No taboos in the world

Chapter 438 The Way to Salvation is Within

Tianchi.

It is a vital place in the heavens and is heavily guarded.

Under the special escort of two heavenly soldiers, Xu Changqing came to the bank of Tianchi Lake holding the box that sealed the evil thoughts.

Vast smoke and waves are floating, and white clouds and fairy winds are lingering.

Xu Changqing had no intention of appreciating it. He only looked at the seal in his hand carefully and said earnestly, "May the pure water of Tianchi wash away all your sins and restore peace to the world."

The voice just fell.

"Let me out!" The seal suddenly lit up with an evil blue light, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded at the same time: "You ruined me, I promise you will regret it!"

Xu Changqing had a calm expression and was unmoved: "You don't need to waste your breath, this is a strict order from the five masters, Changqing will not disobey. Besides, you are the incarnation of evil thoughts, and it is harmful rather than beneficial to exist between heaven and earth. It is better for you to wash away your sins in the Tianchi Lake, and perhaps there will be good fortune in the future."

Hearing this, the voice in the seal became even angrier: "Xu Changqing, you have never lost your magic power, nor have you been locked up, why do you have to force me into a desperate situation?"

"I don't quite understand the secret, but since the five masters have given instructions, I just need to follow their instructions."

"Ah!"

Xie Nian sneered, and then asked in a mysterious tone: "It seems that those elders did not tell you my origins."

Xu Changqing remained calm: "I don't need to know your origins, I just need to know what I should do."

However, Xie Nian seemed to be much more relaxed at this time, and there was even a hint of smile in his words: "If you knew my origins, I believe you would never do it again."

Xu Changqing said no more, put the sealed box on the ground, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recited.

"The human way is vague, the immortal way is vast, and the ghost way is joyful. When the door of life..."

"The Miraculous Scripture of the Infinite and Miraculous Soul-Saving Numinous Treasures" is a classic of the immortal way. It has great magical power, great wisdom, and incredible strength.

"Haha, even Jingtian knows my origins, but those old men just want to hide it from you. You might as well think about it yourself, what is the reason for this?"

Xu Changqing stopped talking, opened his eyes, and frowned slightly.

The evil thought continued: "Do you know what will happen if you continue?"

Xu Changqing looked at the sealed box silently.

"Believe me, it would be cruel, kid. If you do that, it would be like you personally killed five people you respected and loved for more than 20 years. Five people, this number is really clever. Guess who they are?"

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes.

"Jingtian knew what would happen, but he still let you come. Tell me, what other reason could he have, other than wanting you to kill the person you respect the most with your own hands?"

Xu Changqing frowned and his breathing became unstable.

And in this brief moment, the negative aura emanating from him was suddenly pulled into the sealed box.

The seal moved suddenly.

The clanging sounds became more and more intense.

But Xu Changqing, who was standing nearby, seemed unaware, his eyes were out of focus, and a storm was already brewing in his mind.

More and more negative energy was born from his body and was absorbed by evil thoughts. The sealed box became louder and louder, and the lid on top was about to be broken free!
next moment.

A white shoe stepped up.

The sealed box stopped beating instantly.

Hong Chen looked at Xu Changqing, who was emotionally provoked and fell into an inner demon that was unable to break free, and shook his head with a clicking sound.

This is the result of practicing in seclusion, being ignorant of worldly affairs and having no understanding of the ways of the world.

In this life, Xu Changqing was sent to Shushan by Zixuan when he was young. He was taught by the sect leader Qingwei and the four elders and had hardly ever left Shushan.

The reason why he doesn't seem to have zero emotional intelligence is that he is very smart, so he can usually always adapt to the circumstances.

But there are many unusual situations in this world.

Just as lies can be well-intentioned, loving someone can also prompt one to kill the other person.

At this time, Xu Changqing had no way around this problem.

This is not the norm for practitioners, and not all Shushan disciples are like this.

It’s just that Xu Changqing’s growth experience is too special.

Then again.

Shushan's leader Qingwei and the four elders had not been unpredictable, so they arranged for Jingtian to personally escort the seal into the Tianchi Lake.

However, no matter how much they calculated, they could not have expected that at this time Jingtian went to reminisce with Xiyao, and the impatient Xu Changqing actually came to Tianchi by himself with the box.

Is this fate?
Hong Chen: He~tui!

It's not like I haven't killed someone before, why am I talking about this?
It's just a decision or coincidence that is enough to affect the safety of the world.

Xu Changqing did nothing wrong. He just wanted to fulfill the instructions of his five masters. He also wanted to leave time for Jingtian and Xiyao who were banished to the mortal world, so he chose to escort the seal on the last leg of the journey by himself.

If you have to say it was wrong, it wasn't that I did something wrong, but that I thought something wrong.

Hong Chen stretched out his right hand, and his fluttering sleeves looked like white clouds.

The index finger gently fell on the center of Xu Changqing's eyebrows, and the invisible Taoist sword penetrated into his body, cutting off the complicated emotions of anger, fear, etc. in his mind at this moment.

In an instant, Xu Changqing's eyes became clear.

When he raised his eyelids and saw Hong Chen, he was stunned.

But Hong Chen said: "In terms of cultivation, talent, and physique, you should be the best in Shushan."

Xu Changqing blinked and was about to say something modestly, but Hong Chen's next words made him feel ashamed.

"But when it comes to the strength of your Dao heart, I'm afraid you can't catch up with your junior brother Chang Yin even if you try your best."

He looked down and saw the seal that was now under Hong Chen's feet, not daring to emit any light. He immediately thought of what he had just thought, and couldn't help but gasp in fear, then he moved from a sitting position to a kneeling position in shame.

"Thank you for your help, Senior. Chang Qing was almost disturbed by evil thoughts and made a big mistake, endangering the lives of the people. Chang Qing is terrified and ashamed of your teachings. Please punish me, Senior!"

Hong Chen chuckled: "As long as the mistake has not been made, it is not a big mistake. But you really should practice your mind. Also, you used to call me fellow Taoist, so you don't have to change it now. At least it still sounds good to me."

Xu Changqing bowed his head without moving and said, "I have offended you before, I hope you will forgive me. I just saw you passing the tribulation, it's like seeing the blue sky!"

"Hahaha, it's over, it's over."

Hong Chen withdrew his hand and helped Xu Changqing up.

"Thank you, senior." While speaking, his eyes were still fixed on the seal under Hong Chen's feet. He could not hide the fear in his eyes, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Hong Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "I succeeded in overcoming the tribulation this time. Shushan has been of great help to me. I left a lot of notes and annotations in the Shushan Library. You can take a good look at them when you go back. In addition, what I just said was not just a casual remark. If Chang Yin could enter the heaven, do you know what would happen?"

Xu Changqing looked ashamed: "Please give me some advice, senior."

Hong Chen moved his toes slightly, pointed at the seal and said, "Since Qingwei and the four elders asked Jingtian for help, it is enough to prove that they know what the outcome will be. Moreover, you also know what serious consequences will be caused if this evil thought is broken, so you should know that you must pay a price to eliminate it."

Xu Changqing looked reluctant.

Hong Chen continued, "If Chang Yin were here again, he would not hesitate, but would throw it into the Tianchi without saying a word."

"This……"

"You do not believe?"

"No, Chang Qing believes that Junior Brother Chang Yin has a strong heart, but if he knew that it would kill the five masters..."

"So what?" Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is death the end?"

Xu Changqing was stunned.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "No. For practitioners, death is far from the end. Even if the soul is scattered, it does not mean that the person will disappear forever. Heaven and earth are not kind, but they are also the most kind. Others may not know what you have done, but how can you hide it from heaven and earth? They may die today, but perhaps tomorrow they will have a chance to be reborn because they have eliminated a disaster. Maybe you no longer know the five masters, but their essence will not change, so you may meet again in the future.

But now you have blocked their chance and almost let him escape. If he causes endless killing, you will have to destroy him in the end. By then, the merits of your five masters will become nothing. Will they have a chance to come back again?"

Xu Changqing's face turned pale and his body was shaking.

Hong Chen seemed not to have seen it, his eyes swept across Tianchi, and then said: "If it was Chang Yin, the evil thoughts would not interfere with him at all. It's not because he doesn't care about the life and death of Qingwei and the four elders, but because he knows very well what he is doing is right and what he is doing is wrong.

Maybe sometimes such a decision will make him look very paranoid, but such a person is also the most suitable to be entrusted with important tasks, because you don't have to worry that he will turn against you for some strange reason.

Saving the people of the world is a big proposition, and it is also the principle that the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect has always adhered to since its founding.

So, let alone Qingwei and the four elders, even if it costs his life, your life, or the lives of all the disciples of Mount Shu, I don't think he will hesitate at all.

Therefore, he knew that this was what Shushan should do.

And you...

Changqing, do you know what you should do?"

Xu Changqing was speechless and took a step back, but his body was unstable and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Hong Chen felt that the time was right and stopped preaching.

Immediately, he stretched his hand into the seal, and a ball of dark blue evil thoughts was immediately captured in his palm.

The evil thoughts, like rolling clouds and mist, begged for mercy in a panicked voice, and kept swearing oaths, even kneeling down and becoming slaves, just to be able to survive.

Listening to his noisy and shrill pleading, Xu Changqing looked up suddenly, fearing that Hong Chen could not help but agree.

However, what he saw next would inevitably affect his life.

Hong Chen looked at the evil thought in his hand expressionlessly. Listening to the evil thought's pleading was like listening to the natural sounds of breeze and drizzle, insects and birds. His expression did not change at all.

After a while, as if because he couldn't hear anything new, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.

then.

With five fingers clenched, it was refined in an instant.

For a moment, Xu Changqing seemed to be stunned even in his soul.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said anxiously: "Senior..."

Hong Chen pressed his hand.

A towering sword intent suddenly rose up, and the sharp aura made Xu Changqing's soul chilled, as if he would be inadvertently wiped out by this sword intent in the next moment.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment and then disappeared completely, like an illusion.

Then, Xu Changqing looked at Hong Chen and opened his mouth, and five figures fell in front of him like rolling gourds.

“This… Master!”

Xu Changqing was horrified and reached out to help, but his hands touched nothing.

Qingwei and the four elders climbed up, looked at each other, and then saluted Hong Chen together.

Hong Chen nodded, they stood up and glanced at Xu Changqing with encouragement on their faces, then turned into five points of light and entered the mortal world.

"They practiced forbidden techniques to remove evil thoughts in order to gain a large increase in mana in a short period of time. However, the evil thoughts that were removed also contained part of their spirits, so they were full of spirituality and could absorb the evil thoughts between heaven and earth, and quickly developed spiritual wisdom. Because the spirits and souls have the same origin, if the evil thoughts are eliminated, they will also die."

"Changqing understands." Xu Changqing took a deep breath, pulled up his skirt, and was about to kneel down to Hong Chen again.

Hong Chen waved his hand and made him unable to move.

"Okay, I know you're grateful to me, but will it do me any good if you kowtow to me?"

Xu Changqing was startled, and quickly said, "Senior, if you have any instructions, Changqing will certainly obey them."

Hearing this, Hong Chen smiled.

He pulled out another red thread from his wrist and handed it to Xu Changqing.

"Go and fall in love, have a passionate love affair. When you meet someone you truly love, give her this red thread."

Xu Changqing opened his mouth, but finally reached out and grasped the red thread, saying, "Junior obeys your command!"

"Don't be so generous. This red thread is a good thing. Maybe your salvation lies in it."

Xu Changqing was puzzled.

But Hong Chen had already disappeared from his sight with a smile on his face.

the other side.

Jingtian, wearing the Feipeng divine armor, became jealous after being provoked by Xuejian and defeated Chonglou.

Although he lost, Chonglou left with satisfaction as he had fulfilled his thousand-year wish. He wanted to go back and adjust his condition, and then go find the opponent whose movement of transcending the tribulation had even affected the demon world.

He was able to put pressure on him before he went through the tribulation, and now that he has gone through the tribulation that even made him feel terrified, how powerful of an opponent must he be?

After Chonglou left, Jingtian, Xuejian and Xiyao were all very happy.

However, a movie made by two people should not have the names of three people.

Xiyao left very tactfully. She knew that no matter how much Jingtian looked like Feipeng, it was not Feipeng anymore.

Jingtian and Xuejian, who were left behind, hugged each other and looked at each other affectionately.

Just when they were about to kiss, Hong Chen came.

The two of them quickly let go of each other.

Jingtian said happily: "Master! I saw you survive the tribulation, you are so amazing! I don't think I can beat you now!"

Hong Chen asked with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"

"No, no, no, Master, we haven't seen each other for so long, we can't fight as soon as we meet again, right?" Jingtian waved his hands repeatedly.

Hong Chen ignored him and said to Xue Jian, "You have a jade pendant."

Xuejian was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the jade pendant from her hand and handed it over.

Hong Chen took it, and sure enough, only half a piece was left.

"I have already solved the biggest problem you may encounter. This jade pendant is of no use to you. How about you exchange the jade pendant for Yong'an Pawn?"

Jingtian nodded frantically: "Okay, okay!"

Hong Chen glanced at him: "Do you think I'm talking to you?"

Tang Xuejian blinked, and soon understood. She immediately raised her head and chest, and said with a bright smile: "Okay! Master, I'll listen to you. I'll change!"

Jingtian was horrified.

Just as he was about to say something, Hong Chen looked at him.

"Find the other half of the jade pendant within three months, otherwise I will seal all the magic power in you."

Jingtian responded with a bitter face.

After Hong Chen left with the jade pendant, Xuejian burst out laughing.

Jingtian rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.

She immediately said, "If you dare to look at me like that again, you will never be able to return to Yong'an in your lifetime."

Jingtian's expression changed instantly, and his smile became flattering and fawning.
