Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 76: Vientiane (Part 1)
Destroying this mirage made Tang Jie's mood suddenly brighten.
He truly understood why many powerful people traveled the world and read all about life. Just because this is not only experience, but also participation and change!
In the past, he felt that cultivation is cultivation, and everything is common. If he gets too involved in the world, it will only make his own worldliness too heavy, making it difficult to transcend. The people have been suffering for a long time, and it is not something he can change. Even if he can change it, it will only be temporary.
But now he knows that he was wrong. If he doesn't clear away the dust in the world, how can he clear away the haze in his heart?
This troubled world is actually a reflection of one's own heart. Changing the world means changing oneself!
Understanding this truth, Tang Jie was so happy that he looked up to the sky and laughed three times. He rolled up a mirage bead left by the monster and flew into the air.
Xu Miaoran Yiyi didn’t know why he was suddenly so happy, but she had never seen Tang Jie smile for many days. It was always a good thing to see him beaming with joy now. Seeing this situation, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and looked at each other. He laughed and flew away.
The three of them flew all the way, and after flying over the mountains, they saw they arrived at a village.
Tang Jie frowned and said: "There is a **** disaster here, and there must be monsters doing harm here. [Let's go and take a look."
As he said that, he flew into the village.
He flew directly into the village. When the villagers saw him, they shouted and kowtowed.
Tang Jie didn't waste any time and asked directly if there were monsters doing evil here. The villagers all said so, but it turned out that it was a nearby mountain demon that often appeared and caused harm to the village. Tang Jie didn't say much after hearing this. He just called Tutu out and let him eliminate the demon by himself. After a while, the rabbit came back with a corpse in its mouth, which belonged to the mountain demon.
When the villagers saw it, they knelt down and worshiped. Tang Jie didn't care, he just relaxed his mind and blended into the world. When he did this, the endless sadness in the world made him want to commit suicide in pain. Although he still felt uncomfortable now, the haze in the sky seemed to have disappeared.
So Tang Jie knew that he had a long way to go.
From this day on, wherever Tang Jie went, he would pay close attention to his surroundings, and would take action if there was any injustice.
He usually doesn't search for it deliberately, but just acts according to the guidance in his heart.
Whenever he comes to a place and feels resentment boiling, he will take action to solve the root cause of the resentment. This source includes raging monsters, evil cultivators, greedy officials, and local gentry. Anyway, no matter what the Tang Jie is, as long as it is the source of resentment, it will be eliminated.
But if the person is not successful, Tang Jie will ignore it. Tang Jie knew it well. No evil can be eradicated, and the method of eradication is a delusion. After all, what he can do is not save the world, but only save himself.
To cope with that sadness, to cope with that sorrow and joy, to cope with that pain, to cope with that confusion.
During this process, Tang Jie gradually came to understand himself and found various problems that he had never discovered before.
On this day, Tang Jie came to a river. Feeling his resentment, he knew that there was a water demon in the river who would eat boys and girls every year. The nearby villagers had no choice but to offer sacrifices every year
Now that he knew about such a thing, Tang Jie didn't say anything and ordered to kill him. It was Ri Yiyi who fought with the water monster for half a day and finally got rid of the monster.
Unexpectedly, the resentment here not only did not go away, but actually grew even more.
At this time, even Tang Jie couldn't feel the reason. He could only go to Ke Village to inquire, and then he found out that before the water monster, this place had been harmed by other monsters, and its life was extremely miserable. . On the contrary, after the water monster arrived, it drove away other monsters. Although a boy and a girl are paired up every year, they do the least harm compared to the previous monsters. Given the lesser of two evils, the villagers would rather stay with the water monster.
Now that this demon is dead, the demon that was driven away at the beginning may come back~IndoMTL.com~ I feel terrified, and my resentment will naturally increase.
After Tang Jie found out, he was stunned and speechless, and said for a long time: "In that case, let's leave something for you."
As he spoke, a drop of blood flew out and blended into the nearby soil. The soil automatically turned into a statue.
"There is no harm in having this statue here." Tang Jie said and left. The statue was like a guard, guarding the river every day, and everyone just regarded it as an ordinary clay sculpture. He ignored it and his resentment lingered for a long time.
Until one day, the villagers discovered that a huge toad corpse suddenly appeared on the river beach. They knew it was a monster, but they didn't understand why the monster died mysteriously, and they were all frightened. It wasn't until someone discovered that there was a pool of blood on the hand holding the sword on the river statue that they all came to their senses.
A temple was then built, and the statue was invited back to the temple. From then on, there were no more monsters in the Hecun area.
Later generations thought it would be indecent to have a temple without a name, and they did not dare to give it a name without permission, so they burned incense and prayed every day. One day, the clay figurine said "Wanxiang", and from then on the temple was named Wanxiang. The Wanxiang God worshiped in the temple was much more majestic and domineering than the Xiaoyao Tianzun.
