Chapter 957 Transformation into a Butterfly
The story goes back half a day ago.
At that time, the earth was still shrouded in darkness.
Yang Qingqing followed the man to the neighboring village, and after a medical examination, she stabilized the man's father's condition.
But if he wanted to prepare the prescription, he was still missing a fresh herb, so he could only go to the mountains to pick it temporarily.
Yang Qingqing remembered that the medicinal herbs she needed were on a small slope not far from the foot of the mountain, so she took an oil lamp and went into the mountain in the dark, accompanied by several family members.
She actually succeeded in picking the herb, but when she returned to the village, she saw a shocking scene.
A lazy and weak young man, emitting a soft and clean glow, stood at the entrance of the village, with a ferocious-looking demon under his feet.
The monster was huge, lying on the ground like a small mountain, and it seemed that a part of its tail was stepped on by the young man who suddenly appeared.
Although the demon had unparalleled brute strength, no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the young man's feet. It could not help but tremble and let out pitiful whimpers.
The village was silent and peaceful, as if no one could see this scene. Even the family members who accompanied Yang Qingqing up the mountain seemed unaware of it and walked straight into the village.
"Be good, it's normal to feel a little pain later."
The young man stepped on the monster until the villagers entered the village, then he bent slightly and whispered to the monster under his feet.
There was a trace of despair in the demon's eyes, but because of the wrongful killings and the too many sins he carried, he did not receive forgiveness from the Source Master and turned into a 'sky full of stars' on the spot.
“Yang…Qingqing, Miss Yang, right?”
After casually sweeping away the demon, the young man turned around with a smile and looked at Yang Qingqing.
The female doctor Yang Qingqing was a little wary at first, but for some reason, when she saw the young man's gentle smile, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the other party would not hurt her.
"I...Yes, what are you going to do?"
Yang Qingqing looked at the other person's face and felt her mind inexplicably calm, just as if all living creatures saw a bright lighthouse in the dark night. She would never feel disgusted, but would be full of yearning and trust.
The young man with a weak face and lazy demeanor was naturally Li Yuan. He smiled softly: "I came here for Tianyun, but he is still a little short of awakening... I want to ask the girl to help me act out a scene..."
After a brief conversation, Yang Qingqing's face was full of complexity. Only then did she realize that the person she had picked up and brought back to the yard was actually an immortal god with blood on his hands and who had committed serious mistakes.
However, she recalled Tianyun's daily words and deeds, and mustered up the courage to say to Li Yuan: "I...I believe he has changed. The current Tianyun is definitely not the evil god who harvests the incense of all living beings in your mouth."
Li Yuan smiled again: "He deserves the punishment that God has never forgiven. I am willing to trust him again, so I came here in person."
call--
There was the sound of wind in the woods, and more than a dozen figures in tights, armor and holding weapons approached.
"Hey, why did the demon's aura disappear here?"
"Who are you, and why are you standing here in the middle of the night?"
The people from the Demon Subduing Division rushed over, but only saw Li Yuan and Yang Qingqing at the entrance of the village.
Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unquestionable power:
"The demon passed through here and committed the heinous crime of slaughtering the whole village. You and others came after him, but you were just one step away..."
The people from the Demon Subduing Department fell into confusion, listening to the "truth" told by Li Yuan in a daze, nodding from time to time with extremely serious expressions.
"After all, I have fooled you. I will grant you a divine light to protect you and ward off a fatal disaster once."
As he spoke, Li Yuan waved his sleeves and swept out rays of light, which were imprinted on the brows of the people from the Demon Subduing Department.
"Oh, by the way, I picked up a few orphans on the road..."
"You saved these children from the demons... Afterwards, you burned down the village to prevent the spread of the disease..."
After he perfected the "truth" he had fabricated, he suddenly remembered something and waved his hand. Several children flew out from the nearby woods and fell into a sweet dream.
With another snap of the fingers, the illusory sea of fire surrounded the entire village.
Those people from the Demon Subduing Department also stood guard at the entrance of the village in confusion, and truly believed in the "truth" that Li Yuan said.
Yang Qingqing witnessed everything from the sidelines. She felt extremely surprised, but also somewhat puzzled:
"Why create such a false impression? Is it just to stimulate Tianyun?"
Li Yuan looked back, looked into the depths of the village, and raised a faint smile.
"Originally, there was no need to go through so much trouble, but after arriving here, I discovered that there was actually a reincarnation of an old friend in this village... In this life, he should enjoy the peace and quiet and experience the beauty of the countryside... Don't let those external forces interfere."
This is an explanation and also a decree. The heaven and earth have taken notice. From now on, this village will be shrouded in a mist of energy and will never be disturbed by gods, ghosts, demons or monsters.
Yang Qingqing nodded, not quite understanding. Although she couldn't comprehend things on that level, she roughly understood that Li Yuan didn't want external forces to disturb that "old friend".
What happened next was simple.
Yang Qingqing was taken to the mountains by Li Yuan, and his soul was asked to visit the top of the mountain where the Red Leaf Mountain God lived, creating the illusion that he was accidentally angered by the gods.
Then Tianyun rushed to the neighboring village, met the "hypnotized" people from the Demon-Subduing Division, and saw the "sea of fire"...
After listening to the simple explanation of the matter by Hongye Mountain God and Yang Qingqing, Tianyun finally learned the whole story.
There was a flash of deep shock in his eyes, and then he stood up angrily, looking straight at Li Yuan with his fists clenched.
"So...so you are teasing me?! Just to stimulate me to recover my memory!"
"This mountain road is rugged. I carried Yang Qingqing's body all the way here. Do you know how painful it was for me?"
Tianyun was almost emotionally broken. He was so regretful and trying his best to change something, but it turned out to be just an illusion created by Li Yuan? !
Looking at the angry Tianyun, Li Yuan could also understand his emotions. After all, it was the memories of countless lifetimes coming together at the same time. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been shocked to the point of mental collapse long ago.
However, understanding is one thing, and tolerance is another.
Li Yuan was still sitting cross-legged on the high platform. His eyes moved slightly, like a god looking down upon him. Tianyun was instantly frozen in place, unable to move at all.
"Actually, you should thank me... for creating this farce."
Li Yuan spoke softly, further stimulating Tianyun who was already in a frenzy.
"The mortal world is like hell. This is my punishment for you, and it is also the punishment bestowed upon you by God. Anyone who truly approaches you will be dragged into your sins."
"They are innocent, and you, whether you are the God of Tianyun Mountain or the current Tianyun, have brought disaster to them with your own hands."
"You will kill those close to you again and again, and you will bear endless sins. This tragedy will never end until the moment you truly wake up."
Li Yuan's words were filled with inexplicable pity, but not for Tianyun, but for Yang Qingqing and those people in the past.
Hearing these words, Tianyun's expression changed and he gradually calmed down, but his eyes were still red.
"Because I'm here, all of this is an illusion. The demon is dead, the villagers are alive, Yang Qingqing is also alive, and she has also obtained the fate of an immortal. Everything is happy."
"But what if I'm not here? What if the Red Leaf Mountain God is really an evil god and is determined to harm Yang Qingqing's soul?"
"How could you have stopped her at that time? You could only watch her wither and die!"
Li Yuan asked a few questions in return and suddenly raised his voice, which was like the sound of a loud bell and a wake-up call.
"Tianyun, wake up!"
"The most terrifying thing in this world is never the sin itself, but the existence that creates sin!"
"You used to be like that, and now... after going through all of this, you should transform from a cocoon into a butterfly!"
"If a powerful force is not balanced by a firm heart, it will inevitably go astray!"
"You should be gentle and kind, leading the world forward, instead of being perverse and evil, which is meaningless except for bringing pain and disaster!"
Tianyun seemed to be struck by lightning, his body trembled, tears flowed from his eyes, and he remained silent for a long time.
