I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

Hearing these two words, Lin Hezhen's pupils shrank suddenly, and a strong sense of familiarity came to his heart, which shocked him, as if something was about to come out.

At this moment, he felt that a certain lost memory seemed to be awakened.

The other party noticed Lin Hezhen's abnormality, sneered and said mockingly: "You still remember it, right? Yes, how could you forget it? This is your father's factory, your favorite place to play when you were a child, and How could you forget the root cause of the drastic change in your family?!"

"dad......"

Lin Hezhen's body trembled suddenly, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

There was a loud bang in his head, as if tens of billions of thoughts were fighting in an instant, making him a little dizzy and his body a little unsteady.

"Hahaha, you finally remembered, right? [Lin He] [True Lord]!"

Seeing Lin Hezhen's painful expression, the other party smiled more and more ferociously.

"It was because the factory had a cash flow problem and the bank couldn't borrow money that your dad took the risk and borrowed a loan shark. As a result, the business did not improve and the factory closed down. Dad was forced by debt collectors to sell everything he could. thing, and finally hanged himself, and you..."

[Lin He] suddenly paused in his words, and deep-seated regret and hatred appeared in his eyes.

"As the only male in the family, you should have taken on the responsibility of protecting the family at this time, replacing your father as the support of your mother and sister, but because you touched that damn wormhole, you traveled directly to a different world!"

"You are very lucky. Not only have you joined the top Immortal Cultivation Sect, you have the talent to be one of the best in cultivation, but you also have the golden finger of automatic cultivation, which allows you to stand out and be accepted as a disciple by the leader, becoming the youngest Yuan Yuan in the history of the sect. Infant monk.”

[Lin He] said coldly, his eyes full of sadness and pity.

"But have you ever thought about what kind of situation your mother and sister will face after you leave? What kind of mental blow will they suffer from losing two close relatives in one day? How will they survive without housing, savings and jobs? ?”

[Lin He] became more and more excited as he talked. He clenched his hands into fists, his nails pierced his palms, and blood seeped out, but he didn't care.

At the end of his words, his voice became hoarse and his tone became choked with sobs, and he shed tears full of regret and sadness: "You are lucky, but also sad at the same time, because you failed to shoulder your responsibility and protect your mother and sister. "

"What's more, you later traveled to the daily world of this Dharma-ending era, met and developed relationships with beautiful girls from all walks of life, and enjoyed the blessings of everyone... It's so selfish! What do you want your mother and sister to do? Only I can achieve happiness, what about them?"

Lin Hezhen lowered his head, clenched his fists with his hands, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

And [Lin He] was still accusing him endlessly. Every word he said was like a sharp blade thrust into Lin Hezhen's heart, cutting his flesh and hollowing out his soul.

"You are always tormented by a sense of guilt in your heart. You have a huge flaw in your Taoist heart. If it cannot be made up for, you will never be able to pursue the supreme road. You will only live in guilt and pain and suffer. You will never be able to escape the shackles. In the end, Obsessed!"

[Lin He] said at the end, his voice was almost roaring: "You have no right or qualification to love those girls!"

"Bangdang~"

The dagger in Lin Hezhen's hand fell to the ground, his eyes dim.

"I...I remembered everything..."

His body was trembling slightly, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were severely chapped, and his whole body was crumbling like a candle in the wind, looking like he might collapse at any time.

When [Lin He] saw him like this, his eyes flashed with the light of a successful conspiracy: "Fortunately, if I think about it now, it's not too late. You still have a chance to make up for your mistakes."

Lin Hezhen raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "To make up for it...do I still have a chance?"

[Lin He] looked at his longing eyes and smiled: "Of course. Do you still remember why you came here? Yes, you are here to overcome the tribulation, the inner demon tribulation. In order to break through to the 'Entry Stage', once promoted In the 'Entry Stage', you can rely on your soul to locate the world where you were first born and return to your family."

"As long as you properly arrange for your mother and sister and end the relationship between you and them, you can embark on the path of cultivation with peace of mind, no longer burdened with heavy burdens and shackles, and no longer need to continue to struggle with self-blame, annoyance and guilt. Pursue the high road with all your heart!”

Hearing this, Lin Hezhen shuddered: "Then...how can I survive the 'Inner Demon Tribulation'...and advance to the 'Entertainment Stage'?"

[Lin He] looked at the confusion in his eyes and said solemnly: "Those who pursue the way of heaven truly know that there are many things to be feared in life and death. If you don't have the consciousness to cut off all the worldly connections and abandon everything, you will definitely not be able to ascend to immortality! The path to true cultivation is , just so lonely."

"Love in the world is nothing more than infatuation, which is inherently false. Only by giving up the seven emotions and six desires and cutting off all obsessions can you achieve the eternal path to immortality. Whether you can cut off the calamity of love depends on yourself."

[Lin He] slowly bent down to pick up the dagger and handed it to Lin Hezhen: "I have dealt with all the other women, except Megumi Kato, who is still locked up in the warehouse on the second floor. As long as you can kill her with your own hands , you will be able to survive the 'Inner Demon Tribulation' and achieve the supreme path!"

Chapter 367 Dharma is like a raft, you should leave it alone when crossing the river

[Lin He] showed a strange smile on his face: "I believe that with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Kato Megumi."

"Kill... Megumi?"

Lin Hezhen looked at the dagger that shone with cold light, and the gentle and peaceful face of Kato Megumi appeared in his mind, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"You want me to kill Hui?" He looked at the other party in disbelief, his face changing constantly.

How could he possibly kill Hui!

Hui is so gentle, kind, and considerate... She is Lin Hezhen's beloved wife. If he kills Hui, he will never forgive himself in this life.

[Lin He] sneered: "What? Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"As long as you kill her, you can successfully survive the 'Inner Demon Tribulation' and advance to the 'Entertainment Stage'. Otherwise, you will never be able to escape the shackles for the rest of your life. You can only live in guilt and self-blame, and you will never be able to achieve immortality!"

"Why must Hui be killed in order to achieve immortality?" Lin He asked.

"Why?" [Lin He] sneered: "Those of us who are cultivating immortals know that my teaching is like a raft metaphor. The law should be given up, let alone illegal?"

"People in the world can abandon their lives to pursue money, but for existences at our level, will we care about money? We don't pursue money because money doesn't have much effect on us, so people won't care about it. Crazy. So is the love between a man and a woman."

"Emotions in the mortal world are something that maintains relationships between people, maintains family stability, and maintains human reproduction. For us cultivators, the focus is not on the relationship between people, but on the relationship between ourselves and the way of heaven. There is no need to focus on the family, and there is no need to reproduce children and grandchildren.”

"In this case, do emotions in the ordinary sense still have meaning to us?"

"Mortal people are intoxicated by their emotions and desires, and even disregard life and death. From the emperor to the common people, the people of Guizhou, and the heroes, they all died for love and hatred."

"My generation of monks is different. We are gods who are superior to all living beings. Our goal is the path of immortality. How can we lose the foundation of the path for the sake of the love of our children, let our own realm regress, and our path be greatly reduced?"

"The Dharma is like a raft, you must leave when you cross the river. For you, Kato Megumi and others are just bridges connecting you to this world. Now that you have been recognized by this world, Kato Megumi and others are useless. It is their honor to be killed by you and become a stepping stone for you to become stronger."

"If you want to kill the inner demon, you must personally cut off the fetters in your heart. Only by cutting off the ordinary emotions can you embark on a truly powerful path, and one day in the future, you can transcend all shackles and embark on immortality."

After listening to [Lin He]'s words, Lin Hezhen fell into a long silence.

"Hui..." Lin Hezhen's face showed pain, entanglement and struggle.

Scenes of the past passed before his eyes, and the memories of meeting and falling in love with Mai Sakurajima, Yukinoshita Yukino, Kaguya Shinomiya, Megumi Kato and others seemed to be what happened yesterday, one by one. pile, clearly engraved in his heart.

Dharma is like a raft, you should leave it alone when crossing the river.

Should immortal cultivators regard the people around them as "seeds" and "rafts", not caring about their former oaths and their lives, and just give up everything that belongs to mortals without hesitation, just to be satisfied? Do you have the pursuit of immortality in your heart?

Is that really correct?

Lin Hezhen's emotions were surging violently, as if waves of anger were beating on his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.

-------------------------------------

"Success!"

In the warehouse on the second floor, Kato Megumi kept cutting the rope with the micro-serrated knife on the ring, and finally cut the rope and broke free from the shackles that bound her.

Although her wrists were repeatedly rubbed by the ropes during the process, causing her flesh and blood to be bruised and bleeding, she still gritted her teeth and persisted until the ropes on her body were cut off one by one.

Kato Megumi, who had regained her freedom, had no time to check her injuries. She endured the burning sting from the wound, stood up and ran out the door staggeringly.

"The series of loud noises I heard just now should be gunshots. Could it be that Kazuma and Shinomiya-san came to rescue me? I have to join them quickly." Kato Kei thought as he quickened his pace.

She stepped onto a narrow bridge made of steel, and beneath it was a dark abyss.

After Kato Megumi ran a few steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, she held on to the railing on the side and barely supported her body. Then she looked down and saw that her ankle was torn by the rope, and blood seeped out, staining her fair skin red.

"Hiss, it hurts... Hey, what is this?"

Kato Megumi was shocked to see that there was a high "mountain" in the abyss under the bridge. There were many crows gathering on the "mountain". They were either circling or staying, tearing something on the "mountain", and saying "Wow" in their mouths. "Wow", the strange cry, the voice is rough and hoarse, making people feel chilling.

After adapting to the dim light here, Kato Kei finally saw the entire mountain clearly, and couldn't help but change her color in shock——

Where is this mountain?It was clearly a giant tomb made of countless human corpses!

These corpses are hideous and terrifying, and their deaths are all bizarre and horrific.

Some had big holes in their chests; some had their abdomens cut open, and their intestines and internal organs flowed out; some had half their heads missing, with their gray-white brains exposed; some had their eyes wide open, and they could not rest in peace. ; Others are like coke, emitting green smoke...

There were thousands of corpses piled up!They are piled up one after another, densely packed together, like a small hill!

Many of the corpses were rotting and emitting a strong stench that made people sick to their stomach.

The most shocking thing is that these corpses all have the same face. That face is full of resentment and hatred, and there is also a weird smile, which is creepy.

"[Lin He]... These people, these corpses, are all [Lin He]! What on earth is going on?" Kato Megumi's legs began to tremble, and she felt that she seemed to have touched this The filthiest, most evil part of the world, and my heart was pounding.

She instinctively quickened her pace, stumbled away from here holding on to the railing, and ran forward.

Megumi Kato crossed the steel bridge and came to the core area of ​​the factory, where Hayashi Kazuma and Shinomiya Kaguya had previously fought a fierce battle with [Lashi He].

Now there is no trace of Lin Hezhen or that monster, only a pile of ruins and a lot of shocking blood stains.

"Kato..." A weak call came from behind the ruins.

"I'm here!" Kato Megumi was delighted and immediately ran over following the sound.

I saw Shinomiya Kaguya huddled in a corner deep in the ruins, her face pale and her breath weak.

Although my brother 368 Zhang I has attained the Tao, it is the way of protection.

Kato Megumi ran to Shinomiya Kaguya and saw that her clothes were stained red with blood, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she looked dying.

"Shinomiya-san..." Kato Kei called out worriedly, holding Kaguya Shinomiya in her arms: "Shinomiya-san, why are you injured?"

"I...cough cough...don't worry about me...cough cough cough...go and help Kazuma..." Shinomiya Hui Ye raised her head with difficulty and looked at Kato Megumi.

"He's fighting that...ahem...monster disguised as a policeman. The situation is critical now...ahem...only you can help him. ..."

In the middle of what Shinomiya Kaguya said, she suddenly coughed violently, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, staining her clothes red.

"Shinomiya-san, please stop talking and take a rest first. I will bandage your wound." Kato Megumi said anxiously.

"Don't... waste time... cough cough cough..." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head weakly and continued, "I can't... anymore. .....Go and help him, ahem...I can't do anything else for him, ahem..."

"Don't say that, Shinomiya-san, you will definitely get better!" Kato Megumi couldn't stop crying. She tried her best to comfort Shinomiya Kaguya, but found that it was useless, because the other party's vitality was visible to the naked eye. The speed is gone quickly.

"Ahem... Go now, otherwise it will be too late..." A blush appeared on Shinomiya Kaguya's face, and her eyes regained their vitality.

"Shinomiya-san!" Kato Megumi cried, knowing that this was a flashback before death.

"We must help Kazuma get rid of this reincarnation and realize the true inner demon... Megumi... I leave everything to you..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice became lower and lower, her breath gradually became weaker, and her eyes gradually became distracted.

"I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it!" Megumi Kato held Shinomiya Kaguya's hand tightly and said firmly.

"Well, I believe you." Shinomiya Kaguya forced out a smile, then closed her eyes and leaned back, losing the last trace of movement.

"Shinomiya-san..." Megumi Kato hugged her cold body, her heart filled with grief and despair, and tears bursting from her eyes.

Kato Megumi carefully laid Shinomiya Kaguya flat on the ground, took off her coat and covered her, then gritted her teeth, turned around and ran away.

-------------------------------------

On the rooftop, Lin Hezhen and [Lin He] were still confronting each other.

"What are you hesitating about?" Seeing Lin Hezhen deep in thought, [Lin He] asked with a frown, a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Why don't you kill Kato Megumi quickly? Only by killing her can you achieve the supreme road. Otherwise, you will be swallowed by this desert and never be able to escape!" [Lin He] said coldly.

When Lin Hezhen heard the words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of dark eyes shot out with a frightening cold light.

He stared at [Lin He] for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Are you sure that if you kill Kato Megumi, I will be promoted successfully?"

"Of course, we are sons of heaven and are not bound by anything. Love is just a floating cloud to us and has no value at all!" [Lin He] said proudly.

"Cultivating Taoism is the work of a man, not something that an emperor or general can compare to. A mortal emperor commands the world, has millions of soldiers, and sits on the nine states. He is angry and happy, and the country is shaken. With every word, he can influence the destiny. Such a man, in this world, Although he may seem like a real man to ordinary people, to us, he is just an ant."

"Thousands of years for those who cultivate immortality are just a blink of an eye. One family, one surname, one country, one clan, even the world's thousands of picturesque mountains and rivers, from our point of view, rise and fall in just a moment, like a flash in the pan, what's the point?"

"Mortal people are like weeds. They die once and for all. After a million years, look back at the world. Are there any new things under the sun and on the earth?"

"With a puny human body, abandoning everything and striving to control infinity and eternity, life, death and soul, how magnificent is it? Our will, strength, capacity, wisdom, and even ambition... are beyond the imagination of ants ?”

"In order to achieve such a great cause, what does it mean to sacrifice a mere love and a mere woman?"

"If you can't even advance to the 'Entry Stage', how can you return to your original world to save your mother and sister?" [Lin He] asked sternly.

"I really failed to protect my mother and sister."

Lin Hezhen lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"But, this doesn't mean that I can trample on other people's lives wantonly!"

Kato and the others are not ants, they are the people he loves, important beings that he must protect even at the risk of his life. How can he just abandon them? !

That kind of approach is not only despicable, but also selfish.
