Chapter 143: Wen Rui creates the times, and the times create heroes
"My fellow comrades, the enemy has been defeated and fled. God is merciful. Don't commit murder while chasing them. Excessive slaughter is against the will of heaven. The seriously injured and dying bandits should be allowed to stay alive and be imprisoned forever by Boss Wen. He will guide them to mend their ways and become good people!"
Gu Changfeng conveyed the latest instructions to the monks of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance through the intercom. This was also Wen Rui's instruction. The rabbit bandit captives are a good new energy fuel. It would be a pity to kill them all. The caravan transport vehicles used as bait are actually prisoner vehicles, waiting to receive the captives.
These words sounded righteous and were very much like those of a righteous person, and were recognized by all the monks.
"Master Gu is really kindhearted. With such a deep hatred, he actually restrained his desire to kill. Is this what they call "slaying karma without killing people?"
"His realm is really beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators like me. If I were him, I wouldn't be able to do it."
“You are truly a genius and role model among the younger generation!”
"Oh, that's amazing, his heart is like a lotus, untainted by the flames of karma, I have fallen in love with him, but unfortunately..."
The last sentence was said by a nun.
There is no doubt that this move has brought a lot of reputation to Gu Changfeng, and his reputation as a decent person has become more and more stable.
After a fierce battle, this wave of rabbit bandits was almost wiped out, with only two of them escaping underground.
The problem of cultivators' spiritual consciousness being unable to detect deep underground has not been improved for hundreds of years. Perhaps some people with great spiritual powers have secret methods of detecting the earth, but ordinary cultivators have to suffer the consequences of their earth escape techniques again and again.
Wen Rui and He Lingyun were still hiding aside and watching the fight. He Lingyun noticed that some bandits were escaping underground, and asked Wen Rui whether he wanted to use Jian Erling's earth-penetrating bombs to chase and kill them, but Wen Rui refused.
Wen Rui said indifferently: "The first battle and the actual training were completed with our help. It's time to increase the intensity and let them learn how to fight a real guerrilla war among the encirclement and suppression army mobilized by Dingguang Xianzong."
When she said this, Cheng Ziwei was following He Lingyun, and she couldn't help but feel worried for her former senior brother Li Yu.
"Master, if these monks from the Rabbit Slaying Alliance who were deceived into coming here cannot withstand the siege by the army and die in battle, wouldn't that be a pity?"
Cheng Ziwei hinted that she was wondering if using such words would make the clan leader give more support to the Rabbit Suppression Alliance.
"It doesn't matter. Gu Changfeng will cut off his tail and escape when he sees the situation is bad. Even if he escapes alone, he can quickly gather a second team and fight back."
Wen Rui smiled and explained to the new disciple: "There is no shortage of passionate young people in this world. When one group dies, a new group will grow up. But you also reminded me that I have to prepare early, so as to avoid unfavorable public opinion when this team is destroyed and new leeks are deceived to join."
"Hey, that's not what I meant..."
Wen Rui ignored her excuses and ordered Jarvis, "We have deployed drones around the battlefield. Edit the battle footage and combine it with the footage of the bandit-suppression alliance's swearing-in ceremony captured on my armor to make a documentary called "Journey to the West to Suppress Bandits". Then write a storytelling called "True Love to Suppress Bandits" and broadcast it widely in the restaurants and teahouses run by the Chamber of Commerce."
After giving the order, Wen Rui turned to Cheng Ziwei and praised her, "Xiaowei, not bad. You always come up with very inspiring suggestions. Keep up the hard work. I am very optimistic about you."
Cheng Ziwei showed a smile that was uglier than crying, silently mourning for her former senior brother Li Yu. "Alas, there are not many good people among the immortal cultivators. If they are harmed like this, the future will be bleak if this continues..."
The female monk had a sad face and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how many good people like Senior Brother Li Yu fell into the web of darkness and sacrificed their lives in vain."
"Little girl, you are too narrow-minded!" Wen Rui sneered, "What do you mean by sacrificing your life in vain? As the saying goes: 'For the sake of sacrifice, one has great ambitions, and dares to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky.' 'If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.' Don't forget that we live in a magical world. Death is not the end, but a new beginning. Good people will be healthier if they die!"
"Eh?" Cheng Ziwei looked confused. She really couldn't understand what Sect Master Wen, who had such a broad vision, was saying: "Sect Master, please help me solve this puzzle."
Wen Rui said indifferently: "So what if they were tricked by me to die? They sacrificed their lives for a just cause. Heaven will remember them. After reincarnation, their bad debts will be offset, and those without good fortune will be blessed. Their fate and qualifications in the next life will also be improved. If they can stick to their original intentions and good roots, and not give up their ambitions, after several reincarnations, even if they are born as mortals, they will have a great opportunity to become immortals and gods."
"Ah this..."
Cheng Ziwei was confused for a moment. She didn't expect the sect leader to describe the act of trapping someone and sending them to death in such a refreshing and refined way, as if it was for the good of the person who was sending him to die.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
Among the standards for accepting disciples in the Chan Sect, talent and fate are very important. Even if you are a scumbag in this life, but you saved the world in your previous life and have great blessings and a great chance to become an immortal, then you can be accepted into the sect.
"In the long run, good people will accumulate more and more blessings, and their qualifications and fate with immortals will become deeper and deeper. Then, won't there be more and more good immortals and good gods in the future?"
Wen Rui's twisted logic came to his mind easily: "The future will only be better. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. These young heroes are brave enough to sacrifice themselves quickly. Those who die now are mediocre people with mediocre talents, and those who will be reborn in the future will be geniuses blessed by good fortune. This is the correct way to defy fate!"
Cheng Ziwei rolled her eyes, scratched her head, and stammered, "Okay, that seems to be the case..."
"What do you mean by 'seemingly'? That's exactly what happened!" Wen Rui said righteously, "So don't feel any psychological burden. It's like we did something bad. We are just doing good things and don't worry about the future. We are silently making great contributions to the world without asking for anything in return. We are setting the stage for heroes for free, and we only hope that the future will be better."
"Clap, clap, clap!" He Lingyun, who was listening in, clapped his hands enthusiastically. He looked at Wen Rui with eyes full of admiration: "Sister, you understand, Brother Wen is very knowledgeable. You can't go wrong by listening to him!"
"Their sacrifice, more importantly, can continuously eliminate the evil creatures in the world who clearly deserve to go to hell but still commit evil, cleansing the world's environment and setting an example for other foolish and blind people."
Wen Rui's perverse theories were well thought out, and he used them to brainwash people one after another: "No holy lotus can grow in filth. In this filthy human world, anthropomorphic creatures do weird things without being punished. Isn't this misleading ignorant people into thinking that 'repairing bridges and roads will not leave corpses, but killing and setting fires will bring you gold belts'?"
"After their sacrifice, they will become more powerful in the afterlife. The ignorant people who imitated their behavior will be enlightened and join the righteous side. This is a very good positive cycle. By then, there will be more and more good people and they will become stronger and stronger. Isn't this the meaning of 'hero'! Times create heroes, and I am creating times. To round it off, I am creating heroes!"
"Eh--"
Cheng Ziwei really hadn't thought of this. She racked her brains but couldn't think of any rebuttal. She could only open her mouth and be helplessly intimidated by the evil-hearted boss's twisted logic.
