Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. Let's just talk about what we have to discuss between brothers."

Jiang Lu's status in Dong Wanggong's heart was obviously very high. He spoke enthusiastically, which made Jiang Lu feel a little embarrassed.

This is no wonder. Dong Wanggong is a kind of sister-con. Queen Mother of the West holds the highest position in his heart. Jiang Lu also had a romantic past with Queen Mother of the West. Although he does not know what happened between the two of them, he can judge that his sister is definitely serious because she told her family's secrets to her.

In addition, although Jiang Lu cannot be considered a positive character, his identity and achievements are there. Even if there was no relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, the King of the East would regard him as a goal to catch up with, not to mention that they are now a family, so it is natural for him to speak enthusiastically.

Jiang Lu thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Before I put forward my idea, can I ask you first, if you find your sister's three corpses, what are you going to do?"

"Needless to say, of course I will kill it directly and make it disappear into ashes, so that it will never affect my sister." Dong Wanggong answered without hesitation.

"But have you ever thought that if you kill the three corpse spirits, it will affect your sister?"

"Impossible." Dong Wanggong simply shook his head at Jiang Lu's hypothesis.

"Why isn't it possible?"

"Because everyone kills the three corpses." Dong Wanggong was a little surprised, as if he couldn't understand why Jiang Lu asked such a well-known question.

"Is what everyone does necessarily right?" Jiang Lu asked again.

"I don't know if it's right or not, but since everyone is doing this, there must be a reason. And since ancient times, those who want to become immortals need to kill the three corpses. Who among those who have become immortals in the immortal world has not killed the three corpses? Aren't they still fine?"

At this point, Dong Wanggong finally couldn't help but ask:
"Brother-in-law, why do you act like you've never practiced before? Aren't these the most basic cognitions? Do you think there's something wrong with this?"

Jiang Lu shook his head slightly, but answered the question irrelevantly: "Before the emergence of quantum physics, everyone thought that classical physics was all there was to physics."

Dong Wanggong was stunned: "Ah, although, do you think physics is meaningful to us?"

"I'm not talking to you about physics." Jiang Lu, who only knew a little bit and didn't dare to go into detail, changed the subject: "Is there no immortal who has never killed the three corpses?"

Jiang Lu originally said this to bring up his own actual case of never beheading the Three Corpses but gaining more benefits. He used this as a theoretical basis to tell Dong Wanggong that accepting and overcoming the evil desires of the Three Corpses is actually one of the best ways to reach a higher level after becoming a main god.

As long as Dong Wanggong accepted this theory, it would be natural for him to be his wingman to contribute to his plan to conquer Xi Wangmu again.

But what was unexpected was that after Dong Wanggong thought about it, he actually thought of a person who had not killed the three corpses but had become an immortal and had achieved a high level of achievement.

"It seems that there really is such a person." Dong Wanggong stroked the stubble on his chin: "Taiyi has never killed the three corpses."

"Oh, is that so? I really didn't know about this." Jiang Lu had no choice but to put up with him for now and asked with pretended curiosity, "Then, how did he become?"

“He encountered a calamity.” Dong Wanggong shrugged. “His master, my elder brother Yuanshi Tianzun, couldn’t help him either. After the Conferred God List was finalized, he went into seclusion to avoid the calamity. I haven’t seen him since.”

"A murderous disaster?" Jiang Lu was puzzled.

He himself didn't kill the three corpses, so why did he never encounter any killing disaster?
"Yes, it was a killing calamity. Not only did his thousands of years of cultivation turn to nothing, but his life was also in danger at any time. He could only linger in his intensive care unit-like Golden Light Cave, relying on the magic circle left by my eldest brother to keep him alive."

Dong Wanggong sighed:
"These three corpses are just like the appendix. Normally, it doesn't matter whether it is there or not, but once it attacks, it can be a matter of life and death.

How majestic was Taiyi when he was in the human world before, but what happened in the end? Didn't he still live a lonely and isolated life? "

Jiang Lu felt something was not good when he heard it.

I, a positive example, haven't even made my debut yet, so how come the negative examples are almost dying?
Only then did he understand why Dong Wanggong was so persistent in believing that the Three Corpse Spirits of the Queen Mother of the West, Jin Yao, would retaliate against her after breaking the seal of Gaishi Mountain. It turned out that Dong Wanggong had seen the consequences with his own eyes.

So how can this be done?
Compared to this story that Dong Wanggong could only hear, it seems that Taiyi Zhenren's example, which he saw with his own eyes, is more convincing.
Just as Jiang Lu was thinking about how to continue the topic and make Dong Wanggong change his mind, Dong Wanggong continued: "But in the end, it's still my eldest brother's fault. Taiyi shouldn't have been so miserable."

"What does this have to do with Yuanshi Tianzun?" Jiang Lu asked in confusion.

“How should I put it?” Dong Wanggong scratched his head in annoyance, as if he was looking for the right words: “It’s strange, but that’s a bit too much. It can only be said to be a coincidence, but it’s just this coincidence that caused Taiyi to fail to behead the three corpses.”

"Elaborate."

“My eldest brother’s cultivation is so profound that he can see what will happen in the future. So he knew about the disaster many years before the Conferred God War began.

Therefore, he entrusted his most trusted disciple Taiyi with the important task and sent him to the human world to make arrangements.

But at that time, Taiyi was in the critical period of beheading the three corpses. But there was no other way. Compared with the peace in the world, he had to put this matter aside temporarily and walk the world in place of my eldest brother.

As a result, he was delayed. The Conferred God List had just been finalized when the killing calamity came. But by then it was too late to save the situation. Even he, the eldest brother, was powerless to save the situation. "

Dong Wanggong sighed, full of regret:

"At first I was curious as to why Taiyi didn't kill the three corpses, but in the end I realized that it was all due to the current situation.

The dust of the times is like a mountain when it falls on everyone. Even if you are an immortal, what can you do? Won’t you be crushed to death?
In the past, people always said that if you didn't kill the three corpses, there would be disasters. Although everyone followed the rules, they rarely took it seriously. It is precisely because of his existence that those who became immortals in the future took him as a warning and killed the three corpses as soon as possible to avoid repeating his mistakes. "

"Is this so"

He does not mean that.

Dong Wanggong might have regarded Taiyi as just a promising young man who died young, but Jiang Lu couldn't help but think of more.

First of all, some of the content in the story told by Dong Wanggong is somewhat contradictory.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun could foresee the Battle of the Gods, couldn't he foresee that letting Taiyi Zhenren make the plan for him would ultimately lead to the sacrifice of such a talented person with a bright future who was expected to become the main god?
Even if Yuanshi Tianzun only predicted major changes that could affect the world situation, if the consequences of not beheading the Three Corpses are so serious, others may not take it seriously, but how could he not know it?
So in Jiang Lu's opinion, no matter what, Yuanshi Tianzun's problem cannot be washed away.

This really can't be called a coincidence. He knew the consequences, but still let Taiyi Zhenren do it.

In fact, this is exactly the same as him personally killing Taiyi Zhenren.

So when Jiang Lu heard Dong Wanggong say that in the end even Yuanshi Tianzun was powerless to save the situation, he really couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's obvious that the problem can be solved by replacing it with a disciple who has already killed three corpses, but he still talks about how helpless he is.
Ok?
Jiang Lu suddenly reacted.

What if he originally wanted Taiyi to encounter a fatal disaster and go back to Jinguan Cave to go to jail?
Jiang Lu would never think that a person like Yuanshi Tianzun would make a mistake due to negligence. His every move must have a deep meaning.

But if this was also what he did on purpose, then what would be the consequences for Taiyi Zhenren after he encountered the killing calamity?
Dong Wangong said that all the immortals in the fairy world regard beheading the three corpses as something that must be done, and the example of Taiyi Zhenren serves as a warning to them all the time.

Is it Yuanshi Tianzun's purpose to let all immortals kill the three corpses?
why?
Jiang Lu couldn't figure it out for the time being.

There are too many mysteries about Yuanshi Tianzun.

Why did Dong Wanggong open casinos all over the Sanqing Realm? Why did Taiyi Zhenren, who had not killed the Three Corpses, make the arrangements for him? And if Jiang Lu's speculation was correct, why did all the immortals have to kill the Three Corpses?

And the fact that he can predict how the world will change.

If the Battle of the Gods is considered a major event that affects one world, then is the Battle of the Underworld, an even bigger event that affects all worlds, part of his plan?
Could the opening of casinos be linked to this matter?

There were so many doubts that Jiang Lu even felt overwhelmed.

"Forget it." He comforted himself: "Thinking about these now will only cause more trouble. Let's focus on the present." Thinking of this, Jiang Lu stopped thinking about Yuanshi Tianzun's problem. He changed the subject and said to Dong Wanggong: "In fact, there is another example that you don't know about, where the three corpses were not killed but the ending was very good."

"I don't believe it." Dong Wanggong shook his head.

“That’s me.” Jiang Lu opened his arms and showed himself generously: “I didn’t kill the three corpses, but I didn’t encounter the killing calamity like Taiyi Zhenren. In my opinion, the killing calamity is a low-probability event.”

"Uh" Dong Wanggong looked at Jiang Lu suspiciously: "You?"

"Yes, you still don't believe what your brother-in-law said? I really didn't kill the three corpses." Jiang Lu emphasized.

“I believe this.” Dong Wanggong nodded slowly, then asked, “What I doubt is that you were dismembered, and the Lord God’s cultivation and godhood were all destroyed. Can this be considered an example of a good ending?”

"?" Jiang Lu was startled and said angrily, "Why are you talking about something else?"

Dong Wanggong spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

“Being torn into pieces has nothing to do with not killing the three corpses. It is precisely because I did not kill the three corpses that I was able to become the strongest Lord of the Underworld in history. My strength is unique among the main gods.”

Jiang Lu put his hands on his waist and corrected him sternly:
"If I had killed the three corpses, it would have been impossible for us to get to this point. Then it would have been someone else who would have been dismembered. Do you understand what I mean?"

“Well, you said it too.” Dong Wanggong said stubbornly, “If you killed the three corpses, someone else would be dismembered, so whether you were dismembered or not is related to whether you killed the three corpses or not.”

"Why are you so stubborn, kid?"

Jiang Lu was anxious and angry: "What I mean is that if that happens, there will definitely be someone more powerful than me who will be the Lord of the Underworld. It won't be my turn, understand?"

"Don't worry, let me sort it out."

Dong Wanggong began to think seriously again and repeated Jiang Lu's words:

"What you want to say is that because you did not kill the three corpses and took a different path from the masses, you achieved higher achievements and became the most powerful master of the underworld."

"Yes."

"Then why were you dismembered?"

"Fuck you!" Jiang Lu finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "That was an accident! It was a premeditated plan. Even if I killed the three corpses, as long as I was in that position, this would definitely happen!"

"But is it possible that if you beheaded him, the dismemberment could be avoided?"

"."

Jiang Lu gave up.

Who could have thought that Dong Wanggong was so stubborn, as if his brain was missing a string, that he would conclude that there was a necessary connection between the two things.

This made it impossible for Jiang Lu to carry out the next work.

"Forget it." Jiang Lu sighed: "If you are so stubborn, just pretend that I never said anything just now. I don't have any ideas now."

Although Dong Wanggong was very stubborn, he was not stupid. After listening to what Jiang Lu said, he understood that it seemed that the idea that Jiang Lu did not express was related to the outcome of the dispute over beheading the three corpses.

If you don't agree with his point of view, he won't express his thoughts.

So he could probably guess what the idea was.

"Brother-in-law, you don't actually mean that the fact that my sister's three corpse spirits broke the seal and escaped is actually a good thing for my sister, right?" Dong Wanggong asked suspiciously.

Jiang Lu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally nodded: "Well, that's what I think. In my personal example, that's the case."

Duke Dong pursed his lips and said nothing.

Deep down he believed that Jiang Lu would not harm the Queen Mother of the West, but this was contrary to his usual belief, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Jiang Lu saw his doubts and said frankly: "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't trust you, but the consequences of this matter are very serious and we can't be careless, so I have to think carefully about it."

Dong Wanggong said with a little hesitation:
"Even if what you said is true, I know you want to use this to help my sister advance, but if the price is for her to encounter something similar to you, I absolutely cannot accept it."

Jiang Lu sighed and chose to come clean: "But have you ever thought that your sister has already accepted it?"

"Will you accept being dismembered?" Dong Wanggong said with difficulty: "If this is her decision, although I don't understand it, I can only respect it."

"You just can't stand dismemberment, right?"

Jiang Lu clenched his fists again and again:
"She accepted the evil desires of the three corpses because she understood that killing the three corpses was just a way of escaping from the evil side of her own human nature. However, escaping could not solve the problem at all. Only by accepting and overcoming it could she enter a higher realm with a perfect body."

"Overcome." Dong Wanggong's eyes were full of confusion: "But can the deepest desires of human nature really be overcome?"

"can."

Jiang Lu nodded firmly:
"Look at me, your brother-in-law. Haven't I overcome these desires that are completely impossible to overcome in the eyes of ordinary people?

In other words, it is precisely because this is difficult and beyond the reach of ordinary people that I, who have done this, can achieve what ordinary people cannot, right?"

Dong Wanggong stared at Jiang Lu for a long time without saying a word.

Jiang Lu felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Wanggong still didn't speak.

"You're talking, are you dumb?"

Dong Wanggong still didn't say anything, but his expression looked very uncomfortable.

"What happened?"

Unable to withstand Jiang Lu's pressure, Dong Wanggong finally said honestly: "Brother-in-law, although we were not familiar with each other before today, I have heard of some of your deeds.

The most recent ones are the ten evils of Taoism: frivolous talk, false speech, abusive language, slander, greed, anger, ignorance, killing, stealing, and adultery.

Far more recent are the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, wrath, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.

Just tell me which one you have overcome? Just name three and that’s what you say today.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lu was in a trance for a long time, and then he said angrily:

"You are so fucking bold!" (End of this chapter)
