Chapter 686 The Old Man in the Purple Bamboo Forest(1/2)

The old man sat on a small wooden stool, scratching this and that without any image, almost taking off his shoes and picking his feet. Anyway, he would do whatever he felt comfortable.

"The demons outside the domain, strange creatures from another dimension, were originally invisible and had no harm."

The old man's tone was relaxed, and he was telling it like a story.

"You may find it strange that creatures from other dimensions without body and without any harm can become the greatest source of evil in this world?"

"This involves all kinds of negative emotions in the world."

The old man sighed and said, "People have various emotions, and among these emotions, there is a positive side; there is also a dark and depraved side."

"What these extraterritorial demons like the most are the various negative emotions in the world."

"They were not immortal things in the first place, and they could not even exist in this world for too long."

"After all, the living environment is completely different. Under normal circumstances, there is no place for them to survive on earth."

"But all kinds of negative emotions in the world can provide these creatures with sufficient nutrients."

"For example, anger, irritability, bloodthirst, darkness... all kinds of negative emotions are their favorite food."

At this time, Xiao Gu said, "If you say so, it's no big deal for them to exist in this world, right?"

The old man said: "Yes, at the beginning, they were very weak and did not attract people's attention. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. It's no big deal to appear in a group of creatures that swallow negative emotions, and it's even a good thing."

Lee Young said: "Yes, if they can really eat all the negative things in the world, then the rest will be positive?"

"At the beginning, many people thought so, and no one paid too much attention to this matter." The old man smiled bitterly: "Later he realized that this idea was so naive. Not to mention whether all the negative emotions in the world would really disappear completely, even if it was really possible... but will these extraterritorial demons who tasted the sweetness willingly watch the world become a pure land?"

"It is impossible for itself to disappear completely." Bai Muye said, "No need for too large groups, there may be people with dark minds in a hundred people. Looking at the entire world, there are countless creatures, and it is impossible to completely eliminate negative emotions."

"Yes, it's an impossible thing in itself. Coupled with the deliberate cultivation of the demons outside the domain, it's naturally even more impossible." The old man sighed faintly.

"They change into various forms, enter the human world, transform into hypocritical forms, revealing a gentle appearance. Through various ways, they gain a higher status in human society. Then, through war, plague, and poverty... These ways make people become more and more selfish, degenerate, and irritable."

The old man looked at Bai Muye and said, "Those fallen people will soon become demons!"

"When the gods and Buddhas of the heavens discovered that something was wrong with the human world, they tried to eliminate these extraterritorial demons."

"But it was too late. At that time, the demons outside the domain had completely taken root in the human world."

"It's too hard to really clear them."

"And then at this time, some powerful extraterritorial demons began to be dissatisfied with the current situation at that time. They believed that they could already gain more resources."

"So, the ancient extraterritorial demons took the initiative to provoke the war."

"By understanding of human nature through their control over human nature, they wantonly slander and discredit the gods and Buddhas of the heavens who have been working hard to save the human world..."

"Sadly, more than 80% of the creatures on earth... believe their words."

The old man looked at Bai Muye and laughed, "Do you know what it feels like when you want to save someone, and that person is not only ignorant at all, but also wants to kill you with a knife?"

Although the old man was laughing, there was no joy in the laughter, but instead was filled with sadness.

Bai Muye, Lin Zijin and Xiao Gu were all silent.

"But even so, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens still did not give up on this world. After all, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were almost all creatures who came out of the human world. They knew that their hometown was not perfect, and they knew that although there were evil bad people in the human world, they were still kind people. They all tried their best to use the magic of the heavens to kill the extraterritorial demons. For this reason, they even died with the extraterritorial demons!"

"There are also Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have made various ambitions to save the world, and what they bet on... is entirely their own future."

"The ancestor of the Taoist sect used various means to awaken sentient beings on earth."

When the old man said this, he smiled slightly: "But failed."

Xiaobai, Zijin and Xiaogu all became extremely silent.

They knew the old man was telling the truth.

Because even today, the situation the old man said still exists.

But it is better than that of the era when the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were disappointed.

The old man looked at Bai Muye and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it's ironic?"

Xiaobai didn't say anything.

Lin Zijin said: "Although there are all kinds of negative things in the world today, overall, I think it's still very good."

"The world of brightness, the world of flowers, of course, it's good." The old man nodded and glanced at the water tank over there: "Otherwise, why did those fish try their best to go to the world? But why are they better? Do you know?"

Lin Zijin thought for a while: "Is it because of the battle that extraterritorial demons suffered heavy losses?"

The old man nodded: "Even though the world turned out like that, the saints still never really gave up and tried to save it. For this reason, the ancient heaven was broken and countless people died in battle! Some gods and Buddhas in the heavens also fell. And aren't you... one of them?"

"At that time, the extraterritorial demons on earth were indeed almost completely cleaned up..." The old man said lightly: "For this reason, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens used too many methods and spent too much effort! Almost nine out of ten of the myths you have heard were real things that happened in that era. The purpose is to eliminate those extraterritorial demons who are omnipresent and lingering."

"Until later, there was a bigger problem in Tianwaitian. The gods and Buddhas of the heavens had no choice but to leave the world and block the bigger hole."

"It's funny," the old man shook his head slightly, "When the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were blessed, the sentient beings on earth did not buy it. Even many kind creatures thought that everything was justified."

"They enjoyed the protection of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens with peace of mind, and watched the gods and Buddhas of the heavens with indifferent eyes... Including your fall, how many people are crying for you?"

The old man said lightly: "I don't know exactly what you were feeling when you died in battle. It seems that you have not awakened the memories of the past. I just guess at random that when you died in battle in the past, you should think about it that the world is not worth it and you don't want to wake up."

Lin Zijin shook her head, leaned against Bai Muye's shoulder, and whispered: "It doesn't matter whether the world is worth it or not, it's enough for me to have him."

Xiao Gu was caught off guard and was forcibly stuffed with dog food. He could only count the ants on the ground as if he didn't hear anything.

There are actually ants in hell?

He stared at the ant.

The ant raised his head: "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Gu: "..."

Damn it, aren't ants living in a two-dimensional world?

Why can it see me?

After the ant finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Xiao Gu and crawled away by himself.

Left Xiao Gu in the wind.

The old man laughed: "I forgot that Bai Shuai and Fairy Lin are originally a pair of fairy couples."

Bai Muye looked at the old man and said, "In other words, before the gods and Buddhas of the heavens left, they were actually about to completely clean up the extraterritorial demons on earth? But because something bigger happened in the outside world, they had to leave?"

The old man said: "It may also be because he is disappointed in the world."

"Are you too?" Lin Zijin asked at the old man.

The old man was slightly stunned, thought for a while, but did not deny it, nodded and said, "This hell is actually quite good. The name sounds quite scary, but after being separated from the six realms of reincarnation, it becomes a world of its own."

"After so many years, an independent rule has been formed here. And because the creatures in hell have almost gathered all the evils in this world."

"So, those extraterritorial demons would never succeed if they wanted to come here to cause trouble."

“So they won’t come here either.”

"It's still quiet. Since it's pure, it's good to do it."

"Then I don't understand. Since the creatures in hell gather the evils in the world, will the demons outside the domain be over and absorb negative emotions directly? Is there any need to do anything?" Xiao Gu asked at the old man.

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Do you really think that hell can come from anyone? They like it and have come to me to cooperate with me, but even if I don't want to talk about the world, I can't get along with that group of things. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the ancient heroes who fell for this in the past?"

Bai Muye looked at the old man and asked, "According to your words, the dark and negative things on earth have not completely disappeared in one day, and the demons outside the domain... will not die for a day, right?"

The old man looked at Bai Muye: "If this is true, will you still persist?"

"Yes." Bai Muye replied very simply.

"Nonsense!" The old man stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said lightly: "If you could persist, you would have crawled out of the grave and continued to fight. Why do you need others to wake you up?"

Bai Muye shook his head: "If we don't persist, we can't let others wake up."

The old man was slightly stunned, looked at Bai Muye, and after a while, he nodded with a bitter smile: "I have to doubt others say this, but what you said... Well, I admit that you can do it."

"So don't you plan to get out of the mountain?" Lin Zijin asked at the old man.

"Me? Why do I want to come out? It's your business if you want greatness. I'm a bad old man, and I'm used to staying in such a cold place. I'm just fishing two sloppy fish and make some fish soup. I live a very happy life, so I won't go out!" The old man replied without hesitation.

Lin Zijin smiled, and she had the urge to hold a knife, but she held it back.

He stood up and looked at Bai Muye and said, "Brother, we know the origin of the demons outside the domain. This trip is not in vain. Let's go."

Bai Muye nodded slightly, then looked at the old man and said, "Everyone has ambition and different choices. You have your way, and we have our way."

The old man laughed and said, "Ship Bai is indeed free and easy. The so-called "Dao is different and does not plan for each other. I am here. I wish Bai Bai can successfully rebuild the six realms of reincarnation, eradicate the evil of the world, and return a pure land in the world!"

Bai Muye smiled and said, "Well, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow hell for you at that time."

The old man continued to pat his body a few times, his face darkened, and he sneered: "Don't even think about it."

Bai Muye said: "At that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

The old man laughed and said, "What? Bai Shuai thinks he can beat me?"

Bai Muye shook his head: "It should be almost done now."

The old man sneered: "If you say so, then I shouldn't let you go!"

"Or, you can stay here. It just so happens that the three high priests in hell died at your hands. You three come here today. Although one of them is very bad, it doesn't matter. We have time."
