Chapter 117: Heaven is ruthless
After ending a painful experience, Zhu Ling showed a slight sense of relief.
She let out a long sigh and continued.
"That resentment took away my mind. I couldn't fight it, so I could only hide my soul in my eyes.
Since then, I have been traveling among various races including humans, demons, and the ancestors of the devil, constantly devouring the young people of each race and even the strong ones of the teenage generation.
I heard that there is a Jixia Academy here. Children who are selected by this academy must be extremely talented.
When I came to Zibojun, I found that I didn't dare to go near the academy at all, and could only wander around it every day.
I wandered to Mingsanli City and met Li Xueyu.
When I was bored, I wanted to tease him.
Finally, on the seventh day after meeting Li Xueyu, Zhang Tianshi found the resentment.
After Zhang Tianshi came to the mortal world, I realized that the resentment was the devil.
Mo Tu was one of the six demons killed by the Heavenly Master at Qingcheng Mountain in Shu before he ascended to heaven.
After Mo Tu died, a trace of consciousness condensed into resentment.
Zhang Tianshi could have killed the demon Tu, but the demon Tu was cunning and hid within me.
The Heavenly Master who descended was the soul of the Heavenly Master from the ancestral temple.
To kill Mo Tu, you must kill me too.
Our fox clan's Nine-Tailed Ancestor had a past relationship with the Heavenly Master, and that's why the Heavenly Master set up this Hundred Virtues Formation to trap Mo Tu and me here."
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and Ma Zhan was a bit confused. "But what does this have to do with whether I am kind or not?"
Ma Zhan continued to listen patiently. Zhu Ling's voice, which was crisp and slightly charming, was also a pleasure.
“The so-called hundred good things are the good people in this city.
The Heavenly Master’s formation implies the Way of Heaven.
The so-called Dao Fifty, Tian Yan forty-nine.
Among all the good people, there is an evil person, Pi Saner.
There was also a gap left for Mo Tu in the formation.
He can use that painting to pull people into the formation and replace anyone in the formation uncertainly.
Countless children were pulled into the formation one after another. As soon as they came in, they were extremely panicked and frightened.
Since everyone in the city except Pi Saner is a good person, the citizen whose soul is replaced will not be in danger.
Although Mo Tu could recognize at a glance that the child was from outside, he did not take any action.
Because eating these children would not help him at all and might even anger the Heavenly Master.
Let the Heavenly Master no longer worry about my existence and kill both of us together.
The Hundred Virtues Formation cycles once every seven days. During the seven days that the Heavenly Master intercepted, no babies were born and no old people died in Ming Sanli City.
After seven days in the array, the child whose soul enters will have his or her memories of the array erased and return to the body of the original person.
In this way, the formation ran for countless cycles, and Mo Tu pulled in countless people.
Ming Sanli City has been operating like this.
Until you came."
As the sun sets in the west, the hustle and bustle of Mingsanli gradually fades away.
A woman in red and a young man sat next to each other, watching the sunset.
The woman seemed to be telling some intriguing story, and the boy was listening to the "story" attentively.
“Since you came here, Ming Sanli City has been completely calm.
Mo Tu was sure that the person coming this time was not an ordinary person.
In the past six days, Mo Tu had been secretly observing everyone in Mingsanli City, but he didn't discover anything.
Until the last day, Mo Tu couldn't bear it anymore and he appeared in the city.
Just to cause a little commotion, hopefully find you.
But he miscalculated, you didn't reveal a single flaw.
In the end, it was your kindness that exposed you.
You beat Li Xueyu with punches and kicks, and the beating was very real.
However, when Mo Tu helped him home, he found that he was not injured at all.
Pi Saner is the only evil person in this great formation of a hundred virtues, and he will not show mercy when he beats people.
Then Pi Saner is the person whose soul has been replaced.
What surprised him even more was that you were born indestructible.
Motu feels that the time has come, so it is determined to eat you at all costs.
It may be that Mo Tu himself is a kind of resentment, and under his infection, the thing in your body comes out.
That thing also looked like a resentment, which was very consistent with Mo Tu's state.
In the end, Mo Tu decided to give up my body, choose a body that was more compatible with him, and then eat my demon pill and body.
He originally thought that he could recreate his demonic body, break the formation, and from then on return to the human world.
Now it seems that all this was within the calculations of the Heavenly Master.
The path that the Heavenly Master left for Mo Tu is the path to death."
The sun in the west was getting lower and lower, and the two of them were very quiet under the sunset.
Although Ma Zhan felt a little unsatisfied, what Zhu Ling said contained too much information, and he had to use his brain, which had been struck by lightning, to digest it.
Zhang Tianshi is really great. He casually set up this formation with just a wisp of his soul, and he even calculated what would happen hundreds of years later.
If I, the variable, don't come in, then is there someone else who can act as this variable?
"Why?..."
Ma Zhan thought of something and suddenly interrupted his thoughts and asked:
Sister Zhu Ling, I played the only villain in Ming Sanli City, and in the end I teased you in a hooligan way.
Uh~... After teasing that demon, didn't you two notice anything wrong?"
"Absolutely not."
Zhu Ling's affirmative tone was like a critical hit.
Ma Zhan was roaring in his heart, 'Wow, do I really fit the image of a gangster?
There's absolutely no flaws, I'm really...
He secretly glanced at Zhu Ling's expression and quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Zhu Ling, you said that the great war hundreds of years ago was initiated by the human race.
Why didn't immortals like Zhang Tianshi, or that heavenly way, stop it?
Are we just going to watch all the people suffer?"
Zhu Ling sighed softly.
“The Way of Heaven is inherently merciless; it will neither pity the poor nor punish the wicked.
War is also an inevitable and important element in the mortal world, and the laws of nature will not prevent any war from happening.
Humans, demons, beasts, monsters and other groups all exist under the order of heaven.
People like Zhang Tianshi who have ascended to heaven must act in accordance with the laws of nature.
The Way of Heaven is ruthless, and the strong men of all races are gradually becoming ruthless, which is more in line with the Way of Heaven."
There was only half of the sun hanging in the west. Perhaps it was the hundreds of years of ban that made Zhu Ling so talkative.
Ma Zhan also took the opportunity to ask many questions about the way of heaven, immortals, and other ethnic groups.
Zhu Ling slowly stood up and looked towards Mingsanli City with some reluctance.
When the sun sets, the small town where she has lived for hundreds of years no longer exists.
Ma Zhan followed Zhu Ling's gaze and also looked towards the small town.
Ma Zhan suddenly thought of a question.
“Sister Zhu Ling, after the sun sets, Ming Sanli disappears.
What will happen to the people in the city? Will they disappear as well?"
Zhu Ling looked at Ma Zhan with gentle eyes.
"My dear, you are indeed a kind person.
This small town was destroyed hundreds of years ago, and the people in it have long since died."
"I understand..."
When Ma Zhan saw that there was only a sliver of sunlight left, he knew he had to go back and felt a little guilty.
He played the role of a local thug for seven days and was almost possessed by that disgusting stuff.
I didn't get anything, this won't do.
