Chapter 123: Dual Cultivation of Good and Evil
Shen Shu shouted, "Demon! You can kill me or chop me up as you please. If I even blink, I am not a Buddhist disciple!"
"...Hmm?" Ning Changge looked at him strangely, "You? A Buddhist disciple?"
No, which Buddhist disciple likes to kill more than the devil, and even has a deal with the devil?
Shen Shu put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, I am a high-ranking monk from the largest temple in the Western Desert Region, the Great Leiyin Temple, and the second person under the abbot."
"Is your Great Leiyin Temple a branch of the Heavenly Demon Cult in the Western Desert Region?"
While writing, Ning Changge put down Concubine Huang Qing in his arms. It was better to have less contact with her.
After all, I don't want to be a thief.
And at the end of the day, the person is already dead, and what is happening now is past history.
As if knowing that he was about to die, Shen Shu regained his previous kind expression and said:
"My dear donor, I understand what you mean, but there is no distinction between good and evil in martial arts."
"The law is not evil in nature. But monk, people's hearts are divided into good and evil." Ning Changge pointed at the offerings on the ground, "If the demon you summoned just now takes action, they will all die."
Shen Shu smiled slightly and said, "But they are not dead now, and they were going to die for the people of Beidou Territory. I just helped them to die in a different way."
"You said you wanted to die in a different way. Did you kill Concubine Huang Qing just for your own selfish desires?"
Ning Changge really didn't expect that this monk could be so shameless!
Shen Shu shook his head and said, "It's just to give an explanation to the tens of millions of people who died in Beidou. Besides..."
After a pause, Shen Shu looked at Ning Changge, then smiled slightly and said, "Besides, it's not to kill Concubine Huang Qing, it's just to kill you, the donor."
Ning Changge: "So, you seem to have other purposes?"
"Then I'm sorry I can't tell you." After saying this, Shenshu closed his eyes and chanted the Buddha's name softly:
"Amitabha, benefactor, please kill me. I have indeed made a mistake. Let me go to the Buddha to atone for my sins."
Ning Changge looked at him with a smile, "You don't seem to be afraid of death at all?"
Whether before or now, the monk's face turned very ugly when he knew that the devil could not take action.
Everything else seemed to matter to him, even death.
It doesn't make sense. How can a person who has cultivated to the stage of transcending tribulation not care about death at all? He doesn't even resist before dying.
However, Shen Shu seemed to be unable to hear Ning Changge's words and continued chanting the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, Amitabha."
Seeing this, Ning Changge sighed slightly in disappointment. He failed to trick the monk out of his hidden card. But thinking that this guy was not afraid of death, this hidden card must be very powerful.
Forget it, why think so much, kill... Hey! That's not right!
In an instant, a thought flashed through Ning Changge's mind.
If I remember correctly what Dabaoshu wrote, this monk died mysteriously three years after the Battle of Shanhaiguan.
But now it is six thousand years ago, and according to the course of history, he will definitely die.
Besides, the rule to pass the third level is to rescue Concubine Huang Qing and successfully escape with her, and it does not require killing anyone.
In this case...
Thinking of this, Ning Changge swung the sword in his hand and stabbed it towards Shenshu's dantian.
The surging spiritual energy of the Tribulation Realm instantly destroyed his Nascent Soul, spiritual roots, and all the tendons and veins in his body.
"Monk, you don't need to ask Buddha to atone for your sins. I will help you."
There must be something strange about this monk wanting to die so much, and I will definitely not be able to let him do as he wishes.
The best way is to destroy him and turn him into a mortal.
Feeling the shattered Dantian in his body, Shen Shu's face suddenly changed, and his previous calm look disappeared instantly.
The next second, he started screaming like crazy.
"Kill me! Kill me! Why don't you kill me?!"
"I just treated you like that, trying every way to kill you, and you just destroyed me?"
"No, this won't work, you're going to kill me! You're going to kill me....Puff!"
Shen Shu was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
Looking at this unexpected scene, Concubine Huang Qing on the side slowly spoke:
"Senior from the clan, he seems to particularly want to be killed by you."
Ning Changge nodded, "It's either you want it or you want it."
Concubine Huang Qing expressed her conjecture, "This... Could it be that Shen Shu knows some evil secret method that can take away the person who killed him?"
As a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, although she had never seen this secret method, she had heard of it.
It is said to be extremely evil and against the will of Heaven, able to exchange one for another before death!
"No matter what, this man is definitely dead." Ning Changge didn't believe that the records in Dabao's book could be wrong.
"But..." Concubine Huang Qing wanted to say something else, but Ning Changge interrupted her.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, Ning Changge took the lead and flew towards the twelve strings of golden Buddhist beads above his head. Now they were still trapped in this magic circle.
This magic circle will not become invalid just because Shen Shu becomes a disabled person. It was opened by twelve Mahayana monks as sacrifices.
Ning Changge still has to find a way to break the magic circle, only then can he pass the third level.
As for the remaining thirty-six combined monks who were trapped on the ground by the magic circle, according to the existing historical outcome, Ning Changge ended their lives with just one sword.
Seeing Ning Changge leaving alone, Concubine Huang Qing hurriedly said, "Alas! Senior from the clan, you forgot about me."
Ning Changge: "You are a demon lord in the Tribulation Realm, don't tell me you can't even do basic flying. Come on, catch up."
"But he is seriously injured now, he is a casualty..."
Concubine Huang Qing wanted to say something more, but when she saw Ning Changge flying without looking back, she had no choice but to pout and follow him unhappily.
"Senior is so heartless. He was hugging me before and kept calling me Qing Fei."
Hearing this, Ning Changge almost fell from mid-air. Lin Chongyang, it's a good thing your wife died early, otherwise you might have been accused of something.
After three or four breaths, Ning Changge arrived near the magic circle above his head.
A few more breaths later, Concubine Huang Qing also followed. She looked at the golden and dark Buddhist beads array in front of her, and frowned slightly:
"Senior, this magic circle looks very evil, you should be careful."
Ning Changge nodded slightly and said nothing.
As soon as he arrived here, he kept thinking about the knowledge of the formation in his mind, trying to find the eye of the formation, but it turned out to be true what Shen Shu said before.
This is the enemy-trapping effect that comes with the magic weapon, similar to the innate magical power of the monsters or the natural talents of some humans.
If you want to crack this magic circle, you don't need any knowledge of magic circle. You can only use brute force to break the magic circle from the inside or outside.
It was fine from the outside, Ning Changge estimated that he could just use one sword, but from the inside...
Ning Changge stared at the black spiritual energy in the Buddhist beads, and he felt an extraordinary aura from it.
If I were to foolishly strike with my sword and fail to break the magic circle, it would probably bring me severe backlash.
"Black aura, black aura..."
Just as Ning Changge was thinking about what to do, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Huh? Black spiritual energy! This seems to be the spiritual energy that can only be cultivated through the most authentic cultivation method of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Hearing this, Ning Changge turned around and looked at her. The meaning was very clear, so she asked for an explanation.
Huang Qingfei explained: "Just like what the senior said just now, there is no distinction between good and evil, but some techniques just look more evil, such as the magic techniques of the demon sect, especially the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"I have fought with several masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect before. Their spiritual energy is just like the black spiritual energy in these Buddhist beads, except that their spiritual energy is not so dark."
"The spiritual energy in this Buddha bead is really dark. If someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect saw it, they would definitely take it back for a careful study."
Ning Changge looked a little puzzled, "Take it back for research?"
"Yeah." Concubine Huang Qing nodded and continued:
"It seems that the monks of this sect have an inexplicable admiration for black spiritual energy. It seems that whoever can cultivate the darker the spiritual energy, the more likely he will become the leader of the sect."
Hearing this, Ning Changge touched his chin and murmured:
"This rosary was brought by Shenshu Na Lao Deng, who is a high-ranking Buddhist monk. However, the black spiritual energy inside it seems to be produced by practicing the magic skills of the demon sect."
"So, how did he get it? Did he practice it himself?"
Thinking of this, Ning Changge looked at Concubine Huang Qing, "Do you think this black spiritual energy could be cultivated by Shen Shu himself? After all, he can even summon the Heavenly Demon."
Concubine Huang Qing didn't even think about it, "Impossible!"
"what?"
Ning Changge was stunned and felt a little surprised.
How come this is different from what is written in Tomato's novels? Aren't the protagonists in those novels supposed to practice both good and evil, and become invincible in the world? Why doesn't this work when they come to Cangyuan Continent?
"I don't know who you are, Senior, and where you got such a high level of cultivation, but..."
Having said this, Concubine Huang Qing paused, staring at Ning Changge with her fox eyes, her tone extremely serious:
"But for the dual cultivation of righteousness and evil, as long as it reaches the false elixir stage, it is what the human race often calls the period between the great perfection of foundation building and the early stage of golden elixir."
"Once these two completely different spiritual energies in the body form a golden elixir, there will be only one outcome: death!"
Ning Changge was curious about what she said, "No exceptions?"
"No exceptions!" Concubine Huang Qing said in a deep voice:
"It's like a lock and key. A lock has only one key, and only this key can open the lock."
"If you use other keys to force it in, it will only destroy the lock core, which means that the Dantian in the body will be destroyed. In the worst case, your cultivation will regress, and in the worst case, you will die!"
