First Immortal of the Sword Chapter 2391: The price of compromise
“Kill me? Or forced?”
The old man’s voice was hoarse, “Hehe, Baoye old man, is there anyone in this world who can force you to do something?”
Bao Ye shook his head: “No one can force me to do things, unless… I can’t control myself.”
Recognizing the problem, the old man frowned and said, “Older Ran Deng did something to you?”
Bao Ye nodded, “Back then, I had to pay a price in order to sneak into Xitian Lingshan. But now, this price has become the trump card used by Burning Lamp Buddha to manipulate me.”
The old man stared at Baoye engraving and said, “Why did you choose to do this back then?”
Bao Ye said: “Revenge for Old Demon Yi.”
Hearing this answer, the old man couldn’t help but startled.
Obviously, he felt absurd.
However, Bao Ye did not explain anything, but asked: “What about you, why did you become like this?”
Huangsha City, a mortal place that has been ruined to desolation.
But the Demon Lord of Five Desires is trapped here, no longer has the monstrous power of the past, and does not have the look of looking at the world. Instead, he looks like an ordinary old man who has fallen into the abyss, dying and sinking.
Even if his old servant died, he could only swallow his anger.
This made Bao Ye feel unspeakably absurd, sad and puzzled.
The old man shook his head, “Once you accept some things, you will have to bear the punishment and price. My business…don’t ask about it.”
Bao Ye sighed and stopped talking about it.
He swept his eyes over the densely packed spiritual seats, and said, “Aren’t these… all disciples of the “Pure Land of Five Desires”? “
The Pure Land of Five Desires is the orthodoxy created by the Demon Lord of Five Desires in Boundless Sea.
But later, following Yi Daoxuan’s death, the Five Desire Demon Lord personally disbanded the sect and chose to leave Boundless Sea alone.
“Just a handful.”
The old man spoke calmly, but there was an unconcealable sadness on the brows.
“Who is this spirit card without a name?”
Bao Ye pointed to the spiritual seat in the corner.
“I set it up for Yi Laomo. Every time it comes to his memorial day, I will burn three sticks of incense and offer him a pot of wine.”
The old man looked complicated, “After all… we used to be good friends who talked together.”
Bao Ye’s eyes were strange, “You don’t know what happened in God’s Domain these years?”
The old man shook his head and said: “I am a sinner who is trapped in this place, and I have already died on the road, so I don’t have the time to pay attention to those.”
Bao Ye sighed and raised her hand suddenly.
Bang!
The wordless token exploded into pieces and flew into the air.
“What do you do?”
The old man’s face darkened, and he said angrily, “That’s just the spiritual tablet I sacrificed to Yi Laomo, you can’t bear to destroy it?”
Bao Ye said: “He is still alive.”
Boom!
A light and fluttering sentence made the old man feel like being struck by lightning, his cloudy eyes widened, and he murmured, “Alive?”
“He has been reincarnated.”
Bao Ye’s eyes were bright, and he said, “If you pay attention to the news from the outside world, you don’t need me to say anything, you can know what he has done these years.”
“This… is actually true? He… is still alive!?”
The old man lost control of his emotions, his wrinkled cheeks were full of excitement and trance, “Great, great…”
No one knows that in the long years after Yi Daoxuan’s death, he has been filled with endless guilt.
Bao Ye was also upset, and sighed: “I have been holding back and waiting for an opportunity, so although I knew he was back these years, I have been holding back and not meeting him.”
“Who would have thought that forbearance and waiting, not only did not wait for the opportunity, but let oneself fall into a place of eternal doom…”
In the voice, there is a deep sense of helplessness, unwillingness and loss.
“What have you been through?”
The old man asked.
Bao Ye shook his head and said, “I don’t ask about your affairs, and you don’t ask about mine.”
The old man was silent for a moment.
And Bao Ye said: “While I am still awake, if you have anything you want to do, you can bring it up.”
“But, don’t try to escape! From the moment I saw you, even if the Burning Lamp Buddha is far away in the Lingshan Mountain of the Western Heaven, he must have seen all of this.”
The old man understood Baoye Demon Ancestor’s disposition and temper, so he naturally knew that the other party would never lie when he was waiting.
“Come with me to a place to see, I’m going to say goodbye to some people.”
The old man finally made a decision and stepped out of the dilapidated mourning hall.
Bao Ye followed behind.
It was already dark, but the wind and sand were still whistling, whimpering, weeping and complaining.
In this desolate and dilapidated small city, there are not many lights at night, and it is deserted and desolate.
When he walked out of the courtyard, the old man glanced at the corpse of the one-eyed old servant that had been covered by wind and sand, and finally stopped, took off the robe he was wearing outside, and covered the corpse.
Without saying anything, he turned around and was about to leave.
Bao Ye’s voice suddenly sounded from behind:
“Your disciples are living very well. In their hearts, you, the founder of the sect, have long passed away. In my opinion, it is better not to see you, so as not to die with sentimentality.”
The old man suddenly turned around, staring at Baoye standing not far away with his cloudy eyes, and said, “Lamp-burning Buddha?”
Bao Ye clasped his hands together, Bao Ye solemnly said, “Exactly.”
The old man suddenly showed anger, and said: “It’s not enough for you to kill me, but you also want to kill Bao Ye who has surrendered to you?”
Bao Ye, strictly speaking, Bao Ye, whose mind was manipulated by the Burning Lamp Buddha, said calmly: “He only wants to avenge Yi Daoxuan, but he has never really been loyal to me.”
The expression of the old man changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “So this time you want to use Bao Ye’s hand to kill me?”
“Good.”
“Why!?”
The old man’s cloudy eyes were red, and he was obviously irritated. “Back then, I had already sworn not to mix any right and wrong, and I also agreed to your conditions. Disband the Pure Land of Five Desires, leave the Boundless Sea alone, and never ask about right and wrong in the world.”
“How about you, but you never keep your promises and never let me go!!”
The old man’s emotions of enduring the endless years in his heart erupted like a volcano.
“My disciples were arrested by you one by one, some of them died, some of them were wounded!”
“And in exchange for the lives of those disciples, you forced me to compromise again and trapped myself in this yellow sand city with exhausted aura!”
“Okay, I agreed! But how did you do it?”
“In the past long years, anyone who came into contact with me was brutally killed by you!”
As he spoke, the old man was hoarse, his cheeks were ashen, full of grief and anger, “Just tonight, even the old servant by my side, a dying mortal, was killed by you!!”
That word, like the mournful cry of a beast weeping blood, was heard in the night sky, covering up the sound of howling wind and sand.
“Bao Ye” stood there quietly, listening calmly, without any disturbance.
“Why? I made a poisonous oath early on, I don’t want to be involved in the storm, I just want to stay away from those right and wrong!”
“But why don’t you believe it, and continue to persecute me step by step!?”
The old man’s beard and hair fluttered, his eyes were about to split, “Now, you old man Ran Deng still manipulates Bao Ye to kill me!! You… are so shameless!! If I knew this, I shouldn’t have agreed back then Your conditions!!”
Bao Ye finally opened his mouth and said calmly: “Yan Chi really took revenge for Yi Daoxuan, and he died without regret. Baoye took revenge for Yi Daoxuan and endured the burden. Although Die Yun never took revenge, he has been silently doing it for Yi Daoxuan works.”
“Aside from these three people, Jin He, Tianlan Shengjun, Jin Yuanzi, Shen Ning and others all tactfully joined us and worked for us sincerely.”
“Only your five desires are the least enlightened. You don’t want to be used by us, and you want to stay away from grievances. How can you in this world?
Could there be such a cheap thing? “
The old man’s expression was cloudy and uncertain, and his emaciated chest was heaving violently.
“So, what I despise the most is your five desires.”
Bao Ye looked indifferent, “For the lives of those sect disciples, you chose to give in and forbear again and again, which is why you have reduced yourself to this level, living like a ghost.”
“But you can only blame you for being too cowardly! Isn’t it?”
One word, like ten thousand swords gathered in the heart, made the old man tremble, his face changed, full of pain and grief.
His voice was bitter and hoarse, and he said, “I just want to protect the doormen and stay away from those grievances. Is it wrong?”
Bao Ye’s eyes were calm: “Your mistake is that you were in the same camp as Yi Daoxuan. In our eyes, the enemy who fled fearing the battle… is also an enemy!”
Speaking, he shook his head, “It’s a pity, such a simple truth, you don’t understand the five desires, and you still try to get away in a whimsical way, which is ridiculous and sad.”
The old man was trembling with anger, and his painful and angry appearance seemed extraordinarily helpless and desolate.
“Yes, I was wrong, the mistake is that I believed your promise back then!”
The old man gritted his teeth and said every word, “But now, do you really think you can kill me?!”
Bao Ye’s eyes were pitiful, and he said: “You still want to fight? Are you really so determined to disregard the lives of those disciples?”
The old man froze all over, as if someone had hit him hard with a sap, and he froze there.
Bao Ye said indifferently: “All this is a punishment for you, and it is also a punishment for Bao Ye. To blame… can only be blamed for the things that Su Yi has done recently. “
Su Yi?
The old man looked blank.
“He is the reincarnation of Yi Daoxuan.”
Bao Ye calmly said, “If my prediction is right, he will come to you soon, but unfortunately, you can’t wait until then. Only by letting you die in Bao Ye’s hands can Su Yi experience something It was a heart-wrenching blow.”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
Boom!
A dao light suddenly appeared, like a bright sun rising from the dark night, illuminating the heaven and earth, and also illuminating this desolate and dilapidated small city.
“You’re dead~IndoMTL.com~Your disciples can live.”
“If you resist, all the sacrifices you have made for those disciples in these long years will be in vain.”
Bao Ye said indifferently: “You choose.”
The old man’s expression flickered, he gritted his teeth, and was obviously struggling in his heart.
“I…”
The old man took a deep breath and was about to say something.
A roar of anger like thunder suddenly resounded:
“Choose a fart! When did the old bald donkey fulfill the promise you made? Why are you so confused about your five desires!!”
——
ps: Do you feel that the Demon Lord of Five Desires is stupid?
People, once you compromise on key issues, you will be forced to compromise again and again, just like putting out a fire with a salary. Don’t say you don’t understand the meaning of fighting fire with salary (╯^╰)
