The sword is the devil

Chapter 9 The Punishment of Fate
Clear pond water demon, hide your face and retreat!

Humans may not be able to make this determination, but they really dare not prove it.

The two sides competed to see who was willing to spare, and in the end, the Taoists won.

The gathering of monsters in Liupan City this time has failed, but it does not mean that humans can really build embankments to prevent water.

If you really want to realize the potential, you just want to see it, unless one side completely falls, and now is obviously not the time for a showdown; so Taoist Chongling no longer forces Liupan City to build an embankment.

It means that both parties take a step back, the Daoist sect gains face and kills an insignificant shrimp general;
No one will say clearly who takes advantage and who suffers, but everyone knows it clearly.

It can't be said that they are ashamed, but they are also disappointed. Daoist Chongling and his party are in a hurry, and there is no point in continuing. In fact, the failure of Liupan means the failure of building embankments along the Qingtang River. It doesn't make much sense to build a place.

The four of them no longer went to the next city, but went straight back to the capital of God. The various ups and downs that occurred along the way were beyond the ability of cultivators of their level to deal with, and they needed a real overhaul to make up their minds.

The return trip was a bit embarrassing, because even the little face of the Daoist sect was recovered with the help of a sinner, which made the three of Chong Ling feel bad about their face. They were clearly several layers behind in their realm, but they were not as good as they were in real trouble. A novice who cannot be called a monk hurts his self-esteem.

The embarrassing result is silence, the Taoists don't know what to say, and they can't let him go in private; Hou Tiao is also silent, he is not a person who asks for favors, and he doesn't feel that he is helping the Taoists. It is tens of thousands of people in Liupan City.

All the way fast, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, even if the Taoists took good care of him, Hou Tiao still felt a little too much; the Taoists had exercises and could run all the way, but he could only carry his body hard, even if his body He was as strong as him, but after more than ten days, he was visibly thinner and looked sluggish.

He didn't complain, because he knew that the Taoists didn't need to stay overnight, and they took good care of him.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't wear uniforms or shackles. The Taoists gave him enough respect, which was spiritual respect, and he couldn't ask for too much.

...The capital of the gods, the seat of the Anhe Kingdom Dynasty, is also the core of Anhe Daoist Mansion; in Anhe, the relationship between the Taoist sect and the imperial power is relatively close, which is also the normal state of this world, and it is difficult for practitioners to completely separate from the secular world. There are not so many famous mountains and great rivers for practitioners to practice in seclusion. The living environment in this world is not very good, and there are too many threats to human existence.

Practitioners cannot distance themselves from ordinary people, because they want to protect ordinary people, unless one day, those threats no longer exist.

Shendu is a majestic city, which is different from the low Liupan. The city wall here is over ten feet high. It can not only defend against the army of other countries, but also prevent most of the monsters that cannot fly. It is the last barrier of Anhe Imperial City.

Xiaosong and Jiyue walked in front, while Chong Ling and Hou Tiao dragged behind. Realizing that the priest had something to say, Hou Tiao deliberately slowed down.

Chong Ling gazed at the majestic city wall, and spoke rarely in more than ten days, "Have you been here?"

Hou Tiao shook her head, "Never, everything is busy and I have no free time."

Chong Ling nodded, and pointed at the horsewhip, "Take a good look, maybe it's the last one; do you feel resentment in your heart, that you didn't do anything wrong legally, but you just acted recklessly, but you end up in this situation, are you unwilling?"

Seeing Hou Tiao's silence, Taoist Chong Ling said indifferently: "It's because you don't understand Taoism. For Taoism, the first principle of our actions is to protect mortals. This is the core iron law and cannot be doubted.

That's why the mortal government judged and ruled. We only provide the root cause, but we are not responsible for the action, just to avoid falling into the situation of killing at will. "

Knowing that this sentence was a little dissatisfied, he explained: "I know that such a restriction may not be followed by every Taoist. There are many Taoists who commit crimes outside the sight, but within the sight of the Taoist, the principle must not be trampled on. !
You kill people in court, what I care about is not whether the people you kill are important or should be killed, but your dangerous thought tendency, if no one stops it, if it continues to develop, I don’t know how many people will be destroyed in your hands !
There are no absolute good or bad things about criminal names, right or wrong, once you develop the habit of killing Youxin, the final result is to become a demon!

That's why you have to pay for it. "

Thinking of something, he sighed, "In Liupan, you took the liberty to kill the shrimp generals, did you ever think that they might not retreat? Instead, they were stimulated to be ferocious and brutally slaughtered the city?"

Hou Tiao told the truth, "Since they gather on the water, they want to intimidate them; if they really want to kill people, they just rush in, so why give humans time to prepare? There is no perfect way in this world, you have to take some risks..."

Chong Ling didn't take it seriously, "So you just killed Wang Jiazi like this? You took the risk, and the result? It's too reckless, like you, it's not suitable for cultivation at all! The gambling is too big, and you put yourself to death at every turn, so what? There are so many opportunities for future generations?"

Pointing to the front, "In Liupan City, you solved our troubles. I am not a ruthless person, and I will not turn a blind eye; I have given you many opportunities along the way, changing horses with the two Taoists in front, and arranging them again at night." Each of them was monitoring you in the same room. After more than ten days, you didn't get close to them at all?

who do you think You Are?Your so-called pride is nothing in front of your strength, so you were either harmed by the Taoist rules, or you were ruined by your own cruel character. Do you think that if you have no shame in your heart, others should submit to others?
You know very well that we are not masters and apprentices, what can be done by one person, cannot be done by three people! "

This is the Taoist way of life. If he is patrolling alone, he may find an excuse to let him escape halfway for the sake of solving the problem; but since there are three people walking together, he must ask everyone The acquiescence, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

He is now facing the final hurdle to hit Tongxuan, and all resources are heavily dependent on the Dao Sect, and he will never allow any leakage to make himself lose points in the Dao Sect.So I deliberately gave this guy a chance to please the two juniors separately, but who knows if this guy is really stupid or fake?
Hou Tiao shook her head lightly, "I won't run! Because if I just run, 20 years of persistence is a joke, and I'm not me anymore."

Why didn't he understand what Taoist Chong Ling meant?But if he ran away like this, he could only wander around, desperately, and hide in XZ all day long. What's the point of such a life?
After some encounters, he understood that his biggest problem was his ability!It's not that he did right or wrong, but that what he did was beyond his ability, it's that simple!
He has never been so eager for strength like now. If he wants to obtain strength, he can only rely on Taoism. How can he, a small official in a remote town, find a way to get on this big boat?

If you can't live, then die!

As a career of cultivating Taoism, the older he gets, the more uncertain he gets. He has no time, and if he becomes a fugitive again, it will be even more hopeless!

Stepping on floating clouds is already old, and it is too late to visit Taoism and practice.
