MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 225 Clifford Taoist
Wen Jiubai's tone was like a villain in a **** comic, which made me laugh. Eight-to-one Chinese text network W≤W≈W =. ≥8 = 1≈Z≤W≈. = COM
"Really? I thought you said that evil and goodness are just some kind of social reaction." I said with a smile.
"Some are, some are not." Wen Jiubai ignored the joke at all and continued, "Some things, it can capture the darkest weakness in human nature and then attack it. No matter from the perspective of any species, That's all evil. "
"But you said, isn't this Jade Ruyi that can fulfill people's wishes?" I asked.
"That comes at a price," Wen Jiubai said quietly. "If you make a wish to Ruyi, then you have to pay a price equal to your desire. And that price is not what everyone can bear. "
"What's the price?" I asked curiously.
Unexpectedly Wen Jiubai shook his head, "I don't know."
"You do not know?"
"Because I have never really seen that thing, so the only thing I know is from the perspective of a victim who was sealed by it, and some investigations afterwards." Wen Jiubai said calmly.
"So you mean, you were sealed by something like this?" I asked.
"Just like I said, Jade Ruyi can fulfill any wish of people. So that's why a little clergyman who has no chicken power can easily seal me. After being sealed, all my strength is dissipated Around the world, you can no longer maintain the shape of a beast, you can only barely live like a human. "Wen Jiubai said lightly," Jade Ruyi can be used for good and evil. But in most cases It can only seduce the most evil side of human nature, which is why I say it is the most dangerous weapon. "
I nodded and gradually came to understand. That's why the Taoist priest he called Ling Xiao sealed the nine-tailed fox. But why did he appear again later? What is his purpose now?
As soon as I wanted to speak, I was stopped by Wen Jiubai's gesture. He seemed to know what I was asking.
"First, I do n’t know why he appeared after a few thousand years. At the beginning, when I heard a strange Taoist from Su Xiaoyu, I did n’t think of him. After all, he is still personal and there is no reason to experience it. I have been alive for such a long time. But as more and more incidents happened, his name also appeared more and more behind the scenes, and I became more and more sure that he was the Skyscraper I knew. To Ask why, because the purpose of our mysterious figure is too obvious. "
"What's the purpose?" Why didn't I see it?
"That's hindering me." Wen Jiubai turned and said, "No matter what he does, what weird plan is implemented behind the scenes, the end result is only one, that is my plan. I know that person, and he wants to do it. At this point it is entirely possible to do everything. "
"Is that right?"
"Ling Xiao ... what's the matter, he's like a child." Wen Jiubai thought for a long time and said such a sentence.
I was very surprised. I never expected Wen Jiubai to make such an evaluation of the dangerous Taoist priest.
"What do you mean?"
"Simply put, his perspective on the world is polarized." Wen Jiubai shook his head and said, "Children's perspective on the world is very simple. They can only distinguish between good and evil, good and bad. , Black and white. The extent to which they can understand is limited. They must be viewed in a polarized way. If not, they cannot understand the world. If you tell him that someone is neither good nor bad, he cannot understand it. If there is such a person around him, then he has to rack his brains and count that person as a good or bad person. So, can you understand? "
That turned out to be the case. I nodded, barely understanding Wen Jiubai's words.
"So people like Ling Xiao can no longer be described as stubborn. He simply has a cognitive deficit in the world." Wen Jiubai said, "After he sealed me, Qingqiu Kingdom has been destroyed by me. The fragment remains, and only a few people have survived. The survivors are unwilling to stay in their homeland and all fled to other places. However, only Ling Xiao, he can almost be said to be a stubborn defender. On the barren land, and imprisoned me who lost all strength, tortured day after day. He seems stubborn to think that as long as torture me, you can save this country and make up for everything. "
I couldn't help showing a sympathetic look to Wen Jiubai. I didn't expect Wen Jiubai to have experienced such a thing. It was neither comforting nor saying anything.
"Uh ... I deeply sympathize with you," I finally said dryly.
"I don't need your sympathy." Wen Jiubai smiled when he heard that. "I later found a chance to escape, far away from that country. I have never seen that Taoist again, and I have no idea what happened afterwards. I don't know. "
Having said that, Wen Jiubai poured himself a cup of tea and a glass of white water for me.
"So much is said, almost all the facts I want to tell you." Wen Jiubai took a sip of tea and said, "Presumably these questions, you have been curious for a long time, so take this opportunity to tell you all in one breath. And I asked you the question you originally asked. When you and Bai Ze were trapped in the cycle of time, I just let Bai find the whereabouts of Yu Ruyi. "
Wen Jiubai didn't say, I haven't felt long. When he said this, I realized that my voice was a little dry, and I quickly took a cup and took a sip of water.
"Looking for Yu Ruyi's whereabouts?" I asked. "Why do you want to find that thing now?"
"I have no real evidence, everything is just guessing. But I speculate that if Ling Xiao makes a comeback, he will definitely want to return to such a magic weapon." Wen Jiubai said dumbly, "So, it is best to get things in his hand before he finds Yu Ruyi." The right way. "
"Why does Ling Xiao want that Jade Ruyi?" I asked curiously.
Wen Jiubai squinted at me with an angle of his eyes, "If you are an Avenger who has waited for thousands of years but has not been able to kill the enemy, what is the first thing after you return?"
"Kill the enemy, of course." I said without thinking.
Wen Jiubai nodded, "But even if most of my strength was scattered, killing me was not so easy. Otherwise, he did it a thousand years ago. So at this time, Yu Ruyi will definitely be his Choose because it's an easy and effortless job. "
