Chapter 956 Great Enlightenment
There is a temple on the top of the mountain, with green tiles and red walls.
There is no trace of people, but the incense is strong.
The moment Tianyun carried Yang Qingqing to the top of the mountain, it was like a fish witnessing the Dragon Gate or a mayfly observing the world, and he had an extraordinary realization.
Looking back on the past, the tens of thousands of years of planning for incense burning were simply boring, cruel, and meaningless!
The world of mortals is hell, and life and death are a prison. In less than a thousand years, Tianyun has experienced countless kinds of pain.
That was the price of greed and the evil consequences of sin, and he tasted it himself.
Now that my memory has been restored, the tens of thousands of years as a god at the top are not as profound as these thousand years of suffering.
He had married, had children, made friends, and established a family... Those mortal emotions that he had once despised, those sincere and heartfelt calls, were much more important than the so-called incense of immortals and gods!
And these emotions that mortals cherish as treasures, the people who have lived in the Tianyun Mountain for generations, have suffered all the hardships created by themselves, a greedy and unscrupulous god, for tens of thousands of years. They have experienced separation, death, disasters and pain. They clearly have them, but regretfully lose them!
All the while, people didn't even know they were doing anything wrong!
Because they did nothing wrong, it was just the desires of the gods that were at work!
This is an unexpected disaster... This is an unexpected disaster!
"Tianyun... Tianyun Mountain God... Hahaha, stupid, stupid to the extreme!"
Tianyun was crying and laughing, looking like a madman, and was full of regret.
"If you don't understand the lives of all living beings, the so-called eternal life is nothing but an illusory illusion! Sooner or later you will be lost, and it is meaningless!"
"My wife, my son, everything I ever had!!"
Countless painful memories flooded into Tianyun's mind, and Tianyun couldn't tell who he was for a moment, was he the greedy Tianyun Mountain God, or the tormented Tianyun.
He subconsciously wanted to hold his head tightly, but as soon as he loosened his grip a little, he felt a heavy feeling of falling from behind, which forced him to wake up.
Yang Qingqing, Miss Yang!
Miss Yang is not out of danger yet, how can I stop!
Tianyun suppressed the pain and turned his head to look at Yang Qingqing's pale face, all the regret and guilt were thrown behind him.
Save people... I have to save people. This is atonement and it is what my heart desires!
"Mountain God, Red Leaf Mountain God!"
Tianyun climbed to the top of the mountain, knelt in front of the mountain temple, and shouted loudly.
He placed Yang Qingqing's body steadily on the ground, picked up a relatively sharp stone, cut his wrist again, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and used the blood sacrifice method in his mind to forcefully call out to the other party.
call--
The wind began to blow, and the candlelight in the temple flickered, but no one was seen coming out.
Tianyun didn't care about anything else and just took it as a response. He immediately carried Yang Qingqing on his back and walked into the mountain temple.
"Red Leaf Mountain God, I have come for the soul of this woman. Please return her soul intact!"
Tianyun’s mind flashed with the memory of himself as the god of Tianyun Mountain. Looking at the cushion on the ground, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But he still knelt down and kowtowed devoutly.
He knew very well that he was no longer a mountain god and had been stripped of his magical powers and godhood. He was neither human nor immortal, so kneeling down to the other party was not considered a taboo.
The temple was quiet, the candles burned steadily, and the three long incense sticks in the incense hall slowly emitted light smoke, making the statues behind them look somewhat illusory.
"Red Leaf Mountain God, you are a magnanimous person, please let this mortal woman go. If you are angry, take it out on me!"
Tianyun's eyes were red, and there was a stubborn voice in his head shouting: You are a god, you cannot kneel for a mortal!
But another clearer and more resolute voice is also shouting: Are you still going to be stubborn? You have brought misfortune and pain to others. This is the road to atonement!
However, no matter how Tianyun struggled in his mind or how he shouted in the temple, the mountain temple remained silent.
The mountain god did not show up, but instead called out an old man who was guarding the temple.
Seeing Tianyun’s sad look, he also shook his head and sighed.
Another person came to the temple to pray, but the gods would not listen to everyone's voice. Burning incense and worshipping in the temple is nothing more than seeking peace of mind...
The old man guarding the temple handed Tianyun three long incense sticks, looked at Yang Qingqing lying on the ground, sighed, it was a sin, retreated to the back hall of the temple, and didn't care about it anymore.
He has been guarding the temple for many years and has seen people crying in despair. Tianyun is not the first, and he will not be the last.
Just like the sufferings in this world, whether it is self-inflicted, the will of the times, or an unexpected disaster, it will never end.
Tianyun suppressed his emotions, held the long incense stick and bowed three times respectfully, then kowtowed repeatedly on the cushion.
"Please, spare her. She is just an ordinary female doctor. She collects herbs to cure diseases and save lives..."
"Miss Yang has a kind character. She has saved the dying and the wounded throughout her life. She has merits. You are a god in heaven. You should consider your morals and not treat her like this... Otherwise... Otherwise, you will be no different from me back then!"
Tianyun kept muttering and banged his head hard on the ground. He didn't dare to stop even when it bled.
If the Red Leaf Mountain God insisted on not responding to him, what could he, a guy who was neither human nor immortal, do to the other party?
At this moment, Tianyun once again felt the helplessness of mortals in the face of extraordinary beings such as immortals, gods, demons and monsters.
I have also sat quietly in the temple, listening to the desperate cries of mortals, and remained indifferent when I saw the people sincerely asking for help.
Now that his identities have been reversed, he realizes how helpless he is.
I can only beg, only ask for mercy...there is no other way.
Tianyun's heart was full of regret. Every time he kowtowed, he seemed to be praying for his once cold-hearted self.
Until his forehead was covered in blood and his cheeks were covered in blood, there was finally a response in this extremely peaceful mountain temple.
The mountain god statue that was enshrined high in the temple had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a young man sitting cross-legged.
The young man had an easy-going face and radiated an aura that could not be desecrated. He was like an emperor descending to the earth or a god appearing before his eyes.
"Tianyun, have you realized it?"
Li Yuan spoke quietly, his expression indifferent.
Tianyun, who was kneeling on the ground, was shaken and quickly stood up, looking towards the platform in disbelief.
When he saw that distant yet familiar, hateful yet complex figure, he was stunned and dumbfounded for a moment.
"Li...Li Yuan...?"
Tianyun's face was covered in blood and his eyes were filled with shock.
The temple was shining brightly, and a kind-looking old man in brocade clothes appeared out of nowhere. He bowed deeply to Yuan Zun with a smile on his face.
"I am the humble Red Leaf Mountain God, and I pay my respects to Master Yuan Zun."
The old man shouted loudly, with very standard etiquette, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Li Yuan waved his hand, and the Red Leaf Mountain God retreated respectfully and waited on the side, not daring to say a word.
"Tianyun, let me ask you, have you realized it?"
Li Yuan repeated his words, waking up the stunned Tianyun.
Tianyun's eyes were red, and he suddenly knelt down with gritted teeth, his voice filled with tears: "I was wrong, tens of thousands of years of pursuit were all wrong! Countless sufferings are what I deserve, but..."
"Li Yuan, please save her, save Yang Qingqing, she is innocent!!"
Li Yuan smiled and pointed at Yang Qingqing who was lying on the ground.
"Since I have come here, fate will take its course."
A mysterious and misty light emerged in the temple, the candlelight grew brighter, light smoke lingered, and Yang Qingqing's complete soul emerged from nothingness.
Yang Qingqing's soul did not suffer any hardship. Instead, it had already talked with Li Yuan and received guidance from fate. At this moment, it bowed to the other party, and Li Yuan responded with a smile.
Tianyun looked a little confused.
The Red Leaf Mountain God is in cahoots with Li Yuan. Given Li Yuan's personality, he shouldn't have the guts to do anything bad. So all this...
