish to blame an adopted son who was unaware of the situation back then... But being able to meet under these circumstances is also a kind of fate. I should ask about his current situation and how Xiaoqing is doing."
His younger sister Xiaoqing was impulsive. She had quarreled with Bai Sujin many times in the past and always wanted to go back for revenge, which was exactly what Xuanyi wanted.
However, Xuan Yi still wanted to advise his sister not to be too stubborn about annoying things.
After killing all the enemies in the Buddhist temple, your heart will be clean.
Xuan Yi made up her mind and stood up to go visit the child. She asked Bai Kongque:
"Where do they live now?"
"Inside the royal palace, in the guest rooms near the east side of the sky courtyard, ask a maid."
*
In the rooms of the royal palace,
After Chu Wuji rested here, he was silent and lay motionless on the soft cashmere bed that was produced in abundance in the Western Regions.
He was in a low mood, but not too depressed or sad.
The Fox Goddess is still here. Even though she accidentally used her power, at least she found clues about the spirits of her ancestors. This is a major breakthrough!
If we allow the gloomy mood to completely overshadow our hearts now, it will reduce our ability to think about the current situation, which is equivalent to allowing the situation to deteriorate and tying our own hands.
It is not good to let your emotions affect you in advance when there is still a chance.
Chu Wuji thought in his heart:
"The help I can seek is from the major immortal sects. I can let the immortal elders know about this matter and help keep an eye on the witch tomb...
There's also Saint Hehuan, who also holds a clue. The people from Wuzhong are hiding within the Demonic Sect. If I can capture more people from Wuzhong, I should be able to learn more secrets."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the blonde girl with animal ears walked up to Chu Wuji with light footsteps, holding a cup of goat milk tea in her hand.
Chu Wuji, who had keen senses, was not drawn back to his attention until Fu Guanyin walked beside him and the woman's body fragrance wafted into his nose.
"Miss Guanyin, why are you here?"
Fu Guanyin touched the cup with her fingertips and found it was still scalding hot. She blew gently with her lips to cool it down a little, then placed it in Chu Wuji's hands and said:
"Master Chu, this is the goat milk tea I asked the maid here to prepare. It can soothe your dry heart."
Chu Wuji thanked him and drank it all in one gulp. The taste was rich and acceptable. He saw Fu Guanyin sitting down in the room and roughly understood what she was thinking.
Because the Heavenly Fox Goddess was staying on Fu Guanyin's body, she felt that Chu Wuji would feel much more at ease if he could feel the presence of the Heavenly Fox Goddess at all times.
"Miss Guanyin, you can go back and rest first. I feel very relieved that the Sky Fox Goddess is resting with you. Tell me if there is any situation."
Fu Guanyin was a smart and kind woman. The faint smile on her lips made people feel like spring breeze and comforted. She found an explanation and explained softly:
"I'm worried that Madam Sky Fox won't be able to rest peacefully. If she knew that Master Chu was alone and bored, she would probably wake up from time to time to ask about your condition.
If I were here, Madam Sky Fox would be able to sense Master Chu's presence and rest more peacefully and without worries!"
Chapter 321: The kid can also chisel the girl.
Chu Wuji really couldn't refuse this proposal. It was not convenient to disturb the Heavenly Fox Queen's rest at the moment, but seeing the pair of furry fox ears would make him feel more at ease.
However, Fu Guanyin had already come into the room, and Chu Wuji couldn't just treat her as a decoration and let her sit next to him without saying a word. This was a bit inappropriate.
We still need to find some topics to chat about, Chu Wuji said:
"Miss Guanyin, what are your plans for the future? Will you return to the Holy Fire Sect's secluded retreat?"
Fu Guanyin's golden hair was a little messy, which was the trace left by the Fox Goddess when she was taking Qiongqi for a walk. It did not affect her charming temperament, but instead made her look strong and unyielding, like a desert rose blooming in the mess of the battlefield.
She thought for a moment:
"Yes, this is the temporary plan, but there's no rush. I can lend my body to Lady Sky Fox for use first. Returning ten days or half a month later won't have much of an impact. Master Chu, don't worry about my schedule!"
Chu Wuji was not really worried about this. His brain was still a little slow and not as active as usual. He was simply looking for a topic to chat with her.
"I won't stay that long. Three or four days at most. I'm just curious about Miss Guanyin's subsequent plans. What are your plans after I bring White Peacock's reply back to the elders?"
The graceful woman, who exuded a holy and gentle aura, smiled wryly.
"I haven't thought about this yet. I really don't know what to do... Master Chu once told me not to worry about something so far in the future."
White Peacock's answer really posed a big problem for her.
If the White Peacock created the split in the Water and Fire Sect just for her own selfish desires and the desire for power, then Fu Guanyin could carry the resentment of her elders and hate her simply and directly.
For the rest of his life, he would continue to practice until he defeated her head-on. Even if the White Peacock died, he could not bring back the Water and Fire Sect, but at least he would fulfill the long-cherished wish of the previous generation.
But Bai Kongque had her own experiences and thoughts, and thus calmly denied the purpose of the Water and Fire Sect.
In fact, the words of the White Peacock were similar to those of Fu Guanyin when she was practicing in the immortal family.
——The Dharma should not be passed on lightly.
This word has been demonized among the people as "it doesn't matter if you have a connection with someone, it only saves rich people", but for the immortals, the truth is very clear.
If magic spells and supernatural powers fall into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will be a disaster for ordinary people. If someone is born bad, no matter how good his talent for cultivation is, he cannot be accepted as a disciple.
Didn’t the Shuihuo Sect make this mistake in the beginning?
He thought he was noble and selfless, and fell into the self-admiration of his generosity, but in fact he was sowing the seeds of greater disaster on the land of the Western Regions.
White Peacock really encountered retribution, and it happened in her hometown. She realized this truth in her grief.
It was indeed shameful that she plundered scriptures and defected, but it seemed that splitting the Water and Fire Sect was... indeed the right thing to do.
Fu Guanyin slowly spoke of her thoughts, and finally smiled to herself with regret:
"Master Chu, actually... I don't even have the courage to go back and see my elders. They are already old and have been worrying about the Water and Fire Sect their entire lives. If they find out that I was wrong, I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it, right?
I'm afraid of even this hurdle, let alone the future ones."
Kindness used in the wrong place will disgust yourself and harm others.
“…” Chu Wuji scratched his head. He was a bit of a Muggle.
Why does it feel like this bedroom has become a room where patients complain to each other?
Well, if only one person is depressed, the other person who is light-hearted and happy will have a psychological burden and feel guilty about their happiness. Now is the perfect time for them to stay in a room and worry.
"Miss Guanyin, my pot of wine that summons Senior Jiujiu has not been used yet. You can summon her later and ask for her guidance."
"But I can't offer you any fine wine of great age. The last jar of 'Suzaku Weeping Wine' is already a one-off..."
"Just say I summoned you, and then I'll cook a couple of side dishes for Senior Jiujiu to pay off the debt."
Chu Wuji finished speaking shamelessly and returned to the matter of Fu Guanyin, saying:
"Miss Guanyin, you grew up under the influence of your elders. If you can frankly admit your mistakes, they should be able to do the same. It's just that when people get older, they tend to be more concerned about their reputation and be stubborn."
Fu Guanyin nodded. She decided to talk to a few respected elders first, and then let the old guys pass the news among themselves, so as to avoid being embarrassed in front of her, a junior.
"Mr. Chu, the Water and Fire Sect's situation is final and there's no chance of it changing. From your perspective as an outsider, what is the Water and Fire Sect like?"
In her heart, she didn't want to admit that the Water and Fire Sect was really that worthless. It was still her childhood home, but she didn't want to be biased either. She could only seek help from a trustworthy "outsider" to find out what the other person thought.
Before continuing the conversation, Chu Wuji asked Fu Guanyin to rest on the bed, and he got up and sat down on the chair:
"Lie down and rest. After the Sky Fox Goddess took over your body, she will still be exhausted and burdened. You just stood and talked for so long, what kind of talk is that?"
Fu Guanyin was too embarrassed to do that, she would rather sit on the chair by herself.
The two of them were polite to each other and finally sat on the bed together chatting.
Chu Wuji returned to the topic of his previous opinion, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly:
"The Water and Fire Cult isn't necessarily as bad as White Peacock says. For an organization willing to selflessly share spells and scriptures, one could say they made a mistake in judgment, imagining things too rosy and too simple, but they can't be described as being as ruthless as if they were slashing into pieces."
"......Yeah?"
"How many wealthy grain merchants, after encountering famine, would rather let the grain rot in the warehouse and watch the people starve to death, rather than cook a pot of porridge to help others. The Water and Fire Sect is evil, so this person is a great good person?"
Just relying on self-touching, one cannot achieve the level of generosity in sharing skills like the Shuihuo Sect. It can only be said that there are limitations in cognition. When doing things with good intentions, one overlooks many things and does not do them perfectly.
But if you criticize too harshly, everyone will become selfish and do evil, and you will be left alone.
Fu Guanyin blinked, feeling confused, and said helplessly:
"Master Chu, why do I feel that the right and wrong of these things all depend on who has better eloquence? It seems that no matter what you say, it makes sense. It would have been better if you had helped me fight back against the White Peacock earlier~"
Chu Wuji really couldn't deny it, but he didn't think so much at the time, let alone help fight back against Bai Kongque. Now he was just saying a few words after the fact to help comfort Fu Guanyin.
“Many things, once accomplished, even the mistakes involved seem like a small investment with a big investment, a far-sighted strategy. But once you fail, no matter what others say about you, you can’t refute it.”
"Yes, now that you put it that way, White Peacock is really cunning. She was a saint for so many years, but in the end she ran away and distanced herself from the matter~"
Fu Guanyin was just joking. She didn't bother about right or wrong anymore. It was meaningless.
White Peacock is indeed "despicable," having removed herself from the spotlight and now criticizing and disparaging her old friend like an outsider. But she is not someone who simply makes sarcastic remarks. Having experienced the tragedy in her hometown, she re-examined her own ideals and took action to build the Shenshui Sect.
In this world, who is not a lost lamb?
You can’t tell the truth about right and wrong by talking about it, you can only know the difference by actually doing it.
Just as many people praised the Water and Fire Sect back then, White Peacock was one of its followers. He recognized the beauty advocated by the Water and Fire Sect, but only after some years did he gradually discover its drawbacks.
